Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 401 Ace vs. Ace

The head coach Mourinho stood on the sidelines and gave orders. Cristiano Ronaldo had a little emotion in his heart. He thought that if the score fell behind, the established game tactics before the game should be changed and the pace of the game should be accelerated.

But then again, you still have to listen to what the head coach says. After all, there is an unwritten rule in world football—the coach has absolute authority.

It is one thing to have conflicts in private, and another to go against the tactical wishes of the head coach.

Besides, the rhythm of the whole team is placed at one point, and his sudden speed increase will cause the whole team to accelerate passively.

Mourinho can see at a glance that there is no big problem, and it is understandable once and a half times, but if Dortmund seizes the opportunity to play a quick counterattack, it will be a real disaster.

This season's Champions League group stage has suffered this kind of loss in two confrontations, and the memory is still fresh.

In this case, the game rhythm of the two sides returned to the draw stage strangely, as if the score was still 0:0.

The New Wembley Stadium is full of fanatical atmosphere, 30,000 Dortmund fans and nearly 10,000 Chinese fans fully release themselves and contribute to the Champions League final.

Those neutral fans looked a little depressed. They finally waited until Dortmund broke the deadlock. They thought that Real Madrid would catch up and increase their offensive strength, and then the two sides staged a confrontational battle.

As a result... it was just the opposite. The two teams kept testing each other like martial arts masters, waiting for the moment when the opponent showed their flaws before giving a fatal blow!

British Sky commentator Andy Gray turned to his partner Martin Taylor and said: "Real Madrid are really calm. They didn't choose to step up their offensive. It's rare."

"Hey." Martin Taylor shook his head first, and then said meaningfully: "It's not like you don't know who the head coach of Real Madrid is, Jose Mourinho, the bus driver, it's normal not to rush to attack."

faintly,

It's not hard to hear his distaste for Mourinho's tactics.

The lagging Real Madrid chose to stabilize their position, and the leading Dortmund had no reason to take the initiative to speed up.

According to the gesture given by the head coach Klopp on the sidelines, it is to remain unchanged and respond to all changes, and try to make the score of 1:0 enter the intermission.

Leading does not mean winning. After all, the game is a 90-minute battle, and the winner is the winner when the score is ahead at the moment the final whistle blows.

Now?

It's still too early.

After the game restarted, it entered a relatively stable stage. Neither side wanted to invest too much troops to avoid being attacked by the other side.

The two sides were attacking and defending each other, and it was forty minutes in the blink of an eye, that is to say, there were still five minutes left in the first half, and it was only six minutes at most when counting injury time.

At this time, the on-site director suddenly switched the camera and showed it to Mourinho. He made a subtle gesture to Harvey Alonso, and the latter nodded slightly after seeing it, an obvious communication.

Mourinho returned to the coach's bench after explaining, and then sat down.

Central 5 commentator He Wei asked suspiciously: "Is this because Real Madrid are going to change their tactics?"

"Real Madrid's score is behind, and it's normal to change tactics." Guest commentator Zhang Lu went on to say: "If the first half ends with the current score, it will obviously be very unfavorable to Real Madrid, so I think Mourinho is eager for his team to win in the first half." Evening the score before the end of the game, after all, the mood of entering the locker room 0:1 and 1:1 is completely different."

He Wei nodded lightly, expressing his agreement with Zhang Lu's statement.

The tone of the commentator of the Spanish National TV has improved, and he said excitedly: "I dare not say that Real Madrid will definitely increase their offensive, but I believe that the tactical play must have changed. Let us wait and see! Witnessed Real Madrid before the end of the first half. Equalizer!"

Tang Zheng has a wide vision. In a sense, he and Harvey Alonso are facing each other, so when Harvey Alonso looked at the coach's bench, he was wary, but he didn't know that Mourinho What does the gesture communication with Harvey Alonso represent, and we can only continue to respond to changes with the same.

Immediately, Harvey Alonso pulled Khedira and Ozil to say a few more words.

As for what was said, no one except the parties involved knew.

※※※

Another minute of the game passed, Tang Zheng was always on guard against Real Madrid players Xavi Alonso and Ozil.

As for why Khedira was ignored, it was because of an intuition.

