Chapter 1114: It's Not Three
With the huge cheers of 60,000 fans, the 2013-2014 Champions League final was officially announced.
Valencia, who kicked off first, did not blindly drive the ball forward, and the ball at the feet of Airo was handed to Cavani, who did not hesitate to pass back to the core of the midfield, Modric, and then followed Airo to the front of the field respectively, bringing huge pressure to Real Madrid.
Indeed, when Iello and Cavani entered Real Madrid's defensive half, the Real Madrid players felt varying degrees of nervousness, and Khedira, one of the two midfielders, made eye contact with Xavi Alonso and quickly followed Ailo to prevent the Valencia player from passing the ball to Ailo in the first place.
In addition, right-back Zhang Linpeng also took two steps forward, and the distance between him and Iroh was closer.
Of course, he didn't step forward blindly, but kept a proper distance, as this option would prevent Iroh's jerk from taking advantage of the large space behind him.
However, Modric, who controlled the tempo of the attack, did not have the idea of passing the ball to Elo, but vigilantly controlled the ball, and then passed to the central defender Varane, and then pulled deeper into the position to receive Varane's pass.
Sure enough, Varane didn't stick to the ball and handed it to Modric, who was responsible for handling the direction of the ball next.
Benzema, the center forward at the front, hesitated for a moment and did not continue to press forward, because he remembered the explanation of head coach Benitez before the game, and in the first fifteen minutes of the game, try to focus on defense.
So for the rest of the period, Valencia dominated the tempo of the game, while the Real Madrid superstars defended in their own half.
Even the priceless attacking duo 'BBC' defended according to Benitez's pre-match arrangement, even if they didn't like the current defensive task.
It was only because they took into account the overall interests of the team, coupled with Valencia's strong attacking ability, that they had to play according to Benitez's pre-match arrangement.
However, Real Madrid, who played according to Benitez's pre-match plan, did not gain nothing, they did not concede a goal in the first 20 minutes at least, and the score was still 0-0
Although the score did not change, the fans at the scene were still very hardworking, roaring hoarsely.
Especially Real Madrid fans, who have been abused by Valencia for a long time, let go of their long-formed sense of superiority and accept Real Madrid, who are now playing defensive counterattacks.
They love Real Madrid, as long as they can help the team win games and win the club's tenth Champions League title, any tactics ...... Either way!
The Real Madrid commentator was also satisfied with Real Madrid's performance: "In the last 20 minutes of the game, the score is still 0:0, and our defense is very good! I believe that as long as it continues, we will definitely win the final game! ”
The biggest reason for this confidence in the Real Madrid commentators was that Real Madrid had two quick counter-attacks in the first 20 minutes of the first half and almost scored.
※※※
The players on the field performed very well, and Benitez, who was standing on the sidelines and directing the game, was much more relieved, from the nervousness at the beginning to the unusually calm now.
Ancelotti, who was not far away, frowned, although the result of the game was not unexpected, but some situations of the game made him frightened, especially Cristiano Ronaldo's long-distance run, if it wasn't for Wang Xiaolei's decisive attack to interfere with him, the current score would not be 0:0.
As the match progressed, Ancelotti's brow furrowed more and more, and deep down in his heart there were more thoughts.
In his pre-match plans, he had thought that Real Madrid would take the lead in the game.
As one of the best managers in football today, Carlo Ancelotti is very thoughtful, but this is a plan he does not want.
It's just that a lot of times, the last thing you want to see often happens in reality.
Two minutes later, in the 26th minute of the first half, Luka Modric was about to distribute the ball to David Silva, but Cristiano Ronaldo saw it and crossed the pass in advance, coincidentally rolling the ball right in front of Benzema.
Centre-back Godin rushed up immediately, ready to put Benzema to the ground and snuff out Real Madrid's quick counter-attack that was likely to form this time.
Because Real Madrid's first two quick counterattacks are still fresh in his memory, even if it costs a yellow card.
However, Benzema seemed to be aware of Godin's next choice, and instead of standing still and waiting for the ball, he ran two steps back towards the ball and pushed the ball with his back to Godin to Gareth Bale, who was plugged in on the left.
Suddenly, the Real Madrid fans in the stands erupted in huge cheers, which quickly swept the whole stadium in a very short time.
Another centre-back, Raphael Varane, rushed to Gareth Bale and tried to foul him as well, but Raphael Varane, who lacked experience in the Champions League final, was forced to wipe it out by Gareth Bale's acceleration sliding.
Then Varane, who was forced to overtake by Gareth Bale, did not dare to foul behind his back, but gritted his teeth and desperately chased back, watching Gareth Bale cross the halfway line.
But the speed of the two is not at the same level at all, so the distance between the two is getting wider and wider.
"Three to two!" The Real Madrid TV commentator was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and roared hoarsely: "This is an opportunity!" ”
In the middle and on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema swept across the green pitch at high speed, causing the biggest nuisance to Valencia's backline.
The Real Madrid fans at the scene became more and more excited as Gareth Bale's ball got closer to the goal.
As the saying goes, there are no more than three things.
The first two quick counterattacks were resolved by Varane and Wang Xiaolei, so this three-on-two quick counterattack will inevitably create goals!
Of course, there is also a trace of apprehension in their hearts, they are worried that this wave of quick counterattacks will not score.
When the time comes, it's not 'nothing more than three', but 'frequent squandering of opportunities, leading to the exhaustion of luck.'" ’
But God wasn't kidding them this time, Gareth Bale suddenly delivered a wide close-touch pass from 30 yards from the baseline, Varane couldn't react, and the ball went around Godin and Benzema and rolled towards Cristiano Ronaldo at the far end.
- Cristiano Ronaldo!!
With the shouts of Real Madrid fans and Portuguese fans at the scene, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped the ball in, and in the face of Wang Xiaolei's hasty attack, he chose to pass Wang Xiaolei, who was in excellent form.
As for what happened next, it was very simple for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Kick the ball into the goal.
