Chapter 646 Volume Five Red Ribery Again

Huge boos erupted from the stands at the Bernabéu, descending from the towering stands onto the pitch, putting enormous pressure on the away fans who were playing here.

In fact, the Bernabéu fans are considered "gentle" compared to the Nou Camp fans. There are not many boos for the visiting team here, except for a few mortal enemies of Real Madrid. Nottingham Forest, which is not a deadly enemy, was booed so much here, mainly because of George Wood.

He had just pushed down Robinho with the ball on a high-speed run.

The Brazilian cyclist was as nimble as a loach, and when Wood was not paying attention, he dribbled the ball past him. Wood, who was stuck behind him, wanted to stop the opponent's attack, and it would definitely not work by conventional means. Behind the tackle and push he chose the latter.

Robinho turned several times on the ground, which looked scary, but was actually not injured at all. It's just that the fans of the home team were very dissatisfied with this scary-looking foul, and what was even more dissatisfied was that the referee only gave a verbal warning and did not draw a card.

The current Brazilian Robinho is much stronger than when he first landed in Real Madrid, and he can also gain the upper hand in most physical confrontations. It is not easy for ordinary defensive players to push him down easily. But he lost his center of gravity as soon as he was pushed by George Wood. It can only be said that the physical strength gap between the two is too obvious...

Defending Robinho is just a temporary replacement. George Wood's target in this game is not the Brazilian kid, but Guti.

After Zidane retired, Real Madrid's offense once fell into chaos. There were no routines or goals at all. It all relied on the individual abilities of the players. If they played well, they could win. The team dares to lose. This situation gradually changed after a season. Because last season's new head coach Schuster gave Guti enough trust to right him up and become Real Madrid's midfield engine.

For more than a season, almost all of Real Madrid's offenses have been organized by Guti. Guti is in good form, Real Madrid will not only have no problem winning, but will also win beautifully. But if Guti fails, then Real Madrid will die ugly...

Don't look at Sneijder's excellent form at the beginning of this season and was praised by others; don't look at Robinho wearing Real Madrid's No. 10 jersey and being called "Pelé's heir"; Very good and strong... In fact, without Guti attacking from behind and controlling the rhythm, this team is like a loose game.

So in response to this situation, Tang En arranged tactics to contain Guti before the game.

George. Wood is of course the main character, but other teammates will also come to help - not to help defend, but to help foul.

Guti is a talented, but unruly and bad-tempered player. His lack of reuse early in his career has a lot to do with his character. It wasn't until Zidane left that he slowly made his way and became the core of Real Madrid's midfielder. But now he is still irritable and easily loses control of his emotions. And once he loses control of his emotions, his level will be greatly reduced, more active mistakes will be made, and then his temper will become more irritable... This will cause Real Madrid's offensive quality to plummet.

Therefore, the forest team's tactics in this game are very simple. On offense, Nottingham Forest played a defensive counterattack, and on defense, they mainly irritated and locked Guti. It's best to irritate him, if you can't irritate, use the advantage of the overall defense to trap him to death, so that he can't take the ball to organize the attack calmly.

Technically, Guti's advantage is that he is good at finding loopholes in the opponent's defense and making unexpected direct passes. His penetrating direct passes have helped the team score many times. However, his weakness is also obvious-thin body and weak confrontation ability. Once the opponent performs a close press and adds some body collision interference, the chance of losing the ball at his feet will greatly increase.

Robinho just now was purely an accident. Originally, Wood was going to guard Guti, but Guti stabbed the football to Robinho first, so Wood had to change his target to the cyclist who was closest to him. He didn't have time to fight with Robinho. After being squeezed to his side, he immediately pushed and pushed Robinho to the ground, ending an attack by Real Madrid.

He adhered to his usual style of making people hate himself-he didn't go up and reach out to grab Robinho as a sign of friendship, but turned and walked away.

Robinho lay on the ground alone for a while, and the referee came up to ask him if he was okay and if he needed a stretcher, and then he stood up slowly. Indeed, he was not injured. This kind of roll looks scary. In fact, it is because of this that he will not suffer too much damage, because the impact force is removed during the roll.

The boos from the stands at the Bernabéu continued until Real Madrid were about to take a free-kick.

Real Madrid is now on the 23rd, Sneijder drove a free kick into the penalty area and asked Pepe to push it out. The football landed at the front of the penalty area, causing a rush of looting.

In the end, van der Vaart brought out the football in the chaos, and he handed it to David Beckham who was responding diagonally ahead.

