Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man! - Chapter 352
c352 Cristiano header!
After Bai Ran received the ball, he pulled the ball with the inside of his foot on one side of his body.
Because the ball was between his legs and he was facing Herrera sideways, it was difficult for Herrera to break the ball under Bai Ran’s feet.
The two competed in the midfield.
Offensive players have more advantages than defensive players, and Bai Ran even used the crab step. He pulled the ball and the ball rolled back and hit Bai Ran’s legs and bounced out.
Herrera was not tall and had a low center of gravity. Bai Ran made three center of gravity changes in an instant, and Herrera was still able to keep up.
But Herrera consumed more energy.
Bai Ran dribbled the ball horizontally, and the ball hit back and forth between his legs, just like a bumper ball. The action was very strange, but if anyone wanted to grab the ball under Bai Ran’s feet, they would definitely not be able to grab it. As long as Bai Ran kicked the ball, he would immediately pull the ball and pass the person.
Real Madrid players are not uncommon. This scene was done by Bai Ran when he played against Barcelona before.
Manchester United players have never seen a player who sticks to the ball like this in a club like Real Madrid. But he still can’t get it.
Bai Ran wandered around in front of the Manchester United penalty area for a circle and a half.
Fellaini finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
He saw the opportunity, ran over secretly and stretched out his foot directly, trying to poke the ball away from Bai Ran’s feet.
Bai Ran had been waiting for a long time. He also admired the patience of Manchester United players in his heart. It took so long for them to kick the ball.
Bai Ran pulled the ball before that, and then passed it straight.
Before the Manchester United players moved their feet, Bai Ran’s pass was easy to be intercepted, so he had to wait for someone to make a move before he could make a move.
This is a game between two people, it depends on who can’t wait.
If it were someone else, they would have passed the ball to someone else and reorganized it, but Bai Ran was betting on this.
Now Fellaini came over to grab Bai Ran’s ball, so there were two people to watch Bai Ran, and naturally a Real Madrid player was left empty.
Bai Ran immediately seized this gap and passed the ball.
Modric!
He appeared in the penalty area and got the ball!
Manchester United was also confused about the other players.
Modric, a small player of 1.7 meters, was not noticeable in the penalty area full of tall players.
Ronaldo, Benzema, and Bale were all in close combat with the muscular men of Manchester United. Everyone had their own goals, but after a person who should not be here appeared here, the defense missed a man.
Bai Ran’s pass was also quite clever. He passed through the crotch of two players in a row, which also disturbed the vision of the defensive players. However, Modric was quite familiar with Bai Ran’s passing style.
He knew that Bai Ran could pass the ball to that place.
Modric did not make too many adjustments after receiving the pass, and shot directly.
As a midfielder, Modric did not have many goals and assists. But it does not mean that the Croatian captain can’t shoot.
His shot was powerful and heavy, like a heavy artillery.
De Gea reacted extremely quickly, jumping up on the spot and punching out with both fists, barely dragging the ball over the crossbar, because the duck knew that he couldn’t catch the ball, so he didn’t use the hand shape of the save at all, and directly used his fist to push the ball out.
Corner kick.
This ball didn’t go in, and there was a sound of regret in the Bernabeu Stadium. Modric himself was also very upset. Bai Ran’s pass was already the best.
“I’ll do it!”
“You come again?”
Modric was also curious. Bai Ran had never taken a corner kick during training. What was he trying to do?
“Manchester United has too many tall players, and the corner kicks in training are no longer effective.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
“You stand over and pretend to take a tactical corner kick to confuse them.”
Modric listened to Bai Ran’s words and stood near him and didn’t run far, which forced Manchester United to assign another person to defend Modric.
At that time, Manchester United didn’t put anyone on the goal line to help defend the corner kick.
Because standing like that, it’s not easy for the opponent to be offside.
So fewer and fewer teams will put players on the goal line.
Bai Ran originally wanted to play a tactical corner kick, but seeing how Manchester United’s players were positioned, if Modric returned the ball, there was a possibility of offside.
