Football’s First Defender

Bayern Munich does occupy the initiative on the field. In terms of offensive performance in the game, Bayern Munich is obviously much better than Real Madrid, which is playing at home. Of course, this is also because Real Madrid chose relatively more in the beginning. Conservative tactics.

Although Real Madrid said that they did not directly set up an iron bucket formation, but for now, the situation of all members retreating to defense still has some meaning of seeking stability at the beginning.

However, seeking stability at the beginning is understandable for Real Madrid, which has a large lead and an advantage in away goals.

Real Madrid can use defense to obtain a more favorable game situation, and look for counterattack opportunities, focusing on hitting Bayern's defense.

Although Bayern's corner kick was very threatening, Yang Feng directly headed it out, and Real Madrid's counterattack followed immediately.

Modric is right on the path of the football that Yang Feng hit with a header.

Facing Harvey Alonso who rushed from the outside, Modric unloaded the ball with his chest, and at the same time, he made a beautiful turn on the spot and directly bypassed Alonso's defense, and then flew towards the goal with the ball. forward.

An excellent opportunity for Real Madrid to counterattack, three-on-three in the frontcourt.

It's just that when Modric sent a through ball to Ronaldo in front left, it was directly shoveled by Ram who was guarding behind.

Lahm's defensive choice this time after completing the block is actually quite bold. If the ball is missed, there will be a wide space in front of Ronaldo, and the entire Bayern defense will suffer heavy losses.

But Lahm used his own defensive experience to complete this defense excellently. He predicted that he fell to the ground for a shovel, and his foot just touched Modric's passing line to block the ball. Get the desired counterattack effect.

Lahm became the key to Bayern's defense this time, complementing Yang Feng on the other side.

After Ram successfully cleared the siege, the Real Madrid players also regained control of the ball in the backcourt for patient organization.

After all, for Real Madrid players, this is a home game. Under Zidane's tactical arrangement, after surpassing Bayern Munich's opening attack, Real Madrid also began to use their own possession to control and look for offense. Opportunity.

As two cosmic teams, the two teams have maintained a relatively stable team structure in recent years. Although there may be players coming in and out, the main framework of the team has remained quite stable.

And Real Madrid can be regarded as benefiting from the Ancelotti era, just as Bayern Munich benefited from the successful system established in the Guardiola era. Real Madrid is now under the coaching of Zidane. The shadow, that is, the technical reform of Real Madrid's midfielder in the Ancelotti era gave Real Madrid the same ability to control the ball.

It is said that Real Madrid is the team that is best at defensive counterattacks today, but when Real Madrid really wants to take the initiative to control the ball, it is also not a weak team.

This is the inevitable development of modern football, that is, all players are developing in an all-round way, there is no weakness that can be targeted by the opponent, and various offensive changes can be made during the game.

And Real Madrid's continuous passing of the ball in the midfield is constantly pulling Bayern's defensive formation.

And C Ronaldo's sudden pull to the right to catch the ball is actually a temporary change for Bayern's defense. In fact, Real Madrid sometimes relied on C Ronaldo and Bell's transposition attack to give the opponent defense line poses a threat.

Although Bell is now injured, Ronaldo came to the right to attack and switched other teammates to the left, which also caused a great threat to the opponent.

Bayern had to concentrate their defensive numbers on this side to complete the defensive block. However, after Ronaldo received the ball, he made a long pass, but he didn't make a move. Instead, he dunked the ball and chose to attack in the middle.

As a top shooter, Ronaldo's long-range shooting ability is now very clear to everyone. Bayern Munich players, even outside the penalty area, dare not have any slack on Ronaldo. They are constantly harassing Ronaldo. His shot.

On the other hand, Ronaldo was in the process of marching. He suddenly knocked the ball with his heel and knocked the ball back to his position just now, the position where he launched the attack just now, and it was Isco, who was in hot form recently, who responded from the side and rear.

Isco made his debut in the last round of the league weekend and scored two goals alone, becoming the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's victory over Sporting Gijon.

In this game, Isco continued his recent hot performance.

