Chapter 445: A hat-trick at the Bernabeu
When the game reached the 33rd minute of the first half, Real Madrid, who had never given up, finally scored a goal tenaciously, and the connection between Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy appeared in front of all the fans again.
And the Real Madrid fans in the stands at the Bernabeu Stadium are already crying!
It's not easy for them!
You must know that Real Madrid's goal is already the fourth goal scored by both sides in this game, and the previous three goals have nothing to do with Real Madrid, all of them were scored by the away team Arsenal!
In other words, now the score on the field has become 1:3, and Real Madrid, which is playing at home, is still two goals behind Arsenal.
Arsenal's third goal was scored by Thierry Henry, Quaresmane cut and then kicked a little under Cannavaro's small movement, and the ball bounced off the ground and then bounced off Elguera, but at this time the elusive Henry appeared here, stabbed the ball into the Real Madrid goal, and scored himself and extended Arsenal's lead again.
Thierry Henry and Quaresma, Arsenal's golden duo, scored once again, and it has become the most desirable sight for all Arsenal fans to celebrate the victory.
One represents Arsenal's past and present, the other represents Arsenal's present and future, and when the two intersect, Arsenal has the best present.
While a goal back seemed to give Real Madrid some hope, the truth is that the game is still in Arsenal's hands, and even though they contributed more possession, they still trailed Arsenal in terms of threats and shots on goal.
Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, neither team scored again, and with a score of 1:3, both teams returned to the dressing room.
At this time, the Real Madrid fans in the stands couldn't help but be a little dazed, because they never understood what happened to their team!
If the previous seasons were dragged down by the aging of the squad and the unfavorable policies made the team's record never look up, but this season, Real Madrid has a new look!
The reconquest in La Liga is the best proof of this!
But when they stood at the top of La Liga again and looked at European football, they found that it seemed that the whole world had changed!
The mountain under their feet was majestic, but as far as the eye could see, they were surrounded by countless mountains higher than the mountain below their feet, and the spectacular scene made them feel incomparably small for the first time.
The Arsenal in front of them seems to be a mountain they can't overcome.
Even though this is Real Madrid's home stadium and the proud Bernabeu, Arsenal still effortlessly suppresses Real Madrid's temper, as if they are facing an ordinary opponent.
This is undoubtedly unbearable for proud fans!
In Meilinger's thinking, even if Real Madrid loses, it must also let the opponent play the toughest game, admitting that winning is a fluke, and Real Madrid is still the top club in the world.
But in front of Arsenal, not to mention making the opponent difficult, Real Madrid can lose a few less hardships, it's good!
What the hell is wrong with this world?
All Real Madrid fans can't help but have such a question in their hearts!
Unlike the dazed Real Madrid fans, the Arsenal fans watching the game in front of the TV couldn't help but sing and dance at halftime, they are used to Arsenal winning all the time, even if the opponent is the once invincible Real Madrid, is not also beaten to the point of helplessness?
The home team loses like this, and the away team is simply going through the motions!
......
"You played in the first half, and that little guy in Torres couldn't do anything about you, otherwise, in the second half, I would have played on the left?"
As he walked into the tunnel, Ljungberg walked over and put his arm around Quaresma's shoulders and grinned.
Ljungberg started to play on the right side, and the right side is the range of Carlos's defense, although Carlos is old, his ability to go straight up and down has declined, and the side dominance is not as good as before, but after all, he was once the world's No. 1 left-back, and the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, if he defends seriously, it is enough for Ljungberg to drink a pot.
Persimmon to pick up soft pinch, everyone understands this truth!
So when Ljungberg saw Quaresma on the other side, he couldn't help but think that if he was to switch to Quaresma's side, he could do whatever he wanted.
Quaresma gave Ljungberg a funny look, but only shook his head, for he thought Ljungberg was a little whimsical.
After all, Ljungberg is good at playing on the right side, although he can switch positions with Quaresma from time to time to confuse the opponent in the game, but if Ljungberg is allowed to play on the left side all the time, the effect must not be as good as it is now.
