Chapter 517: The Fierce Second Half

Anyway, Real Madrid is now the leader, they have the capital to control the rhythm, while the lagging Arsenal can only catch up.When they find that time is running out and their deficit has not yet been leveled, it will be profitable for Real Madrid.

And by that time, Arsenal's physical strength was running low.Although Li Zihan only played in the second half, when all the Arsenal players were exhausted, Li Zihan couldn't afford to turn the tide.

Ancelotti does not believe that Arsenal's defensive end can be as good as Li Zihan's personal performance!
"I think Lee's goal reminded the Bernabeu fans of Lionel Messi, the striker of their arch-enemy Barcelona. Thinking of Henry, the unconventional Arsenal made team history and broke into the Champions League final. In addition to the same performance that the patchwork defense line suddenly opened up, there was also Henry facing Bayern. In Munich, he used his personal ability to drive the ball from the center line all the way to Bayern Munich's penalty area, and then scored the only goal in the game, and finally eliminated the mighty Bayern Munich." The commentators of various TV broadcasts were still intoxicated by Li Zihan's In that goal.

But at this time, it has been 5 minutes since that goal, which shows how wonderful Li Zihan's goal was.

The more exciting the goal, the easier it is to be talked about by fans and the media!

Ancelotti obviously had the foresight. After Li Zihan's goal, Arsenal's attack became more violent.The two flanks formed by Li Zihan and Chamberlain were like taking stimulants, constantly impacting Real Madrid's second half.Coupled with Ozil who passed the ball well, Giroud who was the high point in the center and Wilshere who played the "assassin" in the back, this made the Real Madrid players bear Arsenal's attack for several minutes.There is also Ramsey, who stays in the backcourt to intercept and defend Real Madrid's counterattack, and suddenly jumps in with a long shot every now and then.

This made the Real Madrid players feel a little aggrieved.

After Real Madrid controlled the ball in the midfield, they were not stable. Li Zihan, Chamberlain and Wilshere's tight frontcourt made it difficult for them to control the ball. They lost the ball twice in their own backcourt. .

Chamberlain was originally born as a full-back and a full-back, and he is very good at defending and pressing. Li Zihan used to not know how to defend, but at Arsenal, he not only made up for his weak body, but even defended. That's it, plus Wilshere, who doesn't know how tired and is chasing the ball everywhere, for a while, Real Madrid has already passed the halftime
"This is another unconventional Arsenal. The seemingly unreliable defense made the powerful Real Madrid not score a goal in more than 50 minutes, and even had only two threatening shots. It will be even more exaggerated in the second half, Real Madrid can't even pass the half, you know they are Real Madrid, this is the Bernabéu stadium!!!"

"Is this still Arsenal? Is this still Real Madrid?"

"If you don't look at the jersey." The famous BBC commentator Mosent hadn't finished speaking, and the famous English football star Gary Lineker, who served as a guest, said: "You would think that it is Arsenal who can't pass the half-time. And the full-court press is Real Madrid."

When the game came to No. 60 minutes of the game, Ancelotti felt that it could not go on like this.This is not Real Madrid's style. Of course, the opponent's pressing is too hard.

Many people say that Arsenal lacks the iron temperament like Chelsea. In the face of the opponent's frontcourt, it is urgent to force the high position, etc., and often shrinks.But today, Arsenal uses many small and medium teams to deal with their tactics like the opponent's Real Madrid.
After looking at his arms, Ancelotti felt that time was almost the same, and Arsenal's morale at the stadium now also dropped a bit.So Italian fat old man stood on the sidelines, whistled, and waved his hand.

Real Madrid's attack begins.

Benzema began decisively deep into Arsenal's second half, ready to respond, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the sideline, Di Maria and Bale switched positions, the Argentine wing went to the right, and Bale came to the center.

Obviously, Ancelotti's arrangement is also the same as Arsenal's, combining the side and the center.

When Cristiano Ronaldo cuts inside and has a chance, he hits the goal by himself. If there is no chance, he will hand the ball to Benzema or Modric in the backcourt. Prepare to meet the side split in the middle.Benzema is low on Arsenal's defense. If the French center has no chance, he will help Bell behind him create a chance.

In the frontcourt, Cristiano Ronaldo, Bell and Di Maria interspersed with running positions, using running positions to pull Arsenal's defense.

Facing Cristiano Ronaldo is the Arsenal right back French veteran Sagna. Knowing that he has many opponents in terms of speed, the Frenchman did not go forward to assist, but has been waiting for Christie in the second half. Jarno Ronaldo, he didn't even cross the halfway line today.

