Chapter Sixty-three
French referee Stefan Lannoy blew the opening whistle.
Lanoi, 44, is a senior international referee. He enforced the group stage between Brazil and Côte d'Ivoire at the World Cup in South Africa. At the end of that game, Kaka and Keita collided while running at high speed. Slow motion shows that the Brazilian star's elbow hit Keita's chest, but the Ivory Coast midfielder covered his face in pain.
Lanoi was deceived by Keita's superb performance, and two yellows turned into one red sent Kaka off. After the market selection, this red card ranked third in the "Top Ten Injustice Reds" of the World Cup.
After the kickoff, Galatasaray was frustrated after his first attack. Inan's pass from the side was intercepted by Desub, and Real Madrid quickly counterattacked.
Zhuo Yang sent a straight pass to Ronaldo who was cruising to the right in the middle circle. The president ran and knocked on the middle. If Xiao Yan Gu caught up, he would form a single shot. Uruguayan goalkeeper Musleira did not make a fool. He rushed out of the penalty area and snatched the ball outside the top of the arc before Xiao Yan Gun to destroy it.
In the last round, Musleira wittically threw the ball to Kaka. At the beginning of today, he decisively tackled the football to Di Maria.
Angel Di swung his left foot that was kissed by the angel and shot from a distance 35 meters from the empty gate. The football came out against the post. Maybe the angel didn't brush his teeth today.
If Galatasaray is always so careless, Real Madrid wouldn't mind copying it again 4:0 today.
One minute later, Zhuo Yang suddenly accelerated while advancing, and Real Madrid's formation moved. Zhuo Yang stuffed the football to the Magic Flute on the left rib, and the Magic Flute jumped into ballet and dodged the Big Top and passed the football down from the left rib.
Khedira got the bottom from the left, and he passed the ball across the goal at the junction of the penalty area line and the bottom line. The elusive Ronaldo appeared at the front point in the small penalty area. After the ball was lightly padded, the score became 1:0.
Just three minutes into the game, Real Madrid led the total score by 5:0. If the Turks might have had a glimmer of hope before the start of the game, after all, no one has ever done a four-ball comeback, but the blow from this ball made all bubbles burst.
Unless Galatasaray scores six goals in a row next time, this is obviously something that even patients with paranoia cannot imagine.
After the re-telection, the lost Galata player fell in a daze in the backcourt. Zane was interrupted by the diligent Ronaldo. Perhaps because of surprises one after another, Ronaldo's shot failed to give enough strength and was saved by Musleira.
If this continues, Galatasaray will be really beaten, and Real Madrid who comes to vacation will still be Real Madrid. The old coach Trim was furious on the sidelines, and a series of Turkish language poured out. Zhuo Yang and the others don't understand it, but they must be cursing, otherwise the old coach who coached AC Milan was actually very good in English.
The tactical focus of Real Madrid before the game is not the primary point, because it has already won, avoiding injuries and red cards is the key. Now, scoring a goal in the start of the game has the effect of adding icing on the cake, so the formation should naturally be closed. Don’t do anything at all. It is time to consider the subsequent semi-finals.
There will be no draws after the quarterfinals, and the four teams in the upper and lower halfs are clearly distinguished. Mourinho hopes that his opponent in the semi-finals will be Malaga, and Zhuo Yang hopes that it will be Dortmund.
Trim's roar was effective, his players stabilized, did not make low-level mistakes again, and returned to their due level. The orderly offense and defense seemed like that.
After all, they are all stars who once dominated the mainstream European football world. After getting out of confusion, especially the frontcourt, they are obviously smarter than in the first round.
The Warcraft Drogba no longer forced himself to find Pepe and Varane Hard Steel, but instead showed his strengths of support and kept swimming around the frontcourt to create space for his partner Brut and Sneider behind him.
In the 31st minute, Detu was a little busy. He fought Drogba back on the right side and fought with Sneider for speed, and tried to ensure the defense line was safe both times. But in the pursuit of Galatasaray captain Selcuk Inan, he stopped suddenly and turned sharply, but he wounded his right thigh muscles.
It was really unlucky to have the general broken in front of the formation. Just after half an hour, Mourinho had to replace Aveloa with Detu, who kept smoking.
The situation next was a bit dull. Real Madrid, who stopped when they were good, was the defender, and Galatasaray, who fought for face, was the main attacker. Except for Sneider and Ebue, who used tactical fouls to stop Zhuo Yang's reactionary fast attack counterattack, there was basically no big book.
Galatasaray, who returned to home, played very aggressively, which complemented their fans' violent shouts. The home bonus made the strength they showed a higher level.
Real Madrid was vaccinated before the game, and coupled with the lessons of Detu's injury, everyone focused on safe playing style and every step of the way.
The game was tied to the 60th minute of the second half, and the score on the field was still 1:0.
Compared with the first round, Galatasaray's performance has returned to its due level, including Altentop, the Big. However, for the sake of strengthening the offensive, Trim replaced him with Moroccan winger Amrabat during the break.
In the 60th minute, Swedish striker John Elmander replaced Trum, who had wasted several opportunities before.
Zhuo Yang had just played against Elmander not long ago. This guy is Ibrahimovic's substitute for the Swedish national team. In the friendly match at the end of last month, it was his goal that allowed Sweden to defeat the Chinese team 1-0.
Elmander's appearance also brought Trim's instructions to launch a large-scale attack. At this moment, Real Madrid had retreated again and again due to the tactical strategy of self-protection and retreat, and his spirit also retreated back to the half.
A person's spirit is always subtle. If he retreats for a long time, his spirit will be depressed. Real Madrid has gone from leisure before the game to contempt after a successful start of the game, and then to continue to retreat now, and his momentum is completely suppressed by his opponent.
In the 62nd minute, under Galatasaray's active and aggressive press in the frontcourt, Coentron's clearance in the penalty area turned into a cross-pass assist, and Sneider seized the opportunity to shoot. The football had already crossed the squid brother's gloves, and was rescued by Zhuo Yang who turned around and slipped to the goal line.
However, Real Madrid players did not seem to learn from this dangerous situation and still seemed careless and numb.
In the 66th minute, Ebue broke through from the right and passed the ball. Brazilian Melo was completely empty in the middle, but it may be because he didn't expect such a good opportunity to be so empty. After taking off, he was overwhelmed by the football and did not rush forward.
The football flew to the other side, Drogba swung Pepeka behind him and then hit the ball. The football flew out against the crossbar, and the octopus was shocked.
Mourinho, off the court, noticed the danger, and the players defended the half of the game with a passive defense. At this time, they were already slapped and lost their sense of smell. Mourinho quickly ordered Higuain and Albiol to prepare for the game, intending to use adjustments to change the team's spirit.
