Football: After listening to the persuasion, I became the strongest free man!

Chapter 348 The Blue Moon Legion’s counterattack!

In the past few games, Cristiano Ronaldo has been in a position similar to that of a center forward. The cooperation with the full-backs has been sharply reduced, and cutting inside is not as frequent as in the past. He relies more on the judgment of the landing point and the response of the movement. .

In a word, it is no longer possible for Ronaldo to frequently cut in, sprint, and make big moves near the center and the front of the penalty area as before. So in a few games this season, you will feel, "This kind of ball was scored two seasons ago", and so on more and more.

This game is slightly different. Of course, Ronaldo still squandered several excellent opportunities. But in terms of chances created, this game was impeccable. Real Madrid quickly got into rhythm at the start. Marcelo, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema almost knocked on Naples' goal with their first wide collaboration in the frontcourt. Surprisingly, Real Madrid attacked very fiercely at the beginning.

But it was Napoli who scored the first goal. Hamsik found Insigne with a direct pass near the midfield. The latter did not make any adjustments and hit a curved ball 25 meters away. Navas stood high. I can only watch the ball hit the net. The camera showed Navas, who was slightly disappointed but had to try his best to boost morale.

After the game continued, Naples continued to press forward. Real Madrid tried to use long passes to cross Naples' midfield defense and launch a counterattack. Real Madrid's use of full-backs on the two wings is obviously different. Marcelo on the left is more at the base, and after cooperating with Ronaldo, he either crosses or shoots;

Carvajal on the right rarely breaks close to the sideline and rarely attempts to shoot. He mostly serves as a support point for the right winger to pass back, making 45° diagonal passes. Theoretically, the threat of this kind of pass away from the baseline and close to the goal will be much smaller. In fact, the threat of Ronaldo and Benzema in the penalty area makes the 45-degree diagonal pass become Real Madrid's trump card.

Benzema equalized with a header, which benefited from this. However, the scene that changed the situation and direction of the game happened in the 26th and a half minutes. Ronaldo took the initiative to come to the right without communicating with Ronaldo, and Ronaldo slowly moved to the left to get closer to Benzema. This trick is very clever.

——The corridor on the right was open, Ronaldo ran to the middle and shot, but it was too high, unfortunately;

——C Ronaldo from the right kept passing the ball at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Benzema was one-on-one and hit the post. He was a bit unlucky. One more thing, Ronaldo's pass is like Bale, like Di Maria, and no less than any midfielder;

——J Ronaldo’s left foot can be used, and he starts to frequently hit high balls from the left;

——Benzema is not only active in the middle, but also starts to cooperate with the midfielders on the left. At this time, Ronaldo becomes the center.

Then in the second half, Ronaldo, in addition to staying on the left as usual after kicking off, ran to the right and started making trouble.

In the 48th and a half minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo made a comeback after going down, and Kroos putted into the hole; in the 53rd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo ran to the middle, and after Benzema and Ronaldo cooperated on the wing, the ball came to Casemiro. Under the feet, the flying letter from the sky is simply possessed by Quaresma.

本赛季皇马欧冠4个主场全胜，总共打进15球，没有失球。最近1次对阵德甲球队是上赛季1/8决赛次回合3比4负，此前主场对德甲球队4连胜，连续12场不败。近13个正式比赛主场，有11场至少打进3球。狼堡此前4次欧战淘汰赛首回合取胜均晋级。

Even if my opponent is Team Cosmos, I will risk my life to defeat you. Football needs this spirit.

The advantage of the midfield is also a key to victory.

But generally speaking, this is a Real Madrid that pays more attention to position changes and knows how to control the overall situation. Although Zidane failed to transform Real Madrid into one that pays more attention to foot skills and can always play dazzling combinations in some areas, similar to tiki-taka. His playing style, but looking at the overall layout, he broke Real Madrid's rules of over-reliance on personal ability, detailed position division, and little attention to formation adjustment.

The game was played in the rain. A moment of silence was held before the game for the deceased former Real Madrid player Felipe De Luis. Real Madrid fans hung a banner in the stands with the message "Three Arrows Hit Milan", referring to the 1985 UEFA Cup semi-finals. After losing 0-2 away to Inter Milan in the first leg, Real Madrid came back 3-0 at home to advance.

