April 1st, April Fool's Day.

On this day, the Bernabéu Stadium, located in the center of the Spanish capital Madrid, is staged a peak duel.

This is a focus game that attracts worldwide attention, because the two teams participating are the most interesting teams in the UEFA Champions League this season. They are Real Madrid from La Liga and Super Saints from the Premier League. , Southampton.

As early as mid-March, when Platini's claws were taken out of the glass tank, representing the small **** of Southampton and Real Madrid, everyone was shocked!

These two teams are the team with the most goals in the Champions League this season and the second most.

But some people jokingly said that this is quite in line with UEFA's long-standing lottery principle.

That is to let the stars encounter the old club!

Ancelotti still had a four-three-three tactic in this game. The goalkeeper is Diego Lopez, the defense is Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Carvajal, and the three midfielders are Di Maria, Xavi Alonso and Vidal.

The front court trident is Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Gareth Bale.

Among the eleven starters, three players are from Southampton, namely Carvajal, Vidal and Gareth Bale. It can be seen that this Real Madrid team is also deeply carved with the mark of Saints. .

Bielsa's team was also unwilling to be outdone, and still ranked the four-three-three tactic.

The goalkeeper is Neuer, and the back line is David Alaba, Xavi Martinez, Varane and Danilo.

The midfield is a combination of Modric, Tony Cross and Kaka.

After the Brazilian superstar played Galatasaray in the second round of the knockout round, Bielsa continued to arrange for him to start this game, and James Rodríguez played the entire game in the league last weekend.

In multi-line combat, proper rotation is necessary, otherwise, the players' physical strength will be overwhelming.

The Trident in the frontcourt has been adjusted. Because Hazard was slightly injured, Bielsa did not arrange for the Belgian to enter the squad, instead Suarez.

Ibrahimović sits in the middle and Chilean winger Sanchez is on the right.

Obviously, Bielsa's arrangement is more based on experience.

The combination of Suarez and Sturridge in the Premier League is indeed very strong, but their performance in the Champions League is relatively average, and Sturridge lacks the experience of the Champions League, but Sanchez has more experience in this area.

Regardless of the greetings between the players of the two sides before the game, it is very close to each other, Kaka walked into the players of Real Madrid and drove with Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Di Maria. joke.

Gareth Bale, Carvajal and Vidal also came to greet coach Bielsa and Southampton players. The relationship between them seemed very close and they would not become unfamiliar because of the transfer.

But when the whistle of the game sounded, the two sides immediately went all out, with swords drawn, and there was a rush to put the other side to death.

Although it is an away game, Southampton is not conservative at all.

And Real Madrid at home is also eager to win the opponent in the first round at home, so they are also very active.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the two sides fought very fiercely, and you came and went against each other.

But despite the fact that both teams are pulling up the pace one after another, bayonet sees blood facing each other, but in fact, both sides' play is very targeted.

The three lines in Southampton are relatively balanced, but the problem still exists.

Because Bielsa insists on using a combination of technical double defensive midfielders, the three lines must be pressed as tightly as possible to avoid giving Real Madrid players too many opportunities to hit the defensive zone with the ball.

But Real Madrid's players are generally characterized by wide openness, especially like Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, who are the type that needs space to play their speed advantage and impact.

Therefore, in theory, Southampton is quite unwilling to face a team like Real Madrid.

But Real Madrid's problem is also very obvious, that is defense, especially the defense of the midfield.

Harvey Alonso is not young. Whether it is running ability or defensive ability, he has obviously fallen a lot from his youth. But in the current Real Madrid team, he is still a single midfielder.

Vidal's joining has achieved a very important balance on both offense and defense, but it is still not enough.

Fortunately, Real Madrid’s biggest discovery last season was that Ancelotti successfully transformed Di Maria from a winger to a midfielder, and unearthed his contribution and role on the defensive end. Real Madrid's entire midfield has reached a delicate balance.

However, on the back line, the two full-backs were mainly active in assists. The combination of central defenders Ramos and Pepe is the style of the runaway group. It is always difficult to be reassuring, and it is far from stable.

In the goalkeeper position, the captain Casillas was taken and replaced by Diego Lopez, which is not a big problem.

Therefore, Bielsa's game strategy is to attack.

Make your defense make mistakes through the high-intensity frontcourt press and pressure that Southampton is best at.

And Ancelotti took the same thought.

Because this is the Bernabéu Stadium, with Real Madrid's consistent style, as long as the opening goal is the first to score, then this game will win the game.

As a result, the two sides set up a fast pace from the beginning, and were happily playing the capture.

The coaches of the two teams also appeared on the sidelines, keeping an eye on the situation and making adjustments from time to time.

...

"Tony Cross made a long diagonal pass and found Sanchez on the right side accurately!"

"The Chilean winger is very fast. He gets the ball, cuts inside, picks a pass..."

"Diego Lopez strikes, beautiful, got the ball!"

"Southampton's attack was very fast this time, but Real Madrid's defensive players responded very quickly."

"Diego Lopez quickly delivered the goal kick to Marcelo, and Sanchez countered the goal immediately!"

"Southampton seems to have a very positive anti-robbing determination. Ibrahimovic also put pressure on the two central defenders in the middle. As a last resort, Ramos knocked the ball back to the goalkeeper."

