Chapter 1166 Two birds with one stone

When the players of Manchester City were celebrating the goal crazily, when the players of Real Madrid were stunned and dejected in front of the conceded goal... For a while, no one paid attention to Pepe who was still lying on the ground.

Even if someone caught a glimpse of him, they would probably think that he was annoyed and unwilling to get up because he lost the ball.

It wasn't until Ramos heard Pepe slapping the turf howling that he noticed his teammates.

The Portugal international was already lying on the ground at this moment, his right hand kept beating the turf, his expression was very painful, and Ramos realized... Pepe might be injured!

So he quickly made a stretcher gesture to the sidelines.

Soon Real Madrid's team doctor and stretcher team came on the field. After a preliminary examination, the team doctor announced that Pepe would not be able to persist in the next game. He must be replaced immediately, and it is hard to say whether he will miss more games.

Anyway, from the serious and anxious expression of the team doctor, the Real Madrid players can tell that Pepe's situation is not good.

So how did he get hurt?

Pepe's injury was also noted on TV, and they were quick to answer.

In the slow-motion replay of Rongguang's goal, people noticed that when Rongguang used the bull's tail to throw away Pepe for the fourth time, Pepe turned around to chase after Rongguang, but when he turned around, his right knee seemed to deform again, and then he fell to the ground and never got up again.

So everyone knew that Pepe's knee was injured by Rong Guang's shaking!

Rong Guang not only scored such a beautiful and important goal, but also injured Real Madrid's main central defender!

At No.30 two minutes, Real Madrid had to use up a substitution. In a sense, this is almost the same as they were sent off...

On Real Madrid's bench, there is only one central defender, the Argentine teenager Garay.

The young man also has some ideas about moving to Real Madrid, but he is still not trusted by the Real Madrid coach.At the beginning, Real Madrid bought him because he was young and had potential, but now it is difficult to play in Real Madrid.

Mourinho didn't trust the Argentine central defender very much, so he didn't let Garay play to replace the injured Pepe, but let Arbeloa warm up.

Arbeloa, who transferred from Liverpool to Real Madrid, was born in Real Madrid's youth training camp, and later was briefly selected for the Real Madrid first team, but there was no place for him in Real Madrid, so he went to Liverpool.After Liverpool performed well, he moved from Liverpool to Real Madrid with Alonso in the summer of 2009.

He is a versatile player in defense who can play both right back and left back.

Now with Pepe injured, Mourinho decided to pull Ramos to play central defender and let Arbeloa play right back.

※※※

On the Real Madrid side, a goal was conceded and the main central defender was injured. A cloud of cloud hung over their hearts.

If Pepe's injury is more serious, it will not only affect this game, but also the next league and the quarter-finals of the second round.

Just ten minutes ago, when Manchester City's center Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off, Real Madrid, which led by one goal, seemed to be able to see that the door to the semi-finals was slowly opening, and the situation was very good.

But now, in the blink of an eye, their good situation disappeared...

Sudden changes on the court are very common, but such ups and downs are still difficult for Real Madrid fans to accept.

Seeing Pepe being carried directly into the ambulance on a stretcher, and the Manchester City players celebrating, many Real Madrid fans in the stands couldn't help being silent.

They didn't even have the energy to hiss.

※※※

The Manchester City fans cheered, whether they were at the Bernabeu or staying in Manchester, everyone cheered after Glory's goal, and later when they found out that Pepe was injured, their cheers became even louder-Pepe was a very threatening player in Real Madrid's defense, but now Rongguang solved him with a single goal.

John Mortensen and Alan Hansen also think Pepe's injury could be worse for Real Madrid than conceding a goal...

The scene of Rong Guang knocking Pepe down was played over and over again on TV. He changed directions four times in a row, first to the right, then buckled the football to the left, and then turned the football to the right with the instep of his right foot. This was the third time he changed direction.

When Pepe wanted to forcefully turn around and come back, she sprained her knee.

During the whole process, Pepe was like a cow being led by the nose by Rong Guang, he could go wherever he wanted him to go, and he was very obedient.

"...Rong is completely playing with Pepe..." Alan Hansen said with emotion.

Before, he also criticized Rongguang's retracement defense as meaningless, but now he knows why Rongguang did this.

If he can't withdraw and pull out the opponent's defender, how can he have such a long sprint space?
Before dodging Marcelo’s collision, the man-ball split was also very exciting. Everyone went outside the court, and he was able to circle back to the court to catch up with the football, and then passed Ramos, Pepe, and Iker Casillas...

