Football’s First Defender

As the game progressed, there was light rain in the sky.

The rain made the turf slippery, which further made it difficult for Real Madrid to control the ball in this game.

For a team like Real Madrid, the most annoying thing in the game is the changes caused by various unexpected factors to the game.

After all, Real Madrid is a team with superior strength. In the case of absolute strength, the more changes, the more likely it will cause frequent accidents.

After all, the light rain in the sky in this game is definitely not a good thing for a team like Real Madrid that is absolutely crushed technically.

Because the more technically crushed, the more precise the pass is.

For example, the pass of Toni Kroos, such as the short pass cooperation of various players, all require excellent control of the pass.

But the rain makes the turf slippery, making the way of passing the ball very different from the past, which actually limits the performance of Real Madrid players. On the other hand, the Athletic Bilbao team has a good physical foundation in the game. They can display their running ability, use their physical fitness, and use their running to complete the coverage of the court. Launch an aggressive press.

The players of the Athletic Bilbao team have always had a high attitude in the game. Even if the team is behind, they can still concentrate and pose a threat to Real Madrid in the game.

And this kind of running ability in the game brought opportunities to the Athletic Bilbao team. Their continuous breakthroughs on the right wing finally caused Marcelo's defensive mistakes.

On the slippery ground, it did not affect the acceleration of the players of the Athletic Bilbao team and sent a cross.

In fact, during the game, Yang Feng already wanted to change direction and block the ball when the opponent wanted to catch the ball in the penalty area, but it was because of the slippery field that Yang Feng's blocking speed slowed down, and Merino Chances of hitting the ball.

Yang Feng's interception speed this time became very slow due to the problem of force, which gave the opponent a chance. If it wasn't for the rain, if it wasn't for the slippery turf, Yang Feng might have a chance to intercept Athletic Bilbao in this game. The team's shot this time.

The two sides fought 1:1, which is definitely not a good thing for Real Madrid. What Real Madrid should do is to try to score a second goal as soon as possible when they have already taken the lead at home, so as to expand the score and seal the victory. However, the score was equalized by Athletic Bilbao in less than ten minutes, and the two teams returned to the same starting line.

For Real Madrid, on the one hand, they will be afraid of the counterattack of the Athletic Bilbao team, and on the other hand, they will increase their investment in the offensive end. After all, this is the Bernabéu stadium, and a draw is definitely not Real Madrid. Real Madrid's goal is to take all three points.

For the coach of Athletic Bilbao, Ernesto Valverde, he still wants to cause enough threats to Real Madrid in the game. After all, although the teams in the Basque Country have always been neutral teams, in the When facing the two giants of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​they are trying their best to express themselves, but for Valverde, for Real Madrid, he has a deeper plot of wanting to beat Real Madrid. As a coach with a heart for Barcelona, ​​in When facing Real Madrid, he really wanted to use his excellent record against Real Madrid to show his coaching ability.

Throughout the first half of the game, Real Madrid has been actively launching its own offense for the rest of the time, constantly using the impact of the BBC combination to form a containment in the middle, creating certain offensive opportunities for Isco in the midfield.

The main offensive starting points are concentrated on Marcelo on the left and Carvajal on the right. There will continue to be two full-backs as the starting points of the team's offensive, especially the combination of the frontcourt forms an offensive containment to give Opponents cause trouble.

Real Madrid's offense is constantly going on, while the Athletic Bilbao team in the away game chooses to use defensive counterattacks to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense.

The performance of the Athletic Bilbao team today is definitely very good. Their players use active running and excellent competitive state to constantly cause crises to Real Madrid's defense.

Throughout the first half of the game, the Athletic Bilbao team had a lot of counterattacks. After all, the Real Madrid midfielder lacked a defensive core player like Casemiro. This gave the Athletic Bilbao players a better chance to break through the Real Madrid midfielder and put huge pressure on Real Madrid's defense.

But fortunately, Real Madrid has always been led by Yang Feng's defense in the game and has done its own defense in the game.

