'Benfica's players have come out, oh oh my God, Coach Koeman has come up in a strange formation, the only striker is Gomez, he's 30 years old, but he's still very fast and efficient, I think Koeman is hoping that Gomez can help Benfica score today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"However, Benfica's formation is a bit strange, so let's take a look at their lineup, the striker is Gomez, the midfielder is No. 6 Petit, No. 16 Beto, No. 58 Karagunis, No. 14 Manuel. Fernandes and No. 34 Robert, Koeman fielded a five-midfield combination today, is it trying to control the game with strong midfield control? ”

"Well, let's move on to Benfica's line-up, their defenders are No. 4 Luisson, No. 3 Anderson and No. 5 Koeman, No. 31 Osides and goalkeeper No. 1 Moretto."

'The starting line-up should be considered Benfica's main line-up, but Simão was a bit strange not playing today, as it looks like a good counter-attacking style of play and it seems that Koeman has done a lot of work before the game. Real Madrid have a strong attacking ability, and relying on Benfica's attack to play against them seems unrealistic, and perhaps Koeman is right. ”

Before the game even started, the on-site commentators began to babble about Benfica's starting lineup.

As the commentator said, this lineup is a little strange, you must know that Simão is Benfica's top scorer, and Benfica's standard lineup should be 433, but in this game, they became 451, and it looks like they really want to control the midfield, but such a lineup is a bit nondescript to play defensive counterattacks, which is really confusing.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is still the standard 442 formation, Carlo has not made any big changes to the formation, the striker is still a combination of Wang Li and Robinho, the midfielders Zidane, Beckham, Baptista and Gravison, and the defenders are Robert. Carlos, Ramos, Ruben and Cicinho, goalkeeper Casillas.

In this way, Wang Li became the captain on the field again.

Due to Pavon's injury, Wang Li has been wearing the captain's armband in recent games, and other players are convinced by this. In Real Madrid, Wang Li's reputation is much higher than Pavon's, and perhaps Pavon can still be the captain because he comes from Real Madrid's academy.

After Florentino moved to the Royals, the team's founding criteria were to use the world's biggest stars to drive the growth of local stars, and at the same time make the club a commercial combination that could make money for each director, under the purpose of building the team, since 2001, the captain of Real Madrid has been a local Spanish player, even the vice-captain.

However, Wang Li's value is too high and his reputation in the team is too high, for him to be the captain, other players and fans take it for granted, and Real Madrid Club or head coach Carlo is also just pushing the boat

At this time, Carlo looked at Benfica's formation, his face was full of doubts, and he couldn't figure it out.

If a layman sees Benfica's formation, he just thinks that they have changed their style of play, 451 formation to play defensive counterattack, and it is also said in the past, but before the game, Carlo carefully studied the information of each player in Benfica, and now he sees this kind of lineup, but he is a little puzzled, because in the current Benfica lineup, the midfield five are rarely similar to David. A player like David Beckham who is good at long passes, and the Portuguese-style short pass penetration, if you want to break through Real Madrid's defense, you must have a striker.

But Benfica only has one striker Gomez, although the veteran is fast, but after all, he is 30 years old, and his condition is certainly not better than Simao, and he is better at grabbing points, and he is a striker who belongs to the body.

Such a striker to play a defensive counterattack? It's a strange thing to do.

Benfica fans don't see it that way.

As loyal fans, they have always believed in the quality of Gomez, and although in the last two seasons, Gomez has not scored as many goals as Simangdo, but his place in the hearts of Benfica fans is unquestionable, and he has earned the trust of all fans with his previous performances.

The Stadium of Light was packed today, and the Lisbon fans were so enthusiastic about Benfica's first semi-final in the Champions League since 2000 that their hearts were boiling before the game even began.

For this match, Benfica fans will certainly hope that Benfica can get a victory, preferably by scoring a few more goals so that they have a better chance of getting the team to the final.

However, they still have some concerns about the game, and the focus is on Wang Li.

In the European Cup two years ago, the shadow of the black-haired boy on the field has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of these Lisbon fans, although the England team has not achieved any good results, but Wang Li is definitely one of the topics of conversation among Lisbon fans, because his playing time is only less than 90 minutes, but in 90 minutes, he scored 4 goals!!

At the time, Lisbon fans thought the brunette would grow into a great star.

And now this idea has come true, in just one year, he has scored countless goals and become the most valuable player in the world, and the value of 200 million euros is beyond the reach of all stars, although there are many, many commercial values in this, but it also shows the strength of this brunette boy.

