Chapter 265 Lin Quan, Bale and Ronaldo’s performances!

Pepe's eyes widened in astonishment. He didn't expect that the other party would be so courageous and would choose to break through when he was approaching.

This makes Pepe a little annoyed!

This guy doesn't take himself seriously at all!

Although Pepe was very angry, he did not lose his mind.

He immediately blocked his position, preventing Lin Quan from passing easily.

The ball can pass, but people can't!

Xavi Alonso next to him also blocked Lin Quan's breakthrough route to the left at this time, and stretched out his feet to grab the ball.

If coupled with Arbeloa behind Pepe, Real Madrid formed a three-dimensional defense against Lin Quan at the front of the penalty area.

No matter which direction Lin Quan breaks through, he will be intercepted.

Manchester City's counterattack seemed to end in front of Real Madrid.

However, Lin Quan knew that there were tigers in the mountains, so he went to the tiger mountains.

He rushed towards Pepe's left side without hesitation, and Pepe immediately raised his arms to carry him, pushing him to the outside, making it impossible for him to dribble, adjust and shoot.

Pepe was very strong, but Lin Quan seemed to be completely at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation, and was actually pushed away by Pepe.

Pepe was overjoyed when he saw that his defense was successful. At the same time, he despised Lin Quan more and more, thinking that the opponent was nothing more than that.

But he suddenly froze, where is the ball?

Lin Quan stopped in front of him, but the ball was not at his feet!

Pepe looked up and found that the football had been passed out of the penalty area by Lin Quan at some point.

Outside the penalty area, a figure cut in at high speed from behind. It was Manchester City's attacking midfielder De Bruyne!

Pepe instantly understood that Lin Quan was deliberately pretending to be at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation and being squeezed away by himself, so as to make room in the middle and give De Bruyne a chance to shoot.

However, after understanding this, it was too late to take any remedial measures!

Because De Bruyne kicked the football directly!

There was a loud bang and the football flew towards Real Madrid's goal.

Casillas, like Pepe, thought the football was in Lin Quan's corner, but he didn't expect that he would pass the ball without anyone noticing when he was facing off against Pepe.

Seeing De Bruyne's shot at this time, Casillas did not have enough time to react, so he could only take off in a hurry.

While the ball was still in the air, Casillas knew he couldn't reach the ball.

With a swish sound, the football flew into the net.

Manchester City scored on their first attack.

With a bang, the Etihad Stadium erupted into earth-shattering cheers!

Manchester City fans were jumping up and down, celebrating the goal crazily.

De Bruyne, who scored the goal, was also very excited. He pointed at Lin Quan and rushed towards him quickly.

De Bruyne wanted to hug Lin Quan to celebrate, but unexpectedly Lin Quan turned around, bent slightly and let him ride on his back, carrying him around the field to celebrate!

De Bruyne hit the ball very decisively. If he hesitated for half a second, Casillas would definitely be able to react with his ability!

So although Lin Quan passed the ball beautifully, De Bruyne's final handling was also crucial.

Real Madrid's defense is indeed very strong, and just relying on a few forwards to attack their defense may not be successful.

Just like just now, Pepe and others really almost restricted Lin Quan, causing him to lose the space to rush forward.

But they failed to guard against De Bruyne who came in behind, allowing Manchester City to seize this rare opportunity.

Real Madrid will definitely not make such a mistake again, so if such an opportunity cannot be seized, it will never appear again in the future!

Fortunately, De Bruyne seized this opportunity!

On the sidelines, Pellegrini was so excited after seeing De Bruyne score that he rushed out of the coaching bench waving his arms.

The players and coaching staff on the Manchester City bench were all very excited!

We're ahead of Real Madrid!

Less than five minutes into the game, we took the lead!

What a fantastic start this is!

In the box at Etihad Stadium, Mansour, the big boss who came from the United Arab Emirates, saw the team score the first goal and couldn't help but stand up and applaud the players.

He was extremely lucky now, lucky for his decision to go to Munich to invite Lin Quan!

Before Lin Quan joined, Manchester City failed twice in the Champions League group stage. Not to mention reaching the semi-finals and leading Real Madrid, even qualifying from the group was a constant problem!

But after Lin Quan joined, all this is no longer a problem!

Although this goal was not directly scored by Lin Quan, most of the credit for this goal must be attributed to Lin Quan.

