Chapter 1117 Indirect Attack (Second Update Seeking Monthly Tickets)
There weren't many opportunities for crosses from the wings, but it was currently the only effective way to break through Real Madrid. If they slowly organized and penetrated from the middle, Chen Hero might not even get the ball.
As it was now, he at least had a chance to compete for the ball.
And the opportunity might very well be fought for in this kind of scramble...
Of course, it was difficult to score goals this way, but if he did, it would definitely be a beautiful goal!
Chen Hero was full of fighting spirit. The stronger the opponent, the more excited he became.
Real Madrid's performance at home was even better than he had imagined—he initially thought Real Madrid might underestimate them at their home stadium, but he didn't expect Real Madrid wouldn't. This instead aroused his desire to win. To defeat a Real Madrid that was giving it their all, so they couldn't even find an excuse after losing!
It had been a long time since he had scored a goal with this kind of brute force method, Chen Hero clenched his fists.
If I don't show my power, you really think I've retired?
That's right, I am indeed playing a technical style now, but that's also because I have reached the peak of the physical style, so there's no need to practice it anymore. I can take it out and use it at any time I want!
Just wait for my weapon of mass destruction!

Liverpool knew that Real Madrid was targeting their wing tactics, but they had no better way to do it other than this.
In order to avoid being blocked by Real Madrid on the wing, Liverpool's players had to increase the height and speed of their crosses.
This could bypass Real Madrid's wing defense, but it was not easy for Chen Hero, who was following up in the middle, to head the ball.
But they couldn't care about so much. Liverpool was now thinking of exchanging quantity for quality. If we cross ten balls, there will always be one that falls into an area that Chen Hero can reach, right?
Anyway, the cost of crossing from the wing is very low. When the ball reaches the wing, just pass the ball to the center. Liverpool can afford to waste it.
Unlike the kind of offensive method that is carefully choreographed, advanced layer by layer, and then passes many times in succession, finally tearing apart the opponent's gap. That kind of offensive method is too complicated. The more passes, the easier it is to have problems in the middle, and the higher the cost. Many times, such an attack may not form a shot at all, and is destroyed by the opponent in the middle, or they make a mistake themselves.
How simple is it to cross from the wing? Just three passes—one pass from the backcourt to start the attack, one pass to the feet of the winger, and one cross.
This process is simple, the number of passes is small, and the risk of being intercepted by the opponent in the middle is also reduced.
Although this kind of attack will make the teammates who are responsible for the central attack a little tired, Chen Hero is responsible for the attack in the middle for Liverpool! That kid doesn't know what fatigue is at all!
It's better for him to be tired than for us to be tired. The key is that we may not have any effect if we are tired, but if Hero is tired... the effect is very good!
※※※
The audience felt that this game looked very strange. It was expected that Real Madrid would shrink their defense. Nowadays, Real Madrid does this in key games. But isn't Liverpool's offense too disorganized? Even a fool can see that Real Madrid is defending against their wings. Why don't they know how to change their methods?
If this continues, Liverpool will lose the game sooner or later.
It seems that Liverpool has no ideas of their own at all. If this continues in the afternoon, losing the game is certain.
Liverpool fans were even more worried.
And Real Madrid fans were waiting to see the joke.
The commentator was also saying: "You can't just rely on this kind of play because you have a Hero who is excellent at heading the ball... Sometimes you need to be flexible. Look at this ball, look... it's so high, Hero will definitely not be able to reach it unless he grows two meters taller!"
He was talking about Suarez pulling to the wing to cross, but the ball was high and fluttering, and Chen Hero didn't even jump. He just looked up at it.
How could he possibly head such a ball?
The commentator was speaking out on his behalf, but he himself was not in a hurry.
Too few opportunities?
One is enough!
※※※
Twenty minutes passed, and the score was still 0:0. Real Madrid continued to shrink their defense. Although Liverpool's offensive looked very fierce, they did not score.
"Liverpool seems to be at a loss against Real Madrid. They have no other way to do it except for this simple and crude wing crossing tactic..." The commentator was saying when he saw Liverpool go to the wing again, and the ball was passed to Gareth Bale's feet.
"Look! Here it comes again!" The commentator's tone revealed a hint of sarcasm—how can you break through Real Madrid's goal by playing like this? What kind of team do you think Real Madrid is?
※※※
Gareth Bale got the ball on the left wing and started to dribble forward.
At the same time, Chen Hero in the middle followed and ran into the penalty area.
Pepe followed him all the time, and there was also Varane next to him.
