Chapter 1416 True Confrontation
Neymar had no choice but to give up the shot.
But Neymar showed the potential of the king of the ball. Although the crowd in front of him was full of Real Madrid players, he found a passing line in the opponent's siege and passed the ball diagonally to James Rodriguez. s.
But at this time, many Real Madrid players have already returned to the defense. James Rodriguez forced a shot. The football hit the defensive player Ramos. Casillas attacked the football that became soft after Ramos refraction Hugged in his arms, he ended Liverpool's attack this time.
The Sky commentator exclaimed: "Neymar! Fantastic possession! ...James Rodriguez shoots! But it didn't work, there was no space in front of him to shoot, Iker Casillas hugged the football !"
"In fact, compared to Liverpool's offense, I am more surprised that Liverpool actually played offensive football in the Champions League final! They and Real Madrid played against each other in this peak match! How many years has it been since the Champions League? Something I've never seen before!"
It is not uncommon to play a confrontational game, but it is very rare to dare to play a confrontational game in a big scene like the Champions League final!It doesn't just require one club to have the courage, but two clubs have to choose to do so in order to have a wonderful game.
"No matter who wins or loses in this game, they are worthy of respect from the fans! They will dedicate a wonderful and memorable Champions League final to the fans!" the commentator of Sky TV said loudly.
…………
The UEFA executives in the stands all showed smiling faces. If there is anyone who wants the Champions League final to be exciting more than the fans, it is undoubtedly the UEFA executives.
Only when the Champions League final becomes exciting can it attract more fans' attention!Only then can the Champions League buy a higher broadcast fee!
Platini was wondering if he had suppressed Liverpool a bit too much.As long as Liverpool can often dedicate such wonderful games in the Champions League, it is not impossible for me to forget some of the unpleasant past.
…………
Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas threw the ball and launched an attack, but Liverpool did not back down in their own half to guard against death. Liverpool players quickly stepped in to press, not only the forwards pressed, but all three fronts were pressing.
Real Madrid's high-position press against Liverpool is obviously a little unprepared. Although they thought that Liverpool would press high, they didn't expect Liverpool to be so brave?Or adventure?
Liverpool's press is equivalent to pressing across the board.
Isn't Liverpool afraid that a long pass from their side will penetrate their defense?
It's just that no matter how you say it, now the Real Madrid players are in a hurry under Liverpool's fierce press, let alone counterattacking Liverpool, they can't even control the football under their feet.In the end, central defender Ramos could only pass the football back to goalkeeper Casillas.
Casillas originally wanted to pass the ball short to his teammates and reorganize the offense, but just after stopping the football, he found Lewandowski pounced like a wolf.
Casillas didn't dare to take risks anymore. Although he said that he was about [-]% sure to pass the football before Lewandowski arrived, isn't there still a [-]% risk!Lewandowski can take risks, but Casillas as a goalkeeper can't take risks.
Casillas could only drive to the frontcourt with a big kick.
Because of too much pursuit of passing speed, the passing is not accurate at all, and the teammates can only rely on their teammates to fight for it.
C Ronaldo and Bell are both going forward at high speed, trying to catch up with the football.
Although Liverpool's current goalkeeper is not Neuer, Navas is not one of those goalkeepers who only dare to stand on the goal line and not shoot. He was standing in the penalty area. When he saw the football flying over, he attacked decisively and grabbed the C · Before Ronaldo and Bale arrive, a big foot destroys the football over the touchline.
…………
Sky TV commentator: "When Neuer left Liverpool and moved to Bayern Munich, when Courtois returned to Liverpool with the best goalkeeper award in La Liga, everyone thought Courtois would become Liverpool's well-deserved main goalkeeper. .Who would have thought that Keylor Navas would force Courtois to share the main goalkeeper position with him?"
"Perhaps when Navas was just the main player, some people would criticize Levi for choosing a goalkeeper who was a substitute in La Liga last season as Liverpool's main player in the Champions League, but now let's look at Navas' performance! At the beginning Those doubters may now have to worship Levi’s insight! Look at Navas’s performance, he is both bold and safe.”
Carragher, who was a guest next to him, sighed and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, next season, Liverpool will only have Courtois or Keylor Navas in their squad."
…………
In football, the pace of the game is still very fast.
Real Madrid quickly opened the ball, but the football was quickly broken under the pressure of Liverpool players.Gerrard made a long diagonal pass, looking for Hazard who was advancing at high speed on the wing.
Although Khedira realized that Gerrard's pass was for Hazard, he was not Hazard's opponent in terms of speed. He was accelerated by Hazard and passed him.
Coentrao caught up and raced with Hazard. Hazard was not sure that he could be faster than Coentrao with the ball, but he had teammates to help him.
With a sweep of his right foot, Hazard passed the football to his teammate Neymar, and ran without the ball to cut the open space.
Coentrao has no choice. If he goes with Hazard, Neymar can lead the inside cut without defense.The threat of Neymar has been clearly seen just now, Coentrao left Hazard and rushed towards Neymar.
But Coentrao also kept an eye out and let Neymar pass the ball to Neymar.
Neymar raised his right foot slightly and made a pass.Coentrao raised his foot to block the first time, but he found that he was cheated, Neymar dunked the ball, and only passed the ball at this time, and it was a humiliating pass.Neymar poked with his left foot and the ball passed between Coentrao's legs.
Wear crotch!
However, Real Madrid's defense is not in vain. Pepe rushed out suddenly, before Hazard, stretched out his foot and destroyed Neymar's pass out of the sideline.
Although the ball went out of the sideline and the danger was eliminated, the Real Madrid fans at the scene still exclaimed one after another nervously.
They know very well that if Hazard was really allowed to get the football just now, he would be one-on-one with Pepe, and he still has several teammates in the penalty area. In addition to choosing to shoot, Hazard can also choose to pass the ball. to teammates.
Ancelotti, who was on the sidelines, was very dissatisfied with the team's defense. He is an Italian coach and pays great attention to the team's tactics.
The reason why Ancelotti formed a 4-3-3 formation today is not purely for the team's offense, on the contrary, he also worked hard on defense.
In the defense, two lines of defense are used to defend the penalty area, and the highly mobile Pepe and Ramos are arranged to cover the front of the penalty area to prevent Alonso and others from falling into a one-on-one dangerous situation on the defensive end.Ancelotti made up for the defensive vacuum created by the lack of full-time interceptors in Real Madrid's midfield by integrating the position of the ball, space, players and opponents.
Although "Angel" Di Maria is famous for his offense, Ancelotti's requirements for him are not only to get the ball and plug in, he will also use his speed to entangle the opponent and delay Liverpool's attack speed.
The reason why Carvajal and Coentrao were arranged to start today's game, instead of Marcelo and Arbeloa, in addition to the conflict between Arbeloa and Casillas, there is also hope that the speed of the two Able to contain Liverpool's counterattack.
Judging from the game to the present, although it cannot be said that Ancelotti's arrangement has no effect at all, it definitely did not reach the level that Ancelotti hoped to see.
