[football] walk side by side

Not long after the start of the second half, the Real Madrid fans had not had time to recover from the blow before the end of the first half, and they soon ushered in another fatal blow!

In the 51st minute of the game, Cyril was brought down by Pepe outside the Real Madrid penalty area. The referee did not give Pepe a yellow card, but awarded Chelsea a free kick.

As the Real Madrid players lined up the wall, Cyril also stood in front of the free kick.

With the distance of this free kick, it is obviously impossible to directly kick the ball, and Chelsea can only consider the possibility of free kick cooperation.Besides, who doesn't know that Chelsea's core midfielder Cyril Slade is the worst at headers and free kicks.

Still, Casillas hesitated for a moment when he saw standing on the other side of the football: the free-kick, with Slade's and Lampard's quality, was unlikely to go straight into the goal, but he There is some uncertainty as to who will take the penalty between the two, or there may be some more unpredictable cooperation.

After thinking and hesitating for a short moment, the referee blew his whistle.

Cyril and Lampard moved forward at the same time. The difference was that Cyril jumped over the football and continued to run forward when he got close to the football. Lampard kicked the ball and hoisted the football to the ground. Left side of restricted area!

The Real Madrid players didn't realize in the first time who was the one who received the ball in the Chelsea team, especially when Cyril missed the ball and continued to run forward, which made them hesitate, but it was In such a short moment, Drogba, who was originally in the middle of the penalty area, suddenly pulled into the left lane, raised his foot towards the ball and shot angrily!

This time, Casillas was really caught off guard. He only had time to make a saving action, but this action was in the opposite direction from Drogba's shot. He could only look in the direction of the football and sigh with regret.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!! Beautiful free kick! Less than 6 minutes into the second half, Chelsea cut a bloody scar on Real Madrid's body in a very similar way! Slade sucked his teammate in the penalty area This allowed Drogba to put the football into the net with ease, and Casillas couldn't do anything about it!"

"2:2! It looks like Chelsea just equalized the score, but as long as fans who are familiar with the last game know, now their total score is 5:3, but Chelsea have one more away goal than Real Madrid, In other words, Real Madrid must score three goals in the second half if they want to win this game!"

For England commentator Andy Gray, there is no need for him to be polite to Real Madrid at this time, and he said bluntly: "Maybe what I said is a bit too arbitrary, but at least at this moment, I think so-- We are now fully ready to sentence Real Madrid to death."

"When Real Madrid fell behind Chelsea by two goals in the first leg, I always thought that this Real Madrid team might not have no hope of reversing, and it is indeed the case. In the first half, the cooperation between the players and Mourinho were appropriate. The tactics almost brought them back at one point - but that was the past tense of the first half, and now Chelsea have a two-goal advantage, and among them, there are also two precious away goals."

"It was a very good game and a contest of undeniable high level, whether it was Chelsea or Real Madrid, both sides showed their strength as giants, but Chelsea was obviously better and luckier. .If there were two goals in the first half, Real Madrid might be able to fight more and more bravely in the second half and achieve a reversal. But now it is impossible. Chelsea's miraculous two goals made them fall into the abyss. The blow to morale and the score In such a bad situation, whether Real Madrid can prevent the score from being further expanded is a problem!"

"Real Madrid's current situation is actually a bit like AC Milan six years ago," Andy Gray said: "They may not lose in terms of strength. The important thing is that they finally climbed out of the abyss, which made people see hope. , but was kicked back, and even fell even deeper, this feeling is really terrible..."

And in the face of such a situation, how many teams can cheer up, never give up, never admit defeat, and fight to the end?

He doesn't think Real Madrid can do it-at least six years ago in Istanbul, when AC Milan, the world's number one, couldn't do it.

Andy Gray's idea is not unreasonable, because it's not just him, even the Real Madrid fans at the scene have such an idea, and there are not a few at the moment.

It's not that I don't believe in my own players, but that everyone knows that it is too difficult to achieve a reversal under such circumstances!

This is no longer the difficulty of simply reversing two goals in a knockout match. If such a scene really happens, it is not called a shocking reversal, it is called Istanbul Night!

