Chapter 135 Commander to Commander
"After the game begins, Real Madrid's offense is obviously more threatening!"
After Kaka's long shots came out, the commentators sighed.
"Everyone may think that Barcelona's strength in this game is higher than Real Madrid, but after watching the game for a few minutes, I believe many people will change their ideas."
"Real Madrid showed their strong attack power after the start of the game. I think this answered a question in many people's minds - why can they beat Barcelona at home and away in the national derby in the two-legged La Liga! Yes, they have such strength, they can do it!"
"Chu Zhongtian's heels are so wonderful! He deceived Busquez and Mascherano. Although Barcelona tried every means to curb Chu Zhongtian's performance before the game, looking at the reality, it is obvious that they did not do it!" He Ping was very excited. He saw Chu Zhongtian's performance at such a high level at the beginning of the game, which made him feel relieved. Chu Zhongtian was in good condition today, and it seemed that he could look forward to Chu Zhongtian defending the Champions League championship... Guardiola stood on the sidelines, his face a little unfair.
At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid's offense was a first-class player. Now all the momentum was snatched away by Real Madrid. Barcelona is like a weak man with no fighting back... Even when he lost to Hoffenheim in the final last year, Barcelona had never encountered such a scene. Barcelona had the upper hand in that game in that game, and it seemed that they could win, as long as they wanted. Losing to Hoffenheim in the end can be considered as bad luck.
But the game was at a disadvantage at the beginning, and I'm afraid it can't be simply explained as a "luck problem".
What he is worried about is not the problem of luck or not, what he is worried about is that the players will be affected by the start. If the start goes well, Real Madrid will have a strong morale, and Barcelona will inevitably be sluggish. If this situation is not reversed, Barcelona's morale will be depressed. In such a game, facing opponents of Real Madrid of level, low morale may lead to abnormal defeat.
This situation must be reversed.
But the game has just begun and he cannot make adjustments. It is impossible to replace people now, right?
He had no other way except to yell on the sidelines. At this time, he could only count on the players' performance.
Chu Zhongtian, here in Real Madrid, showed his passing skills and a clear grasp of the offensive context.
There are also good players who are deeply aware of this. Before Chu Zhongtian became famous in his battle, there was only one of the best midfielders in the world football players, that is Barcelona's Xavi.
He is a well-deserved midfielder, but in Barcelona, Messi is too dazzling, everyone ignored him. It was not until the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when Spain won the cup that the whole world realized the status and ability of this midfielder.
But when Chu Zhongtian defeated Barcelona in the Champions League final last year, such a voice began to slowly appear - "Xavi is old, and world football needs fresh blood, Chu is the best candidate to replace him. Look at his outstanding performance in the Champions League final, the midfield command is determined, assisting his teammates to score, and he can rush up to score in a critical moment. And what he is better than Xavi is that his defensive ability is very good. See how he defends Messi?"
It is precisely because of such a voice that there were rumors that Barcelona planned to buy Chu Zhongtian, who defeated them in the Champions League final, to strengthen their midfield strength and prepare a successor for Xavi. However, they obviously did not understand Chu Zhongtian's character enough - he is not the kind of person who is willing to go to a team to be the successor of whom.
If you want to go, you will be a core, an assistant, and a successor? He doesn't have that free time. He is already twenty-seven or eight years old and his career has entered a golden period, but he has to be a successor. It's a waste of time and life.
Guardiola shouted Xavi's name on the sidelines. Barcelona needs to boost morale and need to restore control in the midfield. Judging from the few minutes of the game, the initiative of the midfield has fallen into the hands of Real Madrid because of Chu Zhongtian's activity.
※※Xavi heard Guardiola call his name, but he didn't need a head coach to remind him. He knew what to do. As a superstar who has won all the honors a professional player can get, Xavi is also competitive, otherwise he would not have won so many championships and served as the core of such a championship team.
Chu Zhongtian showed his passing skills and ability to organize offense in front of him, so he had to respond a little to avoid being looked down upon.
Kaka's shot came out and it was Barcelona's turn to attack.
Valdes did not directly drive to the frontcourt with a big foot, but chose to use a short pass to overdo. He first passed the football to central defender Pique, and then Pique passed the football to Busques who was retreating and receiving.
In this process, Buzquez's role is clearly reflected - as a midfielder, he not only needs to defend, but also needs to actively respond to the backcourt passes and connect the midfield. This is his work he has been doing in Barcelona. It looks inconspicuous and does not seem to have any technical content, but it is actually very important. Many teams find it difficult to hit the opponent's frontcourt when starting from the backcourt, and can only turn their feet aimlessly in the backcourt, because their midfielder doesn't know or are not good at doing this kind of work, forcing the defender to only drive forward with big feet. What accuracy can that kind of ball have?
