[Football] I'm just a defender

People who are not familiar with Isco will feel abnormal when they see him on the court for the first time. Far from being pleasing to the eye like a galloping Kaka, Isco gives people the feeling that he is not very good at running. Coordinated, in fact it seems to wobble even when walking.

Inward splayed, bowed legs, sagging hips, twisted buttocks... Anyway, many, many indecent things that are often corrected by parents will be reflected in him.

Isco, who came to Real Madrid after Ozil, is considered to be one of the reasons why the Germans were squeezed out. Even if the two are not similar, people often compare Isco with Ozil, just like the original I love to compare Ozil and Kaka, who are not the same.

And when he came to Real Madrid, he soon became the darling of the fans with his brisk and highly entertaining style of play. His clear thinking and high efficiency made the critical media seem to be more tolerant of him. protect it.Zidane called him a 'little magician' and commented on him that he can do things that others can't do or even think of.Even before coming to the club, his favorite team was Barcelona, ​​and he named his labrador dog 'Messi', and when he officially became a Real Madrid player, he was able to get along with everyone very quickly.

Of course, according to him, he calls the Labrador Messi because Messi is the best in the world, and he thinks his dog is also the best dog in the world.When Fran heard about this point, he was a little bit unconvinced while thinking about Sisko's heartless amnesia.

Speaking of this, it's just because when Fran kicked the shot, most people on the court thought it was more like an airplane ball to vent their anger and didn't care, but Isco was the moment the football flew. Just followed and galloped forward.His pace is not very coordinated, and his running speed is not one of the best, but when the camera is shown on him, no one can ignore the threat he is about to create.

The chance of overtaking the score seemed to be in sight, and it was Ronaldo who rushed back after Isco.Offside or anti-offside?There is no anti-offside at all, because they have already run past Juventus' Lichtsteiner and Evra during this heavy artillery flight, and they are about to break into the penalty area.

After Isco received the ball from the left side of the penalty area, because he was very close to the goal, Buffon chose to attack. Isco was very calm and made a false shot. Buffon did not touch the ball. Ronaldo rushed in front of the goal. Center beam.

With Ronaldo's football hitting the crossbar this time, the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu Stadium all hugged their heads and expressed disbelief.This is already the seventh time that Real Madrid's Champions League trip this season has almost hit the goal frame. People have to wonder if the goddess of the Champions League this season is not on the same side as last season's champion.

But the attack was not over yet. The football that hit the crossbar bounced back into the penalty area. Marcelo, who appeared in front of the football one step ahead of Chiellini, shot with his toe, but he rubbed against the crossbar because of too much force. out.

"I have to say that Marcelo properly demonstrated for Chiellini what a clearance is 2333." Some Juventus fans saw that this round of crisis was lifted, so they complained.

Ronaldo and Marcelo looked at each other with confused expressions, and it seems that they still can't believe that they really missed this rare opportunity.Isco pursed his mouth and felt a little regretful, but he didn't say much.

The game continued with both sides attempting to break the deadlock by blasting the football into the other's goal.Real Madrid's defense has shrunk in an all-round way, and Morata is a little impatient because he has not made any achievements so far. After all, there is still a slight gap between the Champions League experience and Real Madrid's defense.However, Real Madrid's striker was really unlucky today. When they bombarded around the Juventus goal in the second half, they were either blocked by Buffon's extraordinary performance, or the football hit the Juventus defender and was blocked unconsciously.

The 1-1 tie score is still maintained, and it is still unknown whether it will be dragged into overtime.

The one who couldn't hold on first was Pirlo of Juventus. Allegri replaced the Juventus midfielder at No. 80 two minutes in regular time.In Allegri's view, if there is not much change, the score of 1-1 in both home and away games will not change in regular time.The 36-year-old Pirlo was very tired. The Italian who was substituted didn't say much. Allegri patted his shoulder and sat on the bench.

At the end of this season, he will be transferred to the American Major League. Pirlo sincerely hopes to get a Champions League for Juventus as the best farewell.But now, he can only place his expectations on his teammates.

On the side of the Real Madrid coaching staff, Ancelotti frowned slightly and watched Forlan's state, but he couldn't tell whether it was because he didn't have as much physical exertion as before or because he was more excited. Now it seems that he has entered at least the first half of overtime field is no problem.

If it will be dragged into a penalty shootout, he probably won't be on the list.Such a thought suddenly appeared in Ancelotti's mind.

The regular time game is coming to an end, and Juventus is holding the ball in the last round of offensive. He tries hard to dribble and guide Forlan to the sideline. He wants to stay away from Ramos' position.

