Chapter 729： The biggest failure

Although before the game, a lot of media were interested in hyping Real Madrid ’s goalkeeper, all of them were rendering the contradiction between Yang Cheng and Casillas, especially Casillas ’game against A Coruna. Both the League and Mallorca cups sat on the bench, which was interpreted by the media as Yang Cheng's warning to Casillas.

"Be careful about your main position, Captain!"

There was even a newspaper that simply matched a photo of Yang Cheng in command training, accompanied by such a narration, and next to it was a picture of Casillas who was very wronged, which really caused a lot of controversy.

After all, put the main goalkeeper and captain of the Spanish national team on the bench and instead appoint an infamous Anthony. ． ． Adan, this is indeed very unacceptable.

But in Real Madrid's away game to challenge Numancia, Real Madrid's starting lineup once again appeared Casillas' name. He still qualified for the starter on behalf of Real Madrid. At the same time, he also wore Real Madrid's captain armband to participate in the pre-match. Guess the side.

For the unknown city of Soria, the arrival of Real Madrid is undoubtedly a festive festival in this small city. The capacity is less than ten thousand. The Pamanitos Stadium, Numancia ’s home, is full, but it is obvious that more Fans do not come to see the home team, but to Real Madrid.

Goalkeeper Casillas, from left to right Marcelo, Tiago Silva, Ramos and Maicon, double backs are Xavi Alonso and Della Red, the avant-garde Ronaldinho, Kaka and David Silva, the single forward is Villa.

This star-studded starting lineup has caused a huge response at Numancia's home court.

Yes, they admire Real Madrid's star but the slogan they shouted is, "Kill them, Numancia!"

"It's like killing Barcelona, ​​killing Real Madrid !!"

Obviously, the first round of the league's upset home defeat of Barcelona 1: 0, so that Numancia fans hope to see another upset because everyone has a Robin Hood complex that robs the rich and the poor, of course, They all hope to rob Real Madrid and rescue Numancia.

And the home team was also very polite. At the beginning of the game, they launched a fierce fight against Real Madrid, just as they did when they restrained Barcelona, ​​and Numancia ’s home conditions are really bad, plus the home team ’s Crazy forcing Real Madrid to start seems a bit passive.

The first goal shot appeared in the 5th minute. Numancia counterattacked after a goal was intercepted from the left and hung the ball into the penalty area from the left. Casillas abandoned the goal and grabbed the opponent's striker. Take the ball off the air.

"Go up, let me press it up!" Casillas began to become more proactive in reversing the habit of keeping her head closed.

All the players pressed forward, Casillas also used a big foot to transfer the ball to Numancia's half, and since then Numancia rarely threatened Real Madrid's goal, but Casillas But it is not that there is no chance to play.

He stands at the last level of the defense. From a certain perspective, he is the team with the broadest vision, so he can always clearly see where the opponent's ball comes from and who is preparing at which loophole. Correspondence, and then through the command teammates, to fill these gaps, to block the other party's offense.

"Sergio, kill him at 2 o'clock!"

"Marcelo, Maicon went up, come back a little bit!"

"Tiago, good job, beautiful defense!"

In addition to commanding and encouraging and affirming his teammates, he was also very excited when the team scored a goal, and almost took Tiago and Silva together to celebrate in the big penalty area.

So that after this Real Madrid 4-0 victory over Numancia, Casillas got a high score inconsistent with his performance when scoring Real Madrid players.

"From a previous point of view, a goalkeeper gets a high score, which often represents a downturn in the back line. It shows the team's defensive system from the side, but in this game, it is back to the main position. Casillas has proved with fact that a goalkeeper can do more than just play in front of the goal. "

"From the goalkeeper's point of view, his performance is limited by the team's overall strength and perfect control of the situation, but as a captain and a player, his contribution has earned him a high score, undisputed! "

After the game, Yang Cheng also raved about Casillas' performance. He believed that after adjustment, Casillas re-staged the return of the king, he also believed that San Cassie's performance would become better and better. .

However, Yang Cheng also considered one thing, that the better Casillas performed, the less chance of representing Anthony Adan, which is definitely not much benefit for a young goalkeeper.

Has a headache. If Antonio and Adan are sent away, Real Madrid's backup goalkeeper is a big problem. But if he is not allowed to go, he can't get enough training for the game.

All along, Real Madrid has taken great care of the same city team Getafe, Getafe is also known as the Real Madrid second team, because many of this Getafe ’s chairman and management are Real Madrid ’s diehard members, and they With good relations with Real Madrid, the baby who can always dig into the youth training camp is known as the Real Madrid Youth Training Factory.

Now as Abundan Sheri's old age, Getafe's main goalkeeper position has ushered in a blank period, and sees that Antonio Adan has performed very well recently and is very interested in introducing this goalkeeper, but Yang Cheng Decided to temporarily press down and wait until the end of the season to make a decision.

