Chapter 032: Opponent Real Madrid (Third Update)

After knocking out Barcelona, Manchester City were like chickens, and they were invincible in the league.

In the words of the English media, Manchester City's entire squad has been baptized after passing the hurdle of defending champions Barcelona, and they are now desperate for the Champions League title. It's about working in the league to make sure the league doesn't drop points and can focus more on the semi-finals.

Their opponents in the semi-finals are Real Madrid.

After the duel between Yang Fan and Messi, the duel between Yang Fan and Cristiano Ronaldo is here again, and the fans are really excited.

This match between Manchester City and Real Madrid is highly anticipated.

As soon as the game began, Manchester City launched an attack on Real Madrid's goal.

It was up front, with Nasri's pass at the feet of Sergio Aguero.

Sergio Aguero used his skills past Real Madrid defender Marcos Alonso, who was defending him on the wing.

Yang Fan raised his hand to ask for the ball!

Aguero flicked his right foot and sent the football to Yang Fan's feet.

Yang Fan just got the ball. Real Madrid's central defender Pepe posted it, and at the same time, intimidated by Yang Fan's terrifying performance in recent games, Real Madrid's right-back Ramos also immediately pressed Yang Fan. The two of them want to close the door one by one and kill Yang Fan!

Yang Fan is not stupid, of course he will not let the two of them complete the encirclement on him, so as soon as he received the ball, he exerted his strength on the side of his waist and abdomen, squeezed away Pepe behind him, and then Yang Fan quickly turned around and was about to rush over with the ball!

Ramos didn't expect Yang Fan to catch the ball and turn so coherent and fast, he was shocked, a horizontal heart, directly leaned back, he flew a tackle! The purpose is to shovel the ball away from Yang Fan's feet, of course, if he shovels Yang Fan's feet, Ramos will think that this is purely an accident!

As the vice president of Real Madrid, Ramos has always been known for being fiercer on the pitch, and he did not mean to give Yang Fan a dismount.

He almost got to tackle the football, but when his toes almost touched the football, the ball suddenly disappeared, and then Ramos, who was gliding against the turf, dodged the ball in horror and the kid he had broken had picked up his right foot!!

He's going to shoot the goal!

"Yang Fan - he was surrounded by two people - oh oh oh!! he- he got rid of - turned around and volleyed ——!!"

Yang Fan pulls the ball and turns around to avoid Ramos's flying tackle!

The whole action is done in one go!

He picked up his right foot, his arm spread, swung his calf violently, and pumped it to the middle of the ball, he let out a low roar, and all the power of the whole person was on the leg, and the calf swung, and all the power was transmitted to the right foot...... The right foot is in contact with the ball...... In the end, this huge power is completely infused into football!

Soccer Soars!!

Tremendous power into kinetic energy!

The power and speed that can tear through all obstacles!

Real Madrid's goalkeeper Casillas Fan turned around and made a save in advance, he is now very alert to Yang Fan, and he has an intuition that this kid will definitely shoot!

Sure enough, Yang Fan shot the goal!

It's a long-range shot!

A powerful long-range shot!

Yang Fan, who shot at Casillas, fell backwards and fell to the ground, the football was already whistling! The round ball, which was originally a little bit in the eye, gradually became bigger, bigger and bigger, and became very big, and it rushed straight in front of him!

He could feel the ball whistling with the wind!

Kudos to Iker Casillas, one of the greatest active goalkeepers on the planet, made a world-class save.

His gloves barely touched the soccer ball with its edge, which changed direction slightly, rising slightly.

"Boom!"

The ball hit the post and went out of the baseline.

Manchester City fans were so shocked that they didn't dare to speak just now, the ball hit the crossbar and went out of the bottom line, one by one regretful jumps, it's a pity, if you score at the beginning, it would be wonderful, it's a pity......

Yang Fan signaled to referee Kupels that the football was touched by Casillas, and then hit the crossbar out of the bottom line, which should be a corner kick.

However, the referee, perhaps because of the angle, did not think Casillas had touched the football, so signaled that it was a goal kick.

In the face of this penalty, Yang Fan could only shrug his shoulders helplessly to accept it, the game had just begun, and he didn't need to chatter with the referee because of this penalty, which would only make the referee dissatisfied.