Not to mention before, talking about Wang Li's performance this season is what worries Benfica fans the most, because in this season, Wang Li's goal efficiency is higher.

For a big-name star, a hat-trick in the European Champions Cup may be remembered for a lifetime, and it's a great honour, but for the brunette boy, it's almost commonplace.

How can such a player not worry them?

and Barcelona can score 5 goals!?

Thinking about this data, and then thinking about the situation where Benfica and Barcelona did not score a goal in a home game, Benfica fans are even more worried, there is a comparison to be more convincing, if they don't play with Barcelona, Benfica fans can still think that other teams are not good, but now, they know that the strength of this black-haired kid is indeed very strong, strong enough to affect the outcome of a game.

In this worried mood, after the game started, whenever Wang Li took the ball, they unanimously booed to affect Wang Li's performance, hoping to compete for a greater winning rate for the team.

This situation has affected the performance of other Real Madrid players a little, this is the advantage of the home field, whether it is the commentator or the fans, the heart is towards the home team, and today there are less than 5,000 Real Madrid fans who entered the Stadium of Light, and it is difficult for them to make any waves in the face of ten times the strength

Back on the pitch, Wang Lichai succeeded and he chose the kick-off for his team, while Real Madrid's first attack ended with David on the wing. Beckham is tackled to the end.

After that, Benfica launched a counterattack.

Judging from this wave of attacks, the Benfica players' running coordination is very tacit, and the players play normally, especially Gomez, who is in front of him in the middle, he has received the ball and shook two defenders of Real Madrid in a row, such a performance does not show that he is 30 years old.

However, the current formation has too much influence on Benfica! In the attack, only Gomez stands more forward, which is the same as before, even if Simão plays, Gomez will also be at the front, but in this game, the other players are too far behind.

In the past, the combination of five midfielders was closer to the 433 formation, only two wings moved forward, and the other two in the midfield made up for a three-back and a 433 formation of two forwards, but in this wave of Benfica's attack, the two wings were not inserted at all, and several players were all blocked near the midline, which made the defenders behind them have no room to insert the attack.

This kind of running position made Benfica's attack not play at all, and after Gomez's amazing performance, it ushered in the weakness of the attack in the frontcourt, which made the football snatched back by Real Madrid after a few passes.

What's even more strange is that seeing this kind of performance, Benfica coach Coman on the sidelines did not say anything, but looked relaxed, and it seemed that this was what he ordered.

This scene made Carlo a little worried, after all, although Real Madrid is very strong, Benfica's style of play on the field is too strange.

In fact, Koeman's tactics in this game were to defend, yes, defensively, not to counter-attack.

Before the game, Koeman had already injured his brain in order to study the team's match against Real Madrid, because no matter how you look at it, Benfica could not be the opponent of Real Madrid, who beat Barcelona 8-0.

However, the game is about to start and he must work out a possible way for his team to win.

If you look at the normal style of play, Benfica don't say that they want to win at home, even if they want to keep the draw is unrealistic, many, many coaches' defensive strategies against Real Madrid have all failed, Coman knows his level very well, he knows that the tactics he formulated for a while are impossible to keep the goal, mainly because the black-haired boy of Real Madrid is too strong in personal ability, almost as long as he is given a chance, then the goal cannot be kept.

Such a player will give every coach a headache, after all, no matter how good the tactics are, the players have to play, and it is impossible to not make a mistake on the court.

So, when Coman thought about the penalty shoot-out, he had a flash of inspiration: "Why can't you defend with all your might? ”

Maybe it's a bit of an unbelievable idea, but it's a good way to play against a team like Real Madrid that is almost impossible to beat, isn't it?

At the very least, it would greatly increase Benfica's chances of victory, and while it's humiliating to play like that at home, 21st century football is utilitarian football, and a bunch of people mock Mourinho's defence, but Mourinho can still be the most popular coach.

As a result, Koeman decided to let his team go all out on defense.

If it can draw 0:0 with Real Madrid over two legs, then Benfica has a chance to eliminate Real Madrid with a penalty shootout, which is the best conclusion that Coman came to after thinking about it for a few nights, and he also told everyone about this tactic and the coaching staff, although some people objected, but thinking about the strength of Real Madrid, it was unanimously approved in the end.

This is also a helpless move by Coman and Benfica.

Although the fans will be dissatisfied with this style of play, as long as they win, everyone will be satisfied, and if they lose?? Then Koeman will not be able to continue to coach Benfica in the summer, nothing else has to do with him, and there is no point in wanting to fail.

So the next task is how to get the most out of Benfica's defense and give the team more chances to keep the goal.