After pulling Forlan to the side, Vidal passed the ball to Tevez's attacking route rushing down the left, and then rushed towards the restricted area behind Forlan.Vidal wants to cooperate with Tevez to complete a two-for-one. If successful, he will directly break into the penalty area. Real Madrid's defenders must also consider their own defense in the penalty area.

Carvajal's side is bound to expose the gap in attack. This is an opportunity, an opportunity to send Juventus to the Champions League final.

But this is only Vidal's idea after all.

In the two-for-one cooperation, Carvajal had already defended Tevez who got the ball when he saw Tevez stepped forward.Tevez saw that his teammates were about to throw off Forlan and kicked the football touch to the front of Vidal.But the second Vidal thought he had gotten rid of the defense, he saw Forlan appearing in his forward line and knocked the football across to Ramos.Ramos was stunned when he got the ball. Although he saw that there was not much time, he passed it on to Kroos again for him to make the next round of scheduling.

After Vidal stopped suddenly, he still bumped into Fran. He was a little unbelievable, even if Fran was faster than himself?In this situation, he turned around and started to speed again. No matter what, he should be behind in speed. How could he appear in front of him?

But it can be clearly shown through the camera that, unlike Vidal's prediction, Forlan's response is different. After turning around, Forlan is not so much fighting for the football, it is better to say that half of his body is directly stuck in Vidal's forward line.

Fran blocked Vidal's advancing route, making it impossible for the opponent to speed up, let alone explode and speed up to get rid of him.Relying on physical strength to overwhelm opponents and chasing after falling behind was the way Fran would choose in the past, but this time, Fran chose to block.

As Real Madrid's attack ended in vain, the referee blew the whistle to stop the game. After all, the game was dragged into overtime as expected.For this overtime game, Real Madrid is more threatening than Juventus. Ancelotti regrets why he didn't score more goals at home in Juventus.

According to the rules of the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Champions League knockout round adopts a home and away knockout system from the 1/8 finals to the semi-finals. On the one hand, according to most cases, the player with the highest total number of goals or the most away goals in a tie will advance.Two 1-1 games such as Real Madrid and Juventus will enter extra time.The Champions League overtime 0-0 dragged into a penalty shootout, and if there was a tie with a goal, the overtime goal would be counted as the home team's game score, allowing the visiting team to advance.

The Real Madrid team looked serious. In the next 10 minutes of overtime, if Juventus scored a goal, Real Madrid can only advance to the Champions League final by creating two goals.

Fran listened to Ancelotti's game arrangement, drank water and did not speak, and the team doctor next to him took turns moving the players' legs to prevent the muscles from being too tense after a short rest.Scoring two goals in 10 minutes, Fran thought, seeing how unlucky he is today, he might as well hope for a penalty shootout.

He glanced at Casillas who was silently adjusting the goalkeeper's glove, and happened to meet Cassie's eyes.Casillas was slightly taken aback, and for some reason he suddenly raised his clenched fist towards Fran. Fran froze for a moment, and when he realized it, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the clenched fist hit Cassine, who was wearing gloves and was bigger than himself. On several fists.

In the unhappy conversation that took place in the locked locker room, neither Casillas nor Forlan mentioned anything to anyone, and the two of them seemed to be nothing when they got along with each other in their daily lives. Nothing happened.But in fact, how could it be so easy to forget this matter? At least when the two of them talk, they always subconsciously consider whether the other party's words have any specific deep meaning.

The two of them are still good friends of each other, but after all, the friendship that they have been together for 20 years and walked side by side for more than ten years has been damaged.

But they both understand that Igor Casillas is only used to the defense with Forlan in front of him, while Francisco Alvarez only trusts the goalkeeper with Igor behind him.

No matter if the defender is a bastard who goes to the first team with a weed in his mouth, a cheat who occasionally scores an own goal, or a first defender who often turns the tide.

No matter whether the goalkeeper is a fat man with tears streaming down his face and unable to eat candy, a Real Madrid captain with a desire to control, or the number one goalkeeper with a hundred palms and a thousand arms that no one can break.

As long as the other party is still persisting, I have more reasons to persist.

The game restarted, and Real Madrid's defense line shrunk more obviously, but it did not give up the opportunity to attack in the midfield.Real Madrid's rhythm slowed down, and the two-back configuration in the second half of the season has long made it difficult to distinguish whether it is Ramos or Forlan who dominates.

With the passing of time, Barcelona in the other half has successfully eliminated Guardiola-led Bayern Munich to advance to the final, while Real Madrid, Juventus, Iker Casillas and Buffon were evenly matched at the Bernabeu, making many people even Some look forward to a penalty shootout.

