Football’s First Defender

For Real Madrid, away games are definitely not an easy task.

During the game, you have to bear the pressure brought by the fans on the scene, and you have to bear all kinds of things, which belong to Bayern's home court advantage.

Sometimes, the referee's penalty scale will also be beneficial to Bayern, who is playing at home.

However, the players of Real Madrid have already anticipated various problems before the game. For them, they can only try their best to overcome these unfavorable factors and strive for a better game. Just play.

This UEFA Champions League match deserves to be a much-anticipated battle, as a duel between two teams that may be the most powerful in European football today

.

The pace of the game between Real Madrid and Bayern was extremely fast, and the two sides played without delay on the court. The pace of the game was extremely fast from the beginning, and there was no chance to test each other at all.

After Neuer played the ball from the backcourt, Bayern immediately launched an attack against Real Madrid's central and frontcourt players in the process of pressing in their own half, and played the first wave of Bayern's offensive

.

Bayern's first wave of offensive came from the position on the right. The right back Lahm directly advanced quickly. After receiving a pass from Neuer, he quickly dribbled forward.

In front of Lahm, Peter Pan Robben is also on the right side, which guarantees the threat to Real Madrid's entire left side

, Ram and Robben's double hit the right, making Real Madrid's left side under tremendous defensive pressure.

While Real Madrid focused more on Robben in a dangerous position, Lahm suddenly chose to pass the ball when he had not yet entered the dangerous area and was not under the greatest defensive pressure. The ball was stuffed directly in front of Real Madrid's big penalty area.

A pass that was not considered a pass to a dangerous area, but it was due to Thomas Muller's fast diagonal forward, and the moment he completed the catch, he was in front of Real Madrid's penalty area, posing a certain threat to Real Madrid.

What Thomas Muller is most proud of is its excellent running ability. He can always look for opportunities astutely, appearing in the weak spots of the opponent's defense, or use his running to force the attacking space

.

This time, Thomas Muller's offense directly stopped Lahm's pass before the penalty area. At the moment of stopping the ball, it may pose a threat to Real Madrid's gate.

Fortunately, Thomas Muller did not forcefully hit the goal this time, but chose to make further fake moves to gain more offensive space. However, Yang Feng, who stepped forward to defend him, accurately judged Thomas Muller's action.

Facing a pass from Lahm's right, Thomas Müller stopped the ball with a block before receiving it.

Although he wanted to hit the goal directly with his right foot, Thomas Muller was bold, and the decision he made in an instant was to choose

After stopping the ball, immediately smash the ball to the left, and use the fake action that can directly hit the goal to sway the defensive player, thereby creating a larger offensive space.

However, Yang Feng's defense is very experienced, and he accurately judged Thomas Muller's actions.

Instead of stepping forward to block Thomas Muller's fake attack on the right, he stretched out his foot accurately and kicked Thomas Muller's spike directly.

Yang Feng's defense this time was very precise, which directly made Thomas Muller's wonderful smash come to naught.

Within less than a minute of the opening, Yang Feng, as Real Madrid's pinnacle, successfully destroyed Thomas Muller's wonderful solo performance.

However, Bayern's offensive continued. Although Yang Feng destroyed the ball, the ball was immediately controlled by Thiago on the outside.

Thiago immediately handed the ball to Vidal, and Vidal made a pass from the outside instep, and continued to find Ram on the right.

This time Ram did not choose to attack by himself, but gave the ball to Robben in front right.

Peter Pan Robben played quite aggressively against Marcelo's defense

.

This time, Robben did not choose the iconic cut inside to hit the goal. After all, Real Madrid's central defenders are dense. Robben chose to force the bottom and complete a cross, but Marcelo extended the cross The foot directly blocked the bottom line, and within a minute of the opening, Bayern got the first corner kick of the audience

.

Due to the lack of Lewandowski, for Bayern, they do not actually have much advantage in the high points of set kicks.

