Chapter 401 First Goal?Concede the ball first?
The Bernabéu, Hamburg and Real Madrid were relatively conservative in the opening stage of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. However, Real Madrid, with their strength at home and the outstanding personal ability of their stars, can create a certain threat to Hamburg. Hamburg has more The ground is to use long shots to test Casillas.

Mourinho has always been very patient with the game, which is very helpful for the cup, because the big taboo of the cup is quick success.

The more you want to eat your opponent in one go, the more likely you are to miss Jingzhou carelessly.

In the 7th minute of the game, Real Madrid attacked from the right side of the front court. Di Maria pushed the offensive all the way to the key defensive area of ​​Hamburg. When Matuidi blocked the inside line, Di Maria quickly passed the ball diagonally. Ozil slanted the ball in front of Kante to the left of the penalty area.

C Ronaldo ran inside and kicked the ball into the wall to cooperate with Benzema who took the initiative to respond. C Ronaldo, who ran forward, faced Van Dijk's defense on the left side of the penalty area and shot the ball from a small angle. At the near corner of the goal, Navas hugged the ball next to the left post after playing a steady cross.

After the successful defense, Hamburg immediately launched a fast break. Azpilicueta quickly pulled the side to respond. After taking possession of the ball, he found that Ronaldo was coming to counterattack. He quickly passed the ball straight ahead.

Griezmann responded with his back on the right side of the midfield, turned around after stopping the ball and quickly dribbled forward. Alonso made a gesture to help defend the wing, but Griezmann didn't care about the opponent's defense at all and continued to rush forward. Advance!
Alonso did not rush to the wing, but retreated close to the wing to defend, stifling Griezmann's inside line.

After Coentrao and Alonso formed a zone defense, Griezmann knocked the ball back obliquely to De Bruyne who assisted from behind.

When De Bruyne dribbled forward quickly along the middle, Khedira moved over to prepare for a frontal interception. De Bruyne decisively passed the ball diagonally to the left. Rakitic stepped forward to stop the ball and sent a precise kick. direct pass.

Royce came to the front of Pepe. When the ball stopped, he stopped and pulled the ball and turned to the middle. Pepe immediately went up and Ramos also tightened his defense. Seeing that Royce was double-teamed, he stayed where he was. Then he knocked the ball back diagonally to De Bruyne, who sent the ball over the top without stopping.

Pepe watched the football fly over his head, and when he turned around again, it was Griezmann who quickly advanced and turned offside successfully!

It was too late for Pepe to return to defense, and the audience was surprised by De Bruyne's wonderful pass!

Facing the falling football, Griezmann shook his head and attacked the goal from the right side of the penalty area!

This is a golden opportunity, but the football he pushed out was just halfway through, and Casillas slapped the bottom line with a slap after taking off!

Griezmann took a deep breath after landing, with a calm expression on his face.

Casillas was somewhat dissatisfied with the performance of his defensive teammates.

Pepe looked even more depressed.

"Iker Casillas's wonderful attack resolved the danger! Hamburg created an excellent opportunity through dazzling passes and cuts. It is a pity that Griezmann failed to pass Casillas this time! "

Mourinho's expression is still dignified. When it comes to defensive counterattacks, he believes that Real Madrid is the only one in European football. However, in a relatively conservative game situation, Hamburg's offensive coordination and penetration are definitely the top in European football. Standard!
If the game cannot be carried out according to the situation that Real Madrid is most familiar with, then the game is likely to be a bitter battle!
The only way to change the situation on the field is for Real Madrid to score first!

At least for now.

Mourinho, who played against Situ Yunbing two years ago, has his impression that Situ Yunbing's style is indeed very conservative and utilitarian.

Combined with the fact that Hamburg basically adopts a 442 formation in the Champions League this season, instead of following the 433 in the league, it can be seen that Situ Yunbing is very vigilant in the Champions League.

Real Madrid's offense still seems a bit monotonous.

The premise of a good defensive counterattack is always that there is enough space. If you want to play exquisite coordination in a tight space, you need higher organizational talent and teamwork.

In the 11th minute of the game, Benzema took the initiative to pull the side to the left to respond. Ronaldo was behind him. When Alonso's pass was sent to the bottom line on the left, Benzema protected the ball in front of the bottom line. Azpilicueta, Benzema kicked the ball back and forth flexibly to change direction, then suddenly accelerated and skillfully knocked the ball from the right foot to the left foot, took a step towards the baseline and then swept the ball with the left foot to the penalty area Left flank.

C Ronaldo suddenly started cutting inside and down, and Van Dijk was caught off guard.

C Ronaldo, who caught up with the football, directly swept the ball towards the goal. It feels a bit whimsical that this kind of ball wants to penetrate Navas' ten fingers.

Among other things, Navas basically does not make low-level defensive mistakes.

Navas, who blocked the near corner of the goal, was only a little embarrassed by Ronaldo's sudden kick, but he still blocked the ball out of the baseline with his foot.

Real Madrid's corner kick attack, Boateng leaped high in the penalty area with a header to clear the siege.

