Chapter 267 Lightning goal, a reversal within a reversal!

Although the opponent was equalized at the last minute, Ancelotti did not criticize his players, but instead praised their performance in the first half.

"You did a good job. The score of 2:2 is a result we can accept."

"But, I think your performance deserves a victory!"

After hearing Ancelotti's words, the players who were originally uneasy and thought they might be criticized breathed a sigh of relief and even looked at Ancelotti gratefully.

As for the offensive players, after receiving praise from Ancelotti, they all puffed up their chests and looked proud.

Compared with Mourinho's strong character, An Pang is obviously more popular in the locker room.

This is inseparable from his high emotional intelligence and language arts.

Seeing the players' reactions, An Pang nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"So, continue to attack in the second half and defeat them with the offense that Manchester City people are most proud of!"

This statement has been strongly supported by offensive players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale. These players are good at offense but not good at defense, and they don't like to retreat to their own half to do these dirty work.

Of course, if it's for the sake of victory, it's not necessarily that they can't accept it, but they are definitely reluctant in their hearts.

The reason is very simple. Stars like them who specialize in offense can easily shine and get the limelight on offense, but they can easily be embarrassed when defending.

In addition, if they waste too much energy on defense, they will not be able to get outstanding statistics on offense.

Therefore, Ancelotti's arrangement satisfies their psychological requirements.

For the home team, Pellegrini could not accept the 2:2 result.

If they fail to win at home and concede 2 away goals to their opponents, then their chances of advancing in the next round may be less than 30%.

If the opponent scores another goal in the second half and loses the game at home, then wait to be eliminated!

"We need to continue to strengthen our offense in the second half. The specific tactical arrangements are as follows..."

Based on his observations in the first half, Pellegrini took out his tactical board and arranged the offensive tactics for the second half.

The players nodded to show their understanding.

Then, he explained the defensive strategy for the second half.

"Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are both very strong. If we defend them together, we will definitely not be able to defend them.

But there seems to be no coordination between them. If they continue to fight alone in the second half, as long as they see one of them holding the ball, they can relax their defense of the other person and concentrate on defending the ball holder!"

Pellegrini speculated that there might be a conflict between Real Madrid's two wingers, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why they did not cooperate with each other?

He didn't know if Ancelotti knew this and whether he could solve the problem during the halftime break, but he thought he could test it out.

If there is still no connection between Ronaldo and Bell, then Manchester City's defensive pressure will be greatly reduced!

The 15 minutes of halftime ended quickly, and the two teams returned to the field.

After switching pitches, Manchester City kicked off.

After Lin Quan kicked the ball to Aguero, he immediately rushed forward.

Aguero passed the ball back to Lin Quan with a through ball. Lin Quan easily passed Benzema and continued towards the heart of Real Madrid.

At the same time, Manchester City's players began to rush toward Real Madrid's half at high speed.

With this posture, he clearly wants to start the attack!

"Stop him and don't let him pass the ball!"

Ancelotti was shocked. He had a hunch that Pellegrini would step up his attack in the second half, but he didn't expect the opponent to be so aggressive and attack at the beginning. Isn't this a bit too desperate?

In Pellegrini's eyes, Real Madrid's defense is very strong and it is very difficult to break them, so he designed such a tactic to grab the opening, hoping to catch them off guard before the opponent fully enters the state.

There are risks, but the rewards of success are too tempting.

Isco and Modric were both attracted to Lin Quan and rushed towards him almost immediately.

Lin was surrounded by Real Madrid players. In this situation, the Real Madrid players thought that he was going to pass the ball and it would be impossible for him to single-handedly challenge Real Madrid's entire defense.

So Modric blocked Lin Quan, and Isco cut off his passing line.

But Lin Quan had no intention of passing the ball. When he saw that Isco did not come over to double-team him, he immediately chose to attack Modric.

Modric tried his best to stop him, but failed.

Against a player like Lin Quan who can break out, dribble, and is flexible with his feet, Modric can't do anything against him.

