Chapter 275: Imperial City Showdown, Blades and Shadows

This lob also showed his passing skills. Bai Ran used the arch of his foot to pass the ball with a very huge arc, easily passing over the head of the Barcelona defender, and the ball came to Morata's feet.

Shooting from this position can pose a huge threat. Morata kicked the ball with great force!

Goalkeeper Ter Stegen flew to save the ball again. Before that, Ter Stegen made a very beautiful three-point save, announcing to everyone in the world that Ter Stegen was in very good shape in this game.

And this shot was also saved by Ter Stegen, which was too thrilling!

Morata covered his face in annoyance. Real Madrid's offensive was unsuccessful again. The attack was basically completed. Bai Ran's assist was very sharp, but unfortunately it did not result in a goal in the end.

This ball did not go in, Morata had to write a review when he went back.

In recent days, although Morata has scored goals and assists in these games, and has integrated well in Real Madrid's training, his performance can hardly be said to be good.

It's just barely passing, and even a little disappointing.

After all, Morata was bought back from Juventus by Real Madrid at a cost of 30 million euros. Fans have very high expectations for him. He was used to replace the injured Benzema. Morata's performance and role on the field are less than half of the Frenchman's.

Benzema's advantage is that he plays an obvious role as a fulcrum, has a good vision and overall view, good footwork, can better support his teammates, and has a good sense of smell in front of the goal. It's just that his state has fluctuated greatly this season.

Compared with the early days, Benzema is now more decisive and efficient in handling the ball. Whether it is a mobile battle or a positional battle, Benzema is the promoter of the offense. He will always observe the running positions of his teammates. If Modric is compared to the midfield engine, then Benzema is the metronome in the frontcourt.

Compared with Higuain or Morata, Benzema is more accustomed to one-touch ball, and never drags down the offensive rhythm.

Benzema, who joined the Galaxy Battleship with Ronaldo in 2009, has already developed a high degree of tacit understanding with the president, which is also incomparable to Morata.

After sending away Kaka, Higuain, Di Maria and Ozil, only Benzema is left to assist Ronaldo as steadily as a rock. In addition to feeding the ball to Ronaldo, Benzema never takes credit. Once a teammate is in a better position than him, Benzema will definitely pass the ball selflessly.

It is probably difficult for us to find a player as selfless as Benzema. Benzema's assists are also very diverse: long passes over the top, through passes, and side passes.

On the other hand, Morata seems to rarely see the existence of his teammates. In the penalty area, as long as the ball comes to his feet and his position is suitable for shooting, he will choose to complete the shot without hesitation.

In Real Madrid's offensive system, Benzema made tactical sacrifices. It is very biased to measure him with the data of the center forward. In Lyon, Benzema was already the core shooter in the team in his early twenties, which is no different from Ronaldo's status in Real Madrid. At that time, Benzema could even score directly from a free kick. In today's Real Madrid, Benzema is willing to be a supporting role and does not steal the limelight at all.

If the Frenchman had not been ill at the time, why would Zidane have used Morata in this national derby!

Real Madrid would not have to rack their brains to find such a center forward in the transfer market.

This attack did not complete the goal, and Real Madrid got a corner kick opportunity.

The field was full of swords and swords, and both sides had constant opportunities. The scene was very lively and the fans were also enthusiastic.

The game soon came to the 30th minute, and Barcelona also launched a wave of counterattacks.

When Real Madrid's offensive line bombarded Barcelona's goal, there was finally a pass error. Vazquez on the wing tried to knock the ball across the middle, but was blocked by Busquets who had accurately predicted.

The ball was poked out, and Suarez in the frontcourt just got the ball. After holding the ball, Suarez turned around and looked at his teammates, and immediately found Messi who was raiding on the wing.

Messi dribbled the ball horizontally, using the swing of his center of gravity to easily get past Marcelo's defense. His body, one on the left and one on the right, changed direction twice in almost half a second, which put a lot of pressure on Marcelo.

This offensive and defensive combination has been frequently played in the national derby in recent years. Marcelo can defend Messi very rarely. A top-notch breakthrough expert and a full-back who is good at attacking, the story of these two people continued to play at the Bernabeu today.

After Messi's wonderful shaking action, although Marcelo was shaken away, he still persevered and quickly followed Messi's footsteps. Messi is Barcelona's top trump card, so he naturally needs to be taken care of by all Real Madrid players.

Ramos also came from the middle to assist in defense, and Casemiro was also marking on the wing. Messi dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and the frequency of dribbling the ball in small steps was very high. If he was not careful, he would be shaken off by Messi.

All the players on the defensive line were tense, and at this time, a figure running at high speed on the field was noticed by everyone.

What is that...?

The fans were also stunned, and even the opponent's head coach Enrique felt confused.

Who would run dozens of meters from the midfield to make up for the defense!

This defense is too active!

On this green field, a man in white ran dozens of meters from the midfield to his own backcourt. He was wearing a pure white jersey with the number 37, a familiar Asian face, and fine beads of sweat on his forehead. All the evidence showed that this was that man - Bai Ran!

