Chapter Twenty-Five: There is a set of ways to deal with pressing defense

readx;

The fans of Osasuna were very happy, and in addition to them, the fans of Barcelona were also happy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona started from the first round of the league.

As sworn enemies, they are happy to see the opponent lose and be unlucky.

Barcelona played their opening game and they played a day before Real Madrid. They were against promoted side Celta Vigo and Barcelona won comfortably 3-0 at their home stadium as the impact of the Champions League final defeat and the Spanish Super Cup loss seemed to be gone without a trace.

Because they have already won, many Barcelona fans also choose to watch Real Madrid's game, of course, they are definitely not here to cheer for Real Madrid, but with a gloating mentality, expecting Real Madrid to make some mistakes in the game, being scored by the opponent, and if they lose the game, it will be better - if Real Madrid's game is in front, and Barcelona's game is behind, Real Madrid's fans will also watch Barcelona games with this mentality after Real Madrid wins.

Real Madrid looked restless after conceding a goal – as they have been in recent seasons, perhaps because Barcelona were too strong and put Real Madrid in the role of a catch-up more often than not, so the slightest hint of wind can get them emotional.

In fact, although Real Madrid is a galactic battleship, they have lost the strong mentality. In the face of setbacks, he is restless, and when the wind is smooth, he carelessly underestimates the enemy.

This restlessness, combined with Osasuna's deliberately pressing tactics, made for Real Madrid's first half to be rather awful.

The simple and monotonous organization of the offense is easy to block by the opponent's defense.

Until the end of the first half, the score was 1:0, and Osasuna, who was playing at home, was ahead.

Real Madrid finally played normally in the last ten minutes of the first half, stopping two dangerous attacks, but unfortunately luck was not on their side this time, C. Ronaldo's angry shot was shot by the post, and Kaka, who followed up, shot high.

"The first half is over! What an emotional first half! The mighty Real Madrid didn't get past us, they let us score! The local Pamplona narrator said excitedly.

"As long as we can hold on to this score in the second half, the game will be more and more favorable for us! They'll get more and more anxious! ”

Amid the cheers of the Kingdom of Navarra stadium, Real Madrid's starters trotted down and quickly entered the passage and disappeared onto the pitch.

Chu Zhongtian warmed up on the court with the substitutes.

There were fewer people in the stands, and they all grabbed the half-time time to rest. Chu Zhongtian looked around at the small stadium. With a capacity of 19,800 people, the Stade de Navarre is smaller than the stadiums in Metz and even smaller than the Rhein-Neckar Arena in Hoffenheim.

But it is in such a small stadium that Real Madrid is facing a crisis.

It doesn't look like La Liga is just a contest between Real Madrid and Barcelona as I thought. Although Real Madrid only needs to be in good form and the players are serious, it will not be a problem to win Osasuna. But who can guarantee that their team will be in great form every game and that the players will be fully focused?

So...... Still be careful.

Ten minutes after warming up, Chu Zhongtian followed the other substitutes back to the locker room. Jose Mourinho's remarks are over and the atmosphere in the dressing room is a little dreary. Even Marcelo, who usually enlivens the atmosphere in the locker room the most, kept his head down and kept silent. It seems that Mourinho was very angry and took all his anger out on the players.

Mourinho is no longer in the dressing room, and Di Maria next to him shrunk his neck: "It's good that I'm not a starter, otherwise I'll ......"

Chu Zhongtian noticed that Kaka's expression was not very good-looking, and he sat in his place with a dark face.

Kaka's performance in the first half was very average, Chu Zhongtian was wondering if Kaka was named and criticized by Mourinho, right? Or rather...... Mourinho plans to replace Kaka as soon as the break is over?

