Chapter 527 Rossi watching the game, Real Madrid's away game is unfavorable

Athletic Bilbao has a bit of hips at the league level this season. After 33 rounds, they only ranked 10th in the standings and basically missed the qualification for the Europa League.

But if they have reached the final of the Copa del Rey, if they win, they can qualify for the UEFA Europa League group stage in the next season.

To be on the safe side, Athletic Bilbao also wants to compete for the seventh place in the league, which can qualify for the Europa League.

Facing Real Madrid, they did not want to admit defeat so easily.

The Basque Lions are at home, creating tremendous pressure on Real Madrid.

The fierce fighting made the Real Madrid players very uncomfortable.

Zidane believes that if Athletic Bilbao cannot be won, then the Champions League semi-final with Leipzig four days later, the situation is also not optimistic.

Rossi fell into fierce physical confrontation with his opponent many times in this game, which made him consume a lot of energy and his impact on the goal was also weakened.

A draw, for Real Madrid, may be overtaken by Barcelona behind them.

Under the premise that there are not many games left in the league, once they lose their leading position, the situation of winning the championship will be very passive. Real Madrid has to take risks and let the main players continue to fight.

And it was this risky decision that allowed Real Madrid to score a goal and continue to lead the standings.

But the price was that Rossi strained his thigh in a fight.

The main striker is injured, and the opponent is a young Leipzig who uses quick counterattacks and high positions to press. The Spanish media are very worried about the prospect of Real Madrid's visit to the Red Bull Arena.

When the Champions League reaches the semi-finals, there is no definition of who is strong and who is weak.

The fight is the state of the players on both sides, the depth of the bench and the level of the head coach.

Rossi went to Leipzig, Germany with the team. At the airport, he was warmly welcomed by the German fans.

After all, he has played here in Germany for three years, led Bayern to three Champions League finals, and won the cup twice. His influence is huge.

At the airport, I even saw the products that Rossi once endorsed. It can be seen that after he stayed away from German football, he did not let Bundesliga fans forget his past glory.

Pixie also turned down her job and accompanied Rossi in the box at the Red Bull Arena to watch the game.

In Madrid, in addition to training and competitions, Rossi also had to pay attention to the daily affairs of the Bury club, which made him a little overwhelmed.

This is also a rare time for the two of them to spend time together.

After staying with Rosie for a long time, Pixie began to increase the amount of fabric in her daily wear.

But still can't hide her hot curves.

What's even more rare is that Pixie, with light makeup on her face, is so noble and elegant in complexion and temperament.

The nourishment of love is so magical.

Pixie took out the water glass, skillfully unscrewed the lid, put it on the table, poured warm water into it, and drank slowly.

This scene, after being captured by the high-definition camera at the scene, was enough to shock her fans.

"Pixie Lott, a popular singer, is obsessed with oriental health care, and the same water glass is popular all over the world! "

Back to the game.

Nagelsmann, who is also a young marshal, is known as the "Master of Tactics".

His confrontation with Zidane was also a highlight.

Regarding Zidane's coaching ability, the outside world has always had mixed reviews.

It is said that he is good, but sometimes Real Madrid's games are messed up, and they are often counter-killed by the relegation team.

Said he is not good, coached Real Madrid for 4 years, two Champions League trophies, two Club World Cup champions, two European Super Cup champions, two Spanish Super Cup champions and a La Liga champion,

This honor, even if you look at the previous head coaches of Real Madrid, is unmatched.

The media agreed that Real Madrid without Rossi is the real touchstone to test Zidane's ability.

After all, Rossi has two attributes on the field.

+1 man when defending.

+1 person when attacking.

Real Madrid kicked off first.

Between Zidane's two-wing tactics of sending Bell and Vinicius forwards, Nagelsmann adopted "defense the center and let the side go" to form a "strong side" of oppression.

The purpose of doing this is to simply and rudely limit the Qi Fei on the side of Real Madrid.

