Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man! - Chapter 388

c388 Only Real Madrid can defend the Champions League!

Real Madrid lost patience under the siege, which is the biggest reliance of the weak in the confrontation between the strong and the weak.

The weak will not be anxious, he knows that his ability is a little worse, he stabilizes the defense, and a draw is a victory, while the strong have higher aspirations and carry higher expectations. It is a common sense that the strong want to score and win. This is like a knife hanging over the heads of Real Madrid players, and the tip of the knife is aimed at Ronaldo. Ronaldo fired 12 shots in this game, and he was more anxious than anyone else.

He has always wanted to be the most dazzling star. Real Madrid is about to make history. The team has been unable to attack for a long time. Messi leads the scorer list with 9 goals, and Ronaldo has not scored a goal. He is anxious, so anxious that his heart is about to come out of his throat.

Ronaldo is too anxious

But among Ronaldo’s 12 shots, 4 were saved, 6 were hit away, and 2 were blocked. Ronaldo worked hard enough, but he was just short of that one shot. Either he got mixed up with garlic under his feet or was destroyed by the opponent’s defensive players.

The best player of the game was Betis goalkeeper Adam, who performed at a god-level, making 8 successful saves, including 6 blocked balls, 1 successful active attack, and 1 ball firmly held in his arms. He made no mistakes and stopped the attack of Real Madrid’s nearly 800 million players alone.

At the moment when Real Madrid was about to create a world record and leave a strong mark in history again, it was Adam, a player with a deep connection with Real Madrid, who hindered the progress of history.

Adam has played for Real Madrid since he was 10 years old. For 16 years, Adam has been fighting for the opportunity to play, but he never got his chance. In 2008, he suffered a cruciate ligament injury and was close to being reimbursed for the season. Time and injuries have affected Adam’s fate. Adam, who has never been able to gain a foothold in Real Madrid’s first team, chose to terminate his contract with Real Madrid.

Adán played for Real Madrid for 16 years

In 2013, Adán joined Cagliari in Serie A. After just two games, Adán joined Betis on a free transfer and has been playing ever since. All these intertwined factors were released four years later.

It was Adán who was booed by his hometown fans for 90 minutes, Adán who wore the Real Madrid jersey for 16 years, and Adán who grew up from an ignorant child in Real Madrid who blocked the rumbling ship of Real Madrid.

The closer the game got to the end, the more impatient Real Madrid was infiltrating the middle and turned to crazy crosses from the wing. There were 46 crosses in a game, but only 15 were successful. Real Madrid lost again. In the first five rounds, they had 2 draws and 1 loss. In the past eight seasons of La Liga champions, they had lost at most 5 games and drew at most 6 games. Real Madrid is already 7 points behind Barcelona. These 7 points do not mean the final result of the season, but it will greatly hurt the morale of Real Madrid.

The football world is so incredible. Betis, who rotated three offensive cores and gave up the game before the battle, ended Real Madrid’s 73-game scoring streak. The old Real Madrid player acted as the “executioner”. Betis also killed the giant at the last moment, defeating Real Madrid for the first time in 19 years at the Bernabeu.

Sanabria killed Real Madrid

Betis ran all over the field, and the player who scored the goal at the last moment was Sanabria°. He was able to score because Ramos turned around actively so that he was not offside. When he ran to the sidelines like a hero, not fast but full of vigor, he slid to his knees near the corner flag, with his arms hanging down, his face shining, he didn’t smile, and looked at the Real Madrid fans who kept leaving the sidelines and muttered something.

This is football, a football that makes people intoxicated and heartbreaking. Once you fall in love with it, you can never get rid of his arms.

This is the first league game played by Ronaldo after his ban was lifted this season, facing Real Betis in the 5th round of La Liga. The team’s performance was not ideal before, and after 4 rounds, it was 4 points behind its arch-rival Barcelona.

The team clearly needed a backbone. The fans called his name, and he also put on his coat and wanted to take action, but the team actually lost, and was defeated at the home stadium.

Ronaldo’s anger was probably more intense than in the stands in the previous rounds.

Yes, Ronaldo is the captain of the Galaxy Battleship, commanding the operation and ups and downs of the ship.

