Chapter 22 European Super Cup

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid launched a sharp attack.Asensio made a pass from the right, and Ramos headed the goal at the back point. Unfortunately, Sevilla defender Mariano volleyed the siege, and then Antonio, who succeeded in grabbing a point, made a low shot from the edge of the penalty area on the left side and was confiscated by goalkeeper Rico. .

Looking at Ramos, who rushed to the opponent's goal at the beginning of the game, and Marcelo, who was standing on the penalty area line and sighing, Antonio blinked and was a little dazed.The fullbacks and avant-gardes on the left almost ran farther than the real winger himself. How could this kind of game with his own goalkeeper behind him be so imaginary!

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a full-back come in?" Ramos rolled his eyes at Antonio angrily.

"Who will replace you if you plug in?" Antonio stared at the Real Madrid captain expressionlessly.Looking at those blue eyes, Ramos, who originally wanted to blame the opponent for not scoring such a close shot, vented his anger like this.

"Isn't there Marcelo?" Ramos turned his head away from Antonio, his tone full of indifference.

Antonio continued to stare—whom the hell are you bluffing?Can you look at where Marcelo is now and tell me this again?

Ramos, who was uncomfortable being stared at by the hot eyes, unconsciously felt a little guilty. He deliberately amplified his voice while running to the backcourt, "If Marcelo also lost his position, wouldn't there be Isco? Isco Will help the goalkeeper protect the goal!"

Isco, who was finally assigned the task of organizing the offense by Qi Zu and finally didn’t have to wipe Marcelo’s ass like last season, opened his mouth to try to say something, but under the threat of the eyes of the team boss, he still Aggrieved and moved to the left.

Antonio is a bit regretful. He shouldn’t choose this side because of the low competition pressure on the left. See if Real Madrid is now in charge of the avant-garde, and the defender is in charge of attacking and the winger is in charge of defense?

Even though the UEFA Super Cup is a duel between the champions of the Champions League and the UEFA Europa League last season, Zidane still regards this game as a warm-up match that can better test the strength of the team.In the absence of Ronaldo and Bell, Zidane simply put Benzema on the bench. At the same time, Kroos and Pepe, who consumed a lot in the European Cup, also got a chance to rest.In this way, Real Madrid basically came off the bench.

Although the team's lineup change is the biggest in La Liga, Sevilla is not without strength in the face of Real Madrid, whose main force is missing two-thirds.Their new coach is Sampaoli, who had been rumored with Lazio and the Argentine national team before. Under his leadership, the brand-new Sevilla joined River Plate and Athletic in the South American training, and then moved to Germany. Mainz and St. Pauli.The victories in several warm-up matches made people who were not optimistic about Sevilla, which fell apart quickly after the end of the "three consecutive championships", suddenly admire the Argentine coach's ability to organize the army.

Since Real Madrid's sharp attack in the opening game, Sevilla, which was originally a three-central defender formation, suddenly changed to a more extreme 2-3-5. Their formation was beyond people's expectations. When Ha and Carrizo tried their best to stretch to the two wings, Nzonzi, whose double defensive midfielder was relatively behind, chose to stay in a more forward position.

"What the hell is this formation!" the on-site commentator couldn't help complaining, completely unable to see that he was still praising Sevilla coach Sampaoli's record in several warm-up matches just now, "The goal is so big in the middle A threatening area is left for Nzongzi to defend alone, and at the same time he is used as a midfielder. The key is that Nzongzi is just a defender, an engineer, and his ability to retreat and seize the opportunity is a mess. The result of giving the core area to Real Madrid can only be a loss!"

"But this way Sevilla can form an advantage in the frontcourt. You see, the players of both teams are now crowded in the Real Madrid half, so that it is more intuitive to know which team has the upper hand. Sampaoli Probably because he wants to compete with Real Madrid on offense, and after winning all four warm-up matches, he will face Real Madrid, which has almost all come off the bench, and entertaining the fans with a beautiful game is also a good way to erase the influence of the predecessor.” Another A commentator gave a different opinion.

"But Sevilla lacks organizers, and they don't have the ability to conduct the ball in depth. They can't pass the ball to the striker's feet. What's the use of having the upper hand in the scene?"

……

Leaving aside the debate between the two commentators, Antonio also has his own views on the game situation on the court.

At the beginning, Antonio was indeed frightened by Sevilla's crazy change, so he unconsciously retreated with other players.But soon, he discovered that Seville, who looked terrifying, was actually just a paper tiger.

