[Football] I'm just a defender

Chapter 137 hapter 137

In the eighth round of La Liga No.1011 in the 30 season, Real Madrid beat Almeria 5-0 at home at the Bernabeu. However, when Barcelona also won the league in the same period as the first game of the last round of the league, everyone knows that the La Liga champion spends who falls.

In the end, Real Madrid was only forced to lose the league title because of a goal difference of 4 behind.

It would be a lie to say that there was no disappointment, but it was precisely because of the loss of the league title that everyone pinned their hopes on the Champions League final against Manchester United in a few days.

Last season's UEFA Champions League showed an astonishing balance of power. The top eight came from six different leagues. People could not help but exclaim: the Premier League, which survived on the gold dollar, has declined under the impact of the global financial crisis. The UEFA Champions League will return to the era of all heroes.However, in just one season, the Premier League powerhouses have responded with excellent performances. Although Liverpool in the traditional semi-finals was replaced by Tottenham Hotspur, who is almost a pure newcomer, the four major Premier League teams advanced to the rematch at the same time. And except for Arsenal's unexpected collapse, they all won the first place in the group.

Although there are still deficiencies compared with the tendency to form an encirclement in the semi-finals in the past, the Premier League, which occupies three places in the quarter-finals and gets a ticket to the final, is still the biggest force in the Champions League. A total of 18.357 European War points in the season are still the highest in the five major leagues, and the European First League is well-deserved.

La Liga is also still strong, although Valencia and Sevilla are not strong enough, but with the two giants of Real Madrid and Barcelona standing out from the crowd in Europe, La Liga is enough to compete with the Premier League.

Regrettably, it seems that Inter Milan's performance in winning the championship last season is just a flashback, and the once mighty little World Cup can only continue to sink.

欧冠四强除了曼联、皇马、巴萨之外，另外一支球队也与皇马有着些许联系。本赛季创造俱乐部历史一般闯入欧冠四强的沙尔克04正是劳尔目前效力的俱乐部,而劳尔再次以‘142场欧冠正赛和46次欧冠淘汰赛出场，欧冠第71粒进球和欧战第72球’的个人记录傲视群雄。

Regarding the status quo of the old captain, everyone in Real Madrid can only choose to bless them. They can only desperately keep the Champions League title after losing the league title.Mourinho is quite familiar with Manchester United under Ferguson, but who can say that Ferguson is not familiar with Mourinho's routine?

Both have been opponents for many years, whether it is Mourinho or Ferguson, they can't help but sigh.

But when the outside world talks about it, what has to be compared is the defense of the two.

Contrary to the impression given by Manchester United, no matter who mentions Real Madrid's forward line, they will give a thumbs up, but the defense line is unclear.Of course it's not bad, after all, it's also the top defense line in Europe, but if you say it's one of the best, seriously, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Fran, Ramos, Marcelo, Carvalho, Pepe, Arbeloa, etc. are actually leaders in their respective positions, but it seems that the name of "Real Madrid" is behind. The line of defense should not be so solid.

However, despite this, Real Madrid's data of not conceding a goal in the Champions League group stage and only conceding one away goal in the Champions League knockout round makes everyone who pays attention to this Champions League final can't help but take a breath.Manchester United's record of not conceding a goal in all 6 away games in the Champions League this season is indeed unique, but isn't Real Madrid's data equally exaggerated.

What's more, people also understand that when Lyon scored a goal in the away game, Real Madrid's defensive gatekeeper still obediently recuperated and did not play.After all, looking at Forlan's state of getting better and better after recovering from his injury, he always feels that the Champions League final is a game where people will never lose as long as they don't want to win.

And if the regular game is defense against defense, who can tell if Van der Sar and Casillas' penalty kicks?

Before the game, the Premier League media has been hyping the issue between Ferguson and Giggs. Even Real Madrid will speculate whether Ferguson will choose to let the Red Devils veteran start after the training.When the legend has become the center of attention of the media and fans, if he is allowed to play at this time, Giggs himself will definitely be distracted, but it can show Ferguson's unsuspecting character and support for Giggs; He starts the game, even if it is really a tactical need, he will give the media who "fear the world will not be chaotic" an excuse to speculate on the tense atmosphere in the Manchester United team and hit Giggs' unwillingness to grow old at that moment.

Fran didn't participate in these chats, he was just excited when he thought of the tenth crown that should have come a long time ago, and he could only restrain himself desperately.As for whether Giggs will play, to be honest, he doesn't think this is the most important issue for Manchester United.Ronaldo beside him is in a complicated mood. Ferguson is truly like a teacher and father to him. Most of the Portuguese's achievements today are due to the old Scottish man.

And this Champions League final was launched at Wembley Stadium under such circumstances.

