Chapter 98 The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind

Flores stood up from his seat, stood on the sidelines, waved his arms to signal the Atletico Madrid offense to be stronger, especially on the sidelines, which was extremely necessary to open up the situation from the sidelines and then pull Chu Zhongtian out of the middle.

Chu Zhongtian was completely unmoved, like a pass, always guarding the middle lane.

The head coach off the court is fighting wits and courage, and the players on the court are also fighting wits and courage.

Reyes faced the joint defense between Di Maria and Ramos, but did not make a breakthrough by himself. He knew that the chance of a breakthrough was very low. Ramos defended fiercely, and Di Maria was in excellent physical fitness and fast speed. It was very difficult to successfully get rid of the two of them.

So he made a move forward, but stopped quickly, then pulled the ball back slightly with his right foot, dodged Di Maria's sweeping leg. Then he passed the ball out.

The group was up and down at the feet of Harvey Garcia. The player inserted from the back midfielder and finally met Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian was guarding the ribs, but Garcia did not fight him one-on-one. When he saw Chu Zhongtian in the ribs, he passed the football across the middle.

Chu Zhongtian moved to the middle road with the football.

The person who catches the ball in the middle is Aguero who retreats.

Aguero still did not fight Chu Zhongtian alone. In nearly a season in La Liga, Chu Zhongtian has proved his ability in one-on-one defense with games one-on-one game. Even a player like Messi does nothing to face Chu Zhongtian, let alone others.

Aguero continued to pass the ball across the side, and this time he moved to the right side. Juan Fran received the ball.

Although Atletico Madrid moved the football from the left to the right, Real Madrid's defense was not messy. Chu Zhongtian saw that the football was on the right, so he stopped following him. He was afraid that Atletico Madrid would use the "scheming of the tiger from the mountain."

When Juan Fran saw that Chu Zhongtian did not come, he did not realize his intention to open him from the middle lane, and it was difficult to pass the football back again. So he fell from the left to the right in front of the penalty area in the world, and then from the right to the left... He simply broke through from the side lane. Flores asked them to use the side lane as a feint to attract Chu Zhongtian to leave the defense zone, but if they just fell back like this, it would be strange if the opponent was willing to come out. Of course, it was necessary to create some threats on the side lane so that the opponent's defense line might loosen.

So you have to look for opportunities from the sidelines.

Marcelo was not far from Juan Fran, and he didn't come up to force him because he was worried that he would be shaken by the other party.

Juan Fran looked at Marcelo and could not find a flaw to break through. The Brazilian fullback is becoming more and more mature. Remember what he looked like when he first came to Real Madrid? He was always broken through in defense. For a while, Real Madrid's head coach Juande Ramos asked Marcelo to play the full-back, not the full-back. Mourinho was very distrustful when he first took office and advised Florentino to buy another world-class left back. However, the excellent left backs in football are so rare that they did not buy them in the end. Instead, Marcelo's explosion was achieved. He suddenly became mature under Mourinho, and he had a good offense and had a good set of offense and defense, and quickly grew into the top left back in the La Liga.

Juan Fran did not fight Marcelo head-on. He just made a move to break through. After tricking Marcelo to recycle it, he decisively made a cross!

Because it was a cross in a hurry and the quality was not high, it was pushed out by central defender Pepe.

In this game, the center back who partnered with Pepe was not Carvalho, but Albiol.

Strictly speaking, Mourinho's Real Madrid is not even the main lineup that swept La Liga. First, the main striker Higuain failed, followed by the main midfielder Aaronso absent due to injury, and then Kaka and Carvalho took a rotation and rest.

Flores attaches great importance to this game. Judging from this starting lineup, Mourinho seems to be less important to Flores.

Or he thinks that this lineup can defeat Atletico Madrid.

Pepe pushed the football out.

The football fell at Chu Zhongtian's feet.

