Chapter 583 Get started, you don't care where I fall

The national derby, as the focus of this round, is scheduled for [-] o'clock on Sunday night.

This is also a key battle for the top of the La Liga standings.

Prior to this, Atletico Madrid won the league and temporarily ascended to the top position.

But as long as either Barcelona or Real Madrid win, they can successfully reach the top.

For Atletico Madrid, of course, it is hoped that the two sides will draw.

Although Real Madrid won Liverpool without bloodshed in the middle of the week, the continued absence of Ramos and Varane left hidden dangers in the defense.

Whether the central defender combination of Militao and Nacho can withstand the attack group led by Messi is still doubtful.

Under the operation of Koman's three central defender system, Barcelona has won a wave of [-] consecutive victories.

Their new system also has to accept the test from the Real Madrid striker combination headed by Rossi.

Since Rossi joined, Real Madrid has won all the games against Barcelona and achieved an impressive record of killing four opponents.

If they win again this round, Real Madrid will not only be able to reach the top of the standings, but also complete a double-kill against Barcelona for two consecutive seasons.

In the starting arrangement, Zidane made some adjustments.

The goalkeeper is still Courtois.

The defense continued the Champions League starters, Mendy, Nacho, Militao and Vazquez.

Single midfielder Casemiro.

There are four players in the midfield, namely Vinicius, Toni Kroos, Modric and Valverde.

Center Rossi.

Barcelona's 16-game winning streak has allowed Koeman to strengthen the three-central defender system.

The goalkeeper is Ter Schent.

The three central defenders are Langley, Araujo and Mingesa.

The midfielders are Alba, De Jong, Busquets, Durst.

The double midfielders are Pedri and Messi.

Center Dembele.

The overall strength of the starters on both sides is comparable, but the absence of the Real Madrid captain makes them slightly lose their opponents in morale.

This season, Zidane appointed Ramos, Marcelo, Benzema and Varane as the team's four captains.

Due to injuries and tactical considerations, none of the four captains appeared on the starting list.

According to the tradition of Real Madrid, one of the assessment criteria for the captain is the length of time he has joined the team.

Kroos, Modric, Nacho and Casemiro in the team are the oldest.

Nacho, who was born in Real Madrid's youth training, became the captain of this national derby.

The absence of Benzema surprised Koeman.

The French center's fulcrum support at the front end and the attack at the back are both top-notch and the most important part of the Real Madrid system.

Sitting on the bench now, Koeman can think of reasons, one is that he is injured or in poor condition, and the other is that as a tactical backup, he will come off the bench in the second half.

Nacho, who participated in the national derby as the captain for the first time, lost the right to kick off in the coin guessing session, and was a little unhappy.

When calling his teammates to form a circle and mobilize before the game, his voice was also slightly nervous.

The nervousness of the national derby and the urgency of the standings competition made him more stressed.

After a bland speech, Nacho asked conclusively: "Do you have anything to add?"

"Have!"

Everyone thought that after shouting slogans, they returned to their defensive positions.

Rossi's words attracted their curious eyes.

"When I was not a professional player, I dreamed of wearing this white jersey one day and playing against Barcelona."

"Now my dream has come true, we beat Barcelona four times."

"But I haven't forgotten that they beat us five times in a row. We scored 16 times and we only scored two goals in five games."

"Do you still feel that our four victories are something to be proud of?"

Everyone looked awe-inspiring and kept silent.

But in their eyes, there is a scorching fighting spirit.

Only Ramos, Benzema and Marcelo are left in the Real Madrid team who have experienced that dark moment.

But being in this historic duel, everyone can feel the past history.

16:2, this is an insulting score for Real Madrid.

After seeing the change in the eyes of his teammates, Rossi made a look at Nacho, implying him to make the last speech.

Nacho, who is a Madridist, was also immersed in it just now, filled with righteous indignation.

Boy Luo, this captain is more responsible than me.

After receiving a hint from Rossi, he shouted the team slogan passionately.

"Hala Madrid!"

After a long whistle, the referee pointed to the attacking side, and the 244th Spanish national derby officially started.

Dembele passed the ball back into midfield and Rossi immediately pressed forward, but he was alone.

Pressing is a tactic that Real Madrid often use in defense, but they are not very good at it.

Because of Real Madrid's frontcourt pressure, the defense lines will not be compact enough.

After the midfielder's attack, there will be a large space behind him.

