252 penalties, psychological warfare
Seeing that the players could only be beaten passively and had no power to fight back, Arsène Wenger secretly clenched his teeth, clenched his two fists behind his back, and felt very uncomfortable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Without home advantage, even if the Gunners are playing new tactics, the shortcomings of the players' abilities simply cannot make up for the huge gap in overall strength between the two sides.
And if the center forward is Robert Lewandowski?
And if the winger is a Robery combination?
What if the B2B midfielder is Arturo Vidal?
If......
Well, if you have a large number of world-class players from Bayern Munich under your command, under the leadership of Zhang Zhetian, this new set of tactics can at least play ninety percent and kill the galaxy battleship in front of you, which is not a problem at all.
Because Zinedine Zidane's white army is not perfect, it is one thing to know the weaknesses of the other party, and it is another thing to have the ability to fight weaknesses, and it is obvious that the current Arsenal team, at the Bernabeu Stadium, cannot do it.
Arsenal had already tasted the bonus of home advantage in the middle of last week, but unfortunately they were unable to achieve a better result.
Now, it's the turn of the more powerful Real Madrid.
After Arsenal's opening sneak attack failed, Real Madrid quickly took control of the scene with their strong technical ability, and in less than 20 minutes, they had 6 shots on goal, 5 of which were successfully saved by the brave Zhang Zhetian.
Even if you watch the lively audience, you can see that the side wearing the white jersey has the advantage, and the side wearing the black jersey will have conceded the goal long ago if it were not for the several saves made by the player in the east face in front of the goal.
Looking at Zhang Zhetian, who shouted loudly to command his teammates to arm, in the hall of an independent villa in Manchester City, Josep Guardiola shook his head, feeling sorry for the Chinese door god for 3 seconds.
'If you can keep a clean sheet at the Bernabeu tonight, even if Arsenal are knocked out, you will be a winner!'
In the 20th minute, Real Madrid took a tactical corner, and after receiving a corner kick pass from Toni Kroos, Luka Modric suddenly dribbled into the penalty area, and the Arsenal defenders who were caught off guard finally made a big mistake, Alexander Oxlade-Chamberlain eagerly reached out to put his hand on Modric's shoulder, and the Croatian fell to the ground.
"NONONONO......" Chamberlain angrily glanced at Modric, who had fallen to the ground, and turned to the running referee, Viktor Kaushoi, shaking his head and shaking his index finger while shouting.
Zhang Zhetian watched quietly, he glanced at Modric, who was sitting on the ground with his arms outstretched, and turned his head to look at Cristiano Ronaldo, who was excited with his fists clenched.
Regardless of whether Modric faked a fall or not, Chamberlain's hand was on someone's shoulder, and the Croatian had the ball at his feet and was the side that was advantageous to the attack, so, according to the rules, Chamberlain did foul, and Kauszoi awarded a penalty, which was fine.
Therefore, Zhang Zhetian looked at Ronaldo, he knew that this Portuguese superstar would be the penalty taker, so he had to find out the characteristics of Ronaldo in his mind to take penalties.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that after Kauszoi made a penalty decision, he also showed a yellow card to Chamberlain, before Chamberlain fouled Modric in the backfield, Kaushoi also warned him specifically, so when he saw Chamberlain fouling again, he did not hesitate to show him a card.
Gunners captain Laurent Koscielny pulled away from Oxlade-Chamberlain, who had made a proposal to Koshoi, and warned him to wait until he was left if he argued with the referee again.
Chamberlain could only walk away indignantly, and suddenly, there was a shout from behind him: "Alexander, I'm here, don't worry!" β
Seeing Zhang Zhetian confidently stretching out his thumb to himself, Chamberlain had a sour nose, nodded, and said silently in his heart: "Palm, come on, as long as you don't lose the ball, please eat Spanish seafood dinner after the game!" β
"Haha, are you interested in guessing whether the palm will save this penalty." In the Sky Sports studio, Martin Taylor said to everyone with a smile on his face.
Looking at the screen, Cristiano Ronaldo, who stepped on the penalty spot with the ball in his arms, the junior who once received his No. 7 shirt at Manchester United, David Beckham smiled: "I guess Cristiano will score." β
"I know you're going to support him," Steve McManaman teased Becky as if I had seen through you, and then said his opinion: "I guess the palm will pounce." He saved penalties at both Anfield and Allianz Stadiums, and his reach is long and his coverage will be huge. Also, his palms can give opponents a kind of psychological shock, and I have never seen such a large palm. β
Thierry Henry, who was on the side, said: "I looked at the data, since Ronaldo joined Real Madrid, he has played a total of 78 penalties, missed 9 penalties, and the shooting rate is 88.46%, which is quite good, and all the 5 penalties he has taken in all competitions this season have been scored." β
Michael Irving's eyes lit up, he scored all the penalties this season, and he hasn't missed yet?
"I choose Cristiano Ronaldo to score."
McManaman gave him a blank look when he saw that his good friend was at odds with him, and then looked at Jonathan Woodgate.
"Mumen" smiled slightly: "I am optimistic about the palm." β
Succinctly, Woodgate turned his gaze to the TV screen.
2 against 2, and that's all that is left with old Taylor and Henry.
As expected, Henry, who is an Arsenal celebrity and has played for Real Madrid's rival Barcelona, is naturally a supporter of his parent team.
Taylor Sr. made the crucial vote: "Cristiano missed a penalty at the Bernabeu 23 months ago, and there are many similarities with the Valencia goalkeeper. β
4 to 2, the majority of those who are optimistic about the palm Zhe Tian pounce.
Of course, in the end, who is right and who is wrong will depend on the battle between Zhang Zhetian and Ronaldo on the 12th yard.
This season, Ronaldo got 5 penalty opportunities in all competitions, all of which were scored, including 4 in the league and 1 in the Club World Cup.
The last time a penalty was conceded at the Bernabeu was on March 20 last year, when Real Madrid beat Sevilla 4-0 at home, and at 57 minutes of the second half, although they deceived the opposing goalkeeper, they kicked it away.
However, for Cristiano Ronaldo, the most memorable penalty missed at the Bernabeu was the one at home to Valencia 23 months ago.
In that game, Real Madrid fell behind 0-2, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who won a penalty, had a chance to pull a goal back for Real Madrid, but in the face of Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves, Ronaldo's shot was saved beautifully by the opponent, and in the end, Real Madrid lost the league title that season after the loss.
And saved two consecutive penalty kicks from the world's top stars, Alves not only became Ronaldo's save nemesis, but also the world's first save goalkeeper, with 23 of 48 penalty saves, and a success rate of 47.91% is the world's best.
Looking at the calm and dancing palm in front of him, all of a sudden, Ronaldo seemed to see that what was standing in front of him was the "San Diego" who saved his penalty kicks in a row.
Blinking vigorously and shaking off the distractions in his head, Ronaldo took a deep breath and prepared to run.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhetian pointed to his chest with his left hand, then pointed to his right hand side, and grinned.
Seeing this scene, Ronaldo's pupils shrank sharply, and his originally calm heart rippled.
Zhang Zhetian's action has long been shown in front of audiences all over the world by the close-up of the camera.
In the Sky Sports studio, the corners of McManaman's mouth twitched: "This kid, here you go again." β
