Two Hundred Against the White Giant
"Good evening, everyone, I believe everyone has been looking forward to the Champions League knockout match for a long time. The 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League knockout match officially kicked off today.
Today we will live broadcast the first leg of the 1/8 final between Monaco and Real Madrid at the Stade Louis II in Monaco.
Monaco and Real Madrid performed well in the group stage. Both teams achieved 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. The difference is that Monaco ranked second in the group, while Real Madrid was the first to advance. In the knockout round of the 2003-2004 season, Monaco's shocking reversal of Real Madrid seems to be still fresh in the memory. At that time, Real Madrid had a lot of superstars, and Monaco had no players left. Casili Yass and Raul talked about the confrontation with Monaco that year, and they all said that Monaco is now without Morientes, and the possibility of their miracles has been greatly reduced.
Hehe, although Monaco does not have Morientes, Giuly, and Rothen now, they now have the same exciting young stars.
Chinese Marshal Situ Yunbing has transformed Monaco's team for more than a year. Now Monaco's main lineup is strong. He has created stars like Gareth Bale, Moreau, Matic and so on. Suarez has also improved significantly since he came to Monaco from Ajax.
The atmosphere at the Louis II stadium was overwhelming today. Many fans in the stands held up slogans. We could clearly see Kaka's name and Ronaldo's name. Of course, there were also many fans of the Monaco home team who put up slogans to support their team.
This seems to be a football feast!
Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams today.
Monaco starting 442
Goalkeeper De Gea.
Defenders Modesto, Benatia, Vertonghen, Moreau.
Midfielder Witsel, Perez, Nkuru, Matic.
Forward Suarez, Gareth Bale.
Although Falcao, another main striker of Monaco, has returned from injury, he is in doubt due to the prolonged injury. Situ Yunbing did not include him in the squad. In some shots before the game, we saw Falcao sat in the box and watched the game with his friends.
This lineup is the main lineup that Monaco has used most frequently since 2010. It is believed that Situ Yunbing has also strengthened the team's running-in after the change of personnel in order to face Real Madrid.
Real Madrid start 433 away today
Goalkeeper Casillas.
Defenders Arbeloa, Ramos, Albiol, Marcelo.
Midfielder Diarra, Kaka, Alonso.
Forward Granero, Higuain, C Ronaldo.
The resources in Pellegrini's hands are obviously stronger than that of Situ Yunbing. The main lineup that may be doubtful is Granero's starting lineup today. Real Madrid has enviable players on the bench, Benzema, Raul , Lasana-Diarra, Gago, Garay and other stars.
The bench for Monaco is relatively mediocre.
This duel is about to begin, let's see if today's duel will repeat the classic five years ago! "
The Louis II Stadium witnessed the visit of Real Madrid with two Mr. Ballon d'Or. The fans of the home team were obviously more nervous than the fans of the visiting team, but this aroused their cheering momentum even more!
When the referee blew the whistle to start the first half, Monaco took the lead.
Without temptation, without adaptation, Monaco quickly launched a fast break!
The rhythm of the Champions League is faster than any competition in France. Monaco has already experienced this in the UEFA Champions League group stage. When playing in the knockout rounds, the requirements for the team are higher. If it takes a few minutes to enter the game at home , then the home court advantage is almost gone!
Instead of waiting for the opponents to adapt to the atmosphere of the away game, familiarize themselves with the field, and the whole team to speed up the pace and take the lead, Monaco might as well come to grab the start.
If Real Madrid is not in shape, they might be able to catch their opponents by surprise.
Nkuru passed the ball obliquely from the backcourt to the left, and Moro quickly went forward to pass the ball past Granero. Situ Yunbing nodded secretly on the sidelines when he saw this scene. Moro's performance proved that his confidence was not due to the opponent's overall confidence. Powerful yet shaken.
After wading the ball past halftime, without waiting for Diarra to help defend the wing, Morrow kicked the ball into the right rib area of the penalty area.
Suarez quickly reversed offside and moved forward, and Albiol retreated and made a header to clear the siege.
The ejected football landed behind the center circle. As soon as Alonso stopped the ball here, he was countered by Perez. He walked the ball back two steps and then knocked the ball across the left.
The South American trio who landed together at the Bernabeu, Gago, Marcelo, and Higuain can be regarded as the best legacy to the club from the former chairman of Real Madrid, but Gago, who was known as Redondo's successor back then, was not in Real Madrid. Without living space, Marcelo and the small smoker Higuain have made a name for themselves here.
Marcelo is a potential stock with the capital to compete for the world's number one left-back, but now he still needs more experience and experience. Attacking strong and defending weakly is the most embarrassing taboo for full-backs. It is impossible for a full-back without offensive ability to become The top full-backs, but the full-backs who can't do a good job in basic defense have no place to stand at all, so when they can reach the offensive and get back, the full-backs are qualified to enter the room and squeeze into the top ranks.
