MTL - Strong Waist-Chapter 951 Benzema's performance
Chapter 951 Benzema's performance
Modric has a trace of regret on his face. The opportunity just now is very rare. If they can break through Lucky's line of defense, they will be able to threaten the goal.
Relying on Ronaldo's shooting ability, they have a high probability of scoring goals.
But precisely, Le Kai appeared in the position that made them feel the most uncomfortable.
Modric doesn't know when Lucky arrived, but from this we can also see Lucky's attitude in this game, that is, defense is the main priority.
This is also the last situation Real Madrid wants to see.
"Kay hardly moved forward in this game. This is the right choice. Compared to Real Madrid, Arsenal have more initiative. They don't have the pressure to attack. They just need to defend well. Can win the game.
Compared with Arsenal, Real Madrid's offensive pressure is even greater.
At the beginning of the game, after the few tentative attacks Arsenal played, there was almost no too much pressing action.
In most cases, it is mainly about stabilizing the game. To put it bluntly, Arsenal only needs to slow down the rhythm of the game and prevent Real Madrid from scoring. After 90 minutes of the game, they can win the game.
But Real Madrid obviously don't want to waste time.
"Speed up some rhythm, try to pass the ball forward!"
C Ronaldo is urging the midfielder, Arsenal has made their attitude clear, and they also need to implement their ideas.
This is a key game related to the Champions League final. Even if Real Madrid has more Champions League champions, they will not be arrogant enough to pretend to be aggressive at this time.
Real Madrid is very aware of their current form, so they are under tremendous offensive pressure. All they need to do is to defeat Arsenal's defense.
Even though it's hard!
But they have to!
And the foundation of all this is derived from Ronaldo.
C Ronaldo's ability is beyond doubt. As the player with the most goals on the planet, he is a great shooter from any angle.
C Ronaldo's ability is very strong, especially the ability to score goals.
As long as Ronaldo is given a chance to shoot, then Ronaldo can firmly grasp it.
And Ronaldo's threat is not only in front of the goal, he is also threatening in long-range shots and free kicks.
Real Madrid began to concentrate the ball to Ronaldo, but Ronaldo did not make any breakthroughs, but cooperated with Benzema in the middle.
Real Madrid's center forward retreat tactics are also used very well.
This mainly comes down to Benzema's ability.
In terms of frontcourt organization, compared to Giroud and Harry Kane, Benzema is a player more suitable for this type of tactics.
Benzema's ability is underestimated.
Because in the Real Madrid group, Ronaldo's brilliance is used as a cover, so it is difficult for the French star to have the opportunity to express himself. Even if he does, it will be covered by Ronaldo in the same field.
Everyone will stare at Ronaldo, not the French star.
But even so, Benzema is willing to be a green leaf.
Benzema's teamwork is very good, which is why he was able to survive so many players in Real Madrid.
After Ronaldo distributed the ball to Benzema, Benzema had two options.
In the process of retreating, he can play a two-for-one cooperation with Asensio, and at the same time, he can return the ball to Ronaldo.
No matter how bad it is, he can make a breakthrough by himself.
In the blink of an eye, Benzema also quickly processed information to find an optimal choice.
As soon as Benzema got the ball, Hummels approached him.
Hummels is in defense and is also paying attention to Benzema's points.
With the ball sideways, Benzema raised his head and looked in the direction of Ronaldo, as if making a two-for-one look.
This also makes Hummels' body twist slightly in the direction of the pass, trying to intercept.
But in the next second, Benzema suddenly kicked back, and quickly turned around to make a breakthrough.
Hummels immediately adjusted his body, and vaguely pulled his hand towards Benzema's jersey.
But in the next second, Benzema made an emergency stop and at the same time distributed the ball to his side.
Asensio suddenly passed by and strode the ball into the penalty area.
"Asensio! Dangerous!"
Before Jimenez stepped forward, Asensio shot angrily.
The ball hit Arsenal's goal like a shell.
But this shot was too straight.
