Chapter 299 Zidane's Change of Formation, What Is Football Understanding!
After halftime, Real Madrid had a three-goal lead. Now they can rest easy and play in the second half.
In the locker room, Zidane was very satisfied with the players' performance and praised them repeatedly.
"You are in very good condition. I can allow all of you to relax in the second half and change tactics."
The players listened attentively to what Zidane said, not even willing to move their eyes.
"Modric can take a break in the second half, Kovacic, you are ready to play."
"Casemiro's position can be further back, and Ramos and Varane in the backcourt mainly pass the ball to the full-backs to reduce the level of advancement."
"Casillas, you go forward to support, we have an advantage in the number of people in the backcourt, with your footwork, just don't let the opponent's forwards grab the ball."
"If there is a flaw in the opponent's lineup, Asensio and Bale will do these things."
At this time, Modric on the side seemed to realize that Zidane was already in a completely relaxed attitude towards this game.
But in this situation, the midfield master still had some uneasiness in his heart.
"Coach, do we have to play defense in the second half?"
Zidane nodded: "Keeping the ball at your feet will save energy."
"We still have many tough battles to fight next. Now it's 3-0. There's no need to spend so much energy and cost in this game."
Ramos and Varane nodded in agreement, and Kovacic was also excited about his playing time.
At this time, a voice broke the silence of the locker room.
The voice of No. 37 Bai Ran, the legendary newcomer of Real Madrid, appeared.
"Coach, I don't think this is good."
"Huh?"
Zidane looked at Bai Ran, and all the other teammates looked up, with a little surprise and doubt in their eyes.
The ability and level shown by Bai Ran on the court are of course world-class. Such a player is undoubtedly the dream of every head coach.
But if you look at the skills and ability to read the game, Bai Ran is absolutely no problem, but Zidane must be better in game experience.
Bai Ran can't compare with Zidane in terms of macro-planning.
After all, no matter how good you are at playing, you are only 17 years old!
Zidane has been through many battles, so he certainly knows how to play the next game.
To put it bluntly, Zidane arranged the tactics, is it your turn to question it?
But Zidane did not show any dissatisfaction, but listened to Bai Ran patiently and said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Bai Ran took a deep breath and said, "I think Celta Vigo will definitely launch a fierce counterattack in the second half. If it was 4-0 or 5-0, I would not say so, but now it is 3-0 on the field."
"In 45 minutes, miracles are possible."
"Their players are all quite skilled, and their strength is not that weak. They can't give up this game easily."
"If we give up in advance, we must be prepared to be bombarded by the opponent."
"We are the ones who are in a passive situation."
Real Madrid's teammates were puzzled, and even Carvajal said, "Bai Ran, listen to the coach."
"The coach must know how to win the game better than us."
But they didn't know that Bai Ran's game experience was no less than Zidane's!
In his previous life, Bai Ran was a substitute, but he didn't just watch his team's games on the sidelines.
One of his greatest hobbies in life is to watch other teams' games and analyze their offensive and defensive games.
Generally speaking, as long as the score is not so far away that it is difficult to catch up, the team that lags behind in the second half will definitely launch a fierce counterattack, especially the Spanish team, whose gap is not so obvious, not to mention that the beginning of the second half is one of the most dangerous time periods.
At this stage, it is even more worthy of attention than when the game just started, not to mention that Zidane still wants the team to play defense.
In the case that Real Madrid has absolute initiative and the right to fire, it resolutely handed over the initiative to Celta Vigo. Bai Ran does not agree with this approach.
But Carvajal's statement made Bai Ran a little shaken. Perhaps Zidane's approach is not wrong. After all, the subsequent games cannot be delayed. It is necessary to keep sufficient physical strength to prepare for the subsequent tough battles.
However...
Celta Vigo is not a weak team. Is it really okay?
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ran took a deep breath. The halftime break time has come to an end.
The players of both sides are about to step into this green field to welcome the second half of the game.
For Real Madrid, Modric left the field first, Kovacic was replaced, and Bale also took a short break. Asensio replaced him as a winger.
Vazquez played as a winger on the left, and Asensio moved to the right.
Morata was still in the middle, and Real Madrid was ready to go and prepared everything.
The players from Celta Vigo walked out of the player tunnel, each of them had a calm face but revealed a hint of ferocity. It seemed that they planned to put pressure on Real Madrid in the second half.
In fact, as Bai Ran said, they could give it a try at this stage. With a three-to-zero deficit, they had nothing to lose.
Even if they just sit there and wait for death, they will still take away 0 points. The worst case scenario is that they will lose a few goals. Instead of doing this, it is better to change the thinking in the second half and directly launch a large-scale and fierce attack on Real Madrid's defense line, and perhaps they can score two goals in one fell swoop.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides. With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially started.
As soon as the ball kicked off, the opponent showed endless fighting spirit and spirit. Guidetti passed the ball to midfielder Daniel Voss.
