Chapter 164: Crush Real Madrid's Offensive Tactics!
After the ball crossed the wall, it fell rapidly as if it were on an elevator, and it also had a very strange arc.
Navas was very focused, and after judging the landing point, he kicked the ground hard and flew to save.
He has done everything he can, but Ronaldo's free-kick kick is too tricky.
The falling ball almost touched the inside of the crossbar, grazing the inside of the net and crashing into the Manchester City goal!
With a bang, the San Siro Stadium exploded as if several bombs had been dropped.
The fans of Real Madrid and Ronaldo shouted frantically, and the whole stadium was lively like a vegetable market!
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was spectacular, arguably the best goal of the final so far.
What's more, it was his savior in danger after Real Madrid fell behind, giving the goal more meaning.
Cristiano Ronaldo was so excited that he rushed to the pitch like a frenzy, and after jumping high for a trademark celebration, he clenched his fists and roared to the sky!
In this game, he withstood the huge pressure and really achieved the same level as Lin Quan, even better than Lin Quan!
Twice stepped up after his team fell behind and scored crucial goals.
Both times were goals that were scored without the strong support of his teammates, relying on his excellent individual strength.
Such a Cristiano Ronaldo is already flawless for Real Madrid fans, and there is no place to find fault and criticize!
This can be seen from the reaction of the rest of the Real Madrid players and the manager after Ronaldo's goal!
After Ronaldo's goal, Real Madrid's side almost poured out, and the goalkeepers who were far away in their own half, and even the substitutes sitting on the bench, all rushed to the field to participate in the celebration of this goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the scorer, is respected and loved by everyone, and almost everyone wants to come up and pat him on the shoulder, or give him a warm hug.
It is no exaggeration to say that Ronaldo saved Real Madrid!
If it weren't for his two critical saviors, Real Madrid would have fallen behind 0:2 at this time!
"Cristiano Ronaldo is too strong!"
"He is worthy of being called a peerless man!"
"This free kick just now, it directly made me wet, with both strength, speed and even skill, how can there be such a perfect free kick, it's incredible!"
"Overhead kicks, two goals effectively responded to the outside world's doubts about him, now, I think who else dares to expel Ronaldo from the supergiant ranks!"
"Hehe, the four goals on the field were all completed by two supergiants, which makes me more and more interested in this game, between Lin Huang and Ronaldo, who will die?"
Ronaldo's outstanding performance not only dispelled the doubts of the outside world, but also made him recognized by many neutral fans.
Lin Quan and Messi are both talented players, and the talent that is almost overflowing is visible to the naked eye.
And Ronaldo is far less outstanding than these two in terms of talent, which makes many people feel that he is not so strong and does not recognize his supergiant status.
In the eyes of many people, Ronaldo is an ordinary star with better physical fitness, more goals, outstanding header ability, and a little free kick.
Without the blessing of great talent, it means that he can easily be replaced by other players.
However, in this game, after seeing him compete with top players like Lin Quan and score key goals in a row, those who questioned him also changed their views.
Although Ronaldo's talent may not be as good as these two, he is by no means an existence that ordinary people can catch up with with just practice.
Lin Quan has never despised Ronaldo, on the contrary, he admires the other party.
Cristiano Ronaldo has exploited his talent to the extreme, and the price to pay is unimaginable.
Many people say that Ronaldo is the upper limit that ordinary stars can reach, but the question is why can Ronaldo do it and others can't?
That's telling!
So, after seeing Ronaldo score such a wonderful goal, Lin Quan not only did not feel frustrated and jealous, but also felt excited and expectant, and even gave Ronaldo a round of applause!
It's this kind of close game that's interesting, and if Manchester City really flipped the Real Madrid car over and didn't make any waves, it would be too boring.
In the final, you should feel like the final!
The cameras at the scene soon discovered Lin Quan's move of applauding Ronaldo.
As the top names of their respective teams, the two are one of the core highlights of this game, and their every move has attracted the attention of countless pairs of eyes from the beginning.
Countless cameras on the sidelines kept switching back and forth between the two of them, just to highlight this contrast and increase the excitement of the game.
However, Lin Quan's unreasonable behavior made the photographer and the audience in front of the TV confused.
What's the situation?