The existence of Buzquez is the source of Barcelona's offense so smoothly.
But Buzks only provides the first step, and the real core thing depends on the next receiver.
Buzkes turned around and led the football forward. The front midfielder Ozil, who started in this game, stepped forward to block it, but his defense was not worth mentioning at all. Buzkes did not feel the pressure. He shook Ozil away and sent the football out.
The person who received the ball was the retreating response.
From now on, Barcelona's offense has officially entered the opponent's half, and it has gradually entered a dangerous process.
Xavi took the ball and turned forward. Facing Khdira's defense, he chose to cooperate with Iniesta.
After using the wall-to-strike cooperation to shake off Khedira, he faced Chu Zhongtian's defense again.
This time Xavi did not pass the ball directly, or tried to pass one with Iniesta again. There was already Khdira next to Iniesta, so it was not easy to do two with one.
He passed the football horizontally to the right side of his body, and Busques rushed up.
Chu Zhongtian let go of Harvey a little and got stuck between him and Botsques. This way he could defend both Botsques and Harvey. No matter who had any abnormal movement, he could transfer it immediately.
Seeing that Chu Zhongtian's defensive position selection was very good, Buzks did not immediately play the ball, but controlled the football and waited for his teammates to cooperate.
Anyway, Chu Zhongtian and Khedira were both restrained, so they did not dare to act rashly.
At this time, Messi ran over from the side to pick up Buskes. Buskes passed the football to Messi.
As soon as Messi got the ball, cheers like tsunamis sounded in the stands. Everyone knows that Barcelona's king has got the ball, and he will definitely give everyone a wonderful performance, such as five people hitting the ball into the goal... Chu Zhongtian moved horizontally and blocked Messi again.
"After him!!" The shouts of Barcelona fans came from the stands.
In the Nou league, Messi broke through Chu Zhongtian no matter how he broke through. This time, he had to pass him no matter what, to increase his morale!
Messi seemed to hear the shouts of the fans, and started suddenly, rushing towards Chu Zhongtian with the football.
Chu Zhongtian is ready for battle.
When he was about to approach Chu Zhongtian, he suddenly passed the football under his feet! Then he flew past Chu Zhongtian... Chu Zhongtian was shocked and did not go to save Busquez who was getting the ball, but took a step back to follow Messi.
When Buzquez saw him retreating, he did not pass the football to Messi, but instead gave the football to Xavi.
Now there was only Khedira in front of them. Chu Zhongtian went to follow Messi and could no longer threaten them immediately. And if Chu Zhongtian wanted to pounce on him again, the gap behind him could be used.
So Buzks actually really hoped that Chu Zhongtian would be furious and pounce again after discovering that he was fooled... But Chu Zhongtian's reaction was very clever. He looked at Xavi and was taking the ball, and decided to continue with Messi, without rushing to Xavi. He now pounced on him and didn't have time to stop the opponent's next move, but he would let Messi go, and it was a waste of time.
He just needs to follow Messi, the most dangerous person, and ignore Xavi's actions. As for the others, he will leave them to his teammates to deal with. He is not the only one in Real Madrid.
Xavi was indeed planning to pass the ball to Messi while Chu Zhongtian rushed over, so the situation opened. Messi, who lost Chu Zhongtian's suppression, was like a fish in the water, facing Real Madrid's central defender directly, and he could almost shoot and score.
But Chu Zhongtian did not act according to the script he had planned, so he had to temporarily change his strategy. He turned around and rushed up with the football.
Since Chu Zhongtian strictly guards Messi, he will narrow the distance with Messi, so that Chu Zhongtian cannot defend himself. If Messi cannot defend himself, he will not defend himself and Messi cannot defend himself.
Chu Zhongtian followed Messi, and at the same time he was not forgetting to pay attention to Xavi at any time. Seeing Xavi dribbling the ball forward, he shouted: "Sami!"
Khdira immediately threw Iniesta and rushed up.
His forward pounce resulted in no one in the sight of Iniesta. Xavi changed his attention again and decided to pass it to Iniesta. However, Iniesta's current position is not very good, and it cannot form an effective threat even if it passes over.
The tacit understanding of playing football together for a long time prevents Xavi from calling Iniesta's name or reminding him, and he also knows what to do.
Seeing Xavi hesitating a little when he got the ball, and seeing Chu Zhongtian still following Messi, Iniesta knew it was time for him to come forward!
Who said that to save the morale of the team, Messi must be?
He suddenly changed direction and interpolated from the outside!
