Chapter 493: For the Celebration (Part II)
2:1, at the beginning of the second half, Valencia made several consecutive fuss in the middle, and Toni was lucky to score a goal.
At this time, Hierro knelt in the penalty area with a lonely face, and listened to Casillas say that he understood that his push not only did not work, but helped Toney score a surprise goal.
Fortunately, the referee was his own person, and when the Valencia players were celebrating the goal, he came over and just warned himself verbally, and did not give a card for the push just now.
Just as the Valencia players were celebrating, Fan Shang, who noticed this detail, approached the fourth official, although he knew that it would not make much difference, but he was dissatisfied and had to let the referee know.
When the game started again, Real Madrid began to attack unhurriedly, and they did slack off at the beginning of the second half, but the goal fueled the anger of these stars, who could not accept a defeat at home, especially at home in the centenary celebrations.
Florentino was also quite angry after this goal, he did everything he could, but why are the players on the field so uncompetitive, Hierro, the captain is old, and Real Madrid's backline is going to be renewed.
Vincent really didn't know, and he couldn't possibly know, that it was Valencia's match against Real Madrid that hastened Hierro's departure.
The game went on and now it was back to the situation it was like in the first half when Valencia were leading, the two sides were blowing each other up, but the last kick or the last pass was not satisfactory.
In the 68th minute, Real Madrid took the lead in making a substitution, replacing Solari, who had been inactive in today's game, with McManaman, which strengthened Real Madrid's attack on the left side.
In the 72nd minute, Real Madrid made another substitution, replacing Makelele with Savio, Bosque was completely gambling, and the purpose was clear with so many attacking players on the far left.
Vincent certainly won't sit idly by, and in the 73rd minute, Vincent replaced Aimar with Abidal, which increased the number of players in the backline to four, and Vincent was ready to meet the fury of Real Madrid.
In the 78th minute, Real Madrid took the ball on the left side, he made a move to divide the ball, but the ball continued to be controlled at his feet, and then suddenly crossed the penalty area, Raul rushed to the front point to shoot, Ayala followed very closely, and the ball shot by Raul was out of the bottom line.
Vincent didn't feel right, and directly used up the last two substitutions in his hands in the 79th minute, both of which were to strengthen the defense, replacing Toney with Van Bronckhorst and Angulo with Marchena.
Van Bronckhorst was deployed at full-back, Marchena at the back and Albelda and Baraja began to help the wings more.
Valencia now has no striker, and can only rely on the two players in the front, Belleron and Mendieta, to counterattack, but the speed of the two is average, so they are not at all advantageous in the counterattack.
In the 82nd minute, Real Madrid broke through and replaced Salgado with striker Munitis, this time Real Madrid really didn't want the backline, and only Hierro and Elguera were left behind, and Hierro often had to insert assists.
In the 86th minute, Real Madrid were given a corner kick and Figo sent the ball into the box, and to be honest, the number of defenders in Valencia's box is not very advantageous right now.
Both the offensive and defensive players wanted to grab the first point, but four or five people jumped up to grab the point, interfered with each other, collided with each other, and none of them could touch the incoming ball.
The ball flew to the back point, Savio shot with his foot under the interference, the force was not big, but the angle was more tricky, Canizares flew and could only barely block it, did not hit the ball far, and pushed people to rush up, some to make up shots, and to clear the siege, and some were squeezed over.
In the midst of such chaos, the referee's whistle sounded, and everyone stopped, lying on the ground, lying on the ground, kneeling, standing, sitting, on the field, outside the field, all eyes looked at the referee.
Fan Shang didn't see what was going on, he was not on the side of the goal now, and could only wait for the referee's decision.
The referee did not immediately gesture after the whistle, but ran towards the penalty area himself, and when he reached the penalty line, he stretched out his arm.
Penalty kick! Penalty kick!
"Rub!" Fan Shang scolded his mother in his heart after seeing the referee's gesture, why is it a penalty again, although he can't see it clearly, but in the end, the innocent actions of the players Fan Shang understands that Valencia was hacked again this time.
However, looking at the referee's determined appearance, there is no room for recovery in this matter, this penalty is about to be hacked, but the strange thing is that the referee only awarded a penalty, and the specific foul was not pointed out.
It's another dumb loss exactly like it was before the end of the first half, you have to eat it, you have to eat it, you have to eat it if you don't eat it.
It was Zidane who took the penalty in vain, and it didn't take much effort, a small change before the shot made Canizares save in the wrong direction, and the score was rewritten by Zidane to make it 2:2.
With less than ten minutes remaining, both teams are back on the same page.
Fan Shang doesn't have much hope, in the little time left, relying on the current Valencia lineup, although Real Madrid has no defense, but it is difficult for Mendieta and Belleron to score again.
Real Madrid is the same, although there are many offensive players, but Valencia's defenders don't say it, unless the referee makes another shot, otherwise Real Madrid will be a thunderous and rainy life.
Fan Shang had already given up, sat back in his seat, and waited for the moment that ended in a draw.
But there were people on the field who did not give up, in the 89th minute, Mendieta and Belleron ran to the right side of Real Madrid at the same time, here Salgado is blank after the game, compared to the left side of the Carlos, the two can run here a little easier.
Although Elgra moved to defend, the combination of Bellerón and Mendieta's collision with the wall made Elgra impossible to find the north.
However, Belleron was a little hasty when he shot at the end, and Hierro's early rush made him a little panicked, after all, he was the big brother of the national team, and Belleron was suppressed in momentum.
However, this attack gave Fan Shang hope again, and then returned to the sidelines, ready to hold on until the end of the match.
There were three minutes of stoppage time in the game, and whoever wants to win must break the opponent's goal in the last three minutes.
