Chapter 49 The 'partner' who cooperates tacitly

Relying on Tang Zheng's lob shot from the penalty area line to break through the goal guarded by Valdes, Real Madrid equalized the score at the Nou Camp.

At the same time, the frenzy at the Camp Nou has dropped significantly.

And Tang Zheng's way of scoring goals was also a big blow to the home fans. Barcelona under Guardiola gave people the impression that the players' skills were unparalleled in the world. The Spanish national team also relied on the Barcelona team in 2008, 2010 and 2012. Three World Series Championships.

Shouldn't it be a unique skill of Barcelona players to have flowers under their feet?

Tang Zheng, from the fried balls at the beginning of the game to the lob shot to score the goal, all performed the pinnacle of technical players.

After being excited, He Wei, the commentator of Central 5, had a whim: "Tang Zheng fully demonstrated his super personal ability in the Nou Camp, and various small skills emerged one after another. I don't know if he can play in the next game. Let's see a more adrenaline-inducing play?"

The on-site director gave Barcelona coach Martino a close-up shot, He Wei's voice changed: "Barcelona at home was equalized by Real Madrid, Martino must make new tactical adjustments, otherwise once Real Madrid wins, the next There's a good chance the game will go back to the first half."

However, without a better solution, Martino made a palm-down action towards captain Harvey, which means that the team must temporarily stabilize and not rush to attack.

In fact, Martino's choice is not unreasonable. Real Madrid's morale will be greatly boosted just after the score is equalized, and the reckless strengthening of the attack is likely to hit the iron plate directly, and then bruises all over the body.

Not to mention exceeding the score again, you have to laugh if you don't lose points.

When the Real Madrid players slowly walked back to their own half, Martino's eyes wandered between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, and he always felt that the relationship between the two was not as rigid as it appeared on the surface.

But after Cristiano Ronaldo assisted Tang Zheng to score the goal, the two of them didn't explode emotionally, it seemed more ordinary.

damn it!

Thinking of this, Martino shook his head helplessly.

Reminiscent of the fact that the two had very little contact in the past 60 minutes, he was unwilling to believe that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo turned their fighting into friendship, otherwise how could there be so little contact in the whole game?

You must know that Cristiano Ronaldo's position in the premise of Benzema's appearance is a center forward, and there must be a direct connection with Tang Zheng as a midfielder.

Otherwise, it is difficult for the offense to pose a direct threat to the opponent's goal.

This is also the fundamental reason why Real Madrid won't score for most of the first half, because Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo have no direct contact at all.

In other words, Martino was afraid of the connection between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The individual abilities of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are already terrifying, if they connect with each other again, it will definitely be a disaster for Barcelona's defense.

The game restarted in Martino's thinking, Messi kicked the ball to Neymar, who passed it directly to Iniesta, and the overall formation unfolded accordingly, opening up the passing space.

As a guest, the yellow card just equalized the score, and he was full of momentum. He spared no effort to run, and hoped to make persistent efforts to overtake the score.

Barcelona still played according to their game rhythm, it seemed that they were not in a hurry to pass the ball forward, but transferred to the other side through the midfield players,

Real Madrid's equalizer goal gave Tang Zheng, Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria a taste of the sweetness, so the high position is full of enthusiasm.

However, Barcelona's defensive players have learned from the past, and their passing has become more careful and straightforward.

But a new problem emerged, because the kick was more crisp, so that no player in the frontcourt could control the ball at all.

It's not that the Barcelona players are not skilled enough at their feet, but that the straightforward handling of the ball makes it impossible for Neymar, Messi and Sanchez in the frontcourt to grab a spot against the tall and strong Real Madrid defenders.

Sanchez and Messi, who are about 1.7 meters tall, have outstanding speed and technique, but they can't do anything about the football flying around in mid-air.

There is a problem with the offense, and there is a problem with the defense.

Martino had no other choice but to replace Iniesta, who seemed to be less obvious, with Alexander Song. Alexander Song partnered with Busquets to strengthen the midfield interception ability.

Many Barcelona fans at the scene shook their heads when they saw the adjustment of the home team. They were used to watching Barcelona play against the opponent, but now they have to strengthen their defense under the pressure of Real Madrid.