Even if Wenger wanted Quaresma to play on the right to face Carlos, he would definitely replace Ljungberg and let Reyes or Little Tiger play on the left, rather than bluntly switching Ljungberg to the left.
"You still have to think about how to play Carlos, I think the Brazilian defender doesn't have much physical fitness now, work hard, you can definitely break him down!"
Quaresma patted Ljungberg on the chest and smiled.
However, Quaresma also has some ideas, after all, Torres and Carlos have no way to play the top defense, for him, it doesn't make much difference which side to play, if he and Ljungberg strengthen the position, he can play the helpless Real Madrid by surprise.
Told Ljungberg what he thought, and the Swedish horse was about to close his mouth with laughter.
As an offensive player, although winning the team is the most important thing, who doesn't like to be too good at your own performance?
There's not much you can do with Carlos by yourself, but if you can't clean up Torres, then it's time for you to retire!
Ljungberg walked into the locker room beautifully, as if he had soaked in a stunner, and his expression was even a little obscene.
Quaresma said in his heart, when Ljungberg changed to the left side in the second half, facing Torres, don't show such an expression, don't freak out that little guy in Torres!
Speaking of which, Torres is also really miserable, being beaten and crying by Quaresma's inhumane life in the first half, and facing the obscene Ljungberg in the second half, which is simply a nightmare of Torres' career.
......
The players took the time to rest in the dressing room, and Wenger took the opportunity to explain what to watch out for in the second half, but with Arsenal's current maturity, if the opponent does not pull out the machete and fight hard, Arsenal can still control the situation.
Amid Arsene Wenger's cheering shouts, the players rushed out of the dressing room with their hands clenched into fists, and in the second half, they were about to kill the game in one fell swoop, turning the two-legged contest into a single round, completely losing suspense.
Walking into the stadium, Quaresma set his sights on the Real Madrid half, and he was very concerned about the question of whether Real Madrid would replace Torres, who had been knocked down.
If Capello, who can't rub sand in his eyes, directly replaces Torres, then Ljungberg will be happy in vain.
Quaresma didn't care who was defending him, because it didn't make a difference who he was, and he could only blow up one result.
However, it turns out that Capello is also a clever woman who has no rice to cook, because he has no one to use at the moment.
Salgado and Cicinho are both recovering from injuries, so if anyone is going to use it, how can he possibly promote Torres, a young man with little experience?
Therefore, even though Torres was blown out by Quaresma in the first half and was beaten to tears, Capello could only choose to trust Rees.
What if Torres erupted under extreme pressure, was stimulated to transform into Bumpman, and knocked down Quaresma's arrogance!
Well, Capello admits that he's a bit of.
However, in any case, neither side made any adjustments at half-time and continued the game with the same line-up as in the first half.
At the moment, the commentator and the commentator are arguing about something in the game.
"Capello is out of his mind, even if he wants to give the youngsters a chance and doesn't want to replace Torres early to avoid the youngsters being hit, but at half-time, he can replace Torres?"
"With Torres on the pitch, do Real Madrid still want to see this side completely blown up by Quaresma in the second half?"
"I dare to assert that if Torres continues to defend Quaresma, then Real Madrid will definitely concede goals in the second half, or even more goals!"
The guest raised his hand and said loudly, with a sigh of hatred for iron and steel.
However, at this time, the narrator looked at the commentator's eyes on the side, as if he was looking at a fool.
What level of guest is this?
Next time, I have to talk to the director, don't look for these bullshit guests.
"I have to warn that it's not that Capello doesn't want to make substitutions, it's that Capello has no one available at all, except for Torres, Real Madrid no longer has full-backs who can play!"
The narrator had a slightly mocking tone, "Otherwise, you will play by yourself now?" ”
The guests were a little red-faced and felt very unable to get off the stage.
What level of commentary is this?
Next time, I won't do this broken live broadcast!
......
Quaresma didn't know that there was an intrigue in a live broadcast room, he only knew that Real Madrid was dead!
Looking at Torres, a young player, Quaresma saw a tenacity in his eyes, as if he saw himself who once refused to admit defeat, but now as an opponent, Quaresma will never be overflowing with sympathy.
