Chapter 296: Second Round of the League! Against Celta Vigo!

"Bongonda and Aureliana are on the left and right sides."

"Daniel Voss is the attacking midfielder."

"The double defensive midfielder partners are the team's thigh Pablo Hernandez and Ladoya."

"On the back line, Honioto, Roncaglia, Cabral and Mario form a solid wall, and the last line of defense is guarded by Spanish goalkeeper Sergio Alvarez."

"The players on both sides are warming up on the field. The atmosphere on the field is very warm. Everyone is looking forward to the start of this game. The two sides have not yet fought, and the gunpowder smell has intensified. The arrow is on the string and has to be shot!"

"The second round of the season is about to start, and even I am a little excited!"

"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the game begins!"

The referee finally blew the whistle in his hand, and the second round of competition and contest in this La Liga finally started.

Real Madrid took the lead in kicking off. Forward Morata passed the ball back to the midfielder, and Modric passed the ball to Bai Ran as usual.

Every time Bai Ran holds the ball, there will be cheers from the stands. There is no doubt that Bai Ran has become the absolute darling of the Bernabeu.

Every fan and every audience is concentrating on watching how this young player from China will perform.

As soon as the game started, Real Madrid started a blitzkrieg from the right.

After holding the ball, Bai Ran made a wait-and-see gesture. The scene in front of him was in full view. His excellent vision allowed him to know everyone's position by heart. In a flash, Bai Ran made a decision to pass the ball.

With his exquisite passing skills, Bai Ran quickly found the gap in the opponent's ribs and tore through the opponent's entire defense line with a straight pass. With just one reception, one observation, and then a neat straight pass, the opponent's defense line was simply resolved.

Bale set off a storm on the right side. After receiving the ball, he broke away and broke through one after another, leaving the opponent's Honioto somewhat helpless.

Bale's footwork is not so top-notch, but it is more than enough to face this level of full-back, not to mention that Bale has not yet fully exerted his absolute speed advantage.

After a series of shaking, the opponent seemed a little tired and a little dazed. Taking advantage of this time, Bale suddenly attacked and ran directly to the edge of the penalty area. Near the bottom line of the court, the Welshman fully exerted his personal ability and opened up a space.

A cross in this area is bound to pose a great threat to the opponent.

Celta certainly knows Bale's ability, so central defender Roncaglia also came to make up for the defense.

They had already played against Real Madrid last season, when Bai Ran had already joined the galaxy battleship, and the young player who made Celta remember it again appeared in front of them today.

However, although Bai Ran also played a strong ability and strength last time, it was more of an assist. They knew the technical characteristics of Bai Ran in their hearts. His passing level was second to none, and his other abilities could only be said to be very average.

In the last confrontation between the two teams, Ronaldo was still the player who posed the greatest threat to them.

So, facing Real Madrid without Ronaldo today, Vigo Celta was in high spirits and wanted to take at least one point from Real Madrid's home court.

After all, Real Madrid, which lost Ronaldo, is like losing an arm.

But they don't know that Bai Ran's rapid progress during this period of time has made this Real Madrid no longer a stage belonging to Ronaldo alone.

Under Bai Ran's organization, dispatch and leadership, the Galaxy Battleship has evolved into a giant led by a central nervous brain, and the other limbs are very coordinated.

If the previous Real Madrid relied on the star-studded frontcourt lineup to crush, the current Real Madrid is more like a sensitive ape, with every hair on its body very agile. With Bai Ran as the brain, they have achieved extreme smoothness and silkiness in both offense and defense.

Every action is very meaningful, which is the secret of Real Madrid's success.

Every move they make on the court is not done casually.

This statement can be best verified at this moment. After Bale opened the situation on the wing, he kicked the ball and blasted it out high. There was a lot of noise in the penalty area. The ball was hoisted into the penalty area and the landing point was relatively accurate. Morata grabbed the ball in front of the goal and got the control of the ball in the first time.

After that, the Spanish striker jumped up and headed the ball, but it was slightly off target, just a little short of the goal, what a pity!

The fans couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The game was just in the second minute, and Real Madrid had a chance to open the scoring, but unfortunately they were unlucky.

It was inevitable that they missed a certain Portuguese at this moment. If that man had headed the ball, it would have probably gone in!

Real Madrid was not upset, but retreated to their position, ready for the next round of strong pounce.

Celta Vigo held the ball and organized a new attack.

4231 is a very good formation for civilian teams or team reconstruction, because they can build a double defensive midfielder, allowing a counterattack with a disconnected midfield.

The beauty of Celta Vigo lies in this.

The frontcourt uses the attacking midfielder and center forward + two sides to form a diamond attack system. When counterattacking, even if it is 4 vs. 4, the larger space will bring great pressure to the defense.

