835 Self-Adjusting
Real Madrid have conceded goals in many games this season, and the backline that has been broken through in a concentrated game is due to the personal mistakes of the defenders who have caused the opponent to break the face!
And in a game like the one that was twice punctured by Liverpool at Anfield today, it's hard to say which player made a low-level mistake.
Liverpool played well overall and were very tactically targeted, which can make Real Madrid nervous.
While Liverpool was celebrating, Qin Xiong walked to the midfield belt, called Guti and Sneijder, and said to the two: "We can't press too much on the attack, Liverpool just wait for us to do this and then seize the opportunity to play a lethal counterattack in the most relaxed environment!" ”
Guti and Snead are not hairy boys, and their reading ability in the competition is naturally not bad, and the two nodded in agreement with Qin Xiong's opinion when they heard this.
Everyone knows the situation, but how to adjust it is a new problem.
In team play, players can't always change according to their own ideas, in that case, you want to do this, he wants to do that, and the tacit understanding of the overall cooperation of a team will collapse bit by bit.
Sneijder said seriously: "I dropped back into midfield to help with the ball and also strengthened the defence. ”
Guti then said: "I cut down on assists. ”
Qin Xiong nodded and said, "Not only that, but you two will shoot more long shots in the next time!" We're going to put some pressure on their backline from distance. ”
Sneijder and Guti looked at each other, then nodded together in agreement, and they instantly comprehended Qin Xiong's intentions.
When Real Madrid put the ball in the center circle and was about to kick off, Qin Xiong had a brief exchange with Raul and Robben.
Roughly speaking, it means creating long-range chances for Sneijder and Guti.
The game had only been played for 30 minutes, and Real Madrid were two goals behind. None of the teammates dared to play casually at this time. On the contrary, it condenses a united force.
When Qin Xiong stood up and instructed everyone to adjust their offensive strategy. My teammates showed their support.
After the restart, Benitez, who seemed to be sitting firmly on the sidelines, frowned slightly.
Real Madrid reduced pressure on Liverpool's back line and tightened their grip on the midfield.
This may seem to be a defensive adjustment that Real Madrid is afraid of conceding again.
But this is not what Benitez had predicted.
It stands to reason that the more teams lag behind, the more they will invest in the attack, just like the core philosophy of England's long ball: to get the ball into the danger zone as quickly as possible!
Putting more players up front and creating more pressure is also a practice that looks like it will increase the probability of scoring.
If that's the case. Real Madrid's crazy investment in the forward line and strive to play the ultimate press, then Liverpool's counterattack will have better attacking space, maybe it can completely destroy Real Madrid in this game!
But the situation is exactly the opposite of what Benitez had envisioned.
Real Madrid have strengthened their midfield defence, although it will not be as frequent as before, but it will also make it difficult for Liverpool to find good counter-attacking opportunities.
In other words, if Liverpool want to defeat Real Madrid through positional warfare, it will be very difficult.
Benitez thinks on the bright side: maybe Real Madrid is just a little panicked, let's see later.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Robben dribbled the football on the right side, and after coming to the front of Reese, he passed the ball to Qin Xiong, who was diagonally inserted.
Qin Xiong had a hard time getting rid of possession under Mascherano's follow-up. He pushed the ball diagonally behind him with the outside of his instep, and Guti, who was cut in behind, took a long-range shot from 30 yards out.
Benayoun immediately came to block it. Guti faked a shot, dribbling the ball sideways for two steps to avoid Benayoun's interception before passing the ball to Sneijder, who was running diagonally down the middle.
Sneijder this time is a direct long-range shot from the ball!
Guti's long-range shot just now did not have a good angle, and Liverpool's defensive strength was concentrated on this side, and the line, angle, and space were not good.
After moving to Sneijder's side, although the distance from goal was only 30 yards to about 25 yards, Sneijder had a better angle to shoot.
Sneijder slammed a cannon into the door.
The ball runs from the space between Arbeloa and Carragher to the bottom left corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Reina fell to the ground and swooped to block the ball with one palm.
Reina, who turned his head in front of the goal line, broke out in a cold sweat.
He saw with his own eyes that the ball was rolling off the bottom line against the outside of the post.
Almost got in!
The Reds fans in the Anfield stands also broke out in a cold sweat.
It's dangerous!
"Real Madrid almost scored from distance! Sneijder's long-range shot tested Reina, and although the football was saved by Reina, it still made Liverpool feel uneasy in that moment. ”
The mentality of the Real Madrid generals is still very good, and Qin Xiong's corner kick was cleared by Carragher.
Liverpool had a chance to counter-attack in the 34th minute, but Real Madrid's midfield was well prepared defensively, and after Kuyt pushed forward on the right flank, his cross to Gerrard was intercepted by Guti, and Diarra was responsible for entanglement Gerrard!
At this moment, Benitez sat in the dugout with a frown.
He had a sense of foreboding in his heart.
He sensed that Real Madrid were adjusting themselves in the game.
And this adjustment will suppress Liverpool's counter-attacking tactics!
In the 37th minute of the game, Sneijder passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong on the left side of the front.
In order to have space to control the ball, Qin Xiong shook off Alonso while retreating to respond, and after stopping the ball, he dribbled two steps horizontally and then sent a through pass to Raul.
With his back to goal under the mark of Hyypia and Carragher, Raul took the ball straight and slotted it diagonally to Arjen Robben, who cut down the middle.
Robben dribbled back and shook off Reese, who watched the situation down the middle before Benayoun came to block.
Qin Xiong stepped forward to send both Alonso and Mascherano back to the penalty line, and they concentrated on the left.
There was an opening in the middle, and Robben himself attracted Reese and Benayoun.
Real Madrid kept their opponents' defence at bay with superior individual possession and a superstar single threat.
Guti stepped in and got into a good long-range position, when Robben gently crossed the ball.
Benayoun came to Robben only after he had the ball out and he failed to intercept it.
Guti stopped the ball and adjusted his pace, followed by a right-footed volley.
The soccer ball flew a meter past Hyypia and it was a half-high ball!
Reina scolded his mother angrily, before he repeatedly blocked Real Madrid's shots in the penalty area, and now he has to face Real Madrid like a dozen accurate long-range shots!
After running fast, Reina pounced and blocked Guti's long-range shot with one palm! (To be continued.) )