He not only takes the lead and charges back and forth like before, but more importantly, he can make some adjustments according to the situation, such as going to the right wing he doesn't like, such as taking on defense most of the time today, such as occasionally disrupting the center position. Stir up the situation. Benzema's fight in the frontcourt is very impressive.

After the opening, Real Madrid completely suppressed the opponent in the half court. Cross took a corner kick from the left, Ramos nodded the ball forward, and the ball landed on the far end of the crossbar.

Nadal and the Real Madrid bench watched in shock. At this point the overall situation of the game has been decided. Naples is not without opportunities. A 45-degree diagonal shot from the left creates a great threat to Real Madrid.

The content of Napoli's game in this game reflects the style of a strong team. The players methodically used ball control and passing to attack. It also made Real Madrid uncomfortable for some time in the game, but in this game Hamsik and Zelin Ski and others' direct passes were not good, and compared to their performance in Serie A, it was subpar; otherwise, Naples would never have led by just one goal in the first 20 minutes.

Another fly in the ointment is that I don’t know why Napoli had to play so fancy with the ball in this game. They used a lot of cooperation to hit areas with a lot of people. They could obviously speed up and directly try to attack Real Madrid’s defense.

Napoli's strong performance in European competitions in recent years has also proved that this is an enterprising team. From the immaturity of losing to Chelsea in the 12-13 Champions League, to the unwillingness to be eliminated with 13 points in the 14-12 group stage, to the courage to play against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu this year, the players have changed one after another, but Naples has never changed. .

In the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid defeated Wolfsburg 1-4 at home and advanced with a total score of 2-3. In the first half, Ramos hit the header with a header. Ronaldo scored twice with an overhead kick in 0 seconds. In the second half, Ramos headed the ball into the center post. Cristiano Ronaldo completed a hat-trick with a free kick, taking his UEFA Champions League goals to 3 this season and rewriting his personal record of UEFA Champions League goals to 2.

Real Madrid's momentum at home is also frighteningly strong. No matter how you control Naples or how you can drill it, or whether I can steal your ball when you are playing high, I will always hit your goal hard.

Real Madrid lost the first leg away 0-2. Compared with the first round, Zidane only adjusted one position, Carvajal replaced Danilo, and Benzema recovered from his knee injury in time. Cristiano Ronaldo's 1 Champions League games tie Seedorf for fifth place. Wolfsburg coach Heijing remained unchanged.

While watching the game, I kept sighing in my mind, when will my home team also have players like Modric and Toni Kroos? These two people perfectly control the midfield and continuously provide the frontcourt with opportunities when Real Madrid attacks. Delivering artillery shells, connecting the whole team, and running in and out, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema repeatedly directly attacked the Naples defense in the frontcourt. People may only see their unrestrained display of superb skills, but I always marveled at Real Madrid in front of the TV. Strong midfield.

As for Arsenal's performance this morning... In the first half, the referee made it 1:1, and then in the second half, they swelled up and went out to pretend, and then they were beaten head-on and collapsed. They lost the ball in front of the penalty area and gave away another. This is standard rabble-rousing.

Under his hands, Isco can serve as a left winger, Ronaldo can go to the right, and Vazquez can occupy a starting position most of the time. These are no small improvements. Kroos is the commander, Modric is the strategist, and Ronaldo is now more and more like a general.

Real Madrid's defense still had loopholes. The full-backs attacked too aggressively and the two central defenders were positioned too far away. As a result, they were frequently hit in the middle. Fortunately, Mertens did not seize the opportunity.

Casemiro is the barrier in the middle, Carvajal and Marcelo are flying up and down, and Ronaldo is working hard. The whole Real Madrid gives people the feeling of being steady and ruthless, with a heavy sword without an edge. In addition, Naples' defense at the beginning was similar to 4-1-4-1, but in the first half, Real Madrid directly chose long passes, which basically made the 4-midfield defense line useless, while Real Madrid's position on the defensive end was more similar to 4-4 -2 or 4-2-3-1, Ronaldo is still used as a midfielder.

As a fan who has always watched Serie A and likes Milan, the respondent hopes in his heart that Naples will make big news at the Bernabeu, and by the way prove that the Italian team is still the top in the world. But this is a pity, there is really a gap between our own strength and Real Madrid.

