Chapter 180 Bai Ran Explains What Counterattack Means!

After the coin toss, Marcelo, the captain of the game, asked to kick off first, and Wolfsburg chose to attack from right to left.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began!

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid took the lead in launching an offensive. Modric handed the ball to Bai Ran. Bai Ran dribbled the ball for two steps and found the right time to pass the ball to Benzema.

The latter made a straight pass in the left rib of the penalty area. Ronaldo made a high-speed forward run and immediately left the opponent's players behind. Then he came to the edge of the penalty area and pushed forward with his left foot!

But unfortunately, the attack reached this point, and the linesman raised the flag in his hand, offside first!

Ronaldo's running position was a little anxious, otherwise this would definitely be a great chance to score!

Bai Ran had already moved to the edge of the penalty area. There was basically no player guarding this position. As long as Ronaldo passed the ball, this was a high probability of scoring a goal.

Ronaldo raised his hand and apologized to Bai Ran. He did not handle the ball well and was anxious.

Bai Ran also nodded to indicate that it was okay, keep going!

Later, Real Madrid's offensive was still fierce. In the 4th minute of the game, Modric intercepted the ball in the backcourt and made a shocking 50-meter long pass--

Bale received the ball in the air and headed it to the right. The opponent's defender Gustavo intercepted the ball, but he didn't expect to stop the ball with his chest and stopped it on the right side of his own penalty area. Bale took the ball and tried to break through, but was knocked down by Gustavo. He stood up to get a free kick, but the referee didn't say anything.

In short, in these few short minutes, Real Madrid's offensive wave was very brave.

The audience on the sidelines also watched passionately. Who can not love such a Champions League competition!

Wolfsburg was not to be outdone. They were a hard bone to chew, not a soft persimmon!

After Real Madrid's attack was fruitless, Wolfsburg's winger Draxler took the ball to counterattack.

Facing Danilo's defense, Draxler was very calm. While dribbling the ball slowly, Danilo slowed down his attention. At this moment, Draxler dribbled the ball forward quickly and easily broke through the sideline defense guarded by Danilo!

This player is very capable and is a very outstanding player with fast speed, good skills, and strong body. He can constantly create goal threats on the court. It can be said that he is a combination of outstanding players.

The German from Schalke 04 transferred to Wolfsburg and shined in this Champions League. He is an opponent that Real Madrid must guard against!

Draxler kicked a cross from the side - Schurrle headed the ball in the middle!

Arbeloa is not good at handling high balls. Schurrle got the first point for this ball, and the ball hit the gate guarded by Navas - the ball went in!

In the 18th minute of the game, Wolfsburg scored the first goal at home. With Draxler's assist, Schurrle broke through the city of Real Madrid!

So far, they have only had two shots and scored a goal, which is very efficient!

After scoring the goal, Schurrle came to the sidelines to celebrate excitedly, while the Real Madrid players were at a loss, with annoyance written all over their faces.

Bai Ran clapped his hands to encourage everyone to play the game with spirit and focus on the opponent's key players.

After all, the game has just been less than 20 minutes, and they still have plenty of opportunities and time to win the game.

The most important thing is to see their ability to seize opportunities in the frontcourt.

In fact, there are two heavyweight players, Bai Ran and Modric, in the midfield. They are not short of opportunities in the frontcourt, the main thing is whether they can seize them.

The players of both sides lined up, and the game continued.

This time, Real Madrid kicked off and sought more cooperation in the middle, and no longer made a fuss from the side.

But unfortunately, in a subtle through pass by Bai Ran, Benzema made a mistake in stopping the ball and stopped the ball to the opponent's defensive player, and the ball was easily cleared.

After clearing the siege, Wolfsburg increased its speed again and launched a counterattack!

This is their signature tactic, defensive counterattack. Facing opponents who are stronger than themselves, such tactics often work.

It was Draxler who dribbled the ball from the side again, and after passing the defender, he rushed into the penalty area. Arbeloa had made the mistake just now, and the pressure on his heart was even heavier.

The opponent's attack just now was almost completely blamed on Arbeloa's failure to mark the man, allowing the opponent to jump up and compete for the header easily, which was too comfortable.

In this case, Arbeloa couldn't help but remind himself at all times that he must defend the opponent!

So, under the influence of this extreme mentality, Arbeloa faced Draxler's advance and fell to the ground in the penalty area to make a tackle!

This time, Draxler was tackled!

This kick was basically on the edge of the penalty area. It was hard to say whether it was a free kick or a penalty!

Everyone was arguing in front of the referee. Some said it was in the penalty area, and the Real Madrid players naturally said that the foul was outside the penalty area. Some even said that Arbeloa did not foul at all in this ball, and it was the opponent's fake fall!

Finally, the referee requested a VAR replay when he was unsure. In slow motion, the referee made up his mind.

He ran into the field from the small screen on the sidelines, then drew a huge square with his hand and pointed to the penalty spot!

VAR has finished watching and the penalty is - Wolfsburg penalty!

Ah! ?

Everyone in Real Madrid couldn't accept it. It had only been a short time, and they were going to be 0-2 ahead!

