Chapter 514 Smash Real Madrid’s Offensive Tactics!
After the ball crossed the wall, it fell rapidly like it was in an elevator, with a very weird arc.
Navas was very focused. After judging the impact point, he kicked the ground hard and flew to save.
He has done the best he can, but the angle of Cristiano Ronaldo's free kick is really tricky.
The falling ball almost touched the inside of the crossbar, rubbed the inside net and hit the Manchester City goal!
With a bang, the San Siro Stadium suddenly exploded as if several bombs had been dropped.
The fans of Real Madrid and Ronaldo were shouting at the top of their lungs like crazy, and the whole stadium was as lively as a vegetable market!
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was brilliant and could be called the most exciting goal in this final so far.
What's more, this was his critical savior after Real Madrid fell behind, giving this goal more meaning.
Cristiano Ronaldo was so excited that he rushed to the court like crazy, jumped up high in a signature celebration, clenched his fists, and roared to the sky!
In this game, he withstood huge pressure and truly managed to be on par with Lin Quan, even better than Lin Quan!
Twice he stepped forward after the team fell behind and scored key goals.
Both times, he relied on his outstanding personal strength to score goals without receiving strong support from his teammates.
For Real Madrid fans, this kind of Ronaldo is already flawless, with nothing to fault or criticize!
This can be seen from the reactions of other Real Madrid players and head coaches after Ronaldo scored!
After Ronaldo scored, Real Madrid almost came out in force. The goalkeepers far away in their own half, and even the substitutes sitting on the bench, all rushed to the court to participate in the celebration of the goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the hero of the goal, is respected and loved by everyone. Almost everyone comes up to pat him on the shoulder or give him a warm hug.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ronaldo saved Real Madrid!
Without his two critical saviors, Real Madrid would have fallen behind 0:2 at this time!
"Cristiano Ronaldo is too strong!"
"He is worthy of being called a pair of peerless men!"
"The free kick just now made me wet. It combines strength, speed and even skill. How could there be such a perfect free kick? It's incredible!"
"He scored two goals with his head and kick, which effectively rebutted the outside world's doubts about him. Now, I wonder who else dares to expel Ronaldo from the ranks of super giants!"
"Haha, all four goals on the field were scored by the two super giants. This makes me more and more interested in this game. Between Lin Huang and Cristiano Ronaldo, who will win?"
Ronaldo's outstanding performance not only dispelled the doubts about him from the outside world, but also won him the recognition of many neutral fans.
Lin Quan and Messi are both talented players, and the talent that is almost overflowing is visible to the naked eye.
Ronaldo is far less talented than these two, which makes many people think that he is not that strong and do not recognize his super giant status.
In the eyes of many people, Ronaldo is just an ordinary star who has better physical fitness, scores more goals, has outstanding header ability, and can take a few free kicks.
Without the blessing of outstanding talent, it means that he can easily be replaced by other players.
However, in this game, after seeing his outstanding performance of not falling behind in the competition with top players like Lin Quan and scoring consecutive key goals, those who doubted him also changed their views.
Although Ronaldo's talent may not be as good as these two, he is by no means someone who ordinary people can catch up with just a little practice.
Lin Quan has never looked down upon Ronaldo, on the contrary, he admired him.
Cristiano Ronaldo has developed and utilized his talents to the extreme, and the price he has to pay for this is unimaginable.
Many people say that Ronaldo is the upper limit that ordinary stars can achieve, but the question is why can Ronaldo do it but others can't?
This is enough to explain the problem!
So, after seeing Ronaldo score such a wonderful goal, Lin Quan not only did not feel frustrated or jealous, but felt excited and looking forward to it, and even applauded Ronaldo!
This kind of evenly matched game is interesting. If Manchester City really overturned Real Madrid and won without any trouble, it would be too boring.
The final should feel like a final!
The cameras at the scene quickly spotted Lin Quan applauding Ronaldo.
As the top players of their respective teams, the two are one of the core highlights of this game. From the beginning, their every move has attracted the attention of countless pairs of eyes.
Countless cameras on the sidelines kept switching back and forth between the two men in order to highlight this contrast and increase the excitement of the game.
However, Lin Quan's unconventional behavior confused the photographer and the audience in front of the TV.
what's the situation?
