Jagged Wings

Chapter 83 Fighting spirit, who would lack it?
Attack decides the scene, defense decides the champion!
Real Madrid has a strong lineup, but there are only three players who really specialize in defense: central defenders Messia and Ramos, midfielder Gravesen, even with goalkeeper Iker Casillas, there are only four players.

On the other hand, Arsenal's four defenses are only the right back Eb who occasionally advances forward, which can be regarded as half of the defenders. In addition to the double midfielder defense in the frontcourt, Hleb will often fill in to help defend.Calculated in this way, without the goalkeeper, Arsenal has five people plus two and a half defensive players.

Gravesen needs to take care of the space left in front of the full-backs from time to time. Guti is not in good shape and needs to help defend.Although Zidane is skilled, he can't do it alone.

Not to mention Robinho, he only does one thing with the ball now - he takes the ball straight to Huanglong.

Beckham still worked very hard. Real Madrid's most threatening attack in the half came from Beckham's header after breaking into the penalty area.

During the intermission, Carlo criticized the whole team.

He also knows the team's problems, defense.

But this starting lineup was seen by Florentino, and it was only halftime, and Carlo didn't dare to change easily, otherwise, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to Lafayette?
He has no guts!

But in any case, to be able to sit in the position of head coach of Real Madrid, Carlo still has some real talents.

"Let's adjust in the second half and still attack, but also pay attention to defense. Guti, you retreat to the midfielder to help defend Gravesen, Ronnie, don't always hang around in the frontcourt, you should return to the midfield to help defend more. "

Guti had no objection and nodded in agreement.

Ronaldo looked up at him a little disappointed, then lowered his head again.

"Okay, coach." He said in a low voice.

Ronaldo was not happy at Real Madrid this season. The media criticized him a lot for being injured, and his scandals were often revealed.But in the face of these, the Real Madrid club did not protect him enough, and Ronaldo's resentful remarks later also intensified the conflict between him and the club.

The most obvious manifestation is that during the Christmas period in the first half of the season, Florentino personally came to the locker room to visit the players. He greeted everyone, but only missed Ronaldo.Ronaldo's contract will not expire until 2008, and now there are rumors about his transfer.

But he knows that Real Madrid is indeed operating an exchange, and the goal is to exchange him for Adriano of Inter Milan.

Ronaldo is not too much in love with Real Madrid, but he wants to prove that he is still the most powerful striker on the planet.

So, defend and defend!
At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid took the lead. Lehmann picked off Beckham's cross and threw it to Jenas to launch a counterattack.

Jenas passed the ball to the retreating Hleb, Hleb looked left and right, Gravesen was defending Fabio, Guti followed Jenas, Beckham was in the middle, so he would definitely not be around There are Real Madrid players.

So he turned around, but a white figure passed by him and took the football away.

Ronaldo!

"Ronaldo went back to the center circle to grab the ball? Didn't he never defend?"

Arsenal's players didn't expect Ronaldo to retreat to grab the ball, and they were all stunned. Ronaldo's speed was so fast that he had already approached the penalty area.

Arsenal's players didn't expect it, and Real Madrid's teammates naturally didn't expect it either.

So Ronaldo steals the ball and goes forward, and there is only one Robinho by his side.

Robinho ran to the wing. He didn't want to open the space for Ronaldo, but to run into the space for Ronaldo to pass the ball.

Ronaldo saw it, but he didn't pass it, and he faltered past Toure with a feint.

Senderos has already made up. Ronaldo looked at the distance between the two sides. If it had been placed three years ago, he would have passed the ball.

And now?

That's it for now!
Ronaldo hastily took a shot and the football was easily won by Lehmann.

"Ronaldo... past Touré... Senderos, ah! Shot!"

"The quality of this shot is average, isn't he ready?"

"Ronnie is old, he no longer has the ability to run long distances!"

The Bernabéu fans in the stands first cheered, they thought Ronaldo would catch Arsenal by surprise, and then save Real Madrid like countless times...

They guessed the beginning, but not the end.

Ronnie, who didn't score a goal, was also silent. He lowered his head and felt a little lost.He is not an extrovert himself, so the game can easily affect his emotions.

In the next game, Arsenal reacted very quickly. They realized that Real Madrid had made adjustments and responded quickly, not giving Ronaldo a chance to steal the ball.

"This is a confused fat man." The commentator looked at Ronaldo and said.

From time to time, there will be shots of Raul on the bench. Ronaldo at this time is very similar to Raul in the past two years.

In the 47th minute of the game, Xiaofa intercepted Carlos' pass and dribbled forward.

