As the referee Lahoz's first-half whistle sounded, the first half of the first leg of the El Clasico in the 2014-2015 La Liga season came to an end, and the two sides entered the locker room with a score of 1:1.

Although Real Madrid, who equalized the score, failed to take advantage of the victory to pursue the lead, the victory was very satisfying for the fans at the Bernabeu Stadium.

They firmly believe that Real Madrid, which has won nine consecutive victories in all competitions this season, will definitely be able to defeat Barcelona, ​​which has eight consecutive league wins at home!

Besides, being ahead in the first half does not mean that the team is leading when the whistle blows for the whole game, so the second half of the game is the top priority!

The fanatical atmosphere of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, which accommodates 81,000 fans, was affected by the end of the first half, and the atmosphere dropped somewhat obviously. But after all, fans are human beings, made of flesh and blood, and need energy replenishment, otherwise it will be difficult to support the entire game.

At the same time, commentators from various TV stations reviewed the end of the first half and analyzed the problems on the offensive and defensive ends of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Throughout the first half, Real Madrid's advantage lay in its control of the football when attacking. Barcelona's high-position pressure by Harvey is no longer suitable for Barcelona, ​​so there will be some minor problems in the process of switching from offense to defense.

Fortunately, Real Madrid's quick counterattack was not as sharp as before, and it did not pose a threat to Bravo's goal.

Of course, Barcelona's midfield control on the offensive end is still very good. In many cases, only Suarez is left as the forward to serve as the fulcrum and support. Messi and Neymar will return to the midfield to participate in the offensive organization, so they can be very good on the offensive end. control the football.

But sometimes it has to be said that victory or defeat is Xiao He. Messi and Neymar's attention has changed from creating opportunities to offensive organization and series. The previous offense that directly tests Real Madrid's defensive end rarely appears.

Barcelona's opening goal was the product of Neymar's attempted breakthrough, so no further goals were scored with Messi 'out of form' and Neymar isolated.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the Bernabeu through the tunnel to fight for the rest of the second half.

After changing sides, no one made the first change to the lineup in the first half.

However, the game tactics have been adjusted to varying degrees. Compared with the first half, Messi and Neymar have to take the ball more actively and increase the number of breakthroughs.

From the effect point of view, it is very obvious.

The breakthroughs of Messi and Neymar are not purely about passing the football.

Instead, the ball is passed to Messi or Neymar through the midfield organization, allowing them to get a one-on-one breakthrough opportunity.

An organized and premeditated breakthrough will naturally get twice the result with half the effort, but Ancelotti's Real Madrid responded quickly enough and quickly shrank its defense to deal with Messi and Neymar's breakthrough, leaving only Cristiano Ronaldo in the frontcourt as a counterattack support point. .

Although Barcelona's offense was aggressive at the beginning of the second half, led by Messi and Neymar, there were very few shots that directly threatened Casillas' goal.

As Tang Zheng paid more attention to Messi, Messi's breakthrough success rate dropped significantly.

Messi broke through and misfired, and Neymar was also affected to a certain extent.

Because other Real Madrid players guarding Messi no longer need to pay too much attention to Messi, they can free up more thoughts to pay attention to Neymar.

In addition, Xavi, who is now 34 years old, has been receiving turns from Real Madrid's three midfielders and his passing success rate has dropped significantly. The offensive organization work that originally belonged to Xavi had to fall to Iniesta.

You must know that Iniesta himself has his own offensive responsibilities, and now he has taken on Xavi's tasks, which is somewhat difficult to cope with.

Slowly, Barcelona's offense was no longer smooth.

The offense was not smooth, and it was the defense that was directly impacted.

Barcelona's frontcourt offense cannot bring sustained pressure to Real Madrid's defense. Once Real Madrid gets the ball, its offensive organization is extremely threatening.

Modric, Toni Kroos and Tang Zheng are all in their prime, James Rodriguez also has certain offensive organizational skills, Benzema has a strong support ability, and Cristiano has received sufficient rest time. ·Ronaldo can suddenly draw his sword out of its sheath at a certain time.

Cristiano Ronaldo once again completed a threatening shot that forced Bravo to make a key save, and the live broadcast showed a close-up of Barcelona's new head coach Enrique.

