Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man! - Chapter 349

c349 I will always let everyone see a better me

It is difficult for such a rough attack to pose a real threat to Navas. Near the end of the first half, the first incident that could change the overall trend of the game occurred.

Silva’s dismissal undoubtedly disrupted Pergone’s initial plan and deployment, and also caused Manchester City’s frontcourt formation to infinitely shift to 442, but only Ding Ding was left at the ball point.

This also means that if Real Madrid strangles Tintin, Manchester City’s offense will cease to exist. The trend in the second half also proved this.

The Manchester City formation pictured above is actually somewhat inaccurate.

In fact, in the second half, Akun’s position was further back, and his threat was significantly reduced after more retreats.

And Iheanacho is obviously not used to such a big scene, so his effect is not that big after playing.

In the first half, because there was no space and the defense was relatively deep, it can be said that Benzema did not play even 30% of his role.

And when Benzema came off the field in the second half, Real Madrid’s lack of attacking power could reflect Benzema’s role.

Due to the lack of a fulcrum in the frontcourt, neither Jese, Vazquez, Bale, nor Marcelo can make good use of this space to attack Manchester City.

In the second half, Manchester City’s offense basically turned rough, and attempts to attack the opponent’s defense with direct through balls or crosses from the side had little effect on Real Madrid’s defense. It can be seen in the picture that Manchester City basically had no success in passing in front of the penalty area and passing through the ball after halftime. The few successes came mostly from the breakthroughs of Tintin and Navas.

One result of the disappearance of Manchester City’s offensive threat is that Real Madrid can play the football they are familiar with.

It can be seen that Real Madrid’s main method in the second half is to start the attack from the left (from Marcelo, Kroos or the Magic Flute who switched here), and then attract Manchester City to deploy heavy defense forces on their right through a wide range Transfer the ball to Bale, Vazquez or Carvajal on your right.

Sometimes Bale will break through from his usual left-back position, then cut inside to find the space between Jese and Vazquez.

This tactic is not unsuccessful. If it weren’t for Joe Hart’s superb performance in front of the goal, Real Madrid would definitely be able to score at least one away goal in the away game.

In the first half, except for Cross’s 6 times, the next four were all from Manchester City.

In the second half… Kroos and Magic Flute don’t need to fight back to talk about substitution adjustments. Both sides had to make a forced substitution around halftime, and the players replaced this time played similar roles.

Jese’s performance in this game is really paving the way for the next generation Vazquez to rise to the top. Both the offensive and defensive ends are unsatisfactory. Iheanacho is still young and excusable. As for the second substitution, Pergone has no second choice at all (Delph? Are you sure you’re not kidding me?), and Qi Zu only has James Ronaldo and Isco.

There is no problem with the timing of the replacement, and there is no problem with the selection in theory. The timing of Qi Zu’s second heat exchange is questionable.

It’s true that Real Madrid shouldn’t make substitutions when their offensive is at its peak, but when that momentum begins to weaken, injecting fresh strength in time is a good way to maintain it.

Obviously, although Ronaldo and Isco are not suitable for such a tactical system, at least Ronaldo will play a greater role than Jese or Isco.

When he replaced Kroos near the end of the game and failed to continue the attack, he allowed the opponent to seize several opportunities to counterattack, threatening the goal and causing Carvajal to receive a yellow card. This effect can only be said to be negative. qualified. Let’s talk about a few people below: Navas: Natal’s reputation is well-deserved. Carvajal: If there was no yellow card in the end, then this game would be perfect.

Of course, that yellow card wasn’t his fault. Pepe: Ignoring the shot that sent Joe Hart to immortality, Pepe’s entire performance could have been almost 9.5 or even 10 points. For Iheanacho and Akun, the limit can be said to be world-class. Ramos: Facing the second best shot in the game, he also missed it.

Others, world-class Kroos: Master of midfield rhythm, this game achieved a balance of offense and defense, which made people see the shadow of Long Ge. Modric: Without him and Kroos, then Perez will respond more actively Real Madrid’s defense, this will also cause problems on the defensive end before Real Madrid’s offense starts. Vazquez: And there is no doubt that the first substitute on the striker.

