Chapter 69: Pepe's Scalp

"Yelo. Ye Luo!! Andy Gray's voice became high-pitched, "Yelo! Yelo scores! At the beginning of the second half, against the backdrop of Real Madrid's heavy pressure, Arsenal played a beautiful quick counterattack, Giroud's header was ferried, Cazorla went straight, and Yelo broke through the defense and sent the ball into Real Madrid's goal! Listen, listen to the current Bernabeu! He was so silent! ”

Yes.

The bustle of the Bernabeu fell silent.

All the Real Madrid fans watched in amazement as they watched the football in their goal.

They are confident that as long as Real Madrid press out to attack, they can crush any team.

They are expecting a goal from Real Madrid.

But these images they were expecting did not appear, and what they were waiting for was a counterattack from Arsenal!!

In the silence, Yelo once again celebrated in the stadium.

It was a sight for Real Madrid fans, who they had seen celebrating his goal here last season.

Could it be said.

Is he Real Madrid's nemesis?

Some pessimistic Real Madrid fans have such a thought in their hearts.

"Marcelo's transfer error! This ruined the team's good situation!! His pass was cut off straight from it! ”

The Spanish commentator is criticizing Marcelo.

This time the goal was conceded by Marcelo's mistake in moving the ball.

He was too confident and moved directly and widely without stopping the ball, and it turned out that this was the opportunity that people were waiting for.

And when Ye Luo's speed is fully exerted.

The Spanish commentators know that too. There is hardly any direction in which this can be guarded

Can you blame goalkeeper López for conceding such a goal?

That's when it happened.

The televised footage switched to Casillas' face, who was sitting on the bench.

In close-ups.

Casillas was wearing a white Real Madrid sports jacket with a windbreaker on his head, which was pulled down to cover the area above his eyebrows, and his eyes did not look at the pitch, but with his hands on his chest, curled up in his seat with his head down.

No one could see his specific expression now.

Perhaps the language of the live broadcast was questioning Mourinho.

How much harm will it do to the interests of the team by putting Casillas in the cold?

If Casillas is here, can he block Yelo's single blade?

Sure enough, the camera was written for Casillaste.

It was Jose Mourinho again.

Under the gaze of the lens.

Mourinho's brows furrowed, his mouth squirming slightly, as if complaining about something.

However, he did not give any new tactical instructions. 、

If Real Madrid's previous big press on the attack was a little cautious self-inflicted by the players.

So now it comes.

Real Madrid have no way out and they have to press hard to score goals.

Because they have already given Arsenal an away goal.

The Spanish commentator was encouraging the Real Madrid fans in front of the TV.

"Arsenal's goal was a bit of a bit of luck, but before that Real Madrid's attack was inspiring enough, it was just a conceded goal, as long as you adjust your mentality, the equaliser is not a problem."

But after the game restarted.

The performances of Real Madrid's players also proved the point of view of the Spanish commentators.

The goal did not immediately send the Real Madrid players into chaos.

They're not just a cat or dog team, they're Real Madrid.

If Real Madrid panics, doesn't know what to do, and messes up because of a goal.

Then they don't deserve the title of the world's number one giant.

Arsenal, on the other hand, were not so conservative after scoring their first goal, and they began to push up the formation and fight Real Madrid in midfield.

The scene became very lively.

After the first goal, the dynamics of the game changed dramatically, and both sides started to be less conservative than they were when they were 0-0.

Real Madrid were desperate for an equaliser.

Arsenal, for their part, are worried that defending too low will allow Real Madrid to play the momentum of the attack. Therefore, they also have to pursue a certain level of attack to suppress Real Madrid's attacking frenzy.

The lively scene first made the fans who stayed up late to watch the football outside Europe very excited.

After all, no one wants to see the dull and boring scene of the first half.

In front of the TV, the excited voices of the Spanish fans made all the Real Madrid supporters clench their fists.

"Arsenal even pressed it out! How dare they press it out at the Bernabeu! This is definitely not a good choice, you know, what this Real Madrid team is best at is seizing the fast attack opportunity of attacking and defending the switch! As long as they have such an opportunity, they will never show mercy! ”

Andy Gray was indeed a little worried.

'It's debatable whether Arsenal and Real Mara, who are at the Bernabeu, are playing against each other in a rhythmic way. They now have a one-goal lead, and they can completely shrink the defense and keep that advantage, so why risk it? ”

The Arsenal players on the pitch will not hear the doubts from the commentators.

