After Real Madrid recovered from the predicament of the center back leaving the field due to injury and replacing him with a substitute, they began to stir up a threatening offense again.
Zidane was used to receiving from the backfield and then rushing to the front field, waiting for his teammates to pass the ball back to him. He used his personal technical ability to tear apart the opponent's defensive line and then create scoring opportunities for the end of the frontline.
But in today's game, the most intuitive phenomenon was that Zidane did not need to withdraw at all. Arsenal did not counter-press in the middle and front field, which caused Zidane to lose his forward running position. As the offense advanced and the opponent's defense adjusted the timing, he found a good space and conditions to receive.
So Zidane began to contain and cover in the front field.
Beckham received Zidane's pass on the right, and then he dribbled forward. As soon as he entered the danger zone of 40 yards, he found himself caught in the opponent's double team. At this time, it was difficult to pass and cut in the middle. It seemed unreliable to pass directly to the striker, so he could only pass the ball back. Cissinho rushed forward with the ball. He could not find a good time to pass in front of Flamini. After hesitating, he fell into a tangle with Flamini.
Flamini intercepted the ball successfully, and Arsenal spurred a counterattack.
Qin Xiong approached the left side, and Flamini passed the ball directly to Qin Xiong.
Beckham had an injection as a defensive midfielder at Real Madrid, and he worked hard in defense. In this partial counter-press, Qin Xiong took the ball with his back and looked like he was going to dribble horizontally in the middle. Beckham moved a step in the direction of Qin Xiong's body movement, but he was shocked to see that the football under Qin Xiong's feet was brushed by the outside of his left foot. The football only slightly changed its forward rolling trajectory, and then rolled between Beckham's legs to the back. At the same time, Qin Xiong turned from the right and bypassed Beckham to run to the front field.
Passing through the opponent from the back!
There was a sudden exclamation in the Bernabéu stadium.
It was from the Real Madrid fans.
They would express their heartfelt appreciation after seeing the stunning display of football skills.
Qin Xiong dribbled the ball forward after passing Beckham, and Guti understood that he could not let Qin Xiong break through Real Madrid's defenders one by one in the process of charging.
He definitely had the ability!
So, he ran up and stabilized his body's center of gravity, focusing on delaying Qin Xiong's advance.
Fortunately, there was still the conscientious Beckham, who would not give up easily even if he was passed. His pursuit would form a pincer attack with Guti.
At this time, Qin Xiong did not force it. He directly crossed the ball to the middle. Fàbregas, who followed up, kicked the ball and the football quickly rolled to the left side of the front field.
Pires was unmarked in this space. He received the pass from Fàbregas, then cut across when Ramos was wavering, and then observed for a while. Henry was pincered by Gravesen and Messiah from the front and back. In addition, Carlos also retreated from the side. He could not find a chance to pass the ball to Henry, so he planned to do it himself.
A high-quality long shot from outside the penalty area was blasted out. Pires aimed at the upper right corner of the goal. When he felt that the ball had a high probability of going in, Casillas flew to save and held the ball over the crossbar with one palm. Pires could not help but cover his face with regret.
"Real Madrid has once again withstood the test of Arsenal's threatening counterattack! Pires' shot was impeccable, but maybe if the ball was faster, Casillas would not have been able to save the goal! The more Real Madrid attacked in this game, the more dangerous the rear defensive line was. Arsenal's counterattack was simply unstoppable! Henry and Qin Xiong were threats that could not be defended one-on-one, and they also had a wide space to attack, which was more conducive to their play.
Who let this be Bernabéu, the owner of this place is Real Madrid?
The pursuit of the white giant of Spain is to make the opponent collapse in the attack. Sometimes they are so crazy that they even forget what defense is. "
The audience in the stands could see that there was a huge problem with Real Madrid's defense, but what could they do?
Since the formation of Galactica, Real Madrid's defense had not been reassuring!
Before the formation of Galactica, Real Madrid was a super team that had won three Champions League in five years. On the contrary, the more star players accumulated, the team's record went on a downward trajectory.
However, Real Madrid's superstar advantage was still obvious.
Zidane's presence was very strong in the threat of individual possession in the front field.
The "extremely clever" Zidane had already seen through Arsenal's defensive strategy.
This strategy could not be said to be unsolvable, but at least it could limit the players' individual play to the maximum.
In the 38th minute of the game, Zidane slowly dribbled the ball in the front field, and Fàbregas could only gradually retreat. The more he retreated, the less space left for Zidane to break through. Qin Xiong was also supporting Fàbregas' defense.
In their view, this was a defense that should have been half successful.
However, just as he stepped into the danger zone of attacking 40 yards, Zidane suddenly passed the ball horizontally.
Qin Xiong suddenly became alert and exclaimed in his heart: Danger!
They focused their attention on Zidane.
The reason was simple. Whether it was Fàbregas or Qin Xiong, one person could never stop Zidane!
Silva also had to be wary of Ronaldo's play, forming a triangular cage with the defensive line to trap the alien inside.
This led to when Zidane passed the ball to Guti, no one expected that Zidane would pass the last pass to Guti.
He was the superstar!
What was Guti?
In Galactica, although many people cried out for injustice for Guti, Guti's status was far less than the superstars.
But when the team needed him, Guti would stand up and contribute all his strength to Real Madrid!
At this time, Guti, who could occasionally pass a strange and wonderful direct pass, did not disappoint Zidane's expectations.
He sent out a penetrating diagonal straight pass, and the football rolled behind Fàbregas and past Touré.
Robinho, who cut inside from the left outside the penalty area, had a chance to shoot diagonally towards the goal.
Just as countless Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu were looking forward to Robinho being able to send the ball into Arsenal's goal, Robinho decisively chose to shoot directly and shot the ball towards the far post of the goal.
Lehmann had no way to deal with the ball. He was running towards the near post of the goal. It was too late to brake and move in the opposite direction!
All the Arsenal players nervously watched the trajectory of the football.
Dang!
The football hit the outside of the post and bounced out of the end line!
Thank God!
Phew!
The Arsenal players, the audience, the fans, the players, and the coaches all breathed a sigh of relief.
Robinho looked up to the sky and sighed, while Arsenal survived!
