Chapter 474 Advantages

During another Real Madrid attack, Beckham got the ball and passed it to Zidane, who then passed it directly to Gravesen on the left.

The back and forth passing of the three players gave Gravesen space to pass the ball. With the space, Gravesen passed the ball to the Arsenal penalty area without hesitation.

At this time, Wang Li was being closely guarded by many Arsenal players.

There were four defensive players in the Arsenal penalty area. Wang Li alone attracted the attention of three of them, while Ronaldo was only surrounded by a young Arsenal player.

This differential treatment also shows how much Arsenal values ​​Wang Li.

After these few attacks, Wang Li has become very familiar with this kind of ball, and his teammates and cooperation are becoming more and more proficient. Seeing where the ball will land, he ran to that side. At the same time, the three defensive players next to him followed him closely, and Campbell even pulled his clothes secretly.

This little action was very secretive and obviously escaped the eyes of the referee. Wang Li curled his lips and immediately accelerated to get rid of Campbell. If Campbell did not let go and his jersey was pulled open, it would be a foul in the penalty area and the referee would most likely blow the whistle for a penalty kick.

However, Campbell was very experienced. When he saw Wang Li accelerate, he immediately let go of his hand. He didn't want to give Real Madrid a penalty kick, which would almost be equivalent to a goal.

It happened in a flash, and the football fell to the ground in just a short moment.

The acceleration just now allowed Wang Li to pass the landing point of the ball, which made Arsenal's defensive players relax a little. However, they did not see the smirk on Wang Li's mouth, which made them a little careless.

Gravesen's pass was not as accurate as Beckham's, and the ball landed behind Wang Li. However, with Wang Li's rush, the ball landed between him and the goal. It is almost impossible for ordinary players to stop their bodies instantly and turn around to grab the ball after accelerating. However, this kind of thing that violates the laws of physics is normal for Wang Li.

Wang Li's accelerated running was just a cover. He instantly took a turn using the Lingbo Weibu step. This step, which was derived from the Bagua formation, was almost entirely used for dodging, and the acceleration was just a starting move.

So, he took strange steps, stopped easily and turned around, and under the surprised gaze of the three Arsenal players behind him, he raised his right leg, and at this moment, the football happened to fall to the ground and bounced up.

“Boom!”

With a sound, the football flew directly to the Arsenal goal like a cannonball. The shot was so strange that Lehmann had almost no reaction. Unfortunately, strange goals often mean great difficulty. Wang Li's move just now was obviously not easy, and the football rubbed the post and flew out of the bottom line.

But the three Arsenal defenders didn't even look back. They all looked at Wang Li in surprise.

The action just now was really weird. He sprinted forward and then stopped suddenly, turning around and shooting. Not to mention the accuracy involved, just the acceleration and stopping action was very difficult.

"Arsenal players are shocked by Alan!!!"

The Madrid Sports TV station immediately captured this scene, and the commentator excitedly explained that this explanation made Real Madrid supporters very proud.

Although the ball did not go in, the strength shown by Wang Li in this shot still made the fans in the stadium quite excited. Now every time the fans come to the Bernabeu to watch a game, they hope to see Wang Li play, because this way there will be many eye-catching football performances in the game.

After several games, Wang Li's wonderful performance has conquered the hearts of many fans. After completing this high-quality and difficult shot, Wang Li turned his head and looked at his teammates. After these attacks, although Real Madrid did not score, the players knew how to play, which boosted the team's momentum.

"Just play like this, Luis, pay attention to your positioning and look for opportunities to make a follow-up shot!" Wang Li patted Ronaldo on the shoulder and instructed.

Ronaldo wiped the sweat from his head and said excitedly: "Don't worry, haha, the next goal will definitely be mine."

Ronaldo has reason to be happy. Although Wang Li came to Real Madrid and took away a main position for him, which reduced his chances of playing, Ronaldo has long passed his peak and is now just a nobody in Real Madrid.

As the days passed, he knew that his career was coming to an end, but at this time, Wang Li came. Not only did Real Madrid and he himself have the opportunity to win more championships, but when the two cooperated on the court, Ronaldo found that his chances of scoring goals increased greatly.

Wang Li's number of shots is almost the same as the total number of other players on the team, and his shots are very accurate. He is likely to score a goal just by looking for an opportunity to make a supplementary shot in the penalty area. This method of shooting that does not consume physical energy and is easy to score is perfect for Ronaldo.

Now, his physical strength and condition are no longer what they used to be, but his rich experience, super shooter's sense of smell and instant explosive power have not diminished! !

"Alan, he received the ball again!! Shoot!!! Unfortunately, after receiving the ball on the right side of the penalty area, Alan turned and shot, but it was blocked by an Arsenal player and went out of bounds."

