Football’s First Defender

In the early stage of this season's league, La Liga will have a consecutive week of double matches.

So this is actually a very important test for each team's physical distribution in the early stage of the league.

Not to mention that for a team of Real Madrid's level, there are still European matches to be played in the middle of the week, which makes for Real Madrid, after the national team match day, every week in the near future will be a weekly schedule of double matches .

First there is the Champions League game in the middle of the week, and then there is a La Liga game in the middle of the week. After a consecutive week of double matches, the second round of the Champions League is interspersed, so for Real Madrid, this will be three consecutive games. Zhou's double match is actually a very important test for the physical distribution of the Real Madrid team members.

Even though Real Madrid has now won 16 consecutive league victories across seasons, breaking its own team's historical record for consecutive victories, it has also tied the record for the most consecutive victories in La Liga held by Barcelona with 16 consecutive victories.

But when the record is in front of us, in the home game against Villarreal, Real Madrid still chose to rotate the lineup, which shows Zidane's confidence in his team lineup.

It is also a kind of confidence in the team, thinking that his team, even if the lineup is rotated, will still achieve a suppressive offensive and defensive force and win the game.

In this game, Real Madrid continued to carry out their own rotation lineup. Carvajal, who performed well in the previous game, passed the rotation in this game and got a chance to take a rest and sit on the bench.

Real Madrid sent a right back, another powerful player Danilo, partner Ramos, Yang Feng and Marcelo formed a defense line.

And in midfield. Casemiro missed the game due to injury, and the starters were Kovacic's partner Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez.

Casemiro was injured in the last game. He will be absent from this game due to injury and will continue to recuperate for a while.

And Modric is because of his age, it is impossible to play 100% in every league game, and Zidane chose to take a rotation in this game.

In the selection of the trident in the frontcourt, Zidane sent the BBC combination in this game, with Benzema in the middle, Ronaldo and Bell separated on the left and right.

Real Madrid's game lineup actually has quite strong offensive strength in the midfield, but there is a hidden danger. In fact, the team still lacks sufficient breakthrough ability and still needs to rely on the offense of Marcelo on the left side in the game.

In midfield, Ronaldo's passing ability is good, but compared to Modric, he should still be slightly inferior in passing.

Ronaldo relied more on his own offensive threats to open up the situation, and he couldn't grasp the pass very finely like Modric.

Real Madrid is still in the game and chose to rotate, while Villarreal is united and wants to play their own outstanding performance in this game and create a big enough threat to Real Madrid.

Especially Real Madrid will Qi Lishev.

Facing Real Madrid, I still want to perform to prove my strength.

The Villarreal team is an autonomous regional team.

It is definitely a neutral team in La Liga, neither favoring Barcelona nor Real Madrid.

To say that there is no bias, it is better to say that both sides have the same source, and no one can offend. The goal of the team is very simple, which is to strive to complete relegation every season, and then obtain better team benefits through player transfers and broadcast fees.

Even though this game is a guest at the Bernabéu, as a quasi-strong team, Villarreal still wants to stop Real Madrid.

To interrupt Real Madrid's winning streak and become the background board for the end of Real Madrid's winning streak.

At the beginning of the Ancelotti era, Real Madrid won 22 consecutive victories in various competitions. In the end, it was ended by the La Liga team Valencia. At that time, it brought huge exposure to Valencia. Everyone knows , it was the Valencia team that gave Real Madrid a fatal blow.

Villarreal's team strength this year is still good.

Many of the team's powerful fighters have excellent personal strength, especially the defensive line, which is not only a top endorsement in La Liga, but also an absolutely capable defensive line player.

In the first four games of this season, Villarreal has an unbeaten record of two draws and two wins.

You know, Villarreal has played two Champions League play-off games before, and after the Europa League group stage.

Under the rhythm of a week of double matches, they also achieved an unbeaten record of two wins and two draws in the league.

And among them, in the last game, they defeated Real Madrid's direct team, Real Sociedad, which is also a powerful team, and drew away from the equally powerful Celia.

.

This season, judging from the current performance of Villarreal on the court, it is definitely a year when Villarreal wants to achieve results.

Therefore, this Villarreal team has quite strong strength and can pose a certain threat to Real Madrid.

This is also the reason why Zidane chose to start the BBC in this game. Zidane wants to use offense to give Real Madrid an advantage in the early stage, and when they can quickly score goals, they can directly establish a victory.

Just judging from the scene of the game, although the BBC team has a strong offensive ability, but in the absence of enough receivers and passers at the back, the offensive strength of the BBC frontcourt trio has not been fully utilized. .

Before the game started, there was still good news for Real Madrid. In the previous game, Barcelona faced Atletico Madrid directly in this round of the league. The game was tied at 1:1. As long as Real Madrid can win this game, they will further widen the gap with the two teams in the standings and establish their chances of winning the league championship.

Facing Villarreal's iron barrel defense, Real Madrid's offensive end, in fact, although they wanted to make a breakthrough from the beginning of the game, their performance was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.

Like Sporting Lisbon that they faced in the UEFA Champions League before, Villarreal is a team with outstanding players. Real Madrid's offense will naturally be greatly resisted.

In this stalemate situation, it is necessary for Real Madrid to have explosive players on the field to complete the breakthrough to open the opponent's defense line, causing turmoil in the opponent's defense line, and then looking for offensive opportunities.

It's a pity that in the Real Madrid lineup for this game, there are actually very few such explosive players.

In Zidane's previous predictions, in fact, this game actually wants to play with all the main players. Modric and Carvajal should have needed to start in Zidane's plan, but the last game ended Finally, the team doctor suggested that both Modric and Carvajal had some minor injuries and were in danger of getting sick. Playing in this game is very likely to cause injuries to both of them.

This makes Zidane have no choice but to carry out a so-called passive rotation. This kind of rotation has led to Real Madrid's real explosive players in the game, and Marcelo may be the only player who can show excellent breakthrough ability.

Ronaldo does have a certain breakthrough ability. But his breakthrough ability is more of an individual. The application of ball-handling skills in a small area can shake off the defense of defensive players, create a certain space, and then directly complete the attack by himself, and complete the long-range goal.

And it is impossible to be like Modric. After getting rid of it, there is not only a long-range threat, but also a pass threat, and the threat of continuous offensive pressure on the opponent's defense after advancing forward.

The same is true for Danilo on the right. Although Carvajal's main role is to pass from the bottom to the right, Carvajal's occasional lateral movement can also create threats and can also be used in the penalty area. The continuous sudden stop and shaking creates murderous intent, but Danilo's offensive method is actually relatively simple, and more of it is just crossing from the side, but it cannot reach the same level as Carvajal, playing an absolute containment role on the side.

Without enough breakthrough points, it is obvious that in the game, facing Villarreal's iron barrel defense, Real Madrid has no good way to completely mobilize the opponents who are standing on the defensive line, so that the penalty area can gain more There is enough space for the BBC combination to complete the offensive play.

This game, so far, is not easy...
