Chapter 892 - It's All About Three Points
“Goooooooooooooooal! Goal! Goal!! Cristiano Ronaldo!! Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor shouted: "Brilliant direct free-kick! Cristiano Ronaldo's direct free kick of more than 35 meters broke through the goal guarded by Wang, and his long-distance direct free kick was more visually striking than Ai's 'flying fairy'!! ”
The live director locked the camera on Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, he looked very excited, and roared at the sky with a hideous face, now he needs to vent very much, Real Madrid was reversed and won by Barcelona at Camp Nou last round, and the team's top management bore the brunt, but he also has a lot of responsibility as the team's most expensive star.
After the game, he naturally became the target of Madrid's media catharsis, and this time Real Madrid equalized less than three minutes behind, which shows that he Cristiano Ronaldo is not only playing downwind, but also against the wind!
"The goal was—"
"- Cristiano Ronaldo!!" The Real Madrid fans in the stands chanted in a collective accord with the incendiary tone of the live announcer.
Watching Portugal's compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo's direct free kick, Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and celebrated the goal with his long-time assistant Faria, because this goal came very timely, if it was a little later, it is estimated that Valencia would take advantage of the lack of defense in Real Madrid during this time to expand the score.
Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated as he raised his right arm slightly and held his thumb in his mouth, a goal for his son, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos.
After the replay of multiple shots ended, the live director followed the strategy of Ailo's previous goal, first giving the smiling Cristiano Ronaldo a close-up shot of his face, and then aimed at Valencia's vice-captain Ailo.
However, Iroh, who was a little different from the previous one, did not show any discomfort, but grinned playfully, as if it was not a real game that was behind, but a game of live football.
At this time, Messi, who was on the way back to the team's hotel by bus, frowned, Cristiano Ronaldo's goal made his league goals become twenty-three, that is, there is only one goal gap with Messi's twenty-four goals, according to the posture of the direct free kick just now, he is in good shape!
He really didn't expect that in just three minutes, Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo would each score a goal.
The game restarted, and Real Madrid continued to play according to the strategy formulated before the game because the two sides returned to the same running line.
Therefore, the emperor began to defend the counterattack again at his home stadium, and Xavi Alonso, who mentioned the central midfield position, also returned to his back position, assisting the back line to strengthen the defense of Ailo and others, and insisted on implementing the tactics of rapid counterattack, although the goal just now was scored by Cristiano Ronaldo relying on his personal ability, but the previous series of rapid transmission was the real reason for the set-piece.
Although it is a bit faceless to defend and counter-attack at the Bernabeu, but face cannot win games, and only the right tactics can help the team win the opponent, so Xavi Alonso is a loyal fan of Mourinho, at least ...... They were still in the early days of cooperation.
Jose Mourinho, the youngest manager on the planet to win three Champions League titles, has this contagion.

The home team Real Madrid contracted in their own half, and the game became Valencia's half-court offensive and defensive drills, Ancelotti, who was standing on the sidelines, felt his heart beating violently, as if something dangerous was about to happen, he looked up at the number of attackers who pressed into the Real Madrid half, and hurriedly shouted: "Eh, control the rhythm, control the rhythm!" ”
Albelda, who was about to send the ball forward, quickly took back his right foot, and pulled the ball to the left with the sole of his foot.
Actively strengthen the attack because the team conceded a goal to quickly overtake the score, and now after Ancelotti's reminder, he immediately realized that the strong attack is useless, and the root cause of the previous goal was that they were anxious to expand the score, and the result was ...... A classic quick counter-attack by Real Madrid saw Alba come back from the flanks and have to bring down Mesut Ozil from 35 yards out.
If you want to beat Real Madrid, who are firmly defending and counterattacking away from home, you must endure loneliness, dispatch Real Madrid's defensive strength through frequent foot passes, and wait for the fatal hole!
Thereupon...... The next situation on the field became Real Madrid's superstars defending back and forth, and Valencia was not in a hurry to pass the ball forward, but frequently passed laterally, unless there was a good space in the middle.
