Chapter 602: Reviewing the Defensive Line, Crazy Rosie
Fernandinho was called to his side by Pep Guardiola as his opponent celebrated.
It was the 55th minute, with 35 minutes to go, and City had to deal with the defensive problems at the back.
Bernard Silva and Gundogan are not traditional defensive midfielders, with a weak sense of position and easy leakage.
In Real Madrid's attack, after Vinicius had completely gotten rid of the defense, Bernard Silva also failed to appear on the passing line.
Although he also actively defended, he made serious mistakes in the optional position.
This kind of defense can only be said to be in place, nothing more.
If City don't solve this problem, there is also a risk of being broken through the defence by Real Madrid.
Pep Guardiola's first adjustment was to bring on Fernandinho and remove B-Silva.
After Gundogan was freed from defence, he could comb the attack and connect with De Bruyne up front.
Under the combing of the two one after the other, Manchester City's passing rhythm began to pick up.
In the 60th minute, Zinchenko passed the ball from the side, and De Bruyne, after leaning on Casemiro's defence, used an imaginative backheel pass to send the ball behind the Real Madrid defence.
Mahrez, who cut diagonally into the middle from the wing, received the ball and walked to the middle, constantly changing direction in small motions to try to mobilize Ramos' defence.
The experienced Ramos, who is well aware of the characteristics of his opponent, did not go up to the top, but defended sideways, slowly retreating, and slowed down Manchester City's advance.
The opponent was not fooled, and Mahrez immediately used a big change of direction to get rid of it, and went to the middle, attracting the defense of Real Madrid's two central defenders.
At that moment, Raheem Sterling cut forward at high speed from behind, received a pass from Riyad Mahrez, and attacked behind the Real Madrid centre-back.
Full-back Carvajal has been following closely behind him and managed to take advantage of the inside and push Raheem Sterling out.
Courtois also took the initiative and fell to the ground to block the near corner.
[Sterling is in!] 】
[Facing Real Madrid Bag Clip! ] 】
Is there a chance? 】
[Raheem Sterling shoots!! 】
Ooh!!!!
With a loud sigh, Sterling's shot slid past the goalkeeper.
In order to avoid the blocks of Thibaut Courtois and Carvajal, Raheem Sterling opted to shoot into the far corner.
But this is quite demanding on the striker's marksmanship.
Raheem Sterling, who is not yet mature in finishing ability, misses the goal.
After seeing the tactical effect, Guardiola continued to make substitutions.
Gabriel Jesus came on to replace Raheem Sterling.
At present, Manchester City's forwards are mostly small, fast and smart.
When it comes to finishing ability, Aguero is at the top of the list, followed by Gabriel Jesus.
However, given Aguero's age, Pep Guardiola believes Gabriel Jesus will be more in tune with the team's tactics.
After Fernandinho's appearance, Manchester City's defense in the middle was strengthened, resulting in Real Madrid unable to develop their attack in the middle and had to divert to the wings.
That's what Pep Guardiola was waiting for.
City built up tight defence and vicious tackles on the flanks as they tried to break the ball.
Vinicius's play was severely limited, as soon as he got the ball, he was immediately surrounded by two opponents.
And in the small encirclement, even if Vinicius passes one defender, there will be a second and third defender who will quickly pounce on him.
In short, Manchester City will do whatever it takes to lay siege on the wings.
Vinicius only learned from Rossi how to play 1v1 on the wing.
But this 1vn technology, even if Rosie comes, it will be difficult to get rid of it.
But once again, Rossi told Vinicius how the winger should create chances.
In the 70th minute, Rossi ran sideways and pulled the side and retreated to receive a pass from Luka Modric.
It is not uncommon for wingers to drop back and receive the ball, which is a common receiving technique for wingers.
Rossi has solid fundamentals, and has a sideways run when he retreats, which makes Kyle Walker not dare to go up easily.
Because once he swooped in, Rossi could turn and break through and drive along the touchline into the box.
Rossi took advantage of this and easily dropped back to receive passes from his teammates.
After receiving the ball, Benzema quickly stepped forward and was ready to receive the ball.
At this time, if Rossi passes the ball, it is very likely that he will be cut off by Fernandinho.
So, with his back to the defense, Rossi used the outside of his right foot to cross the ball to the middle, and at the same time turned and walked towards the middle, instantly avoiding the three's bag.
Manchester City's siege in the ribs was not completely closed, and Rossi picked the ball.
After Casemiro received the ball in the middle, Manchester City's defense in the middle was not chaotic, but the defense on the weak side was very thin.
By the time Vinicius received the ball, it was almost a 1v1 on the wing.
Turning the strong side into the weak side is the best way to break the pressure on Manchester City's wings.
Rossi's pass, crucial.
Well, learned again!
Vinicius, who was humble in his studies, used a simple bicycle on the wing, shook Zinchenko, and swept the ball to the goal.
The three Manchester City players in front of goal, as well as Benzema, failed to get their hands on the ball and instead came to the back post of Rossi.
However, because the landing point was close to the baseline and there was no angle to shoot, Rossi had to pick the ball back to the middle.
When the inside of the right foot touches the lower right half of the ball, the twist of the body causes the ball to spin to the left while flying.
Everyone thought it was a pick-and-roll, only Rossi himself knew that his purpose was the goal.
Goalkeeper Ederson watched the ball intently, and at first he thought it was a cross, but took a step with his left foot out, ready to send it flying with both fists.
But when he noticed that the ball did not go outward, but spun inward, his scalp went numb instantly.
It was too late to adjust, and Ederson immediately straightened his arm to block the ball into the net.
In a hurry, he failed to squat in advance to accumulate strength, and naturally he couldn't jump high, watching the ball fall from above his fingertips and fall into the net behind him.
The Manchester City defenders were collectively stunned, holding their heads in their hands.
We are human beings, and we can't guard against fairy balls!
The loud cheers swept through the entire Dragon Stadium in an instant.
[Hat-trick, hat-trick, Rosie completed a hat-trick in the final! ] 】
[This is a very imaginative zero-degree shot!] 】
[Rosie! 】
[He dominates the game!] 】
[This shot seems to be a review of Manchester City's defense! ] 】
[No one can stop him! 】
[Real Madrid is one step closer to defending the title! ] 】
On the sidelines, Zidane's mouth opened slightly, and his right hand habitually touched his head.
Then he flicked his hands frantically, and the speed was comparable to that of a propeller.
At this moment, he couldn't describe Rossi's crazy performance in words.
The goal in this final can definitely be ranked in the top three.
In the last Champions League final, Rossi's "Flying Immortals" memories were killed, earning enough tears from Zidane.
And this time the pick-and-shoot kicked out of the football world for a whole summer.
Rossi's name is bound to be a topic of conversation among fans throughout the summer.
Real Madrid, with only 10 minutes left on the road to defending their title.
