The strongest winger

Chapter 1112 Sensitive foul location

Aiello's retreat brought new changes to Valencia's overall offense, and Benitez, who was nervously standing on the sidelines directing the game, quickly noticed this change, but he did not give specific tactical instructions, because he believed that Aiello's retreat was to weaken Valencia's offense.

In his cognition, the closer Ai Luo is to the goal is the most dangerous existence.

And the distance from the goal is more than 40 meters, what is the threat?
As long as the team does not foul at key positions in the rest of the first half and does not give Aiello a chance to kick comfortably at a distance of about 30 meters, Benitez can ensure that the team will try to keep the goal until the end of the first half.

If Valencia can enter the locker room with a score of 1:0 in the first half, it will be a huge incentive for the team.

You must know that in such a critical Champions League final, the advantage of leading at halftime is very obvious, and it can bring great confidence to the players, especially the defensive players. They used to face Ai Luo with headaches, and many times they were even helpless. They could only silently watch Ai Luo display his personal skills.

But now everything is different, self-confidence... can completely change a person!
Thinking of this, Benitez turned his attention to the playing field again. Looking at the players who had no problems with their defensive positions, he secretly clenched his fists and said to his players: "Come on! Be sure to end the first half in the lead!"

However, the situation of the game is changing rapidly, and the plan will never keep up with the changes.

When Benitez ignored the threat posed by Aiello's retreat, Ancelotti's eyes lit up, and soon he made temporary adjustments to the team's tactics through the pass of full-back Jordi Alba-Ai Luo appeared in the front midfielder. On the position, Isco gave up the position of the left winger, and James Rodriguez and Modric served as Ai Luo's assistants.

You must know that this tactical change was not planned before the game, which means it is very risky!

Seeing the change in Valencia's formation, Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor was very surprised. He exclaimed: "What? Is Ailai playing the midfielder? This is a position he has never played before. Is this change really suitable?"

Andy Gray nodded in agreement: "Martin is very right. According to the normal development of the game, Ancelotti should not make changes to the team so early, because there is still a long time before the end of the game..."

When the Real Madrid TV commentator realized the changes in Valencia, he sarcastically said: "Oh? Did Ancelotti's brain be caught by the door? Let their combined strongest point play an attacking midfielder? Hahaha... I laughed to death, but this is not bad. Anyway, they dig their own graves, and Real Madrid will win!"

Of course, Ancelotti's adjustment is not a purely positional change, but a cover for the real changes of the team.

Because whether Ai Luo is standing on the left or right, he will attract enough defensive attention from Real Madrid, which means that he will not get too much forward attacking space, but the position of the attacking midfielder is different.

It's just that when Real Madrid really felt the threat posed by the change of position, it was obviously too late.

※※※

No. 307 minutes, Aiello once again retreated to the 40-meter area of ​​​​the attack. Real Madrid's double midfielder combination Xavi Alonso and Khedira did not mark Aiello in real time in order to take into account the stability of the defensive system.

However, Di Maria and Benzema, who are obviously stronger in offense, can only be said to be amateurs in defense. Ai Luo simply handed the ball to James Rodriguez, who was participating in the offense, and then ran forward.

In this regard, Di Maria and Benzema, who have little defensive experience, simply don't know what to do next.

Time waits for no one, James Rodriguez did not stop the ball at his feet, but directly handed the ball to the captain Ai Luo who got rid of the defense, and then continued to run forward to help attract the attention of the defensive players.

Di Maria and Benzema, who did not form any effective defense against Aiello, had to adjust their direction and ran towards the forward Aiello and James Rodriguez respectively to help defend.

Because they have not forgotten the arrangement of head coach Benitez before the game, as long as any player enters the 40-meter defensive area, he must follow up and defend at all costs.

Ai Luo's forward waving speed is very fast. From a distance, it looks like a white lightning flashing at high speed on the green grass.

So the Valencia fans at the scene shouted hoarsely as if they had been on a stimulant, cheering for Ai Luo.

Seeing that he was about to enter the 30-meter offensive area, Khedira, who protected the defensive space, realized that he could not continue to sit still, but took the initiative to take two steps forward to shorten the distance with Ai Luo.

However, at this moment, Ai Luo made a fake action of sinking his right shoulder, and the forward Khedira subconsciously moved half a step to the left. As a result, Ai Luo passed the ball to Isco who crossed over to respond, and then passed between Khedira and Harvey Alonso.

Immediately, Isco didn't stick to the ball, and continued to pass the ball forward, and the target was on Ai Luo's forward route.

As a German international, Khedira immediately realized that the situation was a bit dangerous, so he decisively continued to move to the left, grabbed Aiello's jersey with his left arm, and pulled him to the ground with force.

"--beep!!"

Although Isco's pass was received by central defender Ramos, the Dutch referee Kupels still blew his whistle, because he believed that if Khedira hadn't fouled Aiello, then the latter would have been able to drive straight in with the ball.

Therefore, after the referee had an objective judgment, he also gave the fouler Khedira a yellow card.

At the same time, the Real Madrid commentator also commented on Khedira's foul: "Khedira's foul is really timely. If the reaction is full, then the defense will be very difficult..."

But as soon as the words fell, he realized that the situation was wrong, because he saw from the screen that Ai Luo, who had fallen to the ground, got up without any dissatisfaction, but took the football and placed it at the foul spot.

Soon, he realized that the foul spot was very sensitive.

Then the distance given by the broadcaster made the pro-Real Madrid commentators feel guilty for a while-the straight-line distance from the goal is 31 meters.

The place of the foul happened to be facing the left goal post, which is very suitable for the right-footed player to take the free kick...
