Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Mbappe's second goal gave Real Madrid some trouble.

Zidane did not wait any longer and made a decisive substitution adjustment, replacing Bale and replacing him with Kovacic.

This substitution was a bit too conservative, which frustrated Real Madrid fans.

If the substitution was made five minutes ago, they would still understand. After all, Real Madrid was in the lead at that time, and replacing offensive players with defensive players could be understood as seeking stability.

But now Real Madrid's lead is gone. Replacing defensive players at this time gives people the feeling that Real Madrid is timid, which has a huge impact on the team's morale.

In fact, to be honest, the effect of Zidane's substitution is still very good.

After Kovacic came on the field, the strength of Real Madrid's midfield was further enhanced, and his aggressive fighting and wide range of activities effectively reduced the pressure on Real Madrid's defense and helped Real Madrid withstand the pursuit of victory after Manchester City scored. attempt.

It's just that defense alone is not enough. Real Madrid also needs to score goals now. Only by scoring goals can they win.

At this time, Zidane should continue to make substitutions and replace him with Asensio.

But he hesitated, and Zidane thought again and again and decided to stay put.

There is not much regular time left in the game, and the two sides are likely to have to play overtime.

If it is delayed to overtime, it will be beneficial to Real Madrid, because the opponent's three substitutions have been used up, and Real Madrid still has two opportunities for substitutions.

This is a perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to make a surprise victory and win the game in one fell swoop. He doesn't want to expose his trump card so soon.

Zidane really made the right bet!
After Mbappe scored, although both sides tried to attack and kill their opponents.

However, neither team's defense made any mistakes and did not give their opponents such a chance.

As a result, the score of 3:3 remained until the end of the game.

The game enters overtime!

Before the start of overtime, the two teams only have 5 minutes of rest time.

For the starting players who have persisted for more than 90 minutes and played the entire game, just five minutes is not enough for them to recover their strength.

Because time was precious, neither side chose to return to the locker room. Instead, they sat on the sidelines and began discussing the tactical arrangements and arrangements for the overtime.

The team doctors and even substitutes and assistant coaches of both teams are racing against time to massage the players' leg muscles, help them relax their bodies, and reduce their accumulated fatigue as much as possible.

Although most people are exhausted, they cannot miss the last thirty minutes. Even if they cannot hold on, they must grit their teeth and persevere!

Especially for Manchester City, who have no substitutions, they have no retreat.

"Real Madrid still has useless substitutions. They are likely to use these two substitutions in overtime and bring in two offensive players to attack our defense. Therefore, we must first focus on defense and offense. The main thing is to fight back.”

Guardiola knows the team's current physical condition, and they can no longer continue the attrition and strangulation battle with Real Madrid as they did before.

The team's current passive situation is caused by a variety of reasons, and of course Guardiola's fault is not small.

His substitutions in the second half were too decisive, using up two substitutions in one breath, leaving no escape route for himself.

Originally, Manchester City planned to exert their strength in the second half, but unexpectedly, Real Madrid's two goals disrupted their plan and made Manchester City passive across the board. Not only did they fail to achieve the expected results, but they further intensified their physical consumption.

Guardiola was worried when he saw old players such as David Silva panting.

He is worried that these people will not be able to hold on, and he is also worried that injuries and other emergencies may occur in overtime.

Alas, it would be great if there were five substitution places. In that case, you could change as many times as you wanted. Why would there be any need to be so careful and calculating?
The five minutes ended quickly, the players from both sides returned to the field, and overtime officially began.

After the game started, Real Madrid played slowly and did not launch a large-scale attack on Manchester City as Guardiola expected.

This made Guardiola breathe a sigh of relief, but the uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Zidane still had a backhand to use, and Guardiola couldn't let go until his boots landed.

At this moment, in the Real Madrid coaching bench, Zidane was staring at the court intently, and from time to time he would shout loudly to the players on the court to remind them to pay attention to defense.

That's right, Zidane is still thinking about defense now!

Manchester City's physical strength is almost exhausted, of course he can see it.

But Manchester City's two wingers don't seem to have encountered physical bottlenecks, especially Sane, who came off the bench not long ago.

