Chapter 205: Semi-finals
Chapter 205 Semifinals
When Casillas saw the ball falling, it was too late to react.
His final wave was like a surrender ceremony.
Real Madrid's meritorious captain surrendered to Li Qingshan.......
No one would have thought that Li Qingshan, who has always been a reckless man with a strong miracle image, would suddenly kick such a very skillful elevator ball!
Even Li Qingshan himself didn't expect that he could complete it so perfectly, whether it was the angle, speed, or timing of the fall, he was very perfect.
"World Wave!! Shocking!! What a beautiful direct free kick on goal!! ”
"Let's take a look at this wonderful Tomahawk goal from all angles! The ball went straight into the sky and then suddenly fell after the end, and the ball was so fast that Casillas couldn't react at all! ”
"In the 68th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid led Real Madrid 2-0 away! They are already 4-1 ahead on aggregate, and Atletico Madrid has surpassed Real Madrid in terms of away goals! This means that Real Madrid will only be able to score four goals in a row in less than twenty-five minutes, which is obviously impossible! Atletico Madrid has sealed the win! ”
"Li Qingshan's goal pushed Real Madrid to a dead end!!"
There was a moment of silence at the Bernabeu Stadium as the ball flew into the goal, followed by loud boos. Of course, there was also the cheers of the Atletico Madrid fans, and the whole stadium was churning like a pot of boiling water.
Li Qingshan had a strong premonition after completing the shot, and this goal would definitely be scored.
Many strikers have this feeling after finishing a shot, and this kind of mystical thing is difficult to explain, it can only be said that it is the player's "sense of smell".
He knew that the goal gave Atletico Madrid a fairly advantageous form, he didn't run to the stands, he didn't run to the corner flag area, or to the coach's box, to the bench. He stood there, fist claming and pointing to the sky until he was overwhelmed by the swarming teammates.
"It's so beautiful! Plum!!! ”
"I can't believe my eyes, what else can't you do!!"
"I taught it, I taught the elevator ball!!" Antoine Griezmann's final struggles were eventually drowned out by the excited shouts of the Atletico Madrid players.
In stark contrast are the frustrated Real Madrid players, who have now been completely cornered, and everyone knows that there is little hope of a comeback.
James Rodriguez stood on the pitch with his waist in his hands, looking helplessly at the Atletico Madrid players who were celebrating wildly in front of his eyes. After he came on, Real Madrid created a succession of chances, but failed to take them. Instead, Atletico Madrid scored first.
Zidane was in a state of rage after the ball was scored, but his fire had nowhere to vent, who could he be angry at?
Complaining about Ramos fouls?
If Antoine Griezmann manages to lead the ball into the box in that position, the probability of scoring a goal is much higher than if he gave the opponent a free kick!
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Ramos's choice.
So complain about Casillas?
Even Zidane had to admit that Li Qingshan's shot was indeed quite amazing, and the goalkeeper couldn't be blamed for such a conceded goal.
So Zidane could only get angry at the air....
However, after a brief period of disappointment, Zidane quickly regained his spirits. As a manager, you have to be the calmest guy in the team.
Scoring four goals may seem too difficult, but it's not impossible.
If even Real Madrid themselves give up, then this is really impossible.
As soon as the game resumed, Real Madrid went on the attack. Real Madrid's attack still relied mainly on two wings. And now they need to score, so they have abandoned some complicated tactics and created crosses directly through quick passes from the wings.
Real Madrid's two full-backs have been completely kicked into the winger position, and Cristiano Ronaldo received the middle and completely let the wing go to Marcelo.
Real Madrid's two full-backs, with the help of two midfielders with considerable passing and dribbling ability, were frequently given space to cross from the flanks.
Real Madrid's attack is unstoppable, and it has the flavor of success or failure. For them, those last twenty minutes are the last time to save their season and be able to work hard.
At this time, Real Madrid is not qualified to think about such things as "what if we lose the ball".
All they can think is "we have to score, score, score, score!" ”
Cristiano Ronaldo is working hard to find opportunities. Of course, he thought so, too.
In the 78th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo finally got a chance, Marcelo inserted and provided an assist, passing the ball to Ronaldo's feet, Ronaldo shot directly into the corner of the penalty area, and finally the ball flew over the crossbar.
As the team's number one, the number one star, he has to step up when the team needs to attack.
Ronaldo regretted a little that the goal was not scored, but he soon turned back to prepare for a second chance. As one of the best stars on the planet, he was destined to have an unrivalled heart and the need to reclaim the four-goal gap didn't make him give up.
A few minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo had another chance, only to find his header deflected wide again by Miranda.
Although the goal was a little outrageous, the fans at the scene immediately applauded Ronaldo's performance. What Real Madrid needs now is to shoot, keep shooting!
The Bernabeu fans are no longer bothered to boo their players, and they certainly know what the situation is for Real Madrid right now. So these "aristocratic" fans worked hard to create a frenetic atmosphere, and the entire Bernabeu stadium was like an erupting crater.
In such a frenetic home atmosphere, Real Madrid's attacking tempo is getting faster and faster, and the pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense is also increasing.
However, at this moment, Atletico Madrid is the time when morale is at its highest, as long as the opponent does not score four goals in this more than 20 minutes, Atletico Madrid will advance to the top four!
Encouraged by this belief, Atletico Madrid's defence has also become more resilient, and no matter how Real Madrid pass the ball into the box, it can always be cleared by Atletico players.
However, Real Madrid have been relentless in creating crosses – tactics that have not been successful enough but can create plenty of potential scoring opportunities in a short period of time. When it was on the verge of desperation, the Galactic Battleship also had to pray for the favor of Lady Luck.
In the 79th minute, Real Madrid's persevering cross finally paid off.
Carvajal swept the ball past Atletico Madrid with a low low ball from the wing.
