Chapter 590 Water Lord Ramos

In fact, most Manchester United players only move according to their respective positions. For example, the full-backs shuttle up and down. In addition to shuttle up and down, the full-midfielders also need to switch positions in the wing. The movement of other players is nothing unusual. Most teams can do it.

But why can Manchester United do it? That's because they have Bruno in their ranks.

Everyone was running according to their own routes, but Bruno's running range was very large, even very large, almost covering the entire stadium.

His running connects his teammates who are running according to their respective routes.

For example, if the right back wants to pass the ball to the forward, usually he would use a long diagonal pass, but this kind of pass is not very accurate and can be easily detected by the opponent. Because your long pass will definitely be passed to the player on the left side, which is relatively easier to defend.

But with Bruno, the right back can transition the football to Bruno, and then Bruno will send the football over by passing or dribbling.

This way, the accuracy will be higher and it will not be easy to be intercepted by the opponent. There will also be more options available. I can achieve the ultimate goal through the pass between two players, or I can bring the ball over by myself. In addition, the opponent will not know where I am going to pass the ball or what I am going to do, which increases the difficulty for the defense.

When the ball is passed to Bruno's feet, Manchester United's offense has many possibilities, and Real Madrid's defense also has to face more options.

………………

A long pass is a multiple-choice question with only one answer, but passing to Bruno is a multiple-choice question with multiple answers.

This is Bruno's role in Manchester United's tactical system.

If Bruno didn't have unstoppable physical fitness, excellent overall perspective, and excellent passing and ball-handling skills, this tactic would not be possible.

Bruno is so unique that Manchester United has unique football.

Manchester United used their speed to put constant pressure on Real Madrid.

Real Madrid seems to be in a bit of a mess during this period. Their offense can't get going because they have to spend more energy on defense.

When they lost the ball in the front court, they didn't even have time to organize a siege in the front court, and they had to quickly return to defense. If they didn't return to defense, there would be a lot of space behind them.

It's not like they haven't done this before. After losing the ball, they didn't return to defense immediately, but surrounded the opponent. As a result, the opponent passed the ball before they could surround them. Then they launched a quick attack, and the back defense was empty. Bruno chose any point in the frontcourt to threaten the goal guarded by Navas.

If it weren't for Navas' outstanding performance, they would have fallen behind.

Bruno saw the current situation of Real Madrid. He believed in "killing while you are sick" and knew that if he wanted to score, it was now.

Real Madrid was overwhelmed by Manchester United's fast football. Maybe Zidane had made careful preparations for this game, but it was obvious that Real Madrid players underestimated their opponent. They did not expect Manchester United's football to be so fast!

If they missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for Real Madrid to score again after they had recovered and made adjustments.

Bruno made up his mind and began to look for opportunities.

………………

Real Madrid's defense is not solid.

The two central defenders Ramos and Varane play an important role in Real Madrid's defense, but they also have their own responsibilities in offense.

Especially their central defender captain Ramos. When the team is unable to open up the situation, Ramos will move forward to assist in the attack. His forward movement is a very powerful weapon that often produces miraculous results.

Ramos, nicknamed "Water Lord", has a strong personal attacking power. Zidane often uses him as a center forward when the game is in a stalemate. Last season, the Real Madrid captain had an outstanding performance with 10 goals and 2 assists. This season, he also has 5 goals and 1 assist.

Not only in the club, but also in the Spanish national team, Ramos' scoring ability is also very much needed by the national team.

When the team is in trouble, it is often his goals that open the door to victory for the team.

Now Real Madrid and Manchester United are in a stalemate, and even have a tendency to lose. Ramos will definitely rush up to join the attack, and then it will be Manchester United's chance.

Bruno naturally understood Ramos' characteristics and ideas very well, and he was just waiting for Ramos to rush up and participate in the attack.

………………

In fact, Ramos was indeed planning to attack, and Real Madrid was now at a disadvantage.

Yes, I was at a disadvantage. It is very rare to be at a disadvantage in a game.

As the team captain, Ramos wants to reverse this situation!

Manchester United has studied almost all of Real Madrid's offensive players. Modric was being watched by Kante, who had previously made a flying tackle that was almost a foul and knocked Modric to the ground with the ball. The referee only gave him a verbal warning and did not issue a card. Kante thus showed Modric his strength and dominance at the front of the penalty area.

