I Want to Be the King of Football - Chapter 989
After Manchester City scored a goal, both sides of the game seemed to be poured cold water on the head, so that the players on both sides basically calmed down, and the game gradually slowed down from the fierce confrontation at the beginning of the game.
If the two teams at the beginning seemed a bit impulsive, then both sides have gradually become rational.
Manchester City began to patiently control the ball, slowing down the pace of the game through the ball.
Real Madrid is patiently organizing the defense, not allowing Manchester City’s pass to penetrate easily into their own hinterland, threatening their own goal, and the investment in counterattack is not as large as the opening stage. After all, Real Madrid is also worried about being penetrated by Manchester City. Own line of defense, especially Su Dong.
It is in this attitude that both teams have tacitly chosen to be calm.
As a result, this also brought the game into a stalemate, and no one was able to break the opponent’s goal.
The first half ended temporarily two to one, and both sides returned to the locker room.
After the easy side war, Manchester City did not adjust their tactics, but continued to strengthen the pass and control, further exerting pressure on Real Madrid’s defense, while Real Madrid patiently consolidated their defense and waited for opportunities to organize counterattacks.
Time passed by, and neither of them could create an absolute opportunity.
Manchester City has not changed, and Real Madrid only replaced the mediocre Higuain with Callejon.
After the substitution, Benzema was pushed to the front line, and Callejon became the right winger.
Obviously, Pellegrini still did not give up the counterattack, but still wanted to get the goal.
Both sides attach great importance to each other’s ace players, whether Sudong or Cristiano Ronaldo, both received the key care of the other side and did not get a good opportunity.
But after entering sixty-five minutes, the physical fitness of Real Madrid players dropped significantly.
On the one hand, the pressure of their players has been significantly weakened, and on the other hand, Pellegrini began to withdraw the defense line, apparently to reduce the defense area and save the players’ running consumption.
Stronger than Real Madrid, the thickness of the current bench is actually far less than that of Manchester City.
At present, Manchester City still sits on the bench such as Hazard and Xavi Martinez, while Real Madrid’s bench can replace players on the court, almost none.
This is also the reason why Pellegrini did not continue to make substitutions.
The advantage of the passing system is that it can force the opponent to consume more running by grasping the advantage of the ball.
When Manchester City realized that Real Madrid’s physical fitness began to decline, Su Dong and the Manchester City players on the court quickly reached a tacit understanding.
Manchester City immediately began to strengthen the pressure on Real Madrid.
Especially when the game entered the 75th minute, Manchester City’s press was obviously stronger.
In the seventy-seventh minute, Ramos received Casillas’s hand toss the ball from the backcourt. As soon as he turned around, he saw Su Dong who had retreated suddenly accelerate and rushed toward him.
This surprised the Spanish central defender, but the reaction was quick and he passed it to Albiol.
Su Dong just ran in front of Ramos, changed direction directly, turned around and pounced on Albiol, and at the same time cut off the possibility of Albiol passing to Ramos by running the line.
At this moment, Albiol could only face to the left and passed to Coentron.
But at this time, Manchester City’s right winger Sanchez has also rushed forward and rushed directly at Coentron.
After the Portuguese left defender dunked Sanchez, he dribbled the ball in a horizontal cut, and then passed it back to Albiol, who was interfered by Sudong and made a long pass directly to the frontcourt.
Benzema pulled back and stopped the ball with his back, but under the interference of Pepe behind him, he couldn’t hold the ball. After stopping too much, he passed it to Kaka. Kaka took the ball from the center and inserted the ball diagonally into his left rib. Go to form contact with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Busquets ran to block the interception the first time, trying to block Kaka from the line of defense, and Tony Cross also retraced the defense for the first time, and the two were in horns to clamp Kaka.
After being blocked by Busquets, Kaka slowed down, but at this time Tony Cross caught up from the side and back, took the first step, grabbed the ball, and tripped Kaka at the same time.
The Brazilian fell to the front of Manchester City’s penalty area, but Busquets grabbed the ball for the first time.
The surrounding Real Madrid players raised their hands to protest for the first time, thinking that this was a foul.
“The referee did not whistle. It looks like it should be considered that Manchester City’s defense did not foul, and Tony Cross intercepted successfully.”
“Look at Manchester City’s counterattack this time, Busquets took the ball and pushed forward.”
Don’t look at Busquets’s delayed fourth position, but in fact his footwork is very good, he dribbles the ball very steadily, especially when there is no defensive player in front, he drove the ball directly across the center line, all the way Drive forward with the ball.
After cooperating with David Silva for a round-trip pass, Busquets has rushed to the front of Real Madrid’s 30-meter area and quickly passed the ball to Su Dong, who was in response to the retracement.
Su Dong stopped the ball with his back and saw Busquets in front of his side. When he was about to cross the ball, he turned and sprinted forward.
