Nine Hundred and Eighty-Fourth to Attack

If you only look at the score in the first half, Manchester City got a not-so-good result.

Two to one, giving Real Madrid a valuable away goal.

If this score is maintained until halftime, although Manchester City won the first leg, the second leg is still very dangerous, especially if it is a hell-level away game like the Bernabeu, the challenge is even greater.

Fortunately, there is still a second half of the game.

After the players returned to the locker room, they were all in good spirits and in good spirits.

Obviously, this is the effect of Su Dong's second goal. Without that goal, Manchester City was tied 1-1 by Real Madrid in the first half, and the players' mood would be completely different.

After seeing the situation of the players, Guardiola was basically satisfied with the morale of the team, and did not say anything more, but raised some problems encountered by Manchester City in the first half of the attack.

He insisted that Manchester City in the second half should continue to attack and must strive for more goals.

"Our three lines must maintain the pressure on Real Madrid, and we must not give the opponent a chance to breathe. We must strive to win the opponent in one go, establish an advantage in the first round of the home game, and then take the initiative in the second round."

Knockout is to play targeted tactics, whoever has the initiative, whoever has more chances.

Manchester City itself has a tactical style that is dominated by me. It seldom changes the team's style and tactics according to the opponent, and only makes targeted adjustments in some details.

"At the same time, our two flanks need to be more active, and the flank attack in the first half was not enough."

Guardiola did not name names, but also made criticisms, mainly because the team's side attack did not work, which caused the team to fall into a stalemate in the first half, and Real Madrid's counterattacks were not many, but it happened. a goal.

Sometimes, football games are like this. There are many opportunities, but it does not mean that you will be able to score goals, and sometimes it seems that there are no opportunities, but you will be able to score goals.

Guardiola focused on the team's attack in the first half and made some comments, especially on the wing.

Arbeloa's defensive ability is obvious to all. When he was at Liverpool, he was known for freezing Messi. After coming to Real Madrid, he soon became the main right back of Pellegrini's command, and also a Spain international.

Coentram is both offensive and defensive,

He played very well in the Portuguese national team, and was therefore bought by Real Madrid with a lot of money. His joining also changed the weakness and vacancy of Real Madrid before.

It can be said that with these two full-backs and the double midfielder formed by Khedira and Xavi Alonso, Real Madrid's back line is still very solid.

Sanchez and Di Maria are indeed very capable individually, but it is really difficult to drive the ball to open up Real Madrid's defense.

Especially when the full-backs can't come forward more to help.

As for the full-backs, there is also a lot of pressure. Marcelo is facing Benzema, and Zabaleta's right is facing Cristiano Ronaldo. They are too risky to press up and get penetrated in minutes. Behind him, no one dared to be careless.

This is also the difficulty of the Champions League knockout.

Every matchup is a dialogue between powerful players, and every opponent is a strong team with outstanding strength.

And at this time, having a superstar with outstanding strength can make a difference.

Whether it was Real Madrid in the first half, using the cooperation of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo to create a free kick in the frontcourt, or Su Dong's two goals, to a certain extent, it is the player's personal ability A typical example of rewriting the trend of the game.

...

As the team's number one star and the team's captain, Guardiola also wanted to hear Su Dong's thoughts at this time.

After being named by the head coach, the other players all looked at Su Dong in unison.

In this dressing room, Sudong has more prestige than Guardiola.

Seeing everyone's eyes and feeling the eager anticipation in their eyes, Su Dong smiled slightly.

"Actually, it's not that serious." Su Dong said with a relaxed smile.

*** said that strategically, we should despise the opponent, and tactically, we should pay attention to the opponent.

Real Madrid is very strong, but Manchester City is definitely not bad, and it is still at home.

"I think Pep is right. Our offense in the first half was not good. A very important reason was that they received both inside and outside the penalty area, resulting in a lot of defensive pressure in the middle."

Su Dong didn't say it clearly, but everyone knew what the scene was like.

In the first half, there were often three or four defensive players around Su Dong. On the one hand, Real Madrid's tactics were mainly defensive. Su Dong shared the defensive pressure.

"I think we should try to open Real Madrid's defense as much as possible in the second half, and leave Real Madrid's two central defenders to me!"

When Su Dong said this, his expression was full of confidence, so that everyone could feel his confidence in his own strength.

This is the strength of a top superstar!

