Chapter 107 Fortunately it was just a Super Bowl [Fifth update yesterday]

Is Real Madrid weak?

Of course they are not weak at all, they are the champions of the Champions League.

Then why are they being suppressed by Monaco on the field now?

The problem lies in the mentality
Before the game started, Real Madrid players didn't take Monaco seriously at all.

It is only now that they realize that Monaco is as strong as their league rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
"Real Madrid needs to get back to form as soon as possible..."

"They were actually beaten by Monaco!"

“This is so unexpected.”

In the media box.

Spanish reporters also frowned.

The Real Madrid fans in the media booth also had frowns on their faces.
They all know the person named Sunshine.

Because of the media bombardment during this period, even Real Madrid fans who didn’t know that Sunshine had played for the Real Madrid youth team before now know about it.

Oh...the big guy who is now pressing down on Real Madrid’s defense, turned out to be a former youth player of Real Madrid?
But why did he go to Monaco?
Some Real Madrid diehards who knew the inside story gnashed their teeth and said, "That guy actually dared to give us the middle finger during the game!"

Seeing Varane being knocked away by the sunlight, the French central defender lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.

Under new and old hatreds.

The whole stadium booed.

As soon as Sunshine gets the ball.

Real Madrid fans immediately booed.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo, a Real Madrid player himself, has experienced boos from Real Madrid fans.

How could they not boo a Real Madrid player who was just abandoned by a team?
But Yangguang is a person who gets more excited the more you boo him.

Real Madrid made a careless move and allowed Monaco to gain momentum, resulting in a very passive defense now - this is the Real Madrid of today. If it were the Real Madrid of the past "relying on Ronaldo for offense and Casillas for defense", Real Madrid's goal would have been breached long ago.

After the Mourinho era.

At least Real Madrid's offensive players will not just focus on attacking and make no contribution to defense - the two midfield cores Kroos and Modric have now returned to the front of the penalty area to defend.

Just like this.

Bale and Benzema in the frontcourt couldn't receive the pass from the backcourt for a while.

As for Vasquez, who finally got the chance to start.

Now it's to gain some impression points in front of Zidane.

The defense was very active, and they all returned to the full-back position to participate in the defense.

But Monaco's offensive was getting stronger and stronger.

The Monaco players were extremely excited to be able to attack the world's top team.

Especially Yangguang, he stood in front of the opponent's two central defenders.

Real Madrid players don't want to fight physically with these "country bumpkins" from Monaco.

The season is about to start, it would be a shame to get injured at this time.

Yangguang saw this and if you didn't want to fight physically, he would force the other party to engage in physical confrontation again and again.

This put Ramos under great pressure.

In La Liga, he often relies on his physical fitness to bully the opponent's forwards.

As a result, he now also feels that he is being bullied by others because of his physical fitness.

Yangguang pressed Ramos in the penalty area and used his body to create space for him to receive the ball.

He asked for the ball with his back to the goal - he was going to play one-on-one again.

Yes, post-up play.

This should be a professional term in basketball.

But now, he has made sunlight his ultimate weapon.

Yangguang received the ball and Ramos tried his best to hold him back and prevent him from turning around. In this situation, most centers would pass the ball to their teammates who were running behind. At this time, the defense needs to pay great attention to other attackers who are running without the ball.

As for the center forward who gets the ball, he just needs to hand it over to the central defender who is responsible for close defense.

B席 passed the ball directly to Yangguang, then he moved into the penalty area, preparing to cooperate with Yangguang in a two-on-one play.

Varane originally wanted to help Ramos defend, but he had to keep an eye on B Silva, because if Sunshine passed the ball and B Silva was unguarded in the penalty area, the situation would be very bad.
In the midfield.

Bakayoko and Lemar moved sideways in front of the penalty area, and Mbappe had already entered the penalty area.
These runs were not ineffective, they attracted the defensive attention of Real Madrid players - otherwise why is it said that everyone in modern football must participate in defense?

