Chapter 323 Ending the winning streak, Real Madrid’s reflections

James Rodriguez was so angry that he exhaled a breath of turbid air and then took a run - a long pass to the goal!

The ball goes straight to the penalty area!

The opposing players saw Bai Ran's movement and seemed extremely excited.

It's obvious that their only goal in the second half is Bai Ran!

And this pass was also directed towards Bai Ran.

Villarreal's defensive players stayed close to Bai Ran, preventing him from making any movements.

At this moment, Bai Ran took advantage of his physical strength and resolutely stepped forward to respond under the tug of several players.

Now Bai Ran's physical fitness data is also very impressive. At least when comparing his strength with these players, he doesn't show the slightest fear.

The opponent's defenders pulled hard, but they couldn't stop Bai Ran's sudden advance!

Oh my god, what's going on with this kid's physical fitness?

Even Da Luo is nothing more than this, right?

They couldn't guard him even if they made moves on their hands?

Moreover, Bai Ran's sudden start almost caused him to be knocked down by several of the opponent's defenders.

This kid from China is so scary!

Bai Ran can actually fall to the ground now, so the referee will definitely come over and give Real Madrid a well-positioned free kick.

But Bai Ran didn't do this.

Compared with free kicks, the chance to score is more meaningful.

Perhaps the melee in the penalty area is a good thing for them.

Because the goalkeeper's line of sight will also be disturbed to a great extent.

This interference sometimes does not necessarily come from Real Madrid players, but more from Villarreal's defenders.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

And the next second, a jaw-dropping picture appeared.

They originally regarded Bai Ran as their first target to press the defense, but Bai Ran's sudden advance caught everyone off guard.

The defender on Villarreal's side was thinking about it. During the halftime break, the head coach himself said that Bai Ran must be targeted no matter what, and if he couldn't do it, let him go. !

The players certainly understand what the coach means.

This little movement on the hand is not enough.

In other words, if you want to stop Bai Ran, this level of interference is still too light.

In this case, don’t blame us for being cruel!

When Bai Ran catches the ball, there will be a pause in stopping the ball, so the center back and full back will definitely succeed, but it is very likely to cause a foul. But in the second half, does the opponent still care about fouls?

As long as Bai Ran can't play in the second half of the game, let alone a foul, even a card will be fine!

Just try your best not to get a red card.

At this moment, Bai Ran will definitely stop the ball and wait for the next action. Villarreal's two defenders are already ready.

However, Bai Ran crossed his legs and missed the ball without stopping at all!

What a ball!

This leak revealed a whole world!

Everyone's defensive focus was on Bai Ran, but Bai Ran opened his legs and forcefully let the opponent miss!

This is too scary!

Bai Ran's golf intelligence is already off the charts, and he doesn't care how many people are ready to cut off his retreat, because Bai Ran doesn't need a retreat at all!

Stopping the ball is a non-existent action. As long as you don't stop, you can escape!

The opponent's central defender was stunned, and the head coach was also stunned!

Bai Ran's action can be regarded as a century leap.

And Ronaldo, who had been lying in wait behind Bai Ran for a long time, blasted open the opponent's city with a blast!

The goalkeeper froze on the spot and didn't react at all.

The distance was simply too close, and there was no time to make a save. Moreover, Ronaldo's shot was very powerful, giving the opponent a painful blow!

2-1!

At this stage of the game, Real Madrid's goal broke the deadlock.

The score on the field was rewritten, and Real Madrid once again took the initiative firmly in its own hands!

With assists from Ronaldo and goals from Ronaldo, the double-R combination makes another comeback.

But there is an extremely crucial link in the connection between these two people, and that is Bai Ran!

It's a pity that this assist cannot be counted as Bai Ran's.

And Bai Ran didn't dare touch the ball.

In fact, if Bai Ran lightly rubbed the ball with his back heel, he might be able to get an assist, but Bai Ran did not choose to do this because if he slightly changed the path of the ball, Ronaldo behind him might make a mistake in judgment. .

The game reached a 2-1 situation, and now the pressure was on the Yellow Submarine.

In the second half, Zidane saw that Bai Ran was being closely guarded and his movements were very large, so after the goal, Zidane made a decision.

The fans in the audience were silent, and the referee also noticed this!

What! ?

While Ronaldo was still celebrating on the sidelines, everyone saw this scene!

On the sidelines, Toni Kroos, who had finished warming up, was ready to come on the court, and it was Bai Ran who was replaced by Zidane!

Even Bai Ran himself is a little unbelievable, why is this!

But after all, the coach's instructions took effect immediately, and it was impossible for him to disobey, so Bai Ran also sighed and came to the sidelines to high-five Cross.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ran, who was so active on the court, was replaced by Zidane in advance!

Cross's appearance also heralds the end of their free agent tactics.

The court once again entered the classic formation of 433.

