776 Offense instead of Defense!
Amid the cheers at the Pizjuan Stadium, Bosque rose from the dugout and walked to the sidelines, giving the players the order to warm up when Pepe was sent off.
Lao Shuai's eyes bloomed with a calm light, and his substitution decision surprised many people, even surprised!
Metzelder came to Bosque's side, and Bosque gave him orders to fight and adjust his defensive tactics after he came on the field.
Two minutes later, Real Madrid made a substitution.
"Bosque actually replaced the full-back with a centre-back! It's shocking.
He doesn't intend to fill the gap in Real Madrid's backline and maintain the integrity of the attacking group up front! ”
Full-back Marcelo ran briskly to the sidelines, probably the least famous player in the Real Madrid squad and a member of the bottom of the dressing room, and he did not dare to complain when he was passively substituted due to the change of situation!
Bosque patted Metzelder on the back and sent him in, then greeted Marcelo and comforted Marcelo in his ear, hoping that Marcelo could understand that the team was not sacrificing him, but that he was making a selfless contribution to the team!
I have to say that the old coach is still very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships in the locker room and maintaining a harmonious relationship between generals.
Metzelder comes on to replace Marcelo!
This is clearly an unreasonable substitution.
Usually when a team's defender or defensive midfielder is sent off, the head coach will remove an attacking player to keep the defensive system tight.
But Bosque knows that Real Madrid is attacking instead of defending!
The defense itself does not depend on the hard power of the defensive system!
If you weaken the offense and strengthen the defense, this may seem like a normal move, but in fact, the defensive effect will be greatly reduced.
After being sent off. It's about taking out a frontcourt offensive player to disrupt an attacking group system that has matured and has a lot of offensive firepower. Or adjust your defensive tactics to continue to let the attacking group put pressure on your opponent. The lesser of two evils, Bosque chose the latter!
At the same time, I am also considering the feelings of the big-name players in the team, the attacking players in the front court, no matter who they replace, may not be easy to deal with, and replacing Marcelo in the defender, the appeasement work may be a hundred times easier!
Metzelder came on and ran to the back line to take up the centre-back position, and then he pointed to Cannavaro and Ramos and yelled at each of them.
Cannavaro and Ramos nodded in understanding.
Real Madrid changes formation 342!
No fullbacks!
Ramos plays at right centre-back. Metzeld central defender, Cannavaro left central defender!
At the end of the substitution, Bosque returned to the dugout and watched the rest of the game unfold.
Real Madrid's attacking group system was not disrupted and continued to launch an offensive against Sevilla.
In the 26th minute of the game, Sneijder and Qin Xiong collided with the wall in front of the penalty area and then cut into the bottom line of the penalty area, he suddenly knocked the ball back in front of the penalty area, and under the cover of Qin Xiong's front, Guti came to the front of the penalty area and had space to get up, and he made adjustments after stopping the ball. Then hit the door with a heavy shot!
Seeing the ball fly into the bottom right corner of the goal, full-back Dragutinovic cleared the ball with a big kick from the edge of the post!
Guti jumped on the spot and roared. I was particularly unhappy that the goal was not scored.
Sevilla had another chance to counter-attack in the 29th minute, when Keylor Navas burst in from the flank, but when he reached the bottom line of the flank to make a cross, Real Madrid easily cleared his cross.
After changing to a back three, Real Madrid's protection in the box has improved significantly.
This made Sevilla's cross tactics plummet!
Sevilla may have seen that Real Madrid had become more comfortable in attacking after the change of back three, so they decided to invest more in attack.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Qin Xiong was caught by Keita and Paulsen in front of the penalty area after receiving Guti's pass and failed to control the football.
Keita took control of the ball and set up a counter-attack, with Diarra consciously moving early to block Navas's path, but this time, Keita slotted the ball forward on the left.
Adriano slotted forward and took the ball and rushed forward, which caught the Real Madrid defence a little off guard.
However, after Adriano dribbled to the danger zone, Ramos ventured forward to intercept, Adriano lacked a central response, and barely passed the ball to Kanute in front of the penalty area under Ramos's pressure, Metzelder could only be hard at this time, he completed a key interception in a thrilling way, and destroyed the ball at Canute's feet.
Guti, who retreated to take control, took control of the ball.
Real Madrid fans have never been so worried about the team's defense this season.
I have to say that Sevilla is indeed more difficult to deal with than other opponents after sufficient preparation and tactical research, and the extreme defense cannot be said to completely restrain Real Madrid, but at least it can play a counterattack threat after the defensive quality is improved, which is already commendable.
Guti controlled the ball and turned to observe the situation in the front court, and thanks to Adriano's assist, Real Madrid's attack had more space.
Guti passed the ball to Sneijder in front of the left, and then cut forward all the way, Sneijder advanced two steps with the ball and then passed the ball back to the middle, Qin Xiong contained Keita and Paulsen, Guti continued to dribble forward after receiving it in place, he was extremely calm and composed, judging the situation and waiting for new changes in the offensive situation.
After he stepped into the danger zone, Paulsen finally took the step of making Guti make a choice!
He gave up on Qin Xiong to block Guti's advance head-on.
Guti was waiting for this moment, and he handed the ball straight to Qin Xiong, who was also running.
In the middle of the big penalty area, Qin Xiong met Guti's pass, and Keita was ready to break down at any time.
But Qin Xiong didn't give Keita a chance, and he kicked the ball out and crossed it to the right.
After passing the ball, Qin Xiong immediately changed to cut forward, and Robben, who moved from the right side to the middle, also kicked the ball, and the accurate through ball passed the ball to the line where Qin Xiong was running.
Qin Xiong entered the penalty area, Crespo blocked the shooting line along Qin Xiong's running line, Qin Xiong raised his right leg to raise his leg to shoot, Crespo immediately raised his leg to intercept, but Qin Xiong buckled the ball at his feet and stopped at the same time.
Crespo rushed in front of Qin Xiong's eyes, and the moment the two staggered each other, in Qin Xiong's cold sight, Sevilla's goal was opening up to him indefinitely!
Pushing the ball to the dead corner of the lower right corner of the goal, Qin Xiong watched the football roll into the goal, and the palm of goalkeeper Palop flew to save the ball to block the football, but it was only a little bit short! (To be continued......)
