Chapter 588 Three central defenders, Real Madrid's defense crisis

Chapter 588

[Chelsea attack! 】

[Azar takes the ball! 】

[Azar passed one! 】

[Another one was deducted! 】

【Chance! 】

【Shoot! ! ! ! ! 】

After a huge exclamation in the Bernabéu stadium, there were bursts of applause.

[Azar is in very good condition, this is the third time he has threatened Real Madrid's goal in this game! 】

[And they all hit the goal! 】

[At this time, Courtois must be frightened, shouting at his teammates! 】

[Varane was not concentrating enough during this defense, and he was not decisive enough to grab! 】

[The camera at the scene was also aimed at Ramos in the stands for the first time! 】

[The captain of Real Madrid was unable to participate in the battle due to injury, which did have a certain impact on Real Madrid's defense! 】

[There is also the three-back system arranged by Zidane. From the current point of view, it has not been able to withstand Chelsea's attack! 】

Real Madrid wants to replicate the tactics of the national derby, switching freely between three central defenders and five defenders to balance the offensive and defensive ends.

But after the start of the game, Real Madrid failed to take the initiative in the game as they wished.

Chelsea midfielder Kanter is everywhere, with precise judgment and decisive shoveling, blocking the rhythm of Real Madrid's pass and run.

You can run, Kanter can run more than anyone.

When Real Madrid switched from defense to offense, Kanter was very effective in pressing Kroos, making Real Madrid unable to counterattack quickly.

Because Modric served as a full-back when he switched from defense to offense, he was unable to get in touch with Kroos immediately, which caused a fault in Real Madrid's counterattack.

If the counterattack fails, the pressure in the backcourt suddenly increases. The two sides where Militao and Nacho are located are constantly being suppressed by the opponent.

Varane in the middle has to take the overall situation into consideration, not only to deal with the impact in the middle, but also to make up for the two sides in time. The pressure on his body can be imagined.

This is not over yet.

Due to Mendy's injury, Zidane arranged for Marcelo to start at the left wing back.

If Real Madrid dominates the rhythm of the game, Marcelo can use his offensive advantages to suppress the opponent and use offense instead of defense.

But now Real Madrid has become the oppressed side, which fully exposes Marcelo's defensive shortcomings.

After the attack on the left was not smooth, Chelsea naturally focused on the left guarded by Kroos, Marcelo and Nacho.

Once Kroos's upper grab was missed, Marcelo, who was retracted, was completely exposed in front of Chelsea.

In the 15th minute, Kanter headed up Kroos and forced a breakthrough on the left side of Real Madrid.

Casemiro rushed to defend, causing Real Madrid's formation to tilt to the left.

Kante then passed the ball to Chilwell on the other side.

Running in a wide range and passing the ball calmly, this is Kanter's ability.

However, Chilwell was a little overbearing and wanted to use his speed to eat Modric, but was blocked by the latter in advance and successfully intercepted the ball.

Real Madrid counterattacked, Modric turned to observe after stealing the ball, but was interfered by Chilwell's grab.

The two were entangled on the wing, and Modric, who was more skilled, used a turn to pull the ball, got rid of the defense, and successfully passed the ball forward.

Rossi turned his back to the front and immediately rushed towards Chelsea's defense.

Chelsea's three central defenders retreated in an orderly manner, with the purpose of slowing down Rossi's advancement.

Just then, Kanter came back.

He made a sliding shovel directly from behind and brought Rossi down with the ball.

There was no foul, just a throw-in in the front court. The Bernabéu fans were very dissatisfied with this penalty.

Rossi, who was lying on the turf, suddenly saw a pair of hands stretched out towards him. When he looked up, it was Kanter's simple and honest smile.

The two once fought side by side in Leicester City and won the Premier League championship, and they are very familiar with each other.

Kante stuck to Rossi from the start, but he didn't jump right away.

Because of Rossi's short-distance acceleration and direction change, he has amazing explosive power and coordination.

At the beginning, he went up to the grab, but there were only two results, being passed or getting a card.

Kanter was very smart to use the distance of the field to consume Rossi first, and then to see the timing before he kicked.

"It's okay!"

