Chapter 31: Applause at the Bernabeu
"It's a shame!! Great shame! β
Locker room.
Mourinho was not hysterical and did not lash out.
He calmly described what happened in the first half.
Yes, that's a shame.
None of the Real Madrid stars have argued against that.
"I just want to remind you that we only have forty-five minutes left to wash away the shame!" Mourinho said: "If you still play like you did in the second half of the first half... It's a fool's dream to win this game! β
"We need to be patient, gentlemen!"
Harvey. Alonso said.
Cristiano. Ronaldo's face changed slightly, he knew that Xavi. Alonso said this to himself, but he did not refute it.
Because Harvey. Alonso has a lot of prestige in the dressing room, and he is still a Spaniard, Cristiano. Ronaldo didn't want to offend him.
Mourinho was actually a little unhappy in his heart, he was scolded by Xavi when he spoke. Alonso interrupted, but he didn't have a seizure either.
Real Madrid's dressing room is perhaps the most complex in the world.
It's full of factions and small groups, and the first thing you have to learn as a manager of Real Madrid is not to eliminate factions and small groups β because this is something that no one can do, but to find a balance between these groups and factions so that everyone's power develops in a positive direction for the team.
Mourinho looked at Arbeloa: "Alvaro, I need to replace you in the second half. β
Arbeloa was slightly stunned, but Mourinho was not asking for his opinion, but made a decision.
'Karim, you came on as a substitute for Alvaro in the second half. Mourinho looked at Benzema and said, "You have a wider range of activities and are more involved in the tandem up front. β
Benzema is a very good "wingman center" with a strong ability to respond.
......
Both sides returned to the pitch in the second half.
Real Madrid's substitution immediately attracted attention.
"Replace a defender, replace a striker, Real Madrid, who are two goals behind, will fight hard!"
"Can you withstand it in the second half?"
"There's no way to stand it, but even if Malaga loses, Ye Luo doesn't lose!"
The fans of the Dragon Kingdom have added the three-dimensional defense buff of "I Luo didn't lose" to Ye Luo.
Of course, everyone still hopes that Malaga can win the game.
But it backfired.
After replacing Benzema, Real Madrid's attacking chaos really changed dramatically.
And the effect was quickly received.
Fifty-eighth minute of the game.
After thirteen minutes of second half, Arnault's goal was finally lost.
Benzema took the ball with his back in the box and did it back to Cristiano. Ronaldo created a very comfortable shot on goal.
And Ronaldo did not live up to his teammates' ball, volleyed with his right foot, and the football jumped into the goal from the dead corner!
One to two!
Real Madrid pulled a goal back!!
The balance of victory and defeat began to tip in Real Madrid's favor.
Real Madrid, who scored a goal, were demoralized and their attacks became more violent.
And Yelo also had to come back from the front court to participate in the defense.
The entire direction of Malaga is like a hit by a huge tsunami.
It can be broken by the raging waves at any time.
In the 68th minute of the game, Xavi. Alonso receives the ball on the edge of the box and shoots with his feet!
Yelo came from behind the flank, raised his foot to block the ball off the touchline and defused the crisis - even he shrank into this position to defend, which shows how much pressure MΓ‘laga's defense is.
After defusing the crisis.
Ye Luo took the opportunity to rest on the ground, took a few deep breaths, and quickly got up and threw himself into the battle.
"Real Madrid's attack is wave after wave, and Malaga's defense is shaky!"
"Real Madrid's goal doesn't seem to be far off!"
The commentators said one after another.
The minutes and seconds of the game passed.
By the eighty-first minute of the game.
MΓ‘laga's backline was finally ripped open under intense pressure.
Cristiano Ronaldo shot when the ball hit the centre-back Ivan. On Gonzalez's arm, the referee blew the whistle for the first time, penalty!!
"Penalty! Real Madrid won a penalty! β
"This could be a game-changer for the game!"
"The football did hit Gonzalez's arm... However, whether it is enough to award a penalty may become the focus of discussion after the game. β
In any case, the penalty will not change once it has been awarded β there is no VAR now.
So before the penalty spot, Ronaldo scored twice to help Real Madrid equalize.
The goal ignited excitement at the Santiago Bernabeu and the Real Madrid fans cheered excitedly in anticipation of the third goal.
The whole stadium is like a boiling crater.
