Chapter 55: Time Left for Arsenal... Not much.

"The first half was over, neither side scored, Arsenal drew 0-0 at home to Real Madrid!!"

'The draw is bad for Arsenal because it's their home stadium and it looks like Arsene Wenger should have something to do at half-time.

Arsene Wenger certainly knows that.

The result at home is too important.

No team that goes to the Bernabeu Stadium can say that they will win against Real Madrid.

Therefore, if Real Madrid cannot be won at home, it will be very difficult for Arsenal to qualify.

'All right, lads, let's keep our heads up, we played too conservative in the first half, we need to be a little more proactive in the second half, we have to score first. In the second half, our full-backs were a little more daring to press for the assists, but once the assists were complete, they had to be quick to get back to the defense. ”

Although it is said to attack.

But Wenger didn't dare to really take a gamble.

Because if you let Real Madrid score.

That would be even worse.

The other side.

Away team dressing room at the Emirates Stadium.

Carlo Ancelotti praised the performance of the Real Madrid players.

Away from home, take away a draw.

Ancelotti will be satisfied.

And he knows exactly what Arsene Wenger will do in the second half.

If Arsenal don't want to waste their chance to beat Real Madrid at home.

Then the second half was a necessary attack.

'Arsenal definitely stepped up in the second half because they didn't score in the first half and they even wanted to play our counter-attack.

The other Real Madrid players also laughed when they heard this.

Although it is said that they did not press out to attack.

But at least there was no loss.

And the manager looked confident that Arsenal's reaction was exactly what Carlo Ancelotti had expected.

This convinced Real Madrid's players to Ancelotti's judgment.

They felt that Ancelotti's methods were clever.

Arsenal were toyed with by them.

And Real Madrid's players are really too jealous of Ye Luoco.

This guy was in Malaga when he was there.

Almost every time you meet Real Madrid, you will explode!

As a result, they are also willing to temporarily shrink their defence at the Emirates Stadium to avoid their edges.

Wait until we get back to our home stadium and then pack them up!

I laughed when I saw everyone.

Ancelotti continued.

"I have to remind everyone to be very, very attentive to Yelo, no matter where he is, to make sure that he has at least two players to defend at all times!!"

"Don't let him face the goal head-on, if he can't, he will be fouled, of course, pay attention to the location and scale of the foul, don't give them a free kick opportunity that directly threatens the goal, and don't take the cards lightly."

Messi is in his own home, sitting on the couch and watching the TV.

The TV was showing some of the best footage of the half-half match between Arsenal and Real Madrid, and it was playing back and forth, and it was also those boring shots.

Messi closed his eyes and closed his eyes. Waiting for the start of the second half.

Barcelona's signing was not so good.

They were drawn against AC Milan.

However, the Barcelona game is played tomorrow.

So now Messi still has the leisure to pay attention to the game of his two opponents.

Chris Deno. Both Ronaldo and Yelo are rivals to Messi.

Especially Yelo.

Yelo's tally in the Champions League is now 14.

What about Messi?

Got 10!

Such goal stats.

In the past, they were able to compete for the top scorer of the season.

And now it's just a matter of just over the group stage.

And Cristiano Ronaldo also scored nine goals in the group stage.

Three shooters threw the other players far away.

Messi is actually very concerned about the gap between himself and Yelo.

Messi is confident that he is the best in the world.

But after Yelo appeared.

Messi doesn't seem to have much confidence.

Even against Cristiano Ronaldo before.

Messi's confidence is strong.

He admitted that Cristiano was an opponent.

But he didn't think the other side could beat him.

However, Yelo is different.

On Yelo's body.

Messi really felt threatened.

So after seeing that both sides didn't score in the first half.

Messi breathed a sigh of relief for the first time.

Of course, you can't let your teammates know about it.

Because he's Messi.

It's the best in the world.

How can you care about any opponent?

For Messi.

He wants the best two legs to end 0-0.

Because that means that both Cristiano. Neither Ronaldo nor Yelo got on the scoresheet.

And he can take advantage of this to pull away with Cristiano. Ronaldo's gap, while catching up with Ye Luo, and even overtaking Ye Luo!

And for Messi.

There is one more benefit to Real Madrid and Arsenal in the knockout rounds.

That is after two rounds of home and away knockout rounds.

