Chapter 701 A new striker combination

Just adjusting the position of the lower back is not enough.

Real Madrid is not just a midfielder problem.

During this period, Benzema and Modric frequently made mistakes due to their declining physical fitness.

Real Madrid's midfield possession rate dropped, which directly caused Alaba on the left to be unable to complete the task of moving forward.

Valverde and Ceballos came on as substitutes in the subsequent period.

Real Madrid's midfield has completely changed.

This is a very risky move.

Once the new midfield combination does not adapt to the rhythm of the game, facing Manchester City's midfielder will be like a child facing an adult.

In the 70th minute, Haaland passed back from the right to create a bridge for his teammates.

Gundogan followed up with a heavy artillery shot, hit the post and popped out of the bottom line.

In the 73rd minute, Manchester City captain Gundogan took the ball with his back at the penalty area line. Under Militao's pressure, he freely knocked the ball with his back heel.

Harland received the ball and formed a single shot. His right-foot push was blocked by Courtois's right foot, hit the post and bounced out, and was cleared by Alaba's big foot.

Two pillars, there were many exclamations in the Bernabeu Stadium.

Real Madrid's midfield was completely crushed by Manchester City, and Ancelotti's adjustments had no effect.

In the 75th minute, Real Madrid continued to make substitutions, using up all the two remaining substitutions.

First, Vazquez replaced Carvajal.

Then Rodrigo replaced Benzema.

As the captain on the field, after Benzema left the field, he did not forget to remind Ancelotti who to hand the captain's armband to.

Ancelotti pointed to Rossi without hesitation.

Rodrigo took the captain's armband, ran to Rossi and put it on him personally.

"Hala Madrid" is also played at this moment.

At this time, all Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu stood up and applauded.

[Rossi, as the captain of Real Madrid, will lead the team to complete the remaining 15 minutes of the game. 】

[Four years since joining Real Madrid, Rossi has brought countless honors to the team! 】

[He can always stand up when Real Madrid is in danger! 】

[Use precious goals to lead Real Madrid forward! 】

[This time, when the team needs him again! 】

[I hope he can become a person who leads the team in the future! 】

【team leader! 】

【Been given this sacred mission! 】

The on-site director focused the camera on the former Real Madrid legendary captain, Raul Gonzalez.

Perhaps this is a new legacy for Real Madrid.

The game restarts.

Real Madrid changed to 4-4-2.

Rodrigo serves as the single arrow, and Rossi returns to the midfield to participate in the organization of the midfield.

Reorganizing the midfield, leaving only Vinicius and Rodrygo on the front line, is the key to Real Madrid's comeback.

Prior to this, Manchester City players had successfully restricted Real Madrid from taking the ball with their backs in the frontcourt. This was also the fundamental reason why Real Madrid could not counterattack.

By removing Benzema, whose physical fitness is declining, and using a speedy forward, Real Madrid's offensive strategy has become very obvious.

With Rossi's help, Real Madrid's midfielder began to conduct smoothly.

Valverde, who came on as a substitute in the second half, has enough physical strength to run back and forth.

When Manchester City's defense tilted to the right, the left became Real Madrid's key attacking area.

Although Manchester City is one goal ahead, it is not a sure thing.

Especially when facing an experienced team like Real Madrid, the result cannot be predicted until the last minute of the game.

After Guardiola thought for a moment, he decided to let the team press forward boldly and press Real Madrid's midfield.

Manchester City, which already had a numerical advantage in the midfield, pressed forward, forcing Real Madrid to pass the ball back in their own half.

Once a player cannot withstand the pressure, the result is that the ball is intercepted or passed to the frontcourt.

Rossi had to return to a deeper position to receive the pass, so the threat to the goal was greatly reduced.

In this game, Vinicius found it difficult to break through Kyle Walker's defense without the help of his teammates.

As for Rodrigo, he has to face the defense of Rodri and Dias, and it seems even more difficult to stand alone.

Rossi's deep retreat allowed Manchester City captain Gundogan to boldly press forward to interfere with him.

Even if Rossi gets the ball, he can't turn around smoothly.

Manchester City is using mature and stable defense to push the European king into despair step by step.