Malaga was in the middle of it, as if it had been swallowed up by the scorching magma.
Ye Luo was already drenched in sweat.
There are still ten minutes or so to go....
Ye Luo took a deep breath, his physical strength was actually about to reach its limit.
And... He's pretty sure if he can't respond on the offensive end.
Then it is impossible for the defense line of Malaga to withstand this furious attack.
And to respond on the offensive end... Ye Luo can only rely on himself.
As the game resumed, facing Real Madrid's aggressive forward pressing.
Ivan. Gonzalez could only lift the ball forward with a big foot.
And Real Madrid won the ball at the back and quickly passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo on the wing.
As soon as Ronaldo received the ball, he heard a loud reminder from his teammates.
But before he could react, he saw a player from Malaga sliding in his hand!
"Yelo's tackle!"
There was an exclamation from the stands!
"Beautiful!" Duan Xuan was shouting, "Ye Luo broke the ball from Ronaldo's feet, this is a tackle to keep the ball, the shovel is clean and neat!" β
Ye Luo suddenly got up from the ground and rushed forward with the ball.
He doesn't have the idea of cooperating with his teammates now, because his teammates can't rush now, and Ye Luo, who doesn't have a defensive task, can have time to recover his strength.
Almost as soon as Ye Luo got the ball.
Marcelo, who was behind Ronaldo, immediately stabbed diagonally, and his shoulder slammed into Yelo.
Ye Luo gritted his teeth and Marcelo came to a physical collision, his body staggered, and after staggering a few times, he took the lead in regaining his balance and continued to carry the ball forward!
Hasten! Hasten! Hasten!
Another man was killed on the other side.
It was Real Madrid's midfield conductor Light Xavi. Alonso.
He had wanted to take advantage of Yelo's confrontation with Marcelo and snatch the ball from under his feet to attack again.
But Ye Luo's return to balance so quickly was also beyond his expectations.
Harvey. Alonso was ready to fight and retreat, waiting for reinforcements.
However, Yelo did not give him a chance, but went straight forward, forcing Alonso to make defensive moves, and Alonso did not kick, but prepared to go up.
But just as he took a step forward, Ye Luo suddenly stepped on the ball, stopped sharply, and then suddenly accelerated.
It was a change of pace that Alonso couldn't keep up with.
By the time he could react, Ye Luo had already rushed over...
The next opponent.
No!
It should be the next two opponents...
It's Khedira and Pepe!
The two were ready to close the door for defense at the first time, but Ye Luo flicked the football with his left and right feet, made a quick croquette in the high-speed advance, and then passed between the two.
Pepe gets started as soon as possible and pulls people!
Ye Luo's swinging arm slammed into his wrist!
"Ye Luo!! It's gone again!! β
In the midst of the narrator's exclamation.
Ramos had already rushed up quickly, and when he lowered his center of gravity and prepared to prevent Ye Luo's breakthrough, his eyes couldn't help but suffocate!
I saw that Yelo was already adjusting his pace when he passed between Khedira and Pepe.
He's going to shoot?!
Ramos was shocked!
He really didn't expect Ye Luo to make this choice.
In fact, it was thirty meters away from the goal!
Shots from this distance don't seem like wise.
But Ye Luo shot very resolutely.
In fact, when he passed between Khedira and Pepe, he saw Ramos attacking... And Casillas behind him!
Casillas was also ready to attack, because he judged that Yelo might use his speed to attack Ramos, and if Ramos was passed, he would be able to block the angle of Yelo's breakthrough and shot as soon as possible.
However, Yelo observed his opponent's actions while dribbling the ball, so he made a bold decision.
Direct shot!!
Bang!!
Soccer ball takes to the skies.
Flying past Ramos, he turned to look, only to see Casillas soaring into the air, swooping upwards... The ball slid past the tips of his fingers and crashed into the net behind him.
Ye Luo spread his arms and flew on the court!
He did it!
The excitement that followed the goal swept away all the fatigue.
The players from Malaga rushed from the back with excitement.
At this moment.
In the corner flag area.
Ye Luo is the only focus.
The Bernabeu was silent.
Syllable.
Bang bang bang...
I don't know if it was the grandstand that started first.
In a word.
The applause quickly resounded throughout the stadium.
"The fans are applauding! The fans at the Bernabeu are giving a standing ovation!! β