If that's the case, Chu Zhongtian can understand why Kaka's expression is so ugly - as a world-class star, he was replaced after only forty-five minutes in the first game of the league. Anyone would think that the team's poor performance in the first half was due to Kaka. But the problem is that Real Madrid's overall downturn should not let one player take the blame. Besides, Kaka hasn't found his form for a year and a half, and now Real Madrid's tactics are not very suitable for his survival...... Chu Zhongtian can already guess who Mourinho will replace if he wants to change Kaka. It was the "Angel" Di Maria who was secretly glad that he didn't start next to him just now. In this way, Real Madrid will return to last season's squad. Di Maria on the right and C. Ronaldo on the left. Mesut Ozil roamed freely up front.

Five minutes into the second half, Jose Mourinho confirmed Chu Zhongtian's guess, and Di Maria came on and replaced Kaka.

When Kaka walked off the field, he was a little unhappy. However, he shook Mourinho's hand before walking to the bench.

Chu Zhongtian stretched out his hand to Kaka. This Brazilian needs comfort now. Chu Zhongtian has always had a good impression of Kaka, when he was in Metz, he played against AC Milan, and he once defeated Kaka in the game.

Kaka and Chu Zhongtian high-fived and sat next to him, and a coach next to him handed him a dry towel to wipe his sweat.

He put the towel on his head and didn't move.

You could tell he was very disappointed.

It's been the third season since AC Milan moved to Real Madrid, but he still can't show his form when he was at AC Milan. Now there is a lot of criticism of him from the outside world. He is no longer the dominant world footballer of the year, a representative of the new generation of players. Once he could only catch up with Argentina behind his ass, Messi is now the number one person in world football, and what about him? Even the top three fell out.

He didn't know how long it would take for him to regain his form, or if he would be able to live in the same form he had before...... The speed of the wind, the powerful long-range shot, the quick obscuration of the opponent and the stride forward, can these still come back to him?

Kaka clenched his fists.

Chu Zhongtian noticed the strangeness of Kaka beside him, and he glanced at the Brazilian fist. Silent.

When he was in Metz, he met Kaka in the UEFA Super Cup, and the Brazilian was at the top of his game. He still remembers how happy he was when he chased Kaka for almost 70 meters and finally blocked Kaka's shot in front of the goal line because he had defeated the best man in world football at the time.

Now that the strongest has changed hands, Kaka is struggling with doubts.

Professional football is really cruel, there are talents from all generations, and each has led the way for two or three years...... Chu Zhongtian was sighing when he suddenly heard someone next to him calling his name.

"Chu, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian raised his head and saw the face of assistant coach Karanka, who was waving at him: "Go and warm up!" Fast! ”

Chu Zhongtian hurriedly leaned out and ran out, of course, he didn't forget to grasp the orange vest in his hand.

※※※ "Chu Zhongtian has warmed up!" The picture was everything, and He Ping, the commentator in the Beijing studio, screamed violently.

This voice woke up many Chinese fans who were drowsy in front of the TV.

Real Madrid's performance in this game is definitely not commendable, even Real Madrid fans will want to sleep when they see such a dull performance. What's more, there are many people who are simply looking at Chu Zhongtian.

"Just because you warm up doesn't mean you're going to play! Idiot narrator! The audience, who was disturbed by He Ping's throat, muttered and cursed. Surprised! I thought it was an appearance...... Let's call Lao Tzu when I come out! ”

Of course, there are also people who are excited with He Ping.

"Warm up! Warm up! Warming up means you're going to play, right? Soon, right? ”

"Look! I'll just say, now Real Madrid can't do anything with Osasuna's pressing defense, their attacking tempo is too slow, and the midfielders can't hold the ball at all, so it's time to make adjustments! ”

"Let Chu Zhong go to the sky! He's very good at dealing with pressing defenses! ”

※※※Chu Zhongtian observed the situation on the field during the warm-up. Osasuna seemed to have regained some strength after a fifteen-minute break at half-time and continued to press Real Madrid in the second half, never giving Real Madrid players a chance to take the ball and turn around whenever possible. Jose Mourinho brought on Di Maria and stepped up his assault on the wing, hoping to use the speed of the wing to attack Osasuna.

