The situation of the match suddenly changed.

Camp Nou, the Barcelona fans were immersed in a sea of joy, with many even leaning out and loudly mocking Mourinho.

Even some of the Real Madrid fans who initially supported Mourinho’s adjustments began to complain, and these voices grew louder and more numerous.

"Chen is playing pretty well."

"Why make a sudden adjustment?"

"Can Khedira really watch Messi?"

"He doesn’t have that ability!"

"Besides Chen, who else can restrain Messi?"

The two major unsolvable puzzles of the world’s top league, La Liga, Chen Zhong and Messi, no one can withstand Chen Zhong’s impact, and no one can defend against Messi’s dribbling.

Real Madrid fans initially understood Mourinho’s idea, which was not content with just securing a draw at Camp Nou, wanting Chen Zhong to use his strong body up front, crashing into Barcelona’s defense to secure a victory for Real Madrid.

At the same time, letting Khedira and several others constrain Messi.

As long as Real Madrid can restrain Messi, or hold him back, allowing Chen Zhong to shine and then score, then the initiative would be in Real Madrid’s hands.

But Mourinho’s tactical change was a blunder.

It’s not about moving Chen Zhong forward, but about putting Cristiano Ronaldo in the center, closer to the goal, moving Kaka to the left, and sending Di Maria to the right.

Marcelo and Cristiano Ronaldo have chemistry, but with Kaka, although they’ve practiced together in training, in such a national derby against Barcelona, their familiarity and chemistry are obviously not enough.

Secondly, there’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s physique.

This Portuguese star is transforming into a terminator; on the wings, he has a physical advantage against those full-backs, but as a center forward, he’s a bit lacking.

Real Madrid’s two goals conceded during this time saw a Portuguese taking some responsibility, though in a broader sense, Mourinho bears the main responsibility.

After conceding two goals, all the pressure fell on Mourinho, as everyone wanted to know if this Portuguese manager would make adjustments.

But Mourinho, with his hands in his pockets, stood at the edge of the coaching area, looking serious, saying nothing.

Just watching Chen Zhong, as if expecting something.

"Real Madrid’s attack."

"Alonso has the ball in the center."

"He controlled it for a bit."

"Passed it to Chen Zhong in the middle."

"Chen Zhong received the ball with his back to the goal."

"Turned around."

After Alonso took the ball, he lofted it towards the middle, where Chen Zhong leaned against Busquets and completed a chest trap.

He then shielded the ball and forcefully turned, his eyes locked on Cristiano Ronaldo.

Before Chen Zhong finished his chest trap, the Portuguese had already started moving, and at the moment of Chen Zhong’s turn, he timed it just right before Cristiano Ronaldo went offside, and slotted the ball through.

Pique leaned close to his friend, attempting a physical challenge.

But Cristiano Ronaldo had no intention of stopping the ball.

Friend, have you seen my heavy cannon shot?

"A through ball."

"Looking for C. Ronaldo!"

"Successful counter-offside."

"Taking the shot!"

"Heavy cannon shot!"

Cristiano Ronaldo shot directly, without stopping the ball, with a powerful strike.

The ball made a muffled sound as it soared, flying towards Barcelona’s goal at great speed.

In front of the goal, Valdes quickly adjusted his position, extending his hands in front, and made a perfect save move, the ball made close contact with his palms before bouncing off.

Both sets of fans in the stands craned their necks, while Valdes looked at the direction of the bouncing ball in horror.

A muffled sound was heard, the ball hit the post, then bounced out.

Real Madrid fans in the stands sighed in disappointment, while Barcelona fans breathed a sigh of relief. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"A very decisive powerful shot."

"After the goalkeeper lost it, the ball hit the post and bounced out."

"What a pity."

Cristiano Ronaldo flashed his big white teeth, looking very regretful at the failure of this attack, while Pique looked at the Portuguese with a slight sense of nostalgia in his eyes.

Back when both played for Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo scored many long-distance powerful shots!

The match continued, with Barcelona finding it hard to get through Real Madrid’s midfield.

The 4-4-2 formation is a long-standing classic lineup in football tactics.

This formation has excellent defensive capabilities, with two central midfielders forming a barrier that effectively restricts the opponent’s progress through the center, reducing the defensive burden at the back, and the wingers quickly retreat in defense, blocking the opponent’s passing lanes and breakthrough space.

Moreover, the short distance between players helps quickly form small-area double-teaming and interception, maintaining the compactness and integrity of the formation.

In the 65th minute of the match, the most threatening shot from Barcelona during this period turned out to be a long-range lob from Busquets in desperation.

The ball did not test the goalkeeper at all.
