In a sense, the national derby is the most appropriate description of Real Madrid and Barcelona competition. As long as they have the upper hand in the two heroes, they are very likely to become the strongest team in the entire country. In recent years, this phenomenon has become more and more obvious. This weekend, the national derby in the first leg of La Liga in 2011-2012 will be staged at the Bernabeu Stadium. This game will directly determine the ownership of the La Liga championship trophy this season.

This contest is the most luxurious club showdown in football today. According to the data from the "Transfer Market" website, the total value of the two teams reached an astonishing 123.7 billion euros. Real Madrid has a total value of 23.31 billion euros, and the average value of 27.3 million euros. Barcelona has only 21 players, but the total value of 60.6 billion euros, and the average value of 28.86 million euros!

In the La Liga, the two teams met a total of 162 times, with Barcelona winning 63 wins 31 draws 68 losses. This national derby is Real Madrid and Barcelona's seventh confrontation this year. The frequency of the confrontation sets a historical record. The original record is six times a year. Since Guardiola became Barcelona's coach, the Red and Blues have never lost to Real Madrid in the league, and have never lost at the Bernabeu. On the territory of the mortal enemy, Barcelona can always dance under the leadership of the king.

When he went to the Bernabeu in the previous three seasons, Barcelona never lags behind Real Madrid in points. But now, Guardiola has the only option left, which is to win. In the standings, Barcelona fell behind Real Madrid with one more game. Considering that Real Madrid faced other teams in La Liga, the super high winning rate of winning, only by killing the enemy twice in the national derby can Barcelona ensure the initiative to win four consecutive championships.

The larger gap in points will directly affect the tactics and mentality of both sides. Mourinho can safely and boldly set up the iron barrel formation. The significance of zero to zero for Real Madrid is not less than a five-to-zero victory. Even if Real Madrid loses, they still have the first move to win the championship, which will make the new warship players more at ease in their mentality.

Barcelona must attack with all their might from the first minute of the game, and if they can't start the situation for a long time, their mentality will inevitably fall into anxiety over time. At that time, the quick counterattack that Mourinho has always emphasized will be of great use.

Judging from the performance of the two teams at home and away this season, it is difficult for Barcelona to be trusted. Real Madrid won all the first six home games, and scored 28 goals, with an astonishing goal score of 4.67 goals per game. Barcelona's first six away games had only two wins, three draws and one loss, and the gains and consummations were 8-7. The two goals that Barcelona won were all won with the smallest advantage of one-to-zero. In the three draws, the scores were all two-to-two. In the away game, Barcelona did not attack or defend this season, so how could the Red and Blues defeat the Bernabeu?

From a technical and tactical perspective, this may be the most suspenseful and unsure game since Mourinho took office. There are many variables on both sides. Will Mourinho use three midfielders, or will he continue to work out and form a 4231 formation that has performed well this season?

Will Guardiola use 3, 4, 3 at the Bernabeu? In addition to Messi, who belongs to the other two starting positions on the front line? Everything is still unknown. Both head coaches have the possibility of surprises and have created many uncertainties for the opponent. However, for fans, this is a good thing, and the game will be more attractive.

In the first national derby last season, Mourinho tried to play against Barcelona at the Camp Nou, but lost 0 to 5, and suffered the most painful defeat in his coaching career. In the following six derbys, Mourinho decisively changed to play the three-middle midfielder, and the result was one win, three draws and two losses, and the scene changed a lot. Will the Portuguese head coach continue to use the three-middle midfielder tactic in this game? It seems that the answer is very affirmative, but in fact there are variables.

The key reason is that Real Madrid and last season have undergone tremendous changes. The team's technical and tactical system is more mature, the players cooperate more tacitly, and they are qualified to wrestle the arm of Barcelona on the offensive end.

Higuain is in good shape now, Di Maria and others are not bad, Cristiano Ronaldo has gradually abandoned his previous solo fight and started to cooperate with the team. Kaka's form seems to have returned to the peak, and with Gong Zheng, a super-strong striker, joining, Real Madrid's strength will definitely increase greatly. The three-middle midfielder is strong in defense and interception, while the two-middle midfielder and front midfielder can better control the game and hit the opponent.

And now Barcelona is thinking of a three-back or a four-back now?

"It will be a very risky thing to use three defenders at the Bernabeu," Guardiola said, but this does not mean that he will definitely re-use the 433 formation that Barcelona is more familiar with away games. In fact, before in Mestalia in Valencia and San Siro in AC Milan, Barcelona used three defenders, while in Getafe, Barcelona who lost the game started in the four defenders. What determines the victory or defeat is not the number of people on the back line, but the technical performance and mental outlook of each player.