So it's a bit hard for many die-hard Barcelona fans to accept...

※※※

In a blink of an eye, the game came to seventy-five minutes.

The two sides have offense and defense against each other, but the offense that threatens each other's goals has not come for a long time, so that the live director also photographed an old Barcelona fan in the stands who was a little drowsy.

It's not that the game was not exciting enough, but that the two sides returned to a balance point again.

As long as the balance is not broken, it is impossible for Barcelona and Real Madrid to spare no effort to attack, otherwise it is very likely that the offense will not score and the defense will lose the ball first.

At this time of the game, the physical fitness of each other has reached a critical point.

If there is another goal, it will be difficult for the other side to score again.

Therefore, whether it is Barcelona at home or Real Madrid at home, they do not want to lose to each other.

Leaving aside the importance of the national derby, the league has only reached the tenth round this season, and there are 28 more rounds to come. The error tolerance rate is relatively high, and the draw is one point each, and the points difference between the two sides remains unchanged.

If there is a winner or loser, the points will either shrink or expand. It will be beneficial to the winning side and loser, but it will definitely be a disaster for the losing side.

Especially Real Madrid as a guest, can't afford to lose!

Of course, Barcelona, ​​which sits at the Camp Nou, can't afford to lose!

The two leagues have played 83 times in the Nou Camp. Barcelona has 47 wins, 17 draws and 19 losses, scoring 165 goals and conceding 97 goals. The last home loss was in the 2011-2012 season. Mu's Real Madrid is not surprising.

It is different now, it is the first national derby of Martino's coaching career, and he cannot lose!

Seeing that the game was about to come to 80 minutes, Real Madrid took advantage of a dead ball opportunity to make the second adjustment of the game.

The young striker Jesse replaced Di Maria, whose physical fitness had declined significantly, and strengthened his ability to attack on the wing.

However, this adjustment is not unexpected. Whether it is Mu's Real Madrid or Ancelotti coaching the team, they are all pursuing a quick counterattack with extremely high efficiency.

Di Maria, who participated in the international match day and the mid-week Champions League match, has found it difficult to complete the related tasks strictly assigned by Ancelotti before the match, so it is a normal change to replace the young and faster Jesse.

The frenzied atmosphere at Camp Nou became even more frenzied as the game came to 80 minutes, and every fan was cheering for the team they supported.

The players on both sides of the field seem to be motivated by the fans on the field, and the number and range of forward participation in the attack is increasing.

Ancelotti and Martino frowned, but neither stopped the players from pressing forward.

Although no one wants to lose, everyone wants to win.

Martino's confidence comes from Messi showing signs of recovery, and Ancelotti's confidence comes from Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

As the head coach of Real Madrid, Ancelotti has a truth that Martino does not know.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo don't cooperate with each other?

nonexistent!

Two minutes into the game, Martino returned to the coaching bench from the coaching area of ​​the home team, discussing with his assistants whether he should play a third card.

Neymar integrated into Barcelona quickly, but physical confrontation and fitness are problems.

Barcelona's offensive has declined during this period. In addition to the overall impact, it is also related to the inability of Neymar's offensive left to defend Real Madrid's right.

After a brief exchange, Martino decided to replace Neymar with Pedro.

Not long after, Pedro changed his autumn jersey, stood next to Martino, and listened to George Baotaso's tactical explanation.

The Catalan TV commentator in the on-site commentary noticed the shots given by the on-site director, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Martino’s last substitution adjustment: “The game has come to nearly 85 minutes, the substitution Can the time be earlier?"

During the speech, Harvey's through ball in the attacking 40-meter area failed to penetrate Real Madrid's entire defense line and was intercepted by Pepe.

After plugging in, Neymar slowly slowed down and shook his head.

Tang Zheng retreated two steps quickly, and reached out to Pepe who was holding the ball at his feet for the ball.

Pepe passed the ball without hesitation, but Messi, who was trying to intercept with his feet, failed to touch the football, and the football rolled towards Tang Zheng.

Harvey has a strong ability to read the game. When Neymar and Messi are not present, relying on his own approach to press is fruitless, so he simply retreats.

