[Chelsea attack!] 】

[Hazard takes the ball!] 】

[Hazard has passed one! 】

[Another deduction has been made!] 】

【Opportunity!】 】

【Shot!!!! 】

A huge exclamation at the Santiago Bernabeu was followed by bursts of applause.

[Hazard is in very good form, this is the third time he has threatened the Real Madrid goal in this game!] 】

[And they all hit the goal!] 】

[Courtois must have been frightened at this time and shouted at his teammates! ] 】

[Varane was a little inattentive and not decisive enough in this defense! 】

[The camera at the scene was also aimed at Ramos in the stands for the first time! ] 】

[The captain of Real Madrid was unable to participate in the battle due to injury, which did have a certain impact on Real Madrid's defensive line! ] 】

[There is also the three-center-back system arranged by Zidane, at present, it has not been able to resist Chelsea's attack! ] 】

Real Madrid wanted to replicate the tactics of the national derby, switching freely between three centre-backs and five at the back to balance attack and defence.

But after the start of the game, Real Madrid did not be able to occupy the initiative of the game as expected.

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante, who was everywhere, made precise judgments and decisive tackles, interrupted Real Madrid's passing rhythm.

You can run, Kante can run better than everybody.

When Real Madrid switched from defending to attacking, Kante was very effective in pressing Kroos, making Real Madrid unable to play the speed of counter-attacking.

Because Modric played as a full-back when switching from defense to attack, he was unable to get in touch with Kroos at the first time, which led to a disconnect in Real Madrid's counterattack.

When the counterattack could not be played, the pressure at the back increased suddenly, and the two sides where Militão and Nacho were located were constantly suppressed by the opponent.

And Varane in the middle has to take care of the overall situation, not only to deal with the impact of the middle, but also to make up for the two sides in time, and the pressure on his body can be imagined.

And that's not all.

Due to Edouard Mendy's injury, Zinedine Zidane made up Marcelo to start at left wing-back.

If Real Madrid dominate the pace of the game, Marcelo will be able to play to his attacking strengths, suppress the opponent, and replace the defense with attack.

But now Real Madrid has become the oppressed side, which completely exposes Marcelo's defensive shortcomings.

After a poor attack on the left, Chelsea naturally focused on the left flank, defended by Kroos, Marcelo and Nacho.

Once Kroos' top grab was empty, the adducted Marcelo was completely exposed to Chelsea.

In the 15th minute, N'Golo Kante pushed past Kroos and forced his way through the left side of Real Madrid.

Casemiro rushed to make up for the defence, causing Real Madrid's formation to tilt to the left.

N'Golo Kante then played the ball to Chilwell on the other flank.

Running widely, passing the ball calmly, that's what Kante is capable of.

However, Chilwell was a little too big and wanted to use his speed to eat Modric raw, but the latter got stuck in place in advance and successfully cut off the ball.

Real Madrid counter-attacked, Modric broke the ball and turned to observe, but was interfered with by Chilwell's top scramble.

The pair twrangled down the flank, with the skilled Modric pulling the ball away from the defence with a twist and successfully passing the ball forward.

Rossi took a back-to-back lead up front and immediately charged towards the Chelsea defence.

Chelsea's three centre-backs retreated in an orderly manner with the aim of slowing down Rossi's advance.

Just then, N'Golo Kante returned.

He made a sliding tackle directly from behind and brought down Rossi with the ball.

There was no foul, just a throw-in in front, and the Bernabeu fans were unhappy with the decision.

Rosie, who was lying on the turf, suddenly saw a pair of hands reaching out to him, and when he looked up, it was Kanter's honest smile.

The two have played side by side at Leicester City and won the Premier League title, so they know each other well.

N'Golo Kante clung to Rossi at the start, but he didn't get up right away.

Because Rossi's short-distance acceleration and change of direction are amazing, he has amazing explosiveness and coordination.

At the beginning, there were only two of them, and they were passed or eaten.

N'Golo Kante was clever enough to use the distance to wear down Rossi first, and then get his feet right.

"It's okay!"

"It's really hard to be an opponent with you."

