Diego Costa is a dirty striker.
Sun Xingmin is Yue Buqun's "gentleman ball".
Before these two people came into being, the "villains" in European football were relatively pure.
North de Jong.
East Ibrahimovic.
Siruni.
Nan Pepe.
Real Madrid Sports City, Zidane is a little troubled.
Because Varane is injured.
The 23-year-old French central defender is Li Kang on the defensive end in the eyes of the European media.
"Varane's speed, comprehensiveness, and overall perspective are a natural restraint for a team like Leverkusen that values width!"
"It doesn't matter, we still have Pepe! He has recovered well recently, and Leverkusen's offense cannot pose a threat to Real Madrid."
Bertoni pointed at a bald man on the training ground and suggested.
Zidane said nothing.
far away.
Pepe is practicing one-on-one with Ronaldo.
There was kindness in his eyes.
Many fans believe that he has become more mature as he grows older.
Actually not.
A careful look at the games of the three La Liga Super Leagues in recent years will reveal that the main reason is that encountering two "alternative" forwards in Diego Costa and Suarez made Monk Pepe realize that being fierce cannot solve all problems.
To hang out, you have to rely on your brains.
A series of leg sweeps and kicks Castro grabbed the hair, and Albin was hammered hard.
Volley knee collides with Sandro and whips Sissoko.
Cutting off his descendants and kicking Lago.
An elbow attack against Drogba in his later years.
Foot on Messi's palm.
All kinds of evil deeds have aroused the disgust of most neutral fans.
Pepe, who is 16 years old, is working hard to change in the direction of acting.
"Li is a flower in the greenhouse. He can't pass my test."
the other side.
Other Real Madrid teammates are practicing jumping around.
Casemiro asked: "How will we play in the second round?"
Cross thought for a moment and said seriously:
"Ignore Li outside the thirty-meter area because his teammates can't keep up."
"You only need to surround Li within the thirty-meter area, because his teammates can't escape the space."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Real Madrid led by two goals in the first round. If Leverkusen wants to advance, they will definitely attack in the second round.
The execution of overall tactics is based on the characteristics of all players.
Leverkusen cannot produce effective offensive coordination under Real Madrid's high pressure.
Leverkusen training base.
Old Man Top was worried:
"The two goals in the first round were entirely due to Li's personal ability. Now that Real Madrid understands his characteristics better, it will be difficult to replicate the goals in the second round."
"Real Madrid have the best coaching staff on the planet and their players are not fools to stop thinking."
Dino was silent.
He had a hunch at this time: If Lee is not sent to play, the German Cup is likely to be eliminated by Red Bull Leipzig.
A few days later.
Leverkusen, a small city with a population of only 200,000, suddenly saw an influx of countless Real Madrid fans.
Due to the rules on away ticket sales, only a small number of people were able to grab tickets for the away stands.
But it can't stop the enthusiasm of Real Madrid fans.
They gather in bars and squares to cheer for their teams.
Every corner is full of Spanish
Bayer Arena.
Seats in the home stands have been eliminated.
More than 30,000 fans crowded into the cramped stands.
They would rather stand for ninety minutes and cheer for Leverkusen!
"CTV5! CTV5! Good evening, viewers!"
"Welcome to the second leg of the 2015/16 Champions League semi-finals!"
"Leverkusen vs. Real Madrid!"
"The score in the first round between the two sides was 4:2! Real Madrid has a two-goal lead!"
"Hey! Varane is injured and we see Pepe appear in the starting lineup!"
"This is definitely a good thing for North Rhine!"
"So far in 2016, Real Madrid has only lost one game. At that time, Pepe played the entire game and conceded a shocking 6 times in the backcourt!"
"I am the commentator for this game: Duan Xuan!"
"I'm He Wei."
"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides."
"Real Madrid's formation is 4-3-3!"
"Goalkeeper:"
Studio.
-
[Did Leverkusen receive a suspended death sentence? Real Madrid still has a full lineup and does not give them any chance to make a comeback. 】
-
[Almost, Li Mingdeng will definitely not be able to replicate his one-horse-for-thousand performance in the first round. If the opponent is on guard, he won't just stand there and charge at you. 】
-
[Even if the score tonight is a draw or a small loss by one goal, Real Madrid can advance to the final. 】
-
[Can Leverkusen comeback 2:0? 】
The referee team led the players from both sides out of the tunnel.
