Dominate the Greenery

Chapter 375 Guti VS Riquelme
Because of the suspension of Gravesen at Real Madrid, Riquelme can easily become the protagonist.

In order to deal with the Argentine Carlo, Guti returned to the midfielder position in the last game, and it is the same in today's game, but this time he does not have Garcia's partner, and Raul, Xie Rui, Zidane, Beckham and Ronaldo.

In fact, many people would prefer Xie Rui to return to the position of the midfielder, but Carlo finally denied this plan, and he insisted on choosing to overwhelm the opponent with offense.

In the past six months, he has not dared to place his hope on Real Madrid's defense. Anyway, no matter how many people there are, the effect is the same, so he should simply make the frontcourt stronger.

"My arrangement is not to say that we don't need to defend, we need to stare at Riquelme so that he can't easily receive and pass the ball." Carlo explained after announcing the squad, "Their defense is very good. Tough and powerful, I hope you and I can avoid confrontation as much as possible while protecting ourselves, we don’t need a hand-to-hand fight, we can play more flexibly than them.”

The whole world knows that Gravesen cannot play. For Riquelme's possible opponents are Xie Rui, Guti, and Garcia. To be on the safe side, everyone is more optimistic about Xie Rui, but this will inevitably sacrifice his offensive ability.

Although Zidane can also organize offenses, Carlo chose double insurance.Of course, this is also because of the home game, he has such confidence.

As for whether such a choice is correct, any debate is meaningless, and the result can only depend on the process of the game.

Regardless of the offense, Guti played against Riquelme. Carlo's choice was a bit risky, but no one can ignore Guti's tenacity. If Carlo just intends to entangle Riquelme, his choice is obviously correct. .

Guti is not a typical defensive midfielder, but he has aura and is very familiar with Riquelme, who is also talented. After a long confrontation between the two, Guti may fall into a passive position, but at the beginning, Guti did not have any mental calculations. question.

The facts are on the court. Villarreal, who took the lead to kick off, quickly led the ball into Real Madrid's half from Riquelme. Xie Rui's intentional or unintentional interception attracted Riquelme's attention. The Argentine turned decisively. , Just fell into Guti's defensive area. The two caught fire for the first time. Guti turned around and blocked the ball and handed it to Ramos to pass to the wing.

Because of the cooperation between Xie Rui and Guti, Riquelme didn't care too much about the conceded goal this time, but just thought that he must pay attention to the positions of the two when he next attacked.

And Real Madrid has quickly passed to the front of Villarreal's penalty area. After receiving the ball, Xie Rui decisively gave it to Beckham and then rushed into the penalty area. Ronaldo pulled to the front point, Raul was on the left, Beckham's The pass was quickly put in place, Xie Rui succeeded in grabbing a point in the middle, but he didn't have a place to eat. The young Villarreal goalkeeper Barbosa easily jumped up and took the ball.

"Real Madrid's offense has indeed become faster. This time, from Guti's steal to Xie Rui's header, it took only a few tens of seconds. Real Madrid has been advancing almost all the time."

"Villarreal is a bit under-prepared, but the game has just started, and who is right and who is wrong is still unknown, but Real Madrid has clearly overwhelmed. The side attack of Cicinho and Carlos will definitely be more obvious. If If Riquelme gets his timing right, they might score first."

Time is what is scrambled on the football field. Whoever scores first will take the initiative.

Real Madrid's offensive rhythm is very fast, but Villarreal is unwilling to obey Real Madrid's rhythm. They keep trying to attack, but none of them are fast. Even if Riquelme's pass is fast and slow, but Their whole is really pressing the rhythm, and they don't want the Real Madrid players to run.

In the 7th minute, Real Madrid once again surrounded Villarreal's penalty area. After receiving Zidane's pass, Xie Rui did not split the side or pass back. He made a long shot to attract Arzu's defensive focus. Quickly pulls the ball into the penalty area, then tiptoes the ball to Ronaldo before Alvarez rushes to help.

It's a pity that the Brazilian's shot was saved by Barbosa, who reacted quickly.

Villarreal quickly made a counterattack, but after the ball passed the midfield, Riquelme controlled it. He was not in a hurry to pass the ball to Forlan, who was in front of him, but turned around slowly. Cut, Guti tried to stick it up, but his center of gravity became more and more difficult to control because of the lateral shift.

Seeing that Riquelme was about to destroy his defensive position in this way, Guti suddenly stopped, retracted his center of gravity, and then kicked the shovel when Riquelme was shining.

This surprised Riquelme, who wanted to smash the ball, he had to provoke the ball, and then he jumped up instinctively to bypass Guti's defense.

Guti seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and quickly got up on the ground, but this time he actually stuck to Riquelme.

The referee Prautz hesitated for a moment and signaled that the offense would be favorable for the game to continue, but he didn't know that Riquelme was secretly complaining about his lack of preparation and not falling down. Otherwise, even if Guti didn't receive a yellow card, Villarreal Yar can also get a goal-oriented set kick, which is better than being close to the current situation.

Unable to get out of position, Riquelme made an emergency stop and pushed the ball to Sorin on the wing, and then tried to get rid of Guti without the ball, but today Guti is as sticky as a piece of brown sugar It's on him, and I can't shake it off.

Villarreal's attack ended with Forlan shooting from outside the penalty area.

"Guti looks like this, it seems that Riquelme is the only target?"

"That's not bad. With Riquelme defended to death, Villarreal can only attack from the side. What's more, Shrek returns to the defense from time to time, which seems to give way to the center, but Villarreal is not at all. There is no way to take the middle lane."

"But Real Madrid's wing defense also has problems. Carlos and Cicinho are too high."

"This situation can't last long. You see, they will take it back soon."

After Real Madrid's strong attack for a quarter of an hour had no effect, the two full-backs did retreat, and at this time, Xie Rui also retreated halftime.

"What is Shrek going to do? Has Real Madrid changed their strategy?"

It's not a change of strategy. Xie Rui's retreat is just to connect the midfield. Guti has already devoted himself to defense. In the case of a retreat from the wing, Real Madrid needs to attack from the center. Xie Rui retreated It's just to expand Real Madrid's possession space, and of course it can also assist Guti in defense, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Sure enough, when Villarreal passed the ball to Riquelme's feet again, the Argentine suddenly found that not only could he not advance, but the space for passing the ball to the side was also compressed, and Xie Rui was on the side Just wait, even if Riquelme passes Guti, Xie Rui can post it immediately.

It's just that in this way, it feels like Real Madrid takes back active defense.

Is the defensive counterattack coming?Does it fit?
