"We must not be anxious when playing Tottenham Hotspur. This is their White Hart Lane Stadium. We will definitely launch a large attack after the opening. This has become a landmark start for Tottenham Hotspur. Therefore, after the start, we must attach great importance to the control of the ball. We cannot easily hand the ball to the opponent, but we must patiently control the ball."

“This requires each of us to maintain 100% concentration and calm on the court.”

"I believe that as long as we do this and survive this start, we will basically be half successful."

This is what Pellegrini said to Real Madrid players in the locker room before the start of the game.

At this moment, sitting in the visiting team coach's seat, the Chilean engineer didn't know whether the group of Real Madrid players wearing blue jerseys on the court still remember what he said just now. The only thing he could do was pray and hope they could remember it.

Tottenham Hotspur is a very terrible team. If you can't stay focused and calm, you will die miserably. For Real Madrid, if you can't win possession, you will die miserably, so the start is very important.

"I would like to remind them not to waste the ball easily, to control the ball patiently, and not to eat the opponent in one bite. Also, let Ramos and Pepe concentrate and stay calm," Pellegrini said to his assistant Ruben-Cusilas next to him.

The latter quickly walked to the sidelines and loudly reminded the players on the court.

But soon, the referee blew a whistle and the horse game began. Real Madrid, who was the first to kick off, kicked the ball to Gareth Bale, who knocked back to David Silva, and David Silva passed the ball to Vargas on the left.

Vargas saw Cristiano Ronaldo, who had already pulled to the center line in front, raised his hand to ask for the ball, and immediately pushed the ball to the Portuguese's feet, because Tottenham's Cavani, Messi, Ribery and others had already reached the top.

Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball against the sideline. As soon as he caught it, Vidal stood in front of him immediately.

The Portuguese superstar likes to challenge the strong. He knows very well that Vidal is the fastest-winning midfielder in Europe in the past two seasons. He is known as the most comprehensive midfielder in European football, but at the same time, he has performed the best on both offense and defense.

One-on-one, eating such a star must be very enjoyable

At the moment of receiving the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo had extraordinary confidence in his speed and impact. He immediately dunked the ball with his right foot, turned around and rushed to the bottom line quickly. Vidal also approached Cristiano Ronaldo at the first time, with a clear pulling action on his hand.

This is a small move that all defensive players will do when defending Cristiano Ronaldo, and even others will do. The Portuguese has long been used to it, so he pushed him with his right hand, but accidentally pushed him in the face, but the Chilean midfielder did not fall to the ground because of this.

Just after crossing the center line, Cristiano Ronaldo's speed increased, but at this time Tottenham Hotspur's right-back Kyle Walker in front stood at the position, Vidal next to him was close to him, Cristiano Ronaldo was very calm, observing the distance between himself and Kyle Walker.

At about the same time, he pushed the ball forward to the left side of Kyle O Walker, which was close to the sideline, and wanted to pass the ball by himself, pass Kyle O Walker, and then throw away the vidal who is as clingy as a dog skin plaster.

The idea is a good idea, but the problem is that it was a little skewed when poking the ball. The ball went out of the baseline. Even though Cristiano Ronaldo quickly went out of the sideline and kicked the ball back, it seemed that it was not out of bounds at first glance, but Kyle Walker appealed to the referee immediately, and the lineman also signaled to out of bounds.

Cooperating with Tottenham Hotspur fans in the sidelines, they all made their first uproar since the opening, which was sarcasm and sarcasm to Cristiano Ronaldo, indicating that he had gone out of bounds.

Stop pretending, it will thunder if it is done again

Pellegrini took the initiative to give the ball to his opponent in less than twenty seconds after seeing the opening, which made him rush out of the visiting team coach's seat and stand on the sidelines, looking helpless, because he clearly told them clearly that he should patiently keep possession after the opening. Why is he so anxious to attack?

Can you be anxious to play Tottenham?

Pellegrini was putting his hands on his waist, gasping for breath, obviously suppressing the fire in his heart.

Kyle O Walker kicked off on the sidelines, and his position was just near the home team's coaching seat. Ye Qiu walked out and said, "Put back to the backcourt, don't be too anxious, take your time, we have time."

Kyle Walker glanced at Ye Qiu, threw the ball back to the backcourt and gave Thiago Silva, and ran to the baseline to meet Thiago Silva's knockback, because Higuain was disturbing Tottenham's defense.

After getting the ball again, Kyle Walker was not in a hurry and slowly led the ball forward, because Cristiano Ronaldo was still far away from him and would not press him tightly, so he slowly led him to the area near the center line, and the Portuguese had a symbolic press, but Kyle Walker quickly passed the ball to Thiago Silva.

From right to middle to left, when Marcelo received the ball from sideline, the ball had already passed half.

Tottenham Hotspur is familiar with such a push routine, and Tottenham is also familiar with it.

After the ball passed half, it became much easier. Soon, Tottenham Hotspur got a chance. Marcelo made a straight pass to find Ribery. The latter stopped the ball along the left and turned around and passed by. However, the rhythm was not sure after passing this time. Ribery hurriedly passed the ball in a diagonal pass, which was too hastily handled. The ball was taken by Real Madrid's central defender Pepe.

