Chapter 939 Is This a Loss?
Once, Ferguson commented on Inzaghi, saying that he was a player born on the offside line.
The meaning is to describe the Italian striker's outstanding ability to run off the ball.
In recent years, with the aging of Inzaghi, all media reporters and fans, when evaluating the off-ball movement of active players, often the first thing that comes to mind is Yang Yang.
Many people even believe that Yang Yang's ability to run without the ball is the magic weapon for him to score goals continuously.
And Yang Yang also has a very deep understanding of this, because he knows that for an offensive player, running without the ball is very important, and it can even be said to be the key to determining the success or failure of a team's attack.
Like this opening of the Champions League final.
When the ball was in the hands of Valdez and Yang Yang stepped back, he was facing the Barcelona goal, not only closely watching Valdez's movements with his eyes, but also observing the surrounding people with the vision of God in the super training ground. Every move.
He was the first to judge that Valdes would throw the ball to find Alves, so he rushed towards Alves at the first time.
Yang Yang threw very fast, and Alves retreated relatively deep at that time, so Yang Yang was very sure that Alves had only two options, either kicking forward with big feet, which might lose the ball, or return the pass. Goalkeeper Valdes.
To a certain extent, Yang Yang wanted him to pass back, so he deliberately kept his hand.
The Brazilian right-back really chose to pass back to the goalkeeper, because this is the philosophy of Barcelona football and never surrender the ball easily.
When he saw Alves pass back to the goalkeeper, Yang Yang just rushed to the corner of the penalty area, immediately changed his direction, went back to the penalty area, and approached Valdez, because of such a return pass, Valdez could not use his hands to pick up.
And as long as you stop the ball with your feet, there are bound to be opportunities.
Ibrahimovic was very aware of Yang Yang's thoughts, so he immediately put pressure on Barcelona's two central defenders.
Facing the return pass, there was also Yang Yang who rushed over quickly. He had almost no time to think. His first reaction was to pass the ball out to the player closest to him, who should be considered the safest at the same time, Pique. .
As soon as Pique received the ball, Ibrahimovic entangled him, which gave the Barcelona central defender no extra time to think, plus the Swedish center forced him from behind, forcing him to go to himself. Pass in the forward direction, that is, to the right.
So, Pique passed it back to Alves on the right almost without hesitation, but at this time Alves was still thinking about picking up Valdes, and his position was relatively back. Pique passed in front of him. There was nothing wrong with it originally, but no one could have imagined that Marcelo would suddenly stab out.
...
When Yang Yang forced Valdes to pass the ball to Pique, he ran back quickly.
Because he wants to put himself in a position not to be offside.
It has become his instinct as an offensive player.
No matter how good his position is, no matter how favorable the situation on the pitch, as long as you are offside, everything is in vain, even if you score, you will still be blown away.
Yang Yang retreated to a position further back than Alves, so that he would not be offside. At this time, Marcelo intercepted the ball halfway, and quickly grabbed Alves before Alves got close, and passed back with a kick. restricted area.
With his back facing the attacking direction, Yang Yang was taken aback by the sudden pass. When he reacted, the ball was already in front of him. As soon as it stopped, Alves and Pique were already rushing towards him. Flick left and right.
Yang Yang didn't have time to think about it. He immediately judged that he had no chance to face the goal, so he chose to take a step outside the penalty area, quickly shot the ball, and passed it back to Kaka outside.
Brazil's midfielder stopped the ball, and Busquets appeared in front of him for the first time.
Kaka made a gesture to kick up directly, and after deceiving Busquets to block sideways, Kaka suddenly took a step to the right and passed the ball into the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic blocked Puyol with his body.
The Barcelona captain was blocked by the Swedish center and couldn't resist at all, but he was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. grab the ball.
It's a bit far from the goal, the chance of heading the goal is not big, and Pique has already forced over. If Ibrahimovic wants to stop the ball with his head, there is basically no possibility of creating a threat.
But the Swedish center still suppressed Puyol and did not give the opponent a chance to resist. Facing the incoming ball, he headed the ball and directly pushed the ball to the left of the penalty spot.
Yang Yang ran out of the gap here, Pique ran to flank Ibrahimovic, and Alves was approaching behind him. He just got a chance, but Ibrahimovic's header was ferried. The top is relatively high. His best option is to stop first and then kick up, but in this way, he is likely to be blocked by Pique and Alves.
In front of the fleeting opportunity, Yang Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the whole person ran to the position. After standing with his left foot, he saw the coming of the ball. He turned around, and flew up with his right foot. Sideways volley.
