Chapter 580 Mbappe, became famous with one goal!

During the halftime break, the head coaches of both teams took the time to adjust the team's tactics and arrange the tactics for the second half.

Compared with Real Madrid, Manchester City's tactical system has undergone greater changes due to De Bruyne's injury and retirement, and more adjustments are needed.

Guardiola made two preparations for Real Madrid's possible decisions in the second half.

"With Kevin not present, Lin will definitely become the target of the opponent, so in the second half, I need others to step up and share part of the offensive pressure!"

Guardiola's eyes fell on David Silva and Gundogan. Although David Silva plays as a winger, he is actually more like a midfielder.

If it doesn't work, Guardiola plans to withdraw David Silva's position, take over part of the organizational work, and switch to a midfielder.

David Silva's talent is definitely underestimated. Regardless of his low appearance rate on the court, he is only given one or two seconds when passing the ball or cooperating with Lin Quan and others on the sidelines. lens, it is basically difficult to see him at other times.

But his status and role in Manchester City's formation cannot be replaced. His dribbling ability is outstanding, his ability to protect the ball is strong, his base is very stable, the ball is passed to his feet very safely, and he almost never loses the ball.

Even if you can't pass it forward, you can safely pass it back to your teammates.

Moreover, David Silva also has an elusive pass. Whether it is a short-distance through ball, or a mid-to-long-distance pick pass or a long pass, he has something he can do.

Therefore, as Manchester City moves forward, he is not only able to fight with opposing players without losing the ball, but he can also often play one-on-one with his teammates and send wonderful passes to his teammates on the front line.

In a team that focuses on passing and controlling, knowing these things does not seem to be very prominent, especially with Lin Quan and De Bruyne who often make incredible breakthroughs or amazing passes to attract everyone's attention. In this case, David Silva is naturally easily overlooked.

But where the camera can't see it, he has been working hard to fight, defend, and attack, silently dedicating everything to the team.

Before players such as Lin Quan and De Bruyne joined, the core of Manchester City's offense was actually this small Spaniard.

It's just that after more outstanding teammates joined, David Silva took the initiative to give up the ball and took on more dirty work. His teammates did the limelight things, and he shouldered the dirty work of wiping his own butt.

Perhaps precisely because of his increasingly low profile in recent years, Real Madrid did not target David Silva much in this game.

This allowed Guardiola to see an opportunity. He felt that he could use this to make a fuss. I believe that he would be able to surprise Real Madrid by then.

Of course, if this trick doesn't work, Guardiola still has a backup plan.

As long as Manchester City does not fall behind before 70 minutes, he will replace Aguero and replace Jesus.

Jesus may not be as good at shooting as Aguero, and he can't do the job of a traditional center.

But Guardiola found many advantages in him. The first is obedience. He will implement everything the coach orders to the letter.

Secondly, he has a positive defensive attitude. Although he can't play center, he is very good at interfering with the opponent's offense.

Of course, if you only have this ability, you will definitely not be able to catch Guardiola's eyes.

Guardiola also found that Jesus played very well as a right winger. Although he was not proficient in the technique of cutting in and shooting, the quality of his crosses was very high.

If it really doesn't work, you can let him play, replace Gundogan, and use his passing ability to assist his teammates.

When the time comes, Manchester City will have Mbappe on the left and Jesus on the right, which will definitely put Real Madrid in a dilemma!

…

Zidane and Guardiola want to get together!

He first emphasized defense in the locker room and then started arranging offense.

For Real Madrid, it would be best if they can defeat Manchester City directly before regular time.

But if they can't, then they have to rely on defense to hold on to the tie and drag the game into overtime.

If overtime still cannot resolve the battle, then a penalty shootout is an acceptable result.

It's just a matter of luck!

Anyway, Real Madrid has many shooters, so they are not necessarily timid about taking penalty kicks. On the contrary, it seems that it is not easy for Manchester City to find five penalty kickers with good shooting skills.

However, Zidane is not prepared to blindly defend passively. Real Madrid has already experienced Manchester City's offensive strength in the second half of the first half. If he blindly defends passively, he may not be able to defend against it.

