Chapter 463: Taking the Lead
In the 36th minute, the deadlock on the field was finally broken.
It was a great goal.
It was Real Madrid who launched a counter-attack from the left, and Heinze and Ricardo played a one-two combination, and after Heinze won the ball again, the ball was passed to the penalty area.
Ruud van Nistelrooy had his back to the goal, stopped the ball on his chest, and passed the ball to Baptista, who was inserted; Baptista chested the ball and then picked it up to Ruud van Nistelrooy, who had already turned around.
Van Nistelrooy cushioned the ball with his thigh, did not wait for the ball to land, and again cushioned the ball to the middle, Baptista followed, squeezed Marcos, did not wait for the ball to land, volleyed, the ball lightning across the distance of more than ten meters, grazed the post and flew into the net, Valdés failed to make a save.
The Barcelona fans put their heads together and let out a huge sigh.
Although it was an opposing fan, I had to admit that the process of scoring this goal was really exciting, and several consecutive passes did not let the ball land.
This is also the best match of Real Madrid's game.
After Real Madrid's goal, the formation was even more contracted, and Barcelona did not dare to press on it too much, with two speed players, Ricardo and Kaka, they pressed to find their own death.
Real Madrid had a chance to extend the score in the first half, and in the 45th minute, Kaka counterattacked with the ball at high speed, and stuffed the ball to the left side of the penalty area on the run.
Ricardo made a stop-and-shoot with his foot and quickly cut inside to shoot, Valdés couldn't touch the ball, but the arc of the ball was not strong enough to turn into the goal and slide out.
Soon the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
Ronaldinho caught up with the referee and exchanged a few words. In the first half, he fell a couple of times without being penalized, and he was a little unhappy about that.
Ricardo also walked over, and when he entered the tunnel of the players, he smiled and said to Ronaldinho: "You were not in great shape today. ”
Ronaldinho spread his hands: "There are always ups and downs." He smiled again: "Maybe my state will be fine in the second half." ”
"You should be at your peak now, and you shouldn't be in such a quick decline," Ricardo said sincerely, "Do you like to hear the media say that you are 'falling off a cliff'?" Listen to my advice, go to nightclubs less, train hard, and focus on football, we need you in 2010. ”
Ronaldinho smiled cynically: "So far away, who cares, I just have to enjoy the present." I know you mean well, Licardo, but I can decide for myself how I want to live my life. ”
It's hard for Ricardo to persuade him anymore, after all, although he and Ronaldinho have a good relationship, they are not to the point where they don't have to scruple to speak.
He just sighed and walked away.
Back in the dressing room, he whispered to Kaka: "Look at Ronaldinho like this, until the 2010 World Cup, Brazil will have to rely on us." He fell too quickly. ”
"It's a pity," Kaka echoed, adding that Brazil have lost two superstars in the past two years, Adriano and Ronaldinho, both of whom are typical of self-willed depravity, "and hopefully Ronnie can keep his current form until 2010." ”
Ricardo knew it was hard. Although Ronaldo is still scoring goals this season, it is self-fed.
After returning from injury, Ronaldo did not dare to fight against the opponent physically, and rarely attacked the opponent's backline with the ball alone as before, although the number of goals was not much less, but the content of the game was too bad.
And Ronaldo is now living more and more indulgently, training is becoming more and more careless, and it's hard to say how long he can maintain his form.
Pellegrini entered the engineer mode and commented on the first half of the game, asking the team to defend solidly in the second half, resolutely play defensive counterattacks, but not shrink too deep, start to press from the midfield, and do not give Xavi, Deco and other comfortable opportunities to pass the organization.
In terms of personnel, he made his first change, with Robben coming in for Ruud van Nistelrooy, with Ricardo up front and Raul moving to the left wing.
Van Nistelrooy was a little sullen, but no one comforted him.
He is actually not very old, he is the same year as Ronaldo, and if he is in another team, he should be able to dominate for a few years. But this season's Real Madrid, with Ronaldo and Ricardo in competition, his playing time is very limited, and it is said that he has already come up with the idea of going to see if there will be any action in this winter transfer window.
After the start of the second half, Barcelona stepped up their attack. But they still didn't dare to press too hard, because Ricardo was at the front, like a sharp knife, ready to plunge straight into their hearts.
Ricardo's speed is too fast, as long as a straight plug over the top, it is possible to form a single knife, no one dares to take it lightly, not only Marcos and Milito dare not press, even Puyol and often lag behind, ready to make up for the defense.
In the 52nd minute, Eto'o received a pass from Ronaldinho and fired a powerful shot from the corner of the penalty area, which went just wide.
Soon he created a chance for Iniesta, but Iniesta's shot was flimsy and Casillas confiscated the ball.
A flurry of threatening attacks gave Barcelona hope of an equaliser, with the backline unwittingly pressing forward.
At this time, Real Madrid played a counterattack, Baptista broke the ball in front of the penalty area, and went directly over the top to find Ricardo.
Ricardo began to run wildly, shaking Marcos off several metres and steadily stopping the ball towards Barcelona's goal.
Fortunately, Puyol was more alert, even if he came back to the defense, forcing Ricardo to stop for a short while.
Taking advantage of this, Marcos returned to the defense in place.
However, in the face of the two pressing, Ricardo made a feint and continued to break through to the baseline, Puyol did not dare to compete with Ricardo in terms of speed, and returned to the goal to set up defense, while Marcos chased all the way to the bottom line and knocked Licardo down before Ricardo passed.
The Real Madrid player immediately called for a penalty, but the referee signalled for the game to continue.
This goal is indeed vague, and it is okay to give a judgment, and it is reasonable not to give a penalty. It's Barcelona home, and the referee has to be affected a little bit.
The counter-attack made Barcelona's backline even more fearful, with Rijkaard waving his arms on the sidelines and shouting at his players not to press too hard and not to give Ricardo that chance again.
However, in the 57th minute, Kaka sent a through plug in the counterattack, and Licardo broke through to the penalty area with the ball, suddenly smashed the ball and shook off Abidal, and shot into the far corner with his left foot. Fortunately, Valdés was very focused and reacted immediately, and he was able to pluck the ball out of the line with his fingertips.
Both counter-attacks threatened Barcelona's goal, and Barcelona did not dare to press easily.
