Chapter 155 Counterattack like a textbook, pass the ball into the Real Madrid goal

The International Champions Cup match between Wolfsburg and Real Madrid at the Longgang Universiade Center Stadium in Pengcheng has not yet started. Martin and Ronaldo's mutual long pass 'fight' during the warm-up period has become the focus of fans' discussions before the game.

Dragon country fans are more and more fond of Martin.

Capable, confident, not stage fright!

Especially when Ronaldo obviously showed a slight loss, he took the initiative to admit defeat, which immediately widened the road.

Let Ronaldo run nearly 50 meters to hug and greet, and chat for a while.

About 5 minutes before the game, players from both sides of the game came to the player channel from the locker room.

The two teams still have many old acquaintances. Gustavo and Marcelo are old acquaintances of the national team, and Schurrle and Kroos are teammates of the national team.

Pepe, Ronaldo, and Vierinha are teammates of the Portuguese national team. Carvajal and Schurrle were teammates in Leverkusen in the 2012-2013 season, and the relationship is still very good.

Modric, Kovacic and Perisic who did not enter the starting list are teammates of the Croatian national team.

Several people had a brief exchange before the game.

Ronaldo took the initiative to find Martin again, and raised his right hand with a smile: "Little guy, come on, I heard that your single defense ability is very strong, and you have not been broken through since the beginning of your career. I want to break your record."

Martin shrugged and held Ronaldo's extended right hand: "I forgot how many people you are saying that, but what is certain is that my record will always be preserved."

"Haha~ See you later on the field."

Ronaldo heard what the referee team from Longguo said, he patted Martin on the shoulder and returned to the queue.

"aaoaooaoaoooooo—"

The two sides of the competition held the hands of the caddies and entered the court behind the referee team. The atmosphere of the Universiade Center Stadium exploded instantly, and there were waves of loud shouts like a tsunami.

The frenzied atmosphere has been gradually revealed.

The fans in front of the TV seemed impatient.

However, the first 5 minutes of the game was not exciting. Both sides have not fully recovered from the pleasant vacation since they started training for the new season.

Both parties need to slowly adjust their status.

"pretty!!"

Martin's state remained very good, and another beautiful tackle left the ball to cut off Bell's accelerated football, which caused a burst of joyful cheers from the audience.

Wolfsburg's preparation for the new season is to continue the fast counterattack style of last season, focusing on high speed from stealing the ball to counterattacking.

After a few simple transmissions, De Bruyne, who received the football, sent a precise through ball, and Schurrle, who was attacking at high speed from the left, cut in with the ball.

I don't know if it's because he hasn't fully adapted to the preparations for the new season. He doesn't feel very good about cutting in after receiving the ball. Pepe, who is fighting and retreating, sees through and destroys the ball out of the sideline.

After 1 minute, Real Madrid's attack made a comeback.

After a tentative attack at the beginning, Real Madrid, who attacked again, became patient.

Under Kroos' rhythm control, he played quite steadily, and the continuous passing back and forth through the three lines involved Wolfsburg's seemingly solid defensive system.

Martin's performance in the right midfielder position is still eye-catching, and he uses a wide range of running to make up for the gaps exposed during the movement of the center and right.

Kroos's long pass accuracy is comparable to Martin's, and his stability is very high. He can often adjust his position according to the game situation, use long pass and short pass to control the rhythm of the game, and is good at using his own conceptual technology to pass the ball to bring threats to the opponent.

In the case that Modric did not play the game, Real Madrid's attack in the frontcourt was sorted out in an orderly manner.

As the game time passed by second by second, Real Madrid's offensive became more and more fierce, wave after wave.

After a while, it was a half-court offensive drill.

Martin's defense zone was under increasing pressure, but he insisted on ensuring the absolute safety of the defense zone by virtue of reasonable position selection, just-right filling and tough frontal defense.

Isco, who served as the midfielder in this game, received the football and planned to seek a breakthrough.

He is a technical player who is very good at dribbling and has outstanding footwork, but he can't find a breakthrough rhythm in front of Martin.

The distance between the two was just right, and he even had a rather outrageous illusion in his brain.

Forcibly breaking through, it is very likely that Martin will break the ball.

Isco shook his head, put the bad idea behind him, and decided to give it a try.

The previous Martin was as immovable as a mountain, giving people a sense of déjà vu.

But everything is just an imagination in the mind, and whether a breakthrough can be achieved depends on actual actions.

