Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 607 Europe 2003 Is it an accident?
Compared with the game half a month ago, Real Madrid's starting lineup has not changed at all. Goalkeeper Given, defenders Salgado, Elguera, Pavon, Roberto Carlos, midfielder Cambiasso, Beckham Mu, Zidane, Figo, strikers Raul and Ronaldo, it's not that Queiroz doesn't want to make substitutions, and it's not that there are no substitutes in Real Madrid who can replace the main players, such as the strength of the Argentine Solari and the second captain Guti They are all very good, but it is a pity that Solari is a left midfielder, but Real Madrid has no left midfielder in the lineup, and Guti's competitor in the midfielder position is Zidane, and other things such as Raul. Bravo's strength was a bit worse, and even Morientes had to be loaned out, let alone them.

Under Real Madrid's suffocatingly luxurious main lineup, their substitute lineup is pitifully weak.

In this regard, at least Newcastle is much better than Real Madrid, and it also gave Mourinho sufficient confidence in the rotation. In this game, he made bold lineup adjustments. The lineup he arranged was a four-five-one lineup. !
The goalkeeper Shay, the four defenders are Trabelsi, Woodgate, Lucio and Bernard, the midfielder Nie Fei returned to his familiar position as the front midfielder, behind him are Makelele and Janus, Robert, who has performed well recently on the left, was accidentally placed on the bench by him, replaced by a younger, faster Jordan Stewart, Dyer on the right, and Ibrahimovic as a single Forward, captain Shearer also sat on the bench!
This main lineup undoubtedly took everyone by surprise. If Robert was placed on the bench because he had played the main force for four consecutive games and needed a rest, then he has scored [-] goals since the start of the season. Ten goals, as long as he is not injured, Shearer, who is definitely the main player, sits on the bench, which is simply the biggest stupid move!
However, what surprised the reporters and fans at the scene was that Shearer, who was sitting on the bench, was chatting and laughing with other substitute players, without any expression of dissatisfaction!
Mourinho sat on the coach's bench with his hands folded, keeping his expression on his face. Queiroz looked at Mourinho in surprise, and then hesitantly sat on the coach's bench of the visiting team.

After the start of the game, Real Madrid, who kicked off the ball first, still based on the midfielder and launched a short pass to cooperate with the attack. This is also their best attack method. With Zidane and Figo, two of the most skilled midfielders of this era After the master, no team will not use this offensive method!
But just like the previous game, Newcastle turned their own half into a big quagmire. Almost everyone was involved in defense, running and stealing, making it difficult for Real Madrid's superstars to move even if they had the best skills!

"What is this? We didn't score first in the last game!" Queiroz thought secretly in his heart.

It's just that he overlooked one point. In the last game, due to Shearer's slow speed, Newcastle failed to make a quick counterattack most of the time, but this game is different!
Stewart's speed is quite fast, perhaps not as good as the seasoned Robert in terms of ball handling and offensive organization, but in fast counterattacks and breakthroughs, the younger and more physically fit Stewart has a greater advantage. Dyer in the middle and Nie Fei in the middle, the 11-meter speed of the three attacking players in Newcastle's midfield is close to [-] seconds, which is quite a terrifying statistic!

Although Ibrahimovic is not good at speed, his short-distance sprint speed is definitely not slow!

5 minutes.

Makelele snatched the ball from Figo's feet with an action that was close to a foul. The ball rolled out and landed at Nie Fei's feet. Nie Fei stopped the ball, and he saw the right side from the corner Dyer was plugging in at high speed, and immediately made a diagonal pass and passed the ball!

At the moment he passed the ball, Dyer just inserted from behind the middle circle line, absolutely not offside!

Carlos quickly chased after him. He was absolutely not afraid of anyone in terms of speed, but Dyer's speed was close to 11 seconds. After taking the advantage of starting first, even Carlos did not want to catch up with him easily. !
If you look down from a high altitude, you can clearly see that after Nie Fei passed the ball, in addition to Dyer on the right, Stewart on the left and Ibrahimovic on the center have quickly rushed into the half of Real Madrid. field, and behind Ibrahimovic, Janus also rushed up!

Dyer caught up with Nie Fei's pass at high speed. At this time, Pavon rushed up from the side to defend him, and Carlos was also chasing closely behind him. Instead of continuing to dribble, Dyer kicked directly The ball was sent to the middle!
Ibrahimovic, who rushed up from behind, received the ball - the place where he caught the ball was already in the penalty area. Facing Salgado who rushed up in a hurry, Ibrahimovic calmly dunked the ball to the middle, just swayed past the back Salgado tackled the ball, and then rushed up to Elguera and immediately shot with his right foot!

