Chapter 352 Cristiano header!

After Bai Ran received the ball, he pulled the ball on the inside of one foot of his body.

Since the ball was between his legs and he was facing Herrera sideways, it was difficult for Herrera to destroy the ball at Bai Ran's feet.

The two competed in midfield.

The offensive players had an advantage over the defensive players, and Bai Ran even used the Crab Step. He pulled the ball, and the ball rolled back and hit Bai Ran's leg, popping out.

Herrera is not tall and has a relatively low center of gravity. Bairan made three center of gravity changes in an instant, and Herrera was still able to keep up.

But Herrera consumed even more energy.

Bai Ran was dribbling horizontally with the ball. The ball hit back and forth between his legs, just like a billiard ball. His movements were very weird, but if anyone wanted to grab the ball at Bai Ran's feet, they would definitely not be able to grab it. Qiao Bairan immediately pulled out the ball and passed the ball.

It's not uncommon for Real Madrid players to see this scene. Bai Ran had done this before when he played against Barcelona.

Manchester United players have never seen a player stick to the ball like this in a club like Real Madrid. But I still can't grab it.

Bai Ran wandered in front of the Manchester United penalty area for a circle and a half.

Fellaini finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Seeing the opportunity, he sneaked over and stretched out his feet, trying to knock the ball away from Bai Ran's feet.

Bai Ran has been waiting for a long time. He also admired the Manchester United players in his heart for being really patient and taking so long to grab the ball.

Bai Ran grabbed the ball before that happened, and then passed it straight.

Before a Manchester United player moves his feet, Bai Ran's pass is easily intercepted, and he has to wait for someone to make a move before he can make a move.

This is a game between two people, it depends on who can't stand it anymore.

If it had been for someone else, he would have passed the ball to someone else and reorganized, but this was what Bai Ran was betting on.

Now Fellaini came over to grab the ball from Bai Ran, so there were two people watching Bai Ran, which naturally freed up a Real Madrid player.

Bai Ran immediately seized the gap and stuffed the ball.

Modric!

He appeared in the penalty area and got the ball!

Manchester United also looked confused towards other players.

Modric, a small player with a height of 1.7 meters, is inconspicuous in the penalty area full of people.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, and Bale were all fighting hand-to-hand with the muscular men of Manchester United. Everyone had their own goals, but after a person who shouldn't be here appeared here, the defense missed someone.

Bai Ran's passing was also quite clever, piercing the crotches of two players in a row, which also interfered with the defensive players' vision. However, Modric was quite familiar with Bai Ran's passing style.

He knew that if he ran to that place, he would be able to pass the ball.

After receiving the pass, Modric didn't make too many adjustments and just fired a powerful shot.

As a midfielder, Modric does not have many goals and assists. But that doesn’t mean the Croatian captain can’t shoot.

His shot was powerful and heavy, like a heavy cannon hitting the goal.

De Gea reacted extremely quickly, jumped up on the spot, punched out with both fists, and then reluctantly dragged the ball over the crossbar. Because the duck knew that the ball could not be caught, he did not use his hands to save at all. Just push the ball out with your fist.

Corner kick.

The goal actually missed, and there was a sound of regret at the Bernabeu Stadium. Modric himself was also very upset. Bai Ran's pass was as wonderful as it was.

"I come!"

"Are you coming again?"

Modric was also curious. Bai Ran had never taken a corner kick during training, so what else did he want to do?

"Manchester United have so many tall men that corner kicks in training no longer work."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"You stand up and act like you're taking a tactical corner kick to confuse them."

Modric listened to Bai Ran and stood near him without running far, which forced Manchester United to assign another person to guard Modric.

At that moment, Manchester United did not put anyone on the goal line to help defend the corner kick.

Because standing like that makes it less likely for the opponent to go offside.

As a result, fewer and fewer teams will put players on the goal line.

Originally, Bai Ran wanted to take a tactical corner kick, but seeing the way Manchester United played against the player's position, there was a possibility of offside if Modric returned the ball.

