Chapter 327: Efficient offense against Las Palmas!

The commentator has prepared the script, and it's time to bring this unique battle to the audience.

"Hello, dear viewers, I am the host of Spanish sports commentary, and I will bring you this game."

"Real Madrid, away to Las Palmas!"

"Before this, we learned that in the last round, Real Madrid was tied by Huang Qian without Casemiro and Modric in the midfield. Although the BBC combination started at the same time, they failed to score three points. The winning streak was also ended.”

"Casemiro's injury is serious and he will be absent for a period of time. In the last round, Marcelo also retired with an injury and will not be able to play in this game."

"In this game, Navas is temporarily on the bench after recovering from injury. Nacho will replace Marcelo as the starting left back. In the midfield, Toni Kroos will return to start with Bai Ran and Kovacic, and Morata will replace him. Benzema, who is in poor condition, starts with Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale."

"As for Las Palmas, Boateng will be suspended due to the red card."

"Let's look at the field. The mental outlook of the players on both sides is pretty good. Real Madrid's lineup has been adjusted to a certain extent. In the first two games, Zidane used an everlasting and unpredictable tactic. There hasn’t been such a unique style of play in many years.”

"But we can see that in today's game, Zidane did not set up a 4141 formation, so it is estimated that they are likely to return to the classic tactic of 433."

"The pre-match ceremony is finally over, the players on both sides took their positions, the referee blew the whistle in his hand, and the game began!"

At the beginning of the first half, Real Madrid took the lead.

In only the first minute of the game, Morata handed the ball to Bai Ran, and then ran forward. Bai Ran passed the low ball and handed the ball to Toni Kroos on the wing.

Toni Kroos passed the ball forward, and Morata in the frontcourt ran right into the unknown. Toni Kroos's pass was a bit risky, but fortunately the result was good.

After receiving the ball, Morata quickly knocked back. Under pressure, Morata was helpless and could only return the ball to Toni Kroos again.

In the past few years, the opinions about Toni Kroos's technical characteristics varied greatly. Needless to say, the good ones were good. Others thought that he was single-skilled, weak in body, and poor in athletic ability. He was a typical "midfield dealer." Even at that time, Bayern executives also underestimated his value.

But now it seems that Toni Kroos's role is indispensable, especially after forming a midfield triangle with Modric and Casemiro in the middle of last season. Kroos's shortcomings are mainly defensive coverage and threat area. The ability of continuous promotion and penetration has been compensated, and the core competitiveness can be fully demonstrated.

Kroos is underestimated. Another point is that as he has moved deeper and deeper in recent years, and even now frequently positions himself in the area between the two central defenders to get the ball, many people have ignored his importance to the offense and the penalty area. oppressive.

Although Kroos has been active in the midfield and backcourt for a long time, he can always indirectly bring strength to the team's frontcourt offense through passing ability and changes in rhythm, whether it is transferring from the strong side to the weak side or running quickly. Whether it is his precise passing or his calm leading and distribution of the ball under high-intensity confrontation, Kroos has demonstrated top technical ability and psychological quality.

Since his debut, Kroos has been positioned as a midfielder, but he will decide to play as an attacking midfielder, defensive midfielder or pure midfielder as needed. It can be said that Kroos is a versatile midfielder. No matter where he is, he can unleash his energy and provide strong support to the team.

Although Kroos is a European player, he has exquisite skills and solid basic skills, and he has the style of a South American technical player.

He passed the ball very accurately on the court, especially the through ball, which made people excited and amazed. The word "super cool" is not an exaggeration at all.

No matter where he is on the court, he can deliver through balls to his teammates, and his passing is very comfortable, tearing apart the opponent's defense the moment he allows his teammates to easily get the ball.

As long as a teammate has a strong ability to seize opportunities, then this pass can be converted into an assist.

Although Kroos looks fair and gentle, he will reveal his very fierce side on the court.

When attacking, he can transform into a super assistant to help his teammates attack the enemy and beat the opponent to pieces. Of course, he can also advance the offense himself. When defending, he can transform into a midfield meat grinder, easily Don't give your opponent a chance to advance.

In fact, these discuss Cross's performance on both offense and defense. In actual combat, he does the same.

For example, in this attack, Cross got the ball near the center line, and then he dribbled the ball through. As he was dribbling the ball forward, three defensive players took turns to bomb him, trying to block his way, but he did not make any move. Not afraid, even if the opponent later used foul actions to pull him hard, they still did not win the ball.

This very tough attack reflects Cross' temperament on the court.

This can't help but make people admire - Kroos is an undisputed hard-core offensive and defensive midfielder!

Toni Kroos once again dribbled forward. Under the double-teaming of the opponent, the German took advantage of the change of rhythm and suddenly accelerated, leaving both players behind.

Then Toni Kroos passed the ball to Bai Ran next to him when there were many people in the opponent's frontcourt, and then ran straight to the gap near the top of the arc on the outside of the penalty area without stopping!

This is a good opportunity!

It depends on whether Bai Ran can understand what Toni Kroos means.

Sure enough, Bai Ran turned over and pushed with the arch of his foot, and a classic one-two was born!

