Chapter 764 If You Keep Pretending, There Will Be Thunder!

"You must not be in a hurry when playing Tottenham Hotspur. This is their White Hart Lane stadium. They will definitely attack aggressively after the opening. This has become Tottenham Hotspur's iconic opening, so after we start, we must We attach great importance to controlling the ball. We cannot give the ball to our opponents easily, but must patiently control the ball.”

"This requires each of us to remain 100% focused and calm on the court!"

"I believe that as long as we do this and survive this start, we will basically have won half the battle!"

This is what Pellegrini said to the Real Madrid players in the locker room before the game started.

At this moment, sitting in the visiting team's coaching bench, the Chilean engineer didn't know whether the group of Real Madrid players wearing blue jerseys on the court still remembered what he just said. The only thing he could do was pray and hope. They can remember.

Tottenham are a very scary team, if you can't stay focused and calm you will die badly, and for Real Madrid if they can't win possession, they will die too. It's terrible, so the start is very important.

"I would like to remind them again not to waste the ball easily, to control the ball patiently, and not to try to eat up their opponents. Also, let Ramos and Pepe concentrate and stay calm!" Pellegrini said to him. The assistant next to him, Ruben Kusilas, said.

The latter quickly walked to the sidelines and loudly reminded the players on the court.

But soon, the referee blew the whistle and the game started. Real Madrid, who took the first kick, kicked the ball to Gareth Bale from Higuain, who knocked it back to David Silva, who kicked the ball back. Watts gave the ball to Vargas on the left.

Vargas saw Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been pulled near the center line in front, raising his hand to ask for the ball, and immediately pushed the ball to the Portuguese's feet, because Tottenham Hotspur's Cavani, Messi and Ribery Everyone has already arrived.

Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball with his back to the sideline. As soon as he received the ball, Vidal stood in front of him immediately.

The Portuguese superstar likes to challenge the strong. He knows very well that Vidal is the fastest rising midfield star in Europe in the past two seasons. He is known as the most comprehensive in European football, but he also performs the best on both offense and defense. Excellent midfield star.

One-on-one, eating such a star must be very enjoyable!

The moment he caught the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo had extraordinary confidence in his speed and impact. He immediately dunked the ball with his right foot, turned around and rushed towards the baseline, while Vidal also got close to him immediately. Cristiano Ronaldo, there is an obvious pulling action on his hand.

This is a small move that all defensive players will make when defending Cristiano Ronaldo, or even others. The Portuguese has long been used to it, so he used his right hand to push him, but accidentally pushed him face, but the Chilean midfielder did not fall to the ground.

Just after crossing the halfway line, Cristiano Ronaldo's speed picked up, but at this time the Tottenham Hotspur right back Kyle Walker in front stopped his position, and Vidal next to him was close to him, Cristiano. Ronaldo was very calm, observing the distance between himself and Kyle Walker.

At about the same time, he took the ball to Kyle Walker's left side, which is the side close to the sideline. He wanted to pass the ball directly, past Kyle Walker, and at the same time shook off the sticky plaster. Human Vidal.

The idea is a good idea, but the problem is that when the ball was poked, it was a little deflected and the ball went out of the baseline. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo went around the sideline very quickly and kicked the ball back, it seemed at first glance that it did not go out of bounds, but Kai Er Walker complained to the referee immediately, and the linesman also signaled that it was out of bounds.

Cooperating with the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the stands, they all made the first uproar since the opening, which was to ridicule and sarcastic Cristiano Ronaldo, indicating that he had gone out of bounds!

Stop pretending, it will cause thunder!

Pellegrini saw that less than twenty seconds after the start, the player took the initiative to give the ball to the opponent, which made him rush out of the visiting team's coaching bench and stand on the sidelines, looking very helpless, because He clearly told them to be patient and keep possession of the ball after the start. Why are they so anxious to attack?

Can you be anxious to play Tottenham Hotspur?

Pellegrini put his hands on his waist and panted heavily, obviously suppressing the fire in his heart.

Kyle Walker kicked off the game on the sidelines. His position happened to be near the home team's coaching bench. Ye Qiu came out and said, "Put it back in the backcourt. Don't be too anxious. Take your time. We have plenty of time!"

Kyle Walker glanced at Ye Qiu and threw the ball back to Thiago Silva. He ran towards the baseline to receive Thiago Silva's knockback because Higuain was interfering. Tottenham Hotspur's defense.

After regaining the ball, Kyle Walker was not in a hurry and slowly brought it forward. Because Cristiano Ronaldo was still far away from him and would not press him, he slowly brought it to the center line. In this area, the Portuguese had a symbolic press, but Kyle Walker quickly passed the ball to Thiago Silva.

From the right to the center to the left, when Marcelo caught the ball close to the sideline, the ball had already passed half the court.

For such a push, the opponent is no stranger, and Tottenham is also familiar with it.

It was much easier to deal with the ball after half-court. Soon, Tottenham got a chance. Marcelo passed the ball directly to Ribery, who stopped the ball along the left and turned to pass the ball, but this time he didn't grasp the rhythm after passing the ball. Ribery made a hasty diagonal pass, but the ball was caught by Pepe, the central defender of Real Madrid.

