Chapter 654 Only Persistence Can Continue

Although Southampton's counterattack did not score a goal, it also interrupted Real Madrid's offensive rhythm-sometimes the game is like this, an inconspicuous counterattack that seems to have failed, but it has turned the wind of the game.

In the following time, although Real Madrid continued to attack, the threat was not so great. Marcelo's cross was directly saved by Gulac. After 2 minutes, Modric took a long shot from the front of the penalty area. The ball flew off the baseline...

C Rolla also created a chance afterwards, he broke through Chilwell's defense, and then passed the ball into the penalty area. Benzema barbed shot under the pressure of Maguire, and the ball was wide.

The fans of Real Madrid kept sighing with regret. In their opinion, the team was only a little bit short of expanding their lead.

However, in fact, many football critics and coaches have noticed that Real Madrid can no longer suppress Southampton. Southampton's rebound seems to be in sight!

Of course, Zidane and Ji Ya also saw this point, but what Zidane was thinking about was whether the team could score another one before that. At this time, there were very few things the coach could do.

Minutes later, Southampton did strike back.

They gradually took over the control of the midfield, which made many people feel inexplicable-it was clear that Real Madrid had the advantage before, why did it suddenly become Southampton?

De Bruyne began to receive the ball constantly, constantly dispatched, and Southampton's offense began to become more and more threatening.

Dembele forced a breakthrough from the side to create a free kick. De Bruyne drove into the penalty area. Van Dijk beat Carvajal with a header and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Van Dijk shook his head regretfully and ran back, but Carvajal took a while to stand up, limping a bit injured.

Zidane looked at the field with some concern. If Carvajal is injured, it will still have a great impact on Real Madrid's defense. As long as he can support it, he'd better support it...

Just when Zidane was thinking this way, Southampton's offense launched again.

Coutinho's long-range shot hit Ramos and flew out of the baseline, corner kick.

De Bruyne took a corner kick, Du Yue sprinted ahead of Ramos' defense, and directly shook his head against the falling ball to attack the goal!

The ball quickly changed direction and flew towards the middle of the goal. Navas only had time to wave his arm, and the ball flew over his head. Just as the Real Madrid fans screamed, the ball hit the crossbar hard, and then Bounced back into the restricted area!

Before Navas had time to call for a clearance, Maguire's huge body appeared in the direction of the ball's rebound, almost subconsciously headed, and Maguire pushed the ball towards the goal...

The next moment, the ball hits the net!

Although the header didn't have any force at all in a hurry, but it was only four meters away, but it couldn't make the defensive player react at all!

After seeing the ball fly into the goal, Maguire landed, and the crazy celebration began!

"They can score from scrimmage, we can also score from scrimmage!"

Kiya clapped his hands and said to Benelli with a big smile.

Indeed, like Real Madrid's goal, Southampton's goal was also scored in a corner kick. Du Yue's header was already very close to the goal. Maguire's Although this goal seems a bit lucky, it just proves that Southampton's offense is worthy of this goal!

The fans of Real Madrid booed one after another. In their opinion, Southampton was obviously at a disadvantage in the first half, and it was luck to equalize the score!

It's just that when the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the statistics of the first half made many people feel quite ridiculous.

The ball possession rate is almost the same for both sides, Southampton is slightly worse, also has 40.00%[-], and Real Madrid has two more shots, but the two sides are exactly the same when they hit the goal frame.

Judging from the scene, Southampton seems to be at a disadvantage, but the actual data, the two sides are almost the same!

It's really easy to make people feel absurd.

"In fact, Southampton is constantly counterattacking, and they have a lot of ball possession in the second half. After grabbing the control, they are constantly organizing attacks and looking for opportunities. It looks inconspicuous, but in fact they are constantly creating threats. ...so what looked like an accident of theirs was actually the inevitable result of their great performance!"

Amidst the shouts of the commentator, players from both sides entered the locker room. It was still early in the two rounds. It was obvious that the key to the game was in the second half, and even in the second round.

"The performance in the first half was good, and we must continue to maintain it in the second half...Real Madrid is in a good state in this game, so we don't have to confront them head-on, just keep entangled...Don't forget, we still have the second round of the game, when the time comes In our home court, we will perform better. This will be a very difficult two-legged match, we don’t think we can win casually, we have to be prepared to deal with two tough games.”

Ji Ya said in the locker room that the players nodded one after another. This is the situation they are facing at this time. It is impossible to decide such an important game in one game. Southampton won Barcelona four times in the first round at home. Zero, you have to be very careful in the second round to advance.

At this time, you can't relax for a moment.

In the locker room of the home team, Zidane expressed a similar attitude. He believes that these two games will be the most difficult this season, so Real Madrid players must show their best form, and then use enough patience and patience. Concentration is the only way to win these two rounds.

Another thing that annoyed Zidane was that Carvajal, who persisted for a few minutes in the first half, said that he couldn't hold on anymore. His injury was not serious, but if he played reluctantly, it would definitely aggravate the injury. Of course, Zidane would not do such a thing of exhaustion. He decisively replaced Carvajal with Nacho to maintain the running and integrity of the backcourt.

Nacho is a very comprehensive defender. He can play in all positions on the defensive line. Although he is mainly a right back, he has performed well in the positions of left back and center back. Such a substitute is indeed a very important thing.

"Although we attacked a lot in the first half, it was difficult to find opportunities in the penalty area... This is what we need to solve, understand? Look for opportunities in the penalty area more often. It doesn't work very well," Zidane concluded by addressing his players.

Real Madrid players nodded.
