Football: After listening to the persuasion, I became the strongest free man!

Chapter 331: Extensive injuries! Go out to Eibar!

Dortmund's team has just undergone huge personnel changes some time ago, although they have introduced many strong players, such as Ousmane Dembele and Adrian Ramos, who returned from loan.

Gotze and Schürrle also joined the Hornets at the same time.

However, the turmoil within the team is still very unstable, and the operations of the transfer window actually weaken Dortmund's strength in the eyes of fans.

Hummels left the team to go to Dortmund's arch-rival Bayern Munich. This was not only a significant reduction in strength for the Hornets, but also a huge blow to morale.

After all, the departure of a main central defender is nothing, and the strengthening of the opponent is even more of a blow.

Under this situation, everyone in Dortmund is in danger.

This also includes Mkhitaryan joining Manchester United for 42 million euros, and Gundogan joining Manchester City for 27 million euros.

The red-blue battle in the Premier League has always been a classic among classics. However, this is undoubtedly a painful blow to Dortmund in Germany.

In this case, Dortmund should have been greatly reduced in strength, but at this critical moment, they once again set off a youth storm.

There are many young talents in the team who can be put to great use.

Pulisic, Castro, Guerrero, including Ginter, performed so well in this game that even Tuchel could not have imagined that they could be in such good shape.

In addition, Aubameyang, who is at the peak of his football skills and physical functions, and super star Ousmane Dembele, who came to Dortmund and quickly found his form.

At the beginning of the first half and within the first ten minutes of the second half, Real Madrid's defense was in a tough battle.

After the game started, although Real Madrid scored one goal first, it was still very difficult from the scene. Zidane and Bai Ran also conducted a series of pre-match warm-ups for the players before the game, and they were also optimistic about Dortmund's strength. Got a certain understanding.

But after the game officially started, things did not go as they had guessed.

Dortmund's players played so crazy, the offensive line in the frontcourt was extremely sharp, and the defense in the backcourt was impenetrable.

Thanks to Toni Kroos's super world wave, this can help Real Madrid temporarily take the lead at the beginning of the game.

In this game, Real Madrid's players also performed very inconsistently. This is a huge loophole in Real Madrid's players this season.

Even at the beginning of the season, they won many games in a row, and their performance in the previous three championships was acceptable, but this was also a victory that led Real Madrid to victory.

Bai Ran's super personal ability conceals Real Madrid's shortcomings.

In these games, Bai Ran's fiery state has stabilized, and the problems of other players have surfaced and been exposed.

Dortmund implemented a high-pressing tactic on the wing. Of course, Real Madrid was not to be outdone. Under Zidane's instructions, they planned to fight Dortmund to the end.

On the side of Dortmund full-back Schmelzer, Real Madrid also put tremendous pressure, but the effect of applying pressure on Dortmund in this way was not so ideal.

After all, most of Dortmund's lineup is composed of young players, and their physical fitness and explosive power are far superior to Real Madrid.

Of course, Bai Ran cannot be relied upon to be just one person's explosive power. Real Madrid's other players do not have such strong explosive power.

This also leads to the fact that Dortmund obviously does not have a good chance when they don't have the ball, and their young players are often able to take chances.

Dortmund's counterattacks are extremely sharp, and they can always form a situation where more players beat fewer players.

This is all due to the youth of their lineup. Although Real Madrid has more mature skills and a more comprehensive tactical system, the Hornets can always use the width of the field to pull wide from the midfield through their unremitting running and amazing counterattack speed.

It is difficult for Real Madrid to cope with Dortmund's side impact. Whether it is a counterattack in the frontcourt or a push in the middle, Dortmund's overall advancement speed is extremely fast.

In this case, Real Madrid quickly exposed a fatal flaw, that is Casemiro's absence.

Casemiro's coverage area on the court is extremely wide, and his running energy is endless. If he is on the court, he will definitely be able to restrict Dortmund's advancement.

But unfortunately, Casemiro's injury has lasted for a long time, and they had no choice but to let Toni Kroos organize the backcourt.

Toni Kroos's defensive attributes are not enough to support Real Madrid's lineup with a protective midfielder in front of the back line.

This also leads to the fact that Dortmund does not actually need any fancy cooperation and extraordinary breakthroughs. Just relying on the momentum and explosive power of young players, they can easily break through the defense line of Real Madrid's midfield.

Facing the defender directly, Real Madrid will definitely be in crisis.

The Hornets' counterattack moves are also very sophisticated. When Carvajal is not on the wing, Modric will fill in. A defensive vacuum is quickly formed in the middle of the arc, which is easily captured by Dortmund.

This kind of scene has happened many times. Dortmund's young players saw Real Madrid's back line continuing to deepen, which also gave a signal to Dortmund's players.

That is, Real Madrid's defense in the middle is actually in an extremely weak state.

