Chapter 48: Oops?

Whether it is the head coach of Real Madrid or their players themselves, I'm afraid they would not have expected that Nottingham Forest would dare to launch such an active and proactive attack at the Bernabeu Stadium. It seems that they are going to attack Real Madrid.

Ten minutes into the game, Real Madrid had only one shot, but Nottingham Forest, who was away, had two shots. The most threatening one was the first shot at the start of the game, almost breaking the goal guarded by Casillas.

"For more than ten years, Real Madrid has proved to us an unbreakable truth - their defense is equal to Casillas alone. As long as he is there, everyone else on the back can be ignored." I don't know whether the commentator is praising Casillas or ridicule Real Madrid's defenders.

Compared with the star-stunning frontcourt lineup, Real Madrid's back line is indeed a bit bleak. The biggest card here is probably right-back Sergio Ramos. Gare and Louis are just right, while Marcelo is even stronger in offense than defense. He may be better than left-back when playing against the left-back.

Fortunately, in addition to Casillas, they now have Diyala. The arrival of this French midfielder has made Real Madrid's waist hard, which is the starting point for Real Madrid to move towards glory again. It is a dream to say that a team that can't even stand up to dominate Europe.

This game is actually a contest between two of the world's best midfielders, but unfortunately the Spanish media are not interested in hyping up such topics. They are more willing to predict the wonderful performances of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ribery, and the forward Trident.

After all, Michelle is the head coach, and his mind is different from that of the media. After seeing the team at a disadvantage, he got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines and shouted Diyala's name, signaling him to strengthen the interception and protection of the midfield.

He is not afraid of the Forest team fighting against him, he is even afraid of them not fighting against him. As long as they are willing to come out, there will be a chance behind him. Offense? That is the least worrying question for Real Madrid. Does anyone score more goals? Michelle is confident in winning.

Gago took the ball again to organize the offense. In this game, his task was to attack. Wood was responsible for protecting him.

Diyala posted it up. His center of gravity is low, his movements are flexible, his explosive power is good and fast. As a midfielder, his physical fitness is impeccable, except that he is not good at heading...

The French midfielder put some pressure on Gago from the side, and his movements were very fast. Gago couldn't keep up, and he staggered and lost the ball!

"Beautifully intercepted the ball!"

Cheers and applause for Diyala rang out in the stands. Nowadays, Real Madrid fans like this little French man very much. His presence allows Real Madrid's frontcourt superstars to attack unscrupulously, and they can enjoy the most beautiful offensive football. Real Madrid fans understand the football, they can boo to the passive and conservative team, and they are not stingy to appreciate a good midfielder.

But their applause and cheer seemed to be a little early.

Diyala just broke the ball from Gago when another man hit him from the side. The ball almost dropped the ball under his feet.

Fortunately, his physical fitness played a role in this collision. He protected the football and ran to the other side.

The man was still chasing him, and it seemed that if he didn't pass the ball, he would keep following him like this.

Without looking back, Diyala knew who was chasing him just now.

"George Wood forced Diyala! This is a head-on collision between two excellent midfielders! Diyala's ball protection is very beautiful, and Wood can't do anything to him for a moment..."

Yes. As a midfielder, Diyala's skills are pretty good. He can often dribble the ball by himself and suddenly penetrate several people. Then pass the ball to his teammates. He has confidence in his feet, which is of course a good thing, but it is also a weakness of him - as a midfielder, he has held the ball for too long...

George Wood stared at Diyala's ball. When he saw the ball under the opponent's feet waving a little further away, he immediately tackled it. Diyala instinctively felt danger. He wanted to stretch out his feet and poke the ball away. But he poked it in vain.

The football was shoveled away by Wood, and he kicked Wood's feet and fell to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle and ordered Wood to make a tackle foul. Wood was a little dissatisfied with the penalty, but he did not explain anything to the referee, but just got up from the ground and shook his head.

Don En saw clearly off the court, and Wood did not tackle Diyala at all. He was a little unhappy and complained constantly off the court: "Home, home..."

No one paid attention to his little complaints. The fourth official didn't even bother to look at him.

OK. Regardless of whether it was Wood's foul, at least Nottingham Forest prevented Real Madrid from a quick attack. It also confirmed that Don't analyze every player of Real Madrid before the game - at the tactical meeting the day before the game. Don't analyze the characteristics of each player of Real Madrid for the players. Among them, the part about Diyala, Don't tells his men that this person likes to dribble too much in the midfield, and doesn't look like a midfielder, but a front midfielder or a full-left forward. This is a point that must be used. As long as Diyala is closely guarded, he will have the opportunity to intercept the ball from his feet and then launch a counterattack directly. At that time, Real Madrid will be caught off guard because of the midfielder's loss!

