Chapter 53: Breaking Through the Galaxy

Blackburn Rovers were kept under pressure for almost ten minutes before starting their own attacking pattern when Pogba sent the ball to Bale in front of him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Fiction? w?ww.`

Bale used his experience to shake off J Ronaldo and saw Luka Modric coming in and sending the ball to N'Golo Kante in front.

The two worked together on the flanks and soon sent the ball to the middle.

Pulling down the middle, Harry Kane was on the side, Neymar shook Kroos to intercept and into the box, showing a subtle dribble.

At this time, Real Madrid's defense iron gate Pepe had already come to intercept, and Neymar sent it lightly in the middle and went straight behind Pepe.

At this time, Bale used his speed to get it before Marcelo, but Marcelo's speed was not slow, Bale's high speed did not shake off the other party, and was tightly clinging to Marcelo's side.

At this time, Bale only had to carry the ball step by step, and when he was about to get close to the bottom corner, Bale increased his speed, and his speed changed, and he struggled to make a space, and the arch of his foot rubbed a half-arc, and the ball flew to 14 yards in front of the goal, where it was empty.

A half-blue, half-white figure was pulled by Ramos, quickly running towards the ball, it was Griezmann, when Harry Kane and Neymar changed positions, Griezmann also followed into the penalty area, but there were Ramos and Modric around, there was no way to receive the ball.

Griezmann and Harry Kane cleverly returned to their respective positions after seeing Bale dribble in, and the two youngsters ran nimbly to mobilize Real Madrid's backline and make a hole in the Galaxy defence.

Ramos and Pepe had to go to defend Griezmann and Harry Kane respectively in a split second when they saw Bale distribute.

Ramos was pulled hard by Griezmann, staggering to follow him, and Griezmann's pace was still inconsistent in the run, and it changed from time to time, which was extremely difficult to follow.

Griezmann only had the ball in his eyes at this time, and when he saw the ball flying, he used his strength and quickly lifted it up.

Ramos only felt that his hand was missing, and Griezmann's figure had already appeared a meter away from him, and he hurriedly chased forward.

The ball fell straight down in mid-air, just near Griezmann's left side, Griezmann didn't make any adjustments, grabbed Ramos before he ran over, supported his left foot, twisted his body, and his right leg quickly swung up, "pop" muffled sound, Griezmann roared "Get in!" ”

At the same time, Griezmann's calf swept heavily into the lower part of the falling ball, and the ball drew a strange parabola in the air and fell directly to the far end, Navas had to tilt his head back, look at it and retreat, and when he came to the far corner, he kicked hard and pounced the incoming ball.

"Huh!" , and then a huge wave of sound swept through the audience!

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal! 1:0! "Lineker was ready for a win against Blackburn, but he was very excited to see Griezmann's goal!

"It was Griezmann's fifth goal in the Champions League this season! Oh, my God! Excellent! Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room was also amazed.

"How is it compared to you?" Lineker asked suddenly.

"Haha......" Shearer had to answer with a laugh in frustration, because he could see that even though Griezmann might still be a slight gap from his peak, as long as Griezmann continued to grow, he would be able to surpass him soon.

Real Madrid kicked off in the middle circle, and the game started again, and the Real Madrid players were not affected by what had just happened, and their super high football literacy made them quickly adjust their mentality and immediately launch an attack.

The two sides battled it out in midfield, and at every opportunity, they immediately launched an attack, and the two sides fought against each other.

Blackburn Rovers took advantage of their home advantage to launch their own fluid attack, frequently using Griezmann and Harry Kane's massive runs to pull down Real Madrid's defence, and Blackburn's attack was also ferocious like a tide.

And Real Madrid is not inferior, with Ronaldo's super personal impact in the front, stirring up the Blackburn backline, Marcelo and J Ronaldo's breakthrough to Azpilicueta and Alaba, plus, this weekend's deterrence in the middle, like a fish in the throat, Real Madrid's attack is impressive.

At this time, the head coaches of both sides have also been staring at the court, watching the players on the field come and go, the offensive is like a tide, and they are nervous.

In the 16th minute of the game, Harry Kane received a cross from Griezmann in the middle, deducted Pepe and hit the goal, but was blocked by the alert Navas with one hand.

In the 17th minute of the game, Ronaldo pressed Phil Jones' header in the middle and rubbed the crossbar, and after missing the goal, Ronaldo looked up to the sky and howled.

In the 18th minute, Isco's powerful shot was again pulled out of the bottom line by Cech. And Neymar's low shot in the 21st minute of the game was also taken by Pepe to take the lead in sliding out of the bottom line.

