Green Journey

Chapter 556 Another shot!
In front of the penalty area, the panting Modric put his hands on his hips, shook his head repeatedly, and looked at Chu Zheng with a look of disbelief.

Casemiro and others also had constipated expressions, and they felt deeply humiliated when Chu Zheng penetrated them continuously.

But apart from feeling humiliated, they felt more helpless in their hearts.

In the process of defending Chu Zheng just now, they all felt as if every step they made was in Chu Zheng's calculations and was seen through in advance.

Cristiano Ronaldo silently watched Chu Zheng celebrating with his teammates, filled with wonder.

Chu Zheng's extraordinary performance just now was so amazing.

He knew very well how difficult Modric's defense was, but when he met Chu Zheng, he was still passed through his crotch, giving people the feeling of being made of paper.

Especially when Marseille spins through Kroos, his flexibility and coordination are amazing. It is completely unlike what a person with a height of 185cm can do.

At this moment, Ronaldo became more and more curious about how Chu Zheng maintained the flexibility of his body while increasing his body strength.

On the sidelines, Zidane could no longer laugh at this time and felt extremely helpless.

Seeing that the morale and mentality of the Manchester City players were about to be destroyed by them, they never thought that Chu Zheng would recover one by relying on his personal ability.

And this goal is bound to once again inspire the confidence of Manchester City players, making the next situation once again unknown.

For Chu Zheng, Qi Da's inner evaluation of his ability was now at a higher level.

As a former midfield master, Zidane is very aware of the horror of Chu Zheng's breakthrough.

Wearing one crotch can be said to be luck and a lack of concentration on the part of the defensive player, but not having enough defense, but two or three is not that simple.

Zidane was amazed by Chu Zheng's ability to seize opportunities.

Even if the top defensive player makes a move during a game, that is often when he is most vulnerable.

But even though many offensive players know this truth, they may not be able to catch this fleeting flaw of defensive players in sports battles.

That requires strong overall strength.

But Chu Zheng did it.

Modric, Casemiro, and Cross were crotch-pierced in succession, which meant that Chu Zheng caught the defense's vulnerable moment every time.

Even the crotch blocked by Marcelo's sliding shovel, Zidane felt that Chu Zheng did it on purpose. He knew Marcelo would come to block it, so after passing Kroos, he kicked up and hit the ground.

Looking away and looking to the side, Zidane suddenly laughed when he saw Guardiola had returned to the coaching bench and was talking to Arteta and Torrent.

Guardiola's lineup that can advance, attack, and retreat can defend is not without solutions.

The key to the crackdown lies in Stones.

In Manchester City's offense, Stones has to move forward as a connecting point for the team's midfield and frontcourt. When retreating, he needs to position himself as a central defender for defense.

But Stones is not a very fast centre-back.

It takes time for him to attack from the front and defend in position.

During this period, whether the player in Manchester City's midfielder position goes to the left or right to cover, there will be a gap in the ribs on the other side.

Therefore, to break Guardiola's tactics, we first need a very strong midfielder to get the ball back from the feet of Manchester City players.

Secondly, two wings with excellent speed and shooting skills are needed to carry out forward counterattacks, specializing in the rib space on both sides of Manchester City's midfielder.

As long as they can do these two things, it will be difficult for Manchester City to defend threats on the left and right sides at the same time.

But it's not easy to do this.

Casemiro is tough enough, but in today's defense it is rare to successfully steal from the feet of Manchester City players.

There were even less successful interceptions. Manchester City's passing rate was too fast, giving Casemiro no time to get close.

To deal with Guardiola's tactics, time is everything. Otherwise, once the Manchester City players chase back and get into the defense, then win the ball through pressing and slowly advance forward to develop the offensive, the rhythm of the game will always be controlled. In the hands of Manchester City.

In addition, there is a relatively stupid way.

That means using physical strength to press tirelessly.

The physical energy consumption of Manchester City's two midfielders on the court is huge due to Guardiola's tactical requirements.

Stones needs a wide range of vertical runs to maintain offense and defense, and the players in the midfielder position behind him also need to frequently move left and right to protect the ribs.

So as long as they work tirelessly to grab it, coupled with the physical decline of Chu Zheng and De Bruyne in Manchester City's frontcourt, the pressure on Manchester City's offensive and defensive ends will be huge.

In terms of physical fitness, Zidane still has great confidence in the players.

