One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Three Completely Enlightened!
When Marcelo rushed to the left periphery of Bayern's penalty area and caught up with Toni Kroos's pass, in the large penalty area, Bayern's defensive players were all gathered in the middle and the front point.
Because both Ronaldo and Benzema are in this area, ready to receive Marcelo's cross at any time.
After Marcelo caught up with the ball, he saw that Rafinha also turned around to catch up, so he made a decisive decision and passed directly with his left foot.
The ball passed high above the heads of the crowd in the penalty area. Everyone including Ronaldo, Benzema, Vidal and Dante jumped up to compete for the top, but it turned out that the ball was passed too high.
what happened?
Faulty pass?
As soon as this thought flashed through everyone's minds, they saw the ball fall to the right side of the penalty area.
A white figure sprinted over quickly, and when Marcelo's cross landed, he stopped the ball with his foot.
The strength of this kick stopped the ball just right, because Marcelo's cross ball had already landed, and this kick stopped the ball just right, almost as if the ball was glued to his feet.
I saw Di Maria stop with his left foot, and after a little adjustment, he quickly swung his left foot and hit again.
It was a powerful volley directly, and the ball was drawn directly to the left of Bayern Munich's goal.
Tom Stark was moving, trying to stop it with his hands, but there was nothing he could do.
The ball crashed directly into the Bayern Munich goal.
"goallllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"Di Maria's shot!!!"
"Real Madrid opened the scoring in the 19th minute!"
"Attack from the left, Di Maria's fast back row, and the left foot shot after stopping the ball in the chest, broke the deadlock on the field, one to zero!
Di Maria rushed out of the court quickly, hands together, and couldn't be more excited.
The entire Bernabéu stadium was full of cheers from Real Madrid fans, all shouting Di Maria's name.
...
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Gao Shen excitedly swung his right fist when he saw Di Maria score, and then clapped his hands excitedly to applaud Di Maria's goal.
"Marcelo's cross is so beautiful!" Hierro praised with a smile.
"The key point of this goal is Toni Kroos' forward drive." When Zidane said this, he looked at Gao Shen, his eyes full of admiration, "It seems that your motivation before the game is still effective."
Gao Shen nodded with a smile.
He often communicates with Toni Kroos on weekdays. He knows that Toni Kroos has complicated feelings for Bayern.
how to say?
Tony Cross is from East Germany and grew up in East Germany since he was a child. Although East and West Germany have long been merged, there is still a gap between people in East Germany and people in West Germany, especially in Munich. this kind of place.
So at Bayern, Toni Kroos has always had a sense of dissociation.
He wanted to integrate into Bayern, but he still couldn't integrate into it, and Bayern never seemed to treat him as a direct descendant.
For example, Toni Kroos said that after the World Cup in South Africa, he signed a contract extension with Bayern, but after only ten minutes, he regretted it.
Because he felt that some of what Rummenigge said made him feel insulted, as if this contract was a gift from Bayern Munich to him, not what he deserved.
Maybe Rummenigge just wanted to show off his sense of humor and pua this talented young man by the way, but what he didn't expect was that Toni Kroos would think so much.
Of course, it's also possible that Toni Kroos was not mistaken at all, who knows?
But playing Bayern, Toni Kroos is really exciting.
"This kid is really comprehensive, every item is very good, especially when he stops the ball, that fake move is really very clever, and his ball protection, his physical fitness is very good, and his ability to protect the ball is very good. See It seems clumsy, but it is difficult to grab his ball." Zidane analyzed.
What Modric is best at is actually getting rid of it. When he stops the ball and gets rid of it, he can often change the rhythm of the game.
Toni Kroos's ability to get rid of is actually not strong, but he basically does not lose the ball because he is very good at protecting the ball.
It seems that the attack just now, whether it is passed to Marcelo or advanced, is actually nothing. Many midfielders can do it, including Pogba and Verratti.
But Toni Kroos stopped Schweinsteiger in front of the ball, then swerved to the left, protected the ball between three defenders, and then passed Marcelo to the bottom cross.
The whole process is definitely the best embodiment of Toni Cross' ability!
"This kid always keeps the ball in his hands. I don't like it very much, so let him let go of his hands and feet. Like the scene just now, we should do it a few more times. Then our midfield strength will improve again." A step up!" Gao Shen said expectantly.
Carlo also laughed, "You have high demands on him, but he is only 24 years old."
Gao Shen and Zidane looked at each other, and laughed in unison.
Who said no?
Sometimes, watching Toni Kroos play football, not to mention the outside media and fans, even if he is advanced, it is easy to misjudge him, thinking that he is already very mature, because his playing style is like this.