Didn't you say a good grudge game?
Why did Ronaldo score a goal, but Lin Quan applauded the opponent instead?
What kind of grievance is this?
"Emperor Lin is this, have you surrendered to the enemy?"
"Cast a ghost, just conquered by my Luo's ball skills and strength!"
"Haha, Luo Fan really dares to think that even if the pattern of the Emperor is big, you beam-jumping clowns really dare to climb up the pole!"
"That's right, to be able to affirm the opponent's performance on this occasion, and even give applause to the opponent, Lin Huang's pattern and strength are much better than those fans who only attack each other in private!"
"Eh, how do I feel that Emperor Lin is smiling, look at the corners of his mouth, the unstoppable smile ......"
The fans thought it was a little strange, the opponents had equalised, how could you still laugh.
However, after the game restarted, they soon found that Lin Quan seemed to be a different person.
He reached out more frequently and was much more aggressive, as evidenced by his number of dribbles and success rate.
This change made Real Madrid's defenders very uncomfortable.
Their left-back Carvajal was soon booked for a foul on Lin Quan.
There is no way, he can't prevent it at all, if he doesn't foul, he is worried that he will score another goal after being rushed by the opponent.
It's just that, as Lin Quan's opposing defender, he has a yellow card on his back, which can be said to be very passive and unfavorable for Real Madrid's backline.
Carvajal, who was worried about receiving another yellow card, became a little reluctant to make a move in the following period.
He was not Lin Quan's opponent in the first place, and he used all his strength and even foul tactics to barely resist Lin Quan's attack.
But now, he didn't dare to foul, and he didn't even dare to make a big move, how could he be able to prevent Lin Quan with such a restrained hand!
As a result, the left side of Real Madrid was in danger for a while.
"Emperor Lin is so good, he loves it!"
"It's terrifying, it's a passing machine, Carvajal is about to be beaten and cried!"
"It turns out that this is the true strength of Emperor Lin? Could it be that he didn't give his all in the previous games? ”
When the fans saw Lin Quan, who was judging the two of them, they couldn't help but discuss it fiercely.
On the field, Ronaldo couldn't help but sigh when he saw Lin Quan who was making trouble on the left side of his house, and when he saw his teammates who were abused and doubted about his life.
This guy is too strong in individual combat ability!
Also as a winger, even when he was still Phnom Penh Luo, he did not have such a strong individual combat ability on the wing.
In Lin Quan's body, he saw the shadow of the peak Messi.
In the years of 91 Messi, Messi was such an unreasonable existence on the field.
And now Lin Quan seems to be even more unreasonable than Messi at the beginning!
"Help defense, don't fight him one-on-one!"
On the sidelines, Zidane gave instructions to the Real Madrid players on the pitch with a serious expression.
It was not easy to equalize the score, and it must not be so easy to let the opponent take the lead again.
Now Real Madrid's left side is very passive, Modric and even Bale are attracted to Lin Quan and are forced to participate in the defense.
But Real Madrid's right side still retains the ability to counterattack, as long as it can successfully play a counterattack, it is possible to reverse the game!
Moreover, although Lin Quan's individual combat ability is very strong, football is a team sport after all, and no matter how strong he is, it is impossible for him to challenge a whole team of Real Madrid.
Zidane even feels that Manchester City's offensive tactics may be completely destroyed by Lin Quan's insistence on fighting alone.
So, while the situation on the pitch looks like Real Madrid is very passive, it is not as dangerous as it seems.
On the other hand, Guardiola's expression is also very solemn.
If it were someone else's own, Guardiola would have gone berserk.
Lin Quan's tactics are not in his design, but as a free man and offensive core in the frontcourt, Lin Quan has the right to choose any offensive method.
And he firmly believes that Lin Quan will not do that kind of hot-headed thing, he must have his reasons for doing this!
Lin Quan did have a reason to do this, he kept attacking on the side, and he stared at Carvajal to fight alone, the purpose was to beat Carvajal down!
Among Real Madrid's two full-backs, Marcelo is a typical offense stronger than defensive, and some people joke that three Majoros can't defend against one Marcelo.
But that wasn't the case with Real Madrid's other full-back, Carvajal.