In terms of Real Madrid, Mourinho's choice is not unexpected. The 442 formation is his recent preference. Ramos, Forlan, Carvalho and Marcelo are lined up. Midfielder Kaka Ozil At the same time, Alonso and Diarra are supported by double midfielders, Ronaldo and Higuain are on the front line, and Benzema is placed on the bench. Once he starts to warm up, it is a sign of Real Madrid's strengthening attack.

For Manchester United, Ferguson also moved out of the 442 lineup. The main goalkeeper is undoubtedly Edwin van der Sar. The appearance of Ferdinand, Evra and Vidic in the defense is expected, and at the same time, it gave Korean Park Ji-sung a chance to start.This Asian is a well-known physical madman, so people have to think deeply whether Ferguson really wants to compete in physical strength with the vice-captain of Real Madrid.

While Valencia and Fletcher were selected in the midfield, Ferguson had no choice but to let Giggs start this important game, and at the same time let his old teammate Scholes also enter the starting list middle.Rooney and Berbatov up front.

Seeing that Manchester United's two midfielders are at the end of their careers, without any special gestures from Mourinho, everyone in Real Madrid understands that they must speed up the progress of attack and defense, and then aim at the right time to counterattack according to the coach's favorite defense.After all, Real Madrid's starting lineup is too young.

The commentators also noticed this point, "Real Madrid's lineup, apart from Carvalho, is actually Forlan the oldest." After saying this, they couldn't help but be amazed.

Perhaps because of Forlan's personality, people always ignore the fact that the vice-captain of Real Madrid, who is a few months older than Casillas, is 30 years old. The whole Real Madrid team is full of youthful atmosphere.And what kind of game these two teams, which seem to have a huge age gap, will play, people have somewhat guessed.

Which team on the court wants to win more?Which player on the court wants to win more?Such a question has no technical content, so that the commentator held back for a long time and said, "Which player on the court do you think the fans want to win the championship?"

Everyone has their own answer, but the special guest who was asked face to face as a Real Madrid fan paused for a few seconds and showed a helpless smile, "The captain won the Champions League at the age of 19, and Fran didn't even touch it until he was 30." When it comes to the Champions League trophy, no matter what, I still hope that he can win this significant ten championships, so it is not a waste of eight years."

That's partly why Casillas sometimes feels fans prefer Forlan.Meilingers of some age always remember that Iker Casillas, who made his debut during the glorious period of the five-year triple crown, embraced all the honors in Real Madrid, but they also regret that Franca came to Real Madrid in the darkest period. here.

More or less melancholy is still on his body.

Just changing the subject like this, the field has already started.Ferguson will not choose a conservative start in the Champions League final. He will open and close as soon as he comes up, controlling the timing of the midfielder's possession of the ball and trying to create more shooting opportunities.But of course Real Madrid is not just passively beaten. This team is better at attacking. Once they seize the opportunity to counterattack, they will carry out Mourinho's advice-quick!

The full-backs went straight down, the midfielder advanced quickly, and the frontcourt attacked quickly. Such counterattacks appeared several times. No matter how high the morale was, Manchester United had to make some retreats.

All they need now is an opportunity.Be patient and stay patient even when you are under siege.St. Cassie + iron guard Fran, this configuration is not so easy to break through, not only because of the top skills of the two of them in their respective positions, but also after so many years of cooperation, they have formed an unspeakable tacit understanding in defense.

While defending, Fran observed Scholes and Ryan Giggs who were going forward. The 36-year-old Scholes and the 37-year-old Ryan Giggs, no one can say that they still maintain the scenery of a few years ago .With the increase of age, no matter how much Ferguson trusts the 'kids' of class 92, he has to admit that their state is declining, from running to assisting, they are not as sharp as before.But at the same time, since this season, it has been rare to see these two start with such a violent offensive rhythm.

Manchester United pressed so hard, obviously Ferguson asked for the opening goal, and this is also Real Madrid's opportunity.Of course, you can't wait for the opponent to complete an attack before counterattacking. The experienced Manchester United also understands this truth. After completing the attack, they quickly returned to their second half to arrange defense. They know that their average age is older than Real Madrid, and the players are more physically fit. It is not dominant, so they did not adopt the exhausting full-court pressing tactics that Real Madrid's defense chose.

To hit their quick counterattack, the only way is to intercept their ball in advance, and before they can quickly switch from offense to defense, use Real Madrid's overall speed to execute a lightning strike, that is, 'fast'.It is not a good choice to grab the ball close to the body at this time. After all, it will open up your own defense. Therefore, Fran chose a conservative but 'reckless' method, anticipating the pass and then blocking the route, that is, intercepting.

