All-around center

After the 17th round, Benzema smiled every day and looked extremely excited.

He feels that his condition is very good, after all, he just scored two goals in the last round.

Moreover, compared with last season, his goals and assists during the same period have improved significantly, which means that he has better integrated into the team and his overall performance has become even better.

This is great news for him.

"boom!!--"

In the training ground, Benzema volleyed hard and penetrated the player Casillas' handle again. Once a person becomes confident, he will play better and better.

The last game really knocked out Benzema's confidence.

"Benzema is getting better and better."

Mourinho looked at the performance on the court and nodded slightly.

"However, the changes in Benzema's statistics are probably due to the opponent shifting their defensive focus towards Suker!" Faria sighed.

There is an unusual atmosphere in La Liga right now.

That is, even if they lose, they will not let Suker and Messi score.

Especially after the Spanish El Clasico in the 16th round, this atmosphere became even more obvious.

Suker and Messi have become a thorn in the side of all teams, and even have an extreme meaning in tactical arrangements.

It is certainly a good thing that Benzema's goal statistics have increased, but this is also the reason why Suker has attracted too much defensive attention for him.

This is not because Benzema's own abilities have greatly improved, but simply because his opponents restricted Suker too extreme.

Like Benzema's first goal.

Di Maria has obviously swept the ball into the small penalty area.

Getafe still has two defenders marking Suker, and only one is barely interfering with Benzema.

This is like letting Benzema score!

And it’s not just Real Madrid, Barcelona has the same problem.

Compared to Suker, their approach to Messi is different.

Su Ke is an extreme type of marking.

Messi was fouled again and again. In Barcelona's 17th round, Messi only scored one goal, but he committed six fouls and three yellow cards.

The Barcelona club also protested angrily, saying that the opponent was kicking people, not playing football.

If this continues, the risk of Messi getting injured is too great.

Fortunately, it will soon be the winter break and I can take some time off.

"Messi plays too quietly, so those guys will take the initiative to find trouble and even commit fouls, but Suker is different." Mourinho narrowed his eyes slightly; "This guy believes in retaliation. If someone tackles him, he will Shovel back, and we still have Pepe, Ramos and Srna!”

"They won't watch Su Ke suffer!"

Mourinho knows very well that these guys just can't stand the goal battle of the century between Suker and Messi.

They were unwilling to be the background, so their mentality was distorted. Even if they lost, they were unwilling to let them score.

Although the head coach will not arrange tactics like this, every player is an individual, so how can it be possible to take care of them all? They all have their own ideas, and it is almost impossible to eliminate them.

Of course, Mourinho believes that this is also the process to the top.

Whether it is Ronaldo, Zidane or others, these iconic players of every era have all encountered this kind of moment in their careers.

It's just that compared to them, Su Ke and Messi's resistance is even more extreme!

However, this is good news for Mourinho.

Because he can use this to expand the offensive efficiency of others.

Of course, there is also a headache.

That is to persuade Su Ke to play the role of bait appropriately.

But will Su Ke really be willing?

Moreover, their conflict had just broken out, and they had finally reached a point of maintaining a balance. At present, they do not want to break this balance.

After all, the Champions League is coming soon, and with the same ultimate goal, those secondary conflicts will be reduced.

In the end, Mourinho gave up this plan.

Mainly because he didn't want any more conflicts to break out at this juncture.

And this time it breaks out, it may really come to a point where the two sides are at odds with each other, and a winner must be decided.

He's not ready yet!

It is still impossible to deal with Suker and Casillas alone.

Therefore, he still wants to take advantage of this season to win the Champions League and further gain honors.

With these things, purchase a large number of players and re-draw the team!

Mourinho originally wanted to instigate the division of the current locker room in order to gain more support, but he still underestimated the wealthy locker room. When differentiation could not be achieved, he could only tear down and rebuild.

And all of this needs to be supported by record results!

After the reconstruction is completed, he will be his own people inside and outside, and have complete control of the locker room. Both Casillas and Suker must obey him well.

At the training ground, Suk and others also gathered together to rest.

“The knockout rounds of the Champions League won’t start until February, but it’s quite strange for the team to advance to the knockout rounds this time!”

Srna said.

The top 16 of the Champions League are Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Marseille, Inter Milan, Basel, Bayern Munich, Lyon, APOEL Moscow, CSKA Moskva, Zenit, Benfica, Napoli, Chelsea, AC Milan, Arsenal and Bayer Lever Kusen.

Surprisingly, Villarreal, Valencia, Manchester United, and Dortmund were all eliminated.

The first two are fine, after all, they do have ups and downs in European competitions.

But the latter two, one is Manchester United, and the other is the Bundesliga No. 1 seed Dortmund!

Srna pays close attention to Dortmund. Whether it is Mandzukic's words or the performance of the opponent, it shows that this is a strong opponent.

However, they seem to be unfit for the climate and their performance in the Champions League group stage is shabby.

