167 chapter 167
Forlan didn't say this because he was hostile to Mourinho, but he felt it was useless, as it literally meant. Because even if Casillas leaves, Mourinho will not come back.
Do these fans know? Most of them certainly know that Mourinho is just a reason to ostracize the club's captaincy.
In fact, Fran appeared to speak for himself in this situation, and Casillas would not be too surprised. He's actually such a person, regardless of the object, and he will do a lot of things that he thinks are right, and he will do them obediently, regardless of what it is for him. Correspondingly, he will point out if he feels that something is wrong, and what will happen next up is not in his consideration.
As on the pitch, Fran didn't fail to think of a way to help Casillas without putting himself in it. But there is nothing wrong with being simple and rude, he can openly speak for Eevee on the radio when he is young, he is getting older, and he seems to have a gentle smile because of the change in temper, but there is not much difference in his heart.
But all these disputes caused by the competition can only be resolved through the competition itself.
The second leg of the Champions League game has changed from the lineup, after all, Juventus has a record of not conceding a goal in many consecutive Champions League away games, Ancelotti changed the 442 lineup in the first leg to a 433 lineup in order to enhance the attack, Ramos returned to the backline, and Forlan formed a double central defender, and Benzema's injury recovery also allowed the BBC combination to start all. Juventus, on the other hand, made only one substitution in their starting line-up, with the returning Paul Pogba replacing Sturaro.
In the tunnel before the game, Morata shook hands with his Real Madrid team-mates. Fran looked at him as if he had simply ignored what he had said before the first round, and when he greeted him, he smiled and echoed, ignoring his cheeky reply at the time.
Entering the Bernabeu Stadium, the banner of the Champions League trophy has been hung in the south stand, this group of fans is people love and hate, although they have done a lot of black things, but they buy high season tickets every year, support the away team every game, and follow the whole process while scolding and scolding in the championship era. It can only be said that they are loyal as fans of this club, but the rest can only be experienced separately.
At the back, Carvajal, Forlan, Ramos and Marcelo take on Leonardo Bonucci, Giorgio Chiellini, Patrice Evra and Lichtsteiner. But Real Madrid's defenders do more than just defenders. As soon as the game began, fullback Marcelo went straight down the left side after winning the ball, and directly faced Lichtsteiner, who was in the same position of the opponent's family, even though he had long recognized Real Madrid's defender Qingqi's painting style, but he was still a little stunned. At this moment of stunned, Marcelo cut the pass, Bale received the ball at the back point, and headed the ball nine meters away from the goal guarded by Buffon, many Juventini who came to support the team away from home did not find a seat, and gasped by the thrilling scene that had just begun, Buffon jumped up in the direction, and his state was not adjusted to the best at the beginning of the game, his palm did not touch the football, fortunately the football grazed the crossbar and flew out of the field.
Real Madrid everyone was full of firepower at the beginning, following Marcelo, Carvajal, who was also at full-back, was not to be outdone to support the front, crossed from the right, and Benzema, who received the football on the left side of the penalty area, faced Chiellini who was defending in front of him, and he unloaded the ball and turned around with Chiellini on his back. It wasn't a smart choice to go straight to a defender, but Benzema picked up the ball before they made contact and turned with a left-footed volley. It's a pity that the imagination is very happy, the reality is very skinny, and this volley just ended in a wave of shots.
Seeing that Marcelo and Carvajal "performed so well" at the beginning of the game, Ramos, who has often been put in the midfield by Ancelotti recently, seems to be habitually moving forward, and his desire to make a difference in front of Buffon in the Juventus penalty area is clear.
Before Casillas could speak, Fran had already called Ramos back with a single voice. Ramos was a little aggrieved, and he didn't understand why Fran was just staring at him, looking at Ramos's expression, Fran felt a little stomachache, but in the end, he couldn't say anything like 'you go to Lang here and leave it to me'.
Juventus had a dangerous chance in the fifteenth minute of the first half, when Tevez, who could not get rid of Forlan's marking, had to cross and divert, and Vidal cut in from the back row and stabbed the ball in front of goal. The ball flew towards Real Madrid and Casillas swooped down to the ground and stabbed the ball past the near post. And the offense and defense turned immediately, and in the face of Bale's powerful burst, Buffon jumped up and lifted the crossbar directly.
The scoreline changed midway through the first half, with J Ronaldo and Kroos playing in midfield, with the former finding a gap for Juventus and suddenly cutting forward when the opponent was not expecting it. He managed to shake off Marchisio and struggled to break through the middle, opting to cut inside from the left side of the box. But at this time, he was hit by Chiellini and fell to the ground.
