Football’s First Defender

After Real Madrid took the lead in the game, they still maintained their own offensive style of play.

This is because Real Madrid's strength occupies an absolute advantage, and naturally they will not be reconciled to a 1:0 lead in the game.

However, Real Madrid's aggressive offensive style gave Las Palmas better offensive space to use.

Three minutes after Real Madrid's goal, Las Palmas waited for the attack they wanted.

When Real Madrid attacked again on the offensive end, but did not break the Las Palmas defense, Las Palmas completed the defense and passed the ball to the midfielder in the backcourt.

The midfielder quickly sent a through pass on the ground, found the most forward offensive player, and directly launched a counterattack against Real Madrid.

When the score fell behind, Las Palmas dared to invest in the counterattack.

This time, six Las Palmas yellow players rushed to Real Madrid's half-court area and formed a six-on-six offensive configuration in the frontcourt.

This is one of the more embarrassing things in the Real Madrid team, because the team has more offensive players and lacks absolute defensive players.

For example, after Casemiro is rested today, in the configuration of the three midfielders, Toni Kroos, Modric and Asensio do not have super defensive interception capabilities, so Real Madrid may be in a defensive position. Under a lot of pressure from the opponent's attack.

And this is the case at this point in the game. In addition to the four defensive players among Real Madrid's defensive players, that is, Toni Kroos and Modric, who are closer to the backcourt area, completed the chase. Defense, because the frontcourt Trident and Asensio were deeply involved in the offense before, there is no way to quickly complete the defense.

The reason why the Real Madrid players did not return to the defense in time was that Las Palmas did not actually have a numerical disadvantage on the counterattack end in the frontcourt.

Even though Real Madrid's defensive players have excellent personal strength, their defensive effect on the defensive end is actually not great, and they mainly rely on the defensive players.

However, in Las Palmas' offense this time, the entire offensive line was very open.

In the face of such a situation, Las Palmas' offensive options are also quite targeted.

Momo, who dribbled the ball in the middle, directly distributed the ball to Livaya on the left.

Livaya opened to the left, and even facing Carvajal's defense, there was still space to complete a cross directly.

The ball is passed to the front point inside the penalty area.

In fact, in the process of the opponent's counterattack, forcing the opponent to complete a cross directly from the side is already a relatively good defensive effect for Real Madrid.

It's just that Yang Feng, who was at the front point this time, didn't control the whereabouts.

The opponent's pass is fast.

Yang Feng didn't have much time to react.

As for Yang Feng's defender, he chose a good position at the receiving point. Yang Feng and his opponent handled the ball in an instant, and the ball was 50-50.

Both of them touched the ball, but neither of them could directly control the ball.

In the end, when both of them exerted their strength, the ball was pushed to the back and fell to the back point.

At this time, Real Madrid's penalty area was very empty.

The weakness of not enough defensive personnel was revealed. In the competition for the second landing point, Kroos and Ramos in the penalty area of ​​Real Madrid failed to mark the Las Palmas players who inserted behind.

Tana, who arrived at the second point of the ball first, directly volleyed and kicked the ball towards the Real Madrid goal.

Tana's left-footed volley slammed the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal, and Casilla's flying save didn't catch up in time.

Tana equalized for Las Palmas.

1:1!

The two sides returned to the same starting line.

Tana's goal equalized the score for Las Palmas and also dealt a huge blow to Real Madrid.

After the end of the first half, the two teams drew 1:1.

After changing sides, Real Madrid continued to maintain their offensive pressure in the second half.

It's just that Las Palmas, the more they fight, the more courageous they are, and they don't give Real Madrid too many opportunities to attack

.

However, the crushing of personal strength still helped Real Madrid achieve the desired offensive effect in the game.

In the 66th minute of the game, Real Madrid played an exquisite counterattack in the frontcourt.

After receiving a wonderful through ball from Modric, Morata quickly dribbled forward.

Centering on Morata, who was advancing with the ball, attracted many defensive players from Las Palmas to gather on this side to form defensive interference to Morata.

During Morata's rapid breakthrough with the ball, while enduring the opponent's body collision, he was looking for opportunities to hit the goal, or looking for opportunities to pass the ball to his teammates.

When Morata broke through to the penalty area line, when the two defenders immediately formed a siege, he did not choose to hit the goal by himself, but sent the ball to the left front penalty area.

This ball came to the opponent's defensive space, and then Ronaldo just caught the ball, took a step forward and directly completed a burst shot.

Ronaldo's shot is powerful and heavy, and he directly hits a high-quality shot from a small angle.

The goalkeeper of the home team could only do his best to block the kick. Although he blocked the kick, he missed it.

It was Benzema who followed up in the middle of Real Madrid.

Benzema came on as a substitute for Bell in the second half, facing the incoming ball, and directly completed a supplementary shot.

2 to 1!

Benzema's shooting skills will not lose the chain when he hits an empty goal. Real Madrid once again took the lead in the away game.

However, they have led Real Madrid twice in a row, but they still haven't paid enough attention to Las Palmas.

Las Palmas did not give up the game directly when it fell behind by one goal, but in the final stage of the game, by continuously replacing offensive players, they wanted to fight desperately at home

.

Facts have proved that the home team's continuous offensive players have given Las Palmas more offensive space and offensive possibilities.

In the 84th minute of the game, Las Palmas launched an offensive from the left, passing the ball from the left and finding it in the middle area.

Five defensive players and five offensive players compete for the top together. Real Madrid's defense, when playing against a weak team, cannot always form an absolute advantage in numbers because its own offensive players do not retreat in time.

At this time, Real Madrid's defense line.

With Ramos and Yang Feng's defensive positions close to the front of the goal. This time it was passed to the high ball near the penalty spot, and Toni Kroos's fight for the top did not have much effect.

The Las Palmas player took the lead to complete the header and scored a header

.

However, because the header is too far away, the rebound of the header hitting the ground this time does not pose much threat.

Yang Feng stretched his leg to block the ball.

It's just that the bouncing ball after hitting the ground is not a regular trajectory after all. Yang Feng, although the ball was stretched out to intercept and change the direction of the ball, it did not completely block the ball and the ball remained in the penalty area.

In the fight for the second landing point, this time it was still the Las Palmas players who took the lead.

After Alausen received the ball, he directly tried to complete the goal from a small angle.

Casilla made another great save.

Just this Casilla

Did not control the ball.

The ball hit Casilla's hand and was bounced off. Casilla thought he could hit the ball over the baseline, but the goalkeeper kept the forward momentum, rushed forward quickly, and hit the ball again just before the baseline blocked back.

Then, he kicked his right foot out and hit the empty goal from close range. In the 84th minute of the game, Las Palmas was equalized by Alauson who came off the bench.

2:2!

Real Madrid was equalized again in the away game

.

From this game to the second half of the second half, Real Madrid, who had been wasting offensive opportunities on the counterattack, finally encountered a bitter fruit at the last moment of the game. Las Palmas, who played at home, equalized the score in the 84th minute.

And then, when Real Madrid wanted to continue to make gains on the offensive end. The iron barrel formation of the home team Las Palmas persisted until the last moment of the game.

2:2, Real Madrid fell into the sand at home on the island of Las Palmas.

The league winning streak also ended at 17 games.

Real Madrid's winning streak has come to a halt...
