Chapter 700: Goals are not accidental ([-]st update)
"Simon, it's almost time, let's go!"

Fourth official Kovac pushed open the door of the referee's lounge and saw an interesting scene.

As Maziniak walked forward, he took the card out of his pocket and held it up carefully.

The funny actions made the two assistant referees and VAR referees on the scene laugh.

The referee also needs to warm up and practice playing cards?

"Are you ready, Simon?"

Kovac reassured.

In the first half, the pace of the game between the two sides was very fast, and all kinds of physical confrontations were Premier League level.

In order to ensure the smoothness and fairness of the game, Maziniak enforced the rules carefully and played cards very carefully.

Being tested by players from both sides for the law enforcement standards, Maziniak was under great pressure.

"Enjoy!"

Maziniak looked in the mirror and straightened his clothes.

Being able to officiate a high-level game, as a referee, will also enjoy it.

"set off!"

Players from both sides were already in position, and after a whistle from Maziniak, the second half of the game began.

Manchester City kicked off, and Real Madrid players immediately started to press forward crazily.

Ancelotti admitted that Real Madrid is not as good as Manchester City in terms of physical reserves and must win quickly.

Once it is dragged into overtime, the team will be in danger of collapse due to physical fitness.

Vinicius was responsible for disrupting the opponent's defense with the ball, and handed the final kick to Rossi and Benzema, who have superb shooting skills.

But Manchester City's defense outside the penalty area was very tight. Stones was almost clinging to Rossi, not giving him any chance to get the ball.

Guardiola believes that it is very necessary to defend Rossi alone in the backcourt.

Assisting defense cooperation is a great test of the players' tacit understanding.

Especially in the second half of the second half, as the physical fitness declined and the focus was lost, it was very easy to be attacked by opportunists like Rossi.

If the defense line is adjusted and the substitute players have just come on the field, they will inevitably make mistakes in coordination before they have adapted to the rhythm of the game.

This kind of mistake can be fatal as long as it occurs once.

In the 48th minute, Real Madrid kicked off from the backcourt. Vinicius dribbled the ball from the left, cut inside and passed to the center.

Rossi went straight into the penalty area and took away Stones. Benzema outflanked the shot and was destroyed by the opponent's central defender's sliding tackle.

Three minutes later, Chuameni stole the ball in the midfield and distributed the ball to the left.

Manchester City's defense quickly retreated, but Rossi stood high, forcing Stones to hesitate when returning to defense.

It wasn't until captain Gundogan volunteered to defend Rossi alone that Stones returned to the central defender position.

Just when Manchester City changed defense, Rossi suddenly started to press the penalty area from the ribs.

Manchester City rushed back to defend, leaving no one to defend outside the penalty area.

Vinicius passed the ball across the ball and Modric took a long shot from outside the penalty area.

Gundogan looked horrified and immediately chased back to block the ball.

The shooting angle was interfered with and Modric's shot missed the post.

Jingduo got up with fear and ordered his teammates to defend.

Faced with Rossi's ghostly movement, even the Manchester City captain was unable to guard against it.

Real Madrid's offense in the second half put tremendous pressure on Manchester City.

Manchester City immediately speeded up and adopted a high-pressing approach to counter Real Madrid.

As soon as Silva passed the midfield, he used a wide-range transfer ball to Grealish on the wing.

Real Madrid still concentrates its forces in the middle to restrict Harland.

The gaps on the wing were fully exploited by Manchester City.

Grealish passed the ball back, and Gundogan passed it horizontally into the penalty area.

After the outflanked Haaland stopped the ball with his right foot, he followed up with a low shot with his left foot and was hugged by Courtois.

If the ball was stopped with the left foot and shot with the right foot, I'm afraid the score would have been rewritten.

Young Haaland's possible shortcoming is that his left and right feet are unbalanced.

This is also Real Madrid's defensive strategy.

When you can't guard Haaland, try to let him touch the ball with his left foot to reduce his threat.

From these details, we can see how Real Madrid, as a team with rich heritage and experience, plays key games.

Both sides once again reached full strength in terms of rhythm and intensity.

The competition in the midfield was extremely fierce.

In the 52nd minute, Grealish's spikes scratched Carvajal's upper and was shown a yellow card by the referee.Maziniak's extra practice during the halftime break made his movements particularly smooth and coherent when playing cards.

In the 54th minute, Manchester City kicked the ball continuously in the frontcourt and penetrated quickly.

Harland's pressure made Real Madrid's defense very flat, exposing gaps on the outside.

After De Bruyne advanced with the ball, he took a long shot.

The ball flew to the far corner with an arc, and was picked up by his good brother Courtois.

It wasn't over yet, Courtois took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack by throwing the ball.

Cross sent an overhead ball in the backcourt and hit the back of the defense.

Vinicius resisted the double-team interference from Manchester City and pushed the ball forward with his toes.

Rossi started to move forward, using speed visible to the naked eye, leaving Diaz behind.

The reason why Dias was half a beat slower was to cause offside.

But judging from the situation just now, Rossi paused before starting.

This makes it impossible to determine whether it is in an offside position.

Dias could only raise his hand to signal the linesman, while chasing back, pushing Rossi outwards and narrowing the shooting angle.

Rossi took advantage of his quick start and entered the penalty area first, and then physically confronted Diaz.

After entering the penalty area, Dias's movements must have restrained.

Rossi took the opportunity to push away Diaz, and then shot with his right foot towards the extremely difficult far corner.

Goalkeeper Ederson blocked the near corner. In shock, he straightened his legs and tried to block the shot as much as possible.

The ball was not very fast, but it rolled into the net from the far corner accurately.

The Bernabeu stadium was filled with excitement, with fans waving scarves in joy.

Rossi, who scored, did not celebrate because the linesman raised his flag.

Offside?

This angered the newly ignited Real Madrid.

They used boos and protests to pressure the referee.

Maziniak asked VAR to intervene and came to the screen on the sidelines.

After confirmation, Maziniak ran back to the court, drew the frame with his hands, and then pointed to the center circle to indicate that the goal was valid.

Real Madrid fans continued to cheer.

Manchester City fans shouted loudly.

Real Madrid led 2:0 at home, turning the total score into 3:3.

Manchester City's lead was reversed by Real Madrid in seemingly inadvertent moments.

In fact, this is not surprising.

Although there is a gap between the two teams in terms of paper strength, Real Madrid can still rely on local advantages to score goals.

For both goals, Real Madrid relied on Rossi's super personal ability to score after creating a local advantage in the frontcourt.

This reminds Guardiola of Messi before.

If you replace this position with other players, you may not score a goal.

Rodrigo on the bench suddenly sneezed.

When the Bernabeu sang passionately for the team to tie the score, Manchester City spread the offensive flames to Real Madrid's backcourt step by step.

Manchester City used exquisite cooperation on the right to pull Real Madrid's defense away from the center, revealing the gap in the ribs.

What Guardiola's team is best at is finding the gaps exposed when the opponent changes positions during the pass.

De Bruyne easily took the ball in his ribs and drove it straight into the penalty area.

Silva, who was unmarked in the penalty area, exploded with his right foot after stopping the ball and hit the top corner of the near post.

Faced with such a close-range shot, even Courtois had no time to react and watched the ball hit the net.

2: 1!

The total score is 3:4!

Manchester City's goal was no accident.

Chuameni, who has returned from injury, has not yet reached his peak.

In addition, before Manchester City scored, Chuameni went around putting out fires, resulting in a serious decline in physical fitness and neglecting to mark De Bruyne.

Ancelotti adjusted quickly and immediately called Camavinga to his side.

Real Madrid's bench also has backup.