The familiar Champions League theme song suddenly sounded.
The stands on all sides instantly erupted into cheers like a landslide and tsunami.
The black and red team flag fluttered in the wind.
Mini flares exploded in every corner!
The entire Bayer Arena was shrouded in thick smoke and red light.
The broadcast above the stadium shouted the name of No. 10.
"Lee!"
"Lee!!!"
In the North Stand, a giant mosaic puzzle quietly fell!
It has the back of Leverkusen No. 10 printed on it!
"This may be Leverkusen's last game in the Champions League this season!"
"Fourteen years later, they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League again! Unfortunately, this time they are so far away from the top of the Champions League!"
"North Rhine, will a miracle happen tonight?"
Old Man Top was pacing back and forth nervously.
Zidane sat calmly on the coaching bench.
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The game officially begins.
Leverkusen possession of the ball.
Kiessling hit Son Heung-min with the kick.
Under the pressure of Benzema, the latter decisively passed the ball back to Li Kang!
It's a pity that the passing force is not enough.
The football was intercepted by Ronaldo who was sprinting!
"Oops! Did Benzema use all his skills on defense? His interference ability is so good!"
"Real Madrid is going to get a head start!"
Ronaldo strongly suppressed his chance to shoot from the 40-meter area.
No longer at his peak, there is not much time to squander the ball.
Snapped!
Faced with Li Kang's approach.
He quickly passed the ball to Modric who came forward to support him!
In Li Kang's field of vision, the shadow of the little pony instantly appeared!
I also want the red and black soul, Nesta!
Forty meter area.
The moment Modric stopped the ball.
Leverkusen's No. 10 flew by like the wind.
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Isn't this tendency to steal too fierce?
There was no intense physical contact as expected.
Modric seemed to have sensed everything.
After experiencing the first round of confrontation, he mastered all the characteristics of Li Kang.
Lift your left foot lightly.
The football slipped under his crotch easily.
Li Kang shoveled a piece of air.
The foal phantom struggled in pain.
The red and black soul was furious.
"pretty!"
"What a master!"
"With a cool handicap, Modric pulled the winner back!"
Kroos appeared on the football line just in time.
No adjustment is required.
No need to look up to observe.
The kick is a long freehand pass.
A beautiful rainbow suddenly appeared over the Bayer Arena.
The football landed accurately on the left side of the thirty-meter area.
The most wonderful thing.
Leverkusen's defense was caught off guard.
Marcelo showed off his strength in a cool and unrestrained way, eating Borges raw with ease and marching straight into the goal!
All the Real Madrid midfielders and frontcourt players began to advance at high speed!
Van Dijk frantically directed his teammates' defensive positions, but it was too late.
Kramer and Jonathan Towers were out of position again.
The two double-teamed Marcelo, trying to block the opponent's ball route while running.
It's not that easy.
Marcelo quietly increased his speed, and with a small change of direction, he changed the passing angle.
Boom!
The football crashed into the penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo beats Van Dijk!
Leap high!
Throw your head and attack the goal!
This is a header close to MAX in football history.
"We have the ball!"
"Ouch! Leno's amazing attack!"
"Get rid of it!"
"Benzema's follow-up shot!"
"Pillar!"
"Bell!"
Cristiano Ronaldo's header is very powerful, and even Leno's amazing save cannot completely clear the ball!
The football stumbled onto the turf!
Benzema squeezed Bender away, fell to the ground and shot!
The doorframe shook violently.
The football hit the post!
The bullet landed in the restricted area again!
Bell carried Hilbert hard and hit a volley!
This time.
Finally there is.
0:1! ! !
"pretty!"
"The offense is so smooth!"
"The process is bumpy, but the result is happy!"
"Real Madrid, opener!"
"The total score is three goals ahead!"
"Although the tacit understanding and cooperation of the BBC front three are far inferior to Messi, Neymar, and Suarez, everyone's individual abilities have reached their peak!"
"The suspense of promotion is getting smaller and smaller!"
Studio.
Barrage flying.