It may be that the two central defenders Boateng and Harvey Martinez have a certain ability to compete

, other people are actually more like Thomas Muller who are good at finding space and opportunities in the penalty area, but they lack absolute high points

.

But in terms of defense, Real Madrid's set-piece defensive tactics are quite strong. After all, Ramos and Yang Feng are both good at heading. , even Benzema has a super header ability, so in the competition for set kicks, Real Madrid actually has a certain advantage

.

This is also what Real Madrid can try to take advantage of in the next offensive end.

Robben's pass did not try to find the direction in front of the goal. With Real Madrid clearly occupying the defensive advantage of set-pieces, Robben chose to avoid the dense defensive area in the middle, but a larger one. The arc, the ball directly found the back point.

Vidal, who was in the back position, directly completed a header, but the ball was under the defensive pressure of Carvajal who rushed over. Although Vidal headed the ball towards the goal, it was an ups and downs. The ball, when the speed of the ball is slow, there is no pressure on Navas, and he jumps directly to complete the catch.

It was the end of Bayern's first attack at home.

Bayern, who are playing at home, have been quite active from the very beginning of the game, and they are quite oppressive.

Navas's backcourt pass was directly intercepted by Bayern in the midfield, and then it was Bayern's chance to reorganize the attack.

Real Madrid is still carrying out the oppressive defense in the frontcourt.

The enthusiasm of the entire Real Madrid players was also mobilized in this Champions League game, but with the pass control foundation left by Guardiola after all, Bayern's pass control is still quite good.

Every player can have excellent passing ability and excellent pulling awareness, so that the teammates holding the ball can always find the passing space to pick the ball out of the Real Madrid players' encirclement.

Real Madrid's siege of Bayern's defense had no effect. Instead, it allowed Alaba on the left to find an opportunity to move forward quickly.

Bayern's attack on the right refers to the cooperation of Lahm and Robben, while on the left is the rapid attack of Alaba and Ribery.

Alaba's quick impact and Ribery's quick advance put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid's right-sided defense.

While Real Madrid's defense actively shrunk to guard against the impact of Alaba and Ribery, Alaba made a cross pass and directly found Vidal who was inserted in the middle.

Facing Real Madrid's defensive line shrinking in the middle, Vidal moved the ball from a long distance to Robben who was in the open space on the right.

This is Ancelotti's tactics at Bayern. Compared with the past Heynckes era, Bayern's two wings are flying together, and Bayern's pass control style in the Guardiola era.

In the execution of tactics, Ancelotti not only has the shadow of Guardiola's pass control, but also has the routine of flying on both wings in the Heynckes era. For Ancelotti, since Bayern has Riber on the two sides If you have outstanding players like Li and Robben, you must try your best to use their ability to break through the wing to create opportunities.

.

This time, after the preparation of the attack on the left was completed, Vidal acted as the connection point of the team's offense, transferred the ball to the right and gave it to Robben, giving Robben a very good one-on-one attack opportunity.

Facing Robben's breakthrough, Marcelo also gave his full attention.

Robben controls the ball with his feet, shrugs his shoulders iconically, pads his feet, and steps on his feet in small steps. No one knows whether he will choose the bottom or the inside cut, whether it is the bottom or the inside cut, Robben As one of the best right wing players in the world, he has a super threat, and this also puts a lot of pressure on Marcelo's defense

.

However, in the attack that just started, Robben still didn't directly use his personal ability to complete the attack.

Confronting Marcelo directly, after some feints, Robben suddenly sent a pass from his feet and stuffed the ball directly to the baseline.

Ram, who was behind Robben's side before, was sprinting with all his strength, just received a pass from Robben, and directly completed a cross to find the inside of the penalty area

.

It was a brilliant combination from the right wing duo, with Robben playing the role of attracting the attention of the opponent's defense, and then passing the ball directly to the right back Lahm to create an attacking space.