This pass was so wonderful that Toni Kroos moved forward and just caught the ball!

nice shot! Toni Kroos shoots furiously in front of the goalkeeper!

The ball went in!

As soon as the game started, Real Madrid gave their opponents a head-on blow!

The score on the field was rewritten and the deadlock was broken!

Toni Kroos helped Real Madrid win the first victory, and the assist was provided by the Chinese genius-Bai Ran!

Scoring goals is not Kroos' main focus, but that doesn't mean he won't score.

Kroos will not deliberately pursue goals on the court, but he will use his own way to score for the team at the right time, that is, long-range shots.

Cross has a characteristic when playing on the court, that is, he will find opportunities to shoot one or two shots in every game. On the one hand, it is to shock the opponent, and on the other hand, it is to provide the team with a fatal blow.

Facts have proved that Cross's move is very effective. Sometimes when the team cannot open the situation, his kick can turn the situation around.

It should be pointed out that Cross basically doesn't make any adjustments to his long shots and shoots directly after receiving the ball. For example, in this attack, he made a long-distance putt after receiving the ball outside the penalty area, and the ball went into the net.

Kroos has a good long-range shot, and his skill can help the team score at critical moments. Sometimes, don't underestimate Cross's role. Cross's long-range shot does not focus on power, but on angle.

Most of his long-range shots are divided into two types, the first is a curve ball, and the second is a ball that sticks to the ground. No matter which type of ball, it has obvious rotation and shaking, which makes it difficult for the opponent's goalkeeper to save.

The “King of Putters” is not a deserved name!

The way Kroos plays on the court is consistent with his character, which is very calm.

Whether he is in a foreign national team or in Real Madrid, his playing style is the same.

When attacking, he will not pass the ball blindly; when defending, he will not make moves easily.

Even if the team encounters a very critical situation, he will remain calm and look for opportunities to equalize or reverse. As long as Cross is around, fans will feel reassured because he will handle every pass in a more sensible and reasonable way.

Kroos is like Real Madrid's stabilizer, able to make the impetuous and noisy game atmosphere smooth and calm.

This goal gave Real Madrid reassurance.

This game is not easy for Las Palmas!

The game on the field continues.

The game came to the 7th minute. Ronaldo received the pass from the left and forced a breakthrough. After cutting inside, he hit the goal!

It's a pity that the ball missed the baseline.

The goalkeeper also gave a false alarm!

Bai Ran applauded repeatedly. Although the goal was not scored, Ronaldo's breakthrough was very sharp and dealt a heavy blow to the opponent's defense.

The goal just now was a complete display of personal ability. He did not cooperate with his teammates. The Portuguese's forced breakthrough caught the opponent off guard.

In the 10th minute, after Cross stole the ball in the frontcourt, he took another powerful long-range shot from the top of the penalty area!

It's a pity that the ball was blocked by the goalkeeper!

Otherwise, it will be another world wave!

Zidane was also cheering for the players. The fans were very enthusiastic and kept singing victory songs for Real Madrid.

There was such a fierce attack at the beginning of the game. It seemed that this game was a sure thing!

The last game was tied with Villarreal, which also sounded the alarm for Real Madrid.

In the 12th minute of the game, it was Cross again, and the set ball from the left side of the penalty area was sent into the penalty area. There are so many people in the penalty area, Morata jumps up and headers the goal!

The ball flew towards the lower left corner of the goal, but Barras reacted very quickly and the ball was lifted out of the baseline.

Las Palmas did not have no offensive opportunities at all. The game turned around in the 15th minute. Las Palmas player Gomez passed the ball from the wing to the penalty area, but in the end it was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

This is one of the few offensive shots of the opponent, but it is not very lethal in Real Madrid's defense.

In the 17th minute, Bai Ran's sudden attack from the midfield started very quickly. After getting rid of the two opponents' players, Bai Ran's SSS tricks once again played an amazing role in the face of the opponent's defenders coming forward to press.

He turned around in vain to pull the ball, and with his smooth movements, he directly deceived the opponent's defender, and then passed a through ball to Ronaldo who was running in the penalty area!

Is CB Connection going to become a classic again?

Ronaldo was double-teamed and defended by two players in the penalty area. Under the pressure of the two players, Ronaldo suddenly fell to the ground.

All players in the penalty area looked at the referee's reaction. Ronaldo opened his hands to indicate that this was a penalty kick.

However, at this time, the referee did not make any comment.

In the 20th minute of the game, Morata suddenly accelerated and made an inverted triangle pass from the left in the penalty area. Ronaldo outflanked him in the penalty area, but he did not step forward at the moment when he was about to shoot, and his shot was blocked.

Ronaldo's shot was from the outside instep. If the shooting angle is uncomfortable, players on the same court will use their reverse foot, that is, their non-dominant foot or the outside instep to shoot.

When it comes to the outer instep, it must be mentioned that one of Ronaldo’s good friends is also a fellow countryman.

Quaresma's outside instep is considered world-class, and his outside instep shots can often produce curved shots that are even more perfect than arch shots.

