What pains Benítez the most is that the team's self-righteous adjustments mean nothing even if he can turn things around.
Because if you don't use this set of tactics, the tactics he laid out before the game are useless.
Lazio's tactics were just right to restrain him.
That kind of high-position pressing and that kind of intense close defense made Real Madrid players unable to even turn around, so how could they pass the ball forward?
If Real Madrid is much stronger than Lazio, then Lazio still hopes to win if Real Madrid fights like this, because fighting like this requires a lot of energy.
But I can’t say who is stronger or weaker between the two teams. Maybe Lazio is even stronger.
In addition, Lazio's physical fitness has been the biggest magic weapon for their success in the past ten years. Good physical fitness has almost become a Lazio tradition...
Therefore, if Lazio's physical fitness is expected to decline, and then Real Madrid can take advantage of it, then Real Madrid may have conceded more goals before then...
What the players are playing now doesn't work. The problem is that neither does his method.
Lazio's high press really caught Benitez by surprise.
He thought Lazio was going to defend and counterattack.
Lazio counterattacked defensively, but only when Real Madrid pressed forward.
Normally, Lazio's defense is to press closely and create many difficulties for Real Madrid to advance.
Benitez glanced at Chang Sheng next door.
The best coach in Europe who became famous at a young age is indeed amazing!
※※※
After Real Madrid played like this for a while, they found that they also made a lot of mistakes, because they did not have a player in the frontcourt who could control the high ball, so this long pass was just for Jose Passarella.
Just provide the other Lazio players with a chance to clear the ball.
There is no benefit at all to their attack.
Although Benitez didn't say a word, the players realized they had made a mistake.
So they gave up this simple and crude style of play and returned to their tradition of attacking on the ground and flying with both wings.
Faced with Real Madrid's style of play, Lazio continued to press closely, forcing their midfielder to make mistakes in passing and receiving.
The situation between the two sides became tense again.
But the stalemate at this time was a little different from the previous stalemate, because Lazio already had a goal in hand.
They seemed more calm and calm, constantly using passes to mobilize Real Madrid players.
Real Madrid's players are now even more anxious. They are constantly running after the football on the pitch.
This is of course a sign of the players' high morale, but if things go on like this, the players' physical energy will be depleted very quickly, which is not good for them in the second half of the game.
Real Madrid knows this truth, but they can't think about it so much now.
All they could think about was to equalize the score as soon as possible.
They also know very well how dangerous it is to concede a goal first when facing Lazio.
Although not many people will mention "Lazio rhythm" nowadays, it actually exists.
It won't cease to exist just because you don't mention it.
The 1:0 score lasted until the end of the first half.
Many people thought that Real Madrid was very lucky not to concede a goal in the rest of the first half.
In fact, Real Madrid's offense basically did not threaten Lazio's goal, but Lazio's offense repeatedly threatened Real Madrid's goal.
Anyway, during the halftime break, many expert guests admitted that they did not see the possibility of Real Madrid beating Lazio.
But despite this, there are still many Real Madrid fans who are lucky.
Anyway, Lazio is only one goal ahead of Real Madrid now. Although Real Madrid's performance is indeed not very good, this is home court after all. Maybe a Real Madrid player falling in the Lazio penalty area can earn Real Madrid a penalty kick.
Woolen cloth?
Or, there is no reason at all, Real Madrid scored a goal anyway with just one attack?
Football is round and always has its unpredictable side. No one stipulates that you can't win without dominating the field.
In football matches, there are too many examples of being at a disadvantage but winning in the end.
Real Madrid fans carried this vision with them during halftime.
However, when the second half of the game started, they quickly discovered that the reality was cruel. Real Madrid's prospects in this game were not as good as they had imagined.
Even if it was just a fluke, they didn't have it.
At the beginning of the second half, Lazio suddenly exerted its strength, and it exerted its strength very quickly and fiercely. This was completely beyond Real Madrid's expectations.
Facing Lazio's fierce offensive, Real Madrid defended in a very awkward manner and seemed to be in a hurry.
And just ten minutes into the second half, they conceded another goal!

"This is a corner kick opportunity for Lazio... Ji Ming takes the corner kick... Jose - beautiful! Beautiful! Jose Passarella!! Beautiful lion head shake! The ball goes in!!"