In this game, whether he was breaking through the points and running or returning to defend and counterattack, he did a good job. Bell: His playing style is limited, but in the second half, he still showed some things that a superstar should have. Joe Hart:

A tribute to Saint Hart (this is Hart, this is obviously Harry Potter!)

Tintin: Real Madrid had a serious problem, but they were still constrained by the opponent’s defense in the second half.

For their own reasons, both sides played very conservatively, and the result was that the minimum requirements of both sides were met.

Of course, it is a very boring and ugly game for the audience. Manchester City followed the same idea as they did against Paris, strengthening the defense in the midfield (not a bus, you can see a lot of high-position pressing) and waiting for the opponent to make mistakes. Mangala was replaced by Kompany in the starting lineup, and nothing else changed. However, Silva’s injury has dealt a huge blow to Manchester City. I guess Peregrine wants to wait until a certain period of time before he can exert his strength. After all, it is home court. However, Silva’s fate also ruined this plan, so he had to fight to the end.

Perhaps because of Ronaldo’s injury, or perhaps because they didn’t want to repeat the tragedy of the away game against Wolfsburg, Real Madrid played very conservatively. When Manchester City got the ball to attack, all the players retreated to their own half to defend. It was not until the end that Jesusko was replaced and created several good opportunities, but Manchester City still retained the home court with Saint Hart.

The current situation is not optimistic for Manchester City, after all, they will face a complete BBC at the Bernabeu in the next round. We can only hope to maintain a good defensive level, Silva can return in time, and De Bruyne’s counterattack will be more powerful, after all, Real Madrid can’t retreat to their own half with 11 players.

There is no need to make too many changes in tactics, just play like this, it’s best to grasp the counterattack, and if you can’t grasp it, you must defend well. At worst, you can take a penalty kick, and at worst, you can go home. There is nothing to be afraid of. But you must be fully prepared mentally. The test you receive at the Bernabeu is definitely not at the same level as at the Etihad.

From the perspective of the intensity and viewing of the game, Manchester City and Real Madrid played like a pile of shit in this game.

Neither side had many effective attacks, and the shooting data was not good. Real Madrid did not have a counterattack like mercury pouring down the ground, and Manchester City did not have the fast pace of the English style of play. The game made people drowsy.

In short, this game is simply incomparable with Atletico Madrid’s home game against Bayern last night! From a competitive perspective, it can only be said that both sides have temporarily found each other’s weaknesses and curbed each other’s vital points, so that neither side can find a good way to score.

Hart is finally no longer a background board this time. His performance is excellent and worthy of praise. After all, the European Cup is coming, and England also needs a good goalkeeper.

The highlight of the game is Zidane’s pants. He really needs a tailor who can sew good pants. From the perspective of winning the championship, this 0-0 game may be a better result for both sides.

After all, we have reached the semi-finals, and there are only 180 minutes left before the final. No one wants to take too many risks. After all, the game is 180 minutes!

Real Madrid did not score away goals. Returning to the home court, they must hope to play a good defensive counterattack. It is still doubtful whether Ronaldo can play at home, and Benma, the front-court weapon, is also injured.

Manchester City has injured Silva and Yaya Toure is not on the field. How to bring out the creativity in the frontcourt is a serious problem for Manchester City.

In the 90 minutes of this game, if you say it is good, you will definitely be beaten.

But I think a concept that needs to be made clear is that not good-looking does not mean low level.

On the contrary, the technical and tactical levels shown by both sides in this game are relatively high.

1. Game mentality. Real Madrid capsized at Wolfsburg’s home in the last round, and they were obviously much more careful in this game. The most obvious one is Lucas, who replaced Ronaldo. He was almost invisible in the offensive end in the first half, but the post-match statistics showed that the running distance was not short. Manchester City is even more determined to counterattack: it is best to steal one, and if you can’t steal, you can’t lose the ball.

Especially after Silva was accidentally injured and left the field, Aguero was basically the only one left in the frontcourt struggling.