But no matter how smart the helmsman is, he is afraid of the oars being anchored. The performance of several key figures in the team: Casemiro, Carvajal, and Varane is really worrying. In contrast, Saraflia, Perez, Fabian and goalkeeper Adan in Real Betis all performed fiercely.

In the comparison of the high and low states of the two sides, it seems that the absolute strength suppression is not so thorough.

When watching this game, I couldn’t help but think of the game between Barcelona and the newly promoted Getafe last weekend. On paper, it was a crushing game, but it was a 55-50 game.

The similarities between the two games are that the enthusiasm and state of the whole team can definitely make up for the gap in strength.

This is the wonderful part of football games. Strength is not absolute, and big names do not have halos. The weak team dares to face the strong team with strong spiritual strength. There are 11 people on the field, and they fight with real swords and guns: hardness, running, endurance, and interception. Only then can we have the heroic stories of these warriors killing the dragon.

Both sides can run well throughout the game, and they go back and forth. Betis, who challenged as a guest, was not afraid to attack Real Madrid. It was a bit risky, but the effect was surprisingly good. They rarely organized attacks comfortably throughout the game. Often, as soon as they got the ball, they would sprint back like a group of people, and the ball possession rate could reach 40%. It can be seen that Real Madrid passively gave them a lot of opportunities.

So after a game, it is very rare for a single player on either side to keep the ball. As soon as the players of Real Madrid or Betis get the ball, they become the target of public criticism. If they don’t pass the ball immediately, a bunch of people will scramble for it. Betis has implemented this very well.

And Casemiro did these things within 3 minutes of the start: one pass error, one interception in the backcourt, and one clearance error. In the second and a half minutes, it was his mistake that made Betis’s backcourt counterattack smooth. Camarasa’s advancement, coupled with Varane’s rash scramble, Saraflia came to the meeting alone.

Varane, as a player, is in good shape, needless to say. When he runs, his crotch is full of wind, and when he chases the ball, he can make the opponent tremble. As the successor of Pepe, his defense is extremely strong. But the weakness is also obvious. The ability to defend in the front is always a little bit short, and the sense of position is also worse than that of the top defenders.

So this time, Betis was somewhat accurate in Real Madrid’s strong attack on the right, plus Carvajal’s habitual forward insertion, Sanabria in the 2nd minute, Tello in the 14th minute, etc., after a few rounds of attack and defense, Real Madrid’s formation was messed up.

In terms of the direction of the shot, it can still be seen that Betis’s shots from the left are as high as 42%.

In addition, Betis’s Sarafria’s performance last night even overwhelmed the big stars on the opposite side. He explained to us the role of the functional No. 9 in the counterattack. Cooperate with the two wing players of his own side to grab the ball, control the ball after intercepting the ball, attract defense, pass the ball diagonally, run again, and stand in the middle as a fulcrum to cooperate with the front midfielder who inserted.

Real Madrid also has such a role player-Benzema, but it’s a pity that he was injured. Real Madrid, who chose the same tactics in this campaign, may be in dire need of such a player.

After 90 minutes, Real Madrid’s active attacks were mostly on both sides, and Beller, Ronaldo, and a group of fierce players in the midfield could all rush forward. There were also many chances in the areas near the goal on both sides, but no goal was scored.

The reason was bad luck and the opponent’s goalkeeper was brave; on the other hand, it was also difficult to have a role player who could lead the attack in the front. Throughout the game, Real Madrid felt a little lacking in absolute chances. Compared with Benzema, Ronaldo and Beller were not suitable for such simple and hard work. (In other words, Benzema should be blamed for Real Madrid’s loss. (Fog))

On the other hand, Betis’s skillful passing, powerful blood, deep and local continuous attacks were all able to hit the target.

In the final moments, the game was played with great openness and closeness. Both sides, who were exhausted, missed players. Before the goal in the 92nd minute, Real Madrid gave the opponent a clear sky in front of the penalty area. Barragan made a decisive pass, and Saraflia scored a header, but the one who missed him was Ramos, who was the implementer of Zidane’s metaphysics and habitually appeared after 90 minutes.

