Chapter 388 Only Real Madrid can defend the Champions League!

Real Madrid lost patience under the siege. This is the weakest support in the confrontation between strong and weak.

The weak will not be anxious. He knows that he is less capable. If he defends steadily, a draw will be victory. The strong have a higher spirit and are burdened with higher expectations. It is a public opinion that the strong want to score goals and win. This is It was like a knife hanging over the heads of Real Madrid players, and the tip of the knife was pointed at Ronaldo. Ronaldo fired 12 shots in this game. He was more anxious than anyone else.

He has always wanted to be the most dazzling star. Real Madrid is about to make history. The team cannot win for a long time. Messi leads the scorer list with 9 goals. Cristiano Ronaldo has not scored a single goal. He is so anxious that his heart is about to pop out of his throat. Out.

Ronaldo is too anxious

However, among Ronaldo's 12 shots, 4 were saved, 6 were missed, and 2 were blocked. Ronaldo worked hard enough, but if he missed it, he would either mess with his feet or be destroyed by the opponent's defensive players.

The man of the match in this game was Betis goalkeeper Adan. He performed at a divine level and made 8 successful saves, including 6 blocking the ball, 1 successful attack, and 1 ball firmly in his arms. , without any mistakes, he single-handedly stopped the indiscriminate attacks of Real Madrid players worth nearly 800 million.

At the moment when Real Madrid was about to set a world record and once again leave a mark in history, it was Adan, a player with a deep connection with Real Madrid, who hindered the process of history.

Adan has been playing football for Real Madrid since he was 10 years old. For 16 years, Adan has been fighting for opportunities to play, but he never got his chance. In 2008, he suffered a cruciate ligament injury, which was close to Season reimbursement, time and injuries have ruined Adan's fate. Adan, who has never been able to gain a foothold in Real Madrid's first team, chose to terminate his contract with Real Madrid.

Adan played for Real Madrid for 16 years

In 2013, Adan joined Cagliari in Serie A. After only two games, Adan joined Betis on a free transfer and has been playing there ever since. All these intertwined factors were released four years later.

It was this Adan who was booed by his hometown fans for 90 minutes. It was this Adan who had worn the Real Madrid jersey for 16 years. It was this Adan who had grown up from an ignorant child in Real Madrid, who blocked the giant ship of Real Madrid.

Towards the end of the game, the impatient Real Madrid became less and less patient in penetrating in the middle, and instead made crazy passes from the wing. There were 46 crosses in a game, and only 15 were successful. Real Madrid lost again, with only 5 attempts in the beginning. There have been 2 draws and 1 loss in each round. In the past 8 seasons of La Liga, the league has lost at most 5 games and drawn at most 6 games. Real Madrid is already 7 points behind Barcelona. These 7 points do not mean the final result of the season, but This will greatly demoralize Real Madrid.

The football world is so incredible. They rotated three offensive cores and were timid before fighting. Betis gave up the game and ended Real Madrid's 73-game scoring streak. An old friend of Real Madrid acted as the "executioner". Betis also killed the giant at the last moment. , defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu for the first time in 19 years.

Sanabria beats Real Madrid

The whole Betis team ran around, and the player who scored the goal at the last minute was Sanafria. His goal was due to Ramos's active turn around, which kept him from being offside. When he ran towards the goal like a hero, On the sidelines, he was unhappy but vigorous. He slid to his knees near the corner flag, lowered his arms, and his face was shining. He did not smile, and looked at the Real Madrid fans who kept leaving the sidelines and muttered something.

This is football, football that is both intoxicating and heartbreaking. Once you fall in love, you can never break away from his arms.

This is Ronaldo's first league game since his return from the ban this season. He faced Real Betis in the fifth round of La Liga. The team's previous results were not ideal, and they were already 4 points behind their arch-enemy Barcelona after 4 rounds.

The team made it clear that it needed a backbone, and the fans called his name. He also put on his coat in the face of danger and wanted to fight immediately, but the team unexpectedly lost and even failed at the home gate.

Ronaldo's simmering anger is probably even stronger than the one he had in the stands in previous rounds.

Yes, Ronaldo is the captain of the Galactic Battleship, commanding the ups and downs of the ship.

