Volume 1 Chapter 513 Fooled!
"Hello everyone, I'm José Maria, and welcome to the first leg of the UEFA Champions League UR to the UEFA Champions League round of 16 knockout round of 09 that we are broadcasting live from the Santiago Bernabeu"
"The game is about to start"
José Maria sat in the media stand area of the Bernabeu Stadium to explain the game, and he was regarded by many Spanish fans as a national treasure-level commentator, and Andy Gray of England and Stephen Simon of Germany are known as the three famous mouths in Europe and are the ace commentators of Spain.
Andy Gray is a professional footballer with a prominent football career and has won the title of the best player in England's top flight, so his commentary is very professional, and he can always explain everything that happens on the pitch in simple words.
Stephen Simon is a different type, he is very controversial and may be a spice, and for the stereotypical Germans, they prefer to be entertained and even happy to hear this guy who always judges the future of the game with a very positive tone.
José Maria is different, the reason why he can get a huge annual salary of six million euros a year is really related to his native Spanish, because Spanish itself is a very fast language, and José Maria's commentary style is fast, when you see something, he has already told you, and he can always speak very fast and rhythmic, so that you feel a passion and excitement.
Many female Spanish fans have said that the most charming time for José Maria is when he plays the long note of "GOAL", which is estimated to be the first in the world, and they find it very charming.
It's like this game, he starts with a long series of words crackling, without the slightest break or pause, and you can hear it clearly, and it will be introduced clearly at once.
"We've got the starting line-up for both sides for this game"
"Real Madrid have been very good in the past period, Juan de Ramos has no intention of changing the main line-up, the goalkeeper is still Casillas, the backline is Heinze, Cannavaro, Pepe and Ramos, the midfielders are Vargas, Gago, Las Diarra and Robben, and the forward duo is Gonzalo Higuain and Raul."
'Real Madrid's starting line-up wasn't a surprise, but so was Tottenham'.
'The goalkeeper is Cech, Marcelo, Ziglinski, Thiago Silva and Alves at the back, the midfield trio is David Silva, Yaya Toure and Cesc Fabregas, and up front Gareth Bale, Robin van Persie and Messi.
"Unfortunately, Franck Ribery has suffered a groin strain and has not been able to return to the game so far, and it is expected that he will not be seen until the second leg at the earliest, and compared to the last game against Real Betis, Real Madrid only replaced Huntelaar who could not play in the Champions League with Higuain in the forward position
"The referee for this match was Roberto Rossetti from Italy, who had officiated in the European Championship final and was regarded as the most authoritative referee in Italy since Collina, and UEFA arranged for him to officiate this game"
"By the way, Roberto Rossetti is fluent in Italian, French and English, and his usual job is the director of a hospital, but he seems to be a bit fierce."
"Well, the players of both teams slowly walked into the Bernabeu Stadium under the leadership of Roberto Rossetti, and we saw a burst of enthusiastic cheers to welcome the home team players who have been doing very well recently, and Tottenham Hotspur also had some fans following the team to the away stadium, and the game was about to start"
With the referee's whistle, Tottenham Hotspur, who were playing away, won the kick-off first.
Van Persie played the ball to Messi, who quickly passed it back and quickly passed it to the back line after the midfield transition.
Real Madrid started the game fiercely, rushing at the Tottenham Hotspur backline as soon as they came up, putting up enough momentum to use the opening blow to press down Tottenham Hotspur, and Higuain and Raul also quickly pressed the backline, forcing Thiago Silva to launch a long pass directly from the back.
The ball arrived in the front court, and was quickly grabbed by Cannavaro for the first point, and quickly passed back to Gago in the midfield, the Argentine quickly distributed to the right side, Robben took the ball, but Marcelo behind him blocked him, stuck the position in advance to cut off the pass that he had not stopped, and then passed back to Ziglinski.
Real Madrid's entire formation was pressed very high, Raul and Higuain both pressed the Tottenham Hotspur backline, the central defenders had no way to make a long pass forward, but this time it was still Pepe who pressed Van Persie, and the header was back to the midfield, and the ball was still at the feet of Real Madrid.
"Real Madrid pressed fiercely after the opening, which is also the tactic of Juander Ramos when he played Real Betis"
Jose Maria also commented on Real Madrid's big win over Real Betis, and he was still quite impressed.
"If Real Madrid can play well in this game, I believe there are still certain opportunities, but Tottenham Hotspur must not be allowed to control the rhythm and situation, otherwise, Real Madrid will be very dangerous."
This is a Champions League game and José Maria is facing Spanish fans, so his commentary will be appropriately biased towards Real Madrid, but not too much, after all, everyone wants the commentator to be a little neutral.
The game went on for more than three minutes in this fast pace of you coming and going, the time passed quickly, Real Madrid pressed fiercely, and Tottenham Hotspur was a little uncomfortable with such a sudden pressing, which is also very normal, after all, you just came to a strange stadium, an unfamiliar environment, and met this group of strangers like wolves, and it is natural to not adapt.