But Cavani in the frontcourt forced him up as soon as Pepe adjusted, and then passed the ball with a long pass, which moved to the frontcourt to find Higuain. But this time it was Thiago Silva who pushed the ball back to Kompany, and the ball fell to Tottenham Hotspur again.

The attack was a little anxious just now. This time, Tottenham Hotspur did not continue to speed up, but saw Higuain trying to press in the frontcourt, so Pirlo and Vidal both retreated. Several players passed the ball in succession and played with Higuain for a while. The latter ran back and forth with panting and returned to the middle circle.

Front court pressing and oppression rely on team battles, and being alone is equivalent to being caught by the opponent.

With the midfield's retreat, Tottenham began to consciously make a threatening attack. Vidal took the ball from the right and passed it to Messi. The Argentine cut inside and then passed it to Ramsey. The Welsh kept pushing the ball to Ribery in front.

Ribery appeared between Aveloa and Ramos, making a move to drive the ball to break through, but suddenly passed the ball to Marcelo who was inserted into the back. The Brazilian left-back followed and then tied the ball on the left side of the penalty area and passed it to the middle to look for Cavani. But this time Ramos reacted very quickly and cleared the ball in advance.

The ball still landed at Tottenham Hotspur's feet and handed it to Pirlo, reorganized and prepared for the offensive again.

Real Madrid began to consciously strengthen the pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, and the entire defense line also began to push up. Both sides attached great importance to the pressing and oppression in the midfield area.

At this time, the live camera captured the two head coaches on the sidelines commanding the team. Ye Qiu made a clamping action with both hands, and Pellegrini obviously wanted the players to slow down and handle the ball so quickly, and keep calm.

But how could Real Madrid players slow down? Once the ball reaches the midfield, David Silva, Xavi Helongso and Khdira are immediately pressed by Tottenham Hotspur at the same time, which makes their midfielders always have to quickly handle the ball, or send some unsure passes forward, or pass the ball behind them.

Cavani pressed against Real Madrid's defense line very strongly, especially after the opening, so once the ball fell to Pepe and Ramos, they could only launch a long pass as soon as possible, but the success rate of such passes was almost zero.

Gradually, Tottenham Hotspur pushed the defense line across the center line, launched another threatening offensive, and rushed into the half of Real Madrid. However, this time Messi's shot was saved by Casillas, and then Pepe chased after him and cleared the ball with a big foot.

The continuous attacks put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid. Although the game has just passed three minutes, the situation clearly shows that Tottenham Hotspur almost had an overwhelming advantage on the field. Real Madrid handled the ball, making it difficult for them to grasp the ball and organize a threatening offensive.

After finally having a counterattack, Gareth Bale rushed forward at high speed, after fighting for the ball, he turned around and led the way to the middle, hoping to pass it to David Silva who was inserted, and then Espanyol made a pass and pass directly. However, Ramsey, who was in defense, made a shovel and shoveled the ball to Kompany in the middle of the journey, who kicked the ball forward with a big foot.

Kompany's ball was not high and the arc was pressed very low. Ribery stopped the ball directly to Messi in the middle.

Messi turned around after stopping the ball and began to speed up and drive forward. Xavi Helongso dragged it at the end, and he followed Messi closely.

If you want to say that Xavi He Longso is very experienced, he knows that Messi is a left-foot player, and the most threatening one is his left-foot. So when he approaches Messi's defense, he locks on Messi's left side and forces the Argentine to the right.

Messi also quickly dribbled the ball from the middle to the right, but when the two entered the 30-meter area of ​​Real Madrid, Messi suddenly stopped and spiked with his right foot, which made Xavier He Longso unexpectedly, and he lost his center of gravity and almost fell. Messi quickly cut into Xavier He Longso's left and dribbled the ball forward.

This is Messi's smartest thing. He was just forced to go to the right. As a left-footed player, he was very passive, but now he quickly buckles and turns into incisors. His left foot immediately became favorable, and instead took the initiative.

In this case, Xavi Helongso could no longer catch up with Messi, so almost in an instant, Pepe stepped forward and blocked the arc area, but Messi suddenly passed the ball to the right and passed it behind Pepe, and saw Cavani rushing quickly from the left side of the penalty spot to the right.

Originally, Cavani was between Ramos and Pepe, but now Pepe snatched it, Cavani naturally ran to the right. Ramos could only follow Cavani's left to defend him. This defensive position itself was very passive, and Messi's ball passed to Cavani was not strong and the speed was not fast. After Cavani caught up, he didn't even need to stop the ball and directly pulled a far corner with his right foot.

Cavani's shot was also very smart. Casillas reacted quickly enough. He blocked the shooting angle of the right post of the goal. Ramos was also worried that Cavani would shoot directly, so he tried hard to speed up to block the near corner, so Cavani chose the most difficult one and hit the far corner.

