Chapter 270 The Dawn of Adversity
The fans at the Bernabéu applauded Casillas one after another, thanking Casillas for his wonderful saves to keep the goal clean.
On the sidelines, Ancelotti smelled danger. He called Harvey Alonso over and whispered in his ear.
Let them pay attention to protecting the back line and reduce the number of fouls at the front of the penalty area.
Harvey Alonso nodded frequently, and quickly passed on Ancelotti's opinions after returning.
Ancelotti's adjustment allowed Real Madrid's defense to quickly stabilize. After they blocked Manchester City's counterattack, they once again took the initiative on the field.
Benzema changed his almost invisible performance in the previous game, and he performed very well in this game.
His running, pulling and making the ball in the frontcourt created many opportunities for Ronaldo and Bell.
In the 27th minute, Benzema gave the ball to Ronaldo who followed up, and the latter volleyed and hit the goal frame.
There was a sound of sighing at the Bernabéu stadium, and countless Real Madrid fans hugged their heads in frustration.
Ronaldo is also a bit regretful, but he still gave Benzema a thumbs up.
Just 2 minutes later, Benzema and Bell completed the cooperation and assisted the opponent into the penalty area to complete a shot.
The quality of Bell's shot is not as good as that of Ronaldo. I don't know if he learned from Nunes, but he hit the far corner too far, wasting a second pass from Benzema.
Benzema shook his head secretly, these two guys, their shooting skills are not as good as mine?
Just let me figure it out myself!
In the 42nd minute, Modric began to control the rhythm of the game, and Real Madrid's fierce attack seemed to finally stop.
However, just as the Manchester City players breathed a sigh of relief for having survived this round of Real Madrid's onslaught, Benzema saw Modric look up, and did not hesitate to run back spiritually at the front of the penalty area.
Modric also completed a through pass almost at the same time, just passing through the gap between the two defenders of Manchester City.
nice shot!
Benzema secretly applauded Modric's pass, adjusted after receiving the ball, aimed the ball in the dead corner of the goal.
The quality of the shot was extremely high, and Joe Hart was really powerless. He didn't even make a save, and the ball went in.
After Benzema finished playing, he felt it. When he looked up, he saw the ball flying into Manchester City's goal.
He raised his hands and was ready to celebrate!
However, the line referee raised the flag first, the ball was ruled offside and the goal was invalid.
The slow-motion replay of the scene showed that Benzema started a little earlier, half a body ahead of the Manchester City defender.
The fans of Benzema and Real Madrid were all rejoicing!
Although the goal was disallowed, Benzema did not feel very frustrated. He felt that he was in a very good state today.
If you continue to play like this, scoring is only a matter of time.
The ball startled Manchester City's defenders. They increased their marking on Benzema in the next time and did not give him a chance to continue shooting.
The score of 1:0 was maintained until the end of the halftime.
The Real Madrid soldiers seemed very satisfied with the result, and walked off the field talking and laughing one by one.
On Manchester City's side, the expressions on the players' faces are much more serious.
Throughout the first half, Manchester City has not been able to get any good opportunities.
With the experience of the previous game, they thought they had figured out the strength of Real Madrid.
Unexpectedly, Real Madrid played different teams when they played at home and away. This made Manchester City a little unexpected, and the self-confidence of many players was shaken.
Pellegrini made some arrangements for offensive tactics during the intermission. They are now behind Real Madrid, and defensive counterattack tactics must not continue.
However, the second half of the game proved that Pellegrini's adjustment did not have much effect.
In addition to Lin Quan relying on his personal strength to hit a threatening shot, it is difficult for Manchester City to pose a threat to Real Madrid's goal.
On the contrary, Real Madrid's offense is playing more and more smoothly.
In the 57th minute of the second half, Real Madrid completed a steal in the midfield, and Modric once again sent a fatal through ball.
He didn't go to Ronaldo and Bell for this ball, but he found Benzema, who is coquettish.
Benzema's outstanding performance at the end of the half made Modric full of trust in him, thinking that he might give himself a surprise.
Benzema did not disappoint Modric. With his back to the goal, he picked the ball and turned around. Before Kompany blocked the ball and did not wait for the ball to land, he volleyed the ball and scored the ball. The far corner of the goal helped Real Madrid expand their lead!
