"Real Madrid's defense line injury crisis vs. Pachuca's high-altitude bombing! Long Dong beats the substitute central defender, and North America will stage the ultimate collision of technical flow and muscle war tonight!"

At 3 a.m. on June 23, Real Madrid will face Mexican powerhouse Pachuca in the second round of Group H. This game is crucial for Real Madrid, who is determined to save themselves.

Let’s take a look at the current situation of both parties first. Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Riyadh Crescent in the first round, Mbappe was absent due to a high fever, and Valverde missed a penalty in stoppage time, revealing some problems. However, Real Madrid's overall strength is still strong, with the team's net worth as high as 1.33 billion euros. Vinicius has been in a hot state recently and has contributed 3 goals and 2 assists in the last 5 games. Pachuca lost 1-2 to Salzburg Red Bull in the first round and is currently at the bottom of the group. However, they have shown strong strength in the Central and North American Champions League. The 39-year-old veteran Long Dong is the core of the offensive, scoring 6 goals in his last 10 games, and his header success rate is as high as 65%.

Tactical level, Real Madrid continues the 4-3-3 high-voltage ball control system, emphasizing blasting on the wing, but the defense line is seriously injured, and the main players such as Militon and Carvajal are absent, and the substitute defense line is not tall enough, so it may be difficult to face Long Dong's header threat. Pachuca adopts a 5-4-1 defensive counterattack formation, focusing on physical confrontation and set-piece tactics, with Gonzalez's direct scoring rate of 12%. In the historical confrontation, Real Madrid defeated Pachuca 3-0 in the InterContinental Cup final in December last year. However, this game is played in North America, and the high temperature of 33℃ may have an impact on Real Madrid's physical fitness, and Pachuca is more adapted to this climate.

Sweep the market today, personal analysis, ideal reference

Overall, Real Madrid has the advantage in strength, but we need to be wary of Pachuca's set pieces and counterattacks. Real Madrid is expected to win a 2-1 2-1 victory, with Vinicius and Bellingham leading the game, and Longdong may score for Pachuca. Let us wait and see the collision between this European technology flow and the Central and North American powerhouses!