Daniel Voss held the ball and watched, and saw his teammates running in front. He made a long pass and the ball passed through the night sky of the Bernabeu, crossed the half-court position and came to the right side of the green field.
Oria Reina took the ball and quickly advanced, launching a fierce attack from the right. The full-back Marcelo kept a close watch, fearing that something would go wrong. Behind him was already the penalty area, and Marcelo was the last line of defense on the right.
Although Ramos and Varane were in front of the goal, this sideline was still not allowed to be penetrated, because the opponent was likely to kick a cross from the sideline. At this time, the ball was hoisted into the penalty area in a melee, and anything could happen.
Under Marcelo's pressure, Oriarena turned around and handed the ball back to Daniel Voss. Marcelo wanted to press forward for a moment, but at this moment, Daniel Voss gave full play to his imagination and superb passing skills. He did not choose to stop the ball at his feet, but flicked his toes lightly, and the ball passed over Marcelo's head and came to Oriarena's feet.
From the sideline, Oriarena sent the ball into the penalty area in a flash. This was a great opportunity!
The penalty area was crowded with people, and everyone was watching the direction of the ball.
As a striker of Celta Vigo, Guidetti's height was not his advantage, but his positioning ability was very good, and he could often find opportunities to score in the gaps between the opponents.
At this moment, Guidetti sneaked under Ramos' elbow like a ghost, got the ball before everyone else, and then kicked the ball with his right foot at a small angle!
In fact, Guidetti completed this shot very reluctantly. When he touched the ball at the first point, the goal was behind him on the left. Guidetti kicked in the general direction of the goal without even looking at it.
Varane saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly blocked it with his foot, but who would have thought that this touch would not matter, but directly interfered with the trajectory of the ball. Goalkeeper Casilla made a misjudgment and failed to touch the ball. At this moment, the center of gravity could not be shifted back, and he could only watch the ball go into the Real Madrid net.
The ball actually went in!
The commentator was stunned, and the audience in the stands on the sidelines were also dumbfounded. The fans of Celta Vigo never expected that they had not completely lost the game!
The second half had just begun, and they had gained a hope of dawn!
A goal boosted morale, and all the members of their team vented out their long-suppressed emotions at this moment!
Although it was a coincidence that caused this goal, this goal is very crucial and very important!
Will this be the beginning of their Jedi counterattack?
Guidetti ran to the sidelines to celebrate with the fans. This goal represents a new goal for Celta Vigo's next struggle!
As expected by Bai Ran, the opponent's offensive momentum was more intense than in the first half.
Although this goal was scored by luck, the football field changes rapidly. Who knows what will happen in the next second?
Zidane also shook his head with his hands in his pockets, and walked back to his coaching seat silently from the sidelines.
This goal was surprising. Real Madrid's luck was bad enough.
Although Varane touched the ball in, looking at the data and the display, this goal was still counted under the shooter's account.
In the 47th minute of the game, Guidetti helped Celta Vigo to pull one back, and now the score on the field is 3-1!
Real Madrid has a two-goal advantage, but the situation is not optimistic!
Bai Ran put his hands on his waist and stroked his hair, thinking that he must make changes.
Even if Zidane is stubborn, he can't watch this game put Real Madrid in a dangerous and passive situation at the end!
After a celebration, the game continued.
Real Madrid took the lead. Forward Morata passed the ball to Bai Ran and moved to the side. Bai Ran did not pass the ball back, but went straight into the opponent's hinterland.
At the critical moment when the back midfielder pressed forward, Bai Ran looked around for the help of his teammates, but at this moment he was stunned.
The teammates around him did not approach him, but waited for support in the back!
Bai Ran frowned and waved, asking all his teammates to come over. Kovacic beside him finally caught up quickly, and Bai Ran handed the ball to Kovacic.
Bai Ran then ran forward, but unexpectedly Kovacic passed the ball back to Ramos after getting the ball!
"Hey..."
Bai Ran stood in front with a helpless look on his face. How could this be possible?
As expected, the thing Bai Ran was most worried about still happened.
In the 50th minute of the game, Celta Vigo suddenly attacked. After the midfielder intercepted the ball, it immediately launched a fierce counterattack. Guidetti passed the ball to Oriarena on the wing.
Oriarena made a long pass, and Bongonda came to meet on the left. Daniel Voss launched an attack in the middle. Facing the tight defense of Real Madrid, Bongonda passed the ball to Daniel Voss.
The midfielder looked at his teammates on both sides and saw that the passing routes were blocked, so he took the ball to the edge of the penalty area and volleyed directly from the top of the arc!
This shot was so powerful that it shook the mountain and shook the tiger!
Long shots are also a specialty of Daniel Voss. Casilla flew hard and held the ball out with one hand like Superman!
nice shot!
Beautiful shot, wonderful thrust!
There were bursts of applause from the sidelines.
This shot was indeed very exquisite. Daniel Voss's most reasonable choice at that time was to take the shot himself.