Once the front line of defense is breached, the midfielder will be flat in the eyes of the opponent.

In previous national derbies, Messi, as a free man in the frontcourt, lurked in the gap of Real Madrid's defense and repeatedly created threats.

In order to avoid this situation, Zidane chose to give up the high press and use the defensive position to protect the penalty area.

Take the initiative to give up possession of the ball, allowing Barcelona to do whatever they want in pass control.

The three central defender system created by Koeman liberated the midfielder Busquets, allowing him to participate in the offense more and get in touch with Messi.

Not only that, the premise of the wing back allows Barcelona to gain a numerical advantage in the midfield, which greatly exerts their "small ball" passing cooperation.

Real Madrid's main defensive counterattack strategy, Valverde's position is intriguing.

When the Uruguayan teenager was defending, he faced Barcelona wingback Alba to form a five-back system.

Five backs vs three central backs.

Real Madrid and Barcelona had a direct dialogue on defense.

With Valverde's recycling protection, when Barcelona advances the attack, Modric and Kroos will actively rush up and put pressure.

The gaps behind them are filled by full-backs.

In this way, Real Madrid's defense is actually an elastic change of five backs and four backs.

Alba and Pedri's offense was unable to advance, and Barcelona's sharp left offense was severely hindered.

The attack on the strong side was not smooth, and Barcelona began to try in the middle.

Messi, as the attacking midfielder, is the core of Barcelona's central attack.

Real Madrid's strategy is to interfere with Messi and slow down Barcelona's offensive speed by grabbing and sieging.

When necessary, Rossi must also return to the defense and participate in the defense of Messi.

In the first 10 minutes of the match, the tactics of the two sides were very obvious.

In the away game, Barcelona used the three-back system to speed up the offense.

Real Madrid, which is playing at home, is a counter-prevention strategy and gives priority to defense.

This is also an act of desperation.

Not to mention that Barcelona's pass control is still at the top level in the world. With Real Madrid's current defense line, it cannot support high-intensity pressing.

Under the tight defense of Real Madrid's five central defenders, Barcelona could not find a good breakthrough opportunity in the middle.

As soon as Messi got the ball, he was immediately grabbed by Kroos or Modric.

At the same time, the full-backs also quickly approached, forming a siege.

Seeing this situation, Koeman asked Dembele of the false nine to retreat, and cooperated with Messi to break the opponent's central defense.

In the 15th minute, Messi received a through ball from Busquets in the half-area of ​​Real Madrid's half, changed direction and broke through Modric's attack, and rushed towards the penalty area.

In Koeman's tactics, Messi's role in the midfielder position is to pass the threatening ball and organize the passing cooperation in the frontcourt.

Under his leadership, Barcelona completed consecutive kicks hitting the wall outside the Real Madrid penalty area.

In the end, Dembele took the ball into the penalty area.

Dembele, who had recovered from his peak period, instantly left Casemiro behind with his explosive power when leading the ball forward.

However, Nacho's timely supplementary defense prevented Dembele from facing the goal and chose to turn around and smash the ball.

Nacho had exhausted all his strength when chasing back. When the opponent suddenly kicked back, he had no time to brake and reached out to grab Dembele's clothes.

And at this moment, Dembele headed towards the baseline, fell directly in the opposite direction, and lay on the turf.

In the Bernabéu stadium, boos suddenly sounded.

Nacho's defense was suspected of fouling, but Dembele's reverse fall was obviously a flop to cheat a penalty.

Now the La Masia Academy of Film and Television, is there such a shortage of talents?

To the anger of the Real Madrid fans, the referee pointed at twelve yards for such a poor performance and awarded Barcelona a penalty.

Nacho immediately stepped forward to complain.

Such an obvious dive, can't you see it?

Faced with the Real Madrid captain's questioning, the referee was unmoved and warned Nacho that if he questioned his penalty again, he would be warned.

[There is no doubt about the penalty kick, but this penalty... Let's watch it in slow motion! 】

[Don't jump to conclusions! 】

【Hiss~】

[Dembele's fall is indeed a bit...]

[Generally speaking, the direction of falling to the ground is related to the force! 】

[I don't think Nacho's pulling power is stronger than Dembele's changing direction! 】

[This is completely against the principles of physics! 】

[But the fact is that Barcelona won a penalty through this anti-gravity fall! 】

[If I were asked to comment on this penalty kick, I would say, get started, you don't care where I throw it! 】
