, the king of world football
On the afternoon of April 16, Madrid, which is usually quite lively, became even more noisy. The streets were crowded with pedestrians and vehicles. The road leading to the northeast of the city was completely blocked, from the Bernabéu Stadium to the Sorolla Museum. .
Countless anxious car owners kept honking their horns, but the traffic flow did not move a bit. This practice also made the passers-by quite contemptuous and disdainful.
As a 20-year-old fan of Real Madrid, De Santis took his two children to the Bernabeu to watch the Derby of the Century. As he walked, he said to his youngest son: "Sonny, let me just say you can't drive. I see these stupid people Young people may not be able to go to the stadium after the game is over."
The youngest son rolled his eyes: "You're right, but why do we have to go out so early? If we take the subway to the stadium, it will take more than an hour, and the game will start at night."
DeSantis replied: "There are also many fools who have the same idea as you. As a result, the subway in the evening can't be crowded, and it is easy to break down and stop. I suffered a loss a few years ago and couldn't catch up with the game. The value is good. Thousands of euros worth of tickets just went to waste.”
"There's nothing wrong with going early. We'll go to the shops around the club near the stadium later." Sonny couldn't help being speechless. He still had too little experience in the century derby, and he was far less experienced than his father.
"In fact, although the national derby was popular in the past, it has not reached this level." DeSantis said with emotion: "It was the arrival of the king that made the Madrid fans completely crazy. Coupled with Barcelona's outstanding performance in recent years, the two goals The team confrontation is currently one of the highest-level matchups in world football, and everyone is looking forward to it."
"A strong team and a strong player always need a background to set off. Let's go and witness this strongest Barcelona becoming the best background for the Real Madrid dynasty!"
There are still many smart fans like De Santis, and they are rushing to the stadium ahead of schedule, while players from Real Madrid and Barcelona have come to the Bernabeu to start the final adaptive training.
The starting lists of both sides are also freshly released. Real Madrid's Benitez has come up with his best 423 formation, goalkeeper Iker Casillas.
The back four are Pepe, Ramos, Ashley Cole and Marcelo.
The double defensive midfielders are Khedira and Diarra, and the three forwards are Sneijder, Di Maria and Wang Feng.
The single striker is Yin Guayin.
Candidates for the midfielder position of the Galaxy Battleship have not been satisfactory. It stands to reason that Gago is the orthodox choice, but the Argentine's performance is really eye-catching, so Benitez can only put him on the bench.

After the Champions League match with Tottenham, the club executives found that Modric was very capable, so they planned to join the competition against the Croatian this summer.
As for Di Maria to replace Robben in such an important game, this is also the result of Benitez's deliberation. After all, the Argentine winger's wonderful performance is obvious to all, while the Dutchman has suffered from injuries many times. It's a ticking time bomb.
On the Barcelona side, Guardiola's unmovable four-three-three formation is not unexpected, goalkeeper Valdes.

Defender Alves, Mascherano, Pique, Abidal.
Midfielders Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta.
Forwards Villa, Messi, Pedro.
This is the strongest lineup they can come up with. The old captain Puyol can only sit on the bench because of his age and his decline.
.........
The two teams know the characteristics and strength of each other's players, and the outside world continues to exaggerate the importance of this game. Therefore, after the kick-off, the two sides played very cautiously, testing each other and waiting for the other to show flaws.
Barcelona controlled the main possession of the ball, while Real Madrid kept a compact formation to prevent the opponent from easily breaking into the dangerous area of the penalty area, so the visiting team could only chamfer repeatedly on the periphery.
It wasn't until the 10th minute that the first shot of the game was produced. Iniesta made a diagonal pass to find Messi who retreated to catch the ball. He then swayed flexibly to get rid of the defense and turned to kick a long shot.
They launched another attack 5 minutes later, Xavi picked up a pass to find Messi, he stretched out his legs and tapped the ball in the air to avoid Diarra's press, then waded into the penalty area and sent a lob shot without waiting for other defensive players to make up. , but was picked off by Casillas, who was very focused.
Although he didn't concede the ball, Messi's breakthrough still caused the fans of the home team in the stands to exclaim. Sonny, who was on the north side, said angrily: "Damn it, why are they surrounded by Barcelona? Their possession rate is almost reaching 80%, let’s fight back, hurry up and fight!”
Although DeSantis was also shocked into a cold sweat, he still tried to calm down and comfort his son: "You still have too little experience, so don't make such a fuss."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his eyes staring straight, and suddenly jumped up from his seat. He no longer had the calm expression before, waving his hands while jumping, and kept shouting: "Vamos!"
His youngest son also had no time to mock the father who "made a fuss" at this time, but fell into the carnival like the surrounding crowd, because Real Madrid scored the first goal!
Casillas blocked Messi's shot and quickly threw it to Khedira. The German midfielder passed it to Di Maria. The Chinese superstar originally assisted in the defense near his own penalty area, and when he sprinted all the way to meet him, his speed had already increased, so he dribbled the ball and rushed forward to quickly counterattack.
He first made a high-speed change of direction to shake off Busquets, then passed the ball and then accelerated to pass Alves, and quickly advanced along the sidewalk to the penalty area.
At this time, Real Madrid's other offensive forces were not yet in place, so Javier Mascherano in the middle quickly approached to block, with Alves chasing after him, Wang Feng had to make a decision immediately.
The Chinese superstar pushed horizontally with the inside of his right foot without any haste, and the ball just passed between Mascherano's legs. Turning his body around, he could only watch helplessly as Wang Feng cut inside and entered the penalty area.
The subsequent goals came naturally. Faced with Valdez's attack and Pique's sliding tackle, Wang Feng aimed at the far end and calmly kicked a fallen leaf lob shot. The ball flew into the air and flew over the two men. When it fell, it rubbed against the beam and the column The corner drilled into the net.

"...Everything happened too fast! One second, Barcelona was attacking and threatening Real Madrid's goal. The next second, the offensive and defensive momentum changed. Wang Feng's speed was beyond the reach of Yin Guayin, who also participated in the attack. He Haven't run to the restricted area yet."
"I believe that many fans have not figured out how he passed Mascherano. Let's look at the slow-motion replay. Oh, it turned out to be through the crotch."
"This is a bit horrible. The Argentine defender is extremely clumsy under the sharp speed of the Chinese superstar. His turn is as slow as an aircraft carrier."