Among the changes in the formation, the four defenders are of course unstoppable, and the latest Toni Kroos plays an organizational midfielder, which is equivalent to dragging the midfielder and playmaker.

The midfield configuration adds Modric and James Rodriguez.

Bell and Ronaldo moved forward, forming a classic BBC frontcourt trident with Benzema.

The job of the deep-lying playmaker is also very simple, which is to protect the defenders and ensure the movement of the ball within the midfield.

This does take away some of the creative headaches in the midfield as well.

Therefore, Zidane's choice is not too bad. With the emergence of this position, it is best to use the tactics of a deep-lying playmaker in a tactic that is willing to use the flanks to launch a fierce attack on the opponent.

Through full-backs and offensive midfielders like James Rodriguez, the team can actively push the ball into the frontcourt while ensuring a solid defense.

The deep-lying midfielder is a fulcrum for the team to keep falling. After the whole game, everyone will usually find that the one who touches the ball the most is often the deep-lying playmaker in the team.

In fact, this is not a good thing, because generally, the creativity of the deep-lying playmaker is not that strong, so many coaches will place a full-field playmaker in front of the deep-lying playmaker to play the role of engine.

But Real Madrid has no worries about this.

Toni Kroos is more than capable of the role, and his creativity is exceptional.

The deep-lying midfielder is a very professional role with a very narrow range of tactical options.

It's perfect when used well, but it can cause tragedy if used incorrectly.

In a sense, it seems that Barcelona midfielder Sergio Butzquets is one such character.

After Bai Ran came off the field, Zidane shook hands with him and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements."

Bai Ran said he didn't quite understand. Is this your understanding of replacing the most important player on the field at such an important moment?

At this moment, Bai Ran also questioned Zidane's tactical layout.

How can any coach arrange it like this?

But Zidane seemed so confident that Bai Ran could not refute, so he had to sit on the bench and wait to watch the game.

The game continued in the second half, Villarreal saw Bai Ran's end, and the opponent's coach was also very excited.

"Attack! Attack!"

I saw corresponding changes in the opponent's formation.

They changed from a fixed formation to a fluid formation between 4231 and 442.

This kind of offensive and defensive transition is more sharp and flexible. During the players' movements, the formation maintains a very high degree of discipline.

Macroscopically speaking, although each coach has different running positions for each set of tactics, the stages are nothing more than position defense, position offense and frontcourt pressure. If it is not anti-counterattack tactics and bus tactics, there will be no frontcourt pressure. It is just oppression. The degree is different, which also corresponds to the three formations.

Players are constantly switching positions in the three formations. Each player moves according to his own understanding of the situation on the field, which is the ability to read the game and where you should appear at what time.

From a microscopic perspective based on player movement, the defensive formation is indeed static, because current defenses are basically built on the theory of generalized chain defense and zone defense, which requires that the defense line must maintain a certain integrity. If a point is lost, the second player will immediately turn over to make up the defense.

Even if the number of attacking players is sacrificed, the position must be filled. This is why when the full-back presses up, there will definitely be a full-back, midfielder or central defender in his defensive area to make up for the defense, and at the same time, a third person will make up for the second person. position, rotating in this way to maintain the stability of the defensive formation.

Of course, if there is a person who is fast and has good physical strength who can rush forward and come back, then one person can be used as two people. This is why an awesome wing back is so awesome.

However, the formation is dynamic in the offense, because in the current tactical system, the frontcourt players need a lot of running and changing positions to pull the opponent's defense. This is especially true in the counterattack, and there are almost no fixed positions. The full screen can understand and run. The center forward covers the side and the midfielder drives forward, and the center forward retreats to play the ball and the winger cuts inside. These routines are everywhere.

There are generally a few roles that belong to the frontcourt. They are not limited to the center or the wing. They use their running, breakthrough, and passing to tear apart the opponent's defense. So this is why offensive players are required to be more talented than others. Discipline, and the defensive end requires even more discipline.

A football match is not only a competition of skills, strength, and teamwork, but also a tactical confrontation between the head coaches of both sides.

With the improvement of training levels brought about by technological advancement, and the popularization and improvement of relevant football knowledge and concepts, competition at the tactical level has become the most critical and exciting part of football matches.

Zidane and the opponent's coach are both masters of tactics, and have repeatedly helped the team turn things around with instant adjustments during the game.

During the second half of the game, Villarreal's offensive firepower became visible to the naked eye.

There is no doubt that this is what happened after Bai Ran was dismissed.

"Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape."

It is normal to adjust the formation according to the trend on the field or the opponent's changes during the game.

The number of formations a team can master represents, to a certain extent, the team's resilience and degree of change.

But there is no necessary relationship between the number of team formations and the game victory itself. The degree of proficiency and mastery of the formation determines the tactical effect a team can ultimately achieve in the game.

The opponent's offensive mentality caught Real Madrid off guard. With successive changes of possession in the midfield, the opponent began to gradually adopt offensive football.

