Chapter 183 The Turning Point

After Real Madrid scored, Schuster stood up on the bench and applauded.Although this goal is not beautiful, but the personal ability and the overall strength of the team are perfectly displayed. Gago, the core midfielder, used a kind of organization and scheduling that is most suitable for the current Real Madrid.

Sure enough, Gago, who found the feeling, continued to use his own pass to mobilize the players on the field.Robben and Robinho on the two wings are different from their familiarity, so they give different balls.The pass to Robben generally has a lot of freedom. Let him attack Sevilla's defense alone. After all, his strength lies there, and his cooperation with the team is average. This is the best s Choice.

But after all, it has only been less than a month since he joined the team, and Robben's pass from the wing could not reach a good tacit understanding with the striker.And if he cuts inside and hits the goal, it is a bit reluctant to face the entire Sevilla defense line, but Robinho's side is completely open.

After all, Robben is the only newcomer in the midfield. The rest of the players came under Capello last season and are very familiar with quick counterattacks.Midfielder Gago divides the ball, divides the side or passes through, and then depending on the situation, the forward hits the goal or passes the ball again.

After slowing down the onslaught of Sevilla in the opening period, the dominant Real Madrid began to look up under Gago's organization.Both wingers are world-class players, figures who can get rid of defenders on their own.If two opponents go up to defend, then the striker will have more room to move. Both Van Nistelrooy and Raul are the kind of opportunists who can send the ball into the goal as soon as there is a gap.

This is how the second goal came about. Gago went forward and then split the side. He tore apart the defense line of the opponent, received a return pass from Robbie, and then directly stuffed it into the penalty area. Today Raul is in a hot state. Catches the ball and turns around to volley.The ball hits the inside of the post and bounces into the net.

"Raul... scored twice, and Gago made a precise through pass. Although Real Madrid did not perform well in the warm-up match, they showed superior strength after the start of the official game. Sevilla, which was evenly matched with Real Madrid, was easily beaten through."

"For Raul, we don't know how many times we have praised him. Even in the dark years without a championship, he was able to win our praise with his perseverance. But when he scored, I still want to Praise him, behind his persistence, the harvest finally came before his eyes."

After scoring the goal, Raul kissed his ring, the action was so noble and perfect, this is the captain of the White Army.

The Real Madrid fans who came with the team cheered. No matter what, Raul is always the fans' favorite Real Madrid player, because he represents Real Madrid.

Juande's face changed a bit at this time. Before the game, he thought it should be a very easy game. His team would beat Real Madrid at home, and then beat Real Madrid again in the second round at the Bernabeu to win the first place in club history. A Super Bowl champion.

But the development on the field was a bit beyond his expectation. The proud team he built failed to penetrate Real Madrid's impromptu defense line, but was pierced by the opponent's two counterattacks.

"Why it is like this?"

Before the end of the first half, Juand stood on the sidelines thinking about this question, but he never figured it out.During the intermission, he simply put aside this problem and made a tactic for the team to attack with all his strength in the second half.At this time, he can only do so. If he still loses at home, then the away trip to the Bernabeu will be even more ominous.

However, this tactic brought excitement to all home fans in the second half.At the beginning of the game, Cannavaro made a mistake defending Renato. The latter used the gap to pass the ball to Duda, and Pepe had to put him from behind.

This is the turning point of this game!

The referee came directly to give a penalty, and took out a red card to send Pepe off the field.

"Penalty kick, red card, is this penalty too serious? Let's see in slow motion. Pepe's action is indeed suspected of fouling, but Duda's reaction is too intense, and the possibility of flopping is very high. .”

This is the commentator of the pro-Real Madrid side. Real Madrid doesn't care about the penalty kick, but Pepe's red card is too serious.Real Madrid, who is fighting with one less person, will definitely not be able to beat the imposing Sevilla in the next time.

Fabiano took the penalty. Facing Iker Casillas, he didn't play any tricks, and directly ran up and shot vigorously.The speed of the ball was so fast that Cassie slowed down a beat.

1: 2!

Sevilla pulled back a goal and hit one more player, and the situation instantly tilted towards them.

"Do you want to retract?"

Gago glanced at Schuster on the coach's bench. Under such circumstances, it is the best choice to keep a one-goal lead. Even if they are equalized by the opponent in the end, it will be Real Madrid's profit. Two away goals can make them win Bernabeu played more easily.

Schuster thought about it and made a substitution. Metzelder came on and replaced Van Nistelrooy.

It is a wise choice to remove a striker and replace it with a central defender, and Ruud van Nistelrooy has no problem with it.He is a veteran, and he has seen all kinds of storms.Moreover, Raul was in a hot state in this game, and there was a possibility of a hat-trick, but he was a little quiet. It is normal to replace him.

