[football] walk side by side

On the court, after taking the note related to himself from Kaka, Cristiano looked down quickly, then turned his head and nodded to Mourinho on the sidelines.

After finally equalizing with two goals, but immediately being overtaken by the opponent with two goals, it is a very shocking thing for every Real Madrid player.

But even so, after a short period of pain, Cristiano forcibly kneaded the frustration into a ball and threw it away.He will not, nor is he willing to give up this game just like that, but for the current Real Madrid, every minute is precious, standing on the court, he is naturally unwilling to waste precious time on emotional adjustment.

Because of this, when Cristiano received a small note from Mourinho, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He can guarantee that he will not give up the game, but he cannot guarantee that his coach and his teammates will not be frustrated by it. Among them, the most important thing is the fighting spirit from the head coach.How can a team fight back when even the head coach of the team has given up hope for the game?

In the 5-0 defeat at the Nou Camp a few months ago, apart from the mentality of the Real Madrid players themselves, and Mourinho as the head coach, he sat on the coaching bench after the team fell behind by three goals Attitude is also inseparable-although falling behind by three goals at the Nou Camp is indeed a desperate thing that makes it difficult to bring up the idea of ​​​​a counterattack.

In any case, the national derby incident has become a thing of the past, and the top priority now is the game in front of us.

To win this game, it is not enough to rely on the strength of one person-Real Madrid needs the tactical help of the head coach, and also needs the team to reinvigorate and unite as one.

But right now the head coach first expresses his thoughts with practical actions, which is also a very important spiritual comfort for the players on the field, and it can also allow the players to get out of their depressed mood as soon as possible.

It turns out that Cristiano was right.

Because just when Mourinho's tactical changes were successfully conveyed to every corresponding player, Cristiano did see a gradual emotional change in them that was gradually developing in a good direction. eyes, but said nothing.

In this state where the game is going on, all dry words are a waste of time. Cristiano does not intend to use words to boost the morale of his teammates-he chose to express his position with direct actions.

When the game continued, Cristiano began to be more active than in the first half, even more active than Chelsea at this time.He is no longer limited to offense, and has repeatedly made moves to actively return to defense regardless of physical strength.

After receiving the ball in the middle circle, Cyril quickly played a long pass forward.

This is his first long pass of the game.

Since the pass in the first round of the game, Cyril had completely abandoned the long pass in this game after three long pass errors because of Cristiano guessing the goal.

In fact, the long pass itself is extremely unstable among many passing methods. First of all, it has to pass through many players, and the passer wants the football to pass accurately between the players instead of hitting it directly. It is not an easy task in itself to be under someone's feet, or to intercept it halfway in advance.

And even if it penetrates the defense line and teleports to a fixed player, it is bound to cause the opponent player to see the direction the football is flying in advance and actively grab points, which may result in the possibility of being intercepted.

As a result, Cyril naturally refused to use long passes any more.

And now he is using a long pass again, and he didn't expect the pass to be accurately passed to the feet of any Chelsea player. He just took advantage of the instability of Real Madrid's defense and used the instability of the long pass to make the opponent's defense It's just more messy.

Cyril sent the football to Real Madrid's backcourt with one kick.

The ball passed directly between Di Maria and Kaka, and continued to fly forward-no doubt, Cyril did it on purpose.He didn't intend to be on Cristiano's side, or even if he wasn't stopped by Cristiano, he would be chased by him. Cyril never doubted Cristiano's fighting spirit in the game.

Not at any time.

At this time, Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky Sports, was still explaining: "Slade...a long pass! He passed between Di Maria and Kaka smoothly, and was hardly blocked. Oh! Ronaldo passed from Chased from the right side, his speed is very fast, but obviously the positional disadvantage and the speed of the football itself make this hopeless. At this time, Real Madrid's backcourt is cruising with Chelsea players. Real Madrid is in danger! Huh? wait wait wait!"

Andy Gray, who was still explaining in a calm tone, immediately widened his eyes, and his tone was full of incredible shock: "Ka, Kaka—Kaka! Kaka is flying!!"

At this moment, on the green field where thousands of people are staring in astonishment, that Real Madrid No. [-] who is running wildly along the sidewalk, is it not Kaka, who is it?

Speaking of how fast Kaka is, many people may immediately think of the friendly match between Brazil and Argentina in 2006. In that match at the Emirates Stadium, Kaka ran 60 meters with the ball. Messi without the ball can only look behind.