Once a team has a "privileged" person who does not need to participate in defense.

Then his teammates will have to run more to make up for it.

Now Bale and Benzema are waiting in front for the ball to counterattack.

The Monaco players created many passing routes for the receiving players through active running, forcing other Real Madrid players to defend and putting Ramos in a one-on-one situation with Sunshine.

How stressful is it to be one-on-one with Sunshine?

Just look at Ramos's reaction now.

He gritted his teeth, tensed his body, and held on to the sunlight.

And Yangguang put the ball under his feet and leaned back.

Ramos felt the opponent's strength and his heart skipped a beat.

really.

The next second, the sun's back suddenly left, and then...
boom!
Ramos crossed his hands and placed them in front of his chest to block the impact.

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Yangguang cross his steps.

This kid is turning around!

He hurriedly pressed forward again, only to be greeted by a sudden collision with his back.

Ramos was bounced half a meter away, and saw Yang Guang about to turn half way and sweep the ball towards the goal.

At the critical moment, Ramos fell to the ground in a hurry and made a tackle.

This is a very dangerous defensive move.

Tackles in the penalty area are basically a one-shot deal.

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.

Ramos' reaction was quick enough. When Yangguang pulled the ball over, he fell to the ground and poked the ball with his toes, sending it out of the baseline.

Then he took the opportunity to lie on the ground and gasp for breath.

"Sunshine... so close! Oh Ramos' crucial defense!"

"Ramos fell to the ground and poked the ball out of the baseline. This defense is very crucial!"

"The pressure that Sunshine puts on Real Madrid's defense is too great. Real Madrid must respond. They can't stay so passive!"

In the commentary booth, the Spanish commentator frowned.

Anyone with eyesight can see it.

Yangguang's move of pulling the ball under his feet and squeezing it with his body is very unstoppable.

This guy has a strong physical confrontation ability, and more importantly, he can hold the ball while confronting.
"Passive defense is not Real Madrid's style. Real Madrid needs to attack. As long as we push the opponent back on the offensive end, we can relieve the current pressure on the defense!"

In theory, this is true.

But Real Madrid still has to defend this corner kick first.

B Seat stood in the corner area and raised his hand.

Seeing this, Yangguang started to run forward.

Ramos and Varane both followed.

According to Monaco's previous corner kick routine, this ball might be kicked to the front point, allowing Yang Guang to shoot from the back of the front point.

However, Yangguang did not jump, but ran all the way to the front point.

B席 passed the ball directly.

It's not high, it's the ground.

"Tactical Corner Kick!!"

This unexpected change caused a brief chaos in Real Madrid's defense.

There is no ink in the sunlight.

He pulled the ball back the moment he caught it.

Kshen turned around!

Ramos reacted quickly and pounced on him immediately.

But just like before, Yangguang lowered his body's center of gravity slightly, stepped his thick thigh to one side, and knocked Ramos away with his hips, squeezing him behind him. At the same time, he half turned around and shot from the edge of the small penalty area!
The football stuck to the ground and went towards the far corner at an extremely fast speed, then hit the inside of the post with a bang and bounced into the goal.

Navas did make a save - the Costa Rican goalkeeper is known for his super fast reactions.

But his height is considered short for a goalkeeper, and he cannot control such a large area of the goal. Even if he makes a save, it is out of reach.
“One to zero!!”

"Sunlight!!!"

"Oh oh oh! There's no problem this time! The referee blew the whistle and pointed to the center circle, the goal is valid!!"

Ramos clutched his stomach, fell to the ground, raised his hands and protested loudly.

But the referee ignored his appeal and ruled the goal valid.

Because this time he saw clearly that Yangguang's hands were indeed motionless.
He took a step and turned around, his movements were very smooth.

Ramos took the initiative to bump into him, and ended up in bad luck
"Yang!! One to zero! Beautiful! Monaco scored! They took the lead in the twelfth minute of the game!"

