Chapter 1167 Hard Touch, Just Do It!
Zidane is an artist, not a tough guy!
It's hard to say whether he's an advantage or a disadvantage, but for this match, he's clearly not qualified.
Before the game, Zidane told the players, don't have more physical contact with Athletic Bilbao, your body is more expensive than them, you are injured, the loss is huge, so if you can avoid physical contact, try to avoid physical contact.
But Qi Zu didn't know what to say, with the development of society, the body of modern people is getting better and better, and thin players like Pele are almost difficult to see on the court, especially on the defensive end, all of them are tall and big, even if they are not tall, they are also strong.
Such physical conditions determine that the physical confrontation in modern football will be more frequent, and the technical players will suffer more and more.
Even if it is a special example like Di Maria, his physical confrontation is not weak at all, you see that he is thin, but you don't know that he is full of strength.
It's okay to deal with some technical teams, but if you deal with a team like Athletic Bilbao, players like Di Maria and Messi will suffer a lot, you are put down again and again, and get up again and again, if the referee gives face, maybe the opponent will be punished by a person, but if the referee does not give face, then you don't have to be delusional, you can only suffer a loss.
Zizou also got another thing wrong, and that is that the more you show weakness, the more arrogant your opponents will become, and against teams like Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, you can't lose to them in momentum, if you just blindly dodge. Blindly avoiding physical confrontation will end up with a drop in team morale. And the opponent's morale is improved, and there is no way to play this game.
Zidane should be glad he chose a good captain. Lin Yu fought the court twice in a row, but he didn't suffer, which made the other players of Real Madrid also come to the mental and physical confrontation all of a sudden? Who's afraid of whom!
You Athletic Bilbao players eat, we Real Madrid players eat too, and there are people in our squad who are physically stronger than you, more muscular? than confrontation? We're not afraid of you!
The so-called right medicine, depending on who says what, is actually the same truth. Against Barcelona, you can fight for skills, because skills are not weaker than the opponent, and the opponent is also a team, but against Athletic Bilbao, then you have to fight for your body, let them know that their so-called advantage is not worth mentioning at all, then they will completely collapse.
Since Lin Yu was charged with the goalkeeper, Real Madrid's tactics have become simple and crude. Players who are thinner and weaker, after getting the ball, go to players who are stronger and more confrontational, and they will open up an offensive path.
So this stage. Lin Yu, Pogba, Cristiano. Ronaldo has more balls, while Reus and Bale have fewer balls, and they can pass others. If you can't pass it, you can pass it directly, since you don't have the confidence to fight your body. Then leave it to someone who can fight for the body.
Although the style of play is simple, the momentum of the attack has not decreased in the slightest. Because Athletic Bilbao itself has a very simple style of play, it's not interesting for you to do so many complicated things, but to go straight and simple to attack, which can hurt this team.
You can directly knock out the opponent with one punch, don't play monkey boxing in front of others for a long time, and it would be too embarrassing to knock out someone else with one punch after the last punch.
Zidane saw the changes on the field, and was also thinking about the shortcomings of his tactics, after all, he was only a coach for two seasons, although the results were brilliant, but he himself knew very well that behind the brilliant results, his credit could not be regarded as the first, the real credit was Lin Yu's, and the other players of Real Madrid did not have less credit than him.
To put it mildly, even if it weren't for him Zidane at this time, even if Real Madrid changed a reliable coach casually, it would be able to achieve the same results as in the previous two seasons.
So Zidane is not satisfied, he can't always rely on Lin Yu, all the time rely on these players, after all, the player's ability is also weak, if it comes to the time when he has to stand up, what should he do? Isn't it okay not to improve your ability?
Of course not!
Of course, you can be proud of the number of indiscriminate charges, but if you don't have real skills, sooner or later you will be exposed, Zida knows this deeply in his heart, so he must sum up his experience through every game, and then improve himself.
As the head coach, he may coach for many years, at that time maybe he is no longer in Real Madrid, maybe even if he is still here, the players have changed, Lin Yu has long since retired, at that time, it is impossible for him to find a second person to replace Lin Yu, he does not believe that there will be players like Lin Yu in this world, so to succeed in the future, he has to rely on himself.
……
Perhaps seeing his team at a disadvantage and the goal in jeopardy, Athletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde did something stupid.
Maybe it's not stupid for him, it's even smart, but it's a big stupid thing for this game.
Look at the time, forty minutes have passed in the first half, and there are only five minutes before the end, even if there is only about a minute of stoppage time, after all, it is only the first half, and the stoppage time will definitely not be too long.
Valverde felt that the team's defense was tight now, so he asked the players to defend all the way back to hold the 0-1 scoreline, so that there was still a chance to equalize in the second half.
Whether it is a commentator or a media reporter, they all feel that Valverde's approach is not wrong, but Zidane feels it at this time.
Athletic Bilbao is weak.
There is such a thing as a potential that cannot be seen or touched on the football field, but it does exist because it can be felt.
If a team plays against another team, if it is weak, it can end up being a disadvantage in the game.