But Cavani in the front court pressed forward at the first time. Pepe adjusted and made another low long pass to the front court to find Higuain, but this time it was Thiago Silva who headed the ball back to Kompany, and the ball fell to Tottenham again.

The attack just now was a bit anxious. This time, Tottenham Hotspur did not continue to speed up. Instead, they saw Higuain trying to press in the front court, so Pirlo and Vidal retreated. Several players passed the ball continuously and played with Higuain for a while. The latter ran back and forth breathlessly and returned to the center circle.

Pressing and oppression in the front court rely on teamwork. One person is equivalent to being played by the opponent.

With the retreat of the midfield, Tottenham Hotspur began to consciously launch a threatening attack. Vidal took the ball from the right and passed it to Messi. The Argentine cut inside and passed it to Ramsey. The Welshman pushed the ball to Ribery in front without stopping.

Ribery appeared between Arbeloa and Ramos, pretending to break through with the ball, but suddenly passed the ball to Marcelo who was inserted from behind. The Brazilian left-back followed up and passed a low ball from the left side of the penalty area to the middle, looking for Cavani, but this time Ramos reacted very quickly and cleared the ball in advance.

The ball still landed at Tottenham's feet, and was handed over to Pirlo to reorganize and prepare for the attack again.

Real Madrid began to consciously strengthen the pressing in the frontcourt, and the entire defense line began to press forward. Both sides attached great importance to the pressing and oppression in the midfield.

At this time, the live camera captured the two head coaches on the sidelines directing the team. Ye Qiu made a pinching motion with both hands, and Pellegrini obviously asked the players to slow down, handle the ball not so quickly, and stay calm.

But how could Real Madrid's players slow down? Once the ball reached the midfield, David Silva, Xavi Alonso and Khedira were immediately pressed by Tottenham at the same time, forcing their midfielders to always handle the ball quickly, or send some unsure passes forward, or pass the ball behind them.

Cavani's pressing on Real Madrid's defense was also very strong, especially after the opening, so once the ball fell to Pepe and Ramos' feet, they could only launch a long pass at the first time, but the success rate of this pass was almost zero.

Gradually, Tottenham pushed the defense past the center line and launched another threatening attack, rushing into Real Madrid's half, but this time Messi's shot was saved by Casillas, and then Pepe chased after him and cleared the ball with a big kick.

The continuous attack put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid. Although the game had just passed three minutes, the situation clearly showed that Tottenham Hotspur almost had an overwhelming advantage on the field, and Real Madrid had difficulty in controlling the ball and organizing a threatening attack because of the ball handling.

After a counterattack, Gareth Bale rushed forward at high speed, won the ball, turned to the middle, and wanted to pass it to David Silva who came in from behind, and then the Spaniard would divide the ball and pass it through, but Ramsey, who returned to defense, made a shovel and shoveled the ball to Kompany halfway, who kicked the ball forward directly with a big kick.

Kompany's ball was not high, and the arc was very low. Ribery in front stopped the ball directly to Messi in the middle.

Messi turned around after stopping the ball and began to accelerate and rush forward with the ball. Xabi Alonso was behind him and he followed Messi closely.

Xabi Alonso is very experienced. He knows very well that Messi is a left-footed player and the most threatening is his left foot, so when he approaches Messi's defense, he locks Messi's left side and forces the Argentine to the right line.

Messi also quickly dribbled the ball from the middle to the right at first, but when the two entered the 30-meter area of ​​Real Madrid, Messi suddenly stopped and dribbled the ball with his right foot, which caught Xabi Alonso off guard. He lost his center of gravity and almost fell down, while Messi quickly cut into Xabi Alonso's left side and dribbled the ball forward.

This is where Messi is the smartest. Just now he was forced to the right, and as a left-footed player, he was very passive. But now he made a quick change of direction and turned to cut inside. His left foot immediately became advantageous and took the initiative.

In this case, Xavi Alonso could no longer catch up with Messi, so almost in an instant, Pepe stepped forward to block the arc area, but Messi suddenly passed the ball to the right and passed it behind Pepe, and then saw Cavani rushing quickly from the left side of the penalty spot to the right side.

Originally Cavani was between Ramos and Pepe, but now Pepe rushed up, Cavani naturally ran to the right side, and Ramos could only follow Cavani on the left side to defend him. This defensive position itself was very passive, and the ball Messi passed to Cavani was not strong and fast. After Cavani caught up, he didn't even need to stop the ball, and his right foot directly shot a far corner.

Cavani's shot was also very clever. Casillas reacted quickly enough to block the shooting angle of the right post of the goal. Ramos was also worried that Cavani would shoot directly, so he tried his best to speed up to block the near corner, so Cavani chose the most difficult one, the far corner.

This shot was not very powerful, because the speed and strength of the ball were not the key. In the absence of defensive players, the angle was the key to whether the goal was scored or not, so Cavani's shot was clever, not powerful.

