Chapter 166: Real Madrid attacking in full force
Chapter 166 Real Madrid attacking with all its might
Zidane looked at the Real Madrid players on the pitch with some blankness on the pitch.
There is no doubt that the goal was fatal for Real Madrid's morale.
Now there are more than 30 minutes left before the end of the game, and this time seems to be plenty of time, and it is not difficult to chase two goals, but it is easy to say, and it is indeed not easy.
If these 30 minutes can't complete the reversal, Real Madrid's Champions League this season will stop there.
And if he fails to make a breakthrough in the league, Zidane will not stay in the Real Madrid position for long - even if Florentino supports it.
"There's still time!! We still have time!! The players need to stick together and now it's time for the most dangerous and difficult!!! ”
Spain's commentators are still cheering for Real Madrid, while fans at the Bernabeu are already waving white handkerchiefs.
This is a protest from Real Madrid fans at a time when they are dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the field.
Zidane quickly made substitution adjustments, replacing two people in a row at once.
Real Madrid's academy-graduate centre-forward Alvaro Morata, who was bought back from Juventus, stood on the sidelines and came on for Benzema, before Isco replaced Marcelo at left wing-back.
As a result, Real Madrid is left with only three defenders on the field, and Zidane intends to take all the plunge!!
"That's right, it's time to show our determination, Real Madrid need to attack!!" The Spanish commentator even felt that Zidane's substitution was too late.
However, Zidane's substitution adjustment did not have an immediate effect.
Substitutions have just been made, and the formation structure on the field has also undergone major changes, the back four has become a back three formation, in a hurry, Real Madrid's players still need to run in, and it is inevitable that there will be a lack of understanding.
And it was at the moment when Real Madrid had just completed the substitution that Manchester United keenly seized the opportunity and took advantage of the gap in Real Madrid's run-in.
Isco, who had just been substituted, was tackled by centre-back Marcos Rojo as he dribbled up front and then passed the ball forward to Di Maria.
Di Maria took the ball and turned around, and then passed the ball to Li Qingshan, who was in the middle circle.
Li Qingshan immediately felt the defensive pressure brought to him by Pepe and Ramos behind him after receiving the ball, and after he protected the ball, he passed it back to Carrick, who was in front of him.
Carrick had already observed the passing line before receiving the ball, he did not stop the ball, he kicked the ball up, and the ball flew forward in a low line in the air, and accurately found Di Maria who was cutting forward at high speed.
Li Qingshan did not lose time after passing the ball, he turned around directly and inserted it into the penalty area of Real Madrid.
Di Maria took the ball and pressed it slightly into the penalty area, and at this moment there was only Carvajal left as a defender in the Real Madrid penalty area, and Pepe and Ramos were restrained by Li Qingshan.
In the face of Di Maria, Carvajal did not dare to slack off, he leaned slightly sideways, kept a good distance from Di Maria, to prevent Di Maria from breaking through, his eyes were firmly on the football at Di Maria's feet, ready to step forward at any time to snatch the ball away.
Di Maria faced Carvajal one-on-one, and he looked quite confident, making a couple of feints in quick succession before finally leaning outward.
Carvajal's heart tightened, and it seemed that he was about to break through to the outside!!
His center of gravity leaned slightly to the outside, ready to jam the outside line at any time, but at the same time, he also left a hand to prevent Di Maria from suddenly changing his center of gravity and cutting inside.
However, Di Maria never thought about passing Carvajal one-on-one, and at the moment when Carvajal's center of gravity changed slightly, Di Maria pushed with his left foot and passed the ball to the other end!!
Mata is unmarked on the other side!!
Normally, Mata is in Marcelo's defensive area when he appears in that position, but Marcelo is now replaced, and there should be other defenders or midfielders to fill in the position, but it is clear that Real Madrid's players have not completely changed their thinking to a back three......
Juan Mata received the ball in the box and fired from a distance of more than 10 metres from goal.
Just then, Navas flew in and saved the ball bravely!
"Navas!! A world-class save !! The Spanish commentator said excitedly!
The stands at the Bernabeu also cheered for Keylor Navas's performance!
On the bench next to them, all the Real Madrid players jumped up from their seats and applauded Keylor Navas' save. Real Madrid could no longer afford to concede a goal at this time.
After the substitution, Real Madrid's goal was put to the test, which had to worry Real Madrid's supporters.
But fortunately, in the next game, Real Madrid slowly took the initiative, and their attack also improved.
In the 61st minute, Alvaro Morata, who had just come on as a substitute, had a chance to head the ball, but his header was slightly straight and was lifted out of the line by De Gea.
In the 63rd minute, Isco dribbled and slipped the ball to Bale, who shot from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball went just wide of the right post!
In the 66th minute, Isco crossed from the right side, Morata headed the ball in the penalty area, and the football flew to the left, and Ronaldo appeared on this side, which lifted the spirits of the Real Madrid fans in the stands!
"Cristiano Ronaldo !!!!!!!!!!!!"
The Spanish narrator screamed.
However, Ronaldo was still a step late, because he was a little late, he could only kick with his feet, and as a result, he kicked the ball high!!
"Ahh Cristiano Ronaldo missed a great chance to score!! ”
Before the Spanish commentator could regret the shot for long, Real Madrid's attack came again.
In the 69th minute, Bale crossed from the right, Kroos entered the penalty area, and shot from a distance of about 10 meters from the goal, and the football was slightly off!!
In the 70th minute, Isco crossed in the penalty area, and Ronaldo grabbed a shot near the penalty spot before Hummels cleared the ball, and the football was confiscated by De Gea!
In those ten minutes, Real Madrid created five shots on goal and each time looked very close to scoring, much to the horror of fans watching the game.