"It's really difficult to be your opponent."

After a brief exchange, the two returned to their respective positions.

The two 10-minute game surprised Zidane a little.

He failed to achieve the offensive and defensive balance he wanted. Instead, he was constrained by Chelsea's oppression on the left and was unable to counterattack.

Subsequently, he tried to make Benzema retreat to connect the team's counterattack, but the effect was not good.

The reason is that Tuchel tilted the formation to attack Real Madrid on the left.

Once the possession of the ball was changed, Chelsea did not retreat but advanced, aggressively scrambling to destroy Real Madrid's goal.

Continuous high-intensity pressure made Chelsea turn away and scored in the 30th minute.

It was originally a successful steal by Real Madrid on the left, and Cross launched a counterattack.

But the appearance of Kanter interfered with Cross's pass.

The pass was too high, giving Chelsea defense time to react. Rudiger relied on his strong physical fitness to push the ball over Rossi's head.

After receiving the ball, Chilwell saw that Real Madrid's defense was on the premise, and he passed the ball without hesitation, hitting behind the defense.

Hazard, who was ambushing in front, rushed forward immediately and successfully unloaded the ball.

Zidane was very dissatisfied, Hazard is not a striker who breaks through the defense with running positions.

But judging from the defense just now, Varane was seriously delayed, causing Hazard to easily take the ball in the counterattack.

And he then commanded the defense, which was full of loopholes.

First of all, although Hazard got the ball, his position is not good. It is near the left edge of the penalty area and poses little threat to the goal.

The real threat to Chelsea is Pulisic, who outflanks the center.

On the Real Madrid side, Varane returned to defend the middle, and Nacho also recovered protection from the other side. Counting the goalkeeper, Real Madrid had three defensive players at this time.

As a central defender, Zidane gave fellow Varane the right to command the defense, hoping that he could serve as the core of the team's defense in the absence of Ramos.

But in this defense, he exposed his side that was not as good as Ramos.

Facing Chelsea's attack, Varane's first thought was to defend the opponent's pass.

As a result, he occupied the passing route in the middle and let goalkeeper Courtois attack to block Hazard's shooting angle.

As for Nacho, who retreated, he was close to the goal line and cooperated with the goalkeeper to protect the goal.

With this arrangement, even Ramos in the stands was forced to jump up.

Asking the goalkeeper to defend a striker who is good at dribbling is obviously a fatal mistake.

Hazard pulled horizontally continuously, shook Courtois who fell to the ground, and shot directly.

Varane made a second mistake at this time, which was to retreat to the goal line and block the goal with Nacho.

Just imagine how two bodies can block a goal that is 7.32 meters long and 2.44 meters high.

Hazard's shot is powerful and tricky, and at such a close distance, how can Varane and Nacho react.

[GOALLLLLLLLLL! ! 】

[The ball has scored! ! 】

[Chelsea scored a valuable away goal! 】

[Hazard who scored a goal for them! 】

[Real Madrid's state is a bit sluggish, and the tactical arrangements are still open to discussion! 】

[At the same time, Ramos was shown the live footage! 】

[Looking at Ramos' expression, he seems to be saying, if it were me, I would grab the first shot and not give any chance! 】

As Hazard knelt and celebrated on the Bernabeu turf, Rossi went to the sidelines to rehydrate.

"Sir, we must switch to a back four to regain the initiative!"

Rossi took advantage of the drinking time to express his opinion to Zidane.

Qi Zu also noticed that the three central defenders system is a bit awkward, especially when Nacho and Marcelo are on the left, it is easy to have gaps.

If you can't seize the initiative of the game, then the next game will be scored by the opponent.

After thinking briefly, Zidane immediately adjusted and let Carvajal return to the right back, and the left back was guarded by Nacho.

As for Marcelo, Zidane mentioned him in the midfield and changed to a full-back, changing to 4-4-2.

But after such an adjustment, there are also risks.

Carvajal and Nacho, who have returned from injury, can withstand Chelsea's attack.

It is still unknown whether Militao and Varane, who are double central defenders, are capable of playing the ball in the backcourt.

But Real Madrid, which is behind in the score, must change.