"Lazio took advantage of a corner kick and scored their second goal of the game! It was perfect! At the beginning of the second half, they led Real Madrid by two goals!"
"Real Madrid is leading by two goals. For Lazio, this kind of game basically means stability!"
"Jose Passarella! The most trustworthy person in Lazio and the eternal captain of the Blue Eagle! He will definitely step forward when the team needs him!"
"Thirty-nine-year-old Jose Passarella! Amazing! At such an old age, he scored against Real Madrid... Look at his performance in this corner kick... His movement perfectly reflects his
Judging from this bounce of consciousness, one would never imagine that he is already thirty-nine years old!"
"José Passarella has played for Lazio for many years. He has had many partners around him, but he is the only one who is still standing in this position. I think this is enough to explain a lot of problems!"
…
The commentators were generous in their praise for Jose Passarella.
No matter which country you are from, there is no exception. Even the commentator on Spanish TV is the same.
As a player, Jose Passarella is quite low-key on the court. He rarely uses flagrant fouls to block opponents. He is humble and low-key and full of passion for football. And in life, he is also very low-key.
There has never been any negative news.
Players like him are very popular both inside and outside the circle.
Moreover, a thirty-nine-year-old veteran can still perform so well on the court, which is indeed worthy of people's admiration.
It doesn't hurt to say something nice.

When Jose Passarella headed the football into the Real Madrid goal, Chang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, although the second half only started ten minutes, the result of this game has already been locked.
Lazio will win this match.
Unless Lazio's players are stupid.
Because Lazio's tactics clearly restrained Real Madrid.
Sure enough, in the next game, although Benitez made continuous substitution adjustments, Real Madrid still seemed to have no way to deal with Lazio's tireless pressing.
If they're lucky, they might even be able to score.
But they just didn't have good luck in this game.
The best chance was for Benavente to hit the goal post and bounce out.
This was the closest attack Real Madrid came to scoring a goal in this game.
The Real Madrid fans watching screamed in surprise.
After Benavente's shot, Chang Sheng also made adjustments. He replaced the veteran center Cavani and replaced the midfielder Wu Lei.
Enhance the control ability in the midfield and use the ball to defend.
After Wu Lei came on the court, Lazio played at a slower pace.
Then Messi was replaced by Chang Sheng with Modric.
As a result, Mario Gotze is left on the front line for counterattacks, and there are as many as five people in the midfield.
These five men firmly controlled the midfield.
Both Modric and Wu Lei have a lot of experience. As they get older, although their physical fitness is not as good as before, their skills with their feet are becoming more pure, and their awareness is outstanding.
When the football is at their feet, people can't help but feel at ease.
They have experienced all kinds of storms and waves, but they are much calmer and more experienced than those young players.
During the game, there was a continuous two-on-one between Modric and Wu Lei. In fact, the football did not advance much. However, through the continuous one-on-one between the two, the football was stunned in a very small space.
In the space, he avoided the interceptions of two opposing players.
Sometimes, their passing is so imaginative that they don't even need to observe the opponent's position for many years of cooperation, so that they know the opponent's running habits very well.
Even if you turn your back to the opponent and knock the football over with your heel, you will not make a mistake.
Modric is thirty-six years old and his physical fitness is declining rapidly.
As a Chinese player, Wu Lei is only 29 years old, but his health has begun to decline. This is a common problem for many Asian players. After thirty, his physical fitness declines significantly, and his performance on the field also plummets.
Wu Lei could not escape the natural laws of this human race.
However, his physical fitness is declining rapidly, but his performance on the field has not plummeted. This is first of all due to the good training of Lazio Club, and secondly, his own professionalism. His life is very clean and professional.
It also ensured that his condition would not decline so quickly.
The continuous passing between the two people also caused the Real Madrid fans in the stands to boo.
Ridiculing them, they only dare to pass the ball back and forth from behind, but don't dare to go forward at all.
As a result, amidst their boos, Modric suddenly changed his strategy after receiving Wu Lei's pass and made a long pass!
The football went straight to Gotze.
Gotze received the ball and shot.
Although the football did not score, it scared the Real Madrid fans into a cold sweat...
If we score another goal, this game will be meaningless! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
