Football’s First Defender

In this game, the match between Real Madrid and Dortmund is the focus of this round of the Champions League. In terms of the rhythm and style of the game, the performance of the players of the two teams on the court did not disappoint the fans.

Both teams are on the court, showing their excellent offensive strength, and are constantly using their offense to try to break the deadlock.

Although the two teams are not the kind of full-scale attack regardless of their care, both teams are constantly passing the ball at a fast pace in order to create opportunities to try to break through the opponent's defense.

However, Dortmund's defense has a very good integrity.

As for Real Madrid's defense, Yang Feng used his excellent personal performance today to continuously make Dortmund's offensive attempts come to naught.

The two sides continue to test on the offensive end.

And this kind of constant testing does not affect the two teams to create opportunities on the court.

For the two teams that are good at playing defensive counterattacks, sometimes, it only takes the opponent to make a mistake in the confrontation to seize the opportunity and give the opponent a fatal blow.

In the 15th minute of the first half of the game, Dortmund continued to launch its own offense in the frontcourt.

Dortmund took advantage of a quick free kick after being fouled in the midfield, and suddenly launched a free kick in the frontcourt, investing in the position of many offensive players to attack.

Dortmund's eight attacking players crossed the half to put pressure on Real Madrid's defence. Of course, although there are only two central defenders left in the own half, a defensive midfielder like Gentle is only standing near the arc of Real Madrid's middle circle, and there is still a certain amount of defensive space left.

One of the eight Dortmund players all chose to stand near the middle circle and before the Real Madrid penalty area line, opening up enough offensive space to facilitate small-scale passing between players, hoping to find offensive opportunities and complete the attack .

Real Madrid's defensive line chooses to defend their own area, the players retreat appropriately, get out of the midfield, and keep Benzema and Bale in front before concentrating on defending the penalty area line, giving the opponent appropriate counterattack pressure.

Yang Feng and Ramos, a pair of central defenders, stand near the penalty area line to change their defensive positions at any time by following the offensive changes on the field.

As two world-class central defenders, Yang Feng and Ramos may not have that high level of tacit understanding, but in the game, they can still play their own personal defensive advantages, and they can work together to create a certain level. offside trap to put more defensive pressure on Dortmund

.

This time, Dortmund's offensive pass passed only a triangle, and then in the middle of Castro's tentative through ball to Aubameyang, Yang Feng, who was suddenly chosen to grab him, completed a successful defense , Yang Feng stretched out his foot and poked the ball out before Aubameyang.

Dott's pass to the penalty area did not have any effect, and it was destroyed by Yang Feng.

And Cristiano Ronaldo, who retreated to his own half, moved the ball laterally after receiving the ball poked by Yang Feng, preparing to plan Real Madrid's counterattack.

It's just that Dortmund's classic tactics, of course, are to launch their own high-position defense directly in the frontcourt after the offense is over.

Since Dortmund changed its style of play and rose by relying on youth storm-based tactics, this kind of frontcourt pressing defense is still the best tactical method for Dortmund after going through many head coaches.

Although the attack of the previous eight Dortmund players in the midfield would make Dortmund's backcourt slightly empty, but at the moment of losing the ball, Gentle instantly chose to pull back to his own half to increase his own defensive numbers. The other players followed the tactics and used all their strength to press on the Real Madrid players holding the ball on the spot.

To use the frontcourt press to put more offensive pressure on Real Madrid players, and give Real Madrid players more pressure to play the ball.

Dortmund's positional offensive ability is indeed excellent, but Dortmund has actually scored a considerable part of the goals in these years. It was caused by Dortmund using the opportunity to grab the opportunity in the frontcourt, and then directly counterattacked on the spot. goal

.

Ronaldo didn't have a chance to break through this time. After receiving a great defensive impact on the wing, he could only choose to dribble the ball laterally, and then chose to pass back to Carvajal on the right before the opponent's defense came.

Carvajal sent a straight pass to the right side of the midfield and found Bell, who was leaning against the opponent's defender. After Bell stopped the ball, he wanted to turn around and speed up to complete the breakthrough, but he failed at the first step. Encountered siege by surrounding Dortmund players.