The draw was not strong, because the speed and strength of the ball were not the key. In the absence of defensive players, angle was the key to whether the goal was scored. Therefore, Cavani's shot was aimed at tricks, not force.

Casillas reacted very quickly, flew to make a save, trying to save the ball with one punch, but unfortunately, it was still a little bit late. Cavani's goal rushed into the goal line and hit the inner net on the left.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL”

"In the fifth minute, just five minutes into the opening game, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in breaking the goal of Real Madrid."

"Ass from Rio Messi, Uruguay center Cavani scored, 0"

The entire White Hart Lane Stadium suddenly became aroused. Everyone couldn't believe that the goal would come so quickly and suddenly, as if it was suddenly, even if the fans who found their seats later had not yet fully entered the game state, the ball was in. What kind of rhythm is this?

Cavani rushed out of the stadium excitedly, and he rushed to the bottom of the fan stands. He knew very well that he was discussing a contract renewal with the club, scoring more goals and better performances, and gaining better chips for him. Even if it doesn't work, he hopes to win the favor of other giant teams through his wonderful performances.

Messi, Ribery and others rushed up quickly. This time the counterattack Tottenham Hotspurs invested not much force, only three people. Ribery stopped the ball and gave Messi, who led the way forward and helped Cavani after crossing Xavi River. The goal was very, very simple, but very, very deadly.

Seeing Tottenham Hotspur players hugging them on the sidelines, the Real Madrid players on the court looked very depressed, because they were miserable after the opening game, which was definitely a tragic blow to them.

Pellegrini was more depressed than anyone else on the sidelines. He repeatedly reminded the players that they should not be anxious after the start and that they should not be anxious when playing Tottenham Hotspur, but the problem is that no one listened to him.

Perhaps in the eyes of Real Madrid players, Pellegrini is already a former coach who is about to leave the team, and his speaking weight is greatly reduced. Moreover, in the past many years, Real Madrid has always given people the feeling that the team's lineup is very strong, but the strength it shows is very weak.

This has caused Real Madrid players to always have an anxious mood to prove themselves. From the Champions League quarterfinals for many years to breaking this curse, Real Madrid's high investment in every season is a pressure on the team players, making them eager to prove their strength and value.

On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur has a lot of experience and has played in the Champions League for many years. Every player in the team has a lot of experience in the Champions League, and their tactical execution is excellent. They will play whatever Ye Qiu said without any hesitation or doubt.

Just like Ye Qiu said before the game that he had to win the midfield confrontation and suppress Real Madrid in the midfield. He even asked midfielders Ramsey and Vidal to give up participating in the offense, but to suppress Xavi Helongso and David Silva's shots. Pirlo's retreat was also very deep, and he was more involved in the team's backcourt shots.

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur's offense is more launched from the wing, that is, Marcelo and Kyle or Walker's side, which clearly shows an attitude. I just expect that your two wingers will not participate in the frontcourt pressing. Do you bite me?

Real Madrid's attack power is indeed very good, but modern football tactics emphasize balance and are midfield and frontcourt pressure. Teams like Real Madrid, which basically do not keep a winger, must keep a good defense on the back line.

If it was Ye Qiu, he would basically consider pulling Xavi He Longso back and retreating deeper, completely flattening the team, running back and forth through the midfield, pressing the full-back up while holding the ball, pulling the double central defender away, forming a powerful ball-controlled formation with the midfield.

As long as it is operated properly, such a configuration can ensure that Real Madrid's defense will be improved to a certain extent, but it also requires a lot of ball-taking ability of double center backs. Judging from the abilities of Ramos and Pepe, there is no big problem.

But Pellegrini insists on playing four-backs more, and putting a Khdira in the midfield seems to be a balanced midfield configuration, but the problem is that if you two wingers do not participate in the defense, then your defensive pressure on the side will always be very high, especially when the opponent has excellent wing offensive players and excellent midfield contact points.

When Tottenham Hotspur scored the first goal, Pellegrini asked the players to calm down and the team took the ball patiently first, but Tottenham Hotspur was arranged by Ye Qiu. I scored the goal regardless of thirty-one. I am now in a strong momentum, so I rushed forward and beat Real Madrid up.

Real Madrid soon paid the price for their wing.

Kyle O Walker went forward to participate in the attack, and arrived at the 30-meter area in front of Real Madrid's goal and got Vidal's pass. At this time, Real Madrid had basically retreated to the 30-meter area to participate in the defense. There were only three scorers in front, and there was no one on the side of Kyle O Walker. Vargas was too far away and it was beyond the reach.

The England right-back stopped and looked at the situation. He noticed that Cavani was about to rush into the penalty area. Ramos and Pepe were next to the Uruguay center. The two were staring at Cavani in an uneven step. However, Kyle Walker and Cavani had cooperated many times and directly swung their right foot, copying Beckham's Full Moon Scimitar's 45-degree pass through the penalty area.

Cavani rushed forward quickly. He judged the landing point of the ball, and at the same time tried hard to disturb Pepe, preventing the Portuguese from jumping. Before the Portuguese wanted to jump, his hands were also vaguely pulling the jersey.