This situation gave Dortmund huge confidence in their offense, so their fast breaks were always able to spare no effort, so much so that in the first 15 minutes of the two halves, Real Madrid was once beaten out of touch with its midfielders and defenders.

Relying on presses, counterattacks and the gaps created by multiple movements, Dortmund made good use of the defensive problems existing in Real Madrid's three midfielders.

Even when Toni Kroos retreated to get the ball, Dortmund still relied on a high press to strangle the forward passing path from the wing.

At the beginning, Dortmund's offensive group suppressed Real Madrid's defense and used multiple high-position presses to gain the opportunity to directly counterattack.

At the same time, Benzema's state in this game was also ups and downs. At 14 minutes into the game, Real Madrid originally had a very good counterattack opportunity in the frontcourt.

The opportunity to counterattack this time came when Bai Ran broke through from the center and shifted the situation to the wing. Dortmund's back line in the center focused all its attention on Bai Ran and Ronaldo. A huge gap appeared in front of Benzema. Neutral.

But at this time, Benzema fell down.

This also led to Real Madrid's counterattack opportunity being self-defeating and not posing any threat to the opponent's goal.

Benzema also had a scene in this game where he hit the lintel to help his teammates in a tough battle, and his shooting condition was not the best.

Dortmund also understands that in the midfield and frontcourt, they invest too much force. The high-position pressing strategy is to launch a quick counterattack after stealing the ball in the midfield and frontcourt. However, this also exposed Dortmund's lack of manpower in the backcourt. It is also a shortcoming that is easily missed by Real Madrid.

Tuchel also took a series of countermeasures, that is, when returning to defense, he used multiple players to press Real Madrid players at all costs, making the choice of the player holding the ball very slim for a moment, and was eventually defeated. There are countless examples of steals.

Even Tuchel had already told Dortmund's players that even if it was a tactical foul, Real Madrid's advance would be delayed.

As long as Real Madrid cannot counterattack, it will not pose a sufficient threat to the Hornets' backcourt.

In the process of returning to defense, the midfielder double-teamed Real Madrid's ball carrier before the formation was stable. The effect of this move was very clear, fast and ruthless, and caught Real Madrid off guard.

With six players in the frontcourt, Dortmund's running ability was fully unleashed, which resulted in spaces everywhere in Real Madrid's backcourt.

Because of their superior strength, after Dortmund succeeded in pressing in the frontcourt, their players' foot skills showed an excellent level.

Before Real Madrid showed any threat on counterattack, Dortmund's six-man force in the frontcourt had been generating a steady stream of threats.

Real Madrid's counterattack started with Ronaldo's return pass, and Bai Ran's exquisite transfer opened the situation instantly.

Dortmund's offense caused a lot of trouble for Real Madrid. Tuchel saw this scene, and of course the players knew very well that Real Madrid could not withstand such an attack.

So they gradually got carried away while fighting, and finally received the retribution they deserved.

The counterattack came from Bai Ran's transfer, to the feet of Ronaldo on the left, and quickly found the opponent's defensive gap. Until the moment Kroos completed the world-famous goal, in fact, the entire offense relied on the performance of the midfielder. .

After receiving Bai Ran's second pass, Benzema encouraged the counterattack to develop rapidly.

And Cross's organization is just right.

The cross movement of Bell and Ronaldo made Bai Ran's passing rhythm just right.

In this counterattack, Dortmund's midfield and backfield were obviously at a loss for the passing and running of Bai Ran and BBC.

After Real Madrid took the lead, the defensive position began to gradually retreat, and Dortmund still maintained a large number of troops in the frontcourt.

In the first half, Real Madrid was actually constantly beaten by Dortmund by exploiting the gaps between the two lines in the midfield and backcourt.

Dortmund's midfield attack changed a lot, and it accurately captured the huge defensive gap in Real Madrid's midfield.

When Bai Ran realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

Kroos, Ramos and Varane all made huge defensive mistakes one after another, allowing Castro to insert in the middle and Aubameyang's lateral movement.

Dembélé then had half a dozen chances on the right flank in this game, but failed to do so.

But it is worth mentioning that even so, Ousmane Dembele still performed very well in this game.

Relying on their physical advantage, Dortmund continuously surrounded Real Madrid's offensive players in the frontcourt and cut off the opponent's passing and running space.

Dortmund still failed to adapt to Real Madrid's cross-positioning to a great extent, but unfortunately they failed to persist. Although Navas saved the penalty kick in this game, it is obvious that there are big problems with his movement, prediction, force on the ground and hand shape.

The poor state of this game was also a key point in Real Madrid's draw with Dortmund.

At the beginning of the second half, the situation between Dortmund and Real Madrid seemed to be happening again, but this time they changed sides. Their offensive and defensive rhythm was exactly the same as in the first half.

