When the German referee Felix Brüsch blew the whistle to start the game, Manchester City players immediately swarmed towards Real Madrid's half with a determined look on their faces, as if they were going to fight for their lives.
After Higuain passed the ball to Benzema, the French forward quickly passed it back to Xabi Alonso.
As soon as the Spanish midfielder stopped the ball, he saw Su Dong rushing near him. He was so frightened that he quickly turned around and knocked the ball back again.
Both central defenders Albiol and Ramos retreated very deep. It was Ramos who received Xavi Alonso's back pass first. When he wanted to pass the ball to his partner, he found Sudong.
They were chasing him all the way, and he was so frightened that he quickly caught the ball and broke out in a cold sweat.
If the ball is really passed out, it will definitely be a wild ball. Albiol still has to curse himself to death?
But before it was passed, the ball fell to his feet.
As soon as Su Dong saw Ramos not passing the ball, he immediately changed his direction and pounced on Ramos.
The Real Madrid central defender almost cursed in his heart.
Damn it, the game has just begun, does it need to be so fierce?
But Ramos did not dare to hesitate. When he was about to pass the ball to Arbeloa, the right back faced the offensive direction and received the ball. As soon as he stopped, he found that Di Maria had caught up with him. Ramos
Su Dong was also disturbed here, which left him no other choice. After taking two steps back, he was forced to pass back to Casillas in the penalty area.
But at this moment, Su Dong suddenly threw away Ramos and ran straight towards the attacking Casillas at such a high speed that the Real Madrid goalkeeper was so frightened that he didn't even have time to think about it and kicked the ball away with a big kick.
The outside world.
Okay, the ball changed hands and it became a throw-in for Manchester City.
The entire Etihad Stadium suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers.
Casillas raised his hands and apologized to his teammates, but everyone knew that this was not actually his responsibility.
Manchester City's pressing after the opening was too fierce and very comprehensive, which put Real Madrid's midfielders and backfield players under tremendous pressure, especially Arbeloa's back pass, which simply made Casillas very nervous.
Not easy to handle.
Just pass forward with a big kick. If Su Dong blocks it with a kick, it will be over.
It can be said that Casillas made the safest choice under the last resort.
It's better to lose the ball once than to create a dangerous situation, right?
…
Manchester City seized the ball within ten seconds of the opening, and Marcelo immediately ran up to serve a throw-in.
Su Dong went straight to the left corner of the penalty area, blocked Ramos behind him with his body, and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Marcelo directly threw the ball over. After Su Dong stopped the ball with his chest, he released his foot and stopped the ball firmly on his feet. He gestured to turn around and suddenly sent the ball to the left baseline. Marcelo quickly
He made a pass from the bottom and passed the ball directly to the back point.
Sanchez followed up and fired a low shot, but it missed the goal and the football flew out of the baseline.
All the fans in the audience screamed in surprise.
Manchester City completed its first shot less than twenty seconds into the game.
…
After tasting the sweetness of the first attack, Manchester City continued to launch a fierce press against Real Madrid.
Real Madrid was forced to be on the defensive. They had no way to compete with Manchester City in terms of passing and controlling the ball, so they could only defend. Even attacking players in the frontcourt such as Higuain and Benzema were actively participating in the defense.
The two defensive midfielders Xabi Alonso and Khedira firmly guard the front of the team's defense, especially protecting the two ribs.
Manchester City patiently controlled the ball, passing the ball back and forth, and patiently looking for opportunities.
Both teams were waiting for the other to make a mistake, but took completely different measures.
As soon as Manchester City lost the ball, they stepped up the pressure in the midfield and frontcourt. All the players, including Su Dong, started running and frantically chased Real Madrid's passes to intercept them. This brought disaster to Real Madrid's passing, which was always very difficult.
It's easy to win the ball.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, takes the first step on the defensive as soon as the ball is lost, grabbing the nearest player if they can, and retreating if they can't. They even commit fouls to prevent Manchester City from launching a quick counterattack. This makes Real Madrid's defense very strong, and there are always times in the penalty area.
There is no shortage of defensive players.
However, the high-intensity pressure that Manchester City maintained after the start caused Real Madrid to completely lose their offensive rhythm. As the game began, they gradually showed that they were tired of coping.
.
It's no wonder that Barcelona's pressing intensity, let alone Real Madrid, which team in European football can withstand it?
…
When the game reached the ninth minute, Real Madrid central defender Albiol headed the ball again to clear the ball. He was one step ahead of Su Dong and pushed the ball out of the penalty area. Xavi Alonso kicked the ball forward with a big kick.
Both Higuain and Benzema actively retreated, leaving Cristiano Ronaldo in the frontcourt to fight for this spot. However, Manchester City's Portuguese central defender Pepe took the lead and directly defeated Ronny and headed the ball back.
Toni Kroos just stopped the ball, turned around, glanced ahead, and quickly made a long pass to the right side of the penalty area behind the defense.
Manchester City right winger Sanchez moved forward as quickly as possible, intercepted the ball before it left the baseline, and sent an inverted triangle pass back to the penalty spot.
