I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 309: The unstoppable head-to-head confrontation!
Three midfielders versus three midfielders, two wingers versus two wingers, no one took advantage. Both sides were in the best physical condition in the opening stage, and the fast-paced offense and defense were an eye-opener for the audience.

Zidane glanced at Guardiola next door in surprise.

He attaches great importance to Guardiola and the Manchester City team he leads. After all, the painful lessons of last year are still fresh in his mind, but he still didn't expect Guardiola, a legend who has won the Champions League three times, to make such a bold choice!

Dare to go head-to-head with high pressure and attack at Real Madrid's home court. In a daze, Zidane seemed to see the shadow of Barcelona's arrogance at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
The key is that Manchester City's midfielders perform their duties and do not panic in the face of Real Madrid's pressure. Their awareness of counter-pressing the moment they lose the ball is also top-notch.

Such ability to control the field and apply pressure is enough for Zidane to once again improve his evaluation of Manchester City. It is indeed a team that dominates the Premier League. It is really strong in terms of hard power. Yes, if Manchester City is not strong, how can it be possible to win? Last year's Real Madrid? !

But this is Real Madrid's home court after all. Guardiola's tactical arrangements today are indeed a bit bold. Zidane likes the confidence shown by Guardiola in his heart, but he is not lenient at all in making targeted adjustments.

Just as Manchester City's coaching team attaches great importance to the study of Real Madrid, Zidane and his assistants also spent more than half a month studying Manchester City's common tactics.

Although Guardiola's tactical style and Zhao Jinge's balanced strength gave Zidane a headache.

But more than half a month of research also allowed the Real Madrid coaching staff to successfully find the flaws in Manchester City's current starting lineup.

Compared to Kyle Walker on the right, Cancelo, who was transformed into a left back by Guardiola, is obviously a weak link that Manchester City can exploit on the defensive end now.

Yaya Toure covers a large area and has strong defense capabilities, but as he is over [-] years old, it is impossible for him to devote too much energy to helping Cancelo wipe his ass when facing the pressing attack of Real Madrid's midfield. .

Neymar has performed very well this season. Zidane firmly believes that with Neymar's current state, he will be able to make a hole in Cancelo sooner or later!

Besides, Real Madrid still has Carvajal on the right who can attack forward. Faced with the repeated bombings of Neymar and Carvajal, Cancelo will definitely not be able to withstand it. Guardiola changes to another left winger. Defender Clichy came up the same way.

Even if he has to risk being stabbed all the way by Mahrez's counterattack to play this targeted tactic, Zidane thinks it is very worth it.

And whether it is successful or not, you have to play it first to know whether it is successful or not.

At least Manchester City's defensive loopholes are obvious to Zidane, and it's impossible for him not to target them.

Taking advantage of a throw-in, Zidane called Marcelo to the sidelines and quickly made tactical adjustments.

Zhao Jinge saw it clearly from the side and couldn't help but feel nervous. The game might be about to enter a more intense offensive and defensive battle.

Sure enough, 2 minutes later, Real Madrid obviously shifted their attack direction more towards their right wing!

Mahrez took advantage of his physical strength to help Cancelo block Real Madrid's ball advance in the midfield.

But the problems that have to be faced will eventually have to be faced. Cancelo kept in mind the pre-match arrangements of the coaching staff and would rather let Neymar play in the bottom corner than let Neymar easily complete the inside cut when he had to.

His defensive level can cause normal interference to Neymar's ball-handling and dribbling, but it is unrealistic to restrict a peak Neymar who is ambitious and wants to prove himself and has no threat of injury.

So under the strong attack, Manchester City's defense in the left half of the area did loosen a bit.

Toni Kroos, who pressed forward, forced Yaya Toure to dare not retreat easily to give up the defensive area. Only Laporte could help Cancelo fill in from time to time, compressing Neymar's passing space after going down.

But once a double-team is formed, it means that Manchester City's defensive line will inevitably have a defensive weak side. No matter how fast Manchester City's players defend each other, they will not be as fast as the opponent's pass.

So in the 8th minute and the 11th minute of the first half, Real Madrid got two chances to shoot from the left edge of Manchester City's penalty area.

Modric kicked, and Benzema, who retreated, played the ball for Toni Kroos, allowing Teacher Toni to also make a signature putt!