When Beckham solved the football, there was a burst of applause from the stands. This applause did not come from the stands of the visiting team Nottingham Forest fans, but from the fans of the home team.

These fans thanked him for his efforts to regain the league title for Real Madrid in his final season.

This scene really moved the bystanders. But for Beckham, this has nothing to do with him. He wants to thank the Real Madrid fans for their love, and he has to wait until after the game. Now he's wearing a Nottingham Forest shirt, with the ball at his feet, and his teammates are actively running forward, ready to counter-attack - it's not the time to hold back!

A long pass!

Ruud van Nistelrooy pulls wide and receives the ball, Ribéry is running in at high speed, his sudden attack attracts the attention of the Real Madrid defenders, Diarra is following him and retreating, Cannavaro also puts The attention is on him. Ruud van Nistelrooy passed the ball to his strike partner Eastwood.

Eastwood is outside the penalty area, near the middle, and is temporarily unattended. Because the defensive force was held back by Ribery. He kicked a long shot without hesitation!

The quality of this shot is quite high! Casillas, who was concentrating on defense, soared into the air and held the football out with a single palm. Although he didn't make it, the Bernabéu stadium gasped in shock.

Eastwood exerted force on the spot, without a run-up, relying entirely on his body leaning back and the strength of his waist and abdomen. The shot was sudden. If Casillas was not in good condition, it might be really hard for him to be replaced by someone else to guard the goal. entered...

Compared with the dazzling offensive lineup, Real Madrid's defense is a bit pitiful. In this game, Schuster used Cannavaro and Heinze as central defenders, with Marcelo at left back and Ramos at right back. Among the four, the two full-backs like to attack. The central defender lacks height and struggles to defend against high-altitude balls. In addition, Heinze is not a genuine central defender. He is a cameo when he plays a central defender. The defender is his best position, so it is not difficult to imagine what kind of level he can play in this position...

Real Madrid's defensive problems have not been fundamentally improved, basically it all depends on the state of Cannavaro alone. The former World Footballer is in good shape, and Real Madrid's back line looks decent. If the state is not good... Card No matter how powerful Silas is, he can only accept the humiliation of picking the ball from the net.

In this game, Real Madrid will adopt offensive tactics at their home court. Their defense line will press forward, and there will be a lot of space behind them. The forest team's offensive tactics are very simple, that is, to find a way to hit the opponent's back. Use Beckham's long pass, or Van der Vaart's ball, and the high-speed cutting of the two wings to create and find space. As long as their own players are better at seizing opportunities, it is not impossible to capture the Bernabeu.

※ ※ ※

Nottingham Forest's corner kick was taken, and there was chaos in front of the goal, but no one hit the ball, and Iker Casillas confiscated it directly. Casillas, who got the ball, threw the ball and launched a quick attack, trying to hit Nottingham Forest's counterattack.

He threw the ball to Higuain in front. Higuain was going to catch the ball and turn around, but the football was poked away by George Wood's defense.

Higuain turned around and got rid of Wood, but there was no ball at his feet. Nottingham Forest took advantage of the situation to attack again. Meanwhile, Pepe and Piqué ran back to the backline. Real Madrid's fast break did not start, but instead made the Forest team press in their own half.

Real Madrid's defense is relatively negative. Negative does not mean that they are not working hard. But when defending, they are used to retreating to the penalty area line and then setting up a defensive formation. As a result, their defense lacks depth and is easily penetrated. In fact, this is also a common problem of most La Liga teams. Football style and national characteristics determine that they prefer offense and ignore defense.

The result of their defense now is that Nottingham Forest can pass and run freely outside their 30-meter area, looking for opportunities without pressure. If Real Madrid can't take it anymore and wants to press out to grab it, they pass back, and the compressed formation is gradually pulled back, and after being pulled apart, Real Madrid is pulled out. As long as their formation is stretched, in the eyes of the forest team, there will be a lot of loopholes, and it depends on whether they can grasp it.

Considering the height and air defense capabilities of Real Madrid's back line, Dunn asked the Forest team to focus on high balls in this game and compete for the second spot.

Through his research on Real Madrid, he believes that Real Madrid's players are not too concerned about fighting for the second spot in the defense. Ruud van Nistelrooy does not necessarily have to be the arrow in the offense, he is mainly a bridgehead and a tactical center.

It is quite valuable to have an ability in Van Nistelrooy, and this ability is slowly decreasing for many forwards now.

