797 Chess Party
"Spectators, welcome back to the game. We see that the players from both teams have walked back into the stadium!"
With the commentator on the spot, I saw that the players of the two teams reappeared and quickly exchanged venues and set up formations and tactics in their respective halfs. From the scene, it seemed that neither team had changed.
"It's strange that Manchester United is still 433, Real Madrid is still 4231, and neither team has made any changes or adjustments!"
The live TV camera gave close-ups of the players of both teams, and found that all the players were the same as the first half, and there was no change.
"We were all speculating, thinking that tactical masters like Yang Cheng and Ferguson would make adjustments during the halftime break, but now it seems that there is no such sign, which makes us wonder, what are they thinking? Are they planning to continue the deadlock in the first half?"
With the referee's whistle and the game situation spread, everyone was surprised to find that Real Madrid, who took the lead in kicking off, was not in a hurry at all and continued to control the ball steadily. Even though they seemed unable to launch an effective attack on Manchester United, they were still chasing the ball.
Manchester United also used running to destroy Real Madrid's rhythm, and even used fouls to stop it.
The scene continued the stalemate in the first half, which made people incomprehensible.
"According to normal, both Yang Cheng and Ferguson should find ways to effectively break through the situation on the other side, but now it seems that they are not ready to change the deadlock. What's going on?"
The live TV footage first gave Yang Cheng in front of the home team coach's seat. He still wrapped his hands in front of his chest and stood on the side of the court. He looked very calm and confident. Benitez and Paul Bayer next to him were not very disturbed, but they just watched the game seriously.
In the coaching seat behind him, Tim Hank, Raul, Guti, Zidane and others were discussing and paying attention to something, and from time to time they would also look at the game situation and discuss it, but it was too far away to hear clearly what they were talking about.
Ferguson sat on the visiting team coach's seat, chewing gum, looking relish, and talking to the assistant beside him from time to time, even joking. It was really worrying that he should not swallow the gum into his stomach.
Although neither team changed during the halftime break, the situation on the scene gave people a sense of urgency that was about to come. Especially the players of the two teams, they were actively playing the game without any concessions, which seemed to give people a sense of determination that they would rather sacrifice than take a step back!
I believe that not only the fans in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium, but even the audience in front of the TV can feel the urgency. The situation is like a rubber band that is getting tighter and tighter, getting thinner and thinner. But no one knows when it will suddenly break with a bang.
But everyone is waiting for the moment of breaking!
Because this atmosphere is too depressing, it gives people a feeling of being too heavy and too solemn!
The players on the benches of the two teams frequently came out to warm up, and they couldn't tell who they were going to replace, and they didn't know when they would make a substitution. Maybe they were all setting up a suspicion array to confuse the other party, but who knows what cards they would play?
Time seems to be flowing in one percent of a second, making people feel that it is passing so slowly. Below 0:0 on the Big Red Scoreboard, time changes in seconds, very slowly.
"Yang Cheng once said that football matches are playing chess, and the head coach is a chess player. As a chess player, the most important thing is to be able to endure, withstand pressure, and remain calm at any time and anywhere, so that you can accurately judge the situation of each step and even make predictions in advance!"
"I suddenly want to tell Yang Cheng and Ferguson the two admirable chess players..." The commentator on the scene shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Please give us something straightforward, don't torture it!"
This should also represent the voice of all fans. They all want to see that kind of straightforward game, but the scene is stalemate now, no one takes advantage, no one suffers, and occasionally creates a few opportunities, but none of them are good opportunities, and they are not sure about them.
…………
…………
Although the game situation is very stalemate to the outsiders and even many professionals, for Yang Cheng, who has personally participated in this layout, the game is developing towards the favorable side of Real Madrid, as Manchester United is gradually retreating.
This kind of retreat is insignificant, and many people may not notice it for a while, but Yang Cheng saw it very clearly, so he almost didn't consider whether Ferguson saw it too. When he got the data about Gary Neville sent by Tim Hank behind him, he immediately made a substitution after confirming his thoughts.
Klose replaces David Silva to play!
"In the 56th minute, Yang Cheng finally couldn't help but make a substitution adjustment, using German striker Klose to replace Spanish midfielder David Silva. It seems that this should be a technical substitution adjustment!"
After David Silva and Klose hugged, they walked towards Yang Cheng. When the two hugged each other, Yang Cheng told him about the intention of substitution. The latter nodded to show his understanding, and then walked to the bench.
"Ferguson seems to be going to make a substitution. He called Park Ji-sung to the front and arranged adjustments and changes!" The live broadcast footage was also given to Manchester United's coaching seat. Ferguson pulled Park Ji-sung and was talking.
But after the game starts again, substitutions must wait for a dead ball before they can be played.
After completing the substitution adjustment, Real Madrid's tactics seemed to have changed a bit. German striker Klose was pushed to the front, Ronaldo was replaced by Yang Cheng to the right, Villa moved to the left, Kaka still occupied the front midfielder position, and there seemed to be no change, but Real Madrid quickly made a very threatening attack.