Yang Feng, in this game, he continued to play his role in the defensive line. As a player who is very good at defending the opponent's counterattack, Yang Feng once again showed his value in the game, constantly using his excellent position to resolve a Another counterattack from Athletic Bilbao.

Yang Feng's position is sometimes protruding, and he clears the opponent's long pass at the first time, and sometimes retreats. When he judges that there is no good opportunity to go up, he and Varane stick to the penalty area in the game to defuse the opponent's attack.

Yang Feng can make the right choice every time. Not only can he choose a good defensive position, but he can even direct his teammates to complete a suitable defensive position and form an effective group defense.

This is where Yang Feng's value lies. In the case of partnering with Varane in this game, I have to say that Varane has figured it out during this time as a substitute. He doesn't want to mess up such a rare starting opportunity. Although it is said that there is a competitive relationship with Yang Feng, Varane can only find ways to prove his defensive value when Yang Feng has been imprisoned as the main player.

At this time, Varane didn't want to suffer a draw, or a loss, in his starting game.

The first half was tied 1:1. During the intermission, Zidane also focused on making some adjustments on the offensive end.

In this game, Zidane didn't want to just get a draw in the game. Real Madrid, who are playing at home, of course want to win the game.

In the second half of the game, Real Madrid continued to maintain their own pressure on the offensive end, but the first chance to get a threatening goal was the away Athletic Bilbao team.

Real Madrid made a huge mistake this time in passing the ball in the backcourt. Toni Kroos passed the ball back to Varane. Due to the slippery rain, Varane stopped the ball and slipped. Instead, the ball slipped past his feet and was just rushed over by the opposing striker who wanted to form a frontcourt press. The player Williams, who had the opportunity to complete the steal, rushed straight to the Real Madrid penalty area to complete a volley and hit the goal.

Thanks to Yang Feng's defensive interference from the side, Williams could only choose to finish the goal quickly, and Navas's fast forward also put a huge psychological pressure on Williams. Without good control, the ball hit the ball directly.

But a quasi-single-handed goal came from Real Madrid's own mistakes, which also made the fans a little worried.

Valverde on the sidelines was also helpless. This time, Williams shot the ball away in a quasi-single-handed opportunity.

On the other hand, Yang Feng and Navas yelled at their teammates together, alerting their teammates, keeping their attention, and absolutely not making such low-level mistakes again.

Although there is such a small episode in the defense, Real Madrid's offense continues.

Real Madrid's goal in this game is to win. They are constantly increasing their offensive strength to complete the offensive suppression.

In the 55th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo forcibly broke through and passed a cross after switching lanes with Bell on the right. Toni Kroos, who followed up, hit the goal with his iconic putt, but unfortunately he was blocked by the goalkeeper with a sideways save.

Kroos' kick missed the chance to give Real Madrid the lead due to the goalkeeper's excellent concentration, but it was also seen when Toni Kroos also advanced forward in the game and created an attacking threat How invested Real Madrid is in the offensive end now.

During the game, Real Madrid's six players in the midfield and the two full-backs were constantly rushing forward to suppress the opponent.

With the eight players in the front field constantly attacking in turn, Yang Feng is also appropriately advancing his defensive position, which was not common in the past.

In the past, although Yang Feng participated in the offense, Yang Feng's more role was to complete the defense as the last guarantee of the team's defense. However, because Varane and Yang Feng are similar players , So when Varane is playing, Yang Feng can also hand over his defensive tasks to Varane, and he will act as an organizing midfielder in the game to deliver shells to the team's offensive line.

This is Real Madrid's offensive suppression ability and their offensive change ability. Real Madrid has always had absolute strength suppression in the game, which allows Real Madrid to make bold offensive attempts on the offensive end, even if Athletic Bilbao's counterattack Equally threatening, however, Real Madrid still believe they are the team that can take the lead in breaking the deadlock on the offensive end.