Without him attracting the attention of almost all the opponent's defensive players and helping De Bruyne open up space, De Bruyne would never have such a chance to score.

Taking the lead so early, does Manchester City have a chance to defeat the powerful Real Madrid at home?

…

In the visiting team's coaching bench, Ancelotti, who originally looked relaxed, frowned after seeing De Bruyne's goal, and couldn't help chewing gum faster.

Manchester City really played this ball beautifully, mainly because Lin Quan handled it beautifully.

He did not recklessly choose to fight Real Madrid's defense, but deliberately created the illusion of forcing a pass. After paralyzing Real Madrid's defensive players, he completed the pass with his heel very covertly.

This treatment is very smart and calm. As long as a Manchester City player comes forward, a shot can be formed.

Is this Manchester City's offensive tactics today?

Using Lin Quan in front as a cover, the real killer move is hidden behind?

Ancelotti couldn't help but look at Pellegrini next to him, thinking that this old guy had prepared such a 'surprise' for himself!

But it doesn't matter. Losing goals in away games is expected for Real Madrid.

Ancelotti was not very worried about this because he never thought about being able to defend Manchester City's offense.

The key to this game is not whether Manchester City can score, but whether Real Madrid can score!

Before UEFA restructured the Champions League, away goals were very important.

In the case of the same score, there are many teams that eliminate their opponents by virtue of their away goal advantage!

Therefore, the visiting team can accept defeat, but cannot accept being kept clean.

As long as we can score away goals, everything is possible when we return to home!

Thinking of this, Ancelotti waved his hand and signaled the team to increase their offensive.

Real Madrid's offensive power is not weaker than that of Manchester City. If Manchester City can score goals, so can Real Madrid!

Seeing Lin Quan assisting his teammates to score, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and others couldn't sit still!

The focus of this game is the direct confrontation between him and Lin Quan!

After Manchester City's double defeat of Barcelona, ​​most of the doubts about Lin Quan's ability to play alongside Melo disappeared.

If Lin Quanneng leads Manchester City to defeat Real Madrid in this game, he will not only join the ranks of Melo's unrivaled twins, but he can even overwhelm these two and be ranked in front of them.

And this is absolutely unacceptable to Ronaldo!

His competitive spirit cannot accept such a failure!

As a result, Ronaldo's performance in the frontcourt became extremely positive.

In the 7th minute, Ronaldo's long-range shot in front of the penalty area missed the crossbar and flew into the stands. The Portuguese held his head in frustration.

Just 5 minutes later, he received a pass from Modric, passed Demichelis and broke into the penalty area. Unfortunately, the last kick was a bit too big and was destroyed by Joe Hart who attacked.

Before he was seriously injured and transformed into a center, Ronaldo was not a pure forward.

At this time, Ronaldo is fast, dribbling, capable of breakthroughs, and scoring goals. His abilities are not only powerful, but also comprehensive. He is almost the ceiling for the winger position!

Therefore, at this time, Ronaldo was called by fans - Phnom Penh Ronaldo!

When defending him one-on-one, Kolarov was beaten very awkwardly and often needed help from his teammates.

The attackers in Real Madrid's frontcourt are all very powerful. Once Manchester City's players assign more people to defend Ronaldo, the number of defenders in other positions will not be enough!

In the 22nd minute, when Ronaldo once again attracted his opponent from the wing, Modric moved the ball to the other side and handed it to Bell.

Bale is different from Benzema in that he is an ambitious player.

He knows that Ronaldo is strong, but he firmly believes that he is stronger.

Therefore, Bell wants to be Real Madrid's number one star and compete with Ronaldo for the position of the team's boss!

At this time, after receiving Modric's pass, Bell quickly increased his speed and launched an impact towards Manchester City's penalty area like a cloud.

After Zabaleta suffered a loss once, he did not dare to rush forward again this time.

He stepped back sideways, guarding against Bell's passing of the ball, and was ready to turn around and fight for the ball with the opponent at any time.

However, when Bell saw the opponent's posture, he actually chose to pass the ball.

Modric, who came to respond, received Bell's pass, then passed the ball forward and hit Zabaleta behind.

Modric has seen Bell's speed, and he believes that Bell will be able to get the ball before Zabaleta.

Bell did not disappoint him. When he passed the ball to Modric, he started to rush forward and got the ball before Zabaleta.

This time, Cross stared at the advancing Isco and did not help defend Bell.

