Chapter 1084
In the stands of the Meazza Stadium, Real Madrid fans were shouting wildly, but in the commentary seats at the top of the stands, everyone except the Spanish commentator fell into embarrassment and silence.

In the second half, Real Madrid's mad attack basically did not create much threat except for Ronaldo's shot from the center post. On the contrary, Manchester United counterattacked vigorously.

But the situation changed. First, Salah got injured and Marcelo went forward to assist.

In fact, although the process of this goal is weird, it is not uncommon for a long-range shot to hit the defensive player's sideline and let teammates miss the goal.

The key issue is that it was Pogba who shot from a long distance, and Vazquez who scored a goal. They were all players who had just been replaced by Zidane.

The so-called Qi Xuanzong nickname is only circulated on the Internet in China, but there are similar nicknames in European football... Zidane's choice of substitutions is often incomprehensible, but it often achieves very good results in a weird way.

In good conscience, it is not a good choice for Vazquez to replace Benzema. Although Kroos is not in good condition, Pogba who replaced him...none of his four shots hit the goal.

But Pogba sent a weird indirect assist, and Vazquez scored a key goal for Real Madrid.

Sun Wu stuck his waist in his mind to replay the lost goal just now. Except for Fletcher's failure to make a decisive foul, there were no obvious loopholes in Manchester United's defense, and Pavard also noticed Vazquez who was inward.

But who would have imagined that the ball, which was outrageously deflected to the right, suddenly appeared on the left side of the penalty area, and just in front of Vazquez. The Spanish player volleyed vigorously without thinking, and Pavar had no chance to intercept it.

After pondering for a few seconds, Sun Wu made a gesture for a substitution on the sidelines.

"Manchester United has finally made a substitution." Mortensen cheered up, "Oh, it's not Fabinho, it's Herrera!"

"The right choice." Mourinho has a different opinion, "Now that Real Madrid's morale is boosted, it is not enough to rely on defense alone. A certain amount of pressure must be given to Real Madrid's defense. Herrera is capable of sending penetrating direct passes. And he's tough defensively."

Magic Bird saw it very accurately. Sun Wu deliberately retreated to interfere with Modric and Pogba. Harry Kane also retreated deeply, but Herrera's position was slightly premised.

When Real Madrid's morale was boosted and they attacked with all their strength, Sun Wu accurately saw the key point through the "God's perspective".

Modric and Pogba appear more near the penalty area, cruising on both sides of the ribs, they can pass, they can cut in and shoot, and they can also send direct passes. They all hope to send threatening passes or even shots. The player who controls the team organization and rhythm is Casemiro.

It is said that Casemiro is a first-class defensive midfielder in Europe, but this Brazilian has good organization and control skills, but he is usually overshadowed by the light of Kroos and Modric.

At this critical moment, Casemiro bears the heavy responsibility of connecting the midfield and backcourt. As a transfer station, he needs to send the ball to the weak defensive position of Manchester United. He needs to accurately judge the running position to meet the frontcourt players, and he needs to retreat in time. Pull wide to guard against Manchester United's counterattack... Herrera's jellyfish-like interference soon saw the effect.

In the 75th minute, Casemiro received the pass and tried to send it to the right, but Harry Kane jumped up and tried to intercept it. Casemiro dunked the ball. At this moment, Herrera rushed forward He poked the ball with hands and feet, and sent it to the left with a toe before falling to the ground.

"Herrera steals the ball... oh mane!"

"No foul, no foul! This is Manchester United's chance!"

Zhan Jun roared hoarsely: "Good chance, 2 vs 3... No, 2 vs 2!"

Herrera and Casemiro entangled on the ground, Mane took the ball and broke through at high speed, only Ramos was in front of him, and Pepe was held back by his old rival Harry Kane.

But Ramos has learned his lesson now, he didn't care about the ball at all, and directly grabbed Mane's jersey and put it down.

"Di!"

The referee couldn't stand it anymore, whistled for a foul and gave Ramos a yellow card.

"Tactical foul... Ramos got Real Madrid's fourth yellow card in this game, and also the seventh yellow card for both sides." Zhan Jun hummed unhappily, "In general, the atmosphere of this game is quite harmonious... ..."

"It's the 75th minute, and there are less than 20 minutes left, 7 yellow cards and no red cards." Zhang Lu said with a smile: "In such a heavyweight match, it is indeed harmonious."

Sun Wu's substitutions and on-the-spot adjustments were effective. Herrera's mobility and candy-like defensive style played a role, and he has the ability to find a gap to send a threatening ball.

It would be hard to say if Fabinho was replaced. Brazil's defensive midfielder has strong confrontation ability, excellent position selection, and strong frontal defense ability, but its mobility is a little weak.

Two minutes later, Herrera intercepted the ball again in the middle circle, but this time the referee called the Spanish midfielder for a foul, and he pushed Casemiro down.

Soon, Real Madrid made on-the-spot adjustments. Pogba and Modric took turns to retreat to receive the ball. There was an extra contact point, and Herrera's pressing would not be very effective.

Sun Wu immediately commanded Herrera to move back, and the two of them and Kanter formed a solid firewall.

The three human responsibilities are clear, Herrera is in charge of the right midfielder, Sun Wu is in charge of the left midfielder, and Kanter is in the middle. Manchester United adopts a zone defense. Even if Real Madrid players change positions, it will not disturb Manchester United's defensive system.

Modric retreated to catch the ball patiently, and now he was only one goal away. The Croatian knew that Manchester United's defense was excellent but not impeccable, but Real Madrid's offense was too hasty in the second half and often ended in long-range shots.

Sending a 30-meter cross pass to Carvajal, Modric turned and waved to Marcelo behind him to move forward.

Marcelo raised his chin towards Manenunu, indicating that the Senegalese was very fast.

Modric simply ran over, "Don't be afraid, you go forward, I'm behind you."

Seeing that Marcelo hadn't reacted yet, Modric said bluntly, "We don't have any yellow cards."

Manchester United soon discovered that Marcelo, who was scared by Mane and did not dare to go forward, made a comeback, and he was even more ruthless than before. He even used a wonderful surprise to enter the penalty area and sent a cross pass that was thrilling to De Gea. blocked with his feet.

Sun Wu turned his head and glanced at Modric, who was standing behind. The Croatian's on-the-spot adjustment was not much weaker than his own.

With Sun Wu, Herrera, Kanter and even Harry Kane all gathered in the middle, it is difficult for Real Madrid to open the gap from the middle, and these three people have no cards, it is difficult for Real Madrid players to get good long-range chances.

Modric chose to strengthen the side attack, and it was on the left. Vazquez's breakthrough ability was slightly weaker, but after Marcelo advanced, Ronaldo immediately pulled out from the penalty area. The two can form a cooperation.

Alderweireld had to press out to help defend, and Herrera and Kanter had to lean slightly to the right. Sun Wu was sensitive to the fact that Modric's final choice was still in the middle.

In the 83rd minute, Sun Wu's prediction was verified.

Marcelo tangled with Pavard on the wing, the ball was waded by Vazquez, and Ronaldo received the ball on the left rib twice in a row and suddenly sent a cross.

The ball just rolled past Kanter's toes, and Herrera, who had hoped to destroy it, was blocked by Pogba's back.

"C Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldo..."

"Oh, Pogba... No, it's Modric, the Croatian midfielder is unguarded!"