"Another header from Alan, beautiful goal!! Lehmann played very well, he saved the ball again, it was a pity that Ronaldo didn't keep up. But apart from Alan, the best performance in this game was probably Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann, he has no idea how many balls he has saved"

"Beckham made a cross and Allen took the ball and shot! My God, Allen completed a back-heel shot, but unfortunately there were too many people in the Arsenal penalty area. The angle of the ball was good, but it still couldn't get past Campbell's feet."

In the next ten minutes, relying on Wang Li's personal ability and Real Madrid's midfielder's constant long passes into the penalty area, Real Madrid used this English football style of play to put great pressure on Arsenal. Almost every time Wang Li received the ball, it can be imagined that Arsenal's goal would be in crisis.

However, it seems that God is not on Real Madrid's side today.

Wang Li played for a long time, using all kinds of clever and unimaginable shooting methods, but the ball was blocked again and again, and he felt a little puzzled.

Seeing that the game time was almost up to the extra time, Wang Li became a little anxious.

If the team could tie the score in the first half, the pressure would obviously be much less. However, if they continue playing like this, they may be counterattacked by Arsenal in their anxiety. Now that the team has such a big advantage, it is not a good thing to have the upper hand but not the ball.

Wang Li felt that the current situation was entirely his own problem. After all, his teammates gave him full support. For this reason, even Carlo's pre-match tactics were modified completely. It can be said that if they lose this game, it will be entirely due to Wang Li's personal condition.

So, without much chance of shooting, this time after receiving the ball in the penalty area, he retreated a little and dribbled the ball near the penalty area line.

He was still confident in his dribbling. This backward dribbling made the Arsenal defenders extremely uncomfortable, which made them a little late to catch up. Taking advantage of this narrow space, Wang Li chose to pass the ball.

It was a very clever lob pass. At the moment of passing the ball, Wang Li had no confidence that Ronaldo could receive the ball, but often the thinking in the game only takes a moment, and it is too late to regret after passing the ball.

But at the moment he shot, Ronaldo started!!

The super striker of the 2002 World Cup completed an excellent technical shot. After he shook off the defender, the football fell right behind Ronaldo. Ronaldo stepped on his heel while running, and when the ball jumped in front of him, he poked it with his right foot, and the ball flew directly into the bottom corner of the Arsenal goal.

"gooooooooooooooooal!!! Ronaldo!!!"

"Ronaldo completed a clever shot, his action was so gorgeous, a very clever shot!!! Alan's pass was also very accurate. From here we can see that Alan has completely integrated into Real Madrid. The cooperation between them is like it was planned before the game!!!"

At this time, Wang Li raised his head and looked at Ronaldo in disbelief.

Based on Ronaldo's actions and awareness just now, Wang Li felt that he couldn't do better than him.

"Beautiful!! Louise!!"

Seeing such a wonderful shot, Wang Li could not help but step forward and hug Ronaldo. He was very impressed with the shot because he knew that he was only playing football with his inner strength, and he did not have this kind of awareness and cleverness.

"Oh! Alan, thank you for the pass, it was awesome!! It reminded me of Assis' pass in 2002, it felt so great!!"

Assis is Ronaldinho. In the 2002 World Cup, the cooperation between Ronaldo and Ronaldinho was simply perfect. In the World Cup final between Brazil and Germany, Ronaldinho made at least five wonderful passes to Ronaldo.

Watching Ronaldo and his teammates celebrating, Wang Li felt like he seemed to have made a mistake.

He trusted his own abilities too much and ignored the abilities of his teammates.

Think about these teammates in Real Madrid, each of them has a wonderful performance, and they are all very strong. Except for the lack of internal support, they are not inferior to him in almost every aspect.

In his recent comeback games, he seldom trusted his teammates. After coming to Real Madrid, although his number of goals increased, he was still too independent on the court. Many times, even when his teammates had good opportunities, he still chose to shoot himself.

On reflection, this was indeed a mistake.

Although his abilities have been recognized by the entire team and all the fans, he has not done well in this regard. If he can strengthen his cooperation with his teammates, the team's performance will definitely be better.

Especially in this game, he took the initiative to advance and scored with a header. This tactic is indeed domineering, but at the same time, all the opportunities were left to him and his teammates had no chance to perform. How do we know that if Real Madrid attacks normally, their performance will be worse than it is now?

This thought made Wang Li look a little depressed even when he returned to the locker room.

"Alan, what's wrong?"

Carlo was explaining the tactics for the second half, but this explanation was mostly about the team's response strategy, and he did not comment on the first half of the game. At this time, seeing that Wang Li was a little distracted, Beckham immediately patted him on the shoulder and asked.

