I Want to Be the King of Football - Chapter 984
If only judging from the score in the first half, Manchester City got a not-so-good result.
Two to one, giving Real Madrid a valuable away goal.
If this score is maintained until the intermission, although Manchester City won the first leg, the second leg is still very dangerous, especially to be a hell-level away game like the Bernabeu, the challenge is quite huge.
Fortunately, there is still the second half of this game.
After the players returned to the locker room, the mood was pretty good, and the spirits were pretty good.
Obviously, this is the effect brought about by Su Dong’s second goal. Without that goal, Manchester City was tied by Real Madrid in the first half, and the players’ mood would be completely different.
After Pep Guardiola saw the players’ situation, he was basically satisfied with the morale of the team, so he didn’t say much, but raised some of the problems that Manchester City encountered in the attack in the first half.
He insisted that Manchester City in the second half must continue to attack and must score goals again.
“Our three lines must maintain pressure on Real Madrid, and we must not give the opponent a chance to breathe. We must strive to win the opponent in one go, and establish an advantage in the first round of the home game, and then take the initiative in the second round.”
Knockouts are targeted tactics. Whoever has the initiative will have more chances.
Manchester City itself is the kind of tactical style dominated by me. It rarely changes the style and tactics of the team according to the opponent, and more only makes targeted adjustments in some details.
“At the same time, our two sides need to be more active, and the side attack in the first half was not enough.”
Pep Guardiola did not name the names, but he also made criticisms. The main reason was that the team did not play a good offense from the wing, which caused the team to fall into a stalemate in the first half. The number of counterattacks by Real Madrid was actually not many, but it happened. A goal.
Sometimes, football matches are like this. There are many opportunities, which does not mean that you will be able to score a goal. Sometimes it seems that there is no chance, but you will be able to score a goal.
Guardiola focused on the team’s offense in the first half, and put forward some opinions, especially for the wing.
Aveloya’s defensive ability is obvious to all. When he was in Liverpool, he was known for freezing Messi. After coming to Real Madrid, he soon became the main right-back under Pellegrini, as well as Spain’s international.
Coentron is both offensive and defensive. He played very well in the Portuguese national team, so he was bought by Real Madrid with a lot of money. His joining also changed Real Madrid’s previous weakness and vacancy on the left.
It can be said that with these two full-backs, and the double midfielder formed by Khedira and Harvey Alonso, Real Madrid’s defense is still very strong.
Sanchez and Di Maria’s personal abilities are indeed very strong, but it is really difficult to take the ball to open Real Madrid’s defense.
Especially when the full-back can’t step forward to help more.
As for the full-back, the pressure is also great. Marcelo is facing Benzema, and Sabaletta’s right is facing Cristiano Ronaldo. He is too risky to press up and he is beaten in minutes. Behind him, no one dared to be careless.
This is also the difficulty of the Champions League knockout.
Every matchup is a strong dialogue, every opponent is a strong team with superior strength, no one can steadily eat the opponent, if you don’t pay attention, the opponent will gnaw bones.
And at this time, having a top superstar with outstanding strength will show its effect.
Whether it was Real Madrid in the first half, using the cooperation of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo to create a free kick in the frontcourt, or two goals by Su Dong, to some extent, it is the player’s personal ability. Rewrite the typical game trend.
…
As the number one star in the team and the captain of the team, Guardiola also wants to hear Su Dong’s thoughts at this time.
After being named by the head coach, the other players all looked at Su Dong in unison.
In this dressing room, Su Dong is more prestigious than Guardiola.
Seeing everyone’s eyes and feeling the eager anticipation in their eyes, Su Dong smiled slightly.
“In fact, it’s not that serious.” Su Dong smiled lightly.
***I said that we must despise our opponents strategically and attach importance to them tactically.
Real Madrid is very strong, but Manchester City is definitely not bad, and it is still at home.
“I think Pep is right. We didn’t do well in the offense in the first half. A very important reason was that they received both inside and outside the penalty area, which resulted in a lot of defensive pressure on the center.”
Su Dong didn’t say it clearly, but everyone knew what the scene was like.
In the first half, there were often three or four defensive players around Su Dong. On the one hand, Real Madrid’s tactics were mainly defensive, but on the other hand, it can also be seen that Manchester City’s offensive players did not act in a timely and effective manner. Su Dong shared the defensive pressure.
“I think we should open up Real Madrid’s defense as much as possible in the second half, and leave the two central defenders of Real Madrid to me!”
When Su Dong said this, his expression was full of confidence, allowing everyone to feel his confidence in his own strength.
This is the strength of top superstars!
To have such a superstar is to be able to stabilize the military at a critical moment, so that the team has a backbone and a direction. Otherwise, if you change to Aguero or Dzeko, you will not be sure to get Ramos and Albi. Or, that Manchester City still have to wear slowly in the second half.
