Chapter 236 Champions League quarterfinals: vs Bayern (Part 3)
Eggsy standing in front of Robben really excited many fans. You know, Robben was the midfielder of Real Madrid in 2007 and 2009, and Eggsy is the current midfielder of Real Madrid. No one would want to miss the sight of the old versus the new.
Moreover, Robben is a left-footed player. His dribbling and assist strength have always been strong, and his experience in dribbling and breaking through should not be underestimated. What's more, because he is left-handed, his attacking power on the right side is even stronger.
However, Robben also has an obvious weakness, that is, heading. Zidane certainly understood the strategy of his former colleague and specially put Eggsy, the best header player in the world, waiting for him.
When Robben saw Eggsy, of course he thought of the time when Eggsy pitched the ball against Gwana. He did not underestimate this new Real Madrid midfielder. In fact, Robben felt that being picked by Real Madrid at the age of 17 and playing in such important games repeatedly should not be underestimated.
In fact, this is true. Robben is very fast. The frequency and explosiveness of his legs and the acceleration can instantly create a gap between him and other defensive players. But now facing Eggsy, he used several feints and roundabout tactics in one breath, but Eggsy blocked them all!
Not only did he block it, Eggsy even managed to get in and almost steal the ball from Robben when he was dribbling the ball, which really scared Robben into a cold sweat. Seeing Eggsy's sticking strategy against him, he had no choice but to pass the ball again and plan to give it to his teammates.
He has wasted too much time on Eggsy. Time is a key factor in Bayern's offensive trend. They play a blitzkrieg, but if too much time is spent on breaking through, then this controlled breakthrough tactic will be useless.
So Robben's choice to pass the ball at this time was absolutely correct. Muller had already rushed up from behind. Seeing that Robben's breakthrough was blocked, the opponent planned to break through from the left and waited for Robben to pass the ball to him. However, Robben did pass the ball, but he had no idea that Eggsy in front of him was waiting for the pass!
Robben turned around and prepared to pass the ball to Muller, but Eggsy in front of him was already ready and rushed out, intercepting the ball halfway! !
It was obvious that Eggsy had seen that he was going to pass the ball, so he pretended not to pay attention to the left? Not to mention Muller who was intercepted, even Robben who passed the ball was dumbfounded. How could he play like this?
Eggsy intercepted the ball beautifully, but he did not break through rashly. He passed the ball directly to Kroos in front of him, and he followed obediently, but still did not leave his own defensive area.
To be honest, all of Real Madrid's defenders have the heart of a striker. This habit makes head coach Zidane more or less nervous, but now putting Eggsy at the back really makes him feel a lot more at ease.
Because of Eggsy's presence, the defenders behind did not dare to make too much noise. Eggsy was like a stabilizing force, holding Real Madrid's defense line firmly in place and eliminating Zidane's worries.
At this time, Eggsy did not forget to lead the back line forward when the whole team pressed forward, preparing for the cross from the bottom.
Kroos and Modric in front really felt very comfortable! Not to mention Ronaldo who was holding the ball for the second time. He now felt that this was the escort of the whole team, and this goal would definitely go in!
In fact, it was already the 33rd minute of the first half. If he wasted the ball Modric made for him again, Ronaldo felt that his mother would kneel down in anger and threaten to cut off his ball!
So this time Ronaldo did not take it too seriously, he used his own running position and his teammates' help to share the defense before he could start to attack. After Ronaldo's fake move, Neuer was shocked to see Ronaldo push the ball to the opposite direction with a smirk, but this time Neuer really didn't have another Hummels to block him.
"It's in! Real Madrid leads 1-0 away at Allianz Arena and now they're the first to score!"
The host's roar made many Real Madrid fans hold up Real Madrid's home jerseys and start celebrating wildly.
Ronaldo also ran over happily and hugged Modric, but after hugging Modric, Ronaldo also rushed back frantically and hugged Eggsy!
He did not forget that it was Eggsy who intercepted Muller's attack and passed the ball to him. Originally, all of them were very puzzled by Zidane's arrangement of putting Eggsy in the back, wondering why Eggsy, who was so capable, was put in the back?
