Chapter 142 Don’t pass it to him!

Solari shouted from the sidelines, but this could not change the sluggish state of the Real Madrid players on the court.

After the restart, Real Madrid's players still wanted to organize an attack, but the ball passed to Benzema's feet and was immediately intercepted by Schone and De Jong.

Ajax quickly organized another attack. Tadic passed the ball to the center. Lin Ke stopped the opponent's chest, removed the ball, raised his foot and shot.

Unfortunately it's a little higher.

However, this time the counterattack left Real Madrid with lingering fears, because Ajax's counterattack was too fast.

Lin Kedi in the middle can shoot unexpectedly. When a cross is passed from the wing, Lin Kedi can fight with the central defender to grab the ball, or he can directly head the ball towards the goal.

In short, Ajax has an in-form Lin Kedi at the center position, and they have an offensive fulcrum in the frontcourt. They can just look for him in the backcourt.

With a few simple passes, Ajax can create an offensive threat.

But looking at Real Madrid, Vinicius's cross is really not good, and Benzema is also in a very sluggish state today. Several shots either missed the mark or were weak.

Vazquez on the right completed the task quite well.

His task is to be responsible for breaking through crosses. But he can't be counted on for more things.

So after conceding the second goal, Real Madrid's midfielder began to participate more in the attack.

Modric, Kroos and Casemiro all have long-range shots.

Since the overall forward line is sluggish, let the midfielders have a try.

This is what Real Madrid players are really thinking on the field.

Subsequently, Modric and Kroos took turns stepping forward to assist.

Casemiro stayed in the backcourt to defend, but Vazquez knew that he was of little help at this time, so he decisively retreated and played the role of a full midfielder.

Although Modric and Kroos had long shots.

But Ajax is able to bend and stretch, its offense can be played smoothly, and its defense can quickly retreat with all its players.

Although the best way to break a dense defense is set pieces and long shots.

But Modric and Kroos' long-range shots still failed to threaten Ajax's goal.

And he always shoots from long range and loses the ball easily.

Finally, in the 37th minute, Modric took a long shot and missed the goal kick.

Ajax got the ball back.

Onana delayed for a while, and when the referee came over to give a warning, Onana kicked the ball to Mazrawi.

Mazraoui passed the ball across to the goalkeeper. When the goalkeeper received the ball, De Jong ran forward.

Schneider took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to De Jong.

After receiving the ball, De Jong looked up and observed, and immediately made a long pass.

De Jong's ball was passed, and Lin Kedi immediately inserted into the gap between Nacho and Reguilon.

De Jong has been obsessed with long passes for a long time recently.

This simple and efficient offensive method has also been praised by Ten Hag, who believes that this kind of passing can enrich Ajax's offensive methods.

Lin Kedi heard De Jong say that when he was watching Liverpool games when he was very young, he saw Xabi Alonso often pass long passes like this. Half-turning and suddenly making a long pass, this has become Alonso

The iconic long pass. When he was at Real Madrid, Alonso often used such long passes to complete assists.

De Jong likes this kind of long pass very much. One of the reasons is very simple. He and Alonso are in similar positions, both in the defensive midfield position. If you want to participate in the attack at this position, the more method is to pass the long pass, which can both participate in the attack.

Attack without causing yourself to lose position.

So De Jong began to try this kind of precise long pass in official games.

This was my first try in this game, and I directly found Lin Ke's opponent in the frontcourt.

Lin Kedi stretched out his right leg, stopped the ball, and moved his left foot towards Nacho.

Facing the enemy Lin Ke, Nacho did not dare to take action easily.

When Lin Kedi saw this, he directly fried the meatballs and successfully broke through.

Entered the restricted area.

Lin Kedi originally wanted to shoot directly, but Courtois reacted faster and held the ball down as if he was throwing his whole body. Lin Kedi was also taken down by the situation.

Ziyech on the side immediately raised his hands and shouted to the referee.

However, the referee decisively made a no gesture.

Afterwards, Lin Kedi did not hesitate and decisively stood up and ran back to participate in the defense.

Courtois wanted to launch a fast break, but Ajax's defense was also very fast.

Although Courtois felt that his ball might be destroyed, he still passed the ball to Benzema in the frontcourt.

Benzema's back-up and header abilities are very good. He first back-up and lean against the defending De Jong, then header the ball a little towards Modric's position.

Modric looked back before catching the ball and found that Linke was not far behind him. So, after catching the ball, he did not turn to the right, but directly passed the ball to the left side of Vinicius Vinicius.

Pass it on.

As soon as Vinicius received the ball, Mazraoui immediately followed him, which made Vinicius very uncomfortable.

He could only turn around and try to open up another battlefield, but Mazraoui did nothing else but block his inside lane, leaving Vinicius to continue dribbling the ball along the sideline.

In this way, even if Vinicius reaches the bottom line, the most threatening thing is the inverted triangle.

But Vinicius never takes the ball to the baseline. Instead, he takes it to the left corner of the penalty area and makes a decisive pass.

But Vinicius's skill points are not focused on passing skills, so Benzema cannot catch the ball that is passed out.

Benzema was angry for the second time.

The first half of the game is almost over.

Benzema has already made a certain decision secretly in his heart.

Until the end of the first half, Real Madrid had no chance to score.

Because the ball can't be passed into the penalty area at all.

Benzema was very angry and upset.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, he spread his hands helplessly.

Immediately, he turned and walked towards Modric.

"Luka, don't pass the ball to him in the second half! He didn't do anything. He played incompatible with our game. Don't pass the ball to him!" (from the 2-2 away game of Real Madrid in the 2020-21 Champions League group stage)

(During the draw with Gladbach)

Modric was stunned, but quickly reacted.

"Karim, don't say such things here!"

Modric said to Benzema very seriously.

"Luka, I know what you mean, but we are already 4 goals behind. If we want to create a miracle, we must have one person on the court to attack! Especially the forward position!"

Modric and Benzema have a good relationship, but they are not close enough to be buddy-buddy. When I heard Benzema's words, I felt mixed.

Modric watched as Benzema continued to walk towards Kroos.

Modric stopped walking towards the tunnel.

He wanted to hear what Cross had to say.

Speak generously.

As soon as he got close, he heard Cross say something.

"Okay, I think so too."

Modric was shocked.

"Tony, what did you say? Do you agree with Karim?"

"Why don't you agree? He did not play well in the first half. He was so restricted by the opponent. What's the problem with not passing the ball to him? You have also seen that his cross is indeed not good. Do you expect him to play 15

Learn how to pass in minutes? So, in the second half we have to look for other passing points."

"Actually, we can try more penetration in the middle. I have been playing on both sides in the first half. The opponent is very confident in preventing high balls!"

Modric couldn't help but replied.

In fact, although he doesn't agree with talking about his teammates in this way, the current situation is stronger than others, and the objective reality is here.

Modric agreed silently.