Casillas reacted very quickly and flew to make a save, trying to save the ball with one fist, but unfortunately, it was still a little short. Cavani's goal rushed into the goal line and hit the left inner side net.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"

"In the fifth minute, just five minutes after the start, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in breaking Real Madrid's goal!!!!"

"With an assist from Leo Messi, Uruguayan center forward Cavani scored, 1:0!!!!"

The entire White Hart Lane stadium was boiling. No one could believe that the goal would come so quickly and so suddenly, as if all at once, and even many fans who found their seats later might not have fully entered the game state, the ball went in. What kind of rhythm is this?

Cavani rushed out of the stadium excitedly, and he ran all the way to the bottom of the fans' stand. He knew very well that he was negotiating a contract extension with the club. More goals and better performances could win him better bargaining chips, and even if it didn't work, he hoped to win the favor of other giants through his wonderful performance.

Messi, Ribery and others rushed up quickly. This time, Tottenham Hotspur did not invest much troops in the counterattack. There were only three people. Ribery stopped the ball and passed it to Messi, who dribbled forward and assisted Cavani after passing Xavi Alonso. The goal was very simple, but very, very fatal!

Seeing the Tottenham Hotspur players hugging together on the sidelines, the Real Madrid players on the field looked very depressed, because they lost the ball after the opening, which was definitely a painful blow to them.

Pellegrini was more depressed than anyone else on the sidelines. He repeatedly reminded the players not to be anxious after the opening, and they must not be anxious to play Tottenham Hotspur, but the problem was that no one listened to him.

Perhaps in the eyes of Real Madrid players, Pellegrini is already a former coach who is about to leave the team, and the weight of his words is greatly reduced. In addition, in the past many years, Real Madrid has always given people a feeling that the team lineup is very strong, but the strength shown is very weak.

This has caused Real Madrid's players to always be anxious to prove themselves. From the Champions League round of 16 for many consecutive years to now, although this curse has been broken, Real Madrid's high investment every season is a pressure on the team's players, making them eager to prove their strength and value.

On the contrary, Tottenham Hotspur has too much experience. They have played in the Champions League for many consecutive years. Every player in the team has rich experience in the Champions League, and their tactical execution is very good. They play as Ye Qiu says, without any hesitation or doubt.

It's like Ye Qiu said before the game that he must win the midfield confrontation and suppress Real Madrid in the midfield. He even asked midfielders Ramsey and Vidal to give up participating in the attack, but to suppress Xabi Alonso and David Silva's passes, and Pirlo's retreat was also very deep, and he participated more in the team's backcourt passes.

In this way, Tottenham Hotspur's attack is more likely to be launched from the wing, that is, the side of Marcelo and Kyle Walker. This clearly shows an attitude, I just predicted that your two wingers would not participate in the frontcourt pressing, you bite me?

Real Madrid's offensive power is indeed very good, but modern football tactics emphasize balance and pressure in the frontcourt. For teams like Real Madrid, whose wingers basically do not mark people, they must focus on the defense of the back line.

If it were Ye Qiu, he would basically consider pulling Xavi Alonso back and retreating deeper, completely flattening the team, running back and forth in the midfield, pressing the full-backs when holding the ball, and pulling the double central defenders apart to form a powerful ball possession formation with the midfield.

As long as it is operated properly, such a configuration can ensure that Real Madrid's defense is improved to a certain extent, but it also requires a lot of ball-passing ability from the double central defenders. Judging from the abilities of Ramos and Pepe, there is no big problem.

But Pellegrini still insisted on playing with four defenders, and put Khedira in the midfield, which seemed to balance the midfield configuration, but the problem was that if your two wingers did not participate in the defense, the defensive pressure on your flanks would always be very high, especially when the opponent had excellent wing attacking players and excellent central receiving points.

When Tottenham Hotspur scored the first goal, Pellegrini asked the players to be calm and the team to control the ball patiently, but Tottenham Hotspur was arranged by Ye Qiu. No matter what, I scored a goal, I am in high spirits now, I rushed forward directly, and beat Real Madrid.

Real Madrid soon paid the price for their flanks.

Kyle Walker went forward to join the attack, and when he reached the 30-meter area in front of the Real Madrid goal, he received a pass from Vidal. At this time, Real Madrid had basically retreated to the 30-meter area to participate in the defense. There were only three scorers in front, and there was no one defending Kyle Walker's side. Vargas was too far away and out of reach.

The English right back stopped and looked at the situation. He noticed that Cavani was about to rush into the penalty area. Ramos and Pepe were on the left and right of the Uruguayan center forward. The two were staring at Cavani, but Kyle Walker and Cavani had cooperated many times. He directly swung his right foot and copied Beckham's crescent moon knife and passed the ball to the penalty area at a 45-degree angle.

Cavani rushed forward quickly, judging the landing point of the ball, and at the same time, he used his body to interfere with Pepe to prevent the Portuguese from jumping. Before the Portuguese was about to jump, his hand also had a subtle movement of pulling the jersey.