Great players like Ronaldo and Messi, and strong teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​always “accidentally” lose to so-called weak teams – didn’t Barcelona lose to Alaves at the beginning of the season last season? In fact, we who have watched football for many years, combined with the entire process of football history, will find that these accidents are actually reasonable in competitive sports.

Every season, from the beginning to the end of each game, the great strong teams will only face waves of fierce attacks from weak teams, like a round-robin challenge. They may be firm and resolute, or face death with courage, or swallow up thousands of miles. If the strong teams are a little slack in morale, they may lose their city.

It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it. It is easier to be strong and weak, and the offensive and defensive forces are different. This may be the awareness that the teams that are superior to the strong must be prepared for.

First of all, I won’t comment on Nadal. The goal he lost has nothing to do with him. Let’s start with the four players in the back line, Shuiye, Varane, Nacho, and Dasha. With Marcelo Q injured, is this back line the best that Real Madrid can come up with? But judging from the on-the-spot performance, it’s really scumbag.

Without listing the data, I’ll talk about the intuitive feeling. Nacho didn’t know what he was doing throughout the game. It’s a good thing to boldly insert assists, but he didn’t cut inside or make high-quality crosses. What was the purpose of inserting?

I was intoxicated by those unknown crosses. Shuiye is indeed a real center forward. Several attacks were very threatening, but shouldn’t he have discussed the positioning with Varane? How many times was he hit from behind, and it was obvious that he would not be able to chase the speed enough, so should he appropriately reduce the number of times he entered the opponent’s penalty area?

Not to mention Varane, I didn’t really watch Dasha; I don’t know if it was due to injury or lack of running-in with new teammates, how many simple pass errors did he make?

The opponent’s counterattack made them stunned. The sharp assists in the past were no longer seen. The defense also declined. Basically, there was no highlight except for fouls.

Secondly, in order to save strength for the Champions League, the midfielder, 14K, Casemiro, Ceballos, had a slightly dull overall performance. Although Ceballos scored two goals, he was still a lot behind Modric and A Kuan in organizing the offense. 14K had no problem with dribbling and breaking through, but was not good at organizing the offense. Casemiro was a full-time defender, so this midfield configuration seemed fine on the surface, but the support for the striker was insufficient.

Finally, in order to save strength for the Champions League, the forward line is President + Vazquez. This configuration is obviously to let Ronaldo find shooting boots. Asensio and Vazquez are responsible for delivering ammunition, but President is unlucky (the goal frame and President are in conflict). Secondly, the attack focus is too obvious, and Ronaldo is not the kind of center forward who stands with his back to the goal. He is really not strong enough in the opponent’s penalty area. Asensio may have hit the “rookie wall”. When the opponent began to study him, his performance was not as eye-catching as at the beginning of the season. Vazquez is a typical hard-working person, and we can’t expect him to contribute more.

So Real Madrid played stumblingly throughout the game, and there was basically no smooth cooperation. In addition, they were eager to win, but they were hit by many counterattacks by the opponent. If the opponent was not too weak + Nadal performed well, it would be a question whether they could win this game.

Rotten: Bai Ran’s three consecutive Champions League titles in Real Madrid are more valuable than any honor of Messi.

Roten believes that although Messi has won four Champions League titles, the value is very low. He won the titles by lying down. He was basically a substitute and not a main player.

Bai Ran is the main player or even the star player in any team, especially in Real Madrid’s three consecutive Champions League titles. This value can be said to be higher than any honor of Messi, including the World Cup. Think about it, Messi won the championship by the referee’s penalty kick. Without Di Maria, it would be difficult for Messi to enter the top 16.

Although there was a component of luck in Messi’s three consecutive Champions League titles, the strength of that Real Madrid was also very strong. After the Champions League was reformed, only Real Madrid could defend the Champions League title, and only Real Madrid could win three consecutive titles.

Such an achievement cannot be explained by luck alone.

Their strength is also very strong. The team’s configuration on three lines was top-notch at the time. The forward line had C Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema, the midfield had Bai Ran, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, Isco, and the back line had Varane, Carvajal, Ramos and others. The lineup suffered fewer injuries in those years, and the whole team was in good condition. Coupled with some luck, they were able to win three consecutive championships in history.