This time Real Madrid and Diyala were both lucky. Wood's clean and beautiful tackle was regarded as a foul by the referee. No one in Real Madrid realized that this was a dangerous signal. But what about the next time? Their luck will not continue so well...

Tang En complained on the sidelines for a while, then walked back.

"They're dead." He said to Chris Lak in front of him as he unscrewed the cap of the water bottle.

Real Madrid lined up 442 formations in this final. Midfielder Diarra is responsible for defense and at the same time, he is connected to the frontcourt. He has to run continuously in the midfield, catch the ball, pass the ball, grab the ball... His role seems to be more like a core than Ribery. Ribery is also in the middle, but the position is higher. This is a midfielder close to a diamond. He is responsible for organizing the offense and playing the good long shot to directly threaten the enemy's goal. Cristiano Ronaldo is on the left. Higuain is on the right, but the two often switch positions with each other, making the opponent confused. They are speedy and skillful, and very impactful.

The two people on the front line are Benzema and Hunteral. Hunteral is a pure center. His task is very simple, which is to wait for the pass from his teammates in front, and then try every means to send the football into the opponent's goal. Benzema's position should be more active, he cruising beside or behind Hunteral. Connect the midfield and the front line. He is actually not the kind of shooter who has the final say. He has comprehensive skills and can create murderous intent for his teammates to assist.

Such a frontcourt combination is perfect and powerful. It is like a flawless work of art.

Unfortunately, such a wonderful marble artwork hit the ground and was a piece of iron led by George Wood.

Real Madrid launched an offensive again. This time Diyala's holding time was very short. He looked at Gago who was about to force him and passed the ball to Ribery in front.

Ribery completed the adjustment and control of the football while turning around, and this movement was done very naturally. The audience did not scream with excitement, but it could well reflect his technical level of age.

After seeing this scene off the court, Tang En couldn't help but shake his head. From the former side assaulter to the current middle lane organizer, Ribery has not yet completely changed under his command, and has achieved it in Real Madrid...

Ribery had just adjusted the ball. Wood forced him up.

Before the game, Pepe threatened him and asked him to be careful. Unfortunately, in the actual game, the probability of the two of them meeting was not high. The person he really wanted to be careful was not Pepe, but the captain of the forest team in front of him.

After the Frenchman saw Wood posing, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​dribbling the ball and rushing forward. This was wise - he didn't have the confidence to break through Wood's one-on-one defense.

He passed the football to Ramos who was inserted on the side. Higua on the right attracted Bale's attention because Ramos attracted the attention of Bale. Real Madrid's second captain could be assured and bold as the cross from the bottom.

He accelerated and made a cross, and Hunterlaer hit the football.

This time it was Akinfeyev's turn to perform. He flew into the air, stretched out his right hand, and pushed the football that Hunteral pushed out of the crossbar. The whole movement seemed easy, but only the most professional goalkeeper knew how difficult this movement was - jumping on the spot would definitely be better than jumping high in sprints, and heading at a close distance would not give the goalkeeper too much reaction time. All this can only be based on instinct. The body's instinct reacts in the lightning and flint, and next... it depends on God's.

Akinfeyev did it, and he held out Hunteral's header that he was bound to win, and there was applause in the stands. Real Madrid fans applauded this beautiful attack, while Nottingham Forest fans praised Akinfeyev for his wonderful save that was not inferior to Casillas.

"We have similar heights and experiences. Even their names are similar - Igor. The showdown between Casillas and Akinfeyev did not disappoint us. It was a very exciting final!"

In fact, it was Casillas' wonderful performance that stimulated Akinfeyev, and he didn't want to be at a disadvantage in front of his idol.

"The two teams faced each other in a tit-for-tat way. This game is pretty so far. I'm very happy that in such a final, coach Tony Donn did not choose to be conservative. We can only enjoy such a game. But I'm worried that such a scene will not last long... If Nottingham Forest leads, they will definitely shrink their defense and start defending and counterattacking. Donnn's changes are simply uncreative... In order to ensure the exciting level of the game, I hope to lead Real Madrid..."

The commentator is hacking Tangen again, which makes many Forest fans very upset.

"You damn crow's mouth!"

"Shut up your stinky mouth! Fuck the ball!"

The fans who could not watch the football live waved their fists at the TV. Some of them were holding wine glasses. The beer in the glass spilled out with their fierce movements and dripped on the people around them, but no one complained or cared. These people were all roaring loudly, as if they could really scold the commentator on the other side of the screen.

"Hey, Tony, don't let that bastard succeed!"

"Get a goal for those Espanyols!"

"Leading them! So what about their home court!"

Then the group of drunken fans began to cheer for the Forest team again, and the glass of beer was spilled with less than half. But who cares about that? You can call it again if you lose beer. It would be bad if Real Madrid scored the goal first. If you have too much beer, you won’t have the appetite to drink it!