Six games, one win, one draw and four losses.

As the Bundesliga No. 1 seed, they were eliminated from the last place in the group and did not even play in the Europa League.

It can be said that Dortmund's performance is shocking.

Previously, the German and European media had been bragging about it, the so-called "super dark horse", "youth storm", etc., but in the end they showed a puzzling performance in the Champions League group stage.

And there is Manchester United!

Manchester United is a strong team in the European war. Ferguson's team is very resilient, and there are also C Ronaldo and Modric and others, but it was eliminated in the group stage for the first time.

Although C Ronaldo saved the team many times, he still couldn't stand the aging Manchester United.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Srna looked at Suk and asked.

Suk; "What's strange? Dortmund are all rookies and have no experience. It's normal!"

In the original time and space, Dortmund's first European war performance was also very poor.

But in the next year, they will shock everyone and rush into the Champions League final.

Dortmund is also the one with the strongest wind in the "youth storm"!

If it weren't for the encounter with Bayern Munich in the final, it would be hard to say.

"But Bayern Munich and Barcelona need to pay the most attention this season!" Srna said.

Barcelona needs no more explanation. It needs to be vigilant in almost every season.

After years of accumulation, Bayern Munich finally ushered in an outbreak.

Although they lost the championship in the league, they increased their investment in the Champions League and are very competitive in the Champions League.

Robben + Ribery on both wings.

Mandzukic, Schweinsteiger, Vukojevic, Muller, Lahm, Neuer and other good players, this is also a team that needs to be very vigilant.

But Suk is more concerned about another team!

Chelsea!

Chelsea is not hot now, and it still looks stumbling all the way.

But in the original time and space, Chelsea will play better and better in the Champions League with superb adjustment ability.

A group of old men suddenly began to explode in the late stage of their careers.

It feels like a dream of returning to the Blues frenzy, and even defeated Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the Champions League and won the Champions League!

So, compared with Barcelona and Bayern Munich, the Blues Chelsea need to be more vigilant.

However, Real Madrid has a great advantage against Chelsea.

That is, Mourinho, the former Chelsea coach, knows this team too well.

Drogba, Lampard, Terry, etc., these are all players trained by Mourinho all the way, and no one is more familiar with these players than him.

What are the advantages and disadvantages!

Mourinho knows everything, so when playing Chelsea, Real Madrid has a natural advantage in intelligence!

Moreover, even if Chelsea has the so-called "iron defense line", it is not self-praise, but it is called the "unsolvable spear" of the century-old problem. Can they really stop it?

These factors combined are why Suker dared to say that he would win the Champions League again.

As long as there is no problem within Real Madrid, which leads to disintegration, they can retain a strong fighting power.

"By the way, when will you go to Switzerland?" Benzema asked enviously.

This year's Golden Ball Award, it is likely that Suker will receive it again.

"After playing 18 rounds of games, I will go directly to Switzerland!" Suker also smiled.

The fourth Golden Ball Award!

Although the winners have not been announced yet, it is basically a done deal. No one can snatch this award from Suker for the honors Suker won last season.

"You have already won the fourth one!" Benzema was still envious.

The Golden Ball Award is the dream of every player.

Getting one is considered a blessing, and Suker is about to win the fourth one.

And with Suker's form, there will be more in the future!

On January 8, the La Liga officially started.

In the 18th round of the league, Real Madrid played against Real Sociedad at home.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Srna, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Khedira, Kaka, Alonso.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Suker.

Real Sociedad (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Bravo.

Defenders: Kadamro, Demidov, Estrada, Gonzalez.

Midfielders: Zurutusa, Elustondo, Aramburu.

Forwards: Griezmann, Bella, Aguirreche.

Real Sociedad is in the middle and lower reaches of the entire La Liga standings. Although it has not entered the relegation zone, it is not safe.

Bella is the top scorer of Real Sociedad, but their forward goal data is similar.

It's not that there are many, but that they are all very few.

Even Griezmann is the same.

In the 17 league games so far, Griezmann has scored 3 goals, Bella has scored 5 goals, and Aguirreche has scored 2 goals.

This is a team with extremely low offensive efficiency.

The three strikers combined, scored 10 goals in 17 rounds.

And Suker alone scored 30 goals, three times their total.

As for Griezmann, he has not yet shown his talent, a silly French boy.

When he enters Atletico Madrid, he will start the "God of Strike Road", which is basically easy to handle.

11 minutes into the game, Real Madrid scored a goal with a shovel shot by Benzema in a counterattack.

Following the last game, Benzema scored again, showing a hot state.

And Real Sociedad's defense against Suker is still so crazy.

Suker ran towards the midfield line, Real Sociedad's full-backs moved up, the back midfielder moved closer, and even Griezmann, as a winger, retreated, forming a three-man double team situation.

"Another three-man double team! Even if he doesn't hold the ball, as long as Suker appears near the ball-holding player, he will encounter strong defensive restrictions!"