It is undeniable that eight consecutive wins in La Liga have made Enrique's coaching position much more stable, but the 2:3 loss to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage has put some pressure on him. If he loses to Real Madrid as a guest at the Bernabeu, the media and media who originally supported him will Fans may turn against each other again.

Anyone can lose, except Real Madrid!

In a relatively passive situation, Barcelona fans hope that Enrique can think of a foolproof way to reverse the situation.

At this moment, Bravo was under pressure from Benzema and made a mistake with his big foot, and the ball was intercepted by Tang Zheng who was retreating.

Xavi and Iniesta realized that the situation was not going well, and worked in perfect harmony behind them to try to steal the ball and foul.

Tang Zheng has a strong body. Xavi who stretched his foot to poke the ball was directly deflected by Tang Zheng's left foot. Iniesta's hook from behind did also catch Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng did not fall to the ground. On the ground, he staggered and completed a very accurate long pass.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was diagonally attacking the left rib, pushed the ball forward with his chest while running at high speed, and then hit the goal directly with his right heel.

Bravo subconsciously pounced to the left side of his body, and deflected the ball away from its original trajectory with the palm of his left hand. The football almost missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

"Oh oh oh——"

Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium let out a cry of regret.

If Cristiano Ronaldo's shooting can be more tricky, his goal can help Real Madrid take the lead!

What a pity!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who just missed the ball, also pulled his hair with both hands and screamed to the sky.

Immediately, the broadcast screen showed the visiting team's coaching bench on the sidelines. Enrique waved to the frontcourt players, waving from outside to inside, back and forth, signaling forward Suarez at the front to return to the penalty area to assist in corner kick defense.

Corner kick attack can be said to be a major offensive method of Real Madrid this season. Central defenders Ramos and Pepe are very capable of heading the ball, not to mention Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo. Plus Benzema, One can imagine the defensive pressure on Barcelona's corner kicks...

In Barcelona's corner kick defense, the Real Madrid players that defensive players pay priority to are Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ramos. Others like Pepe, Benzema, and James Rodriguez are all composed of Other players who don't have any advantage in height watch the defense.

Of course, Barcelona's corner kick defense is mainly based on active clearance, otherwise once the football accurately finds a Real Madrid player, it can be said to be a disaster.

※※※

"Real Madrid gets another chance for a corner kick... Will they take the lead with their obvious height advantage..."

During the words of Central 5 commentator He Wei, Toni Kroos took an offensive right corner kick.

The football has an obvious internal arc flying from outside to inside in mid-air, flying from the front point to the middle.

There was obvious tension between the players on both sides of the Barcelona penalty area, but the players on both sides of the forward point did not make any movements. They just raised their heads and looked towards the middle as the football flew.

Most of the players on both sides standing at the far end of the goal were like this. Looking at the football in mid-air, only a few players were moving selectively.

Goalkeeper Bravo looked up at the trajectory of the football and gave up attacking. He stood in the middle of the goal and focused on the players on both sides in the middle of the penalty area, especially Tang Zheng who had a height advantage.

Tang Zheng was stuck in position, and Pique had no choice but to do so. However, Pique had a lot of experience in the game and had encountered this situation too many times. He pressed his body against Tang Zheng.

Even if he couldn't hit the football, Tang Zheng wouldn't be able to hit it easily!

This...is the quality of a top central defender!

However, Tang Zheng never thought about completing the header on his own. With Pique close to him, he took off lightly, twisted his waist and swung his abdomen, and made a very beautiful turn to look at the moon and push the football to the far end of the goal.

The on-site director immediately switched the camera. Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the Real Madrid players appearing on the broadcast screen and suddenly shouted: "Pepe!!"

At the same time, Mascherano and Neymar, who were marking Pepe, had no time to make defensive moves. All they could do was pin their hopes on goalkeeper Bravo.

Of course, they also hope that Pepe, who is facing football, will fall short of his standard.

Bravo started moving the moment Pepe pushed the football, but his movement speed was still half a beat slower than the speed of the football Pepe pushed.

Pepe was not affected by the thoughts of Mascherano and Neymar. His rush to the ball was full of power. In addition, he was very close to the goal. Bravo, who had only moved two steps, did not even make a save. He stood still. Stay where you are and put your hope in God.

