Chapter 619 Strength and Compromise

After holding the ball, this game will be much easier for Real Madrid. After all, they can choose to defend with all their strength in the next time. The defense that has played extremely well all the time still has a high chance of preventing Atletico Madrid, which lacks a main scorer, from scoring goals.

But the advantage of 1 to 0 is really not safe, and there are several players in the opponent's team who are in very good condition. It can be inferred only from the situation in the first half that the two wings of the Galaxy Battleship are still being blocked. The risk of continuing to blow up.Therefore, Li Mudi did not give the order to set up the bus according to normal people's speculation, but somewhat unexpectedly took the lead in using a substitution quota, replacing Vinicius with Couch, maintaining the number of people in the frontcourt.

However, this adjustment did not have much effect. After the re-kick-off, the two sides formed a fierce fight in the midfield area, but the visiting team, which had a certain advantage in terms of physical condition and mental outlook, was still in time. After coming to No. 605 minutes, he became the winner of this hand-to-hand battle and controlled most of the ball.However, Real Madrid's sporadic counterattacks and some positional battles trying to find more breakthroughs in the middle could not put too much pressure on the opponent's goal. If it weren't for the super performance of Endidi and others on the defensive end, the score might have appeared again changed.

After feeling that the conventional strategy would be difficult to get cheap in front of his rivals in the same city, Li Moody took the risk of replacing Ceballos with left back Aaron, and instructed Hrabert, who was originally a right winger, to withdraw. Changed the formation to 4-4-2, strengthened the control over the two sides, and at the cost of sacrificing a lot of offensive power, blocked Atletico Madrid's previous side assault tactics that had worked well, allowing both sides They can only find a way to break the game in the middle.

In this area, the home team has the world's No. [-] midfielder Ndidi in charge. Even if the offensive ability is slightly inferior, but in terms of defense alone, they can still gain the upper hand with great confidence.

The result was realized just like the script designed by the Real Madrid coach. After repeatedly seeking breakthroughs from the side and encountering interceptions, Atletico Madrid can also advance the positions of the two central midfielders at the same time to deal with the Nigerian defender with a large defensive coverage area. The crazy sweep of the waist has led to a significant reduction in the number of people staying in the backcourt.

No. In the 708th minute, Ndidi predicted the visiting team's passing ball in the front court in advance, and interfered with Saul's cross pass with a flying tackle.And Fabas won the fight against the opponent's midfielder Manu Moranes. Although his body lost his balance due to excessive force, he still sent a ball with his right foot before falling to the ground. A more accurate mid-to-long-distance pass helped Couch, who was pulled to the right, get a chance to accelerate forward.

Since the left back had already stepped forward to assist, there was a huge vacancy in Atletico Madrid's left corridor, and Rodri, who was originally guarding the center, had to make up for it.Although Couch's speed and acceleration ability are only on the qualifying line (one 13, one 12), the Spanish international of the visiting team, who is tall and has just passed his 30th birthday, is not very good at this aspect. In the end, the two They met at a distance of about 31 or [-] meters from the bottom line.

But the one who holds the initiative is naturally Couch who is in possession of the ball, and his dribbling skills and flexibility are also excellent in the Iberian Peninsula, which is known for its footwork. After a sudden stride to the ball, Real Madrid's front midfielder took advantage of the time difference to get a chance to play calmly.He directly kicked up his right foot and sent a cross that was extremely fast and not too high from the ground.

At the same time, at the corner in front of the small penalty area of ​​the visiting team, the figures of Pellegri and two Atletico Madrid central defenders have appeared on the trajectory of the ball.With the three entangled and the offensive player almost impossible to complete the work of turning around and shooting, the Italian striker once again showed his genius side, using his tall body to squeeze some room for movement, and then side-to-side to the goal The way to use the right foot to complete a heel knock shot.

The ball passed under the crotch of Javier Montero, who was completely unprepared, and went straight to the bottom corner inside the far post.Under the test of various factors such as distance, ball speed and suddenness, Diogo Costa still did not have the ability to wear his underwear outside. After getting up, the net has already produced wave after wave of ripples due to the force.

Encountering unsolvable world waves twice in a row lost the ball, which seriously hit the morale of the Atletico Madrid players, making them unable to mobilize an offensive that could bring enough threats to the home team's defense in the following time. The score of 2 also became the final result of this Madrid derby.

After abandoning many important players including the two major offensive cores, Real Madrid still gnawed down this hard bone, letting the outside world see that their overall strength has indeed become formidable.Even if the two world waves seem to be related to inexplicable luck, but appearing on Pellegri, who has always been good at scoring all kinds of imaginative goals, will make their opponents on the European front They felt a deeper chill, because no one knew whether this kind of unconventional blow would come to their heads.

However, for Spanish football, what attracts everyone's attention is the question of when those stars will return, just from Li Moody's post-match press conference and Real Madrid's submissions in various competitions in the next two weeks. From the list, people can easily judge that this incident is far from reaching a conclusion. Perhaps a major earthquake will really happen in a super team that had the opportunity to create a new historical record.

On March 3, after a rare midweek without a schedule, the No.1 seventh round of La Liga came as scheduled this weekend.As a result, in a major game, Real Madrid, still playing with a "remnant formation", at the Mestalla Stadium, under the huge crisis of conceding two goals in a row shortly after the opening, relied on the efforts of the team to finally save them. Although the undefeated golden stature in the league and a 20-2 draw interrupted their winning streak again, it also boosted the morale of the team and made everyone realize what the coach said, "No matter what is lacking, No matter who, Real Madrid will always be the most powerful contender for the championship".

