Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 442 The Wrath of Real Madrid Stars

From the first minute of the game, Braniff faced an extremely strong defense, which also made it difficult for him to receive the pass, and even if he received the pass, it was difficult to pass it out.

This makes it difficult to cooperate with teammates.

As a core midfielder, being marked by the opponent, it is difficult to connect the ball and pass the ball. This is not only a personal problem, but also affects the performance of the whole team.

Millwall has two cores, one is Braniff and the other is Josh Simpson, but if one core is prevented from death, the actions that the other core can perform are greatly discounted.

Josh Simpson is not the kind of player who can dominate the entire field. His style is more offensive. He is even a forward type player who wants to rely on his ability to organize offense to drive the offense of the entire Millwall. , is almost impossible.

In this regard, Simpson is the worst among Millwall's central midfielders. He is not as good as Smicer, Morris, or Braniff. Even Sean Davis, Veteran Harman can't even compare, and because Braniff is restricted to death, Simpson's core performance is a bit weak, and Millwall has been suppressed by Real Madrid.

If the two sides play against each other normally, it doesn't matter if Millwall is suppressed. The opponent is Real Madrid after all, but everyone knows that Capello's Real Madrid pays more attention to defense.

Just look at the way Real Madrid attack.

Real Madrid suppressed Millwall, with a clear advantage in the midfield competition, and they also played two wings, but in the constant attack, the two full-backs, Salgado and Carlos, barely ran. After halftime, Emerson, as a defensive midfielder, had very few assists.

Under such circumstances, Millwall still played very passively.

Real Madrid have a higher possession rate, more attacks and, of course, more chances in front of goal.

Braniff knows that this has a lot to do with his own performance. If he can perform well and form a "dual-core" cooperation with Simpson, the team's situation will be greatly improved.

But the defensive pressure he faced was indeed great.

How to do it?

Braniff thought of what Zhang Yang said to him before the game, "You have to play more freely and play at your own pace." At that time, the coach also added, "During the game, let everyone see you. Kung fu!"

Braniff didn't quite understand what that meant.

Of course, the meaning of Zhang Yang is obvious, that is to let Braniff seek personal dribbling breakthroughs and work hard to perform personally, but playing like that will not be the same as the previous game. Facing Real Madrid's solid defense, his number of goals conceded There will be many.

Braniff hesitated.

When he got the ball again, Braniff found that there were people blocking the route. He couldn't pass the ball even if he wanted to, and he didn't "passively" seek breakthroughs anymore.

----

Seventeen minutes into the game, Braniff has conceded three times.

The first time was at the beginning of the game, when Braniff had just received a pass and was intercepted by Emerson with a clean kick.

The second time was in the 6th minute when Braniff faced back and forth blocks from Emerson and Cannavaro. Under such a strong blockade, Braniff had no chance and was killed by the two together. .

The third time was No. 11 minutes. Braniff passed the ball to the side. The ball was just kicked out when it was suddenly intercepted by Raul.

Conceding the ball three times in 7 minutes is tantamount to making consecutive mistakes, not including Braniff's pass and not being caught by his teammates. Under the continuous mistakes, you can imagine how the media commentators think of him You know, when Braniff got the ball again and Emerson was still nearby, the Spanish commentator shouted, "It seems that Real Madrid will have another chance!"

That means, "Let's see how Braniff concedes the ball!"

Braniff decided to follow the coach's advice and start dribbling the ball by himself. Anyway, he was so closely guarded that it would be difficult to find cooperation with his teammates, so he might as well try it himself.

Braniff's heart was also burning.

Showing footwork at the Bernabéu is something that many professional players dream of pursuing, but most players can't do it. Even if they have the opportunity to come to the Bernabéu to play against Real Madrid, the technical ability of their feet is not in place. Facing Real Madrid players to show footwork.

Now Braniff is about to do just that.

The coach's nod of approval is a rare opportunity. Even if he makes consecutive mistakes, the coach will not blame him.

That trust is what matters.

The first thing Braniff has to face is Emerson who is stalking. In the past ten minutes, he has a certain understanding of Emerson. This guy is very experienced. It's hard to do anything more.

So Emerson must not be entangled.

When Braniff was thinking, the movement of his feet was very coherent. He moved the ball forward and started to accelerate suddenly. His movements included swinging his feet, which made Emerson think for a while that he was going to pass the ball to The teammate also made a subconscious interception action. When he realized that Braniff was going to break through, it was too late to change his action. Emerson was annoyed and could only run after Braniff's ass.

It's not that it's been passed over.

A few times before, Braniff also dropped Emerson like this, but Real Madrid's defense is not just a Ramerson. Braniff took the ball and rushed a few steps, and a bald player rushed up——
Cannavaro!