But at the same time, this style of play requires a very high ability and vision of the front midfielder to get the ball with his back to the goal. The passing success rate and through pass ability are already basic requirements.

Daniel Voss is the most suitable candidate selected by Celta Vigo from a group of players. His ability is also very extraordinary. Danny Voss, who has balanced attributes, is in the position of front midfielder. Whether it is strength, shooting, speed, passing, dribbling or defense, it is the upper middle of Spain.

It is equivalent to an all-around midfielder playing as a front midfielder. A player who is not inferior in defense is placed on the offensive line. This is a very scary thing.

However, the change of the double midfielder role can provide strong firepower support to the front offensive trio, and then form an endless offensive with the forwards. At the same time, the two full-backs can also advance to participate in the offense. At this time, the defensive task is handed over to the central defender and the double midfielder. It can be said that the changes are very rich.

At this moment, Daniel Voss is holding the ball and operating. Modric is pressing forward. Daniel Voss has a strong ability to control the ball. The superstar pounces on him and shows amazing calmness and footwork.

Daniel Voss pulled the ball horizontally to his left, leaving Modric empty-handed, and then lifted the ball forward and passed the Croatian.

Even Modric couldn't easily steal the ball in the midfield, and his skills have reached the threshold of being called "good".

At this stage, there are not many players who can pass Modric's gate. After years of training, Modric's understanding of the art of defense has deepened. Not just any player can pass Modric's level.

Although Modric is still an offensive midfielder in Real Madrid's fixed position, there is no doubt that when Bai Ran is on the field, Modric's job is to assist Bai Ran in organizing.

Mourinho praised the 4231 formation and he also had a classic discussion on it.

"If I have an iron triangle in the midfield, my team will always have an advantage when facing a team that plays in the traditional 442 style, because there is one more player in the midfield than them."

"First, start with one of the two defensive midfielders. If he is unmarked, he will have enough time to see the situation on the field. If someone is marking him closely, it means that there will be enough space for the other defensive midfielder."

"If both of them are nailed down, it means that the opponent's wingers will also retreat to participate in the defense. At this time, the two wingers will be wide open, and our wingers or full-backs can drive straight in. So when facing 442, 4231 will always have a certain advantage, a natural advantage."

This tactical idea is undoubtedly fully utilized by Celta Vigo. While waiting for the players on the wing to run, Daniel Voss has already received support in the midfield. In an instant, the entire midfield is almost full of Celta Vigo jerseys.

Bai Ran wanted to step forward to intercept, but the opponent's personnel density was too high, and this place could be turned into the opponent's control area in an instant.

With Bongonda running on the wing, Daniel Voss first passed the ball to Pablo Hernandez who was on the wing. The defensive midfielder also participated in the attack to a considerable extent.

Hernandez saw the opportunity and passed the ball forward. The ball brushed the grass and came to Bongonda's feet.

Bongonda was making waves on the left, shaking his feet in a series of steps, Bai Ran followed closely behind, and Carvajal was also coming in front of him.

Bongonda's defensive ability is almost equal to 0, and he is not superior in strength. The reason why he was selected by Celta Vigo is because he has excellent dribbling ability and speed advantage.

On the left, he shook several times and shook off Carvajal, while Bai Ran behind him was still chasing him.

This also gave Bongonda a headache.

That's not right!

He had heard of this young Chinese player before, and the two had played against each other.

If I remember correctly, this kid is just like Pirlo. In addition to his excellent overall view and superb passing skills, he should be useless.

How come he has become so fast after not seeing him for half a season?

Bai Ran's growth surprised him. This thing is not a technical thing, it is completely physical. Being able to grow to such a rapid speed in such a short time, Bongonda was very shocked by Bai Ran's performance!

After that, under pressure, Bongonda could only temporarily stop the ball at his feet, allowing Bai Ran's sprint center of gravity to move forward, while Bongonda stepped on the ball steadily.

Then he looked into the penalty area. Within an acre of three-point land, the crowded crowd had formed a pot of porridge. If he continued to cross the ball rashly, it would not have a very good effect.

Because the center of Celta Vigo is not the kind of tall center who grabs points, but as an organizing striker, he often retreats to the midfield to pass and assist.

On the contrary, the two wingers have great breakthrough ability and shooting and scoring ability.

Bongonda chose to cut inside first, but at this moment Bai Ran suddenly caught up from the backcourt and finally easily stole the ball.

The fans in the stands exclaimed and praised. It was a real pleasure to watch Bai Ran playing on the field!

Bongonda was also dumbfounded. This Chinese kid showed extraordinary ability and was very active on the defensive end!

Speed, physical strength, and defensive skills have all improved by leaps and bounds. Today, Bai Ran is so strong that he even makes people feel a little unfamiliar.

It's terrible...

