Chapter 235 Champions League quarterfinals: vs Bayern (Part 2)
At this time, Real Madrid had already started the attack, with Ronaldo and Bale flying together, and Benzema following behind them as a supporting role. This combination made Bayern's head coach even more excited. The entanglement between Bayern and Real Madrid has been repeated in the Champions League. After all, Bayern has not defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League since 2012.
After all, Bayern's main player, Lewandowski, was unable to play. He was injured in the previous game and could not attend this game. Now he can only sit in the audience and watch his teammates play.
As soon as Ronaldo and Bale of Real Madrid passed the midfield line, they were immediately targeted, but Ronaldo and Bale were not holding the ball. Modric, as a midfield master, did not run with the ball for long. He knew that if Bayern's defense wanted to break through with the ball, now was not the time.
It would be best for Bayern to reduce all dribbling and breakthroughs in their half, otherwise it would be a real problem if they lost the ball.
Real Madrid was obviously testing, even letting Ronaldo and Bale test Bayern's defense. Of course, Bayern, who had been controlling the game, didn't give them any chances. After seeing the Bayern players rushing over, they gave the ball to Benzema who was waiting in the midfield without any hesitation.
Benzema didn't wait and quickly transferred the ball with a header. This shocked Bayern's defensive players. They didn't expect Real Madrid to play a quick pass and completely ignore Bayern's control of the game. This quick attack really made Bayern's entire defense fail.
Benzema on this side did not hesitate, he headed the ball out, and then a beautiful arc ball landed on the edge of the penalty area. All the Bayern players turned around and wanted to return to defense, but when they saw Bale was next to the landing point, the Bayern players immediately began to accelerate.
But even if he accelerated, what would that do? Neuer had already jumped out, and he didn't react at first, so he just barely pushed the ball out.
Fortunately, the ball flew out of the field. Bale just looked back and was not discouraged. He turned around and quickly returned to his home with Benzema who had caught up.
Real Madrid's speed of returning to defense was so fast that even Bayern's Hummels frowned in surprise. Abnormal, too abnormal, Real Madrid must be planning something.
But even if Hummels thought so, it was impossible to inform the whole team now. He could only make a gesture to the forwards Muller and Wagner, but Muller had already started to rush and didn't see it at all.
Real Madrid's defense speed was much faster than before. Muller and Wagner had just crossed the half court when the defenders started to block them. But this time they didn't make a detour like Real Madrid did, but went straight up.
In fact, Kroos is excited about the head-on confrontation, because Real Madrid is not afraid of the opponent playing against them now, but they are afraid that Bayern will also play high-altitude passing and not confront them head-on!
The reason why Real Madrid is so confident is of course because Zidane did not pin the outcome on the first half. Instead, he said in today's pre-match mobilization: "In the first half, just play fast breaks, the faster the better, so as to leave time for Bayern to attack."
Give Bayern time to attack. If Bayern's head coach knew this, he would probably be gritting his teeth. But Zidane's tactics are calculated based on Bayern's attack. Unless Bayern also plays a defensive counterattack, Zidane's strategy is completely unmatched.
Bayern's offensive momentum was smooth, but once they reached the midfield line, several threatening offensive interceptions by Real Madrid caused Bayern's ball to begin to meander through the midfield.
The interception organized by Kroos and Modric was quite difficult to break through, but if they really had to physically fight against Bayern's offensive players, they would only try their best, but not their full strength. So after blocking two roundabout attacks, Bayern sent a high ball.
This ball was just a lob that Muller made when he rushed in front of Modric, and it flew directly over Modric and behind him. Modric's face turned pale. How could he bully others like this? Muller was bullying Modric in front of him because of his height!
Real Madrid's diehard fans in the stands immediately erupted in boos, but the Allianz Arena is Bayern's home ground, and Bayern's fans immediately booed back several times louder!
The fans outside the stadium were not afraid of each other, and the game inside the stadium began to rely on each other's ability. Wagner immediately started to rush forward to receive the ball, but just as he was about to jump, a person rushed in front of him at a high speed, and jumped up suddenly as if casting a shadow over him.
Wagner also jumped up at this time, but this jump turned into trouble, because he found that although he was about the same height as the other person, the boy in front of him could really jump!
Wagner, who is 194cm tall, couldn't beat Eggsy, who is only 190cm tall! When he was lifted up, he and Eggsy collided chest to chest in the air.
