439. Final 3
According to Ancelotti's idea, he is not afraid of Manchester City's way of playing football. Real Madrid will never play buses. Their defensive posture is always enthusiasm, but the team can retreat to the front line of the organization of the front line of the half, which can also limit Manchester City's transmission space.
However, on the court, Ronaldo was not convinced that his team could not compete for possession. In his opinion, there was only one reason, that is, his teammates were not under pressure thoroughly enough. Benzema, Bale, him, Di Maria and Modric in the midfield were not as slow as that. He had the conditions to move the team's defensive position forward, so he kept signaling his teammates to put pressure forward and put enough pressure on Manchester City's players in the backcourt.
There is no need to doubt Ronaldo's passion for fighting, but this time period is actually inappropriate.
Real Madrid soon paid the price for their position. In the 18th minute, after Real Madrid's frontcourt offense was cut off, he adopted a high-pressure position, intending to block Manchester City's backcourt transmission, but Van Dijk had a very good long pass skill, and soon he found a gap on the wing.
Thanks to Hills' courage, he gave up Bale and chose to move forward. Van Dijk understood and passed the ball over. Then Hills got the ball and Manchester City quickly formed a counterattack opportunity. With the support of Silva and Costa, Hills tear open the defense line of Real Madrid like a sharp knife and sent out a cross. Dzeko rushed to the front and rushed to the front corner.
Casillas's choice was good, but Dzeko's shot was a little confused. In a hurry, Casillas failed to save his own goal.
"YES!" Wen Sheng raised his arms and shouted, Manchester City fans were in a state of madness, and counterattack was a method that Manchester City often used. This time, it was carried out neatly.
Ancelotti chewed the gum quickly, feeling a hint of anger in her heart.
Opponents of Manchester City need to be careful. The problem just now is not that Real Madrid's defense line is like paper. The most fundamental problem is that Bale's defense loses its position, and Carvajal moves forward and makes up for it too late.
The team has no problem using high-level pressing, but the focus of grabbing is actually to block the opponent's pass route, the wing transfer route, and the middle transfer route all need to be blocked, forcing the opponent's central defender to make a big foot. Bale's pressing just now was just grabbing, ignoring the tacit understanding between Van Dijk and Hills, ignoring Hills' forward movement, giving Van Dijk the opportunity to transfer a long pass to the wing gap.
Carvajal formed hesitation between Costa and Hills. If he robbed the game at the first time, he might have a foul to solve the opponent's offensive problem, but he was late, then made a mistake in one step, followed by mistake. Manchester City quickly formed a local advantage on the left, and Hills finally completed the cross.
Real Madrid made a more serious mistake than this before, but Real Madrid's defense has withstood the test, but not every time you are so lucky.
Speaking of which, this matter has nothing to do with Ronaldo. If he hadn't advocated a strong pressing after losing the ball, Bale wouldn't have been so impulsive, running too fast and pushing too fiercely.
Of course, Manchester City scored a goal, and most of the credits were attributed to Manchester City players. Hills' firmness moved forward and Van Dijk's grasp of the timing are textbook-like and worth learning.
"Beautiful job!" Ian Wright shouted in the live broadcast room excitedly.
"Hills is as fast as a lightning bolt!" Lyinkel shouted.
"This is also why Cole chose to withdraw from the national team!" Ian Wright felt a little proud.
Hills is a serious youth training producer at Crystal Palace and his family is also from Croydon? In fact, this season when coming to Manchester City, Hills has not had too many assists, not as good as at Crystal Palace. However, Wensheng is still very satisfied. He can not only defend but also help attack at the right time? Put pressure on his opponents.
Costa ahead of Hills is not the kind of explosion-type winger who is keen on cooperation. He often does it and does it. When Hills often does it, he only helps him support him, and the crossing is reduced a lot.
Wen Sheng will fine-tune the lineup again next season, which will give full play to Hills' role and energy.
Not long ago, the English national team roster was announced. Ashley Cole was out of the election, and Hills became a strong contender for the main left-back. Of course, Everton's Barnes is also good. Now it seems that Hills is definitely in the lead.
"Real Madrid has raised the defensive line too high, which is always a bit risky! Especially when we can see that Manchester City are in better and better shape now, the frequent pass mistakes at the beginning no longer appear!" Leinker commented.
"Well, Manchester City's control is quite strong in terms of game style. Maybe Real Madrid should be more patient!" Ian felt that Real Madrid was playing too impatient.
Wen Sheng on the sidelines also realized a problem at this time, and Real Madrid was indeed very impatient in defensive strategy.
"Urgent, keep on worrying! You will have to leave a loophole for us sooner or later!" The game started again, and Wen Sheng couldn't help but be full of expectations. He also found that Real Madrid was not a god, and these players were actually nervous and afraid.
"The legendary pretentiousness?!" Wen Sheng evaluated Real Madrid's high-level defense as.
Ancelotti and Zidane on the sidelines were reminding the team to calm down and let Manchester City score the first goal. This is definitely a bad scene. Manchester City is famous for being good at fighting, but the most important thing for Real Madrid now is to stabilize their mentality. The balls they just lost just now are caused by inconsistent thinking.
Ancelotti and Zidane's words were still very effective. Ronaldo and other players also realized that the time when they lost the ball, everyone's ideas might not be consistent. They gave up the ball, defended for a while, and became stable. Real Madrid reunified their minds and began to siege Manchester City's control.
Manchester City naturally needs to reduce unnecessary loss of balls after one goal. Real Madrid is not just pushing forward. When it is time to recover, the speed of returning to defense is still very fast.
Ancelotti's magic power is shown, and Real Madrid's defensive rhythm is fast and slow. It has to be said that with their unremitting running, they have indeed gained some opportunities to take advantage of.
"Manchester City should change its pace. Although their possession rate has the upper hand, it cannot completely curb Real Madrid's attack. If this continues, it will sooner or later concede the ball!" Ian Wright was very satisfied with Manchester City's tactics.
There are not many commentators who are satisfied with Manchester City's tactics. They are too cautious and are reluctant to give up the ball and firmly defend, and are reluctant to take risks on offense, giving people the impression of being a scheming man.
Looking at Real Madrid, the ball possession rate is not much, but it is still very threatening to come from time to time. There are almost breaking through Manchester City's goal one or two times.
Chapter completed!