It's a lot like a duel between two martial arts masters, and the two sides may fight at first, or even do something that they don't seem to want to do. But they all know that it is affecting each other's minds. Once the other party has abnormal emotions, then the momentum will be weak. You don't even have to fight, you can know who loses and who wins.
Athletic Bilbao is not as strong as Real Madrid, and the reason why they have only conceded one goal so far is because they are nothing more than a strong force, they refuse to give in and refuse to admit defeat, which makes them unprecedentedly strong.
However, Valverde's approach seriously weakened this momentum, only for a moment. Real Madrid had the upper hand.
Zinedine Zidane's eyes lit up, but Valverde sensed something was wrong.
Before he could make any adjustments, Real Madrid's attack had already arrived.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Pogba intercepted in the middle of the field, and then launched a quick counterattack directly.
Some people say that the opponent's dense defense is impossible to succeed quickly, which makes sense, but that also depends on who says it, if you have a player like Lin Yu in the front court, let alone dense defense. Even if all eleven people were standing in the forbidden area, they might not be able to stop him.
Pogba didn't hesitate to steal the ball and handed it to Gareth on the wing. Bel.
Bell's ability at this time is revealed, he can run. is able to bring, and in the case of being able to drive straight in, he can't stop it at all.
As Bilbao narrowed the defense. So it led to the emptiness of the wing, and Bale didn't have to care about anything at all. It's enough to just go forward and dribble the ball desperately.
In the stands, Real Madrid fans set off another wave of cheering climax. And among these people, Rebecca, who was not used to it, also shouted along.
The general environment can really affect a person, and poor Rebecca was so affected and became a complete "female man".
……
The Athletic Bilbao players kept guarding for Bale's high crosses, but Bale didn't, cutting inside and keeping the ball close to the baseline.
This action surprised many people, but there was one person who was not surprised, and that was Lin Yu.
They have been playing together for so long, coupled with the countless cooperation in the ball king cultivator, Lin Yu knows every habit of Bell well, he saw Bell's shoulders pressed down, and he knew that this product must be brought to the bottom line, so he didn't make a jump at all, but kept rushing to the goal.
A clear passing fairy road has been formed in his mind.
When Bale brought the ball near the baseline, he chose to pass, but instead of a high ball, it was a low flat shot.
The ball speed was very fast, and it passed through in an instant, blocking this line of Athletic Bilbao defenders, one did not react, and the other directly did not wear the crotch, and then what Lin Yu had to do was to send the ball into the goal, at this time the distance between him and the ball was less than half a foot, and the distance from the goal was only about one foot.
"Lin Yu ——!"
Sergio. Durant is nervous again, he needs to be nervous, as a commentator, he should drive the emotions of the fans in front of the TV, otherwise what else to comment, flat and straightforward things, anyone who knows how to speak can do it.
Lin Yu stretched out his foot, and Athletic Bilbao's goalkeeper Ereling also saved, it seems that this goalkeeper is going to use his body to block Lin Yu's shot, just like before, let Lin Yu rush the goalkeeper to foul, or scare Lin Yu to stop his foot.
This is indeed a dangerous situation, if Lin Yu does not close his feet, then it is very likely that he will kick Ereling's body, causing Erering to be injured, and he is very likely to be shown a red card for not closing his feet.
How to choose?
Lin Yu gave everyone's answer.
When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!
Lin Yu fought hard, he just wanted to tell everyone that even if this game was only a small victory, he couldn't lose to the other party in momentum.
Seeing Lin Yu's feet, Erelyn was finally scared, the fear of being hit in the head by the ball kicked out by Lin Yu was still there, and the seed was frantically taking root at this time, and finally made him give up the choice of going head-to-head with Lin Yu.
He was frightened, lost to Lin Yu in momentum, and chose to dodge.
As a result, Lin Yu only lightly touched the ball, and the ball jumped into the goal.
The Athletic Bilbao players reacted quickly by protesting to the referee that Lin Yu had fouled Lin Yu and made dangerous moves.
However, the referee was clearly affected by the previous decision, this time in favor of Lin Yu, he did not agree with the complaint of the Athletic Bilbao player, but pointed to the center circle with his left hand, and blew the whistle at the same time, and the goal was valid.
……
“Great! Goooooooooooooooal! ”
"Lin Yu! Lin Yu! Lin Yu! Brace! He helped Real Madrid to a two-goal lead! ”
"It's really beautiful, Lin Yu only needs to hesitate a little, this ball is gone, in that case, he didn't even hesitate at all, it can be seen how firm his mind is, this is the ambition to score goals!"
"Pretty plugged in, nice kick in the door!"
"The Athletic Bilbao players think the ball is fouled and think Lin Yu has a dangerous move! But in fact, it was their goalkeeper who dodged first, if he didn't dodge, this was indeed a dangerous move, Lin Yu might even be sentenced to a red card, but there is no if in this world, it was the goalkeeper of Athletic Bilbao who admitted it first, but Lin Yu can't be blamed, in this hard-hitting situation, Lin Yu defended his dignity!
