Chapter 105 The Incredible Ramos
"Oh oh oh——"
Tang Zheng used the penalty kick as a feint to attract the three high points of Boateng, Mandzukic and Dante, so that Ramos was temporarily unmarked. It was too late for Muller behind him to help, so Allianz There was a huge exclamation in the sky above the stadium.
Ramos is not very tall, but he is very accurate in judging the placement of the football and has excellent headers. He has Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng as cover successively. Ramos will naturally not be able to do it when no one is marking him. Wasted opportunity.
He jumped up high, twisted his waist and swung his abdomen, and pushed his forehead hard against the football flying in the air.
Neuer's reaction in front of the goal is not unpleasant, it is almost a conditioned reflex of the body, and he dives sideways, but Ramos's header is very powerful, and there is a bounce in front of the goal, and it takes time for Neuer's body to get to the ground... …
"Goooooooooooooooal——"
Thiago, the commentator of Spanish National TV Channel 5, suddenly shouted: "Sergio Ramos! His third goal of the season is so important! An away goal in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals! Real Madrid President The score is 2:0 leading Bayern Munich! The next game will be very difficult for Bayern Munich. They scored two goals in a row but still cannot advance. Want to advance? They must score three goals in a row without conceding a goal!"
Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at Ramos shown on the broadcast screen and gave endless praises, but his focus was more on Tang Zheng, who was covering: "Of course Ramos headers It was a beautiful goal, but Tang Zheng’s role cannot be underestimated. It was he who attracted the defensive attention of three Bayern players near the penalty spot, otherwise Ramos would not have been able to get a chance in such a relaxed environment."
British Sky commentator Andy Gray laughed and said: "Don's screen role was great! Sergio Ramos was like the No. 4 in volleyball. He hit a super smash on Don's feint. !”
Martin Gray nodded and said: "Sergio Ramos headed the ball beautifully, and Don's feint was even more exciting. He attracted three Bayern Munich defenders at the penalty spot. Don's credit is at least half of it! "
Ramos was very excited after scoring the goal. As a central defender, he had limited offensive opportunities, but he was able to help the team open the scoring in the Champions League semifinals, and it was a priceless away goal. The excitement in his heart is indescribable.
So he opened his arms and ran all the way to the area in front of Isco who sent the assist, and celebrated in a unique sliding and kneeling style.
The fanatical atmosphere at the Allianz Stadium was reduced to a minimum. Real Madrid fans who accompanied the team to the away game once again had the opportunity to show their presence, danced and made huge cheers.
The on-site director replayed the entire goal in slow motion and then switched the camera.
To the home team coach Guardiola.
He frowned, and next to him was his assistant Torrent. The two were having a brief exchange, hoping that the team could equalize the score if they gained the upper hand.
Fortunately, the goal is conceded quite early now. If the goal is conceded in the second half, it will be an absolute disaster!
It's not too late to make amends.
At the other end, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti gave a simple high-five to his assistants and then quickly went into tactical deployment to remind the players on the field to concentrate on the game.
It's a good thing to be ahead in away games, but in many cases it's easy to be extremely happy and sad.
The tie no longer exists, which also means that the horizontal screen situation is broken.
Immediately, the Bayern star's face turned pale as shown in the broadcast.
If a 0:1 loss in an away game still has a chance to come back at home, then a 0:1 deficit at home basically means that the chance of reversal and advancement is minimized.
Thinking of this possibility, Bayern players can't calm down...
The game restarted, and even though Bayern, which was lagging behind, had a kick-off advantage, they didn't know how to play the rest of the game.
In the first round, the Bernabeu failed to score for 90 minutes. In the second round, they returned to the home court and attacked again, and the offensive was overwhelming. However, Real Madrid used a corner kick opportunity to score. Bayern players were worried that they would try to tear apart Real Madrid's defense in the next game. At the same time, it was counterattacked by Real Madrid's quick counterattack.
This feeling is very subtle.
Realizing that the players on the field had a bad mentality, head coach Guardiola took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and ran to the sidelines, pressing down with both hands on the Bayern players on the field to signal the players to stabilize their mentality.
With Guardiola's instructions from the sidelines, although the Bayern players on the field can't say they see hope of reversal and advancement, they at least have a certain unity of thought.
※※※
After all, Bayern players have all experienced big scenes, and there is no one who has failed.
