Chapter 0156 master tricks
After scoring a goal, Manchester United took the initiative to attack, but at the same time, both De Bruyne who broke through or Carrick and Kante who were dragging behind, firmly held the middle lane.
Both full-backs Luke Shaw and Kyle Walker dare not over-press, at most they are on par with both backs.
In the frontcourt, Rooney restrained Real Madrid's left side, while Valdi attacked Real Madrid's left side with all his might, not only suppressing Modric, but also frequently creating threats on the court. This made the situation on Real Madrid's entire court very embarrassing, and even in a mess.
The frontcourt trident that the Galaxy relies on, Benzema didn't even shoot a single shot, Ronaldo had a long shot, and Bale was invisible throughout the first half.
It can be said that Manchester United's tactics were very successful throughout the first half, making Real Madrid only able to parry and have no room for counterattack. It is difficult to attack through the midfield. On the other hand, Manchester United frequently creates threats.
In addition to a lightning goal at the beginning, Vardy also dribbled the ball inward on the left and transferred his right foot, and passed it diagonally behind him. Rooney quickly inserted behind Casemiro and crossed to the penalty area. De Bruyne inserted and pushed the ball. As a result, Dingding failed to get the right part of the shot this time and missed it slightly.
Then Vardy sent another wonderful pass on the left, and reached the back point. Rooney followed up and shot directly, but still failed.
The most threatening attack in the game occurred in the 28th minute.
Rooney sent a precise cross from the right and landed at the back point.
Vardy quickly inserted, headed the ball in front of the baseline, and returned to the goal. Harry Kane pushed the ball from close range in front of the goal. As a result, Real Madrid's real veteran Pepe blocked the shot like a help from the gods. Then the shot that De Bruyne followed was also destroyed by Ramos, Shui.
When Valdy was still in the 30th minute, he created a long-range opportunity for Carrick. The England midfielder shot hard and hit the crossbar directly, but still failed to score again.
In the 33rd minute, Rooney created another opportunity from the right and sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area. De Bruyne inserted the ball and passed it across to the goal. Harry Kane failed to shoot the shot under the interference of Casemiro, and was kicked out by Pepe in front of the goal line.
……………………
It can be said that in the first half, Manchester United had the advantage, including ball possession rate, and all offensive data Manchester United was ahead of Real Madrid, and the number of shots was far ahead.
But even when everyone thought that Manchester United should be able to score again soon, Real Madrid equalized the score.
In the 40th minute, Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack. Kroos dribbled the ball from the left and was tackled out of bounds by Kyle Walker. After Real Madrid threw the ball out of bounds, they reorganized the attack and sent the ball into the penalty area. When Van Dijk headed the ball to clear the ball, but Ronaldo took the lead and got the ball from the outside of the arc top area of the penalty area. Carrick fouled while defending.
Kroos took the free kick, the ball flew into the penalty area, Real Madrid's Bale rubbed the ball in the penalty area, and Ramos, who was rushing in the small penalty area, scored the ball into Manchester United's goal before the Manchester United defender cleared the ball.
However, this goal is more obvious suspicion of offside.
Manchester United players immediately signaled to German referee Bruchy that this should be considered an offside goal, but Bruchy said that the goal was valid.
Real Madrid equalized the score with a goal that was obviously suspected of offside!
……………………
The home team's locker room was so quiet that only the players' footsteps were left.
It is absolutely unacceptable to be equalized by the opponent when he has the advantage.
But it happened!
Besides saying indignantly, what else can I say besides Real Madrid's luck?
Rooney sat in the locker room, took off her top and shorts, and was sweating all over.
Because the Red Devils adopted the tactic of scrambling, this caused all Manchester United players to consume a lot of physical energy in the first half.
Manchester United coaching staff also formulated strategies specifically for this situation. They put ice in the vest for training, and each player put two or three minutes to ensure they can recover as soon as possible.
Rooney was the first to wear it, so he is sitting now, while the rest of the wear it is walking around the locker room.
Their voices were left in the locker room, and occasionally some movements from the staff.
Rooney believes that what the team needs most now is not mobilization, but affirmation. The team played very well in the first half. As long as they continue to maintain this pressure, there will definitely be a chance in the second half. But the key is to be patient and not rush. Continue to play according to the way they lead in the first half, and sooner or later they will be able to score another goal.
But if you are anxious, Chris (C Ronaldo) is quite fast in dribbling. Carrick's foul just now was a bit helpless, because if Ronaldo really started, it wouldn't be stopped at all.