Ronaldo was entangled by Bruno. Although he was able to break free, it became more and more difficult each time and it took too long, which was not conducive to Real Madrid's overall attack.

As for Kroos, Isco, Benzema and others, they were all trapped in Manchester United's overall defense.

Currently in the frontcourt, the offensive and defensive order is balanced.

To put it bluntly, this balance is a stalemate, which is not beneficial to Real Madrid and must be broken.

Inserting from behind is an important means to break this deadlock.

Ramos was observing, waiting for the right moment to make a run.

………………

Manchester United had just ended an attack and the players quickly returned to defense.

This is their characteristic. After completing the attack and creating a dead ball, they will never stay in the front court for a moment and all retreat to their defensive positions. When attacking, they are like a raging flood pouring down, and when retreating, they are like the ebbing tide and withdraw cleanly in an instant.

Navas kicked the ball to the front court, and Bruno had the upper hand in the header with Modric and headed the ball back.

The ball fell at Casemiro's feet. When he was about to pass the ball forward again, he heard Ramos's voice behind him: "Carlos! Pass the ball to me!"

Casemiro knew that Ramos was about to rush forward, so he turned around and passed the ball to Ramos, then ran back to Ramos' position to help him fill the position.

Ramos came up with the ball.

Bruno's eyes lit up on the other side.

The opportunity is coming!

So what if Casemiro is a defensive midfielder? He doesn't take this guy seriously at all. He is a defensive midfielder, not a full-time central defender.

………………

Facing Harry Kane's interception, Ramos just changed direction and accelerated to shake him off.

As a Spanish central defender, Ramos has very rare and delicate footwork.

Bruno turned his head and looked for Ronaldo, who was waiting on the wing. Ramos did not necessarily not pass the ball to Ronaldo, this was not certain, Bruno decided to choose an appropriate position, he ran to the position between the wing and the center, just in front of Ronaldo, he used this position to force Ramos not to pass the ball to Ronaldo.

If you pass the ball, I'll steal it.

I believe that with Ramos' football awareness, it is impossible that he is unaware of this.

Then he gestured to Kante to follow Modric. This forced Ramos to rush forward with the ball. When he reached the front of the penalty area, he had no way to rush.

After Ramos passed Harry Kane, there were only Manchester United's two midfielders in front of him.

He looked around and saw Bruno was paying attention to Ronaldo. His intention was too obvious. He was standing in front of the passing line between him and Ronaldo, and he kept looking back at Ronaldo. If he wasn't trying to guard against Ronaldo, what was he doing? If he passed the ball to him, it would be right in the opponent's hands.

He looked to the other side and saw Kante following Modric closely.

Further out, Kroos, Benzema and Isco are not in the best position to receive the ball.

There was an obvious blank corridor in front of him. In this corridor, no Manchester United player could reach the front of their penalty area and face the opponent's central defender directly...

This is a huge temptation. As long as the breakthrough is successful, it can disrupt Manchester United's defense.

………………

Ramos didn't think there was any trap. Even if there was, he could pass the ball quickly and get away calmly.

Real Madrid's overall ability can guarantee this.

Thinking of this, he made a fake move to pass the ball to Ronaldo, tricking Bruno into taking a step back, and then he dribbled the ball forward in a straight line and broke through!

"Ramos! He breaks through with the ball! He goes in!"

"This is a style of attack that Real Madrid excels at! The central defenders go in from the back and disrupt the opponent's defense!"

"Manchester United's defence didn't seem to expect Ramos to go forward like that... they didn't quite know what to do."

But in fact, Manchester United players are almost sick of watching the game videos of Real Madrid, so how could they not know the characteristics of Ramos and Varane?

Kante saw Ramos moving forward and rushed up immediately.

When he appeared within the distance that Ramos could feel, Ramos passed the ball to Modric and continued running forward.

Two over one!

Modric didn't stop the ball but passed it directly back to him, like a wall.

When Ramos received the ball, he was already facing Manchester United's central defender.

This is a very dangerous distance, certainly for Manchester United.

Here he can play various cooperation with the flexible forwards of Real Madrid. As long as he runs into the open space, he can kick a through ball.

Or he doesn't need to look at the movements of his forward teammates at all, and just pushes the pass into the open space. If he can catch it, it will be a winning goal.

Can't catch it? The chance of not catching it is too low. Real Madrid players have played together for so many years, how could they not know how to take advantage of such an opportunity?
