Chapter 860 Extreme Race

The world-renowned Champions League final showed the two teams' extreme fast break posture after the start of the game!
Real Madrid, who took the lead in the kick-off, quickly launched a threatening offensive under the pressure of Liverpool's midfield counter-attack after a quick pass from the midfielder.

After Modric responded to Khedira's pass, he sent the ball to the left side of the frontcourt with a long oblique pass under the attack of Eriksson and Mbappe.

C Ronaldo with piercing eyes looked extremely excited today. With Kanter already close to his mark, he jumped high and headed the ball to the middle, and then quickly cut inside and entered the Liverpool penalty area. Benzema, who took the initiative to respond, did not hesitate The header was sent to the left side of the penalty area.

Van Dijk took the lead in blocking the ball before Ronaldo responded!

C Ronaldo immediately turned around to fight back, but Van Dijk had already passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the backcourt.

In everyone's eyes, Arnold lost his defensive position just now!

But after a while, no one thinks so.

Liverpool today relied more on the defense of the midfielder to control Real Madrid's threatening offensive and create better interception opportunities for the central defender.

The defense just now is like this.

Arnold held the ball in the backcourt and pushed forward to organize a counterattack. Just after halftime, Kroos ran to defend him. Arnold directly sent a kick over the top and sent the football straight to the left side of the frontcourt!
Diagonal attack!
Modric quickly returned to the defense, Sane retreated first and passed the ball back to Robertson's feet, who quickly slammed the ball forward to attack.

As soon as Carvajal pulled the side to block, Robertson passed the ball diagonally to the area behind him, and Sane advanced!
After catching the ball, Sane saw Ramos rushing to block him, he dunked and tried to pass Ramos!

Ramos became the team's sinner in the Champions League semi-finals last season. He played dirty with Liverpool, but instead he got pissed off and was sent off with a red card.

Against Liverpool today, he at least learned how to behave, or maybe he thinks that he can completely defend Sane and Mbappe with real skills, and it is not worth taking risks and making small moves.

When Sane tried to pass him, he predicted it accurately!

In other words, Sane's extraordinary action was a bit too obvious, Ramos took advantage of the opportunity to block in front of Sane, Sane lost the ball at the same time, and Ramos successfully intercepted the ball!

But when Ramos saw Mbappe rushing towards him the next moment, he decisively kicked the ball to the front right.

Because Robertson's assist went up the field, there seemed to be a lot of space in the backcourt defense that could be exploited.

As soon as Isco stopped the ball on the right side of the front court, he was pressed by Casemiro. behind!

That is, on the right outside the Liverpool penalty area.

Benzema took the initiative to run to respond, and Coulibaly followed up to press. Benzema quickly knocked the ball at his feet and turned to break through to the bottom line. Although he did not completely get rid of Coulibaly, he created a cross.

The football flew straight to the middle of the penalty area.

Van Dijk had already jumped to clear the ball with a header, but he was hit by Ronaldo in the air, lost his balance and fell to the ground!
C Ronaldo also failed to touch the football, and at the same time the referee's whistle sounded, C Ronaldo took the initiative to reach out and pull Van Dijk up.

Van Dijk is still deeply afraid of Ronaldo's terrifying jumping ability and ability to stay in the air.

It is precisely because C Ronaldo's header ability is almost at the peak level of European football that Van Dijk cannot simply take precautions against the card position, and he may lose his position due to a misjudgment!

The simplest reason is that when the football is falling, the position of the header is absolutely different when the player jumps 80 centimeters from the ground and 130 centimeters from the ground!
Van Dijk can only try his best to fight for every high-altitude ball. He must take off to seize the opportunity to head the ball to avoid being caught by Ronaldo.

Liverpool launched an attack from the backcourt, flying fast, and Arnold quickly advanced from the right. After halftime, he cooperated with Eriksson to hit the wall and quickly penetrated Kroos' defense zone, and then continued. Pushing the offensive forward, Marcelo was attacked by Liverpool before he had time to get to the frontcourt to participate in the attack after the start!

When Mbappe first started the inside cut, Marcelo recovered the penalty area, especially after Arnold passed the ball to Mbappe, he recovered more resolutely, but Mbappe kicked the ball on the way , The football passed to the bottom line on the right again.

After Arnold went all the way to the bottom to respond, he looked at the situation in the middle of the road, and sent a half-high pass!

The football bypassed Marcelo's back, and Mbappe also exploded with a strong acceleration in the forward drive. Pepe quickly returned to the blockade line, but Mbappe directly hit a shot without stopping the ball!
The football flew towards the near corner of Real Madrid's goal, "the wall" Navas steadily blocked the near corner of the goal, and blocked the ball out of the penalty area while flying!

