Soccer Super Marksman

Cui Zhen's thinking is very clear. The team is now implementing Lopetegui's tactical philosophy. Anyway, it is impossible to collectively rebel in the first game.

After all, after the sinking of the Galactic Warship era, Real Madrid actually hopes to find a bright road leading to glory.

What if Lopetegui's tactical philosophy is correct?Is it possible to change Real Madrid's face?

Even the senior elders headed by Modric do not want to be the focus of attacks, taunts, and ridicule from the media.

So everyone is working hard to do the things arranged by the head coach.

But wanting to do well and being able to do well are two different things!

Lopetegui just brought his tactical philosophy to start a revolution at the Bernabeu.But is it teaching students in accordance with their aptitude?Can his football thinking be adapted to local conditions?Only time can give the answer.

It is absolutely impossible for a game to explain anything, and a 10-minute game is even less meaningful for reflection.

Since everyone is working hard, Cui Zhen certainly won't stand out rashly.Since he was besieged in the midfield, it was difficult to form a direct connection with the Trident, so he moved laterally in a wide range in the midfield.

He hopes to form a horizontal interactive corridor in the middle of the midfield with defender Carvajal, midfielder Kroos, Isco, Modric and Marcelo behind him.

Even if he didn't push the offensive forward, in such a lateral movement, there would be many opportunities for Cui Zhen to get rid of the situation of being encircled and suppressed, and he could also display his organizational ability of suddenly shifting the attack.

But the problem arose when Cui Zhen passed the ball to the four horizontal points behind him, and the teammates seemed to be in a hurry to pass the ball to the frontcourt.

It's not that Cui Zhen thinks highly of himself, but this job.The effect of teammates is really unsatisfactory.Just passing the ball formulaically to the frontcourt teammates who can see within their field of vision, but it cannot create a threatening pass that surprised Villarreal's defense as a whole!
This caused Cui Zhen's efforts to become a waste of effort.

Villarreal put an end to Real Madrid's attack with ease, and then they fought back comfortably.

Perhaps Villarreal has repeatedly used the combination of side and center to hit the ribs. Real Madrid's defense is constantly retreating and tightening. The chain reaction is that the midfield defense and even the striker must retreat, maintaining the most basic The three lines are closely integrated without making the overall formation out of line!

"Bakambu shot! Defender Nacho Fernandez's outstretched foot changed the direction of the football, so dangerous! The football flew out of the baseline against the outside of the post! Goalkeeper Keylor Navas made the save in the wrong direction, it's not his fault, Who let defender Nacho Fernandez get in the way?"

Replacing Ramos, whose performance in the warm-up match did not reassure Lopetegui, defender Nacho Fernandez actually only belongs to the stage of Lopetegui's investigation. The focus of Real Madrid's summer signings is on defense. Filling in two defensive midfielders, the back line has recruited the main defender of the World Cup champion, which is already very good, but it is a pity that defense is a stubborn disease of Real Madrid.

After the defensive line in the center and backcourt retreated, Cui Zhen's previous predicament disappeared.

Because Carvajal, Kroos, Isco, and Marcelo's passing vision is no longer enough for them to pass the ball directly to the striker's double stabs.In addition, the retreat position is in a dangerous zone, leaving them less time to think and handle the ball. They will decisively shoot the ball when they see the nearest safe point where they can pass the ball.

Cui Zhen actively runs to become a midfield support point, and the teammates behind him will pass the ball to him when they see him, because he is a player with excellent running ability.

After successfully catching up in the air, Cui Zhen organized an offensive forward, and it was better than before, because he had the space to charge up!

In the 26th minute of the game, Cui Zhen ran from the middle of the midfield to the right. Kroos behind him passed the ball straight to him, and Roberto Soriano, who was defending him beside him, was about to intercept Cui Zhen to the right The line of running ahead, but unexpectedly Cui Zhen responded to the pass and directly knocked the ball back diagonally in the direction of Isco.

Then he suddenly changed his running route. The midfielder Chuka beside him and Bakambu behind him didn't expect Cui Zhen to make such a sudden move.

Isco's vision was very clear.Cui Zhen is running towards the space on the left side of the midfield. It can even be said that it was Cui Zhen who attracted the defensive players that should have been here. However, Cui Zhen occupies a dominant position in the line transfer and rhythm changes. His speed also determines that as long as the opponent can't keep up, he will be thrown away by him.

Isco directly passed the ball back to Cui Zhen, and Cui Zhen directly adjusted his running pace along the rolling direction of the football, waving the ball forward.

Modric quickly followed up with a run in front of him on the left.

When Cui Zhen passed the ball to the front of the penalty area, midfielder Rodri Hernandez moved laterally to defend, alerting Cui Zhen to go directly into the penalty area.

Modric ran into the space between defenders Rukavina and P Torres, and Benzema also ran obliquely to the back of the goal. He took away defenders Victor Ruiz and Jaume Costa.

At this moment, Cui Zhen faced midfielder Rodri Hernandez and passed the ball diagonally.

The person who cuts into the penalty area laterally behind Benzema is Gareth Bale who has both Modric pulling from the other side and Benzema running in front to cover!

