Dominate the Greenery

Chapter 364
After the score was equalized, some people in the Espanyol team began to think about how to defend. They had already begun to fear Real Madrid's offense in their hearts, just because the score was equalized now, which made them a little excited and ignored such a change in thinking for a while.

On the sidelines, Carlo's face was quite serious. He could understand the excitement of the opponent's equalizer, but he couldn't accept the tie in 10 minutes. Real Madrid didn't have the time or energy to accompany the Espanyol in the Copa del Rey. Of course, Champions cannot be left behind.

At this time, being equalized by the Espanyol can be regarded as bringing Real Mara back to normal rules. Well, the game cannot be left to you just because you played crazy.

After the re-kick-off, Real Madrid's defense line became a little more stable, and the attacking players did not retreat.

"Robert, you should go up if you should attack, don't worry." Carlo comforted Carlos, but he asked Ramos to stay behind.

Carlo's intention was to let the Real Madrid players know that the offense cannot be stopped, and the game was less than halfway through, but returning to the same starting line, although it always takes some mentality to go from leading to being equalized, but now Real Madrid has not experienced anything in these years , Four to zero behind can counterattack, not to mention that it is just trying to score a goal, the game has not lost yet!
Of course, from a long time ago, Real Madrid has determined that the defense must die. Now they are just playing according to the routine they are familiar with. They can't forget their own advantages just because this game is about the championship.

Therefore, under such circumstances, whether it was Carlos, who just lost his position and caused the opponent to counterattack successfully, or Xie Rui, who had been hesitating in his heart whether to defend, all rejoined the offensive camp at this time.

The game seems to have returned to the situation before the Espanyol team equalized the score, or in other words, apart from that goal, the situation of Real Madrid's suppression has not changed.

It was in such a situation that Real Madrid played wildly.

Especially heavy artillery like Xie Rui and Carlos.

In the 27th minute of the game, Xie Rui shot a cold arrow outside the opponent's penalty area. Elisos reacted quickly and barely blocked the football, but this time Guti followed up with a follow-up shot but was blocked by the opponent's defender.

Two minutes later, Carlos took the ball again from the corner of the penalty area. The football flew over everyone, but was rejected by the crossbar.

Even though they escaped these two deadly threats, the players of the Espanyol team felt cold and sweaty. They couldn't even pass the goal kick to advance the attack. The football will soon be intercepted by the Real Madrid players and then reorganize the attack .

However, Real Madrid was so offensive and suppressed, but they were unable to rewrite the score for a long time. Time passed slowly. After several attacks, Real Madrid seemed to have used all the available means. Although the Espanyol team had difficulties, they did not have much loss.

"Real Madrid can't do this. After halftime, after the intermission, who knows if the Espanyol will let them attack."

"Oh, so the Espanyol team has other means."

"..."

What can the Espanyol do? They can't do anything except blindly kick forward after receiving the ball. There is no way to organize an offense to pose a threat.

There is not much time left in the first half, but it is the most critical moment.

Real Madrid steal the ball as usual and advance to the hinterland of the Espanyol team. After receiving the ball from the left, Carlos made a two-to-one pass with Raul who was pulled over, and then made another pass from the bottom. Destroyed football beyond the baseline.

Real Madrid wins a corner.

"This is Real Madrid's seventh corner kick in the first half today. Except for direct free kicks, Real Madrid's strength in set kicks is really not flattering. This is also a targeted defense made by the Espanyol team. Anyway, set kicks delay time. , and make Real Madrid helpless. However, if there are too many times like this, Real Madrid can always seize the opportunity, right?"

"That's true. Although Real Madrid's ability to set the ball is poor, it doesn't mean they can't. The Espanyol's choice is easy to get angry."

"It doesn't matter whether they get angry or not. I think the Espanyol team is powerless. They have only this choice. Just like their counterattack, it's all gambling, gambling luck, and a game with Real Madrid to compete for the championship. The entire La Liga , maybe only Barcelona can show the momentum of attacking."

There is really no way. The Espanyol team also wants to attack. It can be seen when they have a chance to counterattack with a long pass, but the difference in strength lies here.

Just like now, when Real Madrid takes a corner kick, the Espanyol, except for Tamudo, and Pandiani have all returned to the penalty area. An attacking midfielder like Luis Garcia has the task of assisting in man-marking. In this way, someone has to guard against possible long-range shots from the outside of the Real Madrid players.

The corner kick competition is actually a mixed battle of strength and explosiveness. The Espanyol team has nine defensive players. No matter how bad the inside and outside are, there are six or seven people, who can guarantee that the people they follow will be able to follow?

Here, Xie Rui was the only one defending, but he didn't intend to get rid of the opponent. He stood in the penalty area honestly, very casually, and seemed to have no intention of catching the ball at all.

The corner kick Zidane took was of high quality, and the penalty area immediately boiled up, running positions, grabbing positions, messy, and man-marking was also chaotic at this moment. Although he quickly caught up with his own defensive goal, the defense After all, the players missed a beat.

Xie Rui didn't move, so the players defending him didn't move much. However, when the football flew into the penalty area, Xie Rui suddenly stepped forward and jumped up in two steps. He stretched out his hand, but only reached Xie Rui's jersey.

Xie Rui's explosive power was fully displayed in this one. He stepped and jumped up, and the football, which had a slight tendency to fall, was hit hard by him.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, including the Espanyol defender behind Xie Rui. The reason why he didn't hold back was that Xie Rui jumped up too fast. When he was heading the ball, he even looked at Xie Rui's body. Bend your legs!
Not to mention too much, it is appropriate to raise the distance by one meter in a straight line.

Nima, this is for playing basketball!

The football folded from Xie Rui's head and flew towards the near corner of the goal. The Espanyol defender standing next to the post jumped up and tried to block it. Unfortunately, his take-off height was not high enough for him to hit the crossbar, even if there was another football in the middle .

A blind spot can be regarded as an absolute dead spot. Anyway, Elisos didn't have time to react. Of course, even if he reacted, he couldn't touch the football. It was too far away.

It wasn't until the referee blew the whistle that the Espanyol defender in front of the goal looked blankly and astonished at the boy in white who had rushed towards the stands.

Really young!
