After Manchester City scored a goal, both sides of the game seemed to have a bucket of cold water poured on them, which basically calmed down the players on both sides, and also caused the game to gradually slow down from the fierce opening battle.
If both teams seemed a little impulsive at the beginning, now both sides are gradually coming to their senses.
Manchester City began to patiently control the ball and use it to slow down the pace of the game.
Real Madrid organized its defense patiently, preventing Manchester City's passes from penetrating into its territory easily and threatening its own goal. The investment in counterattacks was not as large as in the opening stage. After all, Real Madrid is now also worried about being penetrated by Manchester City.
His own defense line, especially Su Dong.
It was with this attitude that both teams tacitly chose to remain calm.
As a result, this also brought the game into a stalemate, and no one was able to score the opponent's goal.
The first half ended temporarily at 2-1, and both sides returned to the locker rooms.
After the change of sides, Manchester City did not adjust its tactics, but continued to strengthen passing and controlling the ball, further putting pressure on Real Madrid's defense, while Real Madrid patiently consolidated its defense and waited for opportunities to organize counterattacks.
Time gradually passed, and neither side was able to create an absolute chance.
Manchester City has not made any substitutions for a long time, and Real Madrid only replaced the mediocre Higuain with Callejon.
After the substitution, Benzema was moved to the front line and Callejon served as the right winger.
Obviously, Pellegrini still did not give up the counterattack and still wanted to score a goal.
Both sides attach great importance to each other's ace players. Be it Su Dong or Cristiano Ronaldo, they all received the other's attention and did not get good opportunities.
But after entering the 65th minute, the physical fitness of Real Madrid players dropped significantly.
On the one hand, this is because the pressing force of their players has obviously weakened, and on the other hand, Pellegrini has begun to move the defense back, obviously to shrink the defensive area and save the players' running consumption.
As strong as Real Madrid, the thickness of the current bench is actually far less than that of Manchester City.
Currently, Manchester City still has players like Eden Hazard and Javi Martinez sitting on the bench, while Real Madrid has basically no players on the bench who can replace players on the field.
This is also the reason why Pellegrini did not continue to make substitutions.
The advantage of the passing and controlling system is that it can force the opponent to consume more runs by taking advantage of the ball.
When Manchester City realized that Real Madrid's physical fitness was beginning to decline, Su Dong and the Manchester City players on the court quickly reached a tacit understanding.
Manchester City immediately began to increase the pressing pressure on Real Madrid.
Especially when the game entered the 75th minute, Manchester City's pressing was obviously more intense.
In the 77th minute, after Ramos received a throw from Casillas in the backcourt, as soon as he turned around, he saw Su Dong, who had retreated, suddenly accelerated and rushed towards him.
This surprised the Spanish central defender, but he reacted quickly and passed the ball to Albiol.
Su Dong just ran in front of Ramos, changed direction, turned around and pounced on Albiol, and at the same time cut off the possibility of Albiol passing to Ramos by running the route.
This immediately forced Albiol to face left and passed to Coentrao.
But at this time, Manchester City's right winger Sanchez had also rushed up and charged directly at Coentrao.
After the Portuguese left back dunked Sanchez, he dribbled the ball laterally and passed it back to Albiol. The latter was interfered by Sudong and directly passed the ball to the frontcourt with a long pass.
Benzema retreated and stopped the ball with his back. However, under the interference of Pepe behind him, he could not hold the ball. After stopping the ball, he passed it to Kaka. Kaka took the ball from the center and inserted it diagonally into the left rib.
Going to form a link with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Busquets immediately ran over to intercept, trying to keep Kaká out of the defense. Toni Kroos also immediately retreated to defend. The two of them were in an angle, clamping down on Kaká.
After being blocked by Busquets, Kaká slowed down, but at this time Toni Kroos caught up from the side and took the first step, grabbing the ball and tripping Kaká at the same time.
The Brazilian fell at the edge of Manchester City's penalty area, but Busquets grabbed the ball immediately.
The surrounding Real Madrid players immediately raised their hands in protest, thinking it was a foul.
"The referee did not blow the whistle. It seems that he believed that Manchester City's defense did not foul this time and Toni Kroos intercepted successfully."
"Look at Manchester City's counterattack this time. Busquets took the ball and moved forward."
Don't look at Busquets, who has been holding back in the fourth position, but he actually has very good footwork and is very stable in dribbling the ball. Especially when there is no defensive player in front of him, he dribbles the ball directly across the center line all the way.
Drive the ball forward.
After a back-and-forth pass with David Silva, Busquets had already rushed to the front of Real Madrid's 30-meter area and quickly passed the ball to Su Dong, who was retreating to respond.
Su Dong stopped the ball with his back, saw Busquets advancing from his side, and immediately passed the ball across the ball, turned around and sprinted forward.