Therefore, Zidane arranged a tactic to grab the opening, allowing the players to take advantage of the opponent's mental inertia at the beginning of the second half to catch Manchester City off guard.

As long as they can score a goal, Real Madrid will be more motivated to defend!

…

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the players from both teams quickly returned to the field.

When the referee blew the whistle for the second half, both teams sped up in unison.

"Huh? Real Madrid and Manchester City picked up the speed at the beginning of the second half, and the pace of the game was faster than in the first half."

"Does this mean that the two teams have to change their tactics and play against each other in the Champions League final?"

In the TV station's commentary box, the commentators were a little stunned for a moment when they saw this sudden situation on the field.

"It is possible, but teams in the finals have generally been conservative, and there are very few teams that dare to open up and attack. After all, there is a saying that 'defense wins the championship'!"

Not only the commentators were shocked, but also the players on both sides of the field were a little stunned.

In the second half itself, Real Madrid kicked off first. After kicking off, they followed the coach's tactics and prepared to use a fast break to catch Manchester City off guard.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the ball kicked off, a large number of Manchester City players rushed towards the ball holder.

Benzema was shocked when he was holding the ball and quickly passed the ball to Modric.

As soon as Modric received the ball, he was pressed by Lin Quan and Aguero.

Modric's ability to protect the ball is indeed very strong, but it is still too reluctant to fight one against two, and he has to pass the ball back to Casemiro.

Casemiro is not good at organization, not to mention that the opponent's forwards and even midfielders rushed towards him like a mad dog. He was frightened and quickly passed the ball to Kroos.

Before Cross received the ball, he had already seen Manchester City's aggressive pressure on the space on the back wing, so he made a long pass and passed the ball to Bell on the wing.

The ball was passed very well. Bell saw the landing point of the football and while speeding up his sprint, he gave Kroos a thumbs up in his heart.

But Manchester City, which had suffered a loss, had already taken precautions. A man who shouldn't be in this position appeared here, jumped high, and headed the ball away before Bell.

After Bell saw clearly who appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It’s actually Manchester City’s centre-back Stones!

How could this guy come to the wing and be positioned so high forward?

Bell doesn't understand Manchester City's defensive system, so he has such doubts.

Although Stones' position is a central defender, sometimes he will leave his position and become a defensive midfielder.

If there is an offensive opportunity, he will even dribble the ball across the half court, cooperate with his teammates on the wing, and intervene in the attack like a full-back.

As for the defensive issue, it is enough to have Van Dyke as a sweeper to hold back.

Van Dyke's retreating defense is very effective when facing the opponent one-on-one.

Unless the opponent has a numerical advantage when attacking, it will be difficult to break through Van Dyke's defense.

In this way, Manchester City liberated another person when they attacked, especially Stones, an unexpected variable that caught Real Madrid off guard.

The ball passed by Stones was caught by Gundogan. Faced with Ronaldo's pressing, Gundogan passed it back to Van Dijk, and Van Dijk quickly moved to the feet of his teammates on the wing.

David Silva got the ball. He glanced at Lin Quan's position and made a move to pass it to Lin Quan. Real Madrid players had no doubt that he was there because Lin Quan was the core of Manchester City's offense and organization. The opponent handed the ball over to Lin Quan. It was an expected thing for Lin Quan.

So they immediately followed the predetermined plan and formed a semi-surrounding force on Lin Quan. As long as David Silva dared to pass the ball, they immediately double-teamed Lin Quan, stole the ball from his feet, and then continued to counterattack.

However, to their surprise, David Silva did not pass to Lin Quan, but moved to the other wing in a wide range and found the open Mbappe.

This is a connection between a winger and a winger, but because David Silva retreated when he received the ball, the ball almost spanned most of the court diagonally, with a straight line distance of more than 50 meters.

David Silva's long pass not only surprised all Real Madrid players, but even Mbappe himself was a little surprised.

Originally, he was just running according to the team's offensive tactics, but after seeing that Lin Quan was about to be surrounded by the opponent, Mbappe felt that the ball would probably not be passed, so he began to slow down.

But he didn't expect that David Silva, who was so far away from him, could actually see his opportunity and pass the ball over.

