Chapter 278 I thought it was a stalemate
Manju became the fourth player to score in the UEFA Champions League final on behalf of two different teams after Vasovic, Ronaldo and Wang Yi.
He represented Bayern and Juventus in the Champions League final.
The Juventus team naturally celebrated wildly. After all, just after being scored by the opponent, they quickly equalized the score in a short period of time, which greatly improved the team's morale.
Next, Ronaldo also tried a barb but was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper Buffon.
Ramos brought down Alves and was given a yellow card. This was Real Madrid's first yellow card.
Carvajal tripped Mandzukic behind and also received a yellow card.
For the rest of the first half, it seemed that Juventus had the upper hand. They are now in high spirits and have repeatedly attacked Real Madrid's penalty area. At the end of the first half, they had 9 shots and 5 shots. Right.
On the reflective Real Madrid side, there was only 1 shot on target.
The comparison is too stark.
Zidane was very dissatisfied, he walked into the locker room.
Wait until all the players have entered the locker room.
He started talking.
"Just two things. This is the final, and it's a very difficult game for the opponents. They're running out of stamina. I can feel it. The most important thing is to be more aggressive in defense, more aggressive. Aggressiveness doesn't mean you have to take cards, you just need to make sure you are in position, everyone needs to be tighter and more aggressive, especially off the ball. We have to press them back when we play 433 When defending, Kroos, you need to be on the left, you need to be tighter, when you have the ball, look for a gap between the two lines, we have to be patient after we get the ball, transfer the ball to the wing as soon as possible, to Wang One, to Ronaldo, and next, Marcelo and Carvajal must be brought up, and the assists will be deeper. When we have the ball, they will retreat and defend, and Carvajal and Marcelo will participate in the offense. Inside. Modric also needs to press from time to time. As for Wang Yi, when the offense and defense switch, we have to break through their defense line. The way we've been training this week. We keep attacking and the goal will come, start from the side, pass the ball into the center and we can score, it's that simple, all we have to do is hit the side and bring it up. Come on tempo, we have two of the best wings in the world. Don't just play from the middle, move the ball from one side to the other. Defensively, come in, play like that.
It's going to be difficult, it's the final, calm down, we just need to score one more goal, you know? After finishing speaking, Zidane applauded.
The whole team stood up and applauded.
(An aside, this is what Zidane said in reality during the halftime break in the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League final. It comes from Real Madrid’s official documentary The Heart of the Twelve Crowns. It’s available on station b, just search it. From there It can be seen from the field that Zidane is definitely a master tactician, of course I changed a lot, after all, Isco is the starter in reality)
On the other side, in the Juventus locker room. (also true, from Chiellini's autobiography, adapted)
"There was nothing going on at half-time that would cause an uproar, there were no fights, we lost because we were exhausted, the Champions League final was too late for us, after the first half we were very tired, Mandzukic could barely walk, and so did Pjanic. When coach Allegri spoke, Mandzukic and Pjanic both had knee treatments and we were both out of breath and we told ourselves we It's going to come back, it was 1-1, who knows what's going to happen"
This is what Chiellini revealed in an interview a year later.
Indeed, Juventus is too tired, but it also has a direct impact on their team's veterans. Mandzukic, whose tactical status is very important, does not have a good substitute.
Allegri looked at Real Madrid's bench, how luxurious, Isco, Morata, Mahrez, these are all players who can't play.
Look at our side, Allegri can only burst into tears.
Lemina, Lichtsteiner, Marchisio, Cuadrado, Asamoah.
What should we do in the second half? Now these players are already like this and have no physical fitness.
And Allegri clearly knows how terrifying Real Madrid's physical fitness is.
There's really no way around this, it's the law of nature.
The second half of the game began.
In the second half, Real Madrid's offense was significantly strengthened.
Kroos gets a yellow card for a foul on Khedira.
Modric's left-footed volley from the front of the penalty area was obtained by Buffon.At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid immediately showed the aggressiveness that midfielder Zidane said, and actively pressed the attack. The two full-backs also pressed the attack.
Marcelo and Kroos also missed shots from the outside one after another.
In the second half, Juventus' physical fitness declined on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were pressed and beaten, and they were unable to attack.As a result, by 60 minutes, Juventus hadn't had a single shot in the second half.
Allegri knew that this would not work at all, so he was ready to replace Cuadrado, replaced Barzagli, and changed to a 4-back.
Add an offensive player.
However, the opportunity came quickly.
Benzema cut into the penalty area from the left and made a pass back. Kroos pushed with his left foot 15 meters in front of the goal and was destroyed by Sandro. The ball bounced to a position 27 meters away from the goal. At this time, Wang Yi was active in the middle. He Looking at the ball, he took a long shot from the run-up.
The ball rubbed against Khedira and flew into the lower left corner of the goal.
2 to 1, Wang Yi scored a goal in the overtake game.
When Wang Yi saw the referee's finger pointing to the middle circle, he rushed to the stands excitedly and slid and knelt down.
All Real Madrid players cheered for Wang Yi.
Teammates also rushed up.
Wang Yi has only one thought now.
"My third Champions League title is coming."
After celebrating.
In just 3 minutes, Ronaldo scored twice!
In this UEFA Champions League, Ronaldo scored a record 19 goals.And Wang Yi scored 15 goals.The two are in the same team, it is like meeting a god to kill a god, and meeting a Buddha to kill a Buddha.
Casemiro made a long pass from the center circle, Sandro made a header clearance and was blocked by Modric, Carvajal went straight from the right to Modric, Modric made a pass from the bottom line, and Ronaldo missed the goal At 3 meters, a small angle half volley advances to the far corner, 3 to 1.
This is also the 600th goal of Ronaldo's career
After Real Madrid celebrates.
Cuadrado replaced Barzagli, then tackled Ronaldo behind his back, and was shown a Chapter 1 yellow card.
Pjanic was booked for a foul on Kroos and was replaced by Marchisio.
"Their mentality is broken, we're going to win."