Three days later, also lacking many generals, the Galaxy Battleship changed the defensive stance of the previous two games in the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, and completely released its super offensive firepower.Although due to various reasons, the final score was only 2-0, but it can be seen from the statistics that Real Madrid, who played at home, played the most hearty offensive football in more than a month. Players who can't get too much playing time have also recovered their best form through continuous adjustments in actual combat, filling the positions left by some people after their absence.

This also gave the fans more confidence in the upcoming quarter-finals. In the draw ceremony on Friday, the La Liga giants encountered the Bundesliga hegemony Bayern Munich who eliminated them last year. The prospect of promotion expressed concern, but more Meilinger is still very happy to get such a chance of revenge, which verifies from the side that everyone still maintains a certain degree of optimism about the situation of hitting the triple crown at this time.

And the game that almost made the supporters completely forget the core of the two original teams, Asensio and Mbappe, came soon. On the evening of the 8th, the venue of the game was still at the Bernabéu, and the opponent was the Copa del Rey a month later. The final opponent in the final, Sevilla, who is also known as his own nemesis.

Li Mudi's inverted trident trident Pellegri, Solzano and Couch showed their prowess and arranged all the team's goals and assists, especially the young player who had only 27 goals in the opening game. In seconds, he received a header from Pellegri and scored a wonderful volley, which helped the team open the door to victory and opened the curtain of this feast.

In this campaign, the Andalusian team, who was a guest in the capital city, chose the tactics of defensive counterattack. As a result, after suffering such a heavy blow, their mentality fluctuated to a certain extent. Immediately strengthen the formation of a unified mind in these two options of offense.Being seized by Real Madrid was another fat beating, completing a wave of extremely threatening consecutive attacks, and Pellegri scored the second goal of the game through the stunning lion swing in front of the goal in the 6th minute. A goal completely disrupted the visiting team's plan to get a draw.

Sevilla, who fell behind by two goals, also thought about fighting hard to see if they could have a chance to replicate the two consecutive goals that their opponents completed last weekend, but whenever they invested too much force in the frontcourt, Real Madrid's highly targeted counterattack will follow.Due to the fact that there are two centers in this game, the central defenders of the visiting team can only adopt a man-to-man defensive strategy. The pressure is too great when the opponent has both impact and excellent footwork.

Moreover, Couch, who has a very free and flexible position, successfully restrained the positions of the two central midfielders. On the premise that the accuracy of long passes in the backcourt can be guaranteed, the attacking side with a three-on-four attack still has a slight advantage. , This made the Sevilla coach and players feel extremely uncomfortable.

As a result, before the halftime break, Couch's long-range shot completely ended the suspense of the matchup, which surprised the fans who thought it would be a fierce battle.

In the second half, Pellegri scored twice by taking a penalty kick, fixing the score at 4-0, and turning the Bernabéu stadium into a sea of ​​joy this weekend. They were all rejoiced because of this big victory, and put aside the worries that they were still unable to play for many main players two weeks ago.

After the game, many pro-Real Madrid media headed by "Aspen" praised Couch, Fabas and others who had recently gained more playing time and performed very well, especially when Varane suffered minor injuries. , Vallejo was unable to play due to some internal reasons, and the young central defender Zori, who got consecutive starting opportunities, has become another rising star in the outside world by virtue of his steady performance far beyond his age.

At this moment, someone finally couldn't sit still.Before noon on Monday, Li Mudi, who was at the suburban training base to check on the practice status of the last week at Shuangbijia because of the practice of taking a day off after the game, received a call from Vallejo's agent.The man who also came from the Guinness company expressed in a very respectful tone that he hoped to invite the Real Madrid coach to have lunch together, but I believe everyone knows what the real purpose is, but the answer he got was "Let Hesu Smith called me himself."

In the end, the three of them enjoyed a canteen meal together in this remote training ground.During the period, Vallejo expressed his deep apology to his mentor, and stated that he would redouble his efforts in subsequent training and would never let things outside the field affect his game state.

For this central defender who can be said to be brought out by himself, Li Moody still feels very sad about his "betrayal behavior". Because of the relationship, he had to stand on the side of his best friend.Although it created tension between the two major gangs in the team, Vallejo was at best an accomplice.Moreover, he is more focused and hardworking in his daily training, and his failure to enter the squad can be regarded as being implicated by other people.

So after getting the player's sincere guarantee, the Real Madrid coach nodded and agreed to reintroduce him into the normal rotation lineup, but he didn't mention the issue of contract renewal, because everyone knew that Li Mudi had no objection The player conducts normal bargaining with the club for his own benefit. As long as the training and competition are not affected, under normal circumstances he will not come forward to make any demands.

In this way, in the tactical training class on Tuesday afternoon, people saw Vallejo put on the yellow vest that symbolizes the main position.And this scene also became a key hammer to break through the obstacles in the hearts of other players, making the night of the team's big boss extraordinarily busy.

As a result, during Thursday's public training session, journalists flocking from all over the country were pleasantly surprised to get a big piece of news, as all the first-team players, including Asensio and Mbappe, finished with ease. Various tasks, and confirmed in subsequent interviews that they have adjusted their physical condition back to the best level, and the coaching staff also announced that they can participate in the next game.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the actions of these players who disregarded the overall interests of the team and blatantly divided//divided, but considering the overall planning of the club and the upcoming final sprint of the schedule, Li Moody still chose to compromise and accepted their apology .It's just that no one can make accurate predictions about what will happen in the future.
