Chapter 977
Ancelotti can be said to be well aware of the situation on the field, but he did not find a suitable way to break the game. He just signaled the players on the field to reduce the number of direct passes, increase the number of cross passes, and adjust Real Madrid's defensive strength.

At the same time, try to use the advantage of the number of people on the two sides to make crosses. After all, Ai Luo's ability to grab points is so strong. It is really impossible to knock on the goal protected by Real Madrid's solid defense system without trying new offensive routines.

This opportunity came quickly. After getting used to the marking density of Real Madrid players, Ai Luo began to frequently use the advantage of his fast moving speed to grab points.

Moreover, the placement of the two wide crosses is getting more and more accurate, and they can always fall into the dangerous place in the penalty area. In addition, the defensive players in the penalty area dare not use too much defensive action. They don't want to test the referee's penalty scale in the penalty area. Otherwise, once the death penalty is imposed, it will be a fatal blow!
In such a crucial game as the Champions League semi-finals, any goal conceded at home will be magnified infinitely, and when the time comes to be eliminated because of conceding a goal at home, there is really no place to cry.

Therefore, the defensive players who followed Ai Luo into the penalty area did not dare to be too presumptuous.

In the 23rd minute, Azpilicueta made a 45-degree pass from the right. At the same time, Aiello suddenly stopped near the penalty spot and ran forward. Neither Pepe nor Ramos, who were watching Ailuo, had time to react.

In the camera, Ai Luo flashed past like a cheetah accelerating to the extreme, appearing above the landing point of the football.

"Oh-My-God!!"

The Real Madrid TV commentator only had time to exclaim, and looked at the big screen in horror. Ai Luo leaned over and dived towards the football. Then, he changed his voice and shouted: "——Saint Igor!!"

Goalkeeper Iker Casillas made a god-level response under the wish of all Real Madrid fans. He subconsciously tiptoed his left foot hard, and his whole body was ejected like a spring squeezed to the extreme, throwing the football that almost brushed the inner edge of the goal from the goal line abruptly.

"Isn't it? Did you throw it out?" Huang Jianxiang, a CCTV commentator at the commentary booth, had his eyes wide open and his face full of disbelief.

Ramos, who accelerated forward, followed by leaning over and pushing the ball out of the bottom line to resolve the crisis.

Immediately, a huge exclamation erupted from the sky above the Bernabéu stadium, as if the team they supported scored a goal.

At the same time, Casillas, who climbed up from the goal, rarely jumped up from the turf, raised his arms and shouted, which gave him the feeling that he was even more excited than winning the World Cup as captain.

In fact, it feels like it does.

Spain's trip to the World Cup in South Africa feels a bit outshone, and the goal guarded by Casillas has not been tested much at all.

The shooting against Aiello is different. Casillas has almost forgotten how many goals he has been scored by Aiello since the 2004th round of the Spanish La Liga in the 2005-26 season.

When Spain won the World Cup last year, the BBC interviewed captain Iker Casillas and asked him who the player he least expects to face, and he subconsciously answered --- Aiello!

From this we can see how great his fear of Ai Luo is.

Therefore, it is acceptable to be so excited when he blocked Ai Luo's must-go goal.

※※※

When Valencia was preparing to take a corner kick, the on-site director repeated Casillas's god-level save no less than five times.

The commentators in the live commentary were all surprised by Casillas' reaction. In the words of the Real Madrid TV commentator: "Incredible saves, Casillas is like predicting the flight path of football in advance!"

After Valencia passed this pass from the side that was enough to break the goal, Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned and asked the two defensive players on the side to pay attention to the side defense and not allow Valencia's offensive players to easily send the ball to the penalty area.

The execution ability of Real Madrid players is indeed very good. Both Azpilicueta on the right and Jordi Alba on the left were disturbed to varying degrees, and the quality of the cross plummeted.

However, Valencia's offense was not disturbed by this. As if they knew that Real Madrid would increase the defense of the two sides, they began to try to change their offensive strategy and re-focused their offense on the two offensive ribs.

The defensive Real Madrid is passive defense after all, and the number of players is limited. It is certain that all the offensive methods of Valencia cannot be restricted, so some panic will inevitably occur during the process of switching defensive modes.

※※※

After a change in Valencia's attacking pattern, Aiello once again pulled out of the penalty area.

As before, Pepe defended Aiello closely. Whether he was holding the ball or not, he strictly carried out the defensive tasks assigned by coach Mourinho.

In the past 3 minutes since Valencia's offensive method changed, Elora came out farther, basically coming to a place nearly 45 meters away from Real Madrid's goal, which is where the midfielder Cazorla stood.

Seeing that Aiello was so far away from the goal, Pepe hesitated in his heart. He had consumed a lot of energy by staring at Ailuo for nearly 10 minutes in the first half. If he continued to defend in a large area, he doubted whether he could support the entire game.

Cazorla saw that Pepe's marking of Ailuo had declined, and he handed over the football at his feet to Ailuo.

At this time, Di Maria came from behind, trying to catch Ai Luo by surprise...

But Ai Luo can become the best offensive player in the world, how can he be successfully attacked by a half-baked offensive player?
Ai Luo turned to the left, and Di Maria subconsciously shifted to the left in order to avoid fouling himself, and raised his arms to indicate that he had not fouled.

In fact, Di Maria's attack was suspected of fouling, but Ai Luo was still in control of the ball, and the referee raised his arms forward to signal the game to continue.

With the help of Di Maria's strength, Ai Luo will go forward and speed up.

In the blink of an eye, he entered Real Madrid's 40-meter defensive area.

James Rodriguez and David Villa saw Aiello take the ball and accelerate, and they ran to the left in tacit understanding, making the illusion of responding, and attracting the limited defensive attention of Real Madrid's defense.

Khedira in the middle was attracted by James Rodriguez. Xavi Alonso wanted to sit in the middle, and Pepe, who had the task of marking Aiello, immediately stepped forward to defend.

However, Ai Luo unreasonably moved the ball directly to the right and forced a breakthrough in the middle.

By the time Pepe half-turned and chased after Ai Luo, it was too late, he was like a wild horse, as if he had entered the land of no one.

A flash of orange lightning suddenly flashed across the Bernabéu stadium, causing exclamations from the stands.

Harvey Alonso knew he was not as fast as Aiello and had already prepared for the worst.

Sure enough, Ai Luo's simple high-speed disguise shook him past, and Harvey Alonso had to foul under the last resort, ending Ai Luo's solo performance at the cost of a yellow card.