Xiaofa came from the youth training camp of Real Madrid's arch-enemy Barcelona, ​​and he has a lot of fighting spirit against Real Madrid.

Reyes was good in the first half, so Gravesen stepped up his pressing and followed him.

So Xiaofa passed the ball to Henry who retreated.

Guti glanced at the figure beside Henry, and went up to defend Hleb.

But what he didn't expect was that it was Ronaldo who defended Henry.

Ronaldo worked very hard, but if a player's talent is divided into 100 parts, then Ronaldo's offensive talent is divided into 99 parts, and there is only a pitiful 1 part in defense.

Ronaldo tried very hard to steal Henry's ball, but Henry easily passed Ronaldo with a flick of his feet.

Oops!

Henry, who passed Ronaldo, faced the defense directly!
And now that Real Madrid's right back Cicinho hasn't returned yet, Gravesen has gone to defend Reyes, and Real Madrid's entire right back half is empty!
Of course, the King of Highbury would not miss the opportunity. Henry threw everyone away with an acceleration.

Then the Frenchman broke into the left rib of the penalty area 14 yards, before Ramos tackled a low shot into the far corner of the net.

2:0
Henry started with the ball, and the Bernabeu's home court was full of boos, trying to disturb Henry's mind.Then when Henry hit the ball into the goal, the 8 people in the entire Bernabéu suddenly fell silent.

As silent as a cemetery!

Henry, who scored the goal, vented loudly. He ran to the corner flag and yelled loudly with his teammates.

After taking the lead, Arsenal once occupied the advantage on the field, which made Real Madrid, which is not good at defense, very passive.At this time, Carlo sent Raul who had been warming up on the sidelines since the second half.

"With four and 10 minutes left in the game, Carlo sent Raul on, the meaning was very obvious, he was not willing to end the game like this."

Raul came on to replace Guti, who was in charge of midfield defense, and also took over the captain's armband.

After Raul played, Real Madrid switched to playing three strikers.Arsenal scored two goals at home, which has squeezed most of Real Madrid's body to the brink of being out.

So they have no choice but to attack!
If you enter one, there is a glimmer of hope; if you approach two, you will be able to equalize!

If you continue to lose the ball, the difference between losing one more and losing ten more is not very big.

Arsenal somewhat underestimated Raul. How much ability can a person squeezed to the bench by the fat Ronaldo have?
So, when everyone was dismissive of Raul, he almost missed Lehmann with a beautiful five-meter dash.

At that time, after he suddenly started at the front of the penalty area, he suddenly shot directly without adjustment. Lehmann did not expect that, and squatted a little slower, almost letting the football pass through his crotch. Fortunately, his body still held the football down at the critical moment. up.

"Hey! Lyman!" Henry shouted loudly, "What are you thinking? Don't let your guard down!" He didn't call out Lyman's name, but called his last name directly. very dissatisfied.

In such an important game, he, the captain, must take responsibility.

As for those gentlemen?To hell with it!
Of course, Raul played other roles.Raul desperately interspersed in the midfield. He has a spirit of never admitting defeat no matter in the club or the national team. Now he needs to use this spirit to the limit.He is the captain, he must fight, and fight to the end.

Real Madrid's offense is still messy, but the hearts of the players are constantly cohesive.

Jenas took the ball from the backcourt, and wanted to go backwards to delay the time, but Raul rushed up from the side and made a tackle, and even dribbled the ball and brought it down.The referee blew his whistle to indicate a foul, and he didn't go up to Layenas to get up, but ran back straight away.

At this time, Raul didn't have the demeanor of a "prince" at all, but he had the murderous aura of a fighter.Reyes couldn't say which Raul was better, but he looked into Raul's eyes, and gradually felt a kind of power—the power of unwillingness to admit defeat.

Of course, this does not mean that Reyes' determination will be lower than that of Real Madrid.

You work hard, I work harder than you!

In the 74th minute, Gravesen pushed Reyes down from the wing. Reyes fell off the field and rolled back to the field to delay the game time. This caused dissatisfaction among Real Madrid players. yellow card.

Reyes, who received a yellow card, was replaced by Diaby in a blink of an eye. Wenger was afraid that if he got another yellow card, he would be suspended for one game.In the Champions League knockout round, Wenger doesn't want to lose staff because of such players.

Diaby, who played, kissed Real Madrid's lawn, which was his first appearance in the Champions League.

At the last moment, Carlo replaced Robinho and Beckham, tantamount to renunciation of the game.

Arsenal also replaced Henry, who was exhausted, and Toure, who had just returned from injury.

Four minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Arsenal beat Real Madrid 2-0 away!
