All-around center

In the center of Barcelona, ​​the Camp Nou stadium was filled with an exciting atmosphere.

This stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, was packed with people. The fierce cheers and shouts were like a tide, shocking everyone's nerves.

People focused their eyes on the big screen, through which they could see that the players from both sides had already stood in two rows in the player tunnel, ready to enter at any time.

Barcelona was captained by Xavi, standing in the front row, with a serious face and a very solemn expression.

Real Madrid's teammate in this game was Suker.

Suker had also worn the captain's armband many times. When Ramos could not play, Suker was the mainstay of Real Madrid.

The camera passed over the players from both sides one by one, and when passing Neymar, it stayed for a while and gave some close-ups.

He had a slightly rustic crew cut, darker skin, and a relatively thin body, but during this time, he had conquered many local fans with his unparalleled dribbling performance.

A talented teenager who became famous in Brazil, he still maintained a high level of performance after joining the Spanish giants, and even integrated into the team very quickly.

For this reason, many Barcelona fans are also looking forward to Neymar's performance in this game.

It is understandable that Neymar did not perform well in the Spanish Super Cup before the season.

After all, he had just joined Barcelona, ​​and he was not particularly familiar with the tactics and system, and it was difficult to find his own position, so it was naturally difficult to play.

But now that a few months have passed, Neymar's adaptation speed is also very fast.

In addition, with his outstanding performance, his teammates are also willing to pass the ball to him, which has caused Neymar's performance to be better and better.

Today, Neymar is an indispensable part of Barcelona, ​​and has given Barcelona great support in vertical breakthroughs.

"Neymar needs to be vigilant!"

Ancelotti also said slowly while looking at the big screen.

Zidane: "His style is more of a Brazilian style, with many fake moves and he is also very good at passing, but the key is his starting speed and flexible technical application in the game."

Ancelotti nodded: "However, we still have to look forward to Messi!"

Zidane nodded again, agreeing with Ancelotti's opinion.

No matter how well Neymar performs, Messi is the most threatening key point.

This is like Real Madrid. No matter how well Bale performs, other teams will only stare at Suker.

The core of tactics and system is still dominated by Suker/Messi!

"Get ready to play!"

Accompanied by the referee's words, the faces of the players on both sides suddenly became tense.

They followed the referee's footsteps and stepped into the stadium.

When they walked out of the player tunnel, the cheers of tens of thousands of people on the scene also rang out suddenly, shaking the whole stadium.

Of course, there was only booing left for Real Madrid.

Cheers and boos intertwined, and the tense atmosphere before the game reached its peak.

"This is the Spanish national derby of the 2013/2014 La Liga season, a crucial match on Christmas Eve!"

"Barcelona vs. Real Madrid at home!"

"In the past few seasons, Barcelona always encountered many unexpected situations when facing Real Madrid, and ultimately failed to win the game. Messi, their core player who they trust very much, is also the key target of Real Madrid. Unable to use Messi's vertical breakthrough ability, Barcelona often needs to rely on Iniesta to break through, but this also leads to a decrease in midfield control. Real Madrid can rely on this to continue to strengthen midfield control!"

"But in this season's summer window, Barcelona made a transfer choice that was enough to shock the football world. They won the Brazilian genius player Neymar, among many European In the competition among the giants, they became the final winner. "

"Neymar's arrival enriched Barcelona's tactical options and playing style, and at the same time, they also had an additional option when facing difficulties. "

"Therefore, for Real Madrid, in addition to Messi, they also have to be careful of the breakthrough threat from Neymar. "

"For Barcelona, ​​I think the psychological factor they need to overcome most is that due to the poor performance in the past few seasons, they have missed a victory, which will definitely leave a trace of haze on the psychological level. "

"They must overcome this mentality in order to play normally in the game, and they also need to be calm enough. Only in this way can they find a way to defeat Real Madrid! "

When it came to this, the starting lineups of both sides had already appeared on the big screen.

Barcelona (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Bravo.

Defenders: Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba.

Midfielders: Xavi (captain), Alexander Song, Iniesta.

Forwards: Messi, Pedro, Neymar.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Diego Lopez. Defenders: Srna, Varane, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Casemiro, Kroos, Kaka.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Suker (captain).

The referee called the two captains together.

Suker shook hands with Xavi and exchanged team flags.

They are old rivals, so there is no strange feeling. It is more of a formal smile and handshake, but after the game starts, it’s time to do it!

At the moment of choosing sides, Real Madrid took the lead in getting the kick-off right.

Barcelona asked for the left side of the field.

The tactical game between Real Madrid and Barcelona started from the kick-off.

Both teams are very particular about details, so after getting the kick-off right, they can get the initiative at the start, and the playing style will be different.

