Chapter 514: The Real Madrid backline that was stirred up
After Ozil got the ball, he leaned down slightly, and then feigned to continue to pass back to Wilshere behind him. Karim Benzema rushed up to break the ball and saw Ozil's intention to pass the ball and tried to get the ball out of the way first.
However, Ozil took the ball over when Benzema came out and easily avoided the French centre-forward's tackle.
Benzema glanced at his former teammate and didn't care. As a center forward, tackling the opponent's tee shot is only symbolic.
He started running towards Arsenal's backfield, handing over the situation behind him to his team-mates, and he had to run quickly to get ready to pick up the counter-attack after a team-mate's tackle.
Mesut Ozil immediately after dodging a symbolic press from former team-mate Benzema. Passed the ball. High ball, past the middle of Di Maria and his teammate center Giroud, although Di Maria jumped hard to push the ball down, but the header is really not what he is good at, not to mention that the ball has exceeded his bounce height.
The ball landed safely in front of Li Zihan, and he only accelerated and ran two steps before receiving the ball.
Experienced Real Madrid midfielder Marcos Alonso sensed something was wrong and immediately rushed up to steal the ball at the feet of Li Zihan. Facing one of the top midfielders in Spain and all of Europe, although the opponent is no longer young, he still does not underestimate him.
Li Zihan did not slow down his speed, but invisibly pointed his right foot forward to the front of the football when he ran.
Other players and fans may not have looked carefully, but Alonso, who came up to steal and intercept, focused on the other party, how could he not see it clearly?!
Is this going to use Marseille maneuver? Cruyff turned around? Or some other difficult moves? Alonso thought to himself.
In Alonso's view, a young player like Li Zihan, who is talented and combines speed, flexibility and skill, often in such a big game, in order to highlight his difference, he will definitely come up with some difficult moves to "please" the fans or humiliate the opposing players.
And he did so badly in the first few minutes of the first half, and now he must use Guò's dazzling performance to gain the recognition of the fans and the manager.
That's what Alonso thinks about talented young players, wasn't that how his team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo had just debuted? Isn't Robinho, who was once known as Pele II, the same?
But this time the experienced Alonso really looked away, Li Zihan didn't take those beautiful, complicated, cumbersome moves at all, he simply used his right heel to knock the ball behind him.
Then Li Zihan, who had no ball, accelerated and ran past Alonso's side.
"Heel Pass !!"
Behind Li Zihan was Giroud, who received a backheel pass from Li Zihan. But he also didn't have the idea of breaking through the opposition defence with the ball himself, nor did he have the idea of passing back to Mesut Ozil to wait for his team-mates.
He saw Li Zihan, who was very resolute towards the back of Real Madrid after passing the ball, and suddenly a bold idea popped up in his mind. But if you think about it carefully, it seems unlikely, the other party is Real Madrid, a star-studded galactic battleship.
But looking at Li Zihan's back getting farther and farther away, Giroud suddenly thought that if it was him, it wouldn't be necessarily
Giroud's thoughts turned quickly, and at this time Alonso didn't care about Li Zihan behind him, but rushed towards Giroud, who was holding the ball.
After Giroud figured it out, he looked up and saw Alonso rushing towards him. The French center forward was also unambiguous, directly following the example of Ozil, picking up the ball and passing a high ball.
The ball flew over Alonso's head and flew straight in front of Li Zihan's head. Alonso, who realized that it might not be good, immediately turned around and chased back, but Alonso, who was over thirty years old, was no longer as brave as he used to be in terms of both turning around and speed, and all he could see was Li Zihan's back that was getting farther and farther away.
Modric was not far from Alonso, and when he saw Alonso rushing towards Giroud with the ball, he kept following Li Zihan just in case. And sure enough, he saw Giroud pass the ball to Li Zihan, and he immediately wanted to overtake Li Zihan to go to the front of the opponent to destroy the ball in advance.
It's just that he can't catch up with Li Zihan in terms of both the adequacy of preparation and the speed, and when he was ready to completely accelerate towards the position where the ball landed, Li Zihan had already reached the front of him diagonally, two meters ahead of him.
The startled core of the Croatian midfield immediately rushed towards the ball with his legs like a girl.
Soon Li Zihan took the lead in coming to the landing point of the ball, he did not slow down, but a ball, and he immediately accelerated to keep up, completely throwing off Modric behind him. Croatia could only grit their teeth and watch the opponent's back chase after them, but felt that the chase was getting farther and farther away - Modric was not a speed player.
