Football’s First Defender

In the internal training match, Yang Feng cooperated with Casemiro quite tacitly, or in other words, Casemiro cooperated with Yang Feng quite easily.

Although to be honest, I feel sorry for other central defenders, but in Casemiro's feeling, partnering with Yang Feng is definitely better than other teammates. Yang Feng's filling speed and awareness of filling can make Casemiro feel at ease Boldly go for the tackle and put more defensive pressure on the offensive player.

In fact, regarding the point of grabbing, Casemiro also knows that Ramos and Pepe's grabbing ability is not bad. When the two can show their best performance, they can't be said to be worse than Yang Feng. Still on the same level.

However, Casemiro is also well aware of the "unreliable" of the previous defender teammates.

Needless to say, Ramos has always had strong offensive attributes throughout his career because he debuted as a full-back.

Even though the main central defender is now, in the game, he is also very offensive.

The key is Ramos' offensiveness, unlike the previous offensive central defenders, like Lucio back then, he went to the frontcourt to participate in a long shot.

Ramos's offensive participation method, occasionally he really uses himself as a striker, and even breaks into the opponent's goal in a sports game.

Ramos's offensive method is a double-edged sword, which hurts both the enemy and himself.

In the game, Ramos' offensive advance, including the threat in the set ball, can provide Real Madrid with a very good offensive method.

Sometimes, Ramos' forward penetration can completely disrupt the opponent's defense line. He lives by himself to help his teammates create offensive space and complete the goal.

Ramos' offensive threat and "forward" nature in the penalty area also contributed a lot of wonderful offenses in the game.

And the peak goal, of course, determined the absolute tie in the final stoppage time of the tenth regular time of Real Madrid's Champions League, which was the most glorious moment of Ramos as a "forward".

However, there are highlight moments, and of course there are also "dinner" highlights.

The double-edged sword of Ramos' excellent offensive ability, the side that hurts himself, is that Ramos sometimes participates too deeply on the offensive end, which makes the team lack sufficient protection on the defense line when the offense and defense switch.

Especially in the absence of a central defender, it will directly lead to too much space in Real Madrid's defense line, and the opponent will use the width of the court to directly chase and counterattack.

Every season, Ramos is definitely the main contributor to the performance of Real Madrid's "defense team", because his offensive position is too high, and he is hit by the opponent's counterattack. Flying, trying to complete the chase, but in the end it just became the background board for the opponent's goal.

As for the problems of Varane and Pepe, although they are not as big as Ramos, there are still some minor problems.

For example, as a "field-controlling" central defender, Varane also doesn't like to attack, but in positional defense, he may play a good defensive role, but in the face of the opponent's counterattack, even if he is flexible enough as a central defender, he can face it. For the opponent's forward player, he is inevitably at a disadvantage in terms of speed and flexibility. When defending the opponent's counterattack, he usually has more than enough understanding but not enough strength.

And Pepe's point is that time makes people grow old.

When the physical condition is not as good as the peak, although the "monk" of the year has gradually shown his Buddha nature and started to use his experience to play football in the game, but in essence, Pepe is still a grab-and-go central defender.

Pepe's attack is exactly the same as that of Ramos. You can't say that they don't have accurate judgment. Facing opponents of the same level, such as Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid these years, the latter has certain threats from Valencia and Seville Only when they are sub-seasons can they truly display their full defensive strength, and every defensive choice will be carefully considered and done to the best.

However, when facing opponents in the middle and lower reaches of the league, it may be that the team's strength is too far apart, or it may be that they do not have much mentality for defenders.

Pepe and Ramos have almost the same way of grabbing up, and it's over with a rush of strength.

Just like the "betting BO grab" in basketball, go straight up and grab it, and the team will launch a counterattack immediately if you grab it, if you can't grab it, just put the person down and give the opponent a defining ball.

And if it is really rushed by the opponent, then it depends on the goalkeeper's ability to save the single-handed ball.

All fans who often follow Real Madrid can see that Real Madrid in the league and Real Madrid in the Champions League are obviously not a team.

It is mainly reflected in the spirit and enthusiasm of Real Madrid players.

Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, it is really the life of the three armies. Every player is ensuring their best performance. In the game, they can show the greatest enthusiasm so that the team's offensive and defensive tactical arrangements can be maximized. perfect result.

The players on the defensive line will be quite precise in the choice of investment on both ends of the offense and defense. Whether it is offense or defense, they have detailed planning and backhands. There will also be someone to complete the defense.

On the whole, Hang Ma in the Champions League is definitely much stronger than the league in terms of defensive enthusiasm.

In the league, Real Madrid has always suffered a disadvantage in the competition with Barcelona in recent years, because Barcelona's efficiency in scoring points when facing underdogs is much higher than Real Madrid.

Real Madrid always underestimates the enemy when they are facing weaker opponents and is beaten badly by the opponent's counterattack.

In this regard, last season, Casemiro was quite aware of it.

The reason why Zidane has changed the era of Ancelotti is that he has a very offensive and defensive pure midfield offensive lineup.

Sometimes world-class offensive players like Ronaldo and Isco are placed on the bench so that a defensive midfielder like Casemiro can be on the court and complete defensive tasks

However, even if Casemiro defends a part of the area, the threat to the opponent's counterattack is greatly reduced, but one person cannot control all the areas. If the opponent hits the blind spot or uses the offensive initiative to directly break through, Then there is no way.

Casemiro's task is to complete the restrictions as much as possible, and there is no way to really solve all defensive problems alone.

In the professional arena, or in the five major leagues, it is undoubtedly a dream to rely on one or two people to completely limit the defensive area.

Last season, Casemiro was handy in the Champions League no matter which central defender he partnered with, but in normal training and league matches, there was always a deep sense of disobedience.

To put it bluntly, I have no idea. As long as Casemiro's side is broken through, the defender teammates behind him may not be able to complete the defense. This is a very embarrassing thing.

Generally speaking, it is Casemiro who runs all over the field and rescues frantically. As long as the opponent breaks through Casemiro's defense, Real Madrid's final defense will inevitably be threatened.

However, after a training match, the horizontal comparison with Yang Feng's partner this time made Casemiro believe that Yang Feng would definitely be his best partner...
