Chapter 1072: Surviving a Catastrophe May Not Necessarily Lead to Future Blessings

In the 23rd minute, Van Dijk once again made a precise diagonal long pass to find Salah. This was a tactical routine of stealing the ball on the left and immediately looking for a breakthrough on the right.

Although Manchester United has been pressing high from the beginning until now, the breakthrough point of attack has always been on the right. Marcelo is mentally prepared for this. This time, even Cristiano Ronaldo came back to help defend.

Salah's light unloading of the ball with the outside instep took advantage of the moment Marcelo pounced on him and suddenly accelerated and cut inside. Pavard on the outside attracted Ronaldo's attention. When Salah shortened his body and accelerated to get rid of Marcelo who was caught off guard. At the time, Kroos and Casemiro pounced on him.

"Well done!" Mortensen shouted: "Salah... cross the ball... Best gets the ball!"

Mourinho on the side stared at Griezmann with squinted eyes.

When Lucas intercepted the ball and Van Dijk sent a long pass, Mourinho noticed that Griezmann did not insert himself inside and outside the penalty area to look for opportunities like a winger or forward. Instead, he ran horizontally at high speed. When Sala When He Heng's pass found Sun Wu in the middle, Griezmann had already shifted to the right rib.

"Best...oh, Griezmann!"

When everyone's attention was focused on Salah, Sun Wu turned half a circle to block Kroos behind him, and awkwardly passed the ball to Griezmann on the right rib.

At this moment, there was a situation of more and less on the left side of Real Madrid. Pavar attracted the attention of Ronaldo on the wing. Casemiro rushed into the penalty area following the sprinting Salah. Modric was Watch out for Fletcher's back row in the middle. Marcelo hasn't returned to his position yet, and Griezmann is unguarded.

Griezmann calmly stopped the ball and half-turned to face the goal. He turned his head to look at Pavard who was cutting in front of him, and then suddenly accelerated and passed Ramos who rushed to cover up the defense and entered the penalty area.

"Griezmann...oh, shot directly from a small angle!"

"Navas...get rid of...Salah!"

"Oh, Modric, the Croatian made a clearance in front of the goal line!"

Mortensen shouted with regret and annoyance, "Only a little bit, just a little bit, damn Croatians, I hate Croatians the most!"

Mourinho didn't express any opinion, but he leaned down and glanced at Zidane who was standing on the sidelines... It's normal to cheat, but the key is that your opponent is not an honest person.

It is normal for players to change positions during a game, especially for wingers and forwards. For example, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo often changes positions with Benzema in the center and Bale on the right.

Changing positions seems simple, but changing positions at critical moments will test the strategic vision of the players and the tactical level of the head coach.

After Manchester United succeeded in pressing the high position, they immediately looked for the winger on the other side. At this time, Griezmann chose to switch to the right side, which put Real Madrid's defense under tremendous pressure. This is a reflection of Griezmann's personal ability and also Manchester United's. A reflection of the tactical level of the coaching staff.

Mourinho is very familiar with most of Real Madrid's main players. He is very aware that Ramos is a possible loophole. After Griezmann's temporary change of position, the high defensive expertise of the new Real Madrid captain is likely to be eliminated. Manchester United took advantage.

Sun Wu gave Salah a thumbs up. He had different ideas from Mourinho. In his opinion, the key to this attack was that Salah used his personal ability to get rid of Marcelo, who was defending at a high position. This caused a big hole in Real Madrid's left defense. Ramos was suppressed by Griezmann, which directly caused Navas to be threatened.

After thinking about it in his mind, Sun Wu clapped his hands and made a continue gesture towards Salah.

In the 25th minute, Manchester United repeated their old tricks. Kante intercepted the ball in the middle of the midfield, and Fletcher passed it diagonally to Salah who retreated to receive the ball. The Egyptian winger once again successfully got rid of Marcelo who rushed forward.