Even if it fails, Real Madrid can only advance along the sidewalk, the threat is less, and Leipzig has enough time to return to defense.

Under Leipzig's more strategic and holistic forward pressure, Real Madrid's wing attack was paralyzed.

Bale has almost no chance of accelerating the impact forward.

While Leipzig is pressing in the frontcourt, the three central defenders should also press forward in a timely manner to avoid the gap between the back line and the midfield line.

This also restricts Vinicius at the other end to his individual combat capabilities in positional warfare.

In the first half, Real Madrid's offensive performance was mediocre, with only a few shots, they failed to threaten the opponent's goal.

On the contrary, Leipzig seized the opportunity of Real Madrid's forward pressure and played several high-quality counterattacks.

If it weren't for the solid mentality of Real Madrid's defense today, I'm afraid they would have been scored a long time ago.

In the second half of the first half, Zidane was afraid of Leipzig's speed, let the defense line slightly back, and blocked the gap between the midfield line and the back line.

But Leipzig also has a countermeasure, a long pass.

While the 192cm tall center forward Poulsen grabs the first point, Sabitzer, Nkunku and others behind him will immediately advance and take the second point.

Simple and neat passing, excellent off-the-ball running, and frequent cross-running are the direct reasons for Leipzig's efficient counterattack.

Fans who followed this game can see with the naked eye that Leipzig's offensive threat is far greater than that of Real Madrid.

After the intermission, Zidane quickly made adjustments to strengthen the running between players.

Since Leipzig's oppression is not so forward, the oppression starts when the opponent advances 1/4 of the pitch, and Real Madrid begins to use the depth of the pitch to constantly mobilize the opponent's defense.

In the away game, Zidane has a certain psychological advantage, so he is not in a hurry to attack.

Once the wing is blocked, immediately pass the ball back to the safe area, and never take any risks.

This is not that Zidane is timid, but steady.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, the competition is who can be stable and have a small turnover rate.

If you still rely on the eternal three-axes, you can only say that the game has ended early.

Seeing Real Madrid start to hang on, Nagelmans fell into thought.

If you can't score at home and go to the Bernabeu in the second round, you will be quite passive.

If you want to attack Real Madrid's defense, you must add an offensive player.

It would be great if Werner was still in the team.

Unfortunately, he was injured and unable to play.

The adjusted Real Madrid began to gradually take the initiative, threatening more and more offenses.

But Leipzig's defense remains impenetrable.

The 21-year-old Upamecano has outstanding physical fitness, combining strength, jumping, speed and flexibility. With his activeness, Real Madrid's offenses were resolved one by one.

Especially in the 75th minute, Vinicius raided the penalty area and was tackled from behind by Upamecano.

Vinicius wanted a penalty after getting up, but the referee said decisively that it was a clean tackle.

The fans who broadcast the screen also learned through returning to defense that Upamecano's tackle was very clean.

The on-site commentator even praised the young central defender.

"Ro, what do you think?"

From the moment Pamecano tackled the ball just now, Pixie saw the strong fighting spirit in Rossi's eyes.

As a striker, he has the heart to overwhelm all the outstanding central defenders in the world.

Rossi is no exception.

"He is very strong. I think his single defense ability is a nightmare for forwards."

"Including you?"

"Of course, not included!"

As soon as Rossi's words fell, there was a murmur in the stadium.

I saw Upamecano, whose premise was in the midfielder position, used a body change direction to induce, shake off Benzema's press, and send the ball forward.

As a central defender, it is very rare to have such small skills and flexibility.

What's even more rare is that he has a big heart and dares to take the ball in the backcourt as another outlet for the team.

Leipzig also took advantage of this opportunity, and Nkunku dribbled the ball to instigate a counterattack, and made a long pass to find the high point Poulsen.

The latter overwhelmed Varane in the penalty area, hit the goal with a header, knocked on Real Madrid's goal, and helped the team lead.

The Red Bull Arena was boiling instantly.
