Chapter 310 A battle without bloodshed! Where Cristiano Ronaldo begins

Currently, the game has reached the 50th minute.

The opponent's ball was intercepted in the middle, and then he dribbled forward to look for opportunities to cooperate.

Teammates on the wing quickly stepped in, and the opposing players beside them also rushed forward.

Bai Ran couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Although I am indeed very strong in passing the ball, I won't let you all run forward without looking at my position at all!

Strong is strong, but not to this level of miraculousness.

The so-called clever woman can't make a meal without rice. In this case, how can Bai Ran pass the ball to his teammates comfortably?

Instead, his teammates all moved forward, which instantly increased the pressure on Bai Ran.

Because after the opposing players saw the movements of Real Madrid's offensive players, they pressed Bai Ran even more fiercely.

Now they were swooping towards Bai Ran.

Among the green, a flash of white suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ran.

That is……

Bai Ran took a closer look and saw that it was that man!

Striker Benzema from France!

Benzema has just returned from injury!

He saw Bai Ran trapped in a tight siege and retreated from the forward position to the midfield to organize and respond. This is what Bai Ran needs the most!

At this moment, Benzema's help in times of need made Bai Ran burst into tears in his heart.

It has to be Benzema at the critical moment!

Bai Ran suddenly remembered that in previous games, Benzema would often withdraw to the midfield to protect himself. After forming a numerical advantage in the midfield, Bai Ran became more comfortable handling the ball, and the forwards could have better opportunities. eat.

The latest addition, Morata, seems to have done a very poor job in this regard. He almost only runs in front.

Bai Ran was particularly impressed. In the recent game, Bai Ran and Morata partnered as a double center. Even Morata was unwilling to replace Bai Ran and drop back to provide support. However, Bai Ran had no choice but to come to the center alone. field to respond.

You can imagine what the result was. The ball reached the wing smoothly through Bai Ran's transmission. After receiving the ball alone, Morata faced the opponent's heavy defense and could only choose to shoot hastily. The quality of the shot was of course also Can't say it's too high.

In fact, Morata's shooting skills are quite good. Although he has the title of double inverse foot and cannot use both feet, in normal training, Bai Ran can find that Morata is just not in good condition during the game. The shot was still very good.

Even Navas had trouble saving Morata's shot.

Maybe it was because he was too nervous or for some other reason that his performance was not satisfactory.

In any case, at this moment, Benzema can be regarded as saving Bai Ran from the dilemma.

Bai Ran quickly pushed the ball to Benzema. The response was very good, and Zidane also clapped repeatedly.

For each player, fans will pay special attention to the positional responsibilities they have, their contribution is not only the organization, but also the efficiency and influence they bring in the deeper positions of the pitch.

A very important point is how Benzema, as a forward, uses his positional sense and ability to connect the game in the midfield.

Karim Benzema, the high-volume player from France is an excellent goalscorer, but he has also developed excellent skills to drop deep into the midfield to receive the ball, create space and take advantage of his excellent passing ball.

As a representative of modern all-around centers, Benzema's goals are not as many as world-class shooters like Lewandowski and Suarez, but in terms of the team's overall contribution, Benzema's contribution is very comprehensive.

First of all, his excellent ball control and dribbling abilities allow Benzema to rely on small skills combined with his physical advantages to complete coquettish operations in the penalty area, and as a center player, he has the advantage of height. Next, heading ability is also one of Benzema's best abilities. Now that Real Madrid has young breakthrough players such as Rodrigo and Vinicius, Benzema can get more performance in the penalty area. Space, not only Benzema's excellent ability to complete headers and grab points, can also bring us a dazzling performance.

As a player with a wide range of activities, Benzema also has the ability to pass key passes, which also allows him to achieve unexpected effects when retreating to the midfield and acting as a winger on the wing, and dribbling. With his excellent ability and ball control ability, Benzema has repeatedly been able to complete deft escapes from the side of the small penalty area and provide assists.

Through the comparison of Benzema's goals in recent seasons, we can find that when Ronaldo is in Real Madrid, Benzema's more role is to provide Cristiano Ronaldo with running and tearing effects from the wing. Providing more cover means that the output of firepower is mainly concentrated at Ronaldo, while Benzema is more willing to be a green leaf and silently contribute to the Portuguese's goals.

Among the characteristics of center players in people's minds, his speed advantage is not obvious, so his range of activities is more concentrated in the center position. In comparison, Benzema's abilities in the center position are more comprehensive and his coverage in the frontcourt is wider. wide. And with the advantage of speed, the Frenchman can hold the ball as much as possible to the wing to make a series of breakthroughs.

Through the coverage map of Benzema's active areas in the game, it is easy to find that Benzema's coverage area is very wide throughout the game. There are proofs that Benzema is involved in these two aspects in the midfield area and the two wingers. Therefore, it is precisely by relying on the tireless running in the frontcourt that Benzema can bring more vitality to the team.

