Football’s First Defender

After the score was equalized because of an unexpected penalty kick, Zidane adjusted through substitutions and continued to replace 3 offensive players to continue to strengthen the team's offense.

In more than 70 minutes, Zidane directly changed 3 players without leaving any other room for adjustment. The purpose is very simple, that is, Real Madrid must score goals and must regain their offensive pressure.

Absolutely can not be in the game, and Sevilla in such a stalemate in the game.

You must know that under the current momentum, Sevilla, which equalized the score, is already in a period of rising morale. If Real Madrid cannot suppress this morale, then they will encounter more serious threats and tests in the future. .

Real Madrid needs to continue to maintain their own suppression on the offensive end, and needs to be able to score a third goal and regain the lead.

For Zidane, for this UEFA Super Cup championship, it is inevitable.

In a final-type competition, the more procrastination, the more unfavorable it is for the dominant side.

If the battle cannot be resolved quickly within 90 minutes of regular time, then the game will be dragged into overtime, or even dragged into a penalty shootout, then for the side that has the upper hand in terms of strength, it must be The advantages will be wiped out little by little.

Especially in penalty shootouts, it is all about luck and has nothing to do with the strength of the team.

What Zidane wants is to win with strength. With the team having such a strong paper strength, it is still impossible to win, so it is a bit unreasonable.

It takes 90 minutes to resolve the battle, even if it takes 120 minutes to decide the winner.

If a penalty shootout is really played, then for Zidane, this UEFA Super Cup final will be considered a loss.

Zidane didn't want to compete with his opponent for luck in the penalty shootout.

It has to be said that with the appearance of organized midfielders like Modric and Ronaldo, Real Madrid's control of the ball has become more stable and has an advantage.

Especially Modric's appearance, although the game state still has physical fitness, Modric has not recovered to the best, but after coming off the bench, with abundant physical fitness, Modric's performance in the game can still reach normal level.

Among the talented Real Madrid midfielders, Modric is actually the most special one.

As long as there are no injuries and there are rotation factors, Modric's playing priority is almost always the highest. This is not only the coach's preference, but also a reflection of the player's strength.

For the Real Madrid team, which lacks absolute breakthrough players on the front line, there is still a great demand for breakthrough players.

It's just that what Real Madrid needs is not the kind of player who breaks through for the sake of breaking through, but the kind of player who can send a pass and find the offensive player in front after breaking through.

After all, Real Madrid's striker, the value of the BBC combination or other offensive players, you can't let them be just as a force on the court.

This is also the reason why even though Isco has excellent breakthrough ability, several head coaches of Real Madrid failed to fully correct Isco.

Isco's breakthrough ability is indeed in the forefront of Real Madrid's midfielders, and even his strength is recognized by many wealthy teams. This can be seen from the various offers of other teams during the off-season. .

However, in the final process of handling the ball, Isco seemed a little rusty, or could not reach the level of top players.

In terms of shooting, with the training of these seasons, Isco's long-range shooting ability and the effect of hitting the goal under oppressive defense are quite good.

However, in terms of passing, Isco has not improved significantly.

Whether it is the passing vision or the ability to play the ball in a small area, Isco has no good way to send the team a good pass in the offense.

Especially sometimes when counterattacking quickly, Real Madrid's counterattack style is to make rapid advances on the offensive end to attack the opponent's defense.

Real Madrid's counterattack speed, as fast as the wind, is no exaggeration.

Most players, holding the ball, rely on their own personal ability to advance quickly by themselves, or pass the ball to complete the advancement.

However, sometimes, when Isco is on the field, the speed of the ball and Real Madrid's counterattack rhythm will have a momentary stagnation when Isco gets the ball.

Sometimes, Isco is obsessed with passing others. Although it may take a few seconds to pass the opponent's player in the end, it also gives the opponent's other players a chance to quickly return to defense.

This is also the reason why Real Madrid's strikers dislike Isco.

The various matchup advantages created by everyone running desperately and counterattacking are usually consumed by Isco in the process of breaking through.

The reason why Modric plays a big role in Real Madrid's team system, even in the era of Ancelotti, the full-tech midfielder period, the 22-game winning streak collapsed at the end, is actually because of Modric. Delici suffered an injury.

Modric's role in the Real Madrid team is incomparable.

Many people just position Modric as a qualified organizer, a world-class midfield organizer.

But they all ignored Modric's breakthrough ability, which is also a must.

Those who are familiar with La Liga and Real Madrid can see that Modric is often on the offensive end of Real Madrid in every game, whether it is a positional attack or a quick counterattack.

When encountering the defense of an opponent player, Modric will lean back against the opponent, then suddenly start, complete the breakaway on the spot, and then rush up to speed, causing a huge threat to the opponent's defense.

Modric's breakthrough did not have too many fancy moves, no display of speed, but more use of the rhythm of the game and his control over the football.

Many people are guarding against Modric's trick when defending Modric, but even many giant teams in the Champions League may be defeated by Modric when they meet Modric. The ability to get rid of in place, get rid of the defense of the defensive player, and complete the offense.

You know, in a strong duel, for Modric, as long as Modric breaks away from the spot and breaks through the past during the game, the opponent's defense will fall into absolute panic in an instant .

Whether Modric chooses to hit the goal by himself, or completes the goal after causing a change in the opponent's defense line, he will create a considerable threat to the opponent's defense line.

If it is said that Marcelo and Carvajal's breakthrough attack on the left and right flanks can also allow the opponent to find opportunities to supplement the defense, if the latter strengthens the defense in the middle, then Modric A successful breakthrough means causing irreparable damage to the opponent.

At this time, when Modric played, Zidane wanted to use Modric to tear apart Sevilla's defense and provide the team with better offensive space...