Real Madrid fans had to stand up and celebrate the goal on several occasions, and every shot from Real Madrid always caused an exclamation from the stands.
The fans of Manchester United raised their hearts to their throats, they watched the situation on the field nervously, and every time Real Madrid shot the goal, the hearts of Manchester United fans accelerated instantly!!
It seems that football is really a sport that is not suitable for people with heart impairments.
Carlo Ancelotti waved his hand from the sidelines to direct United's players back and make the Reds defence fall back a bit.
Now that the game is more than 70 minutes away, for Carlo Ancelotti, as long as they don't let Real Madrid score two goals in the remaining time, the team that will advance is Manchester United.
Italy's coach always thinks about defense at such times.
Carlo Ancelotti kept United on for the rest of the game and made substitutions to keep that in practice.
Herrera had already warmed up and he came on for Mata.
Replacing an attacking midfielder with a more defensive midfielder, Carlo Ancelotti continued to strengthen United's defensive depth in midfield.
In addition, the youngster Fusumensa has also started to warm up on the sidelines, and it seems that he will also be substituted soon.
With just over 20 minutes remaining, Carlo Ancelotti started to make changes, with Herrera coming on for Mata. It seems that Manchester United's task in the next period of time is to defend, as long as they withstand Real Madrid's onslaught in the last 20 minutes, Manchester United will advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League!! However, more than 20 minutes is not too short, and I don't know if Ancelotti will be conservative in making this decision? Duan Xuan said.
Li Qingshan understands Ancelotti's decision, but as a striker, the biggest contribution he can make to the team's defense is undoubtedly to score another goal.
As time runs out, it becomes more and more difficult for Real Madrid to turn the tables around.
However, it is not uncommon to score two goals in a short period of time, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou in Barcelona.
In that game, until the first minute of stoppage time, United were still 1-0 behind Bayern Munich, and the Champions League trophy was ready to be engraved with Bayern Munich's name.
But in stoppage time, the situation on the pitch changed dramatically.
The fourth official held up a sign signaling three minutes of stoppage time. UEFA President Renate Johansen stood up from the rostrum to get off the elevator to present the award to Bayern Munich, and as he walked in front of Manchester United legend Bobby Charlton, he said "sorry" to him as a sign of comfort, while UEFA staff had already begun to tie the ribbon in the colors of Bayern to the famous "Big Ears" trophy. German television commentaries began quoting retired England striker Gary Lineker: "Football is a very simple sport, 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes, and then the Germans win." ”
But it was then that United were awarded a corner through right-back Gary Neville's cross from the left, which was converted by David Beckham, and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel rushed into the opposition box to try to recreate the moment he scored with a miraculous header from years ago. At this time, Clever Tildersley, a famous British football commentator and a Manchester United fan himself, said on TV: "Can Manchester United score? They always score goals! Schmeichel's massive frame caused chaos in the middle of the box after the corner, but no one was able to get on the head, and Dwight York barely managed to get the ball back into the middle at the far post, but it was cleared by Bayern's defending Fink. However, the ball was not kicked far, and Giggs met the ball on the edge of the penalty area with a right-footed volley, but it did not hit the power, and the ball came to Sheringham just outside the small box. Sheringham swerved 180 degrees and fired into the bottom right corner of the Bayern goal, but Kahn was helpless as United equalised in the first minute of stoppage time after trailing for 84 minutes.
Bayern kicked the ball in midfield, and Manchester United cut off a long pass to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the left side of the field. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was determined to go down against Bayern defender Samuel Kufuor, but the cross was blocked and United were awarded another corner. Beckham whipped in a corner and Sheringham leaped high in the middle to get to the ball and the ball changed direction and fell to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the back of the six-yard box. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer volleyed the ball into the back of the net with his 'big toe', and Bayern defender Michael Tanat, who was standing at the back post, was helpless to watch the ball fly overhead. Tirdersley shouted excitedly: "Ole Gunnar Solskjaer won it!" "Manchester United has arrived at the holy land promised by God! (Promised Land)"
UEFA President Johansen only walked out of the stands at this time, and his first thought later recalled: "It's incredible! Those who lose are dancing, and those who win are crying! A number of Bayern players, including striker Jankel, central defender Kufuor and Mateus, who had been substituted before, could not accept such a brutal blow and collapsed on the spot, even crying and falling to the ground. Referee Colina even pulled up a couple of Bayern players who were no longer on their feet to let the game continue briefly, but the final whistle was soon blown.
At this time, the Spanish commentator was also quoting Kretze's commentary, but he adapted it slightly: "Can Real Madrid score?" Which of them can score? Especially on this pitch! ”
Maybe there's something really magical about this sentence.
In the 78th minute, Real Madrid once again burned the flames to the front of Manchester United's penalty area.
After Ronaldo receives the ball in front of the penalty area, he faces the defense of Hummels!
Cristiano Ronaldo picked up the ball with a very fancy move, ready to pick past Hummels and pick a pass to Alvaro Morata in the box.
However, Hummels came up with his arms a little wide open, and the ball hit his arm and did not pass in, but Hummels undoubtedly made a big mistake with this action.
"Handball !!!!!!!!" The Spanish commentator shouted.
A meter or so outside the box, Real Madrid's free-kick from this position will be a good chance to score!
Zidane slapped his arm and shouted wildly, and even the Real Madrid players on the bench rushed out and stood on the sidelines and roared.
The referee hesitated slightly, and in fact he was not quite sure whether the ball had hit Hummels' shoulder or arm in the moment of lightning.
Perhaps considering Real Madrid's home stadium, the referee hesitated for a moment before the whistle sounded belatedly.
Hummels handball foul!!
Real Madrid won a free-kick from a great position!!
