Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 605 Europe 2003 Nobles and Miners

It has to be said that when the "one superstar a year" strategy came out, Real Madrid did lead a trend in world football, and when Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo joined Real Madrid one after another, Real Madrid's game It has really become the highest enjoyment for all fans who pursue exciting games. With Zidane and Figo in the midfield, there are two master figures like Raul and Ronaldo on the front line. Real Madrid's offense Undoubtedly, they have reached a certain level. During that time, they can often be seen playing wonderful offenses like mercury pouring down the ground, using one wonderful goal after another to win one victory after another. say?Since Figo joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2000, they have won a heavyweight championship every year in the past three years, the league championship in 01, the Champions League championship in 02, and another league championship in 03.

Isn't it the dream of every team to be able to play wonderful games and get good results?You can win, you can win beautifully, and you can win the championship!
Beautiful football plus one championship after another, how many teams in history can do this?
It’s just that Florentino seems to have forgotten that in the process of winning the three championships, apart from the beautiful offense of the frontcourt superstars, the most important thing is to have a reliable defense. At that time, their goalkeeper was San Casillas, who is the main force of Real Madrid, is the backbone of the defense, Hierro, who has the most experience in La Liga, and the French Iron Gate Makelele, who runs tirelessly at the front of the penalty area...

But now?Hierro was ruthlessly abandoned, and Makelele left the Premier League. How can Casillas alone support Real Madrid's defense?What's more, when almost all the midfielders are offensive players?

The [-]-[-] loss to Valencia without temper in the league is a dangerous sign. Unfortunately, all this was overshadowed by the [-]-[-] massacre against Valladolid. At this moment, Basically, no one could have expected that there are seven superstars, and Real Madrid, which has reached its peak in the number of superstars, has begun to decline...

In the game where Valencia beat Real Madrid, Mourinho made a detailed study. Maybe Benitez still lacked in the overall layout, but in terms of commanding changes on the spot and arranging tactics against a certain opponent, Benitez is undoubtedly the best in the world!

Valencia played very ugly in that game, most of the time they concentrated at least [-] players in the backcourt, Benitez didn't even send a real striker on the field!But it is this style of play, the defense led by Ayala made it difficult for the Real Madrid superstars to attack, and then through two beautiful counterattacks, Mista and Oliveira's shots solved everything, and Valencia won a goal. The scene was ugly, but the result was a complete victory!

From the perspective of appreciation, this game is undoubtedly lackluster. Most of the time, fans can only see one foul after another, and half-time fight after another. Although it is intense, it is not exciting!But in the eyes of coaches like Mourinho, this game is undoubtedly a close to a textbook classic game, a classic example of using defense to defeat offense!
So Mourinho also adopted this tactic in this game. Every player on the field must participate in the defense. After the striker loses the ball, he quickly counterattacks on the spot. Space, pay attention to physical confrontation, use barbarian style of play to stifle the elegant moves of technical geniuses!
This style of play is easy to criticize, but it is very effective!

In the rough style of English football, Zidane began to get lost. They were completely helpless when attacking. Although their skills were very good, they could not lead the ball in front of a defense line with almost no gaps. Goal?As for crossing from the wing, both Figo and Carlos are among the best players on the wing, but their two forwards, Raul and Ronaldo, are not good at heading. Especially these two defenders who are around 1.8 meters tall hit the ball on their heads, that would be too embarrassing for them!
The Real Madrid fans booed the Newcastle players crazily almost from the beginning of the game, while the Newcastle players were unmoved-jokes, which one is not a professional player, and is afraid of this little child ?It is estimated that the only stadiums that can scare European players are the stadiums in Turkey, mainly because personal safety is in danger.

As for the Newcastle fans, they don’t care about these boos. As Sir Hall said, the only thing Newcastle fans want now is the championship, no matter which championship is fine, and they don’t care about the way you win. As long as you can win, it doesn't matter even if you rely on the opponent's own goal to win [-]-[-]...

