Chapter 520: Real Madrid is starting to be in a hurry

Real Madrid, who conceded two goals in a row but failed to score one, began to panic. They thought they had a big advantage but were unwittingly pulled to the same running line by the opponent, and now they are playing at home, if Arsenal score another goal in the next game, then they will have to score at least two goals in a row to have a chance, even if they draw in the end, the opponent will score more away goals than themselves.

Ancelotti let the team press up to attack at this time, and it is clear that he also knows the severity of the form, and the key is that now his two starting central defenders have received yellow cards, maybe this will become a hidden danger for himself.

Ancelotti hesitated for a moment and said to his assistant, Real Madrid's passing star former captain of the Galaxy Fleet and now Real Madrid's assistant coach Fernando Hierro said: "Fernando, let Nacho prepare to warm up" hesitated slightly, and when Hierro was about to turn around and let the players prepare, Ancelotti said again: "Forget it, let's let Daniel (Carvajal) prepare to warm up, Isco and Asir (Ilia Ramendi) are also ready to warm up." ”

Hierro turned, nodded, and continued towards the bench.

On the Arsenal side, Wenger also began to let the players warm up, the weather at the end of April was not cold, and it was in warm Spain, but Wenger still prepared early, in case it was too late to warm up if he had to make a substitution.

"Mathieu (Mathieu Flamini), Mikel (Mikel Arteta), Thomas (Thomas Rosicky) you go warm up!"

At this time, the camera also gave the camera to the warm-up area of the players on both sides.

'Carlo Ancelotti and Arsene Wenger look ready to make some changes, especially Carlo Ancelotti, whose advantage is now gone and both centre-backs are yellow carded. As a good manager, he must start to eliminate this hidden danger at this time, otherwise if there is one less person to fight, the outcome of this game against Arsenal will be really difficult to predict, but at least the balance will be tilted in Arsenal's favor. So at this time, Ancelotti asked Real Madrid's young defender Carvajal to warm up. ”

"In fact, Real Madrid's bench depth still has a lot of options at the back, such as Portuguese Coentrão, Spaniards Arbeloa and Nacho and others."

"From this aspect, you can see why Real Madrid is a top giant, while Arsenal is just a normal giant. Regardless of the starting lineup, even the bench is an absolute defeat. At least at the back, Arsenal's only option now is to rely on Vermaelen and Monreal."

Real Madrid's attack became more and more violent, and after Li Zihan scored the second goal, Arsenal was almost pressed by Real Madrid. And Arsenal also began to recycle across the board, defending Real Madrid's counterattack, leaving only one Li Zihan in the front field to counterattack.

And Real Madrid is obviously afraid of the opponent's counterattack, so the central defender Pepe who stayed in the backfield has been following Li Zihan, even when the opponent has no ball or even Real Madrid has the ball, Real Madrid's midfielder Alonso did not step forward to help the attack, he took into account his physical factors and the sharp Cheng of the opponent's counterattack, he chose to stay to help the defense, but let the midfielder partner Modric forward to attack.

The attacking midfield triangle of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Gareth Dimaria launched a ferocious attack on Arsenal's defence, with Karim Benzema also interfering with Arsenal's centre-back Koscielny in the middle.

According to Ancelotti's tactical arrangement before the game, Arsenal's biggest weakness on the defensive side is Benzema's compatriot French central defender Koscielny, in addition to the poor interception ability in the midfield.

According to the statistics of the last two seasons and the analysis of the match footage, Koscielny is almost the most unstable factor in the Arsenal defence. He often runs out of his position and is prone to giving away penalties or giving himself a red card.

Arsenal's poor defense is not actually due to the lack of hard waist in the midfield, but also due to many factors. For example, the unstable Vermaelen and Koscielny, as well as goalkeeper Szczesny.

So Benzema rushed to Koscielny, using his impact to put pressure on his compatriots, maybe the opponent can't withstand it and is easy to make mistakes.

Sure enough, in the 67th minute, Koscielny made a mistake. He followed Benzema's position, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball on the touchline, he thought it was a combination of the two, and Benzema's movement took him directly from the middle to the wing.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo cut in with the ball, looked at the open field in front of him, and shot directly with his feet.

