Football: Copy the attributes of peak Messi at the beginning

The first half of the game ended quickly, the score on the field was 0:0, and neither side scored a goal.

Compared with the Champions League finals in previous years, the bloodiness of this game was obviously much lower.

However, the offensive strength of these two teams is very strong, and goals may occur at any time in the second half.

During the halftime break, the head coaches of both teams took the time to summarize and adjust their respective tactics.

The problem faced by Manchester City was the strong pressing faced by their opponents after they advanced into the opponent's half.

This greatly restricted Manchester City's offense and made it much more difficult for them to organize their offense.

The problem Real Madrid faces is that their formation is somewhat disjointed, and the connection between the forward line and the midfield is not tight. As a result, many instinctive opportunities were not seized, so that there were almost no threatening offenses in the first half.

In response to this problem, Zidane thought twice and decided to replace Bell in the second half.

After Bell went up, Real Madrid's formation became 433.

The person responsible for connecting the midfielder and the forward line has become Modric. With Modric's ability, he is fully qualified for such a job.

And after Bell came on, Real Madrid also had the speed to counterattack quickly on the wing.

At that time, you can hand the ball to Bell on the wing and let him try more to see if he can use his speed to tear apart Manchester City's defense.

Manchester City's overall formation is very forward, leaving a lot of space in the backcourt. Such a huge space is most suitable for players like Bell to play.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the two sides returned to the field again to prepare for the upcoming second half of the game.

In order to confuse Guardiola, Zidane did not make substitutions immediately.

Instead, they kept their formation unchanged and quietly hid their hand.

Guardiola glanced at Isco who was still on the court strangely. With his eyes, he could naturally tell that Isco's poor performance in the first half was obvious.

Zidane should have replaced him during the halftime break, but I don't know why Zidane didn't do that.

But this is not a bad thing for Manchester City. Isco's presence on the court will leave holes in Real Madrid's defense and provide them with opportunities to attack.

In the 55th minute, Manchester City successfully counterattacked in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack on the spot.

De Bruyne's through ball penetrated Real Madrid's defense. Aguero led the ball into the penalty area and calmly scored the ball against Courtois.

The score became 1:0, and Manchester City scored first.

Akun was very excited and was ready to take off his jersey to celebrate while running.

But when he thought that he would get a yellow card for doing so, he quickly calmed down and took advantage of the situation to do a passionate kneel down to celebrate the goal.

His teammates rushed up from behind and followed him to slide and kneel passionately.

After Guardiola saw Aguero score, he jumped up excitedly and hugged the members of the coaching staff in celebration.

On the sidelines, Zidane was about to ask Bale to get up to warm up. In the blink of an eye, he saw that the team had lost the ball. He was so angry that he wanted to crush his thighs.

If Isco had been replaced earlier, wouldn't this problem have been resolved?

Why not replace Isco?

Zidane really wants to find a regret pill to take now, but unfortunately, there is no regret pill in this world.

It's not too late to make up for the lost situation.

After Bell finished his warm-up, Zidane did not hesitate anymore and decisively replaced Bell on the field.

After Bell came on the field, Real Madrid's offensive threat greatly increased.

In the 59th minute, Real Madrid launched an attack on the right side.

Bell used his speed to run all the way, dribbled the ball down, glanced at the penalty area, and then sent a good quality cross.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was surrounded in the penalty area, jumped up high to meet the ball, and pushed the ball towards Manchester City's goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo's header ability is really incredible. This ball is impeccable in terms of angle and power.

But Ronaldo's luck didn't seem to be very good. The football hit the crossbar with a bang and bounced off the baseline.

There was a sigh from the scene, and Ronaldo was holding his head in annoyance with a look of regret on his face.

He felt better after hitting the ball, but who knew it was rejected by the goal frame.

Bell glanced at Ronaldo and said nothing.

But he was already eager to try it. If there was a chance next time, Bell planned to do it himself.

The pace of this game was fast. Real Madrid's front-foot attack had just created a danger for Manchester City's goal. The next second, the camera turned and Manchester City quickly launched a quick and concise counterattack after taking the goal kick.