Suker and Benzema stood in the center circle waiting for the kick-off.

Suker was still jumping to warm up, and the camera gave him a close-up.

However, when Suker's groan appeared on the big screen, the fans in the stadium booed continuously.

Suker turned a deaf ear to this. Suker was already used to being booed at the Camp Nou.

In Barcelona's half, Messi's expression was serious, while Neymar looked eager to try.

In the tense atmosphere, the referee ran out of the center circle and blew the whistle.

At the moment when the sharp whistle sounded, Real Madrid decisively kicked the ball,

and the whole game began!

"The game starts! The game starts! Barcelona plays Real Madrid at home, and the focus of this La Liga battle has finally begun!"

"Real Madrid took the lead in the first half. After the kick-off, Real Madrid, wearing white jerseys, played very cautiously. Barcelona may be playing at home, so they played more actively."

In the stadium, Barcelona's high-pressure pressing was very fierce.

They kept chasing and intercepting Real Madrid's ball-holding players, trying to force Real Madrid to pass forward as soon as possible.

Real Madrid was also unambiguous about this.

They couldn't adopt the same tactics as Chelsea when facing Barcelona, ​​and play a passing and controlling style with the opponent. They didn't know how to die.

"Go up! Press up!"

Neymar was very excited and even directed his teammates to press forward.

But before he rushed up, Xavi behind him immediately shouted; "Come back! Tactical position!"

Xavi noticed that Suker had approached the wing and was about to receive the ball.

Once Neymar fails to retreat in time, Xavi will have to face Suker's impact directly. He alone is not enough to stop Suker.

And once Suker reaches the back line, it will be really dangerous.

Neymar is also very obedient and immediately retreats to his position.

Seeing this scene, Suker couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, moved slightly to the inside, and stood in a better position for passing.

Only then did Xavi breathe a sigh of relief.

He really didn't dare to let Suker play at all. After all, they have been beaten by Suker for so many years.

For Suker's defense, they must be 120,000 points of spirit, only in this way can Suker's performance be limited to the lowest level.

But even so, they dare not say that they completely limit Suker.

After all, so far, no team dares to say this. If they can successfully limit Suker, Suker will not be the century-old problem in football.

At the beginning of the game, both sides attacked more tentatively, and the pace of the game was relatively slow.

Neither side accelerated the pace of the game, and continued this stable game process.

Soon, Real Madrid was intercepted!

Bale was intercepted by Alexander Song and Alba under interference, but Real Madrid did not pay much attention.

When playing against Barcelona, ​​they would not force the ball too much.

Barcelona will have more control over the ball, but the counterattack of Real Madrid will be more intense.

After Barcelona got the ball, their advancement also changed.

In the past, they attacked to the right, that is, Messi's side.

But this time, Messi began to shrink inward, giving up the wing and taking more of a transfer position.

Messi passed the ball to Neymar.

After Neymar received the ball on the wing, Casemiro and Srna also arrived in time.

"So fast!"

Neymar looked up and saw the situation that was not favorable to him at a glance, and immediately passed the ball back to Xavi again to control it.

"Neymar is very cautious. He did not risk a breakthrough, but sought a more stable way to deal with it. Facing the joint defense of Casemiro and Srna, he really needs to be careful!"

"In this game, Real Madrid changed the previous single defensive midfielder style to a double defensive midfielder. Casemiro and Kaka each occupy one side, which allows Casemiro to focus more on marking Neymar!"

As the commentator said, Real Madrid's tactical move is to deal with Barcelona's interference from Neymar and Messi on both wings.

It turns out that Ancelotti's tactics are indeed meaningful.

Barcelona coach Enrique on the sidelines looked indifferent, but he kept rubbing his index finger and thumb, showing a hint of uneasiness.

Just at this time, Messi took the initiative to come to the middle again.

This time, Messi was closer to the central axis and pretended to force a breakthrough.

This move attracted Casemiro's attention. In order to prevent Kaka from being passed, he stood closer to the middle and closer to Messi's direction.

And Messi also noticed this scene while turning around.

Before he finished turning, he had already used the arch of his left foot to push the ball smoothly to the left, in front of Neymar.

This time, Neymar had no restrictions on receiving the ball, and there was only Srna in front of him.

"Here it comes!"

Srna looked serious and immediately pressed forward. Varane followed suit and stood in a safer position.

Real Madrid's defense is linked together. Passing Srna does not mean passing the entire defense line.

But the danger still exists.

After receiving the ball, Neymar rushed forward along the sideline to the bottom line.

Srna did not rashly follow and pressure Neymar to go outside.

And when Neymar stopped, Casemiro also rushed to the right position.