Real Madrid took the lead in the 15th minute! Carvajal stepped into the frontcourt and intercepted Arnold's cross. After the pass was blocked by Arnold, he passed the ball again from the right corner of the penalty area and Arnold changed his line slightly. Cristiano Ronaldo pushed into the empty goal 5 meters away from the goal. .

After the restart, Real Madrid got the ball and attacked again. Modric sent the ball over the top, and Carvajal unloaded the ball from the right side of the penalty area and passed with his left foot. Vierinha struggled to get ahead of Ronaldo and hit the baseline. , Cross took a corner kick from the left, and Ronaldo's header from a small angle bounced into the far corner 7 meters away from the goal.

2比0！皇马两个进球仅相差88秒！C罗连续6个赛季代表皇马至少打进45球。    本泽马左侧内切禁区边缘低射被贝纳利奥得到。德拉克斯勒因伤被克鲁泽换下。古斯塔沃在门前28米处左脚怒射被纳瓦斯托出横梁。

Wolfsburg missed a good opportunity in the 38th minute. Schürrle broke through and passed a low pass from the left. Enrique, who was unmarked, did not shoot directly from the penalty spot. He stopped with his left foot and pushed the shot with his right foot but was blocked by Marcelo's leg and missed. Right goalpost.

Arnold brought down Casemiro and was given a yellow card warning. He will be suspended for one game. Kroos passed the free kick into the penalty area. Ramos fought for the top. Benzema stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area and his shot was blocked after hesitation.

The rain had not stopped in the second half. Ronaldo broke into the left side of the penalty area and fell to the ground. The Hungarian referee Kaushoy did not interrupt the game. Then Ronaldo hit the wall with a free kick 29 meters in front of the goal and missed. There was controversy in the 66th minute. Kroos took a corner kick from the left. Ramos's header hit the inside of the right post 7 meters in front of the goal. The ball flew near the goal line. Benaglio caught the ball behind him. , the referee Kaushoy ruled that the ball was not scored.

In the 70th minute, Ricardo Rodriguez took a corner kick from the left, and Dante's header was received by Navas.

Enrique fell to the ground injured and seemed to be dizzy, and Caligiuri came on as a substitute. Real Madrid overtook the total score in the 77th minute! Modric stole the ball and reached the top of the penalty area and was knocked down by Gustavo. Gustavo received a yellow card and will be suspended for one game. He accused his teammate Arnold of poor defense, and the two had an argument. Cristiano Ronaldo took a free kick 1 meters in front of the goal and entered the lower right corner from the narrow gap between Naldo and Gilavoji.

3比0，这是C罗本赛季欧冠16球，仅次于自己2013-14赛季17球纪录，将自己保持的欧冠1/4决赛进球纪录改写为15球。欧冠5次戴帽追平梅西纪录。

Black Gold immediately replaced midfielder Gilavoji with striker Dost. Wolfsburg could advance by scoring one more goal on away goals. Ronaldo tackled Arnold and was given a yellow card. Benzema cut in from the left to avoid Vierinha, and his low shot from 1 meters in front of the goal missed the far post! Jese replaces Benzema. Bell cut into the penalty area from the left and shot a low shot which was scored by Benaglio. Varane replaces Modric. Real Madrid advanced 12-3.

Real Madrid's success this season can be considered a near miss, but compared with its competitors in the "top three Western Super League", the biggest advantage of Galacticos is stability.

The performance of the midfielders is objectively speaking, it is only relative.

Stability in the midfield means continued good performance on both offense and defense. After Zidane took charge, he continued to trust Modric, Casemiro, and Toni Kroos in the Q-two midfield configuration (strictly speaking, a three-back midfielder), with Ronaldo, Isco, and Vázquez (forwards switching to midfielders). ).

Asensio has become a reasonable rotation player, and the reuse of Isco and regular starter Ronaldo is a very bold move by Zidane.

Isco only took the initiative to change his playing style to be more suitable for the team's requirements (it's not easy to figure it out). Although James Ronaldo is very talented and can form a strong immediate combat power when coming off the bench, he cannot beat Real Madrid in terms of offensive and defensive balance. The midfielder plays a better bonus. Vazquez and Asensio have only rotated relatively few starts and have not yet experienced rapid growth. In fact, they are already ready to adapt to the requirements of the team.

The basic statistics of Real Madrid's back line this season. The season average of 1.08 goals conceded per game is compared to Barcelona's 0.97 and Atletico Madrid's 0.71. It can be said that the defensive performance is indeed not outstanding. What Real Madrid needs is long-term highlights. Ramos and Carvajal are the only regular starters.