Marcelo naturally wanted to pass the ball to Ronaldo or Kaka at the first time, but under the blockade of Witsel who stepped forward to block but did not press, he could only pass the ball diagonally to Kaka who responded with his back .
When Kaka responded with his back, Perez immediately turned around and grabbed him. Kaka cut the ball across and wanted to complete the turn and advance from the middle. As a result, just as the ball came to the middle circle, Matic's up Break the ball with the first kick!
Situ Yunbing nodded and applauded on the sidelines. The team's midfielder defended him repeatedly before the game, so he couldn't give Kaka the ball to start the space.
Although Kaka is a South American star, he is more like a European player. He is skilled but does not have many fancy moves. Basically, as long as you give him space to break through the ball, he is invincible. No one can defend him. A good way of playing.
Therefore, the marking of Kaka must make him unable to rush up first. If he rushes up, then the defensive players behind must quickly shrink the defense line to reduce the space for him to pass the ball to break through.
After Matic steals the ball, he quickly passes the ball diagonally forward on the left.
Gareth Bella responded from the side, and when Arbeloa made a scramble, Gareth Bell also stepped back with the ball, Arbeloya quickly followed up and continued to press, Gareth Bell dialed the ball to the middle, Turning around quickly after taking the ball, Suarez ran over and took the initiative to respond with a kick and sent a diagonal plug.
Arbeloa also turned around, but Gareth Bell went around the outside line but forcibly increased his speed and then cut inside to seize the position, which made Arbeloa very uncomfortable. In Yashi, he showed an excellent competitive state, which surprised Real Madrid's defense.
When he first stepped into the penalty area, Gareth Bale suddenly turned the ball towards the outside of the penalty area in the face of Ramos. running line.
As a result, Gareth Bale hit him and fell to the ground.
The Louis II stadium suddenly sounded the hustle and bustle of the home team fans!
"Will there be a penalty? No! The referee crossed his hands to indicate that Ramos did not foul!
Gareth Bale was blocked by Ramos and fell to the ground after changing direction. This penalty is questionable, but the game has just started, and it is reasonable for the referee to be cautious. "
Diarra took control of the ball and he played a short pass to Alonso who dropped back to the front of the penalty area, who stopped the ball and kicked a long ball from the spot.
The football flew to the left of the front field.
c Ronaldo was robbed by Witsel as soon as he stopped the ball on the wing. The Portuguese superstar pulled the ball forward and adjusted his direction while speeding up and dribbling the ball.
He left Witsel behind at once, Kaka quickly followed up in the middle, and Monaco's midfield defense also quickly retreated. Perez wisely did not help defend the side, but retreated straight to grab the lead c Ronaldo came to the left side of the penalty area before cutting inside.
Defending Kaka is different from defending C Ronaldo. Defending C Ronaldo should pay more attention to the protection of the inside line. This superstar who scores so well prefers to shoot after cutting inside. Maybe Situ Yunbing should be thankful that he has not encountered A few years later, he transformed into a shooter C Ronaldo, and now C Ronaldo is dribbling more on the side, cutting inside and shooting. The inertia of scoring opportunities is greater than that of dribbling to create shooting opportunities.
After Ronaldo cut in from the wing, he found that Modesto was also included in the inside, so Modesto and Perez formed a tight protection of the inside, although Kaka followed up in the middle , but under the front and rear pincers of Nkuru and Matic, it doesn't look like much.
Alonso's counterattack from the backcourt, he couldn't have killed it so quickly!
However, Marcelo quickly went down from the side. After Ronaldo saw him running across the side of his parallel position, he decisively passed the ball diagonally to the bottom line on the left.
After taking the ball, Ronaldo went forward into the penalty area, and Marcelo stopped the ball from the side. The speed of Real Madrid's attack made the scalp of Monaco fans numb!
At this time, Modesto still dare not go out to the outside to close to Marcelo. The current situation can only wait and see how Marcelo will handle the ball.
Marcelo chose to pass the ball, and the football went straight to the goal. When Benatia and Vertonghen were marking Higuain, Ronaldo rushed forward and jumped up to head the goal!
The football flew straight to the upper left corner of Monaco's goal. Because it was a close corner, De Gea deliberately moved to the close corner when Marcelo crossed. Everyone thought that Ronaldo was like a giant in the Monaco penalty area. When the goal was scored, half of De Gea's right hand touched the football, and he barely lifted the ball above the crossbar!
call!
The audience was amazed!
c Ronaldo showed regret, but he was still very relaxed. He turned around and gave Marcelo a thumbs up with a smile.
Monaco felt Real Madrid's strong offensive pressure in the opening 3 minutes!