But in fact, he is still very young.
For an organizational midfielder, the age of 24 is just the threshold to enter the glorious period of his career, and he is far from reaching the golden age, so Toni Kroos still has considerable potential to tap.
What about Modric?
He's almost 29 years old, and he's a player who couldn't be more mature.
"Judging from the current situation, in the next few years, as long as our players maintain self-discipline, it may be difficult for any team to compete with us in the midfield." Zidane said happily.
Especially after seeing Gao Shen open this window for Toni Kroos tonight, the German midfielder will soon step out of the fence and enter a whole new world.
That is to say, completely enlightened!
...
As Real Madrid broke the deadlock on the field, the situation has quietly changed.
Especially Bayern Munich, they wanted to grab a goal at the beginning, but instead of scoring, they were scored by Real Madrid, which immediately hit Bayern's players hard.
But the team's strategy remains the same.
For Bayern in the away game, one-to-one is usually a very good score, and it can even be said to be a very good score. After returning to the Allianz Arena, they can play more calmly.
Therefore, Bayern still insisted on the same starting tactics at the beginning of the game and continued to attack Real Madrid.
Although Real Madrid has a goal advantage, they are still playing steadily, continuing to adopt the tactics formulated after the opening, and hitting Bayern's counterattack whenever they have a chance.
Toni Kroos, Xabi Alonso and Modric also all took turns to harass and suppress Bayern's midfield.
This allowed Bayern to get close to 80% of the possession rate, which is really very high.
But ball possession is one aspect. The threat created on the court is completely out of proportion to the ball possession rate. The real threatening offenses all come from Real Madrid. Threat.
Their rhythm did not change, and it was always difficult to effectively pass through Real Madrid's defensive formation.
When the game progressed to the 27th minute, it was another quick counterattack from the left by Real Madrid.
Toni Kroos, Marcelo and Ronaldo tried to cooperate, still playing behind Bayern's defense, but failed to hit the ball back to Toni Kroos outside the penalty area.
At this time, Bayern's entire defensive formation had tilted towards Real Madrid's left flank, while the right flank was completely empty.
When Toni Kroos received the return pass from Ronaldo, he turned his back to the left sideline. After stopping the ball, he directly crossed the ball and transferred it.
The ball quickly crossed the entire field and landed precisely on the right side of Real Madrid.
Carvajal stepped in, stopped Toni Kroos' transfer firmly with his foot, and drove the ball into the right corner of the penalty area.
At this time, Di Maria ran back from the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area, pulled out of the penalty area, and pointed his finger in front of him, signaling Carvajal to pass to his side.
Di Maria is a left-footed player, once the ball reaches Di Maria's feet, let him turn, it is a threat.
Especially his left-footed shot.
At the beginning of the season, Gao Shen bet that Di Maria could score and shoot double 20, which also caused an uproar.
But as the season progressed, the Argentine winger showed an amazing state. Not only did he have more than 20 assists, he became the assist leader in the four major European leagues, and he also scored more goals. It can be described as explosive.
Just ask, in this case, how dare Bayern let Di Maria get the ball at the front of the penalty area.
Dante followed Di Maria forward, but next to Dante, Benzema was the opposite of Di Maria, and quickly stepped forward diagonally.
At almost the same time, Carvajal took the ball with his right foot.
Abala rushed over, but before he could stop it, he saw Carvajal's pick pass directly to the right of the penalty spot in the penalty area.
After Benzema caught up, he stopped the ball with his chest and moved forward. Before the football landed, he volleyed with his right foot.
Vidal was pinned behind Benzema, and goalkeeper Tom Stark gave up the goal, but Benzema's volley was faster, passing Stark's side and heading straight for the goal. Right.
"goallllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!"
"Two to zero!!!!"
"Real Madrid make another victory!!!"
"Goal from Benzema!"
"It's really surprising. Real Madrid suddenly made a big transfer, Carvajal's pass from the right, and Di Maria and Benzema's cross-running, messed up Bayern's defense."
"This is exactly the same as the crossover between Lahm and Gotze just now, but Real Madrid's cooperation this time is more threatening."
"Two to zero!"
"In less than ten minutes, Real Madrid led by two goals, and they were all counterattacks."
The entire Bernabéu stadium was full of cheers from Real Madrid fans.
Benzema and all the other players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, only the Bayern players looked a little depressed and frustrated.
Because they found that they had possession of the ball, but it was difficult to create a threat.
This scene is really similar to Barcelona in recent years.
Could it be that Guardiola's football is really outdated?