The score became 2:0!
The total score was also rewritten to 4:3!
This time, Benzema took a special look at the line judge before celebrating, and after seeing that the line judge did not raise the flag, he celebrated excitedly!
If Ramos' goal gave Real Madrid a certain advantage, then now Benzema's goal has almost sealed the victory for Real Madrid.
Due to the away goal rule, Manchester City must score two goals if they want to advance to the final!
There are only more than 30 minutes left in the game. It is very difficult to score Real Madrid 2 goals in the Bernabéu stadium!
This time, there was not only warm applause at the Bernabéu stadium, but also cheers one after another. Under the great joy, even those who claimed to be successful people could hardly restrain their excitement.
In a certain stand at the Bernabeu, Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, who came to Madrid to prepare for tomorrow's game against Atletico Madrid, couldn't help shaking his head when he saw Manchester City playing so passively.
If it were him, he would choose to replace Yaya Toure with Fernandinho.
If Manchester City wants to make a comeback, they must take control of the midfield, otherwise, Real Madrid's offense will only be wave after wave.
There is no point in defending one of these waves, because Real Madrid's attacks are never-ending.
Pellegrini also thought of this, although Fernandinho has not yet admitted his mistake to himself.
But judging from the current game situation, the team needs him to play!
Thinking of this, Pellegrini looked at Fernandinho and asked the assistant coach to go up and remind him to warm up.
When Fernandinho heard his name, he quickly jumped up from the bench and ran to the sidelines to run back and forth along the pitch.
Obviously, he was ready to play.
Although he is still very dissatisfied with the coach, he will not reject Pellegrini's decision to arrange him to play at this time.
Just when Pellegrini was about to make a substitution, Ancelotti took the lead in making personnel adjustments.
The Manchester City coaching staff thought that the opponent would accept the meeting and replace them with defensive players to stabilize the defense, but after seeing the players they replaced, the Manchester City coaching staff were all stunned!
Ancelotti did not strengthen the defense, but continued to strengthen the offense.
He replaced Isco with Angel Wings—Di Maria!
Di Maria and Fernandinho played successively, the difference is that one is an offensive player and the other is a defensive player.
Looking at this substitution alone, it feels like Real Madrid is ahead of Manchester City, but the actual result is not the case.
Manchester City replaced Yaya Toure, but Kroos.
Obviously, Pellegrini felt that Kroos did not perform well in this game, so he decided to replace him.
Seeing the Chilean's decision, Guardiola was stunned.
Isn't Pellegrini replacing Fernandinho just to protect Kroos?
Why should Kroos be replaced?
He couldn't understand this decision!
After seeing the substitution card on the sidelines, Cross was a little depressed, and walked to the sidelines in silence with his head down.
He really didn't play very well in this game, because Real Madrid's offense was too fierce, which forced him to take on heavy defensive tasks.
And Kroos' defensive ability is not outstanding, and he has to face a group of top stars, so his performance in defense naturally falls short of expectations.
What's more serious is that after wasting too much energy on defense, he performed poorly on the offensive end. In this game, he failed to send the precise long pass like the previous game.
And because the Real Madrid players pressed him very fiercely, it was difficult for Kroos to play the role of a metronome in the midfield. He tried to control the rhythm of the game several times, but all ended in failure.
Being replaced early at this time made Cross inevitably feel a little frustrated.
The team fell behind, and he was replaced again. He could only sit on the bench and watch the game like a spectator, and could no longer have any influence on the result of the game.
He has a strong premonition that Manchester City will lose away and lose hope of promotion!
Not to mention him, Lin Quan also felt the same way.
After Fernandinho came on the field, he managed to freeze Modric.
But Di Maria became active in the frontcourt again. The cooperation of him, Ronaldo, Benzema and others made Manchester City's defense repeatedly strained.
The time passed by one minute and one second, and the score was still 2:0.
And what's more unfavorable is that Real Madrid has the advantage on the field.
This made Real Madrid fans sure that their team will definitely win this game and advance to the final.
So, the Bernabéu began to sing bursts:
Come on Madrid!
Noble and dignified!
Come on Madrid!
Go all out to win!
Defend your noble whiteness!
……
With the support of the singing, the Real Madrid players became more and more excited and active.
