Chapter 726

When Yang Huan returned to the chairman's stand of the Bernabéu Stadium, the second half of the match between the two sides had already started.

But what Yang Huan didn't expect was that at the beginning of the second half, Ancelotti's team changed the disadvantages of the first half, boldly and aggressively rushed forward, and even suppressed Southampton so hard to move.

"Wow, you guys are really fat enough!" Yang Huan sat down with a smile and joked.

If Real Madrid dared to use this tactic in the first half, it is estimated that the game is over now.

This also has something to do with Real Madrid's player lineup.

Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale, they are the kind of players who need space to be able to play a threat, which makes Real Madrid must adopt counterattack tactics in order to take advantage of these two players.

But if you press up and fight like this, Southampton simply retreats, restricts your space, and then waits for an opportunity to hit you to counterattack.

Real Madrid attacked fast and pressed tightly, and Southampton had no choice but to wait for a while.

But how can Ancelotti be a fuel-efficient lamp?

As the head coach of Real Madrid, the Italian must also know his team very well. He naturally knows his own characteristics and even made special arrangements.

Therefore, it can be clearly seen that Bielsa is also frequently commanding the players on the sidelines and adjusting his tactics as if he is facing an enemy.

But at 6 minutes into the second half, Southampton finally kept everything secret and showed its flaws.

Or it should be said that Real Madrid was pulled out of the loopholes.

Real Madrid scored at the front of Southampton's big penalty area, and even dispatched seven players, all of whom were pressed out.

But even so, the Saints' defense is still quite tightly organized.

After Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball in front, he had no choice but to bring it out and pass it back to Xavi Alonso who came up from behind.

At this moment, even the on-site commentator at the Bernabéu stadium exclaimed.

"My God, even Xabi Alonso has entered the 30-meter area, eight players are pressing up, you can see that we are bound to win this goal!"

The entire Bernabéu stadium also clearly felt this atmosphere, so the shouts can be said to be overwhelming.

As soon as Xabi Alonso came up, Real Madrid's entire frontcourt followed suit.

Organized two attacks, tried to threaten from both sides, but Southampton held both.

But at this moment, Harvey Alonso suddenly kicked the ball through.

The ball passed through Toni Kroos, and Benzema suddenly ran back from the penalty area to grab the ball before Varane.

The French striker is really good. He thought of everything at the moment of receiving the ball, as if everyone around him was in his expectation, stopped the ball, turned around, blocked Varane with his body, swung his right foot, and volleyed vigorously!

The whole process happened in an instant, almost in one go.

By the time everyone reacted, Benzema's shot had already passed Neuer's hands, almost rubbed the crossbar above the German goalkeeper, and crashed into the goal line.

A dead end, an absolute dead end!
Everyone was stunned!

After a few seconds of silence, the entire Bernabéu stadium woke up and burst into deafening cheers.

Florentino, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, was also laughing excitedly and clapping his hands vigorously.

Yang Huan was very depressed, because he never expected that the goal could still be scored!

But when encountering a team with super personal abilities like Real Madrid, who can stop them from scoring goals?
This is the majestic champion of the Champions League, the king who aims to defend the title!
Even Bielsa, who was standing on the sidelines, raised his hands helplessly, a bit like surrendering to the goal.

But anyone, any team, encountering such a goal, there is really nothing to do, isn't it?
"I told them before that this season we are behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, but in the Champions League, we have to do our best to defend the title, haha..." Florentino also looked very excited.

Both teams played at a very high level in this game, and the game process was also very dangerous and exciting.

It can be said that Real Madrid can complete a reversal, which is bound to greatly boost the morale of Real Madrid.

"Isn't there still half an hour left in this game? Look at you, you have to act like that, as if you scored the ball, as for?"

Yang Huan sat on the side, curled his lips, and said something very unpleasant.

Florentino laughed even harder, "I said, Master Huan, you can't eat too much of these sour grapes, it's bad for your health!"

After a pause, he said again: "Besides, isn't the value of a superstar reflected here?"

On this point, he was absolutely right.

To be a superstar is to have a flash beyond the scope of tactics!

It's like when Suarez faced Ramos just now, he calmly opened a gap in the penalty area and hit the goal successfully.

It's like Benzema just now, when there was no chance, he suddenly pulled in, kicked the door, and just scored into the dead corner to help Real Madrid reverse.

These are obviously beyond the limits of the head coach's tactics!
"By the way, Master Huan, how is your research on what we discussed just now?" Florentino asked expectantly.

Looking at the expression of this old fat man, it seems that the team scored a goal, and his face blossomed accordingly.

Seeing him like this, Yang Huan replied angrily, "If we win this match, I will promise you!"

When Florentino heard it, he knew it, and immediately laughed and said, "Then I'm afraid you have no chance!"

"Just wait and see!" Yang Huan was also very unconvinced.