His rotation plan throughout the season allowed almost every main player like Modric to get adequate rest.

But at the same time, Zidane is also worried that he will frequently lose position due to high-intensity pressing, allowing Manchester City to take advantage of the loophole.

However, just as Zidane was thinking about whether to use these two methods against Manchester City in the next game, he suddenly saw the fourth official on the sidelines holding up a substitution sign.

Fernandinho replaces Yaya Toure.

Zidane suddenly laughed so helplessly.

Guardiola's counter-substitution in the midfielder position is to replenish the physical strength of Manchester City's midfielder and solve the hidden danger that may arise due to insufficient physical fitness of the midfielder and unable to cover the rib space on both sides.

Not long after, Benzema kicked the ball out.

The game restarted, as Zidane expected. After recovering a goal, Manchester City's morale was greatly boosted and their mental outlook was completely new. The previous anxious mentality of being two goals behind disappeared without a trace.

In the 75th minute of the game, Manchester City took advantage of the situation to attack.

In front of the bottom line of the left rib cage in the Manchester City penalty area, Ederson received a pass from Otamendi on the wing and was oppressed by Benzema.

Ederson didn't hesitate to meet the ball and drive towards the center circle.

On the arc of the center circle on the right side of Real Madrid's half, Aguero and Casemiro came to the landing point at the same time to compete for the top.

The result was no surprise. The ball was cleared by Casemiro in front of Aguero.

Casemiro originally wanted to push to Cross in front of Aguero, but due to Aguero's interference, he directly pushed to De Bruyne in front of Cross' right kick-off point.

De Bruyne immediately moved forward along the center after receiving the ball.

He first leaned towards Chu Zheng's left side, but when he saw Modric rushing over quickly and cutting off his passing line to Chu Zheng, De Bruyne turned around and leaned towards the right side of the ribs.

Entering Real Madrid's 30-meter area, De Bruyne fired the ball to the right.

Sterling received the ball in the upper right corner of the penalty area and started to cut inside.

Facing Sterling, who was swaying left and right, Marcelo didn't dare to attack, and he didn't dare to stretch his feet after being forced into the penalty area.

In the blink of an eye, Walker came up, directly set up the edge along the edge of the penalty area, and instantly snatched Marcelo away.Sterling also dribbled the ball laterally at the same moment and continued to cut inside.

Facing Casemiro, who was filling in in front of him, Sterling found that he couldn't break through, so he decisively passed the ball back to the right rib at the top of the arc.

De Bruyne followed up and fired directly.

Suddenly the ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball.

Next to the right post, Navas fell to the left, blocked it with both hands, and the ball was saved again.

"Bluff!!!!!!!!!!!!" In an instant, the stands on all sides exclaimed, followed by warm applause from the Manchester City fans in the stands.

"Manchester City is indeed alive." Fan Zhiyi said with a smile in the box.

On the sidelines, Zidane saw that Manchester City's offense became fierce again, and he immediately called Gareth Bale from the bench.

2 minutes later, Bell replaced Benzema.

The goal also came after Real Madrid made this substitution.

In the 79th minute of the game, Real Madrid faced four players from Real Madrid on the left side of the backcourt. De Bruyne, Walker, who came in from behind, and Aguero, who was pulled to the wing to meet, relied on tacit passing passes to the goalkeeper. Push forward.

De Bruyne advanced along the wing to receive Aguero's cross, and after attracting Marcelo, De Bruyne immediately knocked the ball back, and played a one-two with Aguero in a small space.

Seeing the ball being passed back to him, De Bruyne immediately started and forced his way past Marcelo to get the ball.

Outside the penalty area, the moment De Bruyne receives the ball, he is about to be trapped on the sideline by Marcelo behind him and Ramos pushing out from the penalty area.

Seeing that the space around him would be compressed if he continued to move forward, De Bruyne stabilized his center of gravity, raised his right foot and passed directly.

At the same time, at the end of the penalty area on the left side of the arc, Chu Zheng next to Carvajal suddenly ejected and pressed into the penalty area.

Sane, who was at the top of the arc on the right side of Chu Zheng, also started to move forward at the same time, firmly attracting Varane beside him.

However, Varane can keep up with Sane, but Carvajal cannot keep up with Chu Zheng.

Carvajal was constantly hit by Chu Zheng and Sane in the first half. He can be said to be the most physically exhausted among the 11 players on Real Madrid.