So Bai Ran thought of a possibility...

Kick the football directly into the penalty area. The opponent has tall defensive players and a very responsive goalkeeper. Playing tactical corners is still the same.

Then kick the ball to the top of the arc for a long shot, but since Cristiano Ronaldo scored just now, Manchester United has paid attention to the defense. Even if Herrera followed Bai Ran, there were others to fill the position, and Rooney even returned to his own side. The frontier of the restricted area.

In order to win this game, Xiaopang has already worked hard.

In fact, the scoring rate of corner kicks is not very high. Real Madrid's high scoring rate of corner kicks is not actually an offensive corner kick, but a high scoring rate of defensive corner kicks.

It started during Uncle Psy's era.

After the defensive corner kick was snatched by Real Madrid, it was a counterattack when it was slapped twice and hit in front. The players such as Cristiano Ronaldo in front were all good counterattackers.

As for attacking corner kicks, Real Madrid's efficiency is very average.

Bai Ran took a deep breath and raised his hands at the same time.

This action confused the players of both teams.

When every team takes a corner kick, in order to allow their teammates to better grab the point, they will make an action. For example, raising the left hand is the front point, and raising the right hand is the back point.

Bai Ran raised both hands together, making everyone confused.

"What do you mean? Surrender?"

Then Bai Ran whipped the ball hard.

The force was so great that the football flew high into the air, drew an arc, and headed straight for the penalty area with a strong spin.

Seeing the football coming, Manchester United's penalty area was in chaos.

Everyone is grabbing points.

Fellaini, who was in the front, overpowered Ronaldo to take off, but the ball was still quite far away from Fellaini's fluffy hair.

"This is too high, even Yao Min can't reach it!"

However, after the football entered the small penalty area, it had a relatively strong drop and also spun backward.

Ramos, Smalling and others in the middle were also unable to reach when they took off.

Bell, who was lying in ambush at the back point, found that the ball was coming toward him. However, he wanted to move forward but could not move because he was blocked by Phil Jones.

Phil Jones, although he is about the same height as Bell, is quite strong and blocks Bell behind him like a wall.

De Gea felt bad when he saw the ball go backwards, because corner kicks are taken from the front, and the goalkeeper basically relies on the defender to block the ball and reach the back.

There are also goalkeepers who can move back in time. It is also necessary to establish that the opponent's shot can be effectively saved when the opponent's shot is relatively accurate.

Otherwise, the threat from the back penalty point is much greater than that from the front penalty point. If you want to hit the penalty kick from the back penalty point and head the goal, you must go through the destruction of the front point and the middle. If you want to take a particularly high-quality penalty kick, luck and Footwork is indispensable.

However, at this time, the ball turned directly towards the goal with strong rotation.

"If you block me, I won't let you take off properly!"

Phil Jones is stuck, like a pair of close lovers.

Phil Jones jumped up hard with Bell hanging on his body, but the football didn't reach his scalp and spun towards the goal.

At this time, De Gea had completely surrendered his body, soared into the air, stretched out his hand, and used his fingertips to poke the football flying toward the goal.

He felt as if he had hit something through his glove, and he didn't know if he could change the direction of the football's flight.

Just for a moment, the duck's body fell downwards.

Boom!

There was the dull sound of a football hitting the goal post.

Argentinian Rojo was in this position and saw the football being pounced by his goalkeeper, hitting the goal post and popping out. He could block the ball from this position, so he used an unconventional move to flick it with his foot.

Get ready to destroy football.

But he didn't expect to bump into Luke Xiao's butt.

Blocked the football again.

Ramos, who was in the center of the penalty area, had quick eyes and quick feet, so he quickly stepped up and shot.

As a result, De Gea, who was lying on the ground, reacted very quickly. He jumped up from the ground and blocked the shot with his body.

But the ball was blocked and bounced into Luke Shaw's face and bounced into the goal again.

Fatty: "..."

Manchester United's players were silent.