Sometimes, finding substitutes is more of a headache than finding the main force, because if the introduced players are not strong enough to bring enough competitive pressure to Casillas, it will not have much effect at all, but if the strength is too strong, what about people Will Real Madrid sit on the bench and play for Casillas?

After all, it is a very tangled problem! On February 4, Real Madrid ushered in the first leg of the semi-finals of Seville's King's Cup.

The consecutive one-week double match made Real Madrid feel the pressure immediately, plus the injuries of four players such as Mascherano and Granero, all brought Real Madrid a certain impact, and finally in Bernabeu, the team 2: 1 defeated visiting Seville.

Antonio and Adan, who have performed well in consecutive games before, have finally inevitably broken the goal in this game, but his recent excellent performance has already impressed the fans, and Yang Cheng will also be impressed. In the future, give him more opportunities to help him exercise and improve.

Back in the league, Real Madrid ushered in Santander at home. In the face of this team's defensive counterattack team next to Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid finally lost points. 1: 1, Real Madrid tied Sang at home. Athletics tand.

This team brought a lot of trouble to Barcelona in the last round. If it was not a lucky goal at the last crucial moment, Barcelona would be difficult to retreat from the road. Now they continue to maintain the tenacity and tactics of the North team. When Real Madrid was physically and mentally fatigued, it did play a very good effect.

A draw, the lead back to 2 points, Real Madrid is still the leader of the league.

Yang Cheng has been mentally prepared for this situation. From the winter break to the present, a series of one-week double matches. The King Cup schedule makes it difficult for Real Madrid to physically compete with Santander. It is not easy to support it now. Too.

The media in Catalonia have started a new round of hype, thinking that Barcelona has the opportunity to reverse Real Madrid and encourage Barcelona to continue to inspire, but for these reports, Yang Cheng is not interested, he is more concerned about himself Can a team adjust their physical fitness and condition.

After a week's rest, Real Madrid visited Gijon's Grand Mill Stadium. With the goals of Aguero, Ronaldinho, Marcelo, Kaka and Ramos, they won 5: 0 on the road. And these five goals are from Ming players, which is quite amazing, and also proves that the previous media promotion and hype has no impact on Real Madrid.

On the contrary, it was Barcelona. In the game that challenged Real Betis, Guardiola made a lot of rotations. Messi, Henry and other players were sitting on the bench. Keita, Hleb, Caceres and others all started, but they ended up behind 0: 2 in the first half.

Messi and Bojan played at the crucial moment, helping Barcelona to pull two goals in a row, and finally scored a precious 1 point at 2: 2 away.

If it was Real Madrid who made the mistake in the last round, and Barcelona survived the intensive schedule after the winter break, and successfully shortened the gap with Real Madrid, then in the past round, Barcelona ’s own mistakes will once again be their own against Real Madrid. The gap widened to 4 points.

The current La Liga and Barcelona are both unique, with a very large lead, and the number of goals of these two teams is constantly improving, there are many big score wins, so the outside world generally believes that can shake the basis of Real Madrid's championship There is only Barcelona.

Real Madrid this season has maintained an impressive 23 rounds of unbeaten record in La Liga. If there is not a Barcelona to follow behind, according to the usual environment, it has already led by a large score, and it may even be announced that it won the championship in advance. Now Barcelona is chasing so tightly, the gap between the two teams is brilliant, and the outcome is unpredictable.

But it is foreseeable that whoever wins the championship is destined to become the most tragic runner-up in La Liga history!

Lang 22, Real Madrid ushered in the Royal Betis team at home.

After a week of rest, and in order to better prepare for the Champions League against Lyon in the middle of the week, Real Madrid played a crazy round of attack in the first half, almost putting Royal Betis to nowhere.

Opened only 4 minutes and minutes, David Silva got rid of the defensive player after receiving the ball at the front of the penalty area, straight into the penalty area, Villa caught up and helped Real Madrid open the record.

But just less than 10 minutes later, Real Betis, who began to pay attention to defense, was once again broken by Real Madrid. This time it was Ronaldinho ’s cooperation with Kaka after a breakthrough on the right. The Brazilian gave a good pass to Ronaldinho. Completed a very exciting field goal and changed the score to 2: 0 for Real Madrid!

In the 19th minute, Ronaldinho crossed the penalty area and received a pass from Villa to help Real Madrid expand the score again.

Watching Real Madrid go crazy, Real Betis is also polite, and directly pressed out to play, Oliveira scored 1 goal for Real Betis in the 31st minute, 3: 1.

But just less than 4 minutes later, Real Madrid in the 35th and 41th minutes respectively, Kaka scored two goals, rewriting the score to 5: 1, and in the last half of the first half, Real Madrid was again by Tia Go Silva made a long pass in the backcourt and found David Villa. The Spanish striker scored the ball and entered the penalty area. After getting out of the goalkeeper, he pushed the empty goal and succeeded 6: 1!

Scored 6 goals in the first half, Real Madrid's powerful attacking power was amazing, and Yang Cheng did not have the slightest courtesy. At the end of the break, he replaced three players in a row at a stretch to stay in the middle of the Champions League game.