On the football field, everything speaks with strength!
If you can't prevent it, you can't prevent it, it's definitely not that you can scare away the opponent with a little perseverance in your eyes, do you think you're Indi?
In the face of absolute technical superiority, everything in Torres is so pale.
In fact, Quaresma was not exaggerating at all, and in less than 10 minutes of the opening of the second half, Quaresma had already won the ball on the wing and completed three breakthroughs against Torres, and the breakthrough success rate reached 100 percent.
And with the change of position completed with Ljungberg, Ljungberg also experienced joy and exhilaration, successfully breaking through Torres's defense.
The Real Madrid fans were about to riot, chanting in unison "Torres down!" "With slogans like "Capello substitutions", in their opinion, Torres has become a cancer on the pitch for Real Madrid.
Even if you change to a central defender, no matter what you attack, you will only be responsible for defending Quaresma, and you won't perform so badly, right?
Even if Raul is transferred to that position, it is estimated that he will do a better job than Torres.
If Raul knew what the fans were thinking at this time, he would definitely cry!
I can't even stop Quaresma!
Finally, the score was rewritten in the 59th minute of the second half, and it was Arsenal who scored again, and after the change, Ljungberg broke through on the left and provided the assist to Thierry Henry, and the Arsenal captain also completed the brace.
By the moment the ball flew into the goal, the Bernabeu had turned into a hell of wailing, and there was no longer any chance of life.
The Arsenal players celebrated unbridled that the game had already been controlled by them, and now they had finally killed the game again.
With a score of 4:1, can Real Madrid still complete an epic comeback when it goes to the away side?
Let's not talk about whether Real Madrid has such genes or not, whether they have such luck, first of all, they don't have such a strength base!
The home team has fallen, and you are still counting on the away game to turn around, don't dream!
After this goal was scored, Real Madrid no longer had the strength to fight back, and they also knew that the game was probably hopeless, even if they burst into the liver, I am afraid there would be no way to get it back.
The momentum is so overwhelming that even the dam can't stop it, let alone Capello.
The Italian's expression has become calm, calm after despair and helplessness, and as an experienced manager, he knows best what the situation is at the moment.
The game is over!
Real Madrid, it's over!
He's probably going to be finished!
Counting on the fact that La Liga has regained hegemony, he can still survive for a while, but he doesn't want to die well in Real Madrid at all, just continuing to be the 16th Lang of Real Madrid's Champions League is enough for him to get out of the way.
I have to admit that this Arsenal really has no weaknesses, and it is not easy to deal with whoever comes to replace it!
Capello felt such a sigh in his heart, but his thoughts had gradually drifted away, and he was completely out of the game.
However, Real Madrid probably gave up the counterattack, which does not mean that Arsenal also has to clock out of work, although the score of 4:1 is enough for Arsenal to kill the suspense of the two legs and enter the Champions League quarterfinals with one foot, but the question is that now Real Madrid has scored twice and is one step away from scoring a hat-trick, how can the two of them not be eager to score a perfect hat-trick at the Bernabeu.
Regardless of Quaresma, Henry kept rushing with ideas, and his teammates had to cooperate with the captain's actions and continue to storm Real Madrid's position.
Quaresma actually wants to score goals, there are not many opportunities to score goals on the giants, it's rare that Real Madrid has been broken down now, and there are not a few more, who knows when there will be such an opportunity next time?
So, he's happy for the team to keep attacking!
Then set a small goal and score a hat-trick first.
As a result, Quaresma has completely let himself go on the left side, and all kinds of dazzling breakthroughs are frequently staged, even if Real Madrid fans are in a bitter mood, they are still fascinated by it, which is simply a dreamlike art.
Torres had tears in his eyes, he was about to cry, and it was definitely his nightmare to meet Quaresma, and he was still an unrelenting Quaresma.
Of course, Cannavaro and Elguera were not comfortable either, and Henry seemed to be more active than Quaresma, which made Real Madrid's two central defenders anxious and irritable for a while.
