Chapter 1209 Helpless Defense

Facts have proved that when a top coach has a very strong premonition about the upcoming game, their premonition is generally very correct.

After the start of the second half, Real Madrid fans also expected their team to get enough good opportunities, at least to fight for an equalizer in the away game, so that after returning home, there will be many opportunities to win.

However, after the start of the second half, Southampton's advantage began to become more and more obvious.

Southampton took the lead in the offensive from the beginning of the second half.

Vinicius passed the ball to McAllister, McAllister took the ball and passed it into the penalty area, Courtois struck in time and confiscated the ball.

Only 2 minutes later, Marcelo made a mistake in the backcourt. Valverde forced him to make a pass error. After receiving the ball, Soucek went straight into the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Du Yue flicked horizontally, and then shot. The ball was rubbed by Varane who was struggling to block it, slowed down and flew towards the goal, and Courtois flew to press the ball under him.

Real Madrid launched a counterattack, and the ball passed through the midfield to Benzema's feet. Benzema turned around and shot with one foot, intending to hit Martin by surprise, but the ball went above the crossbar.

"Benzema still has fighting spirit." Benelli muttered.

"It's good, let Real Madrid concentrate the offensive at his feet, and we are more relaxed." Ji Ya laughed.

Benzema is indeed an excellent striker, quite comprehensive, but he spit cakes a lot. Although Ronaldo had unlimited firepower when he was in Real Madrid, he also had a lot of pass assists, but many of them were Being spat out by Benzema, everyone said that Benzema was responsible for the blame, but in fact, many times, the blame was indeed his.

His performance this season is still very good, but he is still not Melo's kind of player who can bring a lot of goals whenever he has a chance!

Give him enough chances and he'll spit enough pie.

Sure enough, in the next Real Madrid counterattack, Modric made a long pass to find Benzema, but Soucek intercepted the ball midway.

Concentrating on one person's feet will not only make him tired, but the probability of passing the ball to him will be much higher.

This is the biggest disadvantage of star tactics.

Southampton continued to attack, Kroos shoveled Soucek and received a yellow card.

Ji Ya nodded slightly. Although Real Madrid's midfielders are comprehensive and capable of attacking and defending well, they are actually not dirty. Defense depends on technology and judgment. Now Kroos has started to defend with shovels, which shows that Southampton made The offensive pressure is indeed quite high.

Soon, Real Madrid completed another through pass, this time intending to pass through to Rodrygo. However, when Marcelo made a direct pass, Southampton's defense moved forward in a uniform manner and directly sent Rodrygo To throw in the offside position.

"Southampton also did a good job of defending the opponent's counterattack! Now 15 minutes have passed in the second half, and Southampton's offensive is getting stronger and stronger!"

In the chanting of the commentator, Real Madrid received a yellow card again. This time, Carvajal made a mistake in the return pass, which made Vinicius almost single-handedly. Marcelo, who returned to the defense at high speed, was forced to tackle and brought down Young compatriot, received a yellow card.

The pressure on Real Madrid's defense line, which has been receiving cards continuously, is increasing visible to the naked eye. This is not a good thing.

Zidane made a substitution. Hazard came on and replaced Rodrygo. So far, the Brazilian teenager's performance is relatively average. After all, under the pressure of Southampton's defense, it is difficult for him to perform. This It's better to count on the experienced Hazard to create some opportunities.

However, after Hazard played, he was immediately submerged in Southampton's defense. It is indeed a bit difficult for Hazard to find opportunities in Southampton's defense...

Southampton's offense began to become sharper.

De Bruyne got the ball up front, then he pulled the ball to change direction, dodged a decisive shot from an angle, and Courtois flew to save the ball.

One minute later, McAllister transferred a long pass from the backcourt. After receiving the ball, Valverde dodged the shot angle horizontally, then kicked the shot, and was saved by Courtois again.

Vinicius broke through from the wing and then passed the ball into the penalty area. Du Yue rushed forward, but let the ball pass. Valverde made a flying shovel shot from the back, but Courtois flew the ball out!

"Courtois! It's Courtois again! Now the entire Real Madrid can only rely on his saves to support it! I have to say that under such circumstances, only Courtois is the most reliable..."

Amid the commentator's shouts, Courtois wiped his sweat. Although he made continuous saves during this period, he was under a lot of pressure. Southampton's offensive became more and more fierce. It took only three or four minutes before There was a good offensive opportunity, but now it takes one or two minutes to have a good offensive opportunity. Under such circumstances, even if I perform well, I may not be able to withstand it.

Ji Ya looked at his watch, it was now the No. 605 minute of the game, Real Madrid had resisted Southampton's attack for 10 minutes, and there were only 25 minutes left before the end of the game.

"These guys are still very tenacious in defense, but if they really want to score goals, it's just a few minutes."

Ji Ya silently thought in his heart that he wasn't too worried about Real Madrid's defensive problems. Southampton was constantly creating opportunities, and the reason they didn't score was because Courtois performed so well. Under the circumstances, all Southampton needs is to seize the opportunity.

Moreover, during this period of time, players such as De Bruyne, Vinicius, Valverde, and McAllister have been threatening. Du Yue has been running and waiting for opportunities. This is the key.

While Real Madrid's defense was distracted by the activity of others, Du Yue was waiting for a better opportunity.

This is also his characteristic, he can take the opportunity to attack, or hide it, and then kill with one blow!

This is also the reason why it is difficult to mark him, because this striker is very arrogant when he wants to be arrogant, and he is very low-key when he wants to be low-key. He can control him very well, but in a team like Southampton with a variety of offensive players, he can do more with ease. It is useless for you to just mark him.

When other people perform well, it is impossible not to mark other people, because when you do not mark, others may score a goal, and when you mark others, you must always notice that there is another Du Yue in the shadows Eyeing.

This is the most helpless thing, and the current Real Madrid defense is also so helpless.
