Chapter 1073 Duzi
"boom!"

This is a tragic match.

"Ah ah ah..."

Sun Wu and Modric screamed and fell to the ground at the same time, and there was a lot of boos in the stands. The fans of both sides thought that the other side was flopping and performing...

The referee Blüch from Germany was expressionless and even put his hands behind his back. He indicated that there was no foul.

Although Manchester United's high-position pressing tactics could not greatly disrupt Real Madrid's midfield, it made it very difficult for Real Madrid's midfield organization. Casemiro rushed to pass under Fletcher's pressure, and Sun Wu and Modric stretched their feet at the same time. It's a five-pointer, and it's really not a foul.

Kanter protected the ball before Kroos and turned around to pass back. Van Dijk boldly took the ball forward... Sun Wu, who was sitting on the ground and clutching his ankle, didn't even get up. The shot ended and this was Manchester United's fourth shot.

"Very interesting positioning." Mourinho continued after pondering for a moment: "Both sides have four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards. Very average."

Mortensen nodded, "Duizi."

"That's right, Duizi." Mourinho said with a smile: "Best's tactical level is really strong. Manchester United's three midfielders completely suppressed Real Madrid..."

Nowadays, among the European giants, no matter whether they are in high-position pressing or against high-position pressing, the vast majority of teams insist on using the formation of four defenders, three midfielders and three forwards, but there are some changes in the details. In the final analysis, the 443 formation can be the most effective. Maximize the use of court space.

So there's this situation on the pitch where Harry Kane is in charge of the two centre-backs, Griezmann is on the left with Carvajal, Salah is on the right with Marcelo and, of course, laterally on the other side. When running, the position may change at any time.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Isco retreated to receive the ball, Paval and Lucas followed closely, and Van Dijk and Alderweireld always defended high to maintain pressure.

So the key lies in the midfield 3vs3. Both Modric and Kroos are first-class midfield stars.

Judging from the situation on the field, Modric retreated relatively deep, and Kroos was slightly forward and close to Ronaldo on the left. They tried to use medium and long passes and short passes to contact the strongest individual in the Real Madrid team. Cristiano Ronaldo.

But the result was not ideal. Sun Wu kept a close eye on Modric, and Kanter, who was very mobile, always kept vigilance on Cross' side.

It is difficult for Kroos to receive the ball without dropping back a lot. Even if he receives the ball, it is difficult for him to get rid of Kante. Sun Wu knows Modric too well and does not give the Croatian midfielder any chance to move forward. , whether it is a breakthrough with the ball or a pass.

All in all, high-position pressing requires tacit understanding, a lot of running, and more tactical arrangements. At least in terms of exchange, Manchester United completely suppressed Real Madrid, which reflects the fine work of Manchester United's coaching staff before the game.

In the 13th minute, Benzema retreated to catch the ball and crossed. Although Modric did not have the familiar figure in his sight, he raised his right foot without hesitation, and aimed the outside of his foot at the incoming ball.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands are ready to start cheering. This is a very important part of Real Madrid's tactics. The right midfielder Modric makes a long pass to find Ronaldo who is sprinting on the left sideline. Although it looks ordinary, Modric The way of passing the ball from the outside of the odd non-stop ball makes this routine very concealed.

But the moment Modric touched the ball with the outside of his right foot, a foot came out.

"boom!"

The ball flew from Modric's feet, but was blocked by that foot before it flew up. Ronaldo, who had already sprinted, stopped helplessly.

Fletcher received the ball obliquely, Griezmann wiped the ball past Pepe and sent a cross, and Salah rubbed a shot on the right side of the penalty area to complete Manchester United's fifth shot.

Modric stared at Sun Wu's back expressionlessly. This friend's familiarity with him was beyond his expectation, and maybe he could change it in another way.

But only 3 minutes later, Modric knew that not only Sun Wu was familiar with him, but the entire Manchester United should be very familiar with him.

When Modric swayed past Sun Wu with the outside of his foot and tried to speed up the spike, Van Dijk suddenly appeared with a shoulder and carried Modric into the air.

Although they got a set kick, Real Madrid's attack ended without a problem.

"Real Madrid can't see any organization in the midfield." Zhan Jun sighed: "Although the scene is much more flat than it was at the beginning, Manchester United still has the advantage."

Zhang Lu: "Real Madrid can hardly see any smooth passing. Modric, Kroos, Benzema, and Isco are all first-class stars. Separated by Manchester United's running and marking, they can only fight on their own and cannot become a whole."

"Now it depends on when Manchester United can score goals." Zhan Jun cheered up, "Physical fitness is limited, Manchester United can't always maintain such a high pressing range, Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, who has not yet played, have personal abilities. Always a threat to United's defence."

In the 19th minute, Carvajal intercepted the ball and made a direct pass. Isco cleverly turned around and wiped Lucas, and made a cross pass to Modric to try to make a 2-to-1 pass, but Van Dijk accurately predicted the interception.

"Beautiful prediction." Mourinho praised: "Van Dijk is really outstanding. While he is tall and has strong jumping ability, he maintains strong mobility. In this regard, he is better than John Terry. Brilliant... oh, Terry can't send such accurate long balls!"

"Very precise... Salah, ha, wonderful stop!" Mortensen's speech speed gradually accelerated, "Cut inside...Best came up, did not pass to Best...Griezmann!"

"Stepping on the ball...Pavar!"

"Paval cross!"

"Harry Kane header!"

"Ooooh, Navas made a fantastic save... and Fletcher crossed... Best... a long shot!"

The ball hit the left post and flew out of the bottom line, causing Manchester United fans behind the goal to hold their heads in regret. This series of attacks was as smooth as mercury, leaving Real Madrid's defense with little resistance, but it was a pity that Keylor Navas and the post rejected Manchester United's goal.

"It's very surprising. Both the opening and the high-position press are surprising, especially in this attack, the entire Real Madrid defense line was played." Mortensen praised vigorously.

In the playback screen, after Salah cut inside, instead of looking for Sun Wu, who was being marked by Casemiro, he crossed the ball diagonally to find Griezmann on the right side of the rib, and the latter turned back to continue the inside cut Salah was running, but suddenly stepped back on the sole of his foot.

Paval, who was inserted at high speed from the outside line, caught the ball and entered the penalty area to pick a pass in the middle. Harry Kane overwhelmed Pepe with a header and Navas scooped the ball with a thrilling single palm. , Fletcher made a direct volley feint and flicked the ball, and Sun Wu, who was inserted in the back row, shot the post from a long distance.

Mourinho observed the playback screen carefully, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly interrupted Mortensen's chattering praise, "I don't know if this is Best's tactical deployment or an accident..."

"what?"

"Griezmann's movement is very interesting." Mourinho touched his chin, "We'll see later..."

　I was rushed out temporarily, secretly writing in the office... so exciting!