An interception is not the same as a tackle.Stealing is a close press, but as more and more teams gradually move their offensive cores back, the risk of choosing a stealing defensive method is gradually increasing.Carrying out steals close to the body may not run to the opponent, and the gap left behind will be used by the opponent to tear out a series of loopholes and gaps through the pass.As for the other, Manchester United may want to test how Real Madrid, the so-called defensive general who dances on the foul line, will be punished by the referee once he makes a fierce steal.

After all, as the rules restrict more and more physical contact, in occasions like the Champions League final, I am afraid that the referee's judgment will be relatively conservative, instead of letting you Francisco Alvarez do whatever he wants like in La Liga.What's more, who knows if this guy will leave some psychological shadow when he almost broke his leg.

The reliance on fast short passes in front of the goal is beyond any period. Most of the time, the pass that organizes the offensive solution must be completed in front of the goal. This is also the aspect that Ozil can win Mourinho's favor Reason, excellent final pass.The two sides have piled up a large number of troops here, so it is natural to need a quick short-pass penetration to open up the situation.But because of this, the number of passes increases, and at the same time increases the chances of intercepting passes and increases the chances of the other party missing a pass.

Manchester United's average number of successful tackles per game has been declining, not because the turnover rate has increased, but because the Premier League is extremely obvious, and it pays more attention to interceptions than "steals" that will cause fans to cheer.Compared with the technique of stealing, interception pays more attention to the sense of position when predicting, that is, the golf quotient.And when Mourinho informed Forlan of the task, seeing his calm appearance, Mourinho asked a lot, "You're okay, right?"

Only then did I realize that Mourinho was really puzzled. Fran tilted his head and looked at his head coach, "Of course, I was originally regarded as Makelele's successor and became a regular." And Makelele is the famous interceptor , he never rushes forward, and is always ready to end the opponent's attack in the middle.

What's more, Fran doesn't believe that Manchester United's players will only pass the ball behind. If they want to break Real Madrid's goal, they always need to pass the ball in the restricted area. Will not be much?

The game went on for more than ten minutes. According to the statistics so far, Manchester United has the upper hand with seven shots, although only one of them is within the range of the goal frame. Apart from Alonso's threatening long-range shot at the beginning of the game, Real Madrid has no chance for the time being. There are no achievements.Manchester United's aggressiveness and suppression on the scene are somewhat beyond people's surprises, but looking at Mourinho with a calm expression on the sidelines, it seems that nothing poses too much threat to Real Madrid.

Of course, everyone in Real Madrid is not in a hurry with such a 0:0 score, because the choice made by Ferguson could not last too long in a war of attrition.Scholes is well aware of this, and he has to treat it with caution. Although long passes are accurate, short passes are safer.

Alonso noticed that when Manchester United attacked, Scholes did not retreat after passing the ball but ran to respond. This is a signal that he wants to further participate in the offensive organization.The midfield position is relatively good at intercepting, and the guard position is relatively good at stealing, but at this moment, although the off-court temperament is elegant, but on the court, the 'midfielder' Alonso who is good at stealing and the interception skills are 'remarkable' 'Defender' Fran looked at each other and said nothing, and there was no need to say anything.

Manchester United and Ferguson want to create a threat, but Forlan also wants to let them know that Real Madrid is definitely not at the mercy of Manchester United.

After receiving the pass, Rooney tried to use his own technical breakthrough again, but under the tight defense, his footwork didn't work, so he had to pass back to Fletcher for him to reschedule.After receiving the ball, Fletcher decided to make a diagonal pass to the front of the penalty area, and Berbatov was almost in position.

However, this intention of passing the ball was too obvious in Fran's eyes. When Alonso made a close-fitting press to make Fletcher pass the football, he shot out with one foot and intercepted the football.

There were two completely different cheers and sighs at Wembley Stadium in an instant. It seemed that Fletcher's pass was really a mistake because of his obvious attitude.But this is the difference between interception and tackling. The wonderful interception seems to be caused by the mistakes of the passing players, and few of the interceptors are credited. It seems that choosing the right position is luck, not ability.

But as long as the bystanders are allowed to acquiesce that Fran is lucky today, Fran will be happy to admit it.

Manchester United's continuous siege has compressed several of their lines very tightly. After receiving the ball, Forland immediately intends to pass it to Ramos on the wing. Behind him is not just a large block of space.

Isn't this an opportunity?

Giggs on the side saw the football run to Fran's feet, and immediately knew that the situation was serious.Instead of returning to defense, he immediately stepped forward to block, hoping that even if he interfered with Fran's offensive advance, he would buy time for his teammates to defend.But Giggs was still a bit slow when he rushed forward. After stealing the ball, Fran directly passed the football diagonally to the side of Ramos who was already running. Ramos immediately went straight down the side without hesitation.

"Real Madrid's fast attack! This is Real Madrid's chance!"