This time Salah's dribbling was interfered by Casemiro. Although the pass found Griezmann who had changed positions again, Ramos pressed out in advance and ended Manchester United's time with a foul on Griezmann. attack.

Very good, everything is according to plan... Sun Wu ran to the spot where the foul was committed with no expression on his face, Griezmann put the ball upright, and the two of them covered their mouths with their hands and whispered something.

"The distance is right, but the angle is a bit off." Zhan Jun frowned and said, "You can shoot directly, but it's a bit reluctant... Oh, it should be a direct shot!"

Zhang Lu chuckled and said: "Hehe, it must be a direct shot... Harry Kane and Salah are the only ones standing in the penalty area, and even Fletcher is outside the penalty area."

A large number of boos sounded in the stands. Zida, who was stroking his bald head, felt bitter in his heart. What can he do? Best is so shameless...

It’s not that Manchester United doesn’t pay attention to this set piece, but Best obviously pays more attention to the defense and secondary attack after the set piece is cleared, because in addition to Salah and Harry Kane, Griezmann may take the penalty kick. Together with Best and other Manchester United players, they stood in the middle and frontcourt in an orderly manner, ready to capture the second goal.

Real Madrid had nothing to do about this. They had to have a numerical advantage in the penalty area, and they had to line up a human wall. Where there were still manpower, even Ronaldo didn't dare to stand forward and try to find a counterattack opportunity.

Standing in the wall of people, Ronaldo was speechless and shouted to Sun Wu who was not far away: "Best, it's just me, the Welshman is not here!"

Sun Wu, who was whispering to Griezmann, curled his lips and shouted at Ronaldo: "Real Madrid has scored 32 goals this season from quick counterattacks after defending set pieces."

Kroos' mouth twitched in the wall. Even the Real Madrid players themselves didn't know this data.

Sun Wu raised his left and right feet in turn, tapping the turf with his toes. Although he has had the advantage since the start of the game, the goal has never come. This set kick is a good opportunity.

"Everyone remembers that this time last year, Sun Wu scored a free kick with his left foot and killed Barcelona." Zhan Jun said nervously: "In the 27th minute... let's see... Griezmann... fake run, yes Sun Wu!"

Zhang Lu: "Oh, the ground ball... has passed!"

Navas, who made a mistake in judgment, watched in despair as the ball suddenly flew from the feet of the jumping Ronaldo, Kroos and Benzema.

"boom!"

"Oh, it's a goalpost again, the second goalpost in this game!"

The desperate Navas turned his head dumbfounded and watched the ball hit the goal post and then roll along the goal line...

"boom!"

The ball hit the goal post on the other side.

"Oh my God, the third goalpost!"

At this moment, the stands were silent. Everyone watched the ball being bounced between two goalposts like a ping-pong ball. Modric got ahead of Griezmann and made another tackle on the goal line.

"Oh my God, I didn't come in!" Mortensen covered his head. "Damn Navas, did he come out of the Wax Mansion?"

Sun Wu widened his eyes and akimbo, a little speechless. This ground ball free kick attack was a classic. He hit the near post and then hit the far post on the other side along the sideline. Na, who was standing near the goal line, The gas actually didn't move...if it moved, it would probably cause an inconvenience.

Zhan Jun felt a little uneasy after the strong praise, "Fans all know that there are some unspoken rules on the court. Although they cannot be verified every time, but..."

Zhang Lu: "For example, the team that hits the goalpost first often...the team that is hit by the goalpost will be lucky if it survives the disaster..."

Sun Wu took a deep breath. Surviving a catastrophe may not mean he will be lucky in the future!

In the first two Champions League finals against Barcelona, ​​Sun Wu basically completed the counterattack with a frustrated mentality.

But this time is different. Although the strength is close, Real Madrid has too many loopholes in tactics.

Sun Wu has full confidence in victory and the big-ear cup placed on the sidelines!