In the current situation where Real Madrid is dominated by young players, Benzema's continuous running in the middle and wing can attract the main force of defensive players, so that Shenzhen's young players who are threatening with the ball can get as much space as possible to hold the ball.

And on the wing, Benzema not only plays the advantage of speed, but also has a certain foundation in foot technology. Benzema can also complete wonderful passing, and carry the ball to the wing to observe the running position of his teammates and send a precise cross to complete the task that a winger should complete. Therefore, whether Ronaldo is there or not, Benzema's side pull effect can provide more possibilities for Real Madrid's frontcourt offense.

Judging from the current forward configuration of Real Madrid, Benzema is the only choice for the center position. He can be the fulcrum in the offense and support the offense of the whole team. Therefore, even if Real Madrid spent a high price to sign Morata back from Juventus, he cannot be compared with Benzema, and he cannot shake Benzema's starting position.

Benzema, who has relatively excellent physical confrontation ability, can make flexible changes with midfield players or wing stars in the current situation of strong offensiveness of Real Madrid's midfield. He retreats to the midfield to provide a fulcrum effect and provides certain help in the competition for high-altitude balls, so that Real Madrid's midfield can get as much as possible to further organize the offense.

The reason why Zidane appropriately retreated Benzema to the midfield for organization and support in his tactical system is because of Benzema's excellent passing and control ability. Through the data, it can be clearly found that Benzema's pass success rate is as high as 85%, and in the case of retreating throughout the game, Benzema's pass success rate has reached more than 80%, and even the pass success rate in the midfield is close to 90%.

Benzema has two ways to choose to handle the ball when he retreats to the midfield to respond. First, he relies on his physical fitness and speed advantage to bring the ball to the frontcourt to complete the penetration of the offense. Secondly, he relies on his relatively excellent passing ability to become the hub connecting organization and offense.

Among Real Madrid's current midfielders, only Casemiro has relatively excellent physical confrontation ability. Therefore, Benzema's retreat can avoid direct physical contact between midfielders and opposing defensive players as much as possible. Instead, he relies on Benzema's retreat to serve as the middle hub, and the midfielders complete the response by running.

Looking at the world football today, Benzema is not a highly efficient top striker, but as a team-benefit striker, Benzema's role is more in providing help to the team. He can not only appear in various positions in the frontcourt, but also adapt to various positions in the frontcourt as much as possible, which greatly increases the coach's tactical adaptability. In today's football world where strikers are more demanding, being able to secure the position of the main center forward in a top giant like Real Madrid is undoubtedly the best affirmation of Benzema's own ability.

Back to the point, after Benzema got the ball, he dealt with the opponent's double-teaming and passed the ball to Modric on the left with great ease. The space was opened up at once, and the opponent's pressing was easily broken by them, and the scene suddenly became clear.

Modric fiddled with the ball under his feet. At the moment when the opponent's defensive focus shifted, Modric's turn made the opponent's midfielder a little confused.

A very gorgeous turn, and the area in front suddenly became clear.

After that, Modric's long pass found Bale on the wing.

Bale's subsequent handling was exactly the same as before. He relied on his excellent speed to force overtake and break through to the bottom line before making plans.

This is also Bale's consistent style. His role on the field is to use his speed to attack the opponent's defense.

Although Sporting Lisbon is rich in wingers, the physical fitness of the players in the team is also very good and the speed is also very fast, but no matter how fast you are, how can you compare with Bale!

In terms of the absolute speed of dribbling, Bale dares to claim second place. Who dares to claim first place in today's football world?

After forcing a breakthrough on the outside lane, Bale's cross broke through the Bernabeu skyline.

In the opponent's penalty area, Ronaldo and Benzema jumped high to compete for the header!

There were too many points in the Real Madrid frontcourt that could constitute a shot, which made the opponent's goalkeeper a little dazzled. Before he could sort out his thoughts, he heard a swish, and the ball had been headed into the net by Ronaldo!

Good shot!

The score of the game reached 3-0 in the second half!

Real Madrid did not give Sporting Lisbon any face, and it was a hearty and crazy attack battle!

The president's goal was domineering. Who else could compete for the header in the air? With the height advantage and excellent physical fitness, Ronaldo was almost the first master to score with a corner kick in the penalty area.

In this area where it is very easy to score goals, Ronaldo lived up to expectations and scored a very beautiful super header.

There was thunderous applause and cheers from the stands instantly for the Portuguese superstar and the Spanish galaxy battleship. In this first round of the Champions League, they remained invincible!

Real Madrid teammates swarmed towards Ronaldo, but after scoring the goal, the Portuguese didn't seem so excited. He just gave a thumbs up to his teammates and showed a reluctant smile.

Then Ronaldo clasped his hands toward the fans in the opponent's stands, muttered something, expressed a little apology, and then returned to his seat.