At this stage of the game, the physical fitness of the players on both sides has declined greatly, so no one rushed towards Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng had a wide field of vision. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that there was no Barcelona player within three meters of his body. He easily turned around to meet the ball, facing the Barcelona goal.

Although Harvey didn't run towards Tang Zheng, he was keeping a close eye on Tang Zheng while retreating, and at the same time he was paying attention to the movements of Ramos and Khedira.

Tang Zheng didn't think too much, he saw that no one stepped forward to defend, so he slammed the ball forward.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Jesse shot towards Barcelona's defensive half like three arrows.

It was obviously unrealistic for Harvey to turn around to defend Tang Zheng, so he smartly lowered his speed to pay attention to Khedira and Ramos, and handed over the heavy responsibility of defending Tang Zheng to Alexander Song or Busquets.

Alexander Song, who was closer, didn't need Harvey to deliberately remind him, he moved laterally to intercept Tang Zheng.

Arisada Song, who had just come off the bench, was worth nothing, even if he was given a yellow card to keep Tang Zheng, he would not hesitate to do so.

Before playing, the head coach Martino had explained that Tang Zheng must not be allowed to play too comfortably during the transition from defense to offense.

However, no one paid attention to the running position of Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid's transition from defense to offense. He suddenly stopped on the spot when he was going forward, moved sideways, and moved closer to Tang Zheng.

In the process of running back, Busquets only cared about the running positions of Benzema and Jesse, and did not pay attention to the more threatening Cristiano Ronaldo at the other end. Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a long, threatening ball.

"Sergio! Be careful behind you!"

At this moment, Pique suddenly shouted.

When Busquets realized that the situation was not good, Tang Zheng had already passed the ball to the movement area where Cristiano Ronaldo ran laterally.

Cristiano Ronaldo led the ball forward with the outside instep of his right foot while running, accelerated from the opposite direction of Busquets who had completed his turn, and stepped across the midfield.

After Tang Zheng passed the football, he didn't stop at the same spot, but used his waist as the axis and ran to the front left, which is the position where Cristiano Ronaldo should appear in the transition from defense to attack.

Busquets had to wriggle back with Cristiano Ronaldo's movement and chase after Cristiano Ronaldo.

Alexander Song didn't make the mistake of looking at the ball but not the person, he followed Tang Zheng's running direction and chased after him.

But what he didn't expect was that Tang Zheng, who had already run for more than eighty minutes, looked like he had just started running, every step was full of strength.

Within a distance of three meters, Tang Zheng pulled Alexander Song halfway away.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo slammed the football back with a sudden kick with the heel of his right foot.

No one expected the way Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball.

Except Tang Zheng!

Alexander Song had a clear goal, which was to keep up with Tang Zheng, but the area restricted his first defense.

Because Cristiano Ronaldo's heel kick was just right, rolling right into Tang Zheng from the controllable area of ​​Busquets and Alexander Song.

Taking advantage of the time difference, Tang Zheng paused with his right foot, then quickly bounced the ball back to the running direction of Cristiano Ronaldo with the instep of his right foot.

It is equivalent to saying that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo use the attention of Alexander Song and Busquets to pass quickly with the football shift, buying precious time for the offense!

On-site commentary Xi Yang 5 commentator He Wei suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted: "C Ronaldo's beautiful heel kick! Tang Zheng made some adjustments and handed it to Ronaldo!"

Alexander Song and Busquets were a little dizzy from the continuous passing of Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng, and they almost couldn't keep up with their thinking.

After receiving the football, Cristiano Ronaldo entered the 40-meter offensive area. The double central defenders Pique and Mascherano seemed a little overwhelmed. Ke and Mascherano had to pay attention to Benzema while also paying attention to Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, the pair of 'partners' who suddenly cooperated with each other tacitly.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-"

At this time, the Barcelona fans at the Nou Camp realized that the team had encountered a huge threat, and they immediately booed hugely, hoping to interfere with Cristiano Ronaldo who was holding the ball.

Many fans even closed their eyes and prayed to God, hoping that God could be with them at this time.

But... does God really exist?