Bell's size allows him to have a certain ability on his feet, but his height and his movement speed still do not have an advantage when facing the defense of many Dortmund players.

When he couldn't rush out with his body and speed alone, Bell had no choice but to try to pass the ball under the siege of Dortmund players.

Bell finally chose to stab the pass, but was stopped by the Dortmund players who were besieging. Dortmund successfully blocked the ball in their own midfield area.

Gotze in the frontcourt quickly launched a counterattack after receiving a short pass from his teammates. The Dortmund players began to show their passing skills and continuously passed the ball in the midfield.

Gotze passed to Castro in front. Facing the incoming Real Madrid defenders, Castro did not stop the ball, and then chose to pass back to Gotze. After Gotze dribbled the ball diagonally and continued to attract the Real Madrid players, he then A short through ball at a time finds Castro running diagonally.

This time Castro made an emergency stop after receiving the ball, changed direction, shook off the defender, and after encountering the help of Real Madrid players, he passed the ball to Gentle who was plugging in behind.

Ginter's passing vision is good, and he chooses to find Gotze again on the left.

This time, Gotze showed his personal passing ability, with a through ball. In the case of continuous fast-paced passing of the ball, he still observed Aubameyang who was at the front and inserted into the penalty area, and sent a precise pass. the pass.

Gotze's pass was quite sudden. When Dortmund's continuous players passed the ball without stopping, there was a great suddenness in the attack.

But for Real Madrid, Yang Feng's defensive attention is quite concentrated.

The moment Goetze sent the pass, Yang Feng had already reacted and directly defended Aubameyang's running side.

Ramos' defensive reaction was also very quick, and he immediately stepped up to support Aubameyang, using his normal physical confrontation to interfere with Aubameyang's starting speed, while Yang Feng on the other side quickly went up and grabbed Aubameyang. Once again, Aubameyang completed the clearance of the ball.

Yang Feng took the lead in kicking the ball to Toni Kroos on the right side, and Kroos took the ball two steps forward, attracting Dortmund defenders, and immediately chose to pass the ball back to the other side Modric.

Modric just returned to the vicinity of the penalty area on the defensive end. This time on the counterattack end, after Modric received the ball, facing the Dortmund player rushing from the wing, he chose a non-stop ball. Pass the ball with the outside instep, choose the fastest speed to pass the ball to the vicinity of Benzema who is responding in the middle circle on the left

.

This pass with the instep of the foot has always been Modric's unique skill. Not to mention the speed of the foot, and the ball is passed in an arc, making it difficult for the opposing defensive player rushing in a straight line to complete the defense.

The value of Benzema is that he can play the role of a winger in his game.

It can make a breakthrough, hold the ball, and pass the ball. On the offensive end, Benzema is omnipotent.

After Benzema received a pass from Modric's instep in the midfield, he actually put a lot of pressure on Dortmund's defense line and the whole in an instant.

Dortmund does not have many defensive players in the backcourt. At this time, Dortmund's defense must trap Benzema as soon as possible.

Two defensive players came directly to block Benzema, and formed a pincer attack on Benzema.

But in the face of Modric's pass, Benzema chose to let the ball in front of him, trying to speed up along the sideline, attracting two defensive players to step forward at full speed, blocking Benzema's accelerated breakthrough or not There are passing routes.

But Benzema chose to dunk the ball back in the end.

A sliding tackle from one of Dortmund's defenders eluded him, instantly turning a one-two situation into a one-on-one situation.

Benzema's offensive choice this time is really good. After a successful smash, Benzema chose to pull the ball back and then pass the ball from the left to the midfield.

With a short pass, it was Toni Kroos who went forward.

On the counter-attack end, Real Madrid players have always been willing to put in their physical strength. Toni Kroos accelerated from behind with this kick, which happened to meet Benzema's pass.

After Toni Kroos chose to take two steps forward with the ball, he passed the ball diagonally to the right and made a straight pass. Ronaldo, who was on the right, was facing a pass to his heel at this time, and it was inconvenient to receive the ball. He jumped up and missed the ball to Ronaldo who followed up from the right.