The unbelieving Isco received a pass from Marcelo and decisively used his best breakthrough method to test whether Martin's defense was as good as the rumors.

As a typical 55-body body, his legs are shorter than others, so the dribbling chassis is lower, and it is often accompanied by a huge body twist, which causes his buttocks to swing accordingly, so his teammates nicknamed him "Puppy".

Because his legs and hips twisted like a running puppy when he drove the ball.

Martin, who kept a safe distance, knew that Isco was going to end the tentative stage and enter the practical stage.

He is ready to fight, lowering the center of gravity of his body while also capturing the surrounding situation of the two to ensure the safety of the defensive area.

After all, football is a team sport, and Isco is well aware of this. He is not a superstar, but he does not have much possession of the ball. He must consider the word "efficiency" in everything he does.

Too many invalid judgments will first cause dissatisfaction with the coach and teammates, and secondly, it will bring a great risk of losing the ball from offense to defense.

Wolfsburg is a team that is very good at counterattacking.

Isco also knows this very well, so he wants to bypass Wolfsburg's strongest defense and help the team create absolute scoring opportunities.

The pre-season warm-up match is also an important means for the main substitute players to seek to advance to the main position.

Martin, who is fighting and retreating, has always maintained a high degree of attention. When Isco used the change of rhythm to suddenly turn the ball in the opposite direction, his reaction was as quick as a rabbit.

I saw that Martin's body turned [-] degrees clockwise with his right foot as the axis, and his left foot took advantage of the trend to step out in the direction of the body's rotation, from facing Isco to facing away from him, separating the connection between the two with his body.

Isco, who was chasing the ball forward, only felt that his eyes were dark, and it was too late to subconsciously slam on the brakes. He seemed to hit a green wall.

"Nice defense!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "Martin broke the ball at Isco's feet, and Wolfsburg quickly counterattacked!"

After completing the turn and getting stuck, Martin handed the ball to the right back Teresch at the first time, and then completed a 180° turn to the right next to Isco, changing from facing the goal to facing the attacking direction.

Tresch didn't stop the ball and gave the ball directly to Martin's forward running route. Marcelo, who stepped forward to defend Tresch, made an empty shot.

Facing Casemiro, who has a strong sense of defense, Martin's left shoulder sank, and he made a gesture of stopping and waving, bringing the ball in the direction of travel.

Casemiro retracted his center of gravity, waiting for Martin to take the ball forward.

It was too late, but then it was too late, Martin's left instep to lead the ball suddenly exerted force on the inside of the instep, knocking the incoming ball to the right, and the left foot kicked hard on the ground, using the huge reaction force to complete the body's center of gravity twist.

The right foot that stepped forward naturally buckled the football that was dunked by the left foot to the front of the body.

Excellent explosive power is fully revealed at this moment.

“Fried meatballs!”

The commentator He Wei raised his voice an octave.

Martin used the passive effect of the master of stopping the ball and fried balls to pass Casemiro who was pounced in the opposite direction, and continued to advance with the ball.

Kroos, who delays to organize the attack, has relatively weak defensive ability. Instead of daring to defend Martin, he retreated quickly and formed an effective triangle defense with double central defenders Ramos and Pepe.

Kroos didn't go up for the grab, which happened to be in line with Martin's ideas, and he had more room to operate.

As a qualified offensive organizer, you know that the speed of passing the ball is much faster than the speed of people's movement.

Without the pressure from Kroos, Martin can pass the ball to the right with ease.

The oblique straight plug to the right was just right in advance, passing Marcelo, who was returning to the defense at high speed on the right rib, and found Vierinia who ran to the center line on the right.

"Nice pass!"

Martin has a wide field of vision, and he caught the fact that there are few defensive players in Real Madrid's half, and he also decisively advanced to participate in the counterattack.

The position of the right back Tresch changed at this time. He came from the right to the middle, obviously consciously filling the huge space behind Martin's forward drive.

At the same time, Martin's participation in the offense not only increases the number of counterattacks of the team, but also enriches the variability of the counterattack tactical system.

Vierinha on the right side stopped and took the ball forward two steps, and the moment he attracted the national teammate Pepe to step forward, he passed the ball directly to the center.

The target is Dorst who outflanks and follows up in the middle.

Ramos posted it directly, not giving the opponent a chance to move forward.

Dorst had no intention of leading the ball forward at all. He used his strong body to protect the football, turned his back to Ramos who was on it, and then used the outer instep of his right foot to throw the ball to De Bruyne who ran to the left of the center circle.

