Chapter 80, Five Minutes
Aaron Ramsey was sent off and Real Madrid were awarded a penalty.
The entire Emirates Stadium was completely silenced by the red card at this moment.
Real Madrid fans cheered.
Arsenal fans put their heads in their hands and looked at the pitch in disbelief.
In just a few minutes, they fell from heaven to hell!
But in reality, even with Real Madrid's penalty, Arsenal actually had the advantage.
They have one more away goal.
But, at this moment, almost no one thinks about it.
Everyone is thinking of one word: miracles!
Real Madrid are on the verge of levelling the aggregate score, and then with their current morale boom, they now have the advantage of playing one more man.
One more, what's the problem?
In front of the TV.
Many fans of the Dragon Kingdom were also dumbfounded.
Many fans who have experienced the dark situations of the national team, such as black three minutes and black five minutes, have a sense of déjà vu in their hearts.
Arsenal. It's not going to be reversed, is it?
Many people have such a sentence in their minds.
At this time, almost all the fans of the Dragon Kingdom were sweating for Ye Luo.
Arsenal fans are also aware that if they are reversed by Real Madrid, Arsenal will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever.
So.
In Cristiano. Ronaldo when he was standing at the penalty spot with the ball.
The boos from the crowd may have set a record for the largest decibel after the Emirates Stadium was built and put into use.
Shrill boos.
All eyes are on Cristiano. Ronaldo's body.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was standing at the penalty spot with the ball, was so excited that his whole body trembled.
He's going to win!
He's going to win the head-to-head conversation with Yelo!
The thought of this makes it difficult for Ronaldo to calm down.
He knew it wasn't right, because the most taboo thing to avoid before a penalty was to get too emotional.
He continued to take deep breaths, and everyone could see that Ronaldo was adjusting his emotions.
"This penalty is so important, maybe it's a turning point for a miracle, Cristiano. Ronaldo is under a lot of pressure! ”
The Spanish commentator was still excited, but he was also depressed, perhaps fearing that his excitement would affect Cristiano Ronaldo on the penalty spot.
A lot of people think it's easy.
But in fact.
Penalties may seem simple, but sometimes, they are not!
For example, now.
Under the watchful eye, a penalty at stake, this pressure is so huge.
For a professional athlete, kicking the ball into a corner from a penalty spot is as easy as drinking water without stress.
In this situation, the penalty is taken.
It's not so much a test of shooting technique as it is a test of mental stability.
It turns out.
Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty is still very solid.
He runs, shoots with his feet, and sends the ball into the bottom right corner accurately.
After completing the goal.
Ronaldo didn't celebrate, but rushed straight into the goal, fished out the football, and then turned and ran back.
The same goes for the rest of Real Madrid's players.
They really don't want to waste a second.
And on their side.
The vast majority of Arsenal's players are stunned.
They didn't expect it at all.
They had a big advantage before.
All of a sudden, it fell apart.
In just a few minutes, Arsenal seemed to have collapsed!
Is it true that Arsenal is out of the Champions League?
Many people thought desperately.
Real Madrid will certainly want their opponents to stay the way they are, and in that case, they will be very likely to score goals and complete a super comeback!
But at this moment, not all Arsenal players are confused.
At least not Yelo.
Although the sudden collapse of Arsenal in the first few minutes caught Yelo a little off guard - most of the Arsenal players have never experienced this kind of big stance, so they have a mental breakdown after conceding consecutive goals.
This was something that Ye Luo had not expected.
But now Arsenal have reached the most dangerous time.
Ye Luo knew he had to do something.
In fact.
Arsenal also have a goal difference advantage and if they finish the game with the current scoreline, then Arsenal are still on the side to advance.
But Ye Luo knows very well that if he continues to defend in the future. With the mental state of the Arsenal players right now, let alone withstanding the last seven or eight minutes.
Ye Luo suspected that he might not be able to withstand it for three minutes.
He quickly found Cazorla, Walcoat, and Chamberlain.
Now the three are still suffering from conceding the ball.
As a result, Yelo woke them up.
"Hey! Hey! Wake up! If we continue like this, I guess we're going to be eliminated! Away 4-1 back home to be eliminated by the opponent, we estimate that in the future we will become a regular in all the "epic reversal" inventory! ”
Ye Luo's words made the pain of the three of them aggravate a lot.
We're not just going to lose, we're going to lose on an epic scale.
What could be more desperate?
"So we can't go on like this, first of all, we can't let them attack so recklessly!!"
The three of them finally understood.
The team hasn't been eliminated yet.