Although these two shots did not really threaten Manchester City's goal, the occurrence of such a situation was a signal.

Manchester City's players and Guardiola both know that they have to speed up the counterattack, otherwise if Real Madrid continues to beat like this, sooner or later the situation will become passive.

Real Madrid's advantage on the field made their home fans very excited, and the deafening cheers seemed to be demonstrating to Manchester City.

This is the Bernabeu Stadium!This is also the football temple where countless wealthy families are buried!
Such cheers were harsh, and Zhao Jinge felt very uncomfortable. He turned his head and saw that De Bruyne really looked unhappy.

Isn't it just that we took a little initiative at the beginning?What's there to be happy about? Everything is in vain until a goal is scored!
They came to Spain not as a stepping stone for Real Madrid, but now the situation is obviously tilting towards Real Madrid. The players in Manchester City's backcourt are still looking for opportunities under pressure, and the two of them can only continue to wait calmly. .

In the 16th minute of the first half, Neymar, who had been idle for 2 minutes, made a comeback, and once again faced Cancelo's defense and confidently started dribbling in small steps.

Real Madrid's overall formation also pressed forward again, giving Neymar enough tactical support. Once he breaks through unfavorably, there will be teammates behind and beside him to support him.

This kind of tactical treatment freed Neymar, and his breakthrough power also skyrocketed.

The King of Brazil has been honed in various top events in the past few years. Although the proportion of fancy technical and tactical moves has been reduced, the combination of technology and experience has made him more terrifying when he breaks through.

Cancelo's retreat seemed a bit embarrassing, but his eyes were still clear and he did not become embarrassed because of being beaten by Neymar many times.

On the contrary, the better Neymar performs, the more he forces himself to keep his brain clear.

The defensive end is not his stage, and all his calmness and reason must be used at the moment when he turns from defense to offense.

The offensive players in front are still waiting for his support!
"Another breakthrough attempt by Neymar, Cancelo was passed by half a body! The Portuguese defender did not choose to surrender, he was still trying to keep up with Neymar's advancement! Neymar's inverted triangle pass!"

Amid Andy Gray's exclamations, Neymar went down and successfully completed an inverted triangle threat pass.

Stones shouted and took over the defensive responsibility of the ball.

Kompany is not on the court, and Otamendi has completely become a substitute. Stones, who has joined Manchester City for less than a year, has naturally become the anchor of the defense and must lead by example!

When Joe Hart saw this, he did not attack and guarded the near corner of the goal.

Modric, who broke into Manchester City's penalty area, was preparing to complete the shot from Neymar's pass.As a result, a tall and dexterous figure took long steps and decisively jumped in front of him to complete the tackle!
Modric, who failed to control his body, tripped over Stones' legs and fell into the Manchester City penalty area!

For a time, the roars of Real Madrid players and fans resounded throughout the Bernabeu Stadium.

"Penalty! He tripped Modric, penalty!"

As Real Madrid's attack overwhelmed the midfielder, Ramos spread his hands immediately, rushed up, shouted loudly and ran towards the referee, but the referee was unmoved and had no intention of stopping the game.

"No foul! Stones didn't foul! His brave tackle prevented Real Madrid's attack from coming to an end. Laporte poked the ball to the left! Cancelo started to counterattack!"

The exclamation in the stadium turned into angry curses at the referee almost instantly!

In the face of these curses, Cancelo moved forward without hesitation, calmly walked outside and accelerated past Toni Kroos, who was trying to intercept on the ground, and then decisively distributed the ball to De Bruyne, who was also running forward.

De Bruyne did not choose to stop the ball. He stretched out his foot while running and passed the ball directly to Mahrez, who was already speeding up on the left wing!

Carvajal, who returned to defense, stuck closely to Mahrez to prevent him from overtaking. At the same time, Real Madrid's entire defense was retreating quickly.

Faced with Manchester City's sudden and rapid offensive, Mr. Tony did not form an interception barrier at the first time, giving Manchester City's offensive players a chance to face the defense line. This is considered a big defensive mistake.

Zidane's heart skipped a beat. Cross's mistakes could be reviewed and warned off the court, but at this moment there was no possibility of a timeout for Manchester City's offense.

