Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Eight Data that Cannot Reflect the Situation
Notts County's two consecutive counterattacks made Real Madrid a little timid and did not dare to attack with all their strength.
Once Robben cut in from the right and shot slightly wide of the post, and once Ribery crossed the penalty area on the left, Villa's shot was touched by San Cassi and hit the crossbar.
The routines of the two fast breaks were similar. They were all attacked from the flank after the midfielder succeeded. Real Madrid could not limit the performance of Robben and Ribery at all.
Seeing that the situation is not good, Lusenberg can only let Carlos and Samuel retreat and take care of the defense, and even focus on marking Robben and Ribery. He does not want Real Madrid to lose the ball early. If the rhythm is followed just now , Real Madrid may lose the ball sooner or later.
After this adjustment, Robben and Ribery did not have so much room to move on the flanks, but as a result, Real Madrid's offensive power also declined. Without the support of Carlos and Samuel, Figo on the right lacks wing support and it is difficult to continuously create threats. In order to avoid a gap on the left, Zidane can only be fixed on the left, and the attack seems to have suddenly entered a stagnant state.
No matter how terrifying a superstar is, he is only a human being, not a god. It is impossible to have the ability to control the ball to fly into the opponent's goal with his mind, otherwise it will be a fantasy world.
Now many of Real Madrid's superstars are caught in the quagmire arranged by Notts County, making Real Madrid in a dilemma.
One side wants to suppress Notts County through offense, but it can't do it while taking into account the defense. This makes Real Madrid extremely embarrassed. Can they only fight against Notts County step by step?
That's definitely not a scene that Real Madrid likes, because Real Madrid's physical fitness can never be compared with Notts County. First, the average age of the team is high, but Real Madrid's pre-season preparations are extremely unsatisfactory, so economical victory is the only way to win. What Real Madrid wants most is not to fight with opponents for consumption, and the result is likely to be unpredictable.
In fact, for Notts County, playing against Real Madrid has long been the scene they expected, because even if Real Madrid is stronger, it is impossible to suppress Notts County as a whole, and Notts County's fast break also makes Real Madrid can't put all their energy into the attack, and Real Madrid, which is full of superstars, is unlikely to put down the face to fight back on defense, so the situation is bound to occur.
Based on the defense, and fighting against Real Madrid in the offense, Real Madrid may have a slight advantage in the first half, but the second half may be the world of Notts County.
Of course, away goals are also a very important factor in the two rounds of home and away matches. Notts County, which has an unfavorable home schedule after a first trip, is better off keeping a clean sheet from Real Madrid, even if the result is that they don’t score a goal.
This is a relatively well-understood phenomenon.
Often in home and away games, the home team will play a little conservative, while the visiting team is more aggressive, which is the factor of away goals.
When the two sides showed their true skills, the game inevitably entered a confrontational situation. Even if Real Madrid was helpless, the game must continue.
For fans and spectators, confrontation is obviously the most exciting game process. If a team is determined to defend and counterattack, what else is there to watch. Now Real Madrid and Notts County are fighting against each other, which also makes this The pinnacle matchup is worthy of its name.
Don't watch the match between Manchester United and AC Milan, the match between Chelsea and Barcelona, it sounds like Mars hitting the earth, but in fact, the level of excitement may not be satisfactory. In the final analysis, everything is a matter of interest.
The difference between Real Madrid and Notts County in terms of tactics is still very big. The core of Real Madrid's play is Zidane, and his range of activities is between the center line and Notts County's penalty area, that is, Real Madrid's frontcourt, and here It is also often the focus of Notts County's defense, and with the constant harassment of the little brother, Zidane can't play his ability at all.
And Notts County's core playmaker is Alonso. His activity area is roughly around the middle circle, maybe even further back, that is, Notts County's backcourt. As a result, he will not face Real Madrid. Forcing, you can organize the attack calmly, Ronaldo, the slacker, will not care which direction Alonso shoots the ball!
The two different styles of play also resulted in two relatively different offensive situations. Real Madrid often attacked very nicely, and they continued to control the ball in the frontcourt, giving people a tendency to overwhelm Taishan, but they often hit dangerous areas when they attacked. At the time, it has been resolved by Notts County's defense.
As for Notts County, it seems that they are more in possession of the ball in the midfield and the backcourt, and the offense is procrastinating, which is simply wasting time. But once there is a gap in Real Madrid's defense, Notts County's offense will be able to hit that position immediately, concise and simple. The passing of Real Madrid's defense often can only be an afterthought, which can often pose a threat to Real Madrid's goal.
In the confrontation between the two sides, 30 minutes have passed in the first half. As for who has the advantage, the real-time statistics can explain everything very well.
Real Madrid's Notts County has the same ball possession rate, the passing data is also evenly matched, and the number of shots is also almost the same. However, in terms of the number of shots on target, Notts County beat Real Madrid 1 time with 5 times. The factor that caused this result is because Notts County's offense has hit the threat area, while Real Madrid is more aware of hasty shots under the pressure of Notts County.
What surprised everyone was that Real Madrid led the way with 26 times in the 30-meter area of the frontcourt, and Notts County only 10 times.
No way, who made Zidane's activity organization area nearby, stepping forward is equivalent to entering this dangerous area, that is to say, every attack of Real Madrid can be counted as a data .
Whoever has the upper hand in such a game, perhaps the party without the data watching the game will think that Real Madrid has steadily controlled Notts County, so many times into the 30-meter dangerous area, it is simply a statistic against the sky, no goal is really true. I can only say that Notts County has a good tone.
But fans who have watched the game may not have this idea. With Zidane as a super midfielder, if Real Madrid can't gain the upper hand in this statistic, then I'm afraid Real Madrid has already been suppressed by the opponent. situation.
I don’t know if he was dissatisfied with this situation. Seeing that the first half time was running out, Lusenberg directly signaled the players on the field to change their attacking modes. County is helpless, because even if Notts County wants to fight back, I am afraid there is not much time for them to do it.
Then, Real Madrid played another wave of threats before the end of the first half. (To be continued.)
