The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 494 Ricardo's Advice
Seeing that the first half was coming to an end, Real Madrid relaxed a little.

In the 45th minute, a dramatic scene appeared on the field.

Essien suddenly took a long shot about 30 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area. In fact, he probably didn't intend to do anything with the ball. Cardo was also very uncomfortable.

As a result, the ball hit Cannavaro's leg and then Pepe's back. The ball landed in the middle of the penalty area after two blocks.This position is not close to the goalkeeper Iker Casillas. It was very difficult for him to attack and get the ball. As a result, he stumbled with his left leg and stumbled with his right leg during the attack.At this time, Lampard, who happened to keep up with him, ran to this position from outside the penalty area, kicked the goal, and the ball flew into the empty goal smoothly.

"Lampard Goalllllllll!" The commentator was stunned for half a second before shouting, the process of this goal was too weird, "Chelsea's attack finally achieved results, this is a mistaken goal, no one can I didn't expect such an opportunity to appear, and Essien's random shot was finally sent into the goal by Lampard."

"Chelsea pulled one point back, now they are only one goal behind, and they have seen a ray of light! Throughout the first half, they did not pose much threat to Real Madrid, but this seemingly harmless ball worked wonders .”

After scoring the goal, Lampard pointed to the sky, possibly to comfort his mother who had just passed away.

The Chelsea players all ran up to celebrate with him. At this point in time, it is really crucial to get one goal back. One goal behind or two goals behind are two completely different situations. It has a big impact, and Real Madrid will definitely have to make adjustments in the second half.

Grant stood on the sidelines and applauded vigorously.Yes, this goal is not exciting, but a goal is a goal, and the score will not be reduced because the process is not exciting.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this goal is worth a thousand dollars.

Without this goal, Real Madrid would have been able to deal with it more calmly and Chelsea would have basically lost hope of an equalizer.

But now only one goal behind and entering the second half, the Chelsea players must feel very different psychologically, and the confidence of the Real Madrid players will also be affected.

Pellegrini frowned.Of course he is aware of the influence of this conceded goal.But the ball really can't be blamed on anyone, Casillas can't get the ball smoothly even if he doesn't trip, Lampard can still complete the shot.It can only be said that Lady Luck did not show favor for Real Madrid.

After Real Madrid kick-off resumed, stoppage time quickly ran out and the two sides returned to the dressing room.

Pellegrini first named and praised Riccardo and other outstanding players. He did not comment on the conceded goal, after all, it was an accident.

Then he said: "We did a good job in the first half, but what I want to emphasize is that we are still not good enough in controlling the rhythm. Especially after the 30th minute, we were led by the nose. Although in a fast-paced In the transition between offense and defense, we can also get a lot of opportunities, but now we don't need opportunities, we lead the score, what we need now is stability, not risk. The result I want to see most is that neither side has any threats in the second half Attacking, played 90 minutes and then we won."

The players mostly nodded in agreement.

However, Licardo put forward a different opinion: "BOSS, I originally thought the same as you. But in the game, I felt that our ball-handling skills are still a bit insufficient, which will make the opponent counterattack on the spot after stealing. Opportunity, which is also very dangerous. I think we'd better play fast-paced 20-30 minutes with the opponent first, wait until the opponent's physical strength is exhausted, it is difficult to launch the pressing in the midfield, and then start to play possession, so the effect will be better. "

After a pause, he said: "Fast attack and defense is indeed a risk, but our offensive ability is stronger than theirs. I think the risk is actually not that big. The opponent can score one, and we can score two. We won't lose."

Pellegrini's first reaction was anger.As a head coach, of course you have to be angry if your players question your decision.

But soon the anger disappeared, because he knew very well that he couldn't do anything to Ricardo, and his anger was for nothing.

Then he thought about Ricardo's proposal carefully, and unexpectedly found that he was still quite moved.

Pellegrini was not a conservative and stubborn coach, and Ricardo's idea was actually quite to his liking.

He nodded slowly, and said: "It makes sense, Ricardo, as a player who works hard on the field, you may have a deeper understanding of the situation on the field than I do."

"But this is the Champions League final, what we have to do is to seek stability."

Licardo said: "Boss, please believe me, I have played in the Champions League final, and more than once. Seeking stability is a rough guideline, but when it is implemented in different time periods of the game, sometimes appropriate risks are required. Because the so-called seeking stability, In fact, it is the biggest risk. It is to give up our own offensive, to bet that the opponent cannot break through our own defense, and pin our hopes on others. Now we are only one goal ahead, and any accident may destroy our efforts. Now it is a matter of stability. It is the most unstable. It is better to attack first, with two goals in hand, or start to seek stability when there is not much time left in the game."

Riccardo's words shocked Pellegrini very much, especially the phrase "the so-called seeking stability is the greatest risk", which really touched his heart.Pellegrini was not known for his defense when he was at Villarreal, but he was good at building advantages through offense.

He pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, "That's it, let's play 25 minutes of quick offensive and defensive transitions with our opponents to consume their energy. When they are exhausted, we will return to the defense with all our strength and pass the backcourt. Control the tempo of the game."

Ricardo smiled.

After the start of the second half, Chelsea continued to attack. However, to the surprise of the fans and critics, Real Madrid had no need to attack, but they let it go and played a quick attack and defense with Chelsea.

In the 47th minute, Real Madrid played consecutive short passes at the front of the opponent's penalty area. Ricardo and Kaka hit the wall and tore apart the opponent's defense. Unfortunately, the through ball sent by Ricardo was a little bigger. Kaka and Kaka Cech rushed to the ball almost at the same time, and Kaka's shovel shot hit Cech.

In the 49th minute, Kaka sent a through pass, Ricardo made a high-speed cross from the left, and Ruud van Nistelrooy headed the goal slightly wide.

In the 51st minute, Lampard drew the attention of two defensive players in front of the penalty area and then swiped the ball across. Ballack volleyed vigorously and was saved by Casillas.

The fans were too dazzled to watch, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes, for fear of missing the wonderful shots.
