Chapter 496: Ball 11
"Licardo Goalllllllllll!" As if he wanted to release all the air in his lungs in one breath, the commentator dragged out the last note, "Licardo scored his 11th goal in the Champions League this season, and Real Madrid led Chelsea 2-0!" ”
"Ricardo organized his own attack and finally scored the ball himself. Chelsea's defence was penetrated by him alone! Chelsea, Chelsea, in the face of such a dangerous person, no one is specifically targeting him, this should not be! ”
'It's only been 28 minutes and Chelsea are two goals down. This is the price of inexperience. They have to attack right away and try to pull a goal back and turn the tide! ”
Pellegrini let out a heavy breath.
Steady.
In a match of this calibre in the Champions League final, it is very, very rare for a two-goal lead to be equalized or even reversed. If it were a Chinese team, there might still be such worries, but Real Madrid is not the kind of team that can be easily reversed. The wealthy have the confidence of the wealthy.
Grant sat back in his chair with a sense of powerlessness. This is Real Madrid? This is the world's top giants? Is this the strength of Mr. Double for a second consecutive year?
He once felt that the role of the star is not important, the important thing is to pinch the team into a whole and use the power of the whole to destroy the opponent. Every player is a screw, and can only be a screw.
But now he understood. Some stars really have the ability to change the situation on their own.
What's next? Grant's mind was messing around.
Should it be attacked? But now that the midfield is not dominant, do you want the backfield to find the front court directly? But if you fight like that, the success rate of the attack is too low, and it is easy to be counterattacked. Real Madrid have players of the speed of Ricardo and Kaka, and it will be very uncomfortable to be counter-attacked by them.
Don't attack, continue to defend and counterattack? Isn't that the same as sitting and waiting, and the two goals behind will not equalize by themselves.
Something has to be done.
But what to do?
Grant, who was still a rookie coach, was confused.
On the pitch, Chelsea have restarted the game.
The Chelsea players didn't stay lost for long, and without Grant's instructions, they spontaneously began to switch from defence to attack.
The wave of attack was spearheaded by Ballack, who announced the beginning of Chelsea's resurgence with a powerful long-range strike.
Three minutes later, Frank Lampard put together a fine attack when he fended off Ricardo on the right and suddenly got up and crossed diagonally to the back of the box.
Monster Drogba used his strong body to resist Cannavaro's jumping header and swung the ball to the middle, Ballack and Pepe occasionally jumped at the same time to fight for the top, and under Ballack's interference, Pepe actually pushed the ball towards his own goal.
Casillas was completely too late to judge, and he only reflexively reached out to block and rushed back to the defending Baptista in time to kick the ball off the line.
From a corner, Terry grabbed a nod and hit the goal, but unfortunately it was slightly wide.
In the 33rd minute, Chelsea counter-attacked. Frank Lampard tucked the ball straight down the left, Ashley. Kerr sent in a high-quality cross, but Cannavaro was so accurate that he was half a head shorter than Drogba to get the ball off the line.
Chelsea took a corner, this time it was Real Madrid who grabbed the spot, and the ball flew just outside the box.
Instead of rushing to counter-attack with the ball, Ricardo took the ball and moved left and right, dodging the Chelsea players' pressing, and after seeing his own players run to a reasonable position, he suddenly sent a long ball over the top.
The ball found Kaka accurately, and Kaka ran high speed with the ball, slotted a kick-to-foot cross between the two men, and accurately delivered the ball over the head of Van Nistelrooy. Ruud van Nistelrooy headed in and Cech made a great deal of effort when he made a save to keep Van Nistelrooy close away.
But he couldn't get the ball out of the way and Raul took his feet to the far corner from the edge of the box, but Cech was miraculously quick to make a save and slotted the ball over the line with a single punch.
There was applause from the stands, both for Real Madrid's fierce counter-attack and for Cech's miraculous streak.
Raul took a corner and Ricardo scrambled it in front of the ball and headed it back, but it went over the crossbar.
"The game started to get exciting," the commentator laughed, "and both sides had some chances and played very dangerous attacks. ”
'Chelsea are by no means easy opponents and although Real Madrid have a two-goal lead, they should not be taken lightly. And Chelsea can't afford to ignore the defence just because they attack, otherwise they will pay a huge price. If it hadn't been for Cech's miraculous play, they would have been three goals down by now. ”
"The tempo of both sides has increased a little bit during this period, which is not good for Real Madrid. They are ahead and should find a way to control the tempo rather than follow the opponent's tempo. Real Madrid are not Barcelona, and they are still slightly inferior when it comes to controlling the tempo. ”
Manuel Pellegrini was also aware of the problem and ran to the sidelines to shout and get the players to slow down the tempo.
But sometimes you don't have to slow down. Chelsea pulled out the formation, the players stepped up the front pressing, and there was a lot of risk of slowing down the feet; And Chelsea's backline is no longer so airtight, and the potential benefits of playing through balls are so tempting that Real Madrid's midfielders are tempted to attack through balls, which makes the pace get faster and faster.
Chelsea are also risk-taking, and although they have chances to score, they are also likely to be penetrated by their opponents.
It's just that at this time, if they don't fight, they are waiting for death, although they may lose more badly, they may also turn the tables, of course, they have to fight.
In the 41st minute, Frank Lampard's beautiful through ball penetrated the Real Madrid defence and passed to the left. Cole cut in at high speed to get the ball and cross, but cut inside into the box and stuffed the ball into the middle, where Cannavaro broke it.
Real Madrid immediately counter-attacked, Ricardo ran to the left to receive the ball, went down at high speed and crossed to the middle of the box, Makelele tried to tackle the ball unsuccessfully, Van Nistelrooy followed up with a tackle, but unfortunately missed the middle of the ball, the ball deflected off the goal, and missed the opportunity again.
In the 43rd minute, Frank Lampard was brought down by Cannavaro after dribbling the ball on the left side of the box and preparing to burst into the box. The referee showed Cannavaro a yellow card and gave Chelsea a well-placed free-kick.
Real Madrid was nervous about the ball and carefully arranged the human wall. Chelsea have a handful of free-kick players and this free-kick from around 22 metres can be a big threat.
Ballack took a deep breath and curled the ball with his right foot, but the ball grazed the crossbar and flew off the line.