Yelo and Cristiano. Ronaldo, after all, one person will be eliminated.

"Which of them do you think will score, Leao?"

Side.

Messi's wife, Antonella, asked suddenly.

Messi subconsciously said: "It's better not to let anyone in"

He was stunned.

Well?

What nonsense to say in your heart!

Careless.

Right now.

Antonella suddenly rolled over and got on the horse and hooked Messi's neck with both hands.

"Don't look at the two of them, you have to look at me"

"It's not as good as that."

"You come and score my goal"

Silky eyes.

Boss Mei was suddenly extremely entangled.

He wants to watch the game as well as the game.

After the start of the second half.

It was exactly as Ancelotti expected.

Arsenal did press the attack.

Yelo was more active up front, putting Real Madrid's defence under a lot of pressure.

The Real Madrid players took Carlo Ancelotti's words to heart.

It is necessary to focus on the defense of Yelo.

And with Arsenal's offensive.

Real Madrid's defence is also starting to falter.

Real Madrid's players simply didn't want to fight back.

They are single-mindedly defensive.

Anyway.

A draw they can accept.

No, Ancelotti told them.

A draw is also considered a win for them.

As long as the criteria for winning are self-made.

That's going to win at any time.

There was a difference between the two halves of the game.

The first half was a juggling of the two sides near the cautious midfield.

And the second half was a siege by Arsenal.

Real Madrid shrinks defensively.

Arsenal had a noticeably higher number of shots.

Especially after Ye Luo frequently began to try his own ball-carrying attack.

Real Madrid's defence began to get under pressure.

Due to Real Madrid's defense in the box is too dense.

Arsenal could only shoot from distance.

Ye Luo also felt tricky in the face of the dense crowd of people in the penalty area.

When almost 11 of Real Madrid's players shrank in the box.

Ye Luo really had a hard time finding room for a breakthrough.

So he also started trying to shoot from distance.

However, Casillas was in too good form for this game.

Repeatedly defused Yelo's shot through the penalty area.

During this time, Arsenal were on fire.

But the goal was delayed.

The minutes and seconds of the game passed.

It's the seventieth minute of the game.

The score on the field was still 0-0.

Some fans who stayed up late to watch the game were already yawning.

It's so boring.

Fans who were expecting a strong conversation were disappointed.

What they wanted to see was a pinnacle duel between Yelo and Ronaldo, two of the world's best strikers.

And now.

What they saw was a half-court drill.

Before the game, the media barbed the sky of this game.

What a battle for the strongest strikers.

What a head-to-head duel with the strongest offensive firepower.

The tip of the needle is on the wheat mang.

Everyone is full of anticipation.

I only found out after watching the game.

What a cheat!

Yelo can be said to have been heavily defended by Real Madrid's highest level.

No matter where he is.

They were all surrounded by a group of people.

I don't want anything else at all.

Real Madrid don't have to worry about everyone going to defend Yelo, and the rest of the defense will be empty.

Because Real Madrid is shrinking the defense.

It's all retracted.

So.

Their exclusion zone is full of people.

There simply cannot be an empty place.

Cristiano. Ronaldo is limited by Real Madrid's tactics.

Lack of counterattack.

He didn't get many opportunities to perform.

He occasionally gets the ball and goes to the Arsenal defence himself.

As a result, due to a lack of support, he was not able to pose much of a threat to Arsenal's goal.

The two top stars of both sides have so far been mediocre.

Just when many people were sleepy-eyed and almost fell asleep.

Seventy-second minute of the game.

Arsenal, won a corner.

It was their eighth corner of the game – mostly in the second half.

screen.

There was a comparison of the number of corners taken by the two sides.

Arsenal won eight corners.

And what about Real Madrid?

There was only a pitiful corner.

It can also be seen from this data.

this game.

How conservative Real Madrid are playing?

Of course.

That's what Real Madrid is all about.

They're coming for a draw.

Of course.

If Arsenal scores now, Real Madrid will certainly not be able to defend themselves.

Speaking of which.

Facts aside.

Arsenal also have a bit of a responsibility for the current situation - if they had scored, Real Madrid would certainly not have been so conservative.

Arsenal's corners are a threat.

Because they have a couple of players who are good at heading.

However, the previous few corners were not good.