Flores' pupils shrank when he saw this scene. He stared at Chu Zhongtian and paid close attention to his next move. If Chu Zhongtian wanted to drive the ball forward by himself, he would be disdainful of all costs to stop him and then directly hit the gap behind him. In the league, Chu Zhongtian has done this a lot. He often dribbled the ball and ran out by himself when the situation was not open. The same is true in the Champions League. How did Inter Milan lose the game? It was because they were not prepared to insert the back of Chu Zhongtian.

And Flores thought he was well prepared.

The young midfielder Camacho and Raul Garcia will form a clamping and defense against Chu Zhongtian.

The midfielder's goal is very fatal.

Of course, Chu Zhongtian knew this. He focused on stability in this game, and the risky things he took were Ozil, C. Ronaldo, Di Maria and others.

After he got the ball, he turned around and passed the ball to Di Maria on the wing.

I still didn't drive the ball forward.

Flores frowned and shook his head, disappointed. How could you do this? How could you do this? You should drive the ball and kill! Chu!

Chu Zhongtian couldn't hear the voice in his heart. After he passed the football to Di Maria, he did run up, but the amplitude of the pressure was very limited. Ozil retreated a little, so he did not disconnect the back and front midfielder.

※※After twenty minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid still did not find a way to open Real Madrid's defense line. Most of the time, they could only seek breakthroughs on the wing. After failing, they moved from this wing to the other side, and passed through the area where Chu Zhongtian was. But that's all.

The ball possession rate so far in the TV screen played in the game, with Atletico Madrid leading 36% of Real Madrid with 64%.

"Ah... Mourinho's team once again has a disadvantage in ball possession rate... Atletico Madrid's offensive is very strong, but in fact there is no threat at all!" said the commentator of Marca Radio. "I suddenly have an idea that if Flores can see this ball possession rate, then he should be careful. Real Madrid is obviously continuing to have strength and looking for opportunities. If you continue to suppress it like this, I'm afraid there will be problems behind them..."

"But Flores must think that Chu would not be able to suppress his defense line. Did he forget Ozil? Also, Ronaldo and Di Maria, Adebayo is also a physical and skilled center. Any of these four people can create a threat to their defense line..."

Atletico Madrid fans didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Anyway, they saw their team suppressing their archenemy Real Madrid on the scene, which made them full of confidence, so they sang loudly in the stands.

However, not all commentators are as confident in Mourinho as the commentators of Radio Marca.

Some people also complained about Mourinho's conservative tactics... "I thought he was playing a single midfielder to have a brave attack with Atletico Madrid, but I didn't expect that Real Madrid would defend carefully most of the time in the game... Mourinho's boring conservative football is here again! I think this is why so many people in the world like our Barcelona football and delay Mourinho's football!" The commentator of Catalonia did not forget to tout his team, although the team he supported did not even enter the Copa del Rey final.

"Real Madrid has a large group of talented attackers, but under Mourinho's rule, they can only be turtles! Chu is a very talented midfielder, but now he is doing the dirty work of interception, like a blue-collar worker! And what about Di Maria? He is now running back and forth between the upper and lower ends of the wing without listening, where can he have the strength to dribble the ball and assist? Cruyff is right. Real Madrid is fully capable of doing better, and it is Mourinho's cowardly heart that restricts them!"

It seemed quite reasonable when I heard it suddenly. Anyone who knows Real Madrid knows that if he really does what the Catalan commentator said, Real Madrid may not lose to Atletico Madrid, but when he encounters Barcelona, ​​he will definitely lose badly. This is no longer "shoulder hurt when he stands and speaks without a back pain". This is the intention to hope that Real Madrid will do what they say, and that Real Madrid will not be a threat to Barcelona.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian did not think that Real Madrid has less ball possession rate. The precise data calculated is one thing, and his own feelings are another. In fact, Madrid has many ball possessions that are back and forth in front of Real Madrid's defense. As long as they can not find loopholes, this kind of cross is regarded as meaningless ball possession by Chu Zhongtian. The truly valuable ball possession is reflected in the offense. Who said Mourinho's football is conservative? Every attack is extremely sharp, as if it can pierce the enemy's chest. So far this season, 98 goals have been scored in thirty-three rounds of the league, only two away from the 100-ball mark. Barcelona, ​​who is considered to be the ultimate representative of offensive football, scored 105 goals in the 2008-2009 season, so why is Real Madrid, which is about to break 100 goals, is it conservative?