Isn't it the promised grudge game?
Why did Lin Quan applaud the opponent when Ronaldo scored a goal?
What kind of grudge match is this?
"Emperor Lin, is he surrendering to the enemy?"
"What the hell, I was simply conquered by my Luo's skills and strength!"
"Haha, Luo fans really dare to think that it doesn't matter that the Renlin Emperor has a big structure, you bunch of clowns really dare to climb up the pole!"
"Yes, to be able to affirm the opponent's performance and even applaud the opponent on such an occasion, Lin Huang's style and magnanimity are much greater than those fans who only attack each other in private!"
"Hey, why do I feel that Emperor Lin is smiling? Look at the corner of his mouth, that unstoppable smile..."
The fans all found it a bit strange, how could you still laugh when your opponents had equalized the score.
However, after the game restarted, they quickly discovered that Lin Quan seemed to be a different person.
He reached out for the ball more frequently, and his aggressiveness was greatly enhanced, which is reflected in his number of dribbles and success rate.
This change made Real Madrid's defenders very uncomfortable.
Their left back Carvajal quickly received a yellow card for a foul while defending Lin Quan.
There was no way, he couldn't prevent it at all. If he didn't foul, he was worried that the opponent would get past him and score another goal.
However, as Lin Quan's defender, he received a yellow card, which can be said to be very passive and disadvantageous for Real Madrid's defense.
Carvajal, who was worried about getting another yellow card, became a little afraid to make moves in the following time.
He was never Lin Quan's opponent. He tried his best and even used foul tactics to barely resist Lin Quan's attack.
But now, he didn't dare to commit a foul, or even make any big moves. How could he possibly guard Lin Quan when he was so constrained!
As a result, Real Madrid's left side suddenly became turbulent and in danger.
"Emperor Lin is so extraordinary, I love him so much!"
"It's so terrifying. It's like a passing machine. Carvajal was almost beaten to tears!"
"So is this Lin Huang's true strength? Could it be that he didn't use his full strength in the previous games?"
When the fans saw Lin Quan, who was completely different from the other two, they couldn't help but started a heated discussion.
On the court, Ronaldo couldn't help but sigh when he saw Lin Quan making trouble on his left wing and his teammates who were being abused and doubting their life.
This guy's ability to fight alone is too strong!
As a winger, even when he was Phnom Penh Luo, he did not have such strong individual combat capabilities on the wing.
In Lin Quan, he saw the shadow of peak Messi.
In the years when Messi was in 1991, Messi was such an unreasonable presence on the court.
And now Lin Quan seems to be even more unreasonable than Messi back then!
"Help defend, don't fight him one-on-one!"
On the sidelines, Zidane gave instructions to the Real Madrid players on the court with a serious expression.
After finally equalizing the score, we must not let the opponent take the lead again so easily.
Now Real Madrid's left wing is very passive. Modric and even Bale are attracted by Lin Quan and forced to participate in defense.
But Real Madrid's right wing still retains the ability to counterattack. As long as it can successfully counterattack, it is possible to reverse the game!
Moreover, although Lin Quan's individual combat ability is very strong, football is a team sport after all. No matter how strong he is alone, he cannot challenge the entire Real Madrid team.
Zidane even felt that Manchester City's offensive tactics might be completely destroyed by Lin Quan's insistence on fighting alone.
Therefore, although the situation on the field looks very passive for Real Madrid, it is not as dangerous as it seems.
On the other side, Guardiola's expression was also very solemn.
If it were someone else fighting alone like this, Guardiola would definitely have gone crazy.
Lin Quan's tactics were not in his design, but as the frontcourt free man and the core of the offense, Lin Quan has the right to choose any offensive method.
And he firmly believed that Lin Quan would not do such hot-headed things. He must have his reasons for doing so!
Lin Quan did have a reason to do this. He kept attacking from the wing, staring at Carvajal alone, with the purpose of knocking Carvajal down!
Among Real Madrid's two full-backs, Marcelo is typically stronger in offense than defense. Some people joke that three Marcelos cannot guard one Marcelo.
But Real Madrid's other full-back Carvajal is not like this.
Carvajal has a balanced offense and defense, and is full of physical fitness. Not only does he have excellent passing ability and outstanding assist ability, but he also has a very stable defensive style and rarely makes mistakes.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the three years from 2016 to 2019, Carvajal was a strong contender for the world's number one position!