Such a big move in the box attracted everyone's attention, and Ronaldo was able to get up quickly after being knocked down, but it was a surprise for Real Madrid that Swedish referee Christian Eriksen pointed to the penalty spot and awarded them a penalty. The Juventus crowd, led by Gianluigi Buffon, of course, protested Eriksen's decision, but it was to no avail. J Ronaldo created the penalty, but the penalty in the Real Madrid team was on Ronaldo, and sure enough, it was the Portuguese who stood at the penalty kick.
Real Madrid's leading striker missed the penalty created by Bale in the league against Valencia a few days ago, and Cristiano Ronaldo also missed the penalty in the league against Sevilla. It was the first time in three years that he had missed a penalty in a row, and in such a game, the Portuguese was still able to stand at the penalty spot without hesitation, and it has to be said that he has a big heart.
Thankfully, the result was good, with Cristiano Ronaldo playing down the middle and slotting home from Buffon's side. Real Madrid took the lead in rewriting the score, 1-0!
"Juventus is a sweet and sweet in Serie A, and compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League, the two own son teams, you can really see the difference from the verdict." The Italian commentator said sourly.
Perhaps it was because the penalty was awarded that Juventus was extremely dissatisfied, and after the resumption of the next game, Juventus showed a strong attacking desire in the midfield. Compared with last season's Champions League champion Real Madrid, Juventus finally reached the last four of the Champions League after many years, and perhaps they are more eager to win.
Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo sent a diagonal pass through, and Vidal, who received the ball, dodged Forlan, who wanted to foul and intercept, and continued to move forward at a rapid pace, provoking the left side to pick into the box. Pogba headed back in the penalty area, and Tevez chested the ball in front of the goal, and a left-footed half-volley went under Ramos's crotch and into the net to level the score at 1-1.
And that score remained until halftime in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final.
By this point, the two-legged aggregate score between the two teams had officially equalised, and everyone knew that the second half would be the real decisive moment.
In the dressing room, because of the goal conceded in the last minute of the first half, both Fran who was wiped by Vidal and Ramos, who was worn by Tevez, did not look good. Carlo Ancelotti pointed out that the back line was slightly inward-bound in the second half, not to be seriously out of position, but according to the Italian character, he did not specifically criticize one or several people.
Forlan moved his shoulders and Carlo Ancelotti tightened up the backline, which could easily have been dragged into extra-time or even a penalty shoot-out if regular time didn't go well. I believe that no one wants to see this, and he is not sure that he will be able to maintain a good level of competition in extra time.
The second half restarted, and Juventus didn't seem to be attacking with more power. Under the warnings of the manager, several members of the Real Madrid backline retreated to their own half, but did not change the way they defended. Vidal was blocked by Ramos when he tried to cut inside down the wing, and the referee deemed it a violation and awarded Juventus a free-kick.
The free-kick did not surprise Ramos, and he chose to commit a foul here because the position was not ideal. It was Andrea Pirlo who sent the Juventus free-kick straight into the Real Madrid penalty area and was cleared out by Casillas. Morata quickly ran in the direction of the football, and when he saw that he was controlled by Forlan first, he accelerated and pounced.
Seeing Morata rushing over, Forlan stepped on the ball with his right foot and gently pushed the ball forward, moved forward with his left foot to stand firm and support his body, and then picked up his big foot to shoot at Morata's shocked gaze.
He, he can't help but want to create an exaggerated shot on a whim!
This thought appeared in the minds of countless people at the same time.
Morata immediately turned and dodged, and he heard the loud sound of Forlan's kick hitting the football, whether or not he felt inspired to score for a moment, he couldn't stop such a powerful kick with his body unprepared. He didn't want to use his body to test the strength of the ball.
The football flew from the back of Real Madrid to Juventus with a thunderous momentum, and the football that flew like a meteor rushed into the Juventus half of the field and galloped towards the direction of the Juventus penalty area in a gradually falling trajectory. Morata looked over after his initial dodge and was able to accurately judge the trajectory and expected landing of the ball from his vantage point, apparently not even flying towards the goal.
There were many in the Juventus squad who thought the same way, but just when they were unable to score because of Inverland's inability to score a little relaxation, Isco, who appeared at the front of the penalty area, caught the ball in front of everyone's jaw.
Where is this shot! This is obviously the most common long pass rush in football.
This style of play is simple and efficient, and the short flight time even makes it difficult for the defender to calmly deploy and catch him off guard. But without the explosiveness and speed of your own players, you can't keep up with the ball without being offside, and it is easy to cause the pass to fail.
Either way, Isco's catch on the ball without a foul on the referee was the start of a threatening attack.
The author has something to say: maybe he will leave, I never thought that my long-awaited return to the national team would end in this way.
I try to maintain the last passion for football and the calmness of the plot to finish writing this article, and whether I will write about football in the future 166 Reading Network