However, when Real Madrid was determined to put down the shelf to defend, Capello's tuning also showed up at this time, after all, the Italian is the best at tuning defense.
The dense crowd at the edge of the penalty area and in the penalty area greatly compressed Arsenal's attacking space, and even if Quaresma wanted to cut inside on the left side, it was not easy, so Arsenal's fifth goal was delayed, and Quaresma's hat-trick with Henry looked farther and farther away.
If it is in a desperate situation, then no matter how difficult it is, Quaresma will grit his teeth and push through, not afraid of everything in front of him.
But now it's all about the hat-trick on the cake, and it doesn't seem necessary to take it too seriously.
So Quaresma thinks that it's almost enough, and the dog jumps over the wall when he's in a hurry, but don't really force Real Madrid to the point of exhaustion, and then make it bad and end up in the end.
But just when Quaresma was about to give up the pursuit of a hat-trick and clock out of work, even luck was helping him.
You can't do it without a hat-trick!
In the 78th minute of the second half, Henry scored outside the middle of the goal, turned and rushed forward with the ball, faced with a dense defense, and suddenly gave the ball to Ljungberg on the right side, and the Swedish fast horse went down to the bottom of the inverted triangle pass to send the ball to the front of the penalty area, in fact, his pass was a bit behind, Henry and Ballack who rushed into the penalty area both missed this pass.
Unexpectedly, the ball reached the top of the arc of the big penalty area, but the referee was caught off guard, dodged in embarrassment, but was unable to dodge, and finally fell to the ground, and the ball was left there.
According to the rules, during the game, the referee is actually a fixed object on the field, just like the goalpost, and does not affect the continuation of the game, so even if the referee accidentally interferes with the ball, the game will continue.
Quaresma didn't expect a big gift bag to fall from the sky, so he rushed up as fast as he could, shot directly with his feet, and sent the ball into Real Madrid's goal in the midst of all the surprises.
Quaresma stood with his arms outstretched, celebrating his goal in the dead silence of the Bernabeu.
In fact, no one reacted until the goal was scored, and they didn't realise what was happening.
When the Arsenal players gathered around to celebrate the goal with Quaresma, the Bernabeu erupted in an uncontrollable burst of boos, all directed at Quaresma.
Real Madrid players also protested around the referee, hoping that the referee would cancel the goal.
In their opinion, Quaresma's behavior is very unprofessional and unethical, and it cannot be counted as a goal at all.
However, the referee could only apologize to the Real Madrid player and explain that according to the rules, the goal must be valid.
He's sorry, after all, the ball hit his leg, even if he didn't mean it, it still hurt Real Madrid, but the rules are the rules, and as a referee, he has to stick to it.
At this time, Quaresma celebrated the goal indifferently and did not look apologetic at all.
Isn't a hat-trick worth celebrating?
"I don't know what to say about this goal!"
"Although it seems that the referee blocked the ball and gave Quaresma a chance to take a trick, but from the perspective of slow-motion defense, when Henry and Ballack missed the pass, because the Real Madrid players had already concentrated in the penalty area at this time, the front of the penalty area was extremely empty, and the closest to the ball at that time was actually Quaresma!"
"If the referee doesn't block the ball, the ball will still fall to Quaresma's feet, and at most, Real Madrid will have a little more time to stand than now, but it is more likely that they will still not be able to stop Quaresma's shot!"
"So, although there is a bit of luck in this goal, in fact, Real Madrid fans don't have to complain and resent!"
"In fact, even if it is a 4:1 scoreline, Real Madrid may not be able to do anything, so this goal only allowed Quaresma to complete a more exciting hat-trick, but did not affect more."
......
The commentator looked at the slow motion and explained it very pertinently, and the fans in front of the TV looked at the slow motion and also noticed the clue, after all, it was the truth.
There was really chaos on the field for a while, but it finally calmed down, after all, Real Madrid also knew that no matter how much trouble there was, it would be useless, and it was they who were ashamed.
Even so, the Real Madrid players have been looking at Quaresma with a bad look, which makes Quaresma worry about whether his injury propensity attributes can help.
However, Arsene Wenger soon replaced Quaresma and avoided possible harm to Quaresma.