However, in comparison, Blackburn's overall strength is better than Real Madrid, Klopp used Neymar and Griezmann, two attackers who can both break and pass, to put them in the front line, and for a while, Blackburn's offensive advantage gradually became obvious.

In this way, Real Madrid has to pull back two wingers when defending, and at the same time there is a contraction back in the middle, and the speed of advance is relatively slower when attacking, which virtually weakens Real Madrid's offensive power and spends more physical energy in defense.

The offensive and defensive battles between the two sides are wide open, and it depends on who can seize the opportunity. The two managers, Jurgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane, were eyeing the flanks together, hoping that their teams would open up.

On the Real Madrid side, Zidane hopes that his players can score goals to break Blackburn's tactics of attacking instead of defending, Klopp's plan he understands very well, that is, attacking against attacking, after all, there is no defensive midfielder like Kante and Casemiro in his squad, and it is difficult for the defense of the Galaxy Battleship not to have problems in the case of insufficient defensive ability in the back.

Soon the game entered the final 10 minutes of the first half, when the attack of both sides began to weaken, and Blackburn, who had the ball, began to try to reverse the foot at the back.

At this time, Blackburn launched a wave of attacks, Bale won the ball in the middle, and the position of Harry Kane and Griezmann immediately changed.

Harry Kane and Griezmann quickly picked up the speed and answered Bale, and the three of them cooperated in the middle, and with tacit understanding, they quickly broke through Real Madrid's defense in the middle.

Bale picked up the ball on the left side of the box and Kroos chased after him.

This is not an area where Bale has a lot of certainty in shooting, so Bale sent it lightly, and Harry Kane, who was inserted at high speed, received his through ball in the penalty area, without any stop, and directly picked up the ball, where there was already a figure fighting with Pepe.

Pepe was tightly blocked by Griezmann in front of him, and he has a lot of defensive experience, of course he knows that Griezmann wants to stop the ball with his chest, and if he wants to pass the ball when the time comes, he can still hit the goal directly.

Pepe will not let the opponent get the ball so easily, but at this time both of them are already standing on the line of the penalty area, as long as he makes a big move and Griezmann falls down, he is very likely to be sentenced to death by the referee.

And once Pepe chooses to go around the front and grab first, then Griezmann will turn around and lift the ball, and he can pass himself directly.

Seeing that the ball was about to fly over, Pepe blushed, held back his strength to stick his right leg out, and when the ball was about to touch Griezmann's chest, he hooked it and tried to pick it away.

But Pepe had to carry Griezmann with strength, and he didn't have enough strength at all, just raised the position of the ball a little bit.

Griezmann was going to unload the ball smoothly, but Pepe stretched out a kick behind his back and ruined his plan, at this time the ball had reached above his chest, and when he stopped the ball, he was likely to be surrounded by Kroos and Pepe who rushed over, losing control of the ball.

Griezmann's mind moved, his right foot firmly supporting his body, and he secretly hit Pepe who was wrapped around him with his back.

Pepe felt his body retreat uncontrollably, realized that something was wrong, and quickly tried to entangle Griezmann again, but Griezmann had already completed the action.

At the moment of shaking off Pepe, Griezmann's right foot exerted force, his body quickly leaned back, raised his left leg, and when he reached the highest point, the left foot stretched out in a straight line swept heavily on the upper part of the side of the ball, and flew outward towards the goal with an arc, like a scimitar out of the sheath.

Navas was standing near the near corner, but when he saw the ball flying towards the far end, he was frightened and moved quickly, but he only felt that the ball was out of reach.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

"Haha! Griezmann scores twice! We are 2-0 ahead of Real Madrid! Victory is in sight! Lineker's shouts pierced the sky above the Rose Theatre Stadium, but it was quickly drowned out in a huge wave.

Griezmann also excitedly rushed to Harry Kane, who provided the assist, and high-fived his teammates, knowing that the Blackburn team basically won this game, and it was up to him to see if there was any hope that the suspense of this round would end in the first leg.

Griezmann returned to the side of the players with a happy face to high-five them, and the Blackburn players were also excited, for Blackburn, the Champions League semi-finals are a must, so today's game is a must, and the two-goal advantage in the first half makes them more confident.

After the restart, Real Madrid, which was two goals behind, began to show a strong side, launching a fierce attack, Ronaldo with the continuous support of the two wings, using his physical and technical advantages to frequently force Blackburn's backline, and completed 3 shots in just 5 minutes.

However, Ronaldo was unlucky today and missed the target.

"Didi!" The whistle blew and three minutes of stoppage time ended the first half.

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane entered the dressing room first with a cold face, and Klopp looked at his players and smiled gently, it seemed that the Germans were quite satisfied with the first half of the game for Blackburn. (To be continued.) )
