Chapter 381

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City made personnel adjustments.

Left winger Mahrez was replaced and defender Stones played to maintain the integrity of the four-back lineup.

Midfield substitutions do not count towards the number of substitutions in the game.

Now five players can be replaced in each game, but they must be completed within three substitutions, and midfield substitutions are not counted in the three substitutions.

From the past three substitutes to the current five replacements, it is a qualitative leap for football games.

This is also a disguised protection for football players, reducing the average playing time of players.

Less game time means fewer injuries.

Moreover, this is also an encouragement for weak teams.

The substitution quota of five people is equivalent to replacing half of the team, which is of great help to the weak team. In many games, the weak team relies on running and frantically pressing against the strong team.The main lineup is tired, changing half of the players and continuing to press the opponent with such a high intensity will really make the strong team very uncomfortable.

However, some FIFA officials revealed that the five-man substitution quota has been jointly protested by many strong teams. Indeed, the number and frequency of such substitutions have indeed had a considerable impact on strong teams.

Maybe in the next year, many leagues will return to the three-person bench.

After all, in this world, the person with the big fist has the final say.

In the second half, Manchester City kicked off first.

The moment the whistle sounded, Real Madrid players rushed into Manchester City's half and began to siege Manchester City.

Li Mingyu had already returned to the position of the midfielder, partnering with Rodri as a double midfielder. In front, Bernardo Silva retreated slightly.

The Real Madrid players were aggressive, and the suppressed Manchester City players were very careful when they played the ball.

Li Mingyu kept running, responded to the passes of his teammates, and quickly channeled them, making every siege of the Real Madrid team come to nothing.

Suddenly, Li Mingyu, who had been surrounded by several black jerseys, used an unimaginable deep-fried ball, walked out of the crowd with the ball, and tore a hole in the Real Madrid team's siege.

Li Mingyu looked up and saw that Jesus had already started, so his right foot slammed on the football like a whip.

The football turned into a white line and flew directly towards Real Madrid's half.

Jesus worked hard and finally saved the football when it was about to go out of the sideline.

However, in front of him and on the side, there is already a Real Madrid player watching him covetously.

Jesus glanced at the back and found that Bernardo Silva, who was closest to him, was more than ten meters away. Next, it was up to him.

Jesus no longer hesitated, took the ball directly along the sidewalk and began to rush towards the bottom line quickly.

Wingback Carvajal rushed over from the side, and the shoulders of the two hit each other hard.

Although the upper body of Jesus was a little shaken when he was hit, the legs below were very stable, and he firmly controlled the football under his feet.

The benefits of wing breakthroughs are reflected here. Although Real Madrid has two defensive players, only Carvajal can get close to Jesus, and the other Militao can only help defend behind him.

Unless Jesus stops the ball or prepares to cut inside, Militao will be useless at all.

Real Madrid's defense was quick. When Jesus made his second breakthrough, although Carvajal hadn't been able to stop the ball at his feet, two people in the middle had already returned to the defense, and Bernardo Silva was still a certain distance from the penalty area.

And Jesus has already rushed under the penalty area line, and then he only has to cut inside besides directly forcing a pass.

But Carvajal's position is very good, and he has been pressing him towards the sideline, making it impossible for him to cut directly inside.

And behind him, Militang has been watching him covetously, as long as he dares to make any inward cuts, he will directly stick up and break the ball under his feet.

Faced with this situation, Jesus seems to have only one way to go, which is to force a cross, but there are no players outflanking the center.

However, what people did not expect was that Jesus stepped on the football with his left foot, turned his body backwards, and tapped his heel on the football lightly, and the football passed through the only space between Carvajal and Militao.

Jesus slapped La Carvajal with his hand, and forcibly wiped him from the left side, preparing to overtake forcibly.

Neither Carvajal nor Militao thought that Jesus could break through in this desperate situation. In desperation, Carvajal, who had lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, chose to pull Jesus to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Carvajal, who was full of frustration, shook his head helplessly. The extraordinary performance of Jesus just now hit him too hard.

The sure-fire defense was actually broken by the opponent's gaudy "Marseille roundabout".

A topaz Ares card was presented and the referee awarded a direct free kick.

However, the position of the ball is too far, and it is a bit difficult to hit the goal directly.

A few seconds later, Li Mingyu slowly walked over from the backcourt. Gabriel Jesus, Ferran Torres and Varane had already appeared in the opponent's penalty area. Rodri and Bernardo Silva were outside the penalty area as protection to prevent the opponent from getting a second point for a quick counterattack.

Before saying victory, think about defeat first.

Don't say a goal, think about defense first.

Li Mingyu stood behind the football, constantly looking at the positions of his teammates in the penalty area.

The players of the Real Madrid team thought that it was unlikely that Li Mingyu would shoot from this position, so they just sent a normal two-person wall between the football and the goal.

Courtois felt a little unsafe, so he stood at the front post, afraid that Li Mingyu would directly attack the goal.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the players on both sides in the penalty area began to entangle each other, forcing the referee to stop the game again.

The referee walked up to Varane and Militao and gave them a verbal warning for their previous pulling behavior.

The two also acted very honestly, spreading their hands, saying that they were innocent!
The referee didn't say much, just stared at them, slowly exited the penalty area, and blew the whistle again.

Li Mingyu let out a deep breath, looked at the penalty area, and started to run.

In front of the football, Li Mingyu twisted his body into a twist, and his left ankle, which stepped on the ground, seemed to be broken, making one couldn't help but let out a "hiss—" inhalation sound, and his right foot was whipped fiercely under the side of the football.

I saw the football whizzed and flew into Real Madrid's restricted area.

Inside the penalty area, players from both sides began to desperately compete for positions, judging where the football will fall!