Therefore, the "flying" in Andy Gray's mouth at this time can be said to be without any exaggeration. Maybe the feet of the Real Madrid No. [-] player have never left the ground, but from the perspective of an outsider Looking at it from the outside, the speed at which he sprints on the sidewalk is no different from flying!

What's more, at this time, Kaka was running without the ball, and he didn't have the ball under his feet at all!

Until Kaka caught up with the football and controlled the ball under his feet, Andy Gray was in a stunned state.

This... this is impossible!

As he said, the situation of Real Madrid in front of him is almost no less than that of AC Milan back then. As a member of AC Milan, Kaka should be the one with the deepest feeling in this team, and he should also be the one who suffered the most. That one is right!how come?

But it wasn't just this scene that surprised him.

Not long after Kaka received the ball, Drogba and Sturridge, who had been waiting outside the penalty area of ​​Real Madrid, immediately rushed over from left to right. It's not in Chelsea's penalty area. Even if you pass these two people, it will be of no use to Real Madrid.

He controlled the football under his feet, and took the opportunity of turning around to swipe past Drogba who was facing him. Before Sturridge approached, Kaka pulled the football forward and the ball passed Sturridge's head flew straight to Alonso in the air!

Just like Mourinho explained, Alonso did not let the football stay under his feet for too long. At this time, Chelsea was mainly attacking. There were many players in Real Madrid's half. Staying here for one more second represents one second of danger. He looked up and glanced ahead, and immediately sent the football to Di Maria's side.

Di Maria threw off Ramirez and continued to run forward. According to Mourinho's arrangement, his position has changed from an offensive midfielder parallel to Kaka and Cristiano to a free man, and ambushed Behind Cristiano and Kaka.

At this time, Kaka was still running from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Di Maria could pass the ball forward only to Cristiano and Benzema who immediately turned forward after the team turned to counterattack. Lampard approached and made a fake pass to the right, but suddenly changed the center of gravity under his feet, and quickly sent the ball to the opposite left!

Di Maria wanted to pass the ball to Cristiano, but Cristiano's own threat was doomed. Even at this time, he was still the key target of Chelsea's defense. Di Maria couldn't find a chance, so he could only pass the football To Benzema, who is relatively less strictly guarded.

However, at this moment, most people did not expect that Real Madrid not only held Chelsea's offense, but immediately counterattacked back-among the majority of people, Real Madrid's own players were also included.

In this way, the options facing Benzema become quite limited.At the moment when there is basically no teammate to cooperate in the frontcourt, he can only continue to dribble forward by himself, while secretly hoping that some teammates can catch up in time.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long. Cristiano over there temporarily got rid of the defense and followed up. Benzema made a fake shot 25 meters in front of the goal, waiting for Essien to stretch his foot to block it. At that time, he snapped the football back again, went around behind him, tapped his heel, and passed it to Cristiano, who had already run outside the penalty area to meet him.

At this moment, he was facing the same tight defense from Chelsea, but the distribution of his teammates around him made him unable to have more choices. He could only force a shot against the pressure of Terry!

The ball hit the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

Cristiano shook his head regretfully, but he didn't know that the Chelsea fans in the stands broke into a cold sweat after being frightened by Real Madrid!

The Chelsea fans were a little shocked, and Andy Gray was embarrassed. He just said that Real Madrid will definitely lose their fighting spirit and wait for failure. Can that series of performances be called losing fighting spirit?

This is obviously more like an enraged lion, okay? !

The Spanish commentator Rafael also looked surprised at this time, but compared to Andy Gray's embarrassing stunned, Rafael was pure surprise: "Unbelievable! Facing the situation of falling behind by two goals again, Real Madrid players Showing their tenacious fighting spirit! Chelsea originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to attack, but they didn't expect Real Madrid to have no chaos at all!"

"Yes, this is Real Madrid's players! This is Real Madrid! So what if we are two goals behind? We can recover the first two goals behind, and we can recover the second! The game is not over! We still have three 10 Minutes to change the ending!"

His words—more precisely, the attitude shown by the Real Madrid players on the field, directly affected the mentality of the Real Madrid fans in the stands, and many fans rekindled their hopes. , muster up confidence, and continue to cheer for the team passionately!

Mourinho looked at everything that happened in front of him, his face was as calm as water, as expected.

Why haven't you given up your pursuit of victory?

If it was the past, Mourinho might really have chosen to give up like the game at the Nou Camp, because Chelsea is really a very difficult opponent today. It is too difficult to win the game with three goals.