This situation also led to a stalemate in which one of the players had to score and upset the balance if they wanted to change that form.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the first half.
During this time, Real Madrid had a lot of counter-attacking opportunities, but Valencia had prepared for it and did not pose a threat.
Therefore, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score was still fixed at 1:1
At this time, Barcelona arrived at the hotel by bus, and Vilanova said in Guardiola's ear: "At the end of the first half, the score is still 1:1!" ”
Pep Guardiola's eyes lit up and he muttered: "I wish this score would be kept until the end of the game." ”
If the match ends with a score of 1:1, then Valencia and Real Madrid add one point each, 38 and 33 points respectively.
Although the gap with Real Madrid has not widened, the previous six-point gap with Valencia has become four, which is a very delicate difference, and if the leader Valencia is not careful, it will fall from the top of the table, giving up the top spot to the defending champions Barcelona.
Thinking of this, Guardiola grinned.
The reporters who were ambushed in the hotel lobby in advance took a wild shot at the smiling Guardiola, knowing that the images would be of great help to tomorrow's news coverage.

Fifteen minutes into the break, Carlo Ancelotti made a slight change to his team's tactics.
A point on the road is the bare minimum and four points from the first half of the league in the first two national derbies is a very happy score, and it would be better if they could have picked up three points on the road.
However, Ancelotti understands Mourinho well, and he will certainly not let himself easily take away a win at the Bernabeu Stadium, so it is better to be careful in the second half of the game, so as to continue to control the rhythm of the game, and wait for Mourinho's tactical changes to make detailed adjustments.
At the end of the day, half-time is a moment when the coaches of both sides battle their wits and courage.
The atmosphere in the home team's dressing room is still relatively good, and all the players turned their attention to the head coach Mourinho as soon as they entered the dressing room, and they all knew that no one's light could hide the Portuguese in front of him, and at the age of 47, he won three European Champions League titles, which is unique in world football.
Therefore, even if there are many factions in the Real Madrid dressing room, they must give the Portuguese three points of thin face and be at their disposal.
Mourinho coughed lightly, looked at compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, and said: "In the first 20 minutes of the second half, first stabilize the defense and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, and wait until 20 minutes later, Xavi's position is premise, Sami actively stepped forward to participate in the attack, and defeated the away team Valencia in one go!" ”
Hearing this, Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was even about to emit a substantial dazzling brilliance!
If the team can be actively involved in the attack, then he will have more support and a better chance of scoring, and it will be no problem to help Real Madrid win Valencia at the Bernabeu, which means that his battle with Ailo will end in victory.
That's great news!
The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, with players jogging from the tunnel to the Bernabeu Stadium to fight for the remaining 45 minutes.
In the second half, neither side made any substitutions, and they were still the starters of the first half.
Real Madrid, who were the first to kick off, did not surprise Carlo Ancelotti at half-time, they did not show a strong inclination, but passed forward slowly, and finally Cristiano Ronaldo ended the attack with a long-range shot, and the football was even higher than the second floor of the stands, which is commonly known as anti-aircraft guns.
Mourinho frowned, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed too relaxed......
"In the first half, the two sides fought 1:1, Real Madrid, who were playing at home, should increase their investment in attack, but the second half of the game has been more than five minutes, they still adhere to the first half of the game strategy, continue to defend solidly, play Valencia's counterattack, the result of the draw is acceptable to the away team, but the home team Real Madrid is unacceptable, they lost to Barcelona in the last round, if they fail to win in this round, then they will fall to the third place in the league, there is no use ......"
Martin Taylor voiced his doubts.
Andy Gray, who was sitting next to him, said: "As far as I know about Mourinho, he will definitely not stay at home all the time, I believe that when the game enters a certain stage, that is, when Real Madrid suddenly makes a force, he will catch the away team off guard, or even kill with one blow, killing the game!" ”
Ancelotti, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, he really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Neo's gourd.
So he continued to put his mind on the team's attack, and one point away from home is the bottom line, and three points are the most perfect.
Other words...... Both sides are battling wits for the three points.
