Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Light That Emerges from the Crack in the Door!
Accumulating four yellow cards, if Arsenal advances to the semi-finals, then Ye Luoke will face a yellow card suspension.
Wenger shook his head helplessly.
It's something that can't be helped.
On the pitch, anyone can get a yellow card, and Arsenal played six group games plus four knockout games, and got four yellow cards in 10 games, which is not a high percentage of cards.
This season, in particular, Yelo has a wider range of activities and risks getting a yellow card when he puts himself on defence at certain moments.
"Let's not think about that now, let's advance to the semi-finals."
Arsene Wenger said.
And after this time, Real Madrid's counterattack was destroyed by Yelo.
Arsenal at home are also starting to push in attack – thanks to Real Madrid's gradual lack of sharpness.
After the onslaught of the first half, Real Madrid's pre-match play was practically exhausted, and they had to re-brew the offensive if they wanted to continue their onslaught.
But Arsenal are aware of that, too.
Under the trade-off.
Arsenal's offensive has also begun.
The 55th minute of the game.
Cazorla crosses from the left.
Giroud was virtually unmarked in the box.
When he shot the goal, the hearts of almost all Real Madrid fans were beating dangerously fast
But alas.
Giroud's shot flew high over the crossbar.
"Olivier Giroud!! Almost! Real Madrid's defence made a big mistake and they let Giroud go empty! ”
Duan Xuan exclaimed.
But in fact, many people understand this.
Because in the penalty area, Arsenal's two attackers, Yelo and Giroud, who is the focus of the defense is self-evident.
It's just that Real Madrid just paid too much attention to Yelo, so I didn't expect Cazorla to do the opposite and choose to pass the ball to Giroud.
Fortunately.
Giroud's performance convinced Real Madrid's players that they had to continue to focus on Yelo.
And after this shot on goal.
Arsenal played a series of attacks.
A minute later.
Arsenal made a tackle in midfield and the ball was stabbed at Yelo's feet by Arteta.
Ye Luo took the ball and turned, and then flicked the outside of his left foot to pass the ball out.
The ball had just been passed out, Xavi. Alonso had already crashed into it.
If he's a little late, Harvey. Alonso will definitely not hesitate to foul, and then a quick attack conversion opportunity will turn into a positional attack, which is not a situation that Yelo wants to see.
And now, although Ye Luo has been replaced by Harvey. Alonso's bump caused him to stumble, and if he hadn't been able to get the ball out, it could have slowed down the attack. 、
But now, he's got the ball to Giroud's feet.
Giroud had his back to the ball and quickly distributed it in front of Cazorla, who was cutting forward.
Cazorla stepped forward at high speed, received Giroud's pass and didn't stop the ball, and shot directly on the line of the big penalty area!
"Cazorla!! Arsenal's attack is back. ”
In the midst of the cheers of the stadium and the exclamations of the commentators.
The soccer ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
Diego. López made a sideways save at the first time, and in the face of such a powerful volley, his save was a little too late, and the ball flew past his fingertips.
Diego. López is already in an ice cave at this moment.
No.
It was all Real Madrid players and fans, including Mourinho and others in the coach's box, who were like falling into an ice cave at this time.
The chill spread from their backs, and everyone seemed to turn into ice sculptures at this moment.
All the Real Madrid fans are praying.
Pray to God or whatever God is to save Real Madrid.
So many people prayed together.
I don't know if it's God or Buddha or the flying pasta god who made a move.
The ball that Cazorla shot slammed into the post and bounced out!
"Ahhh Column! The post denied Cazorla's shot!! ”
Andy Gray held his head in his hands, and his face was incredible!
"Columns! It is a pillar! Real Madrid escaped! ”
The Spanish narrator exclaimed, looking like he had escaped death.
Real Madrid did escape!
If this goal goes in.
Then Real Madrid is completely finished.
No one will believe that Real Madrid can turn the tables around!
Of course, even now, not many people think that Real Madrid can turn the tables around.
But there's still a long way to go, so .
Anything is possible!
"God is a Madridian tonight!!"
The commentator on Madrid TV chanted.
For Real Madrid.
To work miracles, it really takes God's favor.
Seeing Cazorla's shot turned out to be denied by the post.
Ye Luo was also a little helpless.
He patted Cazorla, who was holding his head with a regretful expression, and quickly retreated to the vicinity of the center circle.