But whether you are not convinced or not, you must affirm the strength of Real Madrid.

Regardless of Southampton's strong lineup, they will not lose against anyone, but at the Bernabeu Stadium, facing Real Madrid, Southampton is still under pressure, especially after the tragic reversal, the players are generally angry and want to quickly equalize the score.

But sometimes, the more anxious you are, the more error-prone you are.

After Benzema's goal, Southampton counterattacked vigorously, but Real Madrid simply took it back and concentrated on defending against counterattacks.

As a result, Southampton's offense failed to achieve the desired effect. Instead, it made mistakes again and again, but Real Madrid's counterattack was impressive. First, there was a very threatening header from Cristiano Ronaldo. Only Gareth Bale hit the post again.

But it is at this critical moment that the experience of the old players comes into play.

When the surrounding teammates were obviously hot-headed, Ibrahimovic and Kaka kept calling on their teammates to calm down. Even Drogba, who was sitting on the bench, was warming up on the sidelines. When he was warming up, he grabbed the impatient Suarez and kept shouting to calm down.

Bielsa also quickly made substitution adjustments, directly replacing Modric with Matic.

This is a very rare Argentine lunatic, a defensive substitution.

After Matic played, Southampton's midfielder obviously had a double barrier. The first layer was Kaka and Toni Kroos who retreated. Matic firmly controlled a large area at the front of the team's defense.

But for the old players, Bielsa didn't move a single one, which shows that he attaches great importance to the old players.

It was this substitution that allowed Southampton to regain stability.

Especially Matic's playing, well controlled and covered a large area at the front of the defense, coupled with the oppression and pressing of the entire midfield, it made it difficult for Real Madrid to effectively pass the ball into Southampton's threat area.

And the defense is stable, no longer worrying about the opponent's threatening counterattack, and the offensive players in the frontcourt have become bolder, so the offense has begun to improve.

Although Real Madrid was also aware of Southampton's transformation, they did not make any adjustments.

In other words, in the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, Real Madrid is no longer willing to make adjustments, but wants to eat their opponents in one bite.

But it was in this situation that Real Madrid gave Southampton a chance.

A long pass from the backcourt from Harvey Alonso landed precisely at the front of Southampton's penalty area.

But this time, it was no longer Toni Kroos who competed for the header with Cristiano Ronaldo, but Matic, who was tall and strong, and was not at all afraid to compete with the Portuguese one-on-one.

Both of them jumped high and their bodies collided firmly, but Matic headed the ball back to the midfield, but the Portuguese was directly squeezed to the ground, trying to get a penalty kick, but the referee didn't even look at him.

The ball landed not far away, Kaka kept raising his head, predicting where the ball would land, then rubbed against the ball, and came up with an alley-oop, hitting behind him.

Ibrahimovic firmly suppressed Pepe behind him with his body, and stopped Kaka's pass with his chest.

The strong physical advantage of the Swedish center was reflected at this time. After suppressing Pepe, he stopped the ball, turned around, and passed behind with his right foot. Pepe was behind Ibrahimovic. There was nothing he could do about him.

The ball passed behind Pepe, and Sanchezton on the right of Southampton threw away Marcelo like a bolt of lightning, and rushed straight towards Real Madrid's goal.

Ramos has always been behind Pepe to help defend, and he has already reacted and caught up quickly.

A large area of ​​the court saw the two competing for speed.

In the end, Sanchez got ahead of Ramos and stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area.

When Sanchez stopped suddenly, Ramos rushed a little too far, but the Spanish central defender reacted quickly, followed by a sudden brake, and rushed forward again, while also guarding Sanchez's left foot.

But Sanchez seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and he dunked the ball to the right, just past Ramos who rushed forward, and rubbed his right foot against the ball.

This shot from the front of the penalty area is not strong, the arc is not strong, and even the speed of the ball is not very good, but it can't hold up Diego Lopez's position!

Real Madrid's goalkeeper originally defended Sanchez single-handedly, and even stood near the penalty spot. Although he retreated to the front of the small penalty area, he still failed to block the rubbing shot.

The ball passed over his head, fell, and hit the goal line!

Two to two!
The entire Bernabéu stadium became silent again!

I saw Sanchez waving his arms in excitement and running backwards out of the court.

The teammates wearing Southampton jerseys rushed forward frantically and hugged the Chilean winger tightly.

This goal is really wonderful, it is speechless!
Whether it's from Matic's header clearance, to Kaka's alley-oop, to Ibrahimovic's use of his body to suppress Pepe's turn and pass, or the final Sanchez's handling, they are all quite delicate, fully reflecting the extraordinary strength of the Southampton players.

I believe everyone present will have a feeling that Southampton is using this goal to tell everyone that Real Madrid is indeed star-studded, but our Southampton is not bad either!
Compared with strength, we Southampton will not lose to any team!
Including you, Real Madrid!