In the 73rd minute of the second half, Di Maria pulled to the wing, and after two consecutive two-to-one cooperation with Bell, he reached the front of Manchester City's penalty area.
Seeing that he was about to drive the ball into the Manchester City penalty area to complete the shot, he was suddenly tackled and the ball was lost.
There was an uproar at the scene, and the Real Madrid fans took a closer look and found that it was not Manchester City's defensive player who tackled the ball, but their No. [-] Lin Quan.
Lin Quan has observed that Di Maria likes to run to the left to do activities, so he waited here specially to guard against him.
Facts have proved that his judgment is accurate, and Di Maria really dribbled the ball in from the left and wanted to shoot.
This tackle Lin Quan ran for the ball, the tackle was quite clean, and he didn't touch Di Maria, so even if the opponent jumped towards Manchester City's penalty area with an exaggerated diving action, Lin All ignored it, got up from the ground and quickly passed the ball to De Bruyne, and then sprinted at full speed towards Real Madrid's half.
De Bruyne was also not affected by Di Maria who was howling in the penalty area of Manchester City. After receiving a pass from Lin Quan, he quickly sent a through ball, bypassing Real Madrid's midfielder, and passed the ball to the center. circle around.
The ball was passed beautifully, helping Lin Quan pass the interception of the Real Madrid midfielder!
After receiving the ball, Lin Quan strode towards Real Madrid's half court, getting closer and closer to Real Madrid's goal.
There was a lot of boos at the scene, and Real Madrid fans were very dissatisfied with Manchester City, especially Lin Quan's move.
I think he not only fouled badly, but also unsportsmanlike, and continued to attack when a player was injured.
However, the referee was near the scene of the crime, and saw Lin Quan's tackle clearly, knowing that he missed someone, so he did not call a foul, but signaled the game to continue.
Seeing the referee's penalty, the Real Madrid players panicked instantly.
The opponents have already dribbled the ball for half the time, and most of them are not in their positions.
"Quick, retreat quickly!"
Vice-captain Ramos roared, and was the first to rush towards Lin Quan.
He was the closest to Lin Quan and planned to try to stop him.
If it can't be stopped, Ramos is going to use a tactical foul to stop Manchester City's counterattack.
Lin Quan was very clear about Ramos' intentions, and he did not give Ramos a chance to foul.
Seeing Ramos rushing over aggressively, Lin Quan kicked the ball behind Ramos, and the ball was passed, dodging Ramos' grab!
Seeing that Lin Quan passed Ramos in this way, Bell, who was still slowly retreating from the wing, was stunned.
Why does this move feel so familiar?
Real Madrid fans at home have already smelled the danger of conceding the ball, and they booed desperately, trying to interfere with Lin Quan in this way.
Casillas decisively chose to attack when Ramos robbed, and Real Madrid could run in and out of the penalty area. If he didn't attack, staying in front of the goal would be waiting for death.
Rather than waiting to die, it is better to take advantage of Lin Quan's opportunity to pass Ramos and grab the half goal with him!
Casillas judged that he had a chance to get the ball, because in order to pass Ramos, Lin Quan kicked the ball far, almost in the middle of the two!
As long as he can touch the ball first, he can destroy the ball!
After the Real Madrid fans saw Casillas' attack, they didn't bother to boo Lin Quan. They all stood up nervously, stretched their necks to look at the field, and waited for the judgment of fate!
Casillas was already fast, but to his surprise, Lin Quan was even faster.
The game has been going on for more than 70 minutes, and he still has such a speed!
Casillas' pupils shrank suddenly, and he realized the danger.
I'm afraid I won't be able to touch the ball before Lin Quan!
So, Casillas gritted his teeth and chose to shovel, trying to destroy the ball.
Lin, give up, even after scoring this goal, Manchester City is still one goal behind.
But you will be seriously injured because of this shot, which is very uneconomical, so please give up!
However, within the sight of Casillas, Lin Quan resolutely raised his foot and kicked the football.
He didn't hide!

The fans at the Bernabéu applauded Casillas one after another, thanking Casillas for his wonderful saves to keep the goal clean.
On the sidelines, Ancelotti smelled danger. He called Harvey Alonso over and whispered in his ear.

But you will be seriously injured because of this shot, which is very uneconomical, so please give up!

He didn't hide!
