Review of Real Madrid's 1-1 Manchester City: An Shuai's strategic layout is precise to offset Manchester City's advantage, and Haaland is missing again

Ahead of the second leg of the Champions League between Manchester City and Real Madrid, it was expected that the game would be intense and neither side would be able to make mistakes to provide opportunities for the opposition. After all, the real knife and gun competition in the first round was fierce and exciting enough, and the two sides did not dare to open and close again in the second round like last time.

However, it is obvious that in the case of retreating from each other and being slightly conservative, the team's ability and habitual routines have become the key to whether they can defeat their opponents. Just as many people criticize the national football team, "The training is usually good, but the game is over as soon as it arrives", how to play the training things and the routines that you are familiar with, that is the key.

On the Real Madrid side, counter-attacking on the flanks and linking up with the central side to direct the flanks and then insert them on their own initiative are their main strategies to make up for the team's embarrassment in the central striker position. This is also the reliable game arrangement that Ancelotti made for the team after a large-scale experiment. In La Liga, it is by this kind of arrangement that they have successfully gained a lot of advantages and maintained a reliable hold on to the championship.

Of course, watching people go down the menu is the key step. The fundamental reason for Ancelotti's arrangement is that he naturally has these manpower in the team to achieve his various basic and high-level requirements. The two-sided combination of Rodrygo and Vinicius, Bellingham's back-insertion, and Valverde and Kroos' interception and sweeping support in the middle, coupled with Camavinga's guaranteed echelon on the side, Real Madrid's routine practice is too secure, which is their confidence and capital.

Several goals in the first leg basically came from this, and although the team was still conservative in the second leg, Carvajal's quick counterattack and long pass, coupled with the cooperation of Bellingham and Valverde, and Vinicius and Rodrygo's quick lateral knock on the goal, they still took the lead in the score. This set of strategic deployment is really too Real Madrid.

Of course, Manchester City must be completely unafraid. Even if they are 1-0 down, they have unlimited chances to get back on the scoresheet. After all, they've seen it a lot this season. Manchester City's main design is to rely on the rapid linkage of the central midfield, and complete the goal with the guarantee of the advantage in the middle. After all, De Bruyne, Foden, Bernardo, and Grealish's quasi-10s still have excellent suppressive power and dominance advantages.

Even Real Madrid must be low-key in front of the blue moon. Through their skillful cooperation, the Blue Moon played 33 shots, 9 shots on target, and 67% control. However, the old question is still in front of Guardiola, who will put an end to it?

Haaland's play in this game still didn't work, and the chance for Manchester City to get back the score was created by Doku by eating it raw, in fact, even if it was "not a chance chance".

Overall, Manchester City is naturally the side with a relatively greater advantage. An Shuai arranged a counterattack and a side-lane strategy, and sometimes it was arranged out of desperation. However, after missing too many chances, Manchester City suffered defeat and lost on penalties, which was exactly the result. Sometimes, football is like that, even though you have the advantage to suppress the opponent, the winner is still the enemy.

What is the value of heritage? Here's the answer.
