Chapter 233: Real Madrid
At 7:45 p.m. on May 6, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Dortmund hosted Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's lineup for this match is: goalkeeper Casillas, left wing-back Marcelo, central defenders Raphael Varane and Pepe, right wing-back Carvajal; The midfielders from left to right are Isco, Kroos, Ramos, and Ronaldo; The strikers are Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
Borussia Dortmund's side is still the same as before, except that right midfielder Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been replaced by Kuba after being injured.
In the Champions League semifinals of the 12-13 season, Dortmund's opponent was also Real Madrid, when Dortmund was 4-1 at home and 0-2 away, and the total score was 4-3 to eliminate the opponent.
Reaching the semi-finals is the third highest record in the history of the Dortmund team.
The first is that they won the Champions League in the 96-97 season after beating Juventus 3-1, and the second is that they reached the Champions League final in the 12-13 season, only to lose to Bayern Munich in the end.
For this game, the whole Dortmund team also attaches great importance to it and has high morale, after all, none of these players in their team have won the Champions League, and they have a natural desire for glory.
In addition to the players, the fans were also packed, as was the highest level of competition that could support a team at home stadium – the Champions League final was played at a neutral stadium.
The iconic image of the human head unfurled in the South Stand again, and the entire stadium was transformed into a sea of yellow.
"I really envy them, the atmosphere at home is so good."
During the warm-up, some Real Madrid players said that they have hardly achieved anything over the years except for a Champions League title, so they have been booed by their own fans.
"But after all, we are the best team in the world, and it is normal for the fans to be more demanding." Someone said that he understood the behavior of the fans.
"Also to ......"
As he spoke, the warm-up was over and the game began.
Amid the cheers of the fans, after the opening ceremony of the Champions League, the players of the two teams began to shake hands one by one.
When Shen Peng shook hands with Ronaldo, Ronaldo said something in Shen Peng's ear, and then shook hands with the players behind him with a smile.
This scene was also captured by the camera as a matter of course.
"We can see that Ronaldo seems to have said something to Shen Peng, guess what they will say."
"I think they may be a kind of mutual appreciation between geniuses, Shen Peng according to the current progress, it won't take a few years to become someone comparable to him."
"Well, that's what I thought too, of course, only they know what they said, and maybe, we can go and interview after the game."
This scene was shown on TV, and the narrator said.
Messi in front of the TV looked at the picture, clasped his hands together, the corners of his mouth curled, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich will be held at the same time tomorrow, the same as two years ago, the same four teams, the same group, but at that time, Barcelona lost 0-7 to Bayern Munich in two legs, although he did not play in the second leg, but even if he played, it could not change the situation at that time.
Tomorrow's game is their battle for revenge.
……
In the blink of an eye, the game on the pitch has begun.
Borussia Dortmund serve first.
Because Aubameyang is not on the field, the pressure on the Real Madrid defense is also less, although Shen Peng is still as active on the left side, but Real Madrid has less pressure on the other two roads, and the troops to defend Shen Peng can be relatively more, and Shen Peng has no good opportunities.
Of course, Shen Peng has also been looking for opportunities to use Eiffel to attack, and through the cooperation with Mbappe these days, Shen Peng has also discovered several characteristics of Eiffel's attack.
One is to form a single knife position at the end, which is only related to the position of the opponent's goalkeeper, where the goalkeeper is, where the single knife position is.
It is an exaggeration to say that if Casillas stands on the side of Dortmund's goal, then Shen Peng will bring the ball to his goal if he uses Eiffel to attack, and this characteristic is also determined, if the opponent's goalkeeper stands in front, Shen Peng's final shot is only slightly smaller, and it is likely to be destroyed by the defenders who are chasing back by the opponent.
This actually has little impact on Shen Peng's scoring efficiency, after all, it is impossible for ordinary goalkeepers to stand on the line of the big penalty area when the opponent attacks.
The second feature is that after using Eiffel to attack, you can't use other skills until you score, or the ball goes out of bounds, or the ball falls to the feet of the opposing player.
This is easy to understand, because these skills can't be used together, for example, when using momentum to shoot, you can't use the vulture shot at the same time, otherwise there will be a fallen ball that ignores the defender that only consumes two skill uses, which is even more powerful than the thunderbeast shot.
The Eiffel offensive skill is not like the shooting and passing skill, which is only used for a moment, it has a continuous process, and this process is from the beginning of using this skill to the loss of control of the ball, and no other skills can be used during this period.
Therefore, when facing the opposing goalkeeper, he can only rely on his own foot skills to score goals, unlike in the past, when he can also use shooting skills to increase his goal rate after forming a single knife.
The combination of these two characteristics also leads to the fact that he faces the opponent's goalkeeper at a very close distance every time, unlike the single knife that he breaks through, he can make choices in advance and can also use skills.
In this way, every time he uses Eiffel to attack, it is a test of his own footwork, and he has to shoot from very close distance to the goalkeeper, or shake past the goalkeeper.
Therefore, he must also find a good time to use Eiffel to attack now, one is that there are no other defenders around the goalkeeper, and the other is when the goalkeeper is relatively close to the goal, so that he can ensure that he scores in the end, otherwise it is easy to be held by the opponent when facing the top goalkeeper.
At this time, Ramos ran out from Shen Peng's diagonal front.
Ramos was originally the main central defender of Real Madrid, and this game was also to defend Shen Peng, so he temporarily came to the right midfield, which happened to defend Shen Peng's position.
Ramos is a defender, and his defensive skills and experience are naturally needless to say, so in the face of Shen Peng, he kept a certain distance from Shen Peng as soon as possible, continued to exert pressure, and did not rush to grab it, because he knew that in that case, it would be easy for Shen Peng to use the explosion to accelerate the breakthrough.
