The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 482 Entering the final with one foot
Ricardo is very clear that Real Madrid will not get too many chances in this game.A free kick in such a good position is a godsend opportunity. If it is wasted, it is very likely that there will be no chance to expand the score in this game.

So he was very cautious, swinging and swinging the football, aiming the valve core at himself.

A free kick at this distance is not much more difficult than a penalty kick for a true free kick master.

But although Ricardo has been practicing hard, he has not yet grown into a free kick master, just a free kick master.

At best, he is only [-]% to [-]% sure of such an excellent position.

The Barcelona players nervously set up the wall.They all know the power of Ricardo's free kick, and also know the consequences of losing the ball.

But after all, Barcelona players are generally not tall. Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi are all only about 1 meters, and Deco and Eto'o are less than 7 meters.

Such a human wall is full of loopholes in front of free kick masters.

Licado looked at the wall of people, put his hands on his hips, and suddenly showed a confident smile!

This smile made the Barcelona players even more nervous.

When the referee blew his whistle, Licado made a run-up, bent his bow and set his arrows to shoot, everyone jumped up reflexively!
They subconsciously feel that only by jumping higher can they block the ball.

But when Licado's calf swung quickly and the football flew up like an arrow from the string, people realized that the ball was flying against the turf!
The Barcelona players who placed the human wall were in mid-air, and they did not know the traditional Chinese martial art "thousand catty falling", so it was impossible for them to fall immediately.The football flew under the soles of their feet and headed straight for the goal!
Valdés found out that something was wrong, but the bouncing ball was much more difficult than hitting the half-high ball.

He tried his best to throw sideways, but he still couldn't catch up. Before his fingertips, the football flew over the goal line and into the net!

"Riccardo Goallllllll! It's a wonderful free kick, the Barcelona players were caught off guard!" shouted the commentator, "Barcelona are in big trouble and now they are two goals behind at home. Although they have the advantage in the game, it is Real Madrid. Take your chance!"

"If Barcelona can't quickly equalize the score in the remaining 30 minutes of the game, their hope of advancing will be very small. From the perspective of the overall strength of the team, they are slightly inferior; from the current state of the team Not as good as their opponents. If they go to the Bernabeu with a two-goal disadvantage, they will have no hope of turning around!"

Rijkaard naturally understands this too.After conceding the ball, he immediately made a substitution, Henry came on to replace Deco, and Barcelona played 4 forwards!

Pellegrini also deployed his troops maturely, replacing Raul with Gago, and Ricardo stepped up to the front line, playing an asymmetrical 4321 formation.

The Barcelona room leak happened to rain overnight. In the 73rd minute, Messi was brought down when he broke through with the ball and was injured.Rijkaard had to replace teenager Bojan, but how can Bojan's threat level be compared with Messi?
Now the most threatening players on the Barcelona field are Henry and Eto'o.But under the close defense of Real Madrid players, it is difficult for them to make a difference.

In the 80th minute, Pellegrini replaced Ricardo with Higuain and Kaka with Guti, playing defense more resolutely.

Rijkaard also used up the last substitution quota, replaced Yaya Toure with Gudjohnsen, hoarded 5 strikers, and put all his eggs in one basket.

Rijkaard knows very well that if he can't get a goal back now, he doesn't have to count on the next round!So knowing that the 415 formation will lead to a emptiness in the defense, and he is likely to continue to lose the ball, he doesn't care about it.

Now he is like a red-eyed gambler, betting on all the gold coins just to bet on that slim chance.

His gamble paid off.

In the 87th minute, Henry got rid of Guti and Gago in a row and volleyed vigorously from 24 meters away from the goal.The ball was too fast, Casillas didn't dare to be careless, and hit the ball with both fists.The ball fell outside the penalty area, Gudjohnsen headed it back into the penalty area, Eto'o turned and volleyed, this time he wasted no chance, the ball went into the net, and the figure of Iker Casillas' save became the background board.

"Eto'o Goallllll! His goal kept Barcelona in suspense! Barcelona's crazy offensive finally paid off, and now the score is 1:2, Real Madrid leads away. The game is over in a few minutes. Can the score be changed within minutes?"

The goal boosted Barcelona's morale.

But although Real Madrid's defense line is not reinforced concrete, it is definitely not tofu.The conceded goal just now was a bit helpless. It was a flash of inspiration from Barcelona's top stars.

But Barcelona's attacking one-on-one, but it can't penetrate it!
Five minutes into stoppage time, Barcelona got nothing.

When the referee blew the whistle three times to end the game, Ricardo took the lead in rushing onto the court to celebrate with his teammates.

This score indicates that Real Madrid has entered the final with one foot!
In the post-match press conference, Rijkaard remained stubborn.

"We are only one goal behind, it's not a big deal, we have a strong attacking force, and we have every hope of achieving a reversal in the away game."

"Messi had just recovered from his injury to engage in such a high-intensity confrontation. His body was a bit overwhelmed, so I replaced him, not because he was injured again. Fans, please rest assured that Messi will appear on the field in the next round."

"We were beaten by Ricardo, it's no surprise. He is one of the best players in the world, and maybe in two years, this 'one' can be removed. But we will not be discouraged. I always believe that I Players, we can freeze him for the next leg."

"We didn't make mistakes in our tactical choice, in our formation. This defeat was just bad luck, we were beaten by a penalty and a free kick, that's all. Real Madrid didn't score goals in open play. In the next round, we can continue to limit Real Madrid's offensive. As long as we win 2:0, we can advance smoothly. This is not an unattainable goal. Please continue to support us."

As the winner, Pellegrini said it very simply: "I said before the game that we could win, and we did it. In the next round, we can still win and advance to the final smoothly."

"Too dependent on Ricardo? If you rely on him to win, why not. He is the type of player who can lead the team to victory, he plays very selflessly. Real Madrid needs a leader like him. His renewal work ? That's not something I can interfere with, I think the club will seriously consider it."