The quality of this shot also met his expectations, giving Real Madrid a moment of shock.
Casilla called out his teammates for positioning and defensive issues, and Celta Vigo received a corner kick opportunity.
Attacking midfielder Daniel Voss came to take the corner kick, and there was even a central defender from Celta Vigo to participate in the attack at the high point in the middle.
The corner kick was taken and lobbed to the center of the penalty area!
Ramos and Varane jumped high at the same time, trying to compete for the first point, but neither touched the ball!
Finally, on the far left side of the penalty area, the ball fell to the back point. Bongonda did not stop the ball when he got it, and the ball bounced off the ground!
At half height, Bongonda tried to hit the goal, but Ramos stepped forward very quickly to defend and blocked his shooting route. Seeing this situation, Bongonda did not shoot directly, but instead The ball spiked and came to his inside position.
Ramos was also thrown away, and then Bongonda pushed the shot into the far corner of the goal, which was saved by Casilla.
These two strikes brought a lot of pressure to Real Madrid. During this period, Celta Vigo's offense was still very decent. Real Madrid was under huge pressure and the defensive end was extremely anxious. They almost lost the ball several times, but unfortunately they were not lucky. Great.
Zidane also saw this helplessness. It seemed that this game could not be given up like this. He had just made the wrong decision.
Bai Ran was right. Although Real Madrid was stronger, the opponent's counterattack was even more fierce.
After so many years of competition experience, Zidane subconsciously believed that as long as the victory was established, everything would be foolproof. However, Zidane never thought about the possibility that his side would overturn if the opponent did not give up until the end. ?
A hundred secrets and a sparseness!
But this omission made Bai Ran think of it.
This kid also has a lot of football experience, but how is this possible?
Bai Ran is only 17 years old and has only played a few games in total. How come he has so much experience and even knows the mentality of the opponent's head coach and players very well.
Is this child really the chosen one?
Although Qi Da was extremely confused in his heart, he didn't have time to think so much. He just wrote and drew on the tactical board, leaving a lot of tactical arrangements.
During this period of time, Celta Vigo's offense continued.
The offensive like a wave became more and more fierce, and the pressure on Real Madrid was also increasing.
Bongonda launched an attack from the left and passed a long ball to Guidetti in the middle of the frontcourt. The latter entered the penalty area and volleyed, and the ball hit the post and bounced out!
Then midfielder Daniel Voss passed a long pass. Guidetti headed the ball in front to Ollarena on the right. The latter dribbled for two steps and then made a rapid breakthrough. His shot into the far corner was missed by Casilla. A brave save.
In the 57th minute of the game, a long pass counterattack was launched in the backcourt. After the central defender kicked off, Real Madrid's back was empty, revealing a huge gap. Guidetti did not stop in the first shot, but there was still time to adjust.
After straightening his body, Guidetti passed the ball to the feet of Bongonda on the wing. The latter took off and volleyed, but Varane used his body to block it out of bounds.
Facing the indiscriminate bombardment of Celta Vigo, Carvajal and Ramos all showed embarrassed and helpless looks. It seems that Bai Ran said it was okay. If Real Madrid continues to defend like this, it will actually consume their energy. More.
The situation on the field did not develop as Zidane thought. He originally wanted Real Madrid to recuperate, adjust their playing style, and be more on the ball-controlling and defensive side of the field. However, facing the fierce impact of the opponent, Real Madrid also I had to pick up the rhythm and play.
While retreating, you have to face the opponent's attack. This is more tiring than attacking!
Carvajal also regretted his thoughts. It seemed that what Bai Ran said was true. Not only did the opponent not give up, he even felt better and more confident the more he played.
At this moment, the referee reached out to indicate the situation on the sidelines.
Bai Ran looked up and showed a slight smile.
James Rodriguez, the midfield star that Real Madrid has not seen for a long time, is preparing to play on the sidelines!
The one who was replaced was the young man Asensio who had fought fiercely throughout the game.
It seems that Zidane is going to change his formation!
Bai Ran was thinking this, and sure enough, Ronaldo showed an affirmative expression to Bai Ran after he came on the field, and then said to his teammates on the court: "442, Bai Ran forward."
"I will play with Casemiro in the midfield, and Vazquez and Kovacic will play on the wings."
As soon as this lineup came out, all members of Real Madrid were in high spirits. They all understood that Zidane was going to reorganize the offensive mode!
When the players turned their heads to look at the coach, Zidane put his hands in his hands, with a sharp and confident look in his eyes. He nodded towards the players, as if to say: Go ahead and play, I believe in you. !
This last substitution was too crucial, giving Real Madrid the opportunity to change its lineup and tactics!
James Rodriguez, who had not been seen for a long time, also had the opportunity to play. Bai Ran played as a shadow striker and cooperated with Morata to attack the opponent's defense.
Now, Bai Ran's heart finally fell. As long as Real Madrid puts pressure on the opponent, with their current level, it will be difficult for them to survive!
