Midfielder Ruler

"Real Madrid's iconic quick counterattack expanded the score to 3:1!! According to Barcelona's desire to score points, it is almost impossible to equalize the score! Tang, who scored the goal, is in great condition as always. I think he will be in the remaining The next Spanish El Clasico will definitely continue to work hard and help the home team win the final victory of the game, what do you think? Martin?"

British Sky commentator Andy Gray turned to look at his old partner Martin Taylor.

Martin Taylor looked down at Tang Zheng, who was celebrating wildly, and said with a smile: "I have never been worried about Tang Zheng's El Clasico. I don't know if you remember, old man, but in short, I remember that Tang Zheng has never lost in the El Clasico." , whether it’s Argentina’s El Clasico or Germany’s El Clasico, I think the same is true for Spain’s El Clasico, he is a player born specifically for big scenes!”

Andy Taylor looked at the picture thoughtfully. Thinking back carefully, it seemed that just as Martin Taylor said, Tang Zheng had never lost in a national derby...

The fanatical atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu continues to rise, and the emotions of the Real Madrid players celebrating the goal are naturally uncontrollable in this atmosphere.

Immediately, a close-up shot of the live broadcast was shown to the Barcelona stars. Fans sitting in front of the TV could see from the captured screen that Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Iniesta and other Barcelona stars were in a low mood and looked shameless. My feelings towards Jiangdong’s elders.

At this time, the on-site director will naturally not forget Barcelona's new head coach Enrique. The expression on his face is even uglier than that of the players on the field, because the goal conceded by our side is directly related to his substitution adjustments. .

If Rakitic hadn't taken the risk to pass the ball to Iniesta, how would Tang Zheng have the chance to steal the ball and then participate in the goal?

In other words, the direct responsibility for conceding the ball lies with Enrique's substitution adjustment, and he picked up a rock and hit himself in the foot.

The most important thing is that Rakitic's appearance has not made any achievements on the offensive end except improving the defensive deficiencies in the middle.

The frowning Enrique was not regretting replacing Rakitic, but thinking about how to make up for the shortcomings, because the substitution had already been made, and there was no use regretting it, but he saw from the bench that it could be used There are only a handful of players.

In the end, Enrique's eyes were fixed on the 'veteran' Pedro.

Pedro's strength and talent are not particularly outstanding, so he completely lost his starting position after the introduction of Neymar and Suarez, but he also has impressive aspects.

His off-the-ball movement and game attitude are unmatched by many professional players. Enrique feels that the team should send Pedro when morale is relatively low.

If Sanchez were still at Barcelona,

Maybe better.

This time Enrique did not make substitution adjustments quickly. Instead, he studied with his assistant for more than five minutes before making substitution adjustments.

The player who was adjusted off was the new player Suarez, who had not had any chance to perform in this game. However, many commentators did not criticize Suarez. After all, he was sentenced to a four-month global suspension at this year's World Cup in Brazil and had just returned from the ban. It is not easy for him to catch up with the national derby.

In the 71st minute, Barcelona made its second substitution adjustment, and Pedro entered the battle.

Central 5 commentator He Wei shook his head after seeing that the player who was replaced was Suarez: "I think many fans sitting in front of the TV at this time will feel a little regretful, because with Suarez's end, we have been waiting for a long time. A straight flush versus a straight flush match is no longer possible..."

Pedro's appearance has increased Barcelona's guerrilla ability in frontcourt offense, but the problem that cannot be ignored is that without Suarez at the forefront of the striker, the pressure on Real Madrid's defense can be said to be minimized.

The three midfielders in Real Madrid's changed 433 formation have a high degree of freedom on the defensive end. With Tang Zheng holding back, Modric and Toni Kroos can help defend Messi and Neymar according to the defensive situation. Or Pedro.

Coupled with Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema who actively recovered to the ribs, Real Madrid's defense was flawless with a two-goal lead.

As the game time came to the 75th minute, Barcelona players, who were two goals behind, showed some physical conditions.

There was a fierce Champions League group match in the middle of the week, and there was another crucial El Clasico at the weekend. Enrique's Barcelona did not make any rotations for the lineup, so Barcelona, ​​which was eager to reduce the score, encountered a physical critical point.