Su Dong was near the penalty spot. After judging the landing spot first, he got stuck in the position. After stopping the ball with his chest, he dunked the ball to the left with his right foot. He just let it go and passed it back.
Defend Khedira.
After catching up with the ball, without waiting for Ramos to catch up, Su Dong gently poked the ball to his right front with his left foot, and quickly caught up with the ball, just in time to avoid Ramos's attack.
His body also blocked Ramos, making it impossible for the Real Madrid center back to stop him.
And the next thing will be easier to handle.
Sudong didn't let Albiol react. He glanced at Casillas's position and lightly pushed a ground ball with his right foot, letting the ball slide directly from the left side where Albiol could not reach.
Toward the lower left corner of the goal.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Casillas originally stood on the right, and Real Madrid's penalty area was full of defensive players. He originally thought there would be no problem.
Unexpectedly, Su Dong relied on his own footwork, skills and flexibility to evade the two defenders Khedira and Ramos in such a small area, and pushed the shot to the lower left of the goal.
horn.
The ball seemed light and the speed of the ball was not very fast, but the angle was too tricky. Whether it was Albiol or Casillas, they obviously had a chance, but they just missed it a little bit.
The Real Madrid goalkeeper fought hard to save, but still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!"
"In the first nine minutes, Manchester City took the lead in breaking Real Madrid's goal!"
"Su Dong! It's Su Dong again!"
"This shot is really beautiful!"
After Su Dong scored, everyone rushed out of the stadium excitedly and ran all the way to the stands where the fans were. He raised his arms high and kissed the engagement ring on his left hand vigorously.
The entire Etihad Stadium was chanting his name loudly.
One to zero!
Su Dong took the lead in breaking the deadlock for Manchester City and established an advantage.
"Let's relive the process of this goal. Manchester City's counterattack was very fast, Sanchez was also very fast, and passed the ball well, but Su Dong's next handling is the key."
"It was at this stop that I dunked again with my right foot, dodging Khedira beautifully, and then poked again with my left foot. I handled the two touches of the ball extremely well, and then I was able to kick directly and hit the ball.
door, and avoided Khedira and Ramos."
"The key is that there were four Real Madrid defenders around him, and none of them had time to stop him."
"Let's look at the slow motion again. Su Dong's movements are very elegant and calm. He is playing with technique and stream of consciousness. This reminds me of the playing style of Van Basten, the legendary Dutch center.
It’s also very chic and elegant.”
…
Cristiano Ronaldo stood dejectedly with his hands on his hips, standing outside his own 30-meter zone, silently watching Su Dong run out to celebrate the goal, feeling speechless in his heart.
He has long known that Real Madrid's defense cannot trap Manchester City, especially Su Dong.
Su Dong is too strong!
As a good friend of Su Dong, Ronnie was very aware of his strength.
But there is no way, Real Madrid has always been focused on offense and light on defense. Albiol and Ramos are already the strongest central defender combination that Real Madrid can field, unless Pellegrini wants to take risks with teenager Varane.
But the result is probably the same.
Ronnie watched Su Dong run out to celebrate, and felt angry in his heart. Especially when he looked at his teammate Kaka, he found that he was also looking at him. The two superstars looked at each other, and they were aware of each other's thoughts.
Deal with him!
I don’t believe it, two people can’t fuck one Su Dong!
…
The game restarts.
After Manchester City took the lead, they slightly relaxed their pressing pressure.
This was within everyone's expectation. After all, no one can maintain a high-pressure press for ninety minutes. No matter how excellent Manchester City's physical fitness is, they are no exception.
Real Madrid can take a breather, but the scene is still very passive.
Pellegrini adjusted the team's defense and paid more attention to the pressure and interception of the midfield. This was Ronnie's suggestion before the game.
He believed that Su Dong could not defend and could only try to reduce the number of balls passed to Su Dong.
This requires all Real Madrid players to run.
It has to be said that without the ball, players are under great pressure and consume a lot of money.
After the two sides were in a stalemate for about ten minutes, Real Madrid began to adapt to Manchester City's pressing pressure and began to look for opportunities to launch a counterattack.
In the 23rd minute, it was Ramos who made a sudden grab, successfully intercepted the ball, and handed it to Kaká.
After the Brazilian attacking midfielder got the ball, he immediately dribbled the ball forward along the center.
Busquets chased him all the way, but when Kaká advanced in the middle, he suddenly accelerated, passed Busquets, and then passed the ball diagonally to the left rib.
Cristiano Ronaldo quickly stepped in, stopped the ball and dunked past Zabaleta, diagonally into the middle of the penalty area.
When the Portuguese was about to dribble the ball to the edge of the penalty area, Zabaleta was unable to stop him and was forced to foul and gave Real Madrid a free kick in the frontcourt.
Ronnie's speed is too fast. Once he rushes forward, he is really like a Ferrari speeding on the highway. He can't stop him and can only foul.
Ronnie was quickly pulled up from the ground by Kaka, with a smile on his face.
Obviously, he knew he couldn't break through Manchester City's defense, so he wanted a free kick.