Ramos quickly rushed up from the side of the spur, and then fell directly to the ground and shoveled towards Li Zihan with the ball.
Li Zihan had obviously noticed the Real Madrid captain, and had already prepared, when the opponent fell to the ground, he immediately picked up the rolling ball with his toes, and then the whole person jumped with the power of running.
The ball flew over the head of Ramos, who fell to the ground, and then Li Zihan, who took off, also jumped over the top of Ramos.
Ramos, who was still gliding on the grass, looked up at Li Zihan in the sky, he had grown his mouth and eyes, obviously a little surprised and even unbelievable by Li Zihan's sudden reaction!
Although Ramos failed to slow down Li Zihan's speed, it was not for nothing, at least he successfully blocked the way of teammate Modric in this position, and the Croatian had to slow down and stop, otherwise he would collide directly with teammate Ramos.
Li Zihan !! In just the blink of an eye, he has broken through to the core of Real Madrid, and now Real Madrid's backline - chickens and dogs jump!! ”
Li Zihan landed successfully, and then also regained control of the ball.
Pepe had already given up his position when Ramos tackled diagonally and rushed towards Li Zihan. He originally thought that his teammate Ramos would be able to slow down Li Zihan's speed, and then he rushed up to have a chance to clear the ball early, but he didn't expect Li Zihan to slow down and use this way to pass his teammate Ramos.
And the point is that he hasn't run to the position of the ball yet, but the opponent has regained control of the ball.
When Li Zihan entered the core area of Real Madrid and messed up Real Madrid's defense, everyone reacted that this was Arsenal's chance?!
It's not that everyone reacts slowly, but Li Zihan's speed and changes are too fast.
Ah, this is still the same Li Zihan in the first half?? What about the broken ball? What about the anti-aircraft guns that were said to be good? What about the okay no physical contact??
Real Madrid fans complained in various ways.
And Ramos is called suffering, because in the first half through a few minutes of observation and contact, he also thinks that the other party is afraid of physical contact. That's why he used this menacing tackle that seemed to be quite lethal, in order to form psychological pressure on the opponent, and then force the opponent to slow down, so that even if he couldn't shovel the ball, he could use his body to separate the ball from Li Zihan.
But he didn't expect that Li Zihan, who was afraid of physical contact, directly rose to the challenge, and not only did not slow down in the face of his tackle, but accelerated his jump and jumped over him
Pepe made a vicious expression on his face, and then rushed towards Li Zihan, anyway, he was already out of his position, and it was obviously impossible to go back at this time, so he simply stepped forward to intercept it.
And his "special" appearance, coupled with the vicious expression that he deliberately expressed, is also a kind of his defensive ability. Many young players will inevitably be stunned when they see Pepe like this like a deadly black club, and then they give Pepe a lot of room to play.
But this time, Pepe's expression obviously did not frighten Li Zihan, although the Portuguese female tooth bared his mouth like the expression of an angry beast.
Li Zihan slightly flicked the ball to his right front, and his body was also slightly tilted in that direction, looking like he was going to use his speed to play the ball and then go inside to break through Pepe.
Pepe didn't expect this little guy to be so strong, this is to fight hard with himself??
Who is afraid of Who!!
Pepe immediately stretched out his foot, and only he knew in his heart whether it would break the ball, poke the ball, or trip and kick someone. The name "Warrior Monk" is not blown out, and Pepe also stretches out his hand, ready to make some small movements when making physical contact with the other party.
But Li Zihan immediately pulled the ball back with his left foot at this time, and his right-leaning body immediately swung to the left, and with a kick of his right leg, he immediately left the ground and rushed towards the left, that is, Pepe's right.
Pepe was shaken by Li Zihan's previous feint, and was shocked and wanted to reach out to hold the other party, but Li Zihan had already rushed past him, and his hand was empty!
"Nice feints to pull the ball and reverse the pass!! Pepe doesn't have the slightest ability to distinguish this feint!! ”
Passing Pepe's defense, Li Zihan cut in from behind the opponent and ran towards the penalty area.
Varane was in front of Li Zihan at this time, and he used his body to block Li Zihan's best route forward.
The French central defender is also smart, he knows that he is likely to be unable to defend against Li Zihan, so he plans to block the opponent's route, and then delay the time to wait for the support of his teammates.
