Section 825 Second round of contests

Chinese In order to cope with the upcoming Champions League match, Real Madrid, like Manchester United, chose to abandon the league and send substitutes to save their strength and go all out to win.

Real Madrid have already won the league ahead of schedule, so it doesn't matter if they lose the rest of their games. Although Manchester United did not win the championship in advance, they were also in their own league and had a big lead in points, so they also rotated the same.

In fact, the most important reason for Manchester United's willingness to rotate is that their title rivals, Chelsea, have also faced extremely stubborn resistance in the Champions League. Lyon, who was originally thought to be a vulnerable opponent in the French Liga, played extremely tenaciously in the game. Jose Mourinho does know Chelsea well, and his pre-match remarks have caused Chelsea's position to be in disarray, losing to Lyon in the away game, which makes them try their best to return to their home stadium and fight for a win, and in the league, it is also a casual situation.

The same is true for Lyon, who have played more ferociously in Ligue 1, winning the title seven rounds early this season, and the rest of the games are just a matter of coping with them. The four teams in the Champions League, at the weekend, uniformly chose to rest the main team.

And in this game, Real Madrid naturally lost - the opponent was Athletic Bilbao, but Real Madrid played a big rotation, where is there a win? United didn't win either, they were also a draw and it was over, and to make matters worse, they didn't just draw but also put players in the game – Ryan Giggs was injured in the game and couldn't play in the Champions League in midweek.

This made Real Madrid fans extremely excited - perhaps, this game, it was much better. And the media is just as excited: Manchester United scored three away goals and returned to Old Trafford, which is already a huge advantage, but now, Scholes is suspended and Ryan Giggs is injured, so that the gap between the two teams has narrowed a lot. Real Madrid may be able to get a win away from home.

Since Ronaldo did it back then, Zhao Yaning should be able to do it this year, right?

In the last game, Real Madrid and Manchester United opened a posture to attack, playing a score of 4-3, which made the media excited for a while.

Of course, another highlight is the duel between Zhao Yaning and Xiao Xiaoluo - although Zhao Yaning has a hat trick of assists, but in the end, he only scored one goal. He and Xiao Xiao Luo only scored one goal, which naturally made people wonder if Xiao Xiao Luo could play better at Old Trafford. After all, since 04, Zhao Yaning has always been in the top position, and this long-term excellent performance has made many people feel that he has to be challenged.

In the attention of the media, this game has officially kicked off.

Manchester United's lineup is still very luxurious - the front court is still Xiao Xiaoluo, Tevez, Rooney three people as starters, and the midfield and back are not much different from the last game, the only change is that after Scholes was suspended, Manchester United sent Park Ji-sung, and after Giggs was injured, he sat on the bench, and it was Manchester United's Fletcher who replaced him.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, has the same lineup as the last game, with no changes at all - the best lineup that was finally obtained, and Schuster did not dare to change it easily.

And as soon as the whistle blew, United attacked.

"Manchester United's attacks were furious, and it could even be said that their defence was amazing. Real Madrid's attack was temporarily contained, they had little ability to attack, they were completely suppressed at the back, unable to attack. ”

Manchester United's attack, like the previous game, chose to attack immediately after the start of the game. Zhao Yaning was not surprised by this. And their defensive strategy, compared to the last game, has changed a lot. The biggest difference was that their two defenders walked out of the box and started pressing forward.

That's not a good sign. Seeing the position of Lucio and Ferdinand, Zhao Yaning subconsciously raised a sense of vigilance in his heart.

The position of the defender is varied, and the more traditional one is what people call a grab-up and a fill-in style of play. In fact, this style of play is also based on the attack of a tall center forward and a dexterous shadow forward in the 442 formation. The top-up central defender confronts the center, and then the fill-in central defender counters the opponent's flexible shadow striker - this style of play has a clear division of labor. In the era of 442, a push-up defender and a fill-up defender were the most standard backline configuration.

However, that is already a somewhat backward football concept. After all, football nowadays uses more single strikers, and at the same time, the two wings are frantically cutting inside, and the movement is more flexible, and when playing, it is more difficult to deal with. This is also the reason why there are fewer and fewer complementary central defenders in modern football, and more and more upward central defenders: the complementary defenders who play with consciousness are too demanding under the increasingly flexible forward running requirements, and most people cannot reach them. However, because the stand-up center has gradually faded out of football, the physical strength is slightly weaker, but it is more flexible, faster, can block the line, and can also chase back and rebound The players with high comprehensive quality have become the mainstream, and there is no need for that kind of abnormally strong to exist.

It's hard to have someone like Nesta in the back line now, because it's not up to the mark. It's also hard to have someone like Stamm, because it's not necessary.

In addition, the requirements of modern football for central defenders, in addition to technical and physical ability, the most important one is to have excellent activity ability, be able to defend and go outside the penalty area to block the opponent. And how specific is it to be qualified? Only those who can defend twice the distance outside the penalty area, that is, about 30 meters, can be regarded as a qualified modern player.

