Chapter 640 - Always Believe in Miracles

Rossi is the heart of Real Madrid's attack and has unlimited fire.

This is the focus of Ancelotti's emphasis on the offensive side since taking charge.

And it's a top priority.

Therefore, when Anfat asked Vinicius to shoulder the team's attacking responsibility, the Real Madrid players opened their eyes a little unexpectedly.

Is this to change the flag of the city?

Immediately afterwards, An Fat continued: "We have to attack in the second half, and the opponent's running ability is no worse than ours, so we must concentrate all our strength and strike accurately. ”

"Ronaldo, you came as a center forward in the second half, Karim, you are on the right side, do you know how to do it?"

As soon as An Fat said this, all the Real Madrid staff instantly understood.

With Manchester City's defence today, Kyle Walker, who has returned from injury, is the only hole, and Real Madrid must seize this only flaw and strike at it.

When it comes to breaking through the deep defence, Vinicius is more suited to the current tactics than Rossi.

And the transfer of Rossi to the middle, also considering the 34-year-old Benzema, may not be able to support the task of retreating in tandem physically.

said that Vinicius was allowed to sing the leading role, but in fact, Rossi was under more pressure than Vinicius and Benzema.

As soon as the whistle blew in the second half, Real Madrid immediately pressed towards the Manchester City half.

Since you want to attack, you have to start with oppression.

Rossi sprinted quickly in the direction of the ball and pressed goalkeeper Ederson for the first time.

Manchester City's tactics for Real Madrid were clearly underprepared, with the two full-backs not returning in time and waiting for the ball near midfield.

And Real Madrid's forward trio has pressed towards Manchester City's two central defenders and goalkeepers.

Without a proper passing line, Ederson had to pass the ball forward.

Casemiro stepped forward quickly, leaped deep and flicked the ball over Rodri's head to his team-mate.

Luka Modric received the ball near the right side of midfield and returned to Kroos, who had been dragged back.

Then Kroos guided him with a precise kick and found Rossi behind the defensive line.

In an instant, the Real Madrid trident left Manchester City's central defenders and midfielders behind.

Rossi's reverse forward cut to keep himself out of an offside position and quickly run into the Manchester City penalty area.

Manchester City captain Ruben Dias threw his head back and struggled to chase it before Rossi stepped into the box.

Finding that there was no room to shoot, Rossi took a step with his left foot, lowered his center of gravity, leaned on the defence, and then smashed his heel directly to Vinicius on the left.

Vinicius won the ball and headed it forward, but the force was unexpectedly strong and was successfully blocked by the attacking goalkeeper.

Huge sighs came and went, and Real Madrid fans put their heads in their hands to express their regret for missing the goal.

Corner kick taken.

Militão's header skyrocketed as he attacked, beating Laporte and heading straight into the middle of the goal, which was held up by the goalkeeper with one palm.

In the ensuing corner, Kroos found Benzema, but Benzema's header was also a fraction of a second.

The succession of dangerous situations made Guardiola fidget, and immediately used gestures to direct the players to defend.

But just three minutes later, Real Madrid attacked again.

After Rossi retreated to receive the ball, he and Luka Modric hit the wall and came to the outside of the penalty area.

In the face of a multi-player defence, Rossi calmly pushed a diagonal line and broke through City's rib defence.

This is Real Madrid's classic "one wing, many flights" tactic.

Rossi's pullback allowed the opponent's defensive line to rise, so Vinicius had a chance to raid the space behind the defense.

But it's a pity that Vinicius's shot still failed to break through Ederson's ten fingers.

In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Real Madrid launched a fierce attacking mode, several threatening attacks, and almost all formed good shooting opportunities, but never scored.

After several charges, the physical fitness of the Real Madrid veterans fell into a bottleneck, and the defense line in the midfield began to become loose, and the counterattack could not be pushed up, so they could only rely on the long pass in the back field to launch an attack.

After Real Madrid's midfield press became loose, Manchester City scored in the 70th minute of the game.

B-Silva received a pass from a teammate near the centre circle, but was unmarked and drove the ball all the way.

This also reflects that the physical fitness of the veteran Real Madrid midfielders has reached a critical value in the continuous attack.

B-Silva dribbled the ball to the left, causing the Real Madrid defence to tilt badly, and then crossed the ball to the right.

Riyad Mahrez on the right cut in at high speed, and fired a shot from a tight angle without stopping the ball in the ribs, breaking through Courtois's goal.

1:0!