-
[No, it feels like Modric kicked Li Mingdeng into Pogba! 】
-
[Pogba is a super midfielder with all the attributes in the game. Is it useful? It’s useless, but I still get teased when I encounter midfield masters like Xavi, Pirlo, and Modric. 】
-
[How to kick Li Mingdeng? If he plays without the ball, his teammates can't hold the ball; if he plays with the ball, his teammates still can't hold the ball. 】
-
[This calculation is so complicated. How many goals does Leverkusen need to score to advance? 】
-
[Sure enough, the two goals conceded in the first round were just Li Mingdeng who stunned Real Madrid. When Modric and Zidane were ready, Leverkusen was destined to be eliminated. 】
-
[Schalke 04 can score 3 goals against Leverkusen. Guess how many more Real Madrid can score tonight? 】
-
[If the game continues like this, the firepower of Red Bull Leipzig will eliminate Leverkusen from the German Cup. 】
Bell and his teammates briefly high-fived and hugged each other before returning to the center circle.
It all came so easily.
It doesn’t feel like playing in the Champions League.
It's more like being a spoiler in La Liga.
"Enjoy the game, this is the easiest time against Lee in my career."
"Shh, the lip reader is watching you!"
"What are you afraid of? The toilet paper news said that I don't know Spanish. One day when I go to the American professional league, I will have to speak Spanish with my teammates!"
It’s not just Bayer Arena.
The entire small town of Leverkusen, including Cologne Square twenty miles away.
At this time, the slogan of Real Madrid kept echoing.
“Hala Madrid!!!”
“Hala Madrid!!!”
“Hala Madrid!!!”
Leverkusen players lowered their heads.
Bender loudly encouraged his teammates. It was of no use.
Li Kang shook his head, trying to get rid of all negative emotions.
He picked up the football from the net and ran back to the center circle.
The details of the encounter with Modric are constantly replayed from God's perspective.
He was beaten into Pogba, Walcott and Akinfenwa.
far away.
Modric looked at Leverkusen's No. 10 figure in the distance.
There was a hint of regret in his expression.
Courtside.
Old Man Top sat slumped on the coaching bench.
His whole body was shaking.
He couldn't think of any solution.
All the arrangements before the game disappeared in the face of Real Madrid's strong individual players' abilities.
Dino picked up a pen and frantically recorded the entire offensive process of Real Madrid on the tactical board.
The other side.
Bertoni celebrated wildly.
He tentatively suggested: "Can we go to James? This game won't be a big problem."
Zidane clapped softly, smiled and shook his head.
"If James plays, we will lose."
The game resumes.
Leverkusen's ball was quickly stolen by Casemiro, who was pressing forward!
Real Madrid did not speed up the fast break this time.
Instead, he steadily controlled the rhythm in the middle.
Li Kang started running back and forth like crazy
But the passing ability of Modric and Kroos is too good.
The two fully understood Li Kang's defensive characteristics in the first round and were able to resolve the opponent's pressure with ease.
Not to mention looking like Nesta.
Even if Maldini, Cannavaro, Baresi and other super defensive masters are possessed, you, Li Kang, are only one person.
No matter how fast it is, it is not as fast as the ball.
With Marcelo and Carvajal moving forward.
Real Madrid has more ball outlets on both wings of the center.
The weight of the ball gradually shifted to the two wings.
It is simply impossible for Li Kang to stalk across the entire width of the court in a short period of time.
What about teammates?
The cross-pressing net formed by teammates made it impossible to touch the ball.
The overall strength gap is too big.
Real Madrid don't even need to activate any complex offensive tactics.
It's like playing a friendly match.
The 24th minute of the game.
Modric is like a matador holding a sharp blade and a red cloth.
Facing the menacing Li Kang.
The Real Madrid midfielder has mastered the timeline.
Gently lift the ball with the outer instep.
Leverkusen's No. 10 missed again.
Spacing and timing.
It cannot be compensated by improving all attributes.
Li Kang in front of him, in Modric's eyes.
There is no difference with Pogba, Walcott and Afenkinwa.
Cross, who stepped forward with support, took off in the air and sent a low and long pass.
"Precision guidance!"
"In this case, he can also catch the holes in Leverkusen's defense!"
"pretty!"
"Cavajal!"
"Not offside!"
Van Dijk wants to quit.
It's a pity that at this period, his awareness and prediction ability cannot keep up with Carvajal, who was at the peak of his career.
