Football: Copy the attributes of peak Messi at the beginning

Since ancient times, the final game has been unnamed. In such an important game, one ball can often determine the outcome.

In the history of the Champions League, there have been 14 finals in which only one goal was scored.

Therefore, even though Real Madrid only scored one goal, Real Madrid's advantage is already very large at this time.

Real Madrid's players seemed to know that they had the advantage, so after scoring a goal, they became conservative without any reminder from the coach. They all retreated to their own half, hoping to counterattack Manchester City.

One party becomes conservative, and the other party naturally becomes radical.

After falling behind, Manchester City had lost their way out. At this time, they had to attack and score goals, otherwise they would have to sit back and watch the opponent end their consecutive championship record and win the championship trophy in front of them.

Starting from the 21st minute, Manchester City's offense became extremely fierce.

As long as the players get the ball, they will pass it forward as soon as possible. If the wingers have the opportunity, they will quickly advance from the wing. If the wingers have no chance, they will attack the opponent's center.

During this period, Real Madrid played very passively, and the overall formation was compressed to the extreme. The players originally wanted to seize the opponent's opportunity to attack and counterattack.

But under the crazy siege and pressing of Manchester City players, it was difficult for them to hold the ball, and because of the excessive defensive pressure in the backcourt, the forward players had to retreat to participate in defense, even a super giant like Ronaldo was no exception. .

In the 23rd minute, Manchester City's attack from the right penetrated Real Madrid's defense on the left. Marcelo made a mistake in judgment and was cleverly passed by Lin Quan.

After passing Marcelo, Lin Quan prepared to cut inside. Modric, Ramos and others were attracted by him and were forced to move towards him. However, Lin Quan's movement of cutting inside was just an illusion. Seeing that the opponent followed up After himself, he accelerated and broke through to the bottom line along the sideline of the penalty area.

Modric hesitated for a moment and did not follow through. He was worried that Lin Quan would pass the ball back to the attacking player in the middle.

Just when Modric had this idea, Lin Quan passed back in an inverted triangle before Ramos could get to him, and handed the ball to De Bruyne who was following up from behind.

Seeing that De Bruyne was about to catch the ball and shoot, Cross made a contribution at the critical moment. He made a tackle outside the penalty area and knocked down De Bruyne with the ball, destroying Manchester City's excellent opportunity.

After the foul, Cross apologized and became concerned about De Bruyne's injury.

I was eager to save the ball just now, but I didn't fully control the force when I kicked off the ball. The force of this shovel was relatively strong, and De Bruyne was likely to be injured.

De Bruyne, who was injured and fell to the ground, looked in pain and was holding his right leg, unable to stand up.

The Manchester City players were very angry. Cross's kick was too harsh. If it weren't for the fact that he was a former teammate, they would have stepped forward to ask Cross if he wanted to kill someone!

On the Manchester City coaching bench, Guardiola saw De Bruyne injured and fell to the ground, and he stood up from the coaching bench.

De Bruyne plays a very important role in Manchester City's formation. If he is injured and comes off the field, Manchester City's offensive firepower will be greatly affected, and they may even lose as a result.

It wasn't just Guardiola who was worried, everyone on the entire Manchester City bench craned their necks and looked at the court.

The game time has only passed for more than 20 minutes. If De Bruyne leaves the field at this time, it can be said to be very detrimental to Manchester City. Not only will it passively waste a substitution place, but it will also disrupt their pre-match preparations. All deployments.

Some people were happy and some were worried. On the Real Madrid bench, seeing the opponent's core midfielder injured and falling to the ground, everyone in Real Madrid couldn't help but look forward to it.

If De Bruyne ends the game, their chances of winning this game will be greatly improved.

After showing Cross a yellow card, the referee checked De Bruyne's injury, then reached out to signal for a stretcher to come up and take him off.

Guardiola couldn't help but feel even more worried when he saw the referee's gesture.

He could only let people warm up first, and then determine whether to make a substitution so early based on the team doctor's examination of De Bruyne's injury.

But, who can replace De Bruyne on the bench?

Should the matchup be replaced with a midfielder or a player in another position?

