Chapter four hundred and ninth smashing the past ball
After conceding the ball, Benitez also stood up from his seat, and he was dissatisfied with the players' performance in the game.
He felt that the players should not go to the referee to argue with the foul just now.
All the bets went, but the free kick was almost sent...
Of course, Benitez doesn't care about yelling and scolding his players on the sidelines. He should now consider a very practical issue, that is, how to equalize the score or even overtake the game when he is behind...
After taking the lead, Real Madrid will definitely fight defensively more resolutely, their recovery will be more ruthless, and their counterattack will be more sharp.
At that time, facing Real Madrid, which has set up an iron barrel formation, will Manchester City have a way to break the deadlock?
As expected in the next game, Real Madrid, who scored a goal, began to recover, but they still retained the trident counterattack combination of Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria, Benzema.
These three people are fast and have outstanding personal abilities. Moreover, their counterattack is not the kind of person who dribbles the ball to the age of time. They can pass back and forth, run, and finally complete a fatal blow. The football and people do not stop at all during the whole process, and everything is done in high-speed sports.
This is the terrifying thing about Mu's counterattack.
Football itself needs to be moved. Once it moves, it will be difficult for the opponent to prevent it, but at the same time, the requirements for the players on the side are also high.
After leading, Real Madrid did not intend to score another goal while they were in a blazing momentum. Instead, they contracted their defense, which made people feel that Mourinho was terrible. He was able to quickly cool down from the ecstasy of the goal and return to calm.
He knew very well that after Manchester City conceding the ball at home, they would definitely want to tie the score quickly, so he gave up possession and space to let them attack, and what about him? He asked Real Madrid to shrink, seize the opportunity for Manchester City to attack heavily and then counterattack, and at that time he was afraid that one shot would be accurate.
In fact, it is the same. Manchester City seemed a little impatient after conceding the ball, while Real Madrid was playing a defensive counterattack with peace of mind. Cristiano Ronaldo had another chance, but this time his shot in the counterattack was saved by Joe Hart, otherwise he might have conceded two goals in five minutes.
"Manchester City's situation is very dangerous now. Their ideas are a bit inconsistent. They have not figured out whether it is offense or defense. This has given Real Madrid an opportunity to take advantage of..." Alan Hansen said with a frown.
"Now it seems that the defensive counterattack is the most restraining of Manchester City?"
"That's also a defensive counterattack that scores first. Real Madrid's ball has a certain amount of luck. If the score is still 0:0 now, it may not be like this. The balance of the game has been broken, but in this way, the game will probably be better in the first half."
※※※
Cristiano Ronaldo has been more active after scoring the goal, and he can be seen galloping like the wind almost every time Real Madrid attacks.
His speed is beyond the reach of Manchester City's defensive players.
In addition to him, Di Maria, who is good at dribbling, his delicate footwork skills often make Manchester City players miserable.
Real Madrid's staffing configuration is no worse than Manchester City.
Manchester City did show impetuousness after conceding the ball, and lost patience when attacking. They often drove forward with a big foot, regardless of whether their teammates could receive it.
In this way, Real Madrid will only have more opportunities to counterattack, and quantitative changes will sooner or later cause qualitative changes, and goals will come.
Everyone knows that there will be problems when playing like this, but now no one can do it.
Ten minutes after Manchester City conceded the ball in the 63rd minute, Sneider took the ball in the midfield and was defended by Khedira. It was difficult for him to organize any decent attacks, so he simply passed the ball with a long shot and passed the ball to the frontcourt.
"It's coming again..." Alan Hansen's tone was helpless.
Sneider wanted to pass the football to Ibrahimovic.
Ibrahimovic was indeed in that direction, and he was also trying hard to chase football and then jumped up to compete for the top.
But he didn't hit football.
Although Ibrahimovic had worked very hard, he jumped up and headed down while rushing forward.
Maybe he can hit the ball with one more step, but only if there is no one around him.
And now there is a Pepe next to him.
Pepe also jumped up and pushed the football that Ibrahimovic had not reached diagonally.
He headed towards the left back Marcelo on the wing.
When he was heading the ball, Pepe first observed the situation. If the football was heading back directly, it would be more difficult, because he jumped up to hit the ball when he was retreating back with Ibrahimovic. This is similar to a header back, which requires a high level of strength on the waist and abdomen. If the football was not well, it might push the football to a blank area. The Glory ghost knew whether he would appear there like a ghost.
