Chapter 250: Another Heavy Blow
Although Tottenham had a considerable physical advantage in this game, leading Real Madrid 3-1 on aggregate, George and his players were not taken lightly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After all, AC Milan's four-goal reversal by Deportivo La Coruna with a 4-1 win in the first leg has only recently passed, and no one wants to repeat the mistakes of the Rossoneri and be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame.
Therefore, for the second leg of the match with Real Madrid, the players can be said to be cautious and cautious, and there is no slightest carelessness at all!
Soon, with the whistle of referee Friske, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid was officially announced in front of the 36,000 fans in attendance!
As soon as the game began, the Real Madrid players, who had been given the kick-off, rushed towards Tottenham's door - after losing 3-1 in the first leg, the already dire situation of promotion had to seize every minute to put the aggregate on top. Otherwise, what awaits them will be the tragic ending of the Galactic Battleship in the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup!
Trying to score three goals in a row in 90 minutes without allowing the opposition to score is an extremely difficult task for any team. Not to mention a team like Real Madrid that has a lot of superstars in the front, but the back line is scum to death and all kinds of cheats!
The Real Madrid players are well aware of the difficulty of this task, but they have been pushed into a corner and have no choice at this time - if the team stops at the last 16 of the Champions League when they are already eight points behind Barcelona in La Liga, then the criticism from the fans and the media alone will be enough to completely drown them out and make the "Galaxy Battleship" sign a complete joke!
Because the players were physically energetic in the opening stage, Real Madrid's offensive was still quite sharp in the first ten minutes of the game. Superstars such as Ronaldo, Raul, Zinedine Zidane and Figo have their own talents, putting great defensive pressure on Tottenham's backline!
But even then, the Real Madrid players failed to score the goal that was crucial for them. In the fifteenth minute of the game, the score was still 0-0 and nothing changed - it was clear that Tottenham's backline had once again withstood the test of Real Madrid's superstars and proved their quality!
If Real Madrid's attack is as surging as the tide and seems to have the upper hand, then Tottenham's defence is like a big net full of elasticity, no matter how fierce Real Madrid's attack is, they can react immediately and keep the Galaxy attack firmly out of their own door!
Of course, although the big net woven by the Tottenham players is extremely tight, successfully intercepting most of Real Madrid's attack, but in general, they rely more on Allegri's carefully crafted defensive system to defend, basically. After all, there aren't many players who can defend against these superstars in a one-on-one situation, and Nemanja Vidic and Ledley King, who are strong, are not among them. Therefore, once Real Madrid starts the formation to compete for individual ability, Tottenham players can only bite the bullet and go head-to-head with these superstars, or make trade-offs, and choose key targets to defend!
And there is a good saying, it is called a hundred secrets will eventually have a sparse. Tottenham's defence is tight, but there will inevitably be times when there is a lack of concentration or a lack of timely recognisance. And these superstars of Real Madrid have the best ability to find loopholes and seize opportunities!
In the twenty-sixth minute of the game, Ronaldo, who pulled out of the penalty area, suddenly started after receiving Zidane's ball. The alien shook off Vidic with his powerful instantaneous explosiveness and speed, and although Ledley King rushed over to make up for the defense at the first time, he still couldn't stop Ronaldo's breakthrough!
However, after bursting into the box, Ronaldo did not choose to continue to drive with the ball, but fired a low shot from a tight angle from 12 meters from goal - due to injuries and uncontrolled nightlife, Ronaldo's physical condition is not as good as before, especially in terms of endurance and fitness. Therefore, even if the alien relied on his explosive power, which had not yet degraded significantly, to force his way through the central defence of Ledley King and Vidic, he would not have the confidence and stamina to go head-to-head with Cech!
Although his physicality has declined from his prime, Ronaldo's low shot still shows his quality as a top striker, not only with great speed but also with extremely tricky angles. Despite his best efforts to stretch his arms and try to change the course of the ball, the Czech goalkeeper couldn't get his hands on the alien's shot!
Unfortunately, Ronaldo's shot did not fly into the back of the net after hitting the far post, although it bypassed Cech's ten fingers, but bounced off the bottom line after hitting the far post!
Seeing this scene, countless Real Madrid fans sighed - if Ronaldo's shot can bring Real Madrid a goal, then the Galaxy Battleship will be much easier to play in this game, and the morale of the team will be greatly improved. At that time, the morale-boosted Real Madrid is likely to win Tottenham Hotspur in one go and advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup!
Ronaldo's shot once again set off a frenzy of Real Madrid's attack. For the next ten minutes, Zinedine Zidane, Figo, Raul and even Carlos at the back stepped up to test a Cech's goalkeeping ability. However, several counterattacks on Tottenham's side were intercepted by Samuel and Elgra in advance due to the insufficient passes of Alonso and Davies, and failed to form enough threats!
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Real Madrid players who are attacking with all their strength have not noticed that their formation has been pressed too high, and Samuel and Elguera have even mentioned near the center circle of the stadium to ensure that the team's three lines will not be disconnected. This also means that as long as Tottenham withstands this offensive and plays a quick counterattack, then it is very likely that Real Madrid will die!
In the 35th minute, the opportunity was belatedly waited by the Tottenham players - Raul's turning shot from inside the box was blocked by Nemanja Vidic and Mascherano cleared the ball out of the box. Alonso, who received the ball, did not wait for Graveson to step forward to interfere, and sent a long pass again, kicking the ball towards the right side of Ronaldo!
At this time, the consequences of Carlos's excessive pressure on the offensive end finally appeared, and the vacuum on the left side of the defense caused by the Brazilians allowed Ronaldo to get the space to gallop to his heart's content!
Ronaldo, who formed a single knife trend, was not greedy, and in the face of Casillas, who attacked and blocked, the Portuguese made a fake shot and a real pass, knocking the ball to Klose who followed up in the middle!
Faced with most of the empty goals, Klose had no intention of wasting the good intentions of his teammates. I saw the Germans shoot the ball into the gate in front of them!
