On the evening of September 17, Vandenstock Stadium in Brussels, Belgium.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid challenged Anderlecht away.
When the referee Mark Clattenburg from England blew the whistle to start the game, Real Madrid, who took the first kick, passed the ball back, but not to the central defender, but to Casemiro and then
Quickly passed to Modric.
Di Maria retreated from the front to receive the ball, but the defenders pressed forward step by step. The Argentinian knocked back to Casemiro again, and then passed to Toni Kroos.
The German midfielder made a long pass to the open space on the left side of the frontcourt.
Marcelo stopped the ball and was about to launch an attack when Clattenburg's whistle sounded.
The linesman raised the flag, offside!
The entire stadium was filled with applause and cheers from Anderlecht fans.
As Marcelo walked back, he gave a thumbs up to Toni Kroos.
The pass was passed very well and he received it very comfortably. He was able to rush over with it, but he just didn't grasp the timing well at the start and rushed a little too early and was offside.
Anderlecht served quickly, but it soon fell to Real Madrid's feet.
Real Madrid reorganized and planned an attack again.
In the third minute, Modric suddenly made an overhead pass from outside the 30-meter line and dropped it into Anderlecht's penalty area. Benzema quickly stepped in and took the ball off.
When he was about to hit the goal, the referee's whistle sounded again.
The linesman raised the flag, offside!
Two consecutive offenses were offside.
Benzema shook his head helplessly.
The moment he started, Anderlecht's defense players made a collective move to press forward, which was creating an offside trap.
It was obvious that Anderlecht was not going to defend tonight.
Playing at home and facing the powerful Real Madrid, Anderlecht performed bravely.
This is actually the consistent style of many European teams.
If the home game is too conservative, the fans will not be happy and this will affect the football market.
On the contrary, even if you face a strong opponent and bravely choose to press out and attack, even if you lose miserably, the fans will still talk about it because for many fans, the football game is just a show.
Since it is a show, it has a strong entertainment nature.
Excitement is more important than victory or defeat!
…
Gao Shen stood on the sidelines and noticed Anderlecht's defense.
The pressure is always relatively close to the front, sometimes even near the thirty-meter area.
This is a very courageous choice.
But bravery sometimes comes at a price.
Gao Shen signaled the team as a whole to move back a little to give a certain amount of space.
What Real Madrid players lack most is speed.
…
Soon, the two sides fell into an offensive and defensive battle.
Real Madrid tried several times to get behind, but to no avail.
After two consecutive offside traps, Anderlecht also adjusted its defense in time.
Obviously, the Belgians are also afraid that their defense will be penetrated again and again.
But what is supposed to come will come sooner or later.
In the 12th minute, Real Madrid stole the ball in their own half and organized patiently.
Modric advanced with the ball, but before it passed the center line, Di Maria pulled back from the front and pulled out the defender. However, Modric did not pass the ball to Di Maria, but passed it crosswise.
Tony Cross.
The German midfielder glanced ahead and made a decisive long pass, once again sending the ball behind Anderlecht's defense to the right side of the penalty area.
After Di Maria retreated, Benzema moved sideways, somewhat trying to pull away.
Modric also saw this, but from his angle, it was difficult to pass the ball directly. Even if he barely passed the ball, it would be difficult for Benzema to receive it, and it would be difficult for Benzema to take the next step after receiving the ball.
So he chose to pass the ball across to Toni Kroos, and the German made a long pass that accurately landed on the right side of the penalty area.
Benzema quickly moved forward and formed a beautiful anti-offside move.
When Anderlecht's defenders were raising their hands and waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to signal offside, Benzema had already caught up with Toni Kroos's pass in the penalty area and was in position before the goalkeeper could attack.
Before that, he took a kick and sent the ball into Anderlecht's goal.
"goallllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"Real Madrid scored!!!"
"Benzema opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 12th minute."
"After continuous offside violations, Anderlecht's defensive player finally fell due to the offside problem."
"We have always known that offside is a double-edged sword. If it succeeds, it can disrupt the opponent's attack, but if it fails, it will often be single-handedly beaten by the opponent."
"From the slow-motion replay, we can clearly see that this was indeed a successful anti-offside move. Benzema made an obvious lateral run and then suddenly broke forward, which confused Anderlecht's defensive players.
.”
"At the moment when Modric passed the ball, Benzema was not offside."
"One to zero, Real Madrid is temporarily in the lead!"
…
Just over three minutes had passed since the last goal, and Real Madrid once again created an excellent opportunity.
Marcelo moved forward and posed an offensive threat on the left, but failed to break through and was forced to pass the ball across to Benzema.