No matter how you look at it, it's double insurance. Chen Hero won't be able to head the ball so easily. Besides, whether Bale can pass the ball well is another matter...
The three of them ran into the penalty area together. Bale had just passed the line of the penalty area. He pretended to cross, but Ramos in front of him remained unmoved.
It didn't look like it would be easy to shake off the angle for the cross.
Chen Hero suddenly stopped halfway through the run and stopped running forward.
After Pepe and Varane noticed this, they thought that Bale would pass the ball to where Chen Hero was now. This was a way to stop suddenly to shake off space.
Just as they were about to pounce back, they saw Bale forcibly accelerate and shake off a trace of angle, and he decisively passed the ball in!
At this time, Pepe realized that according to the trajectory of the ball and the location of the cross, the ball would not fly to where Chen Hero was now, but would fly to where they were now...
He immediately dismissed the idea of turning back to pounce on Chen Hero, but jumped up directly to clear the ball with a header!
At this moment, Chen Hero, who was still in the middle before, suddenly accelerated and ran towards the front point, heading straight for Pepe!
※※※
It must be said that Pepe's position was very accurate. As a world-class center-back, although he was a little irritable at times and a little short-circuited in his mind, his defensive ability was still beyond doubt. Pepe is probably the only person in the world of football today who can defend Messi one-on-one... Of course, his movements are more savage when defending...
Pepe's judgment of the landing point was very accurate, and his position was also locked, so this should be a foolproof defense.
Should be... right?
Varane behind Pepe didn't think so.
He looked horrified and shouted, "Pepe..." He wanted to remind Pepe to be careful behind him.
But Pepe couldn't hear him at this time.
His mind was full of the idea of clearing the ball.
Why was Varane so terrified?
Because he saw Chen Hero suddenly jump up and crash into Pepe!
Pepe was facing away from Chen Hero and didn't know what was happening behind him!
※※※
"Hero!!" The commentator's voice raised several degrees.
However, Real Madrid fans did not get nervous.
In their opinion, Liverpool's cross was still a very bad cross.
Gareth Bale passed the ball too close to the goal, and Chen Hero's position was too far back. By the time he adjusted his position and rushed over, it would definitely be too late.
Even if Chen Hero barely jumped up to compete for the header, he would still head it high like the ball he headed at the beginning of the game.
In that case, he couldn't control the direction of the ball at all. It would be great to be able to head the ball...
※※※
Gareth Bale's cross was very fast. In a flash, the ball had already flown to its position. Pepe was about to head the ball out of the baseline—this was the safest and most secure way to do it when he didn't know what was happening behind him.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt like the top of his head was darkening, and then he felt someone pressing down on his body, and the back of his head was hit from behind!
He didn't lose his balance because the impact was not strong, but he didn't head the ball because of it!
Chen Hero pressed on Pepe, his head stretched forward, and his body supported behind, almost forming the shape of the Arabic numeral "7".
This movement looks awkward, but it is very effective.
Chen Hero did not foul in this way, and he still headed the ball!
Yes, he headed the ball before the opponent, across Pepe!
This is a diving header!
This time, he didn't head it high again!
The ball flew straight into the goal from a very close distance to the goal, and although Casillas made a save, it was too late!
This goal came so suddenly that many people were not ready to accept it. The Bernabéu stadium did not immediately respond to this goal, but was silent for two or three seconds.
Then, the huge roar swept in like a flood that had broken through the dam, instantly engulfing everything it encountered!
※※※
"Hero! Hero! Hero—gooooooooooooooooooAL!!! A beautiful header! A key header! He scored the first goal for Liverpool, and Liverpool has an away goal! And in terms of the aggregate score, Liverpool is also leading!"
"Hero made Ronaldo's away goal meaningless!"
"Pepe didn't expect Hero to come up from behind and head the ball in before him! No foul, Hero didn't press anyone to foul! This is a very clean goal!"
"A goal turned the tide! Now it's Liverpool's turn to take the upper hand!"
"What did I say? In the air, Hero is invincible!"
The commentator instantly climaxed when he saw this scene.
After landing, Chen Hero raised his arms and punched the sky in anger.
Bernabéu, I'm here!
※※※
In the press box, the beautiful reporter who had interviewed Chen Hero and Cristiano Ronaldo before the game suddenly thought of what he had said to her before the game when she saw Chen Hero's unrestrained celebration.
"Two years undefeated? Then their good luck ends here!"
Could it be that Real Madrid's unbeaten home record in all competitions for two seasons is really because they haven't met Chen Hero before?
