All-around center

"This is the role of superstars! This is the value of Suker!"

"A key goal at a critical moment!"

"For both sides, they want to score quickly, gain the advantage in the score and dominate the game!"

"This goal is not just a difference in the score, but a change in the overall rhythm, which allows the scoring team to play more easily in the next period of time!"

"Especially for teams like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, they have many ways to kill the game when they are ahead, and now Real Madrid has this opportunity!"

"Bayern Munich's ability to adjust makes We were amazed, but Real Madrid's performance in the game amazed us even more! "

"They never seem to regard pressure as a burden. Even in such a critical situation, their performance is still so stable! "

"Especially the details of Suker's handling in this attack, I think these things are the key to the rapid growth of some young players. This is why Suker can become the five-time Ballon d'Or winner! "

"He is so calm! It is because of this calmness and composure that he can lead Real Madrid to victory again and again! "

The scene was full of jubilation, and Suker's goal made the players of Real Madrid extremely excited.

They knew what this goal meant, and they had a great chance of winning three points away from home.

This is the three points scored at the Allianz Arena, which is of great help to them in advancing to the final.

And Bayern Munich understood that the situation has become serious again.

Not only did they fall behind, but the situation also became extremely passive.

Just like the previous situation, they always fell behind step by step, which eventually led to a loss.

Without waiting for Bayern Munich to make any response, Real Madrid took the lead in making substitutions.

Kaka went off the field and Isco came on.

There was a slight change in the midfield.

Kroos played as a defensive midfielder, while Casemiro and Isco occupied the left and right midfield areas respectively.

Ancelotti originally planned to replace Casemiro and change the structure to three technical midfielders.

But thinking of the current situation, players need to have sufficient physical strength.

And Kaka's physical strength is indeed reaching the bottom.

At this time, replacing Casemiro will not only impact Kaka, but also make Srna's pressure even greater.

For this reason, he left Casemiro and let him continue to defend the wing where the radiation is located.

At the same time, the offensive power on the left was strengthened, and Kroos's retreat as a defensive midfielder was also more conducive to stability.

Ancelotti really won't give Bayern Munich any chance.

The control of the situation is also appropriate.

Guardiola also saw this substitution and understood what Real Madrid was going to do.

And he only has one substitution quota left in his hand now. It is really too difficult to change the situation with this.

"The boss asked you to slow down the tempo. You have to command the midfield. If necessary, you can also let Suker retreat to support you!"

After Isco came on the court, he directly told Kroos and Suker about Ancelotti's request.

Suker nodded and said it was okay.

He also knew that stability was the most important thing at this time.

However, Kroos was obviously under a lot of pressure.

This was to put the weight of the remaining time on himself.

Whether he could keep the tempo stable depended on his performance.

Suker would even cover him for this.

It has to be said that this pressure was too great.

Kroos couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

'Can I do it? '

At this time, Kroos's shoulder was gently patted by Suker. When the former turned his head, Suker pointed his index finger down and said:

"Think about where this is? Think about how you left here? Think about what someone here said to you? Don't you want to prove yourself?"

Hearing this, Kroos was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became sharp instantly.

Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, and people fight for a breath!

At the beginning, the general manager of Bayern Munich told him that he refused to raise his salary because he was not a world-class midfielder.

The salary increase was secondary, but the denial of himself was the key to Kroos's departure.

"I know what to do!"

Kroos nodded, indicating that he understood.

Suk smiled and said, "Go boldly, we will all cooperate with you!"

On September 26, 2007, in the 7th round of the 2007-08 Bundesliga season, Bayern Munich played against Cottbus at home.

Kroos will always remember this game. This was his debut game in Bayern Munich, and it was also a solid step towards his dream.

Kroos, 17 years and 265 days old, became the youngest player in Bayern's history at the time, and his debut was amazing.

A month later, in the Europa League group match between Bayern and Belgrade, Hitzfeld released Kroos in the 81st minute.

Bayern was 1-2 behind, and Kroos was in full swing. In the 85th minute, Kroos took a free kick and Klose scored a header in the penalty area, 2-2.

In the 92nd minute, Kroos scored a low free kick, 3-2, and Bayern reversed.

Everyone thought Kroos was a talented player, but in Bayern's one and a half seasons, Kroos only played 19 times in the Bundesliga, most of the time as a substitute.

At the end of the loan period, Kroos returned to Bayern Munich again.

He made a request to the club, hoping to get more playing time.

But in Van Gaal's eyes, Kroos was not important. Most of the time, Kroos played as a defensive midfielder, and sometimes he was arranged to play on the left. For Van Gaal, Kroos was just a "filling in the gaps" player.

Kroos tried to adapt to his role, but he was not happy. He could not play his offensive advantage until his "Bo Le" Heynckes returned to Bayern.

