Up to this point in the game, both sides have actually spent a lot of money. Real Madrid equalized the score in the 76th minute. Logically speaking, this is the end of the game.
However, no one expected that in the final stage, there would be a climax of confrontation!
After the restart, Southampton began to launch fierce attacks continuously, seeming to vent all the previous depression. Klose kept running and playing the ball, and the threat of James Ronaldo and Willian immediately seemed much greater.
With Vidal and Mkhitaryan inserted in the back row...
Ronaldo's long shot and William's pass after the breakthrough caused a lot of trouble for Real Madrid's defense.
In the 80th minute of the game, the advancing Klein forced a breakthrough and was brought down by Marcelo. Southampton received a free kick near the edge of the penalty area.
Mkhitaryan and J. Ronaldo both stood in front of the ball. Mkhitaryan feinted a shot. J. Ronaldo followed up and kicked the ball out with his left foot!
The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew straight to the front spot. Klose, Wundt, Chambers and Pepe on the defensive side all tried to grab the first spot, but none of them could.
After grabbing it, the ball quickly landed on the ground with a violent spin, then bounced upwards and spun into the near corner of the goal in front of the stunned Casillas!
"Oh oh oh! The ball went in! James Rodriguez's free kick scored! This free kick score was completely unexpected, with a weird arc... If Casillas hadn't been paying attention, he would have grabbed the spot.
If it were on a player, he wouldn’t just watch the ball fly into the door!”
J. Ronaldo started running around the field to celebrate. His performance in this game was slightly worse, but every time he got the ball, people's eyes lit up. Although this goal was a bit lucky, it was the best reward for him!
Ji Ya waved his fist vigorously. It has been eighty minutes, so it should be almost done...
But never underestimate the tenacity of the team coached by Mourinho.
Just three minutes later, the most overlooked person in Real Madrid's frontcourt scored a wonderful goal.
Di Maria passed the ball to the front of the penalty area from the wing. Benzema retreated and took the ball with his back. Just when everyone thought he was going to give the ball to Ronaldo, he quickly forced the ball and turned around!
Chambers reacted a step too late to the interference from behind, and Benzema didn't give him any chance to save it. He turned around and immediately kicked off a low shot!
The ball flew into the lower right corner of the goal, and Navas' reaction was also a step too slow!
Two to two ties!
After scoring, Benzema fished out the ball and ran back. The shouts of Real Madrid fans were like a landslide and tsunami!
Mourinho used up the last substitution, and Ozil replaced Essien to continue to strengthen the attack!
Ji Ya gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't be cowardly at this time.
He replaced Ronaldo, whose physical fitness was declining, with Nolito and continued to attack!
"Kiya showed rare courage! But it is very risky to do so... In fact, a draw in the away game is enough. If Jenkinson or Schneiderlin is replaced at this time to strengthen the defense, it will be difficult to withstand it."
The last few minutes should be fine."
Some commentators commented that Noriya was not unclear about this, but he knew that at this time, the team must not retreat!
Even if they lose, as long as they show courage at this time, the team's personality and characteristics will be determined.
We must keep attacking, keep attacking, and strive for victory at any time!
We can only launch defense under one situation, that is when we are already ahead and want to keep the lead!
Noriya's tough response made Mourinho a little moved.
However, Noriya's toughness doesn't mean he can win every time.
The game entered stoppage time, and Ronaldo, who had been looking for scoring opportunities throughout the game, shined brightly at this moment.
After he got the ball, he forcibly broke through Klein's defense, and then when he was close to the penalty area, he suddenly kicked off and hit the goal hard!
The ball roared into the penalty area, flew over Wundt's head, and then dropped rapidly!
This high and high shot is exactly Cristiano Ronaldo's unique skill - the elevator ball!
Navas has never hated himself so much for not being tall enough...
In response, he stretched his arms in the air, but he still missed a little!
The ball flew over Wundt's head, past Navas's fingertips, and the next moment, it plunged into the dead center of the goal!
Cristiano Ronaldo completed the winning goal at the last moment!
What is a superstar? A superstar is one who can stand up when asked to stand up at the most critical moment!
Looking at Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo celebrating wildly, Ji Ya shook his head helplessly. At least Southampton is not qualified to own such a superstar yet, and can only have the opportunity to cultivate it.
It's such a pity to lose in the end...
"A very exciting game, we won it very hard."
Mourinho took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Noriya.
Ji Ya shrugged his shoulders.
"Based on the situation and data, Real Madrid should win... We didn't do enough," Noriya said.
Mourinho nodded. He was a little surprised that Ji Ya was so calm. Generally speaking, being so calm after losing such an important game is something that only old coaches would do. Younger coaches would be furious.
Either he's losing his composure, Ji Ya is so young, yet he can be so calm...
But thinking about Noriya's status, Mourinho was relieved. A head coach without the pressure of dismissal can of course remain calm at all times.
"It's a pity that we didn't score points in the away game. The players performed very well. It was my decision to send in attackers at the last moment, because Southampton's style is to keep attacking, rather than being conservative for one point and three points.
It's almost the same... Real Madrid taught us a lesson, and the experience of this lesson will be very valuable. In short, we will perform better next time at St. Mary's Stadium."
When a reporter asked about the injuries of Otamendi and Benteke, Noriya showed his magnanimity: "Those were not two flagrant fouls, they were not even fouls. We were unlucky.
However, no team is immune to injuries, and no team is truly defeated by injuries. We have a complete team, and the injuries to two players will not affect our performance."
Noriya, who lost, seemed very calm, but Mourinho, who won, continued to show his sharpness: "I have recovered from the ecstasy, Southampton played very well, they almost gave us an encounter
It was a defeat. I felt sad for them. At the same time, I felt sorry for some Spanish journalists. They had already prepared everything to criticize me, but now they had to write something critical again...
"
Mourinho's words made many reporters look unhappy, and Ji Ya felt a little better. It seems that the battle between Mourinho and Spanish reporters is still going on to this day...