Press it out and disrupt Real Madrid's attacking rhythm with an attack.

It was a decision made by the captain of the field, Ye Luo.

Yelo is the absolute heart of the team and he has a lot of authority in the game.

For example, depending on the situation on the pitch, he can make decisions without the approval of Professor Wenger on the sidelines.

The "head coach" who is now commanding on the field is Ye Luo.

Anyway, for Arsenal, the secret of their victory is to let Yelo's ability be used as freely as possible.

Arsene Wenger on the sidelines was also a little skeptical.

But when he saw that after Arsenal pressed the attack, Real Madrid's attacking rhythm was disrupted, and even the back line seemed chaotic for a while, he was relieved.

"This guy always seems to be so calm, he always has insight into the big picture!"

Arsene Wenger said to his assistant Blake.

He sat in the dugout and felt extremely relaxed.

Why do many coaches shout and direct their players from the sidelines?

Because the authorities are confused.

On the pitch, the players don't have a comprehensive perspective, so sometimes they can't make an accurate judgment about the overall situation.

That's when the manager has to make a point on the sidelines.

But now at Arsenal.

The role in charge of "on-the-spot command" is not Arsene Wenger, but Yelo.

Even on the pitch, he seems to see the big picture.

This ability is simply terrifying.

"I doubt he'll even be able to play until he's fifty," Blake complained.

"When he gets older, come back and play in midfield, as long as he can run, he is an absolute top first-class midfielder!"

Wenger shook his head: "He's only twenty years old"

While the two were talking, Arsenal completed the ball in midfield.

The ball passes forward quickly.

Giroud dropped back to receive the ball, turned and played the ball forward to the feet of Yelo, before running forward to meet it himself.

Yelo received the ball with his back to the attack, felt the pressure of Ramos behind him, and did not force Ramos to go, because it was very likely to be fouled, resulting in a missed opportunity for this fast break.

He kicked the ball straight back to Giroud, who had stepped in to pick it up.

Giroud bounced the ball on the outside of his foot and the ball was laid diagonally to Monreal along the flank, before he himself ran towards the box.

And Ye Luo ran back.

The two completed a crossover run.

Ye Luo also completed the turn and faced the direction of the attack.

After receiving the ball, Monreal quickly knocked the ball horizontally to Yelo, who retreated and turned over.

Instead of receiving the ball, Yelo made a one-two move to match Monreal, who was already running forward after the pass.

So Khedira, who was in front of Yelo, chose to take two steps back, intending to be able to keep up with the rhythm when Yelo stepped forward.

As a result, when the football came, Ye Luo just dangled a shot, let the ball come over, and then pushed it directly in the direction of the middle.

Then he thrust into the space on the other side of Khedira.

The ball was given to Olivier Giroud at the edge of the box.

This time Giroud did a good job of being a bridgehead up front.

He arched his foot to the side as soon as Yelo pushed the ball over.

The ball speed was not fast, just when Ye Luo rushed up, it was on the route that Ye Luo cut in front.

And in the process, Ye Luo has already begun to look up to observe the goalkeeper's position.

Real Madrid's players are shrinking into the middle to defend Yelo's breakthrough.

Originally, Ye Luo also planned to take the ball directly into the penalty area.

But Giroud was so comfortable with the ball that he barely needed to adjust to shoot.

In addition, there are a lot of people in the penalty area, and entering the penalty area may not be as threatening as shooting a kick on the periphery.

So Ye Luo made a quick decision, changed his attention to breaking into the penalty area with the ball, and chose to open the bow to build.

"Watch out for his breakthrough!"

When Olivier Giroud was making the ball rack.

Ramos instinctively reminded Pepe.

Pepe instinctively took a step back when he heard Ramos say this.

And that's where the hell comes in.

He realized something was wrong when he saw Ye Luo raise his right foot, and he was ready to take a step forward again.

Bang!

Football has taken to the skies!

Pepe subconsciously stretched out his head to block the shot line, but he was still a step too late.

His outstretched head only rubbed slightly against the ball.

Instead of changing the direction of the ball's flight, the ball, which had barely rotated, suddenly spun violently in the opposite direction because of a rub on his scalp.

This causes the line of the football to fly in the air to be more erratic - this is Pepe, if you change someone with hair, you really can't rub this effect.

So when he turned his head to look back.

What I saw was Diego. López's life-time leap, like a stretching save of a fish jumping out of the water, has also crashed into the ball of the net
