Today's update!
-----
Barcelona's players only looked dignified in the face of this goal concede, including the young manager Guardiola on the sidelines. They did not panic because Real Madrid broke the goal first.
Guardiola made a few gestures. Outsiders certainly had no way of knowing what he was saying to the Barcelona players.
But the young manager obviously had his own thoughts and ideas.
The Barcelona players calmly faced the current situation.
Xavi secretly gritted his teeth. He knew that he had just been schemed against by Real Madrid without warning!
It could be said that Real Madrid's defense executed a perfect tactic to encircle and suppress him.
He raised his head and said in his heart, There won't be a next time!
Barcelona restarted the ball.
Real Madrid finally seized a golden opportunity and performed a premeditated defense to perfection, but there should not be a next time.
As the "brain," Xavi would not make the same mistake twice. He was already alert in his heart. Moreover, it was not impossible for Barcelona to break Real Madrid's defense. They could hand over the organization's power to Iniesta, and they definitely had such a tacit understanding.
Quickly waving the shadow of the goal concede from their minds, Barcelona still focused on the offense.
For them, there may not be much difference between before and after the goal concede.
Anyway, they were attacking Real Madrid's half of the field. It was not to say that they had to burn their boats, but they had to be more proactive in attacking and creating threatening balls.
Despite Real Madrid's goal, the situation of Real Madrid's defensive system had also been penetrated by Barcelona.
In the 37th minute of the game, Barcelona once again tore apart Real Madrid's defense in the middle of the penalty area after more than twenty passes.
Messi cut inside to the middle with Qin Xiong waiting for his impact.
Iniesta passed the ball from the left position to Messi's running position on the line.
When Messi cut inside, Qin Xiong was ready to have a one-on-one duel with Messi.
However, when Messi touched the ball, he directly used his left foot to pass the ball to the left side of the penalty area!
The football flew past the right side of Qin Xiong's head. He saw Messi's indifferent look. He made it look like he was taking a stroll in the park when he delivered the threatening ball.
Qin Xiong turned his head to look and saw that Pedro had quickly cut inside to the side of the restricted area. He was already quite a distance away from Salgado!
Salgado had the habit of pressing forward when Iniesta was in possession of the ball. He was ready to support Gago, who might be crushed one-on-one in the defense. That made it exceptionally easy for Pedro to cut inside from an offside position.
The veteran Salgado's speed was obviously not as fast as Ramos on the other side. This was where Barcelona's real killing intent lay!
After Pedro cut inside, he received Messi's pass. He used his chest to offload the ball. Metzelder's turn was slow and his speed was not fast enough. After Pedro cut inside from the side, he directly formed a one-on-one attack!
After the football fell, Pedro looked at Casillas, who had abandoned the goal. He used his right foot to push the ball to the far corner of the goal!
It was obviously too late for Casillas to make a save when he saw the trajectory of the football rolling towards the goal!
The football went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
The young player, Pedro, shone brilliantly at Camp Nou!
The Barcelona players smiled excitedly and chased after Pedro's running figure to the sidelines to celebrate!
Camp Nou erupted into a tsunami of cheers!
"Barcelona equalized the score! Pedro's goal! An assist from Messi!
Barcelona finally tore apart Real Madrid's defensive line. It looked like a matter of course. They patiently probed and explored the flaws in Real Madrid's defensive line and finally found a gap in Salgado and Metzelder's defense. Messi's pass was full of imagination and Pedro's cooperation with him was seamless!
A beautiful goal, a Barcelona style goal! "
Guardiola clenched his fists and waved his hands up and down in front of him after seeing Pedro's goal. Bosque's face was dark and he was not optimistic about the next game.
Had the defensive line finally reached its limit of resistance?
Even Bosque had to admit that Barcelona had sublimated the shape and control of the game to an unprecedented level!
Almost all the top technical teams would pay attention to the shape and control of the game.
The English Premier League's Arsenal, Italy's top teams used defense to shape and control the game, and last season's Real Madrid and so on.
Naturally, everyone would tear apart the opponent's defensive line by constantly passing the ball to carry out probing attacks to intimidate the opponent, forcing the opponent's defensive line to retreat and not daring to invest more players in the attack in order to make their rear defensive line safer.
However, it was rare to see Barcelona taking the trouble to pass the ball quickly and quickly.
At the same time, Barcelona's statistics of ball possession became particularly prominent.
In the past, not many people cared about ball possession, but when Barcelona frequently played around 70% ball possession, the data began to attract the attention of the outside world.
In other words, Barcelona had at least twice as much ball possession time as their opponents when they had possession of the ball. Then, Barcelona would be in the lead in the chances created, the number of shots, the number of goals scored, and the physical exhaustion of the opponent!
Although it was not conclusive that Barcelona would win, the huge advantage was enough for them to win most games.
After Real Madrid lost the ball, the flaw in the rear defensive line had to be addressed.
The players had a discussion in the penalty area and the final plan they came up with was to condense more in the penalty area!
No one could make Metzelder turn faster, Salgado run faster, Gago's defensive ability soared instantly, and Guti could intercept overbearingly. All these could not be done!
So, they could only use the most primitive method.
Compress the space in the danger zone.
At the very least, they could not let Barcelona play unscrupulously. If they wanted to do long shots, then the pressure would be on Casillas.
After the game resumed, Barcelona intended to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack, or to use the continuous rapid short passes to find gaps to pose a threat.
But they saw Real Madrid's movement drop because most of the defenders stayed in the danger zone in front of the goal. If Barcelona did not play a penetrating attack, they did not need to run to take the initiative to intercept the opponent.
On the field, it looked like Barcelona completely dominated the situation.
Even if Real Madrid successfully defended, it was difficult to advance forward to attack. They were compressed deep in the backfield and too far away from the opponent's goal. If they ran forward, they would fall into the opponent's counterattack circle.
The first half of the game ended with Real Madrid enduring the opponent's bombardment of long shots.
Xavi's long shot was received by Casillas. The referee did not wait for Casillas to kick the ball out of the goal before blowing the whistle at the end of the first half.