Casillas has fallen to the ground!But the ball flew over his head!

The ball that passed over Casillas' head began to fall downwards, and under the desperate eyes of the Real Madrid players, it flew into the goal without hesitation!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL——Zlatan Ibrahimovic!" Williams roared loudly: "A beautiful counterattack! A quick counterattack after a midfield steal! Pass the ball with two feet and kill with one blow! From Nie Fei passing the ball in the middle to Ibrahimovic sending the ball into the goal, the whole process only took 15 seconds! Speed, absolute speed! Although there is no gorgeous dribbling technique, this simple counterattack contains Unlimited beauty! Let's take a look at the slow motion and see the footage shot from the sky! One kick, two kicks, shoot! It's that simple!"

Ibrahimovic got up from the ground, ran on the field with open arms, and nearly [-] Newcastle fans in the stands gave the Swede all the praises they could think of——Ibrahimovic's action But I learned from Ronaldo. You must know that although Ronaldo is only five years older than him, he is his idol, and the team he is facing now is Ronaldo's team!

Think about it, how enjoyable it is to be able to score a goal in front of your idol's team, and then celebrate your goal with your idol's favorite celebration method!Especially for a person like Ibrahimovic who has never doubted his own strength!

It was only 5 minutes into the game that the opponent quickly counterattacked and advanced a goal. Although this is a rare thing, it is not unacceptable to Real Madrid players. After all, after Hierro left, Makelele turned After the meeting, Real Madrid's defense was indeed much weaker, and it was inevitable to be scored by the opponent, so after the re-kick-off, the Real Madrid players did not take it seriously and continued to attack.

Queiroz's expression was dignified, but it didn't mean he was in a hurry, even though Newcastle's four-five formation was beyond his expectation, even though the opponent scored a beautiful quick counterattack in 5 minutes... But Queiroz Rose still believes that it was just an accident!

**************************************
accident?
Mourinho sneered in his heart. Even though he didn't expect to score a goal in the opening 5 minutes, he knew that this goal was not an accident at all!
Based on the midfield, all players run unremittingly to compress the opponent's attacking space, and lure the opponent to expose a large space and open space in the backcourt. The two main players, Shearer and Robert, who may affect the counterattack speed, are all removed from the main lineup. Take it down, use the younger, more running, faster Dyer and Stewart-what does he want?Isn't it the speed and quality in counterattack?
The frontal defensive ability of Real Madrid's defense is not bad. After all, Elguera and Salgado are also the famous La Liga players who have been the main force of Real Madrid for four or five years. In addition, Casillas, who reacts extremely quickly, faces the opponent with dignity. Real Madrid are not afraid of attacking, but they are afraid of a quick counterattack-Elguera and Salgado are not fast, and Pavon turns slowly. As long as Carlos assists the frontcourt, then Real Madrid's defense will There is not even a speedy player on the field-and Carlos has assisted a lot in the frontcourt. As long as he can seize the second and second chances, is he afraid that he will not be able to score a goal?

The first goal is to fully implement Mourinho's tactical core-fast, agile, one-hit kill!

"Let's attack slowly." Looking at the Real Madrid superstars attacking with the ball on the court, Mourinho sneered in his heart: "You can try to organize slowly in our half with short passes and passing people. It doesn’t matter even if you pass dozens of balls in a row, but we will definitely make it difficult for you to pass the ball every time! And your defense will continue in our wave after wave of counterattacks. Take a hit! God bless you and hope you don't have a big rout!"

On the field, Zidane used a beautiful Marseille turn to avoid the close defense of his national teammate Makelele, and then immediately passed the ball to Figo's feet. Figo's continuous change of direction made Bernard De could only wriggle back and forth with him, and soon Figo passed him. Just as Figo was about to continue advancing on the sidewalk, Stewart had already run back and blocked him. Facing the pincer attack of the two, Fei Ge also had no choice but to pass the ball back to Erguera, who was assisting forward, and Erguera crossed the ball in front of Beckham. Beckham lifted the ball from the backcourt with his right foot and lobbed it into Newcastle's penalty area. Inside, but Lucio immediately jumped up high and grabbed the ball in front of Ronaldo.

"Damn it, why is their defense so tight..." A feeling of helplessness emerged in the hearts of the superstars.
