Chapter 574: Settle the Grudge at Jingmen Point
After a brief decline in the past few years, Ajax re-emerged in the Eredivisie and successfully entered the Champions League group stage for three consecutive years. Coincidentally, they have been in the same group as Real Madrid in these three seasons.
They have played six games against each other in three seasons, almost as good as their respective national league opponents. In the first five games, Ajax lost five games in a row. After De Boer took over Ajax in the summer of 2011, he lost three games in a row, and all three times were defeats of more than three goals.
In the past three seasons, Ajax has also stopped in the group stage, although the result has not yet been played today. But both the team and the individual will make progress. The law of football is that if you don't advance, you will retreat. The 42-year-old young coach Frank DeBoer is also constantly learning and moving forward.
De Boer knows that the possibility of overthrowing Real Madrid at the Bernabeu is very small. His main tactical purpose is not to lose. Even a small loss is acceptable, but he cannot repeat the mistake of losing to Real Madrid again.
Therefore, De Boer very smartly learned the methods used by the top teams in La Liga, especially the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, against Real Madrid - forcing Real Madrid to control the ball.
Mourinho's team is very good at control, but what they control is space and opponents. It is the air, turf, heaven and earth. In addition to football, Mourinho's tactics pursue control of everything.
Real Madrid's current players are all good at their feet, and they are absolutely excellent in terms of ball control skills, but team ball control tactics and personal ball control are two different things, and overall ball control and advancement are not the same thing as players dribbling and sticking to the ball.
Mu's control habit is to hand over the possession of the ball, then force the opponent to make the football a burden, and then find the right moment to seal the throat with a sword. Controlling the football at your feet goes against the essence of Mourinho's tactics and will disrupt your own rhythm.
Therefore, in a sense, ball control is actually Mourinho's weakness. He has a grudge against ball control. No wonder many people are criticizing Mourinho for playing "anti-football" instead of football.
The thieves' La Liga opponents now generally consciously hand over possession of the ball against Real Madrid, forcing Real Madrid to continuously increase their possession rate, and forcing Real Madrid to do what Mourinho hates and is least good at. Moreover, this unhealthy trend is spreading rapidly. This is a big reason why Real Madrid has been quite stumbling against mid-to-lower teams this season.
The data shows that as long as Real Madrid's ball possession rate is extremely high, many of the previous games that relied on Zhuoyang's personal ability to score buzzer-beating shots are basically in this category.
De Boer follows suit, and this is what he gave Real Madrid today. Mourinho’s team has always ‘lost the situation and won the ball’, but now they must ‘win both the situation and the ball’.
.
Paulson knocked over Ronaldo with a deliberate block, which was very similar to the time Zhuoyang knocked him over just now. Just now, he was in the penalty area, falling to the ground in order to cause a foul to disrupt Real Madrid's corner kick attack, but this time Ronaldo was really looking like stars.
The president was very angry and the consequences were serious.
Nacho's shot bounced out of the post, and Ronaldo stood up and pushed Paulson. The Danish midfielder suddenly laughed angrily: Are you distracted, or can I not hold the knife anymore?
At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo is not yet the domineering president who will be wealthy and elegant in the future. He is still in a superficial realm where he can become timid as quickly as he gets into trouble. Before he could react, Paulson grabbed him by the throat.
"You're looking for fucking death. Back then I..."
Before he finished speaking, Paulson's hand holding Ronaldo's neck was broken open with a grappling hand and formed an anti-joint. Zhuo Yang took Liang Zi and said, "You are looking for death. Didn't I let you have a good memory back then?"
Paulson himself doesn't know why, but he has been doing evil in football over the years, but he is deeply afraid of two people-Zhuo Yang and Mad Dog Rand.
If you do more evil, you will naturally encounter more punishment for evil and promotion of good. Paulson is often targeted by his opponents, but including the other Five Musketeers, he has never been intimidated by anyone, but Qiong Zhuoyang and Mad Dog.
despite this,
Paulson still refused to give up: "Oh, Zhuoyang, you fucking let me loose..."
Before he finished speaking, Paulson's neck was grabbed by someone with two hands, forcing his words back into his stomach.
The fierce look of Kaka is fascinating. "Why are you, this piece of trash, still alive?"
It's rare for Kaka to make a move, and it's rare for boss Bimei to fight for the top spot in the crowd. Zhuo Yang, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Paulson collectively felt miraculous at this moment. Paulson even temporarily forgot about the pain of his wrist being locked.
The matter ended when Ronaldo took the opportunity to push back and referee Kralovic separated everyone. Paulson rubbed his hands and said harsh words to Ronaldo and Kaka: "Watch your legs!"
"Be careful with your life!" Zhuo Yang stretched his neck to warn him.
So, in the next part of the game, Paulson chased Kaká and Ronaldo to play, and Zhuoyang chased him around to play. Paulson had to avoid Zhuoyang despite his busy schedule.
At the 38th minute of the game, the score between the two sides was still very pale at 0:0. Real Madrid had a high ball possession rate on the court, and all kinds of kicks kept hitting the Ajax penalty area. Apart from not scoring, Real Madrid looked fine.
Magic Flute sought cooperation with Kaká in the middle, and after one-on-one, they formed a temporary triangle formation with Ronaldo. The three of them have good foot skills, but the Ajax midfielder kept attacking but could not do anything to them for a while.
Zhuoyang hadn't caught up in the backcourt yet. Looking at the three of them, he seemed to see Barcelona's midfielder walking around in a trance. Although this scene was worth pondering, Zhuo Yang didn't have time to dwell on it and quickly adjusted his position to meet them.
Kaka and Ronaldo are five meters apart, one to the left and one to the right. The Magic Flute forms an inverted triangle behind them, and this triangle is constantly moving and changing.
Kaka dribbled the ball horizontally, and Ronaldo met him and shifted positions. Paulson was indeed very clever. He got stuck in the running route of the two men, and even pulled three people and squeezed them.
Paulson pinned Kaka with his left leg and kicked Ronaldo's ankle with his right foot. The president was not an ordinary person. He drew his legs back to avoid vulnerable parts, but was hit in the face by Paulson.
A lump lost its balance and fell to the ground at the same time, with the football in the middle of the lump.
The fourth man came over and stretched his legs to attract the football, but was also kicked to the ground by Paulson. He didn't care who the visitor was, it didn't matter who he was, as long as he had white socks, he was the enemy.
Zhuo Yang grabbed Paulson's leg and smashed it into the crowd. The energy of his Dantian filled his right leg, and his left knee silently hit Paulson's lower back.
Referee Kralovic's whistle sounded. Although Paulson committed a foul, he knocked down three core players of Real Madrid at once. He was like Lu Wenhou in front of Hulao Pass.
Paulson was very proud. Such a foul without even a yellow card was very morale-boosting and gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Zhuo Yang, Kaka, and Ronaldo helped each other up. The president's expression was full of grief and anger, while Kaka looked at Zhuo Yang with concern, while Zhuo Yang was completely as if nothing had happened. Kaka felt that this look definitely meant something was wrong.
Paulson felt very comfortable because there was a hint of mint coolness on his lower back, which reminded him of the ridiculous night he had with a Russian bar girl in the past.
On the side of the lower back, there is the Jingmen point, also known as Qifu and Qishu. It belongs to the Gallbladder Meridian of Foot Shaoyang. Kidney acupuncture point.