Amid the furious boos, Quaresma grinned and walked back to the bench, he really didn't care if the Real Madrid fans booed him.
Minutes after Quaresma's departure, the game was over at full length and the score remained unchanged as Arsenal won the first leg with a 5-1 win away at Real Madrid.
This score can really be regarded as a bloodbath!
You know, even last season at the Bernabeu, Arsenal didn't play Real Madrid like this, and this time, Real Madrid lost even more.
When everyone left the game, Quaresma wanted to go to Torres to exchange fans, after all, he had blown him up so well in this game, and it was not bad to keep a memorial.
However, seeing Torres's self-contained appearance, Quaresma thought about it and decided to forget it, don't rub salt on other people's wounds, what if the young man is impulsive and takes out a knife and stabs himself?
Hooking up with Henry to attend the post-match press conference, Quaresma was tormented by Henry's grudge along the way.
"I thought I could score a hat-trick, but I didn't take such a good opportunity, but I didn't expect luck to be on your side!"
"I feel like crying!"
"I want a hat-trick!"
......
Anyway, I don't know when it started, Henry has a tendency to develop like a resentful woman, which makes Quaresma very helpless.
Otherwise, I will send more assists to Henry, and don't end up making Henry mentally ill!
Following Arsene Wenger into the press conference, Quaresma felt the atmosphere of the reporters' madness, as if he was going to eat several people.
Could it be that by eating them, you can digest the explosive news?
"It's a shame Real Madrid lost this game, Arsenal played better and they won the game as a matter of course!"
"But I would say that in order to score goals without regard for the ethics on the pitch, this is obviously not the professionalism of a professional footballer!"
"Quaresma's third goal, obviously the referee blocked the ball, but he still finished the shot desperately, if all professional players throw away their moral restraints for personal gain like Quaresma, then I think the whole world football will have an irreversible regression!"
"Rules are rules, competitive spirit is competitive spirit, and this can't be confused at all, can it?"
.......
Capello, who spoke first, barely mentioned anything about the game and fired directly at Quaresma!
The reporters looked at each other excitedly, the spotlights flashed non-stop, and the pens in their hands were also writing, which was the breaking point they were most looking forward to.
Of course, everyone knows that Capello avoided the team's fiasco, but focused on Quaresma, just to reduce the pressure on the team and himself, at least when everyone talks about Quaresma's goal, they may forget about Real Madrid's fiasco.
Quaresma smiled disdainfully, he was clear about Capello's plan, just like Ferguson before, everyone was the same, but Ferguson was more decisive, and Capello was just a routine here.
But before Quaresma could respond, a reporter from the audience stood up and questioned Capello.
"Mr. Capello, based on the slow-motion defense, we observed that even if the referee didn't block the ball, Quaresma was the closest person to the ball, and he would still be the first to get the ball, and it might not even affect his shot.
"Also, please don't shy away from the fact that Real Madrid lost badly!"
"Having regained dominance in La Liga but losing so badly in the Champions League doesn't mean that the overall strength of La Liga has slipped to the point where it is not competitive?"
"Probably stopping in the last 16 of the Champions League again, do you think your tenure at Real Madrid has been a success?"
"Will you leave the Bernabeu at the end of the season?"
......
A series of sharp questions were thrown at Capello, who was already sweating on his forehead and was a little overwhelmed.
Quaresma couldn't help but laugh a little chicken thief on the side, saying that the media in England was the craziest, but now it seems that the media on the Spanish side is not inferior at all.
Looking at Capello's current embarrassment, this fiasco is estimated to make him unable to slow down for a while.
"I don't want to comment too much on my last goal, you can watch the video replay, the rules are the rules, and I don't think I'm lacking in competitive spirit!"
"It's nice to win, it's a two-legged fight, but I think the suspense is gone, isn't it?"
"I love the stadium and I love the feeling of scoring a hat-trick here!"
"I hope that next time I come back, I will have such a good performance!"
......
Quaresma picked up the microphone and said a few casual words before finishing his speech.
At this time, let the old man show his face!
