Chapter 125: Raul Makes a Move!
In the first few minutes of the second half, the situation was almost identical to the first, with Atletico Madrid pressing and attacking to press their opponents, while Schalke 04 tightened up the formation and played the home side with inverted passes and solid defence.
With this kind of play, anyone would think that Schalke 04 is not enterprising.
However, their defense is very tight, and the positions between the players are also very close, so although Atletico pounced fiercely, there is no way to take such a "turtle shell" for a while.
"Does Magath think it's an acceptable outcome for his team to concede just two goals away from home?"
"Schalke 04 has a tradition of attacking and in the Bundesliga, their attacking prowess can even give Bayern Munich a headache, but now it seems ...... It is estimated that the fans in the stands will be sleepy. ”
"It's hard to imagine how Schalke 04 could have made it to the Champions League and even break through from the group stage with just meaningless back-and-forth passes!"
The fans in the stands did get a little bored to watch, and many of them even booed when the Schalke 04 players got the ball - Raul didn't want to boo, but the other Shakhtar players had nothing to do with them.
However, the players of Schalke 04 still went their own way, ignoring the cheers in the sky, and there was a big mountain rain coming towards me, and I stood still.
Atletico Madrid's players are also a little breathless, although they are the leading side, but the opponent does not play against you at all, it is a back and forth pass, which often makes their pressing and snatching, not to mention eating a lot of air, and wasting physical strength in vain.
While the boos at Calderón Stadium were getting louder, there was a sudden change in the situation on the field.
In the 61st minute, Draxler picked up the ball near the center circle, and Gabi rushed forward immediately. Despite knowing that the opponent will immediately transfer the football away. But you still have to rob it, you can't go with the other party, right?
Because he knows what the opponent will do next, Gabi pounces fiercely, he doesn't plan to cut off the football directly, but hopes to scare the opponent in such a ferocious way, in case the opponent's feet tremble and the pass is wrong? If that's the case, he'll have a chance to steal the ball and maybe play a quick counter-attack on the spot.
Gabi's dream hadn't woken up yet, but Draxler hadn't moved the ball away as he had done before. Instead, he stepped on and pulled, hit a time difference, and easily staggered with Gabi.
"Not good!"
Seeing Gabi being shaken, Qin Shou secretly screamed in his heart, and quickly ran over, wanting to block Draxler's next move.
However, it was too late, Draxler rushed through the center circle with the ball, and before Qin Shou arrived, a boccia ball went straight through. Gave the ball diagonally to Farfan, who was diagonally in front of him.
Farfan is also a fast horse, and after receiving the ball, he immediately took the ball forward, and with his speed, he pulled off Juanfran by half of his body. Then get up and cross.
Schalke 04's attack this time was very sudden, and the insertion was also very resolute, and Atletico Madrid was caught off guard, a mediocre counterattack. was threatened by them.
The ball made a semicircle in the air and then plummeted into the middle of the box, where Huntelaar jumped for the top. However, Miranda was staring at him closely, and he didn't have room to shake his head and hit the goal. He struggled to rub the ball and it fell to the top of the penalty area.
A ghostly blue figure suddenly came out and opened a shooting stance against the football.
Schalke 04's attack was too fast, and it was almost at this time that the commentators in the commentary box reacted.
"Sudden attack! Schalke 04 hit the front of Atletico's penalty area! ”
"Schalke 04 suddenly seemed to wake up, wow, their attack came too suddenly, too quickly! …… Huntelaar, shoot ......"
"There was no shot, Miranda followed him closely, heading back! He rubbed the ball to the top of the penalty area! Raul! Raul! ”
"Raul wins and gets angry—"
In the stands, the fans were not sleepy or yawn, Schalke 04's extremely threatening attack this time was like a stimulant for them, excitement was excitement, but more of a fright.
Many fans were wide-eyed, nervous and worried expressions written on their faces.
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
Guti muttered a few words of excitement, then stood up. With Baldano at his side, he was equally staring intently at the pitch.
On the sidelines, Simeone no longer had the leisurely expression of sitting in the coach's bench for a long time, and he stood up suddenly, with a bad premonition in his heart.
on the field.
Raul made a shot and Godin burst out of the box before falling to the ground for a tackle.
However, it is clear that Raul did not really shoot on goal.
With a nudge of the inside of his left foot, he followed up with his right foot to block a simple but spiritual croquette, dodging Godin's sliding tackle and rushing into the box.
