Chapter 584 Mr. Billionaire

Amidst the huge boos, Messi scored the penalty kick firmly, and Barcelona took the initiative to control the game.

Zidane paced back and forth off the court, scratching his head, thinking about the next tactical arrangement.

Barcelona is different from other opponents. They can use their strong field control ability to gain the dominance of the game.

Even if they are behind, they can quickly equalize the score.

The game continued and Real Madrid kicked off.

Barcelona's morale is high, and Koeman wants to take advantage of this momentum and go all out to win the game in the first half.

Faced with Barcelona's pressing, Real Madrid actually played the pass in the backcourt.

Modric and Kroos control the team's rhythm and attack direction, and form a triangle echo with Casemiro, passing and cooperating in a small area.

In order to curb Real Madrid's counterattack, Koeman requested a restriction on Kroos's ball, keeping the ball in Real Madrid's half.

As the core of the team, Kroos was particularly prominent in the games against Atlanta and Liverpool.

As long as Kroos is blocked, Real Madrid's offense will not be able to counterattack quickly.

In fact, from the beginning of the game, Kroos did not succeed in a long ball under the interference of the opponent's pressing.

Just as Koeman was proud of the success of his tactics, Kroos, under the pressure of Durst, crossed the ball to Valverde's feet.

Durst can block his forward pass, but he cannot prevent Kroos' pass behind him.

After receiving the ball on the weak side, Valverde strode the ball up from the back.

step,

two steps,

Three steps...

Valverde, who has fully accelerated, has no intention of stopping at all, striding towards the Barcelona penalty area.

Under the cover of Rossi, Modric and Vazquez, Valverde rushed all the way from the backcourt to the ribs and passed to Vazquez, who was unguarded on the wing.

In this counterattack, Real Madrid's real speed-up machine is Valverde.

Real Madrid's series of passes in the backcourt before this was just the foreshadowing for this attack.

Valverde, who has excellent explosive power and physical confrontation, has performed the duties of a full-back excellently.

Vazquez glanced at the penalty area and swept the ball in front of the goal.

Rossi started from the left rib of the penalty area and crossed into the penalty area diagonally, kicking the ball to the near corner of the goal from the front point.

Barcelona's three central defenders didn't notice Rossi's existence at all, and watched the ball go into the net dumbfounded.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[Real Madrid quickly equalized the score! 】

[From an opportunity to counterattack! 】

[Valverde took the ball from the backcourt and advanced at high speed, tearing through the Barcelona defense! 】

[Barcelona is obviously not prepared enough. I didn't expect Real Madrid's counterattack to start from Valverde's side! 】

In Real Madrid's defense just now, all members retreated to the half court. Everyone thought that the counterattack strategy was to pass a long pass from the backcourt to Vinicius' offensive area.

But their real offensive focus is Valverde, who is at the wing back.

This can't help but remind fans of Bell in previous seasons.

The Welsh star was a full-back when he debuted for Tottenham.

After performing a "hat-trick" against Inter Milan, the Tottenham coach took a fancy to his offensive ability and gradually transformed him into a winger.

After coming to Real Madrid, Bell's position has been arranged on the right winger, and together with Benzema and Ronaldo formed the striker BBC combination that makes European teams fearful.

In the 16-17 season, Zidane placed Bell at the right wing back for the first time.

On the basis of protecting the right line of defense, the counterattack of the front field is guaranteed.

In the past two seasons, Bell, whose running ability has seriously declined due to injuries, has been unable to meet Zidane's tactical requirements.

Valverde has plenty of physical fitness and strong physical confrontation, and can use his running ability to cover the entire wing, which is why Zidane arranges him in the starting lineup.

Shortly after Barcelona kicked off, the ball was intercepted by Real Madrid in the backcourt.

This time, Kroos withstood Durst's defensive confrontation, turned around and passed the ball behind the Barcelona defense.

Vinicius accelerated forward immediately after receiving the ball, and looked in front of the goal. Rossi and Valverde had already outflanked the goal.

That's right, before Kroos passed the ball, Valverde was still cruising near the midfield.

When the ball came out, he and Rossi had started at the same time and entered the penalty area.

Real Madrid's attack was as calm as a lake before it was launched.

Kroos's pass, like dropping a depth charge into a calm lake, suddenly swept the entire court.

Before Barcelona's midfield defense had time to react, the ball was already in the net.

The attack was swift and violent, leaving them speechless.

This is not Zidane's impromptu performance, but a tactic arranged in advance.

Only then did Koeman realize why Zidane removed Benzema and replaced him with Valverde.

This is the B2B that turned him into a winger.

In order to give Valverde and Vinicius room to sprint forward, Rossi had to drop back sharply and pull out the gap.

Benzema can do this too, but not as well as Rossi.

Another point is that Rossi is slightly better than Benzema in terms of timing and explosive power.

The advantage that Barcelona finally grabbed was disintegrated by Rossi's goal, and the game returned to the original balance.

The thickness of Real Madrid's defense in the middle made Barcelona's offense return in vain. Relying on the bottom pass from the wing had little effect.

The Barcelona players felt helpless.

It's the feeling of having possession of the ball but not being able to play your own game.

Under the high-intensity confrontation, the game time quickly entered the halftime break.

"Everyone performed very well in the first half, don't relax, Real Madrid's counter-attack will not last long."

Valverde sprints back and forth in a wide range, even if he is physically fit, he cannot sustain the whole game.

