Chapter 891 Swinging Left and Right (Second Update, Please Subscribe!)
The third round of the 2011/2012 Champions League group stage, Real Madrid vs. Lyon.
In the second round, Real Madrid defeated Ajax at home.
Ajax is a veteran giant, but it has now become a star-making factory. Of course, its reputation is stronger than Dinamo Zagreb.
However, this batch of Ajax youngsters did not perform too well.
However, Suker also admires Ajax very much.
Selling players every year, playing in the Champions League every year!
If the performance is poor, then sell less!
If the performance is good, then sell more!
It can be said that Ajax is definitely the focus team of the entire European giants.
Whenever the Ajax supermarket opens, a large number of European giants wave checks and start to "shop" crazily.
Just like Ajax sold Ibrahimovic and others in the 2003/2004 season.
As a famous European youth army, their performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but Ajax's ability and attitude to cultivate young players cannot be doubted.
But compared to Ajax, Lyon has been going downhill in recent years.
As the former French Ligue 1 overlord, they have created a brilliant record of seven consecutive championships.
But with Marseille taking away the championship in the 2009/2010 season, they were pulled behind by Lille in points last season and missed the championship.
And this season, so far, Lyon has been suppressed by Paris Saint-Germain and Mondlier.
As the former French Ligue 1 overlord, their dominance in the league is suffering from serious damage.
For Lyon, they want to ensure the dominance of the league, but at the same time they don’t want to give up the Champions League.
In a dilemma, they choose to fight on two fronts, and their combat effectiveness is dispersed, so naturally they can’t show too good performance.
October 10, France, Lyon, Gerland Stadium.
"This is the third round of the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League group stage, Lyon vs. Real Madrid!"
"The Gerland Lions have won one and tied one in the past two rounds, and are currently in second place in the group. In this game, they will face the group leader, Real Madrid, which has won two consecutive games!"
"This is definitely the strongest opponent Lyon is facing now. As the defending champion of the Champions League and the team that won the treble last season, Mourinho's Real Madrid still showed amazing fighting power this season!"
"And as the team's top star, Suker has scored a terrifying 14 goals in seven rounds in the league, and four goals in two rounds of the Champions League group stage!"
"Faced with such a terrifying and efficient shooter, how should Lyon respond?"
As the French commentator was explaining, the players of both sides began to walk out of the player tunnel.
The starting lineup is as follows:
Lyon (4-4-2);
Goalkeeper: Lori.
Defenders: Revie, Dabo, Lovren, Chris
Midfielders: Gonalon, Gourcuff, Edesson, Kjærström.
Forwards: Brian, Gommi.
Real Madrid (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Defenders: Srna, Ramos, Pepe, Coentrao.
Midfielders: Khedira, Alonso, Kaka.
Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Suker.
"Pay attention to Suker! Pay attention to Suker! Don't let him get the ball comfortably!"
Lyon coach Remi Gareth kept yelling.
Mourinho tilted his head and picked his ears.
What he hated most was this kind of ambiguous tactical command!
Pay attention to someone!
Restrict someone!
Speaking so generally, who wouldn't say this?
Insufficiently detailed tactical command will only make the scene more chaotic.
However, Mourinho also understood the other party a little.
After all, he needed to deal with Suker.
After coaching Suker, Mourinho felt that he looked down on other forwards.
There is no doubt that Suker is definitely the strongest striker he has coached so far.
Whether in Porto, Chelsea or Inter Milan, he has never encountered a striker like Suker.
Although Drogba is also very strong, he is not of the same type as Suker. Looking at the data and other performances, Suker is also more gorgeous.
Previously, many people said that Suker could not play in the Premier League.
However, Mourinho does not think so. Is Suker's confrontation ability poor?
The rhythm confrontation in the Premier League is very strong, and the data brushing is less than that in La Liga.
But this does not mean that Suker cannot play in the Premier League.
It doesn't matter which league Suker played in when he landed in the top five leagues. How could he not play in the Premier League?
Mourinho's thinking is scattered, mainly because the pressure of this game is not great.
Lyon and Real Madrid are no longer the teams they used to be.
The days when Lyon suppressed Real Madrid have disappeared in time.
Now Real Madrid can really rub Lyon repeatedly.
In the court, Suker stepped on the ball and waited for the kick-off.
In Lyon's half, the players were ready to face a formidable enemy.
As the whistle sounded.
Suk immediately kicked off.
"The game started, and after Suk kicked off, Real Madrid immediately went on the offensive."
"Real Madrid's attack is still along the wing, and the left wing is their most powerful offensive wing, but the boys of Lyon also need to be wary of Bale on the right wing, this supercar from Wales, his speed is extremely fast!"
Suker was waiting for the ball in the front court.
When he pulled to the side, Kaka passed the ball to Suker.
Suker stopped the ball and tried to start the ball, but the opponent didn't fall for it.
Suker didn't rush forward immediately, but passed it back to Kaka.
