Chapter 432 Positioning the Ball

Chapter 432 Positioning the ball

"This is the most dreary and ugly Copa del Rey final I've ever seen!"

The commentator Aduris shook his head and sighed.

A good Copa del Rey final, which ended up being made like this by Mourinho.

Real Madrid, this is the most powerful team in Spain, Mourinho still implements his defensive counter-attack tactics in Real Madrid...

Being able to take charge of such a big giant, and there are so many excellent and talented attackers in the team lineup, why does Mourinho favor muscular men who can only be blue-collar workers?

Don't say that Aduriz can't figure it out, even the Real Madrid fans can't figure it out.

Real Madrid fans call themselves aristocrats, but at this time Real Madrid's performance on the field, does this look like an aristocrat?

So when faced with the ridicule of Atlético de Madrid fans, the Real Madrid fans on the other side seemed a little silent.

Obviously, the fans do not agree with Mourinho's extreme approach.

......

Modric took the ball near the middle circle, he stepped on the ball, only Cristiano Ronaldo came to harass.

Naturally, Modric could not lose the ball. He passed the ball to Kante and then went to the other side.

Ronaldo couldn't come up, but he immediately returned to the half, and he was stuck in the middle.

In this game, all Real Madrid members are actively participating in the defense, even Cristiano Ronaldo is the same!

Cristiano Ronaldo considers himself a career boost in his move from Manchester United to Real Madrid.

After all, in the Latin world, the influence of Real Madrid is still far greater than that of Manchester United. Ronaldo himself is Portuguese, so it is not surprising that he has such a view.

But what is lift?

Of course it's a result!

He won the Premier League and the Champions League with Manchester United, but when he came to Real Madrid, he still got nothing.

There doesn't seem to be much hope for the league title this season.

In the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid eliminated Tottenham Hotspur and reached the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, their opponent was Barcelona.

This is another tough battle. Even Cristiano Ronaldo is not sure to beat Barcelona, ​​and once the Champions League is also eliminated, I am afraid that this season's Real Madrid will be empty!

Therefore, this championship is of great significance to Real Madrid and Ronaldo.

Win the Copa del Rey first, so that even if there are mistakes in the Champions League, Real Madrid can avoid the embarrassment of all four this season.

Modric ignored Cristiano Ronaldo's thoughts. He was still observing Real Madrid's formation, hoping to find loopholes in it.

In the end, Modric gave up. Real Madrid's formation is very tight, and it is too difficult to pass the ball in.

So Modric is ready to change the way the attack is organized.

....

Gao Bo expected Mourinho to defend, but he did not expect the opponent to do it so thoroughly.

Although zero to zero is nothing for Atletico Madrid, in Gao Bo's heart, he does not want a draw.

He looked at the calm Mourinho not far away.

This guy must have arranged the practice of penalty kicks, and the penalty shootout must be the focus of Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid's penalty practice is basically a routine.

Therefore, Gao Bo also did not want to drag the game into overtime and then take a penalty.

He definitely didn't want Mourinho's plot to succeed.

Fortunately, his pre-match arrangement also focused on offense. Now that he can't attack from the front, his team still has a way.

Gao Bo did not come to the sidelines to yell and remind Atletico Madrid's players.

Because he believes that his players will find problems and change tactics.

Before the game, they practiced many times.

......

There are many ways to break through dense defenses, including set-pieces, long-range shots, and individual breakthroughs.

Set-pieces are of course Atlético de Madrid's main attacking style, especially in this final.

Gao Bo is still very proud of his arrangement of several set-piece attacking routines in the final, which shows that he is still very prescient.

On the pitch, Atletico Madrid's players, who found it difficult to penetrate the frontal positional attack, also changed the direction of the attack.

Modric received the pass again, kept it under his feet, reached out, made a gesture, and passed the ball back to Kante.

Soon, the players in the frontcourt moved faster.

Griezmann was arranged in the middle of the game, but he only stood in the middle at the beginning. After the game started, he began to move to the two wings.

After Kante received the ball, he passed the ball to Raul Garcia, who then passed the ball to Modric who was open on the other side.

Outside the 30-meter defensive range of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid's passing is not under much pressure, and the harassment of Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema is not enough to make Atletico Madrid's players feel the pressure.

Modric picked up the ball immediately after receiving it, and the football flew to the right!

Griezmann has moved to this side, he stops the ball in his chest, and then dribbles the ball into the opponent's penalty area!

Marcelo and Las Diara were both stuck in front of Griezmann, with Carvalho and Khedira behind them.

Real Madrid's defence looks impregnable and even if Griezmann breaks through one, can he break through all of them?

Griezmann did not break through everything, but he still pushed forward without hesitation.

And when he faced Marcelo, he cashed out directly to the outside, and then after Marcelo came up, he suddenly stopped.

Marcelo failed to brake enough and knocked Griezmann to the ground.

Griezmann is waiting for his foul!

"Griezmann creates a free-kick from the right for Atlético de Madrid!"

The narrator's tone was flat.

But Mourinho frowned.

From Atletico Madrid's attack this time, he has already smelled the signs!

Sure enough, Godin and Boateng came up. In the backcourt, Kante, Juanfran and Sandro were limiting the counterattack, while other Atlético Madrid players were involved in this free kick attack. .

Griezmann passed the ball to the far end with his left foot, and then the far end Boateng ferried the ball to the middle, and Godin grabbed the point in the middle, but his header flew under the interference of Carvalho! !

"Godin's header!! Over the bar!!! A threatening attack from Atlético de Madrid!"

Commentator Aduris was very excited, because this was the most threatening attack by both sides since the start of the game for seven or eight minutes.

.....

And that seems to be turning on some kind of signal.

Soon, the second attack came again.

This time Griezmann went to the left. After he broke through Abeloa, he swept the ball towards the penalty area near the baseline, only to be slammed out of the baseline by Ramos at the front point.

Corner! !

Atlético de Madrid players are coming up again soon!

This time it was Diego Costa who hit the ball!

He headed the ball almost unguarded near the penalty spot, while the rest of the defenders were pulled away.

It's a pity that Diego Costa didn't seize the opportunity this time. His header didn't fully exert force. When the football flew towards the goal, it was not fast enough and was hugged by Casillas.

Gao Bo, who was on the sidelines, looked very regretful. He waved his hands and spread his hands toward the coach's bench.

This scene was watched by Mourinho.

By positioning the ball?

Mourinho frowned.
