Public Enemy [Soccer]

Chapter 67 March 4st Update

Obviously, not only the Real Madrid players themselves, but even the commentators were stunned.

"Barcelona are obviously terrified of the presence of Ivan Fernandez...they have put out the highest standard to prepare for it. I really didn't expect to see such a scene. For Barcelona, ​​​​he is obviously more of a threat than anyone else. Much bigger."

Of course Barcelona remembers this young man. This is their biggest threat to the championship, and it is also the only scruple they have been rampant in football over the years.

A sword across Barcelona's head.

If it weren't for the existence of Ivan Fernandez and Manchester United, Barcelona would be the terrifying team that people can't look directly at. Just facing it will only make the opponent feel desperate.

But precisely because of their existence, Barcelona proved to be not invincible, they have flaws, there are enemies, and there are also people who can topple them from their thrones and step over their corpses to win the trophy.

This is very unbearable for Barcelona.

Now that Ivan is back at Real Madrid, the most hated Ivan plus the biggest enemy, double the hate, and double the importance, they have to pay more attention to Ivan.

For Ivan, all of this is nothing, he has long been used to it, but when Alonso seems to be trying to pass the football to him, he is still very impatient when he does not succeed after several back and forth of.

If this continues, Real Madrid will easily be dragged into the opponent's rhythm again. This is not good news.

Therefore, Real Madrid No. [-] made a very risky decision.

He didn't continue to stay in the midfield. The midfielder on the opposite side had obviously made up his mind to spend time with him. Looking at the eyes of Xavi and Busquets, although he didn't always pay attention to the situation here, as long as a pair Looking at it, he could see the vigilance in it.

Obviously, the previous failures and setbacks in the national team are enough to make Barcelona very wary of him.

This is not what Ivan wants to see.

He made the opponent very vigilant, but at the same time, the opponent did not relax their grip on other positions.

Therefore, the triangle tactics are really annoying.

Ivan slandered the tight marking on the opposite side, while slowly retreating.

It's time-consuming with Barcelona here, so it's better to go to the backcourt to help defend.

A slight change in Ivan's position has indeed made Real Madrid's midfield a lot easier. I don't know what the opponent thinks. Even if Ivan retreats, they still focus most of their energy on the seemingly harmless on Ivan.

The transfer of Barcelona's defensive center of gravity made the frontcourt start to move. The ball that was originally under the feet of Alonso and Modric finally began to go forward. Cristiano who took the ball cut into the left side of the penalty area and swayed continuously. Pique and Adriano followed with low shots, but unfortunately the ball hit the side netting.

The screaming at the Nou Camp quickly turned into a sigh of relief. Cristiano’s lethality was well remembered. Fortunately, the angle of the Portuguese shot was too tricky. He couldn't handle it either.

Valdez held the football in his hands, looked ahead calmly, and kicked off the ball with a big kick.

Barcelona's attack!

They have long been accustomed to the exquisite passing and ease brought by the triangle tactics. The sweeping offense brought huge pressure, which slowly penetrated into the opponent's team, disintegrating their fighting spirit and counterattack a little bit. The sharp blade will directly pierce the opponent's goal, as easily as piercing a piece of paper.

Real Madrid's defense couldn't stop Barcelona's pass, and they watched Barcelona's sharpest blade easily control the ball under their feet.

Lionel Messi has the ball.

Once Messi has the ball, no one else has anything to do, and Real Madrid certainly knows this.

Fortunately, Pepe is here today.

Pepe has always been one of Real Madrid's most solid backers. The simple and honest Portuguese has consciously shouldered the burden of the team. He has done any dirty work in silence. Facing Messi's direct rush, You are about to enter the restricted area!

Pepe chose to foul.

In order to intercept Messi's footsteps, he directly tackled Messi from behind!

The whistle sounded, and the referee ran over with a serious face. This position is very sensitive. If you are not careful, it may be a red card. Pepe looked innocent. Real Madrid teammates also ran over to intercede for Pepe, but no matter what It is a fact that it should be impossible to grind him to innocence, but he cannot just end up like this anyway.

Originally, Real Madrid was already playing very hard. If there was one less player, they would really be overwhelmed, not to mention that the opponent was Pepe?

I don't know if the referee felt that sending off Real Madrid alone at the beginning would make the game unfair, or he found that Messi was still some distance away from the penalty area. After hesitating for a while, he raised his card.

