Chapter 227 Am I the protagonist?(1/2)

Wu Jie laughed in front of the TV, Lin Yaodong was acting as a doorman.

Although it is difficult to prevent Chen Haonan from delivering ultra-long-distance artillery shells in the backcourt, if the defense line is moved forward, although there will be more embarrassing defensive areas exposed, the offensive side's movements will also be more obvious.

No matter how awesome you are at this time, in the end you can only pass to a location that everyone knows.

Even the offensive method is known to everyone. It must be to create a single goal by countering offside.

This response is of course a desperate one, and it's okay to say it's like dancing on a tightrope.

Lin Yaodong also admitted that he was "gamble", because as long as Real Madrid caused a threatening one-on-one goal, the game would be basically over.

But the advantage is that the defensive pressure is concentrated on him alone, and Juventus's defense can provide sufficient support for the midfield and frontcourt.

After this dangerous situation, Juventus controlled the ball for a full three minutes. Once the attack was blocked, they could pass back and all four defenders could respond.

Naturally, the Real Madrid players fought hard with all their strength, but when center back Sirea received the back pass and passed the ball to Lin Yaodong who was outside the penalty area, the Real Madrid players finally felt pain.

They had never seen this type of play before, and they didn't know how to deal with it for a while. They all felt like they were being walked like a dog.

Chen Haonan felt that they could defend with all their strength. They were leading Juventus anyway, and there were only twenty minutes left in the game. As long as they maintained this score, they could eliminate the opponent. There was no need to compete with the opponent for every inch of ground.

But Real Madrid players feel that the opportunity is right in front of them. How can they not take advantage of such a big gap?

Real Madrid's head coach also believes that it is not safe to fully defend now. Juventus has left such a big gap in the backcourt, and your Chen Haonan's passing is so accurate. As long as you successfully cause a single goal, you can completely send the Italian away.

, but doesn’t retreating now give Juventus a chance to make a comeback?

This idea is not wrong, but the Real Madrid players themselves did not realize that Juventus's three-minute back-and-forth maneuver made Real Madrid's defensive formation full of loopholes.

This time the back pass was passed to the goalkeeper Lin Yaodong. Real Madrid players felt that there would be no threat. Their originally high-strung spirits immediately relaxed. Many people were ready to take a few breaths and regain their strength.

But they didn't expect that Lin Yaodong would hit the football with a long pass, aiming directly at the golden boy Rossi in the frontcourt.

This is beyond the expectations of the Real Madrid players. Rossi, a superstar who has declined very quickly, is now on the eve of a cliff-like decline, which means he is still in the best period of his career.

Lin Yaodong's pass was excellent in terms of accuracy and suddenness, but it is not easy to unload such a high-altitude ball that spans more than half of the court.

But Rossi did it. He jumped up while running and used the instep of his outside foot to steadily dump the ball not far in front of him. After landing, he only had to accelerate and run two steps to catch up with the football.

Real Madrid's center back Navajas did not expect the crisis to come so suddenly. He was unprepared and was immediately accelerated away by Rossi.

Rossi stopped the ball with almost no time, and Navajas had no chance to pursue the ball again.

Rossi took a few steps into the penalty area and formed a one-on-one fight with Agustín. At this time, facing the Real Madrid goalkeeper who attacked hastily, Rossi calmly pushed at a small angle. The football just bypassed Agustin's defensive range and quickly passed by.

He rolled towards the left post and into the goal.

The 70,000 fans in the "Del Alp Stadium" collectively shouted the name of "Rossi" when the ball was scored!

Of course, they have not forgotten Lin Yaodong. In fact, since the second half, they have been calling "Lin", a surname that is easier for them to pronounce.

Rossi contributed a lot to this goal. The stoppage was absolutely world-class, and the final single-handed ball handling was also very calm. It is not surprising that he won the "Golden Ball Award" in his current state.

But Lin Yaodong accounted for at least half of the credit for this goal. His super long pass out of the penalty area was so surprising.

None of the Real Madrid players, including Chen Haonan, expected him to make this move. This line of defense, which even Platini could not break, was directly penetrated by this pass.

After Rossi scored, he immediately pointed in the direction of his own goal. Everyone knows that without the Chinese goalkeeper's heroic performance, they would have conceded not only two goals, but even been defeated in the last game.

The morale of the Real Madrid players dropped drastically at this moment, and their efforts for most of the game were in vain. Now the two sides are back on the same starting line.

Chen Haonan was also helpless. Although he was the team's tactical core, he could only play according to the team's favorite style and could not make the whole team obey his orders.

Many people will wonder, what is the tradition of Real Madrid?

Most people will definitely say that Real Madrid's tradition is that there is no tradition, or it is a "superstar tradition". They are very good at adjusting their style according to the style of their stars.

This is correct to a certain extent, but the prerequisite is that the game must be played beautifully and beautifully.

Real Madrid fans can accept changing the team's playing style according to the style of each superstar, but the prerequisite is that they do not accept ugly utilitarian football.

If it is an ugly style of play that puts defense first, then even if the superstar comes, he will not be given face.

Of course, if Barcelona keeps grinding them on the ground for several consecutive years and fails to win any competition, but their mortal enemy can win various championships, then Real Madrid fans will not be unable to accept this change.

