Chapter 1497 Hit the Door From a Small Angle

"The first ten minutes are the key to the key!"

"Klopp's team has always been jokingly called the 60-minute team, because their football style can often only play at a high level in 60 minutes. As their physical fitness declines, their performance will inevitably decline. .”

"The Germans like to call themselves boxers, they think of a football game as a boxing ring, and they try to knock out each other with one punch as soon as they come up."

"So in the face of such an opponent, we must remain patient and at the same time pay attention to the meticulousness of the defense."

"The two ribs, especially our left rib, Salah is very good at making a fuss on this side. Whether it is retreating to get the ball to plan an attack, or suddenly cutting forward after cutting inside, they are all aimed at hitting behind us. Rib."

"So, our goalkeeper must maintain a high degree of concentration, and pay attention to filling the loopholes in the defense when necessary."

...

"Don't worry, when they try to hit the back, I will strike decisively!"

...

Courtois stood on the court, his eyes were extremely firm, but his mind echoed the promise he had just made in the locker room.

The process of the game also proved that Liverpool's offensive routine is indeed the case. It seems that the offensive is fierce, like a storm, but in fact, there is no real threatening opportunity.

Real Madrid's defense is not sloppy, especially when Carvajal and Marcelo are both committed to defending.

Whether it is the protection of the three midfielders in the midfield or the coordination of the defenders, Real Madrid can be described as full of tacit understanding.

No matter how Liverpool pulls and infiltrates, Real Madrid will always have a way to block the ball back, and several times into the penalty area, Real Madrid's defenders can contain the opponent's attack by encircling, assisting defense, or even fouling.

But this time in the eighth minute, there was finally an omission in Real Madrid's defense.

Salah cuts inside and takes away Marcelo.

Toni Kroos didn't get back in time to get in line with Marcelo, giving Salah the chance to pass to Firmino.

After blocking Ramos with his body, the Brazilian headed into the space behind Javi Martinez and Marcelo.

Salah went straight forward quickly, and Arnold even faster, like a bolt of lightning, went straight into the penalty area from the right rib.

The Liverpool right back, who was very active in this game, was even one step faster than Salah, and he was about to get a kick to hit the goal.

At this critical moment, a light green figure quickly jumped out of the small penalty area, took a step ahead of him, and fell to the ground to catch the ball.

Liverpool's right back retracted his foot in time, and Salah also retracted his foot at the same time, but both of them still scratched Courtois who fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was no serious injury.

The Belgian goalkeeper hugged the ball tightly, stood up from the ground, and raised his right fist towards his teammate in front of him.

This is a very strong and powerful signal.

Courtois is telling all Real Madrid teammates that it doesn't matter if there are mistakes, I am behind!

…………

…………

Perhaps affected by Courtois's save, Real Madrid's defense gradually stabilized.

Especially after entering ten minutes, Liverpool's high-position press, especially the strangulation and oppression tactics that quickly targeted Real Madrid's midfield, gradually relaxed, and Real Madrid was able to slowly control the ball in the backcourt.

This is a very obvious signal.

Sure enough, Liverpool was grabbing the start, and even made threats several times, but failed to score.

But now, ten minutes later, seeing that the attack failed, they slowed down appropriately.

Real Madrid has a lot of experience, especially Yang Yang in the frontcourt.

After seeing Liverpool relax the pressure in the midfield and frontcourt, he immediately signaled his teammates to stabilize the rhythm and control the ball.

Technology and ball control are Real Madrid's advantages. If they play that kind of whirlwind attack against Liverpool, Real Madrid will definitely be out of their minds, because this is the style of play that Premier League teams are best at.

Once Real Madrid controlled the ball in the backcourt and slowed down the pace of the game, the advantage gradually emerged.

Just one minute later, Real Madrid planned the first shot of the game from the left.

Marcelo ran from the left rib to the front of the penalty area. After getting the ball, he turned and volleyed with his left foot, but it missed the goal directly.

This is Real Madrid's first shot of the game.

It is not difficult to see how strong Liverpool's high pressure on Real Madrid was in the first ten minutes.

Soon, Liverpool planned another attack and got three consecutive kicks near the front of Real Madrid's penalty area. Milner, Salah and Mane shot three consecutive shots. As a result, Real Madrid's defense and midfielder were caught three times blocked.

The two defensive lines are like two walls, no matter how Liverpool attacks, Real Madrid can block it.

"Real Madrid are a little breathless under the crazy attack of Liverpool."

"Zidane still looks calm on the sidelines, he doesn't seem to intend to change the situation on the field."

The Liverpool fans at the scene were also very excited, and were infected by the performance of the players on the field, especially this wave of continuous pressure on the front of the Real Madrid penalty area, and they scored three shots in one breath, which made them hooked.