Real Madrid took the ball with Xavi Alonso in the middle, and the latter passed it to Delarede. The Spanish midfielder dribbled the ball forward. After being disturbed by Scholes, it was passed to Macon on the right. The latter was afraid of being double-teamed by Giggs and Rooney, so he passed it back to Ramos as soon as possible. Ramos was passed to Thiago Silva under the symbolic interference of Berbatov.
Thiago Silva dribbled the ball and inserted it diagonally to the left, attracting Benzema's attention, and immediately passed it to Marcelo on the side. The latter dribbled the ball forward with a very fast speed. He passed through Fletcher's defense zone along the left side, and the latter followed and chased back all the way. (")
Villa had also been on the left before, but after seeing Marcelo dribbling the ball forward and into the middle of Gary Neville, he moved to the middle of the left side of the England defender. When the Brazilian fullback quickly advanced to the frontcourt, under Fletcher's interference, he suddenly stopped suddenly, tricking Fletcher into stopping, losing his balance, and the ball passed to Villa's feet.
After Villa got the ball, he kicked back to the left behind Gary Neville.
Marcelo rushed to Gary Neville as fast as possible without the ball. The gap in speed between the young man and the veteran was instantly exposed, especially after 60 minutes of the game, Gary Neville's physical fitness was already in a serious condition.
After Fletcher turned around after a sudden stop, he saw that Marcelo had passed Gary Neville, got the ball and cut to the left side of Manchester United's penalty area. Ferdinand was blocked at this position at the first time, but Marcelo suddenly accelerated after an emergency stop, and shook past Ferdinand's position. Before Ferdinand could react, he immediately kicked the ball with his left foot.
If, under normal circumstances, Weis Brown should pay attention to Klose who inserted into the front point of the penalty area as soon as possible. This is true, and he did it, but he was blocked by Klose, who leaned against Weis Brown with his body, and Van der Sar stared at him tightly.
In this case, it is almost impossible for Klose to complete a header. Unless he can hit a far corner under the interference of Weiss Brown, the near corner will be easily saved by Van der Sar and even directly pushed into his arms. However, the difficulty of hitting the far corner is not something that ordinary people can do, so he chose to ferry.
The ball rubbed against the top of his head, crossed over Weiss Brown's head and fell.
Kaka, who hadn't entered the penalty area much just now, was swimming outside the penalty area. After seeing Weis Brown sticking to Klose, he didn't know how Klose would play this ball, but he just instinctively went to get a hole in Manchester United's defense line. So when Klose swung over, Kaka happened to be behind Weis Brown, in front of the right post.
Interestingly, Kaka's position was very close to the position where Benzema kicked at the beginning of the game. The difference was that Benzema got a low flat ball, while Kaka got a high ball swing. Kaka's heading ability was average and he could not think as much as Benzema did. He also had to consider the angle, so he directly hit a close angle against the ball.
The ball hit Kaka's head, turned a direction, and flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal.
Klose topped the ball very ordinary. After all, it was done under the interference of Weiss Brown, and the decision was in a hurry. However, Kaka was very close to the goal. As long as the ball was not high and not crooked, nine out of ten would definitely make it!
Van der Sar wanted to make a save, but it happened in an instant. Kaka's header went into the upper right corner of the goal before Van der Sar reacted, which was a blind spot!
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!"
With the shouts of the commentator on the scene, amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium, Kaka excitedly rushed out of Manchester United's penalty area, rushed out of the stadium, rushed to the bottom of the Real Madrid fans' stands, and raised his hands to the Real Madrid fans in the stands, as if he wanted to accept the cheers from them!
Kaka! Kaka! Kaka!!!
The Real Madrid fans in the stands were overwhelming, and they were shouting Kaka's name!
"This is a goal that completely broke the deadlock on the court!"
"From the cooperation between Marcelo and Villa on the left, and Klose's header, this is actually a typical team goal. Although Kaka has made a lot of contributions, this goal is the result of the Real Madrid team!"
Through repeated replays of slow motion, you can clearly see each step. From different angles, you can see that Ronaldo involves Evra on the right, causing Evra and Weis Brown to have a gap in the penalty area, and Kaka used this gap to score.
Undoubtedly, this is the credit of everyone's cooperation, not just a person!
"Gary Neville was completely defeated by Marcelo. He couldn't catch up with Marcelo in terms of speed, and seemed very slow and clumsy. Scholes and Giggs did not return to the penalty area to make a defense at the first time, which made Kaka easily insert it!"
"At the moment when Real Madrid suddenly played a fast break, they were able to use their own speed advantages to completely disconnect Manchester United's three lines, and then create a goal-scoring opportunity. This goal is accidental, but there is also a great necessity!"
Manchester United's speed is more reflected in counterattacks, but they are not achieved through overall advancement, but through Rooney, Benzema, and even Berbatov. The Bulgarian striker is more of a fulcrum, and he has no advantage in counterattacks at speed.