Guardiola agrees with Su Dong’s suggestion, and he is also full of confidence in Su Dong’s strength. He made a decision on the spot and made some fine-tuning in the player’s running and coordination to allow them to better cooperate with Su Dong.
…
…
The second half of the game restarted.
Manchester City took advantage of the kick-off, controlled the ball slowly, and slowly advanced towards Real Madrid’s halftime.
Real Madrid still adopts the tactics of the first half, trying to wait for the opportunity to stand still.
After the adjustment of the intermission, the home team players began to take the wing more actively, especially after the 30-meter area of Real Madrid in the penalty zone, they basically walked the wing first, and Sanchez and Di Maria started the offensive.
Su Dong is more cruising in the penalty area, suppressing Ramos and Albiol, ready to receive passes from the wing and outside the penalty area.
After the start of the second half, Manchester City launched a wave of offensives, constantly creating threats.
In the fifty-first minute, Marcelo quickly jumped in after catching a chance. After receiving the pass from David Silva, Marcelo made a forcible breakthrough after receiving the pass from David Silva. , Leaving Abeloa, the bottom cross to the front of the penalty area.
The Brazilian left back suddenly jumped in and disrupted Real Madrid’s deployment. Benzema did not follow the defense to the penalty area, causing Marcelo to be unguarded. This kick was also very accurate, and at the same time Real Madrid’s defensive players in the penalty zone were a little under-prepared. On the contrary, Su Dong had the fastest reaction. After Marcelo received the ball, he was already ready.
When Marcelo made the bottom pass, Su Dong had quickly thrown away Ramos and Albiol, and the whole person leaned forward and jumped to the top, rushing to the attacking Casillas, heading the horse. Selo’s cross went to the left of the goal.
This made Casillas completely unable to save, especially after he failed to block the ball in time, and then directly disarmed.
The ball got into the left side of Real Madrid’s goal.
Three to one!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!”
“Fifty-first minute, fifty-first minute, Su Dong performed a hat-trick!”
“Three to one! Manchester City has further expanded its lead!”
“This is a very exciting, and at the same time, a very sudden scoring match.”
“Marcelo’s sudden back-in was caught off guard by a Real Madrid defender. He almost didn’t make a decent advance attack in the first half, but this time he suddenly came back in and it was very deadly.”
“Obviously, Guardiola must have made arrangements and adjustments during the intermission, especially for the offensive from the wing. Marcelo’s forward penetration was very resolute, without any hesitation, he forced to use his speed after receiving the ball. Throwing away Aveloya, he sent a wonderful assist for Su Dong in the penalty area.”
“Su Dong’s diving to the top is also very beautiful, Casillas’ attack is a little slower.”
“Three to one, Real Madrid is now in a very embarrassing situation.”
“Although they scored an away goal, they are still at a disadvantage after returning to the home court with a score of one to three.”
“Now it’s up to Pellegrini to choose, whether he wants to fight for another away goal? Or hold the score firmly? You know, Manchester City is very morale now, if it continues to maintain the current status quo, Manchester City is very likely Going to score again.”
…
Facts have proved that Manchester City really have such plans.
Everyone knows that the best schedule for the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds is to go first and then host.
Because the first round is on the away game and the second round is at home, there are more opportunities to choose. Even if the horse misses the front in the first round, the second round will be able to reverse the situation.
All teams that play at home in the first round will find it very troublesome. On the one hand, they want to get enough advantage in the first round, and on the other hand, they are worried about sending their opponents away goals.
As a result, there is often an interesting situation in the UEFA Champions League knockout matches, where the visiting team is more active than the home team.
It has to be said that the away goal rule is another great invention in the history of the Champions League. It makes the Champions League knockout stage more thrilling and also greatly encourages scoring.
Manchester City’s mind is very simple now. After giving the opponent an away goal, I will desperately find a supplement on the goal.
Three to one?
No, UU read www.uukanshu.com this score to the Bernabéu Stadium is not safe, so we must continue to attack, do not give Real Madrid any chance to breathe, and strive to gain more lead in the first leg of the home game.
How much lead is stable?
God knows!
So keep on attacking, keep on attacking!
Real Madrid also made adjustments quickly. Pellegrini took the lead in the substitution, replacing Kaka with Shaheen, and playing in three midfields. This seems conservative, but in fact it is to increase the midfield. Take the ball and pass the ball to liberate the offense in the frontcourt.
Sure enough, after Pellegrini’s substitution, Real Madrid took the initiative to attack.
Regardless of whether it is from the staffing, or from the team’s tradition, Real Madrid has no reason to guard.
As a result, the game suddenly became better again.