So Bai Ran thought of a possibility…
Kick the ball directly to the penalty area. The opponent has tall defensive players and a very responsive goalkeeper. It’s the same for a tactical corner kick.
Then kick the ball to the top of the arc for a long shot, but since Ronaldo scored just now, Manchester United has paid attention to defense. Even if Herrera followed Bai Ran, there were others to fill in the position. Rooney even returned to the front of his own penalty area.
In order to win this game, Xiao Pang has already fought hard.
In fact, the goal rate of corner kicks is not very high. Real Madrid’s high goal rate of corner kicks is not actually an offensive corner kick, but a high goal rate of defensive corner kicks.
It started in the Psy era.
After the defensive corner kick is grabbed by Real Madrid, it is a counterattack if you just hit it twice in front. The players in front, such as Ronaldo, are all good at counterattacks.
As for offensive corner kicks, Real Madrid’s efficiency is very average.
Bai Ran took a deep breath and raised both hands at the same time.
This action confused the players of both teams.
When every team takes a corner kick, they will do something to help their teammates get the ball. For example, raising the left hand means the front point, and raising the right hand means the back point.
Bai Ran raised both hands, which made everyone confused.
“What does this mean? Surrender?”
Then Bai Ran kicked the ball hard.
The power was very strong. The football flew high and drew an arc, and went straight to the penalty area with a strong rotation.
Seeing the football coming, Manchester United’s penalty area was in chaos.
Everyone was trying to get the ball.
Fellaini at the front point strongly overwhelmed Ronaldo to jump, but the football was still quite far from Fellaini’s fluffy hair.
“This is too high, even Yao Minlai can’t reach it!”
However, after the football entered the small penalty area, it fell strongly and also rotated to the back point.
Ramos, Smalling and others in the middle also failed to reach it when they jumped.
Bale, who was lying in ambush at the back point, found that the ball was coming towards him, but he couldn’t move forward because he was blocked by Phil Jones.
Phil Jones, although he was about the same height as Bale, was quite strong and blocked Bale behind him like a wall.
De Gea felt bad when he saw the ball going to the back point, because corner kicks are sent at the front point, and the goalkeeper can block it and send it to the back point basically by the defender.
There are also goalkeepers who can move back in time. It is also based on the opponent’s shot being hit more directly to be able to save effectively.
Otherwise, the back point is much more threatening than the front point, but if you want to head the ball at the back point, you must go through the destruction of the front point and the middle. If you want to take a high-quality back point kick, luck and footwork are indispensable.
However, at this time, the ball turned directly to the goal with a strong rotation.
“You block me, and I won’t let you jump properly!”
Phil Jones was stuck, just like a pair of intimate lovers.
Phil Jones, with Bale hanging on his body, jumped up with all his strength, but the ball rubbed his scalp and spun towards the goal before he could reach it.
At this time, De Gea had already given up his body completely, jumped into the air, stretched out his hand, and poked the ball flying towards the goal with his fingertips.
He felt as if he had touched something through his gloves, and he didn’t know if he could change the direction of the ball’s flight.
In just a moment, the duck’s body had already fallen down.
Bang!
There was a dull sound of the ball hitting the goalpost.
Argentine Rojo was in this position, and saw that the ball was pounced by his goalkeeper, hit the goalpost and bounced out. He could block the ball in this position, so he used an unconventional move to kick it with his foot.
He was ready to destroy the ball.
But he didn’t expect it to hit Luke Shaw’s buttocks.
He blocked the ball again.
Ramos in the center of the penalty area was quick-witted and shot the ball.
As a result, De Gea, who was lying on the ground, reacted very quickly, bounced up from the ground in an instant, and blocked the shot with his body.
But the ball bounced off and hit Luke Shaw’s face, and bounced into the goal again.
Fat Shaw: “…”
Manchester United players were silent.
At this time, Ronaldo appeared again, he picked up the ball from the net, and then ran to the midpoint.
Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid tied the total score to 2:4.
Thinking carefully, it seems that the gap is still very large, at least three goals must be scored.
After scoring the goal, the players of Real Madrid had no intention of celebrating at all, the gap was too big. It felt that scoring two goals was useless.
Bai Ran staggered back.
“Just score three more goals. I will take one, Gary will do one, Karim will do one, Cristiano will work hard to come up with two, that’s five, enough.”
Bai Ran’s words made his teammates laugh.
“You can score if you want. Manchester United don’t care about face.”
“I didn’t even say I was going to score a hat trick, I’ve already given them face. Why, Tony, don’t you believe it? How about we make a bet, whoever loses will wash the other’s underwear for a year!”
“Stop it, I’m afraid you’ll tear my underwear.”
Bai Ran was making a fuss here, which cleared up a lot of the originally solidified and solemn atmosphere.
Think about it, everyone can just score a goal.
It’s not a big deal, it’s not like fighting for eggs.
The game resumed and another goal was lost, which was not a big blow to Manchester United. After all, there were only 50 minutes left including injury time.
Not losing three goals in 50 minutes, this requirement is already very low.
However, Real Madrid saw the hope of scoring, and Manchester United was not impossible to break through, so everyone was like taking drugs.
Everyone was in high spirits.
At this time, Herrera followed Bai Ran and was a little overwhelmed.
He felt that it was too hard to follow a player like Bai Ran alone.
Especially the cooperation between Bai Ran, Modric and Toni Kroos was very tacit, and they played all kinds of wall pick-and-rolls like fire.
Herrera had to spend more energy to keep up with Bai Ran.
In this game, Ronaldo was also closely watched.
Originally, Ronaldo’s jumping ability was a magic weapon for grabbing points, but in this game, the two air masters took turns to stare at Ronaldo.
However, just now, seeing that Bai Ran still didn’t care in the face of such a difficult situation, it also inspired Ronaldo’s fighting spirit.
From then on, Ronaldo began to ask for the ball non-stop.
One man turned the right side of Manchester United upside down.
“Although Damian is in good position, I think his athletic ability is limited, especially his explosive power. You can try to break through him more.”
Taking advantage of the dead ball, Bai Ran said something to Ronaldo.
Ronaldo nodded.
In fact, he also saw it. Damian was very tall, his blocking position was very accurate, and his ability to read the game was also very strong.
However, Damian is a typical Italian defensive player with a very good defensive awareness, but due to his lack of butt, his speed is not good, especially his explosive power.
Cristiano Ronaldo can often beat him hard. If other Manchester United players hadn’t always come out to fill in, with two players guarding one, Cristiano Ronaldo would have penetrated this side.
After the out-of-bounds ball came out, Marcelo went down at high speed, but no one in the Manchester United team cared about him. As long as he did not enter the penalty area or get the ball, no one cared about Marcelo because they were not afraid of Real Madrid’s cross.
This made Marcelo feel awkward throughout the entire half and had no sense of presence.
From a low ball, it’s all leg-passing. When a high ball comes in, there’s room for dominance.
In the past, Marcelo and Ronaldo could be called a golden partner, but this game was very restricted.
Ronaldo was about to cut inside and found that there were too many legs in the penalty area, and even he couldn’t find an angle to hit a long shot. Therefore, it can only be passed to Marcelo, while he is running into the penalty area.
Marcelo was a little hesitant after getting the ball. Normally at this time he would pass the ball without any hesitation.
But it was passed throughout the first half and had no effect.
“Give me!”
Marcelo heard the request and without saying a word returned the ball to a white figure in the corner of the penalty area.
That’s Bai Ran.
Bai Ran doesn’t care.
When the ball reached this place, he passed it without taking a shot, and punched the old master to death. What’s more, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale knocking on the goal and passed it over.
Of course Bai Ran has an extra thought.
We know that Manchester United’s defenders are very capable in air defense, even the worst Rojo is very good.