"Except for one attack in the opening stage, Real Madrid was in a passive position for the next ten minutes!"

"It's incredible that the defending champions of the Champions League were dominated by the defending champions of the Europa League for ten minutes and even lost the ball!"

"Who could have thought of this? The powerful Real Madrid was suppressed by Monaco for ten minutes!"

Amid the roars of many commentators.

The scorer Zhang Ka raised his arms and rushed towards the corner flag area.

Here comes a long slide.

This made the Real Madrid fans in the stands even more unhappy.

They shushed the sun for ten minutes.

But they think that they can boo as much as they want.

How come you, Sunshine, are also a player trained by our Real Madrid Sports Academy. Now that you have entered the door of your old club, you are sliding on your knees?

Do you think you are Van Persie?

The boos from Real Madrid fans and the cheers from Monaco fans rang out at the same time, echoing over the stadium.

Monaco's players on the field and substitutes rushed over.

Everyone excitedly threw themselves on the sun and pressed forward, and the corner flag area became a sea of joy.

"Well done! Yang!"

"Ohhhhhh! Small angle burst shot! Domineering!"

"Hahahaha! Ramos has been traumatized by you!"

Everyone clapped their hands and cheered in the sunshine.

The Real Madrid players were somewhat silent.

Modric shook his head helplessly. This is how football matches are. If the game starts badly and the momentum declines, it is very likely that the opponent will take it away with a wave of attacks.

Originally they all thought this game would be easy.

Europa League champion?
Can the strongest team among a group of losers be compared with the Champions League champions?
They found out they were wrong.

How wrong it is.

"Don't just stand there, we have to attack!"

"Just a drop ball, push them back!"

“Get up, get up, get up!”

"GOGOGO!"

A group of Real Madrid stars clapped and encouraged each other.

Of course, losing a goal would not make them surrender.

After the game restarts.

The Monaco players finally felt the pressure.

Real Madrid was enraged by the goal conceded.

They launched a swift and violent attack.

In the 13th minute of the game, Bale got the ball and dribbled past Mendy, cut inside and took a long shot, which was an elevator ball.

The football fell quickly.

It hit the crossbar with a clang and bounced out of the baseline.

The Welshman put his head in his hands.

He almost helped Real Madrid equalize the score.

Although the ball did not go in, it kicked off Real Madrid's offensive frenzy.

They launched continuous offensives.

Pushed Monaco's formation back.

"That's it! That's it! That's the way it should be!"

"This is Real Madrid! This is Real Madryn!"

Real Madrid fans in the stands clenched their fists and cheered.

"Real Madrid underestimated Monaco's strength, which put them in a passive position in the opening stage. However, there is still time, and it was just a matter of losing a ball. Monaco's goal successfully angered Real Madrid, and now they have to bear the wrath of Real Madrid!"

"Now Monaco has to pray that they don't concede too many goals..."

The commentator of Marca Radio roared with his fists clenched in the commentary booth.

Sunshine decided to retract its comments on Real Madrid.

This team is very strong.

Very strong!
Especially their three midfielders.

Modric, Kroos, Casemiro.

Both offensive and defensive.

They can always pass the ball to dangerous places, and then let Bale or Vazquez continue to attack Monaco's defense.

For defense.

Bernardo Silva and Mbappe both returned to the backcourt.

In this situation, the sun can't even touch the ball.

Jardim came to the sidelines. Monaco's defense was under great pressure and the goal could be breached by Real Madrid at any time.

But in this crisis, there are also opportunities.

Jardim looked at the sun.

Yang Guang did not stay in the frontcourt waiting, but returned to the center circle, constantly moving his position, waiting for the opportunity to receive the ball.

Ramos stuck to him like taffy.

Sunshine scored a goal in front of him, so Ramos naturally would not give Sunshine an easy chance to receive the ball.

Just now.

Vazquez made a cross in the penalty area, and when Benzema was about to receive the ball, the ball was poked away by center back Germerson.

Fabinho receives the ball.