After Ibrahimovic was sent off, Rongguang's performance became more active, perhaps trying to use his outstanding performance to make up for the negative impact of Ibrahimovic's absence.

※※※

After Rong Guang's goal, some of the players on the Real Madrid bench sighed angrily, some held their heads with their hands, and some sat there dumbly without saying a word or moving.

Kaka is the third type of person.

After Real Madrid were equalized, his focus was completely off the score.He looked motionless like a wax figure, but in fact his eyes were firmly locked on Rong Guang.

For the ball just now, he saw the whole process clearly from a third-person perspective off the court.

From chasing the ball after stealing the ball, to passing the ball, wrapping around the court from outside the court, speeding up to pass Ramos, swaying Pepe, and passing Casillas... During the whole process, Rongguang's explosive power played a very important role.

This scene made him very familiar, because when he played in Sao Paulo, Rong Guang actually played like this. Some balls he accelerated so simply and rudely would become very simple.

Kaka himself, who was in Sao Paulo at the time, actually possessed such qualities. His starting speed was very fast and his explosive power was excellent.

But now, because of the groin injury, it is difficult for him to increase his speed. Even if he wants to speed up, he will not be able to do so, so when he runs with the ball, he will be overtaken by his opponent, and then he will lose the ball when he fights with his body.It was almost impossible for such a thing to happen to Kaka before.

In the past, it was difficult for him to be caught up with the ball. Even if he was accidentally caught up, his body was strong enough to withstand the collisions of the defenders and continue to take the football away.

Now, this quality has disappeared, but the glory is still well preserved.

Seeing this scene, Kaka became a little jealous...

It was the first time he was so jealous of Rong Guang.

Jealous of Rongguang's indestructible body, jealous of Rongguang's explosive power after being seriously injured...

If he can also have the same physical fitness as Rongguang, how can he sit on the bench in such an important game?
He clenched his fists so hard that his hands trembled slightly...

※※※

The game resumed after Manchester City ended their celebrations.

It can be clearly seen that Real Madrid was affected by this conceded goal. Their thinking is very inconsistent. Some people want to attack, while others want to defend.

The kicks were messy and completely disorganized.

But under normal circumstances, even if they play a little messy, they can always get through this period of time in the end, and then the team quickly unifies their thinking, or under the intervention of the head coach, they stop thinking about it and play according to the latest instructions of the head coach.

In this way, the game will return to balance.

But this time, someone doesn't want them to ride out the chaos.

Just 5 minutes after the goal, Rongguang received a pass in the frontcourt, and his back was facing the attacking direction.Under Ramos' close press, he couldn't turn around, so he passed the football to Sneijder.

Then he turned and cut.

Ramos didn't bother Sneijder, but turned around and followed Rong Guang.

As long as Sneijder dares to pass the football to Rongguang, he will lose his confidence.

Sneijder really passed the football to glory, but not from the ground, but from the air!
An overhead pass went straight to the Real Madrid penalty area.

Ramos found that Rong Guang suddenly accelerated forward, so he could know that Sneijder passed the football to him without looking back, but Ramos still had to see how it was passed...

So Ramos also speeded up to catch up with Rongguang, and at the same time turned back to look for the football, he found that the football was in the sky - an overhead pass!
Ramos looked at the flight height and speed of the ball again, and found that if the football is allowed to fly down like this, it is likely to fly directly out of the baseline...

He felt that there was no need to chase after him, but when he thought of the glory beside him, the glory who was good at turning the impossible into the possible, Ramos gave up this idea, and followed the glory to chase the football...or run to the bottom line!

※※※

"Sneijder's overhead pass was a little too hasty. The pass was too big. Even if Rong received the ball, he didn't have a shot angle. It was very difficult to handle. The best way is to pass the football to the side and reorganize the attack..."

said the narrator.

Casillas also moved to the near corner of the goal, but he also hesitated.No matter how you look at the ball, Rong Guang has no shooting angle. Even if he can reach the football, he may pass it directly... That is the smartest explanation.

Casillas has a certain understanding of Rongguang, because this is not a secret.

When many media mention Rongguang's ability and quality, they will say that Rongguang is very calm in front of the goal, which is his advantage.

It is precisely because he is very calm and can always choose the most suitable technique that he can score so many goals.

So since there is no angle, shouldn't the most sensible behavior be to pass the football?

It's not rational at all to force a shot...

Thinking of this, Casillas slowed down towards the near corner, he wanted to prevent Rong Guang from crossing.

If Rong Guang made a cross, he wouldn't expose the entire goal nakedly within the range of other Manchester City players...