Benzema retreated from the front, received the ball with his back, passed it back to Toni Kroos, and then passed it across to Modric.
In an instant, Real Madrid completed the transfer of the ball from left to right.
Modric chose to pass the ball straight to the feet of Di Maria in front.
The Argentinian first made a fake move to attract the attention of the defensive player, and then pretended to cut inside, but in fact he suddenly distributed the ball to the baseline.
Carvajal ran forward along the right sideline at extremely fast speed, rushed to the right side of Anderlecht's penalty area, caught up with Di Maria's pass, and passed the ball low.
The football was passed to the center of the penalty area at great speed.
Anderlecht's defensive players were all chasing back, but they couldn't catch up in time. Only Ronaldo, who was on the left side of the small penalty area, jumped in at high speed and got ahead of everyone, almost without any defense.
Easily pushed the shot into the empty net.
Two to zero!
…
In the 22nd minute, there was another attack from Real Madrid. Toni Kroos' big foot transfer from the left moved the ball laterally to the right side of the court, and Carvajal stepped in to catch the ball.
After the Spaniard stopped the ball, he took it forward along the right sideline and formed a quick one-two with Di Maria on the wing. The Argentine kicked the ball to the bottom line again, and Carvajal once again moved forward at high speed.
, formed a breakthrough and passed the low ball.
The number of paths is almost the same as before, and the one connecting in the middle is Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese got rid of all the defensive players, moved forward as quickly as possible, got ahead of Anderlecht's central defender, and sent the ball into the goal that was close at hand.
Three to zero!
Scored twice!
The Portuguese was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium and ran all the way to celebrate the goal.
Everyone can see that he is in really good shape tonight.
Especially as the selection for the FIFA Ballon d'Or is approaching, his form comes faster and explodes more violently.
In the 33rd minute, after Real Madrid made a continuous pass, Cristiano Ronaldo retreated to catch the ball and suddenly passed the ball back to the left. Marcelo, who came in behind, caught the ball and drove straight in. Then Cristiano Ronaldo's
The pass was sent into the penalty area.
But Anderlecht's central defender decisively pushed the ball away.
The ball landed on the left side of the top of the penalty area, but at this time, there was no defensive player in this area.
"Anderlecht's midfield defense made a mistake..."
"Cristiano Ronaldo is stepping in and kicking the door directly!!!"
"The ball went in!!!"
"WORLD WAVE!!!!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick!!!"
"He used a wonderful kick to score another victory for Real Madrid, 4-0!"
"Real Madrid's offensive in the first half tonight was really fierce, and Anderlecht's goal was scored again and again."
"This also proves one thing once again, that is, never play against Real Madrid!"
"When you try to compete with Real Madrid, you are often the one who pays the price!"
"Anderlecht made a very brave choice tonight, but we must also say that they are paying the price for their bravery!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo, the world's top superstar who is striving to win the second Ballon d'Or of his career this year, is in great shape now, performing very well, and his footwork is also very smooth."
"We can see that this kick is very beautiful. The strength, speed and angle of the ball are all just right."
"It's truly a world wave!"
…
The first half ended with a score of 4-0.
During the halftime break, Gao Shen praised Ronaldo's outstanding performance by name, and other players on the team also performed very well, such as right back Carvajal.
In fact, the operation of the midfield is also very good. This is the key factor for Real Madrid to suppress Anderlecht and create opportunities in turn. However, everyone knows that the performance of the midfield is not too obvious.
So, the midfielders are actually a group of unknown heroes!
Gao Shen requested that the team should make persistent efforts in the second half, especially after leading 4-0, they must not slack off.
Real Madrid also strictly implements the advanced requirements.
According to Gao Shen's original intention, Anderlecht should be more prudent and adopt more conservative tactics. At the very least, they should strengthen the team's defense.
But as a result, at the beginning of the second half, Gao Shen was surprised to find, no!
Yes, Anderlecht still chose to bravely attack Real Madrid, and the defense still stood up.
This is definitely a representative of the Toutie clan!
But a skilled team specializes in head-to-head irons!
So, in the 52nd minute, Casemiro sent a pass. Carvajal cooperated with Di Maria on the right. The Argentine ran in and cut inside to form a single goal. He scored with a low shot with his left foot.
Five to zero!
Gao Shen then made substitution adjustments, but Jese, who came on as a substitute, assisted Benzema and scored a goal just two minutes into the game.
The French center also scored twice.
Six to zero!
And in the 87th minute, Verratti sent a through ball. Jese once again successfully countered offside and scored a goal with an angry shot, locking the score at 7-0!
Anderlecht encountered a crazy massacre at their home ground!