But no matter how smart he is at the helm, he is afraid of the oar breaking down. The performance of several key players in the team: Casemiro, Carvajal, and Varane is really worrying. In contrast, Sarafli of Real Betis Ya, Perez, Fabian and goalkeeper Adan all performed strongly.

In the comparison of the two parties' status, one high and one low, it seems that the suppression of absolute strength is not so thorough.

When watching this game, I couldn't help but think of Barcelona's game against newly promoted Getafe last weekend. On paper, it looked like a crushing game, but the score was 55-5.

The similarity between the two games is that the enthusiasm and state of the whole team will definitely make up for the gap in strength.

This is the wonderful thing about football games. Strength and weakness are not absolute, and big names have no aura. The weak team dares to face the strong team with strong mental strength. There are only 11 people on the field, so they have to fight with real swords and guns: hardness, running, endurance, and interception. Only these warriors can kill A heroic story about slaying a dragon.

Both sides were very good at running throughout the game, and you came back and forth. Betis, who challenged Real Madrid as a guest, was not afraid to fight against Real Madrid. It was a bit risky, but the effect was surprisingly good. They rarely organized attacks comfortably throughout the game. They often counterattacked like a sprint as soon as they got the ball, and the ball possession rate could reach 40%. It can be seen that Real Madrid passively gave many opportunities.

Therefore, after a game, it is very rare for a single player on both sides to continuously control the ball. As soon as a player from Real Madrid or Betis gets the ball, he becomes the target of public criticism. If the ball is not distributed immediately, there will be a crowd of people surrounding him. . On this point, Betis has implemented it very well.

And Casemiro, a classmate, did the following in the first 3 minutes: made a passing mistake, was intercepted in the backcourt once, and made a clearance error once. In the second and a half minutes, it was his mistake that led to Betis' smooth counterattack in the backcourt. With Camarasa's advance and Varane's hasty attack, Saraflia went to the meeting alone.

It goes without saying that the player Varane is in good condition. There is wind in his crotch when he runs, and he can make the opponent frightened by chasing the ball. As the successor of Pepe°, his defense is extremely strong. But the weaknesses are also obvious. His frontal defensive ability is always a bit disappointing, and his positional sense is also worse than that of top defenders.

So this time, Betis took advantage of Real Madrid's strong attack from the right, coupled with Carvajal's habitual forward thrust, Sanafria in 2 minutes, Tello in 14 minutes, etc., after several rounds of offense and defense, , leaving Real Madrid in a mess.

In the direction of shooting, it can still be seen that Betis's shots from the left are as high as 42%.

In addition, Betis' Saraflia's performance last night even surpassed that of many big-name players on the opposite side. He explained to us the role of functional No. 9 in counterattacks. Cooperate with your own wing players to gather around, control the ball after stealing it, attract the defense, distribute the ball diagonally, then run, and use the center as a fulcrum to cooperate with the attacking midfielder.

Real Madrid also has such a role player - Benzema, but it's a pity that he is injured. Real Madrid, which chose the same tactics in this campaign, may be in desperate need of such a player.

At the end of 90 minutes, Real Madrid's attacks were mostly from both sides. Belle, Ronaldo and a group of strong players in the midfield were all able to rush forward. There were often opportunities in the areas near the goal on both sides of the ribs, but no goals were scored.

The first reason is bad luck and the opponent's goalkeeper is very brave; on the other hand, it is also difficult to find a role player at the front who can sort out the offense. At the end of the game, when it comes to absolute chances, Real Madrid feels a bit uneasy. Compared with Benzema, Ronaldo and Belle are not suitable for such simple hard work. (In other words, if Real Madrid loses, Benzema has to be blamed. (Dense fog))

On the other hand, Betis can hit the nail on the head with his capable ball play, powerful bloodiness, deep and local consecutive hits.

It was a big fight at the last moment, and both sides were exhausted. Before the goal in the 92nd minute, Real Madrid gave the opponent a clear sky in front of the penalty area. Barragán made a decisive pass, and Sarafria jumped in with a header to win the ball. The person who missed him happened to be Ramos, the person who implements Zidane's metaphysics, who habitually shows up after 90 minutes.

