Chapter 67 It's Ribery again

A huge boo sounded from the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium, and rushed to the court from the towering stands, putting huge pressure on the visiting fans playing here.

In fact, the fans of the Bernabeu are relatively "gentle" than those of the Nou Camp. There are not many boos for the visiting team here, except for several mortal enemies of Real Madrid. The nottingham Forest, as a mortal enemy, was booed like this here mainly because of George Wood.

He just pushed Robinho, who was dribbling the ball, hard during a high-speed run.

The Brazilian bicycle boy was as flexible as a loach. He took advantage of Wood's carelessness and dribbled the ball from him. Wood, who was stuck behind him, wanted to stop the opponent's attack, so he would definitely not be able to use conventional means. He chose the latter after tackles and pushing people behind him.

Robinho flipped several times on the ground, which looked quite scary, but in fact he was not injured at all. It was just that the home team fans were very dissatisfied with this seemingly scary foul, and even more dissatisfied that the referee only gave a verbal warning and did not take out the cards.

Compared with the current Brazilian Robinho, he has become much stronger when he first landed in Real Madrid and can also gain the upper hand in most physical confrontations. It is not easy for ordinary defensive players to easily push him down. But he lost his center of gravity after being pushed by George Wood. It can only be said that the physical strength gap between the two people is too obvious...

Defending Robinho is just a temporary replacement. George Wood's target is not this Brazilian boy, but Guti.

After Zidane retired, Real Madrid's offense was once in a chaotic situation. There was no routine or goal at all. It was all up to the players' personal abilities. If they played well, they could win. If they couldn't play well, any team would dare to lose. This situation gradually changed after a season. Because the new head coach Schuster gave Guti enough trust last season, he straightened him and became the real Madrid midfield engine.

Over the past season, almost all Real Madrid's offenses have been launched by Guti. Guti is in good shape. Not only is Real Madrid no problem to win, but they will also win beautifully. But if Guti doesn't work, then Real Madrid will die very ugly...

Don’t look at Sneijder in excellent form at the beginning of the season. He was praised; don’t look at Robinho wearing Real Madrid’s No. 10 jersey and being called the “Heir of Pele”; not to mention Real Madrid’s frontcourt is full of stars and looks very good and powerful... In fact, without Guti launching an attack from behind and controlling the rhythm, this team is no different from a set of loose sand.

So in response to this situation, Donn arranged the tactics to curb Guti before the game.

George Wood is of course the main character, but other teammates will also come to help - not help with defense. But help with fouls.

Guti is a talented but unruly-descending player. His early career was never valued, which has a lot to do with his personality. It was not until Zidane left that he slowly got over it. He became the core of Real Madrid's midfield. But now he still has a bad temper and is prone to emotional out of control. Once his emotions are out of control, his level will be greatly reduced and his active mistakes will increase. Then his temper is even more irritable... This has caused Real Madrid's offensive quality to plummet.

Therefore, the Forest's tactics are very simple in this game. Nottingham Forest plays a defensive counterattack on offense, and the defense mainly involves angering and locking Guti. It is best to be able to anger him. If you can't be angry, use the overall defense advantage to trap him, making it impossible for him to calmly take the ball and organize the attack.

Technically, Guti's advantage is that he is good at finding loopholes in the opponent's defense and making unexpected direct passes. His penetrating direct pass helped the team score many times. But his weakness is also obvious - his body is weak. He is not strong in confrontation. Once the opponent uses close-fitting pressure and adds some physical collision interference, his chance of losing the ball under his feet will increase greatly.

Robinho was just a pure accident. Originally Wood was going to guard against Guti, but Guti stabbed the football to Robinho first. Wood had to change the target to the cyclist closest to him. He had no time to fight with Robinho. After being squeezed to the side, he immediately pushed Robinho to the ground, ending a Real Madrid attack.

He adhered to his usual style that made people hate him - he did not go up and stretched out his hand to pull Robinho up to show friendship. Instead, he turned around and walked away.

Robinho lay alone on the ground for a while, and the referee came up to ask him if he had anything to do. He stood up slowly if he needed a stretcher or something. He was indeed not injured. This kind of rolling looked scary. In fact, it was because of this that he would not be hurt too much, because the impact was removed during the rolling process.

The booing in the Bernabeu stands continued until Real Madrid was preparing to take a free kick in the frontcourt.

At Real Madrid's current No. 23, Sneider drove the free kick into the penalty area and asked Pepe to push it out. The football fell at the front of the penalty area, which immediately caused a snatch.

