Chapter 375: The annual Spanish national derby

After playing in the Champions League, Atletico Madrid returned to La Liga to prepare for the tenth round.

The biggest highlight of the tenth round is the "Spanish Derby" between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Fueled by the media, the showdown between these two giants has become the most eye-catching game in world football today.

In the standings, Real Madrid currently ranks behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid with a three-point disadvantage. If Real Madrid can win away from home, it will be able to tie Barcelona in points.

Barcelona has maintained the upper hand in the duels in recent years, and of course hopes to defeat its main rivals with its home advantage and continue to put pressure on Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid's opponent in this round is Real Betis, who is ranked third from the bottom, and it is playing at home, so the probability of winning is very high.

Therefore, Barcelona knows that if they cannot defeat Real Madrid at home, they will be widened by Atletico Madrid.

This "El Clasico" attracted more than 200 media from all over the world to report on the scene. The main attraction was the showdown between the stars.

In the past few years, the "El Clasico" has been about the on-field competition between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and the on-site command of two famous teachers, Mourinho and Guardiola.

This year's focus has almost entirely shifted to the showdown between stars on the field. Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, Messi, and Neymar have become the focus of this game.

Over time, Bale and Neymar gradually adapted to the rhythm of La Liga, and their performances were supported by fans of their respective clubs.

At six o'clock in the evening on October 27th, Camp Nou was crowded with people, and the war was about to break out.

Ancelotti made significant changes, Ramos became the defensive midfielder, and Bell also appeared at the center position.

This move has aroused heated discussion in the media. Will this change bring miraculous effects?

"drop!……"

The referee blew the whistle and the game officially started.

The game was very stalemate from the beginning, with Real Madrid almost refusing to give in and struggling with Barcelona.

Like previous "El Clasicos", the game was extremely hot.

In the seventh minute, Busquets received a yellow card for a foul on Di Maria.

In the eleventh minute, Barcelona, ​​playing at home, finally created a shooting opportunity.

Neymar passed the ball, and after Messi returned the ball, his shot from the edge of the penalty area hit Varane and was deflected. Diego Lopez struck out in time to confiscate the ball.

In the fourteenth minute, Ramos fouled Neymar and was given a yellow card!

A minute later, Real Madrid also received its first shot. Bell's long shot from outside the penalty area went over the crossbar.

In the next game, Barcelona continued to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense.

In the 18th minute, Adriano passed the ball, Neymar passed Carvajal and then shot a rebound ball from the edge of the left penalty area and it went into Diego Lopez's arms.

In the 19th minute, Iniesta made a wonderful pass outside the penalty area. Neymar flew forward into the penalty area and shot a low shot from the left side of the penalty area!

The football hits the net from the far corner!

One to zero!

The Brazilian star scored his first goal in the "El Clasico"!

This goal caused thunderous cheers at Camp Nou.

Barcelona almost expanded the score in the 21st minute. Iniesta made a direct pass, and Messi's single shot from the right rib of the penalty area missed the far corner.

"coax!……"

There was a huge cry of regret at Camp Nou.

In the following game, the competition between the two sides was extremely fierce.

In the 34th minute, Adriano tackled Ronaldo from the wing and was given a yellow card.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Bell fouled Pique and received a yellow card!

In the first half alone, both sides received a total of four yellow cards, which shows how intense the fight was.

Barcelona entered the second half with a one-goal lead.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona continued to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense by virtue of their home advantage.

Real Madrid launched a defensive counterattack.

In the 23rd minute of the second half, Camp Nou once again set off a climax. Neymar made a direct pass. After Sanchez got rid of Varane, he shot outside the penalty area!

The football lobbed past Diego Lopez and into the net!

Two to zero!

Barcelona extends its lead!

Neymar shines.

Real Madrid did not give up the game and looked for every opportunity to put pressure on Barcelona's goal.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Real Madrid's efforts finally paid off. Cristiano Ronaldo broke through and crossed from the wing, and Jose, who was ambushing in the back post, fired a powerful shot!

The football flies directly into the goal!

One to two!

Real Madrid scored a face-saving goal.

In the last few minutes, Barcelona did not give Real Madrid a chance to create a miracle. They maintained the 2-1 score until the end of the game and got the result they wanted.

Marca commented on the game after the game: "Ramos has no miraculous effect, Ancelotti's experiment failed."

AS also criticized Ancelotti, using the following headline: This will kill Real Madrid! Ancelotti is too stupid to imitate Mourinho and what about the beautiful football he promised?

The comment read: "Ancelotti made a strange move in Real Madrid for the first time, but it didn't work. Real Madrid eventually lost 1-2 to Barcelona, ​​ending their five-game unbeaten streak against Barcelona.

Ancelotti sent a trident combination of Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale in the frontcourt. Considering the hot state of Bale and Di Maria, it is not surprising that the two started.

Whether in Ancelotti's interview with Ser Radio or in the pre-match press conference, the Italian hinted that Bell might start, so it is not surprising that Bell appears in the starting lineup.

However, Ancelotti took it for granted how to arrange the positions of these three people. He regarded Bell as a "pseudo center", and Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria were separated on the left and right.

After the game, Ancelotti explained why Bell was asked to play center, saying that it was to suppress Barcelona's Busquets. As a result, Bell lost his space in the center and could not use his speed advantage. Even when he got the ball, he was very impatient and hurriedly chose long-range shots.

.

Another major failure of Ancelotti was the three-midfielder strategy, with Modric and Khedira on both sides and Ramos in the middle.

Ramos, who is used to playing as a central defender, suddenly moved to the midfielder position. The Real Madrid captain was inevitably uncomfortable and almost received a second yellow card and was sent off.

Ancelotti's purpose of letting Ramos play as a midfielder is obvious, to contain Messi. This is similar to the three-midfielder tactics in Mourinho's era. At that time, Mourinho put Pepe in the midfielder position in order to contain Messi.

Defend Messi.

However, Ancelotti learned Mourinho's tactics and was neither a donkey nor a horse. For this reason, Ronaldo actively returned to his own half and actively defended several times.

Real Madrid in the Mourinho era was accused of playing ugly football, but now Ancelotti, who sticks to beautiful football, continues to lead Real Madrid back to ugliness, which makes the Galacticos look a bit different.

In June, Ancelotti joined Real Madrid with a smile and promised to play beautiful football in Real Madrid. During the warm-up match, he devoted himself to creating a Christmas tree shape and focused on building a three-man system of Ozil, Modric and Insco. After that, Insco's amazing performance transformed the team.

Change to a 4321 formation and choose Ozil who is good at passing the ball.

However, against Barcelona, ​​Ancelotti tore off the so-called beautiful football mask, tore up his commitment, and resorted to the three-midfielder tactics of the Mourinho era, but was restrained by Barcelona.

The current Real Madrid coached by Carlo Ancelotti does not have a clear set of tactics, and the situation is becoming increasingly chaotic. It is far inferior to the Real Madrid of the Mourinho era, and now it has even lost its special ability of quick counterattacks."