That is, as a true center forward, Ruud van Nistelrooy can not only score goals by himself, but also his body and technology can ensure that he can control the football in the encirclement, wait for his teammates to support, and then pass the football to the feet of teammates who get the opportunity . When necessary, he can go up to suppress the opponent's entire defense line, or withdraw to tear apart the opponent's defense and create opportunities for his teammates... Simply put, a center like Ruud van Nistelrooy will take the ball with his back, and many forwards now Once you turn your back to the attacking direction, you basically do nothing.

In fact, this is also the difference between "forward" and "center". Eastwood is a striker, and Ruud van Nistelrooy should be a center forward.

Once again Beckham played the ball into the box and Ramos, this time acting as a centre-back, jumped up to push the ball out.

The second landing point was called to the forest team to get it.

Van der Vaart gave the ball to Ribery, Ribery attracted the opponent's attention from the wing, and Gareth Bale stepped in at high speed. Diarra, who ran to the wing to fill his position, hesitated for a moment, and chose to follow Bell to retreat, letting go of the defense against Ribery. Ribery took this opportunity to dribble laterally and shoot with a gesture.

Cannavaro turned to block.

But Ribery just feigned a shot and distributed the football to Van der Vaart in the middle.

Van der Vaart also made a long-range shot, which caused Heinze, a particularly excitable defender, to fall to the ground and shovel.

The football has already rolled to the feet of Beckham on the right.

Turned around and turned back.

As soon as Beckham got the ball, he attracted the attention of two Real Madrid players. Marcelo blocks directly in front of him, while Sneijder protects the middle from the side.

Seeing the ball on the right, Rafinha went forward without hesitation. He attracted Marcelo's attention. As a result, Marcelo followed and retreated, and Sneijder came to make up for it tacitly.

Just as Sneijder came up to steal, Beckham passed the ball. It's not a direct lob pass to the penalty area, but a straight kick!

It was not passed to Rafinha who was on the right side, but passed behind Sneijder—George Wood!

That's right, George Wood decisively inserted into the space and received a pass from Beckham.

"George Wood! He appeared in the half of the Real Madrid defense!"

After receiving the ball, Wood didn't pass the ball, and didn't continue to move forward. He suddenly kicked up and shot vigorously!

The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal like a fired shell.

George Wood seldom shot decisively like this, and Casillas just shot the football hastily, and he didn't rush to the bottom line. Because the ball shot by Wood is a bit out of the way...Maybe he was going to cross but it turned into a shot...

The football was thrown by Iker Casillas, but bounced towards the goal.

This scene shocked countless people in the Bernabéu stands to exclaim.

Ruud van Nistelrooy burst through the crowd and headed in!

The football flew towards the goal, but Ramos, who was flying back, kicked it out in front of the goal line. The football flew outside the penalty area, and Nottingham Forest still got the second landing point. Van der Vaart shoots directly, but it misses. The football scrapes the turf and turns to the left. If there is no one to stop it, the ball will roll out of the bottom line like this, and it will be just a false alarm...

A leg suddenly stretched out from the crowd, and the ball will be firmly intercepted in the future!

"Frank Ribery! He stopped the ball!" exclaimed the commentator.

Casillas's reaction speed was really fast. He jumped up from his hands as soon as he landed, and rushed towards the back corner, intending to show grace to the Forest team's attack.

Franck Ribery, who intercepted the ball, did not hesitate at all, turned around and swung his feet, and pumped the football towards the goal with all his strength on the spot...

Casillas, meanwhile, soars into the air and lunges at the football.

He was half a beat slow...

The ball flew past him before he could reach it, straight into the net!

"The ball went in—"

Accompanied by the narrator's shouts, the Bernabéu suddenly fell silent for a moment.

Only nine minutes and eighteen seconds into the game, Real Madrid's gate fell.

The proud Real Madrid people couldn't accept it for a while.

"This defense sucks!" Schuster, who was sitting on the coach's bench, slapped his hands angrily and complained to the assistant coach beside him. "I needed a centre-back and they brought me a Robben who couldn't play..."

Ribery is celebrating the goal like crazy. Schuster frowned more and more. He thought of the recent rumors. After this season is over, when he still needs a defender, will Mijatovic bring him another Ribery?

The people around Tony Twain were all celebrating the lead, and he was the same, but he quickly put down his raised arms. Because he just turned around and saw the rostrum above the stands. Like Schuster, he thought of the latest rumors. Franck Ribery performed so well in front of the chairman of Real Madrid, will it further stimulate them to poach the wall?

After this season is over, I'm afraid he won't have a vacation to speak of...
