797 Chess Party
"Welcome back to the game, we saw the players from both teams re-entering the pitch!"
With the words of the on-site commentator, I saw that after the players of the two teams re-played, they quickly exchanged venues, and laid out formations and tactics in their respective halves, and from the field, it seemed that both teams had not changed.
"It's strange that Manchester United is still 433, Real Madrid is still 4231, and neither team has made changes and adjustments!"
The live TV camera gave a close-up of the players of both teams, and found that all the players were the same as in the first half, and they were unchanged.
"We were still speculating that tacticians like Yang Cheng and Ferguson would definitely make adjustments at halftime, but now it seems that there is no such sign, which makes us wonder, what are they thinking? Was it intended to continue the stalemate in the first half? ”
As the referee's whistle blew and the game unfolded, everyone was surprised to find that Real Madrid, who took the lead in kick-off, was not in a hurry at all, and continued to control the ball steadily, even if they seemed to be unable to launch an effective attack on Manchester United, but they were still chasing possession.
Manchester United, as always, disrupt Real Madrid's rhythm with running, even at the cost of fouls.
The scene continued the stalemate of the first half, which was very incomprehensible.
"According to normal times, Yang Cheng and Ferguson should find an effective way to break the other party's situation, but now it seems that they are not ready to change the deadlock, what is going on?" The live TV camera first showed Yang Cheng in front of the home team's coach's seat, he still clasped his hands on his chest, standing on the edge of the court, looking calm and confident. And next to him Benitez and Paul? Bayer, left and right, didn't move much. Just watching the game seriously.
Behind him in the coach's seat. Tim? Hank, Raul, Guti, Zidane and others are discussing and paying attention to something, and from time to time they will also look at the situation of the game and discuss it, but it is too far away. Can't hear what they're saying.
Alex Ferguson sat in the away dugout, chewing gum. looks like relish, and from time to time he says a few words to the assistant next to him, even joking. It's really worrying. He didn't want to swallow the gum in his stomach.
Although neither team made any changes at halftime, the situation on the field gave people more and more a sense of urgency that was about to come, especially the players of the two teams, without the slightest concession, were actively playing the game, which seemed to give people a sense of determination that would rather sacrifice than take half a step back!
It's not just the fans in the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium. Even the audience in front of the TV can feel that urgency. The situation is like a rubber band that is getting tighter and tighter, getting thinner and thinner, but no one knows when it will break with a bang.
But everyone is waiting for the moment of breaking!
Because this atmosphere is too depressing, it feels too heavy, too dignified!
The players on the bench of the two teams frequently came out to warm up, and they couldn't see who they were going to replace, and they didn't know when they would make substitutions.
Time seems to be flowing in hundredths of a second, making it feel like it's passing so slowly, and below 0:0 on the big red scoreboard, time changes second by second, very slowly, very slowly.
"Yang Cheng once said that the football game is playing chess, and the head coach is the chess player, and as a chess player, the most important thing is to be able to endure the pressure, and be able to stay calm anytime and anywhere, so as to accurately judge the situation at every step, and even make predictions in advance!" ...,"I suddenly want to tell Yang Cheng and Ferguson, two admirable chess players......" The on-site commentator shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Please, give us a simple one, don't torture!" ”
This should also represent the voice of all the fans, they all want to see that kind of crisp and clean game, but now the scene is stalemate, no one takes advantage, no one suffers, occasionally creates a few chances, but they are not good opportunities, and they are not seized.
…………
…………
Although in the eyes of laymen, and even many professionals, the game situation is very stalemate, but for Yang Cheng, who is personally involved in this layout, the game is developing on the favorable side of Real Madrid, because Manchester United is gradually retreating.
This kind of retreat is very insignificant, and many people may not notice it for a while, but Yang Cheng can see it very clearly, so he hardly thinks about whether Ferguson also saw it, when he got Tim behind him? Hank sent it, about Gary? Neville's data, after confirming his thoughts, immediately made a substitution.
Klose replaces David? Silva is out of the game!
In the 56th minute, Yang Cheng finally couldn't help but make a substitution adjustment, replacing Spanish midfielder David with German striker Klose? Silva, it looks like this should be a technical change! "David? After Silva and Klose embraced, they walked towards Yang Cheng, and when the two hugged, Yang Cheng told him about his intention to make a substitution, and the latter nodded in understanding, and then walked to the bench.
"Ferguson also looked like he was going to make a substitution, and he called Park Ji-sung to arrange adjustments and changes!" The live broadcast footage was also shown in front of Manchester United's coaching box, and Ferguson pulled Park Ji-sung to say something.
However, when the game resumes, substitutions must wait for a dead-ball opportunity to take place.
I saw that after the substitution adjustment was completed, Real Madrid's tactics looked a little different, German striker Klose was pushed to the front, Xiao Xiaoluo was replaced by Yang Cheng on the right side, Villa moved to play on the left side, Kaka still occupies the forward position, there seems to be no change, but Real Madrid soon played a very threatening attack.