This gave Bell a chance. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area at a very high speed, avoided Kompany who stepped forward to intercept, dribbled the ball to the right side of the goal, and completed a kick from a small angle.

The ball was a stick to the ground, and Joe Hart immediately fell to the ground to save it, blocking it with his hands and trying to save it.

But the ball was so powerful that it refracted off his hand, hit the crossbar and bounced into the net!

1:1!

Real Madrid equalized the score in the 23rd minute of the first half!

After scoring the goal, Bell ran wildly and ran all the way to the camera on the sidelines. He clenched his fists and roared at the camera. His ferocious appearance was exactly the same as the Great Sage in Journey to the West!

Real Madrid players rushed towards Bale, surrounded him in the middle, and celebrated wildly with him.

Only Ronaldo, who was relatively far away, did not pass by. The Portuguese only applauded symbolically and did not run over to join in the fun.

In fact, he was very unhappy inside.

Just now I clearly asked for it, but Modric actually passed the ball to Bell.

Even if it was passed to Bell, this guy actually scored!

This makes Ronaldo a little bit annoyed. It's okay if Lin doesn't exchange jerseys with him. Modric, how come you, the little brother, betrayed the big brother?

When Ancelotti saw the team equalize the score, he clapped with satisfaction, but he didn't seem too excited, giving people the feeling that everything was under control.

The five thousand Real Madrid fans who came to the away game were not as calm as their head coach. When they saw Bell scoring a goal, they shouted his name crazily.

This scene made Bell very useful and he felt quite proud. It seems that his popularity in the Real Madrid team is still very high!

The main reason why Bale wants to compete with Ronaldo for the leadership position in the team is because of his transfer fee.

When he transferred to Real Madrid, his transfer fee was the highest in football, which was higher than that of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Coming to the Galaxy with the highest transfer fee in football, let alone Bale, it would be impossible for anyone else to be without ambition!

Besides, I can do everything Cristiano Ronaldo can do and Bale can do it. I also have a speed advantage that Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t have, so why can’t I be the boss?

Pellegrini frowned. Although the goal was scored by Bale, the key to this goal lay in Modric's pass.

If Modric can be tutored on this point, he may become a huge hidden danger for Manchester City.

So, Pellegrini waved and spoke to Yaya Turel.

In the subsequent games, Yaya Toure began to closely mark Modric.

However, the effect of this move is not very good, because Real Madrid's organizational core is not just Modric!

After Modric encountered marking, Real Madrid quickly transferred the organizational work to Xabi Alonso.

Before Modric came to the team, Xabi Alonso had always been Real Madrid's midfield brain.

However, after consecutive injuries last year, his playing time was reduced and his condition also declined to a certain extent. Only then did he gradually retreat to the background, and most of the team's offensive organizing responsibilities were handed over to Modric.

But this does not mean that Xavi Alonso cannot do such work.

Xavi Alonso's position is deeper, plus he has better physical fitness and stronger physical confrontation ability.

Manchester City's frontcourt players are not as effective in pressing and interfering with him as they were against Modric!

In the 32nd minute of the first half, after Xavi Alonso took the ball and evaded De Bruyne, who was trying to grab the ball, he looked up and observed the positions of the players on both sides of the field, and quickly sent a kick over 40 meters away. Long pass.

Xabi Alonso's long passes are different from other people's long passes. The football is like eyes under his feet. This kind of super long overhead long pass can always easily find teammates in the frontcourt. , or pass to a weak spot in the opponent's defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been teammates with Xavi Alonso for four or five years and knows his passing skills well.

Seeing Xavi Alonso looking up, Ronaldo immediately started running.

He believes that as long as he can run out of space, his teammates will definitely pass the ball to him!

Modric and Bale are both from Tottenham, and they have a better relationship. It is normal for Modric to prefer Bale.

But Xavi Alonso came from Liverpool, and he came to Real Madrid from the Premier League in the same year as himself.

The relationship between the two is definitely closer than the relationship between him and Bell, so the probability of Xavi Alonso passing the ball to him is greater.

Ronaldo's judgment is still very accurate. As he ran, the football fell in front of him. Not only did Xavi Alonso come for this ball, but he also calculated the advance amount in advance. If Ronaldo didn't advance in advance, If it starts, he won't be able to get this ball at all!

Well done!

Cristiano Ronaldo secretly praised the ball in his heart. He easily removed the ball with a master-level stop, and then shot the ball toward the goal before the defensive player stepped forward to interfere.
