At present, Real Madrid and Barcelona are very well-coordinated. It is just like cutting melons and vegetables to mention other teams in the league.

This also leads to the two teams moving forward in parallel, making Atletico Madrid, which ranks third, have no sense of existence. The gap between the points of the two teams is too big. Even if Real Madrid and Barcelona are not good, it will not be Atletico Madrid's turn to squeeze into the top two, so Atletico Madrid has no desire.

In the King's Cup, they will play Barcelona again.

Now Real Madrid also hopes to hit Barcelona head-on in the King's Cup, so that Barcelona's recent good momentum will stop, and maybe they can also cause disputes in the league, which is very beneficial for Real Madrid to win the championship in all three lines.

Therefore, in the King's Cup, Zidane also arranged the strongest lineup.

Enrique next door is still the same, and he also arranged the strongest lineup of Barcelona.

However, there are reports that Xavi will leave Barcelona after this season. He also realized that he is old and can no longer help the team like he did in his peak.

Similarly, Iniesta's tactical position in Barcelona's midfield has also declined significantly.

Therefore, although MSN is in the limelight and has extremely strong firepower, Zidane is also very keenly aware that Barcelona's midfield can still give him some room for improvement.

Real Madrid's front line is strong now, but the midfield is even stronger.

Li Chu has emerged.

Modric is getting better and better, and Toni Kroos, a 2014 World Cup champion-level midfielder, is now getting more and more tacit with Li Chu and Modric.

It can be called the most powerful midfield configuration among all clubs in the world this season.

It is completely phenomenal, so from this perspective, Real Madrid's lineup seems to be stronger than Barcelona.

After all, Barcelona's defense line has been declining for a long time.

Now the midfield has also dropped a level, while Real Madrid's three lines are all world-class.

Currently in the Spanish La Liga, Cristiano Ronaldo ranks first in the scorer list with 29 goals, Messi with 27 goals, and Suarez with 24 goals. Behind them is Li Chu who scored 21 goals.

From this list, we can see how strong the firepower of Real Madrid and Barcelona is.

The two teams have taken 7 of the 10 positions in the scorer list.

Li Chu arrived at the stadium early as usual, signed a number of names for the fans outside, took a group photo, and then came to the locker room to change clothes and warm up.

At the tactical meeting yesterday, Zidane gave Li Chu a heavy task.

There is no doubt that Messi is also in his prime. His dribbling can be said to be the strongest player on the planet. Coupled with his height, his center of gravity is very low, and his pace is very fast. It is difficult for ordinary defensive players to keep up.

In terms of innate conditions, the most suitable midfielder who can defend Messi in Real Madrid is Modric. After all, the two are about the same height and can keep up with Messi's rhythm.

Li Chu is too tall, and the center of gravity is not as high as Messi.

Even if Li Chu has good defensive skills, it is not so easy to defend Messi, which is determined by his body shape.

However, head coach Zidane still gave this task to Li Chu.

It is not possible to defend Messi perfectly by one person, and everyone needs to work together.

In Zidane's view, Li Chu is the one who will perform miracles. He often has some unconventional actions, which will have miraculous effects when facing those star players. The first two confrontations also illustrate this problem.

Of course, it is not just this task, because the cooperation between the three players of MSN and the cross-position changes are very frequent, which makes the defensive players more difficult to defend.

This requires Li Chu to invest more energy in this aspect, after all, Real Madrid does not lack offensive firepower.

So in this sense, defending Messi is more important than Li Chu scoring goals.

Even though Li Chu is currently the top scorer in the strongest tournament of the King's Cup, he has scored more goals than Ronaldo and Messi, and is also the assist king of this tournament, one more than Messi.

That is for the benefit of the team. Li Chu can only put these offensive data aside for this game.

In fact, although Li Chu is now very strong, much stronger than the previous two encounters with Barcelona, ​​Li Chu dare not say that he can defend Messi 100%.

You have to know that Messi and otherThe biggest difference between the players is that most of the players who are skilled in dribbling are dribbling with their heads down, while players like Messi and Kaka dribbling is just a means, not their only skill. When they dribble, they always think about passing or shooting at the right time.

This makes it more difficult to defend them.

In comparison, Ronaldo is much simpler. Anyway, after getting the ball, he will shoot in most cases, even if the angle is very small, even if the distance is very far, it is a shot.

If he has to choose, he would rather choose to defend Ronaldo than Messi.

Don’t think that Messi is basically not very involved in defense. When he usually moves, he is walking slowly, but once he runs, it is difficult to stop him.

His laziness sometimes paralyzes the defensive players.

The players came to the stadium one after another to warm up. Generally speaking, the head coach will announce the starting list after the warm-up, but everyone can guess some gossip, especially at this moment.

Zidane will not easily take down the main players. Basically, everyone knows what kind of status he has today.

"Everyone should be very motivated today. I hope we can keep Barcelona scoreless today."

It was not the head coach who said this, but the goalkeeper Navas.

"Got it..."

"Don't stare at me. I also want to win the clean sheet award." Varane muttered.

Everyone laughed kindly at this.

James Rodriguez came over and whispered to Li Chu: "Although it feels a bit inappropriate to talk about this at this time, I just want to ask, it seems that you and your agent have some conflicts."

"You don't want to promote your agent, do you? I have already found one."

Li Chu knew that James Rodriguez's agent was the same as Ronaldo, Mendes. After all, before coming to Real Madrid, he also played in Portugal.