Although the shot did not go through, Manchester City's opening attack was a wake-up call for Real Madrid - this game, Manchester City is bound to win, even if the opponent is Real Madrid, Manchester City will have to fight hard.

Casillas was also shocked into a cold sweat, just now he thought he was going to lose the ball, but fortunately, after he barely touched the football, the crossbar blocked the football.

***********

On the sidelines, Manchester City coach Mancini was also a little annoyed, it was a pity that the goal was not scored just now.

Although Mancini asked Manchester City to put pressure on Real Madrid in attack in this game, Mancini's tactics also required that once Real Madrid attacked, Zabaleta and Kolarov had to return to the fullback position in time, because Mancini knew the ability of these stars of Real Madrid, especially the offensive ability, Modric, Ozil, Cristiano, Ronaldo Di Maria, and even Benzema, these stars are all good and have the ability to change the score in an instant, which requires Manchester City's players to work harder, to attack when attacking, and to return to defense in a timely manner, especially the two full-backs, Kolarov and Zabaleta, will have to work a little harder.

Real Madrid then attacked. Their attack is quite fluid, and these stars of Real Madrid are not decorations.

In Spain, a reporter once said that in this Real Madrid team, the most indispensable may not be Cristiano Ronaldo, but Alonso!

The Spain international is Real Madrid's midfield brain and is Real Madrid's midfield metronome.

Cristiano Ronaldo or Mesut Ozil may not be convinced, but it is not unreasonable.

Speaking of Alonso, let's talk about his style of play, his own kicking action is very chic, the swing of his arms before passing the ball, and the large swing of his legs are very beautiful.

Because he has been standing in the center circle for a long time and even receiving the pass from his defender teammates in the backfield, he can often face defenders, observe the situation on the field, and think for a long time, so when Alonso is still playing in Liverpool, he can often pass the ball to Alonso who runs back from near the middle circle as soon as the central defender takes the ball in the game, about 1 second and 2 seconds, Alonso will quickly look for 2 wings and the forward middle to insert or come back to receive the ball, at this time Alonso from 20 meters to cover about 60 meters in the opponent's penalty area is the range of his accurate long pass。 If Ronaldo and Di Maria or Modric all go to the side, if the two strikers retreat to respond, then at this time 80 teammates can receive the ball, this can be said to be quite frightening, in the Liverpool period for so many years, especially after Mascherano came, after Gerrard played a shadow striker, Alonso's strong ability to manipulate the midfield can be perfectly reflected, especially when the Reds' 2 wings get rid of the ball, it can show Alonso's far-reaching influence on the Reds' tactical play, and Alonso basically does not need a partner to control the midfield, what you need is to give him a bodyguard in defense, allowing him to devote more energy to organizing the team's attack.

Of course, Alonso has shortcomings, the ability to protect the ball is average, the ball will be a little slower, he is not like Xavi can infinitely receive the ball near the center circle or even the opponent's 30 meters 40 meters area to protect the ball, Alonso needs the team to be able to attack and defend quickly, so that the team will speed up the team's offensive and defensive rhythm with the help of his medium and long passes, and can amplify his role more.

Some people say that Alonso's ability to control the ball is average, so isn't it easy to target him?

In fact, Alonso does not need to get rid of the ball for a long time to create opportunities for his teammates, because his passing distance is too long, so he can often pass the ball far away to his teammates in the backfield when the opposing defenders do not come to force him, and over time the opponent will not dare to press so much, and it will also let Real Madrid's midfield press the opponent.

In addition, Alonso's shooting ability of about 30 meters is very strong, which is far from what the vast majority of current midfielders can have, relatively speaking, the opponent's defensive formation can not be too narrow, it will be advanced, which is bound to affect the layout of the opponent's defensive line.

At this time, this attack of Real Madrid on the pitch was initiated by Alonso, who directly found Di Maria with a long pass.

Di Maria did not hold the ball too much in the face of Nasri's harassment next to him, but passed the ball to Modric in front.

Luka Modric kicked the ball and passed the ball to Mesut Ozil.

Real Madrid's passes were very fluid, and there were no stumbles in the middle, and Manchester City didn't even touch the ball to let the opponent hit their own 30-meter area.

These superstars, once they can play more tacitly, their offense is smooth and very beautiful.

This is what Mancini fears the most, if Real Madrid's frontline is entertained, Manchester City's defense will be in danger.