Although he did not have any outstanding performance after he came on the field, he was not as dazzling as Mbappe on the other side.

But since he can join a top team like Manchester City and gain Guardiola's attention, he must have something.

Therefore, he felt that Manchester City was very likely to fight to the death in the first half of overtime.

The opponent's forward players are still physically fit, but the players in the midfield and backfield are almost exhausted.

If they don't take advantage of this last chance to give it a try, when the players in the midfield can no longer run at all, the midfield loses control, and no one passes the ball to the forward players, then they will have no chance even if they want to give it a try.

Therefore, Zidane's tactic is to continue to fight Manchester City, consume their physical energy, and then wait until the second half to replace two offensive players in one go, break down Manchester City's defense and win the game!
Zidane's tactics were actually very reasonable, but the Real Madrid fans in the stands did not know this. Seeing that the team had not launched a general attack, and the game time passed little by little, they became more and more impatient.

"Attack!"

"What are you waiting for? Manchester City's players can't run anymore!"

"Kovacic, you fucking stop passing the ball behind you, pass the ball forward, you coward!"

Real Madrid fans at this time are far less calm than they were in the original dimension. After all, in the original dimension, Real Madrid had already achieved their wish and won the tenth Champions League trophy in team history in the 2013-2014 season.

After fulfilling their biggest wish, they have no psychological baggage and will feel less pressure when playing games. Both players and fans will have a more peaceful mentality overall, especially since Real Madrid is still the Champions League champion last year. The opponent is the challenger.

But in this time and space, everything has changed.

Real Madrid has yet to win its tenth crown, which has almost become the inner demon of the entire team.

The players on the field did not dare to attack because they wanted to win so much.

If they can't complete the victory in one battle, they will probably die if Manchester City succeeds in a sneak attack.

This mentality of wanting to win but afraid of losing is actually common among Real Madrid fans.

They really can't afford to lose. They have been losing for more than ten years, and this year is the second time they have reached the final. If they lose again this year, then next time they meet Manchester City, they will be a little lower in momentum, or even It may become their inner demon.

But Manchester City, who are feared by Real Madrid, are in a very bad state at this time.

Even if the opponent didn't attack aggressively, some players on Manchester City's side couldn't hold on any longer. Only five minutes into overtime, David Silva began to cramp.

Lin Quan, who was near him, immediately ran up to help him straighten his cramped legs and relieve his symptoms and pain.

The Real Madrid players on the side also enthusiastically ran over to help. Lin Quan took a closer look and found that it was Cristiano Ronaldo. He couldn't help but feel very surprised.

"Don't think too much, I just want the game to resume as soon as possible, I'm not trying to help him!"

Before Lin Quan could speak, Cristiano Ronaldo had already taken the lead in explaining.

Uh, is this tsundere?
Isn’t it rumored that Ronaldo has a domineering personality?
I didn't expect that there would be such a side.

David Silva finally recovered, but left back Clichy also began to cramp.

Chrissy really couldn't stand it anymore. He was already in his thirties and had been playing for almost a hundred minutes.

The full-backs not only have to defend, but also participate in the offense. After one game, their running distance is definitely among the best in the team.

It is not easy for Chrissy to persist until now.

Real Madrid's two full-backs were actually very tired. Carvajal and Marcelo were silent during this period.

Seeing Manchester City players lying on the grass one after another, the Real Madrid fans in the stands began to boo.

Apparently, they thought the other party was stalling for time.

Real Madrid players on the court were also protesting to the referee, asking the referee to stop the opponent's delaying behavior.

Although Real Madrid's offensive during this period is not fierce, they do not want Manchester City players to delay time in this way, because this will give other players a chance to breathe, which is not conducive to Real Madrid's next plan.

Under the protests of Real Madrid players, the referee checked Clichy's condition, waved for a stretcher to come up, and carried Clichy down for treatment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Clichy was off the field and Manchester City only had 10 men on the field, Real Madrid took the opportunity to launch a wave of attacks.

But they seem to have forgotten that there are five people in Manchester City's defense. Even if one is missing and there are four, the integrity of the defense is still maintained.