At this time, Ronaldo appeared again. He picked up the ball from the net and ran towards the midpoint.

Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid tied the total score to 2:4.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the gap is still very big, at least three goals must be scored.

After scoring the goal, Real Madrid's players had no intention of celebrating because the gap was too big. Scoring two goals felt like it didn't help.

Bai Ran ran back unsteadily.

"Just score three more goals. I'll contract one, Gary will get one, Karim will get one, and Cristiano will have to endure some hardships to get two. These are five, and they are rich enough."

Bai Ran's words made his teammates laugh.

"You can just come in if you want. Manchester United doesn't want to lose face."

"I didn't even say I was going to score a hat trick and I already gave them face. Why, Tony, don't you believe it? How about we make a bet, whoever loses will wash the underwear of the other for a year!"

"Pull it down quickly, I'm afraid you'll tear my underwear."

Bai Ran made a joke here, clearing up a lot of the originally solid and solemn atmosphere.

If you think about it, if everyone scores a goal, it will be over.

No big deal, it's not about grabbing eggs.

Another goal was conceded when the game restarted, which was not a big blow to Manchester United. After all, including injury time, there were only 50 minutes left.

Not conceding three goals in 50 minutes is already a very low requirement.

However, Real Madrid saw the hope of scoring goals, and Manchester United was not incapable of breaking through, so each one of them was like taking drugs.

Everyone was in high spirits.

At this time, Herrera was a little unable to follow Bai Ran.

He felt that it was too difficult to follow a player like Bai Ran alone.

In particular, the cooperation between Bai Ran, Modric and Toni Kroos is very tacit, and they play all kinds of pick-and-rolls with great proficiency.

Herrera had to put in more energy if he wanted to keep up with Bai Ran.

In this game, Ronaldo was stared at very hard.

Originally, Cristiano Ronaldo's jumping ability was a magic weapon for grabbing points, but in this game, the two aerial tyrants took turns staring at Cristiano Ronaldo.

But I just saw that Bai Ran still didn't care when faced with such a difficult situation, which also inspired Ronaldo's fighting spirit.

From then on, Ronaldo started asking for the ball non-stop.

One man turned the right side of Manchester United upside down.

"Although Damian is in good position, I think his athletic ability is limited, especially his explosive power. You can try to break through him more."

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Bai Ran said something to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo nodded.

In fact, he also saw it. Damian was very tall, his blocking position was very accurate, and his ability to read the game was also very strong.

However, Damian is a typical Italian defensive player with a very good defensive awareness, but due to his lack of butt, his speed is not good, especially his explosive power.

Cristiano Ronaldo can often beat him hard. If other Manchester United players hadn't always come out to fill in, with two players guarding one, Cristiano Ronaldo would have penetrated this side.

After the out-of-bounds ball came out, Marcelo went down at high speed, but no one in the Manchester United team cared about him. As long as he did not enter the penalty area or get the ball, no one cared about Marcelo because they were not afraid of Real Madrid's cross.

This made Marcelo feel awkward throughout the entire half and had no sense of presence.

From a low ball, it's all leg-passing. When a high ball comes in, there's room for dominance.

In the past, Marcelo and Ronaldo could be called a golden partner, but this game was very restricted.

Ronaldo was about to cut inside and found that there were too many legs in the penalty area, and even he couldn't find an angle to hit a long shot. Therefore, it can only be passed to Marcelo, while he is running into the penalty area.

Marcelo was a little hesitant after getting the ball. Normally at this time he would pass the ball without any hesitation.

But it was passed throughout the first half and had no effect.

"Give me!"

Marcelo heard someone requesting it and without saying a word, he returned the ball to a white figure in the corner of the penalty area.

That's Bai Ran.

Bai Ran doesn't care.

When the ball reached this place, he passed it without taking a shot, and punched the old master to death. What's more, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale knocking on the goal and passed it over.

Of course Bai Ran has an extra thought.

We know that Manchester United's defenders are very capable in air defense, even the worst Rojo is very good.

