Chapter 254 11 crowns, Real Madrid crowned the king of the Champions League
There used to be a saying that if you want to understand the latest tactics in world football, then go to the Champions League.

Here are the most successful and advanced tactics.

And this season's Champions League final is the best proof.

Atletico Madrid's iron-blooded defense and frontcourt pressing have gradually become the favored tactics of small and medium teams.

Relying on the active running of the players on the field, it constantly compresses and squeezes the passing space of the opponent, and then counterattacks through steals to create opportunities.

This kind of tactics often leads to upsets.

And Real Madrid's defensive counterattack, after being polished by Mourinho and optimized by Ancelotti, has become a counterattack killer that makes the whole of Europe frightened.

Compared with Leicester City's counterattack, Real Madrid's control in the midfield is obviously stronger than them.

Modric and Kroos can not only pass short passes, but also play wonderful ground coordination.

It can also organize a counterattack from the backcourt and hand it over to the forward BBC to complete a fatal assault.

The use of these two tactics has been able to compete with Barcelona's pass control.

After Real Madrid scored, Simeone's Atletico Madrid began to counterattack, and the strangling of the two sides in the midfield was extremely fierce.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Although the competition process was intense and exciting, it was also extremely tense, but what Rossi saw was the use of tactics and the game between the two sides.

Strangling in the midfield is all about control.

If Real Madrid can have an advantage in the midfield, Kroos or Modric's passes can be continuously passed to the wing, and then rely on the personal ability of the striker to threaten the goal.

If Atletico Madrid takes the initiative in the midfield, then their counterattack after the steal can be launched from any place, making it hard to guard against.

Not only offensively, the two teams also worked hard on defense.

Atletico Madrid still relies on the 4-5-1 chain defense to cover the defense to the backcourt area, supplemented by fierce steals to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Real Madrid uses the passing and dispatching abilities of the midfielders to firmly control the ball at their feet.

Making fewer mistakes is the key to winning the championship.

The more important the game, the fewer mistakes, in order to win the final championship.

In Rossi's view, the two teams made quite a few mistakes.

Even when Real Madrid scored, Atletico Madrid's defense was impenetrable.

After all, Bell's header hit the back, and even he himself couldn't know exactly where it landed.

In the first half, Real Madrid led 1:0.

At the beginning of the second half, Pepe hit Torres who received the ball in the penalty area, and Atletico Madrid won a penalty.

Griezmann stood in front of the penalty spot, and everyone at the scene was sweating.

approach!

shoot!

Griezmann's shot, which fooled goalkeeper Navas, was blocked by the crossbar.

Unbelievable Atlético fans, heads in their hands, in disbelief, the penalty missed.

The Real Madrid fans who escaped the catastrophe jumped up excitedly again, continued to wave the flag in their hands, and cheered.

In the 52nd minute, Real Madrid defender Carvajal was injured, unable to persist in the game, and left the field in tears.

As the game progressed, the strangulation between the two sides in the midfield became more and more intense.

Real Madrid created several threatening attacks, but they were all resolved by Atletico Madrid's tenacious defense.

Moreover, after Kroos was replaced, the midfielder's ball was not as smooth as before, and the initiative gradually returned to Atletico Madrid.

In the 79th minute, Atletico Madrid used a collision with the wall on the right side of the opponent's penalty area. Juanfran advanced forward and passed the ball directly from the bottom without stopping the ball.

The ball passed through Real Madrid's front point and the two defended, and then Carrasco followed up with a shot.

[GOAL! ! ! ! ! 】

[Atletico Madrid equalizes the score! 】

[Real Madrid wasted offensive opportunities one after another, and was pierced through the goal by Atletico Madrid's wonderful cooperation in the penalty area. 】

【Under their tenacious defense, they finally showed their attacking fangs. 】

In the subsequent games, the two sides fought more and more fiercely, and the threatening attacks created were all bravely resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

In regular time, the two teams drew and entered overtime.

Like the final two years ago, the two sides fought fiercely for 90 minutes regardless of the outcome.

The difference is that Atletico Madrid was tied in the 92nd minute and missed the upcoming Champions League, which made the players completely collapsed mentally.

This time, the Atletico Madrid players were fully prepared. In the 30 minutes of overtime, the defense was still impeccable.

After 120 minutes of fierce fighting, the two sides entered a penalty shootout.

Rossi was even more nervous, holding Pixie's hand tightly.

Both sides have shown amazing willpower and tenacious spirit so far. No matter who wins or loses, it is a great team.

In the penalty shootout, Real Madrid took the first penalty.

Surprisingly, Real Madrid's first penalty shooter was actually Lucas Vazquez.

This player, in the star-studded Real Madrid team, is neither a star nor a starter.

