Chapter 445 The Second Goal

Intermission.

The Millwall players gathered in the dressing room. The players were not in a good mood. They were leading in the first half, but they were eventually equalized by Real Madrid.

Although the score is tied, there is always a mentality gap when they are equalized. They thought they should lead.

Seeing the expressions of the players, Zhang Yang probably knew what they were thinking. Instead, he smiled indifferently, "It's only 1-1. We played well. This is at the Bernabéu. Few teams can compete at the Bernabéu. Draw with Real Madrid. You are all very good, no matter how harsh people are, they can't say anything."

The players were relieved and the smiles were back on their faces.

Zhang Yang was relieved that the players were dissatisfied with the score despite the draw.

The team has enough will to win.

This is very important.

If every player feels that a draw is a victory, and the half-time tie is easy, that is the real danger, but now is not the time to discuss these, they must continue to work hard.

Next, Zhang Yang talked about his style of play in the second half.

The situation at the end of the first half was already very dangerous. When Real Madrid played their form and suppressed with absolute strength, the team became very passive and faced a disadvantage in frontal confrontation. Real Madrid attached great importance to defense and it was difficult to counterattack. In this case , the team is unbeatable.

Zhang Yang considered retreating across the board.

If it can end with a one-to-one match, the team is completely acceptable. After all, it is an away game, and the chances of defeating Real Madrid will be much higher when they return to the Neal Stadium.

However, can the team defend to the end?
Zhang Yang finally vetoed the defensive plan. Regardless of tactics, Real Madrid's lineup is too strong. Individual players are all top stars in the world. Only a certain player with a temporary performance is enough to break through the team's gate.

Retreating across the board and wanting to defend the goal is really too lucky!

That is the worst policy!
No matter what the situation in the game is, they still have to take the initiative to fight for opportunities. Before the game, the team did not consider defensive counterattacks, but a dual-core style of play to deal with Real Madrid head-on.

Now that Real Madrid's offense is very fierce, the team should also appropriately increase the means of breaking the goal, and use direct threats to make Real Madrid feel the crisis and resolve the defensive problem.

Offense is the best defense!

Zhang Yang talked about the strategy for the second half, one is to let Livermore increase the number of insertions.

Livermore's shot is still very threatening. When Real Madrid's attention is focused on Braniff, Livermore is likely to find an opportunity. As long as he can perform well temporarily, it is enough to break through Real Madrid's gate.

The second is to support the center more from the side.

Last summer, the arrival of Pires and Quaresma has enhanced the team's wing ability, but neither of them is the kind of player who completes the goal individually. It is very difficult to rely on the wing to solve the problem. Simpson and Braniff switched positions to the middle, and the team's offensive focus is still in the middle.

Simpson's set ball and Livermore's long shot are the main means of scoring.

In previous games, Darren Bent can still threaten the opponent's goal with his strength, and the take-off from the wing becomes very important, but Real Madrid's restrictions on Darren Bent are very strict. He is about to become a tactical striker. Even if there is a steady stream of support from the side, it will be difficult for Darren Bent to break through the blockade of Ramos and Cannavaro to find opportunities.

Therefore, the side has become an auxiliary means, and it must be properly coordinated with the players in the middle to increase the number of passes to the front of the penalty area, so that it can play a role in the offense.

With the support of the wing, the pull of the striker, and Braniff attracting firepower, Livermore can easily get a chance. The long-range method may bring a direct threat to Real Madrid.

----

The second half of the game began.

Zhang Yang explained a lot of offensive details, but Millwall felt the difficulty at the beginning of the game. Real Madrid took advantage of the opening time to continue their offensive, continuous siege, on-the-spot counter-robbery and fast forward pass, so that Millwall's goal could be blocked at any time. possibility of breach.

Real Madrid's continuous attack lasted as long as 5 minutes.

In 5 minutes, they completed three shots, two corner kicks, and a set kick. Although they did not complete the goal, they put a lot of pressure on Millwall's defense.

