[Football] Thorn Birds

In the 2nd minute of the first half, Real Madrid took the lead with a goal.

After the celebration, the game resumed.

Falling behind at the start, Malaga, who are playing at home, are not discouraged. Their overall performance is still very stable. Recio and Fornas continue to launch counterattacks. They continue to promote the team's offense and seize the opponent's space. To create opportunities, Malaga's center Sandro also continued to cruise to the wing, attacking from the space behind Real Madrid's full-backs. For a while, Real Madrid's frontcourt was also stormy.

At this time, the shortcomings of Qi Zu's formation were revealed. The midfield was stretched too wide and the wings were squeezed, which caused problems in the cooperation between the players.

"...I said it before, but judging from the offense of both sides just now, Ronaldo's first scoring goal came from Real Madrid's attack in the midfield area. Kaka's pass just now was very good. , However, it is still obvious that this goal also clearly saw that Real Madrid's midfielders were at a disadvantage, which had a negative impact on their offensive advancement..."

"After the goal, everyone can see that Kaka, who is closer to the striker in this game, has continuously increased the frequency of retreating and receiving the ball. It can be said that Real Madrid's 1-0 lead in Malaga is strong. Being able to fully control the advantage even under counterattacks is due to the changes in the midfield position..."

"Regarding this point, I think Kaka's impromptu handling on the field is quite appropriate."

"That's right, Kaka's position on the field has been withdrawn a lot in the past two years. It's been a long time since I saw him go forward so aggressively."

"Although Kaka is 35 years old, judging from his performance on the court, he is still very good... Speaking of which, the news about Kaka's retirement..."

"I've heard some inside stories, but it's hard to say now..."

…………

: Damn, what are you talking about!

: Really or not, do you really want to withdraw?

:impossible!

: Pirlo didn't retreat yet!

: That's right, Kaka is still playing so well, so what's the point?

: I have a guess, is it Real Madrid...

: The scumbag must have an idea!

: If so, our CP~~

…………

In this singing and chorus commentary, the first half of the game is almost over.

In the 38th minute, Malaga's corner kick, after receiving a pass from Ramirez, Keko headed the goal in the center of the penalty area, and the ball missed the right post.

Navas threw the ball, and Kaka ran to the left to catch the ball and observed the positions of his teammates. At this time, Kroos had moved to the bottom of the diamond-shaped position to look for opportunities. After Kaka observed the blocking position of the opponent in front, He passed the ball back to Kroos, and Kroos initiated a long pass from the rear to connect the sideways, looking for opportunities to score again, and at this time Marcelo and Danilo also began to move forward.

"This inverted triangle pass opened up Malaga's defense."

"Sometimes I have to say that sitting on the team with experienced veterans will indeed bring a relatively good response to the team."

"Yeah, this situation of elongating the front and looking for opportunities to counterattack means that Real Madrid can rely on his 6 players to achieve complete coverage of the width in the large area of ​​​​the central circle."

"Yes, I thought of the position of Real Madrid before."

"Kaka's midfield transfer made up for the lack of formation."

"Haha, that's it~~"

Anyway, they are not commentators who stand in the position of Real Madrid, so naturally they don't have to show mercy to Real Madrid, so they laughed unceremoniously.

Qi Zu, who was standing on the sidelines, didn't know that someone was laughing at him in the live broadcast commentary. He observed his team's performance in the first half, and he naturally discovered the omissions in the team's formation. Regarding Kaka's on-the-spot response, he also Feel a little lucky.

From the bottom of his heart, Qi Zu really wanted to keep Kaka.

But he really has no way to promise to give Kaka a starting position.

In today's Real Madrid, unless Ronaldo is in poor condition, he is the only one who is definitely the main starter.

No one else has the idea that he must be the absolute main force. Even Ramos, who is now the captain, is not sure if he will be able to secure the position of the main force if he loses his form-Real Madrid never Give any sympathy to players who have no status, whether you are the captain or the prince, there is no!

Think about Kaka three years ago, Mr. Golden Ball, he is not in good condition, he is not sitting on the water cooler, waiting for a tiny opportunity.

Therefore, Qi Zu also understood Kaka's thoughts in his heart.

Oh, what a pity!

Mr. Chairman likes Kaka very much, but he prefers players who can bring more benefits and greater reputation to the club!

