949 Real Madrid's Seven Inch
Real Madrid actively launched an offensive after re-teletting, relaxing its state to launch a rapid offensive towards Liverpool.
But the team's offense cannot create particularly good opportunities.
In the 7th minute of the game, Qin Xiong shook Mascherano horizontally in front of the penalty area and his long shot was saved by Reina.
In the 12th minute, Qin Xiong pulled the edge and crossed the header opportunity for Raul was also swayed by Raul.
On the other hand, Liverpool's offensive seemed to be more vigorous and fierce.
Gerald, Lera, Kuyt and Alonso made crazy presses against the midfield, and consciously suppressed Guti and Diyala.
Gerrard missed a golden opportunity in the 14th minute of the game. After Diarra's pass to Robben was cut off by Aurerio, Liverpool launched a sharp fast attack.
Aurerio directly drove the ball to the right side of the frontcourt.
It was Kuyt again, who rushed to the edge of the penalty area and beat Marcelo to the header.
Torres attracted Pepe and Cannavaro at the front point. Gerald rushed to the back point to the goal and rushed to the top. Facing the Real Madrid goal that was almost mid-air, Gerald's header actually flew away!
Benitez shook his hand fiercely on the sidelines, secretly annoyed that the Jay team missed the opportunity.
Although he coached Liverpool for many years, Benitez has a very average relationship with players. He is a crazy man at work, but a cold-hearted person in life and often seems inhuman to players.
Because of this, even though the players listened to Benitez, they did not necessarily have a very good personal relationship with him.
At this moment, the audience in the Bernabeu stands also saw an obvious problem: Real Madrid cannot control the midfield!
This is almost invisible in the past two months of competition.
It’s not that Real Madrid’s control ability has declined, but that the opponents are different!
Liverpool from the Premier League first had significantly stronger running and pressing aggressiveness in defense.
Secondly, it is also the conclusion reached by Benitez after studying Real Madrid's match.
Most of La Liga live under the shadow of the terrifying firepower of the White Legion last season!
So in the past two months of the game, Real Madrid's opponents have been limiting Real Madrid's forward line!
Five defenders tactics, iron barrel formation, three midfielders and other methods to curb Real Madrid.
This method was adopted last season and is very common.
But it still cannot stop Real Madrid from crushing.
Benitez believes that this phenomenon is strange: Real Madrid's overall strength is not as good as last season, why can't the same defensive strategy bring better results?
After studying Real Madrid's game, he found that these La Liga teams were too afraid of attack groups like Qin Xiong, Raul, Robben, and Sneider, had already reached the reaction of blindly blocking and curbing the individuals of Real Madrid's attack group.
This is a prison for drawing a yard. There is no real analysis from the perspective of the overall situation.
Real Madrid's forward is indeed very strong.
But where is the weak link in Real Madrid?
Midfielder!
m-Diara was injured in the first half of the season and was in poor form after recovering from injury. Ras Diarra, who replaced him, has not yet fully integrated into the team. He has not formed a whole with Real Madrid's skillful and tacit technical and tactical system last season.
Secondly, midfielder Guti has shown a downward trend in his competitive state this year. After 32 years old, Guti is already an absolute veteran!
His physical condition is first of all, he cannot guarantee that he can be as energetic as in the past. Secondly, Guti has also suffered minor injuries this season, which seriously affected his competitive condition.
When facing Real Madrid, most La Liga teams focus on the defense line, which does not expose the weakness of the midfield combination Guti and Las Diyala!
They can play freely in a relaxed environment, Guti organizes the offense, and can also participate in the offense when they are relaxed. Diyala is enough to deal with the opponent's occasional and not fierce counterattack.
Liverpool took extreme defense against Real Madrid last season, waiting for Real Madrid midfielder to press forward and exposed the air defense to make a quick counterattack.
This season, Benitez has changed his strategy, and fast break is still the main offensive method. But there is no need to wait for Real Madrid to make a mistake before making a fatal blow.
Set the main battlefield in the midfield!
Blocking Real Madrid's midfield organization and even being able to directly steal and launch a fast attack can kill Real Madrid!
The first goal is the embodiment of his will in his tactical arrangement.
Since then, more Liverpool's offensive opportunities have also come from this, but they have failed to seize the opportunity.
Benitez will not think that his pre-match tactical arrangement can continue to play a role until the end of the game, but before Real Madrid makes active and effective responses and adjustments, Liverpool must seize every opportunity that appears!
This is why he failed to grasp his inner anger at Gerald's face of golden opportunities.
The players who see Liverpool's intentions also include Qin Xiong on the field.
Guti was targeted today, and Diyala did not have the organizational talent to calm the scene. Real Madrid's midfield offense and defense center was suppressed by Liverpool and was almost on the verge of destruction.
Real Madrid finally managed to push the offense to the front line, which might not be a good opportunity. Instead, it was difficult to move forward.
In Qin Xiong's eyes, Guti may have declined after achieving unprecedented glory last season. After all, he is a veteran and has the mentality of just waiting to return to the field after success.
Before the signings for Real Madrid began last summer, there were media listing that Real Madrid needed to introduce a high-quality midfield commander to serve as Guti's successor.
It was originally believed that Fabregas would rush to the Bernabeu to allow Real Madrid's midfield strength to rise instead of decreasing.
As a result, Fabregas was missing at all, but instead starred in a summer soap opera with Ronaldo.
This is not without precursors. The problems exposed by Real Madrid now have actually appeared in the national derby against Barcelona.
At that time, Real Madrid could only restrain Barcelona by using extreme defense.
But at the Bernabeu, he faces Liverpool at home. Could Real Madrid also play against defense?
This is impossible!
Especially with such rapid momentum in the past two months, and most players now hope to better show themselves and strive to stay in the football temple after the Bernabeu era of change this summer.
Faced with the team's poor midfield organization, Qin Xiong took the initiative to retreat. This retreat is different from his occasional retreat as Ying Feng.
This is a character change, from Shadow Front to an attacking midfielder, and the formation of Real Madrid will also change.
Chapter completed!