But after all, Real Madrid has not gone downhill yet, and their two midfield superstars who are over [-] years old have not become unable to run after a season of fatigue. Although there are huge flaws in the defense, as long as their seven If the superstars are healthy and have no physical problems, they are capable of defeating any team-of course, they may also need a little luck.

Although Newcastle turned their backcourt into a thorny road that made it difficult to walk, the superstars of Real Madrid still used their skills, their abilities, and a little bit of luck to step over this thorny road.

No. 308 minutes, Zidane, Luis Figo, Beckham and Cambiasso four midfielders played a beautiful pass in the midfield, the last Zidane received the ball in the national team teammate Makele Lai's defense still managed to distribute the ball to Roberto Carlos who was on the left. Carlos used his speed to forcefully break through Kufuor's defense, and then slammed the ball towards the goal near the baseline!
The ball quickly flew past the dense crowd, and none of Newcastle's defenders dared to take it lightly. After all, judging from the speed of the ball's flight and its proximity to the goal, as long as there is a slight uncertainty, it may be an own goal.

Woodgate still took a kick, the ball bounced upwards on the inside of his arch, Lucio was about to head the ball to clear the siege, when Ronaldo next to him suddenly stretched out his foot and poked the ball, the ball flew towards Shay. When Shay was about to reach out to catch the ball, Raul flew out from the crowd and poked the ball into the goal!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL-Raul-Gonzalez!" The commentator of the Bernabeu yelled fiercely. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time: "Prince Bernabeu showed his keen sense of smell in front of the goal at the critical moment ! Real Madrid is leading at home! Although Newcastle almost used ten people to defend, they still can't stop the progress of the Galacticos!"

Raul kissed his left ring finger, and then ran on the lawn with open arms, and other teammates cheered uncontrollably, celebrating this hard-won goal.

Although the opponent scored a goal, the Newcastle players did not change their style of play, and they still fought hand-to-hand with the elegant superstars of Real Madrid, although today Newcastle no longer has so many Newcastle players Local players, but they have inherited the "coal guy" style!

Aristocrats and miners fight hand-to-hand - is this a contest of class?

After scoring a goal, the Real Madrid players thought the game would be easier, but they found that even if they scored a goal, their offense was still so difficult, even twice as tight as before losing the goal, even ten times tighter. times!
However, the fierce counterattacks of their two sides made Real Madrid's side attack a lot of fear. Under the strong pressure created by Nie Fei, Roberto Carlos also had to reduce the number of his assists. After all, Real Madrid does not have a dedicated left. As an avant-garde, although Carlos can provoke a side attack and defense alone, it doesn't mean that he can really be used as two people!

In the second half, Newcastle grabbed the loophole left by Carlos' assist and evened the score!

Makelele split the ball immediately after stealing the ball, Nie Fei quickly passed the midfielder after receiving the ball, and gave the ball to Ibrahimovic in the middle before Cambiasso came up, and then Ibrahimovic immediately passed the ball back, a beautiful Two to one, Nie Fei dribbled the ball into the penalty area without any defense, then lightly swayed past Pavon who was filling in, and immediately kicked and shot vigorously!

Casillas reacted quickly and threw the ball, but Shearer immediately appeared in front of the ball and grabbed the ball in front of Elguera into the empty goal!

One to one, Newcastle successfully equalized the score!
And this score is also the final score of the game!

Newcastle took a point from the Bernabeu in the most practical way. They only had five shots in the whole game, and only two shots were within the frame, but they scored a goal in this way!
But they are also worthy of this point. Although Real Madrid's ball possession rate reached 60.00%[-] and the number of shots was as high as eleven times, they only hit three times within the goal frame. They can do well under Real Madrid's offense. To this extent, Mourinho's transformation of the defense has also begun to take shape.

"We were lucky to take one point."

After the game, Pei Wei stood up in a good mood and shook hands with Florentino, speaking insincerely.

"Congratulations to Newcastle, they deserve this point." Florentino couldn't laugh anymore, but he could only praise his opponent against his will: "I'm looking forward to the game in half a month...it will be our turn then." We are a guest."

Pei Wei laughed heartily.