Bai Ran was so fast that Messi had unexpected momentum coming to his side. Bai Ran flew to tackle the ball, and the two sides collided and fell!

The ball was destroyed and went out of the baseline. This was a good ball. Bai Ran used his body to block the attack launched by Messi.

The self-sacrificing collision also ushered in thunderous applause from Real Madrid fans. Messi was not unable to get rid of such a defense, but he was already familiar with the faces of the Real Madrid defenders. He didn't expect Bai Ran to come out halfway!

In the national derby every year, Messi had to face these old players of Real Madrid. Messi was very familiar with their defensive lineup.

Bai Ran was different. He just joined Real Madrid last year and was not well known to Messi. Messi couldn't think of an offensive midfielder who could run here to intercept his ball!

The players on Barcelona's offensive line were all dumbfounded. Messi was actually tackled?

Clean and neat, simple and rough.

There was no dragging of the feet, nor any suspicion of fouls. The referee also said that there was nothing wrong with the tackle, as the ball was touched first.

This defense also received applause from everyone. Real Madrid teammates also high-fived Bai Ran, helping Real Madrid's defense line to overcome this difficulty. Bai Ran is undoubtedly the number one hero.

In fact, Bai Ran's defensive attributes are not so strong, and he is not even ranked in the middle of the La Liga. Bai Ran took advantage of the opponent's players' assumptions, thinking that there were only a few defensive players in total, so he made some judgments.

At this time, Bai Ran unexpectedly sprinted to Messi's side at a very fast speed, then intercepted the ball and gave him a fatal blow.

This courage is not something everyone has.

If you can't intercept it, it will be a huge waste of physical energy in vain, and the gain will not outweigh the loss.

But Bai Ran dared to try!

Afterwards, the story of red, blue and white was still not over. In the 38th minute of the game, Real Madrid's offensive wave also hit.

Barcelona's positional attack in the frontcourt failed, and Casemiro's successful defense cut the ball off from the opponent's Suarez.

After the two men faced each other, Suarez was carried to the ground, and Casemiro stood firm with his excellent physical fitness.

After that, Casemiro's ball possession changed, and the ball fell into the hands of Real Madrid. With Bai Ran as the offensive hub, all Real Madrid players began to counterattack!

The counterattack horn was blown, and all Real Madrid players were running forward.

Casemiro also passed the ball to Bai Ran in the midfield, just as everyone wanted to see.

Behind Bai Ran was Rakitic's tight defense. At this time, Bai Ran stepped forward to meet the ball. When Rakitic put great pressure on Bai Ran, Bai Ran spread his legs and lightly let the ball pass in front of him.

While the Croatian was still confused, Bai Ran had already anticipated all the actions. After letting the ball pass, he ran in the opposite direction and easily left Rakitic behind.

Such a midfield handling and escape surprised everyone.

Bai Ran is so talented. He walks leisurely on the field, but he can always give the opponent the heaviest blow.

After the midfield defense line collapsed, the frontcourt immediately formed an even distribution of personnel.

On the offensive line, there were Vazquez, Morata in the middle, and Bale who took off on the right. Bai Ran pushed the ball forward, and Modric supported him.

Barcelona had just lost the ball and had not had time to return to defense, so the backcourt was extremely empty, with only defenders Pique, Umtiti and Digne defending behind.

At best, there was a line of defense Busquets in the midfield, but at this time Busquets was facing the cooperation of several people alone, and there was no possibility of intercepting the ball.

Bai Ran made a light pass and passed the ball to Bale's feet on the wing. The pass was very fast, in order to make this counterattack more sharp and not to drag the rhythm.

Barcelona was also actively returning to defense, and they would miss the opportunity if they were not careful.

After Bale got the ball, he broke through quickly. Alba was also very fast. Both of them were speed-type wingers. Now it was time to race!

The two of them were running at lightning speed. After Bale got the ball, he strode forward to the front court, and Alba chased him from behind.

This is speed and passion!

The audience on the sidelines also began to cheer enthusiastically. The simple speed competition between the two was too violent, full of gunpowder and passionate power!

Bale stepped on the throttle, and when Alba was about to catch up with him, he used his last strength to accelerate again and left Alba behind.

Coming to the periphery of the penalty area, Bale kicked the ball and passed it!

In the penalty area, Morata jumped high. How about the point of this ball!

The landing point was very accurate, and Morata was found. Morata headed the ball.

Ter Stegen once again became the goalkeeper and flew to save the ball, but the ball bounced into the penalty area, and now no one controlled the ball.

Bai Ran, who inserted from the back, kicked and shot again!

It can be seen that when Bai Ran received the ball, he was not actually in the penalty area, but near the top of the arc. Bai Ran suddenly had an idea, took a step forward, stepped on the white line of the penalty area, and kicked the ball!

The ball was like a heavy artillery shell, directly hitting the upper left corner of the goal. Ter Stegen could no longer defend against Bai Ran's attack this time, and the ball went in!

When the first half was almost over, Bai Ran finally helped Real Madrid score the first goal. Now Real Madrid and Barcelona tied 1-1!

The total score was 4-3.