But only the players on the Real Madrid field and the head coach Zidane on the sidelines know that Liverpool's attack is really not a threat, because they were all blocked by Real Madrid.

If all three shots threatened the goal, then Real Madrid would definitely be worried.

But now, all three shots were blocked by defensive players, which proves that Real Madrid's defense is effective.

In other words, Liverpool's offensive routines simply cannot find a breakthrough from Real Madrid.

Liverpool's offensive momentum is indeed great, but so what?

The football game is not about who has the most powerful attacking momentum, who has the loudest voice, and in the end, don't you still have to rely on real goals to speak?

Real Madrid players have rich experience in both major finals and games, so they are very clear that such a big attack like this is not scary at all.

On the contrary, loud thunder and little rain are often very dangerous.

Therefore, Real Madrid players still played very patiently, not in a hurry.

The Liverpool players seemed to have tasted the sweetness, and soon organized a wave of fast-paced offensives.

First created a dangerous situation on the left, but failed to turn it into a threat, and then quickly moved to the right. Arnold made a pass and hoisted the ball to the front of the penalty area, but the goalkeeper Courtois made a decisive attack and directly shot the ball from the air. take off.

The Belgian goalkeeper once again raised his right fist, signaling his teammates to hold their ground.

Yang Yang gave a thumbs up to Courtois from afar, and then signaled his teammates to stabilize again and calm down.

He could feel that the Liverpool players were getting a little anxious.

Liverpool players are all participating in the UEFA Champions League final for the first time. They will inevitably be a little impatient, especially in the situation where Real Madrid voluntarily backed down. urgent?

As long as they score one goal, they will have the advantage.

But the more this time, the easier it is to make mistakes.

...

In the 14th minute, Real Madrid got a throw-in on the left.

Suarez retreated to respond to Marcelo's throw-in, and passed consecutive kicks to players such as Hazard, Toni Kroos, Marcelo, Modric and Casemiro, and quickly transferred the ball out of the left. .

But in the middle, Liverpool's defensive players suddenly rushed up and successfully intercepted the ball.

But just when Liverpool wanted to pass the ball across the center line and hand it over to Robertson on the wing, under the interference of Modric, the pass failed to pass.

Carvajal suddenly sprinted forward, competing with Robertson for speed. The two chased towards the ball at the same time. As a result, Real Madrid's right back took the lead and stabbed the ball forward. Not only that, Carvajal continued to sprint forward without losing speed , and sent a direct pass.

After Yang Yang got the ball on the right side, he continued to dribble, dribbling the ball from the right side of the rib straight into the penalty area.

Liverpool's defense was quickly returning to defense. Van Dijk and Lovren retreated the most. Among them, Van Dijk was the first to block Yang Yang's side, and Henderson also actively ran back.

Yang Yang rushed into the penalty area with the ball. His speed was not fast. Van Dijk's running position was very clever, trying to force Yang Yang to the bottom line, so that whether it was Yang Yang's pass or a direct kick to hit the goal, the angle was very small. .

Yang Yang naturally knew what Van Dijk was thinking, so after dribbling into the penalty area with the ball and being forced into a small angle, he was about to be entangled by Van Dijk, but his teammates in the middle and the back point never kept up. Yang Yang made a decisive decision immediately.

Karius stood outside the right column, not only paying attention to Yang Yang who came from his left side, but also paying attention to the situation in the middle and the back, always on guard against the opponent's back penetration.

Obviously, Yang Yang is at a small angle, and it is more likely to cooperate with his teammates.

But at the moment when Karius was waiting for Yang Yang to pass the ball, just when Van Dijk was about to catch up with Yang Yang, Yang Yang, who dribbled the ball into the right rib of the penalty area, suddenly pulled his legs out of the right corner of the small penalty area. shoot.

This sudden shot not only surprised everyone in the stands, but even the Liverpool players in the stadium were taken aback, especially the defensive players who were late.

Shocked, the goalkeeper Karius reacted instinctively, immediately raised his hands high, trying to shoot the ball, but unexpectedly, Yang Yang's shot was fast and hard, and his hands were slow. A little bit, but the fingertips touched the ball slightly, but failed to change the trajectory of the ball.

Karius lost his balance and fell backwards because of the unexpected save, but the ball did not slow down, and the direction remained the same. It passed the top of the goalkeeper's head at an extremely fast speed, and almost touched the crossbar at the top. Along, crashed into Liverpool's goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Hit the door from a small angle!"

"In the 14th minute, Real Madrid made a quick counterattack. Yang Yang scored a small-angle volley from the right rib with his personal ability!"

"What a beautiful shot! What a terrible ability to score!"

"This is Real Madrid's second shot in this game, a volley from Yang Yang from a small angle, directly piercing Liverpool's goal!"

"In just fifteen minutes, Liverpool had the upper hand, only to be scored first by Real Madrid!"
