Chapter 728: Wait and see
When Yang Huan returned to the chairman stand of the Bernabéu Stadium, the second half of the match had already begun.
But what Yang Huan didn't expect was that at the beginning of the second half, Ancelotti's team changed the disadvantages of the first half and rushed forward boldly and even suppressed Southampton to the point where it could not move.
"Wow, you guys are really fat!" Yang Huan sat down with a smile and teased.
If Real Madrid dared to use this tactic in the first half, it is estimated that the game is now over.
This is also related to Real Madrid's player lineup.
Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale, they are the kind of players who need space to be able to play a threat. This makes Real Madrid have to counterattack tactics to give play to the advantages of these two players.
But if you press on and fight like this, Southampton simply retreats, restricting your space, and then waiting for an opportunity to fight you back.
Real Madrid attacked fast and pressed tightly. Southampton had no choice but to wait at this moment.
But is Ancelotti a fuel-efficient lamp?
As the head coach of Real Madrid, the Italian must also know his team very well, naturally know his own characteristics, and even made special arrangements.
Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Bielsa is also frequently commanding the players on the sidelines and adjusting tactics as if they are facing an enemy.
But in the fifty-sixth minute of the second half, Southampton finally broke away, revealing a flaw.
Or it should be said that it was Real Madrid that opened up the flaw.
Real Madrid scored to the forefront of Southampton's penalty zone, and unexpectedly dispatched seven players, all of them pressed out.
But even so, the Saints' defense is still quite tightly organized.
After Cristiano Ronaldo caught the ball in front, he had no choice but to bring it out and passed it back to Harvey Alonso who came up behind.
At this moment, even the live commentator at the Bernabéu Stadium exclaimed.
"God, even Harvey Alonso has entered the 30-meter area, and all eight players have come up. It can be seen that we are in a good position for this goal!"
The entire Bernabéu stadium also clearly felt this atmosphere, so the shouts were overwhelming.
As soon as Xavi Alonso came up, the entire frontcourt of Real Madrid followed the event.
Organized two attacks, trying to create threats from both sides, but Southampton defended both.
But at this moment, Xavi Alonso suddenly kicked the ball.
The ball passed through Tony Cross, and Benzema suddenly ran back from the penalty area to receive the ball before Varane.
The French forward is really good. He thought about everything the moment he received the ball, as if everyone around him was expecting him, stopping the ball, turning around, blocking Varane with his body, and squeezing his right foot. Start, volley!
The whole process happened in an instant, and it was done in one go.
When everyone reacted, Benzema's shot had already passed Neuer's hands, almost rubbed the crossbar above the German goalkeeper, and hit the goal line.
Dead spot, dead spot in an absolute sense!
Everyone was stunned!
After a few seconds of silence, the entire Bernabéu stadium woke up and burst into deafening cheers.
Florentino, who was sitting beside Yang Huan, smiled with excitement, clapping his hands vigorously.
Yang Huan was very depressed, because he had never expected that this goal could be scored!
But when faced with a team with super personal ability like Real Madrid, who can have any way to stop them from scoring?
This is the dignified Champions League champion, the king who aims to defend the title!
Even Bielsa, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his hands helplessly, a bit as if he was about to surrender to this goal.
But anyone, any team, there is really no way to score such a goal, right?
"I told them before that we are behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in La Liga this season, but in the Champions League, we have to do our best to fight for the title, haha..." Florentino also looks very excited. .
Both teams played at a very high level in a game, and the game was very dangerous and exciting.
It can be said that Real Madrid can complete a reversal, which is bound to greatly boost the morale of Real Madrid.
"Isn't there half an hour left in this game? Look at you like that, as if you scored the ball. As for?"
Yang Huan sat aside, curled his lips, and said something unpleasantly.
Florentino smiled more happily, "I said Master Huan, you can't eat more of this sour grape, it is not good for your health!"
After a pause, he said again: "Besides, isn't the value of superstars reflected here?"
On this point, he was right.
Superstars must have a flash beyond tactics!
Just like when Suarez faced Ramos just now, he calmly shook a gap in the penalty area and then hit the goal successfully.
It was like Benzema just now. Without a chance, he suddenly pulled in, kicked the door, and slammed into the dead corner to help Real Madrid reverse.
Obviously, none of these can be restricted by the coach's tactics!
"By the way, Master Huan, how did you study what we discussed just now?" Florentino asked expectantly.
Looking at the old fat man's expression, it seems that the team scored a goal, and his face bloomed.
Yang Huan looked at him like this and replied angrily, "If we win this game, I will promise you!"
When Florentino heard it, he knew it, and immediately laughed and said, "Then you probably have no chance!"
"Let's see!" Yang Huan was also unconvinced.
But if you are not convinced, you still have to affirm the strength of Real Madrid.