It turns out that Sporting Lisbon, as Ronaldo's home team, helped him a lot when he was young. Ronaldo made his debut on this team.

But now in the Champions League, this club and the superstars it has trained have coincidentally come together.

After scoring such a wonderful goal for his home team, Ronaldo had no intention of celebrating.

The fans of Sporting Lisbon also applauded Ronaldo. They never forget the well digger. Ronaldo seems to still remember the kindness Sporting Lisbon brought him.

But this is a football field, and kindness to your opponents is cruelty to yourself. You must go all out to go further. This is something everyone knows.

As we all know, Ronaldo was born in a poor family. His father was an alcoholic because his father was the equipment manager of an amateur club in Portugal. Ronaldo came into contact with football early and joined this club at the age of 7. The echelon of the club.

However, it is obvious that an amateur club cannot give Ronaldo any compensation. They can only help Ronaldo train, which does not change much in Ronaldo's life.

In 1998, 13-year-old Ronaldo got his first chance. Sporting Lisbon came to this club to select young talent. People from Sporting Lisbon told Ronaldo and the others that the person who scored the most goals in this game would be taken away by them. , signed with Sporting Lisbon’s echelon.

In this game, Ronaldo worked very hard. He scored the first goal, and then his childhood friend Albert scored the second goal. The game came to the last moment, and Albert won the goal with the goalkeeper. In a 1-on-1 opportunity, he has a great chance to score. As long as he scores, he has a chance to go to Sporting Lisbon.

But what Ronaldo didn't expect was that while Albert passed the goalkeeper, he passed the ball to Ronaldo, who was running in at high speed. Ronaldo also scored the ball into the empty goal. In the end, with 2 goals, Ronaldo became the winner of this selection. Sporting Lisbon introduced Ronaldo for 1,500 pounds.

Later, in an interview, Ronaldo said that he walked into Albert and asked him why he did this. Albert replied to Ronaldo: We are best friends. You need this opportunity more than me. Your strength Better than me.

Ronaldo seized this opportunity. From U16, U17, U18, the second team to the first team, Ronaldo emerged in Sporting Lisbon. Later, Manchester United took away Ronaldo for 12.24 million pounds. Ronaldo also became the superstar he is today step by step. .

In the first few months after joining the Sporting Lisbon youth team, Cristiano Ronaldo's Madeira rural accent became the laughing stock of his peers in the capital. For this reason, he had a strong self-esteem and had low self-esteem. He had conflicts more than once with his junior teammates who imitated his speech.

Ronaldo said: "I have a strong accent because I come from a small island and am different from other children. Looking back, that was also good, because it taught me how to support myself. I learned to be independent at a very young age." More What's worse is that Ronaldo was almost kicked out of the team because he grew too fast because the coach thought he was too clumsy.

At Sporting Lisbon's Akchit training camp, the "football dream factory" that has trained football geniuses such as Figo, Ronaldo received five years of rigorous and scientific training. His unremitting efforts made Ronaldo gradually become a favorite among his peers. The leader, Aurelio Pereira, the respected old coach in Portugal who brought Ronaldo from Madeira to Lisbon said so.

"From the time he was 11 years old I thought this was a player who could become a superstar in the future. Ronaldo showed all the potential to become a superstar from an early age. What he has achieved today does not surprise me. I didn't think I had it. The magic of finding and creating talent, but experience tells me he will be a star... Whenever I watch him play, it's like watching a kid from Sporting Lisbon's academy."

It is worth mentioning that the Portuguese King almost said goodbye to his playing career early due to a heart problem at the age of 15. With the help of Ronaldo’s mother and Sporting Lisbon staff, Ronaldo successfully completed the operation, and he was discharged a few days later. Reappeared on the training ground.

When he was 16 years old, Ronaldo was spotted by the then Liverpool coach Houllier, but the Liverpool club ultimately did not buy him. At that time, they believed that Ronaldo's skills still needed to be honed.

It can be seen that on the road to Cristiano Ronaldo becoming a superstar, the club Sporting Lisbon gave him great help and enlightenment.

This allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to grow from a child from a poor family to the most famous and lethal striker and goal-scoring machine in today's world football. At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo finally stood in the spotlight of the world, welcoming the opportunity that should belong to him. of glory.

Therefore, after scoring the goal, Ronaldo did not intend to celebrate. This is also a kind of respect for his home club at the beginning of his career.

Even the fans can imagine the direction of the game after that. Real Madrid was unstoppable and attacked all the way, while Sporting Lisbon was no match at all.

Prior to this, the head-to-head records of the two teams had already begun to emerge.

The two teams have played 5 times in the history of the three major European Cups. Real Madrid has a slight advantage with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, scoring 10 goals and conceding 5 goals. Among them, Real Madrid has an absolute advantage in maintaining a winning record in 3 home games, scoring 7 goals and conceding 5 goals. 1 ball.

So this home game is no exception. Real Madrid is expected to win this game without any bloodshed.
