Chapter 527 In Real Madrid, there is no shortage of stars
[Real Madrid counterattacked, the ball came to Bale's feet! ] γ
[The start-up speed is fast! γ
[Yu Pa is desperately chasing back! ] γ
[Fell, Bale fell in the penalty area!] γ
It happened in the seventh minute of the game, when Luka Modric picked up the ball at the back and instigated an attack that was handed to Bale up front.
The Welsh star had just taken a few steps before he was knocked to the ground by Yu Pamecano behind him.
There was a loud boo at the Bernabeu.
Huppa was Leipzig's last defender and he slammed into Bale in front of him and deserved an indisputable red card.
But he didn't panic and immediately pointed to the linesman.
The referee, who had already reached the back pocket of his trousers with his right hand, glanced at the linesman and then put the red card back in his pocket and signaled that it was Leipzig's ball at the back.
This can make Real Madrid's David angry.
Even if it is a black whistle, it will not be openly provoked in full view of everyone.
Then the referee made an offside gesture and everyone understood.
Bale was already offside at the moment of receiving the ball, so there was no foul on Yu Pa behind him.
Looking at Yu Pa's appearance of "seeing through it a long time ago", Real Madrid fans were very angry.
Leipzig, with the help of the young centre-back, have repeatedly defused their opponents' attacks.
Neither Benzema, Gareth Bale, Vinicius nor Rodrygo could break through his defence.
And in this game, Yu Pa, who was in hot form, once again became the savior of the team.
Leipzig attack.
In response to Leipzig's attack, Zidane's adjustment was that Ramos dragged the defense back, and the other three defenders were in front of him to form protection.
Let Varane use his height to counter Leipzig's header.
The two full-backs retreated, marking the front of their attacking players.
Real Madrid's defensive strategy largely limits the opponent's counter-attack, but on the contrary, their attack will form a disjoint.
As a result, Zidane made a second move, and Kroos retreated to the midfield position.
In this position, Kroos' task is not to defend, but to play the ball.
His long balls can easily penetrate the two wings of the three-centre-back system.
If Bale hadn't started early, it would have been a great opportunity for Real Madrid to counter-attack.
Real Madrid's adjustments were very quick and Nagelsmann reacted immediately.
Since Real Madrid let Kroos get the ball behind, start with him.
As soon as the ball reached Kroos' feet, the three strikers immediately cut off his pass to the flanks and formed a 'pocket' that converged in the middle.
Kroos is not a player who is good at advancing with the ball and cannot use his skills to get rid of it.
Although this tactic is effective, once the ball carrier is Luka Modric, Leipzig will abandon this tactic to avoid being breached and threatened their own goal.
Frequently encountering fierce defenders, Mr. Tony had no time to take care of the hairstyle, and passed the ball back in embarrassment to make the captain Ramos transition.
As a result, there are many similarities between the scene and the first leg.
Real Madrid dominated a lot of possession but did not pose a real threat to Leipzig's defence.
Leipzig, on the other hand, are still excellent on the counter-attack.
In the 15th minute, Leipzig launched a counter-attack from the back with the help of Parmecano.
Angelio received the ball and pushed it directly to the side, allowing Wijnal to hold the ball and attack the wing.
In the face of Carvajal's defence, Werner suddenly changed direction, using his starting speed to shake off the defence.
Timo Werner, who has been given space to sprint, is a nightmare for all defenders.
Carvajal, who has an experienced defense, stuck the line of Wernerneche and did not allow him to break through easily.
But Wijnal, who had a balanced left and right foot, swept the ball to the goal with his left foot without cutting inside.
Fortunately, the Real Madrid captain stretched out his foot at the critical moment and destroyed the ball out of the bottom line and defused the danger.
Zidane scratched his head in some anger, pointed ahead, and shouted Rodrigo's name.
Looking at the overall situation, the main initiator of Leipzig's attack is central defender Yu Parmecano.
When he gets the ball on the ground, Leipzig undoubtedly have an attacking player in midfield, not only taking away an opposition frontcourt player, but also enriching the passing line.
What's even worse is that the centre-back's small skills are not bad.
Rodrigo's appearance was intended to be limited by his movement and momentum.
But just now, Rodrigo not only did not block the opponent, but he also shook it off and grabbed it and picked the ball.
If you can't limit Yu Pa's ball, Real Madrid's previous defensive deployment will be in vain.
Zidane then immediately began to make adjustments, allowing Benzema and Rodrygo to switch defensive positions.
Although Benzema can be limited to Pa to a certain extent, Leipzig's captain Sabitzer is responsible for the team's ball.
With Timo Werner and Nkunku up front, he rarely stepped forward and instead settled between the midfield and the back to help the team get the ball out.
Which area he is in is Leipzig's main attack.
Zidane will naturally have a way to deal with it, but over-defending can cause the attack to be disjointed, resulting in a much less efficient attack.
If you want to turn the situation around, the key is to press the front line.
After a little thought, Zidane asked Rossi, who was sitting on the bench, to warm up.
Seeing Real Madrid's No. 7 in the warm-up, Nagelsmann was not only slightly stunned.
Rossi certainly won't be on the pitch in the first half unless a player is injured.
That would mean Real Madrid had to start attacking in the second half.
Nagelsmann, who had already picked up the threat signal, began to ponder the tactical plan for the second half.
With a score of 0:0, the two sides went into halftime.
In the Real Madrid dressing room, Zidane did not speak, staring at his watch from time to time with a serious expression.
The player didn't dare to look at him directly, and silently bowed his head to drink water and rest, for fear that if he said one more word, he would touch Zidane's moldy head.
Especially Rodrigo.
His task was to limit Leipzig's ability to play at the back.
But his performance in the first half was unqualified.
The huge pressure made him dare not breathe after returning to the locker room, and he didn't dare to drink a sip of water nervously.
"You've been running for so long, and you're not thirsty?"
Rosie handed over a bottle of water and sat down next to him.
At this time, how much Rodrigo longed in his heart that no one would notice him.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
He took the water tremblingly and swallowed a small gulp.
Ten minutes were up, Zidane leaned his hands behind his back and said: "In the second half, we must strengthen the pressing in the front, it's time for a decisive battle, only by keeping running, can we get a chance." β
"I don't need you to conserve your fitness, I believe our fitness coach will make you run better than your opponents."
"And you have to be ready to be substituted at any time and don't think you're important in the team or irreplaceable."
After Zidane glanced around, he said solemnly: "In Real Madrid, there is no shortage of stars. β
"Everyone, do you understand?"
