Football’s First Defender

Completed another record harvest since Real Madrid's recovery.

For Real Madrid, after five consecutive victories in the league, it now ranks first in the La Liga standings.

And Real Madrid still has a big advantage.

Its main competitor, Barcelona, ​​only achieved three wins, one draw and one loss in the first five rounds of the league. After the current five rounds, it is already five points behind Real Madrid, which is not small for Real Madrid. The advantage can establish a sufficient lead in the early stage of the league, laying a good foundation for the subsequent league championship.

For a consecutive week of double matches, Real Madrid will go to an away game in the sixth round of La Liga to challenge Las Palmas, which has performed well in recent years.

Due to the Champions League group match with Dortmund in the middle of next week, for this Champions League focus match, it is still an away game, and Real Madrid still wants to make a difference.

Therefore, Real Madrid still chose to rotate some players in this game to save strength for the team's mid-week game.

Marcelo in the defense has not yet recovered from his injury, and Carvajal started the game as the team's offensive player in the defense.

Carvajal, Ramos, Yang Feng, and Nacho form the team's defense.

In midfield, Toni Kroos, Modric, and Asensio formed a very aggressive Real Madrid midfielder.

Ronaldo, Morata and Bell form the trident of the team today.

Facing the defensive strength of Las Palmas, Real Madrid must show the strongest offensive strength on the offensive end to pose a greater offensive threat to the opponent.

In fact, for most La Liga teams, the away game against Las Palmas is not easy to play.

The Las Palmas team's home court is isolated overseas, which is exhausting for the visiting team and can easily affect the performance of the team's players.

In addition, the Las Palmas team is originally a team that is extremely good at home games. They are extremely good at using the island's home court to grab points, and using the devil's home court to deal blows to their opponents.

In the past ten rounds at home, Las Palmas actually only lost two games.

And it was a 1:2 home loss to visiting Barcelona last season, and a 1:2 loss to Real Madrid before that.

Other opponents, whether it is Valencia or Athletic Bilba, a strong "La Liga" team, have come to Las Palmas' island home court, but they still cannot gain an advantage and win against them.

So far this season, Las Palmas has won two games at home, 1:0, and defeated the visiting Malaga.

There is also a 5-1 victory over Granada.

The record of three wins and two losses has allowed Las Palmas to be temporarily placed in the European theater, which also reflects the excellent overall ability of this island team and the fighting spirit of the players.

.

And Real Madrid came to Las Palmas as a guest with the latest 17-game winning streak in the league. Of course, they want to continue their winning streak.

only

In the face of Las Palmas' five-back defense at home, although Real Madrid has the advantage of possession, but in terms of the actual effect of the game, compared with the offensive suppression of the previous games, Real Madrid's offensive suppression in this game to reduce a lot

.

The team did not achieve the desired suppressive effect in the game. The number of attacks and the possibility of the team's offense, as well as the number of threats created by the offensive attempts were significantly lower than those in the direct games, and the overall offensive rhythm was slow.

However, under this slow-paced offense, Real Madrid's offense mainly relies on crosses from the wing to find the team's support players in the midfield. Perhaps this is the personal strength advantage of the players in the Real Madrid team. Relying on the excellent personal strength of the players as a support, even if Real Madrid simply plays long passes, it has a great offensive threat.

Although Morata is not a traditional column center, Morata's header ability is not weak, and he is paired with Ronaldo and Bell.

Real Madrid's trident still has a strong ability to compete in front of the goal.

In the set kick, Yang Feng and Ramos stepped forward, forming an impact of five players who are good at heading the ball, which will cause huge psychological pressure on Las Palmas' set kick defense

.

Just when everyone thought that Real Madrid's offense might still rely on passing from the side, relying on players in the middle to complete the top or using set kicks and long-range shots to break the deadlock, Real Madrid used an unexpected goal in the game to take the lead .

In the 32nd minute of the game, when Las Palmas organized an attack at home, the central defender wanted to send a pass to his teammate in the middle under the oppressive defense of Real Madrid's frontcourt players.

But the choice of footwork for this pass is quite bad. Although there is no major problem in the route of the pass, the slow ground ball does give the Real Madrid defenders a very good chance to grab the ball. .

Nacho, who replaced Marcelo in this game, was very active. When he saw that the opponent's passing route was too long and the receiver chose to stay in place and wait for the ball, Nacho decisively accelerated forward from the rear. Choose to grab.

Nacho quickly rushed forward to catch the ball, and controlled the ball one step ahead of the opponent's player. However, Nacho did not stop after stealing the ball and then look for his teammates. Instead, he used the wide space of the opponent's side to continue to dribble forward.

.

Las Palmas' defense collapsed in an instant. In the process of Nacho dribbling forward, for the Las Palmas defenders, should they choose to defend Nacho, Ronaldo, or Morata and Bale? It's all a tough choice.

In the end, Las Palma still concentrated the main defensive players on Real Madrid's strikers, but for Nacho, he got a broad sprint opportunity.

It's hard to imagine that Nacho could take the ball from the midfield area directly into the opponent's penalty area, only to suffer defensive interference from defensive players.

Las Palmas' defense was too indulgent for Nacho.

When his teammates were marked by opponents and he had no confidence in his passing, Nacho chose to volley and hit the goal while walking.

The first step into the penalty area is to complete the goal, directly hit the anti-corner, and hit the goal in the lower right corner.

The Las Palmas goalkeeper showed a super fast reaction to the ball. He fell to the ground and stretched his arms out, just blocking the goal.

.

But although the goal was blocked by the goalkeeper, the ball bounced forward. The defensive players of Las Palmas paid attention to it. A powerful striker like C Robert ignored the little-known player in the Real Madrid lineup. the teenager.

Asensio got another chance to play in this game and did not live up to Zidane's expectations.

With many big brothers in front of him attracting firepower for him, Asensio used his active running, and then inserted to complete a supplementary shot to hit the goal.

With a push shot, Asensio faced the bounced ball, calmly controlled his footwork, and hit the ball steadily into the goal.

1:0!

Real Madrid took the lead in the away game with the goal of teenager Asensio.

Asensio scored again on the field in the game. It can only be said that Zidane's discerning vision allowed Real Madrid to find an excellent offensive scorer again from their youth training system.

This goal can also be regarded as a display of Real Madrid's terrifying offensive strength.

The depth of Real Madrid's terrifying lineup, even if Marcelo, the world's number one left back, is absent, and Nacho, who is not so famous, will play on the field and replace him on the left side, he can still pose a great offensive threat to the team.

Under the influence of their teammates, Nacho and Asensio both played wonderful performances in this game. If they have the opportunity to play, they can complete their performance. This is the most important thing as a substitute player.

Nacho's long-range shot after a wonderful long-distance attack caused the opponent's goalkeeper to throw the ball away, and Asensio followed up and completed a follow-up shot after his teammates drew enough attention from the opponent's defense line. The team broke the deadlock, and it was the result of the two coming off the bench in this game and seizing the opportunity to perform.

Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead in the away game, and a victory seemed to be beckoning to Real Madrid again...