At that moment, Yang Yang could clearly feel the feeling that the back of his right foot was pumping the football in the air. It was very stable, exactly as he expected before, and the football was as fast as he expected. speed towards the top right corner of the goal.
Valdez hurriedly wanted to block the near corner, but missed the far corner, while Yang Yang's turn and volley was deliberately hitting the far corner.
The ball hit Barca's goal almost unhindered.
One to zero!
...
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Only three minutes into the opening, Real Madrid took the lead in breaking Barcelona's goal!"
"A wonderful turnaround volley from Yang Yang!"
"My God, this is Real Madrid's second shot in this game, and Yang Yang hit a fantastic volley."
"This is the superstar! This is Yang Yang!"
"At the critical moment, Yang Yang is able to grasp the opportunities created by his teammates and hit him with one blow!"
...
In order to hit this volley, Yang Yang's whole body fell backwards. After he hit it, he almost fell to the ground, but after standing firm for the first time, he saw the ball entering the net, turned and quickly rushed out of the court, running all the way. .
The whole Wembley Stadium burst into overwhelming cheers and exclamations.
The cheers came from Real Madrid fans, while the exclamations came from Barcelona fans.
No one thought that the goal of this game would come so quickly, so suddenly.
The game has only just begun, and even Barcelona has not even shot a shot, a decent attack has not been organized, and Real Madrid scored directly.
Yang Yang quickly rushed to the bottom of the stand where the Real Madrid fans were, slipped on his knees excitedly, and rushed to the camera on the sidelines.
On the big screen of the stadium, all the TVs around the world watching the live broadcast of the game showed Yang Yang laughing and celebrating the goal, and then he saw his Real Madrid teammates who were rushed out to the ground one by one.
Even Casillas in front of the goal jumped high quickly, patted the crossbar of the goal, and kept shouting.
...
"It was a very, very unexpected goal."
"It is not difficult to see from the slow-motion replay that Yang Yang's movement was very smart, and he did not put himself in an offside position, and the last volley was also very beautiful, and at the same time it was very sudden. The players didn't even have time to react, and Valdes watched the football go into the net."
"That's the power of the superstars at crucial moments, they are able to seize some inconspicuous opportunities and convert them into goals."
"The game has just started, and Barcelona still has a chance, but they fell behind at the beginning. This is obviously very unfavorable, and at the same time, it is very demoralizing. I hope Guardiola and his team can adjust as soon as possible."
…………
…………
Guardiola stood on the sidelines in a daze, his ears filled with cheers, and what he saw were the dumbfounded Barcelona players and the Real Madrid players running wild, but he couldn't react.
Is this a loss?
Before Barcelona even had a chance to attack, Real Madrid broke the goal.
Guardiola knew very well in his heart that this was Real Madrid's attack after the opening game, which caught Barcelona by surprise.
Whether it's Yang Yang's pressing step by step, Ibrahimovic's suppression of the central defender, or Kaka's back insertion, these are all offensive routines that Real Madrid deliberately arranged before the game, all of which are aimed at Barcelona's weaknesses and weaknesses. insufficient.
But the most crucial factor is Yang Yang.
In the situation just now, offside is most likely to occur, but instead of being offside, Yang Yang ran out of opportunities.
This is the gap, and it is also the embodiment of Yang Yang's strength.
"Three back midfielders, the opening attack, the wishful thinking of this dead fat man started." Vilanova said angrily.
Benitez's tactics made Barcelona feel uncomfortable and disgusting, but there was nothing disgraceful. At best, he could only say that he was conservative, and now, Yang Yang's goal has undoubtedly further boosted Real Madrid's confidence.
Can Barcelona break through Real Madrid's three defensive midfielder system?
In fact, Barcelona now have very few chips on hand to change the situation on the field, especially when Real Madrid retreats across the board.
This is why in the past two seasons, in five games, Barcelona did not grab a point and ended with a five-game losing streak. In the final analysis, Barcelona could not find a way to break through Benitez's defensive formation.
Not only Barcelona, but in European football, no team has really broken Real Madrid's defense.
For Benitez's tactical style and Real Madrid's defense, Guardiola is very dissatisfied, or even disagrees, because these are contrary to the football philosophy he accepted since he was a child, but now, he has to Admit that, he really can't come up with an effective way to break the opponent's defense.
So, he can only wait.
Waiting for the flash of inspiration from the Barcelona players on the pitch, and waiting for the Real Madrid players to make mistakes themselves.
This gave the Barcelona coach a sense of weakness.
Especially Yang Yang's goal, it's terrible!