Regardless of Southampton’s strong lineup, facing no one, but at the Bernabeu Stadium, facing Real Madrid, Southampton is still very pressured, especially after the tragic reversal, the players are generally angry and want to hurry. Equalize the score.
Sometimes, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.
After Benzema scored, Southampton made a big counterattack, but Real Madrid simply took it back and concentrated on the defense.
As a result, Southampton’s offense failed to achieve the desired effect. Instead, it made a series of mistakes, but Real Madrid’s counterattack was very impressive. First, there was a very threatening header by Cristiano Ronaldo, and only again. Gareth Bale hit the post with a kick.
But at this critical moment, the experience of the veteran players comes into play.
When the surrounding teammates are obviously hot-headed, Ibrahimovic and Kaka are constantly calling for their teammates to be calm, even when Drogba, who is sitting on the bench, is warming up on the sidelines. Suarez was caught in a hurry, and he kept shouting to calm down.
Bielsa also quickly made substitution adjustments, directly replacing Modric with Matic.
This is a very rare substitution for Argentine lunatics to strengthen defense.
After Matic came on the field, Southampton's midfielder obviously had a double barrier. The first layer was the retreat Kaka and Tony Cross. Matic firmly controlled a large area at the front of the team's defense.
But for the old players, Bielsa did not move a single one, which shows that he attaches great importance to the old players.
It is this time that the substitution has allowed Southampton to regain stability.
In particular, Matic’s playing, well controlled and covered a large area of the front line of defense, coupled with the pressure and pressing of the entire midfield, makes it difficult for Real Madrid to effectively pass the ball into the threat area of Southampton. .
The defense has stabilized, no longer worrying about the opponent's threatening counterattack, and the offensive players in the frontcourt have become bolder, so the offense has begun to improve.
Although Real Madrid is also aware of the changes in Southampton, they have not made any adjustments.
In other words, in the frenetic atmosphere of the scene, Real Madrid is no longer willing to make adjustments, but wants to eat their opponents in one bite.
But in this case, Real Madrid gave Southampton a chance.
A long backfield pass from Harvey Alonso landed precisely to the front of Southampton's penalty area.
But this time, it is not Tony Cross that competes with Cristiano Ronaldo for the header, but Matic, who is tall and strong and is not afraid to compete with the Portuguese one-on-one.
Both leaped high and hit each other sturdily, but Matic pushed the header back to the midfield, but the Portuguese was squeezed to the ground and wanted to mix a penalty kick. The referee didn't even look at him.
The ball didn't fall far, Kaka kept his head up, predicting where the ball would fall, and then slapped against the ball, and an air relay came and pushed behind him.
Ibrahimovic firmly suppressed Pepe behind him with his body, and stopped Kaka's pass with his chest.
The strong physical advantage of the Swedish center is now manifested. After he suppressed Pepe, he stopped the ball, turned around, and passed behind him with his right foot. Pepe was behind Ibrahimovic and he just took him a little. There is no way.
The ball passed from behind Pepe, and Sancheston on the right in Southampton threw Marcelo away like a bolt of lightning and rushed towards Real Madrid's goal.
Ramos has always been behind Pepe to help defend, and he has already reacted to it and quickly catches up.
The large stadium saw the two competing for speed.
In the end, Sanchez rushed ahead of Ramos and stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area.
When Sanchez stopped suddenly, Ramos rushed a little too far, but the Spanish central defender reacted quickly, followed by a sudden brake, and pounced again, while also guarding Sanchez's left foot.
But I saw that Sanchez seemed to be prepared for a long time. He actually buckled the ball to the right, just buckling Ramos, facing the ball with his right foot, and gently rubbed it.
This kick shot at the front of the big penalty zone is not strong, the arc is not big, and even the ball speed is not very good, but it can't hold Diego Lopez's position forward!
Real Madrid's goalkeeper originally guarded Sanchez's single-handedly, and even stood near the penalty spot. Although he later retreated to the front of the small penalty area, he still failed to block the kick.
The ball passed over his head, fell, and hit the goal line!
Two to two!
The entire Bernabéu stadium became silent again!
I saw Sanchez waving his arms in excitement~lightnovelpub.net~ running backwards out of the court.
The teammates wearing Southampton jerseys rushed crazy and hugged the Chilean winger tightly.
This goal is indeed very exciting, it is nothing to say!
Whether it’s from Matic’s header clearance, to Kaka’s aerial relay, to Ibrahimovic’s body suppressing Pepe’s turn around, or Sanchez’s handling at the end, they are all very delicate and thoroughly reflected. Out of the extraordinary strength of Southampton players.
I believe everyone present will have a feeling that Southampton is using this goal to tell everyone that Real Madrid is indeed shining, but our Southampton is not bad!
To compare strength, we in Southampton will not lose to any team!
Including you, Real Madrid!