Martinez made a diving save and put the ball firmly in his arms.
"Don't be fooled by fake moves, hold your position!"
Martinez got up from the ground and reminded Hummels.
Although Hummels reacted quickly, he was almost completely freed by Benzema.
Benzema also showed a regretful expression.
Lucky looked at Arsenal's penalty area from the side, frowning slightly.
Real Madrid's offensive form began to become richer.
All this is the performance after the withdrawal from Benzema.
Real Madrid relied on this attack, although they failed to score a goal, they created a threatening attack.
This also made Real Madrid's morale warm up a little bit, at least their offense began to work.
Lucky also approached Kanter at the right time.
"Focus on Asensio!"
Facing Le Kai's reminder, Kanter pursed his lips and said, "What about Ronaldo?"
Hearing this, Le Kai was stunned for a moment.
Yes!
Staring at Asensio, who will restrict Ronaldo?
Can't let Monreal single out Ronaldo?
Although Ronaldo's extraordinary ability has declined, this is not the extent to which Monreal can guarantee to limit himself.
"Still staring at Ronaldo!"
After weighing the pros and cons, Lucky still decided to limit the most threatening Ronaldo.
Regarding this, Kanter also nodded to express his understanding.
In the arena, Real Madrid once again pressed hard.
After the first attack worked, they became full of confidence. While Modric ensured the pass in the midfield, he also distributed the ball to Ronaldo and let Ronaldo advance.
But Arsenal can't just stare at Ronaldo, because Benzema's running position is also erratic.
Sometimes drop back, sometimes appear on the right wing, sometimes in the center.
This guy kept stirring Arsenal's defense to help Real Madrid attack in series.
"There have been some changes in the form. Benzema has become extremely active in the frontcourt. He constantly retreats to catch the ball and undertakes the organizational work of the frontcourt. This also makes Arsenal's defense a bit difficult to parry!"
Andy Gray said with a frown.
Recently, the center's retreat tactics can be described as rampant.
Tottenham's Harry Kane, Arsenal's Giroud, Real Madrid's Benzema, and even Liverpool's alternative shield striker Firmino, these players are all beneficiaries of this system.
The center forward retreat tactic is currently one of the most cumbersome and difficult to target tactics.
The center forward retreats, can the central defender follow?
If you don’t follow, then watch the opponent’s center forward pass the ball wantonly in your own half.
Followed, then be careful of the opponent's side split or breakthrough.
Moreover, the choice of side splitting and breakthrough, the initiative is in the hands of the opponent's center forward.
It can be said that the opposing center forward can make countless mistakes.
But as long as the central defender makes a mistake once, it will be over.
So, this set of tactics extremely tests the ability of the central defender.
Hummels and Jimenez are excellent central defenders, but Benzema is not an ordinary person.
There is also the help of Ronaldo, Asensio, Modric, Kroos and other players, which makes Arsenal's defensive pressure a bit more.
Just like now, Benzema completed the retreat on the right wing, and quickly turned and went to the bottom.
When close to the side penalty area line, Benzema passed the ball with one foot through the crotch.
C Ronaldo's diagonal running position was caught by Jimenez. Jimenez blocked Ronaldo and passed the ball to Monreal who responded.
The latter passed to the midfielder, which resolved the crisis.
Arsenal also quickly launched a counterattack, but they also failed to shoot before the Real Madrid goalkeeper took the ball out of the air.
Both sides play an attack each.
The pace of the game has also accelerated a lot.
But fundamentally speaking, it is still Real Madrid's offense that has become more threatening.
And all this is due to the performance of Benzema.
Many people in this game thought that Ronaldo would complete the reversal.
But what they didn't expect was that when Ronaldo was watched dead by Arsenal, Benzema actually led Real Madrid's offense with excellent performance.
And judging from the current situation, Arsenal cannot be careless in the slightest.
As long as there is any mistake or accident, Real Madrid will have the possibility of blasting the ball into Arsenal's goal.