Once the physical fitness seriously declines, Real Madrid's advantage on the right disappears instantly.

Moreover, in order to make up for the gap left behind by grabbing Messi in the midfield, Vazquez made frequent defenses and consumed too much energy.

Ever since, Koeman asked Griezmann to warm up, preparing to come off the bench in the second half, and teamed up with Alba to attack Real Madrid's right-sided defense.

Before the start of the second half, Zidane saw Griezmann, who came off the bench, with surprise in his eyes.

Koeman's adjustment was too fast, and he immediately took targeted measures on his right.

Compared with Durst, Griezmann's wing assault ability is stronger, and it is more difficult to defend.

Militang and Nacho's central defender partner really accepted the impact from Barcelona.

Seeing this situation, Zidane let Casemiro retract to protect the defense.

With his presence, the deficiencies can be checked and filled in a timely manner.

In the 55th minute, Messi took the ball in the middle to instigate an offensive, and Casemiro immediately stepped up to interfere.

At the same time, Rossi also came back to participate in the defense, and his teammates worked together to break the ball from Messi's feet.

[Beautiful double-team defense! 】

[Rossi and Casemiro successfully broke the ball away from Messi's feet! 】

[This is the first time the two have faced off in the competition! 】

[Maybe Messi didn't expect that Rossi actually retreated to such a deep position to defend! 】

[Real Madrid strikes back! 】

After Rossi intercepted the ball, Modric glanced at Vinicius on the left and passed the ball.

At the moment the Cubs received the ball, Rossi also advanced to the same level as him, forming a 2v3 counterattack situation.

[Real Madrid counterattacked, Vinicius passed Mingesa, 2v2 in the frontcourt! 】

[Rossi quickly advanced in the middle, and there were Barcelona defenders chasing desperately behind him! 】

[It's very fast, it's Messi, Messi! ! ! 】

Seeing Messi actively chasing Rossi back, the Bernabéu stadium suddenly erupted into astonishing cheers.

After Ronaldo went to Serie A, he still maintained a good competitive state and scoring feeling.

But Juventus' help to him in the Champions League and Golden Globes in recent years has been very limited.

Coupled with the growth of age, Ronaldo has basically withdrawn from the competition for the Ballon d'Or, unless Juventus wins the Champions League.

Right now, Messi and Rossi are the most powerful contenders for the Ballon d'Or.

As for Neymar, Mbappe, Lewandowski and others, they are all slightly inferior.

In order to make up for the mistake, Mingesa exhausted all his strength, ran with his head up, and desperately returned to defense.

But when he caught up with Vinicius, the ball had already crossed in front of Rossi near the top of the penalty area.

Messi stretched out his right foot, trying to poke the ball away before Rossi.

Rossi guessed his intention, stuck Messi with his body advantage, and fell towards the penalty area.

drop!

Against the foul behind him, even if Messi does not get a yellow card, Real Madrid will also get a penalty.

[See, this is the competition experience! 】

[Use Messi's behind to steal the ball and create a defensive foul! 】

[Much better than anti-gravity diving! 】

Even Messi, who has experienced many battles, did not expect that he would fall into Rossi's way, so he could only sit silently on the turf, waiting for the referee's penalty.

But the referee did not give Real Madrid a penalty, but a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Because Messi's foul location is not in the penalty area, but near the penalty area line.

Even if Rossi fell in the penalty area, it would not be a penalty.

Barcelona, ​​who escaped unharmed, was ecstatic and hurriedly arranged a human wall.

Although the free kick on the penalty area line is close to the goal, it is not easy to use force to create an arc.

Rossi is more suitable for free kicks around 25 meters.

The free kick was taken by Toni Kroos.

Rossi stands on the left side of the ball and cooperates with Kroos.

Direct shot or free kick tactics?

Ter Stegen adjusted his gloves and stared ahead intently.

After the whistle, Kroos started his run-up, and Rossi gently moved the ball forward.

Busquets rushed out immediately and blocked Kroos' shot.

But Kroos did not shoot directly, but instead pushed the ball with his arch and passed it to Modric on the right side of the penalty area.

[Real Madrid free kick cooperation! 】

[The ball comes to Modric's feet! 】

[Opportunity! ! ! ! 】

Modric in the penalty area did not adjust, and bounced the ball towards the far corner of the goal with the outside instep of his right foot.

The arc shot from the outside instep is a goalkeeper's nightmare. Ter Stegen has tried his best to save it, but he still can't touch the ball.

欻!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of hanging the net, the Bernabéu stadium boiled again.

The white scarves on the stands kept waving like waves of white waves.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

[The ball is scored, a wonderful outside instep shot! 】

[From Real Madrid midfielder Modric! 】

[It's hard to imagine that Modric, who is already 35 years old, is still in hot form! 】

[Not only that, Rossi and Kroos played a huge role in this scoring process! 】

[The outstanding performance of the two reminds me of a piece of news in the summer of 16! 】

[At that time, Real Madrid really wanted Pogba, who had the world's number one midfielder! 】

[But Juventus offered a transfer condition of 1.2 million + Toni Kroos! 】

[At the same time, Manchester United spent nearly [-] million pounds to join the ranks of competing for Pogba, and gave up continuing to chase Rossi, who led Leicester City to the championship! 】

[Now more than four years have passed, and Pogba has only one League Cup champion in terms of club honors! 】

[And Rossi and Cross went crazy in the Champions League and won several Champions League titles! 】

[The value of the two in Real Madrid is the real billionaire! 】