But some things cannot be made up for by fighting spirit, so when Bai Ran passed the ball again, he deliberately passed it about fifteen centimeters higher than usual.
Being tall does not mean good jumping ability. The meaning of being tall is that many high-altitude balls can achieve the same effect as other players without taking off, which is more convenient and faster.
Seeing Bai Ran’s pass coming, Ronaldo jumped high in advance. He got stuck in position in the air, preventing Smallin in front of him from taking off.
The height of Ronaldo’s jump was already higher than the goal. He was simply waiting for Bai Ran’s pass in the air.
“What air refueling station…”
Cristiano Ronaldo, who stayed in the air for a long time, became the focus of the field, and everyone else became the background.
Bai Ran’s ball was already passed much higher, but compared to the height of Ronaldo’s jump this time, it was slightly shorter, causing Ronaldo to have to lower his head slightly to reach the header.
“Cristiano header!”
“GOAL!!”
“Real Madrid rewritten the score to 3:4 in the last minute of the first half! Oh my God, they pulled the situation back! Manchester United is going to have a headache! This goal is the masterpiece of Ronaldo! Bai Ran also passed it with a tactful mind Just right.”
Ronaldo took a look after scoring. The time displayed on the big screen was already the last ten seconds of injury time, so this time he did not go to the goal to take the ball out, but ran towards the corner kick area. He asked Bai Ran to wait for his teammates to come over and celebrate with him.
“Let me tell you, it’s not difficult. Okay, now that Chris has completed half of the task, we have to work harder.”
“Oh my god, it’s so bad, like moldy spaghetti, Li, you’re like a taskmaster.” Benzema complained while riding on Bai Ran’s back.
“You stupid woodchuck, it’s not me who gets off my back and scores a goal again! Karim, how long do you think it has been since you scored a goal? I really want to kick you hard with my boot. ‘s ass.”
“Ha ha ha ha.”
A bunch of Real Madrid players were smiling like Donald Duck.
Seeing the Real Madrid players so relaxed, Van Gaal’s expression on the sidelines became increasingly ugly.
Manchester United still has a certain advantage, but it will not be good if it continues like this.
Sure enough, as soon as Manchester United passed the ball, the referee blew the whistle to end the half-time game.
Returning to the locker room, Zidane immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
“The boys did a great job, let’s keep up the good work in the second half!”
“BOSS, I estimate that Manchester United will attack in the second half and use offense instead of defense.” Bai Ran said.
“Yes, that’s what I expected. Van Gaal is a very experienced head coach. He will definitely not sit back and wait for death. But from this point of view, it may be our chance. We still played in the second half. Twelve points of spirit, we can only relax after the end of the game noise.”
“Boss, let’s get something affordable. If we can win this game, will you treat us to a meal at DIVERXO?” Bai Ran said maliciously.
DIVERXO is the best restaurant in Madrid. It ranks among the best in the list of Western restaurants in the world. Of course, the price is also very beautiful. Bai Ran himself can’t bear to eat there anyway.
“DIVERXO? You really know how to choose a place. I have to support my family. After the game, shouldn’t you enjoy some time with your girlfriend?”
Zidane’s words made Bai Ran unable to hold back.
“You know that too?”
J Luo next to him spread his hands innocently: “I didn’t say it. It’s none of my business.”
“I’m not blind… Well, I was worried that you would be addicted to love and affect your performance on the field. Unexpectedly, it seems that you are even more powerful. I would have introduced my niece to you if I had known.”
Although Bai Ran is a social cow, he is a traditional Chinese after all. He is a little embarrassed to be teased by his teammates and coach.
After the coach made a simple arrangement, everyone went back to the field. After returning to the field, Bai Ran found that Manchester United had replaced two people during the half-time break.
Di Maria and Juan Mata came on the field, and Herrera was replaced.
It seems that Van Gaal also felt that since Herrera was staring at Bai Ran, he still couldn’t stop Real Madrid from scoring, so he simply didn’t use the exchange tactics, because it was obviously ineffective.