Real Madrid head coach Zidane is also very concerned about this issue. He is curious about who Guardiola will put on the field to replace De Bruyne if he really can't persist?

The result was beyond his expectation. Guardiola called two players from the bench and asked them to warm up. However, these two players were not substitutes to face De Bruyne, but two wingers—— Mbappe and Sane!

This is……

Zidane seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

…

On the pitch, Manchester City is taking a free kick.

The place where Cross committed the foul is not far from the penalty area. A free kick from this position can be directly attempted to hit the goal.

Without De Bruyne, Lin Quan naturally stood in front of the penalty spot.

He looked at the wall of people lined up on Real Madrid's side, and then looked at the opponent's goalkeeper's position, and already thought about how to deal with the ball.

Everyone in Real Madrid has seen Lin Quan's power in free kicks, especially the battle at the Bernabeu. They still remember it fresh.

Therefore, all the players, including Ronaldo, returned to their penalty area and honestly began to line up the wall according to the goalkeeper's arrangements.

Seeing the human wall of Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, Kroos and others, fans couldn't help but think of the famous scene in the first phase of Galacticos - consisting of Raul, Figo, Beckham, Ronaldo, Zida The most expensive human wall in history is composed of a number of people, worth over 220 million euros.

The current generation of galactic battleships more than ten years later is even more valuable than before.

In this game, the combined worth of the 22 players on Real Madrid and Manchester City exceeded 1 billion euros, making it the most expensive Champions League final in history.

Although people often say that you get what you pay for, sometimes, being expensive doesn’t necessarily mean it’s easy to use.

For example, this time, Lin Quan's free kick easily bypassed the opponent's wall and suddenly jumped out from the side of the wall, almost grazing the side net of the far post and flying into the goal.

The goalkeeper has nothing to do with this kind of ball. The opponent's angle is too tricky. Although it is a semi-high ball, in theory it is easy to save, but due to the obstruction of the wall, by the time he sees the ball, it is too late to react.

Lin Quan's goal brought the two sides back to the same starting line. Manchester City quickly equalized the score in less than 5 minutes.

After scoring, Lin Quan did not celebrate. Instead, he ran to the side of the court and leaned over to give De Bruyne a hug while he was lying on a stretcher.

Good friends for life, if you are not here, I will carry your will and move forward together!

Seeing this scene, countless fans at the scene and in front of the TV were deeply moved.

Unexpectedly, these two people not only have good skills and tacit cooperation, but also have such a good relationship.

Ronaldo, who was standing in the center circle waiting for the kick-off, kept following Lin Quan. After seeing this scene, he felt a little envious.

He doesn't have such good friends in the team.

But Ronaldo quickly gave up this idea. He is a professional player who helps the team win championships, not to make friends!

…

After De Bruyne was forced off, the person Guardiola replaced surprised most fans.

De Bruyne's replacement was the 18-year-old Mbappe.

Many people admire Guardiola's courage. On such an important occasion, he boldly introduced a new player and replaced a young player who had just turned 18. Are he really not worried that he will be put under tremendous pressure? Collapse?

After learning the news that he was going to appear, Mbappe did not feel any nervousness. He is a player with a big heart and does not know what nervousness is.

At this moment, I just felt extremely excited.

This is the stage of the Champions League final. Being able to appear on such a stage is what Mbappé dreams of.

When he thought of the trust and respect of the head coach, Mbappe secretly made up his mind to never let down the head coach!

The game restarted and after being tied, Real Madrid returned to normal and were no longer as conservative as before.

In fact, if they had not been so conservative after taking the lead and continued their previous offense, Manchester City might not have been able to equalize the score so quickly.

It was Real Madrid who took the initiative to give up space to Manchester City, allowing Manchester City to burn the battle directly into Real Madrid's half without having to go through a brutal midfield fight. This was their biggest mistake.

In fact, in the final analysis, Real Madrid still lacks experience.

Although they also reached the finals last year, they lost after all. The players had not been baptized by the championship and were seriously worried about gains and losses.

As long as they can overcome this hurdle and win the tenth Champions League trophy that the team dreams of, then next year, even with the same lineup, Real Madrid's strength will be greatly enhanced.