2. Tactical arrangement. Neither side is actually a ball-controlling team. They prefer to counterattack quickly after pressing the ball, using the speed of the front court (Bale or Kun) and the precise passing of the midfielders to quickly tear open the opponent’s defense.

This game reminded me of the NBA Finals ten years ago, when the Spurs played the Pistons, and the look and feel were very similar. Separately, Real Madrid still used the speed of Bale and Marcelo to attack and then seek crosses, but after Benzema left the court, the substituted Jesse did not have the ability to serve as an offensive fulcrum, and the scene was a bit ugly for a while.

Fortunately, the physical strength of Manchester City players gradually decreased, and K8+Modi fully controlled the midfield, which led to several opportunities later. Manchester City’s offense in this game basically had no highlights, which also added a bit of danger to their journey to the Bernabeu in the next round. In addition to the breakthrough in the opening stage against the gap left behind by Marcelo’s assists, and several front-court set pieces, they basically did not get any decent opportunities. Aguero was sandwiched by Master Pei and Shui Ye, and there was nothing he could do.

3. Personal performance. Manchester City’s best player is undoubtedly Hart, who saved several close-range shots from Real Madrid, especially Pepe’s shot, which was amazing. Of course, Otamendi and Kompany’s central defender combination also worked very hard, but they were obviously exhausted near the end, which is a hidden danger.

I think Real Madrid’s best player is Pepe. Although he is almost the oldest player on the field, he can assist, make up for the defense, and face Messi’s husband (wrong). Although he received a yellow card, the foul was blamed on Benzema, oh no, it was all because Marcelo pressed too deep and couldn’t come back. Other bright spots are Casemiro, the single midfielder in the midfield is tough enough, and the fighting is very active and the effect is very good.

4. Prediction of the second round: I saw the news today that Ronaldo may not be able to play in the next game, and Benzema may also be absent. Of course, I don’t know if it is a smokescreen.

If BBC really only has Guava left, I am quite optimistic that Manchester City will advance to the finals, and the score of the second round will be 1:1. In other words, it can be forced to be 55-5.

This match was like a fight between two masters in a martial arts movie. The two players circled around for a long time before finally trying to use two moves. As for what exciting moves will be in the future, let’s look forward to the second round.

Sporting Lisbon played aggressively, with strong individual skills and strong self-confidence. Everyone on the field dared to make moves and passed and controlled the ball well.

This style of play, combining individual skills with short, quick passes in a small area, should be very good when playing against Dortmund. The defense against Real Madrid is very targeted, especially when BBC has more than two people around each player who gets the ball. Real Madrid’s frontcourt connection speed is not fast enough, and they will be surrounded when they get the ball. Bale is in the best condition, with sharp breakthroughs, and is strictly guarded.

Ronaldo has actually lost his absolute speed when breaking through.

Benzema is in poor condition, and his ball control and breakthrough are inefficient.

Among the players who came on, James Rodriguez has excellent footwork, and the key is that his vision is also very good. He can see the running positions of teammates in the distance at a glance. What is rare is that he does not need too much adjustment, and he can find the empty space he sees very accurately by passing the ball quickly.

Lucas has strong breakthrough ability and fast speed, which has increased Real Madrid’s offensive speed, but he still needs to practice crossing.

Morata has good footwork, reasonable ball control, and strong ability to seize opportunities. When Benzema is not in good condition, Morata deserves more time. BBC has not recovered to its best form, Bale still needs to practice his right foot cross, Benzema is playing with a scapegoat, and Ronaldo is no longer the omnipotent Ronaldo.

What the hell is Martins in Lisbon? Marcelo hasn’t been so explosive for many years, and neither Messi nor Robben has ever exploded so badly.

Of course, Real Madrid’s momentum also came after Martins of the opponent left the field. The defender can finally play as a winger, and Morata’s impact also makes the opponent’s defense line stretched. James’ left foot is still sexy, and his shortcomings are also obvious. Ronaldo’s free kick seems to have improved slightly under Zidane’s training. Zidane is tough, there is nothing he can do.