However, in the midfield and backcourt, the existence of the three elders made Manchester United easily disconnected once they were caught off guard. There was something happened that Giggs and Scholes did not watch Kaka in time.
"Real Madrid took the lead 1:0!" After the Real Madrid players celebrated, the live commentator smiled and said, "Now for Manchester United, the scene will definitely be more unfavorable, but the most important thing is not to equalize the score, but to stabilize the position first. Teams like Real Madrid are too good at taking advantage of the situation!"
The on-site commentator was right at all, Real Madrid is good at taking advantage of the situation!
The so-called momentum is actually a very illusory thing, but it can be reflected through rhythm.
The party who gains power can often take the initiative and control the rhythm, while the party who loses power must passively deal with it.
After Real Madrid scored a goal, Yang Cheng did not hesitate at all and asked all players to launch a round of attacks against Manchester United. Ferguson replaced Giggs with Park Ji-sung at the first time and replaced Gary Neville with O'Shea, further strengthening the stability on the defense line.
He knew Yang Cheng so well. In his opinion, Yang Cheng was a very bastard. Once he was in power, he would be unreasonable and would not let go if he didn't knock you down. Therefore, if he wanted to survive under Yang Cheng, he had to have enough strength.
However, with the momentum of scoring, Real Madrid launched a very strong offense, especially Klose, who had just started the field, performed very positively. After seeing that Villa's physical fitness was a bit poor, Yang Cheng immediately replaced Villa with Mata to strengthen the offensive force on the left.
Mata's job is to break through the wing and cross it, while Klose is looking for opportunities in the middle, which restrains the defensive attention and creates opportunities for Kaka and Ronaldo behind him.
In the 66th minute, Mata broke through Oshei on the left, and after two consecutive fake moves passed Oshei, he made a cross from the bottom.
However, the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Ferdinand immediately. Klose really had no advantage in front of Ferdinand. He could only watch the air bull destroy the ball and sighed when he looked at the ball.
But after the ball was out of the penalty area, it was controlled by Xavi Alonso, who immediately reached the right side. Drared shot with a long shot as soon as he got up. The kid's head was hard and his strength was strong enough. This shot suddenly hit him again.
Fortunately, Van der Sar's skills and reaction at the goal line were excellent, and he flew to hit the ball with one hand out of the baseline and corner kick.
Xavi Alonso took a corner kick, and Ramos was at the back point. Although he was defended by many Manchester United players, he still broke free from the entanglement and jumped up like a dry land. He headed the corner kick from Xavi Alonso to hit Manchester United's goal.
But Ramos's header that he was determined to win hit the crossbar above with a bang and popped out of bounds!
The Spanish defender was so upset that he wanted to put his head into the grass, and his feet swayed towards the sky to turn into a green onion, because he was too pursuing angle just now. If he pressed a little, maybe this ball would have!
Real Madrid players walked up one by one to comfort the guy who missed the opportunity. The latter was also very nervous and quickly recovered, retreated quickly, returned to his defensive area, and waited for Van der Sar to take the goal.
Both Yang Cheng and Ferguson still hold a substitution quota, and neither side seems to have given up.
"The situation in Manchester United is very unfavorable, but Ferguson's idea should be to get a goal away, so that even if he is scored by Real Madrid again, he will be behind 1:2. However, when they return to Old Trafford, they still have a chance to reverse the situation and eliminate Real Madrid."
Now that Real Madrid has scored a goal, the situation has been completely opened, and anyone’s mind and what plans are very clear.
Yang Cheng and Ferguson both held a final substitution quota and were waiting.
But just 70 minutes into the time, Real Madrid launched attacks again and again, putting huge pressure on Manchester United's defense line. Coupled with the physical energy consumption, the nerves between the players were tightened.
Ramos once robbed, cut off the ball to Berbatov and quickly passed it to Macon. The Brazilian right-back quickly advanced and fought back after getting the ball on the right. Real Madrid's midfield and frontcourt were also moving forward quickly, while Manchester United's defense line kept retreating.
Evra followed Ronaldo closely, who had become the sharp knife for Real Madrid's counterattack, and Macon immediately picked the ball past the Manchester United player who was chasing back and wanted to pass it to Ronaldo.
Evra and Ronaldo chased after him at the same time. The two were competing for speed, but just when Ronaldo was about to surpass him, Evra suddenly waved her hand and touched the half-high ball passing by him. The ball turned in a direction. Then he turned around immediately and pretended to stop the ball.
"Hey, his handball!!" Little Ronaldo raised his hands and pointed at Evra.
The referee caught up from behind, panting. Although Real Madrid's counterattack just now hit very quickly, he could clearly judge that it was indeed a handball, otherwise the ball would not have suddenly changed direction.
So he blew the whistle at the first time, but did not give a heavy penalty. He just showed Evra a yellow card and gave Real Madrid a direct free kick about 25 meters away from the goal, very close to the middle.
There is no doubt that Ronaldo stood at the free throw point without permission. This distance was just right for him!
Chapter completed!