The reason why it was questioned was that Real Madrid’s performance in the league in those years was not very good, and there was no distinctive style of play. During the three consecutive Champions Leagues, it only won the league championship in the second year, because it was considered to have a lucky component, but to be able to reach the top of Europe, Real Madrid’s strength is still very strong.

Real Madrid’s three consecutive Champions Leagues is a great achievement, even greater than Barcelona’s six crowns, because the importance and difficulty of winning the Champions League are top-notch. Many teams have invested heavily, but have never been able to win the Champions League title, but Real Madrid not only won it, but also won three in a row, which is very difficult.

Moreover, Real Madrid achieved the results under the leadership of rookie coach Zidane. Although Zidane was extremely brilliant as a player, he was still a rookie as a coach at that time. It was very rare for him to lead Real Madrid to achieve such results.

At that time, Real Madrid’s opponents were also very strong. Whether it was Juventus, Atletico Madrid or Liverpool, they were all very difficult to deal with, which also shows the value of Real Madrid’s championship.

Since Mourinho took over, Real Madrid has been working hard for several championships in recent years. Mourinho’s tempering of Real Madrid, the beating of the team’s forwards, including Ramos’s transformation, have laid the foundation for these three consecutive championships.

But the Champions League results stopped at the semi-finals, the league was not satisfactory, and the locker room conflicts led to Mourinho’s resignation.

After Ancelotti took office, Real Madrid won the tenth championship and the King’s Cup, and then won 33 consecutive games across seasons.

The so-called king’s temperament and the heart of the champion were cultivated at this time.

The relationship in the locker room eased, Mo officially took over, Nadal took over the No. 1 position, and the tactics began to revolve around technical players such as Kroos and Isco. This is what Ancelotti brought to Real Madrid.

But he didn’t like rotation, and young people such as Varane and Ilaramendi rarely had opportunities. In addition, Ancelotti left the team in the second season with nothing. It was unexpected but reasonable.

When Bessie took over, he first tried to support Bale to take over and reused Casemiro in the midfield, but Bale was troubled by the soleus muscle and the established tactics could not be implemented.

Almost all the first few league games of the season ended with a 1-goal advantage. Coupled with the inevitable defeat in the national derby, Bessie’s dismissal was inevitable.

Perhaps Bessie was the stepping stone arranged by Florentino for Zidane.

There was almost no opposition to Zidane’s appointment.

When the league was hopeless and the King’s Cup was eliminated, Zidane took office, which made fans not have too much expectations for his first season.

So the eleventh championship was definitely a surprise for Real Madrid fans.

The eleventh championship, of course, we have to thank God for his favor, the lucky draw, the offside goal in the final, and Juanfran’s shot on the post in the penalty shootout. Although it doesn’t seem to have much gold content, it has brought the joy of Real Madrid fans.

With the eleventh championship winning lineup as the team, Jesse was sold, and Asensio and Morata were taken back.

Real Madrid in the twelfth championship season can definitely be regarded as the existence that dominates Europe.

Zidane brought many changes to Real Madrid’s forward line, Ronaldo’s transformation and timely cold storage, the rotation of Team A and Team B, and then Ronaldo’s outbreak in the knockout rounds. Real Madrid, which entered the final, made people feel unstoppable.

This is indeed the case. Bale sat on the bench and James Rodriguez was not on the roster!

In seven years, as a melingge, I deeply felt the horror of Real Madrid for the first time.

Beat Juventus by a large margin, the first defending champion after the Champions League reform was born!

Last summer, the defending champion’s “B team” was divided up by various teams.

Pepe, Morata, James Rodriguez and Danilo, these stable super substitutes left, and a few young people who are not sure whether they can take on the big task were bought.

The problem of the aging of the central axis has not been solved, and the role players are constantly lost, which has laid the groundwork for the collapse of La Liga this season.

After defeating Barcelona twice in the Spanish Super Cup, President Pique said that for the first time in nine years, he felt that Barcelona was not as good as Real Madrid.

But it is common sense that prosperity must decline.