Great players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and powerful teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​will always "accidentally" lose to the so-called weak teams - Barcelona also lost to Ala at the beginning of the season last season. Weiss one? In fact, those of us who have watched football for many years, combined with the entire process of football history, will find that these accidents are actually reasonable in competitive sports.

Every season, from the beginning to the end of every game, great teams will only face waves of fierce attacks from weak teams, challenges like wheel battles. They are either determined, resigned to death, or swallowed with anger. Wanli, if the strong troops slack off in morale at all, they may lose the city.

It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it. It is even easier to be strong and weak, but the offensive and defensive trends are also different. This may be the realization that teams that are among the strongest must be prepared.

First of all, I won’t comment on Nat. The goal conceded has nothing to do with Nat. Let’s start with the four people on the back line. Shui Ye, Varane, Nacho, and Dasha. Marcelo was injured during Q Under the circumstances, this defensive line is not the best defensive line Real Madrid can come up with, but judging from the on-the-spot performance, it is really scummy.

Without listing the data, let’s talk about intuitive feelings. Nacho didn’t know what he was doing in the game. It’s a good thing to boldly add assists, but he neither cuts inside nor makes high-quality crosses. What is the purpose of adding assists?

I was intoxicated by those few crosses with unknown landing points. Shui Ye is indeed a true center forward. He was very threatening in several attacks. But should we discuss the positioning issue with Varane? How many times did he get hit in the back? , and it is obvious that the chasing speed is insufficient. Is it appropriate to reduce the number of times entering the opponent's penalty area?

Not to mention Varane, I didn’t watch him that much; Dasha didn’t know whether it was due to injuries or lack of adjustment with his new teammates. How many simple passing mistakes did Dasha make?

He was stunned by the opponent's counterattacks. His sharp assists in the past were no longer visible. His defense also declined. Basically, there was nothing bright except fouls.

Secondly, in order to stay in the Champions League, the midfielder included 14K, Casemiro, and Ceballos. The overall performance was slightly mediocre. Although Ceballo scored two goals, he was still behind Magic Flute and Akuang in terms of sorting out the offense. There are many Isco Xs, who can dribble and break through 14K, but are not good at sorting out offense. Casemiro is dedicated to defense, so this midfield configuration seems to have no problem on the surface, but the support for the striker is insufficient.

Finally, in order to stay in the Champions League, the front line is President + Vazquez. This configuration is obviously to let Ronaldo find shooting boots. Asensio and Vazquez are responsible for delivering ammunition, but the President is unlucky (the door frame and the president are at odds), secondly, the focus of the attack is too obvious, and Ronaldo is not the kind of center forward who stands back and is really weak in the opponent's penalty area. Has Asensio hit the "rookie wall" "After the opponent started to study him, his performance was not as eye-catching as at the beginning of the season. Vazquez is a typical hard-working person and cannot be expected to make more contributions.

Therefore, Real Madrid played stumblingly throughout the whole game, and there was basically no smooth coordination. In addition, coupled with the eagerness to win, they were hit by a lot of counterattacks by the opponent. If the opponent was not too weak + Natai performed well, would they have won this game? Down is also a problem.

Roten: The three consecutive Champions League titles Bai Ran won with Real Madrid are more valuable than any other honors Messi has received.

Roten believes that although Messi has won 4 championships in the Champions League, the gold content is very low. He simply won the championship lying down. He was basically a substitute and not the main force at all.

And Bai Ran is the main player or even the star in any team, especially in Real Madrid's three consecutive Champions League championships. This gold content can be said to be higher than any of Messi's honors, including the World Cup. Think about it, Messi's victory in the championship depends entirely on referees. Winning on penalties, it would be difficult to reach the top 16 without Di Maria and Messi.

Although there is an element of luck in Madrid's third consecutive Champions League, the Real Madrid team is also very strong. After the restructuring of the Champions League, only Real Madrid can defend the Champions League, and only Real Madrid can win three consecutive championships.

Such an achievement cannot be explained by luck alone.

Their strength is also very strong. The team's configuration on the three lines at that time was top-notch. They had Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema on the front line, Bai Ran in the midfield, Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, Isco has Varane, Carvajal, Ramos and others on the back line. The lineup suffered fewer injuries in those years, and the entire team is in better shape, plus some luck. Because of this, they were able to win three consecutive championships historically.

