Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 321 - A Big Away Victory (Part I)
Real Madrid started playing cautiously, but soon understood what Arsenal meant, Arsenal were happy with the current score, and did not necessarily mean to win the game, if they did not attack, then the score of 1:1 could be the final score of this game. This means that Real Madrid will have to get a draw with another goal when they go to the Emirates Stadium next time.
For Real Madrid, which has one less person, this is not unacceptable, one less person to fight, and there is no manager, facing Arsenal, a super first-class team, Real Madrid's home advantage is completely negligible. But at this moment, Real Madrid can't be described in two words normal, a main defensive player was sent off at their home stadium, and the head coach was also expelled from the game, everyone in Real Madrid has a grievance in their hearts, the reason why they maintained a defensive posture after Pepe and Mourinho were sent off, mainly because of the fear of Arsenal's strength, and now Arsenal seems to be not enterprising, Real Madrid players can't bear it, they began to try to put the formation on the front and increase the offensive intensity a little.
Arsenal did not fight back hard against Real Madrid's temptation, they still maintained their original rhythm and seemed to want to keep the score 1-1 until the end. Their attitude was extremely intense for Real Madrid's players, and their self-confidence, which had been ravaged in the first half, was slowly restored, including Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, and even the likes of Diarra, who were more active in attack, even as Pepe was not sent off.
Sitting in the stands, Mourinho, who was guarded by two UEFA personnel, watched the game with a sneering smile, as if he was a little indifferent and a little cynical, but his heart was very gloomy and painful, if he was still on the scene, he would definitely not let the players attack so boldly, not to mention the current Arsenal, even if there is no Arsenal without Li Huan and Arshavin, the power of the counterattack is also very terrifying. But now it is difficult for him to control the situation on the field, two UEFA people are around, there is no way to make a phone call, even if he can send a note, there is no way to say it carefully, and the stadium is changing rapidly, he relies on the paper to transmit information too slowly, too simple, and now it is more dependent on assistant coach Karanka and the players' own sense of play, Mourinho now has a bad premonition, that is, Arsenal is likely to score again.
The development of the game was beyond Mourinho's expectations, and Real Madrid's players became more and more energetic, although there were only ten players, and the attack was impressive, and there was no lack of one person at all.
The Bernabeu fans in the stands also grew in confidence, and many Real Madrid fans wore white jerseys and white scarves and stood up to applaud their players, hoping that their team could play the spirit of Juanito in the most difficult time, overtake the score, and reach the Champions League final.
Real Madrid's performance was also impressive, with Cristiano Ronaldo receiving a pass from Kaka on the left flank, and he first ate Alexander with his speed. Song, who then used his body to speed up in the confrontation with Klich and shook off Klich's cross, Kaka and Ozil both flanked in the middle, but the ball was kicked out by Vermaelen.
Kaka does not let Ronaldo concentrate on the front, he returned from injury after more than 20 minutes of adaptation, more and more open, he dribbles in the middle than Ozil's threat is greater, although Ozil's skills are delicate, but the confrontation ability is poor, and Arsenal's midfield and backfield suffer a lot, and Kaka's technical confrontation experience and awareness are stronger than Ozil, Arsenal is also very jealous of Kaka, under the leadership of Kaka, Real Madrid's attack is no longer limited to the side, the combination of variants is more powerful.
In the 65th minute of the game, Kaka strode forward with the ball in the middle, Fabregas came to defend from the side, he wanted to stop Kaka's ball from one side, but Kaka changed direction slightly, so that Fabregas's steal missed, and the two had very brief physical contact because of Fabregas's unstable center of gravity and Kaka had the upper hand, Fabregas was squeezed so much that he almost fell, and could only watch Kaka go straight to the front of the penalty area with the ball.
Kaka's dribbling was crisp and unscathing, and after squeezing away Cesc Fabregas, he took a few steps, saw a gap between a defender and a goalkeeper, and immediately lifted his foot to shoot.
Kaka's long-range shots are quite famous, and in such a short period of time, Kaka still accurately chose the route of his shot. His shot flew between two Arsenal defenders, Vermaelen and Koscielny, and went to play a decent live ball. Goalkeeper Fabianski didn't see Kaka's action in front of goal, and by the time he saw it, it was too late, and the ball had already flown past him when Fabianski fell.
"Bang!"
Just as the audience was screaming and cheering, the ball hit the post and flew out.