Therefore, their offense was ineffective, and they were almost succeeded by Manchester City's counterattack.

Real Madrid, who was startled, retreated again. Manchester City's lack of physical fitness and the lack of men were unable to attack.

In the last few minutes of the first half of overtime, both sides played very conservatively, and the 15 minutes of the first half passed quickly.

At the end of the first half, there was no rest time, and the two teams directly switched venues and continued playing.

Zidane carefully scanned all the Manchester City players to confirm the opponent's status one by one.

He was already certain that Manchester City's players were at the end of their rope.

Players had cramps just now, and now their physical condition is probably even worse.

Even Lin Quan was very silent during this period, making no sound.

This confirmed to Zidane that the time he had been waiting for had arrived!
So he waved his hand and Asensio came on to replace Kroos.

Morata comes on, replacing Benzema.

Real Madrid's formation became 433!

This change of formation is the signal to attack!
Zidane hesitated for a long time between replacing Cross and Casemiro and finally chose to replace Cross.

Casemiro's role in defense is too important to be easily replaced.

After Kroos comes off the field, Modric can take over the role of midfield commander. He happens to be responsible for pushing forward, so it is perfect for him to direct the attack.

After Real Madrid made substitutions and formation changes, the situation on the field immediately changed.

The Real Madrid army pressed forward and began to launch a crazy attack on Manchester City!
Asensio, who was new to the game, was very active, but he was faced with Clichy, who was physically weak and even took a beating.

Asensio confidently used his physical advantage to frequently attack Manchester City's wing on the right side, making Manchester City's left wing uneasy.

Chrissy was powerless at this time and couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

Facing Asensio's offense, Fernandinho had to come over frequently to help defend.

But the wing was defended, but the center was lost.

Although David Silva is still on the court, he is limited by his physical fitness. It is now difficult for him to defend effectively. In addition, Fernandinho is held back. Manchester City is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers in the center. With Modric , Casemiro and Kovacic quickly fell into a disadvantage in their offense.

Although Kanter and Lin Quan are strong, the opponent has a numerical advantage after all. No matter how strong they are, they cannot keep an eye on everyone.

In the 114th minute, Real Madrid launched an attack from the right.

After Asensio attracted the idea of ​​Manchester City players on the right, he did not pass the ball to the center as before, but passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area in an inverted triangle.

The unguarded Modric found a good opportunity, rushed up from behind at high speed, swung his foot and fired a long shot.

Modric's long-range shot was of extremely high quality. The ball was not only very fast, but also had a tricky angle, hitting the dead center of the goal.

Navas's saving action was a little slow. Although he tried his best, he still couldn't prevent the opponent's goal.

In the 24th minute of overtime, Real Madrid once again took the lead!
Modric scored a winning goal!
The Real Madrid fans in the stands were completely crazy, and the Real Madrid coaches and substitutes on the sidelines also went crazy. Everyone was celebrating crazily. Zidane half-turned around to celebrate in excitement, but accidentally tore his suit and left A large piece of the inner thigh was broken, and Qi Zu suddenly felt a chill in his balls.

On the court, Modric was extremely excited, like a rocket, accelerating and sprinting in front, so fast that even his teammates who rushed up from the side and wanted to hug him to celebrate were missed.

Although Real Madrid has scored 4 goals in this game, this one can be said to be the most precious goal.

It almost helped Real Madrid secure the Champions League title!

When the Manchester City players are low in morale, exhausted, and even suffering from frequent cramps, expect them to equalize the score in the last few minutes!
That is simply harder than climbing to the sky!

So this time, Real Madrid is really stable!

Whether they are Real Madrid fans, players, or even the head coach, this is what they are thinking at the moment.

The Champions League championship in the 2016-2017 season will eventually belong to Real Madrid!
However, just as everyone in Real Madrid was celebrating, a blue figure walked into their own goal, fished out the still rolling football from the goal frame, and carried it step by step towards the center circle.

The players clearly saw the jersey number on his back. It was Manchester City's captain and the core of the team, player No. 10 Lin Quan.

He hasn't given up yet! (End of chapter)