"Mbappe does not stop the ball in the penalty area and shoots directly!

Navas saves the ball!
This Champions League final really played at a suffocating speed!

Real Madrid and Liverpool come and go to make the correct way to handle the ball in the shortest time, and create threats on this basis!
This is too much a test of the team's ability!
Especially in such a big scene of the Champions League final! "

When the football flew outside the penalty area and was controlled by Khedira, Eriksson's counter pressure forced Khedira to quickly pass the ball to Cross' feet, but Cross found that Henderson had already pressed him close!

Kroos dribbles back to try to distance himself from Henderson, finds his chance and passes the ball to Modric!

Modric only paid attention to Casemiro's position in front, but ignored Robertson's counterattack from the rear!

Robertson pops the ball out into the middle of the field before he can stop it.

Zidane showed nervousness on the sidelines!

Liverpool's strongest style of play is to play defensive back!
After a wave of defense in Real Madrid, they encountered Liverpool's threatening offensive in a short period of time. This kind of impact is something that many strong teams cannot resist!

Khedira and Cross immediately killed Robertson, and even planned to make a tactical foul!

But Robertson calmly passed the ball diagonally to the right of the penalty area!

In terms of pass connection, the two wing positions on Liverpool's side, Robertson and Arnold, both try to find teammates on the diagonal as much as possible, so that the opponent's inertial defense that closes around the block can fail!
Mbappe just succeeded in responding to the right side of the penalty area, and Pepe stuck up from behind. Mbappe calmly knocked the ball back diagonally to Henderson, who was catching the vacancy, and the latter stopped the ball and adjusted a step. Without giving Cross a chance to press close, he hoisted the ball to the right of the middle of the penalty area!
When Ramos judged the football landing point, he immediately moved there quickly, but Sane in front of him quickly made a diagonal run from the left side of the penalty area!
It was too late for Pepe to turn around and catch up, the football had already flown past his parallel line!

Sane also shot directly against the falling football!
The football flew into the far corner of the Real Madrid goal!
But Navas was so good, he abandoned the goal early and narrowed Sane's shooting angle, allowing him to jump directly on the spot to save and touch the football!
The football was blocked by him again!
The Meazza Stadium echoed the exclamation of the fans of the two teams!
The Red Army fans were full of regret and regret, but the Real Madrid fans were still in shock!
"Another great save from Keylor Navas!

Liverpool's offensive has played very well and imaginatively!

If I read correctly, Liverpool's formation in the game today is 262!

It can become 253 when attacking and 442 when defending!

The key here is the positions and roles of Robertson and Arnold!
In the first wave of offense, Arnold's role was almost the same as that of a winger!

In defense, Arnold also played the role of a full-back, and did not immediately retreat to the wing back!
When Gareth Bell and Lewandowski were unable to play, and people were worried that Arnold might be blown up by Ronaldo, Situ Yunbing transformed the team's skills and tactics!
If we look at it more carefully, this threatening attack, Mbappe from the completion of the shot to the retreat response, and Henderson's insertion, Sane's diagonal running position to catch Mbappe to contain the space created by Pepe , Liverpool's two forwards have a lot of freedom and a wide range of activities. The seemingly disorderly and irregular offensive cooperation just happened to be the effect of mercury pouring into the ground!
The basis for this effect is the changes in the positions of Arnold and Robertson. They provide the defensive strength of the midfield and the extreme use of the width of the field in the offense to tear apart the Real Madrid defense, and they can cooperate with teammates in partial attacks to form Advantage!
We don't know how much homework Real Madrid did before the game, and how much Zidane's tactical preparations studied the opponent Liverpool.

But I think Situ Yunbing's formation today and the threat he has shown are enough to surprise Real Madrid!
Somewhat unprepared, especially when defending in the midfield, Khedira's position is very awkward. Once Kroos or Modric help defend the wing, Liverpool will then switch to the center, and Khedira will have Sa on both sides behind him. Nei and Mbappe attack at any time, but his front cannot predict whether to mark Eriksson or Henderson!
Liverpool has played the role of every player on the field to the extreme, and the current confrontation situation has reached a state of extreme balance.

Finally, I still want to praise Navas' performance. This Costa Rican goalkeeper is really great!
He is the low-key goalkeeper of Real Madrid! "

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool and Real Madrid played an extremely competitive rhythm. In terms of competition details and team skills and tactics, it seems that Liverpool has begun to lead!