, Marcelo can meet the requirements, Varane mainly has many injuries, Nacho mainly has problems with running-in and unstable position; Danilo has a lot of playing time, and his personal performance is difficult to meet the requirements of "long-term highlights", Cohen Tron has basically been given up by Zidane.

In the "six-point battle" between the top three, according to the order of battle, Real Madrid had an away draw with Barcelona and a home draw with Atletico Madrid. Barcelona had a home draw and an away win against Atletico Madrid. This season, both Real Madrid and Barcelona remain undefeated against Atletico Madrid. Xiangma finally won the league championship. The biggest advantage is that they lost less games, which is why it is said that there is no danger.

First of all, based on Zidane's analysis, in the past ten days, Zidane's pants accidentally tore twice without force, directly advertising Ronaldo's underwear. According to our understanding, the brand of pants he wore was Versace. , so here’s a reminder that you need to pay more attention before buying this brand.

Then analyze the game itself.

Before the game, Manchester City's midfielder Yaya Toure was injured for many days, which had a slight impact on the Manchester City midfielder. However, Real Madrid suffered a greater blow during the physical examination before the game. Ronaldo was directly declared out of the game during the physical examination.

The absence of these two people had a certain impact on the offensive quality displayed by the two teams in the game.

Casemiro is the barrier in the middle, Carvajal and Marcelo are flying up and down, and Ronaldo is working hard. The whole Real Madrid gives people the feeling of being steady and ruthless, with a heavy sword without an edge. In addition, Naples' defense at the beginning was similar to 4-1-4-1, but in the first half, Real Madrid directly chose long passes, which basically made the 4-midfield defense line useless, while Real Madrid's position on the defensive end was more similar to 4-4 -2 or 4-2-3-1, Ronaldo is still used as a midfielder.

During the game, Manchester City set up a 451 formation, and there was a tendency to change to 4411 during the game. With Silva's injury, Manchester City changed to a 442 formation, and Real Madrid set up a 433 formation.

In the first 25 minutes of the game, Manchester City coach Pellegrini's idea was obvious. The frontcourt press forced Real Madrid defenders to make mistakes. Fernandinho made consecutive steals during this period. At the same time, the ball also successfully transitioned to De Bruyne's feet will pose a certain test to Real Madrid's defense.

The Real Madrid defender fouled twice near the penalty area and received a yellow card, which shows that Manchester City had a certain suppression on Real Madrid in the first 25 minutes. However, Manchester City's free kick did not successfully challenge the Royal team. Kompany even tried to suppress Casemiro with a foul. But after 25 minutes passed, Real Madrid midfielders Modric and Kroos began to take advantage of passing, constantly passing the ball to resolve Manchester City's press. At the same time, Fernandinho's activity began to decline.

This is when Real Madrid began to take the initiative to take advantage of the ball possession, but facing Manchester City's comprehensive defense, Real Madrid did not show many methods, and Manchester City has been very patient with Real Madrid.

In the 25-40 minute period, every time Real Madrid lost the ball, Aguero and De Bruyne took the initiative to pull the main side and form a triangle with Silva, trying to pry open Real Madrid's right wing guarded by Carvajal. , the effect is not very obvious, but it can also be seen that the Real Madrid full-back is not very comfortable.

In the 40th minute, Silva committed a tactical foul but was accidentally injured, which directly led to his departure. This departure meant that the advantage on the left that Manchester City had begun to establish suddenly disappeared.

It is worth noting here that during the game, Clichy never stepped in to help the three offensive players put pressure on Real Madrid. Throughout the game, Clichy and Sagna did not have many offensive attacks, which shows that Manchester City is somewhat wary of Real Madrid's counterattack. It is also worth noting that Silva's injury was caused by a foul on Bell's tactical tackle.

In the final stage of the first half, Modric's masterful vision and magical through-balls with the outside of his feet created multiple cross-crossing opportunities for Carvajal and Marcelo, but the quality of the crosses was average and did not create any substance. There is a threat to attack.

Generally speaking, Manchester City was more proactive than Real Madrid in the first half. After a period of discomfort, Real Madrid began to try to control the ball and suppress the rhythm. In this transition process, Modric and Kroos played a huge role.
