Chapter 979: The Price of a Yellow Card

Ancelotti can be said to be well aware of the situation on the field, but he did not find a suitable way to break the game, but only signaled the players on the field to reduce the number of direct passes, increase the number of horizontal passes, and dispatch Real Madrid's defensive force.

At the same time, try to use the numerical advantage of the two wings to cross, after all, Aillo's ability to grab points is so strong, without trying a new attacking routine, it really can't knock on the goal protected by Real Madrid's solid defensive system.

The opportunity soon came, and after getting used to the density of Real Madrid's players, Eello began to frequently take advantage of his fast movement at his feet to grab points.

And the landing point of the two side crosses is becoming more and more accurate, and they can always fall to the danger in the penalty area, plus the defenders in the penalty area do not dare to use too much defensive action, they don't want to test the referee's penalty scale in the penalty area, otherwise once the penalty is sentenced, it will be a fatal blow!

In a crucial game like the Champions League semi-finals, any home goal conceded will be magnified infinitely, and when the time comes, it will be impossible to cry if you are eliminated because of the home goal conceded.

Therefore, the defenders who followed Ailo into the penalty area did not dare to be too presumptuous.

In the 23rd minute, Cesar Azpilicueta crossed from the right at 45 degrees, and at the same time, Iroh suddenly made a sudden stop near the penalty spot in disguise and ran forward, and Pepe and Ramos, who were staring at Iro, did not have time to react.

In the shot, Iello flashes like a cheetah that has accelerated to the extreme, appearing above the landing point of the football.

“Oh-My-God!!”

The Real Madrid TV commentator only had time to exclaim, then looked at the big screen in horror, and Iello leaned over and jumped at the top of the football, and then, his voice changed, shouting: "- Saint-Igor!!" ”

Goalkeeper Casillas reacted god-level under the wish of all Real Madrid fans, he subconsciously tiptoed his left foot hard, and the whole person was like a spring squeezed to the extreme, and the football that almost grazed the inner edge of the goal was saved from the goal line.

"Wouldn't it? Pounced out? Huang Jianxiang, the CCTV commentator in the on-site commentary seat, had his eyes wide open, and his face was full of incredulity.

Ramos, who accelerated forward, followed and swooped down to push the ball out of the bottom line to defuse the crisis.

Immediately, there was a huge exclamation over the Bernabeu Stadium, as if their team had scored a goal.

At the same time, Casillas, who had risen from inside the goal, made a rare leap from the turf and raised his arms and shouted, giving him the feeling that he was even more thrilled than winning the World Cup as captain.

In fact, it feels like this.

Spain's World Cup trip to South Africa felt a bit of a standout, with Casillas' goal not being tested too much.

It was a different story against Elloh, who had almost forgotten how many goals he had scored by Ikello since the 26th round of the 2004-2005 Spanish Primera Division.

When Spain won the World Cup last year, the BBC interviewed captain Casillas and asked him who he least wanted to face, and he subconsciously replied yes - Iro!

This shows how great his fear of Iroh is.

Therefore, it is acceptable to be so excited to block Elo's must-have goal.

As Valencia prepared to take a corner, the live director repeated Casillas' divine save no less than five times.

The commentators in the commentators were amazed by Casillas' reaction, in the words of the Real Madrid TV commentator: "Incredible save, Casillas was like predicting the flight path of the football in advance!" ”

After Valencia's cross from the wing, Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned and asked the two wide defenders to pay attention to the wide defense, and not let the Valencia attacking players easily send the ball to the penalty area.

The execution of the Real Madrid players was indeed excellent, with Cesar Azpilicueta on the right and Jordi Alba on the left both being disturbed to varying degrees, and the quality of their crosses plummeted.

However, Valencia's attack was not disturbed by this, as if they knew that Real Madrid would have to increase the defense on both flanks, and began to try to change their attacking strategy and refocus on the two attacking ribs.

After all, Real Madrid is a passive defense, and the number of people is also limited, and it is certain that all of Valencia's attacking methods cannot be restricted, so it is inevitable that there will be some panic in the process of switching defensive modes.

※※※

After Valencia's attacking pattern changed, Iroh was pulled out of the box again.

Pepe, as before, defended closely to Elo, regardless of whether he was in possession of the ball or not, and strictly carried out the defensive tasks assigned by manager Jose Mourinho.

In the past three minutes since Valencia's attacking style changed, Ellora came out even further, almost 45 metres from the Real Madrid goal, where midfield playmaker Cazorla stood.

Seeing that Iroh was so far away from the goal, Pepe was a little hesitant in his heart, and the nearly thirty minutes of the first half of the game had already consumed a lot of energy from staring at Iro, and he doubted that he would be able to support the whole game if he continued to defend with a wide range of men.

Cazorla saw that Pepe's stint against Iroh had decreased, and handed the ball to Iro.

At this time, Di Maria came from the flank and back, trying to catch Iroh off guard......

But Iroh can be the best offensive player in the world, how can he be attacked by a half-attacking player?

Iroh leaned to the left, and Di Maria subconsciously shifted to the left in order to avoid fouling, and raised his arms to show that he had not fouled.

In fact, Di Maria's tackle was suspected of a foul, but Iroh was still in possession at his feet, and the referee raised his arms to signal the game to continue.

And Iro, with the help of Di Maria, stepped forward with the strength of the previous trip, accelerating.

In the blink of an eye, it was in Real Madrid's 40-meter defensive zone.

Seeing that Elo was picking up the ball, James Rodriguez and David Villa both tacitly ran to the left, making the illusion of receiving and attracting the limited defensive attention of the Real Madrid backline.

Khedira in the middle was attracted to James Rodriguez, Xavi Alonso wanted to sit in the middle, and Pepe, who was already tasked with marking Ailo, immediately stepped forward to defend.

However, Iello unreasonably went straight to the right and forced a break through in the middle.

By the time Pepe half-turned and chased after Iro, it was too late, and he was like a wild horse that had escaped from the brair, like no one.

An orange bolt of lightning swept across the pitch at the Bernabeu, startling a shout from the stands.

Xavi Alonso knew he wasn't as fast as Iroh and was prepared for the worst.

Sure enough, Iroh shook him in a simple high-speed disguise, and Xavi Alonso had to foul him as a last resort, ending Iroh's solo performance at the cost of a yellow card.