Dortmund still maintained a three-man press in the frontcourt, limiting Real Madrid's ball routes.

Real Madrid's corner kick tactics are exactly the same as Barcelona's against Atletico Madrid in the league, creating a double change in attack time difference and rhythm.

Benzema is also an unpredictable forward, but Dortmund's matchup defense is simply a formality.

Dortmund's direct midfield pass and fast break still worked, and Real Madrid's back-and-forth back-and-forth was very exhausting.

Bai Ran, who had amazing physical fitness, almost determined the outcome of the game.

Real Madrid had no good plan against Dortmund's quick counterattack.

No matter how tough Zidane is, I think he has learned some of the essence of the two coaches he once assisted, Mourinho and Ancelotti.

This game is the most satisfying game that Real Madrid has performed in recent times. What is even more valuable is that Real Madrid can finally let go and play efficient yet exciting practical football on this level of the field. This is very valuable. OK

The only change in Dortmund was Guerrero replacing More in the starting lineup. This is because Tuchel hopes to use Guerrero's defensive ability to limit Real Madrid's forward play. Tuchel's move has actually proven to be very effective.

Tuchel and Dortmund should have tried to find new solutions after experiencing the frustration caused by the compression of the three lines.

It is advisable to seek vertical ladder-like and horizontal inward breakthroughs in the middle of Real Madrid's tight three lines to disrupt Real Madrid's defense.

Considering that Cristiano Ronaldo and James Ronaldo are not very enthusiastic about returning to defense and have the ability to return visits, this choice is very reasonable.

It's a pity that they didn't stick to this style of play. After several attempts, Dortmund's offense once again returned to the routine of looking for opportunities by dropping the ball.

This offensive routine actually lacks a little change in rhythm. The opportunity Dortmund is looking for should be similar to Aubameyang's chance to receive the ball in front of the penalty area around 30 minutes.

The game ended in a draw. Zidane should have found the problems within the team. The draw also sounded the alarm for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has achieved three consecutive draws in all competitions, which is obviously an unacceptable result for a club that has always been one of the strongest teams in the world.

But it’s still too early to draw conclusions now, as everything has just begun.

For example, last year, Real Madrid had a bad start. It was not until the transfer window opened in the middle of the season and the double joining of Zidane and Bai Ran that Real Madrid caught up.

So it is necessary to pay attention, but there is no need to be so desperate.

After all, in four days, Real Madrid will usher in the next La Liga match.

That was the game against Eibar.

On October 10, Real Madrid will face Eibar at home.

Before that, Bai Ran was still sweating on the training ground as before, but this time Bai Ran had a great purpose. He had already gained a lot in completing the tasks given by Zidane. A lot of attribute points.

After opening his own panel, Bai Ran nodded with satisfaction.

Of the six shining stars, only two were lit up by myself.

The current free attribute points are also ten.

Bai Ran thought for a while and seemed to have learned before that only 30 free attribute points can be exchanged for half a star.

Bai Ran simply poured all these attribute points into the SSS card.

I saw the third star suddenly light up, and the golden part was just painted a little.

A long way to go!

Training is still going on every day, and if this continues, Bai Ran will finally have something to look forward to.

As long as you have enough time and complete enough tasks, attribute points will not be a problem.

From small goals to big goals, this is Bai Ran's method.

For example, Bai Ran's current goal is to grow to two and a half stars, which requires the blessing of 20 attribute points.

So Bai Ran still had to do devil training.

Time flies by quickly, and October 10nd arrives in a blink of an eye.

The Bernabeu ushered in a Spanish Serie A match.

Real Madrid, which suffered three consecutive draws in all competitions, regrouped and set off again to show their best form to challenge Eibar.

The atmosphere at the scene was also very enthusiastic, and the fans were eagerly looking forward to Real Madrid's condition returning to its peak.

The commentator is also in place.

"In the last two rounds of La Liga, although Cristiano Ronaldo has started, he has not scored a goal. So far in the new season of La Liga, Cristiano Ronaldo has only played 3 games and scored 1 goal due to injuries."

"Real Madrid midfielder Modric has just completed knee surgery and will be absent for a month. Modric cannot play in this game. Marcelo and Casemiro will also continue to be absent. Real Madrid captain Ramos will take turns to miss the game."

"However, in this campaign, Pepe returned to the starting position, Isco and Bai Ran both started, and BBC continued to partner on the front line. Extensive injuries have caused Real Madrid to have three consecutive draws. It is worth looking forward to whether they can regain their form in this game. .”

Zidane also told Bai Ran before the game started that there was a long way to go in this game and not to put too much psychological pressure on himself.

Real Madrid's extensive injuries have indeed affected their performance and combat effectiveness.

In this game against Eibar, although it is not a very strong team, there is no room for error...