Finally, Van der Fate brought the ball out in chaos, and he handed it over to David Beckham who was responding diagonally in front of him.

When Beckham got the football, there was a burst of applause in the stands. The applause did not come from the visiting team Nottingham Forest fans' stands, but from the home team fans.

The fans thanked him for his efforts to regain the league title in his final season.

This scene really touched the bystanders. But for Beckham, it has nothing to do with him. He wants to thank Real Madrid fans for their love and will have to wait until after the game. Now he is wearing a Nottingham Forest jersey with a ball under his feet. His teammates are actively running forward and preparing to fight back - it is not the time to show mercy!

A long pass!

Van Nistruei lad to the side and received the ball. Ribery was plugging in at high speed. His attack attracted the attention of Real Madrid defenders. Diarra was following him and Cannavaro also focused on him. Van Nistruei passed the ball to his forward partner Eastwood.

Eastwood is outside the penalty area, close to the middle, and no one is taking care of it for the time being.                                                  �

The quality of the shot was quite high! Casillas, who was fully focused on defense, so he took the ball out with one hand. Although he didn't go in, he was shocked to take a breath of air on the Bernabeu Stadium.

Eastwood exerted force on the spot, without running aid, and was driven by the body's backwardness and waist and abdomen. The shot suddenly. If Casillas had not been in excellent condition, if someone else was there to guard the goal, he might have really let him in...

Compared with the offensive lineup that shines with dazzling light, Real Madrid's defense is a bit pitiful. In this game, Schuster used Cannavaro and Heinze to play the central defender partner, Marcelo on the left back and Ramos on the right back. Among these four people, both full-backs are people who like to attack, and the central defender partner lacks height, which is very difficult to defend against high-altitude balls. In addition, Heinze is not a genuine central defender. He is a guest appearance as a central defender, and the left back is his best position, so it is not difficult to imagine what level he can play in this position...

Real Madrid's defensive problems have not been fundamentally improved, basically all relying on Cannavaro's own state. The former World Footballer is in good shape, and Real Madrid's back line looks like a little bit. If it is not in good condition... No matter how powerful Casillas is, he can only accept the humiliation of picking up balls from the net.

In this game, Real Madrid will adopt offensive tactics at their home court. When they press in front of their defense, there will be a lot of room behind them. The Forest's offensive tactics are very simple. They are just to find ways to hit the opponent behind them. Use Beckham's long pass, or Van der Fate's pass, and high-speed cuttings from both sides to create and find room. As long as their players have a stronger ability to seize opportunities, it is not impossible to conquer the Bernabeu.

Nottingham Forest's corner kick was taken, and there was a chaotic moment in front of the goal, but no one could hit the ball, so Casillas was confiscated directly. Casillas, who got the ball, threw the ball and launched a fast attack, trying to fight Nottingham Forest's counterattack.

He threw the ball to Higuain in front. Higuain originally planned to catch the ball and turn around, but the football was stabbed by George Wood around the front defense.

Higuain turned around and got rid of Wood, but there was no ball under his feet. Nottingham Forest took advantage of the situation to launch an attack again. At the same time, Pepe and Pique ran back to the back line. Real Madrid's fast break did not start. Instead, the Forest team was pressed in its half.

Real Madrid's defense is relatively negative, and the negative does not mean that they work hard. It is because they are used to retreating near the penalty area line and then setting up a defensive team. This way, their defense lacks depth and is easily penetrated. In fact, this is also a common problem for most La Liga teams. The football style and national characteristics determine that they advocate attack more and ignore defense.

The result of their defense now is that Nottingham Forest can pass the ball anywhere outside their 30-meter area, and find opportunities without much pressure. If Real Madrid can't stand it and want to push it out and grab it, pass it back. The compressed formation gradually pulls back. After pulling it apart, pull Real Madrid out. As long as their formation is pulled apart, in the eyes of the Forest team, the loophole is a lot of catches, and it depends on whether they can grasp it.

Considering the height and air defense capabilities of Real Madrid's back line, Donn asked the Forest team to mainly attack with high balls in this game to compete for the second landing point.

Through his research on Real Madrid, he believes that Real Madrid players are not too concerned about the second place in defense. Van Nisstruy does not have to be an offensive ground arrow. He mainly serves as a bridgehead and a tactical center.

There is a kind of ability in Van Nistruey, and this ability is gradually decreasing for many forwards now.