Bongunda hurried back, but it was too late. Bai Ran led the ball forward and opened up a huge situation.

The opponent's players all gathered near the midfield. With the back empty, Asensio, Morata and Bale were all ready to go, waiting for the arrival of prey like cheetahs.

As an all-rounder in the midfield, Bai Ran's passing is naturally one of his specialties. Under the opponent's defense and pressure, Bai Ran quickly kicked the ball and passed it to the middle. A straight pass over the top accurately found Morata's position!

The high ball was passed to the front court. Morata had been waiting for a long time. Although the opponent's central defender was tall and strong, his position was too forward, resulting in a certain amount of start-up time for turning. Within this range, Morata had already dribbled the ball forward.

The ball passed the air above the Bernabeu and came directly to Morata's feet. Morata stopped the ball and ran hard. The ball stopped very steadily.

He could only try to stop the ball at his feet. Now with his skills, it was difficult to stop and pass, because if he accidentally stopped too big or too small, it might ruin the entire offensive opportunity.

Fortunately, Morata found Asensio on the left after stopping the ball steadily, and passed the ball to the side with a low foot.

Asensio dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and the opponent's goalkeeper was already sweating. Facing such an offensive, he was also desperate.

This was a great opportunity. The attack hit the opponent's goal. Asensio crossed the bottom line of the penalty area and knocked the ball across the middle. Morata, who was flanking from behind, stretched out his foot and shot!

Bang!

The fans were ready to stand up and celebrate, but no one expected that Morata's shot hit the opponent's goalkeeper!

Oh my God! It's harder to lose this opportunity than to score!

Morata was extremely regretful and even a little angry about his shot just now!

Of course, his teammates had enough reasons to complain, but they didn't say anything, especially Asensio, who sent this wonderful assist, just ran back to his position silently.

This ball shouldn't have happened. Morata should have seized this opportunity, because in this kind of top league game, even if there is a gap in strength, there is not always such an easy opportunity to score.

The fans all held their heads in disbelief. The fans in China also sighed when they saw the TV broadcast of this scene!

"What kind of shit is this Real Madrid signing!"

"Morata plays like this, Real Madrid will lose a lot!"

"That's right, his foot seems to have just grown out, I'm really impressed!"

"Normal, doesn't this kind of operation often happen under Morata's feet?"

Under the sarcasm, Morata also felt that he was in poor condition today and apologized to his teammates again and again.

The game is still going on, and Celta Vigo is also sweating. Fortunately, the opponent made a mistake, otherwise they would be ahead at the beginning of the game, which is not good news.

Celta Vigo did not dare to attack easily, because in the previous ten minutes, every attack of theirs was strongly resolved by Real Madrid, especially with the help of Bai Ran, their defense line was as solid as a rock, and extremely flexible. There was no good way to penetrate in a short time, and they could only play ball control in the midfield.

When the opponent's ball possession changed, Real Madrid switched from defense to offense, and the threat to Celta Vigo should not be underestimated.

Especially Bai Ran acted as an offensive engine in the midfield, and every long pass was able to hit the essence, easily tearing a hole, which gave Celta a headache.

The two central defenders were very busy in this game, always paying attention to the running position of the Real Madrid striker, and always yelling at their teammates about the man-marking problem.

Now the time has come to the 12th minute, after Real Madrid intercepted the ball, they launched an offensive from the middle.

This time it was Modric who drove straight into the game after getting the ball, passed the opponent's two defensive midfielders, and passed the ball to Asensio in the frontcourt.

It has to be said that Zidane's use of newcomers is still very powerful. Originally, many voices from the outside world were that Real Madrid was about to fall into a desperate situation of powerlessness during the absence of Ronaldo.

Especially the corridor on the left side, without the help of the Portuguese king, Real Madrid's offensive power was greatly reduced, and it is possible that the left side was directly abandoned.

Without Benzema in the middle, it is difficult for Morata to hold up the scene alone. He is not as versatile as Benzema. He can only organize by heading back in the frontcourt. At other times, he chooses to shoot more.

But Zidane resolutely chose Vazquez and Asensio to rotate. These two players are diligent and can devote everything to the team. Such mental strength makes Zidane very appreciative, so during Ronaldo's injury, these two players sat firmly in the main rotation lineup.

Their performance is also worthy of praise. Zidane's trust makes them work very hard, especially Vazquez. Since joining Real Madrid, he has worked almost as hard as Bai Ran. Vazquez can be seen sweating on the training ground for a long time.

At this moment, Asensio is also exerting his energy. There are no fancy skills, just sudden stops and changes of direction, constantly looking for breakthroughs.

Facing the opponent's full-back, Asensio tried hard to find the opponent's flaws and loopholes. Finally, when Bai Ran came to meet him, Asensio confidently sent the ball out.

Now, the ball came to Bai Ran's feet!