Half a second later, a deafening roar echoed over the Bernabéu Stadium: "Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

"Wonderful header relay! Pepe headed Tang Zheng's ball into the goal! Real Madrid went ahead!!" Central 5 commentator He Wei said passionately.

Although Real Madrid's equalizing goal was not created by Tang Zheng, it was carefully planned by Tang Zheng. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo's cross ball did not hit Mascherano's right arm, the ball would be passed to Benzema. horse.

Tang Zheng took most of the credit for the go-ahead goal. His ability to compete for headers caused most Barcelona defenders to focus on themselves, leaving other teammates in a relatively relaxed environment.

Pepe's dash to the top of the ball is the embodiment of Tang Zheng's role!

Pepe was very excited when he scored. As a central defender, it was very difficult for him to score, so he celebrated wildly on the rare goal. Moreover, this goal was the go-ahead goal in the national derby, which was of extraordinary significance.

Pepe, who was celebrating the goal crazily, naturally did not forget Tang Zheng who provided him with the assist. He turned around, put his arm around Tang Zheng's shoulders, and said loudly: "Tang! Your header behind the ball is so damn beautiful!!"

Tang Zheng said modestly: "No, no, it's because you chose your position too well. Being able to score goals is a reflection of your ability!"

Pepe knew that Tang Zheng had a humble personality, so he said nothing and followed his teammates to shout to the sky, venting the excitement of overtaking the score!

Immediately, the broadcast screen was shown to the Barcelona stars.

The broadcast screen swept across Messi, Neymar, Suarez, Iniesta, Xavi and other players, and the loneliness was palpable.

The Barcelona fans in the stands never imagined that the team they supported had a dream start but ended up like this. From leading to a draw to falling behind, this feeling was as bad as stepping on dog shit!

However, many optimistic Barcelona fans believe that hope lies behind, and the current score behind does not mean that they will be behind forever.

Wasn't Real Madrid's score reversal based on being behind?

Since Real Madrid can reverse the score, can't Barcelona?

Before the start of the game, Barcelona took the lead in making personnel adjustments.

Sevilla captain Rakitic, who transferred this summer, replaced veteran Xavi.

Enrique's substitution adjustments are obvious, adding some vitality while maintaining midfield control.

Harvey is 32 years old this year, and his mobility has greatly declined. Busquets even has to make up for Harvey's defensive deficiencies when switching from offense to defense.

Replacing Harvey can be said to have been guessed by many commentators in advance. After all, Harvey is now old and his running ability has greatly declined. As the brains of the midfielder, he has lost himself in frequent physical confrontations and has difficulty organizing. Effective offense.

Replacing the younger Rakitic is very reasonable.

But then again, reasonable is reasonable, but it is a pity that Rakitic, who came on the bench, still needs time to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

In the restarted game, Barcelona's offense was still not optimistic despite having a kick-off advantage, but its role on the defensive end was still quite obvious. Being able to attack and defend well, he could act as a defensive barrier that Harvey could not.

Falling behind, Messi and Neymar began to try to break through, trying to create scoring opportunities.

However, in the fanatical atmosphere of the game, both Messi and Neymar played a little impatiently. Coupled with the hot state of Real Madrid's defensive players, Messi and Neymar never found a decent opportunity.

On the contrary, Real Madrid almost made a high-quality quick counterattack to expand the score!

Cristiano Ronaldo received Tang Zheng's scalpel-like long pass. Although it did not help Real Madrid expand the score, it sounded a warning to Barcelona.

Enrique was almost scared out of his wits when he stood on the sidelines, so he quickly made a continuous downward movement with both palms toward the players on the court, signaling that the players should organize the offense more patiently.

The Barcelona players on the field executed the tactics very well. The next offensive opportunities they got were mainly based on patiently organizing the offense, and no longer blindly broke through or shot.

It has to be said that Enrique's adjustments were very timely and in line with the game situation. Only by patiently organizing the offense can Barcelona's traditional control football be fully played.

Slowly, Real Madrid was in continuous passive defense again.

The close-ups of the live broadcast frequently began to take care of Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

It is not difficult to see that this is 'urging' Ancelotti, it is time to make substitution adjustments...