Emerson was chasing behind, and Cannavaro was intercepting in front. Braniff faced such a dilemma again. Unlike before, he did not consider passing to his teammates, but focused on facing the front and back. Double-teaming, trying to fight a way out by relying on his own ability.

Cannavaro and Emerson didn't know what Braniff was thinking. They were double-teaming and paid great attention to the positions of other Millwall players. Seeing that there was space on the left, Emerson immediately took a step forward. Give Braniff a chance to pass the ball.

In this way, it will be a 'mortal' situation!
Both Cannavaro and Emerson thought so. They just waited for the moment when the two of them attacked back and forth. Braniff also knew the dilemma he was going to face. During the process of dribbling, he stared at his eyes. Cannavaro.

The only way to get rid of the predicament is to break through Cannavaro.

How to break through?
While Braniff was dribbling the ball, while staring at Cannavaro, his mind was running fast. Just when the two were close to one meter away, Braniff's eyes suddenly lit up, and as he stepped forward with his right foot , The action of stepping on the ground turned into a forward swing, the right toe poked the ball, the ball accelerated suddenly, and passed between Cannavaro's feet.

Braniff then dashed to the right!
Cannavaro is furious!
The moment the football passed through, Cannavaro had already realized that if the kid in front of him used the crotch to pass himself by, it would really ruin his reputation and become the laughing stock of the whole team, Europe and the world.

Cannavaro did not hesitate, and immediately squeezed Braniff with his body, because it was only a side collision, as if he was running and had no way to collide. The referee could not determine whether it was blocking, but it was enough to delay Braniff sprint speed.

Braniff was affected and did not rush over immediately, and the football rolled towards the goal.

Goalkeeper Iker Casillas holds the ball with his hands.

Real Madrid lifted the crisis.

----

Most people don't think there is any crisis in Real Madrid just now, because Cannavaro and Emerson defend Braniff together, they don't think there will be unexpected situations.

The Spanish commentator commented ironically with a smile, "Braniff made a shot! Maybe he still felt that he shot through Cannavaro's feet, and the kick was very delicate and flexible. Unfortunately, his strength is a bit weak. , completely failed to threaten the goal guarded by Cassie."

This statement probably made Cannavaro feel bad, because he was indeed pierced by Braniff.

If it hadn't been for successfully stopping Braniff just now, the opponent might pass him through the crotch and face the gate held by Casillas. No matter whether he can score in the end, Cannavaro feels that his face will be seriously damaged. After the game Familiar teammates will make fun of him, and according to media reports, he will also become a 'foil' for Braniff's goals.

This is unacceptable to Cannavaro.

As a player who can be regarded as "successful and famous", Cannavaro won a series of personal honors such as the World Footballer and the Golden Globe, and became the first player in history to win the double football player as a defender. What else does he have? The pursuit of personal honor?
Under such circumstances, face becomes very important!

Braniff almost lost face. Cannavaro's eyes were no longer friendly. He thought he would let this guy know that he must treat his seniors with due respect.

Braniff's failed breakthrough is actually nothing at all. Apart from an additional failure in his personal performance, it has no other impact.

But soon the second time came again.

Braniff was strictly restricted, increasing the number of retreats to get the ball. He was originally a midfielder, and he retreated to the center line. No matter how targeted Real Madrid's defense is, there is no way.

This time Braniff easily got rid of Raul and Diarra's interception.

When the football was about to be handed over to Braniff, Raul and Diarra started to intercept at the same time. They double-teamed from behind and left together, but Braniff did not stop the ball, and started it instantly with one foot forward. Sprinting, Raul and Diarra rushed to nothing.

Afterwards, Braniff sprinted for more than ten meters with the ball before meeting Emerson who came to block him.

Emerson again!
Braniff frowned slightly, staring carefully at Emerson's movements as he quickly approached, and at the same time, his two feet kept moving on the ball. In the dazzling movement, he kicked forward suddenly, and then walked away from the ball. Overtaking is about to be forced on the right.

The football passed between Emerson's feet!

Emerson was taken aback. He was affected by Braniff's flashy movements, so he didn't make a timely judgment. It was too late when he made another move, so he could only forcefully turn around and run after Braniff.

Fortunately, Ramosson behind him reacted in time, met a big foot and kicked the ball out of bounds.

Braniff failed to catch the ball.

But the crotch piercing action just now was enough to anger Emerson, and now Emerson looks at him with deep anger.

Braniff is not the one who suffers. After feeling unfriendly, he immediately stared back, and the expression in his eyes was, "How are you? Dissatisfied? I will treat you like this next time!"

Emerson was instantly annoyed.

Since becoming famous in Leverkusen, few opponents have dared to provoke him like this. Emerson felt that he had to teach the opponent a lesson.