In the 59th minute of the game, after Isco used his breakthrough ability to get rid of the defender, he passed a 45-degree diagonal pass from the left into the penalty area, and Real Madrid fired three arrows in the penalty area.

This time, Benzema made a header from the back point. Unfortunately, the angle of Benzema's header was so right that it was directly missed by the goalkeeper of Athletic Bilbao. Hugging, it didn't pose too much threat.

In the case of being closely guarded by Athletic Bilbao players in the penalty area, Ronaldo also began to consciously retreat to catch the ball from the outside, gain a certain amount of offensive space, and then look for opportunities to directly shoot long shots .

In the 63rd minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo shot an angry shot from outside the penalty area and went straight to the goal. Unfortunately, he was saved by the goalkeeper of the Athletic Bilbao team. The goalkeeper of the Athletic Bilbao team performed bravely in the game today. In the face of the rounds of bombing by the Real Madrid generals, Elisos achieved a very beautiful goalkeeper save result.

One minute later, Bell forced a cross from the left after changing lanes. Bell's ability to pass from the left is definitely the most difficult way to defend.

Bell's speed and his size allow him to fully display his offensive characteristics when he is left-footed on the left. Although he cannot threaten the goal, this cross does retain the ability of players in the penalty area to compete for the top. Chance.

It's just a pity that Ronaldo's header from the front point went wide again.

And the game has progressed to the present, when Isco's several breakthroughs did not have very good results, Real Madrid also made substitutions and adjustments, and Vazquez replaced Isco.

The meaning of such a substitution is very simple, that is, Real Madrid has given up the opportunity to use the breakthrough, or the opportunity to break the game in the middle, and concentrate on making a fuss on the left and right sides, and use the cross to find the BBC combination in the middle to complete a simple and rude move. Offensive way.

Real Madrid began to continuously route offensive players on the left and right sides to let the players in the center grab points. Four players, Bale, Vazquez, Marcelo and Carvajal, took turns to make crosses from the side. , try to create opportunities for teammates in the penalty area.

It's just a pity that although Real Madrid and Real Madrid players can grab the landing position sometimes, under the defensive interference of Athletic Bilbao players, there is still no way to form an effective attack.

In order to further strengthen the team's ability to compete in the penalty area, Zidane then replaced Benzema and replaced Morata, who is also very good at heading.

Real Madrid took turns bombing the opponent's team with continuous crosses.

The more the game goes on, the faster the physical fitness of the players of the Athletic Bilbao team declines, and the greater the advantage Real Madrid has, but Real Madrid just can't change the score on the field.

In the end, the Athletic Bilbao team was unable to form an oppressive defense on the periphery, but they still stuck to the last line of defense and resolutely prevented Real Madrid from scoring.

Real Madrid's continuous indiscriminate bombing, and after 80 minutes of the game, finally reaped the results.

It was still a simple and rude cross from the side. This time Bell forced a breakthrough from the left and completed a 45-degree cross from the left. Morata, who came off the bench, was restrained by Ronaldo in the middle. Instead, he pushed forward to the front.

Facing Bell's pass, he directly completed a kick shot from the front point

.

This time, Bell chose a low and flat cross in the 45-degree cross from the left. Pad shot.

Elisos's save was already very exciting. He blocked the goal at the first time, but the second point of the ball remained in the penalty area.

Still staying beside Elisos, Elisos was already struggling to make a second save, but Morata, who advanced forward, was faster. After hitting the goal, he continued to rush forward with a right kick The kick of the foot, one step ahead of Elisos' hand, hit the football and stabbed the ball into the empty goal.

Morata, who came off the bench, contributed to the team and Real Madrid finally played at their home court

regained the lead.

The game after that was very simple. The Athletic Bilbao team had lost their physical strength to create any threat to Real Madrid in the away game. Real Madrid began to play with the ball in the game and dragged on for the last ten minutes.

In the end, 2 to 1, Real Madrid defeated the first difficult opponent Athletic Bilbao encountered in the league this season at home and won consecutive victories.