Fortunately, the performances of center backs Ramos and Varane were perfect, allowing Real Madrid to avoid disaster many times.

Yes, every football formation will have its advantages and disadvantages. There is no such thing as a "watertight" or "indestructible" formation.

The confrontation between formations is a conflict of contradictions, a competition for sharpness or a competition for shields. What determines the outcome of a conflict is the actual effect of both sides' respective formations, and proficiency in the formation is the key factor that affects this actual effect.

When two teams with different formations compete, it is actually to see who of the two sides can take advantage of their own formation and seize the disadvantages of the opponent's formation. In short, it is to use their strengths and avoid weaknesses. Although there may be situations where the formations are incompatible with each other, they will definitely win if they are not in conflict with each other. It is just that one's own formation amplifies the weaknesses of the opponent's formation, making one's own attack easier.

The adjustment of the formation is to change the situation on the field. It can be to break the passivity, seek to break the balance, and maintain the score advantage...

Amid Villarreal's frequent formation changes, Real Madrid somewhat lost themselves in these twenty minutes.

There was no effective attack in the frontcourt, and frequent mistakes were made in the backcourt. They could only rely on the hard work of the central defender.

If this continues, Real Madrid's lead will not be secure.

Zidane also frowned, it seemed that he replaced Bai Ran a little too early.

Of course Bai Ran has also seen this, but it is useless to complain now. Things have already happened, and it is better not to let it develop in a bad direction.

In terms of football skills, Bai Ran is really not afraid of Zidane, but when it comes to game experience and tactical understanding, Bai Ran is still inferior to the head coach.

So at this time, Bai Ran didn't express any dissatisfaction, nor did he criticize Zidane's tactics, but just watched it all silently from the sidelines.

The fans in China have already started complaining.

"What the hell is Zidane! Does he know how to coach?"

"Seeing that Bai Ran is looking good, did you change it for me?"

"This scene is playing like history, it's better to let Bai Ran play!"

"What rubbish! What a confusing substitution! What operation? I can't understand it at all!"

Just when Real Madrid fans were shouting curses, the game had unknowingly reached the 88th minute.

At this time, Real Madrid was struggling and still maintained a 2-1 lead.

The appearance of Toni Kroos and Zidane's 433 changes created a greater defensive gap in the backcourt.

The opponent noticed certain weak links in defense, so they attacked these points with all their might. Under the indiscriminate bombardment, an accident finally happened.

During an attack in the frontcourt, Ronaldo's long pass found Ronaldo on the left, but the pass was a bit too big and it was a passing error.

Ronaldo sprinted hard to reach the ball, but still couldn't stop the ball. Seeing the ball rolling out of the baseline, he could only allow the opponent to serve a goal kick.

At this time, the opponent's goalkeeper swings his arm hugely after taking the ball, and a powerful hand throws the ball directly into the air!

This ball made all the players take action, because just this hand-thrown ball has already passed the half-time!

In front, Villarreal's midfielder competed with Toni Kroos for the top. Since Toni Kroos' body is not one of his strengths, he allowed the opponent to compete for the top point.

With a backward header, the ball jumped directly to the feet of striker Pato!

Ruined!

Zidane frowned, feeling that things were really not simple!

Pato takes the ball, and there seems to be an empty space in the backcourt, with only Ramos and Varane!

This scene seems to be exactly the same as before!

Sure enough, Pato started to start again.

He protected the ball and turned around, and then started a long-distance run. When Ramos was defending in front of him, Pato just gave the ball to the wing, and then competed with Ramos for speed!

In terms of physical contact, Pato will definitely not be able to withstand Ramos's confrontation. As long as the two people have physical contact, Ramos will be confident to guard him.

But I'm just afraid that this kid is so fast that it's hard for people to touch him!

The thing that worries them the most has come.

Pato drove the ball straight into Real Madrid's penalty area with lightning speed, as if he was in no one's land!

Ramos and Varane, who were running wildly behind, gave chase, but they still couldn't catch up with Pato, who was running at full speed!

The Brazilian came to Real Madrid's goal. Facing Casilla's attack, Pato pulled the ball horizontally and directly passed the goalkeeper, and finally succeeded in pushing the ball into the empty goal!

Wow! The ball went in!

The referee pointed to the center circle. There is no problem with the ball!

2-2!

Villarreal scored the equalizer goal at the last moment of the game!

The entire stadium was surrounded by cheers from Villarreal fans, and Real Madrid players looked helpless.

The opponent's attack is too fierce and I can't resist it!

This kid Pato actually had such a powerful explosive power at the last minute of the game. It's terrifying!

Bai Ran also covered his face. It seemed that he still couldn't get out of Pato's nightmare...

Scoring twice, Pato became the most shining superstar in this game!

Villarreal was reborn from the brink of death and gave Real Madrid a head-on blow!

This was also the end of Real Madrid's winning streak.

There were only a few minutes left in the game, and finally the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The score of this game was fixed at a 2-2 draw!
