After all, Barcelona lost 4 to 4 away to Paris Saint-Germain. Remind Real Madrid that there are no weak players in the Champions League.

Naples have performed very well in Serie A this season, and this scene is also not afraid of Real Madrid, especially before the game, the famous Naples and the king Maradona came to the St. Paul Stadium to cheer for Naples, it is even more Inspired the morale of the Serie A team.

This is reflected in the opening, Napoli played very actively, putting pressure on Real Madrid in the frontcourt.

Tony Ross made a mistake in the return pass, which almost caused a goal and made the emperor immediately startled in a cold sweat.

Then striker Insigne turned around in front of the goal and shot a long shot, which was saved by Kurtova sideways.

Real Madrid didn't finish the first foot shot of the audience until the fifteenth minute. Modric made a direct pass from the right and sent a counterattack. Suarez made a cross from the right. Tony Ross made a long shot from outside the penalty area and was confiscated by goalkeeper Reina. Failed to create a threat.

In the twenty-fourth minute, Insigne's left rib sent a direct pass, Hamsik did not adjust at the front of the penalty area and directly knocked the ball behind Real Madrid's defense line. Mertens, who was inserted in the back row, received After the ball, the left foot pushed into the far corner, the ball passed under Kourtuva and penetrated Real Madrid's goal.

The Naples player who performed very well in Serie A this season, after scoring, was excited and rushed across the court. He was cheered by many Naples fans on the stadium and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Obviously, Naples is eager to advance to the quarterfinals.

For them, this will be a historic record, especially against the powerful Real Madrid.

But only four minutes later, Hazard sent a cross from the left. After Yang Yang withdrew his back to catch the ball, he turned to the left and sent a low straight pass to the right foot to accurately send the ball to the top of the penalty area. At the foot of Suarez on the right.

After the Uruguayan striker scored the ball, he walked directly into the penalty area and formed a single-handed. Facing the goalkeeper Reina, Suarez calmly kicked the ball and sent the ball into the goal of Naples.

"nice shot!"

"Real Madrid equalized one by one, assists from Yang Yang."

"This is an assist that embodies Yang Yang's personal ability. The timing of this ball is just right. It was just the moment Suarez started, and there was no offside. After receiving the ball, the Uruguayan forward can easily walk. Enter the restricted area and hit the door with your right foot. "

"This is the value of Yang Yang. At a critical moment, his personal ability can change the trend of the game."

"Real Madrid, with Yang Yang assisting Suarez's goal, one to one, the game returned to the same starting line."

After equalizing the score, Naples still wanted to control the situation.

In the thirty-seventh minute, Alan sent a straight pass from the right flank, and Mertens fired in front of the goal. Harvey Martinez, who was back in time, fell to the ground and blocked the ball from the bottom line, failing to form a threat.

Then the two teams also attacked and defended each other, and no one could create a threat.

In the end, the one-to-one score remained until the end of the first half.

Back in the visiting team's locker room, Real Madrid's players are breathless, but everyone's face is a stranger.

"This Naples is really strange."

"Isn't it? It's completely beyond our expectations."

"This is not like a typical Italian team, but a little like a La Liga team."

"Yeah, I have some doubts, are we playing La Liga?"

Not only were Real Madrid players surprised by the tactics of Naples, but even the coaching staff were quite surprised.

It's not about the technical and tactical style of Naples, because under the coach of Italian coach Sarri, Naples' tactics are like this, tending to pass the control of the play, not unique in Serie A itself.

What really surprised the Real Madrid coaching staff was that Naples was very positive in this game and was not conservative at all, which surprised both Yang Yang and Zidane.

You should know that when looking at European football, when other teams encounter Real Madrid, they often seek stability, and the Italian team itself is very defensive, but Sarri gave up the traditional advantage of the Serie A team and took the initiative to attack. Real Madrid is tough, but this is unexpected to Real Madrid.

"In the first half, their midfield and forefront pressure made us a bit caught off guard." David Bettoni analyzed.

Yang Yang was on the court, feeling the deepest and nodding his head in agreement.