Under the cheers and cheers of the home fans, they felt shameful and courageous.
First, Robben cut in from the right and suddenly passed the ball. Mandzukic carried Pepe and completed a semi-volley. Fortunately, goalkeeper Casillas was well prepared and flew to save the ball from the baseline.
Muller then received a direct pass from Toni Kroos and opened the distance between him and Tang Zheng, then shot a cold arrow from the top of the penalty area.
This time it was Casillas who also made a wonderful save and kept the goal.
"Ouch-ouch——"
Bayern players continued to threaten the goal guarded by Casillas, and the home fans at the Allianz Arena created a wave of momentum.
Guardiola, who was still worried about the team's transition from defense to offense, gradually shifted his attention to offense. The team was now two goals behind with a total score and had no choice but to attack, so he had brief exchanges with assistant Torrent from time to time.
Although Real Madrid was passively defensive, Ancelotti was not as nervous as Guardiola. He just stood on the sidelines and quietly observed the defensive positions of his players.
In the Italian defense, as long as there are no problems with the defensive position, it is difficult for Bayern's offense to create a threat.
Of course, it is fortunate that the low-level mistakes of the defense occurred in the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals. If it had been left to the semi-finals, it would have been an absolute disaster.
In the 22nd minute, Toni Kroos suddenly made a long pass about 30 meters away from the baseline on the right to find Muller who was diagonally inserted into the back point. However, the force was slightly stronger and the pass was deeper. Goalkeeper Casillas attacked and picked it up. Drop the ball.
Casillas, who got the ball, changed his slow pace and directly threw the ball with a small assist.
The on-site director quickly switched the camera, and the ball came to the feet of left back Coentrao. Robben and Muller immediately rushed to grab it, but Coentrao did not stick to the ball. He directly hit the ball with the arch of his right foot with his back to the direction of attack. The ball was passed towards the ribs.
Muller quickly turned around and cooperated with Mandzukic to surround Tang Zheng who was receiving the ball.
But Tang Zheng made a fake move to catch the ball, which tricked Muller and Mandzukic into subconsciously speeding up.
One bets that Tang Zheng will move forward to meet the ball, while the other bets that Tang Zheng will take the ball and turn around.
The results of it?
Tang Zheng's forward move to meet the ball was just a fake move, and then he quickly gave the ball away, and then turned ninety degrees to the left with his left foot as the axis.
"Oh oh oh——"
At the same time, the Allianz Arena erupted into loud exclamations.
Facing Mandzukic's sudden stop and stretching his foot, Tang Zheng used the outside instep of his right foot to move the ball to the right, widening the distance between him and Mandzukic.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up his right foot and made a long pass to find Di Maria who was cutting in at high speed from the right.
Left back Alaba is deeply influenced by head coach Guardiola. His assists are too high, so he is in a state of gritting his teeth and working hard to catch up.
In this case, Boateng, who was responsible for the defense, had to pull out to defend.
In order to prevent Real Madrid from quickly counterattacking and scoring a goal, Boateng did not choose to fight and retreat. Instead, he directly knocked down Di Maria on the left side of the defense about 30 meters from the bottom line, and exchanged a yellow card for a temporary successful defense.
Head coach Guardiola did not blame Boateng, but gave Boateng a thumbs up.
In Guardiola's view, if a foul is not committed in time, the consequences will be disastrous!
You must know that Real Madrid counterattacks very quickly. Benzema in the center and Cristiano Ronaldo on the left are already in place. As long as Di Maria widens the passing angle, he can pass the ball, so a tactical foul is necessary.
German Sky commentator Marcel Leif first marveled at Tang Zheng's performance, and then praised Boateng's timely foul: "Jerome Boateng's foul was really timely, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, Real Madrid's quick counterattack The efficiency is astonishingly high.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the on-site director gave close-up shots of several Real Madrid players running towards Bayern's penalty area.
Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ramos, Benzema and Pepe.
Marcel Leif changed his words: "The set piece is also a very good opportunity for Real Madrid, so Bayern Munich cannot let up any slack. Whether it is Don or Cristiano Ronaldo, they have extremely strong heads." With the ability to compete for the ball, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, and Karim Benzema can all pose a threat to Manuel Neuer's goal..."
※※※
Di Maria stands on the left side of the football, Isco on the right.
Because the angle was too far, Bayern only sent Robben as a human wall.