However, although Lahm's direct cross after receiving the ball was very threatening, Yang Feng was the first to judge the placement in the middle.

Yang Feng didn't make any mistakes, and a header directly pushed the ball out of the baseline.

In the first minute and a half, Bayern won the second corner kick

.

However, for the second corner kick opportunity, Bayern still did not make too many tactical changes.

Robben's corner kick still chooses a big arc to go directly to Vidal, but this time, Benzema, who is in charge of defending Vidal, really stuck Vidal firmly.

Although Vidal took off reluctantly and scrambled for the header, he couldn't exert enough force at all, and the ball was directly pushed out of the baseline range, with a huge deviation.

Bayern's second corner kick also came back in vain

, but got two corner kicks in less than two minutes, and it can also be seen that Bayern, who are playing at home, played a very good suppressing effect at the beginning of this game.

Bayern played their own home court advantage to constantly create a threat to Real Madrid's defense

.

Bayern playing at home, even facing Real Madrid, exerted their suppression to the extreme in the opening stage.

Navas's goal kick was another big kick, but it was Bayern who grabbed the spot. Real Madrid has been pressing from the beginning of the game to the present, but it seems that they have not gained a possession of the ball and really organized one. opportunity to attack.

After Bayern grabbed the ball again, they immediately launched a small-scale pass in the midfield, and then quickly delivered the ball to Real Madrid's half.

Launched its own attack again

Speed, thanks to Bayern's pass and control system is still quite good, under the control of the midfield, the first time the ball is in possession, Bayern will pass the ball in a small area behind the midfield in a row, passing the ball to the back At the feet of Xavi Alonso, who was not defended by anyone, and Xavi Alonso made a direct pass, directly looking for Alaba, who quickly advanced on the left side of his side. Alaba was not received by Real Madrid at the first time on the left Defensive pressure on defensive players.

And after getting the ball from the left, he can give full play to his offensive ability

, the attack on the left is still a duo of Alaba and Ribery, while Real Madrid is responsible for defense by Carvajal and Modric who rushed over quickly.

In the handover of defensive personnel, Carvajal firmly guarded the deep position, while Modric held the front position, and did not perform man-to-man operations on players like Ribery and Alaba , but the two defend the area separately and complete the defense nearby.

During the march, the two of Alaba and Ribery passed the ball and changed positions, which did not interfere with Real Madrid's defensive arrangement.

In the end, Modric succeeded in grabbing the post to defend Ribery, and Ribery passed the ball to Alaba who continued to advance.

When Alaba was facing Carvajal's defense, he wanted to choose a pass, but Carvajal stretched his legs first to block the pass route and blocked the ball out of the boundary

.

After the quick serve, Bayern had no chance to launch an attack immediately when the Real Madrid players fully contracted to ensure their own defense, but could only pass the ball backwards.

Pass to the defense, and patiently organize the attack again in the midfield to find opportunities.

After passing the ball with multiple feet in the midfield range, Alonso saw the opportunity and continued to find the left wing with a long pass. This is actually the horror of Bayern today. With two world-class wingers like the Robery combination, they can pose a threat to the opponent's wide defense.

Behind them, the two full-backs Lahm and Alaba also have super assist ability

With excellent transmission and control foundation.

The entire Bayern's three midfielders, Thiago, Harvey Alonso and Vidal all have excellent long-passing abilities, which can quickly find the ball and transfer it to the teammates who run out of opportunities.

Just this time, Alonso's precise long pass directly found Alaba, who quickly advanced from the left, and Alaba successfully unloaded the ball before the baseline, and took advantage of the situation to complete a pass.

However, Carvajal, who is responsible for defending him, is indeed a strong contender for today's No. 1 right back. When facing Alaba's long pass again, Carvajal once again accurately judged Alaba's pass. The ball route, blocking the ball with one kick to block the ball out of the boundary.

Bayern get another chance for a throw-in
