In the remaining two league games in March, Real Madrid won steadily. On the 13th, they defeated the newly promoted Las Palmas 2:1 away, and on the 20th, they swept Sevilla 4:0 at home.
Wang Feng contributed 2 goals and 1 assist, and Yin Guayin also increased his league goals to 39, getting closer and closer to his first Golden Boot.
The national team match day will arrive as scheduled in the next two weeks, and then the Galacticos will go to Camp Nou for the century derby.
This arrangement is exactly the same as the first half. Most players have to go through a lot of work before participating in such an important game.
La Liga is still full of suspense. Barcelona has taken the initiative, but history has proved countless times that their lead is not reliable. Coupled with the 0:5 defeat in the first confrontation, Enrique vowed to take revenge and completely **** the league championship.
Galaxy Battleship has nothing to say, they can only strive to win, otherwise the gap between the two sides will further widen, and they may lose their hope of winning the championship.
As the main players returned from injury one after another, Ancelotti did not make a dangerous move to move Wang Feng back. Instead, he used the four-three-three formation that everyone is very familiar with, goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
Four defenders Ramos, Marcelo, Carvajal and Danilo, Pepe's physical fitness and technical level are also slowly declining, gradually sitting on the bench this season.
Three midfielders Kroos, Casemiro and Modric.
The three forwards are Wang Feng, Yin Guayin and Bell.
The Italian's approach was somewhat beyond Enrique's expectations. He believed that the tactical effect of the opponent in the first confrontation worked, and he would definitely continue to use it this time, so he formulated a special countermeasure for this.
That is to change to a 442 formation, add a starting midfielder Roberto, put Neymar on the bench, and Messi can retreat at any time to participate in the midfield strangle.
As a result, all these arrangements came to naught, "What an old fox!" Enrique looked at Ancelotti, who was not far away, and looked at Ancelotti, who was half-smiling.
"Since you are so confident that you can stop us without relying on Wang Feng, then let's have a good look at the growth of the team!"
"Barcelona's passing in the midfield area has been smoother, and the addition of a player has somewhat weakened the threat of Real Madrid's pressing."
"Yes, the home team currently has the vast majority of possession, which is similar to the previous games, but the old problem still exists, it is difficult for them to penetrate the penalty area."
"During this period, Real Madrid did a good job intercepting, especially Modric frequently retreated to meet Casemiro, and Wang Feng's position was mainly in the midfield."
"Despite the use of four-three-three, the coaching staff and players of the visiting team understand that the first priority is to come to the Nou Camp to fight and defend. Barcelona must not let Barcelona seize the penetration space."
If Ramos will assume the role of team captain after Wang Feng leaves, then Modric may assume the core role in tactics.
This diminutive midfielder with both offensive and defensive capabilities was once not recognized by fans, but the Chinese superstar has always looked at him differently and supported him, and his growth and development have lived up to their trust.
Born in a poor environment, his physical condition does not seem to be suitable for high-intensity confrontation sports such as football. He is neither tall nor strong, nor fast, because his thigh muscles are not strong enough and his explosive power is limited.
But Modric was able to rely on his talent and perseverance to become one of the best midfield masters in world football, and was selected as the top three in the Golden Globe vote.
His two-foot technique is very balanced, and he is full of spirituality when changing positions and running. In the first half, Real Madrid had several threatening attacks, which were all related to the cooperation between the Croatian and Wang Feng.
For example, in the 27th minute, Marcelo made a steal from the backcourt and passed it to Modric in the midfield area. At this time, Barcelona's defensive positions on his side and in front were very tight, so the Croatian chose to pass back to Ramos.
After the ball was passed, Rakitic immediately went to catch up, and Modric began to run sideways into the space. As expected, his teammates quickly found him and passed it back.
After receiving the ball, he didn't rush forward blindly, but distributed it to Wang Feng, who was thrusting in from the side, and the Chinese superstar rushed forward, while he followed slowly behind.
Seeing that most of the defensive mind was taken away by Wang Feng, Modric suddenly accelerated and rushed to the sideline of the penalty area. At this time, the Chinese superstar sent an inverted triangle pass back with a tacit understanding.
The Croatian caught the ball and rushed into the penalty area, and then volleyed from a small angle to the far end. Unfortunately, the ball went slightly wide of the post and passed the sliding goal.
Modric rubbed his blond hair slightly annoyed, clapped hands with Wang Feng who was running back, and continued to participate in the game.
It can be said that in this attack, he has done the best in observation, running, passing, and responding, only the finishing touch is slightly lacking.
Excellent vision and pass dribbling skills are enough to play the role of court commander, taking over the three areas of the front and back. This is also an important basis for why Wang Feng believes that he can become the core of the team's tactics.
The role of Croatia's midfielder is far less than this, and the performance on the defensive end is also very good. Several times in the game, assisting anti-slip shovels and steals are very critical, preventing many Barcelona from attacking.
In addition to Modric, Real Madrid also has another midfield gem, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Casemiro, who is only 24 years old, the Brazilian is actually holding his breath to participate in this century derby.
Because he was not recruited by the national team coach Dunga two weeks ago, this is a shame for him who is firmly established as the main force of the Galaxy Battleship. Casemiro wants to prove his strength to the world.
The Brazilian midfielder has strong physical fitness and stealing and interception capabilities, and at the same time has the delicate technical characteristics of Samba players, so it can also be said to be excellent in offense and defense.
Unusual defensive intelligence is Casemiro's innate advantage, and he can always rely on it to reduce the opponent's offensive threat.
For example, in the 37th minute, Iniesta sent a direct pass to the edge of Real Madrid's penalty area. Suarez was unable to stop the ball under the interference of Carvajal, and the ball flew four or five meters away.
The Uruguayan immediately accelerated to catch up. At this time, Casemiro, who was about to flank the defense, immediately turned his gun to grab the ball.
Relying on its size advantage, Brazil's midfielder got stuck in the position and grabbed the ball first, and then made a sideways trip to completely get rid of Suarez's entanglement, but Rakitic also rushed to intercept him on his only way.
At the critical moment, Casemiro once again evaded Barcelona's midfield block with a reverse dunk, and then dared not neglect, rushing to clear the ball out of the dangerous area before other players blocked it.
Whether it was the initial decisive turn around to chase the ball, with both the ball and the opposing player in his eyes, so that he was cleverly stuck in his position, or the continuous spiking and changing directions in a very short time and in a very small space, it all shows that Casemiro has excellent defensive awareness and foot technology.
In the first half, the two teams fought fiercely and no one could do anything to the other, and the score remained at 0:0.
Barcelona had the upper hand with a possession rate of 69.1%. They had 7 shots and 4 shots on target, and the most threatening one hit the post.
The Galaxy Battleship also had 5 shots and 4 shots on target, which seemed to be evenly matched.