Ribery stayed close to the sideline to prevent Isco, who was standing close to the sideline, from advancing.
All other Bayern players entered the penalty area and participated in corner kick defense. After all, Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pepe and Ramos had excellent header capabilities and had to be defended.
In order to cause the most trouble to Bayern's defensive players, Cristiano Ronaldo held Tang Zheng's waist with both hands, while Tang Zheng held Benzema in his arms and lined up, making it difficult for Bayern's defensive players to do anything. They had to open their arms and just Like defending the opponent's breakthrough player head-on in a basketball game.
Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the players from both sides standing in two rows in the penalty area and suddenly felt something: "Real Madrid was relatively passive during this period, but they counterattacked vigorously. Corner kicks and frontcourt free kicks are one and the same." A very good scoring opportunity. If Real Madrid can seize the limited opportunities to expand the score, I think the chance of advancing to the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons will become certain..."
As he spoke, English referee Webb blew his whistle: "Beep~"
Di Maria raised his left arm and started to run.
Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are currently the two players with the most header goals in the Real Madrid team, and they have received the most attention.
Considering that Ramos helped Real Madrid open the scoring, he is also paying attention to Alaba.
Boateng, Dante, Mandzukic and Muller focused on Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, with Tang Zheng receiving the most attention.
Di Maria raised his left foot and kicked the football. Robben took off symbolically and let the football fly over his head.
At the same time, the Bayern players standing inside the penalty area, that is, in the penalty area, suddenly became extremely nervous and took the initiative to approach the Real Madrid players they were defending.
In the blind spot of referee Weber's vision, the Bayern players consciously pulled the shirts of the Real Madrid players they were guarding behind or on the sides with their hands.
"Ouch-ouch——"
The frenetic atmosphere at the Allianz Arena was still very frenetic, and it was obvious that the home fans had absolute confidence in Bayern's defence.
The football flew at a low height, but with a strong internal arc from outside to inside, it flew towards the area where Tang Zheng and Benzema were, which is the front point of the corner kick defense.
Suddenly, Boateng, Dante and Mandzukic became very nervous.
At this moment, Tang Zheng, who was running to the penalty spot, suddenly stopped on the spot, took a step back, and turned his back to the goal.
Bayern's defensive players didn't know what Tang Zheng was going to do, but Boateng knew that he couldn't let Tang Zheng head the ball, even with his back to the goal.
The football with the inner arc was originally closer to Benzema. As Tang Zheng took a step back, he became closer to the falling football.
Judging from the broadcast, it looks more like grabbing food from a tiger's mouth, that is, trying to grab Benzema's header.
Tang Zheng did not choose to header the ball when his back was to the goal, because it was difficult to control the placement of the ball with his back to the goal. In addition, Neuer is one of the top five goalkeepers in the world, so there cannot be any negligence.
So Tang Zheng chose to use the back of his head to rub the ball backwards. The ball's trajectory changed and flew backwards in a parabola above everyone's heads.
I don’t know if all the attention of the Bayern players was on Tang Zheng who headed the ball, so much so that the Bayern defensive players at the back point forgot to take off.
At this time, Ramos, who was ambushing at the back point, did not forget to take off. He jumped up high like the previous goal, twisted his waist and swung his abdomen, and pushed the football that Tang Zheng had passed behind to the goal area directly in front of him. It's the lower right corner of the goal in the broadcast screen.
Because the distance was too close, goalkeeper Neuer was indifferent and could only watch the football flying towards the lower right corner of the goal...
The fanatical atmosphere at the Allianz Arena subsided again. Ramos, who scored the goal, was even more excited than the previous goal. He put his hands behind his ears, ran all the way excitedly, and then started sliding and kneeling again to celebrate.
But Ramos's personal celebration was not over yet. He stood up, pointed his index fingers at the ground like Cristiano Ronaldo often celebrates goals, and roared loudly toward the home team fans in the stands with great excitement.
The Bayern fans who should have responded with boos became silent, because Ramos scored twice to make the total score 3:0. If Bayern wants to reverse and advance, they must score four goals in a row without conceding a goal.
"Incredible!" At the same time, Thiago, the commentator of Spanish National TV Channel 5, was passionate: "Sergio Ramos scored twice after receiving Don's header. He helped Real Madrid beat the total score. Expand to 3:0!”
