Chapter 256: Competing for speed
At the start of the second half, Real Madrid showed their true colors. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info They didn't rush to attack because they were behind, but patiently organized in midfield.
Objectively speaking, the midfield combination of Matuidi, Motta and Verratti is the envy of many teams, but they are like a low-profile version of Skoda meeting the Volkswagen CC in front of the luxurious midfield of Luka Modric, Di Maria and Khedira......
Simply fighting hardness, they can not take advantage. But when opponents played tricks with them, PSG's midfield fell into total passivity.
With the advantage of midfield, Real Madrid gradually turned the scene in their favor, and Paris Saint-Germain could only threaten Real Madrid's goal with sporadic counter-attacks, using the individual ability of the front trident.
In the 51st minute, Shi Hao messed up Real Madrid's defense on the left side, he played Carvajal and Bale, who returned to defense, with the ball, and then crossed with his feet in the gap. Ibrahimovic stopped the ball with his back to his chest and jumped up to turn and volley a difficult volley that went over the crossbar.
A minute later, Real Madrid launched a fast attack, Di Maria broke through Mota, who was afraid to make a move because of a yellow card, and stepped on a bicycle at a rapid pace at the edge of the penalty area, shaking Miranda and then about to burst into the box. Miranda had no choice but to pull him down by the waist and received a yellow card.
Cristiano Ronaldo takes the free-kick.
The distance between this ball and the goal is about 25 meters. He, as usual, carefully laid the ball and exited far away. The Paris Saint-Germain players were nervously playing against the wall. If Shi Hao is a master of free kicks, then Ronaldo is a master of free kicks. With such a well-placed free-kick in his hands, it was definitely a tough test for PSG's goal!
Fans on both sides couldn't help but hold their breath, and only neutral fans could happily watch Ronaldo run with his habitual posture and slam his right leg on the ball!
Paris Saint-Germain's human wall jumps! Ronaldo's kick was rubbed on Cavani's head and changed direction slightly!
At this time, Sirigu made a crucial save. No one could have imagined that he would be able to react and lift the single palm of the football that changed the course off the crossbar!
Thiago Silva walked over and touched Sirigu's head and exclaimed, "Awesome, this save is awesome!" ”
Sirigu smiled and began to loudly direct the marking of the defending corners.
Di Maria took the corner and the ball was headed up by Marquinhos, but not far away. Cristiano Ronaldo fired with his right foot in the scramble, but the ball was blocked by Thiago Silva, who arrived in time to block it.
Di Maria took another corner from the left side of the field, and Ronaldo jumped high in the crowd and flicked the ball towards the goal with his head!
Only a crisp "pop" sound was heard, and the football hit the post and popped off the bottom line. It's dangerous!
Liu Ruoshi couldn't help but exclaim in the live broadcast room, Duan Wenxuan said: "Ronaldo has become more and more comprehensive after coming to Real Madrid, and his header is now also a powerful scoring weapon, this kind of scene is difficult to see in his Manchester United era." ”
Paris Saint-Germain can only suppress the shock with counter-attacks. In the 56th minute, Shi Hao once again rode alone, and this time he played fast and furious with Bale.
After winning the ball on the left side, he unexpectedly played a ball split, he strode the ball and tried to force an overtake himself from the touchline!
"Shi Hao! Facing the Bale, the ball is divided! Both of them are running wildly after this ball, too fast! Shi Hao poked the ball first! The two are still fighting for speed! ”
The side that ran with the ball was going to suffer a bit in terms of speed after all, and Shi Hao couldn't shake Bell away, but Bell didn't find a chance to break the ball from his feet.
Out of the corner of Shi Hao's eye, he saw that Ibu had beckoned in the penalty area and smashed the ball. Bell was fooled and quickly turned around. But Shi Hao kicked in the direction of the baseline again, and then crossed with his foot. Ibrahimovic jumped with his back to goal and headed the ball down the middle, where Verratti followed up with a direct shot that hit Khedira and went off the line.
Shi Hao and Bell raced for a while, and both of them were a little out of breath. It was Bale who recovered first and ran into the box to defend the corner.
At this time, Ancelotti made the decision to make a substitution. He also brought on Coentrão and Khedira for the same but more aggressive Marcelo and Isco.
His signal was clear that with just over 30 minutes remaining, Real Madrid were going all out to equalise.
Paris Saint-Germain's corner kick was again in vain, and the whole team retreated, leaving only Ibrahimovic and Shi Hao roaming in the front.
With Marcelo and Isco on the pitch, Real Madrid's midfield has completely lost its hardness, but the improvement in their playmaking is still obvious.
Isco is quick and accurate on the ball, and with his addition, Di Maria and Luka Modric are more at home. Four minutes after this substitution, Real Madrid had another chance.
They slowly infiltrated the edge of the PSG box through a series of passes in midfield, and then Modric suddenly picked up a cross to the wing, where Ramos assisted and quickly crossed after receiving the ball.
Benzema jumped up in front of the ball and Ronaldo shook his head hard in the middle and smashed the ball hard into the Paris Saint-Germain goal. Sirigu reacted with difficulty and slapped the ball out, but by chance, the ball flew towards Bale!
"Sirigu saves the ball, Bale! Bale shoots! The ball is in! He didn't waste the opportunity this time, he didn't wait for the football to hit the ground, and directly volleyed with his left foot to equalize for Real Madrid! ”
PSG's players were inevitably a little frustrated, but Shi Hao felt calm. It's still a draw now, isn't it? There's still a lot of time to score another goal.
"Paris Saint-Germain don't have time to sigh, they have to pick themselves up and find a way to get the game back on track, and they can't be led by the nose by Real Madrid anymore!"
In the 65th minute, Verratti took a corner kick from the left side of the field. Silva headed in and the ball bounced off Ramos. Verratti took another corner, this time it was Cristiano Ronaldo, who had returned to the box, to break the ball.
One minute later, Blanco also made a substitution, he replaced Mota, who was burdened with a yellow card and looked a little constrained under the onslaught of Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale and Di Maria, and replaced Cabaye to strengthen the defense.
In the 67th minute, Real Madrid again played near the Paris Saint-Germain penalty area through a combination, Modric and Isco passed in succession at the edge of the box, Cabaye and Matuidi were exhausted. It was then Luka Modric who suddenly got up and tucked the ball into the box, Benzema pulled back and did it back, and Isco followed up with a low right-footed shot that went wide of the post.