Real Betis, who had been maimed by Real Madrid, completely lost his fighting spirit and desire to counterattack. In the end, he could only accept the result of the 6: 1 defeat, and left the Bernabeu stadium in a huff.

In another game completed at the same time as Real Madrid, Barcelona lost to their Spanish rivals Spaniard 1-2 at home. Barcelona's old veteran Della Pena defeated Barcelona completely with two goals in this game. And Yaya, who came off the bench, Touré scored a goal for Barcelona to regain the face at the last moment.

As a result, Real Madrid ’s lead over Barcelona was extended to 7 points, which immediately angered all Barcelona fans, thinking that Guardiola ’s coming to power and the team ’s heavy recruitment have not brought substantial substance to Barcelona. Changes, on the contrary, the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid is still so obvious.

"Where did Ibrahimovic, which we introduced heavily, went when the team needed him most?"

"Why did players such as Hleb, Caceres, Keita, etc. perform so well on other teams, but when they came to Barcelona, ​​they suddenly seemed to be completely unable to play football?"

"This is not just a problem for players and coaches. The problem of Barcelona is already this team. From top to bottom, we must find the root of the problem and solve it. Otherwise, we do n’t May reverse Real Madrid! "

On the second day after losing the derby, the Barcelona Mouthpiece World Sports News published an opinion poll on the satisfaction of several big operations fans in Barcelona last summer. The attitude of Barcelona fans is love and hate.

They do not like Mourinho, this is indisputable, but the problem is, Guardiola is too ridiculous!

This can be seen from the second option.

After Eto'o left the Premier League, his goals in Manchester City climbed up and down, and his performance was getting better and better. However, Ibrahimovic received more and more criticism and controversy in Barcelona. 90% of Barcelona fans believe that Letting go of Eto'o is the ignorant and short-sighted operation of the Barcelona management.

"We gave the best shooter to others, but left the worst!"

If, on the question of Eto'o, Barcelona fans point directly at La Porta and do not hold Guardiola accountable, then for Ibrahimovic, 90% of Barcelona fans believe that Ibrahimovic is the largest in Barcelona's history The failure is the biggest parallel in the history of Barcelona.

Among them, in the opinion polls, I do not want to continue to see the Swedes' options next season, even as high as 70%.

"We have Messi, Henry, Boyang, we don't need Ibrahimovic!"

This almost represents the voice of Barcelona fans, and also makes Ibrahimovic's situation in Barcelona getting worse and worse.

Top annual salary, top transfer fee, top treatment, but can not bring top football, this is the embarrassment of Ibrahimovic.

Among Barcelona fans, it is generally attributed to Ibrahimovic due to Guardiola's inexperience, thinking that Guardiola is too blind and confident, causing him to let go of Eto'o, which was more in line with the club's tactics, and introduced An Ibrahimovic who can't adapt to Barcelona's tactics at all, the gap between them is not just Ibrah's amazing sky-high price.

"At the beginning of the season, many people said that Ibrahimovic should be trusted, because Zidane's transition from Juventus to Real Madrid also experienced an adaptation period of about half a year, so Ibrahimovic should be given more time, but now half a year It ’s been more than half a season, but we still do n’t see any signs of Ibrahimovic ’s integration into the Barcelona tactical system. ”

"In contrast to Real Madrid, we can see that each of their transfers has a very high tactical intention in it. Whether it is Kaka or Ronaldinho, the superstars they introduced are able to give the team a local position and In terms of overall strength, players who bring huge improvements will greatly improve the overall strength of the team. "

"Look at Real Madrid, then Barcelona. We have come to the time when we have to make corrections. We have to improve the status quo. We have to find our problems. Otherwise, if we continue to do so, we still cannot. After catching up with Real Madrid, we can always only run behind Real Madrid! "

There is no doubt that whenever Barcelona has problems, Russell will stand up.

The manager who brought Barcelona Ronaldinho, Eto'o and other superstars to Barcelona at this time, undoubtedly caters to the desire of all Barcelona fans. They hope that someone can lead Barcelona, ​​both in the superstar market. Some gains in the past, and some gains in the field of football, it is best like Ronaldinho, Eto'o during the dream of the second team.

Russell also severely reprimanded Laporta ’s strategy of holding the club, believing that he was kidnapped by Cruyff and chose an inexperienced head coach like Guardiola to control Barcelona. “This is Barcelona ’s history. One of the most stupid decisions! "

Facing the forced palace from his opponent and the protest from the Barcelona fans, La Porta chose to stand up. He said he would never quit his job because it was a coward ’s behavior. He would work out in the shortest possible time. A team's reform plan will start next season and continue to strengthen the team's combat effectiveness.

"I don't think we have lost this season, our league is only 7 points behind, there is still a chance, and we still have the Champions League to compete, we have not yet given up early."

However, in an interview with the media, Chelsea coach Mourinho said indifferently, "Starting today, Stamford Bridge will become Barcelona's nightmare!"
