Chapter 456: Fake Fall and Balance

Darren Bent's 'acting' isn't bad.

When the referee didn't make a decision, Darren Bent lay on the ground, hugging his head and crying.

When the referee made a decision and showed a yellow card to award a penalty, Bent immediately got up from the ground, and his agile movements were completely indistinguishable from being knocked to the ground.

Seeing that Darren Bent did nothing at all, the Real Madrid players were even more dissatisfied, but during the game, the players and the referee argued, and there was definitely no good result, even if the wrong decision was made, the referee would not change it in order to maintain his authority.

Eventually, under Raul's persuasion, the Real Madrid players dispersed to prepare for the penalty.

Of course, there is nothing to deal with.

Darren Bent has a talent for 'shooting', which is rare players can have, his shooting ability is absolutely the best in the world, coupled with more and more experience in the tournament, the mentality is also very calm, facing the door of Casillas's handle, he calmly kicked the left corner, and the football flew directly into the goal.

Casillas pounced in the right direction, but the ball was too fast to save.

"2 to 0! Coupled with the 1-2 in the previous leg, Millwall led Real Madrid 4-1! ”

'It's a very high score, Real Madrid have to score three goals if they want to beat Millwall, they will be under a lot of pressure......

After Darren Bent scored the penalty, various TV stations were also using slow motion to analyze the controversial penalty decision.

At the moment when the football fell, Darren Bent and Guti jumped side by side, and their bodies collided, and it can be seen in the footage that Guti is suspected of elbowing Bent's waist, but due to the perspective relationship, it is difficult to say whether it hit or whether it was a foul action, and it may also be a normal and reasonable body collision.

It's hard to say about this kind of ball.

How to determine the penalty depends on the referee's decision, and in the end he thought that Guti had fouled and awarded Millwall a penalty, which could be regarded as Real Madrid's bad luck.

————

The score of the two legs became 4-1, and Real Madrid were in real danger.

Real Madrid are also aware of the scoreline, they have reached a very bad situation and must take advantage of the last minute of the first half, preferably to score a goal.

If it was just two goals off, there would have been a chance in the second half.

Three balls is a bit too much.

When the game resumed, Real Madrid launched a frantic offensive against Millwall, almost ignoring the defense, and in the face of such a crazy offensive, Millwall had to retreat.

Real Madrid quickly showed the strength of their squad.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Raul managed to break through Arbeloa and cross to Diarra, who then crossed into the box and Van Nistelroy squeezed out of position to shoot with a sweeping leg.

This shot is so beautiful!

Graham didn't have time to react and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.

2 to 1!

4 to 2 in two legs!

Real Madrid finally used the last time to recover a goal, which also made Real Madrid a lot easier.

It was the last goal of the first half.

'Real Madrid pulled one back and saved them a little bit and only needed two more goals in the second half to see if they could knock Millwall out.'

"But it wasn't easy!"

"Real Madrid attacked very fiercely in the last time, but it was difficult for that kind of attack to last too long, otherwise it would be equivalent to giving Millwall a chance, but at least one goal left the game in suspense, which team can finally qualify, it still depends on the second half of the game......"

Intermission.

In the Millwall dressing room, the mood of the players was affected by Real Madrid's goal.

Although two goals were scored in the first half, Real Madrid scored one in the end, which still made people feel a little depressed.

The mood of the flamboyant is quite relaxed.

In the first half, Millwall scored one more goal than Real Madrid, which is equivalent to a better performance than the opponent, although one was a penalty, but luck is also part of the strength.

Real Madrid's goal was a surprise.

Zhang Yang 'predicted' that the goal was reached, and he wanted to stop it with 'walking the word', but finally gave up.

Millwall still has an advantage.

Leave an ability that is enough to turn the game around as a hole card, and you can have a chance to save it if you have an accident in the second half, otherwise you will use up everyone's hole cards in order to get in, and if anything happens, you will become powerless.

Taking advantage of the halftime break, Zhang Yang summed up the first half of the game, and some issues must be highlighted.

For example, defending on the wings.

The team's defensive problems are centred on two flanks, with Pire and Koncheski on the left, and Koncheski has been inserted a little more often, making it easy for Real Madrid to find opportunities along the way.

"Pay more attention to defense!"

Zhang Yang reminded Konchesky and also cared about Pire's physical condition, Pire is old after all, and it is difficult to support the whole game in a high-intensity game.

"I'm fine." Pire replied.

Zhang Yang nodded and decided to take a look at the second half, in case Pire was out of fitness, he should be replaced early to avoid any accidents.

There are also problems with defending on the right side.

Abeloa's restriction on Raul was acceptable, but it was only qualified, and a lot of credit for the final goal was on Raul, who managed to break through Aberoa and find a chance for his teammate in the middle.

Zhang Yang reminded Abeloa to be more steady, "Don't let Raul break through easily!" Even if you can't grab the ball, you have to follow him all the time and cause him problems. ”

After talking about the defensive problem, Zhang Yang talked about the offense.

