The outcome of a football match is closely related to the team’s offensive situation. A team with strong offensive strength can often control the situation of the game, dominate the rhythm of the game, and thus win.
First of all, in a football match, the side that gets more offensive opportunities also gets more opportunities to shoot and score.
More offensive opportunities mean a greater chance of winning. Even if the strength is weaker, as long as the offense is strong enough, it is possible to defeat a strong team.
I remember that in the 2010 World Cup group stage, Switzerland lost to Chile 0-1. Switzerland had a ball possession rate of 69%, 26 shots to 8 shots, and had complete control of the ball, but lost because of ineffective offense. The more shots in a football match, the higher the winning rate.
Secondly, the side with a strong offensive momentum can often dominate the rhythm on the field and put the opponent into a passive position.
If a team has a single offensive means and a slow offensive rhythm, it is difficult to put pressure on the opponent. On the contrary, a varied and fast-paced offense can disrupt the opponent’s rhythm and force the opponent’s defense to retreat again and again. The team that controls the rhythm on the field is more likely to open up the situation and create flaws in the opponent’s defense.
For example, Barcelona often oppresses the opponent with continuous offense, forcing the opponent to run around.
In addition, a strong offensive momentum will also put great psychological pressure on the opponent.
Faced with threats one after another, the players of the defending team will inevitably panic and make mistakes, which creates more opportunities for the attacking side. On the contrary, if a team is on defense for most of the 90 minutes, morale and physical fitness will be affected, and the offensive ability will decline, which is not conducive to winning.
Of course, it is not enough to just attack, you also need to have good offensive organization and strength conversion capabilities.
For example, some teams are good at using long passes to counterattack, and they may score goals by quickly organizing counterattacks.
Some teams pay more attention to the accumulation of delicate techniques, which requires a lot of ball possession accumulation.
For another example, the German team is good at quickly switching to offense after defense, and will take advantage of the opponent’s momentary negligence to attack the opponent’s goal.
In summary, in a football match, the side with a strong offensive momentum will take the lead by striving for more shooting opportunities, controlling the rhythm on the field, and putting psychological pressure on the opponent.
Of course, effective offensive organization and strength conversion are also needed to convert offensive advantages into goals.
It can be said that to a large extent, whoever takes the initiative to attack on the field is more likely to control the outcome.
Therefore, strong offensive ability is the key to determining the outcome of a football match.
Ramos made a key tackle after the opening. Ronaldo’s low shot in front of the right penalty area lacked threat. Bale made two crosses from the right and Ronaldo was intercepted and cleared by the opponent.
Martins crossed the ball to the far post in the counterattack, but Dost missed the ball at close range. Real Madrid had a 60% possession rate in the first 25 minutes, but made many mistakes in the attack.
Real Madrid took the lead in the 29th minute. Modric made a free kick from the right, and Ronaldo’s weak shot from 12 yards just broke through the defense, and Varane shot into the net in front of the small penalty area.
Real Madrid has scored in 21 matches against Portuguese teams in European competitions. Martins passed back from the right side of the penalty area, and Cesar’s shot from 12 yards was blocked by Ramos and hit the right post.
Football is a model of team sports, which emphasizes the role and responsibility of each player and requires everyone in the team to work for a common goal.
The spirit of unity is reflected at all levels: the tacit cooperation between team members, selfless passing and support, and unity in the face of victory and defeat.
The spirit of unity on the football field is not only the mutual assistance between players, but also brings fans and supporters together to cheer for the team they support.
Football is a competitive sport. Every game is a contest of technology, tactics and physical fitness. Players use their strength and wisdom to fight for victory.
The spirit of football is reflected in competition. Players pursue excellence, constantly surpass their limits, and fight to the last moment.
In the competition, the resilience and perseverance shown by the players are also deeply admired by people. This spirit can not only inspire the team to make continuous progress, but also stimulate everyone’s personal potential.