When Raul's shot flew high out of bounds, the Millwall players breathed a sigh of relief.

I can finally relax.

Just waiting for the re-kick-off makes the players feel relaxed. It can be seen how strong Real Madrid's offensive suppression is. Every player is in a state of tension at any time, lest a mistake will allow Real Madrid to complete the goal.

Next Millwall attacked.

Goalkeeper Graham took the goal kick and passed the ball to a teammate in the backcourt, and Millwall initiated a positive push.

Simpson organizes the offense.

The football passed a few kicks in the backcourt and slowed down slightly. Afterwards, Pires dribbled the ball from the side. After completing a two-for-one cooperation with Simpson, he kicked the ball to the middle with one kick. Livermore rushed forward and waved directly. volley.

"Oh!"

At a position 30 meters away from the goal, Livermore did not make any stop action, and directly waved his foot to shoot the ball.

This shot surprised many people. Many people's first reaction was 'Livermore is wasting an opportunity', but the next moment they found that the football rushed towards the goal like a cannonball, and Casillas fought hard to save the ball before saving the ball. Out of line.

"Shoot... It's over! Cassie! It's too dangerous! Just now, David Livermore made a long shot from Millwall's midfielder! It's 30 meters away from the goal! Such a long distance, it's really hard Imagine how he decided to shoot!"

The Spanish commentator said fearfully, "His strength is quite strong. Fortunately, Cassie is concentrated, otherwise he may be 'stealed' by Millwall...Real Madrid still have to pay attention to Livermore, an English player. Stronger than he looks, he's as dangerous from distance as Carlos..."

Real Madrid players don't need to be reminded by others, and they also know how great the threat of Livermore is.

As long as they recalled the shot just now, they felt chills. Casillas stood up from the ground, and while directing his teammates to take the corner kick, he yelled at Ramos, "Don't let him kick easily!"

Ramos nodded quickly, feeling a little helpless.

In the big group of Real Madrid, everyone is a big-name star. He is quite well-known and is considered the best defender in Spain. However, he is still very young and can only listen to the reprimands of various seniors.

But what can he do?
Ramos is a central defender. Just now he was standing on the penalty area line, more than ten meters away from Livermore. It is completely unreasonable for Casillas to complain about him.

And...why not yell at Cannavaro?
Cannavaro is closer to Livermore than him, although he can't stop it, but why should he yell at him?In addition to Cannavaro, there are Diarra and Emerson. In fact, the closest one is Emerson. Emerson has been marking the 'off-ball' Braniff... anyway, Casilla There's no reason to yell at him.

Ramos was a little dissatisfied, and his face was not very good.

The corner kick sent by Pires was successfully cleared by Cannavaro. Then Real Madrid continued to attack. After two consecutive offensives, Millwall launched a quick counterattack.

This time Braniff is showing off!
Competition is the fastest way to improve. After one game, Braniff dribbled through many times, directly collided with Real Madrid defenders, and his skills and experience at his feet also soared.

When facing Emerson, Braniff had already found the pattern. He turned around in the direction the football rolled, and at the same time turned the ball to the left with his right foot, while twisting his waist and rushing from the right. In the way of passing the ball, Emerson was directly left behind.

Emerson was not reconciled to being passed by, he furiously chased after him.

Braniff rushed forward two steps, and at the same time fast forward, he also limited his speed and did not fully charge.

Diarra came over to intercept.

Braniff suddenly accelerated, using the slow speed to fast transition, and Diarra was left behind in an instant.

After passing Emerson and Diarra in a row, Real Madrid fans began to worry. Many fans booed, hoping to affect Braniff, but they probably didn't understand that Braniff is so selfish. Alone!
In Braniff's ears, the booing of Real Madrid fans is a compliment to himself!

Affirmation of yourself!

Not only was Braniff not affected, but he ran more steadily and his mind became more flexible. When he noticed that Cannavaro was coming up, there was still room to observe the left and right, and his feet kept drawing on the ball. In the circle, it seems that he wants to break through Cannavaro.