Michel's team was thinking about scoring goals. Fifteen minutes have passed. The score is still 0:0, and from the scene, their opponents are not at a disadvantage. This makes some Real Madrid fans in the stands a little impatient - they are always like this. As long as it is at the Bernabeu game, Real Madrid does not score within 20 minutes of the game or have the advantage, sporadic booing will begin to sound in the stands. After thirty minutes, this booing will be connected and eventually become overwhelming. It brings huge psychological pressure to the home team players.

Tang En doesn't like coaching in this environment because he can't tolerate the fans in the stands so unscrupulously booing his own people. If it were him, he might give his middle finger to the fans of the team in the stands.

But now he enjoys this booing. At this moment, he knew that Real Madrid fans would become the twelfth man in Nottingham Forest. Those sporadic booing sounds in the hearts of Real Madrid players and gradually accumulate... Until some of them could not bear it, it was like a time bomb - a bomb, exploded in their own camp.

His team faithfully implemented his tactical arrangements: pressing without hesitation, creating tension, and allowing Real Madrid players to have superb skills. They can't take care of each other and can't fight smooth offensive cooperation. At the same time, every frontcourt counterattack will launch an on-site attack, so that Real Madrid's defenders dare not rashly press on. Especially Marcelo and Ramos.

Donne chose Nottingham Forest's main attack direction on Marcelo, and he knew that Marcelo was strong on offense and defensive. Michel could not prevent Marcelo from attacking, otherwise that would not be in line with the coach's football philosophy. The insertion of two full-backs has always been a feature of Real Madrid, and one of the reasons for Real Madrid's outstanding performance this season.

As a result, Marcelo was killed by the Forest team until now. Not to mention getting involved in the offense, even the defense was full of loopholes. If it weren't for Diyala's help, he would have been sieve by the Forest team.

"here we go again!"

The narrator shouted.

"Here's here again, damn!" Marcelo cursed in his heart.

The combination of Bentley and Rafinia made Marcelo miserable. Ronaldo would of course help him, but he is not a full-time defensive player after all, and his main task is offense.

This time when Rafinia passed by him, Marcelo retreated helplessly, and then he watched Bentley pass the ball to Gago in the middle, not Rafinia. What can he do? If he doesn't run back, the football will definitely give Rafinia, and then he will make a direct cross from the bottom.

Seeing the football being passed to the middle, Rafinia also stopped sprinting. He stopped near the sideline and had no intention of continuing to run forward. Marcelona closed in the middle. Cooperating with the team's defense line, the Forest's offensive space in front of the penalty area.

At this moment, Gago passed the ball and flew directly to Rafinia over the top!

Marcelo felt like he was being tricked by the Forest Team like a monkey. He turned around and ran back.

Rafinia was passing the ball to Bentley, and Ronaldo came to defend, and Bentley passed the ball between Ronaldo's legs to Gago.

This time Diyala stopped watching the show, and he rushed up to defend Gago.

Gago passed the ball to Wood.

For a moment, Nottingham Forest passed the ball in a row at the front of Real Madrid's penalty area, and Real Madrid's players couldn't even touch the ball.

This is a great shame.

The booing sounds in the stands were a little louder.

After Wood got the ball, Diyala threw Gago down and rushed towards him. It was not good for a single midfielder. He always kept running, running from one end to the other, and from the other end to the other end further... After seeing this and missing that, it was like a blind bear who broke the corn.

Wood turned around and passed the football to Bale.

Bale did not directly dribble the ball from Yanbian Road, but instead shook over Higuain and cut inward and inserted into the middle!

He disrupted Ramos' defensive intentions. He originally wanted to get stuck on the sideline and wait for Bale to hit him, but he didn't expect Bale to change the line. And Fernandez immediately pressed on the sideline and pushed Ramos in front of him, making him dare not move to the middle - he was afraid that he would run to the middle, but Bale passed the ball to Fernandez, who was completely unmarked on the sideline.

Ribery returned to defend and rushed to Bale.

Bale didn't even look at who was rushing up, so he swung the ball towards Wood beside him and continued to move forward.

After Wood received the ball, he passed the ball back immediately.

The two played a two-pass and one-cooperated in the middle of Real Madrid's penalty area!

This time, Ramos finally stopped guarding the wing because Bale was about to break into the penalty area. He threw Fernandez down, turned around and ran to the penalty area, intending to join forces with Gare to lock Bale outside the penalty area.

Bale, who was driving the ball at high speed, hit two people head-on, and Real Madrid's penalty area was overturned!

Fernandez raised his hand to signal Ramos to commit a foul. This position is too sensitive.

The referee did not make a judgment, not because he did not see Ramos' block. On the contrary, he made a move of raising his hands flat and stretching forward - the attacking side was favorable, and the game continued!

The moment before he collided with Ramos, Bale pushed the ball away horizontally.
To be continued...