With him being the first to take the penalty, the pressure can be imagined.

He spun the ball in his hands and walked towards the penalty spot with a relaxed expression.

"Real Madrid must win!" Rossi couldn't help blurting out.

This penalty kick has not yet started, why can you insist that Real Madrid can win.

Although Pixie is not a senior fan, he also understands that there are too many variables and uncontrollable factors in the penalty shootout.

"Ro, how do you know?"

Rossi didn't answer and stared at the game.

Real Madrid's first penalty, Vazquez took advantage of the change of rhythm and made a steady penalty.

After scoring a goal, he kept patting the team logo on his chest.

Atletico Madrid's first penalty was Griezmann.

Although he missed a penalty kick in the second half, he still tricked the goalkeeper and scored the ball steadily.

Real Madrid's second penalty, the team favorite Marcelo.

Although the goalkeeper Oblak judged the right direction, Marcelo's angle of the ball was too tricky, and he watched the ball go into the net.

Atletico Madrid's second penalty, captain Gabi.

He also tricked goalkeeper Navas and hit the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. The quality of the power angle is very high.

Real Madrid's third penalty, Gareth Bale.

As the third person in the world who was closest to Melo, he scored the ball with a clever shot of four or two.

The goalkeeper didn't even know where to jump, and stood there blankly.

Atletico Madrid's third penalty, Saul.

In the face of Navas' dancing, he still cheated the defense and hit the ball to the lower left corner of the goal.

In the current three rounds of penalty kicks, both sides have hit every shot.

Pixie in the stands also became nervous, her heart pounding.

There's no telling who's going to win that way.

Why did Rossi insist that Real Madrid will win?

Before the penalty kick, Rossi was obviously very nervous, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly became very relaxed.

Real Madrid's fourth penalty, captain Ramos.

In the two Champions League finals, Ramos scored goals and is an absolute contributor to Real Madrid.

Before he took the penalty, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone kept raising his hands, hoping that his fans would create momentum and put pressure on Ramos.

Mr. Ramos, the big scene, not only was not affected, but instead used a rhythm change to deceive the goalkeeper and score the ball steadily.

Atletico Madrid's fourth penalty was Juanfran, who assisted Calaster's goal.

He is an excellent player who came out of Real Madrid's youth training system.

Now he faces his old club in the penalty shootout of the Champions League final.

Pressure, ensues.

approach!

shoot!

Goalkeeper Keylor Navas guessed the direction of the shot, but his finger did not touch the ball.

boom!
The ball hit the footing firmly and bounced out.

Finally, Atletico Madrid finally missed a penalty kick under tremendous pressure.

And Real Madrid's fifth penalty is Real Madrid's star, Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the 08 Champions League final, Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty on behalf of Manchester United in the Champions League final against Chelsea.

Measure the run-up distance with your feet, spread your legs apart, and stand in front of you like a bronze statue.

After taking a deep breath,
approach,

shoot!

Completely tricked the goalkeeper and hit the ball to the top right corner of the goal.

After scoring the goal, Ronaldo took off his jersey and threw it into the sky.

All Real Madrid players rushed into the field frantically, surrounded Ronaldo, and enjoyed the joy of the game.

This is their 11th Champions League trophy.

After being ridiculed for many years as "The Sixteenth Man of the Champions League", Real Madrid reached the final twice in three years and won both times.

They are kings of Europe.

As for Atletico Madrid, they fell to their rivals in the same city twice in three years.

The players slumped to the ground one by one, hiding their faces in pain.

They've done a great job.

When the investment in signings and the background of the team are far inferior to their opponents, being able to drag the game into a penalty shootout is enough to show their strength.

But Atletico Madrid players are not reconciled.

Do civilian teams not qualify for the Champions League?

Rossi in the stands, isn't he from a grassroots team, but he can win the Premier League trophy?

Why, fate is always so ill-fated?

After the exciting penalty shootout, Pixie sat down on the chair, her chest still heaving.

"Luo, you can tell me now, why did you decide that Real Madrid would win from the beginning?"

Rossi said: "It's intuition. It's mentality that counts for penalties."

"Real Madrid No. 17 Vazquez, this is his first year back to Real Madrid. In terms of fame and strength, he is far inferior to other players."

"But he was the first to take a penalty kick. You have to know how much the first penalty has affected the team."

"But he actually played with the ball before the free throw. This kind of mentality makes me sure that the final victory will definitely be Real Madrid."

"I really want a jersey from him!"

Others wanted to take the jerseys of Ronaldo and Bale, but Rossi actually picked the most common one.

"Don't want Ronaldo's jersey?" Pixie asked curiously.

"Didn't he lose it during the celebration..."
