Chapter 627: The Showdown Between the Center and the Goalkeeper

Atletico Madrid, who are two goals-leading, want to control the ball safely and slowly, slowing down the pace of the game as possible. Of course, Manchester United, who are behind, want to score as quickly as possible, so they are more aggressive.

Several of Atletico Madrid’s players also fell to the ground, and the referee also awarded Manchester United players a foul.

Of course, the Atletico Madrid players who have tasted the sweetness will not miss such an opportunity, basically Manchester United players as soon as they stick it, they fall to the ground.

But as they fell more and more, the referee himself muttered in his heart.

The referee of this match is Rizzoli from Italy, this referee is a senior referee in Serie A, who has officiated Champions League finals and World Cup finals, and has a wealth of top-level league law enforcement experience.

In fact, his penalty scale is relatively loose.

So now Atletico Madrid’s knock-and-fall situation now gives him a headache, and the players always give the referee some problems on the field.

Atletico Madrid are also happy to bring the game to such a rhythm and now they are two goals ahead, so for Atletico Madrid, to maintain a two-goal lead and then prevent their opponents from scoring away, then they will advance to the final.

If it is against other teams, Atletico Madrid will even actively shrink, and may even give up the ball moderately.

But now facing Manchester United, in the case of Ronaldo, Manchester United is least afraid of the opponent shrinking the defense, because as long as the opponent shrinks, Ronaldo has room to play, Manchester United only need to keep starting from the two wings, and the next thing is left to Ronaldo.

Of course, Atletico Madrid do not dare to leave such space for Manchester United, so they mainly want to control the pace of the game.

Now it seems that such a strategy is undoubtedly successful.

Manchester United’s momentum in the second half was thus neutralized by Atletico Madrid, and the most Manchester United can do now is to strengthen the pressing and make Atletico Madrid pass mistakes.

In the 56th minute, under the physical pressure of Manchester United players, the football was finally passed back to the feet of Courtois by Atletico Madrid’s players, and at this moment, the players in front of Courtois were basically targeted by Manchester United’s defenders, and in this case, he had to kick the ball forward.

The football was taken by Courtois with a big foot straight to the edge of United’s penalty area, where Atletico Madrid centre-forward Diego Costa awaited.

David Moss expressed in an interview with the media some time ago that Ronaldo is the world’s number one center. The local media at Atletico Madrid were unconvinced, because they felt that Diego Costa was the best center in the world.

And Diego Costa is really good enough, the center is very versatile, excellent shooting, excellent ball sense, awareness and movement.

It’s just that this game, he is out of the country.

But at such times, the role of the center is reflected in Gocosta stopping the ball and turning his back to the goal.

Behind him was United’s centre-back, and when Diego Costa stopped the ball, Fellaini, who was in charge of defensive duties in midfield, was already in front of him.

At this time, there are not many attacking players at Atletico Madrid, and Diego Costa is ready to go it alone!

He stopped the ball at his right foot and prepared to turn around.

It’s just that Ferdinand didn’t eat his set, stabbed him directly behind him, poked the ball to Fellaini, and also flipped Diego Costa to the ground.

Referee Rizzoli had just run from the half of Atletico Madrid, hesitated a little, and finally stopped blowing Ferdinand for a foul!

Fellaini didn’t have time to watch the referee’s reaction, and he would never stop moving without hearing the whistle.

After turning directly to the ball, he directly kicked a long pass and found the top of Ronaldo’s head.

That’s how Manchester United attack, simple, fast and straightforward.

Ronaldo opened his arms and pressed Godin behind him, and Godin seemed to have a hard time confronting Ronaldo.

Ronaldo looked left and right at the position of the Atletico Madrid defense and the position of his teammates, and then directly headed the ball to fix the ball, and the football still kept moving forward, but in the case of Ronaldo, the speed slowed down.

Ronaldo directly used his left foot as the axis, and after quickly turning around, he kicked his right foot forward, ready to directly throw off Godin with explosive power.

Godin, of course, maintained two hundred percent concentration, and he reacted the moment Ronaldo turned around, he would never let Ronado complete his turn and enter the box.

He leaned hard against Ronaldo, trying to turn his body sideways to block Ronaldo’s advance, even if it was worth paying for a foul.

But Ronaldo’s complete burst of power was beyond Godin’s control.

Godin’s resting body was directly pushed away by Ronaldo’s torso, and he only felt that his body rotated in the air for a while, and then fell heavily to the ground.

With his strong strength, Ronaldo successfully broke through Godin’s defense!

The other Atletico Madrid players did not expect Ronaldo to suddenly complete the turn like this, and in a big surprise, Ronaldo was already like a heavy tank, into the box!

Courtois immediately abandoned the door!

Godin fell heavily to the ground, Ronaldo burst out with all his strength, chased the football that was still in the air, and Courtois lowered his center of gravity and rushed out!

Now Atletico Madrid can stop Ronaldo, and he is the only one left.

“A direct duel between Ronado and Courtois! Now it’s time to fight for speed!!! ”

The commentators also became nervous, and the direct dialogue between the center and the goalkeeper, who killed the deer, will decide the winner in this short time or two!

“Ronado !!!!”

In the narrator’s elongated shout, Ronado first stretched out one end, put the ball on top, and then continued to move forward at high speed, so that the weight rushed at such a speed, no one could stop it.

Neither can Courtois, who is ready to reach out and grab Ronado after the football is pushed away by Ronaldo.

He did pull, but it didn’t stop Ronaldo’s advance.

Even if the jersey was tightened by Courtois, Ronaldo’s speed remained forward under the strong action of inertia.

Now that the football is about to fall, Ronaldo stretched out his foot and put the ball pad towards the goal, and then was pulled by Courtois who had been pulled by two hands and fell to the ground!

But it doesn’t matter now.

The football was under everyone’s gaze, along the small parabola of Ronaldo’s feet, and crashed into the Atletico Madrid! _
