Chapter 257
The only thing that made Xu Ning feel sorry was Isco!
Compared to the thunder of the BBC combination up front, Isco can only make a fuss in midfield if he wants to get playing time.
And Ancelotti, like Jose Mourinho, still trusts Alonso and Khedira's midfield combination.
This meant that Isco could only grab the last midfield spot.
But in this position, he has too many competitors.
Di Maria is fast and has a strong assault ability, and Isko really can't compare to this point;
Although Ilya Ramendi is more often used as a sapper, he is also able to attack and defend well, and his strength is not bad at all;
Plus a Modric, who has already been identified as Alonso's successor;
Even if he joins Real Madrid with the Champions League title, Isco will still struggle to get consistent playing time.
Perhaps, for Isco, being an absolute attacking core in the middle and upper reaches is the best fit for him to play his strengths.
Once you enter the giants, it is as deep as the sea!
......
The two teams lined up in the tunnel and were led by the referee into the stadium to begin the pre-match ceremony to the cheers of the fans.
Captain Kompany was as lucky as ever, rarely losing on the side of guessing, and this time he also won Casillas.
The evening game doesn't involve harsh sunlight, so it doesn't make much difference which side you play first.
The players on both sides stood in their respective positions and waited for the referee to blow the whistle.
Xu Ning's eyes were on the Real Madrid players and thoughtful.
Before the game, the comparison of the values of the players of the two teams made Xu Ning very interested for a while.
The data of Dezhuan is actually only a measure of the player's own competitive factors and age factors, and does not consider the premium of the player itself.
If you use virtue as a reference when buying people, it is not very suitable.
But if you simply measure the strength of both sides, it is of great reference value.
According to the pre-match prediction of the starting value of the two teams, Manchester City's starting line-up players are worth a total of 430 million euros.
Of course, among them, Xu Ning alone reached 200 million euros, almost accounting for half!
Real Madrid, on the other hand, is a little higher than Manchester City, reaching a staggering 500 million euros.
Of the total value of 500 million euros for Real Madrid, the BBC combination in the front court also exceeds 200 million euros.
However, because Real Madrid's starting lineup is different from the media's previous predictions, Di Maria, who is worth up to 65 million euros, did not start, and was replaced by Ilya Ramendi, who was worth 20 million euros, so the value of Real Madrid's starting lineup should be 455 million euros.
Only 25 million euros higher than Real Madrid!
Considering Xu Ning's extremely high proportion of Manchester City's total value, there is still a certain gap between other positions in Manchester City and Real Madrid.
But even so, the overwhelming majority of pre-match public opinion still believed that Manchester City could win the title.
Competitive sports, it's not like you can win if you have a high team value.
Is Barça worth much?
A Neymar is almost worthy of Cristiano Ronaldo + Bale.
The Barça team is worth not only more than Manchester City, but even higher than Real Madrid!
But the result?
Two legs of the semi-finals were played by Manchester City without temper!
Messi and Neymar combined are not enough to be cruel!
A 200 million euro Xu Ning, kill everything!
At the moment in the Real Madrid squad, what interests Xu Ning more is actually Bale and Ramos.
It is quite possible that these two are the biggest threat to Manchester City in this game.
This is Xu Ning's first time playing Bale, so the post-match exchange of jerseys has been booked.
Bale joined Real Madrid at a very high price last summer, and although he was injured for a while, the key game was definitely worth the transfer fee.
Especially in the Copa del Rey final against Barca, Bale played the famous scene of his career.
Eat Baltra raw!
Overtaking on the outside road, obviously one position behind, after overtaking like a full scimitar, directly crushed Baltra at speed, and then attacked the Barca goal.
Just this Copa del Rey trophy, the money to buy Bale is not a loss.
With Cristiano Ronaldo injured and it is difficult to say to what extent, Bale is undoubtedly Real Madrid's sharpest knife.
Moreover, Real Madrid were meant to fight back, and it is difficult to predict how much damage Bale's speed can cause.
And Ramos's threat is that he is good at driving backwards!
The set-piece must be an opportunity that Real Madrid will not miss, and a variety of set-piece tactical designs will definitely have a tilt towards Ramos.
It is very likely that the positional battle will not break the Manchester City goal, but let Ramos use the corner kick or free kick opportunity in front to blast the Manchester City goal with a header!
Xu Ning could repeatedly remind Vincent Kompany and Van Dijk, who started the game, several times before the game to be careful with Ramos' headers.
As for whether the two people can listen to it, it is not something Xu Ning can grasp.
Anyway, as long as the back defense is not completely kicked into a sieve by Real Madrid, Xu Ning is still sure.
After all, his attack, he doesn't think Real Madrid can be prevented.
Even if the last two teams give up defending and fighting for attack, it is nothing more than when competing for offensive efficiency, who will they be afraid of?
......
The referee blew his whistle, and amid the cheers of the audience, the much-anticipated pinnacle duel officially began.
Cristiano Ronaldo gave the ball to Benzema, then fired two arrows from Bale and rushed towards the heart of Manchester City.
After Benzema passed the ball to Modric, he also ran at high speed towards the Manchester City half.
Obviously, this is an opening raid.
This is probably the tactic that many teams choose when they face Manchester City.
Although the probability of success is not large, it is obviously more likely to score a goal while Manchester City are not firmly established than opening up the attack.
Manchester City also have psychological defenses, after all, the opponent has done this more times, and they will summarize the reasons.
Modric took a long pass, and Ronaldo confronted Van Dijk, but I don't know if it was because of the unhealed injury, and it was obvious that he was a little intimidated.
The ball was snatched by Van Dijk and headed to Zabaleta on the wing.
The Argentine full-back saw that there was a long distance in front of him and simply ran forward with the ball.
It was not until he encountered the defense of Ilia Ramendi that he chose to give the ball to Yaya Toure, who received him.
Now, it's Manchester City who start slow control in midfield.
Real Madrid have established themselves in the central midfield, and even Benzema and Bale have turned back and run back to participate in the midfield press.
In Real Madrid, only Ronaldo has the right not to participate in the defense.
Of course, Ronaldo is not completely unwilling to let go, and he is more active than anyone in the front court, so you can often see the embarrassing picture of Ronaldo being beaten by his opponent.
Xu Ning and Dzeko rushed into the Real Madrid penalty area, and Varane and Ramos were like big rivals.
However, with the absence of commanders such as David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne in midfield, it is inevitable that City will hit the ball on the wing again.
Nasri crossed the ball and was held in Casillas' arms, and City's attack, which did not pose any threat, was hastily ended.