Khedira has a strong ability to participate in the attack, but he does not have this role in Real Madrid's tactical system. The existence of Harvey Alonso and Ozil seriously restricts his room for movement. That is to say, Khedira In this game, you are destined to be a blue-collar worker who does dirty work.

Dortmund patiently organized the attack, from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left, Tang Zheng and Gundogan constantly dispatched Real Madrid's defensive players to run back and forth through precise long passes.

In many cases, I have to say that the tactical awareness of Real Madrid players is very good. They seem to be running around, but in fact they are not chaotic.

Whether it was Tang Zheng, Gundogan, or Gotze, they couldn't find a suitable opportunity to pass the ball.

Lewandowski, who finally ran to the empty position to receive the football, took a long shot directly from the right side of the penalty area.

Lewandowski's shot power is sufficient, but the angle is lacking, and the football is firmly hugged by Casillas, who is in a good position.

Casillas threw the ball at the first time and tried to launch a counterattack, but Dortmund did a good job in high pressure. Ramos did not dare to dribble, and quickly kicked goalkeeper Casillas.

In desperation, Casillas could only choose to drive forward.

This time the placement is very good, which is more conducive to Benzema's competition.

In terms of headers, Hummels naturally has a natural advantage, but Benzema is very smart, he got stuck first.

Hummels has no choice but to choose to start. Put your elbow on Benzema's shoulder to keep him from jumping.

The referee Rizzoli saw very accurately and decisively blew his whistle to signal that Hummels had a pressing action in the top fight.

Hummels shrugged his shoulders, looked helpless, and wanted to say a few words to the referee Rizzoli.

At the same time, Tang Zheng who was in the process of retreating suddenly shouted: "Suppress the football!"

However, as soon as the words fell, Benzema swept the ball to Ozil, who was in the middle circle of his side, before he got up completely.

"damn it!"

Tang Zheng cursed inwardly, he immediately sprinted towards Ozil who was catching the ball, but sprinted towards the right side of his defense.

He has a very strong intuition that Ozil will definitely find Ronaldo immediately, just like he did in the Champions League group stage this season.

Gundogan is very close to Ozil, but Benzema's pass to the ground is consciously looking for Ozil, which means that the pass must be beneficial for Ozil to receive the ball and even handle the ball in the next step.

Therefore, Gundogan's role is limited.

The same is true for Tang Zheng, so instead of rushing towards Ozil, he ran towards Real Madrid's most threatening player, Cristiano Ronaldo!

※※※

"Take a free kick!"

The tone of the commentator on Spanish national television was full of excitement.

Facing the menacing national teammate Gundogan, Özil's upper body obviously swayed forward to the right.

Gundogan subconsciously thought that Ozil was going to stop and dribble forward, so he wanted to block Ozil's forward route in advance.

But Özil's shaking of his upper body was a fake move. When Gundogan made a move, Özil suddenly stopped the ball with the outside of his left foot, and then the whole person slammed on the brakes.

Taking advantage of the gap time when Gundogan followed the brakes on the spot, Ozil took a step forward with his right foot and swung his left foot.

While Tang Zheng rushed towards Cristiano Ronaldo, he still didn't forget to turn his head to observe the situation. This time he turned his head and saw a high-quality long pass from Ozil.

The football flew from the middle of Real Madrid's half-circle to Dortmund's defensive right flank, which is the space between Piszczek and central defender Hummels.

Piszczek has not returned to position yet, Cristiano Ronaldo's run is in the direction where Piszczek should be.

"It's so fast!"

Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV in the UK, shouted.

Cristiano Ronaldo was very fast, and he was in the attacking forty-meter zone in a blink of an eye.

Hummels, who returned to the defense at a high speed, did not dare to recklessly defend forward. He chose to stay on the route of Cristiano Ronaldo's cut in, waiting for his teammates to support.

To be precise, wait for Tang Zheng's support.

In the process of his retreating, from the corner of the eye he saw Tang Zheng returning to the defense at full speed.

After all, Gundogan and Piszczek were out of position, and Subotic had to defend Benzema again. The only object of assistance he was looking forward to was captain Tang Zheng.

Klopp was very anxious until Tang Zheng, who was wearing the No. 10 jersey, appeared in his line of sight.

For some reason, he felt inexplicably relieved.

