Chapter 370
Barcelona is located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula and is the second largest city in Spain, second only to Madrid, the capital of Spain. It is the first city in the autonomous region of Catalonia.
Spain is now facing a huge problem, and this problem comes from Catalonia, because they want to separate from Spain and establish themselves as a country.
In Europe, politics and football are sometimes closely related. Just like when Lin Dong met his rivals in the same city in Rome before, the two teams involved political reasons, so Lazio and Rome will become the most popular derby in Italy.
In Spain, Real Madrid and Barcelona actually have the same background. Real Madrid is named as the Royal, and behind it is the Spanish royal orthodoxy, while behind Barcelona is the Catalan nation and its autonomous conquest. This is a war between nations.
The Nou Camp Stadium is now the stadium that can accommodate the most fans in Spain, surpassing the 8 people in Real Madrid's Bernabeu, and can accommodate 10 people.
Speaking of which, on the pitch, the two teams once faced each other. The Bernabéu was originally a stadium that could accommodate 12 people. At that time, Barcelona originally planned to build a stadium with a capacity of 15 people, but it was finally blocked by Conqueror.
Although it has not been realized, it has been completed now, and now it is not only the surpassing of the stadium, but also the performance of the team. Barcelona has been suppressing Real Madrid in recent years.
However, in terms of historical battle results, the two teams are on par, even Real Madrid is slightly ahead. In the past league, the two teams have played against each other 164 times, of which Real Madrid led 69 games with 31 wins, 64 draws and 5 losses.
However, in this game, Real Madrid's chances of winning will undoubtedly be greater, and this chance of winning is on the defense line. The successive injuries of Puyol and Pique have made their defense line precarious.
Judging from the current personnel on Barcelona's defense line, except for Mascherano, there is only Bartra who can't be reused.
The young central defender born in 1991 was mentioned to the first team by Guardiola in 2010, but until now, he has no chance to play, and naturally he will not grow much.
For young players, the game is the way to improve, but Batra has no chance at all in Barcelona, so it is conceivable that Batra can improve, and there are even great doubts about whether Batra will play in this game.
After all, this is the Spanish national derby, which can be said to be the most important test for Barcelona in the first half of the season. How dare Vilanova let Bartra play in this game?
Indeed, in this game, Vilanova would rather let the injured Adriano play central defender and cooperate with Mascherano than let Batra play.
When Mourinho got the starting list for Barcelona's game, he felt that the game was stable, because Barcelona's central defender combination in this game can definitely be called the shortest central defender combination in La Liga.
Adriano and Mascherano, one with a height of 172 and the other with a height of 174, and with their small bodies, how could it be possible to withstand the impact of Lin Dong.
Compared with Barcelona's shortage of major generals, Real Madrid does not have such a problem. Mourinho and Ramos have already shaken hands and made peace, and the conflict with Ronaldo has also been eliminated by Florentino.
As for the tactics, they have been preparing for this game these days. For this reason, Real Madrid also conducted a closed training session, which made Real Madrid fans very dissatisfied.
Of course, this kind of game does not need Mourinho's motivation or anything. Real Madrid is very clear about the game against Barcelona or Atletico Madrid.
"In this game, I don't accept any other results except victory." In the dressing room of the visiting team at Camp Nou, Mourinho said after looking around with a stern face.
Real Madrid lineup:
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas
Defenders: Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe, Arbeloa
Midfielders: Khedira, Alonso, Ozil
Forwards: Di Maria, Lin Dong, Ronaldo
The pure main force of this season, with Lin Dong's compromise, Benzema and Higuain can only sit on the bench, especially Higuain, Benzema may still rotate frequently, Higuain really has no chance to start now.
Barcelona lineup:
Goalkeeper: Valdes
Defenders: Alba, Adriano, Mascherano, Alves
Midfielders: Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta
Forwards: Messi, Pedro, Fabregas
Without a forward lineup, Messi and Pedro are not pure centers, Fabregas is a midfielder, the old Villa does not trust Vilanova, and Sanchez is also sitting on the bench.
Before the start of the game, there was an episode, but this episode made Mourinho furious. In the player channel, Casillas actually embraced several members of the Spanish national team in Barcelona.
In fact, such a situation is not uncommon in the player channel. Although some players are opponents on the court, they are friends off the court, not to mention they are teammates of the national team.
In general, hugging is nothing, not to mention that Casillas has been working hard to make the players of Barcelona and Real Madrid live in harmony.
However, Mourinho is now sitting on the coaching bench of Real Madrid. The madman will never allow his players to be so close to their opponents. You know, the reason why he came to Real Madrid is to beat Barcelona.
However, Mourinho is also very clear that the current Real Madrid is still inseparable from Iker Casillas. The substitute goalkeeper Adan is not enough to support Real Madrid's goal. Mourinho can only bear the fire now.
When the players from both sides walked out of the stadium, the boos and cheers of the Nou Camp reached their peak. How could the poor Real Madrid fans roar over the [-] Barcelona army at the Nou Camp.
For this revenge, Real Madrid fans can only hope that the team can work harder on the court, otherwise, they can only wait until they return to the Bernabéu in the second half of the season to repay it.
Mourinho and Vilanova shook hands for the third time this season, and during the handshake between Mourinho and Vilanova, the court has already kicked off the battle of the century with the whistle of referee Carlos Ferreira.
Barcelona held the ball, and soon, the ball came to Xavi's feet. The Spanish midfielder was not in a hurry to attack. Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas, the three formed a triangle and began to fall.
The three-man Barcelona formation is 433, but when the game started, Barcelona's lineup was more like 41122, Busquets was at the end, Xavi was in the middle, and in front of Xavi were Iniesta and Fabregas.
But soon, Real Madrid discovered that there was another change in Barcelona's lineup, and that was the position of Busquets. Although he appeared in the position of the midfielder, in fact, this guy played as a central defender.
