Chapter 126: The King of the European War
Qin Shou has to admit that this legendary player in Madrid and even Spain is indeed very powerful.
Whether it is running, breaking through, or kicking the goal, they are extremely dexterous and fluttering, and in shooting, they have the confidence of a super shooter.
The most important thing is that the opponent's ball quotient is still very high.
Being able to watch the game well, read the game, and take the game to the predetermined track of the game step by step is truly worthy of the name of legend.
If Qin Shou didn't know that Raul was deliberately exerting his strength in the second half at this time, then he would really be an idiot. He quickly understood why the opponent did this - after all, the 35-year-old veteran did not have the physical strength to compete with his opponent in the whole game. The idea of the opponent is to conserve energy and give it a go in the second half.
It was clear that Raul's 'tactics' worked, and his goal not only narrowed the gap but also secured a valuable away goal that could well have determined the final qualification in a two-legged knockout game.
Qin Shou rubbed his head in distress, but his heart was full of fighting spirit, and playing against such a "senior" would have more fun and learn more wisdom about football.
"Gonzalez is really amazing!"
"That's Raul, he's the king of Europe, he's the top scorer in the Champions League......
"Alas, my idol broke through the door of my team, and I was speechless......"
Atletico Madrid's players looked in Raul's direction and sighed. On their faces, although there was chagrin, there was no discouragement and depression, which made Qin Shou save a lot of effort. Originally, he thought that Raul's goal would greatly damage the morale of the big guys, but now it seems. Apart from amazement and appreciation, there were not many other negative emotions.
From this point, it can also be seen that Raul's influence is indeed huge - it is precisely because of this influence that everyone will think that Raul scoring goals is a normal thing, after all, the opponent is the king of European competition, very powerful.
However, Courtois's expression was a little complicated and inexplicable. Standing in place, stunned for a while, gritting his teeth for a while.
"Don't take it personally, Thibaud."
Qin Shou thought that Courtois was angry about the lost goal, and stepped forward to comfort him.
"That guy is really good." Courtois looked complicated, and said softly: "But I can't be angry, I ......" Courtois said a little embarrassed, "I even admire him in my heart, it's really ......"
Qin Shou nodded. patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Now it seems that he is indeed a very powerful and infectious player, this is the so-called 'charisma of the leader'?" Hehe, don't think about it, concentrate on the game. ”
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
After the restart, Schalke 04 were noticeably more active than before, and they had a wider range of runs on the field. Players also interacted with each other more frequently, constantly pushing the line forward.
This kind of offensive stance is what Atletico Madrid loves. Although their attacking ability is not the top in La Liga, their pressing is a must in La Liga, and the quick counterattack that follows is even more of a headache.
The two teams start to go back and forth on the field.
Raul's performance was also very different from before, not only actively attacking forward, but also constantly running up and down, connecting the attack in midfield. This has put a lot of pressure on Atletico's backline. Raul's running position is very erratic, like a civet cat, a person can't look at him at all, and often follows Raul and disappears.
It is precisely because of Raul's containment that Schalke 04 other players have more offensive opportunities.
Seventy-first minute. Raul received the ball in the middle, a hidden heel bump, and the ball was sent to the top of the arc of the box. Farfan suddenly rushed out with a shot on goal, and the football was saved by Courtois, shocking the home fans into a cold sweat.
Two minutes later, it was Raul again, who ran diagonally into the box and the ball was crossed by Huntelaar, who hit the goal with his left foot from a tight angle, but was denied by the post.
During this period of time, Schalke 04's offensive has become more and more turbulent. Of course, Atletico Madrid is not entirely without chances.
In the seventy-third minute, Qin Shou got an excellent shot in the front court. On the penalty line, he broke through Papalopski's defence with two consecutive smashes, shook off the angle, and hit the goal with his feet.
This shot, which is absolutely inevitable in normal times, is deflected off the post. This made Qin Shou annoyed, and in recent times, his shooting luck has indeed been a little poor.
'Schalke 04 finally got on the score, and after the goal, their momentum came up and Raul's performance was back to normal.
