Chapter 171 Benzema’s performance
Modric had a trace of regret on his face. The opportunity just now was very rare. If they could break through Lucky's defense, they would be able to threaten the goal.
With Ronaldo's shooting ability, they have a high probability of scoring.
But luckily, Lucky appeared in the most uncomfortable position for them.
Modric didn't know when Lucky arrived, but from here we can also see Lucky's attitude in this game, which was to focus on defense.
This is also the situation Real Madrid least wants to see.
"Kevin hardly moved forward in this game. This was the right choice. Compared to Real Madrid, Arsenal have more initiative. They have no offensive pressure and only need to defend well. Can win the game.
Compared to Arsenal, Real Madrid's offensive pressure is even greater.
At the beginning of the game, after Arsenal's few tentative attacks, there was almost no excessive pressing action.
In most cases, the focus is on stabilizing the game. To put it bluntly, Arsenal only need to slow down the rhythm of the game and prevent Real Madrid from scoring. After the 90 minutes of the game, they can win the game.
But Real Madrid obviously doesn't want to waste time.
"Speed up the tempo and try to pass the ball forward!"
Ronaldo is urging the midfielder, Arsenal has made their attitude clear, and they also need to implement their ideas.
This is a key game related to the Champions League final. Even if Real Madrid has more Champions League titles, they will not be arrogant enough to show off at this time.
Real Madrid are very aware of their current form. For this reason, they are burdened with huge offensive pressure. What they need to do is to defeat Arsenal's defense.
It's hard though!
But they have to do it!
And the foundation of all this comes from Ronaldo.
There is no doubt about Ronaldo's ability. As the player with the most goals on the planet, he is a great shooter from any perspective.
Cristiano Ronaldo is very capable, especially his ability to score goals.
As long as Ronaldo is given a chance to shoot, Ronaldo will be able to seize it.
And Ronaldo's threat is not only in front of the goal, he is also a threat in long shots and free kicks.
Real Madrid began to distribute the ball to Ronaldo, but Ronaldo did not make any breakthroughs, but cooperated with Benzema in the middle.
Real Madrid also used the center's retreat tactic very well.
This mainly comes down to Benzema's ability.
In terms of frontcourt organization, compared to Giroud and Harry Kane, Benzema is a player more suitable for this type of tactics.
Benzema's ability is underestimated.
Since the Real Madrid team is covered by the brilliance of Ronaldo, it is difficult for French stars to have a chance to express themselves. Even if they perform, they will be overshadowed by Ronaldo who is on the same field.
Everyone will be staring at Ronaldo, not the French star.
But even so, Benzema is willing to be a green leaf.
Benzema's team spirit is very good, which is why he was able to get rid of such players in Real Madrid.
After Ronaldo handed the ball to Benzema, Benzema had two options.
During the retreat, he can play a two-on-one with Asensio, and at the same time, he can redirect the ball to Ronaldo.
No matter what happens, he can still make a breakthrough on his own.
In the lightning room, Benzema also quickly processed information and found the best choice.
As soon as Benzema got the ball, Hummels came close.
Hummels is defending and also paying attention to Benzema's distribution.
While taking the ball sideways, Benzema looked up in the direction of Ronaldo, as if he was doing a one-two.
This also caused Hummels to twist his body slightly in the direction of the pass, trying to intercept it.
But the next second, Benzema suddenly kicked back his foot and quickly turned around as if he was about to break through.
Hummels immediately adjusted his body and pulled Benzema's jersey with his hand in a subtle way.
But the next second, Benzema suddenly made an emergency stop and distributed the ball to his side.
Asensio suddenly passed by and strode the ball into the penalty area.
"Asensio! Danger!!"
Before Jimenez could step forward, Asensio fired angrily.
The ball hit Arsenal's goal like a cannonball.
But this shot was too on point.
Martinez made a diving save and put the ball firmly in his arms.
"Don't be fooled by fake moves, hold your position!"
Martinez got up from the ground and reminded Hummels.
Although Hummels reacted quickly, Benzema almost got rid of him.
Benzema also showed a hint of regret.
Lucky looked at Arsenal's penalty area from the side and frowned slightly.
Real Madrid's offensive form began to become richer.
All this is the performance after Benzema's pullback.
Although Real Madrid failed to score a goal with this attack, it created a threatening attack.
This also made Real Madrid's morale pick up a little, and at least their offense started to work.
Lucky also approached Kanter at the right time.
"Focus on Asensio!"
Faced with Lucky's reminder, Kanter pursed his lips and said, "What about Ronaldo?"
Hearing this, Lucai was stunned for a moment.
Yes!
Staring at Asensio, who will limit Ronaldo?
We can't let Monreal challenge Ronaldo alone, right?
Although Ronaldo's passing ability has declined, this is not the extent to which Monreal can guarantee himself.
"Still keeping an eye on Ronaldo!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Lucky decided to restrict Ronaldo, the most threatening player.
In this regard, Kanter also nodded to express his understanding.
On the field, Real Madrid once again pressed hard.
After the first attack worked, they became confident. Modric, while ensuring the passing of the midfield, also distributed the ball to Ronaldo and asked Ronaldo to advance.
But Arsenal can't just focus on Ronaldo, because Benzema's movement is also erratic.
Sometimes deep, sometimes on the right wing, sometimes in the middle.
This guy continues to stir up Arsenal's defense and help Real Madrid attack in series.
"There have been some changes in the form. Benzema has become extremely active in the frontcourt. He constantly drops back to catch the ball and takes on the organization work in the frontcourt. This also makes Arsenal's defense a bit difficult to parry!"
Andy Gray frowned and said.
In recent times, center retreat tactics have been rampant.
Tottenham's Harry Kane, Arsenal's Giroud, Real Madrid's Benzema, and even Liverpool's alternative shield striker Firmino, these players are all beneficiaries of this system.
The center's retracement tactic is also one of the most cumbersome and difficult to target tactics at present.
The center retreats, does the center back follow?
If you don't follow, then you will watch the opponent's center passing the ball wantonly in his own half.
If you follow, then you have to be careful about the opponent's separation or breakthrough.
Moreover, the initiative in choosing sides and breakthroughs lies in the hands of the opponent's center.
It can be said that the opposing center can make countless mistakes.
But as long as our own central defender makes one mistake, the game is over.
Therefore, this tactic extremely tests the ability of the central defender.
Although Hummels and Jimenez are excellent central defenders, Benzema is not ordinary either.
With the help of Cristiano Ronaldo, Asensio, Modric, Kroos and other players, Arsenal's defensive pressure has become even greater.
Just like now, Benzema completes the retracement on the right wing and quickly turns around to go down.
When approaching the penalty area line on the side, Benzema passed the ball through the crotch.
Ronaldo's diagonal run was caught by Jimenez. Jimenez blocked Ronaldo and passed the ball to Monreal who was in charge.
The latter passed to the midfielder, which resolved the crisis.
Arsenal also quickly launched a counterattack, but also failed to shoot and the Real Madrid goalkeeper picked the ball out of the air.
Each side makes an attack.
The pace of the game has also sped up a lot.
But fundamentally speaking, it is Real Madrid's offense that has become more threatening.
And all this is due to Benzema's performance.
Many people in this game thought that Ronaldo would complete the reversal.
But what they didn't expect was that when Ronaldo was looked down upon by Arsenal, Benzema actually led Real Madrid's offense with his excellent performance.
And judging from the current situation, Arsenal cannot be careless in the slightest.
If there is any mistake or accident, Real Madrid will have the possibility of blasting the ball into Arsenal's goal.
