Chapter 511 The last seven minutes

Author: Sanjingshou

De Bruyne held the ball and stood outside the penalty area.

Manchester City's penalty kick will be taken by him.

If there is anyone in the world who wants to break the goal guarded by Courtois the most, it is De Bruyne.

The two are both teammates of the Belgian national team, one is the core of the midfield and the other is the cornerstone of the defense.

But everyone knows what hatred and grudges there are between them.

The referee Orsato repeatedly emphasized that players on both sides must abide by the penalty kick rules. Before De Bruyne touches the ball, no one can take half a step into the penalty area.

After placing the ball, De Bruyne looked straight ahead with firm eyes.

drop!

After the whistle blows, run up and hit the goal!

After deceiving Courtois with a fake move, De Bruyne made a solid penalty shot.

Manchester City overtook Real Madrid 2:1 away from home.

After scoring the goal, Ding Ding rushed to the stands where the Manchester City fans were, beating his chest angrily and roaring loudly.

Only he himself knows how important this goal is to him.

Although there were only a few thousand Manchester City fans who came from afar, their passionate cheers hit the Real Madrid fans hard in the face.

There are 3 minutes left in the game. Counting injury time, there are still 6 or 7 minutes at most.

It is really difficult for Real Madrid to score a goal in just a few minutes.

Zidane immediately made a substitution, and Nacho replaced Modric.

This is another controversial substitution.

Modric was replaced because his physical fitness declined and he received a yellow card. This is understandable.

But replacing Nacho, who is also a defensive player, somewhat confused the fans.

And he's still a defender, do he have to play 5 defenders?

After Nacho came on the field, he conveyed Zidane's tactics with the fastest gestures.

Real Madrid kicks off and the game continues.

When Benzema passed the ball back, Real Madrid's lineup dispersed as quickly as possible.

Casemiro is positioned between the two central defenders, forming a three-centre-back system.

The two full-backs are positioned on either side of the center line.

Ramos stands in the midfield position.

Bale and Valverde are on the left and right.

Rossi cruised outside the penalty area.

Benzema is at the front.

The tactical intent of this formation couldn't be more obvious.

Real Madrid wants to pass the ball long!

The full-backs and wingers continued to rush to the sideline and then cross.

And try to pass the ball outside the penalty area to give Benzema and Rossi room to sprint.

Once Manchester City players position themselves defensively, the threat of crosses becomes very small.

The premise of Ramos' position is to let him attack the Manchester City penalty area.

In the 87th minute, Bell passed a flat and fast ball in the penalty area. Rossi headed the ball, but unfortunately it hit the net.

A minute later, Real Madrid continued to strengthen their attack on the wing, and Carvajal swept the ball to the goal.

This time, Benzema's shot in front of the goal was blocked by the defender's outstretched leg.

Guardiola saw his opponent's lone throw and immediately strengthened his defense, removed Mahrez and replaced him with Fernandinho.

Bell stood in the corner kick, preparing to take the corner kick.

Ramos and Varane both came to the penalty area, ready to fight for the top.

Manchester City retreated across the board, and the two full-backs even stood on both sides of the posts to help the goalkeeper defend together.

The die-hard Real Madrid fans behind the goal were so nervous that they dug their fingernails into their palms.

boom!

The ball drew an arc and then spun towards the goal.

This kind of goalkeeper is the most difficult to defend, whether it is a goalkeeper or not.

Among the crowd, the Real Madrid captain first ran in reverse, shook off the defense, sprinted forward, and then jumped high into the air.

boom!

puff!

The two voices sounded almost at the same time, and there was a fierce collision of lightning and stone fire in the small penalty area of ​​Manchester City.

Ramos was close at hand and headed towards the bottom corner of the goal.

Just like the 9248 that saved Real Madrid in the Champions League final that year.

Ederson's body rushed towards the ball almost at the same time, and his reaction was equally fast.

The entire stadium echoed with the fans' exclamations.

【Ramos, almost saved Real Madrid!】

[Ederson, try to keep the goal!]

[It’s so exciting, a wonderful confrontation!]

[The desperate eyes of Real Madrid fans seem to say, you can save this ball!]

[Manchester City players shook hands with the goalkeeper excitedly, as if to say, they can save this ball!]

After missing an excellent opportunity to equalize the score, Zidane's eyes were full of unwillingness and he angrily smashed the awning of the bench with his hand.

Or a corner kick.

The Manchester City players were fully focused and guarded Ramos tightly, almost holding him in place.

boom!

Bell passed the ball again.

This time, he chose to pass the ball outside the penalty area.

In this area, Manchester City's defensive players crowded into the penalty area, allowing Rossi to easily get the ball here.

[Real Madrid tactical corner kick!]

[Rosie stops the ball with her chest!]

【What an opportunity!!!!】

Seeing that Rossi was about to raise his foot to shoot, Fernandinho, who had just come on the field, rushed forward wildly and used his body to block the shot.

Rossi slightly buckled his ankle and directed the ball to the other side, shaking off the opponent's block.

Fernandinho refused to give up and was shaken away, but he pulled Rossi's clothes with both hands and tried to interfere as much as possible.

Rossi was also pulled by him and his upper body fell back, unable to complete the shooting action.

drop!

The referee decisively called for a defensive foul and showed Fernandinho a yellow card.

Real Madrid received a well-positioned right-side set piece, suitable for a left-footed player to shoot directly.

Bell stood in front of the penalty spot, preparing to take the penalty.

Manchester City was nervously arranging the position of the wall. Zidane seized the moment and called Carvajal to his side.

After the whistle blew, Bell's free kick hit the second-floor stands.

The fourth official raised the display screen, which showed 3 minutes of injury time.

Zidane kept scratching his head, extremely anxious.

The game continues.

Manchester City pressed their formation forward and tried to keep the danger away from their own half as much as possible.

Ederson passed the ball to the frontcourt with his big foot. Casemiro and Fernandinho both jumped up and competed for the header.

As the two fought for it, the ball flew to the right. Valverde moved his chest forward and passed it to Benzema.
