23:00 October 25, Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Conquer Bernabeu!

October 25, 2014 08:42

Real Madrid are being hailed by the world for their formidable attacking power. Meanwhile, Barca are quieter. But the Catalan team is like a giant on the defensive, preparing for a devastating attack on an enemy who is immersed in the euphoria of victory…

There is no argument,Real Madrid are at the peak of their powers.. The White Vultures have just had a terrible acceleration when they won all 8 recent matches, especially scoring 35 goals, an average of 4.4 goals/match.

In other words, Real is wearing a shirt that is shining with glory. The image of the White Vulture is even more overwhelming, when their biggest superstar is still shining brightly. Since recovering from his knee injury in early September, CR7 has been playing like a god, scoring in all 9 matches since then for Real, a total of 17 goals.

But take note,Real's recent 8-game winning streakis not really as spectacular as it looks. Among the recent victims of the White Vultures, there is no opponent at the level of a conqueror like Barca. They are either familiar prey of Real in La Liga or dwarfs in the European playground. The best of these is just the "beggar of the past" Liverpool.

Therefore, those easy victories may just be a shiny cover for Real. They seem to be making coach Ancelotti and his team misunderstand their true strength and fall asleep in the intoxication of victory.

Messi is expected to punish Real's loose defense that is resting on its laurels.

It is easy to see that Real's style of play is still quite fragile and unbalanced. They can crush small prey because their attack is too strong, because of the excellence of a divine Ronaldo (CR7 scored more than half of Real's goals in the last 8 wins) and because the defense is not under too much pressure. Remember, Real have been severely criticized for their loose defense, poor long-range interception ability, and terrible skills against high balls. That is the reason they fell to Atletico in both the Spanish Super Cup and La Liga.

These ills may have been temporarily eased under Real's recent glittering facade. But there is no guarantee that they will not recur in big matches, especially tonight's El Clasico. In fact, Real have made a major overhaul of their playing style after a series of poor matches at the beginning of the season, but only aimed at the attack. Coach Ancelotti himself admitted that the gamble of going all-in on the attack helped Real overcome the crisis at the beginning of the season. But in reality, they have not changed anything in their defense.

Real's weakness is in defense.

Real still uses the "better at attacking than defending" wing-back pair Carvajal - Marcelo. Meanwhile, in the midfield, Real's ability to defend from a distance is still almost zero (due to the lack of any real defensive midfielders).

Compared to Real, Barca has been somewhat lackluster recently. But they are like the image of a hidden “killer”, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake to launch a killing blow. In fact, Barca is playing very stable and balanced.They have the number one defense in Europe, having not conceded a goal after the first 8 rounds of La Liga.Of course, it cannot be forgotten that Barca has only lost points in one round this season, thereby firmly holding the top position in La Liga, 4 points more than Real.

Barca lost 2-3 to PSG in the Champions League earlier this month. But for many, this defeat was beneficial for coach Luis Enrique and his team, giving them more motivation to strive and recognize weaknesses to overcome. That is something Real did not have.

In addition to a solid defense, Barca also has a very diverse attack, not just relying on Messi like before. Messi being pulled down to play as an attacking midfielder has reactivated Neymar's scoring ability. As for Leo, although he doesn't score as many goals as before, he is still too scary.

Despite Luis Suarez, Messi and Neymar are still the main strikers.

Of course, it is impossible not to mention that tonight Luis Suarez will officially debut for Barca after 4 months of suspension. If these three super killers can combine together, how can Real's loose defense, which is sleeping in the drunkenness of victory, resist?