Antonio rushed over and knocked Ivora away who was about to catch the ball with his back, and then he knocked the football to the middle with his foot and rushed forward without hesitation.

After receiving the ball, Isco kicked a pass, and he also specially gave the lead, hoping that Antonio could cut inside to create a single-handed opportunity.It's a pity that he still overestimated Antonio's speed. The pass was a bit too big, and Mariano, who was closer to the ball, successfully cleared the ball.

Antonio slowed down, stopped and gave Iscoby a thumbs up behind him.

Mariano shook his head with a wry smile. The scene of Antonio helping him defend Sturridge and Coutinho in the Europa League final is still vivid, but now, they have separated the two teams and drew their swords.

Seeing the bitterness on Mariano's face, Antonio was taken aback for a moment. He lowered his head and slowly stepped back to keep a proper distance from the midfielder.

Ivora, who was cut off the ball and almost gave his opponent a single-handed chance, glared fiercely. Unfortunately, Antonio, who was stared at, didn't even look back at him. The Sevilla midfielder, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, was about to explode.

So next, Ivora, who exploded the seed, is omnipotent in stealing, passing, and shooting.It's a pity that Ivora always lacked a little luck in the face of the three lines that Real Madrid deliberately recovered.

Today's goddess of luck obviously prefers handsome and handsome Real Madrid players, or Zizou's metaphysics once again showed its power. Real Madrid, which was oppressed by Sevilla for a period of time, took the lead in scoring.

In the 20th minute, Sevilla was continuously pressed by Real Madrid players after a throw-in in the backcourt. The football passed to the feet of Sevilla player Vitolo, and Isco quickly stepped forward to fight.

Vitolo and Isco met their feet, and the deformed football quickly flew up and spun in an arc.

Antonio ran two steps forward, and saw him raise his leg, hook and pull, and the football obediently stopped at his feet.Then he put the football on his right foot, swung his calf lightly, and the football flew to Asensio on the left.

Asensio seized the opportunity. He volleyed with the instep of his left foot 24 meters in front of the goal, and the football went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!

"Good goal! World wave! A wonderful world wave! The score is now 1-0! Asensio became the youngest Real Madrid goal scorer in the European final at the age of 20 years and 201 days."

Asensio was very excited. He hugged Antonio who assisted him and shouted: "Thank you! Thank you! Antonio! Haha! I scored a goal! I scored a goal for the team!"

Morata first ran over to hug the two, then the others, and the Real Madrid players celebrated wantonly on the field.

Antonio, who was trapped inside, couldn't break free for a while. He struggled for several times, but he didn't move after he failed.When his teammates became less excited, Antonio squeezed out from the crowd, and he couldn't help but look up at the stands above—the area where Sevilla fans were sitting.At this moment, the fans who once cheered for him sat on their chairs without any movement. The raincoats covered the rain, but they couldn't stop the sadness from spreading in the stands.

"We have never lost a game with Rodriguez in the game!" Someone in the crowd said such a sentence, and for a while, the Sevilla fans felt even more sad.

The rainy night in Norway was too cold for the fans in the stands!

But after all, only a small number of people care about Sevilla. A large number of local Norwegian fans in the stands are more inclined to Real Madrid, which has many stars and famous players. Even the commentator has been excited for a long time because of this goal.

"Oh! It's an art to see Rodrigue's light-lifting movements when he stops the ball and unloads his strength! I have to say that Ivora's loss to him is not unjust, and the gap between the two can be seen from these small details !" The rebroadcast replays the scoring process twice, whether it is Antonio's assist or Asensio's shot, there is a very natural rhythmic beauty, which makes people mesmerized.

After all, he is a professional player, and adjusting his emotions is also a compulsory course.After conceding the ball, Sevilla began to adjust the positions of the full-backs and double midfielders.Now, Mariano and Kolodjichak are acting more like full-backs, and Ivora and Nzonzi have begun to relieve the pressure in the middle with more parallel positions, cross-reception and advancement. The mediocre Qingwu Hongsi also consciously moved closer to the middle.Gradually, the balance of forces between the two sides in the middle arc changed, and Sevilla was even better.

After gaining the upper hand in the midfield, Sevilla's chances of attacking Real Madrid's hinterland gradually increased.Franco Vazquez, Vitolo and others have room to play for their excellent sense of the ball and strong fighting ability at their feet. Once they pass the midfield smoothly, Sevilla's terrifying 5-forward attacking formation is easy to rely on The superiority in numbers achieved the crushing of Real Madrid's defense.