Whether it is the suppression of the frontcourt or the interception of the midfield, Manchester United has done a pretty good job, and it can even be said that there is no problem, but the luck is a little worse.
"Everyone sits down, we have something more important to deal with."
Ye Su and Giggs walked into the locker room and shouted loudly to the players to sit down.
The locker room suddenly became silent, and everyone looked up at Ye Su.
"The first half was very successful. We completely suppressed Real Madrid. We should continue in the second half, make good use of the space behind the opponent's defensive players and give full play to our advantage of quick counterattack."
The players nodded one after another.
"We were very unlucky in the first half, but that's over. 1:1 is nothing to us. We have the opportunity to score again. You have done a very good job and continue to create opportunities. We will definitely be able to score again."
It is obvious that the Manchester United head coach also believes that the team's various targeted tactical arrangements in the first half have been realized and achieved results, and there is no need to make changes or adjustments. But at the same time, Ye Su also said that he would substitute people in about 15 to 20 minutes of the second half.
……………………
Both teams clearly believe that there is no need to make adjustments in the situation in the first half. Manchester United has the advantage, Real Madrid defends well, and neither side has the intention to make changes easily. No one knows what the situation will develop after taking the initiative to seek change.
The hot weather and different tactical styles forced Manchester United to consume more than Real Madrid. What is obvious is that in the second half, Real Madrid began to try to fight back.
First, Ronaldo formed an offside, and then Ronaldo ran a long distance in the middle, which was damaged by Kanter's accurate and decisive tackle.
When domestic fans saw this scene, they laughed and said that there is indeed no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome, only Kante, who cannot be overcome, and even Ronaldo cannot be overcome.
Manchester United has never found a way to effectively break the Real Madrid goal.
Rooney was closely guarded by Casemiro and Kroos in the frontcourt. Zidane even felt like he was willing to use two players to lock Rooney. In the first half, Manchester United players frequently missed opportunities, which made Real Madrid feel that this tactic of redeem is very cost-effective.
……………………
The situation is changing little by little. Real Madrid players are older on average, but Manchester United's tactical styles consume more, which makes both sides feel like they have reached a certain balance again.
The situation on the court has also become a bit stalemate.
In the 63rd minute, Ye Su finally made a substitution adjustment, and young player Rashford replaced Valdy.
"He finally couldn't help it." Zidane smiled, walked back immediately, looked at the bench, and signaled Danilo to prepare to play.
In the first half, Manchester United let Vardy attack on the left, which made Real Madrid's right-back Carvajal receive a yellow card early, and it's time to replace him. Now Ye Su replaced Valdi with young player Rashford and continued to attack Real Madrid's right. Carvajal is very dangerous, and substitutions are very necessary.
"Their midfield and frontcourt are so outstanding!" Zidane shook his head and sighed.
In Zidane's view, Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt is perfect. Needless to say, the frontcourt can form two top-level teams with three forwards, and the midfield is also extremely powerful.
Kanter and Carrick form a double midfielder, which is simply a barrier in front of Manchester United's defense line. In addition, De Bruyne, Manchester United's entire midfield is impregnable, and even suppressed Real Madrid's midfield tonight.
Ronaldo and Bale did not perform at all, which shows how strong Manchester United's midfield is.
"The main thing is that we were restrained by Rooney," Betoni explained.
Zidane nodded frequently, and Rooney asked Real Madrid to use two players to defend him. It would be strange if the midfielder was not at a disadvantage.
Zidane couldn't help but admire Ye Su, and he dared to hand over the heavy responsibility of defending Ronaldo to Kante alone with confidence. Carrick often took on other tasks, just occasionally making up for the position.
As for him, he would not dare to let the players in Real Madrid defend Rooney alone. If Casemiro only defends Rooney and frees up Kross, Manchester United's midfield advantage would not be so obvious.
But even now, even if the game has been going on for nearly 65 minutes, Zidane still dares not relax his vigilance against Rooney because he is too dangerous!
Players like Rooney and Ronaldo no longer need to prove anything with goals or assists. Their presence on the court itself is the most threatening thing.
Just like Ronaldo, he only had a long shot in the game, but almost all threatening attacks in Real Madrid come from him. As long as he gets the ball and gives him a chance, he can shine.
Why is Manchester United the same?
If Harry Kane, De Bruyne and Carrick have a stronger ability to seize opportunities, Manchester United will lead at least 3:0 in the first half, Rooney and Vardy gave them several wonderful passes and planned several attacks, but they just failed to score.