Especially in the opening, the rhythm was directly lost. Naples continuously created a threat at the opening. Real Madrid did not have a first shot until the 15th minute, which reflected the difference in the opening tactics of the two teams.

It can be said that Real Madrid missed the opportunity.

But this is not the point, because it is also the norm afterwards.

"We have to reverse this situation in the second half, we need to regain the rhythm of the game and regain control of the ball." Zidane said very determinedly, this is the team's second half strategy.

As for how to do this, it requires a lot of game details, especially local tactics.

"I think Naples of Surrey looks like a pass and control game, but in fact it is not, their players have not been able to kick the skillful pass and control ball, the real skill is that Hamsick's assist and pass The timing was just right, and after passing the ball straight behind, he caught us off guard. "

"But most of the time, due to the limitations of players' technical ability, Napoli want to maintain the pass and control of the ball. In order to ensure the accuracy of passing and receiving, they do not want to miss too many goals, so their players stand. It ’s more compact, and it ’s rare to drive straight from the backcourt to the frontcourt. This one can be used. ”

As a striker, Yang Yang has the most direct observation of Napoli's play in the midfield and backcourt, because he is the first to bear the brunt.

"You mean" Zidane's eyes lit up. "We strengthen the pressure in the midfield in the second half?"

"Yes, just press it up and kill them!" Yang Yang smiled confidently.

When everyone heard this, they all couldn't help laughing.

Yang Yang can always bring confidence to players and coaching staff, whether it is his confidence or his analysis.

The second half restarted, and the two teams changed sides to fight again.

Real Madrid decisively changed the tactical play in the first half. The whole team made a big push from the beginning, especially Yang Yang and Suarez. Both of them were almost tightly tied to Naples' back line.

In this game, Real Madrid adopted a four-two-two formation, and the midfield and the back line also followed closely forward, which immediately put pressure on Napoli's passing and receiving.

Facts have proved that Yang Yang's observations in the first half were correct.

As a Serie A team, Napoli's pass and control skills are not as good as La Liga, especially in front of Real Madrid, it is even more difficult.

When Real Madrid responded, readjusted their tactics and began to press and press in the midfield and frontcourt, Napoli's back line suddenly had a disorder out of the ball, and their tactics, as Yang Yang expected, easily refused to pass long backcourt.

Just like Barcelona's concept of ball control, the risk of a long pass is too high.

Another point is that their players' running position is not like a passing position for the ball, because for the passing team, the player's running position is to run out of the space for receiving and passing, but Naples's The player is obviously not enough in the running position, which makes the direction of the ball receiver not much.

So there was a Real Madrid snatch, and Napoli played in the backcourt chaos.

After only ten minutes of play in the second half, Yang Yang realized that this is actually a fake ball control, especially in front of Real Madrid, Napoli is obviously not enough to control the ball rights and rhythm.

And soon, the Serie A team's back line finally made a mistake.

Suarez blocked the forward pass of the opposing center defender Culibari and will go to the bottom line, while the Uruguayan forward quickly chased forward. After receiving the ball in front of the bottom line, he quickly turned to protect the ball and knocked back in time.

In the right corner of the penalty area, Carvajal quickly plugged in. After receiving the ball, the right corner rubbed a pick pass.

The ball crossed more than half of the restricted area and quickly fell to the left of the front of the small restricted area, while Yang Yang sprinted from the periphery of the large restricted area and leaped high when approaching the front of the small restricted area. The ball hits the goal.

After rubbing the ball on Yang Yang's forehead, the ball changed direction and hit Naples' goal with great speed.

"!!!!!!!!!"

"Two to one!"

"Yang Yang reversed the score in the 57th minute of the second half for Real Madrid to go to the next city."

"The mistake of Napoli in the backcourt gave Real Madrid a chance to strike back in the frontcourt. This was a very serious backline mistake."

"Obviously, Real Madrid strengthened the pressure on Napoli's frontcourt in the second half, which led to frequent mistakes in Napoli's backcourt, and Real Madrid seized an opportunity to reverse the score."

"The current situation is very unfavorable to Naples, because if they want to tie the score, they must take the initiative to fight for more goals, and two away goals are also a very good advantage for Real Madrid. "

"Now look at Surrey's choice."
