Chapter 442 Broken Football Rhythm
‘Bang! ’
When Di Maria and Thiago were fighting for each other's feet at high speed, no one gave in. The two collided violently. After getting up from the ground, Thiago continued to run as if nothing had happened, but Di Maria's eyes showed a little fear.
Only 30 seconds into the game, Real Madrid people could feel the difference between Atletico Madrid now and before.
In the 2nd minute, Benzema made a transition after Zhuoyang took the ball. Di Maria met the ball outside the top of the arc and shot low. However, facing Atletico Madrid defender Diego Godin's teeth-grinding tackle, Angel Di obviously hesitated and could also be called a coward. , hastily dodged and stabbed him, no threat at all.
One minute later, Zhuoyang adjusted the ball in the midfield, and Gabi entangled him like an octopus. Seeing that Zhuoyang was about to get rid of him with the speed of his movements, Gabi did not hesitate to pull him, and the two fell to the ground together.
Such fouls are very small and will not hurt anyone. They will basically not attract yellow cards, but they are very effective. They are quite successful in blocking the opponent's rhythm. They are a smart foul and an uncompromising confrontation.
These are the biggest changes Simeone has brought to Atletico Madrid. In terms of technology and tactics, just this spirit is enough to change a team's appearance.
Everyone knows the importance of spirit and style to the team, but not every coach can create this for the team. It requires the coach's strong personal charm, strong appeal and ability to bewitch.
To put it bluntly, Simeone is the kind of head coach who can give the team a boost. He himself stands on the sidelines and takes a large stimulant, a human-shaped aphrodisiac.
Constantly using fouls to block opponents, Atletico Madrid is good at breaking up. The core of Mourinho's tactics is to restrict separation, so you can imagine what today's Madrid derby will be like. The game will be played intermittently, and the rhythm of the stadium will be terrible.
Perhaps some fans at the scene will find another way to see the blood from the mud, but for the fans in front of the TV, the game has no beauty at all, and it is a good medicine to help sleep.
In such a game, only scoring is the only highlight.
In the 21st minute, when Benzema was running horizontally to restrain him, Perea pinned him down outside the top of the arc. Real Madrid got a free kick about 25 meters away from the goal.
Atletico Madrid's broken defense is like this. There is no difference between having the ball and not having the ball in their eyes. They can foul anyone in any corner of the court as long as they need to. When necessary, he will not hesitate to overthrow the opponent's head coach and even the referee.
Zhuoyang once again used a radical money transaction to give the right to take the free kick to Ronaldo. Since increasing the risk weight, Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring rate on free kicks has greatly increased, and correspondingly, the income of the 'No. 18 Fund' has dropped sharply.
This time, Ronaldo still didn't miss. He used the iconic elevator chop of his right foot to blast the football into the goal. The long Atletico Madrid wall did not exist in his eyes. As for Courtois, who is that?
1:0, Real Madrid scored the leading goal, and Zhuo Yang's charity fund received nothing.
Cristiano Ronaldo is an extremely confident and egotistical person. He now occasionally secretly murmurs: Zhuoyang always gives me free kicks to kick. I'm afraid it's not for money. It's possible that he is not sure about kicking it himself for fear of embarrassment.
But he didn't dare to ask Zhuo Yang openly, fearing that the dog would get angry and the business would no longer be so good.
.
Although the score is ahead, such a game does prevent the stars from playing smoothly and elegantly. Everyone is struggling with stumbling, and Kaká is no exception.
Kaka is not afraid of Atletico Madrid's broken defense. Would a man who has proudly won Serie A care about you? The young master is not soft, and he is never afraid of confronting his opponents, but in such an occasion, he is naturally unable to use the deep assault that he is best at.
Even idiots like Zhuo Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo can't compete, let alone Kaka, the master of troubled times.
Apart from Ronaldo's goal, Real Madrid really has no other bright spots and no other outstanding figures. Especially Kaka among the three lined up, he seems to have done nothing except kicking back the pass to Zhuo Yang.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria can still use the wings to make a splash from time to time.
Kaka, who was stuck in the middle, was almost submerged.
At halftime, Mourinho replaced Kaká with Ozil. If we only analyze the local effect of the formation, this substitution is impeccable. In the first half, Kaka basically lost his individual role in the face of Atletico Madrid's broken method.
But from an overall perspective of Real Madrid, this substitution is undoubtedly Mourinho's failure, and it is at least worthy of careful discussion.
The essence of Real Madrid's tactics lies in the midfield, which is why Mourinho must firmly fix such a Zhuo Yang in the midfielder. For other head coaches, the forward position is Zhuo Yang's second choice.
Facing an Atletico Madrid like today, no matter how awkward Real Madrid plays, the midfielder must be tit-for-tat and must not be soft, otherwise the entire formation will become a building collapse.
Zhuoyang and Alonso are of course tough guys, even if they are facing King Kong, they will not be soft. Among the first three people, Ronaldo has never been afraid of hard steel, but he will not take the initiative to go to his opponent because his duty is to score goals.
Di Maria was a little soft, at least a little soft today. After being beaten hard by Atletico Madrid several times, he moved closer and closer to the side, and tried to avoid kicks as much as possible.
In this case, although Kaká did nothing on the surface, Mr. Yu who dared to take the initiative to fight with the bayonet played a good balancing role. He allowed Real Madrid to stand firm in the throat position in the middle of the frontcourt 30 to 40 meters away. Let Zhuoyang fight left and right to connect the attack line at the shortest distance.
After Kaka went down, Real Madrid's balance at this point was broken. Speaking of softness, the little daughter-in-law-like E Dayan is undoubtedly the softest one in Real Madrid.
Even if Kaka has to be replaced, replacing him with Detu or Khedira will make Real Madrid stronger in the midst of fragmentation. But Ozil is not good at it. His ability to pass threatening balls with wide eyes is better than Kaka, but he is like a kite, suitable for flamboyant in the wind, but not good at breathing a fresh breath in the mud.
Modern football formations are interconnected among individuals. Once the balance pursued is broken, the formation operation will be like a broken gear in a car gearbox. No matter how high-end and famous the four tires are, they cannot make the car run smoothly.
Whether it is Mourinho's restrictions or Simeone's brokenness, they are essentially trying to break the opponent's balance.
In the 50th minute, Ozil gave in and allowed Atletico Madrid to form a numerical advantage on the left side. After Diego pulled the ball to the side, Shui Ye hurriedly stepped forward to cover the defense. Adrian's first cross made Shui Ye go over his head. , Falcao nodded the ball from behind the penalty area, and the football touched down and rebounded from Casillas' hand and then entered the net.
At 1:1, Atletico Madrid equalized the score with extremely concise and bright offense, and this was just the beginning.
