Chapter 309 Halftime 20, Never Take It Lightly

Chapter 310 Halftime 2-0, never take it lightly

After all, the game has just started, and there are still dozens of minutes waiting for them in the future. It is not a wise choice to exhaust their physical strength at this stage.

Sporting Lisbon's defensive counterattack is the most lethal when the opponent's physical strength is about to run out, and Real Madrid is well aware of this.

Their analysis of the opponent is also very accurate.

Suddenly at this moment, Modric looked at Bai Ran, gave Bai Ran a look, and a head movement, and leaned forward.

Bai Ran quietly nodded to Modric, and the two of them communicated through eye contact and instantly understood each other.

This is the chemical reaction and the tacit understanding between the team. As long as you look at me, I can understand what you mean!

As an offensive midfielder, Bai Ran is naturally also slowly guarding the opponent's passing path, doing the same work as other Real Madrid players.

But after Modric and Bai Ran made eye contact, Bai Ran quietly started and was buried behind his opponent William Carvalho.

Very good, at this moment, no one has noticed Bai Ran's change of position, this is a silent transformation process.

The ghostly movement makes Bai Ran appear and disappear, and even the opponent did not see Bai Ran's abnormality.

Although Bai Ran did not know what Modric was going to do, but between teammates, a word of trust can overcome all difficulties!

Bai Ran firmly believed that Modric must not be groundless, he must have his own ideas in it.

And this idea is likely to help Real Madrid expand its lead again.

The players around were all focused on the ball, and many people did not notice Bai Ran's trajectory.

Now it was the winger Gelson Martins who was carrying the ball.

In the stalemate, Gelson Martins could not make a better advance of the ball, not to mention that their head coach was also calling from the sidelines.

"No hurry!"

"Pass back!"

"Pass to the teammates around you and pull their formation!"

"Remember what I said to you before the game?"

Gelson also heard the coach's call in the noisy stadium, so he resolutely passed the ball back to Pereira's feet.

The full-back passed the ball to Adrian Silva in the midfield.

At this moment, Modric, the midfielder of Real Madrid, suddenly started!

Modric got this information from the analysis of the opponent's game before the game. The players of Sporting Lisbon are in very good physical condition, run first-class, and are very fast, but when facing sudden pressing, the probability of being intercepted is very high!

So Modric's sudden pressing will definitely make the opponent shocked and at a loss.

Sure enough, Modric made a steal in the frontcourt, and Adrian Silva could only pass the ball to William Carvalho next to him in a panic.

However, the quality of this hasty pass was not high, and the force was very small, which also gave Casemiro an opportunity to take advantage of.

Casemiro also understood Modric's meaning, and immediately stepped forward to press, which successfully made the opponent lose the ball in a panic!

Casemiro stretched out his foot to poke the ball out, and the ball came to Modric's feet. Looking forward, except for the opponent's defender, there was only Bai Ran left!

This was a great opportunity to make a through pass. Opportunities are rare and never come back. All of this was carefully planned by Modric. At this moment, Modric had no reason at all. He made a through pass, and the ball rubbed the grass and came to Bai Ran's direction.

The opponent's defender failed to defend and slipped directly on the green field.

This sudden change of center of gravity caused Carvalho to make a very serious mistake, and the ball came directly to Bai Ran's feet.

And Bai Ran was already ambushed in the opponent's gap. Koci's task was to closely guard Benzema and Bai Ran, but Bai Ran's ghost-like running caught him off guard. Looking back, Bai Ran actually appeared in front of his own goal!

Koci was stunned.

He was numb all over. Just now, his attention was all on the ball in the midfield, and he didn't notice that Bai Ran had already led the ball forward at this moment.

There was such a large gap behind him, and Bai Ran seized this opportunity and went around behind him.

He only remembered that he had been keeping an eye on Bai Ran's movements. He was distracted for two seconds, and Bai Ran had disappeared. When he appeared again, he was in a fatal position.

Such a movement was elusive and dealt the most serious blow to Sporting Lisbon!

The ball was passed over, and Bai Ran took the ball directly, moved forward two steps, and adjusted his position.

During this period of time, Bai Ran did not waste time, but always paid attention to the movement of his teammates. He was already a stone's throw away from the penalty area. Bai Ran had the opportunity to shoot, but it seemed that passing the ball forward was also a very good choice.

The importance of the attacking midfielder to a team is self-evident. He is the main planner and initiator of the offense, and is also the core of the midfield organization.

The attacking midfielder must have an outstanding overall view, a flexible mind, precise footwork, and a sense of leadership. In the offense, the attacking midfielder can choose to pass the ball to a forward with a better position, or make a personal breakthrough. When the attacking midfielder is in a more forward position, he sometimes becomes a "shadow striker".

Now Bai Ran plays such a role, a shadow striker!

The attacking midfielder is located in the middle front field. He is responsible for the team's offense. In terms of organization, Bai Ran, as an attacking midfielder, must have the ability to cooperate. He and the defensive midfielder must form a good tacit understanding and control the situation in the midfield. The "disconnection" situation we often talk about seems to be the loss of the entire midfield line, but in fact it is caused by the loose connection between the attacking midfielder and the defensive midfielder.

