Real Madrid ended the first half of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final match between the Bernabeu and Liverpool.

The score was 1:1.

Liverpool scored away and Real Madrid were temporarily behind.

Back in the dressing room, Bosque faced a helpless situation that even top managers would not be able to reverse: it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

The imbalance in the structure of Real Madrid's midfield, the hidden dangers of the backline, which should have been solved by the introduction of reinforcements last summer, but it has continued to this day, it cannot be said that the overall strength of Real Madrid has plummeted, but when it is necessary to weaken the forward line to strengthen the midfield, this chain reaction makes the manager quite helpless.

Qin Xiong's adjustment is still correct, but this can only be said to make Real Madrid change from an extremely passive situation to half a pound and two with Liverpool.

The most frustrating thing for Bosque is that Real Madrid was robbed of the top spot by Juventus in the group stage, and the result became that Real Madrid faced the opponent at home first in the first leg of the 1/8 finals, and Liverpool had the convenience of first away and then home.

Judging from the statistics of historical records, the advantage of the latter is not particularly obvious, especially considering that the data is only dead, and it cannot give a balance of strength, which is more advantageous between the two teams in the case of balance of strength.

But on Real Madrid, the disadvantage of playing home first is extremely prominent.

The Bernabeu is Madrid's temple of football, and in this world-class stadium, Real Madrid must not be conservative!

At home, Real Madrid don't just want to win, they have to win beautifully.

Otherwise, Capello 12 years ago would not have left in charge, and Capello, who entered the palace for the second time two years ago, would not still be under huge pressure from public opinion when his results were red.

Bosque could put Real Madrid at the Camp Nou with tactics to compensate for the imbalance in the formation and he was able to withstand the pressure.

But if you do it at home. Then this is tantamount to digging one's own grave.

Even if it is the best for Real Madrid, as a true Real Madrid, Bosque also knows that the real bottom line of this great club is that it cannot abandon traditional style and green pursuit!

The record is very important, and the temperament and style of the white army are even more important!

That's why home to Liverpool. Real Madrid can't play defense, and now the score is 1:1, and it's impossible to play defense.

If they had played away first, perhaps Real Madrid's problems would not have been so obvious, and if they returned to home on the premise of assuming that they could get the desired result, Real Madrid would have more strategies to deal with the game, and would never have fallen into the embarrassing situation of being caught by Liverpool and beaten to death.

The boss thought a lot and finally ordered the players to be more aggressive in defence.

Only in this way can Liverpool's onslaught of fast attack after fast attack.

Back on the pitch in the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Real Madrid kicked off and immediately went on the offensive. Qin Xiong frequently plays the ball to the wings in the middle, and when the midfield is not enough to calm the field, Qin Xiong does not dare to switch positions with Sneijder frequently to play on the wing, he can play offensive depth like Robben on the wing, which Sneijder does not have.

It can be said that after Real Madrid adjusted to the 4231 formation, the offensive strategy has become a unilateral flying wing attacking tactic.

The only one who can really threaten on the flanks is Robben.

In the 48th minute of the game, Robben played the ball back in the face of Aurelio's defense after going down the wing, dodging Aurelio's pressing and then a diagonal pass. Qin Xiong took a quick kick between Liela and Gerrard, and he passed the ball straight ahead. Sneijder, who cut inside in the middle, also played the ball between Mascherano and Alonso, and he gently crossed the ball.

Guti, who rushed up with a meteor in stride, met the ball and shot angrily!

The ball bounced off Agger's body, and it was difficult for Real Madrid to really push the attack into the dangerous area of the Liverpool penalty area, and if it was just a low cross, there were very few such attacking threats.

Liverpool, on the other hand, frequently used fast breaks to play beautiful attacks on the counter-attack.

It has to be said that the advantage in physical confrontation ability gives Liverpool the upper hand in the midfield when every inch of land is in contention.

Gerald had the upper hand in a physical confrontation with Guti. After he controlled the ball, he suddenly pulled the ball back, and this rhythm change made Qin Xiong, who was returning to defense, also shake over.

Gerrard then crossed diagonally to the left front, and the in-cut Liela stopped the ball and watched the situation up front before delivering a cross.

Torres slicing in diagonally past Pepe drew the attention of Real Madrid's backline, which provided an opportunity for Kuyt to cut through the ribs.

Marcelo simply couldn't stop Kuyt's header from the right side of the box.

Fortunately, Casillas played steadily and knocked the ball out of the box.

Diarra took control of the ball and was intent on allowing Real Madrid to launch a quick attack.

But the quality of his passing is not flattering.

It was originally a pass for Sneijder. But it became a knife hill goal, and after Sneijder and Arbeloa competed, Sneijder was defeated.

Liverpool continued to attack, with Arbeloa pushing the ball along the flank for thirty yards before suddenly slashing the ball diagonally into the box.

In the middle of the penalty area, Torres turned his back to Cannavaro, and after the football rolled over, he knocked the ball behind him with his right foot, and then turned around the left side of his body, Cannavaro made a big ugly appearance, and his small goal was crossed by Torres' back!

Amazing!

The Holy Child Torres completed the volley in one go!

Casillas once again made a world-class save to keep the crumbling goal from being penetrated by Liverpool twice!

"Torres had a brilliant back-to-back knock, he was so good that the Real Madrid defenders couldn't stop him! Cannavaro must admit that he is old! Torres, who is like a tiger, has flaunted his might in front of him three or four times, and he can only be embarrassed to become the background, either he can only look at Torres's back helplessly, or he can only be played by Torres and fall to the ground to look up at his heroic posture! ”

Isn't Cannavaro, who will be 35 years old in half a year?

Of course he's old!

In the duel with Torres, who has an explosive power that starts in an instant, it is strange that he does not fall behind.

Not all top defenders are able to write the legend of old age.

Cannavaro knows he can't stop Torres, but he also has his own reasons, such as the fact that he's complaining to Las Diarra and Guti right now, telling them to pay attention to blocking the opponent's passing lanes, holding key positions, or simply fouls! Foul!

Do you have to wait for the centre-back to foul in the danger zone?

That's suicide! (To be continued.) )