Wang Li was startled, and after reacting, he immediately waved his hands and said, "I'm thinking about something."

Hearing his tone, Beckham frowned and wanted to ask, but Wang Li shook his head at him. His thoughts and psychological problems could not be solved now. The most urgent task was to play the current game well.

The reason why Carlo did not explain the tactics was because he felt that the team's performance in the first half was okay. Although Wang Li changed his tactics without authorization, for Carlo, coaching results were the key. He didn't have much prestige, especially when facing Wang Li, so he should consider these things after he has secured his position as Real Madrid head coach.

The team performed well in the first half, especially Wang Li's header, which was too threatening to Arsenal. Carlo was very excited watching it off the court. Westerners have some heroic plots. Wang Li challenged half of Arsenal's backcourt alone. This performance was really exciting.

"If Arsenal launch a massive counterattack, then we will just go all out and fight them head-on. Don't be too afraid of them, they are no match for us in terms of offense!!"

Carlo kept emphasizing this point.

He was not worried about Arsenal continuing to defend. With Wang Li as a breakthrough point, if they continued to defend, Real Madrid would definitely have a chance to score in the second half. What worried him was Arsenal's sudden attack.

If Wenger cannot bear this kind of "humiliation" and asks the team to change tactics and play against Real Madrid, then the players may not be able to adapt to the change for a while and become passive for a while, which will not be worth the loss.

This time, Carlo guessed right.

In the visiting team's locker room at the Bernabeu, Wenger was indeed deploying similar tactics.

The situation in the first half of the game made Wenger very worried. Real Madrid was now relying on Wang Li's personal skills to purely "bully" Arsenal. Although the score was 2:3, 2:3, Arsenal was equivalent to winning, but Wenger was still a little anxious.

"What if Real Madrid scores two more goals?"

Looking at the situation in the first half, it is indeed very likely. The score of 2:4 means Arsenal has lost. They need to get a two-goal advantage at home to make a comeback, which is not easy.

"We must defend the opening. If they score again, we will continue to attack them. They will not be able to react to our sudden attack. At that time, we will have another chance to score."

Similarly, Wenger was also telling the players about the formation change strategy. Often such temporary formation changes on the field can produce good results, and the role of the head coach is most prominent at this time.

Wenger vs. Carlo, Wenger won the first half, but what about the second half?

Nobody knows.

During the 15-minute break, many fans in the stands were also thinking about this.

In the first half, it was clear that Arsenal had a tactical victory at the start, which was largely due to their head coach Wenger, so Carlo failed. Although the two teams were tied, Real Madrid would definitely win if the situation continued, the only difference was the goal difference.

So, how Arsenal will play in the second half is a question that many people are thinking about.

"Arsenal will definitely change their formation!!"

This is the mainstream view among the public, and even many professional commentators on TV stations, commentators on Spanish football, and most professionals in the football world think so.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Arsenal still chose to defend, a very defensive defense.

Even the only striker Van Persie returned to the backcourt. They chose the 6|4|0 tactics, or it could be said to be the 10|0 tactics. The reason why Wenger played like this was to delay the game. If this could drag it to the last minute of the game, that would be the best result. Otherwise, as long as Real Madrid scored a goal, Arsenal would suddenly launch an attack. This was Wenger's tactic.

Wenger is right.

The team played well in the first half, so Carlo certainly would not change the formation easily. During the halftime break, he also emphasized that Wang Li should be at the front to look for shooting opportunities.

Arsenal chose to defend. Although this team is not particularly good at defense, Arsenal is still a top team in the Premier League. After adopting full-strength defense, their "turtle shell" is obviously more solid.

This meant that Real Madrid had no good way to score for a while, and the players could only pin their hopes on Wang Li because this was the simplest way.

After the first half of the game, they have discovered that this Premier League long pass and lob style of play is indeed good. At least it does not require so much tension, and it is simple and practical.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there is a "shooting machine" like Wang Li.

As a result, the situation of the game seemed to return to that of the first half, and the fans in the stands admired Wang Li's wonderful performance in the opponent's penalty area again and again.

Every brilliant performance was accompanied by cheers from the fans, praise from the media and cold sweats from Arsenal, but this kind of performance has yet to result in any goals. The most important thing is that Arsenal's 'turtle shell' is too hard.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal's formation could perhaps be called 550. After 20 minutes of the second half, the formation became 640. After a few minutes, it even became 730. In short, there were more and more Arsenal players in the penalty area, and Wang Li was under increasing pressure.

However, his opportunities increased accordingly, because Real Madrid's outside players were completely free of pressure. With so many Real Madrid players facing the defense of three Arsenal players, it was easy for them to pass the ball past them. Moreover, the team also had Beckham, a master passer.

Arsenal's situation is getting worse.
