Real Madrid soccer team
Lined up in 433, basically the same as the last game, Varverde, who made the tackles at the waist up front in the last game, continued to play on the right, the forward line was still Benzema and Vinicius, the midfielders were Kroos, Modric, and Casemiro, the centerbacks became Nacho plus Alaba, and the wingbacks Carvajal and Mendy, only Militao, who is injured, can't play.
Chelsea
Making a backwater formation, Tuchel changed his formation to 433 with Rudiger, T. Silva, James, M. Alonso at the back, and most crucially in midfield, he removed Jorginho and replaced him with Kovacic plus Kante plus Loftus-Cheek, and up front Havertz played at center forward, with Mount and Werner on the wings
Chelsea
This change of formation is very decisive, can be said to be very successful, the last game of 343 by Ančić hit the two wings, resulting in two wingbacks are close to paralyzed, the form of the very good James are not able to play, this is a different game, Tuchel simply do not have to organize the back of the midfield, such as all rows of engineers, completely against the
Real Madrid soccer team
The midfield has been destructive in the past, and Modric and Kroos are both quite old.
Chelsea
This side is relatively young and physical, and Tuchel actually wants to play a complete war of attrition to destroy the
Real Madrid soccer team
middle period of a tripartite provincial exam (in former times)
Real Madrid soccer team
Interesting too, I saw Ancelotti's reaction to this one was fantastic, he didn't have any emotional reaction when it was clear the situation was going against him all the time, and
Real Madrid soccer team
It was all in the press at the start, and to top it off Modric actually played immediately as an attacking midfielder up front, as if he wanted to take the next goal right away and wasn't particularly holding back on physicality
in the end
Chelsea
They came to fight for their lives and immediately went for the jugular, with Rudiger, Kante, and Loftus-Cheek in particular, and Rudiger in particular, simply bursting at the seams.
Real Madrid soccer team
As soon as the midfield gained the advantage to pass forward he would suddenly rush up to break the ball, and just kept on intercepting it
Real Madrid soccer team
Possible attacks
It's only 15 minutes into the game.
Chelsea
Loftus-Cheek and Werner made a very fast wall to pop the ball to Mount, these three people on the same side of the pressure to send Mount to the box 14 yards, he did not stop the ball directly pushed the high-speed shot to break the upper corner of the ball, this ball is still pushed with the inside of the foot, very calm, and pushed the action but caused the full speed of the shot, Courtois can not do anything! Catch
Chelsea
The constant pressure since then has obviously been very successful, and after adjusting to a 433 for this game, the
Chelsea
collaborate directly with
Real Madrid soccer team
Matchups (they're better at almost every position than the
Real Madrid soccer team
The main player is young), then the two wingbacks are required to attack and defense are in place, if there is a real loss of defensive position, it will be completely handed over to the three workhorse midfielders to fill in, and then the side went up to the pass, Havertz and Werner and Mount has been doing a one-time insertion, it looks like they all want to take a shot on goal, but you do not know when they will be divided by a foot, so simple and direct soccer restraint! It's a simple, direct soccer game.

There's no way the three midfielders can keep up.
Chelsea
With three midfielders against each other, especially Kante, who is known for his physicality and coverage, and Kovacic, who is very stiff, it was time to pull Varverde back to midfield to join the rush, but it was only early in the game.
Chelsea
The ferocity of the game was more than expected, and if we let him back down at this point, it might cause Benzema and Vinicius to break the line up front, so we had to keep it up and stabilize the situation first.
Real Madrid soccer team
I feel like I didn't see it coming.
Chelsea
So the whole defense dared not move, and the midfield retreated, but they still couldn't defend.
Chelsea
A round of death squad style shock.
Chelsea
The first half didn't really feature a controlled press, mostly scrambling except for the Mount hit which was very nice, but the
Real Madrid soccer team
That's where it collapsed. At first they were able to get through by conduction.
Chelsea
Counterattacking in dense areas, but as the game clock ticks down.
Real Madrid soccer team
A lot of people are starting to go wrong. Carvajal can't hold it at all.
Chelsea
On the left, they're exhausted, and on the left, Mendy is making a lot of mistakes, it looks like he's trying to get the ball out away from his own box and making mistakes instead, and Vinicius is too eager to get the ball and try to go forward hard, all because they can't stand it.
Chelsea
Strong physical play advantage, fear of dropping the ball is the only way to go
The experienced Modric knows that there's no way to play offense now, and he has to save some energy to stabilize at the back, Casemiro stares as much as he can, but this time it's popping up all around him, you can tell that Casemiro is under pressure, he knows that the forward passes won't be able to take shape even on counterattacks, but the passes in the middle of the field get robbed very quickly, and there's a lot of pressure on him to stabilize at his waist, and it's a lot of pressure on him to keep it together, and it's a lot of pressure to keep it together.
Chelsea
Now it's coming up for a shot, and Casemiro's not afraid to keep the ball at his feet for too long.
The first half ended in this situation, Tuchel saw that the tactics were very effective and Anče did not make any personnel and tactical changes, in the second half Tuchel put more pressure, he let Rudiger go up to the front, but also let M. Alonso go up, as long as you can't get in to the game, you'll try to create corners, in the first half, Rudiger already had a very dangerous long-distance shot and headers in the penalty area, in the second half, he was again Push forward
Real Madrid soccer team
I can't stand it.