This couldn't go on like this!

However, the situation had to be solved from the current crisis. The referee awarded a penalty kick, and everyone in Real Madrid gathered outside the penalty area, ready to clear the siege at any time.

Even if there was a glimmer of hope, they didn't want to let it go.

This penalty kick was taken by the team's first penalty shooter, forward Enrique.

Enrique kissed the ball, put the ball on the penalty spot, took two steps back, and looked at the goal firmly.

And Navas took a deep breath. This was the fourth penalty kick he faced in two games.

The psychological pressure was still great...

This was a huge test for the goalkeeper!

At this time, not only everyone in Real Madrid gathered outside the penalty area, but also the players of Wolfsburg gathered here.

They had to wait for a chance to make up the ball if the ball didn't go in.

However, Bai Ran had a different idea at this time.

His position was not near the penalty area like everyone else, but came to the front position.

Moreover, Bai Ran also signaled Ronaldo to move forward, and to be quiet.

You know, this is in Real Madrid's half!

Bai Ran's awareness is not wrong. Such an opportunity must be seized. What if it constitutes a goal?

At this time, the referee blew the whistle, and Enrique began to run up-

Shoot!

Enrique chose to shoot the ball in the upper right corner of the goal!

Navas judged the direction correctly, and his body flew into the air, making a wonderful save at an exaggerated height in the air!

The ball did not break through Navas's ten fingers, but was rejected by him!

Too strong! Navas actually saved this penalty!

The ball was saved from Navas's hands and came to Pepe's feet.

"Pepe!"

Bai Ran waved in front, Pepe saw Bai Ran's position, and then made a straight pass with full force and extremely fast speed. The Wolfsburg players on the road had no time to react, let alone intercept it in the middle!

At this time, there was only one goalkeeper from the other side in the space outside the half court!

Bai Ran's position was so good, no wonder he had played as a free man before. Bai Ran already had his own unique understanding of the offensive front court position.

His ability to read the game was already perfect.

The position he appeared in was just right for Pepe to pass the ball accurately, and he could get rid of the opponent's defense and continue to launch a new round of offense for the team.

What a good opportunity!

After receiving Pepe's pass, Bai Ran turned around quickly. As expected, Ronaldo listened to Bai Ran's words and ran directly to the front, which was out of reach!

At this moment, Bai Ran kicked the ball!

This pass was very accurate. Bai Ran's body and the ground formed a 45-degree oblique angle. Bai Ran, who was fully stretched out, passed the ball with an extremely accurate angle and force!

Ronaldo had been waiting in front for a long time!

This ball could not be offside, because the ball did not cross the half court in Real Madrid's half court, so there was no suspicion of offside.

Ronaldo turned around to observe the first landing point of the ball, then raised his leg high to stop the ball. Although it was not stopped perfectly, it was enough!

The front was flat, and there was no one behind!

The central defender who came to defend was still dozens of meters away from him, and the goalkeeper in front was also far behind!

Ronaldo continued to dribble the ball, and the goalkeeper could only choose to attack. This ball could not sit and wait for death on the goal line!

The goalkeeper attacked near the penalty area, his body fully spread out, his legs together to prevent himself from passing through the crotch, and approached Ronaldo little by little.

The latter faced the opponent's goalkeeper, and without saying a word, he accelerated horizontally, using his speed advantage to easily pass the opponent's goalkeeper.

Then, the Portuguese pushed the empty goal successfully.

The ball went in!

The situation on the field changed again, Real Madrid pulled back a city, and the score came to a 1-1 tie!

This goal was thanks to Bai Ran's instigation of the attack!

When Real Madrid was preparing to defend the penalty, it was Bai Ran who thought of this trick and directed Ronaldo to complete his running position, and this long pass was also very essential!

Just right!

So far, Bai Ran has once again won an assist record in the Champions League.

The two sides on the field were also pulled back to the same starting line.

After Ronaldo scored, he ran to the sidelines, and Bai Ran ran over, and the stands were full of cheers!

In these few minutes, the noise of the audience never stopped.

The first was dedicated to Navas's divine save, the second was dedicated to Bai Ran's top awareness, and the last was dedicated to Ronaldo's clean finish.

This game is worth watching!

Then the game on the field continued, with Wolfsburg taking the lead in serving in the center circle.

The game was in full swing until the 25th minute, when Wolfsburg scored another goal!

Draxler transferred from the left, Enrique made a low pass from the right side of the penalty area, and Arnold pushed into the near corner with his left foot 4 meters away from the goal.

This is a beautiful teamwork, and they are in great shape today.

In football matches, the strength on paper is only part of the equation, and it is also largely affected by the chemistry between the players and their condition on the day of the match.

It is obvious that Wolfsburg is in a very hot state today!

Real Madrid is in a passive situation, and someone needs to stand up at this time.

Needless to say, the one who can stand up for Real Madrid to reverse the situation was previously done by Ronaldo, and now, this heavy responsibility has fallen on Bai Ran!

Bai Ran certainly understands the mission he shoulders. He shook his head left and right on the court and looked firmly at the opponent's half.