As a result, Eggsy's performance really made them believe in Zidane, because Eggsy was really the most important part of Zidane's plan. The sharp knife in the spring tactics! It could cut off all of Bayern's attacks on the back line and then break through them one by one.
It has to be said that this division method is very good for Bayern's single offensive line and single striker, or double striker tactics. In addition, Eggsy's reaction was quite timely, which not only made Bayern's several attacks in the first half fruitless, but also wasted a lot of physical strength.
But is Bayern just giving up?
German chariots are never afraid!
In fact, Bayern's tactics today also had a hard target, which was different from Real Madrid's need to get the first attack, actively let Bayern attack, and even let them hit their own defense line to rebound. Bayern's hard target was to get a point in the first half, so that they could use all their energy and strength to resist Real Madrid's attack in the second half, and even start to pull the score.
result……
When Bayern’s head coach saw Real Madrid’s 1 point on the scoreboard, he almost had a heart attack!
But even if it was a heart attack, he had to think of what tactics Bayern could use now. Just when the head coach was thinking about it, their Bayern's Muller suddenly shouted after getting the ball!
The shout was in German, and no one in the Real Madrid team could understand it except Kroos. But that didn't stop him from running out first and shouting in Spanish: "They're going to raid!"
This one-point difference completely infuriated Germany. They even launched a frantic attack when Real Madrid was just about to return to defense. And this attack was Bayern's specialty: everyone pressed forward!
The joy of Real Madrid having just scored one point was immediately disrupted by this offensive momentum. Eggsy suddenly realized that he had left the defense area, and he quickly shouted, "Return to defense!"
After shouting, Eggsy started to run fast, but Bayern had already limited the speed by one step. Under such an impact, it was very difficult for Eggsy to catch up!
All Bayern players knew that this was an opportunity they had finally caught, so they began to attack madly. The speed was so fast that they used all their strength. Everyone was running wildly, which made almost the entire Real Madrid defense line feel the impact.
At such a speed, it is very difficult for Real Madrid players to catch up when they are one step behind, so Real Madrid now has a serious problem with cotton bolls. Their back line is now too pressed forward, resulting in the advantage of not being close to the penalty area and the goal, making their defense more difficult.
At this time, Eggsy, who was running wildly, felt that he could hear his own grunting and the sound of blood hitting the periosteum of his ears, but he was still running wildly, almost leaving an afterimage on the court with Ronaldo, Kroos and others!
But Bayern still had the advantage, and when Muller finally ran to the right side of the goal, he faced Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas directly. Navas could only be thankful that the other forwards of Bayern had not caught up completely, but he was not relaxed at this time when he faced Muller who was attacking the goal alone.
It should be: tit for tat.
Muller also learned his lesson this time. He also knew Navas's ability, so he also used a fake move. However, Navas's reaction speed, experience, and even mentality were more stable. He did not fall for it and actually started to save the ball in the direction of Muller's ball.
However, Muller's shot was so powerful that it hit Navas' finger directly. The ball failed to be completely ejected and barely brushed past Navas' finger before hitting the side of the net.
The entire Allianz Arena was in a frenzy, the score had become 1:1! The advantage that Real Madrid had just gained was really reversed by Bayern, and the biggest problem and mistake was that the defense was too strong, and Real Madrid immediately relaxed their vigilance after scoring.
Now when Eggsy stood in the penalty area and looked at the glaring 1:1 on the scoreboard, he felt really regretful. He blinked his eyes and suddenly felt a little bit at a loss.
It's all his fault.
Eggsy was a little bit at a loss. At this moment, Modric suddenly came over and grabbed Eggsy, dragged his little face to look at him, then looked at him and said: "Eggsy! Eggsy! The game is not over yet!"
At this time, Eggsy was slightly comforted by Modric. Modric was afraid that Eggsy would think it was his fault and be in a state of confusion, which would be a big trouble for Real Madrid.
"The game isn't over yet. Don't worry about whose fault it is. The key is how to win back this point!"
Modric's words woke Eggsy up completely. Although Modric taught him less and less during this period, he was always able to warn him at critical moments, making him realize instantly that the most urgent thing was that the game was not over yet and everything was possible!
Eggsy calmed himself down and immediately followed Modric to jog back to his position, ready to launch a counterattack.