In fact, the most important goal of Guardiola's three-middle midfielder tactics this season is to defeat Mourinho's three-middle midfielder tactics. When using the four-third-middle formation, Barcelona has fewer midfielders and is easily stared at by the opponent. After changing to the three-four-three formation, there is an extra point of exit in the midfield, which is why Guardiola strongly demands the introduction of Fabregas. Mourinho's three-middle midfielder tactics is to block Barcelona's shots at the front of the penalty area, implement a man-to-man tactics against Xavi and Iniesta, and cut them with Messi. At this time, if Barcelona still has a stable and efficient point of exit, the opponent's blocking line will collapse.

The introduction of Sanchez is also to deal with Real Madrid. Villa and Pedro have the ability to break through straight lines and cannot break the surface with the iron barrel formation. The Chilean can break through the opponent's defense line with his personal ability and can destroy the opponent's defensive system with his own speed. With him echoing Messi on another section of the court, Real Madrid's defense line will have to expand its defense area and cannot concentrate its forces and the middle lane. From this perspective, Sanchez's starting line is very likely to start.

On November 24, the Spanish Football Association announced the list of referees for each game of the 16th round of La Liga on December 10. The eye-catching national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be enforced by 38-year-old David Fernandez Polbaran.

It is worth noting that at the beginning of the season, Real Madrid drew 2-2 in Barcelona to win the championship, and the referee was Porbaran. This guy's law enforcement gave Jose Mourinho a big opinion.

Porbaran is an Almerian, 38 years old this year and only became an international referee last season. Although he is young, Porbaran is one of the new generation of referees trained by the Spanish Football Association. He began to enforce the La Liga in September 2004, and the first game was Levante against Santander. This season, Porbaran has played 14 games in various games, including six La Liga games, one Spanish Super Cup, two Champions League games, three Europa League games and two national team games.

Porbaran was appointed as the referee for Real Madrid to play Barcelona at home on December 10. This is his first time in La Liga law enforcement country derby. It is also the second derby battle he enforced in four months after Barcelona's home match against Real Madrid in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup on August 17. It can be seen that the Spanish Football Association values ​​him.

Porbaran has not enforced Barcelona's La Liga this season, and Real Madrid's game was a game, which was a 0-0 draw with Santander away. Mourinho's team met Porbaran twice this season without any victory. Obviously, this referee is not the lucky star of the Galaxy battleship. When playing against Barcelona at the Bernabeu on December 10, will Real Madrid continue to have bad luck or can they break the curse in one fell swoop? Let's wait and see.

The Spanish national derby is about to begin. In addition to the difficulty of fans' votes and the fans of the two teams' products are sold, the Spanish media also launched a survey in response to the situation, allowing fans to vote to choose who can win in this game. Statistics from "Marca" on December 7th local time showed that fans are more optimistic about Real Madrid's defeat of Barcelona this weekend. ** 60% of the fans who participated in the voting won the team that Liu supported Mourinho's team, which is almost twice the number of fans who supported Barcelona (34%) to score three-pointers away.

The La Liga has finished fifteen rounds this season. As the defending champion Barcelona (one more game) is actually three-pointer behind Real Madrid, which is very rare in the past few years. Real Madrid has performed very well this season, which makes Real Madrid fans very happy. They have seen Real Madrid overturn Barcelona.

At the same time, the players who played for the two teams also spoke, and Ronaldinho supported Barcelona: "I hope Barcelona won the century war, and I will never forget the match that I won the applause of Real Madrid fans in November 2005." And former Real Madrid's Golden Wolf Guti supported Real Madrid: "Real Madrid will definitely defeat Barcelona, ​​and I bet they will win the game 3-1."

Raul, who is now in Schalke 04, also said in an interview with reporters: "Yes, I think Real Madrid can win. It's not just that I'm a Real Madrid fan. I play national football in Real Madrid, but that Real Madrid is really strong this season. Especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Gong Zheng on the front line. I have played with these two, and their strength is very strong. I firmly believe that they can lead Real Madrid to win."

Two stars who have played for Real Madrid and Barcelona before also spoke up. Portuguese star Figo said in an interview with reporters: "This national derby is really a century-old battle. Lyon's value has reached an astonishing 1.2 billion yuan, which is really surprising. However, judging from the current configuration and situation, I am still optimistic about Real Madrid. Yes, Real Madrid is in very healthy now, while Barcelona is a bit unsatisfactory."

Ronaldo, a Brazilian star who played for Barcelona and Real Madrid, also expressed his opinion in an interview with reporters: "Well, this will be a very exciting game. I really want to watch this game on site. Unfortunately, I have something to do and can't go. However, I will pay attention to this game in front of the TV."

"As for my opinion on this game, I am still optimistic about Real Madrid, because I really hope that Real Madrid's center Gong Zheng is his fan, and I really hope that he can win, hahaha!" Brazilian star Ronaldo laughed out loud.

"However, this must be a very difficult game. I hope Real Madrid can be prepared for a tough battle, must maintain a good attitude, and play according to what they have prepared before. I believe they will definitely win." Brazilian superstar Ronaldo said.
