Super Marshal

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City followed Gao Han's instructions before the game and focused the ball control area on the midline and inside their own half, and Real Madrid's frontcourt players also actively pressed forward.

Only one minute into the game, Xabi Alonso took the ball and passed it diagonally to the right. Sanchez retreated to the midline to get the ball. After using his speed to force past Moutinho, he tried to break through Corallo again along the right. husband, but was knocked to the ground by Kolarov, the ball was taken away, and the referee Stark did not blow the whistle for a foul.

Sanchez got up from the ground, looking a little angry, but quickly got back into the game.

Manchester City quickly reorganized an attack. Javi Martinez passed a half-high ball to Modric. The Croatian midfielder stopped the ball and dunked Sneijder before leading it to the center and trying to pass it to the frontcourt. , Real Madrid has organized two lines of defense in its own half, and Modric's pass was cleared by Real Madrid.

But Manchester City soon tried again on the right. After receiving the transfer from Xabi Alonso, Sanchez took the ball on the right side, but Kolarov and Moutinho came to double-team at the same time. Chile The winger failed to form a breakthrough and was forced to pass the ball back along the right sideline to the back line to Mascherano.

Continuous attempts failed to penetrate the 30-meter area of ​​Real Madrid. Manchester City finally took the first shot of the game in the fourth minute, a long shot from Modric, which was a full 30 meters away from the goal. Outside, he was easily picked up by goalkeeper Casillas.

But soon, Manchester City made a comeback again and continued to organize an offensive towards Real Madrid's defense.

Although Blue Moon is playing away from home, whether it is the smoothness of passing and receiving cooperation or the tacit understanding of players' movements and coordination, they are obviously better than Real Madrid. Therefore, the ball is always under the control of Manchester City, and the ball is always under the control of Manchester City. There are some wonderful collaborations from time to time.

In the 11th minute, Modric made a wide movement and passed the ball from the right to the feet of David Silva. After getting rid of Las Diarra's defense, the Spanish midfielder suddenly dribbled the ball forward and scored. The ball was delivered to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese cut in at high speed from the left, passed Arbeloa and Felipe Melo in succession, and then kicked the goal.

But the shot missed the right post slightly and failed to create a threat.

But two minutes later, Manchester City once again launched a wave of attacks. This time, Modric, Sanchez, Kaká and David Silva relied on skillful passing and receiving cooperation in Real Madrid's defensive formation, as well as mutual understanding. With tacit understanding and continuous passes, the ball shuttled through Real Madrid's defense like a thread.

But in the end, David Silva's pass from the left side of the penalty area was a bit too strong. When Cristiano Ronaldo crossed the penalty area diagonally for offside, he was unable to catch up in time, causing the ball to be confiscated by Casillas. .

But this time Manchester City cooperated like a smooth flow. Even the fans at the Bernabeu Stadium were amazed. There was even a lot of applause, obviously amazed by the performance of the Blue Moon players.

This is no longer the Premier League team they had in mind.

At the very least, under Gao Han's training, Manchester City played more like a Spanish team than Real Madrid.

Perhaps angry after Manchester City's fancy coordination, Real Madrid quickly launched a counterattack. Ozil passed the ball diagonally, and Diego Costa's long shot was easily collected by Cech. This is Real Madrid's game. The first attack of the game.

…………

Time finally skipped twenty minutes.

In fact, the roughness that Gao Han was afraid of before the game did not appear.

Real Madrid's performance at their home court is relatively restrained. Although the playing style is still relatively dirty, it is within the acceptable range. Moreover, the fouls are more concentrated on the periphery. Obviously Mourinho is also very afraid of Manchester City's set kicks.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo's falling ball, the scoring efficiency is very high.

The pace of the game was very fast. Although it was intermittent, there were many wonderful moments. If Sergio Garcia hadn't sent a piece of data every ten minutes, Gao Han would have lost track of time.

The ball possession rate is 81%, and the passing success rate is 96%.

This is the data from the first twenty minutes. Manchester City firmly controlled the situation on the field. Real Madrid had very little possession time and only had one shot. Manchester City had four. This ratio is similar to the ball possession rate. Very consistent.

"Mourinho's defensive formation is very tight. As long as our players get the ball in the frontcourt, two players will often double-team them at the same time. This greatly affects our offense." Sergi O. Garcia analyzed.

Gao Han nodded. Mourinho's starting tactics allowed the formation to press forward and press in the midfield and frontcourt. It looked brave and proactive, but in fact, the tactics he adopted were more conservative than when he played against Barcelona.

"The three defensive midfielders basically stay in front of the defense. Sneijder mostly drops back to catch the ball. Ozil and Diego Costa who are roaming in the frontcourt are also actively engaged in pressing and pressing, so he basically All the troops that could be mobilized were put in."

From the scene, it is difficult to see the disparity in time of possession between the two teams because the game is very fast-paced.

But if analyzed based on the data, Real Madrid basically didn't think much about attacking, or it should be said that without enough assurance, Mourinho did not allow players to participate in counterattacks, especially the three midfielders.

Needless to say, the purpose of this is to ensure the stability of the defense.

Four defenders and three defensive midfielders formed a defensive formation with just these seven players. It was not easy for Manchester City to break through.

What's more, Mourinho's defensive tactics are very targeted. Modric and David Silva are both under close surveillance by the opponent, not to mention the front trident.