Shooting from the outside of the instep also requires strong leg strength, and not everyone can complete it.

Famous players who are good at outside-instep shooting, such as Roberto Carlos and Ballack, all have extraordinary leg strength.

The shot from the outside of the instep is very threatening, has amazing power, is sudden, and also has strong concealment.

For example, frontal, small angle, lateral, front and rear oblique, volley ball, etc...

And can shoot straight and curved balls.

So in this case, Ronaldo actually had many choices to make, but when he rushed into the penalty area, his running rhythm was not adjusted well, which meant that Ronaldo's shooting posture and angle were all affected by his own. It's not very comfortable.

So this attack could only be abandoned. It was also a pity that it almost scored.

Ronaldo also shook his head in annoyance.

This was an excellent opportunity to widen the score gap, but now it slipped through his fingertips.

In the 19th minute of the game, Real Madrid still had an opportunity to attack. Cristiano Ronaldo took a position outside the penalty area, and Bai Ran and Toni Kroos in the midfield were colliding with each other.

However, during a pass, after receiving a pass from Toni Kroos, Bai Ran did not choose to pass the ball back, but chose to pass the ball behind him!

This time, the opponent's defensive player was easily deceived!

Bai Ran used the swing of his center of gravity to make the opponent uncertain, and in the end he still got the ball as if he was in no one's sight.

Bai Ran spotted the movement in the penalty area and directly kicked the ball!

This pass was so exquisite that it just bypassed the opponent's defensive player and landed firmly in front of Ronaldo, and it was in a semi-volley state!

This is a good shooting opportunity!

It can be seen that after Bai Ran and Ronaldo played at the same time, they indeed had many more shooting opportunities than before.

Because one of Bai Ran and Ronaldo can pass and the other can run, after these two people complement each other, the opportunities created will be endless.

It just depends on the quality of the shot.

At this time, Ronaldo received Bai Ran's exquisite pass and directly volleyed into the goal!

The shot... went slightly wide.

I also had bad luck, almost grazing the post and missing the bottom line.

Even the goalkeeper couldn't help but sweat this goal!

He stood there and didn't realize the action of saving at all, but luckily the goal didn't go in.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Morata once again received a pass from Bai Ran. It was still Bai Ran who continued to deliver shells to Real Madrid's forward line in the midfield, creating shooting opportunities for them.

It's a pity that Morata's shot from the left inside the penalty area was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

If you don’t eat the cake I feed you, there’s nothing you can do about it!

In the 23rd minute of the game, Las Palmas' offensive opportunity came. Momo made a pass from the left, and Vieira hit the goal from the middle of the penalty area!

Slightly wide from Casilla's side, the ball rolled out of the baseline.

In the 24th minute, Vieira picked a set ball from the left side of the front court into the penalty area and was cleared by Varane with a header.

Varane is 191cm tall, so people would naturally expect him to have excellent aerial ability.

In fact, the specific performance of this area is more complicated. Varane's body can be considered strong, but he is also thin, which makes his performance unstable when competing with the opponent's forwards with outstanding physical fitness.

The characteristic of Varane, a central defender, is that when he can take advantage of ground and aerial confrontations, the team can play quite comfortably.

Obviously, as a central defender, Varane will use his header skills to help the team's set-piece defense. He usually stands in the center of the penalty area and uses his height to complete clearances. On average, Varane can complete 90 clearances every 4.61 minutes.

Varane is still one of the best central defenders of this generation. His original positioning sense and aerial ability are good. Coupled with the improvement in offensive initiation and passing, he can further consolidate his place in the history of football central defenders. status.

The fierce game continued. At 23 minutes, Carvajal broke into the penalty area from the right and passed. There was a melee in the penalty area. When Carvajal grabbed the ball, he pushed the opponent's player with his hands. The player fell to the ground. Just when the Real Madrid players wanted to continue attacking, the referee blew the whistle and Carvajal committed a foul.

But this time the referee was merciful and did not take out the card, but gave a stern warning.

At the 25th minute of the game, Carvajal launched an attack again, sending a cross from the right. Morata fell to the ground in the penalty area and shot an overhead kick, which was weak...

Of course, this shot did not pose any threat, but was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper.

In the 26th minute of the game, another attack came from Las Palmas. Vieira made a pass from the top of the penalty area. Tana hit the goal in the penalty area and was firmly held by Casilla.

In the 29th minute, the game finally became interesting. Las Palmas' frontcourt attacker Vieira successfully broke through and opened a gap in Real Madrid's defense!

Then Vieira made a pass from the left side of the frontcourt, and Tana shot in the penalty area!

The goal was scored!

Las Palmas actually seized the opportunity and scored a goal when Real Madrid let go!

The fans on the sidelines were shocked!

The player who scored the goal was very excited and came to the sidelines to celebrate.

But the linesman had already raised his flag, it was offside!

What a joy!

The fans finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a false alarm.

However, Real Madrid really needs to pay attention to the defensive issues in the backcourt during this period.

Although the opponent has no offensive opportunities so far, the threats are also very few.

But the efficiency is still really high!