This view is perfect!

Mbappe wanted to give David Silva 10,000 likes in his heart. He quickly accelerated and chased the football away.

Carvajal knew that he couldn't grab the landing spot, but he still had to bite the bullet and rush over.

This was originally the area he defended. If he couldn't come over, Real Madrid's defense on the right would be completely empty.

Carvajal cannot prevent Mbappe from getting the ball, but he hopes to prevent Mbappe from advancing forward. Even if he cannot steal the ball from his feet, he must at least slow down his advancement speed and allow teammates in other positions to return to defense. Gain time.

Mbappe didn't care what the opponent was thinking. When he saw Carvajal approaching, he kicked the ball forward and then began to accelerate, preparing to use his speed to eat Carvajal alive again.

Seeing this move of the other party, Carvajal was furious. This boy looked down on others!

But he had a yellow card on his back and he didn't dare to commit a foul at this time, so he could only turn around desperately and reach out to pull Mbappe while turning around, trying to prevent the opponent from surpassing him.

Mbappe's explosive power exceeded Carvajal's expectations.

His pulling did not affect the opponent's body balance, and it did not even slow down the opponent.

Mbappe was like a supercar with a full tank of gas and the accelerator pressed to the bottom, rushing out from Carvajal's side with a whoosh.

Compared with Mbappe, Carvajal is like a rusty old car, as slow as a snail.

All the Real Madrid fans in the stands went crazy!

Come again!

The opponent's 18-year-old black winger really left a deep impression on them today. The last and this time's wing breakthroughs were both unreasonable breakthroughs. He was faster than you. You What can I do?

In a box somewhere in the stadium, Real Madrid president Florentino could no longer sit still.

He clenched his fists and stared at Mbappe who was running at full speed on the court. He turned to the club manager Angel and said:

"Make an offer to Manchester City. I want to see their No. 29 appear in our lineup next season!"

Angel was stunned for a moment, and after realizing the chairman's determination to buy people, he nodded heavily:

"Don't worry, Mr. President, I will do my best to bring him to the Bernabeu!"

Even though he said this, he was feeling bitter in his heart:

Mbappe's name has actually become famous in football last season. He debuted in the Monaco first team very early, and because his playing style is very similar to Henry's, he is favored by many French football celebrities. Henry even praised him, thinking that his future achievements would exceed his own.

Real Madrid actually sent scouts to inspect him at the time, and even submitted an offer to Monaco.

But unexpectedly, before they could start further negotiations with Monaco, Manchester City came to an end, and the transfer was quickly finalized, catching Real Madrid off guard.

Although the transfer fee of 40 million euros once caused heated discussion and even a sensation in football at the time, many people felt that Manchester City and Guardiola worked too hard.

There is no shortage of young talents in football, but many of them failed to play out due to various reasons.

Dare to spend 40 million to win the opponent when he is only 17 years old. I have to say that Guardiola is very courageous and dares to gamble.

In the first half of the season after joining Manchester City, Mbappe had very few opportunities to play. There were many voices from the outside world who believed that Manchester City's deal was a loss.

But what happened later proved that Manchester City not only did not lose money on this transaction, but also made a lot of money.

This season, as Mbappe has played more and more games in the Premier League and Champions League, his performance has become better and better. The statistics of goals and assists are very gorgeous, especially for a man who is only 18 years old. of players.

That is because he is in Manchester City, and what Manchester City lacks most is wingers, so his number of appearances is greatly limited.

Otherwise, based on his performance, he would definitely be the main player in other teams.

Before the final, Mbappe's worth in the German transfer market had increased to 60 million euros.

You must know that the German transfer market is usually very conservative in its assessment of players' worth. If you want to win a player, the transfer fee requires a substantial premium. Sometimes you even have to spend a transfer fee that is twice the value to win the player you like.

And based on Mbappe's performance in this game, Angel can already imagine that Mbappe's worth may rise to another ten or twenty million.

This means that if you want to win him, there is no hope for less than 100 million euros.

Even if Manchester City is really willing to sell, Real Madrid may have to spend 100 million or even 150 million euros to do so.

But, is it crazy to spend so much money on an 18-year-old player?