Raul, who entered the penalty area, looked up unhurriedly and observed the goalkeeper's position, and did not choose to shoot immediately. His movements seemed slow, but elegant, Miranda dropped Huntelaar to fill in the position, and Raul easily flicked the ball, shook off the angle, and took another step before lifting his left foot.
This time it was a real shot.
Pluck the ball, shake the angle, pluck the ball again, get up on the feet, light enough to make people feel pleasing to the eye.
Courtois was anticipated and lunged to the left the moment Raul got to his feet. It was a moment of horror that filled his cheeks.
Raul's shot didn't have much power, it was floppy and weak.
The ball just arcs in mid-air and then plummets straight down.
It turned out to be a spoon shot.
Courtois felt powerless, chagrin and remorse - if he didn't move, the football would be guarded by him. But the truth is that he was humiliated by Chi Guoguo, a man who was regarded as a "god" by Spanish fans.
How big the other party's heart must be, and how explosive the self-confidence must be!
No matter what Courtois thinks, football fell into the net without any obstacles, very lightly and slowly, but it made all the Atletico players powerless.
2:1, Schalke 04, who was fighting away, pulled one back with Raul's astonishing spoon shot.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! The ball is in! The ball is in! It was Rau ...... who scored the goal You! Elegant dribbling, elegant shooting. Elegant goal! ”
"Raul! Raul! Raul! Raul...... Gonzalez! He is even old, but his feet are still young! His goal is still full of spirituality and still intoxicates countless people! ”
"Sixty-ninth goal! It was Raul's 69th goal in the Champions League! He will expand the Champions League goal record he holds again, every goal he scores, every step forward, he is creating a legend, setting a record! ”
The commentary bench was bursting, and the commentators seemed to have forgotten that they had previously criticized Raul for his inaction and lack of presence on the field, and they were all pulling their throats at this time. He roared hoarsely.
"Beautiful! Pretty! It's beautiful! This shot is really ...... Beautiful! ”
In the stands, Baldano raised his arms, jumped on his feet and cheered loudly.
Raul's goal was so beautiful that he had nothing to say, and the skill, judgment and confidence of being a top scorer were on full display.
Guti's face was full of excitement and excitement, but he didn't show up as high-profile as Baldano. He just threw his fist hard and sat down.
"This is Raul! This is Gonzalez! He was a fighter by nature and he never gave up! You think he's old? He'll tell you the truth that he's still the best and best shooter! ”
The Calderón Stadium fell silent. At this time, the fans of the home team are very entangled. Raul is a player they respect and an idol in the hearts of many people, but now the idol has broken through the door of his own team and is still entering so beautifully. Should they cheer or not?
After a while, the Atletico fans still did not choose to cheer, but many fans clapped their hands. Thumbs up in Raul's direction.
They can only show their support for Raul in this way, and not cheering, it means that their hearts are still towards their team.
Simeone, who was outside the court, waved his arm helplessly, but didn't say anything. I was really afraid of something, I originally thought that Raul was silent for most of the time, and he was not in good shape, but he didn't expect that the opponent suddenly made a force and pulled back the disadvantage of the game with a goal.
It's not just a goal, the most important thing is that Schalke 04 got an away goal, if the game ends with this scoreline, then it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to play away, and the opponent only needs one goal to knock them out.
When Simeone had a headache, Magath, who had a calm expression for most of the game, finally smiled, and he ran back and forth on the sidelines excitedly, like a child who was crazy about playing.
He also knows what it means to score such a goal, and if he gets an away goal, even if he loses this game, then he is happy with the result.
After the football went into the net, Raul ran towards the goal, he smiled and patted Courtois who had fallen to the ground and pounded the ground, smiled, and then got into the goal to scoop up the football and run towards the midfield.
The players of Schalke 04 ran up, clapping their hands constantly, and kept giving Qin Shou a thumbs up. Raul smiled kindly, then continued to run towards the center circle with the ball.
Courtois was a little stunned, looking at Raul's figure and being silent.
If someone else runs over and slaps themselves after scoring a goal and smiles at themselves, Courtois will definitely think that the other side is provoking. But the moment Raul smiled at him, he felt warm in his heart, as if he was encouraging him.
That's really ......
Courtois didn't know how to describe the feeling, he was clearly an enemy, but he felt heartwarmed.
I...... Courtois spat the ground, then stood up on the turf.