Casillas showed off all this clearly afterwards, and he immediately shouted, "Be careful of Iniesta..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Harvey suddenly lifting his foot on the spot!
The football passed over Khedira's head and flew directly to the penalty area behind him.
If this ball passes through Real Madrid's central defender, Real Madrid's goal will be in danger. Iniesta will receive the ball without defense and then calmly kick the ball. At that time, even if Casillas is possessed by Chu Zhongtian, it will probably be over.
At this critical moment, Pepe suddenly jumped high from the crowd and then headed the ball!
Because it was too high to directly push the football out, he just rubbed the ball, but that was enough. After the football was rubbed, it changed its existing route and did not fall to the area where Iniesta was located, but flew directly out of the bottom line!
"Corner! This is the first corner kick in this game!"
"It's so dangerous! Xavi's pass almost fell to Iniesta's feet. If Iniesta receives the ball, Real Madrid's goal will be in danger..."
"Chu just showed his heel passing skills, and Harvey immediately returned a wonderful pass from the ball to the top! The attacks of both sides were only a little short of it. It seems that both Harvey and Chu are in good shape. Some of them are watching this game!"
The commentators were applauding Harvey.
"It's obvious that after Chu showed his methods, Xavi helped Barcelona win back 10%. As a mortal enemy, their competition is not limited to goals. Every beautiful pass, wonderful outs and shots, and even a fierce but precise defense are the places where they compete with each other! These two evenly matched teams are really the thing that we fans are most looking forward to!"
Xavi had some regrets that Pepe had ruined his pass.
Although there were huge cheers from Barcelona fans in the stands, as if he had helped Barcelona save face and morale. But he knew that compared to Chu, he was a little worse this time. At least Chu Zhongtian's pass finally formed a shot, and what about his own? It turned into a corner kick... Other players in Barcelona do not have the complicated thoughts of Xavi. They just think that it is good to get a corner kick, and a set piece is also a weapon to open up the situation.
Harvey shook his head and ran to the corner flag area. He needed him to take the penalty for the corner kick.
※※※Xavi's corner kick did not really pose any threat. Sergio Ramos directly pushed the ball out.
Barcelona really doesn't take any advantage in the top ball.
Among their defenders, Pique is the only high point. Although Buzques is tall, he is not good at heading. As for Villa, Messi and others, let alone... Real Madrid have headers like Pepe, Ramos, Carvalho and Chu Zhongtian, and Ronaldo's heading is also excellent.
Barcelona is not as good as Real Madrid in this regard.
The corner kick poses no threat, and Barcelona will look for other ways to score goals.
The same is true for Real Madrid. Kaka just wasted a very good goal opportunity, but Real Madrid will not be affected by anything. The game continues, and Chu Zhongtian also launched an offensive with constant energy.
This time he and Xavi did not directly have one-on-one, but the competition between the two midfield masters has begun. Xavi represents the most outstanding midfield conductor among the current players in the world football world, while Chu Zhongtian is about to take his position. He is working hard to challenge Xavi's authoritative position. This game seems to be a watershed.
Chu Zhongtian is used to this, and he is always in the position of a challenger. At Wimbledon, they went to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea, at Metz, they challenged Ligue 1 overlord Lyon, at Hoffenheim, they first challenged Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich, and then challenged Barcelona in the Champions League final. Now that he comes to Real Madrid, he is still challenging, challenging Barcelona's dominance in La Liga and even European football.
He had this feeling that today was the last final. If this game was won, even if he had a successful challenge, if he failed... the challenge failed.
Xavi is in very good shape, which makes him very happy because duels with masters is the main motivation and reason for his transfers again and again. Beating such an opponent in the Champions League final is better than defeating an opponent with incomplete conditions, incomplete state and no power to fight back, right?
※※※Xavi felt that Chu Zhongtian today, or Chu Zhongtian this season, had a big change with their first meeting in the Champions League final. When they met in the Champions League final, Chu Zhongtian was still a little immature. He could feel that at least when he started facing Messi, he worked very hard, but was still suppressed.
However, his performance is indeed getting better and the change is very fast. His performance from the beginning to the end of the game is completely different. He was very awkward at the beginning, but in the end he was already shining... But overall, Chu Zhongtian was still improving in that game. Today... it seems that he has entered his maturity period, and his every move is very handsome.
Chu Zhongtian is even more terrifying than a year ago.
but!
As a Barcelona player, he has the confidence to defeat all opponents that block their championship. This is the best Barcelona team in history. How could he lose to the final of the Champions League final for two consecutive years?
Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance will at most make Barcelona more convincing in this game, making their fifth Champions League trophy in the history of the club more valuable!
