striker cool brother

After the Western Super Cup, Real Madrid double-killed Elche in the Copa del Rey and the league, with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss, ending the devil's schedule in January.

But this is only the first half of the devil's schedule.

In February, with the start of the Club World Cup, the Champions League entered the knockout stage, and the Copa del Rey entered the top 2.

Under the pressure of fighting on four fronts, Real Madrid started the second half of the devil's schedule.

This is also a critical month for Real Madrid to finally achieve results this season.

In the first game in February, the opponent is Athletic Bilbao.

The Basque Lions themselves are a tough and tough team.

Coupled with the fact that they have even defeated Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the league and the Copa del Rey recently, the team's morale is high.

Facing the menacing Bibao, Ancelotti sent Vinicius, Asensio and Rodrigo on the front line.

Except that Benzema was injured and did not enter the squad, Rossi sat directly on the bench.

What do you mean?
Is this looking down on the opponent, or is it just giving up the Copa del Rey?
In the absence of the Zhengyin center as a fulcrum, Real Madrid encountered crazy suppression from the Basque Lions in the away game.

The three midfielders in the ceremony were in the most embarrassing situation during the game.

Advance, cannot attack in series,

Retreat, losing formation protection in depth.

Courtois' high-speed resistance is the most direct manifestation of all the unfavorable factors added together.

Ancelotti originally wanted to use the "no striker formation" to consume the opponent, but under the crazy oppression and suppression of the opponent, it was difficult for Real Madrid to form a cooperation. They made frequent mistakes and were beaten by the opponent instead.

Finally survived the first half and entered the intermission. Real Madrid fans were waiting for Ancelotti's substitution adjustment.

Waiting for Rossi to come off the bench.

Entering the second half, Ancelotti made adjustments to the lineup, and Isco replaced Vinicius to strengthen the control of the midfield.

Rossi also appeared on the edge of the pitch, warming up.

After Isco played, he was able to take the position of false 9, retreated to echo the midfielder, and used the pass to pull down Bibao's rhythm.

Ancelotti made such a choice after careful consideration.

In the first half, the shooting ratio of the two sides was 1:7.

Real Madrid 1, Athletic Bilbao 7.

If the fight continues like this, Real Madrid's defense will definitely not be able to withstand this huge pressure.

That's why Ancelotti thought of using Isco to change the rhythm and let Real Madrid breathe a sigh of relief.

Isco also accomplished the task assigned by Ancelotti excellently. By retreating to take the ball to respond, and organize in series, he regained control of the rhythm little by little.

The rhythm is slowly coming back, it's time to attack.

In Real Madrid's striker configuration today, the teenager Rodrygo is obviously the core of the offense.

But under the dense defense of the opponent's center, Rodrigo will choose to enter the penalty area from the wing and make a foul.

Bi Bao was obviously prepared for it. The defensive players restricted Rodrigo's turn and did not give him the chance to face the goal at all.

At this time, Real Madrid fans need Rossi.

He has been warming up off the court for 15 minutes and it is time to come off the bench.

But Ancelotti gave Camavinga the second substitution.

Do Real Madrid still have to defend?

Many fans can't understand it. Even if you have a stable midfield rhythm, but the strikers don't have the ability to make the final decision, what's the use?

Asensio and Rodrigo are working very hard, but they are not pure shooters, and they don't have enough physical confrontation. How do they play?
No matter how bad it is, go to Mariano.

The two teams continued to stage a strangle in the midfield. Bibao has already won 4 yellow cards in his current position, and Real Madrid has 2 yellow cards.

With the appearance of Ceballos, Real Madrid's idea of ​​strengthening the midfield defense remains unchanged.

Stubborn, so many Real Madrid fans are already shouting, let Rossi play.

As the time passed bit by bit, and overtime was about to be played, Ancelotti still had no plans to make any substitutions.

At this moment, Real Madrid, who wanted to catch a counterattack, made a fatal mistake in cooperation.

When switching from defense to offense, Casemiro wants to pass the ball to Isco, hoping that he will serve as a fulcrum to help the ball out.

But Isco hopes that his teammates will pass the ball behind him, so that he can quickly attack forward.

A mistake in coordination allowed the ball to be intercepted by the opponent and successfully passed to the right rib area of ​​​​the Real Madrid penalty area.

Substitute striker Alex Berenguer caught the ball and dunked Nacho, then kicked and shot past Courtois.

yeah! ! ! ! !
The San Mamés stadium was full of people.

Lore!

Bibao's goal in the 89th minute was almost a lore goal.

Excited, Berengel rushed to the sidelines and lay on the turf, being crushed by the rushing teammates.

Off the court, Ancelotti put his hands on his hips, looking anxious.

This mistake that should not have occurred made his deployment of the entire game come to naught.

Even if Rossi is sent now, it will not help.

As the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Bibao players and staff embraced each other excitedly, cheering for victory.

In the past three games, they have defeated Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid successively, and achieved a proud record.

Ancelotti had a complicated expression, including anger, unwillingness, and more helplessness.

He walked off the court quickly, not wanting to be here at all.

After the game, the Western media launched a fierce attack on Ancelotti's employment.

The media believes that Real Madrid's formation has its own problems.

As the problems emerged in the game, Ancelotti did not give appropriate adjustments.

Instead, he stubbornly believed in his original tactical arrangement, which led to Real Madrid being eliminated from the Copa del Rey.

After the game, the ESPN commentator unceremoniously blamed Ancelotti for Real Madrid's elimination.

Recently, Real Madrid always wait until the end of the game before trying to solve the problem. This is not the attitude that a giant team should have.

Ancelotti's coaching level is beyond doubt.

But the more important the game is, the dislike of substitutions and rotations will often become the key to the outcome of Real Madrid.

Perhaps Ancelotti believes that in the last few minutes of the game, Rossi will not be able to grasp the rhythm of the game because of the lack of time, and his role may not be as good as that of the starters.

But without a center forward, Real Madrid will definitely not be able to defeat the tough Basque Lions.

It may be that Real Madrid's frequent lore before, let Ancelotti take a chance, causing the team to bid farewell to the Copa del Rey in advance due to mistakes.

Some media also said that the Copa del Rey was not a match that Real Madrid must compete for. In the devil's schedule in February, Real Madrid voluntarily gave up the Copa del Rey, which was a sacrifice made for other third-tier events.

Regardless of the remarks, Real Madrid defeated Granada 2-0 in the league three days later and continued to lead the standings.

After this campaign, the Real Madrid team will take a special plane to fly to the United Arab Emirates to participate in the Club World Cup.

With a 1-0 victory over Yadh Crescent and a 2-1 reversal against Palmeiras, Real Madrid won the Club World Cup in the distant United Arab Emirates.

So far, Real Madrid has completed another great defense of the "Five Crowns", which is also a unique existence in world football.

After returning to Madrid, Real Madrid played two non-stop away games.

0:0 draw by Villarreal,

Lost to Paris Saint-Germain 0:1.

The story of the roller coaster has kept the hearts of Real Madrid fans hanging high.

Quick-acting heart-saving pills have become a must-have item for Real Madrid fans watching football.

On the cusp of the media, the president of Real Madrid publicly supported Ancelotti, stabilized the locker room, and prepared for the second round of the Champions League.

In the game against the underdog Alaves, Ancelotti rotated the starting lineup and swept the opponent 4:0.

Real Madrid also relied on this big victory to wait for the challenge of the Champions League upstart Paris Saint-Germain at the Bernabéu Stadium.
