On April 7, Beijing time, the Champions League quarterfinals ushered in the showdown between the last champion Chelsea and the old powerhouse Real Madrid, which was eliminated by Chelsea in the semi-finals last season, and this season they will not make a second mistake, the old strong team of the Champions League won the first leg with a score of 3-1, bringing two goal difference advantages to the second leg of the showdown.
Not long ago against Chelsea, Real Madrid lost 0-4 to their rivals Barca, and although they also won Celta 2-1, it is clear that this team is the more underblaid side in the quarter-finals, both in form and hard power. However, after the game, Ancelotti led the Real Madrid generals to punch everyone in the face, because the tactic he discharged in this game was too suitable.
In the quarter-final against Chelsea, Ancelotti did not use Rodrigo or Asensio, two right wingers, but sent Valverde to play a 442 squad on paper, so what was the actual effect? The team's overall squad leans to the left, with valverde flying down the right side of the road, assisting the defense and also participating more in the small range of the ceremonial three midfielders, not only sticking to the cliché of the bottom pass.
With Valverde's defense, Real Madrid's real threat point can be free to play, Vinicius and Benzema's forward combination brings a huge threat to Chelsea on the left side, tired of inserting the attacking Reese James has no way to defend deeply, the front combination and Modric suppressed Chelsea's back line in terms of technology, strength and speed, Benzema was able to smoothly display his talents, scoring two consecutive headers in one minute and finally harvesting a wonderful goal assisted by the opposing goalkeeper.
However, this game is not without turning points, Militang's injury also gave Chelsea the opportunity, Real Madrid, which lost the reinforcement point of the defensive high point, was pulled back by Chelsea using the height advantage, and after Militang came off, Real Madrid's overall defense was obviously not as good as before, Chelsea had the opportunity to do more in the second half, but unfortunately they were not able to do it, which is Chelsea's own problem.
For Real Madrid, the two-goal advantage does not mean that it can be easily promoted, after all, the next game even if the return from injury Militang can not play due to a yellow card ban, the lack of this defensive real Madrid's passive situation has been clear at a glance, the second leg whether it is Chelsea or Real Madrid need to lift the spirit of twelve points to the end, in order to really decide the ownership of the promotion quota.
