Zurich is indeed not a strong team. They were on the defensive from the beginning at their home court, and they didn't even have the slightest intention of relying on their home court advantage to deal with Real Madrid.
The five defenders stood in the penalty area and never left, as if they were declaring their sovereignty. This is their territory.
Four midfielders stayed at the front of the penalty area, forming an extremely dense barrier. There was only one single forward in the midfield, and his task was also to harass Real Madrid's offense. As for his own offense, I think he gave up.
The coach of Zurich has a very clear idea, which is to stick to it. Even if he loses, it doesn't matter, but if he is lucky enough to draw with Real Madrid, then he will really make money.
Zurich's home fans were very dissatisfied with the team's treatment. They paid for tickets to watch the game, not to watch such an ugly scene. Even if the jersey is not strong, you still have to have the courage to compete with the strong.
Let's fight. What does it mean to be so unwilling to make progress now?
Real Madrid is not very interested in this level of stubbornness. You must know that the style of La Liga is representative of the Latin school, which focuses on individual skills and beautiful teamwork. Regardless of whether it is a wealthy or a weak team, the style of play is the same.
Even the defensive counterattack is based on tenacious defense and fast breaks, which is not like this posture of guarding the penalty area, so Real Madrid players are not used to it.
Of course, if you are playing against teams from other countries' leagues, you will definitely encounter this situation, but Real Madrid's results in recent seasons have not been very good, and they were eliminated from the Champions League early, so they are not considered experienced.
The game lasted 10 minutes, and Real Madrid only threatened the home team's goal with two long-range shots. Under Zurich's tenacious defense, they did not do much at all.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area, has become Real Madrid's main attack point at this time. After all, his ability to grab points is obvious to all. At this time, his header is definitely the most deadly weapon.
However, the Dutch seem to be really old. The star who was once so elegant on the court can no longer make too many moves that are difficult for the opponent to guard against. Once the opponent's two defensive players guard, the ball will basically be lost.
Lord, interrupt Real Madrid's attack.
Of course, Real Madrid's attack was fruitless, at least there was no danger of being scored, because the Zurich players followed the coach's instructions and immediately made a big kick when they got the ball, regardless of whether their own players could get it. As long as the threat was temporarily dealt with
Everything will be fine.
The prince was holding his back on the edge of the penalty area and breathing heavily. In the previous period, he had repeatedly impacted, and even now he was a little out of breath. But from beginning to end, he didn't get many opportunities, and he even got the ball very few times.
.Whether it is him or Ronaldo, as soon as they enter the opponent's threat area, they will immediately be closely watched by the two of them, giving them very little chance to receive support from their teammates. Moreover, there are so many people in the penalty area, even if they
It's not very easy to handle the ball.
The prince shook his head helplessly. He had experienced many games in which one side was stubbornly defensive, but this was the first time that he had been so thorough. When he was at Chelsea before, Drogba was at the front. The African Elephant King was able to rely on his strength.
His excellent body and experience will turn the opponent's penalty area upside down, and then others will get the opportunity to complete the attack. It is simply the best way to break through the dense defense.
But now Real Madrid does not have this condition. Spain itself does not have any good aerial dominance, and Real Madrid's style of play cannot tolerate the existence of such a player. They rely more on the cooperation of their feet.
The prince scratched his head. He was just a player, not a savior. At this time, he was in the same predicament as other Real Madrid players. His usual retreating style of play in the past didn't work anymore. Even if he retreated, there would still be nothing.
The threat is at most the same as that of other teammates. A few long shots from outside the penalty area cannot threaten the opponent's goal at all.
The opponent was cautious and did not give Real Madrid a few free kicks. It was not until the 20th minute of the first half that Prince and Ronaldo each took a direct free kick, and it was a free kick that was not in an ideal position.
Naturally, it didn't help the team take the lead, otherwise the game would have been really fun.
Pei Shuai was really a little angry. In the past, when he was coaching other teams, he rarely encountered such shameless defenders, so his ability to deal with this kind of situation was relatively poor. At this time, he was even more at a loss.
He could only keep signaling for the team to press forward again and again.
"Louis, do you think you should put Metzelder into the opponent's penalty area? Van Nistelrooy's body has no advantage, but Metzelder's height is not something that the opponent's defender can handle. With him in front,
Fulcrum, I think it will help the offense even more." Seeing Pei Shuai's panic, the assistant coach next to him came up with an idea.
When Pei Shuai heard this, his eyes lit up. Yes, if Ruud van Nistelrooy can't do it, then simply change the method and let the German iron guard who is 193 centimeters tall be an excellent header, whether it is heading the ball or ferrying for his teammates.
, can complete the task very well. Letting him step up at this time will undoubtedly put the greatest pressure on the opponent's defense line.
So Pei Shuai called the German defender to the sidelines alone for an interview, and placed his position in the opponent's penalty area. As for the defense behind him, he was not worried. Even if there was one less defender, the opponent still did not dare to attack, and
Pei Shuai also hopes that the opponent can attack. As long as there is space, Real Madrid does not mind making Zurich suffer.
This adjustment can be said to have an immediate effect. Although Ramos and Marcelo's crosses are not reliable, they at least have a certain accuracy. As long as the ball is raised above the penalty area, then this is Metzelder's territory.
In the meantime, the German defender suppressed the two entangled players of his opponent like a god of war, jumped high, shook his head like a lion, and pushed the ball towards the Zurich goal.
Fortunately, Zurich's goalkeeper, their captain Leoni, was well prepared and jumped up to block the ball out of the baseline, shocking everyone including the opponent and the coach into a cold sweat.
When Pei Shuai saw Metzelder's performance, he was so excited that he applauded loudly on the sidelines, indicating that the team should continue to attack according to this routine, and he was thinking about whether he should give the German more opportunities in the future, such a good player.
It would be a shame not to go there.
Next, Real Madrid started the low-passing play that they are least good at, but because of the high point and players with outstanding footwork such as Alonso also pulled the ball to the side, the threat was not
It was quite big. For a moment, the football was flying over the Zurich team's penalty area. It was really beautiful to watch. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine.
