Chapter 70 Top Team
Real Madrid's dressing room.

At this time, the Real Madrid players were not impatient or angry, but took the time to rest.

Because falling behind by one goal in the first half is nothing to Real Madrid players who are used to seeing big winds and waves.

In the two consecutive seasons when they won the Champions League last season and last season, they often entered the locker room with a trailing score in the first half.

But they were never afraid because they were confident and sure they could come back in the second half.

Experts have always said that Real Madrid is prone to distraction and lack of concentration when playing in the league, but in the Champions League, Real Madrid seems to have switched to another form.

But now, in the UEFA Super Cup, it's clear that Real Madrid's players are slow to get into the game because of the first game of the season.

Zidane walked into the locker room without saying much.

After saying a few words, the players were allowed to rest.

In Zidane's view, although Ajax's defense was defended in the first half of this game, they will definitely lose as their physical fitness declines.

After the second half of the game officially started, Real Madrid didn't seem to have changed anything. They still played according to the rhythm of the first half.

Ten Hag knows that the second half of the game is very dangerous, but the score of 1-0 is indeed not safe. If you start defending directly now, there is a high probability that you will not be able to defend.

Ten Hag was hesitating, he wanted to make a substitution, but he looked at the man in hand, there was no need to change the winger, Lin Kedi performed so well and scored a goal.For the right winger, what Ziyech can provide is a breakthrough and the ability to pass the ball. Other right wingers really can't keep up with him.

In the end, Ten Hag directly rejected the idea of ​​​​changing forward players.

He is going to replace De Jong, who started this game, with a defensive midfielder at 60 minutes.

De Jong started this game, and Ten Hag gave him a lot of trust.

In this game, he performed well, but when facing Real Madrid, his performance is not enough.

At this time, De Jong on the field didn't know that he was selected by Ten Hag as the first to be replaced.

He is now concentrating on defense.

In fact, in Ten Hag's double midfielder tactical system, Schone is responsible for defending and connecting the midfield, while De Jong is here to connect the midfield and intercept.

But now De Jong is exhausted just by intercepting this task.

How can there be energy to connect the midfield to pass the ball.

But in She's heart, he himself felt that he was not a very suitable player to be a pure defensive player in the double midfielder.

After all, Schene wore the No. 10 jersey when he debuted. What's more, when he was in the Eredivisie, Ajax, as a giant team in the Eredivisie, didn't need a full-time defensive midfielder when they played against most teams. , the attack is over.

But when it comes to the European competition, Schone will be a single midfielder, but last season was played in the Europa League after all, and his level is limited. In addition, I have to admit that Ajax's Europa League signing is very good. I didn't meet a particularly strong team, so I got through all the way. She didn't feel any dissatisfaction with being a single midfielder, but now with a double midfielder system, the responsibilities are more clear.

And this season is to play the Champions League, the difficulty level is completely different.

So there is already a feeling of resistance in She Xin.

He doesn't want to be a pure defensive midfielder.

He played very hard in this game, but it does not prevent him from not wanting to play a defensive midfielder.

And when the action is very hard and the spirit is not focused, it is easy to miss the ball.

In the 59th minute of the second half, Real Madrid launched a wave of offense.

A very simple push, Casemiro successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Kroos, Kroos dribbled the ball forward and passed it to Modric in the middle.

Van der Beek's defense after Modric took the ball, then strode forward, and De Jong rushed up, trying to intercept this route.

But when Modric changed direction, he passed De Jong.

Next, Shener defends.

But Schöne was not highly concentrated at this time, and his position was on the right side. Modric spotted this position and kicked through, hitting the middle position that Schöne should have defended.

In the frontcourt, Benzema received the ball in an onside position, stood at the top of the arc in the penalty area, and volleyed. Onana struggled to save the ball.

But the position where the ball was saved was on the left side of the penalty area. Marcelo was in that position at this time. Marcelo looked at the ball, and before the ball landed, he volleyed.

The ball is in.

1:1.

"Real Madrid's onslaught finally brought the goal and now it's level, Real Madrid 1-1 Ajax."

"Ajax needs to think of a way now. Real Madrid has been attacking in the second half. If this continues, they will lose the ball. The problem now is that Ajax has no counterattack."

"No way, Ajax's midfielder can't break the ball, so they can't launch a counterattack. If Ajax wants to make personnel changes, they should make changes in the positions of the midfielders' double midfielders."

When Ten Hag saw the ball entering his net, he turned angrily and roared towards the bench.

Then he called assistant coach Mitchell.

"Call Sim back and replace him."

Then, in the 61st minute, the fourth official on the sidelines put up a substitution card.

Sime de Jong came on, Frankie de Jong went off.

When De Jong saw his name on the substitution card, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to stop and trotted off the field.

Ten Hag walked over and patted De Jong on the shoulder.

"You performed very well today, but the team is going to change their style of play now, cheer for the team from the bench."

De Jong nodded, took the clothes handed over by the staff, and clapped with his teammates on the bench one by one.

Suddenly he saw some teammates standing up and looking at the field in panic.

He subconsciously looked back into the arena.

At this time on the court, Benzema single-handedly.

Only Dericht is chasing back behind him.

When Benzema ran to the top of the arc in the penalty area, he kicked directly.

With a burst shot, the ball went into the net again.

Real Madrid scored two goals in 5 minutes and reversed the score.

The moment De Jong saw the ball hit the net, he sat down on the bench.

On the field, it was the Real Madrid players who celebrated.

Standing in the middle circle, Lin Kedi, who was struggling to catch up and stopped when the ball hit the net, lowered his head.

I don't know what I'm thinking.

"Conceding goals in a short period of time is very dangerous for Ajax at this time, because they have to unify their thinking. After the re-kick-off, whether to attack to equalize the score, or to defend first and wait for a counterattack .”

"Yes, the continuous loss of goals in many cases is the disjointedness caused by the team's inconsistency in a short period of time."

"Oh! We saw that Ajax was going to make a substitution again, and Kluivert was standing on the sidelines, oops, Kluivert was a winger—"

The meaning of He Wei's words is very clear, but his words have not yet fallen.

"Oh! Kluivert came on and replaced Dolberg. Link is still on the field!"

Zhang Lu reacted quickly at this time.

"That's the position for Link to play center forward. Kluivert to play winger!"
