striker cool brother

On the second day of Real Madrid's victory, the second opponent in the final was also released.

Atletico Madrid eliminated Barcelona 3:2 and advanced to the final.

The final time is 3 days later, in the King Abdullah Sports City, to determine the champion of this season's Western Super Cup.

During the training session, Zidane took a walk on the pitch, full of thoughts.

He is not afraid of Atletico Madrid, but worried about the team's defense.

Real Madrid captain Ramos sent points at the last moment of the game because he didn't have time to stop when he defended Marcelo's gap.

This happened not just yesterday.

In this season's games, most of Real Madrid's conceded goals were due to the fact that the full-backs were too aggressive and often couldn't come back after pressing the offense.

Once Real Madrid's frontcourt offense is smooth, Ramos, Marcelo and Carvajal in the back line have turned into forwards and participated in the offense.

It is not without reason that Reedma's reputation as the emperor is not unreasonable.

Especially Marcelo sits on the left side. At the beginning of this season, due to age and injuries, his attendance rate cannot be guaranteed, and his state is also greatly affected.

When attacking, his breakthrough and passing are still Real Madrid's secret weapon to break the game.

But most of the time, the awkward return to defense caused Real Madrid's thin defense to be broken in one blow.

This kind of defense, when playing against a strong team, is often a weakness that is seized by the opponent.

If Real Madrid wants to gain something in the third-line battle, they must first solve the defensive problem.

Zidane's idea is to let the young Mendy replace Marcelo as the team's left back.

In fact, he has already done so in the first half of the game.

Looking at Marcelo, who was laughing and laughing with his teammates, Zidane's complicated emotions came to his mind for a while.

Marcelo has been the hero of Real Madrid for nearly ten years and the founder of the dynasty. In the hearts of Real Madrid fans, he has become the best left back comparable to Carlos.

He also misses the days when Ronaldo and Marcelo flourished on the wing.

But the decline in the state is a serious fact. Zidane had to put aside his personal emotions and put the interests of the team first.

After announcing the roster for tomorrow's Super Cup final, Zidane peeked at Marcelo.

The team favorite is calm on the surface, and he encourages the players with captain Ramos, vowing to win the championship.

The Western Super Cup final is about to begin.

This is the first championship battle since the restructuring of the Western Super Cup.

Zidane continued to form the formation to defeat Valencia, but at the left back position, Mendy was sent.

In the Madrid derby, the two teams already know the bottom line, so there is no need to probe further.

After the opening, Real Madrid's entire formation pressed forward and launched a fierce attack on Atletico Madrid.

Carvajal and Mendy advanced from the wing to participate in the attack, and the latter and Isco were responsible for penetrating the opponent's rib attack from the left.

Modric and Valverde are responsible for the tough battle on the right flank.

Rossi, as a single arrow, oppresses Atletico Madrid in the middle.

Judging from the offensive arrangement, Real Madrid is divided into left, center and right three-way camps going hand in hand.

However, in front of Atletico Madrid, which is best at defense, Real Madrid's tactical arrangements before the game did not achieve very good results.

Atletico Madrid's long-time heroes Juan Faran, Felipe Luis and Godin all left the team last summer, which ushered in a major shake-up for Atletico Madrid's defense.

Recruits Trippier, Felipe, and Lodi quickly became the team's main picks.

Judging from the first half of the game, the performance of the three met Simeone's expectations.

In this game, the main task of central defender Jimenez is to cut off the connection between Real Madrid's side and Rossi, so that he is completely isolated in the middle.

In the 10th minute of the game, Rossi received a cross pass from Isco in the penalty area, hit the goal from a small angle after going down the bottom, was blocked by the goalkeeper Oblak, and completed the first shot since the opening.

This is also the first connection between the two in this field.

Afterwards, Isco tried to contact Rossi many times, but he was either cleared by Jimenez or intercepted by Saul who returned to the defense. Real Madrid's offense was temporarily paralyzed.

Zidane looked at his opponent, a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, after losing in the league, Simeone quickly designated Rossi's defense, and the effect was remarkable.

Without the cover of Benzema, Rossi was in the frontcourt, more to cooperate with the offense of his teammates, which severely reduced his range of activities and fell into the "jail situation" of Atletico Madrid.