It's a lot easier than trying to win, because Koeman just has to think about defending.

In fact, before the game, Coman didn't even want to send Gomez out, but if he didn't send a striker on the field, not to mention that the fans were not satisfied, and even Real Madrid would see through his tactics at a glance, so that they would attack without scruples, and Benfica would quickly fall into passivity.

That's why Gomez got the chance to play, and maybe he should thank Real Madrid

On the field, when Benfica was attacking, Wang Li did not participate in the defense, because Benfica's attack did not look strong, and their players rarely inserted, Wang Li observed this, so he was not too worried about the team's defense, just stayed in the front court and waited for the opportunity.

However, he didn't have many opportunities.

Whenever he was in front, there were two Benfica players patrolling around him, and when he got the ball, there were three players who would rush up together to surround him, and at the beginning, Wang Li was not too worried, because he felt that the Portuguese team was not strong, but after a few attacks, he found that this idea was wrong.

Petit.

This player seems to be unfamous, but he is a regular in the World Cup, in addition to a very good midfield breakthrough ability, good awareness, his defense is also a coach to talk about, in the midfield, he will be an all-round player, and the midfielder's interception ability is very outstanding, but perhaps because of the lack of stunning performances, his fame is not conspicuous.

Louisson.

In the summer of 2003, Anderson. Louis. Da Silva. Luizao joined Portugal Benfica for €890,000. Luisson's first season in the Portuguese Premier League was very difficult, with 15 appearances in the league and average performances. However, from the 2004/05 season onwards, Luisson gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Portuguese Super League, and he quickly became the team's main centre-back, and he has made 37 appearances this season, playing almost all of Benfica's games.

These two unknown players, both with excellent awareness and movement, are under the guidance of Koeman, who are specifically responsible for defending Wang Li.

As a defender, Wang Li feels very depressed, if there are only these two people, it's better, he can break through directly, but whenever he gets the ball, Benfica's other players will rush up to the wall accordingly, and Benfica's backcourt defense is very dense, he doesn't have much space to dribble the ball at all, which makes it difficult for his offense to play.

As the offensive core of Real Madrid, his performance almost affects the performance of the entire Real Madrid.

In the face of such a defense, Wang Li knew that he had to run a little more. If the range of runs is widened, it will be very difficult for Benfica to defend themselves because there are many other problems involved

Once again, Real Madrid's attack was in vain, and it was Benfica's turn to counterattack.

However, this attack still ended with a steal in the middle, of course, Benfica's players did not insert at all under Koeman's tactics, and wanted to rely on 1 or 2 players to break through Real Madrid's defense, which is really a bit of a dream.

However, when Benfica's attack is weak, Real Madrid's attack is also weak, because their defense behind is too dense, which makes Real Madrid players have a feeling of not being able to get off their feet, and they don't know where to attack to break Benfica's defense and find a scoring opportunity.

At this time, they put their hopes on Wang Li, but now Wang Li himself is in trouble, and he still wants to rely on the cooperation of other Real Madrid players.

This makes both teams seem to be in a state of scorching.

Seeing this, there was no one happier than Koeman, who was successful in his defensive tactics for at least the opening 15 minutes.

Yes, in the first 15 minutes of the game, Real Madrid's attacking performance was not very good, and there were some reasons because they didn't know what Benfica was playing, if the attack was too high and Benfica launched a wave of surprise attacks, then the situation was not good, and the bigger reason was that Benfica's defense was really good.

And Benfica is also weak in attack, often an attack does not last half a minute before Real Madrid steals, but the defense is very powerful, just opened, even Gomez returned to the penalty area line to participate in the defense, such an iron bucket formation, so that Real Madrid players are overwhelmed at the same time, are a little numb.

Perhaps, next, they will have to think of ways to deal with this tactic.

If the game goes on like this, Koeman's tactics may have succeeded.

Seeing this situation, Real Madrid coach Carlo couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Koeman on the other side, and I have to say that Koeman made the best choice, but this choice requires a lot of determination - "Isn't he afraid of the fans' opposition?" Could it be that Benfica would agree to do this? ”

This tactic, even if Benfica kept the goal, after the game, Coman would have been blamed, but he still did it for the sake of the team, and that's what made Carlo admire.

At least after he took charge of Real Madrid, he did not dare to make changes to the team's style of play.

This is the inheritance of a giant team, and it is also the helplessness of being a team coach.

"However, this style of play is really shameless," Carlo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Now for Real Madrid, there is no other way but to choose to attack aggressively, but in the face of Benfica's full defense, even Carlo has no confidence in whether Real Madrid can break through the goal