But compared to the previous time, even though Modric was passed, he was not very panicked.

There are a large number of teammates behind him, but he doesn't believe that so many people can't stop Lin Quan?

Real Madrid's players all had the same idea. Although they were surprised that Lin Quan passed Benzema and Modric one after another, they did not think that Lin Quan would hit their defense directly with an iron head.

Because no normal person would do that!

So, while they were keeping an eye on Lin Quan, they were also particularly wary of Aguero, De Bruyne and other Manchester City players who stepped in from behind.

However, not everyone thinks so. Xabi Alonso and Ramos are extremely wary of Lin Quan because they were teammates with Lin Quan and suffered a big loss at his hands in the first half.

Both of them moved towards Lin Quan in unison, and Ramos blocked Lin Quan's path forward.

Xabi Alonso rushed over from the side, trying to entangle Lin Quan and help his teammates steal the ball from his feet.

Seeing the actions of the two men, Lin Quan still did not give up the attack.

He avoided the two of them, continued to dribble towards the right side of the penalty area, and entered the penalty area!

The Real Madrid players originally thought that Lin Quan was definitely going to pass the ball, but the opponent led him all the way and now they are all in the penalty area, but they still have no intention of passing the ball.

This shocked them, and they all had an idea involuntarily:

No? Is this guy really planning to challenge our entire defense?

This idea is so crazy that they can’t believe it!

But when they saw Lin Quan entering their own restricted area, they had to believe that this was actually true!

Now, not only Xavi Alonso and Ramos were facing a formidable enemy, but also other players on Real Madrid's defense began to feel nervous.

If Lin Quan really scored this goal, then all of them, one by one, would be nailed to the pillar of shame and laughed at.

As a result, with the exception of Xabi Alonso and Ramos, almost all the players on Real Madrid's defense were attracted to Lin Quan and moved towards him, and the entire defense began to move to the right.

After Xavi Alonso and Ramos were taken away by Lin Quan, Aguero also successfully entered Real Madrid's penalty area.

This made Real Madrid's other central defender Pepe feel like he was facing a powerful enemy. He hurriedly called Arbeloa and asked him to come over and help defend.

However, just when Arbeloa came over to defend, he felt something flying over his head.

I looked up and saw, oh, it turned out to be a football!

etc!

football?

Abeloa woke up instantly and subconsciously looked towards Lin Quan, only to find that the football under Lin Quan's feet had disappeared!

Abeloa broke out in a cold sweat!

No way, if you just leave the right wing with your front foot, will the opponent launch an attack from the right wing?

According to Murphy's Law, the things you worry about most will usually happen!

At this time, on Real Madrid's right wing and Manchester City's left wing, a short player wearing a blue jersey No. 21 appeared in the open space and received Lin Quan's pass.

David Silva stopped the ball to observe Casillas' position, and before Arbeloa rushed over, he blasted a shot towards the goal!

The ball was hit with great power, and the football flew to the goal in an instant.

Just as Casillas made the save, the ball had already flown into the net.

3:2!

Manchester City launched a lightning offensive and scored in just 14 minutes at the beginning of the second half, reversing Real Madrid and regaining the lead in the game!

Because the goal was scored so fast, many spectators went to the toilet during the intermission. The spectators who had just returned and had not had time to take their seats did not even have time to see the scoring process clearly, and were overwhelmed by the huge cheers from the scene.

Woke up with a start.

"What? We're ahead? Who scored the goal?"

They were upset that they missed such a wonderful goal, and they asked other fans around them to find out who scored the goal.

"It was David Silva. He received Lin Quan's pass and scored!"

"Haha, we are ahead again!"

"Look at the expressions on the faces of those Real Madrid fans, do they look like they've eaten shit?"

Not only the expressions of Real Madrid fans were like this, but the reactions of their coaches and substitutes on the bench were also similar.

Manchester City doesn't follow martial ethics. They attack at the beginning. Most of their players have not yet entered the state. They didn't even touch the ball before they were scored by the opponent!