The latter made a horizontal turn and tricked Leverkusen's two central defenders!
Then an extremely terrifying speed broke out.
Rush to the landing point, lead the ball and explode!
Leno strikes!
Kankan walked out of the front line of the penalty area.
Then he saw a black shadow passing over his head lightly!
Turned his head.
The net was raised again.
0:2! ! !
"too easy!"
"Cavajal knows Leno's characteristics very well!"
"Excellent lob shot to score!"
"When did he reach the forward position? Zidane gave the players too much freedom in this game!"
"No celebration!"
"We saw Carvajal raise his palms, no celebration!"
Carvajal's first-team career started at Bayer Leverkusen.
He did not rush to celebrate, but raised his palms high and silently walked back to the center circle.
VIP box stands.
The assistant smiled bitterly: "Boss, if we hadn't sold our players over the years, maybe we would have done so long ago."
Voller lit a cigar: "The situation is different. How many goals do we have to score before we advance?"
The little assistant had a dark look on his face: "Five balls!"
On the green field.
Modric pulled Li Kang up.
He wanted to say something, but in the end he shook his head.
Individual ability is too insignificant in Europe's top technical and tactical competition.
Especially a midfielder.
After being restricted, he couldn't even control the ball.
How to play an offensive and defensive game.
You don't even have a chance to break the situation.
The 32nd minute of the game.
Son Heung-min received a through ball from Lee Kang.
Boom!
A bald man shoveled the ball out of bounds!
Sun Xingmin failed to stop for a moment, and Pepe fell to the ground in "pain"!
"Yellow card!"
"No big problem."
"Pepe is no longer the warrior monk of the past, but a holy monk. He did not cause chaos and let the referee decide the result!"
"To add insult to injury."
"I couldn't open the offensive end, and I got a yellow card for making too many moves."
The 36th minute of the game.
Yonatan Tower was in the rib area and brought down Kroos on his hands and knees.
Ronaldo surprisingly did not stand in front of the foul spot.
Bell's three-step approach!
He blasted out an extremely powerful cloud-penetrating arrow!
Pry open Leverkusen's door again!
0:3! ! !
Bayer Arena was deathly silent.
Many Leverkusen fans began to leave early.
Real Madrid fans started celebrating in advance.
Fireworks and salutes fired!
Colorful confetti is flying in the sky over North Rhine.
There is no Istanbul.
The second half was still a bloodbath!
"I doubt this Real Madrid will lose in 2016!"
"Losing two games at most!"
"Their dominance in European competition is just like AC Milan and Bayern Munich back then."
"Simple, efficient, and does not rely on any one core!"
“We won’t need to drastically modify our tactics just because of someone’s absence!”
"No weakness!"
The 70th minute of the game.
Li Kang received a long pass from Van Dijk in the frontcourt.
The Dutch centre-back figured it out.
There is no way to pass the ball in the middle transition, it is better to find the core with big feet!
It's a pity that the moment he released the ball.
Modric has already completed the backcourt defense.
He will not allow the incident of "one horse against a thousand" in the first round to happen again.
Li Kang began to speed up.
The shadows on the brain spread to the extreme.
In the field of vision, the shadows of the pony and Figo appeared at the same time.
In the eyes of everyone present.
His speed and accuracy on the ball were through the roof.
Useless.
There is no movement and timely support from teammates.
He eventually fell to the top of Real Madrid's penalty area.
Pepe, Ramos, Casemiro and Carvajal breathed a sigh of relief.
"No foul!"
"At the last moment, Li Kang almost copied Messi's miracle of beating five people in a row!"
"It's a pity that Real Madrid's defensive line spacing maintains a sense of depth!"
"Modric's tackle was clean!"
"Real Madrid's counterattack!"
finally.
Beep! Beep beep~
The referee blew the whistle to end the game.
The LED scoreboard in mid-air showed the tragic result of 0:5.
Real Madrid eliminated Leverkusen with a total score of 9:2 and advanced to the Champions League final!
Old Man Top was like a defeated rooster, sitting on the ground in disgrace, clutching a handful of grass clippings tightly in his hand.
Dino lowered his head, still trying to record the details of Real Madrid's offense and defense.
The draft paper gradually became wet with rain.
The ups and downs along the way, the hardships along the way