Bai Ran has a very strong sense of the overall situation. Although the attacking midfielder is in the middle most of the time, when they organize the attack, they must also pay attention to the connection with the two sides, so that they can control the direction and rhythm of the entire attack, send out transfers in time, and send direct passes to teammates who assist from the side from time to time in the gap. These are what the attacking midfielder should do.

In the offense, there must be a certain ability to receive and pass the ball. The attacking midfielder is the starting point of the team's offense. If you can't receive the ball well, how can you continue to organize the offense. As an attacking midfielder, it is not only necessary to receive the close-range pass, but more importantly, it is necessary to grasp the ability to receive the long pass. When the counterattack opportunity is excellent, whether the attacking midfielder can stop the long pass will directly affect the quality of the counterattack. Receive the ball well and pass it well.

So Bai Ran just glanced at his teammates on the wing and decisively sent the ball out.

This was also a wonderful through ball. After holding the ball on the wing, Bale advanced at high speed and came to the edge of the penalty area in two or three steps.

The attacking midfielder does not have to have gorgeous footwork, but accurate passing is a must. Through, transfer, and back-pass, each item requires the attacking midfielder to have accurate passing as a guarantee. Awareness must be good. It is not enough to pass and receive the ball well. You must have good awareness, which of course includes the awareness of passing and receiving the ball, the awareness of transfer, the awareness of running, and the awareness of forward insertion, etc.

When Bale was stirring up the situation on the wing, Bai Ran was also looking for a point to receive the ball at all times, so as to prevent Bale from falling into the dilemma of no one to pass.

On the Lisbon Sporting side, they had to watch the landing point of Bale's cross and beware of Bai Ran's support in the middle, which put great defensive pressure on them.

Bai Ran made contributions that several players could do on the field.

The success rate of the attack must be supported by consciousness, where to pass the ball, how strong the ball should be passed, how much lead time, how to choose the position to receive the ball, when to pull to the side, when to be a wall, when to advance, and when to retreat to support.

Therefore, if the front midfielder does not have good consciousness, it is almost "useless". The ability to read the game is also very important for the front midfielder. As the organizer of the attack, a good ability to read the game can make you observe the movement of the front court more clearly, so as to decide where the ball under your feet will go.

Observing the gap is also Bai Ran's forte, the defensive loopholes of the defenders and the running positions of the offensive players of the team, so as to decide how to pass the ball to the teammates in which direction.

Bai Ran is like a cunning fox. Just by running without the ball, he can make the opponent's defender dizzy.

Bell saw the teammates who were scrambling in the penalty area, so he did not consider passing it back to Bai Ran, but thundered out of nowhere and kicked a high ball in an arc, finding the people who were scrambling in the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Ronaldo jumped high to compete for the header, but Bale's pass was a little too big, and Ronaldo's position was not comfortable to head the ball. Modric, who was inserted at the back point, raised his foot and shot the moment the ball landed!

Boom——

A powerful shot that hit the right spot completely!

This shot was so comfortable that even the fans in the stands felt great.

Anyone who can play football can understand how great it is to shoot the right spot.

The ball was like a rocket, hitting the upper right corner of the goal. The defender's huge body completely blocked the goalkeeper's sight. Even the goalkeeper didn't see Modric's kicking action, and the goal was penetrated.

The game had only been over for more than ten minutes, and the score on the field had been rewritten to 2-0.

The terrifying strength of Real Madrid was once again confirmed at this moment. They showed a strong fighting spirit on the field, especially the telepathic cooperation between Bai Ran and Modric just now, which was hard to find in the world.

This ball went in!

The score on the field was rewritten, and the gap widened to two goals!

Real Madrid was unstoppable. It was Real Madrid's No. 37 Bai Ran who instigated this perfect attack!

This running position was very deceptive, and the opponent's defenders were all fooled!

Modric's sudden start to steal, Casemiro's timely defense, Bai Ran's instigation of the attack from the midfield to the wing, Bale's cross to the back point Modric followed up with a volley, this attack was completed in one fell swoop, and the coherent actions made the opponent helpless.

Modric seemed very excited after scoring the goal. He ran to the sidelines, kissed his fingers, and finally pointed to the sky. On the field in the corner flag area, he welcomed the fans' shouts and celebrated the goal.

Bai Ran also came to his side to celebrate with him as soon as possible. Modric and Bai Ran hugged each other.

"Good ball! Bai Ran!"

This pass was so beautiful!

Bale also rushed over from the wing and hugged Bai Ran and the others tightly.

How could such a galactic battleship not terrify the whole of Europe? How can we not let the whole of Europe tremble?

Especially Bai Ran's role in the midfield has exceeded everyone's imagination.

His strength has been fully demonstrated, and most importantly, Bai Ran's fit with this Real Madrid is simply a stroke of genius!

In addition, Bai Ran's team spirit is also very good. After integrating into the team at a rapid speed, Bai Ran can even help his teammates integrate into the team better.