It's not that Barcelona players can't run at all, but that at this point in the game they need time to buffer, otherwise it will be difficult to persist in the game.

Real Madrid, who are sitting at home, have not made any changes to the lineup, but Barcelona has made two adjustments. The on-site director gave Ancelotti a close-up shot of his face.

The meaning of this shot is very obvious. When Barcelona players are in physical condition, should they make adjustments and strive to kill the game?

However, Real Madrid has not yet made the first substitution adjustment of the game, but Barcelona has already played its third card.

Iniesta, who was responsible for the third goal conceded, was adjusted off the field and Sergi Roberto came on as a substitute.

Seeing this substitution adjustment, the Catalan TV commentator was very helpless: "Luis Enrique was too conservative. Now he is two goals behind. Barcelona should pile up forwards instead of adjusting the position and replace Andre." Andres Iniesta, because Andres Iniesta is a fantastic player and keeping him on the pitch will definitely help..."

Obviously, Barcelona's third substitution adjustment has been made, and it is useless to regret it. This means that Barcelona can only rely on the eleven players on the field for the rest of the game.

The game restarted, and Central 5 commentator He Wei gave a positive response to Barcelona's adjustment: "The adjustment to Xavi is understandable, but replacing Iniesta is a bit confusing, because Iniesta's physical fitness is completely fine. , that is to say, Enrique's substitution was an expression of his dissatisfaction, and Iniesta was directly responsible for Barcelona's third goal conceded!"

As the words were spoken, Barcelona's wave of non-threatening offense ended abruptly with a mistake, and Real Madrid switched from defense to offense.

The player who made the mistake was Roberto, who had just come on as a substitute.

Fortunately, Real Madrid's offense did not pose a threat to Bravo's goalkeeping, otherwise Enrique's substitution adjustments would have become the target of public criticism.

※※※

At the 80th minute of the game, Real Madrid finally made the first substitution adjustment of the game. Isco replaced James Rodriguez, which was completely opposite to the adjustment that many commentators speculated on strengthening defense.

Isco is not as valuable as James Rodriguez, but his technical ability is much better than that of James Rodriguez. The intention of replacing Isco has become obvious.

Ancelotti hopes that Isco's ball control ability will help the team stabilize the overall situation, because the team's main formation this season will become a four-three-three, and the core of the tactics is to emphasize midfield control. Isco's playing will definitely be able to Strengthen the direct control of Real Madrid's midfield, especially on the offensive end.

Isco also came on as a substitute in the Champions League midweek and is in excellent physical condition.

After losing his stable playing opportunities this season, he realized that if he wanted to get more playing opportunities, he had to perform to convince the head coach Ancelotti, and El Clasico is one of the few opportunities to prove himself!

Isco's active running directly enhanced the efficiency of Real Madrid's midfield transition between offense and defense. As time passed, Barcelona came under increasing pressure on both offense and defense.

The Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu roared with thunderous cheers, creating waves of cheers.

The game time is getting shorter and shorter, but the score has not changed. In other words, according to the current game process, Real Madrid is very likely to win the first leg of the 2013-2014 La Liga El Clasico with a score of 3:1!

If the game had ended here, Real Madrid would have surpassed Barcelona by one point and topped the league!

Messi and Neymar, the two talents that Barcelona has high hopes for, seem to be affected by the overall downturn and have never been able to find their best form.

Of course, Messi's slump is largely related to Tang Zheng's defensive strength.

Tang Zheng has always been fast, accurate and ruthless in defending Messi. Every time he releases the ball, he is very accurate. It will also give Messi an illusion - if he doesn't give up control of the football, he will be destroyed!

In this subconscious situation, Messi chooses fewer and fewer breakthroughs and more and more passes.

Perhaps more passes in other games will be of greater benefit to the team, but this is not the case in El Clasico. When regular offense is completely restricted, the role of stars is very important to a wealthy team.

Top stars like Messi and Neymar should stand up when the team is in difficulty!

But it is a pity that neither Messi nor Neymar seems to have played this role.

In the 83rd minute, Real Madrid made another substitution adjustment. Khedira replaced Benzema, who helped Real Madrid overtake the score.