Chamberlain also received Wenger's instructions. When the team is defending, he must retreat and follow the opponent's core player Cristiano Ronaldo.Chamberlain has speed and body, and Sagna has experience and technology.This old and young league defense actually made the Portuguese a little bit "stretched".
In such a situation, Marcelo couldn't stand it anymore.He followed up decisively on the wing, trying to use his running forward to attract the firepower of Arsenal's wing defense and create space for Cristiano Ronaldo.Even if the creation of space is unsuccessful, he can get opportunities, and the Brazilian with a knife guard is as good on the offensive end as he is on the defensive end.

But Marcelo's frontcourt assists have advantages and disadvantages, and the advantages are not much. The disadvantage is naturally the large space behind him.

So the next game, whether it is Real Madrid or Arsenal fans, is highly tense and focused.

"Cristiano Ronaldo cuts in from the side, he's tight by Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sagna, it's a targeted defense by Arsenal. Marcelo puts in behind and Cristiano Ronaldo puts the ball in It went to the Brazilian full-back."

"Arsenal's side is empty!! The defenders have been taken wide by Cristiano Ronaldo. This is Real Madrid's chance. Marcelo made a cross!!"

"Benzema!!! Header!! Very beautiful lion shakes his head, but unfortunately, it hit the post."

"Follow-up Welsh flying wing Gareth Bale made a supplementary shot!! Maurice Bale!! Well done, the long legs blocked the opponent's shot, Bell previously played for Arsenal's north London city rival Thor Turnham Hotspur, so Modesat knows Bale quite well, and the two sides have played against each other a lot in England!!"

"Ramsey made a big clearance!! Wait no, it's a pass!!"

"Real Madrid's backcourt is empty!! They pressed too high, and the wing gave Arsenal an opportunity. Whether it's Marcelo on the left or Ramos on the right, they are unwilling to be lonely. "

"Lee!! He got in quickly, took advantage of the gap behind Ramos to receive the ball, and quickly dribbled the ball into the heart of Real Madrid. Although Ramos chased back very hard, he was not Lee's speed at all Opponents. Even Chamberlain and Bale, who are known for their speed, can't outrun each other, and Ramos can only look at the back of the Arsenal red NO.12 jersey."

"Real Madrid is in danger! Arsenal are at it again!!!"

"Marcelo gave Chamberlain the same opportunity in the first half, and it was Ramos' turn to Li Zihan in the second half. Real Madrid's defense really doesn't have a long memory. Facing Li Zihan and Chamberlain, the counter-attacking horse Hurry up, they dare to press so far!!"

"Pepe charged towards Li once again. The Portuguese was vicious. It seemed that he was a little...displeased with Li Zihan, who had easily passed him before!!"

"Li Zihan speeds up the ball. Passes the foul!!"

"Facing Li's 'China high-speed rail' average speed, Pepe had no choice. He used a tactical foul to put the opponent away."

"Didn't fall!! Li Zihan didn't fall!!!"

In the picture, Pepe failed to shovel the ball when he tackled the ball, and simply stretched out his feet and tripped Li Zihan directly. He would rather use a yellow card in exchange for the end of Arsenal's counterattack this time.It's not his fault, it's just that Li Zihan's goal not long ago brought him too much psychological pressure! !
Don't look at the ferocious-looking Portuguese with a ferocious and desperate look, in fact, he still feels a little scared in the face of Li Zihan's breakthrough!

Li Zihan was tripped by Pepe. He couldn't maintain his balance at high speed, so he fell to the ground.

Seeing Li Zihan who was about to fall to the ground, Peipei breathed a sigh of relief!

The accident suddenly happened. At the moment Li Zihan was about to fall to the ground, he actually stretched out his hands and supported his body, making his body unable to be next to the grass.

Then with both hands hard, with the help of reverse thrust, he rebounded from the ground all of a sudden, and then continued to run towards the ball that he waded out.

Although his steps were a little staggering, he gradually maintained his balance after two steps, and finally stood up completely.

Real Madrid's last line of defense was Varane. He had seen Pepe stop Li Zihan with a foul, so he didn't pay much attention to the rolling ball. He just trotted towards the ball, which was completely routine, because he knew that the referee would immediately The whistle is about to be blown, he doesn't need to chase the ball so desperately, anyway, there are no Arsenal players near Li Zihan, and there are Arsenal players who catch up with the ball and use the principle of "offensive advantage" not to blow the whistle.

So he felt that he didn't need to waste his energy.