Thinking of this, Qi Zu couldn't help shaking his head slightly, and looked at the game time. There was still one minute before the end of the first half. He made a gesture to signal the players on the field to slow down and let the time go by.

At the end of the first half, the players quickly evacuated the court and returned to their locker rooms for a halftime break.

In the commentary booth, many commentators began to make various explanations for the first half of the game.

"Judging from the first half of the game, Malaga's formation has been switching back and forth between 4141 and 451. After stealing the ball, they quickly used the cooperation between two or three players to capture Real Madrid's space in the backcourt. Looking for opportunities, and once they cannot form a fast break, they will boldly complete the projection of troops to the front field in positional warfare..."

"In the first half of the league schedule, Juande Ramos, then coach of Malaga, played a set of Real Madrid's 433 formation without a full-time midfielder, offensive delivery relied on crosses from the side, and used Modric's medium and long-distance through balls. In today's game, Real Madrid relied on the midfield linkage mode composed of Kaka, Isco and Modric in the offensive advancement, changing the long transmission to use more Instead of more ground dribbling, Malaga had to give up the previous tactics of making offsides, and instead used more powerful strangulation in the midfield to destroy Real Madrid's transportation line..."

After talking about professional tactics, let’s talk about various gossip and gossip. Of course, the hottest topic recently is naturally the rumor about whether Kaka is really going to retire.

"Kaka should not retire."

"It also depends on Qi Zu's tactics...A player like Kaka is the absolute main force in any team!"

"Isn't Real Madrid's style always like this!"

"No, for so many years, who has seen Real Madrid retain players over the age of 35."

"Hey, who made them Real Madrid!"

"Hehe, yeah, that's Real Madrid!!!"

…………

At this time, in the away dressing room, the Real Madrid players looked more relaxed.

While talking and laughing, Marcelo touched Kaka's side and talked with him in a low voice.

Since the 2014 World Cup, Kaka has regained the praise of Brazilian fans with his courage and strength. After that, Kaka announced his retirement from the national team. Since then, Marcelo has been unable to chat with Kaka again (gossip) The topic of the national team - no way, after that everyone said that Neymar is not a mature national team leader, how can he not lead the national team, even if Neymar led the Olympic team to win the 2016 Olympic Games last year The first football gold medal in Brazil's Olympic history has not been recognized by most fans in the country for his leadership ability. Let's wait until he wins the World Cup.

Hey, who let Kaka be there in front of him, not to mention that Kaka is still playing in Real Madrid, and Real Madrid continues to suppress Barcelona in the league and Champions League results!

So, no comparison, no harm!

Neymar is also a tough kid - Marcelo thought.

"Someone wants to send me a message!"

Marcelo said in a low voice. In fact, he was just looking for something to say. In the past two years, everyone has seen Kaka's attitude clearly. This time, he is determined that he will never return to the national team.

"You're talking nonsense again."

Kaka, who knew Marcelo well, patted his head, "I'll make an announcement after I've said everything, so stop talking nonsense here."

"No way," Marcelo never admitted that he just wanted to gossip, "in private, many people want to ask if you will never return to the national team."

"I'm back."

Kaka smiled, and stroked Marcelo's hair again, "Crazy, don't get involved in such things, didn't you say you wanted to quit the national team before?"

Mentioning this, Marcelo was also furious, "They started to make some changes again, I really don't want to play with them."

Hearing his complaint, Kaka stopped him from muttering, "Don't mention this, the second half of the game is about to start."

"understood."

At this time, Ronaldo, who had already taken care of himself, came over. He pushed Marcelo away and sat beside Kaka.

Marcelo clicked his tongue twice, and went to find his good partner.

Kaka was distracted for a moment. Because of contract issues, Pepe, who had a good relationship with them, had already decided to leave Real Madrid, so he didn't even come to the away game with the team today, including Coentrao, who was in average form. Leave... If I leave now, the only familiar friends beside Ronaldo are Marcelo and Benzema.

However, Kaka looked sideways at Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was dressed in fresh clothes, had a calm expression, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw Kaka's gaze.

"Win the league title and we will defend the Champions League together."

"That's natural."

Ronaldo happily reached out to hold Kaka's hand, "Let's win the championship together!"

On the other end, the funny Marcelo covered his eyes and sighed, and said to Ramos beside him: Why are they so unconscious!

Ramos, who became the captain, nodded calmly (P, pretending), "No, he just treats us like no one is there!"