Gao Han had already been mentally prepared for this, so he focused on Sanchez's side after the start, hoping to use the wings to break through the opponent's defense, use the width to open up Real Madrid's formation, and then create opportunities for the players.

"What do we do now?" Brian Kidd asked concerned.

"Cold salad." Gao Han shook his head, "The opponent has to defend tightly, but we have nothing to do. We can only wait patiently for the opportunity. Even if Mourinho's team will not make mistakes, are they all tough? Will you be tired?"

Breaking through dense defense is an inevitable problem that all strong teams will encounter.

Relatively speaking, Manchester City is already very good, but facing a defensive master like Mourinho and the iron barrel formation set up by Real Madrid's lineup, they are also helpless.

Real Madrid adopts this style of play with four defenders and three midfielders. It is impossible for Manchester City to penetrate the middle. If it is a long shot, it is too far from the goal. Casillas's goalkeeping ability is not vegetarian, and he also does not pose much of a threat. .

There are not many offensive methods that Manchester City can really use. The winger cuts inside and uses Cristiano Ronaldo's superior personal ability to tear apart Real Madrid's defense. This is one of them. Manchester City also tried it after the start, and it had a certain effect.

There is also the need to rely on the player's personal ability to form a breakthrough on the wing. Sanchez forced his way to the right to fulfill Gao Han's request. The effect after the opening was mixed, and we will have to look at the situation next.

Then the last one is to use the interplay of players to allow Benzema, who was originally at the front, to retreat more, participate in the offensive organization of the midfield and frontcourt, play a tactical fulcrum role, and at the same time attract Real Madrid's defensive players. Come out to create better opportunities for midfielders and backfield players, especially Kaká, to attack.

These are the three axes prepared by Gao Han before the game, and it's time to put them to use.

Therefore, Gao Han soon conveyed his intention to the court, asking Benzema to retreat more and the midfielders to advance more.

…………

…………

As soon as Gao Han's adjustments were conveyed to the court, Manchester City launched another offensive.

After Cristiano Ronaldo passed Arbeloa on the left, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, but when he kicked the goal, the ball hit Albiol and bounced out of the penalty area and was missed by Felipe. ·Mello made a rescue.

Three minutes later, after Benzema retreated to receive the ball, he kicked the pass with his heel. Kaka quickly stepped in, caught up with Benzema's pass and went directly to Real Madrid's defense. After passing the ball diagonally, Sanchez passed from the right side of the penalty area. He entered the penalty area from the side, but Kolarov and Bruno Alves double-teamed Sanchez at the same time. The Chilean winger kicked the ball on Bruno Alves and rolled out of the baseline, but the referee whistled for a penalty. Handball from Sanchez.

This is also a very clear decision.

In the 30th minute, Kaka started in the middle, Felipe Melo fouled, and Cristiano Ronaldo took the free kick, which was slightly higher than the goal.

Manchester City did not feel discouraged after continuous attacks failed, and still patiently controlled the ball and rhythm, constantly organizing and planning the offensive against Real Madrid's goal.

In the 33rd minute, Benzema and Kaká cooperated in a one-two. The Brazilian attacking midfielder passed behind him. Cristiano Ronaldo forced his way into the penalty area and kicked the goal. However, under the interference of Albiol, the shot was blocked. Silas sealed.

But soon, Real Madrid launched a counterattack and broke into the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester City. Javi Martinez fouled Diego Costa when fighting for the ball. Real Madrid issued a free kick and Kompany headed the ball. After a clearance, Manchester City launched a counterattack and passed a long pass to the left. Cristiano Ronaldo was pulled to the ground by Arbeloa.

This time, the referee Stark showed no mercy and showed the first yellow card of the game.

However, soon, during a counterattack, Kompany fouled Ozil and also received a yellow card.

The referee's law enforcement, which each played 50 big shots, made it impossible for Mourinho and Gao Han on the sidelines to find fault.

As the game progressed, both teams gradually showed signs of fatigue, especially Real Madrid.

After losing the ball for a long time after the opening, they blindly defended passively. Under the strong offensive pressure of Manchester City, the physical energy of the Galaxy Battleship players was very high, and the defensive formation could no longer be as compact and orderly as it was at the opening. There were even many things that could have been avoided. Mistakes also began to appear one after another.

In the 39th minute, Manchester City moved the ball to the right. Sanchez received the ball under the double-team of Moutinho and Sneijder, and behind him was left back Kolarov to prevent him from rushing to the baseline.

After receiving the ball, the Chilean winger chose to lead it to the center. Moutinho and Sneijder flanked each other at the same time. The ball had already been broken by Sanchez. Even the Chilean winger staggered and almost fell, but the ball But it didn't fly far. Sanchez immediately chose to catch up and passed the ball across the middle.

Modric quickly rushed forward after receiving the ball. When he was close to the edge of the opponent's penalty area, before Felipe Melo came to defend, the Croatian midfielder spotted the opportunity and sent the ball into the penalty area with a through ball.

Real Madrid's centre-back was attracted by the retreating Benzema, and Kaká took the opportunity to cross behind Felipe Melo and catch up with Modric's pass in the penalty area.

Stop the ball...adjust...kick and hit the goal! ! !

Kaka's entire movement can be described as smooth and smooth, done in one go, looking extremely chic and calm.

The ball was like a cannonball, sticking to the turf and heading straight for the goal!