If Real Madrid can score a goal, the suspense of this game will be much smaller. After all, facing Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid still has some psychological advantages. Atletico Madrid must also have psychological shadows. They have temporarily suppressed the shadows, but as long as they fall behind, the shadows will tenaciously struggle to climb out from the bottom of their hearts and spread in everyone's hearts.

Judging from the situation, opportunities exist, but Chu Zhongtian saw these opportunities but could not make a decision, because he could only control the rhythm and offensive direction on the field. How to implement them depends on Ozil and other teammates.

He believes that Ozil's ability can also see these opportunities. The problem is that Ozil's body is weak and his ball protection ability is insufficient. Once he encounters the opponent's tough physical confrontation, his ball control and passing ability will be greatly reduced.

This is Ozil's biggest problem and the fatal factor that restricts him from becoming a world-class midfielder. The way he has taken now is to avoid, using his flexible body shape and short-distance acceleration to avoid these physical collisions. But if the opponent deliberately wants you to lie down, he can escape the first day of the lunar calendar and the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

There have been several times when he passed the football to Ozil, but Ozil was squeezed away by the opponent's body. Sometimes the referee would call Atletico Madrid foul, so at least Real Madrid could get a free kick in the frontcourt. c. Ronaldo could use the free kick to threaten Atletico Madrid's goal. But more often the opponent was rushing reasonably, but because Ozil was not strong enough, he was squeezed to the ground. The referee would ignore such a fall.

Chu Zhongtian was wondering whether he would take a risk, press forward and participate in an attack, and help Ozil resolve the situation?

He was very hesitant. After all, no matter what he said before, he had a partner who could protect him, but was Proman in Metz or Lorik Senna in Hoffenheim.

There is no such person around him in this game.

※※Flores discovered that Real Madrid's offense is now in a dilemma. It seems that his adjustment to Ozil is correct. Ozil's health is not good. This is what everyone knows. Once he encounters a tough defense, his performance will be greatly reduced. At the same time, the season is coming to an end, and his physical fitness is not as good as at the beginning of the season, and his running on the court is not very active.

Under the combined effect of these factors, Ozil's performance in Real Madrid's offense is not outstanding.

As long as Real Madrid is restricted in their offense, they will sooner or later have loopholes in their defense. Flores feels more and more that there is greater hope of winning this game.

Mourinho sat in the coaching seat and he didn't seem to have expected that Ozil was not in good shape. But to be honest, Mourinho would rather think that this is because Atletico Madrid's rude play restricted Ozil's possession.

But how to change this?

Ozil is trying hard to get rid of those defensive players, but this will only suck his physical fitness in vain. His physical fitness is not good enough, if you make such a struggle, you will probably have to change to the second half...※※※ Chu Zhongtian decided to bypass Ozil directly. Who said that he could not organize an attack in the backcourt?

It's just that the passing distance is longer and more accurate. Chu Zhongtian is confident to achieve that.

Let Ozil continue to pretend to be a specific offensive organizer in the front to attract Atletico Madrid's defensive attention, and then send out a deadly long pass and direct pass from behind. As long as the timing is well grasped, it is no less than letting the front midfielder organize the offense in the front... This is called "the mantis stalks the cicada oriole behind"!

After making up his mind, Chu Zhongtian began to pay close attention to the situation on the court.

