Chapter 304 The Forgotten Harland
Jesus' goal was a fantastic start for Manchester City.
Under the urging of the referee, the Manchester City players reluctantly returned to the pitch and slowly walked towards their own half.
The Real Madrid players looked gloomy at Manchester City.
No team wants to see someone celebrate so wildly in front of them.
Along the way, Jesus still couldn't restrain his inner ecstasy, and kept waving at the fans in the stands.
The fans of the Manchester City team were also extremely excited. This kind of dream start was something they could not even imagine before the game.
Re-tee.
A depressed Benzema kicked the ball back to De Bruyne.
After De Bruyne took the ball, he did not continue the opening tactic, but continued to pass the ball back and handed it to Casemiro.
The Manchester City team, which had just scored a goal, was full of fighting spirit. Two forwards and two attacking midfielders, like tigers out of the gate, rushed towards Real Madrid's half.
Manchester City's formation is pressing up as a whole, maintaining the distance between the four fronts.
Real Madrid became calmer thanks to Carlo Ancelotti's command.
Facing the rushing Manchester City team, Real Madrid's players continued to pass the ball back and handed it to central defender Ramos.
Jesus, who had just scored the first goal of the final, rushed past Casemiro and chased the football to Ramos.
Li Mingyu, who was sitting in the midfielder position, did not cross the center line. Looking at the somewhat scattered formation in the frontcourt, Li Mingyu frowned slightly.
The Manchester City players were a little over excited.
After Ramos took the ball, he did not pass the ball forward, but continued backwards and handed the ball to the goalkeeper Courtois.
Jesus rushed towards Courtois without a trace of fatigue.
After several consecutive return passes, Manchester City's front line has been completely pulled apart.
Jesus rushed into Real Madrid's penalty area and was already isolated.
Sterling was outside the penalty area on the left, standing next to Real Madrid's full-backs.
Bernardo Silva and Gundogan were also scattered in the Real Madrid half.
Even the defensive midfielder Rodri has already crossed the center line, ready to go forward to meet him.
But Li Mingyu's uneasiness was growing.
Because Manchester City's frontcourt players have completely become alone.
This is also the evil result after Guardiola moved Li Mingyu's position back.
Li Mingyu, who sits in the middle and backcourt, is not so convenient to command the frontcourt players, whether in offense or defense.
In addition to scoring at the beginning, the mentality of many Manchester City players has changed a lot.
Taking advantage of the victory to pursue, this should be the current thinking of the Manchester City players.
Although Real Madrid's front was pressed very far back, the distance between the three fronts was maintained very well.
Courtois looked at the rushing Jesus, without any panic, with a light sweep of his right foot, he swept the ball towards Marcelo on the wing.
In the past two seasons, Marcelo's decline is obvious, but in this critical game, Ancelotti still believes in the Brazilian left back.
After receiving the ball, Marcelo began to dribble forward along the wing.
Jesus wanted to continue chasing, but the continuous running slowed his pace.
However, Bernardo Silva rushed over quickly, ready to block the football at Marcelo's feet.
Marcelo pushed the ball towards the middle, and he continued to rush forward along the sidewalk.
Casemiro in the middle received the ball and pushed forward, a beautiful two to one, so that Bernardo Silva could only chase Marcelo's pace behind.
Marcelo's dribbling not only resolved the siege of Manchester City's frontcourt, but also attracted the attention of Manchester City's midfield and backcourt to the left.
After all, Harland is also on this side.
With Marcelo in the front and Harland in the back, Li Mingyu, as the last line of defense on the back line, has a feeling of difficulty.
Li Mingyu couldn't let Marcelo continue to dribble forward, so he could only abandon Harland and rush towards Marcelo.
When Marcelo saw Li Mingyu rushing towards him, his eyes lit up, and he swung his left foot, and made a move to thrust Harland in front of him.
Li Mingyu didn't think too much, and stretched out his legs to intercept.
But the moment he stretched his legs, Li Mingyu knew he had been fooled.
The moment Marcelo's left foot fell, his ankle turned and the through ball turned into a cross pass.
The football came to De Bruyne's feet in the half.
After De Bruyne received the ball, he dribbled the ball forward quickly, and the midfielder Rodri rushed over from the side. De Bruyne stepped on the ball in a fancy way, and he couldn't find the north.
Li Mingyu quickly defended from the side to the center.
But De Bruyne has already crossed the defensive line of the midfielder and faced Manchester City's defensive line.
As we all know, the level of Manchester City's defense is at best the best in the Premier League.
It's not enough to put it in European football.
Harland cuts in without the ball along the penalty area line, but now, no one pays attention to him, and everyone's eyes are attracted to De Bruyne.
But only Li Mingyu knew that Harland, who was cutting in, was the one who needed the most attention.
"Look at Harland, watch Harland!"
Li Mingyu yelled at the players in the back line while rushing towards De Bruyne.
But the noise on site was too loud.
Just now he thought that this kind of cheering was a home field advantage, but now, he wished that all the people in the stands would shut up.
Li Mingyu's shout was only heard by De Bruyne, who was three meters away from him.
A smile appeared on the corner of De Bruyne's mouth.
As expected of Li Mingyu, he could see my intention at a glance.
About 30 meters in front of the penalty area, De Bruyne flicked the ball to the left, seemingly intending to take a long shot from outside the penalty area.
Laporte, who came up to defend, tightened his nerves, his eyes were fixed on the football, and he planned to rush over by himself at the moment De Bruyne kicked his feet, sacrificing himself to block the eye.
However, De Bruyne took advantage of this light swipe of the ball to shift the center of gravity of other Manchester City defensive players, and there was a small gap in the left rib.
Wingback Kyle Walker has been marking Harland, and because of the previous pass, he was impressed by Harland.
Although his attention was also attracted by De Bruyne who was "ready to shoot", his hands were always on Harland beside him.
Suddenly, Kyle Walker felt that the hand he put on Harland was empty. In desperation, he clenched his right hand, but he couldn't grab anything.
broken!
