Chapter 275: Tactical Foul
Real Madrid's offensive climax came one after another, and it was seen that Quaresma was on fire.
Damn, why in the last few games, Arsenal's opponents are like eating gunpowder, one is fiercer than the other, one is playing more than the other, whether it is Manchester United or Real Madrid, it is obviously not their normal state, if Real Madrid can keep the current state, still have to worry about winning the Champions League?
Real Madrid's crazy output must be curbed, otherwise it will really be impossible to stop it after a while.
Thinking of this, Quaresma gritted his teeth violently, suddenly jumped out, and rushed towards Guti with the ball, with a terrifying momentum.
He has been teased by Guti several times before, and this time, the deputy of the Real Madrid team did not feel that Quaresma would cause him much trouble, and he still looked calm.
However, he clearly underestimated Quaresma's determination, and when he got closer, he slid sharply and shoveled towards Guti, killing this move diagonally, as if he was going to scrap Guti here.
Guti saw Quaresma's dangerous movements, and his face almost turned green!
Is this a midfielder, not an Arsenal penalty area, so you need to work so hard?
While it's a sign of courage to continue to attack at the risk of being brought down, you also have to see if the ball is worth it.
It's like now, if Guti desperately tries to protect the ball, he may be injured, not to mention, and he can't bring much benefit to Real Madrid, and it is obviously not a smart thing to be a hero at this time.
So when Quaresma was about to shovel him, Guti jumped up and protected himself well.
Of course, the ball was lost and Quaresma shoveled the ball to the feet of Henry, who took the ball and lunged towards the Real Madrid half.
However, after rushing for a while, finding that no one answered him, Henry slowed down his attack again and waited for his teammates to come up.
Although this counterattack was fruitless, at least Real Madrid's siege was not so coherent, and if it was done a few more times and disrupted Real Madrid's offensive rhythm, Real Madrid's offensive threat would be greatly reduced.
Well, there's a head!
So in Real Madrid's attack again, Quaresma went for Guti again, this time with a tackle that looked dangerous.
Naturally, Quaresma didn't want Guti to be really injured, and when he was going to shovel Guti, he would definitely close his feet, but until then, the spikes under his feet were always shining, shining, and making people feel palpitations when they looked at it.
Guti couldn't help but scold his mother, if he continued to kick like this, he still talked about organizing the attack, just dodging Quaresma's tackle and playing!
Ruthlessly, this time Guti didn't jump, he didn't believe that Quaresma really dared to shovel himself.
In the end, Quaresma did close his feet, but he still brought down Guti, the referee awarded Quaresma a foul, and also gave Real Madrid a free kick, but no matter how Guti protested, he did not give Quaresma a yellow card, after all, this is Highbury, you can give it or not, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
Quaresma was happy, he was going to eat the cards for this ball, but he didn't expect the referee to be very understanding.
Please take care of yourself after the game!
Quaresma's two consecutive fouls were very purposeful, and his teammates also understood what Quaresma meant, although he might give Real Madrid a free kick, but if it can disrupt Real Madrid's offensive rhythm, a few painless long-distance free kicks are really nothing.
So then Highbury became a fancy foul competition, although foul tactics are not Arsenal's mainstream tactics, and they have never even entered Wenger's mind, but don't forget, Arsenal is from the Premier League, and they may not be as professional as those teams with a rough style, but they are definitely decent, at least the tactical purpose has been achieved!
It's not easy to learn well, and it's bad to learn!
Every time Real Madrid's superstars just played out and entered the rhythm, they were interrupted by Arsenal's rough foul, which was called awkward.
In the space of ten minutes, Arsenal paid the price for two yellow cards, but the result was that Real Madrid did not threaten their goal with a single attack.
It's worth it!
Although the accumulation of yellow cards is also a problem and may affect the following games, if you can't pass this level, what will you talk about in the future.
Quaresma still received a yellow card, but the referee couldn't see his bullying of Guti, and after several warnings in a row, he stopped conniving.
A yellow card, Quaresma doesn't care, the point is that the tactical goal has been achieved, and now Real Madrid seems to be no threat all of a sudden.
If it's a player with strong defensive ability, then he can control the action and strength of his fouls, make you very uncomfortable and not let himself be carded, and there are so many full-time defensive players who hardly eat cards, that's the reason.
But Quaresma can't, a foul is a foul, a real foul, and it's not surprising that he eats cards.
That's why Quaresma is desperate to improve his defensive prowess.
And the current situation is that Arsenal's constant fouls have also provoked the anger of Real Madrid stars, and they can't help but compete with Arsenal players.
You dare to hit me?
Then I'll hit you too!
When Real Madrid's superstars no longer wonder how to break through the Arsenal defence, but instead focus on the physical confrontation with Arsenal, then there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.
Sometimes on the field, many stars are not very clear-headed, they don't know what they did under the excitement at all, and they may not realize it until the end of the game, but at that time, even if they regret it, the game cannot be repeated.
The whistle blew at the end of halftime, and looking at the scoreboard that was still at 0:0, the Real Madrid players woke up like a dream, and their hearts fell straight down.
Damn it!
Fooled!
But at this time, it seems that it is a little late.
He didn't score in the first half, and he had to beat Arsenal at least 3-0 in the second half to eliminate Arsenal and advance to the next round of knockout rounds.
But the fierce confrontation in the first half has consumed a lot of their physical energy, and it is still unknown how much combat power they can guarantee in the second half.
At the end of the game, every Real Madrid player was full of frustration and unwillingness on their faces, but Arsenal's players were beaming, even if they were always on the passive side in the first half, but this score alone was enough to make them smile.
Quaresma couldn't help but feel slightly proud, although his tactical literacy is not high, but his grasp of the situation is better than most people, and he has more tricks, and he can contain the opponent through non-tactical means, isn't this game the best proof!
Even if he didn't score, he was still Arsenal's biggest hero.
Of course, it would have been more perfect if there had been one more goal!