However, when the scoreboard above the stadium changed the score again, Mourinho suddenly remembered the scene during the intermission.

At that time, it was the rest time after Cyril played personally and re-established the lead for Chelsea. Before entering the dressing room, Mourinho thought hard about what to do if the players were in a bad mood. Words and methods to inspire their fighting spirit.

Originally, two goals equalized should be the best way to inspire the players, but Cyril staged a star-like goal in the final stoppage time. This goal not only directly re-guaranteed Chelsea's lead, It is even hard not to cause a psychological blow to Real Madrid as the opponent.

But it wasn't until Mourinho actually walked into the locker room and made eye contact with all the players within reach that he suddenly realized that he had actually made a mistake.

At that time, the Real Madrid dressing room was no different from the past. Everyone was soothing themselves in their own way. They didn’t seem to need comfort or encouragement. The only one with a different expression was Cristiano, who sat in his position silently. On the face, there is regret and gloom on the face.

Mourinho is used to this, because in his memory since he took charge of Real Madrid, Cristiano almost always has such an expression every time the team is in a bad situation. This does not mean that he is psychologically frustrated, but just It's just out of dissatisfaction with myself and the status quo of the team.

This will not affect his game state, it will only make him look for opportunities for the team more desperately in the second half.

Since the players were not affected, Mourinho didn't say anything more.Although his endless trash talking in the face of the media always makes people feel rambling, but in fact Mourinho is not a talkative person in private, and with the limited time for intermission, he will not talk about it again. Rambling about something.

Because the moment he pushed the door open, he suddenly figured it out.

For Chelsea players, the stumbling days without the Champions League for nearly ten years is a nightmare, but for Real Madrid players, the Champions League has been repeatedly trampled by other teams and turned into a laughing stock. Isn't it a nightmare?

Standing on this field, the two opposing teams have also reached the edge of the cliff and lost all retreat.

How strong can a team's obsession with the championship be?

Mourinho does not dare to say what kind of changes this spiritual power will bring to both sides of the game, but at least there is one thing that he cannot be more sure of at this moment——

For the current Real Madrid and Chelsea, there may be no worse situation that can make them slump on the court and stop running.

The two sides returned to the middle circle, and when they kicked off again, the scene of this game entered a stalemate again.

Cyril was not surprised that Real Madrid was catching up, but he did not expect that this scene would come so soon, and within a few minutes of buffer time, this Real Madrid team became the team that persevered for the beginning of the game again.But...it doesn't matter anymore.

Now there are less than 10 minutes left in the game.

If Real Madrid wants to win the game, they must score at least three more goals.Cyril doesn't want to consider the possibility. From Chelsea's point of view, he feels that there is no need for Chelsea to entangle with Real Madrid. In this situation, Chelsea's own advantages and the few remaining It was enough time for Chelsea to give up their offense, retreat to their positions, and conduct a comprehensive defense.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Cyril received the ball and was surrounded by Pepe and Diarra. He didn't think about passing the ball forward or passing the man directly. In fact, the defense line in front of Real Madrid did not pass him the ball forward. However, Cyril didn't mind the opportunity. He knocked his foot and sent the football back to the Chelsea half, and turned around and ran back.

He started to step back into the Chelsea half, organizing the defense and stabilizing the defense.

As Chelsea's field commander, Cyril's action basically foretold Chelsea's next tactics.

Strictly guard against death.

Except for Drogba and Ramirez cruising around the center circle, catching the ball from time to time and continuing to dribble forward, in order to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense, thereby reducing the pressure on Chelsea's defense, the vast majority of Chelsea The players stayed in their own positions. Even Drogba and Ramirez would return to Chelsea's midfield from time to time, acting as a defensive midfielder, wandering and sweeping the connection between the midfield and the backcourt.

In this way, Real Madrid's offense will undoubtedly become more difficult.

In the 67th minute of the game, Alonso passed a pass to Cristiano from the backcourt. The latter broke through to 25 meters outside the penalty area and shot a powerful long shot. The football hit the goal frame and was bounced back. Xinwa made a big-foot clearance and sent back to the middle circle.

In the 75th minute of the game, Cristiano received the ball again. He dribbled the ball from the right to the outside of the penalty area, but was forced to the boundary by Bosingwa and John Terry. Chelsea's defense prevented him from finding the right angle to shoot and In neutral, he could barely try a shot from the wing.

The football skidded off the left post and flew off the baseline.

