Chapter 735 This is not done by humans at all!
"Southampton counterattacks quickly, Real Madrid's return to defense is very fast."
"Kaka passed the ball to the left and handed it to Hazard."
"Kawajal has returned to defense and Hazard has no chance. He takes it back and Kaka diagonally inserts the left side to the support."
"Hazar passes to the side, Kaka catches the ball, and then returns to the middle."
"Beautiful two-pass one, Hazard catches the ball, leads it to the middle, and passes again!"
"Ibrahimovic, I missed it, and came behind me, Suarez, go in!"
"Suarez drifted past Casillas who attacked, the ball entered!"
“Two to zero!”
"Oh my God, Southampton has only been less than half an hour, leading 2-0!"
"So wonderful, so wonderful!"
"The whole goal of Southampton just now was very skillful, especially Kaka and Hazard's continuous wall-to-wave cooperation on the left, which was very clever, helping Hazard get rid of the defensive players and tear open the defense line of Real Madrid."
"Real Madrid is too anxious. After conceding the ball, they are too anxious to equalize the score. This has led to a lot of mistakes in the midfield and frontcourt, and Southampton seized a counterattack opportunity!"
"They should be more patient. After all, it's still early. Try to avoid making mistakes and wait for the opportunity to equalize the score. Instead of thinking about scoring the goal and equalizing the score, just like before, they were determined to score and equalize the score. In the end, they were seized by the more patient Southampton again!"
"Two to zero, now the total score is four to two, Southampton has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League with one foot!"
"There is one hour left now, Ancelotti must be calm, and Real Madrid players must not be anxious. Take your time. With Real Madrid's attack power, it is easy to score two goals in an hour."
"But if you make another mistake and get seized by Southampton again, the result will be a disaster!"
With this round of analysis by the TV station commentator, I saw that in front of the home and visiting team coaches' seat, the head coaches of both teams reached the edge of the command area, kept shouting at the players on the court, and then gestured.
If it is understandable that Ancelotti is anxious as the side behind two goals, then Bielsa's excitement is a little confused. Does it mean that Bielsa still feels not safe enough if he leads two goals?
The answer is obvious, yes!
The Argentine madman stood on the sidelines. He just asked captain Neuer, Xavi Martinez, Varane on the defense, and Tony Kroos and Modric in the midfield to stabilize the team's pace as much as possible. He should not be fast. He should be patient in his own half and ensure the defense first.
Although Real Madrid has many shortcomings and deficiencies, their biggest advantage is that the players have super personal abilities. As long as they give them a little sunshine, they can give you a bright future.
When facing such an opponent, your mentality is very important. If you feel that you can relax your vigilance or even be careless, then you will not be far from being reversed.
"Louis!" Bielsa turned around and shouted to chief assistant coach Louis Borini.
"I am here!"
"During the break, I'll catch all their problems and talk about it. You must be cautious in the second half and don't be complacent just because you lead two goals!" Bielsa is now even more worried than before.
The leader is not easy, because you must always be alert to being overtaken by your opponent, and beware of your opponent's adjustments and responses.
"I understand, I'll prepare right away!"
After saying that, Louis Borini greeted two staff members and took the lead in returning to the locker room.
Bielsa continued to squat back to the ground, frowning high, and the eyes shining with wisdom behind the golden silk glasses stared at the stadium without blinking, as if it was a camera, which wanted to include everything you saw into your mind.
In the visiting team command area not far from Bielsa squatting, Ancelotti also frowned and watched the game.
He is very conflicted!
It is not because the two goals are behind, but it has always been very contradictory.
The team he is in charge now is very strange, and it can even be said to be deformed.
The attack was enough to make the whole of Europe terrified, but it had a weak defense line. The serious head-heavy weight made him very embarrassed when setting up tactics as a head coach.
It was like at the beginning of the game, Southampton launched a big attack. Should he fight against the Saints head-on? Or should he adopt a more prudent tactic and ensure his defense first?
If it were the former, can Real Madrid's weak defense line be defended with the Saints' attack power that is equally superior to Europe?
There are also things like now, with two goals behind, Southampton retreating to the halftime, adopting more mid- and back-court ball control tactics, and patiently following Real Madrid to drag time. Why did Bielsa dare to do this?
The answer is very simple, because Bielsa knows very well that the pressing and oppression of Real Madrid's frontcourt Trident is entirely based on mood, and they are unruly and fight for each other.
In this case, if Real Madrid wants to ensure the pressure and pressure in the midfield, frontcourt, they have to push the midfield forward.
At least, Vidal and Di Maria must press on one!
But in this way, there are only two players left in the midfield, but Southampton has three players, and whether it is Tony Kroos, Modric or Kaka, they are all players with very exquisite skills.
Three to two, Southampton's advantage is still very obvious!
Also, Real Madrid's lineup itself has problems.
Among the three players in the frontcourt, besides Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are both players who rely heavily on passing balls from their teammates behind them, which makes Real Madrid's midfielder closely integrated with the frontcourt.