Manchester City bypassed Real Madrid's waiting center and hit from Bell's side.

Lin Quan dribbled the ball forward. After encountering Nacho's interception, he passed the ball to Laporte on the edge.

The latter went down and made an inverted triangle pass. Lin Quan, who was near the penalty area line, met the ball and shot an extremely high-quality long-range shot.

But this time, Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois made the difference.

He jumped high and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand, helping the team resolve a dangerous situation.

This save was very morale-boosting, and several teammates came up to high-five Courtois.

Courtois himself is also very proud. Being able to save Lin Quan's shot is enough for him to brag for a long time.

Lin Quan was not affected in any way. He discussed it with De Bruyne and finally decided that De Bruyne would take the corner kick.

De Bruyne lobbed the ball to the back point, and Van Dijk fought for the landing point, but his header was deflected and failed to pose a threat.

After entering the second half, the offensive rhythm of both sides accelerated.

Both teams tacitly avoided the heavily guarded center and chose to look for opportunities from the wings on both sides.

Crossing from the wing is the main offensive method of both sides at this time.

At this time, the competition is whose full-back has a stronger crossing ability and whose player has a stronger header ability.

Players like Aguero, who are short and difficult to compete for the top, gradually began to become invisible.

Guardiola captured this keenly, and he ordered Haaland's life without hesitation.

"Erling, do you want to play in the Champions League final?"

When Harland heard Guardiola's words, his whole body jumped up as if a spring was pressed under his butt.

"Think about it, coach, I want to play!"

This is the Champions League final. Who doesn’t want to make a name for himself and steal the show in such an arena?

Although Harland is very young, he is not stupid. If such an opportunity can be grasped, it will be of huge benefit to his future career development.

After all, how many players in history have been able to play in the Champions League final at the age of seventeen?

"Then go warm up!"

Guardiola is very satisfied with Harland's attitude. The young man is motivated, energetic and eager to make a name for himself, which is a good thing.

If they're as sluggish as the old guys on the team, they're doomed.

Although Harland is eager to play immediately, he knows very well that he must not be anxious at this time.

If you don't fully complete the warm-up and start your physical activity, it will be really self-defeating if you accidentally get injured when you go on the court later.

Five minutes later, Haaland completed his warm-up.

Guardiola brought him on as promised and replaced Aguero.

Aguero looked unhappy when he came off the field. He felt that his performance was not bad and even scored the only goal so far.

Why doesn't the head coach want to replace him instead of continuing to believe in himself?

It is normal for Aguero to have such emotions. After all, anyone who plays well on the field will definitely be dissatisfied if he is suddenly replaced.

If it were normal times, Guardiola might have patiently explained to the other party why he did this.

But today, he did not have this leisurely elegance, because he needed to pay close attention to the situation on the court and make corresponding adjustments in time according to the trend of the game.

In football, one of the most important indicators to evaluate whether a coach is a famous coach is his on-the-spot command ability.

In this regard, Ferguson, Ancelotti and Mourinho are all outstanding.

Arsenal's former head coach Arsene Wenger's score was not high. The most criticized point of the professor was his lack of decisive on-the-spot command.

Guardiola's score in this aspect is actually not high, which is why he often overturned in the Champions League in his original time and space.

Seeing that the opponent sent a young forward who was not yet 18 years old, Real Madrid looked at each other a little bit.

Who is this person?

What are Manchester City doing?

Aguero played well, why was he suddenly replaced?

Real Madrid fans don’t know Haaland, but Liverpool fans who watched the game said they were heartbroken. It hurt so much!

This kid scored two goals for Liverpool. Liverpool fans may never forget him for the rest of their lives!

Zidane has obviously studied Haaland, even though he is not very old.

His abilities in all aspects are not particularly strong, and there is still a big gap between him and the top stars.

But Haaland is one of the few high center forwards on Manchester City's front line, and this kid has a strong header ability.

Guardiola put him on the field at this time. The purpose is self-evident, which is to compete for the top in the penalty area.