That is, as a real center, Van Nisstruy can not only shoot by himself, but also his body and skills can ensure that he controls the football in the encirclement, waits for his teammates to support him, and then passes the football to his teammates who get the opportunity. When needed, he can push up and suppress the opponent's entire defense line, or withdraw from the opponent's defense to create opportunities for his companions... Simply put, centers like Van Nisstruy will take the ball with their backs on their backs, and now many forwards will basically do nothing once they turn their backs to the offensive direction.

In fact, this is also the difference between "forward" and "center". Eastwood is the forward, and Van Nisstruy should be considered the center.

Beckham once again passed the football into the penalty area, and Ramos played the role of central defender this time, and he jumped up and pushed the football out.

The second landing point was asked by the Forest Team to get it.

Van der Fate distributed the football to Ribery. Ribery attracted the attention of the opponent on the side, and Gareth Bale inserted at high speed. Diara, who ran to the side to make up for the position, hesitated for a moment and chose to follow Bale back. He let go of Ribery's defense. Ribery took this opportunity to dribble horizontally and shot.

Cannavaro immediately blocked her body.

But Ribery just flicked the ball and assigned the football to Van der Fate's feet in the middle.

Van der Fate also made a long shot, which caused Heinze, a particularly excited defender, to fall to the ground and shovel.

But the football has already rolled to the feet of Beckham on the right.

After walking around and then back.

As soon as Beckham got the ball, he attracted the attention of two Real Madrid players. Marcelo blocked him directly, while Sneider was responsible for protecting the middle.

When Rafinia saw the ball on the right, she stepped forward without hesitation, and he attracted Marcelo's attention. As a result, Marcelo retreated and Sneider came over to fill the position with a tacit understanding.

Just when Sneijder came up to steal, Beckham passed the ball. It was not a direct high ball to pass the penalty area, but a straight shot!

It was not passed to Rafinia on the right, but to behind Sneijder - George Wood!

That's right, George Wood decisively inserted the gap and received a pass from Beckham.

"George Wood! He appeared on the ribs of the Real Madrid defense!"

After receiving the ball, Wood did not pass the ball and did not continue to lead forward. He suddenly took a strong shot!

The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal like a cannonball.

George Wood rarely shoots like this. Casillas hastily just rapped the football out and has not yet pounced on the bottom line. Because the ball Wood shot was a little outwardly... Maybe he was going to make a cross but turned into a shot...

The football was thrown by Casillas, but it bounced towards the front of the door.

This scene shocked countless people in the Bernabeu's stands exclaimed.

Van Nistruy broke out from the crowd and headed the ball!

The football flew towards the goal. But in front of the goal line, Ramos, who was running back, kicked out. The football flew out of the penalty area, and the second landing point was still obtained by Nottingham Forest. Van der Fate shot directly but missed. The football rubbed the turf and turned to the left. If no one blocked it, the ball would roll out of the bottom line like this, and that would be a false alarm...

A leg suddenly stretched out from the crowd and the ball was steadily cut in the future!

"Frank Ribery! He stopped the ball!" the commentator exclaimed.

Casillas' reaction speed was really fast. He jumped up from the hand as soon as he landed, and rushed to the back corner, intending to do this attack by the Forest team.

Ribery did not hesitate at all, turned around and swung his feet, exerted force on the spot to pull the football towards the goal...

At the same time, Casillas soared into the air and rushed towards the football.

He was half a beat slower...

The football flew over before he got his hands and put it on the net straight!

"The ball went in-"

Accompanied by the commentator's shouting, the Bernabeu suddenly became quiet in that moment.

Only nine minutes and eighteen seconds into the opening game, Real Madrid's gate was lost.

The arrogant Real Madrid people couldn't accept it for a while.

"This defense is really bad!" Shuster, who was sitting on the coach's seat, slapped angrily and complained to the assistant coach beside him. "I need a central defender, but they brought me a Robben who can't play..."

Ribery was celebrating this goal wildly. Schuster's brows became tighter and tighter. He thought of recent rumors, after the end of this season. When he still needs a defender, will Mijatovics and others bring him another Ribery?

Everyone around Tony Donn was celebrating the lead, he was the same. But soon he put down his arms. Because he turned around and saw the rostrum above the stands. Like Schuster, he also thought of the recent rumors. Will Ribery perform so well in front of the Real Madrid president, further stimulate them to poach?

After this season, I'm afraid he will have no holiday...
Chapter completed!