At that time, Heynckes handed me the key to the gym and told me a sentence.

'Now you know it exists, talent is not everything, you have to work hard, otherwise I won't use you. '

Heynckes had a great influence on Kroos's career.

Under Heynckes's urging, Kroos played better and better. At this time, he was not a midfield monster, but he quickly honed his weapons.

Until the "century robbery" appeared.

At that time, Real Madrid had ideas about Kroos, or Suker liked Kroos very much.

Real Madrid's attitude was to hope that Kroos could come to the Bernabeu to play.

Kroos was somewhat tempted, but he still hoped to be reused in the Allianz Arena.

With this, Kroos made some requests to the club.

Either let him get more midfield resources or give him a raise.

In fact, Kroos did not want a raise, he wanted more midfield resources and game time.

But he never expected that Bayern chairman Rummenigge would directly say, "We will not give you a raise, you are not the world's top midfielder."

It was this sentence that completely separated Kroos from Bayern Munich and also hurt the self-esteem of this talented midfielder.

The "century robbery" quietly unfolded, Real Madrid put pressure on the club, and Suker kept shouting and praising Kroos in the media.

The angry Bayern Munich continued to suppress Kroos and even stopped giving him much game time.

One is Real Madrid, which recognizes and praises itself.

The other is Bayern Munich, which denies and belittles itself again and again.

Even a fool knows how to choose.

In the end, Real Madrid used Alonso, who wanted to leave, as a weight to exchange for Kroos.

At that time, everyone thought it was a failed transfer.

After all, Alonso was the World Cup champion midfielder at that time and the hero of Real Madrid's Champions League.

As for Kroos, he has not yet fully proved himself.

But Real Madrid still resolutely agreed!

So far, Kroos has transferred to Real Madrid and has been transformed and sublimated here.

It can be said that Kroos has now replaced Alonso, Kaka and other midfielders and has become the core player of Real Madrid's midfield.

He is also firmly heading towards the direction of the "midfield monster"!

Even without Modric's resource sharing, Kroos's growth trajectory is obviously faster and his ability has become more comprehensive.

"Why did it turn out like this?"

In the VIP room, Rummenigge frowned as he looked at the scoreboard.

As a chairman who was born as a player, he is also very sensitive to the game.

In particular, the loss of the ball at this critical node will put Bayern Munich in an extremely passive situation.

"We can't stop Suker. Real Madrid holds a card that makes our defense extremely afraid!"

The technical director said.

Rummenigge: "So, what about Ronaldo?"

"He has done well enough. He has helped us equalize the score in the first half. However, Real Madrid has more tactical reserves."

"Are you saying that Guardiola's preparations are insufficient?"

"That can't be said. Guardiola's response is also very good, but the changes in Real Madrid in this Champions League are unexpected by everyone."

The technical director was depressed.

In the past, Real Madrid was strong, but it was also a balanced strong.

Mourinho's team can play a suffocating rhythm, but they don't have these routines.

But Ancelotti is different. This guy has many tricks and his tactical ideas are also unrestrained, which makes them completely unable to grasp the context of the game.

This game is a representative!

"So what is the next key?" Rummenigge turned his head and said.

The technical director was silent for a while and said; "Midfield!"

"Midfield?" Rummenigge raised his eyebrows slightly; "Midfield is the key? Then Schweinsteiger will help us win!"

The technical director did not speak.

To be honest, he felt that Schweinsteiger could not take the initiative.

If it was in the past, it would be fine, but the current "piglet" is indeed a little old.

As for Kroos on the Real Madrid side, many people underestimated this guy's ability.

Of course, he would not mention this name in front of Rummenigge. For Rummenigge, the name Kroos is a taboo.

Whenever someone mentions it, it seems like he is stupid.

At the same time, in the stadium, the game started again.

After Bayern Munich lost the ball, the overall offensive became more intense.

But there are many problems in this intensity, or it is a bit impetuous.

Kroos accurately sensed this. He understood that Bayern Munich seemed calm at this time, but every pass was a radical forward pass. Regardless of the rationality of these passes, it was as if they hoped to keep the ball away from the goal. The closer the better.

"Casemiro, keep an eye on Ribery! Don't worry about the lateral pass!"

"Isco, stay still and put some cover on both wings!"

Cross began to shout loudly, and with his command, Real Madrid also acted quickly.

Needless to say, Real Madrid's tactical execution ability, when forming a commander role, they will all follow instructions.

Of course, this commander role is assigned to different players according to the situation.

Suker, Srna, Kaka, etc. have all held this job.

Now, that burden has fallen to Cross.

With Real Madrid's overall actions, Bayern Munich obviously feels greater pressure on the offensive end.

They wanted to push the ball as quickly as possible, but found that the ground was blocked.

"Is this asking us to highball?"

