After receiving the pass from Li Mingyu, Gundogan passed by the midfielder who was rushing towards him and cut directly to the middle of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's defense line suddenly collapsed.
Ancelotti's face became very ugly.
To start the second half, this is a tactic designed by myself.
Because he has watched many Manchester City games, and some goals scored by weak teams always happen at the beginning of the second half.
This shows that Manchester City will habitually relax at the beginning of the second half.
But I didn't expect that Li Mingyu destroyed his own arrangement with just a simple fake move, and also found the weak point of his team.
Originally, according to Ancelotti's idea, under the pressure of a double press, Li Mingyu could only choose to pass back to the defender.
At this time, Haaland will use his speed to rush and force the opponent's defender to take the ball out.
The worst result is that the opponent kicks the ball into Real Madrid's half, allowing Real Madrid to start organizing the offense.
But if the ball can be intercepted in the frontcourt or even in the penalty area, then this will be the turning point of this game.
Now, Ancelotti no longer thinks about scoring a goal. He stands on the sidelines with an ugly face, nervously looking at his own half, praying that Manchester City won't give himself a slap in the face!
Gundogan arrived about thirty-five meters in front of the penalty area.
Unguarded, he directly raised his foot and fired a long shot.
Real Madrid's goalkeeper Courtois never thought that Gundogan would take a shot from that position.
When he saw the football flying over, he moved his steps in a panic, and with a side dive, he blocked the shot from this angle, which was not a tricky one.
The fans of Manchester City let out a sigh of regret, and in a flash, there was shocking applause for Gundogan who shot the goal.
Gundogan also shook his head regretfully. He didn't hit the ball well.
However, there is no problem with this choice. With no one guarding, you can definitely try a kick in this position.
Li Mingyu in the backcourt also gave Gundogan applause and encouragement.
Ancelotti, who had escaped the disaster, finally regained his composure on his face.
After Courtois stood up with lingering fear, he roared loudly at his defense line, how could he let the opponent shoot so easily.
Bernardo Silva took a corner kick, and Courtois rushed out of the penalty area. Taking advantage of his height and long arms, he knocked the ball out of the penalty area with one punch.
Outside the penalty area, Real Madrid controlled the second landing point.
Li Mingyu in the midfield looked at Haaland who was sprinting.
So, Li Mingyu turned around and rushed backwards at high speed.
After De Bruyne got the ball, he half-turned and made a long pass. Sure enough, he was looking for Haaland on the left.
However, at the edge of the track where Haaland was sprinting, Li Mingyu, who started almost at the same time as him, was also desperately chasing after him.
However, De Bruyne's pass is close to the side of Haaland, so if Li Mingyu wants to catch up with the ball before Haaland, it must run more distance.
After judging the landing point of the football, Li Mingyu did not rush directly towards the football, but rushed forward side by side with Haaland, so that even if Haaland got the ball, it could not easily cut into the penalty area.
Haaland rushed forward with a ferocious face, and the swing of his arms was different from most people.
When everyone is running, they swing back and forth, but Haaland's arms are always in front of the body, and the elbows never exceed his body.
Weird running posture, but it makes him run very fast.
Haaland touched the ball first, and Li Mingyu followed closely behind.
Haaland did not stop. He continued to move the ball forward, preparing to continue competing for speed with Li Mingyu.
Li Mingyu is not timid, he fights for speed, I have never been afraid of anyone!
This time, the two bodies were very close.
Their arms were tangled together, and their shoulders kept bumping into each other, not giving an inch of ground.
This scene made all the fans in the audience burst with adrenaline.
Physical confrontation can often inspire the most primitive wildness and passion of human beings.
It can be said that the physical fitness of both people is world-class, and no one is worse than the other.
From the camera, it can be seen that both of them looked ferocious, and the two descending arms were already intertwined. If they fell, it would probably lead to the tragic scene of Pharaoh Salah.
Coincidentally, it was Real Madrid back then.
However, the culprit Ramos is on the other side of the stadium!
After Haaland caught up with the football, he lightly touched the football with his left foot, then made an emergency stop and tried to shake off Li Mingyu.
But the two people's intertwined arms let Li Mingyu know Haaland's intention, so he quickly adjusted his center of gravity and staggered to a stop.
Because the speed of the two was so fast, the player closest to Real Madrid had just passed the midfield.
Therefore, Haaland can only fight alone.
However, facing Li Mingyu's defense, does Haaland have a chance of winning?
Haaland quickly looked back at the situation in the middle and found that he was fighting alone, so he made preparations for a breakthrough.
Li Mingyu also bent down slightly, always ready to steal the ball from Haaland's feet.
Haaland Although he can be considered a top star now, some of his skills are still very rough.
For example, his excellence.
Regardless of whether it is Dortmund or Real Madrid, Haaland basically uses his body and speed to forcefully break through his opponent.
After De Bruyne arrived, Haaland's attack became even more simple and crude.
Sometimes, even the passing link is omitted, and just moving is enough.
This has resulted in the fact that although Haaland's goals have increased year by year, his passing skills have become rusty.
When facing other teams, Haaland's physical advantage can make him stand out.
But when facing Li Mingyu, whose physical fitness and speed were comparable to his, Haaland's weaknesses were exposed.
Two consecutive swings failed to fool Li Mingyu. Seeing that Manchester City was about to return to defense, and he would soon face a double-team, Haaland couldn't bear it anymore and directly threw the ball away from Li Mingyu, preparing to continue to use this method to break through Li Mingyu.
But again and again, not again and again.
Li Mingyu saw through Haaland's thoughts in an instant, and with a gambling-style step-up steal, he stopped the football that had just been kicked out by Haaland at his feet.
And Haaland was also tripped by Li Mingyu's outstretched leg and fell to the ground.
Suddenly, boos broke out in the stadium.
