Chapter 491: For the Celebration (I)
Hierro fell straight to the ground and slid towards Aimar, the ball was no longer a question of whether to eat or not, he had to let the Valencians know that the penalty area they were guarding did not allow them to be so presumptuous.
But Aimar reacted quickly and picked the ball up just as Hierro fell to the ground, picked up Hierro who was sliding on the ground, and landed at Tony's feet.
Toni adjusted slightly, facing the attacking Casillas and shot the ball into the far corner in the opposite direction, this kind of one-on-one ball was very easy for Toney, his shot was very accurate, although Casillas reacted quickly enough, but still half a beat slow, his hand stayed in the air but did not touch the ball.
After scoring the goal, Fan Shang first looked at the referee to see how he would judge the ball, and the referee pointed to the center circle, and then ruled that the goal was valid. Fan Shang relieved himself at this time, he was really afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years.
1:0 Valencia led Real Madrid away from home.
The fans continued to boo, the first was to boo the away team Valencia, the second was to boo the manager Bosque, and the third was to play a sign to let Florentino get out.
Florentino gritted his teeth and sat in the box, he had no sense of the reaction of the fans, but he was really annoyed that Real Madrid was being played like this at home, and he needed to buy a few more stars in the summer, which was not strong enough now. But in an instant, a cruel smile appeared on Florentino's face, "The time has not yet come, but now it is time to control it." ”
After continuing the game, Bosque also understood that he was not protecting enough in front of the central penalty area, but the big names could not follow his command to defend, so Bosque made a new decision, let Elgrera go outside the box to protect the box with Makelele, and the penalty area was left alone to watch Tony.
This is a way that there is no way, but Bosque's reaction is really fast, Fan Shang is a little admired, such an adjustment, Valencia originally had no advantage in numbers outside the penalty area, which greatly reduced Valencia's offensive efficiency.
But Real Madrid began to slowly change their role after stabilizing the defense, although the counterattack is not good, but the individual ability of several superstars is there, and positional attack is what they are good at.
Zidane, Figo and Solari are becoming more and more frequent, Zidane is a player who is very able to judge the situation, after coming to Real Madrid, he obviously consciously reduced the frequency of his dribbling and increased the number of passes, which not only accelerated the offensive speed of Real Madrid, but also improved his status in the team.
In the 30th minute, Zidane went straight to Raul in the penalty area, Raul dribbled horizontally, and then picked up Morientes, who headed the ball under Lucio's interference, and the ball was denied by Canizaresto.
In the 35th minute, Figo received a pass from Zidane and cut inside to shoot, and the ball grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line.
In the 37th minute, after receiving Zidane's pass at the top of the penalty area, Raul wanted to go directly to the far corner of the goal, but Canizares reacted quickly and hit the ball sideways into the goal.
This three consecutive attacks made Vincent sweat for Valencia, although Real Madrid still has various problems defensively, but there are superstars on the offense, and the play is smooth.
However, Valencia is not idle, since his goal is threatened, the Real Madrid goal is not too peaceful.
In the 33rd minute, after receiving a half-high pass from Mendieta in the penalty area, Toni stopped the ball on his chest and forced a sweep against Hierro, but he did not hit the right position and the ball was off the line.
In the 39th minute, Aimar had a one-two with Angullo, who cut inside and shot too straight and was held in his arms by Casillas.
In such a close situation, it will take an X-factor to break the deadlock, but Valencia and Real Madrid's routine is already clear, and there is no way to do it.
However, the X-factor doesn't have to be two teams, it can be something else.
In the 46th minute, just one minute into the first half, Zidane looked at Figo on the wing, but passed the ball to Raul in the penalty area at his feet.
At this time, Raul was in an offside position, and Fan Shang happened to be in the half of his own goal, and he saw it quite clearly, but the assistant referee did not make any moves.
Raul himself was a little unconfident when receiving the ball, looked up at the assistant referee, and was a little slower by half a beat, but at this time, Canizares' attack had arrived, he first threw the ball in his arms, and then rolled on the ground, bringing down Raul.
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and he didn't know the others, anyway, Fan Shang's first reaction was to rush the goalkeeper. But when his eyes were drawn to the referee, his gesture surprised Fan Shang, "Why is it a penalty!" ”
Fan Shang immediately rushed towards the fourth official, telling him that what he had seen with his own eyes was first offside, and then the ball that Canizares touched first. But the fourth official turned a deaf ear, and just strictly ordered Fan Shang to return to his position, and the rest was the referee's matter, which had nothing to do with him, the head coach.
Seeing this situation, as a person who came over, Fan Shang understood what he had encountered, these things cannot be changed, at least within these 90 minutes, Fan Shang shouted a few times on the field, don't let the players argue too much, but the attitude still has to be.
At this time, Ottie, who was watching the game in the box, punched the armrest of the sofa, this time he did not share a box with Florentino, and if he was together, Otti didn't know if he could control his fists. But by this point he could figure out why Florentino didn't sit with him, this old fellow had a weak heart!
At this time, the expressions of Florentino and Baldano, who were separated by a wall from Otti, were not much easier, to be honest, these things were actually used by them to lock up the win at the end of the second half, but Valencia forced Real Madrid's thousands of cards out in advance, although a penalty was awarded, but Real Madrid was a little difficult to play in the second half, it is not the same as Italy, I dare not be too blatant, once or twice can, and the referee can't afford it.
The penalty was taken by Hierro, and there was no action, just a powerful volley, and Canizares had already scored before he fell to the ground.