The two stood in front of Neymar and guarded him tightly.

"What will Neymar do if he fails to break through?"

At the tense moment, Neymar suddenly started forward, looking like he was going to pass.

Casemiro and Srna also rushed directly.

Seeing that they were about to fall into confrontation, Neymar paused for a moment and deftly stuffed the ball into Casemiro's crotch.

Casemiro subconsciously put his legs together, but failed to stop the crotch penetration.

Seeing that he succeeded, Neymar immediately dodged Srna's interference by turning sideways.

At the same time, he forced to overtake from the baseline!

"Neymar!! Here he comes! He passed two people at once and forced to overtake at the baseline. Can he pass the ball?"

Neymar was held by Srna, but Srna was half a body behind and it was difficult to interfere effectively.

Getting closer and closer to the ball!

Neymar pushed the ball with his arch!

"This ball has"

The commentator almost shouted, but the next second, a figure suddenly slid past from the front and intercepted the ball out of the baseline.

"Oh~~~~ God!! Suk!!"

The commentator suddenly exclaimed: "How could he appear here?"

Suk looked at the ball being shoveled out of the baseline, then stood up and patted his shorts.

But the white shorts were already stained with green, and it couldn't be wiped off, so he just ignored it.

"I told you to be careful!"

Suk said to Srna.

Srna grinned: "I really didn't expect that this guy actually planned to pass here."

Two people defending together!

Perhaps only players of Suker and Messi's level would do this, after all, they have enough confidence in their own skills and are not afraid of taking the blame.

In this regard, Suker rolled his eyes.

Srna underestimated Neymar a little.

He thought that he was just a rookie who had just entered the La Liga. Of course, he was also vigilant, but not to a certain extent.

Neymar was called the third man in the Messi and Ronaldo era in the original time and space. He was the player who had the most threat to impact the status of the two.

His ability can be seen!

And Srna didn't think about this at all, and almost got into trouble.

"Why did you retreat?"

Suker: "I saw Messi actively approaching the middle, and I had already returned to the half court. When the ball was passed to Neymar's side, I ran at full speed."

At this point, Suker turned his head and looked at Kroos, Kaka and Casemiro.

The three midfielders immediately turned their eyes away.

Suker had already retreated to make up for the defense, and they didn't arrive in time. Who knows who was embarrassed.

Suker patted the captain's armband on his arm: "I have this thing anyway, why don't I run more? Are you waiting for you to mess up my game as captain?"

Srna smiled awkwardly.

However, Suker's retreat and successful interception put a lot of pressure on the defense and midfield.

As the top star and core player of Real Madrid.

He was running back to defend, so how could they have the idea of ​​slacking off or being lazy.

Just fight!

"Hehe." Ancelotti couldn't help but smile, and he pointed to the court and said, "Don't you think it's a good thing for Suker to be the captain?"

Zidane also smiled and nodded; "Suker never puts pressure on people, but demonstrates it in person. Whenever he is the captain, he will show more active performance, whether it is offense or defense."

Ancelotti smiled; "But he should still attack, he is the most threatening in the frontcourt. Of course, I don't object to his active performance in the game."

Suker intercepted a fatal attack from Barcelona and also set an example for Real Madrid players.

I can retreat from the frontcourt, so you don't have to run more?

This is indeed the case. After this retreat, the morale and enthusiasm of Real Madrid players were greatly mobilized.

First, Varane headed the ball out in the header.

Facing the competition for the ball with Iniesta, Kroos did not flinch, and the two almost fought for the ball.

This also triggered a series of conflicts, and the gunpowder smell began to rise.

The stable rhythm of the game lasted only ten minutes, and the game was already very tense. Both sides were competing with each other, neither of them gave in. The rhythm of the game began to speed up, and the intensity of the game continued to rise.

There were more confrontations and fouls.

Bang!

Marcelo took off directly, and he was knocked out of the baseline by Alves.

"Good guy!"

Suk turned his head and saw this scene, and he was about to start rushing over.

The next second, there was a roar.

"Asshole!!"

Pepe ran at full speed towards Alves.

The ferocious look seemed to be about to peel Alves' skin.

Suk had no choice but to turn around and stop Pepe.

Sometimes it is quite helpless.

Being a captain means blocking people.

In Real Madrid, Suker had no chance to stand out, because he was calm enough, at least calmer than Pepe and Ramos.

Pepe is the type who does things without thinking!

Ramos is a little different. Before he didn't wear the captain's armband, he worked with Pepe.

Now he wears the captain's armband, he is a little more restrained, but it is easy for him to lead his teammates to fight.

So, Suker, who is a relatively calm person, has no chance to fight.

Either he is blocking people!

Or he is on the way to blocking people.