"Ibrahimović was going to fight the goalkeeper, Diego Lopez kicked the ball to the right with a big foot.

"Vidal returned to defense and competed with Kaka for the top, neither of them grabbed it..."

The ball passed over the heads of Kaka and Vidal, and landed behind them.

Modric came in quickly from behind, before everyone else, intercepted the ball.

This is the first time Vidal has encountered his old club after leaving the Saints. He has a very strong fighting spirit. At the same time, he is also very aware of Modric's abilities, so as soon as he landed, he rushed towards Modric.

Kaka also ran away as soon as he landed, but he wanted to run the pass angle for Modric, while raising his right hand, "Luca, here!"

Modric didn't dare to fight Vidal one-on-one, because he knew the Chilean midfielder too well. He was entangled by this guy and had to peel off his skin without dying. So he didn't wait for Vidal to get close. He passed the ball to Kaka in front.

After Kaka received the ball, Harvey Alonso next to him also ran over to defend him.

But as soon as the Brazilian superstar catches the ball, he takes advantage of the trend and immediately accelerates the sprint forward.

Harvey Alonso couldn't keep up with Kaka's acceleration.

Seeing that Kaka was about to leave Harvey Alonso behind, both Carvajal and Ramos had to keep a distance, ready to block Kaka's route anytime, anywhere.

But Kaka was very calm, the corner of his eye swept to the left, and Suarez had already followed like a ghost.

As a result, the Brazilian star immediately made a judgment, and Yi Gao was bold and accelerated again, rushing to the crowd with the ball.

As soon as Kaka sprinted, Harvey Alonso couldn't keep up, and Carvajal and Ramos immediately sealed them like door gods.

But just when Kaka was about to enter the penalty area, he suddenly braked and pulled out of the gap with the defensive player. After continuous adjustment of his left and right feet, he split the ball to the left.

Suarez knew it, and quickly cut into the penalty area along the left rib, and received a pass from Kaka.

Speaking of reaction, Carvajal and Ramos' reaction was not fast enough. They immediately threw Kaka to Harvey Alonso. The two quickly turned and rushed towards the small penalty area. Carvajal was the first. Close to Su Yalei for a while.

But who is Suarez?

A typical South American player of thieves!

He seemed to have expected that Carvajal would rush over, another emergency stop, his left and right foot spikes, swayed Carvajal, after a gap, a push shot in the back of his right foot!

The ball passed between Carvajal and Ramos, followed a straight line, and hit the inside of the right goal post. After turning in one direction, the ball hit the goal, one to zero!

"!!!"

Suarez rushed out of the restricted area of ​​Real Madrid excitedly, his mouth opened wide in excitement, and kept making strange noises.

Southampton players from all around also swarmed, and the Uruguayan forwards were surrounded by groups.

This goal, the cooperation of the Southampton players is wonderful, but more importantly, it is the embodiment of the players' personal ability.

If it weren’t for Kakayi’s boldness and the courage to take the ball alone, attract the attention of three defensive players, and then divide the ball to Suarez, if it wasn’t for Suarez to be savvy enough to face Carvajal, calm down An emergency stop adjustment makes it impossible for this ball to have a shooting angle.

Even if Suarez chooses not the far corner, but the near corner, not to mention that Carvajal and Ramos have blocked most of the shooting angles, and Diego Lopez is also stuck in position. The only little gap was blocked.

If Suarez hits a close corner, the ball either hits Carvajal and Ramos or is hugged by goalkeeper Diego Lopez, it is impossible to score.

But the truly top players have this ability to turn corruption into magic, and they can just rely on their own tyrannical strength in this impossible environment to make the impossible possible!

At this moment, the entire Bernabéu stadium became deadly silent.

Countless Real Madrid fans stared blankly at the celebratory players on the pitch.

That's not a Real Madrid player!

Yang Huan was sitting on the chairman stand of the Bernabéu Stadium. When he saw Suarez score a goal, he was so excited that he jumped up from his seat, clapped vigorously and cheered excitedly.

"It's wonderful, beautiful, Suarez! Wow!"

Florentino, who was sitting next to him, seemed to feel the pressure from the Bernabéu fans, sitting there blankly, looking at the bottom of the stadium, a little bit sigh.

Suarez, Modric, these two players are both of Real Madrid.

But at that time, Real Madrid's consideration was too much and too complicated, resulting in the two players being cut by Southampton.

There is also Kaka. This player who has been sentenced to death in Real Madrid has become the hero of Southampton’s Champions League this season. The attack just now shows his strength and vision~www.wuxiaspot .com~Yes, Kaka is no longer the Kaka of the year, but his strength, consciousness, and knowledge are still there.

He used this assist to tell the Bernabéu stadium that had given him pain.

I am still me, but you did not give me enough patience!

Thinking of this, Florentino felt a fire gushing out in his heart.

When Yang Huan returned to the position with a smile again, Florentino also made a decision.

"Master Huan, in a word, how much is Suarez? We bought it!"

"what?"

Yang Huan, who hadn't withdrawn from the excitement of scoring, was directly dumbfounded!

It turns out that in this world, there are really people who are more tyrants than me, and they are wayward!
