Chapter 89 A Conversation With McManaman
At this time, Real Madrid coach Del Bosque, who was standing on the sidelines, was also helpless for Leverkusen's goal this time. As an experienced coach who has achieved many successes, he certainly knows the threat Kenny poses to Real Madrid's defense.
Carlos, Figo, Raul and others in Real Madrid's current lineup are all complete offensive players. As the signing of Figo handpicked by Chairman Florentino, Munitis and others have not yet fully integrated into the team. Into the lineup, but Bosque had to send them to play. Under such circumstances, only a few people such as Hierro, Pavon, and Makelele can really defend.
Although under Bosque's request, Real Madrid's players are generally able to return to the defense and attack, but most of the rest of the players have poor defensive ability and can only assist in the defense and cannot be alone.
But Real Madrid is in a situation where Ballack, Neuville, and Kenny are all at the same time. It is particularly important to defend Kenny first. This is also the case with Bosque's planned formation. Compared with an offensive frontcourt like McManaman, Guti, who is almost all-round, has excellent offensive and defensive skills and has the experience of the previous match against Kenny. Naturally, there is no problem. of.
But no one thought that on the day before the game, Guti's photos of him hanging out in nightclubs late at night were exposed by the Madrid media, which once caused an uproar.In fact, it is common for Real Madrid fans that Guti broke out such a thing. What matches his handsome appearance and uninhibited language is his profligate life and criticized nightlife.It can be said that he is the most diligent in changing girlfriends in the Real Madrid team. He is good at picking up girls, clubbing, and even beating and scolding fans. His improper private life has also brought him countless scandals.Even in an interview with "Rolling Stone" magazine that year, Guti once completely opened up: "I like sex, I like women like snakes, they are passionate in bed."
This has directly become the fact that although Guti has good dribbling skills and good header skills, the former coaches of Real Madrid, Valdano, Capello, Heynckes and Hiddink, did not take Guti into consideration. Included in the main lineup, and they are not in favor of reselling him, worrying that Guti will succeed in other clubs.
The sudden nightlife incident also forced Bosque to temporarily kick Guti out of the roster and send McManaman to play. He must not allow a mouse dropping to spoil a pot of soup at such a juncture. It is necessary to maintain his absolute authority in the locker room when big names gather.
But at this time, although Bosque has nothing to do with scoring goals, he is not in a hurry, because he believes that the stars who have spent a lot of money to introduce them will never let him down. At the same time, the balance of the lineup is maintained. The striker combination of Raul, Morientes and Munitis has proved its strength in the last game against Leverkusen. Figo and McManaman, The midfield pieced together by Makelele, after Makelele covered the front of the penalty area, Figo and McManaman can form a two-winged situation in the attack. Bosque believes that with this lineup, Will be able to knock on the door of Leverkusen.
Just as he expected, although the Real Madrid stars were angry and surprised by this goal, they did not have any tension or urgency at all, but launched an attack methodically after the re-kick-off.You must know that the Real Madrid stars at this time have already worked hard in other clubs for many years and have a good psychological quality. This situation will not have a big impact on them. They believe that they have absolute confidence in their own strength.
After Morientes gave the ball to Raul, he intentionally pushed towards the front of Leverkusen's penalty area. Leverkusen's lineup without high points is very comfortable for him, and Munitis is also on the sidelines. Tearing Leverkusen's defense, Raul held the ball and pushed forward while planning the next step.As the banner figure of Real Madrid, he has the absolute right to speak, but the same pressure he bears can also be imagined.
On the other side, Leverkusen, who took the lead in scoring a goal, launched a fierce fight under the boost of morale. Ballack rushed forward immediately. This is a battle between generals and generals!In the face of Ballack's grab, Raul showed his iconic sunny smile. He touched the ball slightly to the left and then rushed to the left with a sudden trip of his left foot.Ballack is naturally also a fuel-efficient lamp. He immediately followed up and intercepted. The lack of explosive power and absolute speed also puts him at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the physically strong Ballack.
As a natural shooter and goal machine, Raul certainly will not be obsessed with breakthroughs. Seeing that he could not get rid of Ballack, he simply continued to grit his teeth and ran to the upper left to attract more defenders. Sure enough, Happ saw this He also leaned over, seeing this scene, Raul was satisfied with his heel and gave the ball to McManaman behind him!
After McManaman received the ball, he directly accelerated towards the middle of Leverkusen. Kenny had already made an attempt to break the ball when McManaman started, but how could it be so easy?McManaman bypassed Kenny's defense with a light turn. Kenny was not annoyed when he saw the interception failed, but speeded up to keep up.He knows that his defensive ability is even worse than that of McManaman, so he doesn't care about one or two failures. The only thing he has to do now is to cling to McManaman to prevent him from having an easy time. Space with the ball.
But his idea fell through again. As one of the strongest players in England in this era, how could the former Premier League dribbler have a false reputation?
The ball under McManaman's feet is like a jumping elf, making it impossible for Kenny to intercept it. The free switching of the ball from the left to the right makes Kenny's heart shocked, what the hell, and this kind of operate?Compared with Kenny himself and other players I have seen, McManaman's dribbling has a particularly light and elegant feeling, giving Kenny a kind of lightness on the football field.
The football under his feet is no longer just a football. It can be said that it has become a part of his body. It appears so smooth and coherent in the process of dribbling the ball, just like he is running at full speed without the entanglement of the football.