The ball raced towards the Arsenal goal.

"Cristiano Ronaldo!!" Seeing the Portuguese kick the door, the Spanish commentator was even more doping.

But at this time, Medsat stepped up, stretched out his long legs, and blocked the ball. The ball fell to the feet of Ramsey, who was back to the attack, and Ramsey had no way to divert the ball towards the front court to launch a counterattack.

"Well done!! Medsat!! This is the advantage of long legs, and the defensive space is suddenly much larger than that of other players! ”

Cristiano Ronaldo was actually in a bit of a hurry to play this goal, Koscielny was just taken away by Benzema. There is a lot of space in front of him, he can shoot with two steps on his own, with his speed and impact, Merdesart may not be able to defend it, and even if Merdesart comes to fill in for Koscielny, Bale and Modric, who are inserted in the middle, also have good opportunities and space, but shots and passes can be selected. ”

"Cristiano Ronaldo's shot shows the whole Real Madrid mentality - in a hurry! In fact, they don't have to worry at all, although Arsenal equalized, but this is their home stadium, playing at the Bernabeu is Real Madrid's natural advantage, and in the lineup, Real Madrid is much stronger than Arsenal. Real Madrid just need to play their own ball, goals will always be scored, and in fact Arsenal's defence is already shaky. ”

Soon Bale in the middle followed, pressing behind Ramsey to snatch the ball from his opponent's feet.

Ramsey half-turned and struggled to kick the ball off the touchline for safety. Although he can kick the ball directly into the second floor of the stands directly opposite him, it will give the opponent a corner. Arsenal are not dominant in defending corners, on the contrary, corners are still the strength of the opposition. There are three central defenders, not to mention Raphael Varane, Pepe and Ramos, as well as headers such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale and centre-forward Benzema.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Wenger shouted on the pitch: "Recover, defend!!" Don't you understand? Jack, your position is too far forward, Aaron you don't protect enough in front of the defensive line, pay attention to the long shot inserted by the opponent's midfield"

While shouting, he made gestures.

On the other side, Carlo Ancelotti signaled the team not to rush, to increase the quality of the attack, and use the two sides to tear apart the opponent's backline.

This goal is indeed the lack of support from the back for the backline, although Wilshere plays as a central midfielder, but there are still a lot of defensive tasks in this game. Arsenal had played a couple of quality counter-attacks and scored a goal. Wilshere radioactively thought the teammate could be broken, and then he counter-attacked with the players up front.

The reason why the position is relatively high is to be able to support teammates in counterattacks.

Wilshire nodded and began to retreat.

Marcelo's throw-in was thrown, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Sagna and Oxlade-Chamberlain, as well as Bale, who came to respond, immediately began to press frantically.

Sagna and Oxlade-Chamberlain naturally don't want the other side to take the ball lightly and then form a new attack, while Real Madrid wants to avoid the opponent's pressing and then prepare to organize the attack.

Seeing that Marcelo, who had finished throwing the throw-in, also joined the press, Wilshere also wanted to come over and help. But Ozil gestured to him, motioning for him to come.

There were six players on both sides, and they launched a frantic press on the left side of Real Madrid and the right side of Arsenal, and finally the experienced Sagna kicked the ball towards Marcelo.

The fast ball hit Marcelo's thigh and bounced out of bounds.

Marcelo and Sagna raised their hands together, meaning that the ball was made by the other party. But the linesman was close to them, so it was clear that the ball was the last to hit Marcelo's touchline.

Linesman right away. Hold up the flag and point to Real Madrid's second half - Arsenal throw-in!

"The players on both sides are very hard, and they don't even let the opponent throw a throw-in easily!"

Marcelo shook his head with a smile and began to retreat towards the backcourt. But when he saw Sagna standing on the sidelines with the ball ready to throw it to Mesut Ozil, he immediately rushed up to block Ozil. He plans to entangle with the opponent on this throw-in, learn from the previous Arsenal, and do the same.

However, Sagna clearly did not want to have too many "emotional entanglements" with him, and Sania pointed at Ozil, signaled for him to run away from Marcelo's interference, and then passed the ball to him himself.

Mesut Ozil did Sagna's move, with Marcelo following closely.