Busquets understood, instead of stopping the ball, he directly followed Su Dong’s cross and pushed the ball forward.
The ball passed obliquely behind Ramos and slid to the line where Su Dong was inserted. After Su Dong, he faced Albiol, who ran over to intercept, behind Ramos, who was chasing after him. As soon as he stopped the ball, his right foot passed the ball behind Albiol’s left side, and he suddenly accelerated and rushed from Albiol’s right side.
Poor Albiol, who just ran from the right side of the arc top zone to block Su Dong, ended up passing the ball back to the right side of the arc and fell into the big penalty area. He got rid of the two central defenders of Real Madrid in one breath.
“The beautiful ball is passed!”
“Su Dong completed a wonderful solo performance.”
After passing the ball to himself two seconds later, Su Dong caught up with his pass on the right side of Real Madrid’s penalty area, turned to face the goal, took the ball forward, and did not wait for the defensive player behind to catch up. Without waiting for Casillas to attack, he straightened his leg and shot.
As soon as Casillas hit the small penalty area, he saw Su Dong kick and landed the first time, but the ball was faster and flew directly beside him, almost wiping the right post, and shot into it. Real Madrid’s goal.
“Goallllllllllllllll!!!”
“In the seventy-seventh minute, the seventy-seventh minute, Su Dong went to the next city and scored twice to help Manchester City successfully equalize the score, two to two!”
“My God, Su Dong’s performance is very good this time. He scored with a wonderful man ball and broke through Real Madrid’s central defender. When he formed a single-handedly, he calmly seized the opportunity to make another move for Manchester City. city.”
“Two to two, the two sides returned to a tie again, and the total score also expanded to six to three.”
“This is a desperate score because Real Madrid now scored three more goals and couldn’t tie the score. Instead, it needed four goals to turn the situation around because Manchester City had two away goals.”
“This is what we were talking about. The biggest problem for Real Madrid right now is that it can’t block Manchester City, especially the attack from Su Dong. The goal just now is definitely a masterpiece of Su Dong’s personal ability.”
“Real Madrid players are protesting against the referee, thinking that Tony Cross fouled Kaka earlier and Su Dong’s goal should be invalidated, but the referee obviously disagrees with this statement.”
“Let’s take a look at the slow-motion replay again, this time Manchester City’s defense was played by Tony Cross.”
“Very clean and neat!”
“Tony Cross touched the ball first and then the people. It was a wonderful defense.”
“There is no problem with the referee’s enforcement this time.”
Manchester City’s players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate frantically, and even many people on the visiting team’s coaching bench and the bench rushed over to hug Su Dong and his teammates on the sidelines.
Everyone knows very well that with the birth of Su Dong’s goal, the game has completely ended.
Real Madrid must score four goals next to reverse, otherwise, even if Real Madrid score three more goals, it will not help, because Manchester City has one more away goal than Real Madrid.
Therefore, Su Dong’s goal basically sentenced Real Madrid to death.
…
…
Facts also confirm this.
Pellegrini then continued to strengthen the offensive, but replaced with players such as Granero and failed to perform well.
The morale of Real Madrid’s players has been hit hard, and everyone even seemed a little disappointed.
This is also normal, because the trend is over.
Even at the start of the physical strength, they can’t even score four goals for Manchester City and ensure that they don’t lose the ball, not to mention that their physical fitness has been almost exhausted. At this time, what do they take to kill Manchester City?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s desire to win is the strongest, and he even seemed a little impatient. Two consecutive long-range shots from the outside of the penalty area failed to threaten Manchester City’s goal.
That’s how he is, once he gets anxious, his whole person becomes rash.
Real Madrid’s morale fell sharply, while Manchester City continued to play steadily. While controlling the ball, they were also patiently draining their opponents.
After the game entered 80 minutes, Manchester City also created several good opportunities, but Ramos and Casillas both performed well and did not allow Manchester City to score again.
But at this time, Real Madrid is no longer able to prevent the team from losing.
In the last few minutes, both sides played a bit tired and lazy, and no one organized an effective offensive.
When the referee’s whistle sounded, the score was finally fixed at two to two.
Manchester City successfully eliminated Real Madrid from the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a total score of 6 to 3 in the two rounds and successfully advanced to the Champions League semi-finals.
This is undoubtedly the pinnacle moment in Manchester City’s history.
This Premier League team that participated in the Champions League for the first time in history not only emerged from the dead group in the group stage, but also eliminated the two major Champions League champions AC Milan and Real Madrid in the knockout round and successfully reached the semi-finals.
Real results make everyone have to admit the strength of Manchester City.
And Real Madrid missed the powerful offensive more than 20 minutes before the opening, and failed to grasp the opportunity to expand the results, and finally failed to create a miracle of reversal at home.