Kaka made a roundabout transfer. He ran horizontally in the middle, served as a receiving point, and smoothly transferred the ball to the right.
Bale would not try like Suker.
This guy's footwork was not good enough, so he would choose a simple and direct attack method.
Bale dribbled the ball directly to the side, trying to use speed to eat the opponent.
At the moment when the two were running, Bale suddenly stopped and started again.
Stop and move, pulling out half a body.
Bale swept the ball towards the goal.
Bang!
Benzema immediately followed up with a shovel shot, and the ball hit the opponent's goalkeeper's chest and flew into the air. The goalkeeper hurriedly got up and grabbed the ball in his arms before Suker made a supplementary shot.
"Good shot!"
Benzema immediately gave Bale a thumbs up.
Bale also nodded and quickly retreated.
It is not difficult to see from his performance that Bale has a strong desire to attack.
Since joining Real Madrid, Bale has also undergone many changes.
Perhaps under the stimulation of the championship and teammates, he began to work harder and more decisively in handling the ball.
Bale has understood that this is not Tottenham.
Real Madrid is not a team where he cannot win if he loses his voice.
It can be said that here, except Suker, everyone else has a role to play.
And during this period of exploration, Bale also understood the role he needs to play.
Wing attacker!
Of course, he still has a faint desire to move closer to the middle.
But first of all, the middle belongs to Suker.
Secondly, with his current ability, even if he moves to the middle, he cannot bring a positive effect to the team.
Therefore, at this stage, he can only be honest in the wing.
Just as Suker said, he honestly plays as an assistant to Suker.
One day in the future, if Suker's state declines or his performance is bad, he may have a chance to move up.
Suker also looked at Bale.
He also saw Bale's recent transformation.
He even knew what Bale was thinking.
After all, Benzema also went through such a process.
But in the end, they will all be willing to play auxiliary for themselves.
In the original time and space, Bale's tendency to move up was largely based on Florentino.
After all, Florentino did not regard Ronaldo as his own.
If possible, why not support Bale, who he signed, but let the players signed by Calderon be the core?
For this reason, when Bale performed well, Bale was able to get more support, and Florentino's support was definitely there.
However, in today's Real Madrid, Suker transferred during Florentino's term, so there were fewer troubles, and he also received Florentino's iron support.
It can be said that as long as Suker's state does not suddenly decline, or he points at Florentino and swears, as long as this situation does not occur, his position will be guaranteed!
This is also the reason why Mourinho is unwilling to touch Suker, even though he is the captain of the Spanish team, Casillas.
First, Suker's performance is enhanced.
Second, if Suker is touched, Florentino will really explode!
"Bale played really well!"
Faria exclaimed.
Since the start of the game, the right wing has become the main attacking wing without Suker's strength.
Bale constantly interferes with Lyon's defense with his speed, and every counterattack can make Lyon sweat.
However, Benzema is a little worse in the ability to seize opportunities.
Bale was unable to find Suker directly and failed to open the situation immediately.
Mourinho also nodded slightly; "After he found his position, the overall performance has improved a little, but this is not his limit!"
Mourinho likes speed players like Bale.
This type of player can play a good role in counterattacks and play a good role.
If it were before, Mourinho would be ecstatic.
However, after seeing Suker's performance, Mourinho's taste has also been spoiled.
He really doesn't like ordinary forwards.
It can't be said that Bale's performance is bad, but it is definitely not comparable to Suker.
"It's time for him to exert his strength, right?"
Mourinho turned his head and looked to the left.
I saw that Suker had quietly started to improve his position.
Before, Suker was double-teamed by three people on the left wing, and he was not very comfortable.
For this reason, Suker slightly slowed down the attack, and Real Madrid changed to play on the right wing.
In this way, Lyon's defense was involved.
They had to ensure that Suker was restricted and defend Bale at the same time.
But under the repeated attacks on the right wing, they had to put more defensive forces into the right wing.
And Suker began to thaw gradually.
Kaka also noticed this scene.
Kaka can always find Suker's position on the court.
He judges Suker's running position faster than anyone else, which is also a factor in Suker's outstanding performance.
"Pass back!"
Kaka saw that Suker had appeared in the danger zone and immediately called for a pass.
Bell immediately passed it back.
Kaka was in the rib area on the right side, facing the back pass, he directly started to transfer.
This foot transferred the ball diagonally and landed just behind the Lyon full-back.
Lyon right back Revier immediately turned his head and rushed towards the landing point.
But the moment he started, Suk was one step ahead of him.
In just one start-up time, Suk opened up a gap in position.
"Oops!"
Revier immediately reached out his hand.
At this time, Su Ke stretched out his foot to stop the ball, and at the same time he made an emergency stop and changed direction. While changing direction, Su Ke shook his arm vigorously to fight for the opponent's defense.
Revier quickly twisted around and rushed towards Su Ke again.
But after Suker saw the opponent's action, he stepped forward. He used the arch of his right foot to knock the ball to his left foot. When he raised his body, Revier's center of gravity was forward, and there was already room for a breakthrough.