After the commotion, the staff leaned in from the door, "Get ready!"

The second half of the game begins.

In the second half of the easy side battle, just 5 minutes into the game, Real Madrid scored again.

As soon as the game started, Malaga launched an attack.

However, their two consecutive attacks were intercepted by Real Madrid's defense-no excitement, Real Madrid's scumbag defense actually made a contribution.

Ramos (black line): What do you think of our defenders?

Malaga, who failed in the first two attacks, was caught off guard by Real Madrid, with a long pass, a pass from midfield, and Ronaldo shot.

Although the burst shot was unsuccessful, Real Madrid got a corner kick.

In the 55th minute, Modric took a corner kick. Varane headed forward and sent a beautiful assist. Benzema shot with his right foot in front of the goal line, and the ball rushed into the middle of the opponent's goal.

The ball is in!

Real Madrid leads Malaga by two goals.

The two major strikers made contributions one after another, and Malaga was completely suppressed.

Qi Zu on the sidelines finally showed a smile on his face.

This set of new tactics seems to be used pretty well so far, and there are corresponding solutions to the loopholes that have emerged. For Qi Zu, who is still inexperienced in the position of coach, this is really a change that marks his maturity in tactics.

The same set of tactics, Real Madrid played a completely different style in the previous two games. Although it attaches great importance to this championship battle, after all, Malaga is relatively weak. The core of the ball builds a system with full participation, plus two wings to advance and penetrate channels, and uses running to meet the two sides to connect the formation into a whole. In addition, he has experienced several strong dialogues in the Champions League. For Qi Zu, his The new tactical system has entered maturity.

"Casemiro is great!"

Seeing now, Qi Zu is very satisfied with the performance of Casemiro, whom he has specially pointed out this season.

In order to build Real Madrid's diamond-shaped midfield structure to meet the requirements of the ball possession model in his tactics, Zizou transformed Casemiro, who was a B2B player in Porto, into the core of the delayed midfielder. Caseiromi changed from the previous A kicking wall or pass-and-control coordination node becomes a push point that is truly capable of implementing forward passes to launch an attack. It is used to build a wall in the frontcourt and guide high-position presses, help teammates in the backcourt wing command and let the full-backs Forward penetration - it seems that in this tactic, Kaka's retreat is really not very effective.

The thing is, capable players don't mean they can have a suitable position in a certain tactical system.

It's a pity to let go, but it's a bit wasteful and dishonest to let such a powerful player become a substitute!

Qi Zu sighed.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Zu set his sights on Ronaldo.

Since several of Real Madrid's midfielders have the ability to pass long passes, they completely contain the opponent's defense line in the backcourt, which makes the space between the two lines in the backcourt of the team easy to be withdrawn by the Real Madrid striker who receives the ball used.

After Real Madrid scored the lead, Real Madrid's more threatening sports attacks were sent by the forwards for the last pass. Ronaldo and Benzema can complete short-distance acceleration at this stage, and their transmission between each other is still enough to stir up the opponent's defense. .

Having said that, in addition to the impact of injuries this season, Ronaldo has had a lot more rotations than later, but this has actually increased Ronaldo's scoring efficiency a lot, especially in the final stage. In three games, he scored 9 key goals in just 5 shots.

The Portuguese, who has won consecutive golden goals, gave up his unlimited firepower in the team in the past, and replaced him with his response, passing, running and covering on the field, which increased the scoring efficiency.

In the past, Ronaldo, who lost his temper from time to time and would play as long as he was not injured, is now so mature that it is surprising and surprising.

The news that Kaka will leave the team has been circulated among many high-level and insiders. Qi Zu was worried that Ronaldo would lose his temper because of this. Unexpectedly, Ronaldo has been very calm in the past few days. He has not expressed anything about it. view.

Qi Zu, who was thinking about various problems while watching the game, completely calmed down. The team's performance made him more comfortable on the sidelines. He has a fully mastered coach style, and he has won many Real Madrid fans in the live broadcast. support.

In the end, Real Madrid easily won the coronation match with a score of 2-0.

Of course, at the end of the game, the only thing that made Zidane feel a little dissatisfied was the team's retreat after leading.

Hehe, even Qi Zu could only smile wryly about this defensive issue.

The author has something to say:

PS: I obviously don’t need to write so much, but I ended up talking about so many tactics, sweat~