Atletico Madrid's defense is obviously revolving around Ozil. Wherever Ozil is, their defensive focus is, because they know very well that Real Madrid's current character in charge of organizing the offense is the German midfielder, not Chu Zhongtian.

Most of the time, Atletico Madrid's defense is very good and very rigorous. But there are always exceptions. There is no strict defense in this world anytime and anywhere, not to mention Atletico Madrid is not good at this kind of thing at all. Mourinho's team is better... As long as there is a chance, Ozil attracts Atletico Madrid players to one place, and he passes the football to another pass, and must directly penetrate Atletico Madrid's defense line and send it directly to

At the feet of the offensive player, it is best to let him face the goalkeeper directly and form a one-on-one strike... Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Ozil to try Atletico Madrid's reaction. Sure enough, two players rushed up to press Ozil, and another player assisted in defense nearby. Ozil was trapped in the siege of three players. There was no problem with his skills, but if the opponent used his physical confrontation... that would be a different matter.

Ozil was hit from the side and lost his balance. Then another Atletico Madrid player quickly stabbed the football away from his feet. At this time, the player who assisted in defense rushed up and robbed the football away.

The process is very fast, and the three of them divide the work and work together, and they are very skilled. It is obviously trained.

As for Ozil who has fallen to the ground, no one cares about it. Anyway, the referee didn't yell, which means they didn't foul!

The Atletico Madrid defender who robbed the football immediately passed the football to Camacho, who sent the football up.

Chu Zhongtian knew completely that Atletico Madrid's defense against Ozil had reached a tight level. It would be difficult to get Ozil to get rid of these people. But this was just right. Ozil helped him and other Real Madrid teammates to attract Atletico Madrid's defensive attention. This is a very serious problem. However, Atletico Madrid's defenders were only satisfied with marking Ozil and cutting off Real Madrid's offensive line. They did not realize... they had to use it as soon as possible.

※※※At the 31st minute, this opportunity has come.

Atletico Madrid organized an attack, but Juan Fran was only concerned about avoiding Chu Zhongtian when he was crossing the cross, but ignored other Real Madrid players. His cross pass was too close to Real Madrid's back line and was intercepted by Pepe who suddenly inserted it.

Seeing that Pepe successfully intercepted the ball, Chu Zhongtian turned around and ran forward.

Pepe also noticed Chu Zhongtian's actions and quickly passed the football over.

"Real Madrid's counterattack!"

"Chu got the ball!"

The commentators shouted one after another.

Atletico Madrid players immediately formed two forces at this moment, one force hit Chu Zhongtian, and the other closely watched Ozil.

The football came from behind, and Chu Zhongtian spread his legs to get the football in front of him. Then he did not continue to dribble the ball, but passed it directly... directly!

The football suddenly accelerated and rushed out against the turf.

Neither Camacho nor Raul Garcia could stop the pass because Chu Zhongtian passed too suddenly!

Football penetrated Atletico Madrid's midfield defense.

Next is the back line!

The direction of Chu Zhongtian's passing was exactly the opposite of Ozil's running position, so the defenders of Atletico Madrid were all concentrated on Ozil's side. There was only one defender in front of the football, and the distance was still a bit far... This was a very, very obvious gap! He was caught by Chu Zhongtian!

The football passed five meters ahead of the Atletico Madrid defender, and he was completely helpless except to watch.

At the same time, behind him, a white figure flashed by... "Cristiano Ronaldo!!"

"No offside! No offside at all!"

Ronaldo caught up with Chu Zhongtian's pass, and there was no one in front except for one goal and goalkeeper De Gea.

Such an opportunity is like practicing playing during training.

Facing De Gea who was attacking, Ronaldo took the lead and the football went straight to the far corner of the goal from De Gea... Everyone's eyes followed the football, seeing whether it finally hit the post and bounced out, or it directly went out, or... hit the net with one head!

The forward momentum of football was stopped by the ball net!

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Real Madrid led by one goal in the Copa del Rey final!!"
Chapter completed!