In fact, Bai Ran could have shot the ball by himself. There were no defensive players around him, and they were all gathered in front of the goal in the penalty area.

If Bai Ran could draw his bow and arrow and launch a long shot at the edge of the penalty area, he would definitely have a chance to create a world wave.

And this is what Bai Ran is good at. His long-range shooting skills are not even inferior to Modric.

But to be on the safe side, Bai Ran still passed the ball to Bale without hesitation, because Bale had more options.

After passing it to Bale, Bai Ran's support next to him did not stop for a moment, which allowed Bale to either kick the ball to the middle, or pass it back to Bai Ran for further planning, or even try to cut in and shoot by himself.

Bale can choose the most comfortable way to deal with it.

Playing football with Bai Ran as a teammate is a kind of enjoyment.

Moreover, the opponent's formation is very dense, and Bai Ran attracted most of the defensive attention, so Bale has better room to play on the wing.

Such a selfless football spirit has long convinced the Welsh winger.

When their defenders tried their best to block Ronaldo's header, of course, they would expose a flaw. Modric seized the opportunity and looked at the gap, and then scored.

Although this ball did not directly cause an assist, there is no doubt that Bai Ran contributed a lot!

The first half of the game ended with Real Madrid's slow-paced attack. After a while, the referee blew the whistle to end the half, and both sides returned to the locker room to rest.

The score at halftime was 2-0!

Bai Ran had an assist, and Bale's data was even better. He scored one goal and one assist in the first half, and his state was very online.

But in terms of the influence on the game, Bai Ran should be more effective.

He sent out threatening balls as many as 6 times.

Although he did not score a goal, it can be seen that Bai Ran's state is still incomparable!

After halftime, Bai Ran sent out threatening balls on the offensive line. Real Madrid had 8 shots, 3 shots on target, and scored two points, while the opponent was beaten to a breathless state, and there was no chance to shoot in the whole half.

Real Madrid had a very leisurely second half of this game, and Casillas almost caught a cold!

During the halftime break, Zidane did not make any personnel changes or tactical changes, but discussed some of the opponent's weaknesses with the players.

After all, they had done well in the first half, and the 2-0 lead was enough for Real Madrid to hold on to this lead in the second half.

And getting three points is the primary goal for Real Madrid, and there is nothing else that needs to be too desperate.

Although it is the Champions League, the top priority, it is also in the group stage now, and there are strong opponents like Dortmund behind. Zidane is not so panicked for the small Lisbon Sporting.

Last season was the first time Zidane coached a top league team, and he won the double championship for the first time. What big scenes have he not seen?

The short break time flashed by, and the second half of the game was changed and Sporting Lisbon took the lead.

In the second half of the confrontation between the two sides, it can be seen that Bai Ran's performance is still shining throughout the court. As an offensive point on the field, every pass is very reasonable. It can almost be said that the ball can be passed to his feet as long as he can see his teammates.

Of course, Bai Ran's ability to read the game is not only reflected in the "forward" time, when to pass back to lead the defensive players, when to stop the attack and pass the ball outside, when to take over the game with a ball control tactic, these are all manifestations of the front midfielder's ability to read the game.

And some types of front midfielders, like midfielders like Bai Ran, also need to have certain shooting skills. Whether it is entering the penalty area or long shots from the outside, they can threaten the opponent's goal and enrich the team's offensive routines.

In this game, Bai Ran is like a magician on the football field. He stops the ball, turns, passes the ball, has excellent control skills and superb techniques, and the football seems to be enchanted under his feet.

He has a good overall view and insight. He keenly observes the opponent's flaws in the ever-changing situation and uses excellent passing skills to create the final fatal pass.

Speed ​​competition is not his forte, physical confrontation is not his forte, and defense is not his strong point, but this is precisely what has created his elegant style of play and calm temperament.

They heard thunder in silence. Bai Ran is an elegant dancer in the front court and the core of the team's reliance!

As the protagonist on the field, Bai Ran's performance naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Bai Ran, the free man in the front court, is actually more inclined to the position of a front midfielder. One of his major functions is to pass the ball. Whether it is a straight pass or a long pass, the midfielder needs to know where his teammates are located, which is more conducive to attacking.

This requires Bai Ran to observe constantly. People who can only lower their heads to play the ball cannot play a good front midfielder. Before receiving the ball, Bai Ran must observe and think about how to deal with it after receiving the ball; after receiving the ball, he must look up and observe, think about what method and strength to use, where to pass the ball, etc.

These things have been developed into a habit by Bai Ran in the compulsory courses given to him by Zidane.

He now looks up and observes very frequently, and rarely has the habit of lowering his head to dribble the ball. No matter when and where, Bai Ran will repeatedly look at the front, back, left, right, the positions of opponents and teammates, and the layout on the field, and use them as references to complete the defense or attack tasks.

Such players usually play football with their brains.

The situation on the field is still that Real Madrid has an absolute initiative.

Bai Ran's performance still makes the opponent feel fear. Even though they were leading 2-0 in the first half, Zidane, who had learned from the past, did not intend to give up every opportunity to attack.