In this case, the ideal state for the back line is to move with the mid-front field to avoid the distance between the mid-front field and the defense line and appear to have gaps, but this is the ideal state, what about it?
In fact, three Southampton's frontcourt players have been staring at Real Madrid's backline.
Not to mention anything else, Ibrahimovic, Hazard and Suarez, just these three players are cruising beside you. Where can Real Madrid's defense line dare to move? Who dares to push forward?
Marcelo and Carvajal both were hit behind by Southampton while participating in the attack, and suffered a big loss!
If the defense line does not press forward, the midfield should be closely connected with the frontcourt, so the gap between the defense line will naturally widen.
Not to mention that the initiative in the game is controlled by Southampton, to a certain extent, as long as Southampton successfully pushes the ball into the midfield of Xavi Alonso, it can basically create a threat.
Substitution?
Who can be replaced?
Who can be replaced?
Thinking of this, Ancelotti, who has always had a good temper, couldn't help but feel the urge to whistle to the sky and curse her!
Damn, this is not done by humans at all!
What a fucking misery!
…………
…………
What unexpectedly was that after Southampton led two goals, although Real Madrid had counterattacked, it took a short time, only a few minutes. It did not create any threats, but was almost hit by Southampton again.
The first half ended with a score of 2-0, and both sides returned to the locker room.
Fifteen minutes later, the two teams returned to the stadium.
During the halftime break, Real Madrid made a substitution adjustment and replaced Gareth Bale with Casemiro.
This time the substitution obviously made the Welsh people very dissatisfied, and also made the Saints fans at the entire St. Mary's Stadium boo.
You should know that in the first half, Gareth Bale was definitely the most proactive player in Real Madrid's frontcourt. He made contributions to his best efforts whether on the offensive end or on the defensive end.
Does replacing him at this time mean that he will take the blame?
But if you really want to find a sinner, it won’t be his turn?
Therefore, the Welsh people were not seen and did not know where they went.
But Ancelotti seemed to have no choice but to replace Gareth Bale and replace Casemiro.
This is obviously a move to strengthen midfield defense, while Di Maria was replaced to the right winger.
Real Madrid has been replaced, while Southampton has no adjustments or changes at all.
Bielsa's attitude should still be still waiting.
Both sides played very well at the beginning of the second half, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who kept shouting at his teammates anxiously on the court, as if he was a little impatient.
But when the ball finally came to his feet, he was a little impatient whether he was dealing with it or passing the ball. Some even just shot directly, turning into a wave shot.
The fans of St. Mary's Stadium also sneered at this point and further increased the smell of gunpowder on the court, and even felt a little nervous.
In order to stabilize the situation, the referee also frequently paid out cards, including Carvajal, Suarez, Azpilicueta and other players who received yellow cards one after another.
But the real turning point of the game happened in the 67th minute of the second half.
Real Madrid got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Xavi Alonso made a free throw, and there was a melee in the penalty area. Cristiano Ronaldo and Varane both fell to the ground. The referee awarded a penalty without any doubt and gave Varane a yellow card to warn.
The penalty immediately aroused dissatisfaction among Southampton players and booed all the fans of the court.
But the referee clearly stated that he saw Varane having a foul.
From the slow motion, Varane did have a pulling action, but Cristiano Ronaldo's pose was indeed a bit too far.
In the end, the Portuguese personally took the penalty and rewritten the score to one-to-two.
This goal also allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to surpass Ibrahimovic in the Champions League scorer list again.
After regaining the goal, Real Madrid was full of morale and launched a mad attack towards Southampton's goal.
There was a sudden panic in front of Southampton's door.
Fortunately, Neuer was determined to command and made key saves many times. Although Varane's foul caused a penalty kick, his performance was also quite steady, coupled with an equally steady Xavi Martinez.
Although Southampton has been under tremendous offensive pressure, it has repeatedly resolved the crisis and made every effort to ensure the goal is not lost!
After stabilizing the defense and holding on to Real Madrid's bombing, Southampton began to look for opportunities to counterattack.
In the 83rd minute of the second half, Tony Crossbones passed the ball to the right with a diagonal pass from the half.
Sanchez, who came on the bench on the bench, received the ball on the right, dribbled the ball quickly, cut to the right side of the penalty area and made a cross.
But unexpectedly, the pass was a bit too big!
Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, Kaka suddenly rushed up from behind, shook his head towards the ball, and pushed the ball back to the middle.
I saw that despite Pepe and Ramos pulling left and right, Ibrahimovic still broke out from the crowd and shot towards the ball, and rushed the ball into the goal guarded by Casillas.
Three to one!
The moment when I watched the ball enter the net with my own eyes, the Swedish center clenched his fists with his hands and raised his arms and shouted, like a fierce ferocious beast!
The Swedish center's goal not only helped him tie Cristiano Ronaldo on the scorer list, but also completely dispelled Real Madrid's fighting spirit to continue to counterattack.
Chapter completed!