In the live channel of Sky Sports, Andy Gray, who recovered from the shock, continued: "I believe that many fans should be familiar with the scene in front of them. In the last round of the Stamford Bridge battle, Chelsea relied on their iron barrel formation to hold on to the 3-1 score tenaciously until the last second, and now there are 15 minutes before the end of the game, Chelsea took a huge advantage and once again chose the iron barrel formation."

"In the Premier League, Chelsea has always been known for its stable defense. Especially when Slade, who organizes the offense, also retreats to the defense to assist the defense, Chelsea's defense will only become more stable. In this case, Real Madrid It's only going to be harder to break Chelsea's defense..."

However, just like last time, this time, he also failed to finish his sentence.

In the 76th minute of the game, Las Diarra squeezed the opponent's space in a body collision with Ramirez. Alonso assisted and shoveled the football.

After Alonso got the ball in the center circle, he quickly dribbled forward. He used a wall-hitting pass in Chelsea's frontcourt and Di Maria, and rushed through the gap between Sturridge and Drogba. Alonso This side just came over and passed the ball to Kaka on the left.

Kaka dribbled the ball from the left to the middle, and Essien followed him from the left. Kaka let him stay behind him and didn't care, and continued to dribble forward. At the same time, Lamo Si looked at the right time in the backcourt and suddenly advanced from the right!

Since this game, Real Madrid has launched many threatening attacks from the wing. Ashley Cole dare not underestimate Ramos who rushed to the frontcourt. The opponent has no ball at his feet. Ashley Cole I don't dare to get too close to Ramos because of this, what if he is just here to attract defensive attention?He kept a distance of nearly 6-7 meters from Ramos, and he was serious.

Kaka pulled, pulled, and the two balls shook, so Essien could only watch his back running farther and farther away. Terry didn't rush forward. He chose to fight with Bosingwa, one left and one The right side pushed Kaka out of the boundary as much as possible, but the latter swayed past Bosingwa and broke through to the bottom line to cross!

Terry and Bosingwa are still at Kaka's side at this time, Cole is staring at Ramos, and has not had time to transfer, and it is too late for Cyril to replace Cole at this time!

And standing where Kaka passed the ball was the person that every Chelsea player least wanted to see!

The unmarked Cristiano received the ball with ease.

The only one standing in front of him was Lampard, who was originally near him.

Many Chelsea fans present stood up in panic, what the hell?Why is that Ronaldo left unmarked?Can Lampard stop him alone?

Lampard was at peace when he found himself facing Cristiano alone.

Although the Chelsea deputy seems more like an offensive midfielder than a defensive midfielder, in fact, although Lampard's defensive ability is not particularly good, he has successfully stopped, intercepted the ball, and blocked many stars. .

And among them, there are no players like Messi and Harvey.

In the short moment of their confrontation, Lampard sorted out his thoughts.

If possible, try to use blocking and anticipation to steal the ball from Cristiano's feet. If you can't, then even if the cost is a foul, you can't let him go any further!

Cristiano raised his foot calmly, and the center of gravity of his body moved accordingly, making a posture of breaking through to the left. Almost at the same moment he made such a move, Lampard also made a move of moving his center of gravity to the left, however In the next second, Cristiano pushed with his heel, and the ball continued to go backwards!

This action made Lampard couldn't help but widen his eyes, wait!When did Ronaldo become so generous?Breaking through this position is a chance for him to shoot. With his ability, the possibility of this shot is very high!He actually gave up the chance to shoot at such an important time to others?

However, at this moment, Lampard can't afford to think too much.

Because at the same moment when Cristiano knocked the ball back, Di Maria, who had been ambushing not far behind Cristiano, immediately swung his foot and hit the football rolling towards him hard!

Lampard is less than one meter away from Cristiano, but close to six meters away from Di Maria-this distance makes Lampard have no time to react!

The ball smoothly passed through the gap pulled out by Kaka and Ramos, and also passed Cech's stretched hands and rolled into the net.

Chelsea fans hadn't had time to panic about the goal.

Real Madrid fans have not had time to cheer for the goal.

1 minutes.

Just 1 minute later——

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Cristiano-Ronaldo! Cristiano-Ronaldo!!!" Spanish commentator Rafael crazily shouted the name of the Real Madrid player standing not far from the goal, full of surprise and excitement. He said to himself in a dazed way: "Three minutes... two goals?"

Above the Bernabéu stadium of Nuo University, the scoreboard hanging in the sky also changed correspondingly with the game——

4:2.

The home team is ahead.