After shaking hands with Metzelder, Real Madrid fans cheered Ruud van Nistelrooy.After the king of the small penalty area won the top scorer in La Liga and the European Golden Boot with 27 league goals last season, all Meilinger fell in love with this long-haired striker.Some fans who think that his peak period has passed are even more guilty. The king of the small penalty area, as long as he can still play, he can bring goals to the team.

After Metzelder came on the field, he really gave Gago the instruction of Schuster to retract his defense.

Gago nodded to understand that in the next period of time, Real Madrid, with one less man to fight, is basically unlikely to break Sevilla's goal again.

"Fortunately, the advantage in the first half is relatively large, and I hope to maintain the advantage of one goal until the end."

Gago was thinking like this, and at the same time Diarra made a recovery gesture.The black and hard Diarra began to retreat behind the midfield line, and Gago also retreated to the top of the arc in the restricted area.

"It seems that Schuster is going to end the game with a one-goal lead. Fortunately, this is not at the Bernabeu. Otherwise, Schuster would never dare to use tactics that are not offensive."

The commentator of Sevilla dutifully teased the head coach of Real Madrid at this time to show his identity as the home court.

The next half was Sevilla's offensive demonstration. Alves, who had lost his scruples, directly regarded himself as a full-back.His offense on the wing constantly created opportunities for the team. Robben and Robinho contributed almost nothing when defending.Only relying on Gago and Diarra gradually became unstoppable, while the teenager Torres could only be said to be mediocre, facing Alves, the battle-hardened warrior, obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Finally, in the No.80 minute, Real Madrid's goal fell again. After Alves broke through from the wing, he kicked the ball into the penalty area with a cross.Canoute reached the first point in front of Metzelder, and ferryed to the front point. Renato, who was plugged in, shot the ball directly into the goal.

Casey couldn't do anything about the close kick.

2:2 level!
"Sevilla equalized the score. This is really a pity news. I have no motivation at all, but there is still time. I hope Real Madrid can create a miracle."

After equalizing the score, Sevilla was very happy. Their spirits suddenly rose, and they besieged Real Madrid's goal even more.

"I want you to calm down."

Gago felt that the eight or nine people in Sevilla were attacking in turn, and it didn't feel good. This situation is very likely to be reversed.

After Fabiano came to Gago's eyes, he didn't dare to break through and started to pass the ball, but Gago judged the line in advance and blocked the ball.Then he started dribbling in. As most of Sevilla's players were overwhelmed, the backcourt was very empty. Gago ran with the ball for more than ten meters before someone came to intercept him.

Although I can easily pass him, but the rare opportunity to counterattack cannot be wasted.Gago dodged the opponent's block, found a gap and passed to Robben on the right.For him from Chelsea, this counterattack routine is the most familiar.

Sure enough, on the left, "Peter Pan" took the ball and started flying. Since Alves went up to assist, his front was extremely empty.There is absolutely no obstacle to the bottom, but Robben felt that this was his chance to let the fans recognize him, so he started his performance, cutting in from the wing, facing the block of the central defender directly on the penalty area line. shoot.

The quality of this kick is good, with an erratic arc going straight to the far corner, but the Sevilla goalkeeper is very focused and flies to block the ball.

Raul wanted to make a follow-up shot, but was kicked out of the baseline early by the opponent's defender.

corner kick!

"This is probably Real Madrid's last chance. If this goal can be scored, it will be a lore."

Both Ramos and Metzelder in the backcourt came up to fight for the corner kick.

It was Arjen Robben who took the corner and his cross was of good quality.

After this kick, the penalty area immediately became a mess, crowded with people, the salty pig's hands kept pulling your clothes, touching your thighs, and even hugged you tightly.

Metzelder took advantage of his 1.9m[-] height to grab the first point, shook his head and hit the crossbar. The "bang" made the Sevilla fans break out in a cold sweat.

But they couldn't breathe a sigh of relief. Gago predicted the second point and had no time to adjust his left foot to hit the goal.

Still with a "bang", Seville's goalkeeper Palop was possessed by God at this moment. Under impossible circumstances, he flicked the ball with his fingers, and then the ball hit the post and popped out again.

Palop, who fell to the ground, quickly threw the ball under him, making Robinho, who was about to make another shot, take back his leg angrily.

This is Real Madrid's last chance. After this time, Sevilla was afraid of Real Madrid's offense and dared not press on. In the end, the first round of the Super Cup ended in a 2:2 draw.

In terms of form, Real Madrid has the advantage, and two away goals forced Sevilla to press out to attack in the next round.Facing Real Madrid, which has many good offensive players, it is not a wise choice to attack.