"In fact, the score of 2:1, Schalke 04 is completely acceptable. But I don't know what Magath thinks, he didn't do anything before, and now he has scored an away goal, which should be satisfied, but he just asked to continue attacking. ”
"Now the two sides are in an evenly balanced balance, and whoever can score first will have the initiative to advance."
The commentators commented excitedly, and the home fans in the stands were speechless. In the first half, they played smoothly, but who would have thought that in the second half, Schalke 04 was like a different team, full of morale, and dared to fight against Atletico Madrid in the ring, and they also played well, which made tens of thousands of Atletico Madrid fans frightened, for fear that if one did not pay attention, the opponent would score again. Not only did it equalise, but it also gave the opponent two away goals, and that was a real disaster.
As the saying goes, the good is not good, the bad spirit is really what you want.
In the 81st minute of the game, after Atletico's attack in front of the court was blocked, Schalke 04 launched another counterattack.
Draxler kicked the ball from the back to the right side of the pitch, which is Atletico's left. Raul appeared there and unloaded the football with ease.
Raul's absolute speed is not fast, but he combines the ball very well, so in the game, he rarely uses his speed to eat opponents raw.
However, this time, he directly chose to lie down and change the line, and quickly rushed towards the middle.
Felipe was unexpected, and was directly deceived by Raul. However, his reaction was quick, and he turned around and quickly chased back. Simply because he was much faster than Raul, he quickly narrowed the distance between him and the other party.
As a result, Raul seemed to have eyes behind him, stepped on the football lightly with his left foot, pulled and flicked, and let Felipe, who was rushing too hard, pass, and Raul let the other party pass again.
Felipe's face was full of shame, and he was about to chase back and paste it again. Raul flicked the ball with his left foot, and then shot straight at goal.
"Raul! His abrupt change of line got rid of Felipe...... The Atletico full-back chased after him again, stepped on it and flicked it, Felipe pounced too hard and was thrown away again......"
"Raul plucks the ball, ahhhhhhh......h Raul went straight to the shot! ”
"It's incredible, at such a long distance, at such a small angle, Raul actually chose to shoot directly!"
The commentators all clamoured, their faces full of shock and horror, and they screamed.
Raul's position at the moment is on the left side of the penalty line, not too far or too close to goal, but the angle is small, and it is not easy to shoot in this position.
But Raul missed the shot, and that's what he was confident about.
The king of Europe was clever in his shot, watching Courtois' position before he shot and the opposition stood near the left side of the goal to prevent him from cutting inside or sending in a low cross. So he made a huge arc with the inside of his left foot to get around the goalkeeper and spin the ball into the right side of the goal.
Sure enough, the football drew an obvious half-moon trajectory in the air, and before everyone could react, the football was fast and fast like a full moon scimitar, falling straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Courtois only then realized that Raul was going to hang the door. His face was full of horror, and he moved his feet in a panic, then flew sideways.
But there is nothing that can be done.
Like a precision-guided missile, the soccer ball smashed into the intersection of the column and the beam, making a dull "clang" sound, and finally bounced to the ground and rolled over the white line.
Courtois once again learned how good Raul was to shoot, and without looking back, he knew the football had gone in. He slapped the ground with resentment and chagrin, feeling indescribably uncomfortable. Atletico Madrid's performance this season is inseparable from his outstanding performance, which also makes him feel a sense of pride, believing that although he is young, he definitely has the potential of a generation of goalkeepers.
But now, Raul's two shots and two goals have made him hit hard. Facing a super shooter of Raul's level, he felt really powerless.
There was silence at Calderón Stadium, and all the fans were staring wide-eyed, disbelieving, painful, and frustrated...... All kinds of expressions are intertwined, but in the end, they can only turn into silence.
Everyone understands what this goal means, everyone doesn't know how to speak out at the moment.
Only the voices of the commentators who were still excited and excited continued to echo over the stadium.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Raul! Raul! Raul...... Gonzalez! Brace! This stroke of genius helped Schalke 04 equalize the score! Not only that, but they also got two away goals, and the road to promotion is smooth! ”
"Seventy ball! This is Raul. Gonzalez's 70th goal in the Champions League! He's still breaking the record he holds for himself! The king of the European war, he is the real king of the European war! ”
"This is Raul! This is a true legend in Spain! That's what it is...... The power of the king of European wars! ”