Yellow card warning!

This punishment is still within the acceptable range of Real Madrid, including Ramos, Marcelo and Pepe himself are relieved.

As long as it is not a direct red card, as long as Messi can be intercepted, the price is not too great.

It took Messi a long time to straighten up from the ground and squeeze his calf.He has long been used to being treated with such caution. In fact, it is not just him. For most superstar players in football, the only thing that can stop them is fouls.

And some people, even with fouls as the price can not stop their footsteps.

Facts have proved that when facing Messi, Real Madrid can only use this method to intercept.

The second person to move his feet was Bell.

Messi, who was shoveled to the ground again, frowned viciously this time, and it was not far from the penalty area again!If it was on the edge of the penalty area, he could still earn a penalty!

But obviously the referee can't stand it anymore, this is the Nou Camp, if he doesn't make any more gestures, he may be torn apart by the Barcelona fans!

The Argentine's free kick from 30 yards directly shot slightly higher.

Up to now, Real Madrid and Barcelona have had at least three head-on conflicts. In such an explosive and tense scene, the two sides failed to score a goal. This is a very anxious thing. in this way.

In the 14th minute, in the corner kick melee, Pique was given a yellow card by the referee for a handball.

In the 25th minute, Modric made a pass from the bottom, and Bell's long shot was confiscated by Valdes.

In the 32nd minute, Alonso cut into the left side of the penalty area and made a low pass. Benzema shot before the point and was saved by Valdes.

In the 40th minute, Benzema made a cross from the right, and Cristiano headed the goal over the crossbar.

Ivan's retreat is obviously very effective. Except for Messi's few attempts, Real Madrid obviously has more offensive opportunities than Barcelona. They put the focus on Ivan and let the entire lineup lean forward. The defense of the backcourt is not as tight as before.

But at the same time, his retreat also brought inconvenience... The attack was there, but every time it was a little bit close, and no effective goal was achieved, which is still very helpless.

At the end of the first half, both Real Madrid and Barcelona ended with a black face.

When Ancelotti entered the locker room contemplatively, he was almost taken aback by the low air pressure in the locker room.

Although they failed to score in the first half, it was quite normal from his point of view. Ivan’s retreat made their offense not so strong, and at the same time gave more opportunities to the frontcourt. They just lost A little bit of luck, so it's not that easy to score goals.

...There is no need for everyone to be sullen, right?

Especially Cristiano, that face almost became the bottom of the pot.

Ancelotti smiled bitterly: "What's the matter, everyone, it's unnecessary, right?"

Cristiano didn't speak, but Ivan next to him spoke first, and replied slowly: "Coach, it's not an unnecessary question. We are all worried about not scoring a goal."

"It's not just you who are worried, Barcelona is also very worried." Ancelotti secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just a matter of scoring goals, he was not so worried. Mistakes or emotions will add up, and the second half is when we really decide the outcome, whoever gets restless first loses."

Ancelotti was very serious when he said this, but the fact is as he said, they were testing each other in the first half, and the second half was the moment when they really started to attack.

Sure enough, from the beginning of the second half, the two sides were full of gunpowder. Only 5 minutes into the game, Real Madrid's offense was very sharp, and Ivan finally moved to the front.

——When he saw him, Barcelona's expression instantly became serious.

They don't want to see Ivan playing around in their penalty area again, it's better to stay in their own half like in the first half!

However, Ivan certainly would not let them succeed, he passed the ball very calmly in the opposite press.

As a midfielder, of course he doesn't only know how to attack. After the football was allocated to Modric, Ivan started to run immediately. Of course he knew how much Barcelona obsessed with him, so even if he didn't have the ball When he is on the ground, his running is also enough to involve part of Barcelona's attention.

Modric, who got the ball, of course also saw Ivan's efforts in running, and immediately chose to pass from the bottom.

This time the cross is obviously more threatening, both Bell and Cristiano have a great chance!

"Oh!"

The originally noisy audience suddenly lowered their voices.

Whether it was Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​they all stared wide-eyed and covered their mouths, as if they had seen a ghost.

Barcelona's backcourt held their heads, especially Pique's expression of disbelief.

Real Madrid is much simpler here. Cristiano looked at the direction of the goal and let out a "tsk", very upset.

The commentator was silent for two or three seconds before speaking again, stuttering a bit.

"0:1, Real Madrid's goal... from Pique's own goal!"