It is obvious that Real Madrid, as the defending champion, is not focused enough when facing Lisbon, which is slightly weaker at home.

Before Cesar scored, Real Madrid players were generally oppressive and did not have many tactics.

Benzema basically did not have many touches and performances. Ronaldo performed normally, and the free kick at the last critical moment showed his calmness and courage after winning the European Cup.

In the first half, Bale played well. Although he didn’t score or have good chances, his high-level breakthroughs and wide-ranging runs on the wing still posed a certain threat.

Klose was average and didn’t have a brilliant performance. When the frontcourt attack was blocked, Marcelo was too obviously restricted by Martins, and there were not many or good crosses after breakthroughs on the wing.

This made Real Madrid have no particularly good opportunities (except for Ronaldo’s goal post). On the other hand, Lisbon, I think they played very well.

The players have solid skills at their feet, and their wing cooperation and personal abilities have created many opportunities, and their defense is also quite good. Personally, I think it was a very wrong decision to replace Martins.

Because he was like a nail stuck in the Real Madrid defense line, making the Real Madrid defense line dare not press too hard.

Especially when Real Madrid replaced Morata and Lucas, it was obvious that Real Madrid’s offense accelerated. Zidane’s substitutions in this game were very targeted and clear.

In the first leg of the 16/17 Champions League semi-finals, the 3-0 result made Real Madrid the dominant side in this series, and since entering the Champions League knockout stage, Real Madrid has won all the first-leg games.

“Madrid does not allow such a powerful person to exist.”

This may be the line Simeone has always wanted to say. 4 shots, 1 shot on target, this is not a weakness of Atletico Madrid, Simeone is looking forward to defeating the giants in the same city with few opportunities.

However, this time Simeone’s team was crushed by this Madrid bull again.

Cristiano Ronaldo continued his hot form against Bayern Munich, picked up the magic hat again, and broke through the gate guarded by Obarak three times.

No one knows why Ronaldo waited until the knockout stage to break all the records. In the group stage, Ronaldo only scored two goals. In the knockout stage, he first broke the 100-goal mark in the European war, and also broke the 100-goal mark in the Champions League, surpassing Real Madrid legend Di Stefano to become the player with the most goals in the Champions League semi-finals, setting a record of consecutive hat tricks in the knockout stage, and scoring double-digit goals in the Champions League for six consecutive seasons…

Messi, who was eliminated, may watch Ronaldo overtake in the Champions League scoring list and become the Champions League Golden Boot again.

After scoring the third goal, Ronaldo made a request to the Bernabeu fans.

“I hope the fans will stop booing me. I will always show everyone the best of myself.”

After defeating Bayern in the quarterfinals, Ronaldo asked the home fans not to boo him, because before that, Ronaldo only scored two goals in the group stage of the Champions League, and the quarterfinals became a watershed for Ronaldo this season.

The Bernabeu was too harsh on Ronaldo before. Now fans finally realize that although Ronaldo cannot avoid the objective laws of his sports career, even if he drops down a level, he is still better than 99% of the players in the world. They should no longer use the peak standards to demand Ronaldo, and should not care that Ronaldo has “only” scored 20 goals in La Liga so far – he has saved the goals for more important games.

If Real Madrid finally reaches the final, even if Ronaldo does not score again, it cannot be denied that Ronaldo gave Real Madrid the opportunity to reach the top stage of Europe again.

The 32-year-old Ronaldo is indeed different from the 22-year-old. In this game, he touched the ball 50 times, only more than Benzema in the Real Madrid team.

Ronaldo can no longer fight alone, but learn to rely on the strength of his teammates.

He realized this when he accepted the Golden Ball last year: “I must thank all my teammates, the national team and Real Madrid, all those who helped me win this individual award.”

If Ronaldo wins the award again this year, I’m afraid he will feel the same way.

Ronaldo can show his strength as the Ballon d’Or winner on the stage, which is inseparable from the three men behind him – Bai Ran, Casemiro, and Luka Modric.