The purpose of this substitution adjustment is very obvious - to strengthen defense!

Is it really the truth?

no!

Khedira came on the field with a certain offensive intention.

Benzema was substituted, Cristiano Ronaldo moved to the front of the striker, Tang Zheng's position was given a certain prerequisite, and the deep midfielder was handed over to Khedira, while Toni Kroos and Modric remained as midfielders. Auxiliary defensive role.

Since all three of Barcelona's cards have been played, it also means that they have no room to adjust.

Real Madrid only made two substitution adjustments, and there is still a lot of room for adjustment.

However, anyone who knows football knows that Ancelotti’s last adjustment is most likely to be defensive, because Real Madrid, which is leading by two goals, no longer needs to score anymore, as long as the two-goal lead is maintained until the end of the game. .

With Khedira coming on, there are still six minutes left in regular time, including ten minutes of injury time at most.

No one expected that the most obvious performance of Khedira's performance was not defense, but offense!

Because Khedira's appearance indirectly liberated Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng no longer needs to focus all his attention on defense. He can free up more time to participate in offense.

No one expected that Barcelona, ​​which was trailing by two goals, and Real Madrid, which was leading by two goals, would switch roles at the last minute of the game. Real Madrid would dominate the offense and Barcelona would defend passively.

Ancelotti replaced Khedira and his original intention of liberating Tang Zheng was just to control the football more and consume the game time reasonably. However, Tang Zheng was very frustrated after defending for most of the game. He had a strong desire to perform and directly faced the Barcelona defense. He is often able to play exquisite coordination with Cristiano Ronaldo and Isco, making Barcelona defenders difficult to guard against.

Barcelona can't hit anything on the offensive end, and Real Madrid can't feel the pressure on the defensive end. Toni Kroos and Modric, who were originally strong and weak offensively, have become like a fish in water and can provide full support to the frontcourt attack.

Therefore, at the end of the game, Real Madrid, who played at home, took control of the overall situation, and Barcelona passively defended.

In the 89th minute of the game, Tang Zheng received a back-heel pass from Cristiano Ronaldo and shot past Mascherano with a fake shot. Another central defender, Pique, had to pull out to defend Tang Zheng.

At this moment, Tang Zheng quickly retracted his swung left foot, and then with a hidden tip of his toe, the football rolled towards Barcelona's penalty area.

Pique, who was pressing forward, subconsciously raised his right arm to signal that Cristiano Ronaldo, who ran into the penalty area across from him, was suspected of being offside. However, the assistant referee did not raise the side flag in his hand and instead followed Cristiano Ronaldo forward. .

In other words...not offside!

"Ouch-ouch——"

Suddenly, there was a deafening roar above the Bernabeu Stadium.

Those Real Madrid players who thought the situation was determined stopped at the exit and turned to look at the court. They could just see Cristiano Ronaldo facing the Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo who abandoned the goal.

"Cristiano Ronaldo faces Bravo!!"

Following the shouts of Central 5 commentator He Wei, Cristiano Ronaldo adjusted his steps, raised his right foot, and pushed to the far corner.

Bravo, who abandoned the goal and attacked, lowered his center of gravity and threw his body to the lower left side.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was very close, leaving Bravo very little time to react, and the football flying close to the ground ran very fast. Bravo made a save but failed to touch the football. The football scraped against the inside edge of the uprights at the far end of the goal and rolled into the net.

4:1

At the same time, British Sky commentator Andy Gray suddenly shouted: "Cristiano Ronaldo received a pass from Don and scored single-handedly! Real Madrid led Barcelona 4:1! They completely sealed the victory!!"

Commentator Martin Taylor was passionate: "An incredible game! Barcelona made a fantastic start as a guest early, leading Real Madrid 1:0, but who would have thought that Real Madrid would score four goals in a row when trailing 0:1?"

Although Cristiano Ronaldo's goal is the icing on the cake, this goal is of great significance. 3:1 can also give Barcelona hope of equalizing the score, but 4:1 is different...

Ancelotti, who was in front of the home team's coaching bench, raised his fists vigorously. He knew... this game was safe!

Real Madrid will surpass Barcelona by one point and reach the top of the league!