The reason why it is questioned is because Real Madrid did not perform very well in the league in those years, and they did not have a distinctive style of play. During the three consecutive Champions League periods, they only won the league championship in the second year, because they were considered lucky. ingredients, but to be able to reach the top of Europe, Real Madrid is still very strong.

Real Madrid's third consecutive Champions League is a great achievement, even greater than Barcelona's six titles, because the importance and difficulty of winning the Champions League are top-notch. Although many teams have invested heavily, they have never been able to win the Champions League. The championship title, but Real Madrid not only won it, but also won three in a row. This difficulty is very high.

And at that time, Real Madrid achieved results under the leadership of rookie coach Zidane. Although Zidane was extremely brilliant as a player, Zidane was still a rookie as a coach at the time. It was very rare for him to lead Real Madrid to achieve such results. things.

Real Madrid's opponents at that time were also very strong. Whether it was Juventus, Atletico Madrid or Liverpool, they were all very difficult to deal with. This also illustrates the gold content of Real Madrid's championship.

Ever since Mourinho took over, Real Madrid has been working hard to win several championships over the years. Mourinho's training of Real Madrid, the beating of the team's forwards, including Ramos' transformation, have laid the foundation for these three consecutive championships. .

However, the Champions League results stopped at the semi-finals, the league was unsatisfactory, and there were conflicts in the locker room, Mu Niao resigned.

After Anshuai took office, Real Madrid won the tenth crown and the Copa del Rey, followed by a 33-game winning streak across the seasons.

The so-called king's temperament and champion's heart are cultivated at this time.

The relationship in the locker room eased, Mo Ma officially took over, and Natai took over the No. 1 position. The tactics began to revolve around technical players such as Kroos and Isco, which Anshuai brought to Real Madrid.

But he didn't like rotation. Young people such as Varane and Illarramendi had few opportunities. In addition, the four major players in the second season were empty. An Pang resigned sadly. It was unexpected but reasonable.

When Coach Bei took over, he first tried to support Bell to take over and reuse Casemiro in the midfield. However, Bell was deeply troubled by his soleus muscle and the established tactics could not be implemented.

The first few league games of the season almost always ended with a 1-goal advantage. Coupled with the inevitable defeat in the national derby, Betu's dismissal was inevitable.

Perhaps Betu is the stepping stone that Florentino arranged for Zidane.

Almost no Meilinger objected to Qi Shuai's appointment.

When Zizou took over when the league was hopeless and the Copa del Rey was eliminated, fans did not have high expectations for his first season.

So the eleventh crown is definitely a surprise for Real Madrid fans.

Of course, I have to thank God for the 11th crown, the lucky draw, the offside goal in the final, and Juanfran's shot on the goal post in the penalty shootout. Although it doesn't look so valuable, it has brought great joy to Real Madrid fans. The joy of coming has not diminished at all.

With the eleventh championship-winning lineup as the team, Jese was sold and Asensio and Morata were taken back.

Real Madrid in the twelfth championship season can definitely be regarded as dominating Europe.

Zizou brought many changes to Real Madrid's forward line. Cristiano Ronaldo's transformation and timely cooling, the rotation of team A and team B, and then Cristiano Ronaldo's explosion in the knockout round. Real Madrid entering the final made people feel unstoppable.

This is indeed the case, Bell is sitting on the bench, and Ronaldo is not in the squad!

In seven years, as a Meilinger, for the first time, I deeply felt the terror of Real Madrid.

Defeat Juventus with a big score, and the first defending champion after the Champions League reform was born!

Last summer, the defending champion "B Team" was divided among the teams.

Pepe, Morata, Ronaldo and Danilo, these stable super substitutes, left and bought a few young people who didn't know whether they could take on big roles.

The problem of the aging central axis has not yet been resolved, and role players continue to be lost, which paved the way for the collapse of La Liga this season.

After a double defeat of Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, Chairman Pi said that for the first time in nine years, he felt that Barcelona was not as good as Real Madrid.

But it is common sense that everything that flourishes must eventually decline.
