Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid - Chapter 436

c425 These three men will not let Real Madrid lose!

After the match with Valencia, Real Madrid has ended its comfortable schedule recently.

Next, they will face a devilish schedule of four games in ten days, including three La Liga games and a Champions League knockout match with Dortmund.

The first to bear the brunt is Villarreal, which stands in the way of Real Madrid.

The “Yellow Submarine” has maintained strong competitiveness in La Liga in recent seasons.

In the past three seasons, they have entered the top six of La Liga, and last season they finally ranked fourth in La Liga and qualified for the Champions League play-offs.

Although in the Champions League play-offs this summer, they finally lost to Monaco 2-3 in two rounds and failed to enter the Champions League.

But now, seeing Monaco advance to the top 16 of the Champions League and lose to Manchester City 3-4 in the first round of the Champions League knockout round, the audience will understand:

It is not that Villarreal is not strong enough and does not have the strength to play in the Champions League, but that they were too unlucky to draw Monaco, which has the strength to enter the top 16 or even the top 8 of the Champions League this season, in the play-offs.

In this way, Villarreal’s loss is not unfair, and the scenes in which they played back and forth with Monaco in the play-offs are enough to prove their strength.

Real Madrid will definitely not underestimate Villarreal, which is also one of the few opponents in La Liga that can put pressure on them.

But on the day of the game on February 26, Villarreal, who was at home, still gave Real Madrid a great “surprise”.

The game was just in the ninth minute of the first half, and the central midfielder Trigros, who only scored two goals for Villarreal last season, scored a world wave from a long distance!

This 35-meter long shot from a world-class distance made Li Ang and C Ronaldo, two heavy gunners ranked at the forefront of the football world, secretly astonished.

Even when they were in the best condition, they were not sure that they could score such a wonderful goal.

As for Trigros?

If you let him speak for himself, he would have to admit that 99% of the time he chose to blindly shoot because he had no chance to pass the ball!

Villarreal was extremely lucky. They scored such a good goal at the beginning of the game, which also put the entire Real Madrid team in a very passive situation.

Counterattacks are definitely not possible. Real Madrid can only choose to press forward at this moment and try to equalize the score before the end of the first half.

But such an aggressive offensive style of play is definitely risky.

Let alone Real Madrid, even Chelsea, which had stronger defensive ability last season, could not guarantee that the opponent would not seize the opportunity to score through counterattacks.

Villarreal’s offensive ability is ranked sixth in La Liga at most, but their defensive level can squeeze into the top three in La Liga!

Yes, in this season’s La Liga, apart from Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Villarreal has the strongest defense.

Compared with them, Barcelona’s defense level is not as good.

So Villarreal’s defense level is also quite good.

Real Madrid’s heavy pressure just suits their appetite.

Villarreal shrank its formation to prevent Real Madrid’s frontcourt superstars from finding opportunities to score goals with their personal abilities, while increasing the intensity of the wing counterattack.

As a result, it lasted until the 28th minute of the first half, and Villarreal really seized another great opportunity!

Villarreal’s center forward Bakambu was very fast. After receiving a diagonal pass from his teammate during the counterattack, he quickly overtook and got rid of Casemiro’s defense.

At this time, Li Ang was chasing back quickly from the middle frontcourt. Normally, when Bakambu approached the Real Madrid penalty area, he would basically be able to catch up and intercept him.

But maybe he was afraid that Li Ang would catch up, Bakambu finally decided to shoot from a position 27 meters away from Real Madrid’s goal!

Such a volley was not difficult for Navas to save.

But when Ramos in front of him chose to use his body to block the ball out of his responsibility as a central defender, something unexpected happened!

Ramos’s thigh blocked the ball and finally refracted the football, and Navas, who had already made a save, was powerless to face the football that deviated from its trajectory!

When the football entered the net again, the small ceramic stadium suddenly became a sea of ​​celebration for Villarreal fans!

Real Madrid, playing away, fell into the first league loss crisis of the new season.

Ramos, who had done a bad thing with good intentions, pursed his lips and shook his head constantly, looking very guilty.

But at this moment, he could not take care of his emotions. Li Ang and Ronaldo, who trotted back to the midfield, had already raised their arms and cheered, boosting the morale of the whole team!

It is useless to blame yourself at this time, and being overly immersed in regret will only make the situation of the game even more irreparable.

Like Ronaldo, Li Ang chose to move forward at this moment. Only by moving forward can he make a comeback in such a critical game!

Time is very tight, but Li Ang did not choose to continue to dispatch his teammates to attack aggressively.

Real Madrid’s active attack before was not a big problem, and they also achieved corresponding results, but the final kick was always a little bit unlucky.

But the seemingly correct tactical choice is wrong in the current critical game situation, because it did not help Real Madrid get the results it deserved.

So Li Ang decided to slow down the offensive rhythm first, at least such an obvious change can reassure his teammates first.

Let them know that their core players are trying to turn the game around.