Kaka looked at the ball flying out, couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, and then looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's so bad luck!" ”
Mourinho was already half-bowed when Kaka shot, and when Kaka hit the ball on the post, Mourinho's body seemed to be hit by the ball, froze for a moment, and then slowly sat down again, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Ka Ka Ka ......" The narrator almost got stuck, "Ah! I didn't even get in! Hit the goalpost! Bad luck, Kaka's foot wind is not right, such a good opportunity was not seized, after Kaka returned from injury, his shooting ability decreased slightly compared to the original, if it was his prime, this goal would have been scored. ”
Wenger and Arsenal's players were beaten by Kaka's shot, they were originally a plan to lure the enemy deeper, Real Madrid all cowered near the penalty area, although it was not easy to play without one person, and the referee Stark because he sent off a player and a coach of Real Madrid, in the next penalty to Real Madrid was obviously soft, several balls that could be blown were not blown, so Arsenal withdrew to attract Real Madrid. But they didn't expect Real Madrid to be so fierce, and they almost broke through their own door with only 10 men.
"No! Real Madrid can't be allowed to play like this, they have to suppress their attack. Fabregas said to Li Huan.
Li Huan looked at Wenger and made a forward gesture, Wenger also felt that Real Madrid's potential was amazing, nodded to Li Huan and Cesc Fabregas, and also made a forward gesture, agreeing with them to give up the tactic of luring the enemy deep and attack Real Madrid.
Arsenal immediately began to fight back, and Real Madrid's morale had just risen and they were not willing to back down again, and the game was set off again in the last twenty minutes.
The Real Madrid fans in the stands were once again aroused by the pride in their hearts of this bloody team, and they stood up and shouted: "It is better to die standing than to live on your knees!" Real Madrid forward! ”
The whole stadium is white-clothed and snowy, the atmosphere of the scene is exciting, the Real Madrid players on the field also feel the expectations of the fans, their pride and self-esteem as the Champions League kings are improving little by little, although there are only 10 people, in the face of Arsenal attack, they did not flinch, after winning the ball, they attacked aggressively, determined to fight with Arsenal at home.
“…… Kaka made a steal in the middle and broke through in the middle, and Ozil curled the ball with his right foot on the left side of the penalty area, and Fabianski saved the ball with one palm......"
“…… Dangerous! Li Huan cut inside and crossed on the right side, and Arshavin pushed the left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area arc to ......"
"Good shot! Klich crossed from the left, Van Persie played the ball, and Cesc Fabregas's low right-footed shot from the edge of the box was saved by Cassie............
The stadium reverberated with the applause of the fans and the rush of the commentators, and the game became more and more intense, and after the penalty of one man, Real Madrid played better.
However, the passion does not last long, the strength still has to play a decisive role, the last five minutes of the game, Real Madrid's players become the last of the crossbow, although Karanka used up the three substitutions, their physical strength still can't keep up with Arsenal who play one more man, every minute of the last five minutes is like a year for them.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Arsenal surrounded Kaka who held the ball in the front field, although Kaka's physical strength was no problem playing half-time, but now the pace of the game between Real Madrid and Arsenal is too fast, the confrontation is too intense, Kaka's physical fitness has been overdrawn in advance, and Kaka wants to divide the ball in the face of the siege, but the power of his pass to the side is a little small, and the ball is cut off by Arshavin.
It was very dangerous to break the ball up front, and the front of the Real Madrid penalty area immediately became full of vegetation, with almost everyone retreating towards the inside and outside of the box.
Arshavin broke the ball and quickly moved forward to find a shot on goal.
Li Huan, Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie all immediately dispersed to seize the most advantageous position in order to receive Arshavin's pass or shot.
Since this attack was the result of Arshavin's steal in front, it was difficult for Real Madrid to ensure that the defense was intact even if they returned to the defense. Arshavin has excellent experience and skills, and he has long seen the problems in Real Madrid's defense, and he specifically ran into Real Madrid's open space, trying to completely tear Real Madrid's defense apart.
Arshavin's goal was achieved, he shuttled between Real Madrid's defenders like a loach, and the Real Madrid players just couldn't grab or destroy the ball, and when they blocked Arshavin, Arshavin passed the ball, and he handed the ball to Li Huan, who had been following him. In fact, there are still many people who respond to Arshavin's side, but Arshavin believes in Li Huan more.