Now the corner kick is given to seat B.

He looked at the situation in the penalty area.

Raise your right hand alof.

At this time, there are two central defenders, as well as Yelo, plus Olivier Giroud and Mane.

A total of five players were in the penalty area.

On the periphery there are Kanter, Wilshere, Cancelo and others.

It can be said that all the players are engaged in this corner kick attack.

This can also be seen.

Real Madrid's lack of counter-attacks during this period has put Arsenal's side under control.

Yelo is in the middle.

He is not the tallest player at Arsenal.

However, he is the Arsenal player who attracts the most defensive strength in the attack from corners.

See the movement of seat B.

Everyone immediately understood.

This ball should be sent to the front point.

Ye Luo also made a backward movement first.

The other players were also on the move, aiming to make a way for Yelo to block.

Ye Luo suddenly ran to the front point.

Face the ball.

Shake your head and hit the goal!

In the midst of the exclamations of all the fans.

Standing at the front post was Real Madrid full-back Marcelo.

Marcelo was almost instinctive.

Blocked the ball.

In the box, Ramos added a kick in shock.

The football fell to the periphery, at the feet of Di Maria!!

Di Maria didn't have time to think about it.

He looked up, then kicked the ball out.

The football flew over the midfield.

Fell at the feet of Benzema.

Benzema protects the ball, and at this time, Cristiano. Ronaldo has already advanced along the side at high speed!!

Counterattack!!

"Real Madrid's counterattack is coming!!"

The voices of the commentators suddenly rose several degrees.

Meanwhile.

Ancelotti suddenly stood up from his seat.

Eyes glued to the court.

If Mourinho has contributed to Real Madrid, then Real Madrid's quick counter-tactics must be the credit of Mourinho!

Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid

Very, very, very good at counter-attacking!

They counter-attacked very quickly.

There is Cristiano. With a super finisher like Ronaldo, Real Madrid's success rate on counter-attacks is also quite high.

Three-two-foot passes.

Football has already been passed to the front.

At the back of the moment at Arsenal.

Except for goalkeeper Szczesny.

There are only three people left.

Midfielder, N'Golo Kante.

Left-back Gibbs.

Midfielder Wilshere.

Among the three. Wilshere and Gibbs both rushed to Benzema.

Kante, on the other hand, shrunk to the ribs and kept an eye on Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.

As long as Wilshere and Gibbs can entangle Benzema, then Kante can concentrate on Ronaldo.

Just don't pass the ball out at this point.

I just thought about it.

Benzema passes the ball decisively.

As a modern centre-forward, Benzema's ability to play is strong.

That's why he was able to beat Gonzalo Higuain to become Real Madrid's starting centre-forward.

Cristiano Ronaldo is at lightning speed.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not yet fully a goalkeeper.

His speed is still there.

The ability to advance with the ball is still at the top level.

At the moment of receiving the ball, he took the opportunity to take the ball and went inside.

"Ronaldo!! Oh oh oh! Arsenal's goal is in danger, Real Madrid's chance! What a great opportunity! ”

Szczesny saw Ronaldo receive the ball as soon as he saw it, and he killed it directly.

I started to hesitate.

To attack or not to strike?

If you attack, it's still a little far away.

Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't found the box yet.

What if someone hangs halfway through?

If you don't attack.

It's impossible for you to take care of such a big goal by yourself without blocking the angle of the opponent's shot

Szczesny hesitated for a second.

And then it struck.

It's just that he's just taken a few steps.

Just see.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not yet entered the penalty area, shoots directly with his feet!

The soccer ball arcs out.

From the tips of Szczesny's fingers, who were struggling to leap up.

Go around to the back of the goal. Then it hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net......

"Ahhh The ball went in!!!! ”

"Beautiful!! Cristiano. Ronaldo !!! ”

The commentators jumped to their feet.

He shouted.

The entire Emirates Stadium suddenly became a lot quieter.

This is something that many people did not expect.

Everyone thinks that Arsenal may not be able to eliminate Real Madrid, but they are still capable of playing against them on their home turf, and the probability of scoring first is very high.

Unexpectedly, Arsenal's goal was delayed, but in the 74th minute, Real Madrid scored a goal from a counter-attack from a corner.

After trailing in the 74th minute, Arsenal had only a dozen minutes left......