In order to relieve Rossi's pressure on the front line, Zidane asked Modric to strengthen the offensive series in the middle.

However, Atletico Madrid also immediately adjusted and strengthened the formation of a siege in front of the penalty area, intending to destroy the connection between the midfielder and Rossi.

Throughout the first half, Real Madrid showed strong midfield control, frequently threatening the opponent's goal.

Atletico Madrid put all their energy on the defensive end, cutting off Real Madrid's offense by restricting Rossi and strengthening local siege.

Although it successfully limited Real Madrid's offense, relatively, Atletico Madrid's offensive performance was unremarkable.

If the game continues like this, the two teams will not be able to decide the winner within the regular time, and the game will enter overtime or even a penalty kick.

For this, Simeone has long been fully prepared.

Although Zidane is not afraid of playing overtime, he still wants to try first and exchange offense for the initiative.

But at the beginning of the second half, Atletico Madrid changed their previous defensive posture and brought the defense near the center line.

Atletico Madrid's right-back Trippier boldly pressed forward and attacked Mendy's wing, which put tremendous pressure on Real Madrid's wing.

Although Mendy is impeccable defensively, on the offensive end, he cannot use offense instead of defense.

Mendy, who could not be suppressed, made the opponent more unscrupulous and strengthened the attack on the wing.

After gaining an advantage on the wing, Atletico Madrid's all-round midfielder with balanced offense and defense began to show their power.

Simeone has deliberately increased the participation of players in offense this season.

In particular, increase the number of passing and receiving cooperation in the middle. Regardless of whether it is a striker or a midfielder, all of them actively participate in the organization work, reducing the previous offensive routines that relied on the midfielder to turn the side to pass to the two defenders.

Morata and Felix started to get shots.

Real Madrid began to turn to defense, and under the excellent performance of Casemiro, the defense line was impenetrable.

Whether outside the penalty area or in the penalty area, Felix's shots often choose to force kicks under pressure.

The result is either blocked or off target.

As for Morata, his double-backed foot attribute made him miss an excellent single-handed opportunity in the second half, which made Courtois's magic attack.

Under Atletico Madrid's massive attack, Rossi began to get offensive opportunities.

In the 65th minute, after receiving a pass from the backcourt, Modric advanced with the ball from the right, surrounded by three Atletico Madrid players, and distributed it to Rossi who advanced forward.

Under the double-teaming of two central defenders, Rossi first dunked the ball to the right, and after attracting the central defender Jimenez from the left front, he quickly pushed the ball to the left front with his right foot.

Jimenez's defensive movement not only made himself stunned, but also blocked the line of his teammates' defense, allowing Rossi to have space to shoot.

When he stretched his legs and tried to block, Rossi had already completed a low shot.

The ball flew to the far corner of the goal, but Oblak, who fell to the ground quickly, poked it with his fingertips, rubbed the goal post and went out of the baseline.

Amidst the sighs of the fans, Rossi missed a chance to score.

Seeing that Real Madrid still had the strength to counterattack under pressure, Simeone immediately ordered to retreat and defend, and continued to nest near the penalty area, unable to hold on.

Rossi retreated several times and pulled out the defender's defense.

But neither Isco nor Modric are players with strong offensive ability, and it is difficult to achieve results.

At this time, it would be great if Benzema was here.

His cooperation with Rossi is much better than Isco or Modric.

Therefore, Real Madrid has not scored a goal now, and it is all to blame for Benzema.

Seeing that Real Madrid was extremely limited by Simon West's tactics, in the 70th minute, Rodrigo came off the bench and replaced Isco.

Simeone also made adjustments. Max Llorente replaced Herrera to strengthen the frontcourt threat.

Llorente, who just played, has enough physical fitness to run back and forth in the midfield.

In the last second, as the second striker, he completed a high-quality dead-end shot on the right side of the penalty area.

In the next second, he immediately appeared in the defensive position of the right midfielder and destroyed Mendy's cross.

90 minutes of regular time, quickly passed.

Both teams tried their best on offense and defense, lying in their respective halfs, resting in situ, waiting for the start of overtime.