In the second half, due to Real Madrid's comprehensive counterattack, although he got a rest, he was ultimately unable to make ends meet.

In full view of everyone, Carvajal was instantly thrown away by Chu Zheng, and the distance between them became wider and wider.

On the right side of the penalty spot, Sane glanced at the ball flying across the air on the right, and he immediately judged that De Bruyne's ball was not for him.

But even so, he jumped up and disrupted Varane's judgment.

The next second, the ball flew over the heads of Sane and Varane and went straight to Chu Zheng on the left side of the penalty spot.

Chu Zheng saw that Varane had quickly turned around. He knew very well that once he stopped the ball, as long as he delayed for a second, Varane and Carvajal behind him could double-team him.

So he was heartbroken, slowed down and completed a turn at the same time. With his back to the Real Madrid goal, he fell backwards facing the falling ball. His rising right foot accurately hit the ball that happened to be in the air on his left front. On the ball, the timing was perfect.

At this moment, fans all over the world have a common action, which is to open their eyes wide and open again.

"Chu Zheng!!!!!!!!!"

"Knock the door!!!!!!!!!!!!" He Wei's voice was so high-pitched that it was difficult to tell how many musical notes his suddenly raised voice spanned in an instant.

In front of the goal line, Navas felt a white light flash past his eyes. He only had time to tilt his body slightly to the left, and the ball was already in the goal behind him.

"Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"It's so GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Wow!!!! The ball went in!!!! Beautiful!!!!!!! Chu Zheng!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Chu!!!!!!!!!"

"Wonderful Barb!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Mamma Mia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"..."

The moment the goal was scored, the commentators from various countries in the on-site commentary stands went crazy, and the roar was even crazier than the fans.

In the penalty area, Sane saw Chu Zheng sucking the ball in with a method between an overhead hook and a side hook. His first reaction was not to celebrate, but to hold his head with both hands.

Chu Zheng got up from the ground immediately and glanced at the ball that was still bouncing in the Real Madrid goal. At this moment, he felt as if his whole body was soaked in toilet water, and his soul seemed to be ventilated. He was so happy that he couldn't help but of.

Then Chu Zheng jumped high on the spot, punched the air hard with a blushing face, turned around and ran towards Guardiola on the sidelines after landing.

On the sidelines, Zidane witnessed Chu Zheng's magical hook. His first reaction was to hold his head in his hands, with shock written on his face.

On the court, at this moment, all the Real Madrid players felt as dazed as the fans in the stands.

Ronaldo looked distractedly at Chu Zheng, who had jumped onto Guardiola's back.

Modric put his hands on his hips and looked up at the closed ceiling of the Millennium Stadium. He felt that his breathing was not smooth, and there seemed to be a suffocating element in the air.

In the penalty area, Carvajal was helpless and furious. He threw his hands and cursed repeatedly. He didn't know whether he was cursing himself or whom.

Navas also stood blankly in front of the goal, his eyes filled with helplessness.

Chu Zheng didn't even have time to react to this ball. Looking at Chu Zheng in the celebrating crowd on the sidelines, Navas muttered to himself: "What a monster."

"A miraculous reversal!!!" In the commentary stand, He Wei couldn't sit still at all. He shouted into the microphone beside his mouth: "In just 6 minutes, Manchester City chased two goals in a row."

"When both sides return to the same level, everything has to start again."

"At this moment, I can't be sure which side will win in this game, but I can guarantee that all fans watching this game today will be the beneficiaries."

"There was a saying on the football field that it is called the unnamed game in the ancient competition."

"That means that in an important competition, both sides have entered the finals, and the championship trophy is close at hand. In this case, it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses. Both sides will be more cautious, so it is difficult to play exciting offensive and defensive scenes."

"But today, this pattern is broken."

"Real Madrid and Manchester City staged a goal battle. They showed people all over the world that finals are not all dull and boring." He Wei became more and more excited as he spoke.

In the stands, after a brief period of frustration, Real Madrid fans cheered up again and began to cheer for the players on the field.

Not to be outdone, Manchester City fans cheered for Chu Zheng and the others with wilder and louder shouts.

For a time, fans from both sides shouted wildly. The huge momentum of Manchester and the wild wind of Iberia brought the atmosphere of the entire Millennium Stadium to the height of blood expansion.