Busquets understood this and did not stop the ball. Instead, he directly followed Su Dong's cross and pushed the ball forward.
The ball passed diagonally behind Ramos and slid towards Su Dong's path. After Su Dong made the forward move, he faced Albiol who ran over to intercept him, and behind him was Ramos who was chasing after him.
, as soon as he stopped the ball, he passed the ball behind Albiol's left side with his right foot. He suddenly accelerated and rushed past Albiol's right side.
Poor Albiol, he just ran from the right side of the top of the arc to block Su Dong, but he passed the ball with one man. He just passed the ball back to the right side of the top of the arc and fell into the penalty area. Su Dong
He got rid of Real Madrid's two central defenders in one breath.
"Beautiful pass!"
"Su Dong completed a wonderful personal performance."
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After passing the ball to himself two seconds later, Su Dong caught up with his pass on the right side of the Real Madrid penalty area, turned around and faced the goal, leading
The ball took a step forward, and without waiting for the defensive players behind him to catch up or for Casillas to attack, he shot straight away.
As soon as Casillas entered the small penalty area, he saw Su Dong take off his foot. He landed immediately, but the ball was faster and flew directly past his side, almost grazing the right post and shooting in.
Real Madrid goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"
"In the 77th minute, in the 77th minute, Su Dong scored another victory and scored twice, helping Manchester City successfully equalize the score, 2-2!"
"My God, Su Dong's performance was very good this time. He used a wonderful kick to break through Real Madrid's central defender and calmly seized the opportunity when he formed a single shot to score another goal for Manchester City.
city."
"Two to two, the two sides returned to a tie again, and the total score expanded to six to three."
"This is a desperate score, because Real Madrid can't tie the score now if they score three more goals. Instead, they need to score four goals to turn the situation around, because Manchester City has two away goals."
"This is what we were talking about just now. Real Madrid's biggest problem now is that it cannot stop Manchester City, especially the attack from Su Dong. The goal just now is definitely a masterpiece of Su Dong's personal ability."
"Real Madrid players are protesting to the referee, believing that Toni Kroos fouled Kaká first and Su Dong's goal should be invalidated, but the referee obviously does not agree with this statement."
"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay. Manchester City's defense was kicked off by Toni Kroos."
“Very neat and tidy!”
"Toni Kroos touched the ball first and then the person. This was a very wonderful defense."
"There is no problem with the referee's enforcement this time."
Manchester City's players rushed to the sidelines to celebrate. Even many people on the visiting team's coaching bench and bench rushed over and hugged Su Dong and his teammates on the sidelines.
Everyone knew very well that with Su Dong's goal, the game was completely over.
Real Madrid must score four goals to reverse the situation. Otherwise, even if Real Madrid scores three more goals, it will not help because Manchester City has one more away goal than Real Madrid.
Therefore, Su Dong's goal basically sentenced Real Madrid to death.
…………
…………
Facts also confirm this.
Pellegrini then continued to strengthen the offensive, but replaced players such as Granero and failed to perform well.
The morale of Real Madrid's players was greatly hit, and everyone even seemed a little disinterested.
This is normal because the trend is over.
Even in a physically full start, they couldn't score four goals in a row without conceding a goal to Manchester City. Not to mention that their physical strength has been almost exhausted. At this time, what can they do to fight against Manchester City?
Cristiano Ronaldo's desire to win is the strongest, and he even seemed a little impatient. He took two long-range shots directly from outside the penalty area, but failed to threaten Manchester City's goal.
That's how he is, once he gets anxious, his whole person becomes careless.
Real Madrid's morale was greatly reduced, but Manchester City continued to play steadily, controlling the ball while patiently wearing down their opponents.
After the game entered the 80th minute, Manchester City also created several good opportunities, but Ramos and Casillas performed well and did not allow Manchester City to score again.
But at this time, Real Madrid was no longer able to prevent the team from losing.
In the last few minutes, both sides played a bit tired and lazy, and no one organized an effective offensive.
When the referee's whistle sounded, the score was finally fixed at 2-2.
Manchester City successfully eliminated Real Madrid from the Champions League quarter-finals with a total score of 6 to 3 in the two rounds and successfully advanced to the Champions League semi-finals.
This is undoubtedly the pinnacle moment in Manchester City's history.
This Premier League team participated in the Champions League for the first time in history. Not only did it stand out from the group of death, it also eliminated AC Milan and Real Madrid, the two major Champions League champions, in the knockout rounds and successfully reached the semi-finals.
The solid results forced everyone to admit Manchester City's strength.
Real Madrid missed the powerful offensive in the first 20 minutes and failed to seize the opportunity to expand the result. In the end, they failed to create a miracle of reversal at home.