However, lacking support and support from the middle, Di Maria is only making small fights in the local area, and he always wants to open up the situation with his own dribbling. Who knows that Real Madrid has been divided into ** areas under the pressure of Osasuna, and Di Maria's area lacks strategy, so he will often face two or three people on the other side and then lose the ball. It's been five minutes and there hasn't been a single successful breakthrough, let alone a successful cross.

It looks like he's going to replace Khedira himself...... Chu Zhongtian warmed up for five minutes, and in these five minutes, Real Madrid's situation did not improve significantly, and he was still disturbed by Osasuna's pressing defense.

Chu Zhongtian, who had finished warming up, returned to the coach's seat, and assistant coach Karanka walked up with a tactical board: "You go up, Chu." Be responsible for the organization in the offensive and actively participate in every offense. Speed up the team's tempo. Beware of the opposition's pressing defense......"

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "Okay, I understand." He listened to the assistant coach as he fastened the straps of his shorts.

The TV broadcast gave Chu Zhongtian a shot, and his vest had been taken off, revealing the number and name behind him.

He Ping shouted again: "It's really going to appear!" ”

This time, some people woke up, they didn't fall asleep again, but after seeing Chu Zhongtian's appearance, they came to their senses.

After waiting for more than sixty minutes, I finally waited for Chu Zhongtian to appear!

"This is Chu Zhongtian's first league appearance wearing Real Madrid's No. 10 shirt!" He Ping began to explain from the moment Chu Zhongtian stood on the sidelines. "It will also be his first La Liga game! He played in Ligue 1, in the Bundesliga and now in La Liga. Europe's top five leagues are just behind the Premier League and Serie A. In every league he plays, he wins a big enough title, the UEFA Cup in Metz in Ligue 1 and the UEFA Cup in Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga! So what does he get in La Liga? Yes...... The fourth official raised the sign, No. 24 Khedi pulled down, No. 10 Chuzhong heaven!! ”

He Ping raised his voice sharply, and at the same time, in front of the TV and the computer, the Chinese fans also let out bursts of cheers.

After staying up all night, it was not in vain.

Also in a hotel room, Emily. Stan jumps up with his arms raised. Although she still thinks that Mourinho should be replaced by Chu Zhongtian at halftime, it is also a good result for her husband to play. And it left him more than twenty minutes to spare.

After Chu Zhongtian came on the field, he made a gesture to Alonso, and Alonso knew what his task was.

"Let's see, the Chinese player Chu is finally on the field! He spent 70 million euros from Hoffenheim to Real Madrid this summer, but he never seemed to impress the manager, Jose Mourinho, who has always been a substitute and has never started the game...... "The Spanish commentator introduced Chu Zhongtian to the audience.

For most Spanish fans, Chu Zhongtian is still a stranger.

He led the underdogs Hoffenheim to Barcelona in last season's Champions League final to lift the trophy. I think that's probably the main reason why Real Madrid spent so much money on him......"

※※※ After Chu Zhongtian came on the field, he shouted the names of C. Ronaldo and Di Maria, and then repeated a simple Spanish word: "Speed!" Velocity! ”

It's about asking them to speed up.

C. Ronaldo and Di Maria are certainly willing, they are speed players themselves, but how to speed up? Under Osasuna's pressing, speeding up means that the number of active errors has increased significantly, and before the attack can bear fruit, the ball may be conceded because of the active error.

Di Maria was a little skeptical, but C. Ronaldo didn't say anything.

Chu Zhongtian didn't explain, and said it later. When he was still at Hoffenheim, Rangnick's team was known for being fast in the Bundesliga. And he, as the absolute core of the team, was also forced by the opponent in the game. Therefore, how to play a quick attack when being forced to attack is already a compulsory course for him.

