Chapter 1116 - Sensitive Foul Spots

Aillo's retreat brought a new twist to Valencia's overall attack, and Benitez, who was nervously standing on the sidelines and directing the game, quickly saw the change, but he did not give any tactical instructions because he believed that Aillo's retreat was to weaken Valencia's attack.

In his mind, the closer Iroh is to the goal, the most dangerous existence.

And with more than forty meters from the goal, what else is the threat?

As long as the team does not foul in key positions for the rest of the first half, and does not give Iroh a chance to get up comfortably around 30 meters, Benitez can ensure that the team will keep the goal until the end of the first half.

If they can go into the dressing room with a 1-0 lead over Valencia in the first half, it will be a huge incentive for the team.

You must know that in such a crucial Champions League final, the half-time lead is very obvious, and it brings great confidence to the players, especially the defensive players, who used to have a headache against Elo, and even many times were powerless, so they could only silently watch Elo show his personal learning.

But now everything is different, confident...... It can make a complete change in one person!

Thinking of this, Benitez's attention was once again on the playing field, looking at the players who had no problems with their defensive positions, secretly clenched his fists, and gave his players a call: "Come on!" Be sure to take the lead to end the first half! ”

However, the situation of the game is changing rapidly, and plans can never keep up with the changes.

Ancelotti was a catcher when Benitez ignored the threat posed by Iro's retreat, and he soon made a makeshift to his team's tactics through a pass from full-back Jordi Alba – Aelo was in the midfield position, giving up the left winger position to Isco, and James Rodriguez and Luka Modric as assistants to Iro.

You must know that this tactical change is not planned before the game, which means that it is very risky!

Looking at the change in Valencia's position, Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor, who was in the commentary seat, was very surprised, and he exclaimed: "What? Does Ai come to play the front midfield? This is a position he has never played before, is this change really appropriate? ”

Andy Gray nodded in agreement: "Martin is absolutely right, according to the normal development of the game, Ancelotti should not make changes to the team so early, because the game is still a long time before the end of the game......"

And the Real Madrid TV commentator, when he realized the change in Valencia, sarcastically said: "Oh? Did Ancelotti get his brain caught in the door? Let their total be the strongest point to play in attacking midfield? Hahaha...... I'm laughing to death, but it's not bad, anyway, they dig their own graves, and Real Madrid wins! ”

Of course, Ancelotti's adjustment is not a change of position in the pure sense, but a cover for a real change in the team.

Because whether Iello is standing on the left or right side, he will attract enough defensive attention from Real Madrid, which means that he will not get too much space to attack forward, and the position of the forward midfielder is different, and his activity space becomes larger, so whether he takes the ball forward or assists, it will pose a huge threat to Real Madrid's backline.

It's just that by the time Real Madrid really felt the threat posed by the change in position, it was clearly too late.

In the 37th minute, Ailo retreated to the 40-meter area of his own attack, and Real Madrid's double midfielder combination Xavi Alonso and Khedira did not mark Ailo in real time in order to take into account the stability of the defensive system, but handed over the defensive task to the Argentine international Di Maria who defended in the ribs and Benzema who recycled the defense.

However, Di Maria and Benzema, who are obviously more attacking in attack, can only be described as amateur in defence, and Iello simply passes the ball to James Rodriguez, who is involved in the attack, and then runs forward.

In this regard, Di Maria and Benzema, who have little defensive experience, do not know what to do next.

Time was running out, as James Rodriguez did not stop the ball at his feet, but handed the ball directly to captain Iro, who was able to get rid of the defense, and then continued to run forward to help divert the attention of the defenders.

Di Maria and Benzema, who did not form any effective defense against Eiro, had to change direction and run towards the forward Ailo and James Rodriguez respectively to help the defence.

Because they have not forgotten the pre-match arrangement of head coach Benitez, any player who enters the 40-meter defensive area must do whatever it takes to follow up.

Iroh slid forward at a very fast speed, and from a distance, it looked like a white lightning bolt speeding through the green grass.

So the Valencia fans at the scene shouted hoarsely as if they had been doped, cheering for Iro.

Seeing that he was about to enter the 30-meter offensive zone, Khedira, who was protecting the defensive space, realized that he could not continue to sit still, but took two steps forward to shorten the distance between himself and Iro.

However, at this moment, Iroh made a feint with his right shoulder sinking, and the forward Khedira subconsciously moved half a step to the left, but Iroh passed the ball to Isco, who cut cross-cutting to answer, and then crossed between Khedira and Xavi Alonso.

Immediately, Isco didn't stick to the ball and continued to teleport the ball forward, aiming at the path that Iroh was on.

As a German international, Khedira immediately realized that the situation was a bit of a crisis, so he immediately continued to move to the left, grabbed Aelo's jersey with his left arm, and pulled him to the ground.

"-Beep!!"

Although Isco's pass was picked up by centre-back Sergio Ramos, Dutch referee Kupels blew the whistle because he thought that without Khedira's foul on Eiro, the latter could have driven the ball straight in, whether it was his own breakthrough shot or pass, he could pose a huge threat to Real Madrid's goal.

Therefore, the referee made an objective judgment and also gave the fouler Khedira a yellow card.

At the same time, the Real Madrid commentator also pointed out Khedira's foul: "Khedira's foul is really timely, if the reaction is full of half a shot, then this defense will be very difficult......

However, as soon as the words fell, he realized that the situation was not right, because he saw from the screen that Iroh who had fallen to the ground did not feel any dissatisfaction after getting up, but took the football and placed it at the place of the foul.

Soon, he realized that the place of the foul was very sensitive.

Then the distance given by the broadcaster made the pro-Real Madrid commentators feel even more empty - the straight-line distance from the goal was 31 meters.

The foul was committed right in front of the left-hand post, which is perfect for a right-footed player to take a free-kick......