A truly unpredictable, probably resigned penalty shootout.

Ancelotti is watching the time on the sidelines, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes... Juventus obviously also has infinite trust in their goalkeeper, especially now that the news reports that Casillas's state is declining. The Italians, who were optimistic about the ball game, were not too enthusiastic about offense, for fear that Real Madrid would lose all their previous efforts if they stole a goal.

There are still 10 minutes left in the second half of overtime, and the stoppage time given by the referee is only 2 minutes at most, and there is even the possibility of going directly to a penalty shootout.Ancelotti watched the people coming and going on the court, and already part of his mind was thinking about the candidate for the penalty shootout.

Compared with Allegri, who has run out of substitutions, Ancelotti still has a substitution.He signaled the assistant coach to warm up with Varane, and it would be more reliable to replace Forlan at the end of the game.

But a slow pace does not mean a low level. Ramos, who forced Tevez's side attack out of the sideline and won the throw-in ball, pressed on the side. Midfielder Ronaldo suddenly crossed the middle. Isco The oblique insertion and Ronaldo's swap gave Cross, who had received a pass from Ramos, a very loose space to control the ball.

Cross made a cross pass to J Ronaldo who advanced forward. J Ronaldo did not drive the ball forward, but knocked the ball directly to the top of the arc of the penalty area, where Ronaldo faced the double-teaming of Bonucci and Evra The jumping header sent the football to the right side of the penalty area. Benzema was already ready to go. He faced the ball and shot angrily, but Buffon jumped up high and hugged him tightly in his arms.

Without the slightest hesitation, Buffon directly kicked the football towards Real Madrid's half-court. Due to Real Madrid's style, the temporary attack made their defense suddenly loose.Allegri stood on the sidelines anxiously watching this round of offense, watching Barzagli who successfully stopped the ball with his chest, watching Vidal who swayed past Carvajal after receiving the ball, and watching the player who replaced Morata. Llorente got the ball on the right side of the penalty area and inserted it into the penalty area without any obstruction.

"A chance for Juventus! From Buffon's kick, through a series of passes from Barzagli and Vidal, Llorente successfully seized Real Madrid's one loophole since nearly 24 minutes of extra time, and even the only one. A loophole! Only Francisco Alvarez and Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas are left in front of him!"

In fact, it is more accurate to say that Llorente is facing Casillas directly. Casillas in the middle is watching every move of Llorente who is dribbling the ball, and Fran is still chasing back frantically.Shooting faster can allow Casillas to save, and adjusting slower can allow him to defend and save.

However, Llorente's choice was not as ideal as Fran thought. His decision was too calm. He raised his right foot and aimed at the near corner of the goal. Casillas was completely convinced that when his right foot was about to touch the football Full swing to the right side.But the reason for using the word "is about to" is because Llorente stepped straight in front of the football with his right foot, hooked the ball with his left foot from the back position, and adjusted the angle to aim at the middle and far corner of the goal.

Casillas, who fell to the ground, had no time to react.

"The one-on-one between the striker and the goalkeeper, no matter how you say it, the striker has a great advantage! Llorente completely deceived Casillas, in front of him was an empty Real Madrid goal! Llorente shot! G.. ..."

The commentator's goal celebration was instantly caught in his throat.

A figure flew up in front of the goal, and before the football within the goal frame hit the right arm of his aerial body, it bounced back to the field, and was kicked out of the sideline by Ramos, who was a step behind and returned to the defense.

If this body belongs to Casillas, then this will be a god-like save. Casillas' defense of this ball is enough to make up for his mistakes since the season.

But no, Casillas hadn't had time to make a follow-up reaction after getting up.

Fran, who fell on the field, was relieved to see that the attack was completely stopped. In the next second, the entire Bernabéu stadium was booed wildly by thousands of Juventus fans who came to the scene with the team.Fran slowly got up from the ground. Instead of looking at the angry Juventus players, he just shrugged his shoulders at Casillas and said silently, it's up to you.

Llorente was obviously annoyed by Forlan's crazy behavior. A goal he could have turned the tide was destroyed in this way, and he wanted to beat the Real Madrid defender violently.The referee on duty in this game ran over quickly and blocked Llorente first.

The referee turned around and raised a red card at Fran, and then pointed to the penalty spot. There is no doubt that such an intentional handball is an illegal action of a red card + penalty.

This is the first direct red card of Forlan's career so far.

This is the only bad foul in Forlan's career that violates professional ethics.

The author has something to say: there is no doubt about intentional handball, the red dot should not be excessive.

In the next chapter, we will continue to discuss the issue of professional ethics and game results, which is more important
