Chapter 981 - Two goals from a free kick?
Elo's direct free-kick helped Valencia make the score 1-1, and Ancelotti, who was standing on the sidelines, had a brief exchange with Cazorla before sitting in the coach's box, crossing Erlang's legs and chewing gum mechanically.
When the game restarted, Real Madrid took advantage of the kick-off to immediately organize a wave of attacks, but the defender's Valencia was obviously well prepared, and Real Madrid's frontal attack was difficult to achieve.
Because Mourinho's tactics of the back three doomed them to not be able to dominate the positional attack, they could only rely on quick counter-attacks to create chances.
The attack ended in a desperate effort from Cristiano Ronaldo's ridiculously wide range.
Valencia didn't have a good solution after the equaliser, after all, Real Madrid's main frame was set up entirely for defensive counter-attacks.
With the first goal conceded, Valencia did not dare to invest too much attacking force, and the Champions League semi-final was a two-legged contest, and a 1-1 draw away from Real Madrid was an acceptable result.
So after the score was drawn, the two sides fell into a stalemate again......
As the game entered a stalemate, fans on both sides in the stands also took the opportunity to rest, and the previous series of crazy shouts made their throats a little unbearable, and they had to recuperate.
The game was deadlocked, BBC TV commentator Lineker said: "It seems that the score in the first half will be fixed at 1:1, both sides are not strong in attacking support, Valencia, who controls the pace of the game, is more keen to increase their possession ratio, and the passive defense of Real Madrid is also happy to defend, waiting for the moment when Valencia's loophole appears, to give a fatal blow!" ”
In fact, the coaches of both sides of the game, Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti, have given up on the first half of the meeting, shifting the suspense of the game to the second half.
However, the players on the field do not think so, the premise of playing football to make money is to love the sport first, and the principle of sports competition is to win the game!
As leading goalscorers, Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo are on the same page.
Therefore, in the stalemate stage of the game, the efforts of the two were obvious to all.
It's just that it's limited by the lack of teammates to answer and declares bankruptcy.
The game lasted 45 minutes of regular time amid the clamour, with the fourth official giving a decent stoppage-time electronic card - one minute.
By this time, many fans had already left their seats and headed to the stadium to provide food for sale, and the previous nearly forty-five minutes of shouting had caused them to lose too much energy, and it was time to replenish their ......
Even if the ball is still the one who controls the pace of the game on the field, Valencia.
"--Whoa!"
However, Iroh's acceleration and the referee's whistle made the fans who did not leave their seats feel a tsunami of exclamation.
※※※
The camera goes back five seconds to just five seconds.
Iello got the football about 40 meters away from the Real Madrid goal, and Pepe, who was defending in front, did not dare to slack off.
It can be said that the stalemate between the two sides of the game has a lot to do with Pepe's effective restriction of Iro.
When the game entered the first half of injury time, Real Madrid basically gave up the idea of a quick counterattack and entered a full-fledged defensive state.
Di Maria saw Elo get the ball and wanted to help Pepe defend to see if he could cut off the ball at Elo's feet and try to see if he could exceed the score again before half-time.
As a result, Iroh raised his left elbow to resist the somewhat thin Di Maria, and at the same time pulled the ball back with the sole of his right foot, completing a half-turn and blocking Di Maria.
Seeing that it was profitable, Pepe suddenly moved two steps forward and tried to extend his right foot to stab the ball at Iro's feet.
However, Iello scrambled to kick the ball to James Rodriguez, who was three meters away from the right front, and then accelerated forward with the help of Di Maria's push behind him.
Pepe didn't stab Ello at his feet, so he reacted as Iroh accelerated on the spot and turned away......
But he turned around and ran two steps before he found an obstacle in front of him, and out of self-preservation instinct, he hurriedly stepped on the brakes and stopped sharply on the spot.
James Rodriguez was prepared, slamming the ball that Iello was kicking to the right with his left heel and then acting as a pick-and-roll in a basketball game.
Although Pepe subconsciously made a sharp stop, the distance between the two was too close, and Pepe, who played hard, directly knocked James Rodriguez to the ground after the ball.
Because the offense was favorable, the referee did not blow the whistle, and Iroh took advantage of the situation to push the ball forward and speed up.
Khedira and Xavi Alonso, who stayed in the middle, were immediately nervous, especially the latter, who had already received a yellow card for Ailo, so his defensive options were limited.
The innocent Khedira wanted to foul, but a disguised shot from Iroh at high speed shook him over.
Seeing that Iroh was about to enter the thirty-meter area, a white lightning bolt rushed from the side, reaching out and pulling the jersey behind Iro.
Because of his lack of preparation, Iroh was unbalanced by the sudden force and fell to the ground.
Immediately, the referee's whistle sounded.
※※※
Mourinho, who was standing at the entrance of the players' tunnel waiting for the end of the first half, had his mouth half-open, and he did not know whether he was dissatisfied with Cristiano Ronaldo's foul or supported it.
In principle, Cristiano Ronaldo was the right choice to foul as a striker after Aillo's breakthrough of Pepe, Khedira and Xavi Alonso, but the problem is that the place of the foul is very sensitive.
Ayroh's previous direct free-kick was in much the same place......
Huang Jiaxiang instantly came to his senses and said excitedly: "Cristiano Ronaldo actively made up for the defense and pulled Ello to the ground, and the referee decisively blew a foul, this position is very good, and Arlo had a record of scoring near here more than ten minutes ago......"
Many commentators in the commentary booth were full of anticipation for Valencia's direct free-kick, especially after seeing the broadcaster give the straight distance from the goal where the foul was fouled.
In the stands, regardless of the fans who left the seats or those who did not, they all looked straight at Iello who was about to take a direct free kick.
Iello was a bit miserable to be marked by Pepe in this game, but his direct free-kick found the goal of Casillas, which showed that he was still on his feet.
This also causes real Madrid supporters to be quite worried.
Will there be a brace from a free kick?
No one knows the outcome, so we can only wait......
