I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 198 Believe in yourself
In the 207th minute of the game, after De Bruyne and Zhao Jinge tried to hit the wall in a small area in the frontcourt, he suddenly sent a cross.

The football suddenly flew into the penalty area and spun to the back point. Mahrez hit the plane again in his high-speed shot after a high-speed attack.

The difficulty of shooting is indeed great, and there is also the state of preventing oneself from being offside at any time, coupled with Oblak's deterrent force, this kind of non-stop shooting, even professional veteran shooters may not be able to directly blast the ball to the goal. goal.

Guardiola sat on the sidelines of the field, watched another failed attack on the field, and touched the back of his head helplessly, but the expression on his face was not too disappointed.

In his opinion, the current Mahrez can be used to make up or as an attacker in the second row, but it is of course impossible to expect him to attack or do more things.

"Space, space, pull it out, create enough space for Zhao!"

Guardiola stood up from the coach's bench, watching everything on the field nervously, and kept chanting.

"Manchester City's offensive quality has begun to decline. It can be seen that the space for Manchester City to create shots is still relatively small.
Almost every shot they made was made abruptly after experiencing hand-to-hand combat with Atletico Madrid defenders, which obviously affected the quality of Manchester City's shots.

In fact, the first round was similar. The best chance was Mahrez's shot in front of the goal, but it was an unexpected gain after Manchester City's entire attack line played a wonderful match.

Other than that, you can only see the flashes of inspiration from these superstars. There are not many other opportunities, and they are not good.

Even if Atletico Madrid's defense in the open game is not perfect, it definitely makes Manchester City uncomfortable.

Guardiola and his Manchester City are looking for new ways of attacking. We all know how tough Simeone's team is.

If they fail to pass the goal and completely kill the game, Manchester City has the risk of being overturned at any time, which is a huge loss for the entire Premier League. "

In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Andy Gray commented on the current situation on the court.

Until the end of the first half, Manchester City still failed to break through Atletico Madrid's gate again.

Goals must be scored in this game. Atletico Madrid's counterattack is not comfortable. Manchester City's defense is not always in a relatively safe state like in the first round.

At this moment, it is possible to lose the initiative of the entire game in an opponent's counterattack at any time.

Zhao Jinge understands the importance of this match very well. After this match, they can board the flight to Milan.

If Manchester City can't win this game, then this seemingly brilliant season will eventually bury dark spots that cannot be erased.

It's not that if you can't score, Manchester City has no chance at all. On the football field, anything can happen until the last second.

Maybe I should consider trusting my teammates as De Bruyne said. As the team's best shooter, he doesn't want to put his fate in the hands of others, even if he is his own teammate.

But what should I do so that I can send that damned football into the opponent's goal?

Zhao Jinge thought about it, and he found more and more that when playing football, he should use his brain more, plan more, prepare more, and sometimes play smarter to make himself stronger.

But how should this game be played?Zhao Jinge was still a little clueless.

Throughout the first half of the game, what he did was to follow the tactics arranged by the coach, keep dribbling and attacking, trying to disrupt Atletico Madrid's defense, and exerted his technical advantages in the face of the opponent's impregnable walls, and scored as many goals as possible. Chance to shoot.

Although the effect of this tactic is not bad, Zhao Jinge's own consumption is not small. If he continues to play like this, Zhao Jinge is not sure that he will be able to score a goal that will bring victory.

Atletico Madrid's defensive players are like dog skin plasters, sticking around him and can't shake them off. This must make him consume more physical energy and keep himself in a running state in order to have enough receiving and passing. and breakthrough space.

But if it is said to change the way of playing, he has no clue. Atletico Madrid's way of playing is in a sense an evolved version of defensive counterattack.

If they are willing to attack on their own, Manchester City can still take advantage of it, but Atletico Madrid has made up their minds to fight back when they want to watch Manchester City switch offense at home.

The tactics are simple and practical. With the effective possession of the ball obtained through steals and interceptions after Atletico Madrid has completely let go, Atletico Madrid's counterattack can be called a large number of precise and sharp.

Facing the extremely pragmatic bed sheet army, no matter who it is, it will be difficult to win.

