Chapter 426 Is He Still Human?
On the evening of November 19th, almost 8:00.
Su Dong and Messi stood in the center circle ready to kick off.
Barcelona still used its iconic 4-3-3 formation, with Valdes as the goalkeeper, Van Bronckhorst, Marcos, Puyol and Oleguer in the back line, Marcos Senna in the midfield, Deco and Xavi in the middle, and Ronaldinho, Suarez and Messi forming the trident.
This is also Barcelona's best lineup at the moment.
Luxemburgo abandoned the four strong midfield combination at the beginning of the league and adopted a 4-2-3-1 formation.
The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Carlos, Helguera, Ramos and Salgado, Beckham and Pablo Garcia are the double defensive midfielders, Zidane, Raul and Robinho are in the front, and the single striker is Ronaldo.
It can be seen from the lineup that affected by the recent poor performance, Luxemburg still hopes to use defensive tactics at home and does not intend to compete with Barcelona for ball control.
In fact, even if Real Madrid really wants to snatch it, they may not be able to do so.
Tonight, 80,000 fans poured into the Bernabeu Stadium, all of them Real Madrid fans.
During the game, these 80,000 fans will become Real Madrid's strongest foreign aid.
Just now, a radical Real Madrid fan tried to rush into the stadium but was stopped by riot police on the sidelines.
If these radical fans rush into the stadium, it will inevitably have an impact on Barcelona.
This is the national derby! The most important match in La Liga! …………
…………
With the referee's whistle, Su Dong quickly kicked the ball to Messi.
Messi kicked the ball back directly and immediately formed a formation.
Real Madrid revealed their intentions from the very beginning.
Just 24 seconds into the game, when they first snatched the ball from Barcelona, they did not try to control the ball. Instead, Beckham made a long pass directly to the right side of the penalty area, trying to find Robinho.
Robinho quickly came back, but no matter how fast he was, he was not as fast as the attacking Valdes.
The Barcelona goalkeeper steadily picked the ball from mid-air and threw the ball to restart the attack.
Real Madrid played very aggressively and immediately organized another attack, but this time Marcos fouled when defending Ronaldo.
Salgado quickly sent a free kick to Robinho on the right. The Brazilian dribbled the ball and forced his way through Van Bronckhorst, but accidentally fell to the ground.
There were boos from the fans at the scene, obviously trying to put pressure on the referee to call a foul on the Dutch left-back.
But the referee was very observant and directly gave the ball to Barcelona.
From the fifth minute, Barcelona slowed down the pace of the game and tried to control the ball.
Deco, Xavi and Marcos Senna were all trying to keep the ball, patiently organizing and penetrating, taking turns to attack Real Madrid's defense.
In the ninth minute, Real Madrid midfielder Pablo Garcia made a malicious elbow move while competing for the ball with Deco, hitting Deco directly in the face, but the referee did not see it and let him escape.
The Uruguayan defensive midfielder has always played dirty. Last season, he was the player with the most cards in La Liga and was nicknamed the Butcher.
Barcelona patiently controlled the ball and organized the game, while Real Madrid placed the ball-grabbing area near the center line. Neither side planned any threatening attacks.
But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.
…………
…………
When the ball was transferred from the right to the left, Su Dong also slowly ran back to the center from the right.
Ronaldinho stopped the ball near the center line, close to the left sideline.
Real Madrid's right back Salgado and double defensive midfielder Beckham both ran towards him at the same time.
The three Barcelona players stretched the entire offensive formation wide open.
When Ronaldinho got the ball, Su Dong just ran to the center circle of Real Madrid's half, basically on the same level as Ronaldinho, but after he saw Beckham running over, Pablo Garcia was always following him.
Deco had already run to the center line, ready to move forward at any time to exploit the space between Beckham and Pablo Garcia, which also aroused the vigilance of the Uruguayan midfielder.
Ramos used to play as a right back, but after coming to Real Madrid he changed to play as a center back. After seeing Salgado coming for the ball, he immediately moved to the right, trying to keep a suitable distance from Salgado.
But the presence of Su Dong made Elguera dare not move easily.
As a result, the space between Real Madrid's two central defenders was revealed.
As soon as Su Dong ran to the bottom of the center circle, he shouted to Ronaldinho, quickly turned a right angle, and sprinted towards the gap between Ramos and Elguera at the fastest speed.
One of Barcelona's offensive tactics is to use Ronaldinho's possession of the ball to attract the defense's attention and then pass the ball into the open space.
Ronaldinho had already seen this gap, and either he would take advantage of it or Deco would come in and take advantage of it.
Now, he saw it.
The Brazilian pulled the ball sideways, and without waiting for Salgado and Beckham to get close, he made a lob pass with his right foot.
The ball quickly passed Real Madrid's defense and fell into the penalty area behind them.
Su Dong quickly inserted himself from between Ramos and Elguera, successfully got past the offside and rushed directly into Real Madrid's penalty area.
