Chapter 590 Water Lord Ramos

In fact, most of Manchester United's players are just running according to their respective positions. For example, the full-backs are shuttling up and down, and the wing forwards have to switch positions between the side and the middle in addition to shuttling up and down. The running positions of other people are also nothing special, and most teams can do it.

But why can Manchester United do it? That's because they have Bruno in their team.

Everyone is running according to their own routes, only Bruno's running range is very large, even very large, almost covering the entire stadium.

His running connects teammates running according to their own routes.

For example, if the right back wants to pass the ball to the forward, it is usually a long diagonal pass, but the accuracy of such a pass is not high, and it is easy to be seen by the opponent. Because your long pass will definitely only be passed to the player on the left side, which is relatively easier to defend.

But with Bruno, the right back can pass the ball to Bruno, and then Bruno can pass the ball or dribble the ball.

In this way, the accuracy will be higher, and it will not be easy to be intercepted by the opponent in the middle of the way. Moreover, there are more options to choose from. I can achieve this ultimate goal through the passing of two players, or I can bring the ball over by myself. In addition, the opponent will not know where I am going to pass the ball and what I am going to do, which increases the difficulty of the defense.

When the ball is passed to Bruno's feet, Manchester United's offense has many possibilities, and Real Madrid's defense will also face more choices.

………………

The long pass is a multiple-choice question with only one alternative answer, but passing it to Bruno is a multiple-choice question with multiple alternative answers.

This is Bruno's role in Manchester United's tactical system.

If Bruno did not have the stamina to run forever, the excellent overall view, and the excellent passing and ball control skills, this tactic would not work.

Bruno is so unique that Manchester United has a unique football.

Manchester United uses their fast characteristics to constantly put pressure on Real Madrid.

During this period, Real Madrid has been a little embarrassed, and their offense cannot be played because they have to spend more energy on defense.

When they lost the ball in the frontcourt, they didn't even have time to organize the frontcourt siege, and they had to quickly return to defense. If they didn't return to defense, the backcourt would be empty.

It's not that they haven't done this before. After losing the ball, they didn't return to defense immediately, but surrounded and sieged. As a result, the opponent passed the ball before they surrounded it, and then played a fast break. The backcourt was empty, and Bruno chose a point in the frontcourt to threaten the goal guarded by Navas.

If it weren't for Navas's outstanding performance, I'm afraid they would fall behind first.

Bruno saw the current situation of Real Madrid. He believes in "killing you while you are sick", and knows that if you want to score, then it's now.

Real Madrid was a little distracted by Manchester United's fast football. Maybe Zidane made careful preparations for this game, but it is obvious that the players of Real Madrid underestimated the enemy. They didn't expect Manchester United's football to be so fast!

If they missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for Real Madrid to score again after they recovered and made adjustments.

Bruno made up his mind and began to look for opportunities.

………………

Real Madrid's defense is not a monolithic one.

Ramos and Varane, the two central defenders, play an important role in Real Madrid's defense, but they also have their own responsibilities in offense.

Especially their central defender captain Ramos. When the team can't open the situation, Ramos will advance to assist the offense, and his forward insertion is a very powerful weapon, which can often achieve miraculous results.

Ramos, nicknamed "Water Lord", has a strong personal attacking power. Zidane often uses him as a center forward when the scene is in a stalemate. Last season, the captain of Real Madrid had an outstanding performance of 10 goals and 2 assists, and this season he also scored 5 goals and 1 assist.

Not only in the club, but also in the Spanish national team, Ramos' scoring ability is also very much needed by the national team.

When the team is in trouble, it is often his goal that opens the door to victory for the team.

Now Real Madrid and Manchester United are in a stalemate, and there is even a tendency to fall behind. Ramos will definitely rush up to join the attack, and then it will be Manchester United's chance.

Bruno naturally knows Ramos' characteristics and ideas very well, and he is waiting for Ramos to rush up to join the attack.

………………

In fact, Ramos is indeed planning to come up to attack, and Real Madrid is now at a disadvantage.

Yes, it is at a disadvantage, which is very rare in the game.

As the captain of the team, Ramos wants to reverse this situation!

Almost all of Real Madrid's offensive players have been studied thoroughly by Manchester United. Modric was watched by Kante. Before, he had a flying tackle that was almost a foul and knocked Modric to the ground with the ball. The referee only gave a verbal warning and did not play a card. Kante therefore showed Modric his strength and his dominance at the front of the penalty area.