'The key issue is that Real Madrid must not give Tottenham a chance to breathe a sigh of relief,' said Jose Maria.
A lot of home wins are like that, and after taking the initiative in the opening game, putting the game into a rhythm that you're really uncomfortable with, and you can't play your whole game, then I'll win.
In the fourth minute, Real Madrid finally played an attack, Las Diarra midfielder cooperated with the retreating Raul, stepped forward to take the ball and sent it to the right, Robben finally seized a chance on the right side, and quickly broke through with the ball.
Marcelo followed Ye Qiu's previous instructions and arrangements, always paying attention to Robben, and seeing that he couldn't stop Robben from taking the ball, he went around to Robben's inside, forcing Robben to cut in.
If Robben on the right side can't cut inside and let him cross from the bottom, although his right foot was required to practice by Ye Qiu when he was at Ajax, it is still not feasible, so the threat will be greatly reduced.
But Robben is Robben in the end, after playing in Real Madrid for a few years, Robben's strength is not as good as it was back then, a sudden stop change of direction after an accelerated sprint on the left side, and he turned the bottom into an inside cut at the front of the big penalty area, and at the same time blocked Marcelo with his body and got the initiative to cut inside.
Arjen Robben cut inside along the penalty line from the right and when he was about to reach the top of the arc, Ziglinski had to come out, and Yaya Toure also quickly tried to come over to complete the package, but Robben made a through ball between the two and passed into the box, and Raul was seen diagonally behind Ziglinski from outside the box.
Thiago Silva was close to Raul and used his body to force Raul to receive the ball, but he was unable to make contact with Higuain, who was unguarded on the right, forcing Raul to shoot himself or pass to the right side of the penalty area and wait for Ramos to intervene and reorganize.
Raul eventually opted to hit the ball and had a tacit understanding with Thiago Silva, blocking Raul's shot angle, and in the end Raul's shot almost seemed to hit Petr's arms.
Although they failed to score, Real Madrid's attack won the cheers of all the fans in the entire Bernabeu.
Ye Qiu obviously realized the problem as well, walked out of the coach's seat, walked into the command area, and made adjustments towards the players on the field.
First of all, Marcelo, Ye Qiu asked him to follow Robben and pay attention to blocking the inside route, and then Yaya Toure, Ye Qiu asked him to pay more attention to the protection of the front of the big penalty area, because once Real Madrid takes the side to advance the inside cut, it must be in the front of the big penalty area to seek cooperation, so the protection of the front of the big penalty area is very important.
"Ye Qiu took the lead in making adjustments, and he obviously noticed that Real Madrid's offensive in this game was very fierce, a bit unexpected to him, just now Robben cut inside and passed into the penalty area after getting rid of Marcelo on the right side, which is indeed very beautiful," Jose Maria said.
The Bernabeu fans at the scene were also cheering happily and cheering for the team.
After the first threat, Real Madrid also seemed to play with confidence and continued to insist on pressing tactics in the midfield, but soon, Ye Qiu noticed a very serious problem with Real Madrid.
"Mauro, have you noticed" Ye Qiu turned his head sideways and looked at Mauro Tassoti, who was standing with him.
In almost every game, as long as Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines to command, Mauro Tasotti would follow, and the two often discussed some tactical issues and experiences even in the game.
Mauro Tasotti nodded, "The formation is too long"
The players in front of them were almost close to Tottenham's defence, probably at the edge of the penalty area, while the players in the back were in their own half, which meant that there was a big gap between the front line and the backline, but they only had two people in the middle of the midfield, Gago and Las Diarra.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu walked to the sidelines, waved his hand at Messi and Gareth Bale in front, signaling them to retreat a little, just let Van Persie be at the front, Messi and Gareth Bale both retracted
When Tottenham Hotspur retracted Gareth Bale and Messi, it was a bit like showing weakness, since your attack is so strong, I will retreat to defend you, so when the two players retreat, Real Madrid's full-backs will naturally press up.
If Messi's side is still because of the Argentine's superstar aura, then as soon as Gareth Bale retreated, Real Madrid, who originally hoped to suppress Tottenham Hotspur with a right attack, immediately pushed his right side up and used Ramos to support Robben in front.
Yaya Toure fell on the edge of the penalty area, the Ivorian physical confrontation, active running coverage, and his ability to tackle the ball is still excellent, after his combing and interception, Real Madrid have few chances to threaten the goal, even if there are some fish that slip through the net, Thiago Silva and Ziglinski can handle it well.
But Real Madrid's offensive is still very fierce, and there is a lot of idea and intention to swallow Tottenham Hotspur directly.
This puts a heavy burden on Yaya Toure and the backline.
From the perspective of the situation, Tottenham Hotspur seems to be in jeopardy.