The reason is simple, the team's mood is different!

Just like Manchester City, even when they are behind, the players don't panic at all, and they don't restrain themselves when they are ahead.

Although Real Madrid's state finally adjusted, their offense did not seem so smooth this time.

After De Bruyne came off the field, Manchester City's formation changed.

Lin Quan moved in from the winger position, replacing De Bruyne and acting as the team's midfield commander.

Mbappe appeared in Lin Quan's previous position, but his style is completely different from Lin Quan. He is a speedy winger. For such a winger, as long as his teammates can pass the ball to his feet, his threat will be It will be enlarged infinitely.

Real Madrid obviously did not do enough preparations to defend Mbappe. After all, no one expected him to play so early.

The coach may have mentioned this player before the game, but didn't focus on it.

The players only know that this guy is young and fast, but they don't know how fast he is and how powerful he can be on the court.

After all, football is not a sprint, and it doesn’t just have to be fast.

But in Mbappe's first counterattack after taking the field, Real Madrid's soldiers saw how powerful this young player was.

In the 28th minute, Manchester City launched a quick counterattack. Lin Quan got rid of Modric's entanglement and quickly sent a long pass, accurately finding Mbappe and giving him a certain amount of advance.

For the first time, Mbappe showed his speed to the audience on site and in front of the TV. He used extremely fast steps and powerful pedals to overtake from the outside corner and eat up Real Madrid's opponent. Full-back Marcelo.

Marcelo was taken aback, tried to foul, and pulled the opponent's arm with his hand, but he still couldn't stop the young player from passing him!

Mbappe overtook Marcelo and also received the ball.

He immediately cut inside with the ball, and the goalkeeper immediately chose to attack.

Real Madrid fans have held their breath, and some timid fans even closed their eyes, afraid to continue watching.

However, facing the goalkeeper's attack, Mbappe got a little anxious and shot straight away, which was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

Courtois was frightened when he attacked, thinking that this little kid was too fierce, but he didn't expect that the opponent shot the ball directly into his arms, leaving him stunned for several seconds. Come.

What?

Doesn't this guy know how to shoot?

Is there any way to handle a single sword like this?

Not to mention Courtois, even Manchester City fans found it unbelievable.

The quality of this shot is too low!

The breakthrough and passing just now were very domineering, like an accelerating Ferrari sports car, with a beauty of speed.

As a result, this final kick fell directly from the clouds, which was worse than an amateur player.

It would be great if Aguero or Lin Huang played this ball!

But it is a pity that neither of them has the explosive power and speed of Mbappe.

When Real Madrid's head coach Zidane saw that the opponent's shot missed, he unscrewed the water bottle with trembling hands and poured a few sips into his mouth.

It was so scary. Just when he saw the opponent break through from the wing and cut inside the penalty area, Zidane was already desperate. Unexpectedly, the opponent did not score.

Although he was lucky enough to save his life, he didn't want to see something like this happen again.

Although this kid's shooting skills didn't look very good, no one knew whether he was too nervous or for some other reason.

If he suddenly returns to normal next time, wouldn't Real Madrid be doomed?

In short, we cannot place our hopes on the enemy's mistakes.

Real Madrid's full-back Marcelo looked at Mbappe who was looking downcast with some fear. This kid is really fast and his explosive power is too strong.

Moreover, the bottom plate was also very stable. I really wanted to foul just now, but the result was that it didn't happen.

Is this really eighteen years old?

He is already so scary at the age of eighteen. If he grows up for a few more years, won't he become a monster in football?

Not only Marcelo thought so, but many scouts who came to the scene also thought of this.

Although Mbappe failed to score the goal, the advantages he showed in this attack are remembered by many people.

Archery can be practiced, but innate talent cannot be changed.

Mbappe is fast, explosive, stable in the lower body, and has good combination of man and ball.

These advantages alone are enough to make most wealthy families tempted.

However, when they thought that the opponent was a Manchester City player, the scouts of these wealthy clubs couldn't help but feel their hearts beat.

Will Manchester City give up such an outstanding talent so easily?