The game restarted with Osasuna organizing the attack.

Their attack was terminated when it hit the line of the back, and Chu Zhongtian far surpassed Khedira in terms of defensive ability, so replacing Chu Zhongtian and replacing Khedira did not weaken Real Madrid's midfield defense, but strengthened it.

Chu Zhongtian and Harvey. Alonso teamed up to cut off the football.

Chu Zhongtian directly dialed the football to Alonso on the side, and then stepped forward himself.

Alonso also knew that Chu Zhongtian was going to get the ball, so he passed the football over again. The two of them played a two-by-one, and Chu Zhongtian did not continue to carry the ball this time, but directly passed the football forward. The ball flew precisely in front of Di Maria, and he stretched out his leg to press the ball down.

"Oh! Nice long pass! The Spanish commentator exclaimed.

Chu Zhongtian, who completed the long pass, did not continue to stay in front like Alonso, but rushed forward in a straight line, like a 100-meter sprint, and pressed to the outside of Osasuna's big penalty area in a few seconds. Although the football did not return to his feet in the end, at least he fully fulfilled Mourinho's request to get him to be actively involved in every attack.

With 25 minutes left before the end of the game, Real Madrid had to equalize first, and secondly, they had to overtake the score and complete the comeback to win the game. A draw at the hands of Osasuna away from home is unacceptable. This season's Real Madrid is aiming for the championship, and this first step must be taken no matter what!

Chu Zhongtian quickly felt Osasuna's pressing defense, but he also taught Osasuna's players a lesson, and at the same time made the commentator exclaim.

At that time, Ozil passed back, Chu Zhongtian stretched out his right foot to stop, and Osasuna's players immediately kicked at his right foot, which was a foul action, in order to force Chu Zhongtian to make a mistake, even if he committed a foul in the end, they also successfully stopped a Real Madrid attack.

Who would have thought that Chu Zhongtian flicked his right foot very quickly, and gently flicked the football to the left, followed by him as if dancing, while raising his left foot to stop the ball, his right foot bounced back, and the whole person was in the air, and his body pressed on the opponent's player's body, on the one hand, he kept his center of gravity so that he would not fall to the ground, and on the other hand, he restricted the opponent's further action of grabbing the ball, killing two birds with one stone. The right foot dodged the opponent's ferocious kick, and the left foot firmly stuck the football.

“woooooooooow!! Pretty! ”

After using such a small action to dodge the opponent's pressing, Chu Zhongtian immediately pulled out and took the football out of the danger area.

After that, he didn't continue to dribble the ball, but went straight forward and the ball passed between the two Osasuna players!

"Chu's direct transmission! Precision! Wonderful! Lethal...... Higuain!! ”

The Argentine spear suddenly appeared behind Osasuna's defence, and it caught Osasuna's players off guard.

In the past, they relied on full-court pressing to dominate the field, and generally Real Madrid's attack made the opponent's pressing dizzy in the midfield, and the quality of the last pass was generally not high, and the threatening attacks were all made by relying on the super individual ability of the star.

So Osasuna is a bit underweight, they think that as long as they continue to press, Real Madrid will not be able to organize a decent offensive.

Who would have thought that Chu Zhongtian would defuse their pressing so lightly, thus disrupting Osasuna's defense.

Higuain turned his head to look at the linesman in the process of chasing the ball, and found that the linesman was running with him and did not stand still to raise the flag, which means that he was not offside!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The strength of the ball sent by Chu Zhongtian was just right, Higuain ran at his own speed, just enough to catch the ball, and there was still some distance from Osasuna's goalkeeper, which allowed him to calmly adjust his feet to shoot ...... "Higuain...... Higuain - !! goooooooooooooooooool! ”

Higuain adjusted his body orientation and then fired a right-footed shot from Osasuna goalkeeper Ricardo. Felipe's finger scurried into the goal!

"Sixty-ninth minute! Real Madrid equalised!! ”