In one of the P boxes at the Bernabeu, Florentino, Zinedine Zidane, Baldano and Redondo were all watching the game nervously, clearly preoccupied by a match that went straight to the climax from the start.
The Redondo sitting next to Florentino is not the Argentine superstar Redondo, but Florentino's cronies and chief assistant in the AP Group, almost Florentino's spokesperson, and Zidane and Baldano are Real Madrid's former celebrities, and they have met more than once at the Bernabeu Stadium to watch Real Madrid's games together.
"Juander Ramos was fooled" Baldano was the most tactical person in the group, and he quickly realized the problem, and their VIp box was condescending, so compared to everything that happened on the field, they obviously saw it more clearly, "He was too anxious and was used by Ye Qiu"
"Oh?" Florentino tilted his head, a little puzzled, "What do you say?" ”
"The forward line and the back line are too long, and Ramos is pressed too high, after Yaya Toure is at the front of the big penalty area, Real Madrid's attack looks ferocious, but in fact there are very few opportunities to create a threat in the box, let alone a good chance to score, but after Ramos presses up, the whole right side is exposed."
Zidane, who was on the sidelines, liked to watch the game and Tottenham Hotspur the game, and immediately continued: "Gareth Bale is very fast, he may have to fight back"
Before Zidane's words completely fell, he saw Higuain pull to the right side of the front of the penalty area once, and after receiving Robben's pass, he wanted to step into the big penalty area and pass Ziglinsky, but the Ukrainian carried Higuain with his body on the one hand, and at the same time broke the ball with his feet.
After Ziglinski broke the ball, he did not pass the ball directly out of the ball, but took the ball forward, Robben rushed over for the first time to counter-rob, and Ramos reacted as soon as possible, quickly ran back, and got close to Gareth Bale on the right as fast as possible to prevent Tottenham Hotspur's counterattack.
Ziglinski grabbed ahead of Robben, directly stuffed the ball, and passed the ball to the feet of David Silva in the 30-meter line of his side, who retreated to take the ball with his back to Real Madrid in the half, blocked Gago with his body, stopped the ball and turned in one go, calmly left Gago behind him, and then passed the ball directly to the left with his left foot.
Gareth Bale was close to the left touchline, his position was in the middle line, but when he saw David Silva get rid of Gago, he rushed forward quickly as soon as possible, and he didn't turn, anyway, he just stuck to this left sideline, and sprinted forward with all his strength.
Ramos chased desperately, although Gareth Bale received the ball, but when Gareth Bale received the ball, he took the lead, but just when he wanted to entangle Gareth Bale at close range, he saw the Welshman suddenly kick the ball forward, and then quickly bypassed Ramos, and sprinted forward like a gust of wind, forced the ball to pass, and forced Ramos to overtake him with speed.
Everyone in the entire Bernabeu stadium let out a burst of exclamation, no one expected that Tottenham Hotspur's counter-attack would be so fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it was past half and in front of its own goal
Gareth Bale forced an overtake on the left, and this passing was full of power, a sense of conquest, and a shock, almost single-handedly pressing down the entire right side of Real Madrid, and then in the penalty area, when he saw Pepe rushing over, he accelerated after a simple but very practical emergency stop, passed Pepe, and crossed the bottom.
Moniz and Mulenstine, two technical experts, have made the most important contribution to Tottenham Hotspur in that they are very good at developing simple but very practical techniques for players to play on the pitch that match their technical characteristics.
For example, David Silva just retreated to get the ball and then stopped the ball to get rid of Gago, for example, Gareth Bale passed Ramos on the left side, and it seems that this time the emergency stop and speed change broke through Pepe, with the speed at which Gareth Bale rushed up, this very simple technical action can be done by almost any player, but the lethality is very deadly.
Gareth Bale rushed into the box after passing Pepe on the left side of the box, and at this time Cannavaro and Heinze were both attracted to Van Persie, Gareth Bale did not choose to pass the ball to Van Persie in the small penalty area, but passed diagonally to Messi near the penalty spot.
The pass was fast and powerful, but Messi's stop allowed the ball to stop on his left side very well, and then caught up with a step, and hit a light shot with his left foot against the ball, which hung straight into the top left corner of the goal
Yu is clean and neat, without the slightest drag of mud and water
All the Bernabeu fans in the stadium were stunned, and in less than a few seconds, Tottenham Hotspur surprised and panicked when they tore through their defence with a quick counter-attack down the left and also scored a goal.
Over the past so many years, Real Madrid's defense and games have always made people feel worried, always uneasy, and finally the arrival of Juan de Ramos has brought Real Madrid nine consecutive wins, brought stability, and made them feel as if that kind of anxiety is about to pass, but now, Tottenham Hotspur's counterattack has once again uncovered their scars.
Expose this bloody wound and remind them that you are still the same as before
