The Etihad Stadium once again gave applause to Manchester City players.

Zidane did not make any personnel adjustments in the midfield.

He thought about replacing Pepe to increase the defensive hardness.

But Pepe's speed is not as fast as Varane. If the defense is not in place, there may be bigger problems.

Manchester City's offensive focus is not Aguero, the center forward, but Zhao Yi, the winger.

In the second half, Real Madrid obviously increased the control of the midfield.

Modric and Kroos' number of breakthroughs has decreased significantly.

At the same time, the two played more oppressively on the defensive end.

Keep putting pressure on Manchester City midfielders.

The BBC trident in the front court has increased a lot of interspersed runs.

Zidane tried to end the game with the ability of the front players.

Under Kompany's command, Manchester City's defense is much more stable than in the first half.

It did not let Real Madrid easily play behind the ball.

However, the offensive talent of the Real Madrid trident is too strong.

Modric's pass was extremely accurate and lethal.

It was too difficult to defend.

With Modric's precise pass, the ball moved from the left to the right.

Bale accelerated with the ball and easily got rid of Fernandinho.

Speed ​​is Bale's biggest killer.

You know his characteristics and what he wants to do, but it's hard to defend.

Fernandinho just turned around and Bale left only a back figure.

Zhao Yi, who retreated very deep, strode to the back line.

Facing Clichy, Bale kicked the ball out, and then sprinted along the sideline.

Directly surpassed Clichy.

Clichy wanted to squeeze Bale out with his body, but he was half a beat slower, and Bale had already rushed out one step ahead.

Taking big steps, the whole person was like a plane about to take off, shaking off Clichy and getting the ball.

Quickly inserted into the penalty area.

Kompany retreated to the penalty area, but he didn't dare to make up for the defense easily, because Benzema was behind him.

At this moment, Kompany chose to trust his teammates.

He did not lose his position, and blocked Benzema tightly, leaving Bale no chance to pass the ball to the middle.

Then the entire left road became the peach garden of the great saint Bale, turning the river and the sea upside down, and no one could stop him?

Bale came at lightning speed.

Joe Hart had to give up the far corner and guard the near corner nervously.

Clichy, who was chasing Bale closely, had no chance to stop Bale from entering the penalty area.

Bale stepped into the penalty area, glanced at Joe Hart, and then glanced at Benzema in the middle.

No chance to pass the ball.

Should he shoot now, or continue to rush to the goal, forcing Kompany to chase out, and then pass the ball to Benzema in the middle?

The chance of shooting in the far corner should be quite good!

If he continues to move forward, the space is too small and he may not be able to send the ball out.

"Bale's speed is too fast, he rushed in!

Opportunity! You can shoot directly!

Hey? Bale??? What are you doing?!"

Bale hesitated for a moment, just raised his right foot, ready to kick.

Whoosh...

Zhao Yi, who came back from the backcourt, raised his right foot.

He stepped out fiercely and blocked Bale directly in front of him.

Accurate and fierce, he knocked the ball away with his heel, and knocked Bale down in the penalty area with his thigh.

Clichy, who came back from behind, took the ball away from the penalty area with fear.

Bale fell in the penalty area, holding his ankle, his face was very painful.

"Penalty, penalty!" Real Madrid commentator shouted.

Both of them were too fast, and it was difficult to see what happened through the live broadcast.

It felt like Zhao Yi stepped on Bale's foot.

Bale's fall made Manchester City fans sweat.

But the referee did not say anything.

Zhao Yi turned around and accelerated forward.

Clichy pushed the ball to Fernandinho.

Manchester City quickly launched a counterattack.

"Penalty! Shouldn't the referee look at VAR???

Hmm???

This...oh...was aimed at the ball, not stepping on Bale...

This defense is really neat and tidy.

In the penalty area, he dared to make such a decisive tackle. In such a high-speed sprint, isn't he afraid of fouls?

This young man's psychological quality...is really too confident.

If Bale had this kind of courage and confidence, this ball would have been there!

What happened to Bale? He hesitated at such a critical moment?" The Real Madrid commentator watched the replay and felt uncomfortable, "The previous escape and breakthrough were very exciting and finally entered the penalty area, but gave Manchester City a chance."

On the court, Fernandinho got the ball and knocked it back to Zhao Yi who came in from behind.

Zhao Yi kicked the football.

"This is a long pass! This guy..."

The football passed the entire midfield and went straightRunning to the front.

It was for Aguero.

And it was very accurate.

After Aguero started, he left Ramos half a body length behind and stopped the ball with one foot.

Ramos desperately fought for position with Aguero.

Aguero stared at the football in front of him and sprinted with gritted teeth. If he could completely get rid of Ramos, he would have a one-on-one chance!

Unfortunately, Navas, who rushed out of the penalty area, kicked the ball away fiercely.

The risk was very high. Once Aguero touched the ball first, Navas would probably be sent off with a red card for fouling Aguero.

Aguero fell on the grass and was very upset after getting up.

Etihad's regretful voice sounded.

Marcelo on the wing took the ball and pushed forward.

Seeing that there was no good opportunity, he could only look for Casemiro.

Manchester City's frontcourt players retreated very deep, so Real Madrid's offense did not improve much.

Zhao Yi on the wing ran back and forth, leaving Bale with no good chances on the right.

Bale's several breakthroughs were all kicked out by Zhao Yi in advance.

With Clichy, Zhao Yi, and Fernandinho on the defensive at any time, Bale was miserable.

"A true superstar can solve the battle by his own strength!

Bale... I don't understand why Florentino thinks Bale can become the new core and leader of Real Madrid.

After several mistakes, he was restricted by a winger...

Real Madrid should not play on the right anymore, right?

If this goes on, there will be no chance to score!"

Bale was very dissatisfied with his performance, but he had no choice.

Zhao Yi was very fast and his foot was very accurate. If he was not careful, the ball was gone.

Bale was not a player with strong dribbling skills like Kroos and Modric.

He was miserable when Zhao Yi targeted him.

Zidane directed Modric and Kroos on the sidelines.

Let the two change the direction of attack.

During the halftime break, Zidane formulated a tactic to play more on the right side.

Let Bale use his speed to open up the situation.

Now it seems that this tactic has completely failed.

"Hehehe, Bale is the Great Sage, and Zhao Yi is the Tathagata Buddha!"

"Zhao Yi stands on the left side of Manchester City, like a gate, Bale is about to cry!"

"A speed striker like Bale has a poor dribbling level. Once he can't get rid of the defender, he is too easy to make mistakes."