To have such a superstar is to be able to stabilize the military at a critical moment, so that the team has a backbone and a direction. Otherwise, if Aguero or Dzeko are replaced, Ramos and Albi will not be guaranteed. Orr, Manchester City still has to grind slowly in the second half.

Guardiola agreed with Su Dong's suggestion, and he was also full of confidence in Su Dong's strength.

…………

…………

The game restarted in the second half.

Manchester City used the kick-off to slowly control the ball and slowly advance towards Real Madrid's half.

Real Madrid still adopted the tactics of the first half, trying to wait for the opportunity with a steady hold.

After the adjustment at halftime, the players of the home team began to take the wing more actively, especially after Real Madrid's 30-meter area in the penalty area, they basically took the wing first, with Sanchez and Di Maria to instigate the offensive.

Sudong is more cruising in the penalty area, suppressing Ramos and Albiol, ready to receive passes from the wing and outside the penalty area.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City launched wave after wave of attacks, constantly creating threats.

In the 51st minute, after seeing an opportunity, Marcelo quickly moved forward, plugged in on the left side of the set, and after receiving a pass from David Silva, he stayed close to the left line and forced a breakthrough. , got rid of Abeloa, and made a cross to the front of the penalty area.

The sudden insertion of the Brazilian left back disrupted the deployment of Real Madrid. Benzema did not follow the defense to the penalty area, leaving Marcelo in an unguarded state. This cross was also given very accurately. The Real Madrid defenders in the penalty area were somewhat underprepared, but it was Su Dong who had the fastest reaction. After Marcelo received the ball, he was ready.

When Marcelo made a cross from the bottom, Su Dong quickly got rid of Ramos and Albiol. Celo's cross headed to the left of the goal.

This made Casillas completely unable to save, especially after failing to block the ball in time behind him, and disarmed directly.

The ball went into the left side of the Real Madrid goal.

Three to one!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the fifty-first minute, in the fifty-first minute, Su Dong scored a hat-trick!"

"Three to one! Manchester City extend their lead even further!"

"It was a fantastic and at the same time a very sudden goal combination."

"Marcelo's sudden back attack caught Real Madrid's defenders by surprise. He almost didn't make a decent forward attack in the first half, but this sudden back attack was very deadly."

"Obviously, Guardiola must have made arrangements and adjustments during the half-time break, especially for the wing attack. Marcelo's forward move was very firm, without any hesitation, and forced to use speed after receiving the ball. Throwing away Abeloa, sent a wonderful assist for Sudong in the penalty area."

"Su Dong's diving to the top is also very beautiful, and Casillas' attack is a little slower."

"Three to one, now Real Madrid are in a very embarrassing situation."

"Although they had an away goal, they were at a disadvantage when they returned home with a score of 1-3."

"Now it's up to Pellegrini to choose another away goal? Or to keep the score firmly? You know, Manchester City's morale is very strong now. If the current status quo is maintained, Manchester City is likely to Going to score again."

...

Facts have proved that Manchester City really have such plans.

Everyone knows that the best schedule for the Champions League knockout stage is the first guest before the host.

Because the first round is on the road and the second round is at home, there are more opportunities to choose. Even if the first round stumbles, the second round can turn the situation around.

And all the teams that play at home in the first round will find it very troublesome. On the one hand, they want to get enough advantages in the first round, and on the other hand, they are worried about giving away goals to their opponents.

As a result, there is often an interesting situation in the Champions League knockout games, with the visiting team playing more aggressively than the home team.

I have to say that the away goals rule is another great invention in the history of the Champions League. It makes the knockout stage of the Champions League more thrilling and also greatly encourages goals.

Manchester City's mind is also very simple now. After giving the opponent an away goal, I will try my best to make up for it.

Three to one?

No, this score is not yet secure at the Bernabeu Stadium, so we must continue to attack without giving Real Madrid any chance to breathe, and strive to gain more lead in the first round of home games.

How much ahead is it to be stable?

God knows!

So keep attacking, keep attacking!

Real Madrid also quickly made adjustments. Pellegrini took the lead in making substitutions, replacing Kaka with Shaheen, and adopting a three-midfield approach. This seems conservative, but it is actually to increase the midfield. Take the ball and pass the ball to liberate the frontcourt offense.

Sure enough, after Pellegrini made the substitution, Real Madrid took the initiative to attack.

Whether in terms of staffing or from the team's traditions, Real Madrid has no reason to stick to it.

So, the game suddenly became better again.