In the final minutes of the game, Darren Bent retreated a few times, he wanted to participate in the defense, but it didn't work, Zhang Yang reminded Darren Bent not to participate in the defense, "You only stand in front, which is the biggest help to the defense." ”

In addition, Zhang Yang also made Braniff and Valdido retreat.

The two are the core of the attack and the second striker, and they are both main attacking players, but they must also be involved in the defense, otherwise the defense of the midfield line will be very weak, and it will be difficult to rely on Jody Morris alone to make much of a difference.

Zhang Yang talked about a lot of problems, but he didn't replace anyone.

The current squad is not bad against Real Madrid, if there is a sudden substitution, I don't know what the effect will be, with two goal advantages, stability is often more important than surprising.

————

In the second half, the two teams fought again.

As soon as the game officially began, Real Madrid launched an onslaught on Millwall.

At half-time, Fabio Capello pointed out that the team had to pull a goal back as soon as possible, and that the opening stages were the best chance to score before the opposition had fully adapted.

It's a pity that Millwall was prepared for this.

The first time to shrink the defense line or second, with the experience of being attacked in the first half, Millwall is very calm to counterattack, when the backfield completes the steal, Millwall is very stable to use the pass, to control the football, and then find the right to pass the ball forward.

This threatens Real Madrid.

The price of the onslaught was a loose defence, and the Real Madrid defence was unstable, and when Millwall played on the counter-attack, as long as the ball was at the feet of Darren Bent, he almost faced only one defender.

Darren Bent only dribbled the ball once, and Real Madrid broke out in a cold sweat, and then let Millwall score, and they really had no chance.

The raid that opened here can be said to have failed.

Real Madrid had to adjust their tempo and play Millwall in a normal match.

The strength of Real Madrid's squad is indeed much stronger than Millwall, and in normal matches, Real Madrid has more possession of the ball, more attacks and shots on goal.

In the 67th minute, a diagonal pass from Diarra into the box allowed Cassano to find a chance, and the latter dribbled the ball into Darren Ward from a tight range.

That's when the unexpected happened.

Between the two scrambles, Cassano fell directly to the ground.

The referee immediately blew the whistle to stop the game, and Darren Ward had barely accepted it when the referee handed away a yellow card and awarded Real Madrid a penalty.

The fans were stunned.

There was a cry of dissatisfaction from the audience, and Zhang Yang found the fourth official, and also complained, "Is this finding a balance?" I didn't see any foul action from Ward! ”

The fourth official listened, smiling slightly.

He's not the referee, so what more can he explain? In fact, he also knew that the referee was looking for a balance, because at halftime, he summed up the first-half penalty problem and found that the penalty was dispensable, and now he found that the Real Madrid player fell, so he gave Real Madrid a penalty, which is equivalent to finding the balance back.

This time, the TV commentator had a different assessment of the penalty.

BBC television broadcast slow motion and found that Darren Bent and Cassano did not have any physical collision at all, and Cassano fell down for some reason while dribbling the ball.

That exaggerated action makes people unconsciously think of a word - fake fall!

Ninety-nine percent fake falls!

Whether Cassano fell to the ground with a bad balance is not a 100% answer, but it certainly has nothing to do with defensive Darren Ward.

But what can it be?

Real Madrid were awarded a penalty anyway.

This balancing decision made the spectators very unhappy, and when the Real Madrid players discussed who would take the penalty, there were non-stop boos from the scene.

Interestingly, there was an argument between the Real Madrid players.

Cassano wanted to take the penalty himself, because it was he who created it, and Ruud van Nistelrooy and Raul also wanted to do it.

Cassano's 'popularity' shortcomings were revealed, and the rest of his teammates almost all supported either Fanny or Raul for free throws.

How else is this kicked?

Cassano simply shook his hand and walked back to his own half, his face obviously very bad.

Lineker couldn't help but analyze, "Cassano is probably angry, he failed to win the free throws." The voice was full of schadenfreude.

Lineker will of course support Millwall when they play Real Madrid, having played for Barcelona in his career and has only endless hostility towards Real Madrid.

Eventually, Raul stood at the penalty spot.

Van Nistelrooy also wanted to make free throws, but there was no doubt that Raul's prestige was higher, and most of his teammates supported Raul, and Van Ni didn't say anything more when he saw Cassano walk away angrily.

At the same time, Zhang Yang is also considering whether to use his words to prevent Real Madrid's penalty kick.

It would be dangerous to let Real Madrid score again.

When there is only one goal left between the two teams, Real Madrid will surely be full of fighting spirit to enter the game, as they only need one more goal to be able to eliminate Millwall directly by away goals.

That's dangerous!

Zhang Yang thought about it, and finally decided to try his luck and added a 'lucky blessing' to Graham, so that his luck was better, and it was best to keep the nature, and if he couldn't keep it, he would have a real death knock with Real Madrid in the next time.