Anyway, Atletico Madrid is also a giant team in La Liga in recent years. As long as they are willing to put down their faces at home and cause trouble on both ends of the offense and defense, then they are one of the most difficult bones on the planet.

What should I do?
Atlético Madrid's defense was obviously arranged according to his characteristics. After a few attempts in the opening game, they no longer tried to prevent Zhao Jinge's breakthrough with the ball, but arranged a heavy defense in the penalty area.

Zhao Jinge was not given a chance to handle the ball calmly in the penalty area at all, which put Zhao Jinge in a lot of trouble.

As a striker, even a center forward who often needs to fight hand-to-hand, he also needs space to make the ball and shoot, but the two central defenders of the opponent, relying on their bodies stronger than him, after he entered the penalty area of ​​Atletico Madrid , There is no space for him to display his lethality at all.

Relying on constant small movements and some personal pulls, Zhao Jinge did not live comfortably in the opponent's penalty area, which made him somewhat understand why Neymar chose to use diving to protect himself after being severely beaten by the society.

Just like Savage on the opposite side would keep pinching his waist, Jimenez would also pretend to accidentally hit Zhao Jinge's upper body and step on his foot when there was no ball at Zhao Jinge's feet.

At most, it was just a whistleblower for a foul, but it made Zhao Jinge's feet scarred and bruised. Under the constant trampling, some open wounds appeared on his feet and calves, and faint blood stains began to appear on his feet. socks.

The physical pain made Zhao Jinge clearly know that he could no longer attack without hesitation. He must have qualified teammates to help him create enough space to play more easily.

It was time to enter the stoppage time of the first half. Zhao Jinge, who wanted to play more easily, cut to the middle as soon as he got the ball, and actively signaled Yaya Toure to attack and complete the game with him. Probably the last attack of the first half of the game.

This makes the defensive Atletico players a little strange.Zhao Jinge's cutting from the side must have encountered less resistance than cutting through the middle.

Now that he directly chooses to cut in from the middle, it is difficult to get rid of the Atletico Madrid defenders who are densely double-teaming. So, what is the purpose of doing this?

Zhao Jinge knew very well that it was difficult for him to penetrate too deep, and it was difficult for him to break through the opponent's heavy defense in the middle.

Although his movements are fast, once he falls into the encirclement, he will be stared to death by the opponent, and it is difficult to cut into the hinterland of the center.

At this time, he just wanted to see if he could play the same offensive cooperation in the ribs of Atletico Madrid's penalty area as he did when he scored the second goal in the first round.

Zhao Jinge took the ball and cut to the opponent's center according to the established idea. When Saul on the opposite side actively leaned forward to grab the ball, he pulled the ball and wanted to use Marseille to spin past Saul.

However, after Saul rushed forward, he reached out and grabbed his jersey, and stuck his whole body on his back, with his elbows resting on his back, and the weight of his whole body was directly pressed on him, making Zhao Jinge even Balance cannot be maintained.

Before completely losing his center of gravity, Zhao Jinge reluctantly kicked the ball to Yaya Toure beside him, and after pulling away Saul who was sticking behind him, Zhao Jinge ran forward a few steps to catch up Toure,
But Saul stood in front of him. Seeing this situation, Toure, who originally wanted to cooperate with Zhao Jinge in hitting the wall, immediately gave up the idea of ​​forcing a pass back, but chose to go straight into Atletico Madrid's penalty area.
After receiving the ball, Aguero tried to hit the goal but failed, and decisively chose to pass back, and the football came to De Bruyne's feet.

Obviously, this way of playing is still a bit too forced. Zhao Jinge looked at the offensive that came to an abrupt end,
I should think of a way, find a way to make my breakthrough more effective, at least try to get rid of these flies that foul at every turn.

After receiving a diagonal pass from Mr. Ding, Zhao Jinge rushed forward again with the ball and took a step to the left. Facing Gabi who was attacking back, he calmly dunked the ball. Zhao Jinge suddenly stretched out his left foot, making a gesture to go to the side breakthrough,

At the moment when Saul, who was guarding him, blocked him to the left, Zhao Jinge suddenly turned the ball back to his right foot, but his right foot did not stop the ball, but supported the ground with his toes, and then tapped his heel lightly. Knock, knock the ball to the middle.