Ronaldo was entangled by Bruno. Although he could get rid of it, it was more and more difficult each time, and it took too long, which was not conducive to Real Madrid's overall attack.

As for Kroos, Isco and Benzema, everyone was trapped in Manchester United's overall defense.

Currently in the frontcourt, the offensive and defensive order is balanced.

This balance is simply a deadlock, which is not good for Real Madrid and must be broken.

His own back-up is an important means to break this deadlock.

Ramos is observing and brewing the opportunity to plug in.

………………

Manchester United has just finished an attack, and the players quickly returned to defense.

This is their characteristic. After completing the attack and forming a dead ball, they will never stay in the front court for a moment. They will all retreat to their defensive positions. When attacking, they will pour down like a surging flood peak, and when retreating, they will retreat like a receding tide, and they will retreat cleanly in an instant.

Navas kicked the football to the front court with his big foot. Bruno had the upper hand in the header with Modric, and he headed the football back.

The ball fell to Casemiro's feet. When he was about to pass the ball forward again, he heard Ramos's voice behind him: "Carlos! Pass the ball to me!"

Casemiro knew that Ramos was going to rush forward. After he turned around and passed the ball to Ramos, he ran back and came to Ramos' position to help him fill in the position.

Ramos rushed up with the ball.

Bruno's eyes lit up on the opposite side.

The opportunity has come!

So what if Casemiro is defending the central defender? He didn't take this person seriously at all. He was a defensive midfielder, not a full-time central defender.

………………

Facing Harry Kane's interception, Ramos just changed direction and accelerated to shake him off.

As a Spanish central defender, Ramos has a very rare and delicate footwork.

Bruno turned his head to find Ronaldo, who was waiting on the wing. Ramos may not pass the ball to Ronaldo. This is not certain. Bruno decided to choose an appropriate position. He ran to the position between the wing and the middle, just in front of Ronaldo. He used this position to force Ramos not to pass the ball to Ronaldo.

If you want to pass the ball, I will intercept it.

I believe that with Ramos's football awareness, it is impossible not to know this.

Then he made a gesture to Kante, indicating that he should follow Modric closely. Doing so forced Ramos to rush forward with the ball himself. When he rushed to the front of the penalty area, he had no way to rush.

After Ramos passed Harry Kane, there were only two midfielders of Manchester United in front of him.

He looked around. Bruno was paying attention to Ronaldo. The intention was too obvious. He was stuck in front of the passing route between himself and Ronaldo, and he looked back at Ronaldo from time to time. What was this for if not to guard against Ronaldo? If he passed it himself, it would be right in the opponent's hands.

He looked at the other side again. Modric followed Kante closely.

Further out, Kroos, Benzema, and Isco are not in the best position to receive the ball.

In front of him, there is a very obvious blank corridor. In this corridor, there is no Manchester United player. He can kill all the way to the front of their penalty area and then face the opposing central defender directly...

This is a huge temptation. As long as he can break through successfully, he can disrupt Manchester United's defense.

………………

Ramos doesn't think there is any trap here. Even if there is a trap, he can quickly pass the ball and get out of it calmly.

Real Madrid's overall ability can guarantee this.

Thinking of this, he made a fake move to pass the ball to Ronaldo, tricking Bruno to take a step back, and then he dribbled the ball forward in a straight line and broke through!

"Ramos! Breaking through with the ball! He rushed in!"

"This is an attacking method that Real Madrid is good at! The central defenders come in from the back and disrupt the opponent's defense!"

"Manchester United's defense didn't seem to expect Ramos to go forward like this... They didn't know what to do."

But in fact, Manchester United's players almost vomited after watching the Real Madrid game video, so how could they not know the characteristics of Ramos and Varane?

Kante saw Ramos dribbling forward and rushed up immediately.

When he appeared at a distance that Ramos could feel, Ramos passed the ball to Modric and continued to run forward.

Two passes!

Modric didn't stop the ball but passed the ball back to him directly, like a wall.

When Ramos received the ball, he was already facing Manchester United's central defender.

This is a very dangerous distance, of course, it is dangerous for Manchester United.

He can play various cooperation with those flexible forwards of Real Madrid here. As long as he runs to the empty space, he can push a through ball.

Or he doesn't even need to look at the running positions of his forward teammates, he can just pass the ball directly to the empty space, and if he can catch it, it will be a buzzer-beater.

Can't catch it? The probability of not being able to catch it is too low. Real Madrid players have played together for so many years, how could they not know how to take advantage of such an opportunity?