So Pepe chose a way he thought was safer, which was to push the football to his teammates closest to him.
For example, Marcelo is very close to him, and the two of them gathered for less than ten meters, so it is not difficult to resist.
Next, Marcelo can stop the football with his chest or push out the sideline to clear the ball, but it is safe.
But at this moment, when Pepe, who had just finished heading, saw a creepy scene that made him feel at the bottom of his head, he saw Kaka, who was originally on the outside of Marcelo, suddenly appeared on the inside of Marcelo, and then jumped up with a quick step!
It was originally Pepe's football headed towards Marcelo, so Kaka just let the head go before Marcelo!
"Kaka!"
John Mortson shouted.
A burst of exclamations also sounded at Manchester City Stadium.
Amid the exclamation, Kaka landed, then started to accelerate, chasing the football that was pushed to the penalty area by him!
At this moment, people seemed to see Kaka who was five years younger and running like the wind.
Even Real Madrid fans lit up their eyes. This is the Kaka they once coveted!
But unfortunately, after coming to Real Madrid, they never saw Kaka like this before.
Now, they have the honor to meet, but Kaka is no longer a player in his goal.
※※※
Casillas had originally planned to attack, but as soon as he ran to the small penalty area line, he found that Kaka's speed exceeded his expectations, so he rushed out like this, and he was not sure whether he could receive the ball earlier than Kaka.
So he chose to stay in the small penalty area line.
At the same time, Kaka also followed the football into the penalty area.
The football jumped in front of him, not very well controlled.
Kaka chased the football toward the bottom line.
Casillas felt more relieved when he saw this scene. Now he just needs to seal the corner.
※※※
"Kaka! He's so fast! He's caught up with football!" John Motterson shouted excitedly.
This is Manchester City's best offensive opportunity in the second half, and if so, it is also the most promising opportunity for Manchester City to equalize the score.
Manchester City fans in the stands also cheered Kaka loudly.
The players of Real Madrid were quickly returning to defense, some ran to the goal to defend Ibrahimovic, while others chased Kaka.
Kaka rushed into the penalty area, and the football was still jumping in front of him.
This kind of scene happened when Real Madrid, with football in front of him and he was chasing him desperately, but no matter how hard he ran, the football in front of him was getting farther and farther away from him...
His feet were like heavy lead stuffed, and he couldn't lift them up at all.
From when can he be able to repeat this incompetent pursuit over and over again?
From when did he no longer be the cheerful Kaka?
From when did his name become a symbol of people's ridicule and helpless sigh?
From now on, I can't run with all my might on the court and catch up with football?
Kaka gritted his teeth and stepped forward. The football was still in front, but there seemed to be many mirrors in front of the football. The mirror reflected his dejected figure, his appearance of sitting on the bench of Real Madrid wrapped in a coat, his helplessness in spreading his hands after being cut off on the court, and the newspaper reports that "Kaka is a paralyzer"... In addition, his ears were buzzing, and countless sounds were heard.
"Kaka was injured in the South African World Cup and missed the pre-season preparations, Mourinho was furious..."
"The groin injury is fatal for a player like Kaka who relies on speed. I know there are still people looking forward to Kaka returning to the top. But I must tell you, unfortunately, your idol will never be able to return to his appearance when he was in AC Milan..."
"Kaka is already ruined. Real Madrid must now regret that he spent 65 million euros to buy such a waste and come back..."
"...It is said that Real Madrid intends to give up Kaka, but Kaka's annual salary is too high and no club is willing to take over..."
"Kaka's days in Real Madrid may have entered the countdown. If he cannot find a club to accept him in Europe, it is not ruled out that he will return to Brazil. This is definitely not good news for Kaka, who is under thirty years old..."
※※※
The football landed and bounced up, and Casillas moved to the near post, blocking Kaka's possible shooting angle.
Kaka took a step while running, then swung his right leg. He did not stop the ball and chose to shoot directly!
With a bang, he pulled the football towards the goal.
Casillas made a save, but the football flew over from above him.
He turned around and wanted to follow the trajectory of the football, but the ball speed was too fast. He only saw the scene of the net rushing up at the top of the football goal.
The ball entered...
Kaka seemed to see that the mirrors blocking him were shattered by his kick, and as the mirrors were broken, all kinds of sounds lingering in his ears disappeared. He returned to Manchester City Stadium, with only the tsunami cheers of Manchester City fans in his ears!