In modern football, the old-fashioned central defender who can only guard the range in the penalty area, no matter how strong his ability is, it is difficult to get room to play. In the face of the flexible running position of a group of small agile players, a player with a small range of movement, daring to go up is equivalent to waiting to be beaten behind, and if he does not go up, it is a complete shrinkage and being beaten by others. Among the old-fashioned centre-backs, the best player is Chelsea's John Terry, but when it comes to playing against strong teams, Chelsea's only way to win is to defend to the death. And Manchester United's Kompany is the same problem, although he has an extremely strong body, the one-on-one success rate in the penalty area is terrible, and he looks like a super-first-class defender, but the problem of the small range of activity is his hard injury, and he is not a new type of central defender.

Ferguson was well aware of this, so he didn't let him play.

And Lucio and Ferdinand are fast and physical enough, they can press outside the box to complete the task of marking, which is enough to give Zhao Yaning a headache.

The most important thing for a defender is to be physically fit enough. Lucio looks like a big guy, his mind wanders from time to time, and his skills are not top-notch, but his physical fitness is indeed extremely good. Although football can rely on receiving and attacking, but in many cases, it is indispensable to attack and defend one-on-one, and the strength of the body ensures that Lucio will not have any problems in one-on-one attack and defense.

Now that he's 30 meters away, he'll have to drop back to catch the ball. Otherwise, these teammates are afraid that no one will be able to beat Lucio one-on-one. Ribery and Marcelo are not bad at technique, but their height of 170cm is destined to be unable to carry Lucio. However, fortunately, the opponent pressed out, and there may be a chance behind him, and it may be a good idea to pass the ball behind him.

Soon, Zhao Yaning retreated, and seeing his retreat, Ferguson also smiled.

It was exactly what he expected.

And Zhao Yaning immediately found that the opponent's defensive strategy was obviously more than that.

In the middle lane, Park Ji-sung went crazy and entangled Guti, making it impossible for him to go to the side to pick him up. Guti's strength is much better than Park Ji-sung's, but physical strength and running are not his forte, and Park Ji-sung's running at the expense of physical strength basically locks him up. And in the backfield, Rooney also constantly affects Yaya Toure, so that he can't plug in, although he is nominally a striker, but Rooney has no hesitation in withdrawing to the midfield and Yaya Toure to the sub. In this way, there are fewer two contact points in the middle, and Real Madrid's side attack is only left with the cooperation of Zhao Yaning and Marcelo. The connection between the two points is easy to cut off, especially when the opponent's Tevez is running at all costs, Manchester United gradually empties all the contact points around Zhao Yaning, cutting off his contact with his teammates, making Zhao Yaning unable to play and cooperate.

Manchester United obviously has a good strategy against Zhao Yaning, but why, did it come out in this game? Zhao Yaning didn't know, but what he knew was that playing like this would consume a lot of physical energy, and it would be difficult for the opponent to support the whole game.

Manchester United's attack was extremely ferocious, but it did not have an immediate effect. Although Tevez immediately passed a good ball to the feet of Ronaldo Jr. soon after the opening, Ronaldo did not choose to pass the ball to Rooney who had run to the open space immediately when facing Ramos's defense, but had to want to pass Ramos himself.

However, his tricks did not fool Ramos. Xiao Xiao Luo is very arrogant, Ramos is not a soft temper, when he saw Xiao Xiao Luo playing a bicycle for him, Ramos didn't say a word, and kicked it with a tackle.

This made Xiao Xiao Luo quite embarrassed to dodge - this guy's ferocity was even more excessive than he thought. And Ramos, who got the ball, made a long pass directly and gave the ball to Zhao Yaning on the other side.

After Zhao Yaning got the ball, he ran sideways for two steps, then kicked straight behind him and kicked the ball through the gap between Lucio and Brown, and at the same time, Higuain also ran up quickly, he received the ball and walked towards the penalty area!

This caused a lot of exclamation at Old Trafford, and at this time, Van der Sar also saved in goal - the scavenger goalkeeper is considered more suitable for modern football, and this is why, at this time, they can defend and play one-on-one with the opposition in the box!

Higuain hesitated a little at his feet - although he is not without any skills, and it can even be said that his skills are quite good, but at this time, he still has a little stage fright. Instead of opting to shoot straight at goal, he took a step to the side and tried to dodge Van der Sar to hit the empty net.

But apparently Van der Sar had anticipated his thoughts, and he moved to the side, leaning on his own pace, trying to block Higuain.

Of course it was impossible – all he could do was keep Higuain from passing, but he couldn't stop Higuain's angle. Higuain also knew that he had wasted his time, and at this time, he couldn't wait any longer, he had to make a choice.

He kicked the ball out of the way and into the far corner of the goal, Van der Sar scooped up the air and the ball was ready to rush into the goal!

But at this time, Ferdinand, who was back on the defensive, had already been killed. He cleared the ball out of the bottom line with one kick and defused the danger!

"A shot from close range, Higuain didn't grasp it!"

Higuain clutched his head. When he shot just now, if he hadn't been so nervous and had to pass the opponent, the goal would have been scored. However, because of his mistake, the team missed the opportunity to take the lead.

Make it up - Higuain thought to himself. I just don't know, is there such an opportunity?