Khedira took control of the ball on the outside and sent a short pass to Alonso.

The Spanish midfielder took a long shot from 30 yards from the goal. He had no time to pass the ball. Both Griezmann and Reus had already reached his side.

The football is high above the stands, and this long-range shot poses no threat.

Three minutes later, Royce suddenly passed the ball diagonally behind Khedira from the left when he quickly pushed the ball to attack. Cross-cut to the front right of the penalty area.

When Alonso and Pepe came together to block him, Griezmann shot first!
This ball had the effect of making Real Madrid fans break out in a cold sweat!

I saw the football flying straight to the lower right corner of the goal. At the critical moment, Casillas swooped down and blocked the ball with a single palm!
Cheers from Real Madrid!
"Another threatening shot by Griezmann! Although Hamburg's offensive did not invest many troops today, it was always able to find gaps in Real Madrid's tight defense and create a threat!"

In the past two years, Griezmann's progress has been very obvious. His ball-handling skills are concise, and he can often adjust to the state where he can shoot in a short time by flickering in a small area. In addition, the team is preparing for the game against Real Madrid. In the past two weeks, we have been strengthening long-range shots. Although we did not break the goal with long-range shots after the opening game today, they were enough to put great pressure on Real Madrid's defense!

Real Madrid's defense began to have some negative chain reactions. The goalkeeper thought that there was a flaw in the defense of the back line. How could they always let the opponent shoot from the front of the penalty area?
The back line thinks that the protection given by the midfield line is insufficient!

After 4 minutes, Hamburg's frontcourt offensive died at the feet of Ramos. Ramos boldly stole the ball from Royce's feet, and then Real Madrid launched a fast break.

Di Maria stepped forward to respond quickly from the right, and Ozil quickly passed the ball diagonally to the right after advancing in the middle.

C Ronaldo cut in early and went directly to the middle of the goal. His intention could not be more obvious.

Di Maria made a 45-degree pass from the side, and the football fell directly above Ronaldo's running line!
C Ronaldo, with amazing jumping ability, took off from the right of the penalty spot and overwhelmed Boateng with a header!
At that moment, Hamburg's back line was really powerless and could only look at the ball and sigh!
Seeing that the football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal, at the critical moment, Navas fought hard to block the ball with a single palm!
Boateng quickly headed the ball out of the penalty area.

"C Ronaldo's header almost broke! Keylor Navas made a world-class save!"

The Real Madrid fans at the scene must have been a little disappointed, but the Hamburg fans were a little excited amidst the tension and depression!
This is the Champions League semi-final!

Isn't it normal that Real Madrid have shown a strong quality that can put them under pressure?
Situ Yunbing didn't change his face, let alone Ronaldo almost broke the goal, even if he did, shouldn't it be a surprise?
Not at all!

In this level of confrontation, it is too difficult to keep an opponent clean!
The wonderful thing about the situation is that Hamburg must strive for an away goal when it comes to the away game, and conceding or scoring first will have a huge impact on the situation!
If the ball is lost first, Situ Yunbing will have to change his formation and adopt an aggressive style of play!

Go first, then throw the problem to Mourinho.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Hamburg had a lot of patience in attacking the frontcourt this time. After passing consecutive passes in the midfield, Kanter suddenly assisted and killed the frontcourt. Unfortunately, when he passed the ball to Griezmann, Khedira destroyed the ball. go out!
Seeing that Real Madrid had a chance to counterattack, Ozil didn't notice Demel's attack from behind before he took possession of the ball. Before he touched the ball, Demel took the lead and poked the ball out.

De Bruyne took the lead to run to control the ball, Alonso stepped forward to press, De Bruyne dialed the ball lightly to the center with the outside instep of his right foot, then turned around and went forward from behind Alonso!
Before Khedira pressed again, Kante made a diagonal pass and sent the ball in front of De Bruyne.

Fast break in the frontcourt of Hamburg!

Coentrao immediately assisted in defending the front right of the penalty area, but De Bruyne still passed the ball diagonally to Royce in the middle of the penalty area.

When Royce touched the ball, he changed direction and cut to the front of Pepe. Pepe felt a lot of pressure immediately!

Griezmann moved forward to counter-offside, Pepe immediately retreated to defend, Ramos rushed to press Royce, Coentrao and Khedira also turned to encircle Royce.

Reus crossed the ball diagonally back from the gap and the ball returned to De Bruyne's feet.

At this time, under the eyes of everyone, De Bruyne picked the ball to the left side of the penalty area like a leisurely stroll!

Real Madrid's defense is almost concentrated in the middle of the penalty area and on the right side. At this time, there is an obvious gap in the left rib area. It is obviously too late for Arbeloa to realize it and make up for it!

Rakitic quickly moved forward to face the falling football without making any adjustments and directly knocked the ball across the goal!
Casillas was ready to abandon the door, but turned and ran towards the right post.

When the football was about to slide past the goal, Griezmann flew up and shoveled the ball into Real Madrid's goal before Pepe blocked it!

The Bernabéu was shocked!