It seems that this game must be played with some hard power, otherwise it is easy to overturn!

At this time, Real Madrid happened to intercept the ball, and the ball was cleared from Real Madrid's backcourt and flew towards Bai Ran.

Bai Ran met the ball, he didn't want to wait for the ball to bounce up after landing to grab the second point, he wanted to fight for this point of the ball!

However, the opponent's midfielder didn't think so. He originally planned to retreat a few steps back and wait for the header.

But who would have thought that Bai Ran would take a few steps forward without hesitation!

Swish——

The ball landed, and Bai Ran caught the ball steadily with a bang!

This is called a very high clearance, and it is extremely difficult to stop the ball. Bai Ran's stop was so beautiful, fully demonstrating his exquisite skills.

The opponent's midfielder saw this scene and rushed forward to press, and this anxious mentality was also used by Bai Ran, who directly kicked the ball and easily got rid of it.

Then Bai Ran moved forward with the ball, and he was able to see the running position of his teammates at the first time.

But running alone was useless, the opponent's defense line was still very stable, and there was no gap.

After all, they had a defender of Dante's level behind them, commanding the control of the defense line, which was very difficult to break through.

Bai Ran saw that there was no good opportunity, so he chose to dribble the ball himself!

At this moment, the audience on the sidelines began to boo Bai Ran. As a fan of Wolfsburg, they must destroy the opponent's ambition and increase their own prestige.

What's more, Wolfsburg's state today is still very good, and there is a good chance to win the game. At this time, the fans must of course suppress the opponent's momentum!

"Woo-"

Their fans were very unfriendly to Bai Ran, and some even raised the international hand sign to him.

When Bai Ran was dribbling the ball, he was often disturbed by the fans on the sidelines.

The fans of Wolfsburg were still very arrogant. After all, the first goal just now belonged to them, which left an impression in their hearts.

Real Madrid is not as strong as people say outside!

They had heard before that Real Madrid now has a kid named Bai Ran, who plays very well and even has the tendency to become the world's number one in the future. He was also awarded the European Golden Boy in 2015.

Today, it's just so-so!

And even if he is very strong, he needs the fans to "take care of him" even more!

All kinds of ridicule, abuse, and even flash lights shining in his eyes, this kind of interference is already commonplace in away games.

Bai Ran has been playing here for less than a year, and these methods are nothing new.

He continued to move forward with the ball, and the fans on the sidelines booed continuously, and many fans whistled with their hands, the sound was very sharp and harsh!

But Bai Ran still did not stop, he held his breath and concentrated, only focusing on handling every move under his feet!

Facing the opponent's defender Dante's defense, Bai Ran tried to speed up and break through, but the opponent was still following Bai Ran's footsteps and would not be easily shaken.

Bai Ran tried to change direction to the other side again, but Dante quickly moved his center of gravity, and it didn't work!

As expected of a defender from the giant Bayern, he has too much game experience! This defensive skill must have been gained after thousands of trials!

However, facing such a dilemma, Bai Ran did not show a shrinking look.

A hint of pride appeared on Dante's dark face!

It's so amazing, but I know it's just like that after the fight!

Bai Ran's mind was spinning rapidly, and when he saw Ronaldo inserted on the left, an idea came to his mind.

He stopped the ball, faced Dante's sticky defense, and pushed the ball to Ronaldo with the arch of his foot.

Pass the ball! ? Haha!

Dante couldn't help but feel happy!

As expected of a child, how could he pass this ball!

There were obviously Wolfsburg players on Ronaldo's side, and with such a small angle, he could intercept the ball without the defenders blocking him!

Passing this ball was equivalent to losing the ball!

So Dante was very confident to block Bai Ran's passing path.

At the moment he kicked, Bai Ran's ball, which had been pushed out by his instep, was suddenly stepped on by him!

The moment the ball started to roll towards Ronaldo, Bai Ran stepped on it steadily!

Then, Bai Ran pulled the ball back to his own dribbling trajectory!

Dante's pupils shook, damn!

It's broken, I was shaken by this kid!

The moment the center of gravity shifted, there was no turning back, and there was no going back!

Dante was very upset, why didn't he think this was a trap!

This was a trap designed by Bai Ran for him!

Aren't you experienced? Then use your experience, you must have your own defensive strategy in your mind.

Once this kind of thinking is deeply rooted, it is difficult to change.

So Bai Ran chose to deceive him, no problem!

Such an action also attracted cheers from Real Madrid fans, and his teammates were also stunned by Bai Ran's action.

So beautiful! What a great opportunity!

At this moment, Bai Ran drove in, and Dante behind him was far behind!

He broke into the penalty area, and the goalkeeper stood firm in his position, directing the defenders' position and defense.

The defenders hurried up to defend against this young Chinese man.

And Bai Ran didn't say a word, and when the goalkeeper was pointing at Jiangshan, he kicked and shot!

A long shot from the edge of the penalty area! Will it work!

The goalkeeper just said a word to the defender, distracting his attention a little, and Bai Ran seized this opportunity to shoot!