Real Madrid in the middle of the route Xavi? Alonso took the ball, the latter passed to De La Red, and the Spanish midfielder dribbled forward, and after being interfered by Scholes, it passed to McCone on the right, who was afraid of being caught by Giggs and Rooney, and passed it back to Ramos at the first time. Ramos, on the other hand, was passed to Thiago under Berbatov's symbolic interference? Silva.
Thiago? Silva dribbles the ball diagonally to the left. After attracting Benzema's attention. The first pass was made to Marcelo on the wing, who took the ball forward with great speed and used his speed along the left flank to get past Fletcher's defence. The latter followed closely all the way.
Villa had also been operating on the left before, but Marcelo was seen to cut forward with the ball. He always keeps talking to Gary? Neville's distance, however, moved to the left middle of the England defender's left side, as the Brazilian full-back quickly advanced up front. With Fletcher's interference. Suddenly there was an emergency stop, and Fletcher followed the emergency stop, lost his balance, and the ball passed to Villa's feet.
After Villa won the ball, he kicked back to the left side of Gary? Behind Neville.
Marcelo rushed to Gary as fast as he could without the ball? Behind Neville. The gap in speed between the young and the veteran was instantly exposed, especially Gary? Neville after 60 minutes of play. The physical energy is already in a state of severe depletion.
Fletcher turned around after a sharp stop, and saw that Marcelo had crossed Gary? Neville, after getting the ball, cut to the left side of the Manchester United penalty area, and Ferdinand blocked this position for the first time, but Marcelo made a sharp stop and then suddenly accelerated, shook Ferdinand's position, and without waiting for Ferdinand to react, he took the ball with his left foot for the first time. …,
If according to normal circumstances, Weiss? Brown should have paid attention to Klose in front of the penalty area at the first time, which is not wrong in itself, and he did it, but he was blocked by Klose, who leaned on Weiss with his body? Brown and Van der Sar were staring at him closely.
In such a situation, it is almost impossible for Klose to get a header on goal, unless he can get a header on goal. Brown's interference topped a far corner, otherwise the near corner was easily pounced on by Van der Sar, or even directly into his arms, but the difficulty of hitting the far corner is not something that ordinary people can do, so he chose to ferry.
The ball grazed the top of his head and went over Vess? The top of Brown's head, falling.
Kaka, who hadn't entered the penalty area much just now, was cruising outside the big penalty area, and when he saw Weiss? After Brown posted Klose, he didn't know how Klose would play this ball, but instinctively exploited the holes in Manchester United's defense, so when Klose crossed over, Kaka happened to be in Wies? Behind Brown, in front of the right post.
Interestingly, Kaka's position is very close to the position of Benzema's feet at the beginning of the game, the difference is that Benzema gets a low flat ball, while Kaka gets a high ball ferry, Kaka's header ability is average, he can't think as much as Benzema, and he has to consider the angle, so he directly faced the ball and hit a near corner. The ball touched Kaka's head, turned in one direction and flew straight to the top right corner of the goal.
This ball Klose is very average, after all, it is in Weiss? Under Brown's interference, the decision was made in a hurry, but Kaka was very close to the goal, as long as the ball was not high and not crooked, then nine out of ten would definitely go in!
Van der Sar wanted to make a save, but it happened in an instant, and Kaka's header went into the top right corner of the goal before Van der Sar could react!
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
Under the shouts of the on-site commentators, in the cheers of tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans in the entire Bernabeu Stadium, Kaka excitedly rushed out of the Manchester United penalty area, and the whole person rushed out of the stadium and rushed to the lower part of the stands of Real Madrid fans, raising his hands at the Real Madrid fans in the stands, as if to accept the cheers from them!
Kaka! Kaka!! Kaka!!!
The Real Madrid fans in the stands were overwhelmed, all chanting Kaka's name!
"It was a goal that broke the deadlock on the pitch completely!"
"From Marcelo and Villa's combination on the left and Klose's header, it was actually a typical team goal, Kaka contributed a lot, but this goal was the result of the Real Madrid team!"
Through repeated replays in slow motion, you can clearly see each step, and from different angles, you can see that Xiao Xiaoluo is involved in Evra on the right side, making Evra and Weiss? Brown had a gap in the box, and Kaka took advantage of that gap to score.
Undoubtedly, this is the credit of everyone's cooperation, not just one person!
"Gary? Neville was forced by Marcelo, who couldn't keep up with Marcelo in terms of speed and looked slow and clumsy. And Scholes and Giggs didn't return to the penalty area for the first time, which caused Kaka to easily plug in! ”
"In the moment when Real Madrid suddenly played a fast attack. They are able to take advantage of their speed. Completely disconnect the three lines of Manchester United, and then create a goal scoring opportunity, this goal has a certain amount of chance, but there is also a great inevitability! ”
Manchester United's pace is more about counter-attacks. But they didn't push through the whole group, but through Wayne Rooney, Benzema. Even Berbatov to complete, the Bulgarian striker is more of a fulcrum, and he has no advantage in countering with speed. ..., but in midfield. The presence of the three elders made Manchester United unprepared for a fast attack. It's easy for them to get out of touch, and it's just a matter of when Giggs and Scholes didn't catch Kaka in time.