'Arsenal also created chances to score, but they didn't take them, they squandered chances on both sides, we all said that squandering chances is punishable, but who is going to be punished now? Although there are no goals in this game so far, the game is still very good, and for Arsenal, the news of no goals is actually good news, as the game time passes by minute and second, they are getting closer and closer to advancing to the semi-finals! Andy Gray said.
The game was quickly resumed.
Cazorla's blast was the closest Arsenal have come to scoring so far.
And next.
Arsenal began to recycle the defence.
Sixty minutes have passed.
There are less than thirty minutes until the end of regular time.
For Arsenal, who have three goal differences, they have the right to defend!
As long as they don't let Real Madrid score four goals in the next game time, they win!
So in the next game time, Real Madrid still took the initiative.
They were firmly in control of the ball, and at one point possession was as high as 70%.
Jose Mourinho made a substitution in the 63rd minute.
Two people in one go.
The first was the substitution of full-back Arbeloa and the substitution of attacker Kaka in midfield.
The second was to replace Benzema and bring on Higuain.
And so it goes.
Real Madrid actually played a back three.
And among the back three is an attacking full-back, Marcelo.
Real Madrid is an all-or-nothing gamble.
However, this substitution has not yet come to Real Madrid to have an offensive impact.
The weaknesses in defence were keenly grasped by Arsenal.
Soon.
Arsenal launched an onslaught against Marcelo, forcing Real Madrid to deploy players in the area to help defence.
Arsenal made successive passes in this area, attracting defence and then creating a threat by moving wide to the weak side.
After the substitution.
Real Madrid's offensive has not been as good as before.
This makes Real Madrid's supporters simply anxious.
As the minutes ticked by, every second lost meant that they were just one second away from a humiliating elimination.
Seeing that the offensive effect was not good after the substitution, there was a problem with the defense.
Jose Mourinho was quick to patch his substitutions.
He replaced Marcelo with Raphael Varane.
Forming a back three system at the back.
With the more athletic Luka Modric and Angel Di Maria, he played the left and right wing-backs, while pushing Cristiano Ronaldo up front and Higuain to form a double centre-forward, with Kaka playing behind them as a shadow striker.
Such a big shift.
Real Madrid formed a formation of 3412.
The main thing is the simple tactic of two wings constantly smashing into the middle.
Not to mention.
The effect of such tactics was immediate.
In the 68th minute, Modric found Kaka from a cross from the wing, Kaka completed the excess, passed the ball to the feet of Higuain in the box, and Higuain's shot from the rib was saved by goalkeeper Szczesny.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Di Maria crossed directly from the right side, and Cristiano in the middle. Ronaldo leaps high and heads the ball towards the back post.
It's Modric who comes in front of the back point!
When Real Madrid fans saw Modric appear at the back post, they couldn't help but be refreshed.
"Modric!"
In the exclamation of the Spanish commentator.
Modric, who came up in front, jumped very hard, but alas.
His height and bounce are still a little worse.
If he and Cristiano. Ronaldo made a change, and he rubbed a header in front of him, thanks to Cristiano. Ronaldo's ability to bounce and head the ball into the back of the net with complete certainty was unguarded.
"Luka Modric. What a pity!! The ball is still a little taller for him! ”
Just as the narrators spoke.
Real Madrid's offensive is back.
This time it was Luka Modric's cross from the left that swept the ball down the ground and into the middle.
Kaka inserts into the box and shoots from the penalty spot, and the ball goes wide of the goal with the interference of a defender.
After Mourinho made three substitutions.
Real Madrid's offensive is back to its pre-kick-off form.
The seventy-eighth minute of the game.
Real Madrid had another chance to attack, this time with Di Maria's cross from the right flank!
The ball was touched by Higuain and changed direction and rolled towards the edge of the penalty area.
But the camera follows the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area.
Almost everyone was taken aback.
"Harvey. Alonso!!! ”
In the midst of an exclamation.
Real Madrid's midfield commander and metronome Xavi. Alonso shoots with his feet!
The soccer ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball!
Bang!
It's still a column!
But
This time.
The ball did not go off the line, but hit the post and bounced into the goal!!
Rumble!
The whole Emirates Stadium seemed to shake when it faced the ball.
A gate seems to have been blasted open by Real Madrid!
A light leaked out that made the Real Madrid players feel like a rain