Thinking of this, Zidane quickly shouted to the players on the field, asking them to be careful of Haaland and not to be fooled by his appearance.

After receiving instructions from the head coach, Ramos personally took charge of closely marking Haaland.

Shuiye has a lot of defensive experience and is in good shape in this game. He has enough confidence to be able to defend Haaland alone.

However, when the two sides began to engage in physical confrontation in the penalty area, Ramos quickly discovered something unusual.

Huh?

what happened?

How come this guy is as hard as a rock and can't hold it up at all?

Just when Shui Ye was shocked, Haaland pushed him away, took two steps back to the side, jumped back, rubbed his head against the flying ball, and headed the ball towards the goal.

This ball was played very smartly. Haaland saw the opponent's goalkeeper's position close to the near corner beforehand, so he deliberately did not take off to fight for the top. Instead, he retreated and headed the ball to the far corner.

Haaland had a good idea, but he underestimated Courtois's moving speed and wingspan.

After Courtois sensed Haaland's intention, he quickly moved laterally, opened his hands at the same time, and blocked the ball narrowly.

Everyone in Haaland is dumbfounded. Can this ball be saved?

How is this possible?

Is the opponent's goalkeeper a superman?

Lin Quan was not far behind Harland and watched the entire process of Harland's shot from close range.

Seeing Harland's shocked and confused look, Lin Quan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder:

"Silly boy, hit the ball hard on the ground next time. The rebound will be the hardest for the goalkeeper to predict and save!"

Harland nodded repeatedly, learned it, learned it again!

Thinking about it carefully, the angle of the shot he just shot was indeed good, but the ball speed was too slow, giving the goalkeeper enough time to react.

This is still Courtois. If it were replaced by goalkeepers like Casillas and Oblak who react faster, I am afraid they would be beaten even more miserably.

Just as De Bruyne was gearing up to put into practice what he learned from Lin Quan.

Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack on the left wing. Marcelo dribbled the ball down and sent a cross near the corner of the penalty area.

When he completed the pass, there were as many as four Manchester City defensive players in the penalty area, while only Ronaldo and Bell entered the penalty area on Real Madrid's side.

4 against 2, Manchester City's players were well positioned, and the ball should have been blocked.

But after seeing the opponent's position, Bell decisively gave up the option of regular shooting.

Instead, here comes an extremely difficult upside down golden hook!

Players on both sides of the penalty area, fans in the stands and in front of the TV.

After seeing Bell's exaggerated take-off height and graceful upside-down golden hook, everyone's eyes widened.

The ball drew a wonderful arc and went directly into the net from the blind corner on the right!

1-1, Real Madrid equalized the score!

After Bell scored this earth-shattering goal, the scene fell into dead silence.

Countless fans were shocked and speechless!

Not to mention them, even Zidane, who had once performed as a flying fairy, opened his mouth in surprise after seeing Bale's shot. He could almost stuff an egg into it.

Is this ball really possible for humans to do?

Is this guy an alien?

Bell's goal was very morale-boosting, because he not only helped Real Madrid equalize the score, but also greatly damaged the opponent's momentum.

Bell himself didn't seem to expect that the goal could be scored, and it was scored so beautifully.

After he fell to the ground, he saw the football flying into the net. He jumped up from the ground excitedly, spread his arms, and ran along the field like a glider.

The other Real Madrid players were like wingmen, following behind him and running wildly together.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not run with his teammates. He glanced at the ball that was still rolling in the penalty area, and then at the complacent Bell. He shook his head slightly, then turned and walked towards the center circle, waiting for the kick-off.

Bell scored a goal just a few minutes after he came on the field. However, he played for sixty or seventy minutes and still failed to score. This made Ronaldo very depressed.

This is his last game in Real Madrid, and he wants to bring a perfect end to his nine-year Real Madrid career.

So he is very eager to score a goal, but unfortunately, until now, he has not had any good opportunities.

Sometimes, the more you want to score, the less likely you are to score. (End of chapter)