Bai Ran's powerful shot finally broke Ter Stegen's defense.

This shot was so beautiful!

The cheers from the whole stadium were deafening. At the home court of the Bernabeu, the enthusiastic cheers and applause from the fans were the greatest encouragement and recognition for Bai Ran.

His teammates also ran to Bai Ran to celebrate with him.

Ter Stegen fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands, regretting that he had not saved the ball just now.

But the Barcelona players did not blame him. His performance today was the best. Ter Stegen deserves encouragement and praise.

A pure white wave like a tsunami swept over the Bernabeu. Real Madrid now has the lead again. Bai Ran's goal gave Real Madrid another reassurance.

There is not much time left for Barcelona now!

If they want to win, they need to score at least two more goals. This long-lasting battle has once again ushered in a reversal at this moment.

The shocking shot and the opponent's save were equally wonderful. The fans cheered and were extremely satisfied with this hearty classic battle.

Zidane on the sidelines also kept punching to celebrate. His beloved disciple's goal was very exciting. This shot caught Ter Stegen!

Originally, they thought that the opponent's red card suspension of Cillessen would greatly weaken the lineup, but they did not expect that Ter Stegen was stronger than Cillessen!

This once caused great trouble and suffering to Real Madrid. Under the bombardment, Barcelona's city was extremely stable. In the high-level defense of Ter Stegen, Real Madrid could not attack for a long time, but was scored by the opponent. This situation made them feel a little confused.

But at this moment, all doubts disappeared.

Bai Ran blasted the opponent's city, which boosted the morale of all Real Madrid players.

Even if the opponent's goalkeeper is in a state close to perfect, he will still be pierced by Bai Ran.

I admit that you are a goalkeeper, but we also have gods!

Bai Ran is a god-like existence of Real Madrid.

Bai Ran ran to the sidelines, slid down to celebrate passionately, and made a salute gesture with his hands. Such a handsome celebration was also recorded by the media. Bai Ran saved the team at a critical moment. This goal was perfect!

He was very smart on the court. He knew that he had the passive skill of the fox in the penalty area, and the success rate of shooting in the penalty area would be greatly increased. So when he could shoot at the first time, Bai Ran did not choose to rush to shoot.

After all, he was outside the penalty area when he first led the ball, and after two steps, Bai Ran stepped into the penalty area with his right foot, and then he kicked and shot.

And the result also made him feel satisfied, the ball went in!

After a round of celebration, the two sides returned to the court again, and the game continued.

This game was full of ups and downs, so good to watch!

Barcelona and Real Madrid tied 1-1 at the Bernabeu, and the suspense was once again pulled back. No one knows who the final winner is.

Today, Barcelona is also in very good shape. The cooperation of the South American trident in the front court is endless. Messi's personal performance is also amazing. The wonderful save of goalkeeper Teshi also makes everyone amazed.

The game continues to open, and Barcelona kicks off from the center circle.

In the positional battle, Barcelona obviously has an advantage. Facing the heavy pressing of Real Madrid, their players are not in a hurry and start the classic passing and controlling football in the midfield.

Messi's retreat makes Barcelona's midfield seem to have one more player, and these people's footwork is world-class, so Real Madrid's step-by-step pressing within a few minutes did not achieve the desired results.

Busquets passed the ball to Iniesta, and Iniesta used his heel to pass to Messi next to him. Messi dribbled forward to break through, and Casemiro was aggressive, and Messi also lightly passed the ball to Rakitic.

One kick, Rakitic passed it to Busquets, and then Iniesta, Neymar, Messi.

Tiki, Taka, Tiki, Taka.

They showed their passing and control to the fullest. In the midfield, they did not pass the ball aimlessly, nor did they control the ball for the sake of controlling the ball. They were indeed looking for flaws in the opponent's defense line while passing and getting rid of it.

And in the long-term passing and control, they were able to keep from being intercepted by the opponent. This is the most critical point and a symbol of Barcelona's dominance in European football.

In the 47th minute of the game, Barcelona's offensive swept in again.

This time it was Neymar's wing blitzkrieg launched on the left.

When Barcelona's passing and control almost made the fans a little sleepy, Iniesta made a subtle through pass and quickly passed through the gap between Carvajal and Varane.

And Neymar was also very smart, with agile running and superior sense of smell. He immediately seized this opportunity, took the ball from the gap, and advanced towards the goal of Real Madrid at high speed.

When Ramos came forward to make up for the defense, Neymar slowed down his attack speed. His dribbling skills were very agile and he would be passed if he was not careful.

Ramos didn't dare to make too big a move, after all, Neymar is a player who "falls" very easily, and this was inside the penalty area, and he would be awarded a penalty if he was not careful.

Neymar continued to dribble the ball and made a series of feints in front of Ramos. The Brazilian dribbled the ball very gorgeously, and every step was like dancing.

Ramos kept a close eye on Neymar's steps. Suddenly, Neymar started to accelerate and break through the outside line. Ramos used his upper limbs to block the ball and quickly followed with his feet, trying to block it out.

But at this moment, Neymar made a short pass to Messi who came to meet him!