If Zidane can be forced to replace him, Real Madrid's strength can be greatly weakened.
Lin Quan is already very close to this goal.
In the 62nd minute of the second half, when Carvajal was ruthlessly played by Lin Quan again, Zidane finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Carvajal's physical exertion was too great, and he had a yellow card on his back, which made him afraid to make moves, thus becoming a huge hole in Real Madrid's defense.
If this loophole is not plugged as soon as possible, serious consequences may occur.
So he asked Real Madrid's backup left-back Danilo to come on and replace Carvajal.
Carvajal breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the substitution card raised on the sidelines.
This damn nightmare is finally over.
If possible, he never wants to face Lin Quan on the court again.
"Cavajal is so miserable. He has been passed by Emperor Lin more than a dozen times!"
"Yeah, I'm almost numb!"
"Looking at the way he is panting, I suspect that if I keep kicking him, he will be exhausted to death!"
"Lin's start is very fast, and the rhythm changes very suddenly. Keeping up with his rhythm requires extremely high physical fitness. It is not easy for Carvajal to persist until now!"
Zidane stood on the sidelines, hugged Carvajal when he left the field, and comforted him:
"Thank you for your hard work. Go take a good rest on the bench and follow everyone to witness our victory!"
Zidane's tone was very firm, convinced that they would win this game in the end.
"Um!"
Carvajal nodded heavily. Although he still had the slightest doubt about Zidane's words, he would definitely not say it in front of the head coach at this time without opening his eyes.
Danilo's strength is not as good as Carvajal, but he was born in 1991 because he is young and strong, and he has just played, so he has sufficient physical fitness.
So with the help of teammates, the danger on Real Madrid's left began to gradually disappear.
Manchester City relied on Lin Quan's personal combat tactics and was finally contained!
However, is this really the case?
After Danilo came on, Manchester City quickly changed their tactics.
Their two wingers crossed and switched positions, and Lin Quan came to the left and began to confront Marcelo, another full-back of Real Madrid.
Marcelo, who had witnessed the misery of his companions throughout the whole process, became numb when he saw Lin Quan coming in front of him.
His defensive ability is already average, but when faced with a player like Lin Quan who is extremely capable in individual combat, he is even more unable to withstand it.
So Marcelo didn't dare to go up to assist at all, and focused all his attention on defense. He even felt that he was not enough on his own, so he tried his best to get Casemiro, Ramos and even Cristiano Ronaldo in the frontcourt to come back to help him assist. Defend.
However, the consequence of this is that Real Madrid's right-side attack is completely paralyzed.
After losing Marcelo's assist, it was difficult for Ronaldo to get support from his teammates from behind.
And Manchester City's sweep of the center is very strong, and it is difficult for Modric, Isco and others to send him good passes.
This resulted in Cristiano Ronaldo, the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's goals, losing his support in the frontcourt alone.
Seeing that he could not find any opportunities in the frontcourt, Ronaldo had to retreat and devote his energy to defense.
However, this was completely exploiting his shortcomings and avoiding his strengths. Not only did it have a very limited effect, it also consumed a lot of his physical energy.
On the other hand, after losing the threat of Ronaldo in the frontcourt, Real Madrid's threat to Manchester City's defense was greatly reduced, and Manchester City's defense naturally began to gradually press forward.
Facing a team like Real Madrid that is good at quick counterattacks, it is not a very wise choice to press heavily.
But that is under the premise that the opponent has the ability to organize an effective counterattack. Now that Real Madrid has lost the support of its full-backs, it has been difficult to launch such a counterattack.
That's why Manchester City dared to press hard at this time!
When more and more Manchester City players appeared in Real Madrid's half, Lin Quan quickly changed his tactics. He no longer played alone, but worked with his teammates to pass and control.
This kind of pressing passing football gave Real Madrid players a sense of déjà vu when they encountered Barcelona.
The football was clearly being passed in front of them, but they had no chance to touch it. They could only tense up, fearing that the opponent would suddenly launch a fatal blow!
The situation on the field gradually turned into Manchester City surrounding Real Madrid and conducting a unilateral half-time offensive and defensive drill.