Knocking the ball with the back heel and changing direction has miraculous effects against opponents who take the initiative to surrender their center of gravity.

Although this passing movement is very sudden, when it is done, it can quickly get rid of the opponent, but because of the lack of coherence of the movement, it is difficult to do the next passing movement, so when passing people, it is not very respected.

But what Zhao Jinge thinks now is not to be extraordinary. He knocked the ball far away, then strode to catch up with the ball, swiped his right foot again, and rushed directly towards Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

Atlético Madrid's defense took the initiative to choose to defend after the previous interception failed, pressing very far back, leaving a certain amount of space in the midfield.

It is this little space that allows Zhao Jinge's speed and explosive power to be displayed astonishingly. He can use this kind of life-like kicking method to surpass others.

Seeing Zhao Jinge, who had knocked the ball back and charged towards his defense, Jimenez suddenly thought of the Portuguese named Ronaldo.

The Portuguese is particularly fond of knocking the ball to change direction, but his habit is to knock the ball to change the direction to open up space, and then take a long shot, directly creating opportunities for the team out of nothing.

But now Zhao Jinge doesn't have the idea of ​​shooting with the ball, he is still thinking about the possibility of further breakthroughs.

Saul leaned forward again, Zhao Jinge turned half a circle to the left, and lightly dunked the ball with his right foot, so that Saul could not get off the first time, and then he wiped the ball behind him with his right foot , dodged the line blocked by Saul, bypassed Saul's left foot, and kicked behind Saul.

At the same time, he himself dodged Saul, dodging from the right side of Saul, and after a beautiful ball was passed, he rushed to the ribs of the opponent's penalty area.

Once in the penalty area, they dare not foul.

Zhao Jinge knew this very well. In the side of the penalty area, he saw that Aguero and Mahrez who was inserted on the other side were all looked dead.

He knew that he had to dribble further to create space for them to shoot, or rely on them to create space for him to shoot.

He dunked the ball behind his left foot with his right foot, and Zhao Jinge made a flower arrangement to pass the ball. When Jimenez was moved, Zhao Jinge hooked the ball back again and took a step forward.

At this time, Yaya Toure and De Bruyne have also followed up. Toure's forward thrust took away Saul who was chasing back, and De Bruyne disturbed Savage's sight.

Cooperating with Aguero and Mahrez who were already in the penalty area, Atletico Madrid's already impregnable defense was finally tossed out of the neutral.

However, the gap in Atletico Madrid's back line is still not big enough. If you want to go further, you need more space. Zhao Jinge took a step with his left foot, widening enough distance from Jimenez, and then hooked the ball with his right foot. Coming over, he dunked the ball behind his left foot again.

This hand again?Jimenez in front of him was unmoved at all, as long as he has lied to me once, he wants to lie to me a second time?
I really thought I was joking!Jimenez stood where he was, wanting to see what kind of trick Zhao Jinge was trying to pull off.
He is now only one meter away from Zhao Jinge, blocking the space that Zhao Jinge passed to Mahrez and Aguero. Cooperating with Oblak behind him, he did not leave enough shooting angles for Zhao Jinge.

But this time, Zhao Jinge in front of him unexpectedly bent his left leg, swung his right foot back behind his left leg, and suddenly kicked and shot!
Flower arrangement shot?

Such a way of playing was really unexpected.

Atletico Madrid's entire defense did not react, but when they did,
The football has passed the top of Oblak's head, who also didn't react, along an extremely narrow shooting angle, and directly drilled into the upper left corner of the goal like a precise guidance.

At the last moment of the first half, Zhao Jinge kicked the ball into the goal of Atletico Madrid!
"GOAL!!!!!!"

"Beautiful goal! Zhao Jinge's perfect shot after passing three players in a row!
This is the most beautiful solo performance I've seen this year! "

Andy Gray shouted directly,

"He broke through the entire defense of Atletico Madrid alone! A perfect solo pass, a perfect individual performance!"

At critical times, you have to rely on yourself!

After scoring the goal, Zhao Jinge finally finished his recent mental journey. As long as his teammates can give him a certain space, he has the ability to use all kinds of incredible moves to send the football into the damn goal!