Siqueira, who was defending in the penalty area, touched the ball but accidentally touched the ball in the direction of the goal, and this kind of powerful sweeping pass in front of the goal can often receive such an effect, and whoever touches the ball in the penalty area may touch the goal.
Oblak subconsciously reached out and blocked the ball back into the box, and in the chaos, the ball was hit into the goal by someone who didn't know who reached out.
In the end, the scorer would also need a slow-motion TV broadcast to be recognizable.
In a crowded box, attacking and defending players are crowded together, and there is hardly any room to shoot with their feet.
The ball was first stabbed in front of goal by Ronaldo's swing calf, hit Godin's body, and bounced off Isco's shin guard and bounced into the goal.
Even though the ball hit Isco, the ball ended up on Isco's head.
Carvajal crosses low.......... Oh oh oh !! There was chaos in the penalty area........... The ball went in!!!!! ”
The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium finally really boiled over at this moment, and all the Real Madrid fans jumped from their seats when they saw the football fly into the net!
The fans were celebrating the goal, but the Real Madrid players didn't care, and the moment the football rolled into the goal, Ronaldo rushed into the goal, scooped up the ball and ran towards the center circle.
They need to score three more goals!
Time is running out for Real Madrid, it's really not much.
For Atletico Madrid, they no longer think about how to attack, they just think about how to drag the last ten minutes over.
After the restart, Atletico Madrid passed all the way back and finally drove forward with a big foot from Oblak.
At this time, the player who stayed in the front field of Real Madrid was only Li Qingshan, even Griezmann did not pass half the half, and all the players of Atletico Madrid were tightly guarded in their own half.
And Li Qingshan's task is just to protect the ball as much time as possible and delay a little longer.
Despite Real Madrid's successful goal, the Atletico Madrid players were not too frustrated as they were still far ahead.
Li Qingshan stopped the ball, he knew that it was no longer realistic to get the support of his teammates at this time - Atletico Madrid was now trying to use the safest and safest way to drag this last game time past.
Ramos rushed up from behind and hit Li Qingshan, trying to make him lose control of the football. Which Cheng thought that this collision not only did not hit Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan was already prepared when Ramos rushed up, and when Ramos collided, he also exerted his strength violently, so that Ramos not only failed to shake Li Qingshan in the slightest, but his center of gravity was lost at once, allowing Li Qingshan to easily complete the turn.
Kroos also rushed back at the moment, and with Casemiro substituted, the only Real Madrid player who could provide a solid defense in midfield was Kroos.
Of course, Kroos is still not as hard as Li Qingshan.
After seeing Li Qingshan and Ramos face off, Kroos realized that this was his chance to break the ball. He rushed forward violently, trying to separate Li Qingshan from the football.
Thinking that Li Qingshan pulled the ball back, he made him pounce, but it hit Li Qingshan instead.
And Ramos, who was behind Li Qingshan, also happened to come over with a sliding shovel and wanted to shovel Li Qingshan over, but it just happened to collide with Kroos, who fell.
Li Qingshan took the opportunity to take the ball forward and got rid of the defense of the two.
When the commentator saw Li Qingshan suddenly pass Ramos and Kroos, what did they have a premonition........
Also feeling the danger was Real Madrid's other centre-back, Raphael Varane, who strode forward, but Li Qingshan could not let go of such a golden opportunity.
A few steps with his left foot caught up with the football, and he stepped firmly on the side, and then he picked up his right foot and volleyed vigorously from a distance of more than 30 meters from the goal!
Casillas took off sideways almost as soon as Li Qingshan shot, stretching out his arms and flying towards the football.
He did pounce on the ball, and he could even feel it with all five of his fingers.
But the ball speed was too fast, and the football only changed direction slightly after hitting his hand, which did not affect the football and hit the net behind him!
"Oh my God!!!!!!!!! It's Li Qingshan again!!! Classic Li Qingshan-style goals, continuous physical confrontations, and then a violent long-range shot from a long distance!! ”
After the shot, Li Qingshan knocked Varane, who rushed up to block, into a mess, but he didn't feel it at all. Li Qingshan crossed his hands, pushed Varane away, and then rushed to the corner flag area, a long sliding kneeling celebration.
At this time, his teammates were in their own half, and no one could stop him from completing this ultra-long sliding kneeling.
It wasn't until he knelt on the pitch and roared that the other Atletico Madrid players rushed up and threw him to the ground.
With no suspense left, Real Madrid will no longer be able to boost their morale and attack.
Three to one!
Five to two on aggregate, Atletico Madrid has three away goals!
If this can be overturned by the opponent, the Atletico Madrid players on the field can find a piece of tofu and kill themselves.
At this point, the camera finally found Simeone in the stands.
Simeone jerked off his headset, then stood up and raised his arms in celebration.
"Haha, sure enough, Simeone was indeed there. It was at such times that he celebrated unscrupulously. ”
The Real Madrid fans at the scene were not even in the mood to boo Simeone. When Real Madrid had just scored a goal and was about to get up, Li Qingshan once again penetrated the goal of Casillas' handle with an unreasonable shot.
Real Madrid have only 10 minutes left in the Champions League this season, and they are unlikely to be in the semi-finals.
And in the league, their hopes of a comeback are only theoretical.
At present, Real Madrid only has the Copa del Rey left, and it is possible to compete for the championship. If all four are empty this season, it seems obvious what the future of rookie coach Zinedine Zidane will be at Real Madrid.
In the next ten minutes, Real Madrid once tried to attack to save some face, but they could not break through the Atletico Madrid goal.
1-3, Real Madrid lost at home to Atletico Madrid and were eliminated from the Champions League.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, remain in the Champions League and will be waiting for their semi-final opponents after the results of several quarter-final matches!
