Chapter 244 Challenge the Galactic Battleship (4)
"Robben! The goal was Alger Robben! Very beautiful single-handed pass!" Because the red and blue battle between Chelsea and Barcelona is more gimmick and attracts people's attention, Sky TV did not send Andy Gray and Martin Taylor to explain the game between Tottenham and Real Madrid this time, but instead invited Redknapp Jr. and Pat Jennings to comment on the commentary, "It's a surprising situation! Congratulations to Tottenham! Now they temporarily lead Real Madrid 1-0 at the Bernabeu Stadium!"
Robben's goal was like a powerful sedative, making the originally bustling Bernabeu stadium extremely quiet. Only more than 5,000 Tottenham fans who went on a trip to Madrid gathered in a corner of the stands and celebrated the goal ecstatically!
At the same time, Tottenham's bench was also in full swing. Everyone was celebrating on the sidelines, as if they had forgotten that the game was far from over!
"It doesn't matter, Real Madrid is only one goal behind now. There is still a lot of time for the game. As long as Zidane and the others can get serious next, they still have great hope of winning this game." Looking at the Tottenham fans in the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium who were so excited that they were beaten to show excitement, the commentator on Real Madrid was full of bitterness, and he could only say some comfort words to cheer himself and Real Madrid supporters. But soon, his attention was diverted by the scene on the field, "Wait, something is wrong... Why haven't Salgado stood up yet? Could it be that when he was defending Robben, his old knee injury was restored?!"
You know, this is not impossible. Because Salgado was in the game with an injury, and his old knee injury and his previous thigh strain were not cured. He was forced to hit Robben just now, and in desperation, the Spaniard, who used all his strength, was very likely to recover from his injuries!
When the commentator thought of this possibility, the hair on his body stood up in shock. Although Real Madrid is known as the Galaxy battleship and the team's lineup can be said to be star-studded, in terms of the depth of the bench, Real Madrid, which insists on the "Zidane Pavin" policy proposed by Florentino over the years and ignores the accumulation of reserves of blue-collar workers and role players, cannot be compared with when he held the Big Ear Cup in Glasgow two years ago!
This means that if Salgado ended early due to injury, then there will be a huge vacuum on Real Madrid's right-wing defense next!
Seeing Salgado lying on the turf and unable to get up, and a painful expression on his face, Lucemberg couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart. Obviously, the Brazilian coach also knew very well in his heart that once Salgado really left the field early due to injury, it would cause a heavy blow to Real Madrid's already extremely fragile defense line!
Although Lucemberg kept praying that things would not go in the worst direction, unfortunately, after a emergency treatment, Real Madrid team doctor still signaled to the Brazilian that Salgado could no longer continue to play!
"What a hell!" Seeing the diagnosis of his team doctor, Luxenberg cursed, and then replaced Salgado with young player Raul Bravo. However, it is really unpredictable what effect Luxenberg's replacement adjustment can achieve. You should know that although Raul Bravo is a backcourt all-rounder and can almost be competent for any position in the midfield and backcourt, the worst thing is that he, who is deeply influenced by Carlos, has a very obvious tendency to focus on offense and defensiveness, and his defensive ability and enthusiasm are quite average. With Bravo's ability, it is difficult to resist the successive impact of Robben and others!
However, this is also Luxenberg's helpless move - who made Salgado's surprise now? Raul Garcia is still useful in this substitute? If this is not the case, Luxenberg would not dare to replace Bravo, a defender who only has the main level of a La Liga relegation team in such a key battle that is related to the qualification of the Champions League quarterfinals.
Sure enough, after the game restarted, Raul Bravo's performance was as terrible as a disaster. With Robben's impact and Alonso's deliberate targeting, Bravo, who was not as good as Salgado's "desperate" spirit, could not defend his defense at all. He could only let Robben gallop in front of his eyes, or use fouls to prevent the opponent from further deepening!
It has to be said that although he has never had experience coaching in European football and his character has been questioned due to scandals such as tax evasion and bribery, as a head coach, Lucemberg's ability is still quite good. After seeing that Bravo's right side was beaten by Tottenham, the Brazilian coach did not consider how to make up for the defensive loopholes on the right side, but waved the banner and ordered the players to attack the entire line!
In Luxenberg's view, Real Madrid's defense, which is like a rag, is really not necessary to save. Instead of spending a lot of effort on the defensive end that may not be effective, it is better to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses and fully utilize your own advantages and devote all your remaining energy to the offense!
The power that Real Madrid, who is devoted to the attack, can exert is extremely terrifying. Although Zidane and Figo are old and their physical fitness and physical fitness are far less than their peak years, don't forget that it was such a team in the previous life. In the second Spanish national derby in the O4-O5 season, they defeated Barcelona, who was in full swing four to two!
Although Tottenham is no less than any top giant in overall strength, no matter how talented it is, Tottenham players are always far behind the superstars of Real Madrid in terms of game experience. Therefore, facing Real Madrid's fierce offensive, Ridley King and others still showed an immature side - they were worried that their goal would be broken by Real Madrid, so they concentrated on defense, bsp;
In the 41st minute of the game, Zidane sent a straight pass on the left side of the penalty area. Carlos took advantage of the advantage and made a low cross before Stephen Carl. Raul, who was receiving the front point, threw away Vidic, who was guarding him, and fell to the ground and shot with his left foot five meters in front of the goal!
However, it seemed that the sluggish competitive state affected the feeling of shooting. Although the "Lord of the Rings"'s front-end tackle was both powerful and only five meters away from the goal, the ball did not fly into the goal guarded by Cech, but bounced back after hitting the crossbar!
If Ronaldo hadn't scored a goal in the penalty area and tied the score one-to-one, then now, Raul, who missed this good opportunity to score, would have been slapped by the picky Real Madrid fans!