After receiving a pass from Ronaldo, Isco shuttled through Bayern Munich's defense line like an elf, using excellent acceleration and technical ability at his feet to shake off two Bayern players in a row and head straight for Bayern's penalty area.

Seeing that Isco had already reached near the penalty area line, Vidal, who followed the defense from the side, could only choose to shovel. Vidal's purpose was very simple, which was to stop people.

Vidal's kick did not touch the football at Isco's feet, but directly tackled Isco's ankle, and Isco fell directly to the ground. Although the ball was scored before falling to the ground, the route of the ball still appeared deviation.

When Carvajal on the right received the ball, he was caught in the double-team of two Bayern players, but the referee saw that Real Madrid's offense had no chance, so he stopped the game directly.

A yellow card to Vidal is also essential.

Vidal's foul this time can't be said to be reckless, it can only be said to be a tactical choice. After all, after a technical player like Isco really enters the penalty area, it may cause a greater threat.

The front is about two meters away from the penalty area, and there is a chance for a direct free kick. Neuer is also patiently organizing the team's defensive line.

After all, at such a close distance, if Ronaldo's elevator ball is hit, it will definitely be extremely dangerous.

But after all, the elevator ball is interfered by the success rate.

Although Ronaldo exerted enough force this time and wanted to hit the iconic elevator ball, the starting height of the ball was not that good.

Hit the wall and was bounced off.

Here I want to say that the elevator ball sounds simple, or the common highlights of all kinds are elevator balls, but you have to consider the success rate of the elevator ball. Compared with the arc ball on the inner instep, Elevator balls need both sufficient force and extremely fine control of the ankles, so even for professional players, the success rate is actually not too high if they want to really hit high-quality elevator balls, which is why elevator balls The threat is huge, but in fact, when there are more direct free kick opportunities to attack the goal, it is better to choose a curve kick to make a certain threat.

Immediately after Bayern successfully defended this time, they immediately played an excellent counterattack.

Robben launched a quick breakthrough on the right and directly completed a kick pass. Lewandowski in the center once again overwhelmed Ramos to complete a header.

But this time Ramos still showed his defensive strength and gave Lewandowski enough interference, and Lewandowski's take-off height was limited to a certain extent. When competing for the top in the air, Lewandowski was only The head touched the football, but there was no way to complete the complete technical action, and the ball went straight out of the baseline.

The real killing intent is a minute later.

Keylor Navas's goal kick went directly to Bayern's half, and Bayern's defenders directly controlled the ball and immediately launched an attack.

Although Real Madrid's central and frontcourt players were also pressing to a certain extent, Bayern successfully transferred the ball from the right side of Real Madrid's defensive key area to the left side through continuous passes. After Alaba received the ball, the front was empty.

Alaba can be allowed to sprint with all his strength, sprinting with the ball directly into Real Madrid's right defense zone.

The two of Alaba and Ribery are attacking on the left, while Real Madrid actually only has Carvajal on the right. Of course, Casemiro is ready to defend at any time in the midfield.

And Yang Feng was also noticing the opponent's attack on this side.

After Alaba's dribbling broke through Real Madrid's midfield, he chose to hand the ball to Ribery, and he continued to pull to the leftmost position to open up space for Ribery.

Ribery's dribbling ability is definitely better than Alaba's. His feet ability and ability to combine the ball allow him to have more space to handle the ball.

Even facing the defense of Carvajal or Casemiro, Ribery can still handle the ball with ease in the game to find better offensive opportunities.

Carvajal chose to take care of the defense behind him, while Casemiro went straight up to block Ribery's attack.

But when the double-team between the two really formed, Ribery immediately pushed the ball deep, and Alaba broke out with his own speed and rushed directly to pass the ball.

Of course, Carvajal is also prepared. The previous position selection is to facilitate the pursuit and go straight to Alaba. In fact, the two are almost the same in terms of speed competition.

However, Alaba's longer legs still catch the football first.

Although Carvajal's follow-up defense arrived immediately, Alaba did not take the ball too much. The first moment he controlled the ball, Alaba used his own inertia to gain a half-position advantage.