Off the pitch, Pep Guardiola shook his fist excitedly and jumped into the air.

【GOAL!!!!!! 】

[The ball is in, Manchester City is ahead!] 】

[Mahrez is making up for his mistakes and making up for his mistakes by repeatedly missing goals in the first leg! ] 】

[The quality of this shot is very high!] 】

[Not only is the angle small, but Courtois, who is already standing at the near angle, doesn't have time to react! ] 】

[Now, with a total score of 5:3, Manchester City is one step closer to the final! ] 】

Seeing that the midfield was in a physical shortage, An Fat immediately made adjustments.

Rodrygo replaces Kroos and strengthens the attack.

Real Madrid must score 2 goals in the remaining time to avoid being eliminated.

However, after the removal of Kroos, the pressure on Real Madrid's two midfielders increased suddenly, and they could only barely retreat, unable to support the attack.

Seeing this, An Fat immediately activated the second set of tactics, Camavinga and Asensio replaced Casemiro and Modric.

Real Madrid's three midfielders were all substituted.

Subsequently, Pep Guardiola also made substitutions immediately.

Jack Grealish replaces Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko replaces Kyle Walker.

The only point that Real Madrid can use is completely blocked.

As the game entered the 80th minute, Real Madrid did not pose a threat to Manchester City's goal for a long time.

The fans were as anxious as ants in a hot pot, stomping their feet and holding their heads in their hands.

In danger, An Pang plans to give it a go.

Valverde replaced the cramped Vinicius and launched the final attack in a 4-4-1-1/4-2-4 formation.

And Pep Guardiola also replaced Gundogan with De Bruyne, who was overdrawn.

Fernandinho replaces goal-scorer Riyad Mahrez.

Real Madrid's absence of Luka Modric in midfield has led to a disconnect between the midfield and the attack.

Fortunately, with Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez off the pitch, Manchester City's forward pressing plummeted, and Real Madrid was able to press the attack and narrow the problems in midfield.

Even so, City's tenacious defence dragged the game into the final minute of regulation time.

Manchester City fans from afar, behind the side of their own goal, were already cheering for victory, hoping that Manchester City would reach the final for the second consecutive season.

Some Real Madrid fans felt that it was impossible for Real Madrid to score two goals in a short period of time, so they got up and left the stadium early.

Among the first fans to leave the stadium, Bandy Loew walked out of the stadium with his daughter with a gloomy face.

The game time was 88 minutes and 27 seconds.

The reporter who was waiting outside the stadium to prepare for an interview stepped forward to ask him why he left so quickly, and the game was obviously not over.

Bandy Loew shook his head at first, then said calmly: "We were two goals behind and it was difficult to equalize, and the child said she didn't like it here and cried so sadly, so I took her out. ”

"But I still believe that Real Madrid can turn the game around!"

Bandy Loew concluded.

At this moment, a deafening cheer was heard inside the Bernabeu stadium, and the elongated "GOAL" tail sound of the on-site commentator reached the ears of every Real Madrid fan who left the stadium.

The cheers seemed to press the DNA hidden in the fans' bodies, and they immediately jumped up.

"Baby, do you hear that? We scored and we still have hope! ”

"I'm going back!"

“Hala Madrid!!!”

Bandy Loew was still stomping his feet excitedly, his daughter was already holding his hand, and the father and daughter rushed back to the court.

Not only them, but the fans who had just walked out of the stadium, and those who had not yet stepped out of the stadium, all turned around and returned to the stadium after hearing the news of the goal.

The distance from the gate to the stadium is so short, but it looks like they are going through a marathon.

They learned from the on-site commentator that it was Rodrigo who scored the goal, and Rossi, who assisted him.

When they rushed back to the court, a shocking scene made them crazy again.

Camavinga picked up a pass from the back, and Rossi made a successful offside play in front of the end and went into the box.

He unloaded the ball with his right foot, faked a real dunk, shook Manchester City captain Dias, and then picked the ball up with his left foot.

Yes, there is nothing wrong with that.

In the case of such a tight stalemate,

In the face of the Manchester City captain's strict defense,

Rossi was not only calm in the box.

He was also able to pick up the ball in style.

Ederson was ready to fall to the ground, but Rossi was unusually calm enough to pick the ball over his head.

The Manchester City goalkeeper could only raise his pale and feeble hand for the final struggle.

As the ball slowly fell into the far corner of the goal, inside the Bernabeu Stadium, it was completely crazy at the moment!
