Chapter 372 The end of the first half

Leeds United fans in the stands exclaimed for Morientes' sudden shot after keeping distance from Ferdinandra. Fortunately, the ball went straight to the far corner of the goal this time but was bravely shot by Martin. He jumped out, allowing Leeds United to avoid the embarrassing scene of falling behind by two goals, and finally let the Leeds fans breathe a sigh of relief
Right now, the left side of the formation can be said to be the hardest hit area for defensive festering. The full-back Hart is simply unable to cope with Carlos' repeated breakthroughs. Kenny's defense is also a drop in the bucket. You can't expect a winger to return to the backcourt to assist every time. Let the team defend, let alone when the team is behind.

Therefore, the only one who can provide effective support for Hart is Ferdinand, except for Dacourt. However, the strong personal ability of Real Madrid's frontcourt players keeps Leeds United's defense at bay all the time. Obviously not a good thing.Whenever the two wanted to step forward to help Hart defend, the threat from behind them reminded them all the time.

"The honor that shocks the whole of Spain, Real Madrid is coming to you, they carry the white flag, which is the symbol of a great club. We give our hearts to you, you have brought us countless legends, we always Full of reverence and passion, look up to the laurels on your head. Come on, Madrid! Come on, Madrid! You are a symbol of nobility and dignity, you are a knight who symbolizes honor. Come on Madrid! Come on Madrid! Fight for victory with all your strength and defend you Noble white, come on, Madrid! Come on, Madrid! Come on, Madrid!"

Real Madrid, who advanced by one goal, became more and more courageous, showing extremely strong dominance, and the momentum of the fans was also wave after wave.

Seeing this situation, O'Reilly was worried. Hart's gap in strength cannot be made up with tactics. When the two are at the same level, Carlos is a well-deserved top fullback, far from Hart. within reach.

And Real Madrid coach Bosque's tactical play with Carlos is also very tricky. He doesn't need the Brazilian to cut inside and hit the goal in this game. Bosque only needs Carlos on the left side of Leeds United. Stirring the wind and rain on the road attracts as many defensive players as possible, and in that case, it would be great if the ball can be passed, but if not, a free kick can also be received.

You must know that various set-piece tactics are one of Real Madrid's sharpest weapons today. Figo, Zidane, and Carlos all have very famous free kicks, so to a certain extent, both sides regard set-pieces as One of the main offensive methods, but the current situation is that Leeds United cannot get such an opportunity.

No.404 minutes, the Leeds United fans who had just breathed became nervous again, because Real Madrid made a comeback. Obviously until the last moment of the first half, they still wanted to open the score again.This time it was still the side led by Carlos who launched the attack. After successfully leaving Kenny behind and letting Hart receive a yellow card, Real Madrid satisfactorily finished the first half with a set kick. an attack.

Pulling up Raul who was sitting on the ground, the Real Madrid players started to act in an orderly manner according to the free kick tactics rehearsed before the game, and the Leeds United players immediately began to line up the wall when they saw this. Woodgate, Ferdinand, Duckett and the others argued with the referee back and forth on the human wall line designated by the referee about the distance of the human wall, hoping to give the teammates more time to prepare.

In addition to the several tall members of the team who were moving nervously, the full-backs were also constantly hovering in the penalty area to block the Real Madrid players in front of them who wanted to grab points.

However, when Zidane, Figo, and Carlos stood in front of the ball at the same time and all showed expressions of eagerness to try, the Young Guards couldn't help but gasp. This is really tricky!
"Hey! Leo, lean a little to the left, don't leave too much space between you and Olivier! What, do you want the ball to be kicked from the middle by those goddamn hapless people? Or do you want Leave some distance to walk the dog? Ah!"

"Jonathan, for God's sake, you're our captain, come closer, this position is very dangerous!"

Taking advantage of this time, Leeds United goalkeeper Martin has been constantly directing the wall in front of him. From the perspective of a goalkeeper, the crude defensive system in front of him can be said to be full of loopholes, which makes him feel uneasy.But the condition is this condition, Martin can only use the positions of his teammates as much as possible to make his saves easier, facing any one of the three Real Madrid players, Martin dare not relax in the slightest.

The Brazilian Carlos is of course useless to mention. Free kicks are Carlos' famous stunt. The speed of the ball he shoots can approach 150 km/h. Few players are willing to take the initiative when they see Carlos take a free kick. When the wall.There used to be rumors that Carlos's thighs and legs were 81cm in circumference, which was thicker than the waist circumference of an average adult man. Now, although Leeds United's personal experience is not as terrifying as the rumors, it is definitely one of the best.

His terrifying explosive power can be clearly seen from his thick thighs and bulging muscles.

It's just that in this competition for the final Champions League trophy, even though he knew that Carlos' free kick might be injured, Leeds United still stood up bravely.

On the other hand, there is a consensus in today's European football, that is, although Figo and Zidane's free kicks are not outstanding, they are both very lethal. Steady speed and not too tricky angle can make the goalkeeper hard to defend. This kind of technique can be said to make many people dare not take it lightly, and it is also a headache for many goalkeepers, because the less characteristic it is, the more difficult it is to defend.

So when the referee Urs Meyer confirmed that both sides were ready and blew the penalty whistle, the wall formed by the Leeds United players did not hesitate at this time when Carlos took the lead in the run-up. jumped up.