Bell is unmarked!Moreover, Villarreal's two central defenders were separated to cooperate with the full-backs to block Modric and Benzema. Gareth Bale got a very good shot angle!
But Gareth Bell shot the ball over the baseline!The ball's deviation from the goal is not too outrageous, but compared to his shooting space and angle, it is obvious that this shot is too bad!
"Gareth Bale missed a great chance! Cui Zhen and Modric, Benzema has created the best space for him to shoot, this ball is better than a penalty, but he is incredible. The shot missed!"

Gareth Bale, who showed obvious signs of recovery in the warm-up match, is considered by the outside world to be an important figure in Real Madrid's striker in the new season, because it is also considered that the coach is Lopetegui, and he needs a direct line!
But Gareth Bale's shot seemed to crush the expectations of the media and fans.

He also couldn't believe it. He stood there and touched his face helplessly, as if he had seen a ghost.

Cui Zhen turned around and left.

Six minutes later, after Cui Zhen attracted many defensive players from Villarreal in the midfield, he suddenly sent a long pass to transfer.

Modric cuts across the center on the left. He is actually a versatile player in the frontcourt, so in many areas of the frontcourt, his performance will not be affected, that is, he has a strong sense of position.

Modric cut across the middle to receive Cui Zhen's pass. With midfielder Rodri Hernandez also stepping up to encircle Cui Zhen, Villarreal's back line was in jeopardy.

Benzema has become a player that Villarreal must focus on. He once again moved to cover for Gareth Bale, and Modric also slid the ball into the ribs of the penalty area.

Gareth Bell arrived quickly and volleyed without stopping the ball!

Football kicked directly into goalkeeper Barbosa's arms
In the "Marca" sports edition published on the morning of the game, in the outlook for the first round of Real Madrid's new season, Gareth Bale's recovery is the focus of all parties' comments. Teji's subordinates can at least be able to make a name for themselves. If they can exceed the value, it is naturally welcome.

But when the game went into 33 minutes, Gareth Bale missed two chances that could not be said to be 100% goals for a striker of his level, but at least should have played a threatening shot, all football reporters who followed the game , I have already thought about how to write player comments in the post-match report, at least Gareth Bale's illusion of recovery is worth writing about so far.

Bernabeu fans also expressed dissatisfaction with Gareth Bale's performance. They may prefer that the team can replace Mayoral to try.

Villarreal has escaped catastrophe one after another, they have stabilized their emotions, and the core midfielder Lava has a fire in his heart. He was absolutely suppressed by Cui Zhen in the Champions League last season, which is something he can't forget.

But he also knew that head-on entanglement with Cui Zhen would not yield good results, and he still understood how much he had.

So he took the initiative to go to the front side to respond, and then create opportunities for his teammates.

In order to avoid being passed by the opponent's ribs, Real Madrid's back line rigidly shrunk the back line, resulting in an almost undefended backcourt outside line, which allowed Villarreal to easily start on the wing. The ball, the wing cross tactics played well.

In the 37th minute of the game, striker Baka received a cross from Lava from the top corner of the penalty area and almost scored with a header. Goalkeeper Navas bravely blocked his determined header with one hand.

Two minutes later, Bakambu suddenly retreated on the front waistline, responded to a cross from midfielder Chuka from the side, and then kicked a cold shot.The goalkeeper Keylor Navas was blocked and did not respond. Fortunately, the football rubbed against the outside of the post and popped out of the bottom line.

In the 40th minute, Cui Zhen had an interaction with Benzema in the frontcourt attack. Benzema passed the ball back to the penalty area of ​​Villarreal. Take a long shot.

The football flew towards Villarreal's goal like a cannonball, and goalkeeper Barbosa made a world-class save, flying the ball over the baseline!
There was a burst of applause from the stands.

From the beginning of the game to the present, Cui Zhen's performance has been watched by the fans, but he didn't actually have such a gorgeous performance.But there will always be a sudden and powerful threat inadvertently.Real Madrid, which has not yet been formed, needs someone in the midfield to stabilize the overall situation. This stability may not make a qualitative leap in Real Madrid's offensive and defensive system, but it can prevent the team from falling apart!

Lopetegui also saw the team's problems on the sidelines, and the tactical expectations fell through!Real Madrid want to fight back at home?

Why?
Villarreal will not attack aggressively at all, how can it give Real Madrid a chance to counterattack?
As a result, Real Madrid did not know how to attack in positional warfare.

If there is no Cui Zhen, the team's offense will be completely unorganized, and most of them will end without a problem.

But even with Cui Zhen trying to control the overall situation, the problem is still very prominent, in the case of not much space.The hard-won opportunity could not be grasped, after Gareth Bell missed two good opportunities.Villarreal's vigilance has grown stronger.

"At the end of the first half, Real Madrid and Villarreal fought 0-0 at the Bernabeu. Through the first half of the game, we found that Real Madrid's defense seems to be a little more stable than before, but it hasn't been leaked yet. state, but their offense does not seem to have improved much compared to before.

The team's offensive thinking is not clear, the frontcourt lacks support points, and the stars almost rely on their own play. Under such circumstances, Real Madrid created several good opportunities, but they were squandered by themselves Now, let's see what adjustments Lopetegui will make during the intermission. What Villarreal lacks in the counterattack is just a finishing touch! "