Pass the ball directly into Real Madrid's penalty area, and Ribery crosses Real Madrid's penalty area after completing the pass. Although Casemiro is keeping up with him, Ribery still takes the lead with his speed Casemiro was in a position and just received a pass from Alaba in the penalty area.

Yang Feng had to rush over to defend, with Yang Feng in front and Casemiro behind, Ribery still looked very calm when facing Yang Feng's defense. After controlling the football, he made a cross pass directly, just passing Yang Feng who fell to the ground and stretched his legs to block the increased defensive range. The ball passed by Yang Feng's feet and flew directly to the back of the goal.

Fortunately, Lewandowski, who was responding in the middle, was firmly blocked by Ramos, and his shovel shot on the ground did not touch the extremely fast ball this time.

When the ball arrived at the back point, Robben volleyed and hit Ramos, who had fallen to the ground before, and bounced off the baseline, failing to complete the goal.

This is definitely Bayern's most threatening attack since the opening.

The support player in front of the goal missed the football, and Robben's goal hit the defensive player at the end. Real Madrid's home court was almost lost in the first half.

For Bayern, playing their own advantages in the game and playing a strong offense is Bayern's way to win.

In the case of Bayern's dominant offense, for Real Madrid, they are more prepared to complete their own offensive performance in the following games.

After all, it is not a good way to let Bayern attack all the time.

The left side where Marcelo is located is naturally the key offensive area of ​​​​Real Madrid.

In this game, in fact, Real Madrid's 433 lineup sometimes becomes more of a 442 lineup, so in order to facilitate Marcelo's attack on the left and also to mobilize Bayern's defense, Ronaldo is more close to the center , instead of cooperating with Marcelo on the left side as usual.

This time, he was transferred to the left, and Marcelo cooperated with Isco, who has been in very good form recently.

With Marcelo's own super offensive ability, coupled with Isco's smart ability, Real Madrid's left attack immediately takes advantage under the threat of the two offensives. The most intuitive is to face Marseille in 1V1 When Lowe and Isco attacked with the ball, Bayern's defensive players also couldn't really limit their offense.

After all, with the offensive ability of top players, sometimes their fake moves can be turned into real moves, and real moves can also be turned into fake moves. Defensive players can only limit as much as possible, and it is impossible to completely block the opponent's moves. attack.

This time, Marcelo and Isco took turns looking for attacking opportunities in a static state on the left flank.

In the end, it was Marcelo who made a fake pass and swept the ball directly to the goal.

, but this time Hummels' efforts have paid off.

The precise card position firmly blocked Ronaldo who wanted to advance forward, and stretched out his foot to destroy the ball at the first time, which did not let Real Madrid's attack take shape this time.

On the other hand, Bayern's counterattack also started quickly.

Harvey Alonso immediately controlled the clearance ball and transferred it directly to the feet of Ribery on the left. Ribery did not make a breakthrough by himself, but saw Lewandowski and Arjen Robben in front of the right. When the two advanced forward, they directly chose a long pass with a big foot and aimed at the depths of Real Madrid's penalty area.

The ball chose to look for Lewandowski's side, not the faster Robben who was closer to the middle, which made Ramos, who came to defend Robben, a little bit empty.

However, Yang Feng still has Yang Feng to supplement the defense on Lewand's side, so there is no absolute gap.

Ribery's pass is well grasped in advance, and the landing point is within Real Madrid's penalty area, within the distance that Lewandowski can chase forward.

As for the competition with Lewandowski, although Yang Feng felt the pressure from Lewandowski, he took the initiative to push Lewandowski hard and did not give him the opportunity to rush forward.

A direct confrontation between spear and shield, one is the best center forward in the world, and the other is the best central defender in the world, neither of them can completely beat their opponents in the competition of speed and strength, but it is here In this kind of entanglement, Real Madrid still has a certain advantage, because Yang Feng has enough helpers.

With Yang Feng firmly stuck Lewandowski, Navas successfully attacked and took off the landing point of the ball, preventing Lewandowski from getting an offensive opportunity.