Suker glanced and suddenly stopped, and he began to walk instead.

As he continued to retreat to the vicinity of the midfield line, Kaka suddenly made a lob pass with a change of rhythm, passing it to the gap behind the left full-back.

And there, Marcelo rushed forward on the wing, and caught up with the ball while Suker attracted the defense.

The Real Sociedad full-back who was close to Suker also chased back immediately.

Suker saw this scene and suddenly turned around. He began to rush towards the rib area.

At this time, Marcelo suddenly passed the ball diagonally from behind, and the ball fell in front of Suker. Suker stepped forward and directly used his explosive power to pass the entire back line and entered the penalty area.

"Suker!! He entered the penalty area! How should Real Sociedad respond."

Before the commentator Gonzalez finished speaking, Suker directly swung his left foot and volleyed it!

The ball was close to the ground, drilled under the crotch of the central defender who stretched his legs to block, and then drilled into the goalkeeper's crotch.

After passing through two crotches, the ball went into the net!

Swish!

"Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--"

"Suker!! This low shot was so well timed. Real Sociedad's central defender Demidov was too anxious to block it, so Suker seized the opportunity and completed the shot. Demidov's horizontal block just blocked the goalkeeper's field of vision, causing the goalkeeper to be unable to judge the direction of the ball at the first time, causing him to be penetrated!"

"Real Madrid's second goal! Suker has scored 31 goals in the 18th round!"

"Although Real Sociedad defended him extremely, it still couldn't stop Suker's goal! Just like this attack, with the involvement of his teammates, Suker seized the short gap and scored a goal!"

"Real Madrid leads Real Sociedad 2:0!"

The whole audience cheered, and Real Madrid fans burst into violent cheers in the face of Suker's goal.

On the sidelines, Mourinho rubbed his eyebrows.

Even as the head coach of the same team, he was amazed at Suker's performance.

Unlike training, Suker's ability to seize opportunities in a short moment is too strong.

Mourinho thought from another perspective. If there was an opponent like Suker on the other side, he would not know what to do!

When Inter Milan defeated Real Madrid, it was bullying Real Madrid for not having a system.

No matter how strong Suker is, he cannot drag his team to fight against another top team!

And if Suker is given some support, this guy can return the reward several times!

In the second half, Real Madrid launched another counterattack in the 65th minute.

This time it was Suker who initiated the wing sprint.

Before he started on the wing, he used continuous pulling and swiping to make Griezmann dizzy and sit on the ground. When Suker started on the wing, Real Sociedad's wing was destined to be blown up!

Swish swish swish! !

There was the sound of the wind passing by his ears. Suker's feet maintained a relatively stable frequency of dribbling. Although it was not dribbling at full strength, it was still very fast.

At a suitable distance, Suker dribbled towards the ribs.

Just a change of direction, the opponent's full-back couldn't keep up.

Suker continued to sprint for several meters. When he was about to enter the penalty area, Suker suddenly knocked the ball with his left foot and jumped up at the same time.

When Suker jumped, the opponent's central defender shoveled fiercely.

If Suker hadn't jumped, he would have been shoveled to the ground.

The ball was stuffed from the left to the right.

Bale was pressing the defender in the middle, but Benzema ran there inexplicably!

"Huh?"

Benzema was on the right, and there was no one around.

The opponent's goalkeeper stood on the left.

Facing the empty goal, Benzema gently pushed the ball forward!

The ball went into the net!

Real Madrid scored another goal and led Real Sociedad 3:0!

"Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!"

"Karim Benzema! Scored twice in two consecutive games. After entering the second half of the season, he became the best player in the entire Real Madrid."

"Two rounds of games, four goals! Is the French striker about to have his own explosion?"

The commentator Gonzalez shouted loudly.

In the stadium, Marcelo grinned; "Explosion is a fart, all the goals are picked up!"

"But it's amazing that he can pick up the goal!"

Alonso shrugged.

He saw it clearly.

Bale was anxious to score, so he wanted to run towards the middle, hoping to get a chance in a more dangerous place.

But Benzema played a little Buddhist, and when he saw Bale running towards the middle, he ran to the back point on the right.

Then Suker passed the ball to the right.

Of course, there was also a luck factor here, but Benzema ran into the gap himself.

In addition, he had developed a sense of smell in front of the goal during the joint training with Suker.

From time to time, there would be a sudden burst of goals!

Just like now!

Benzema was celebrating fiercely and running all over the field happily.

Bale looked disappointed.

Obviously, the right side was his position, but he ran to the middle greedily, and the opportunity appeared on the right side again.

Suker also scratched his head.

Benzema is indeed a bit lucky!

He passed the ball hastily, so he only felt a rough shadow.

Suker thought it was Bale, but it turned out to be Benzema.

After all, who would have thought that these two people would actually cross their positions!

But it doesn't matter, just win the game!

He also scored a goal and made an assist, and the statistics are pretty good.