Not to mention much, at least after Li Ang made such a tactical decision, Real Madrid’s front players had more time to think and adjust.

The back players gradually put their minds at ease, no longer worrying about the threatening counterattacks and lucky shots from the opponents from time to time.

After stabilizing the situation, Li Ang chose to push the offensive line forward steadily with Modric.

Yes, it is to play steadily. Li Ang would rather the team’s offensive threat be reduced at this time than fall into the unstable defense situation again!

In this situation of minimizing mistakes and advancing steadily, Real Madrid’s technical advantage over Villarreal soon emerged.

Villarreal’s excellent defense comes from the positive attitude of their players and the excellent training and tactical construction of the coaching staff.

It is nonsense to say how outstanding the personal abilities of their back players are.

Villarreal’s players in both midfield and defense can only be regarded as mid-level in the La Liga.

The outstanding team performance they have achieved in recent seasons can be largely attributed to “team power”.

It is difficult to deal with such a team, but it is also simple.

Li Ang now chooses to advance steadily, that is, to suppress Villarreal as a whole first, and then break the situation from the local area.

When the winning point of the game changes from the overall to the comparison of the individual abilities of the players in the local area, the balance of the situation will be as much as possible towards Real Madrid.

Li Ang himself also joined the offensive penetration in the local space.

He played very patiently and kept reminding his teammates around him to be patient in looking for opportunities.

Villarreal’s defenders were thus stripped out of the system one after another by Real Madrid’s suppression tactics.

They began to feel great defensive pressure, and Li Ang would not be soft-hearted. What he is best at is misaligned offense!

When he also pulled the side and took turns bullying Villarreal’s full-backs with his two superstar wingers, Villarreal’s seemingly tough defense was finally torn open.

In the first half stoppage time, Li Ang finally seized the opportunity and received Bale’s clever pass into Villarreal’s penalty area.

Facing the central defender Victor Ruiz who rushed over to intercept, Li Ang chose to pick up the ball again. While picking up the football that had not yet landed, he also dodged Ruiz’s defense!

The next moment, Li Ang swung his left leg slightly and shot the ball!

This non-stop volley in the penalty area made Villarreal goalkeeper Asenho lose his temper!

Real Madrid finally scored a goal before the end of the first half, and did not pile up all the pressure in the second half!

During the halftime break, Ancelotti also used the short adjustment time to arrange the offense.

At the beginning of the second half, Li Ang was very active and actively advanced.

He increased the number of his dribbling, and repeatedly wanted to rely on his super personal ability to dribble directly into Villarreal’s defensive hinterland!

His offensive posture obviously annoyed Villarreal’s defensive players.

So Li Ang began to dribble the ball and then fell to the ground, and Real Madrid also got more front-court set-piece opportunities than in the first half.

Real Madrid chose to pass the ball to compete for the header in the first two set-pieces.

Benzema and Ramos each won a point, but neither of them could head the ball into the goal.

It was not until Real Madrid got the third front-court set-piece opportunity in the second half that Ronaldo stood in front of the football and signaled that he would take the free kick directly!

The pressure on him at this moment was huge, and the world did not know how many fans looked at him through the live camera.

Li Ang and his teammates ran to the front of Villarreal’s penalty area as an offensive smoke bomb.

But then, Ronaldo used a simple and unsolvable long-distance elevator ball to directly break through Villarreal’s goal! He did not let Li Ang and his team use subsequent offensive tactics!

2-2!

Real Madrid equalized the score in the 63rd minute of the second half, and completely played with momentum!

As for Villarreal, no matter how tough the players were, they couldn’t stand such a situation.

Having tasted the sweetness, Ancelotti asked Li Ang to continue to take the ball to attack Villarreal’s defense.

This move was his conspiracy, but it was too useless. Villarreal had to use foul tactics to interrupt Li Ang’s dribbling!

In the 74th minute of the second half, Villarreal’s midfielder Hotana dos Santos seemed to be a little emotional and directly pulled Li Ang to commit a foul.

Li Ang also fell to the ground again.

In the face of this set-piece opportunity on the wing, Ronaldo gave it up and Modric observed the penalty.

Li Ang once again squeezed into Villarreal’s penalty area with his teammates. Their eager attitude made the more than 20,000 fans at home a little scared!

Soon, Modric lifted the ball to the back of Villarreal’s penalty area. Li Ang and Benzema jumped up almost at the same time, directly distracting most of the defensive players!

But neither of them hit the ball in the end.

Ramos, who had been lying in ambush behind them, made a “low-altitude glide” and finally hit the ball firmly into the near corner of the goal!

At this moment, countless American fans around the world jumped in front of the TV with excitement!

Ramos, who redeemed himself, slapped his chest excitedly, roared and rushed straight to the corner flag area!

Behind him, Li Ang and C Ronaldo followed closely and hugged him excitedly!

The live camera captured the scene of the three people in the same frame very well, and at this moment, the trust of the Melcos in the three of them reached its peak!

As long as these three men are on the field at the same time, Real Madrid will never lose!