Unknowingly, the song "Come on, Madrid" that was flying in the audience gradually stopped. The Real Madrid fans were not even interested in booing Chelsea any more. The expression came, and there were low sobbing sounds from time to time, coming from the stands.

On the green field, Kaka looked at the scoreboard above the field and slowly stopped.

He couldn’t hear Andy Gray’s commentary, but it didn’t affect him recalling that devilish night six years ago, it seemed to be such a night, and facing such a tenacious and tenacious Premier League team, he was invincible AC Milan finally fell miserably in front of the Big Ears Cup.

Once again, in this way that couldn't be more embarrassing, lose the game, lose the champion who is close at hand, and become... the foil of the legend?

I'm really... not reconciled.

In front of the coaching bench of the home team, the Real Madrid coach stood there quietly.The strange thing is that until now, Mourinho has not shown any disappointment or frustration on his face.As usual, there was nothing but seriousness and grimness about that face.At this moment, he was staring at the field, not so much in disbelief, but rather thinking about something.

The Spanish commentator Rafael sighed helplessly: "Could it be that we really have to stop here?"

After 3 minutes or less, Mourinho took out the notebook he carried with him from his pocket, opened a blank page in it, bowed his head and began to write non-stop.

Time is still running.

Chelsea, having re-established their lead, became more aggressive in attack, just as Real Madrid did against Chelsea after two goals in the first half, and Chelsea did not let go of Real Madrid's emotional instability. A good opportunity, immediately blocked Real Madrid's goal, and launched attacks that made Real Madrid fans frightened again and again!

No one noticed Mourinho on the edge of the dugout, and neither did the Chelsea fans.

"Kaka can start to go forward. When attacking, Kaka and Cristiano want to become inside forwards, maintain the continuity of the midfield, and don't be too far away from Alonso and Diarra. Di Maria changed to play Libero, The position is behind Kaka and Cristiano."

"Cyril's speed is very fast. Pay attention to Pepe and keep an eye on him. The backcourt defense should pay attention to compressing the space for Chelsea's attack! Don't give Cyril space! Don't take it for granted. He has many ways to handle the ball. When necessary, he can Consider the foul, but be careful, don't get a penalty, don't get sent off!"

"After getting the ball in the backcourt, pass the ball to the front immediately! Staying in the backcourt for one more minute will be more dangerous! Cole is in a bad state today, and needs Cyril to help him from time to time. Breakthrough over there! This is a good opportunity!"

……

No one knows how many on-the-spot instructions Mourinho wrote down in that short 3 minutes-maybe only the Real Madrid players who received the small notes later know what instructions were written on the notes they received .

At this time, Andy Gray, who had been paying attention to the game, also noticed this scene. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and sarcastically said: "It seems that Mourinho is writing something on some small notes. What, is he planning to use these things to change the current situation? I have to say, he is too naive. Indeed, the Portuguese used this trick to win Barcelona at the Nou Camp, but he obviously didn't really see it. With that cruel score hanging on the pitch, which team does he think he's in charge of? Liverpool in 2005?"

Mourinho didn't hear his sarcasm - and would have fallen on deaf ears if he had.He quickly finished writing the tactical changes he wanted to express, then tore them out of the notebook one by one, and finally divided them in half, handing them to Faria behind him, and said succinctly: Pass it to the players as they pass the sideline."

Faria glanced at the old friend almost in astonishment.

Is Mourinho the kind of coach who will never give up on a game no matter where it goes?

Yes, but also no.

In the national derby that happened at Camp Nou this year, when Real Madrid fell behind by two goals, Mourinho was still thinking hard about how to equalize the score and turn the game into victory, at least not leave the Camp Nou as a loser , but when Barcelona scored the third goal, Mourinho chose to sit back on the coach's bench, his eyes drifting to the sky.

And the current situation, in essence, is any different from the national derby a few months ago?

However, Mourinho didn't seem to see the astonishment and bewilderment in his eyes at all. He calmly stuffed half of the note into Faria's hand, and took the other half of the note, turned and stepped on the lawn. edge.

Just when Faria thought that Mourinho would not respond to him again, the Real Madrid coach handed some of the notes to Kaka passing by, and said without looking back that he did not know it was for Faria , or to Kaka: "There are still 10 minutes until the game."

We... haven't lost yet!