But the current Real Madrid will definitely not accept an overly conservative style, and Chen Haonan cannot let the team play utilitarian football in order to win, otherwise his status will be affected.

In order to consolidate his position, he often deliberately uses some fancy moves to pass people in the game. Otherwise, it would be difficult for this style of play to be unanimously supported by Real Madrid fans and the Madrid media.

Therefore, he has to find a way to "fried meatballs" several times in every game, and from time to time use "ox tail pass" and "cycling", so that Real Madrid fans can accept his simple and unpretentious style of play.

Now that Juventus equalized the total score, Real Madrid's response was of course to continue attacking and fight back.

Chen Haonan didn't think there was a problem this time. Before Juventus scored, he thought the surest way to deal with it was to defend.

But now that the two teams are back on the same starting line, whoever is cowardly may be overwhelmed by the opponent's morale, and then the chance of losing will be much greater.

This turned the last twenty minutes of the game into a battle between Chen Haonan and Lin Yaodong, frantically throwing bombs into the opponent's open area while frantically attacking to destroy the pass.

It's obvious that Lin Yaodong is imitating Neuer's playing style.

His range of motion on the court was incredible, and the furthest he even ran as close to midfield as he could to complete a clearance.

This style of play was too crazy and eye-catching in the 1980s, and of course it frightened many Juventus fans!

His method of proactively charging towards the opponent to resolve threats seriously tests the hearts of his fans every time.

Lin Yaodong originally didn't dare to be so unrestrained, otherwise the conservative and rigorous coaching staff would have asked him to calm down on the bench for a few games.

But the coaching staff can't think of a way to restrict Chen Haonan. In the current situation, only his method works, so he can naturally do whatever he wants boldly.

If this score can really be dragged into overtime or even a penalty shootout, then he will be the team's only winning hero.

On the other hand, if he loses the ball because of this crazy style of play, a large part of the blame will fall on him.

Lin Yaodong is willing to take a gamble, because Juventus fans are not that difficult to serve. As long as you win here, you are awesome! You are a hero!

The second half was about to enter stoppage time. Juventus, which had always had the advantage in the midfield, finally created a chance to win. Platini got rid of it and sent an exquisite through ball.

But Rossi, who had made great achievements not long ago, has stretched his crotch this time!

This pass, which was not difficult to catch, actually stopped wide.

Sabido immediately grabbed the ball, turned around and kicked it to Chen Haonan.

Chen Haonan didn't look up at all to observe Lin Yaodong's position. He kicked the shot from the backcourt completely by feeling.

How could Lin Yaodong have thought that Rossi would waste such a good opportunity and hurriedly turned around and ran towards the goal.

But it was too late, so I could only watch the football fall high towards the goal.

There was a loud "bang"!

This sound is undoubtedly gospel from heaven for Juventus fans, and countless "Hallelujahs" instantly sounded in the "Stadio del Alpe"!

Chen Haonan looked regretful. If this goal had been scored, even if Juventus equalized the score in the last few minutes, they would eventually lose the game because they conceded more away goals.

But unfortunately luck was not on their side. After that, both teams began to be conservative to prevent being killed by the other side!

After three minutes of injury time, the score was still 1:2.

Juventus fans can accept this result. They know that their goalkeeper is of a higher level, so it is best to delay the penalty shootout.

Real Madrid fans began to have a bad feeling. They could see that their players seemed to be inferior to their opponents in terms of physical fitness, because they had just played an away game against Barcelona four days ago.

Although we won that battle, it definitely had an impact on the team's physical fitness.

Juventus did not play a game for a week. At this time, there were only 16 teams in Serie A. They took a big advantage in the schedule.

After the two teams rested for ten minutes, overtime began.

In the first half of overtime, Lin Yaodong still adopted this proactive but risky approach to defense.

Juventus firmly controls the midfield, and Real Madrid players are the ones who are slipped away most of the time.

Chen Haonan was also embarrassed, because if he got the ball and directly launched a long pass, if he failed to form a single shot, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to giving the ball to the opponent that he had finally obtained.

But if they don't play like this, the opponent will form a double-layered defensive formation in the midfield and have an absolute numerical advantage, making it difficult for them to penetrate on the ground.

Lin Yaodong's double-edged move slowly seemed to cause Real Madrid more headaches.

In the end, they could only launch long passes into the heart of Juventus, but Cunningham and Gordillo could no longer run.

If they can't rush, it will be difficult to create a single-handed ball opportunity after offside.

This made it impossible for the two teams to break through each other's goal in the first half of overtime.

When changing sides, the referee gave both sides a few minutes to rest and let the players from both teams drink some water.

After the overtime in the second half started, Juventus no longer used risky tactics, and everyone returned to defense and began to set up an iron barrel formation.

At this time, not only the Real Madrid players were running out of energy, but the Juventus players were also about to take a break.

In this case, neither side could pose any threat.

The game lasted until the 29th minute of overtime, when players from both teams were ready for a "penalty shootout".

But there is a person who wants to take a final gamble. Maybe he can turn his bicycle into a motorcycle?

This person is naturally Lin Yaodong. This time he not only pressed out of the penalty area, but also used a change of direction to pass Argentine forward Ramon Diaz after receiving the ball.

"What does he want to do?"

Players from both teams were a little confused by this scene, and the fans in front of the TV were even more shocked.