Kroos knew he couldn't go back any further, so he rushed to the Belgian international decisively.

De Bruyne flicked the ball to the right with the outer instep of his right foot very lightly, and Martin, who advanced at high speed, led the football rolling to the front right with lightning speed.

Stop and go, passing Cross who hastily turned to defend.

"Oops!!"

The pupils of Cross, who was passed by, shrank suddenly, feeling bad.

Although Martin's dribbling value came to [70], he did not try personal dribbling.

He is now the brain of the team's tactical system, and his mind must keep a constant state of affairs, so he knows that the movement of football will always be faster than that brought by the human plate.

The combination of man and ball will definitely delay the opportunity for him to dribble.

Since the problem can be solved with passing, why dribble?
Unless your dribbling ability is 90+, you won't do anything beyond what your ability allows.

Martin made a slight adjustment after wading past Kross with a stop, and sent a diagonal straight plug more than 30 meters to the left at the junction of the arc of the middle circle and the right side of the center line.

Ramos, who followed Dorst in the middle and retreated at high speed, did not dare to tackle the football passing two meters in front of him, for fear that the ball would miss the tackle and lose his position.

Years of rich game experience let him know that some balls can be touched under extreme circumstances, and some balls are difficult to touch even if they try their best.

What he can do now is to stick close to Dorst, who outflanks and follows up in the middle of Wolfsburg, and does not give the opponent an easy chance to touch the ball.

"Wowowoooooooo—"

The Longguo fans at the Universiade Center Stadium looked very aggressive. The football Martin kicked out on the right side of the center circle arc was like a parabola drawn by the plan, bypassing Ramos and Dorst at the previous point.

Carvajal, who was guarding the inside line, couldn't reach it with his feet, and the ball accurately found Schurle on the outside of the left rib.

The fans in the auditorium saw Martin send such a penetrating kick, and they blurted out exclamations one by one.

Benitez, who just took over the coach of Real Madrid this summer, feels that this scene is very familiar. He coached Naples and Wolfsburg in the Europa League quarter-finals last season.

At that time Martin also sent the same wonderful pass.

He couldn't help thinking: Shouldn't the ball be lost?

Fuck, this is my first game in charge of Real Madrid...

Schurrle, who advanced at high speed, moved forward five meters with Martin's just-right pass, and adjusted his pace.

He knew that Carvajal, his team-mate at Leverkusen, was fast and tenacious.

The simple way to deal with it is to increase the probability of scoring counterattacks.

Schurrle caught up with the football in a few strides. He attacked the left rib about 25 meters from the bottom line and passed the ball sideways to Dost, who was following up in the middle.

Ramos chose a deeper position, and Wolfsburg's counterattack was premeditated, and all runs were formulated in detail before the game.

Dorst, who received the ball, pulled the football back with his long right leg before the arc top of the penalty area, and came to a sudden brake. The next thing he did to handle the ball seemed to be the eyes behind his head.

"Martin!!"

Martin, who has been running forward, appears in Dorst's passing lane.

Pepe, who was defending Vierinha, was the closest to Martin who was receiving the ball. He didn't have extra time to think at this time, so he immediately rushed to Martin who was receiving the ball.

Martin, who participated in the attack, had no intention of shooting from a long distance, nor did he intend to take the ball into the penalty area. He used the outside instep of his right foot to pass the football that Dorst picked up directly to the front right.

Pepe, who jumped out, never thought that Martin would pass the ball in such a dangerous position. His reaction was half a beat slow, and he could only watch the football pass by the toe of his subconsciously elongated right foot, and roll towards the defense zone where he should be at this time...

"Ruined!"

He knows that national team-mate Vierinha will definitely appear in that position.

as predicted!

With the football running and looking to the front right, Vierinha appeared in Martin's passing lane.

Goalkeeper Navas also abandoned the goal.

Ramos had no choice but to make up for it, but Vierinha, who had a shooting angle, was selfless and crossed the middle of the penalty area.

Navas, who was attacking, stopped suddenly and turned back before it was too late. The unmarked Dost pushed the ball with his right foot and sent the ball into the empty goal...

"Excellent teamwork! The game went to the 8th minute!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted passionately: "Wolfsburg used their most usual counterattack method to pass the football into the gate of Real Madrid! Leading Real Madrid 1-0 at the Universiade Center Stadium!"
