v4 Chapter 785： Superstar Battlefield

Real Madrid finally defeated Zurich, Switzerland, 5-2 on the road and won the first victory of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

At the last minute of the stoppage time of the game, Raúl made another move for Real Madrid.

It stands to reason that the victory of the Champions League away, the outside world should be a piece of praise, but in fact the opposite is true, the Spanish media after the game is not satisfied with Real Madrid's performance.

The Spanish public newspaper believes that this is a deceptive victory. The ab newspaper also publicly stated that Real Madrid used a sharp attack to cover up many of its existing problems and weaknesses, which will make Real Madrid exposed in the face of stronger opponents. Fatal weakness.

Without exception, they all aimed at Real Madrid's defense.

From three to zero in the first half, and then to the precarious three to two, Real Madrid played extremely dangerous, and even more incredible is that the two goals conceded only occurred in three minutes.

Once the opponent countered the single-handedly, Casillas was forced to abandon the goal to attack the foul, and the other was a corner kick defense missed.

The Spanish national newspaper also analyzed that Real Madrid ’s defensive weaknesses were not exposed until this game. As early as in the first round of playing La Coruna, although the team defeated its opponents four to zero, the problem on the defensive side was still very Seriously, A Coruña was given multiple opportunities in the game.

Later, whether facing the Spaniards or playing Zurich this time, Real Madrid's problems were very obvious, that is, the team's old problems on the defensive end.

"This can be said to be an old problem that has plagued Real Madrid for nearly a decade!" The National Daily said.

The emperor was immediately reassuring, it should be traced back to two thousand years, or even earlier.

After Bosque took over the fire at that time, he changed Real Madrid's past offensive football and adopted a more secure five-back style.

At the beginning, Bosque's style of play has received tremendous criticism and accusations. Criticisms like conservatism have come to the fore, because it is not allowed to play such conservative football in Real Madrid.

But later, with the steady improvement of the team's performance, especially in the Champions League, Bosque relied on this set of five-back play. He just put Real Madrid into the Champions League final and won the Coopers 3-0 in the final. Led by Valencia.

With this Champions League, Bosque became the most successful firefighter in the history of Real Madrid, and Elgra, who was originally playing in the midfield, was transformed into a central defender after this season. These have become a big story.

But then, Real Madrid began Florentino's galaxy warship era. The front field accumulated superstars, the midfield and backfield became weaker, and the weakness of the back line continued. Even now, it still hasn't. Can be improved.

This time, the five-on-two victory over Zurich was certainly pleasant, but the weakness of the defense exposed behind it was also worrying.

Spain ’s famous ball critic Santiago commented in his column that the five goals on the road are indeed dazzling, but Zurich ’s strength is not outstanding, Benitez still needs to learn from it, Real Madrid Need to become more balanced.

"Balance does not mean to strengthen the defense blindly, but to firmly control the ball and the situation until the most suitable route is found before sending the ball to the area that can create a threat, but this is precisely Real Madrid are doing poorly now. "

Santiago also pointed out that Real Madrid's back line does have problems. Ramos and Pepe have never been able to give confidence. The two central defenders always played more frizzy. Benitez used Metseld in rotation. There are also some problems with Fermalen, which cannot be reassuring.

"We should see that Avelloa and Maxwell are both strong side defenders in Liverpool and Inter Milan. The double back combination of Mascherano and Xavi Alonso has proven themselves in Liverpool. Value. "

"But in Real Madrid, such a defensive configuration is so frightening to play against a team like Zurich, which has to attract enough attention."

Santiago finally said that the reason Real Madrid started so well this season is that the most important thing is the front-field superstar, especially Yang Yang.

"So far, Yang Yang has played three games for Real Madrid, scoring five goals and two assists. Such a transcript is enough to make him stand out from the crowd and look at the entire world football. No second person can take it. This performance. "

"As Real Madrid fans, we are full of confidence in the team ’s offense. We can proudly tell the world that with a top offensive player like Yang Yang, we are confident of breaking any line of defense in the world, but at the same time, we must Note that it is not enough to win by attack. "

As a famous Real Madrid fan, Santiago's column has written the voices of countless Real Madrid fans.

For Yang Yang, they generally gave the highest evaluation, thinking that the transfer fee of 100 million euros was too costly.

But everyone is most worried about defense, for fear that the team's weak defense line will drag on the front Yang Yang.

However, there are also a lot of media helping Benitez explain that Real Madrid's defense has been weak for a long time.

Marca Rosso lists the defensive statistics of Real Madrid in La Liga in recent years. Since Queiroz took over Real Madrid in 2003, the number of goals conceded by Real Madrid in La Liga in these years has been 54, 32 and 40 respectively. , Forty, thirty-six and fifty-two.

Among them, although Real Madrid won the La Liga championship in the 2006-07 season and the 2007-08 season, the Real Madrid coach under Capello coached only 6 goals in the 2006-6 season. Can be ranked fifth, losing to Barcelona with 33 goals, Sevilla with 35 goals, Atletico Madrid with 39 goals and Getafe with 33 goals.

Only in the 2007-2008 season, Real Madrid is considered to have an advantage. Eighty-four La Liga goals ranked first, and thirty-six goals conceded is also the strongest defense.

The purpose of Maca Paolo listing these data is just to tell everyone that Real Madrid ’s weak defense is a long-standing old problem, and the defense is maintained by the system, and it cannot be improved overnight.

"Whether it is Benitez or several defensive players on the team, they have proved their strength in the European League. I believe that as long as they are given more time, they should be able to integrate quickly."