Maybe they don't have enough experience in competitions, or maybe they don't have the rich background.

But they are enriching their experience step by step and building their own wealthy background.

The time soon came to the 85th minute. Not only did Real Madrid fail to break through Manchester City's defense, but they were suppressed in the backcourt and unable to move.

Various emotions such as anxiety, nervousness, and uneasiness were mixed together and appeared on the faces of Real Madrid generals.Off the field, Ancelotti has no choice at the moment. He has already made the adjustments he could.

This is not a passive situation only this season.

As early as the first two seasons, Real Madrid's "inaction" in the transfer market has gradually worsened its stubborn problems.

It's just that Ancelotti relied on his own ability to fully tap the potential of the players, and the veterans broke out frequently, and he managed to survive the crisis.

Right now, the physical fitness that Real Madrid is proud of is being exhausted step by step by Manchester City, and its potential has been completely squeezed to the limit.

Regardless of the result, Real Madrid must face restructuring this summer.

I really can't save money anymore.

The camera once again showed the die-hard Real Madrid fans in the stands. In front of them was the Manchester City goal. The ball had not come here for a long time.

Anxiety has made the stands lifeless, and the beautiful young lady has covered her mouth with her hands and prayed silently.

On the field, Real Madrid already seemed a little panicked under the continued pressure from Manchester City.

The moment Courtois got the ball, his teammates were tightly guarded by his opponents, the passing line was cut off, and there was no good connection point.

At this time, Rossi quickly retreated from the center circle and prepared to catch the ball.

When Courtois saw Rossi, he seemed to have seen a savior and hurriedly passed the ball over without paying attention to the situation around him.

Manchester City captain Gundogan moved quickly and appeared in the passing lane.

Although he cannot intercept the pass, he can complete the steal the moment Rossi stops the ball.

At the same time, midfielder Stones quickly came over and formed a front and back attack with Stones.

[This pass is dangerous! 】

[Rossi is surrounded by two Manchester City players! 】

【It’s going to be cut off! 】

The speed of speech increased sharply, and the on-site commentator became nervous when he saw Rossi being double-teamed.

but,

If you want to steal the ball from Rossi's feet,
think too much!

I saw Rossi turning sideways to meet the ball. After standing firm with his left foot, he stopped the ball with the inside of his right foot, turned around, pulled the ball backwards, and passed it back to Valverde behind him.

【Beautiful escape! 】

[The dragon wiggles its tail! 】

[Wow, I have goosebumps all over my body! 】

[Rosie! 】

【You can always find a way out when you are in danger! 】

After completing this freehand heel pass, Rossi did not stop in place.

He quickly turned around and moved forward, breaking out of the encirclement of Gundogan and Stones.

Without any hesitation, Valverde sent a through ball, directly tearing apart Manchester City's midfield defense.

Once the midfield defense becomes critical, the seemingly solid defense of the three central defenders suddenly becomes very fragile.

Just when the defender was hesitating whether to attack or retreat, Rossi passed the ball.

Whether it's Diaz, Kyle Walker, or Akanji.

The speed at which the three of them turned around and chased after them was never as fast as the Brazilian Gemini.

After being corrected by Rossi, Vinicius's timing of forward penetration, coupled with his explosive power and dribbling, became a killer weapon on Real Madrid's left wing.

Rodrigo's running and shooting also improved by leaps and bounds under Rossi's guidance.

Manchester City's defense suddenly collapsed in front of the two men.

[Vinicius accelerates from the wing! 】

【Get rid of it! 】

【Crosspass! 】

[Rodrigo grabs the shot! 】

[The ball has scored! 】

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[Real Madrid equalized the score in the 86th minute! 】

[3:1! 】

[The total score is 4:4! 】

The Bernabeu, which had been silent for a long time, once again burst into deafening cheers.

The die-hard fans behind the goal were so excited that they could only roar and roar as hard as they could.

After the goal, Vinicius and Rodrigo came to Rossi at the same time.

The three of them raised their arms and high-fived.

This scene gave Real Madrid fans a vague glimpse of Real Madrid's future striker combination.

LWL, came out of nowhere.