Ronaldo chose a through ball near the corner of the penalty area on the right and passed it into Dortmund's penalty area, while Bell ran at the front of the Real Madrid lineup. Bell rushed directly to the small penalty area, although Ronaldo's pass was to the right The left-footed Bell did not have a good space to hit the goal under the interference of defensive players, but Bell was the first to reach the passing point and chose a heel to pass the ball.

knock.

Real Madrid's offense played quite smoothly. Bell's kick back was followed by Ronaldo who had chosen to jump outside the penalty area to let the ball kick off. Ronaldo followed up with an angry shot with his right foot. Hit to the top left corner of the goal.

Dortmund goalkeeper Burki took off and jumped sideways, but that and his reaction speed were still slow. Ronaldo hit the goal with full force, the ball was extremely fast, and hit the upper left corner of the goal.

1:0!

Ronaldo opened the scoring for Real Madrid!

After Ronaldo scored a goal for Real Madrid, he celebrated wildly.

For Ronaldo, since joining Real Madrid, the Westfalenstadion has not been his blessed place.

On this court, he can't always find his own offensive rhythm, and he can't always lead the team to victory.

Today, in the game, he opened the scoring for Real Madrid, and Ronaldo is confident to fight for the victory with the team.

In the game, after Real Madrid took the lead, they did not blindly choose to defend in the game. That is not Real Madrid's style or this Champions League group match. Even if Real Madrid wants to win, it does not want to use The behavior of relying on defense to concentrate on counterattack wins.

And if you really want to stick to it, in fact, the defensive stability of the Real Madrid team, even after adding Yang Feng, still has certain hidden dangers in defense, that is, it is not known who will become the breakthrough point of the opponent's attack.

After all, in the Real Madrid lineup, there is no full-time midfielder defensive player because of Casemiro's injury so far. This actually has a great hidden danger for Real Madrid's midfield defense.

.

In the game, Real Madrid chose to retreat and come back to cause interference to the opponent. However, instead of staying in front of the penalty area, Real Madrid is more similar to a 442 defensive position in the game.

Benzema and Ronaldo are more likely to choose a certain amount of defensive pressure near the midfield, while Bell's position is slightly retreated.

Bale and the three midfielders formed a four-man defensive front to stop Dortmund's midfield attack.

The back line is also guarded in front of the penalty area. Real Madrid's ten players will cover the entire midfield area to the area in front of the penalty area to encircle Dortmund's players at any time and carry out reasonable defensive damage.

But with such a defensive arrangement, when facing an attack from Dortmund, it is true that Real Madrid will actually have certain problems on the defensive end.

The most dangerous part of Real Madrid's defense is that in the face of Dortmund's continuous offensive impact, especially when Dortmund played a threatening short pass, Real Madrid

In the face of Dortmund's sudden attack, if you can't interfere with Dortmund's pass at the first time, or if you can't limit the Dortmund player's receiving the ball at the first time, as long as the Dortmund player completes the ball before the penalty area, he must It will pose a great threat to Real Madrid's defense.

The main reason is that the personal abilities of the players in the Dortmund team are quite good, especially when almost all of Dortmund's offensive players have speed and breakthrough ability, it will cause great defensive pressure on Real Madrid's single defense.

In the 27th minute of the game, Dortmund sent a precise through ball from Goetze in the frontcourt to find Dembele who suddenly moved laterally. Accelerated into the penalty area to complete the pass, but was brought down by Ramos before the big penalty area.

A chance for a direct free kick.

Ramos blocked an attempt by Dembele that might have created an excellent attacking opportunity with a foul.

And for this ball, the three Dortmund players standing in front of the penalty spot, in the end, Castro directly hit the goal with a free kick, hitting the ball to the upper left corner of Real Madrid's gate.

Navas showed a very good competitive state for this ball, jumped up quickly, and successfully blocked the ball with a flying pounce. However, because of Castro's extremely tricky angle and great strength, Navas forced Navas. Vaz, in the process of handling the ball, could only barely block the ball, and the ball remained in the penalty area, while Aubameyang took the lead, quickly advanced without offside, and came to the landing point first.

A poke shot into the empty goal.

1 to 1!

Dortmund equalized at home with Aubameyang's supplementary shot.