He quickly came under pressure from Modric.

Faced with the opponent's close pressure, he could only choose to pass the ball back to goalkeeper Subasic.

Subasic kicked the ball away.

The football flew high towards the center circle.

Sunshine moved quickly and occupied the landing point. Ramos put enough pressure on him behind him, but Sunshine stood still and stretched out his foot to stop the ball.

"Nice stop!"

There was an exclamation from the commentary booth.

Zidane on the sidelines touched his bald head.

"When did this kid learn to stop the ball like this?"

Zidane muttered.

If only the sunshine of the past had this skill.

He said that nothing could put away the sunshine.
With a strong body.

Yangguang protected the ball and waited for support from the back row.

At this time, B Silva and Mbappe rushed up from the left and right.

Sunshine turned slightly and swept the ball to the right with his right foot.

B Silva made a high-speed advance, with Marcelo beside him chasing closely.

B Silva felt the pressure from Marcelo behind him.

He knew that his speed was not as good as the other party's.

Now, just relying on the advantage of position, he can get the ball earlier than the opponent.

But what to do with the ball?

B looked towards the middle.

At this time, Yangguang was moving towards the right rib. His speed was not as fast as Ramos, so there was always a piece of taffy following him.

But at this moment, their eyes met.

The tacit understanding built up over a season allowed the two to quickly complete the silent communication.

The sunlight suddenly paused.

After catching up with the ball, B席 made a powerful cross with his right foot.

Sunshine's pause allowed Ramos to slightly break away from his defensive control over Sunshine.

And at this moment, the football has reached Yangguang's feet!
Before Ramos turned around to defend again, Yangguang knocked the ball with his heel, turned around, dribbled the ball towards the middle, and shot with his left foot from a distance of 30 meters from the goal!
Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas fell to the ground and dived sideways.

Catch the ball!
"Beautiful! Navas."

the Marca Radio commentator shouted.

But he was too happy too soon.

Because it's on the left.

A figure rushed forward like lightning. Carvajal behind him tried his best but could only see the other person moving further and further away.
Yangguang and B Silva had a lively game on the right side.

Mbappe on the left was temporarily ignored.

When the sun shines.

He's already picking up speed.

Navas just blocked the ball in front of him.

Carvajal knew he couldn't catch up with Navas, so he made one last effort - raising his hand to complain about offside.

Of course, it is impossible for Mbappe to stop and argue with the opponent about the offside issue at this time.

He adjusted his pace, faced the ball, and lightly kicked it.

The football flew over the head of Navas who had just made a save and was about to bounce back for a second save.

at this time.

Even if Costa Rica's goalkeeper is very good at saving shots, there is nothing he can do.
After scoring the goal, Mbappe turned his head and looked at the referee.

The referee blew the whistle without hesitation and pointed to the center circle.

Not offside.

The goal counts!!
This time it was Omar, the commentator of France 4 TV, who was shouting.

"Mbappe! Not offside! Two to zero!"

"Monaco is leading by two goals! It's only the 20th minute of the first half!"

"Twenty minutes, two goals"

The Real Madrid players were dumbfounded.

They were not mentally prepared for such a situation.

Zidane touched his head.

The opponent has a battering ram in positional warfare.

The counterattack was also so sharp.

It’s not unfair that Real Madrid fell behind by two goals.

He had told the players not to underestimate their opponents.

But unfortunately...these Real Madrid players are too proud.

Zidane returned to the coaching booth.

Maybe losing the Super Bowl isn't such a bad thing.

He turned to his assistant Betoni and said, "Fortunately it's just a Super Bowl."

Betony nodded solemnly.

Just a Super Bowl.

Real Madrid can afford to lose.

If this Super Cup match can serve as a wake-up call for the Real Madrid players who won the Champions League.

This ball
Losing is also valuable.

Zidane stood up again and walked to the sidelines, pulling Kroos to give instructions.

That being said, there is still time for the game.
Winning is better than losing.