After a brief exchange, the two returned to their respective positions.

The twenty-minute game surprised Zidane.

The balance he wanted between attack and defence was not achieved, and the left side was instead constrained by Chelsea's pressure and unable to play counter-attacks.

He then tried to get Benzema to pull back and connect the team's counter-attacking contacts, but it didn't work well.

The reason for this was that Tuchel tilted his formation to attack Real Madrid's left flank.

Once possession was converted, Chelsea did not retreat and went back to disrupt Real Madrid's ball with aggressive scrambling.

Successive high-intensity pressure allowed Chelsea to dominate the game and score in the 30th minute.

It was originally Real Madrid's successful tackle on the left and Kroos launching a counter-attack.

But N'Golo Kante was there to interfere with Kroos' passing.

The pass was too high, giving the Chelsea defence time to react, and Rudiger used his strong physicality to head the ball over Rossi's head.

After Chilwell received the ball, he saw that Real Madrid's defense was in the front, and did not hesitate to pass the ball behind the defense.

Hazard, who was in ambush, rushed forward and successfully unloaded the ball.

Zinedine Zidane was unhappy that Hazard was not a striker who tore through the defence with his movements.

But judging from the defense just now, Varane was seriously delayed, causing Hazard to easily take the ball down in the counterattack.

And his next command of the defense is full of loopholes.

First of all, although Hazard got the ball, he was not in a good position, near the left edge of the penalty area, and there was little threat to the goal.

Chelsea's real threat is Christian Pulisic in the middle.

On Real Madrid's side, Varane returned to the middle of the defense, and Nacho also recovered protection from the other side, counting the goalkeepers, Real Madrid at this time had three defenders.

As a lagging centre-back, Zidane has given fellow countryman Raphael Varane the right to command the defence, hoping that he can be the heart of the team's defence in Ramos' absence.

But in this defense, he was exposed to a side that he was not as good as Ramos.

In the face of Chelsea's attack, Varane's first thought was to defend the opposition's passes.

He then took up the middle of the pass and let goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois come in to block Hazard's angle.

As for Nacho, who retreated, he was close to the goal line and cooperated with the goalkeeper to protect the goal.

With this arrangement, even Ramos in the stands was forced to jump.

Letting the goalkeeper defend a striker who is good at dribbling is a clear fatal mistake.

Hazard pulled sideways in succession, shook off Courtois who fell to the ground, and shot straight at goal.

Raphael Varane made his second mistake by stepping back from the goal line and getting in front of goal with Nacho.

Just imagine, how can the bodies of two people block a goal that is 7.32 meters long and 2.44 meters high.

Hazard's shot was powerful and tricky, and with such a close distance, how did Raphael Varane and Nacho react.

【GOALLLLLLLLLL！！ 】

【The ball is in!】 】

[Chelsea score a valuable away goal!] 】

[Eden Hazard who scored for them!] 】

[Real Madrid's form is a bit sluggish, and the tactical arrangements are also up for debate! ] 】

[At the same time, the live footage is given to Ramos! ] 】

[Looking at Ramos's expression, it seems to be saying, if it were me, I would grab it on the first hit and not give any chance! ] 】

As Hazard slipped on his knees at the Bernabeu to celebrate, Rossi stepped to the sideline to rehydrate.

"Sir, we have to change to a back four to get back the initiative!"

Rossi took advantage of the water time to express his opinion to Zidane.

Zizou also noticed that the three central defenders system was a little awkward, especially on the left side of Nacho and Marcelo, which was prone to gaps.

If you can't seize the initiative in the game, then the opponent will score goals in the next game.

After some thought, Zidane immediately adjusted, returning Carvajal to right-back, with Nacho at left-back.

As for Marcelo, Zinedine Zidane moved him to midfield, switched to full-back, and changed his formation to 4-4-2.

But after such an adjustment, there are also risks.

Carvajal and Nacho, who have returned from injury, can withstand Chelsea's attack.

It is unknown whether Militão and Raphael Varane, who play as the two central defenders, will be able to play the ball at the back.

But Real Madrid, who are behind the scoreline, must change.
