Chapter 1082 On-the-Spot Adjustment

In the stands of Meazza Stadium, Real Madrid fans were shouting wildly, but in the commentary box at the top of the stands, everyone except the Spanish commentator fell into embarrassment and silence.

In the second half, Real Madrid's furious attack didn't create much of a threat except for Cristiano Ronaldo's shot at the center post. Instead, Manchester United counterattacked vigorously.

But the situation changed. First, Salah was injured and ended up off the field. Marcelo pressed forward with all his strength to assist. Real Madrid's long-range shots from outside frequently missed... but they managed to regain a victory.

In fact, although the process of this goal is weird, it is not uncommon for a long-range shot to hit the defensive player's sideline, allowing teammates to miss it and score.

The key problem is that it was Pogba who took the long shot and Vazquez who missed the goal. They were both players who had just been replaced by Zidane.

The nickname Qi Xuanzong is only circulated on the Chinese Internet, but there are similar nicknames in European football... Zidane's choice of substitutions is often hard to understand, but often strangely achieves good results.

In good conscience, Vazquez was not a good choice to replace Benzema. Although Kroos was in poor condition, Pogba, who replaced him... failed to hit any of his four shots.

But Pogba sent a weird indirect assist, and Vazquez scored a key goal for Real Madrid.

Sun Wu bent over his waist and reviewed the missed ball in his mind. Except for Fletcher's failure to make a decisive foul, there were no obvious holes in Manchester United's defense. Pavard also noticed Vazquez coming in.

But who would have thought that the ball, which was an outrageous long shot and deflected to the right, suddenly appeared on the left side of the penalty area, and appeared right in front of Vazquez. The Spanish player volleyed directly into the air without thinking, and Pavard had no chance to intercept it.

After pondering for a few seconds, Sun Wu made a substitution gesture toward the sidelines.

"Manchester United finally made a substitution." Mortensen cheered up, "Oh, it's not Fabinho, but Herrera!"

"The right choice." Mourinho had a different view. "Now that Real Madrid's morale is greatly boosted, defense alone is not enough. It must put a certain amount of pressure on Real Madrid's defense. Herrera is capable of sending penetrating direct passes. And he’s very tough defensively.”

Magic Bird saw it very accurately. Sun Wu deliberately retreated to interfere with Modric and Pogba. Harry Kane also retreated very deep. On the contrary, Herrera's position was slightly advanced.

When Real Madrid's morale was boosted and they attacked with all their strength, Sun Wu accurately saw the key point through the "God's perspective".

Modric and Pogba appear more near the penalty area.

Wandering in the ribs on both sides, he can cross, cut in and shoot, and send direct passes. They all hope to send threatening passes or even shots, and the player who organizes and controls the team's rhythm is Casemiro.

It is said that Casemiro is Europe's top defensive midfielder, but this Brazilian has good organizational and control abilities, but he is usually overshadowed by Kroos and Modric.

At this critical moment, Casemiro shoulders the important task of connecting the midfield and backfield. As a transfer station, he needs to send the ball to the weak areas of Manchester United's defensive position. He needs to accurately judge the running position to meet the frontcourt players, and he also needs to retreat in a timely manner. Beware of Manchester United's counterattack... Herrera's candy-like interference with it quickly saw the effect.

In the 75th minute, Casemiro received the pass and tried to pass the ball to the right, but Harry Kane jumped up and tried to intercept. Casemiro dunked the ball. At this moment, Herrera pounced on him. Use your hands and feet to push the ball away, and then push it to the left with your toes before falling to the ground.

"Herrera steals the ball... Ouch, Mane!"

"No foul, no foul! This is Manchester United's chance!"

Zhan Jun shouted hoarsely: "Good opportunity, 2 against 3... No, 2 against 2!"

Herrera and Casemiro were entangled on the ground. Mane took the ball and broke through at high speed. Only Ramos was in front of him, and Pepe was restrained by his old rival Harry Kane.

But Ramos learned his lesson this time. He didn't care about the ball at all, and directly grabbed Mane's jersey and knocked him down.

"Beep!"

The referee couldn't stand it any longer, so he called a foul and gave Ramos a yellow card.

"Tactical foul... Ramos received Real Madrid's fourth yellow card in this game and the seventh yellow card from both sides." Zhan Jun snorted unhappily, "Generally speaking, the atmosphere of this game is quite harmonious... …”

"It's the 75th minute now, less than 20 minutes left, 7 yellow cards and no red cards." Zhang Lu said with a smile: "In such a heavyweight game, it is indeed harmonious."

Sun Wu's substitutions and on-the-spot adjustments were effective. Herrera's mobility and candy-like defensive style worked, and he has the ability to find gaps and deliver threatening balls.

It would be difficult to say if Fabinho is replaced. The Brazilian midfielder has strong confrontation ability, excellent position selection, and strong frontal defensive ability, but his mobility is slightly weak.

Two minutes later, Herrera stole the ball again in the circle, but this time the referee called a foul on the Spanish midfielder and he pushed Casemiro.

Soon, Real Madrid made on-the-spot adjustments. Pogba and Modric took turns to retreat to receive the ball. With an extra contact point, Herrera's pressing was not very effective.

Sun Wu immediately directed Herrera to move back, and the two of them plus Kanter formed a strong firewall.

The three human rights responsibilities are clear. Herrera is responsible for the right midfielder, Sun Wu is responsible for the left midfielder, and Kante is in the middle. Manchester United adopts a regional defense. Even if Real Madrid players change positions, it will not disrupt Manchester United's defensive system.

Modric retreated to receive the ball and patiently organized, and now there is only one goal. The Croatian knows that Manchester United's defense is excellent but not impeccable. However, in the second half, Real Madrid's offense was too hasty and often ended in long shots.

After sending a 30-meter cross pass to Carvajal, Modric turned and waved to Marcelo behind him to move forward.

Marcelo lifted his chin towards Manenunu, signaling that the Senegalese was very fast.

Modric simply ran over and said, "Don't be afraid, you go forward, I will be behind you."

Seeing that Marcelo had not yet reacted, Modric told him bluntly, "We don't have any yellow cards."

Manchester United soon discovered that Marcelo, who was scared by Mane and did not dare to make a big forward move, made a comeback and was even more ruthless than before. He even used a wonderful attack to enter the penalty area and sent a cross pass that was thrillingly missed by De Gea. Use your feet to block it.

Sun Wu turned his head and glanced at Modric, who was standing behind. The Croatian's on-the-spot adjustments were not much weaker than his own.

With Sun Wu, Herrera, Kanter and even Harry Kane all gathered in the middle, it is difficult for Real Madrid to open a gap in the middle, and these three people have no cards, and it is difficult for Real Madrid players to get good results. long-range shooting opportunities.

Modric chose to strengthen the side attack, and it was from the left. Vazquez's breakthrough ability was slightly weaker, but after Marcelo penetrated forward, Ronaldo immediately pulled out from the penalty area. The two people can form a cooperation.

Alderweireld had to press out to help defend, and Herrera and Kante also had to lean slightly to the right. Sun Wu was sensitive to the fact that Modric's final choice was still in the middle.

In the 83rd minute, Sun Wu's prediction was verified.

Marcelo bumped into Pavard on the wing, and the ball was walked away by Vazquez. Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball on the left rib and suddenly sent a cross in two consecutive turns.

The ball rolled right past Kanter's toes, and Herrera, who had hoped to destroy it, was blocked by Pogba.

"C Luo C Luo C Luo..."

"Oh, Pogba... no, it's Modric, the Croatian midfielder is unguarded!"