"It was a very good chance for Real Madrid to score from this distance! They have a lot of free kick masters in their formation! I think the most impressive one must be the Brazilian Carlos!
Born in 1973, Roberto Carlos's childhood life was not rich. His father worked in a local textile company. However, when he was 1 and a half years old, Carlos' father gave him a football. After that, he played football with his father every day. At that time, the young Carlos showed strong shooting power. As a goalkeeper, his father often felt the impact of his son's shooting. At this time, Carlos' father made a decision. This made him determined to let his son embark on the road of professional football.

It is worth mentioning that Carlos scored a free kick with a strange arc in the opening game of the French Four Nations Invitational Tournament in 1997. This goal was also lamented by the world as a violation of the principles of physics.”

"Sure enough, when the Swiss referee Urs Meyer blew his golden whistle, Carlos rushed out first! It was a powerful free kick, the ball flew over the wall and went straight to the goal. Going around the corner, Leeds United goalkeeper Martin jumped high and wanted to punch the ball out! This save action is very dangerous. Although the ball did not encounter any obstacles during its flight, we can clearly feel it. This ball carries tremendous power!"

"It's so dangerous! The ball flew out against the beam of the door, and Carlos's heavy shot was shot high!!! But even so, it was a shock! I think the players of Leeds United must have performed for Carlos's expression at this moment And amazed!"

As the commentators thought, at this time Woodgate and the others looked at the ball flying out of the field with lingering fear, all in awe.

The shadow of a famous tree, Carlos, who has been famous for many years, is the world's top full-back. Many young Leeds United players present watched his game step into the professional arena. Therefore, although Carlos is not a real offensive player, he can also Unlike Zidane, Figo has many personal honors, but no Leeds United player underestimates him.

But it wasn't until then that the boys realized that they still underestimated the Brazilian in front of them!

"Beep!!"

When the ball brushed the goal and flew out of bounds, the referee Urs Meyer also blew the whistle for the end of the first half. In the entire first half, there was nothing to do due to the fast pace of the two sides. Due to unexpected circumstances, the Swiss did not give stoppage time, and players on both sides can accept this approach.The players of Leeds United desperately need a rest time to recover their nearly exhausted physical strength, and at the same time, the players of Real Madrid understand that if the time is added, the offensive rights will be exchanged. Under such circumstances, they are of course happy to end the first half.

"The honor that shocks the whole of Spain, Real Madrid is coming to you, they carry the white flag, which is the symbol of a great club. We give our hearts to you, you have brought us countless legends, we always Full of reverence and passion, look up to the laurels on your head. Come on, Madrid! Come on, Madrid! You are a symbol of nobility and dignity, you are a knight who symbolizes honor. Come on Madrid! Come on Madrid! Fight for victory with all your strength and defend you Noble white, come on, Madrid! Come on, Madrid! Come on, Madrid!"

As the players of both sides walked to the locker room, the Real Madrid fans at the scene still seemed to want to seize the little time and continue to put pressure on the Leeds United players, rather than go to the toilet and buy items immediately.

Seeing such a situation, the fans of Leeds United certainly didn't want to be at a disadvantage, so they immediately put down what they were doing and stood in place and sang the team song with their companions in unison to fight back against the Real Madrid fans.

"We march with Leeds, put out our hands, stand up and sing for Leeds; we are the greatest in the world, and every day we say, we love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! Wherever you are, We are always together, we love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! We march with Leeds, put our hands out, stand up and sing for Leeds; we are the greatest in the world, every day we say, we Love you Leeds! Leeds! Leeds! We are always together wherever we are, we love you Leeds! Leeds!"

In this way, during the intermission, the lovely fans of both sides did not end their battle. This scene couldn't help but make many commentators lament the huge influence and appeal of football.

It's just that at this time, on the way to the locker room, Kenny, who couldn't help panting heavily, kept his eyes on a Real Madrid player.

And this player is the best midfielder in the world today, the Frenchman Zinedine Yazd Zidane who is about to turn 30 years old.

Kenny is no stranger to Zidane, whether he is living in the current world football world or traveling through China before, but before today's game, Kenny was quite indifferent to the French superstar Feel.You must know that in the European Cup final when Kenny just passed through, the two had played against each other, but in that game where Kenny turned out and shined brilliantly, this man had already won the European Golden Globe Award and the World Football Award. The player with the two most important personal honors in the football world is not so eye-catching, and he has not posed any major threat to Italy's defense. This also makes Kenny not think that Zidane has the reputation that the outside media are touting. That's great.

But it wasn't until today's game that Kenny really understood everything. It turns out that there is nothing wrong with saying that there is no man without a reputation.

The reason why Zidane did not give Kenny a particularly intuitive and shocking feeling in that final is that the Italian lineup also has countless top players. They, who played in Serie A like Zidane, have a great impression of the French superstar. The technical characteristics are naturally very clear, so it is difficult to play out even if Zidane has superpowers under their restrictions.

The second reason is that today the Frenchman feels like a deadly motor to Kenny, with delicate, graceful and accurate footwork, clean and neat dribbling skills, wide vision on the field, good at grasping the situation on the field, and able to lead the field. , can grab and shoot, every time he takes the ball can bring a huge threat to Leeds United.In other words, part of Zidane's role is to show midfield control and personal drive. When he faces many Italian players who are familiar with his characteristics and are not far behind in strength and are restricted, his The ability is transformed into the overall control that is not easy to be seen.

In the final of the European Cup final, Kenny came off the bench at the last moment, which is very different from today's situation, so his feeling now is the most intuitive and appropriate.