The sound erupting from the Dortmund area fades away and the Real Madrid area begins to come alive, creating a deafening roar of cheers for Cristiano Ronaldo: "Oooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Not long after, Cristiano Ronaldo extended his left foot and stopped the ball one meter in front of him while running. At the same time, he lowered his speed, and his left and right feet took turns swaying a shot above the football.

That's right, this is one of Cristiano Ronaldo's favorite ways of dribbling - cycling!

Hummels knew very well that there was a lot of space behind him, and it was obviously unrealistic to go straight forward, and he had to create space for Tang Zheng to chase back, so he chose the usual one-on-one defensive method of fighting and retreating.

Cristiano Ronaldo can become one of the two best players in world football at present, and his golf quotient is naturally very high. He knows that Hummels is consciously delaying time and waiting for support, so what he has to do now is not to give Hummels has no room for thought.

Since you don't step forward to defend, then I will take the initiative to narrow the distance and force you to make a choice.

I saw that Cristiano Ronaldo had just feinted a shot from above the football with his left foot, and the instep of his right foot slammed the football to the right.

Cut inside! !

When Hummels realized that Cristiano Ronaldo was going inside, he turned around quickly, trying to use his height and long legs to complete the interception.

But he is tall and has long legs and has a large turning radius, so it is very difficult to turn around.

Besides, Cristiano Ronaldo didn't really want to cut inside, but...

Use the arch of your right foot to snap the ball toward the baseline!

Hummels' second reaction was not so unpleasant. He kicked his left foot to the ground during the retreat, and the huge reaction force allowed him to complete an emergency stop on the spot.

However... in his golden age, Cristiano Ronaldo's explosive power and speed were at their peak. By the time Hummels turned to the baseline, he was already half a body behind.

Fortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo's sense of the ball has slightly declined due to muscle training, and the direction of the spike is a bit different from his imagination, and it is closer to the outside.

Despite this, the Spanish national TV commentator was very excited: "This is an opportunity! An absolute opportunity! Cristiano Ronaldo!!"

The hot atmosphere at the new Wembley Stadium was full, while the Real Madrid fans at the far end made huge cheers and Dortmund fans made deafening boos, hoping to influence Cristiano Ronaldo who dribbled the ball all the way.

In a blink of an eye, Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at the corner of the left penalty area. Facing Hummels, who was chasing hard, he suddenly knocked the ball to the right with the heel of his left foot.

Hummels has long been wary of Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic dribble.

But there is a problem that cannot be ignored, the radius problem caused by Hummels' height and long legs subconsciously stopping and turning around.

Besides, people have inertia, and defensive players are passive, so it takes longer to stop and turn around suddenly.

And Cristiano Ronaldo's natal skill is already practice makes perfect. I saw him swiping the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, widening the defensive distance from Hummels, and then looked up at goalkeeper Weidenfeller position, and then swung his right foot.

"Aww-"

At the same time, deafening loud cheers suddenly sounded from behind the goal.

Suddenly, Cristiano Ronaldo felt that his brain was not enough.

How to shoot yourself, Dortmund fans will cheer?

What?

Are you scared?

No way!

In the blink of an eye, Cristiano Ronaldo saw a long leg flashing from behind on the right side with extra light.

This……

Cristiano Ronaldo swung his right foot like a rounded bowstring, and he had to send it!

His right foot hit the middle and lower part of the football hard with the instep, trying to finish the shot before 'that foot' came.

The next moment, Cristiano Ronaldo, who finished the shot, heard a 'snap', and he saw the football he shot hit the inside of the facing bone of 'that leg', and then changed the line of defense and came out with a high parabola. bottom line.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was bound to win, turned his head angrily, and met Tang Zheng who had completed world-class defense.

Waves of cheers erupted from the new Wembley Stadium, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo's eye contact was successfully captured by the keen on-site director.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said hysterically: "What is a world-class duel? This is it! Real Madrid used their best quick counterattack to pass the ball to Ronaldo. He has done well enough to face Hummels, but …Tang Zheng, Dortmund’s pinnacle of the sea, appeared at the most critical place, and his sliding shovel on the ground resolved Ronaldo’s solo pass that he was determined to win this time…”

German sky commentator Marcel Leif only said a short sentence: "Ace vs. Ace, it's wonderful!"