Originally Wagner thought that with his physical fitness he would definitely be stronger than Eggsy, a slender guy, but he didn't expect that after such a collision in the air, it was him who hit Eggsy, and as a result, he was knocked to the point of losing his balance and falling down.
ah? ? ? ? ?
Wagner didn't expect that Eggsy headed the ball out without any hesitation, but the ball was intercepted directly, and the person who passed it back was Modric!
Now Real Madrid fans got excited and started cheering immediately!
It is a fact recognized by the whole world that Eggsy is Modric's apprentice. Muller had just bullied Modric for his height, but was thrown back by a high jump header by Modric's apprentice Eggsy, who is 190cm tall. This revenge for his master is fun to watch!
Modric jumped up and caught the ball, and there was a burst of impact when he landed, which forced Bayern to start an emergency defense, but this also meant that Bayern's attack was completely stillborn this time.
As soon as they touched the back line, they were hit by a defensive counterattack from Real Madrid, and then they quickly returned to defense to prevent Real Madrid's defensive counterattack from succeeding. However, this style of play has already made Bayern's players discover problems from the beginning, and their physical strength will be quickly consumed. By then...
Zidane, this old coin!
However, just knowing Zidane's conspiracy is useless, because now Bayern has also seen it and started to use Eggsy as a lagging midfielder to completely strengthen their Real Madrid's defense!
This kind of reinforcement is not an ordinary reinforcement, it is basically a high-altitude defense wall built on top of their defense line!
hiss--
How can they play like this? Real Madrid has set up an air defense shield for their half! If Bayern really gives in, they will no longer be the German tank!
However, what worries Bayern most is Real Madrid's attack, because Modric is running with the ball, Benzema, Ronaldo and Bale have now broken into their defense line!
"Who will Modric pass the ball to?" The host said excitedly, "Real Madrid played really smoothly this time. Modric, Modric, pass the ball quickly--"
The ball fell accurately to Ronaldo in the middle. The two defensive players in front of him knew that something was wrong, but they had just been led away by Benzema and Bale's breakthroughs, so it was a bit difficult for them to defend reasonably now!
Ronaldo didn't hesitate at all, he just grabbed the opportunity and kicked it out!
"Oh! What a pity!"
The cheers that had originally started in the stadium suddenly stopped, and everyone was stunned. Ronaldo even hugged his head speechlessly, looking at the goal frame that had just been hit by his ball, which was still shaking.
And under the goal frame was Neuer. He looked at the door frame and for some reason he was secretly glad that he had hit the door frame. Although he could withstand such heavy artillery fire as a goalkeeper, it would more or less make his hands uncomfortable even with gloves on.
However, Real Madrid did not give up. Benzema ran towards the ball that bounced off the goal frame and wanted to make a follow-up shot, but Bayern was not a pushover. Their defender Hummels rushed out directly. Now it depended on who of the two was faster.
The speed of Real Madrid's forwards is really amazing. Benzema quickly made a follow-up shot and the ball was heading straight for the goal. Hummels who was rushing over at this time knew that he was a step slow, so he dived out directly.
The next second Hummels lay on the court, holding his stomach, and all the fans couldn't help but step back, and then they all reached out to rub their stomachs.
That was definitely not a light blow, and the linesman quickly stopped the game. Bayern's team doctor also came up to check, because Hummels hit the ball himself, so of course there would be no judgment on Benzema.
However, when the Bayern team doctor lifted up Hummels' jersey, everyone gasped when they saw the bruises on his abdomen. He then took out a spray and sprayed it on him, then pressed it with his hands to see if his internal organs were injured.
Fortunately, the force of the shot was strong enough to not cause any internal injuries to Hummels, so the game had to continue.
But this time it was Bayern's turn to attack. Real Madrid quickly returned to defense, and the tight back line looked very difficult to break through. However, the first half was almost over with 15 minutes left, and they couldn't let the opportunity go to waste.
So Bayern's attack this time was much more fierce than before. Gwana and Muller made feints almost constantly, but they were not given many opportunities because it was not easy for Modric and Kroos to pass in the midfield.
The obstruction of Bayern's forwards did not hinder the performance of their midfielder Robben at all. Robben rushed forward immediately after receiving the pass from Gwana. However, when he just reached the edge of the penalty area with the ball, Eggsy had already blocked him.
