Before the match, the pressure was more on Real coach Zinedine Zidane. It was a league defeat against a team like Cadiz's in the previous week, a 3-2 defeat in the Champions League to Shakhtar Donetsk, which was plagued by Corona, whether he was irritated or not; Tensions have risen over Zidane's job, at least in the Spanish media. Meanwhile, despite losing to Barcelona in the league last week, Barcelona showed their strength against Ferrentvaros in the Champions League just before the Clasico. With the message, they are well prepared to deal with Ramos-Benzema at home. But Zidane does not know how to lose on the field of eternal rivals!
Zidane had previously led the team five times to Camp Nou. Besides winning two matches, he drew the remaining three matches. This match also did not break the trend of being undefeated. After losing 3-1 to Messi, Real informed that they are not ready to give up in the fight to defend the league title.
Zidane did not bring any change in their schedule. Remaining faithful to the 4-3-3 table. The question was, who is the ideal rightback to play next to the Ramos-Varans in this table? With Carvajal-Odriosola injured, Zidane relied on Nacho Fernandez. On the left, Marcelo's defense has not been doing well for the past few months, and the matter has not escaped Zidane's notice. As a result, he relied on his compatriot Farlan Mendi, who is in good form to replace the experienced left-back in the match. What a wonderful way to screw people over. Under the watchful eye of Mendi-Vinicius, the right side of Bar -a remained inactive, while the 18-year-old Pedri remained boxed. With Ramos next to him, Varane himself has regained his former form, albeit slightly. However, it is true that the overall defense was very strong, it is not the case. Barcelona have been able to find gaps in the opponent's defense several times. However, without conceding a goal, Barca have been able to take advantage of the weakness of Real-defense.
On the other hand, Barca was taking 4-4-2 form with the ball
Real won the match mainly in midfield battle. There were three in Real's midfield in the 4-3-3 table. Luca Madrich is getting old even though he sometimes looks like a magician with his ball legs. He did not run the whole field as before. As a result, Uruguayan midfielder Federico Valvarde, who was full of vitality, was replaced by Madrich. Zidane had previously played Valvarde in place of Madrich in the Clasico, and also got the benefits hand in hand. This time too he was no exception. In conjunction with Cruz, Valvarde took control of the midfield in the hands of Real. Casimiro was there to keep them at bay.
Messi played hard, did not gain
Barca doesn't just press as much, a little bit of what went into the press, with a combination of fast passes, he was able to break the press effortlessly in Real's midfield. Meanwhile, in front of the effective midfield of Cruz-Valvarde-Casimiro, Barca midfielders Busquets and De Young did not get a chance to do much. In particular, Busquets' game has shown with his finger in the eye that he has reached the evening of his career. Coach Coman should think a few times to give Busquets a place in the first XI against any small team, let alone a Clasico.
Barca's table was not in question, it cannot be said. But there were surprises. If he is not played in such an important match by buying players for 120 million Euros, then it must be called a surprise. Yes, coach Coman did not play French forward Atoyan Griezmann yesterday. He was replaced by a 16-year-old young Pedri. That Pedri was bottled up all the time.
Longley digested the penalty by throwing Ramos in this way
Barca went down 4-2-3-1. However, after the start of the game on the field, it was understood that the table was changing to 4-4-2 with the ball. Fati as the striker above all, Lionel Messi as the assistant striker just below him. Pedri (right) and Coutinho (left) on either side of two central midfielders Busquets-de Young. If you think about the tendency of Fatir to score goals like a clever striker in the D-box or the tendency of Messi to go down often, the strategy is a lot like this: Bar—a will get the benefit if the players do their duty properly or not. And that's where Barca fell behind. Busquets did not perform as expected. The situation with De Young next door is more or less the same. Despite being one of the two midfielders in Central Midfield for so long and playing quite well in the 4-2-3-1 table, this big match against Real showed the weakness of De Young. He explained that he would do well to play as a defensive midfielder alone, not with anyone, especially with Busquets!
Madrich made a fool of Neto on the way to score the last goal
Cruz-Valvarde and Casimiro took full advantage of the poor performance of these two in midfield. Meanwhile, with the ball going 4-4-2, Coutinho's role has shifted from a central attacking midfielder to a left midfielder or winger, where he is not comfortable playing. This is the reason why this Brazilian star could not show such a glimpse in this match as well. However, for those who play well, this slight change in the table, Fati has identified his own species. The young star has bad luck, his teammates could not pay the price for his good play. Thinking that Coman could slap his forehead too, if the Busquets-Pickers could give a performance like the successful implementation of his plan!
One thing became clear after watching the previous matches under Koman, this Dutch coach wants to reduce the pressure on Messi. As a result, there have been relatively few attacks this season from areas where Messi roams the field. On the contrary, left-arm left-hander Fati, attacking midfielder Coutinho and left-back Alba Rasayan were giving hope to Barাa fans. Taking advantage of the positional error of the Asensio-Nachos on the right, Alba proudly climbed to the top, from where he passed to Fatih. Earlier, Valverde's goal gave Real the lead in the 5th minute. The scoreline is 1-1 in eight minutes. Barca is often inactive when it comes to sharpening the left side. Griezmann was not comfortable playing in that place, and Pedri could not take advantage of him tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Real's attack did not play well for the whole ninety minutes, but those who got a chance or two, took advantage. Think of Valvarde's goal in five minutes. With that goal Real went ahead in the first match. Benzema has come down in spontaneous spontaneity, attracted to PKK, to move out of his own place. Valvarde rushed to the place left by the pick. As Valvarde went to the back of the peak, he saw Benzema's pass at the ready feet, like a delicious meal on a plate. Busy, 1-0 Real ahead!
However, apart from Ansu Fatir's performance from the match, it cannot be said that there is nothing that the Barcelona fans can be optimistic about. This is the first time since joining Ajax from Bara that American defender Serhino Dest has been able to play in his preferred position - right back. Bajimat came. If you can improve the way you play, Bar have a worthy successor to Dani Alves. Messi, who has been fluctuating for ninety minutes like a constant right-back, has come down a lot of the time with confidence, not standing up, trying to build the game. Tried to help Busquets-de Young, who repeatedly lost possession of midfield in the violence of the Casimiro-Valvarde-Cruz trio.
Last but not least, the Ramos Impact. He was not on the field in the second half against Cadiz, nor was he in the whole match against Shakhtar. As a result, Real also ate Khabi. In the return match of the inspiring captain, every player of Real seemed to increase the mercury of their performance a little.
Real left the field with a 3-1 victory from New Camp. And Zidane remained unbeaten on the field of eternal rivals.
Thanks everyone.
i don't think Barcelona will be able to achieve any more message success because they have lost a lot of players
