Chapter 265
Di Maria is a very good assaulter, which Xu Ning admits at all times.
Later, when Argentina lifted the World Cup trophy, Xu Ning was still very emotional.
Unexpectedly, Messi didn't really have teammates to help until the end of his career.
Among them, Di Maria is already one of the few players in Argentina who can really create a threat.
At this time, Di Maria was clearly still at the peak of his career, fast, sharp and very threatening in crosses.
Although you have not appeared due to tactical reasons, if you underestimate Di Maria because of this, I am afraid that you will also pay a terrible price.
Real Madrid's formation became a midfield configuration with Modric in the center, Di Maria and Isco separated, and completely technical.
Perhaps Carlo Ancelotti's adjustment gave Real Madrid fans the last hope to cheer for the team again while City were still celebrating their goals.
Pellegrini will naturally not be indifferent when he sees Ancelotti's adjustment.
You substitute?
Burn one's ship?
Then I'll change it too!
The Manchester City he is managing now is not the Malaga he was last season.
It was true that there was no one available in Malaga last season, many times the game was deadlocked and he had a way to solve it, but there was really no one available on the bench.
But now the situation is completely different!
Although Manchester City's overall squad is slightly inferior to Real Madrid, in terms of bench depth alone, I am afraid that even Real Madrid will bow down.
Look who is sitting on the bench now!
Sergio Aguero, Firmino, David Silva, De Bruyne, Milner, Santa Cruz...
Just take out one casually, it will be the envy of other teams.
At this time, Pellegrini's choice was a little unexpected.
He replaced Dzeko with Milner.
Milner is a panacea in the midfield at Manchester City, can play in any position, and the style is more English and very rough.
Replacing Dzeko with Milner is to strengthen the midfield defense and use Milner as a new force to limit the Real Madrid midfield from delivering shells to the striker.
Xu Ning couldn't help but applaud Pellegrini's substitution.
With a two-goal lead, it is the most important thing to be able to hold the score.
Dzeko is no longer very useful on the field, so it is better to replace him with a midfielder.
Milner probably did not expect that at such a critical moment, the head coach entrusted himself with a heavy responsibility.
So much so that when I played, I was still a little confused.
Xu Ning rushed up and smacked Milner on the back, causing Milner to stir.
"It's time for you to show your might!"
"Beat them up for me!"
Xu Ning's unassuming tone made Milner find the feeling of competition at once.
He nodded heavily, and then turned to look at the Real Madrid player's eyes, as if a beast was looking at its prey.
Soon the players from both sides returned to their respective positions and prepared to replay.
After Real Madrid's kick-off, players began to press forward in a swarm, like a wave to flatten City's defense.
Even Varane and Ramos on the back line were past halftime.
Ramos is even more frequent to the restricted area, ready to reverse at any time.
In a situation where mere defense has lost its meaning, if the attack is not excessive.
Not to mention, Real Madrid's wave really brought a lot of threats to Manchester City's goal.
In the 75th minute, Di Maria crossed from the left and there was a scuffle in the box.
In the end, Ronaldo fought for the point and almost slammed the Manchester City goal with a direct header;
A minute later, Isco broke through Kolarov's defence on the right flank and then continued forward along the ribs when a sudden pick hit the Manchester City centre-back.
Cristiano Ronaldo came out of the crowd, faced Joe Hart's defense, and directly stabbed the goal.
But before Ronaldo could make his signature celebratory move, he heard the referee's whistle, which was different from the goal.
Everyone looked over incredulously and saw that the referee had made a gesture that the goal was invalid.
On the sidelines, the flag raised high by the linesman was extremely dazzling.
Offside!
Where can the Real Madrid players accept it, rushing to the referee like crazy, asking for explanations.
At this time, there is no advanced equipment such as VAR, and it can only rely on the judgment of the referee team for a moment.
The referee originally thought that Ronaldo was offside, and the linesman raised the flag to give him confidence.
"I see that the score is clear, it is offside!"
"Back off! Back off!
"No need to justify!"
With the help of Manchester City players, the referee was embarrassed to free himself from the Real Madrid players.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want the situation to get out of control, the referee would have given Ramos, who was just the most impulsive, a yellow card warning!
Real Madrid fans roared angrily, and the "black whistle" sounded in the Stadium of Light.
At this time, the TV broadcast picture has given the video playback just now.
At the time of Isco's breakthrough, Ronaldo had already tacitly begun to insert forward.
But I don't know if Isco passed the ball late, or Ronaldo ran early, at the moment of Isco passing, Ronaldo did exceed Kompany by half a position.
Offside is obvious!
The fans in front of the TV were silent, and apparently there was nothing to argue about.
But inside the stadium is completely different.
An angry Ancelotti cursed there and went to trouble with the fourth official.
Even a few players on the bench rushed to settle the score.
It seems that if this goal is not counted on Real Madrid, they will be like everyone else.
The fourth official quickly called the referee over and gave Carlo Ancelotti a yellow card.
This is already their subordinates' mercy, with Ancelotti's performance, even if he is directly expelled from the field, it is not too much.
There are no precedents for this on the pitch!
"I'm really not offside!" Ronaldo stood there angrily, not knowing who he was spitting on.
Xu Ning blinked, his expression slightly disdainful among friends.
The referee and the linesman made the ruling almost at the same time, what else do you have to justify?
Could it be that you really think that people are black whistles?
When it comes to influence, Real Madrid doesn't know how much higher than Manchester City.
Even if UEFA wants to make a fuss about the referee's decision, I am afraid it will prefer Real Madrid to Manchester City.
People have already left mercy under their hands, okay!
Otherwise, from just now to now, Real Madrid would not know how many people will have to take yellow cards!
Therefore, Xu Ning was too lazy to pay attention to the child-like Ronaldo.
After all, in front of a champion, it's hard for someone to stay calm and sane.
However, this twist and turn also hit Real Madrid's overall morale again.
Even if they were still holding their breath, there was not much time left.
Manchester City even wants to accompany Real Madrid to do things, which can be regarded as a delay in changing direction!
Johart slowly placed the ball on the ground and waved his hands to signal the players to move forward and forward.
However, the Manchester City players were indifferent, after all, defence is now their main task.
Johart pretended to step forward, picked up the ball, and stepped on the turf below before putting the ball back there, and then stepped back again to prepare for the kickoff.
This set of actions gave Xu Ning a black line on his forehead.
