A little analysis
Although the appeal of the national derby to fans has declined after the loss of C Romesi's two superstars, this game can be said to be a way to make the national derby attract a lot of attention again. Although Real Madrid are heavy players, the top striker is also La Liga goalscorer Wang Benzema, who was unable to play due to a thigh strain against Mallorca in La Liga on March 15, and the left side defensive gate Ferran Mendy was also injured due to left adductor problems. Most people are still optimistic about the home team when the pre-match forecast is that the important reason for this view is that Barca have just traveled to Turkey, playing against Europa League opponent Galatasaray at the home of the European Devils, and coming back to face the old rival Real Madrid. Dream three core midfielder, the current Barca coach of the meritorious player Xavi this season to use the young player to present a different Barca to the fans, the young player can play can fight is a fact, but in the face of the ceremony midfielder still dare not say that he can compete. And in the past 6 games between the two sides, Real Madrid has shown a crushing trend with an impressive result of 5 wins and 1 draw. Everyone believes that Real Madrid is also rightful.
But in addition to the above reasons, there are also many details suggesting that this will be a vicious battle for Real Madrid, although looking at the data, Benzema is not there, and Vinicius, who is second in the top scorer list, also has the ability to take on the girder, but do not forget that many of Vinicius' goals are related to Benzema's containment and strategy in the No. 9 position, without Benzema, Real Madrid can be said to have lost half of its offensive ability in the frontcourt. Secondly, the combination of Militan and Alaba has not shown much tacit understanding, this game because of the aerial defense of Alaba and Militan, resulting in two headers of the opponent in the first half, and it happens that both are in the middle of the opponent to score, the two need to be more run-in. Xavi's inauguration was thought to be a helpless move for management to replace Koeman, the former also had only two and a half years of Qatari league coaching experience, but before this game, he had led Barca to 10 unbeaten games in all competitions, and the youth storm that blew up made countless opponents afraid. In the face of old opponents, Real Madrid can not be taken lightly.
But the most important responsibility for the big score defeat is still in the old coach Ancelotti, although the experience of the old coach in Real Madrid is more successful, and the results after taking office are enough to make people satisfied, but the old coach's employment is rigid, and the on-site scheduling ability is not strong and many people criticize. In the absence of two big players, Ancelotti seems to have a more reasonable lineup in this game, but if you look closely, you will find that the loopholes are very large.
Without the support of the No. 9 position, it is difficult for the two fast horses in the front court to break through the defense alone, and the front court cannot hold the ball. Although The backcourt Nacho is said to be a golden oil, but the one-on-one ability is not strong, and dembele on the left side of the field is also unsurprisingly exploded. And neither centre-back is a traditional heavy defender and lacks tacit understanding, and is very tired in the face of frequent crosses from the side.
In times of crisis, the boss launched a 3-4-3 squad. It seems that the squad has become more capable of moving forward, but the problem of lack of offensive strength in the front field is still unsolvable, and the loss of a defender is even more powerless when facing several barca fast gunners. The backline was frequently pierced in the second half, which was also the price that An Shuai paid for changing the lineup.
summary
At present, the Real Madrid squad is relatively single, after losing the main force, there is no suitable substitute to play a role, can only change the field to seek a breakthrough, and eventually it is inevitable to lose miserably. When Real Madrid sat waiting for Mbappe, Barca was ashamed and brave, and introduced many good players in the winter window, and the two explosive points in the front of this game were the arrival of the winter window. However, Real Madrid still did not move, trying to make a move, eating all over the sky, and appeared very weak after the main force was injured. Hopefully, after the arrival of Summer Window Mbappe, Real Madrid can introduce some quality players to increase the depth of the bench.
Rebuilding after losing a superstar is painful and long, with Barca already seeing the future, while Real Madrid have yet to find a quality replacement for the ceremonial midfield. The task of revival is arduous and the road is long.