He could only place his hope on Modric and Casemiro who were chasing after him, hoping that they could interfere with Zhao Jinge, who was driving forward at high speed in the middle, without asking for an interception, just interfere!

Zhao Jinge was also paying attention to the movement of the Real Madrid players around him at this time. His ultimate goal must be to rush into the Real Madrid penalty area, and then find a way to receive Mahrez's cross and complete a shot.

Although Casemiro's pursuit was very fast and he seemed to want to interfere with him on the way, Zhao Jinge was not too worried about the Brazilian's defense.

For him, it's just a matter of putting in extra effort to move around to avoid Casemiro's defensive interference.

But his side was ready to make a final blow, but Mahrez's advancement was the first to have a little problem.

Carvajal's defensive experience is still very rich. He always gets stuck in Mahrez's path, pulling his jersey to interfere and blocking his position.

Under Carvajal's personal defensive blockage, Varane had enough preparation time and was about to form a double-team with Carvajal on Mahrez.

Naturally, De Bruyne immediately approached Mahrez to respond. Zhao Jinge only thought for a moment when he saw this, and then changed his route and ran straight to the left side of Real Madrid's penalty area, getting as close as possible to De Bruyne. Inside.

Facing the situation where he was about to be double-teamed, Mahrez had no choice but to stop his progress, and then decisively knocked the ball back to De Bruyne who was responding.

Zhao Jinge had already taken a step ahead of Ramos and got stuck on the edge of the penalty area. He raised his hand to ask for the ball. De Bruyne passed the ball quickly without thinking too much.

"I heard that you are going to show me some color?!"

Zhao Jinge muttered quickly the moment he caught the ball.

After saying that, he caught the ball and leaned against Ramos to exert force instantly and complete a forced turn!

Ramos is considered the top central defender in La Liga. He is now the first captain of Real Madrid and a veteran of the Spanish national team. How can he tolerate a young man like Zhao Jinge who is so arrogant?
If you want to forcefully turn around in front of a defensive player, you really think you are the boss, right? !

Ramos, who had never been angry at this, also used his strength in an instant and pushed Zhao Jinge out with all his strength, but reality soon gave him a slap in the face!
Feeling the unstoppable force coming from Zhao Jinge, Ramos couldn't resist it physically and was pushed directly to stagger, completely exposing Navas and the goal behind him!

Zhao Jinge, who had completed his turn, took advantage of the burst of energy before letting it go, and directly swung his leg towards the near corner of Real Madrid's goal to complete a volley!

Such a smooth shot connection made Real Madrid's home fans unable to react.

But Navas is worthy of being Navas. The Costa Rica national goalkeeper with top goal-line skills made a save in an instant.

Navas' reaction and saving hand were fine, but when the football hit his gloves, his heart sank!
"This power was kicked out by people. What kind of strange power?!"

After making his judgment, Navas looked at the football that he pounced on in shock as he landed.

Zhao Jinge also landed from the air at this time, staring at the football that slightly changed its direction in the air.

Guardiola stood up from the coaching bench, his eyes widened, not daring to miss what he saw.

Zidane held his forehead with one hand, his heart beating wildly, praying in his heart that the ball would fly out of the goal range!

The Real Madrid fans and Manchester City fans at the scene showed two completely different expressions.

Amidst the complex emotions of panic and ecstasy, the football that became the focus spun in the air for two and a half weeks, then landed and bounced!

Navas knew that it was too late for him to turn back and complete the save again, but he still pushed hard in the opposite direction and stretched his arms to try to block the next direction of the football.

Ramos rushed towards the goal with a ferocious expression, and fell to the ground to tackle the football as it bounced towards the goal, trying to stop the football that would allow him to complete his self-salvation!

He knew that he had lost face in the first duel with Zhao Jinge, but as long as the goal was not scored, he still had a chance for redemption!

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Ramos tried his best to reach the ball, but in the end his toes were just one or two centimeters away from the football!
When the football crossed the goal line and jumped into the Real Madrid goal, in Manchester, throughout England, and around the world, countless fans raised their arms at this moment and roared with great passion, expressing their extremely fiery passion at this moment. Excited mood!

"GOAL!!!!!!"

"Zhao Jinge scored a goal!"