Ronaldinho's pass was extremely accurate. After Su Dong rushed forward, he raised his right foot high, took the ball down in mid-air, and stopped it with his left foot.
At this moment, there was a force of impact from behind.
It turned out that Ramos, who had the fastest reaction, returned to defense immediately. He was so fast that he caught up with Su Dong in an instant, bumped into him from behind, and tried to push him away.
Su Dong staggered for a moment, but quickly regained his footing.
He saw Casillas attacking from the corner of his eye, and he knew that if he stopped the ball and adjusted before shooting, the angle would be completely blocked by Casillas.
So, after he managed to steady himself, he planted his right foot and shot directly with his left foot.
No one knew how complicated the process was. All they saw was that after Su Dong took the ball off with his right foot, he used his solid and strong body to hold up Ramos behind him and shot with his left foot.
The ball flew out quickly from Su Dong's left foot, and Casillas fell to the ground sideways, but was a little too slow after all.
The ball passed directly from his left side and went straight into the goal behind him.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Su Dong scored a goal!"
"Just ten minutes into the game, Barcelona took the lead in breaking Real Madrid's goal!"
"This was a wonderful cooperation. The long-distance connection between Su Dong and Ronaldinho was very clever. We can see that Ronaldinho's long pass was very accurate, and Su Dong's stop was even more exquisite."
"We were just saying that no matter which team it is, facing Barcelona, the most fearful thing is that they don't have the ball and the opponent is slowly organizing, because as long as your defense reveals even the slightest flaw, Barcelona's offensive players may score."
"Sudon, Ronaldinho, and even Messi are all players with great personal abilities."
"One to zero, Real Madrid lost the ball after ten minutes of the game."
…
Ramos stood depressed in the penalty area, watching Su Dong accept congratulations from his teammates and slowly walk back to the center line.
The Real Madrid defender was in a state of confusion.
This was not the first time he had met Su Dong, but it was the first time he had directly collided with Su Dong like this.
He prides himself on his excellent physical fitness, and that's why Real Madrid chose him.
But just now, after he bumped into Su Dong, he found himself as if he had bumped into a mountain.
Is he still a human? His 1.95 meter body is already quite sturdy, but he is also so fast and so strong. Once he charges, he is even more terrifying than a mad bull in the Colosseum. Who can stop him?
…………
…………
After conceding a goal, Real Madrid launched a counterattack.
Zidane created a corner kick opportunity for Real Madrid on the left. After Beckham took the penalty, Valdes made a mistake in his attack and almost lost the ball. Fortunately, Puyol headed the ball away and it was not caught by Real Madrid.
But soon, Real Madrid created an opportunity on the right side of the penalty area. Robinho dribbled into the right side of the penalty area and shot high. Then Beckham created another opportunity and passed the ball straight to try to send the ball into the penalty area to find Robinho.
At the critical moment, Van Bronckhorst took the lead, fell to the ground and tackled, intercepting the ball.
Marcos quickly moved the ball to the right.
Oleguer passed to Marcos Senna and then to Xavi.
Xavi launched a counterattack and passed the ball to Messi on the right.
Messi dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area, but Carlos did not follow him but stood on the outside, which allowed Messi to dribble the ball straight to Elguera.
When Messi dribbled the ball to the outskirts of Real Madrid's penalty area, Elguera finally had no way to retreat and decisively rushed forward to steal the ball.
Messi made a nimble pass and dribbled past Elguera, then quickly passed the ball forward with his left foot behind Elguera.
On the right side of the penalty area, Su Dong used his body to suppress Ramos. After stopping the ball, he knocked the ball to the right with his left heel. He suddenly turned around and blocked Carlos who was rushing towards him with his shoulder. His body also happened to block Elguera who turned around to defend, and he shot directly with his right foot.
The ball went in almost a straight line, passed under Casillas and once again broke through Real Madrid's goal.
2-0! The entire Bernabéu Stadium was in dead silence! Ramos, Elguera, Carlos...
Three defensive players couldn't even trap Su Dong! Ramos was also stunned.
He could never have imagined that a 1.95-meter-tall strong man could move so quickly.
When Su Dong turned around, he blocked him immediately. Carlos also rushed over from the side. He originally thought that Su Dong had no angle left.
Unexpectedly, Su Dong was one step faster than them and shot directly.
Two to zero!
Just fifteen minutes into the game, Real Madrid had already conceded two goals! The entire Bernabeu was so quiet that there was even a faint sound of sobbing from the stands.
The Real Madrid players were also stunned.
How can we play this game after losing the ball at the beginning? Casillas didn't even have time to save the ball this time. He just watched Su Dong shoot and score, but he was powerless, which made him feel very annoyed and blamed himself.
But he couldn't blame the defensive player in front of him.
Three people guarding one, but they failed!
It's not that they didn't try their best, but that the opponent was too strong!