"Real Madrid take the lead 1-0!" After the Real Madrid players celebrated, the on-site commentator smiled and said, "It's going to be a bad game for Manchester United now, but the most important thing is not to think about an equaliser. It's about stabilizing the position first, a team like Real Madrid is too good at taking advantage of the situation! ”
The on-site narrator was right. Real Madrid are very good at taking advantage of the situation!
The so-called momentum is actually a very ethereal thing, but it can be reacted to by rhythm.
The winning side is often able to take the initiative and control the tempo, while the losing side has to deal with it passively.
After Real Madrid scored, Yang Cheng did not hesitate at all, asking all players to launch a round of attack on Manchester United, and Ferguson replaced Ryan Giggs with Park Ji-sung for the first time, and replaced Gary with O'Shea? Neville, further strengthen the stability at the back. He knows Yang Cheng too well, in his opinion, Yang Cheng is a very bastard guy, once he gains power, he will not be unforgiving, and he will not let go if he doesn't beat you down, so if you want to survive under Yang Cheng, you must have enough strength.
But with the momentum of the goal, Real Madrid's attack was very fierce, especially Klose, who had just come on the field, and Yang Cheng immediately replaced Villa with Mata after seeing that Villa's physical fitness was a little poor, strengthening the attack on the left side.
Juan Mata plays on the left and is tasked with breaking down the flanks and crossing, while Klose is looking for opportunities in the middle, the latter to divert the attention of the defence and create opportunities for Kaka and Ronaldo behind him.
In the 66th minute, Juan Mata broke through O'Shea on the left and shook O'Shea through two consecutive feints before sending in a low cross.
But the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Ferdinand for the first time, and Klose really didn't have much advantage in front of Ferdinand, so he could only watch the air bully destroy the ball and sigh at the ball.
But after the ball went out of the box, it was lost by Xavi? Alonso controlled, the latter was assigned to the right side for the first time, and De La Rede came up with a long-range shot, the kid was hard enough and strong enough, and the shot hit suddenly again.
Luckily, Van der Sar's technique and reflexes on the goal line were excellent, flying to knock the ball one-handed off the line and take a corner.
Harvey? Alonso's corner, Ramos at the back post, although defended by a number of United players, still broke free from the entanglement, jumped up like a green onion on dry land, and headed Xavi? Alonso's corner smashed into the United goal.
But Ramos' must-win header hit the crossbar above with a bang and bounced out of bounds!
The Spanish defender was so annoyed that he couldn't put his head in the grass and swayed his feet into the sky into a green onion, because he was too much of an angle just now, and if he pressed down a little, maybe this goal would have it!
One by one, the Real Madrid players walked up to comfort the guy who had missed the opportunity, and the latter, who also had a big nerve, quickly recovered, quickly stepped back, returned to his defensive area, and waited for Van der Sar to take the goal.
Both Yang Cheng and Alex Ferguson still have a substitution spot in their hands, and neither side looks like they have given up yet.
"Manchester United's current situation is very unfavorable, but Ferguson's idea should be to hope to get a goal away from home, so that even if Real Madrid scores again and falls behind 1-2, they still have a good chance to reverse the situation and eliminate Real Madrid when they return to Old Trafford."
Now that Real Madrid has scored, the situation has completely opened up, and it is very clear who is thinking and what is going to be. ..., Yang Cheng and Ferguson both hold a final substitution spot and are waiting.
But just as the time entered the 70th minute, Real Madrid put huge pressure on Manchester United's back line by attacking again and again, coupled with the consumption of physical energy, which made the nerves between the players tense with each other.
Ramos made a tackle, cut off the ball to Berbatov, and quickly passed to McConn, the Brazilian right-back quickly advanced to counterattack after winning the ball on the right, Real Madrid's midfield was also advancing rapidly, and Manchester United's defense was constantly retreating.
Patrice Evra followed closely behind Ronaldo, who had become the knife of Real Madrid's counter-attack, and McCone did pick the ball past the chasing Manchester United player for the first time, wanting to pass it to Ronaldo.
Evra and Xiao Luo chased up at the same time, the two were competing for speed, but just when Xiao Xiao Luo was about to overtake, Evra suddenly waved his hand, touched the half-high ball that passed by him, the ball turned in one direction, and then he turned around for the first time and pretended to stop the ball.
"Hey, he's handball!!" Little Luo raised his hands and pointed at Evra.
The referee caught up from behind, panting, although Real Madrid's counterattack just now was very fast, but he could clearly judge that it was indeed a handball, otherwise, the ball would not suddenly change direction.
So he blew the whistle as soon as possible, but did not give a heavy penalty, only showed a yellow card to Evra, and gave Real Madrid a direct free kick about 25 meters from the goal, very close to the middle.
There is no doubt that Xiao Xiaoluo stood on the penalty spot, and this distance is just right for him!