This is not the time to be bitter and sentimental.
"Is there anything you can do?"
The three of them looked at Ye Luo.
It's not just these three, they are just the three who are closer to Yelo, and the other Arsenal players are now coming to their senses, and they have all run over to look at their backbone.
Without Yelo, Arsenal would not have dreamed of the Champions League.
Finish in the top four of the Premier League, qualify for the Champions League, qualify from the group, and then be eliminated by Barcelona or Bayern.
A season of Champions League is a success.
After all, even so, Arsenal can earn at least 50 million euros from the Champions League.
This is by no means a small amount of money for Arsenal.
As for the champions
Since that unbeaten Arsenal team was eliminated by Barcelona in the Champions League final.
It's been almost a decade since the Arsenal man dreamed of winning the Champions League.
Until, the arrival of Ye Luo.
Arguably.
The addition of Ye Luo has made the Arsenal people feel those dreams of their former peak.
Seeing everyone look at themselves.
Ye Luo laid out his plan and plan.
"We have to control the ball first, I'll drop back into midfield, don't lose the ball, if you don't know where to pass the ball, pass it to me!"
Ye Luo patted his chest and said.
"Also, Chamberlain and Walcott!" Ye Luo looked at Walcoat and Chamberlain, "You are fast, you will be in the frontcourt, and if you have the opportunity, you will insert it behind them, I estimate that they will press it hard, and there will definitely be gaps in the backcourt at that time!" I'll pass you the ball then! If you press what you want, you will fight back directly! ”
Ye Luo actually can't do this.
In fact, the most important thing in his strategy is to keep the ball.
Just keep the ball at your feet.
Real Madrid couldn't attack.
As for whether Arsenal can score goals themselves, it is not the most important thing - it is good to be able to score, but more importantly, it is not to continue to concede goals!
Coupled with the fact that Aaron Ramsey was sent off, Arsenal's midfield must now be staffed.
Therefore, Ye Luo chose to return to the midfield and personally sit in the more critical links.
Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcourt were up front, playing a harassing role.
This plan is theoretically fine.
But everyone is worried that the possession in the central midfield will be cut off by Real Madrid's frantic pressing.
Cazorla voiced her fears.
Ye Luo waved his hand: "Everything is risky, we can't raise our hands and surrender because of this, what do we have to do, in addition, I will take the risk in the backcourt, I will take the ball more, you don't need to worry so much!" ”
The big guy saw that Ye Luo was so confident, so he no longer questioned it.
After all, at such a critical moment, Arsenal can only rely on Yelo.
Real Madrid, of course, won't give Arsenal much respite.
They have already protested to the referee and asked Arsenal to kick off as soon as possible.
So with the intervention of the referee, Arsenal's mini-club ended quickly.
They quickly drove the ball out.
At this time.
It was already the eighty-ninth minute of the game.
Just as Walcourt kicked the ball into the backfield.
The Real Madrid players couldn't wait to rush to the front.
Ronaldo, Higuain, Ramos and others came directly at Yelo.
It's like a tiger coming down a mountain.
In the face of such a battle, Ye Luo did not pass the ball.
Instead, after waiting for the other party to come up, a feint passed Ramos, and then a beating.
A foul was made.
The referee's whistle blows.
The game was interrupted again.
"Ye Luo! Pretty!! That's what Arsenal need now, they need to control the ball! ”
All the commentators were praising Yelo's handling.
"What is called a master of art and boldness!"
"At the critical moment, Ye Luo stood up!"
Real Madrid's players are also helpless about it.
Ye Luo stood up slowly.
It was this moment, and several minutes passed.
On the sidelines, the fourth official held up a sign for stoppage time.
The game is in stoppage time. Five minutes!
It's actually a normal stoppage time.
After all, there were not many injuries in this game, and the overall situation was relatively smooth.
And it turned out.
Deafening boos rang out at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal fans certainly felt that the time was too long.
Real Madrid fans are also booing.
They think there is too little stoppage time!
Again, five minutes.
The length is completely different for people with different positions.
Jose Mourinho is loudly protesting against Arsenal's delays.
He was so angry.
After all, five minutes is too short.
"Five minutes to go! Arsenal must hold on! Andy Gray said.
"Five minutes! Five minutes to go! There are only five minutes left for Real Madrid." The Spanish commentator was a little nervous.
Now in front of the TV, there are hardly many people who can sit still.
Everyone stood up and looked nervously at the court
Yelo pressed the ball at his feet unhurriedly under the fire-breathing gaze of the Real Madrid players, and then. Kick back.
