So what kind of unflattering choice did Metzelder make?
Seeing Alves send a long pass, Metzelder didn't even think about intercepting his opponent. He turned around and rushed towards his backcourt!
Well, this choice seems to be very correct when placed on any central defender!
If you are out of position and the opponent counterattacks, isn't it right to return to position as soon as possible?
Yes, it must be right!
Then why is it said that Metzelder’s choice is unflattering? Isn’t this contradictory?
No, there is no contradiction at all, because Metzelder, who immediately returned to his defensive position, was able to discover that Alves' long pass route was actually following his direct position!
I believe that when things have developed to this point, everyone understands why Metzelder is afraid of compliments. You said that the opponent clearly kicked the ball to your side and didn't ask you to fill in or anything.
If you stand still, you have at least a 50% chance of destroying Alves' long pass. If you move, the chance increases by at least 30%. Under such a general premise, how did Metzelder choose? [
Metzelder actually didn't even look at the ball, let alone compete for the top, and directly handed over the ball to the opponent. Isn't his performance deceiving enough?
The opposing defender took the initiative to give up his position. Faced with such a big gift, Bell, who happened to run over after participating in the defense, naturally accepted it without any politeness!
He raised his head and glanced at the situation in front of him. He found that when he got the ball, Li Yi also timely blocked Metzelder, who was returning to defend, and got a very good supporting position. Bell once again
Forget Li Yi's cheating performance in the previous game, choose Li Yi specifically, and pass the ball in the direction of Li Yi!
After passing the ball, Bell didn't say he stood still! With a feint, he bypassed Ramos, who was not far in front of him, and Bell quickly advanced along the left sideline!
Just like Bell who passed the ball for him, Li Yi, who momentarily forgot his poor performance in the previous game, got stuck behind Metzelder who had just returned from defense. Then, he was surprised to find that the ball was passed by Bell.
Spread to myself!
It would take some time for the ball to reach his feet. He took the time to glance back at Metzelder, who was nervous behind him, and smiled at the former. Metzelder couldn't figure out what Li Yi's smile represented.
When it came to meaning, Li Yi on the court changed from the decline shown before this game and showed off his little feet on the court!
Metzelder leaned firmly behind him. At the same time, when he calculated that the ball was almost at his feet, he used the former as an axis and turned around. Everyone in the world, including the person involved, Metzelder, thought that
When Li Yi wanted to find a way to pass him, Li Yi did not choose to pass him as others expected. Instead, while turning around, he used the heel of his left foot to knock the ball to the left again!
Well, I have to say that Li Yi's back-heel pass is very imaginative!
However, when the ball went out from Li Yi's feet, all the fans at the scene exclaimed "Huh" in unison!
What's going on? You must know that today is the home court of Crystal Palace, and Li Yi is also the well-deserved king of Crystal Palace. After Li Yi completed such an ornamental pass, how could the fans be so unwelcome?
Well, this has to start with Li Yi's passing!
In other words, Li Yi's pass is sudden and very entertaining! However, Li Yi doesn't usually do organizational work, so the pass is not very reliable!
Take this ball as an example. Watching the ball fly in a direct direction, directly in the direction of Real Madrid's bottom line, and seeing that Bale will definitely not be able to catch up with the ball, can Crystal Palace fans not sigh?
No matter how much they win against a wealthy team like Real Madrid, they still don't think it's enough!
However, is Bell really unable to catch up with the ball? [
Let the person involved, Bell, answer this question himself.
Watching the ball being kicked directly towards the bottom line by Li Yi, at this time, he and Real Madrid right back Ramos had just crossed the center line. If it were an ordinary person, anyone would give up! After all, the road spanning almost 60 meters
The distance, Li Yi's ball speed is not slow, the hope of catching up is really slim!
However, what everyone didn't expect was that after passing the ball this time, no matter whether it was Li Yi who was passing the ball or Bell who was the receiving party, there was no intention to give up at all!
First of all, look at Li Yi. After passing the ball, Metzelder huffed away and kept his hands on himself, disgusting himself. Li Yi rushed towards the hinterland of Real Madrid's penalty area in one swift move!
As the receiving party, Bell was not to be outdone! Since Li Yi, who was passing the ball, had already reacted, Bell would naturally not be content with being behind. Exploding all his speed, Bell also followed the sideline, like the wind,
He rushed towards Real Madrid's bottom line!
"!" Before, although Bell completed the turn the first time he passed the ball, after seeing Li Yi's unreliable pass, Ramos instinctively gave up the chase. After all, his physical fitness is so bad.
The thing is not brought by the strong wind. The game has been going on so far. He has been tortured so much by Bell in this game that he is almost exhausted!
Who would have thought that just as Ramos stopped, in less than a second, Ramos spotted a red and blue figure that swished past him!
He recognized that the person speeding past him was the Bell who had been entangled with him for a whole time. While sighing in his heart for Bell's energy limit, Ramos didn't pay too much attention!
Waiting until Ramos discovered that Bell's speed almost caught up with or even exceeded the speed of Li Yi's pass, and the ball became slower and slower as it approached the baseline. It seemed that Bell really had hope of catching up with the ball, and then Ramos panicked.
god!
He glanced at the current straight-line distance between himself and Bell. He found that the distance was not only 50 meters, but at least 20 meters. He knew how fast Ramos was on the 11th. Although he wanted to chase him at this time, he
Still have to give up!
…
Real Madrid's Ramos gave up and it was just a symbolic run back. As long as Bale can recover the ball, Crystal Palace can exceed the score again?
No, no!
What, although Ramos carelessly gave up too early when defending this time, Metzelder, who was responsible for defending Li Yi, also carelessly relaxed his defense against Li Yi. However, as the soul of Real Madrid's defense on the field,
, Cannavaro has never relaxed!
Although the ball was played from the far end, when Cannavaro reacted, he was unable to destroy Li Yi's pass. However, being unable to destroy Li Yi's pass did not mean that Cannavaro could not destroy Li Yi's pass.
Varro can't guard against you Li Yi!
Coupled with the fact that Metzelder and Ramos reacted and chased back, even if Bell can finally recover the ball magically, I can't say that it will definitely bring a goal to the Crystal Palace.
Now that things have developed to this point, it is actually a bit early to talk about that. For Crystal Palace, whether to score or not can be discussed later. After all, the most pressing issue before them right now is,
The most pressing question is - can Bell recover the ball?
Yes, then everything will be possible. If not, the ball will go out of bounds. Even if Li Yi grabs the flower in the middle of the penalty area, it will not pose any threat to Real Madrid's goal, right?
Can Bale catch the ball?
If, at the beginning of his run, Bell was not sure about the answer to this question, by now, after running away completely, Bell already had the answer without having to catch up with the ball!
And the answer to this question is none other than—absolutely!
In the end, the facts did not exceed Bell's imagination!
He ran 50 meters at a speed unbelievable to others. After catching up with Li Yi's pass, he just glanced at the positions of the players on both sides of the penalty area. After running for more than 50 meters, the air in his lungs could no longer keep up. It was impossible.
Bell made more choices and swept the ball towards the Real Madrid penalty area with a high ball!
Here, I have to say that even a simple pass by Bell now reflects his superior football intelligence!
What, if Bell chooses to pass the ball low, it is impossible to say that it may be destroyed by Cannavaro. After all, the title of the best central defender in the world is not blown by the strong wind. In terms of blocking position,
Cannavaro is not necessarily much weaker than Li Yi!
However, if this cross was replaced by a high ball, it would be a different story!