Schweinsteiger passed the ball out again and immediately looked at Kroos in the Real Madrid half.

Kroos keeps moving left and right. He is not the first person to press and press, but he must be the first person to help defend.

This also causes Bayern Munich to, on the offensive end, not only break through the corresponding pressure players, but also need to beware of secondary pressing by these assisting defensive players.

This kind of defense is like a nesting doll, layered one on top of another, making it difficult to break through directly.

But Bayern Munich didn't want to get too entangled in the midfield, so they could only play high balls.

"Coming!"

Seeing Bastian Schweinsteiger's passing style, Cross immediately turned his head; "Captain, fight for the top!"

Ramos surged forward.

His actions were extremely decisive.

But at the same time, Ronaldo was also jumping to compete for the top.

The two collided, but neither of them took advantage. The ball was chased and controlled by Robben on the right.

At this time, Real Madrid players have already controlled Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger in a man-to-man manner in the defense.

This is to force Robben to break through or pass back.

But Robben did not pass back or break through, but paused for a moment.

"The real threat is not these people!"

Cross's expression was focused, and he suddenly turned his head to scan.

He saw someone rushing up diagonally from behind Bastian Schweinsteiger.

"Caught!"

Cross turned and started.

At the same time, Robben also pushed the ball laterally.

"Oh~~~This move!! Ram!! Ram is coming up!"

The entire Allianz Arena was also in a state of excitement.

For Bayern Munich fans, their captain Lahm's long-range shooting ability is quite superb.

Ram also rushed all the way, turned his head to look at the ball and began to make adjustments with small steps.

Just as he was waiting for the ball to arrive, a figure suddenly slid across his eyes.

Cross suddenly made a sliding tackle and was the first to scoop the ball out.

"Kros! A timely tackle and interception. This interception was really fatal! Bayern Munich's intentions were completely seen through by Kroos!"

The moment Cross finished the sliding tackle and got up from the ground, he waved his arms vigorously and shouted.

Although it was a small interception and an episode, it was enough to undermine Bayern Munich's confidence.

Lahm is Bayern's insurance.

When the situation fails to open up, they will activate Ram and let the captain come forward and try a long shot.

As a former Bayern player, Cross also knows this truth very well, so he always pays close attention to Lahm's movements.

Although Lahm is well hidden behind Bastian Schweinsteiger, he will still expose his movements under Kroos' deliberate attention.

Therefore, when Ram ran, Cross also acted directly, and he was indeed caught with this interception opportunity.

After completing the interception, the ball changed hands.

Kroos quickly retreated to respond, and immediately used the two full-backs and the adduction of the wings to fully widen the angle and increase the number of control personnel, resulting in Real Madrid having extremely rich channels for the ball.

He can move from various angles with great ease.

At this time, Real Madrid only needs stability, so for Cross, it can be delayed for a while.

"Shit!"

In the private room, Rummenigge couldn't help but uttered a curse word.

The technical director also frowned and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Since Rummenigge was nearby, he couldn't say much, but he did think that Kroos was a talented player that they missed.

Kroos definitely has the potential to grow into a super midfielder, and he is now gradually redeeming these talents.

Today's Kroos is playing so well in Real Madrid not only because of the team's ability, but also because of his own talent.

If Kroos is still at Bayern Munich, if that thing doesn't happen.

Perhaps Kroos is the best substitute for Schweinsteiger!

Bayern can pass the midfield handover time very smoothly, and will not be in an embarrassing situation like now.

Ram also quickly retreated, and their intentions were discovered by Cross, which made him uncomfortable.

But in the current situation, we can no longer concede the ball.

After Lahm retreated, he saw that Real Madrid was not in a hurry to attack, but invested more troops in the midfield, intending to deal with them.

"It's terrible!"

Lahm couldn't help but complain. This was the situation he didn't want to see the most.

Real Madrid began to slow down the pace and began to plan to delay time.

Bayern Munich wanted a fast pace, which would be more beneficial to them.

But Real Madrid obviously didn't think so.

They were already leading. As long as they maintained the status quo, they could win three points away from home. Why not?

What's more, their second substitution was placed in the midfield, which increased the control ability of the midfield. They would not give Bayern any breathing space.

Stable rhythm!

Try to slow down the game!

Control the ball if you can, and transfer if you can.

Unless there is a great opportunity, otherwise they will wear you down.

"Real Madrid played too passively. This is not the game that the Champions League should have!"

The German commentator was a little exasperated.

There was no way. Who told Real Madrid to play really made them uncomfortable.

The situation was not resolved, so he could only vent his inner anxiety in this way.

But it was useless to say more, because Real Madrid would continue to delay the game.

This was the problem caused by the second goal!

When the ball was smoothly transferred from Kroos' feet again, the German commentator said helplessly:

"Tony Kroos! We shouldn't have let him go!"