Cannavaro also judged so.

The same goes for others, such as Roberto Carlos on the line of the penalty area. He was worried that Cannavaro would continue to be passed, ready to come to defend at any time, and took a slightly wrong step in this direction.

This one-step difference allowed Braniff to find an opening and immediately swung the ball to the left.

"It's a pass—!"

Accompanied by the exclamation of the commentator, the football passed through Carlos. Carlos turned around and saw Livermore plugging in behind him. Seeing that Livermore had already waved his foot, the Brazilian didn't even think about it, and directly Just hit it.

This collision saved Real Madrid!
Recalling Livermore's threatening shot from 30 meters away, anyone can imagine how threatening Livermore's shot from the penalty area line would be.

Maybe Casillas didn't have time to make a save?
Carlos is very strong. Comparing him with Livermore, when it comes to the strength of the muscles in his legs, Livermore is not necessarily an opponent. He was knocked to the ground directly.

Many people watched Livermore fall to the ground, subconsciously worried about him.

The same goes for Zhang Yang.

He stood up from his seat, frowning and looking at the court.

There was nothing to worry about in the next moment. Livermore quickly stood up and rubbed the bumped butt, with a grinning expression on his face. It must be uncomfortable, but he knew from the looks that he didn't suffer at all. hurt.

Carlos couldn't help giving Livermore a thumbs up, and shouted, "You're so strong!"

English with strange South American pronunciation is difficult for Livermore to understand quickly. Seeing Carlos’ thumbs up, Livermore seemed to understand something. He made a bodybuilding movement of extending his arms and showed Carlos Twist the muscles to show he's a big guy.

The referee ran up and showed Carlos a yellow card, and Millwall got a set-piece against the penalty area line.

It's a bit of a shame.

The position where Carlos fouled, as long as it is less than half a meter forward, is the penalty area line. If he fouls on the penalty area line, it becomes a penalty kick, not a set kick.

The set piece in this position is very difficult to play.

The position is too close to the goal, which also means that it will be very close to the human wall. The opponent's human wall can completely block the goal and seriously interfere with the line of sight of the penalty shooter. You must kick a curve ball to have a chance to score.

That kind of ball is too difficult.

It is not easy to cooperate. The penalty area is so large, and the opposing players will come to defend. It is very difficult to cooperate.

The player sent by Millwall is still Josh Simpson. When Simpson stood in front of the ball, the Real Madrid players dare not ignore it. Simpson's wonderful shot in the first half is still deeply imprinted in the minds of Real Madrid players. They all knew that the Canadian boy was definitely not to be underestimated.

When Real Madrid was deploying defense, Millwall was also deploying coordination methods. Darren Bent and Braniff were all squeezing positions, while Quaresma and Pires supported from a distance.

Millwall put on a look of cooperating to grab points.

Real Madrid attaches great importance to the defense of others, because it is difficult to score directly from close range, and the opponent is likely to cooperate with free kicks.

Finally the referee signaled to start free throws.

Simpson's face was flat. He glanced at the goal and then at the position of his teammates. It seemed that he was planning to pass a pass to the penalty area and find opportunities for his teammates. Then he took a few steps back, trotted forward, and kicked... side!
Real Madrid players are surprised!
Following the direction of the football, they suddenly found that a player ran empty.

Livermore!

The distance between Livermore and Simpson was more than ten meters, and the football rolled over a distance of more than ten meters, just staggering the defense of the wall, leaving a large enough angle.

Livermore ran two steps forward, in the most comfortable position, swung his right foot high--
Bang!
The football, like a cannonball, rushed through the penalty area and appeared in front of the goal in an instant.

Casillas jumped high, stretched his arms as far as he could in the air, and moved forward and forward again. Time seemed to be frozen, but it still couldn't help.

The speed of the ball is too fast, he can't stop it at all!

The football rushed into the goal in an instant!

Casillas turned his head in the air, he could only watch the football go into the net, his expression was full of helplessness and anger...