But some things cannot be made up for by fighting spirit, so when Bai Ran passed the ball again, he deliberately passed it about fifteen centimeters higher than usual.

Being tall does not mean good jumping ability. The meaning of being tall is that many high-altitude balls can achieve the same effect as other players without taking off, which is more convenient and faster.

Seeing Bai Ran's pass coming, Ronaldo jumped high in advance. He got stuck in the air, preventing Smallin in front of him from taking off.

The height of Ronaldo's jump was already higher than the goal. He was simply waiting for Bai Ran's pass in the air.

"What air refueling station..."

Cristiano Ronaldo, who stayed in the air for a long time, became the focus of the field, and everyone else became the background.

Bai Ran's ball had already been passed much higher, but compared to the height of Ronaldo's jump this time, it was slightly shorter, causing Ronaldo to have to lower his head slightly to reach the header.

"Cristiano header!"

"GOAL!!"

"Real Madrid rewritten the score to 3:4 in the last minute of the first half! Oh my God, they pulled the situation back! Manchester United is going to have a headache! This goal is the masterpiece of Ronaldo! Bai Ran also passed it with a tactful mind Just right.”

Ronaldo took a look after scoring the goal. The time displayed on the big screen was already the last ten seconds of injury time, so this time he did not go to the goal to take the ball out, but ran towards the corner kick area. He asked Bai Ran to wait for his teammates to come over and celebrate with him.

"Let me tell you, it's not difficult. Okay, now that Chris has completed half of the task, we have to work harder."

"Oh my God, it's so bad, like moldy spaghetti, Li, you're like a taskmaster." Benzema complained while riding on Bai Ran's back.

"You stupid woodchuck, it's not me who gets off my back and scores a goal again! Karim, how long do you think it has been since you scored a goal? I really want to kick you hard with my boots. 's ass."

"Ha ha ha ha."

A bunch of Real Madrid players were smiling like Donald Duck.

Seeing the Real Madrid players so relaxed, Van Gaal's expression on the sidelines became increasingly ugly.

Manchester United still has a certain advantage, but it will not be good if it continues like this.

Sure enough, as soon as Manchester United passed the ball, the referee blew the whistle to end the half-time game.

Returning to the locker room, Zidane immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"The boys did a great job, let's keep up the good work in the second half!"

"BOSS, I estimate that Manchester United will attack in the second half and use offense instead of defense." Bai Ran said.

"Yes, that's what I expected. Van Gaal is a very experienced head coach. He will definitely not sit back and wait for death. But from this point of view, it may be our chance. We still played in the second half. Twelve points of spirit, we can only relax after the end of the game noise."

"Boss, let's get something affordable. If we can win this game, will you treat us to a meal at DIVERXO?" Bai Ran said maliciously.

DIVERXO is the best restaurant in Madrid. It ranks among the best in the list of Western restaurants in the world. Of course, the price is also very beautiful. Anyway, Bai Ran couldn't bear to eat there.

"DIVERXO? You are really good at choosing places. I still have to support my family. After the game, shouldn't you and your girlfriend enjoy some time together?"

Zidane's words made Bai Ran lose control.

"You know it too?"

Next to him, Ronaldo spread his hands innocently: "I didn't say anything, it's none of my business."

"I'm not blind...well, I was originally worried that your indulging in love would affect your performance on the field, but unexpectedly, it seems to be even more powerful. If I had known better, I would have introduced my niece to you."

Although Bai Ran has the attributes of a Sheniu, he is still a traditional Chinese and is a bit embarrassed to be ridiculed by his teammates and coaches like this.

After the coach made simple arrangements, everyone got back on the field. After returning to the field, they suddenly discovered that Manchester United had changed two people during the half-time break.

Di Maria and Juan Mata came on, and Herrera was substituted.

It seems that Van Gaal also feels that since Herrera is focusing on Bai Ran and there is still no way to prevent Real Madrid from scoring, then simply don't use the counter-attack tactic, because it is obviously ineffective.