Carvajal is well-balanced in attack and defence, full of energy, not only has excellent crosses and assists, but also has a very solid defensive style and rarely makes mistakes.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the three years from 2016 to 2019, Carvajal was a strong contender for the world number one position in this position!
If Zidane can be forced to replace him, it can greatly weaken Real Madrid's strength.
And Lin Quan is very close to this goal.
In the 62nd minute of the second half, when Carvajal was once again ruthlessly played by Lin Quan, Zidane finally couldn't stand it.
Carvajal's physical exertion was too great, coupled with the yellow card on his back, which caused him to dare not make a move, so much so that it became a huge hole in the Real Madrid backline.
If this loophole is not closed soon, there are likely to be serious consequences.
So he brought on Real Madrid's substitute left-back Danilo to replace Carvajal.
Carvajal breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the substitution card raised on the sidelines.
This damn nightmare is finally over.
If it were possible, he would never want to play against Lin Quan on the court again.
"Carvajal is so miserable, he has been passed by Emperor Lin more than a dozen times!"
"yes, it's almost numb!"
"Seeing him panting, I suspect that if he kicks any longer, he will be exhausted to death!"
"Lin Huang's start is very fast, and the rhythm changes very suddenly, to keep up with his rhythm, the physical requirements are extremely high, and it is not easy for Carvajal to persist until now!"
Zinedine Zidane stood on the sidelines, hugged Carvajal as he left the pitch, and calmed his emotions:
"It's hard work, go to the bench and have a good rest, and follow everyone to witness our victory!"
Zidane's tone was very firm, convinced that they would win this game in the end.
"Hmm!"
Carvajal nodded heavily, although he still had a slight doubt about Zidane's words, but he would definitely not say it in front of the manager at this time.
Danilo is not as strong as Carvajal, but he was born in 91 and is young and strong, plus he has just played, and he is very physical.
So with the help of his teammates, the danger on the left side of Real Madrid began to fade away.
Manchester City's individual tactics of relying on Lin Quan's personal combat were finally contained!
However, is this really the case?
After Danilo came on, City quickly changed tactics.
Their two wings crossed positions, and Lin Quan came to the left and began to play against Marcelo, another full-back of Real Madrid.
Marcelo, who had witnessed the tragic situation of his companions throughout the whole process, was numb when he saw Lin Quan come to him.
His defensive ability is already very average, and in the face of a player like Lin Quan, who has strong individual combat ability, it is even more unbearable.
So Marcelo didn't dare to go up to assist at all, he put all his mind on defense, and even felt that he was not enough alone, so he desperately shook people, so that Casemiro, Ramos and even Ronaldo in the front court came back to help him defend.
However, the consequence of this was that Real Madrid's attack on the right was completely paralyzed.
After losing Marcelo's assist, Ronaldo struggled to get support from behind his team-mates.
Manchester City's sweep in the middle is very strong, and the likes of Luka Modric and Isco also struggle to send him good passes.
This led to Cristiano Ronaldo, the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's goals, losing his support alone in the front.
Seeing that he couldn't find an opportunity up front, Ronaldo had to retreat and devote his energy to defence.
It's just that this is completely promoting weaknesses and avoiding strengths, and the effect is very limited, not to mention, the physical consumption of him is very large.
On the other hand, after losing the threat of Ronaldo in the frontcourt, Real Madrid's threat to Manchester City's backline has greatly decreased, and Manchester City's backline has naturally begun to gradually press.
Against a team like Real Madrid, who are good at playing quick counter-attacks, it is not very wise to press too much.
But that was on the premise that the opposition was able to organize an effective counter-attack, and now Real Madrid has lost the support of the full-backs, it is difficult to play such a counterattack.
That's why Manchester City dared to press hard at this time!
When more and more Manchester City players appeared in Real Madrid's half, Lin Quan quickly changed his tactics, no longer playing alone, but playing with his teammates.
This kind of pressing pass-and-control football gives Real Madrid's players a sense of déjà vu that they have met Barcelona.
Obviously, the football was passing in front of them, but they didn't have a chance to touch the ball at all, so they could only tense their nerves, for fear that the opponent would suddenly launch a fatal blow!
The situation on the field gradually turned into Manchester City beating around Real Madrid, unilaterally conducting half-time offensive and defensive drills.