Suk pressed Revier's back hard, kicked his feet fiercely, and quickly got rid of it.
"Suke!!! Entering the restricted area!"
yelled Spanish commentator Gonzalez.
All Real Madrid fans were shouting excitedly.
Su Ke breaks into the penalty area, and his threat will increase sharply.
Lyon defender Dabo rushed towards Suker, trying to block it.
But Su Ke made the shooting action very decisively.
"Oops!" Dabo was shocked.
His teammates also yelled: "Don't let him kick!"
Dabo suddenly tackled Su Ke, trying to block it.
But Suk gently lowered his left foot, stepped on the ball, and pulled it horizontally.
The ball just reached the right foot.
Dabo, on the other hand, slid past Su Ke.
Su Ke took small steps to adjust, raised his right foot and hit the ball hard, his body naturally leaned forward and his buttocks sat back.
This is a standard pocket shooting action!
The ball curved and flew toward the blind spot on the right side of the goal.
Uh-huh!
In an absolute blind spot, the ball penetrated into the goal and touched the net.
"Goal!!! Suk!!!"
"The fifth goal in the Champions League!! At 17 minutes of game time, Suker made continuous breakthroughs from the wing and scored this goal!"
"Lyon's defense only lasted 17 minutes. Under the influence of Real Madrid, it was finally penetrated through the goal!"
"With this side kick, Suker's superb shooting skills are fully demonstrated! Even if the Lyon goalkeeper is fully prepared and his position is close to the left, he cannot prevent this goal!"
"Real Madrid leads Lyon 1:0 away from home! They are taking steps towards their third consecutive victory in the Champions League group stage!"
On the coaching bench, Mourinho clenched his fists hard and waved his arms hard!
As long as Suker is given an offensive opportunity, he can score a goal in return.
This is what Suk is for!
"Cheer up! What are you all thinking! Restrict Su Ke! Restrict Su Ke! Don't worry about the right wing. Keep your eyes open and watch Su Ke!"
An angry voice came from the coaching bench next to him.
Mourinho shook his head slightly, he was disgusted with Lyon's head coach.
Leave the right wing alone?
Bale can suddenly kill your right wing.
Moreover, there are Kaka, Khedira and others watching covetously from behind.
Srna will also wait for the opportunity to move forward to help Bell with the edge.
Although Real Madrid's left wing is the main offensive line, if you ignore the offensive ability of the right wing, you will die even worse!
Lyon's defense soon became disorganized.
That's right!
It was because their head coach shouted chaos.
Real Madrid plays a routine of using the right wing to pull in and attack from the left wing to score the winning goal.
But if Lyon's defense is on the left, they don't mind attacking directly on the right until the end of the game.
"Suke! Move towards the ribs!"
Mourinho immediately took command.
Since Lyon won't let go of the left wing, they will directly break their defense on the right wing.
The next routine will become a left-wing involvement and a right-wing attack.
Of course, Su Ke is also capable of launching an attack on the left wing, and this pressure cannot overwhelm Su Ke.
But the question is, why does it have to be so complicated?
There is a simpler way, an easier way to win, so naturally it is better to play more relaxedly.
Furthermore,...Bell's performance is outstanding, which will also cause great interference to the defense.
The group stage does not count. After entering the knockout rounds, there are many strong enemies.
Let Su Ke explode in a single line, which puts too much pressure.
Bell's appropriate sharing can make the opponent's defense even more confused.
In the following time, Su Ke began to pass the ball frequently.
Just highlight one point.
He draws the defense to the left rib area and then starts direct transfers or passes the ball to Kaká for transfer.
When Suk was acting as bait, Bell was also on full fire.
The pressure on him has become less and with a better performance environment, Bell will naturally not let go of this opportunity.
Bell began to launch attacks on the right wing.
He and Benzema also cooperated one after another.
In the 31st minute, Benzema received a pass from Bell. He stopped the ball with his right foot and pulled it behind him.
After noticing Bell's movement, he pushed the ball towards the right side again.
With a simple collision with the wall, Bell's speed showed its effect. He was only half a body ahead, but it was enough for him to shoot.
boom!
The ball rolled close to the ground toward the far left corner.
Lyon goalkeeper Lori's save was a step too slow, which caused the ball to pass under his armpit and fly into the goal.
Real Madrid scored the second goal.
"Gareth, Bale! This is his second goal in the Champions League. After joining Real Madrid from the Welsh Stadium, his performance has become more and more outstanding. Now he has successfully integrated into the team and assumed the work of an excellent breakthrough player!"
"In this game, with Lyon staring at the left wing, Bale became the main offensive player of Real Madrid. With the cooperation of Benzema, he scored the second goal of Real Madrid!"
"Real Madrid led by two goals in the first half, and the situation has tilted towards Real Madrid. If Lyon does not make adjustments, they will lose this game."
Gonzalez shook his head.
If they lose the home game, it will be even more impossible to beat Real Madrid away from home, that is, at the Bernabeu in the next round.
