Chapter 1422 Marseille
Liverpool kicked off from the center circle and immediately attacked Real Madrid's wing.
Liverpool is simple and simple, and it is not simple or simple.The simplicity is because it relies on Neymar and James Rodriguez to use their speed and foot skills to break through.The great thing is that Hazard runs freely and pulls to the side to help them break through.It is not easy to say, because it is a test of the player's personal ability, not everyone can easily break through Real Madrid's side defense.
After the breakthrough, the Liverpool players decisively crossed the ball to find Lewandowski in the middle, or made a cross at a 45-degree angle.Liverpool has Lewandowski and Hazard in the middle, and Gerrard and Modric also frequently take turns to attack.
Liverpool's first attacking attempt was successful. Neymar and Hazard made a long-distance two-for-one. Hazard succeeded in assaulting Coentrao and crossing the ball near the baseline into the middle of the penalty area.
However, Neymar's breakthrough was too successful this time, so successful that he advanced faster than his teammates expected.Before Lewandowski and Hazard in the middle were able to kill the football, the football had passed.
He reached the football in front of James Rodriguez at the back point, but was killed by Carvajal in front of him, destroying the football with one kick.
Although Carvajal destroyed football, football went beyond the bottom line.
Referee Bjorn Kuipers awards a corner to Liverpool.
…………
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard came to take the corner.
Liverpool took this set-piece attack very seriously, with centre-backs Gary Cahill and Benatia both coming into the Real Madrid box for headers.
After the referee Bjorn Kuipers whistled, Gerrard did not kick the ball, but raised his hand to signal that he needed to adjust the football position.
Real Madrid players don't know what Gerrard is doing in their hearts. Do they want to harass us with this little trick?Innocent!
The Liverpool players knew that Gerrard did not want to disturb the Real Madrid players, but to send a tactical corner kick to his teammates.
The defensive full-back Ricardo Rodriguez suddenly sprinted towards the corner flag area. Gerrard sent the ball to Ricardo Rodriguez and he quickly cut into the penalty area.
With this cooperation, the Real Madrid players were caught off guard.
Ricardo Rodriguez took advantage of the fact that the Real Madrid players did not react, and passed the ball to the penalty area line with a straight kick.
The ball arrives, Gerrard arrives, and Real Madrid full-back Coentrao, the closest player to Gerrard, rushes towards the Liverpool captain to break the ball.But Coentrao was half a step late. Seeing that the two were about to collide, Gerrard stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled his right foot. A clever Marseille maneuver swayed Coentrao behind him.
This action stunned many people. Although Gerrard passed the ball very well and shot well, many people saw Gerrard as a tough guy. Such a wonderful breakthrough is not Gerrard. good at.
Many people don't actually know that Gerrard is not a strong man with empty strength.He played as a shadow striker in his early years, and later he was positioned as a midfielder on the right for a long time, then changed to a midfielder, and then moved back to play as a midfielder in his current position.
Being able to play as a full-back and a shadow forward, how could Gerrard not have any skills at his feet?
Gerrard's move completely messed up Real Madrid's defense.
Because Gerrard's breakthrough surprised the Real Madrid players, Gerrard was in a very favorable position at this time.
He's already inside the penalty area, but there are no Real Madrid players around him to defend him.He has the option to shoot inside the box.
Although it is said that the Real Madrid penalty area is now densely populated, there is also a famous saying in football that miracles can be done vigorously.Gerrard volleyed vigorously, and the hit was refracted on the player. Maybe it would be easier to score.If it hits a Real Madrid player, maybe he can get a penalty.
In addition to shooting, Gerrard was also able to pass the ball.Even though his current passing space is not large, if this player is Gerrard, the fans believe that he will be able to send a very threatening pass!
It's just that Gerrard hesitated at the end. He didn't want to waste this precious opportunity. He didn't have much confidence in shooting, and he didn't have much confidence in passing the ball either.
With just such a hesitation, Gerrard's loose playing space suddenly disappeared.
All of a sudden, three Real Madrid players rushed to surround Gerrard's three lines of defense.Gerrard still didn't dare to turn around with the ball, and took the ball with his back. Don't forget that Coentraon, who was swayed by Gerrard just now, was behind Gerrard. Maybe Coentraon was behind Gerrard and turned around For a moment, he took the opportunity to steal the ball.
This time Gerrard is in danger!
The Liverpool fans in the stands couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation. They didn't want the team's hard-won offensive opportunity to fail like this.
In the eyes of Real Madrid players, Gerrard has no room to shoot and pass at this time, and Gerrard is like a little sheep waiting to be slaughtered.But at this time, Gerrard calmly passed the football between the legs of Bell who was blocked.
Real Madrid's siege is a bit of a gamble, but because there are so many people coming up in an instant, the success rate of the siege is naturally high. However, if the siege fails, then there is a large unguarded area behind them .
"Be careful behind you!" the Spanish commentator exclaimed.
However, the Real Madrid players on the scene would definitely not hear his reminder, and even if they heard it, it would be of little significance.
Because when Gerrard passed the ball to the left front of the penalty area, Liverpool full-back Ricardo Rodriguez just killed it just right.Like a sharp knife, it instantly tore apart Real Madrid's defense.
Speaking of which, it is not that Real Madrid players have not considered the failure of the siege. For this reason, several offensive players in Liverpool, Lewandowski, Neymar, James Rodriguez and Hazard have a Real Madrid players, but who would have thought that Liverpool's real killer move is not any offensive player, let alone a midfielder, but a full-back!
Just because he didn't expect it, when Ricardo Rodriguez got the ball, he managed to face goalkeeper Casillas single-handedly.
Ramos quickly raised his right hand, signaling Ricardo Rodriguez to be offside like the referee.
In fact Ramos did not know if Ricardo Rodriguez was offside.But in the current situation of Real Madrid, he can't help him to say whether Ricardo Rodriguez is offside with his conscience.Regardless of whether the Swiss is offside or not, first raise your right hand to complain.
If the referee Bjorn Kuipers chooses to believe in himself, calling Ricardo Rodriguez for a foul could not be better.If the referee Bjorn Kuipers did not call the penalty, but still made Ricardo Rodriguez suspect that he was offside, and the shot was not firm enough, this would be a great thing.
Other Real Madrid players saw Ramos' move and immediately raised their right hands.
At this time, any Real Madrid player can raise his right hand to interfere with the referee and Ricardo Rodriguez, but only Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas cannot do so.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Barthez is a goalkeeper who likes to interfere with opponents with small moves. For example, in a game, he saw the opponent succeed in anti-offside and hit a single-handed ball into the penalty area.
What he did immediately was not to bend down and lower the center of gravity of his body to block the opponent's shot.Instead, he raised his right hand high, signaling the opponent to be offside.
As a result, the opponent ignored his small action and shot with a low and flat ball.
At this time, it was too late for Barthez to make a save, and he could only watch helplessly as the opponent scored easily.
After the game, Barthez became the laughing stock of the media, from the original goalkeeper to the parallel goalkeeper.
Casillas doesn't want to become the second Barthez, especially his current speech environment in Real Madrid is not very good. He has been sprayed as a cancer by many Real Madrid fans.
Casillas moved to the near corner for the first time, trying his best to block Ricardo Rodriguez.
