Chapter 105: Dividing the BBC
In the 13th minute, Arsenal scored first, which no one expected.
And Arsenal's goal completely ignited the fighting spirit of Real Madrid's forwards.
After the game resumed, these three people began to attack Arsenal's back line fiercely.
Arsenal's midfield stranglehold was very strong, but it still couldn't limit these three people.
And they also had to pay attention to Modric who sent out second passes from time to time.
After Real Madrid fell behind, the fighting spirit did not go out, but became stronger.
Especially Ronaldo!
For the first time, Arsenal felt the pressure from the peerless duo.
After entering the penalty area, Ronaldo reached the shooting range and could score from any angle.
And Modric could sometimes send out second passes, and Ronaldo's running awareness was also extremely strong.
The most important thing is Ronaldo's header ability.
Mertesacker is nearly two meters tall, but he can't completely defend Ronaldo.
This guy's grasp of the timing of jumping and the judgment of the jumping direction are extremely unique.
Although Mertesacker defended hard, he was always a step behind and could not keep up with Ronaldo's pace.
Lucky was also in trouble.
Bale actually started to retreat to receive the ball, and this retreat went directly into his own half, so Lucky could not follow up.
When he came to Lucky, Bale had already completed the switch to the Monkey King mode and sped up directly on the wing.
Under waves of impact, Lucky blocked several times, but was also passed by Bale several times.
Fortunately, the joint defense was done well, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
Arsenal's defense was not idle either.
Their own defense was being beaten, and they had to work hard.
Pepe had a yellow card on his back, so Arsenal tried their best to break through this point.
Pepe was very annoyed about this, but there was no way, he needed to pay some price for what he did.
During this period, Arsenal also got several good counterattack opportunities.
But with Walcott being watched, Rosicky was not a good choice for a quick counterattack.
After trying to counterattack several times, Arsenal gave up and began to switch to positional warfare.
Arsenal only has one wing that can take off, and Rosicky's point has never been for quick counterattacks, but to stabilize the midfield.
However, even so, Arsenal still played back and forth with Real Madrid.
This season's Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League is extremely amazing.
In the two home and away games in the quarter-finals, Schalke 04 scored a full 9 goals.
In the home and away games of the quarter-finals, Manchester United scored 6 goals.
From this, we can see the strength of this Real Madrid's forward line.
There is also a Modric who keeps delivering shells from the back, which makes the BBC combination fully unfold the personal show mode.
But such a Real Madrid, when facing Arsenal's defense, actually feels like it can't get in.
Ronaldo was marked very tightly, and Ramsey did almost nothing but stared at Ronaldo.
Bale performed well, using his speed to beat Lucky again and again, but under coordinated defense, after Gibbs came forward, the two completed the double team, and Bale had no way to escape.
Benzema was isolated in the middle and could not form a response at all.
Despite the fierce offensive, most of them used personal abilities rather than cooperation.
Seeing this, Anchettino raised his eyebrows slightly.
He turned his head and looked at Wenger, with a sigh in his eyes.
It's Wenger!
When others faced this BBC combination, most of them suppressed this BBC combination by restricting Ronaldo.
If this combination is described as a cannon, Ronaldo is a cannonball.
Is a cannon without a cannonball still threatening?
But Ronaldo's place is not so easy to restrict, so there is always a situation where Ronaldo exerts force in the second half and then reverses the score.
But Arsenal's approach is completely different.
Although they are also restricting Ronaldo, this is just an appearance.
They are more about division!
Divide this BBC combination!
Without Benzema's pass and Bale's strong attack, Ronaldo no longer poses such a strong threat.
Arsenal did the opposite and directly dismantled the artillery for you. Real Madrid only had artillery shells but it was useless!
The situation of the game was much more intense than expected.
Modric received the ball here, and Lucky rushed up immediately to steal it.
But when Lucky hit him, Modric's body deviated a little, but he did not fall down, and he still controlled the ball under his feet.
This surprised Lucky.
After all, the difference in tonnage between the two is here. Modric looks small and thin, but he is so resistant to collision.
After stabilizing his body, Modric passed the ball to Xabi Alonso who responded.
And Lucky also retreated to his defensive position.
Lucky's expression was extremely solemn. He thought that Real Madrid would be difficult to play, but he did not expect that the opponent's midfield was so solid!
Arsenal's central axis is very strong.
Suarez, Cazorla and Lucky!
But Real Madrid's central axis is not bad at all.
Benzema, Modric and Xabi Alonso.
Any one of these six players can be a core player.
Now the two lineups are in a stalemate.
The pressure has all come to the wing.
But what kind of wing is Real Madrid!
C Ronaldo + Bale.
What can Rosicky and Walcott use to fight the opponent.
Efficiency cannot be guaranteed.
The BBC cutting tactics will eventually fail. After all, it requires Arsenal to run continuously, but after the physical strength decreases, this tactic will not work.
At the 38th minute, Real Madrid still launched a fierce attack on Arsenal's goal.
After the butter hands at the beginning, Szczesny has been playing very well.
He blocked many good balls with high catches.
Among them was a falling leaf ball by Ronaldo, which can be called a world-class save.
But this is not a good phenomenon.
This means that Arsenal is being forced to play.
Swish! !
The sound of the ball rubbing the net.
The Arsenal defenders' faces turned pale. They turned their heads to look at the goal and then looked at the referee.
The referee pointed to the corner kick area.
The ball rubbed the outer net.
The Arsenal players couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But looking at Ronaldo and others rushing into the penalty area, they became bitter again.
Lekai walked towards Ronaldo, and he and Mertesacker wanted to double-team Ronaldo.
After several defensive attempts, it was proven that Mertesacker did not have the ability to defend Ronaldo alone, so Lekai had to make up for this.
"Pay attention to marking! Don't be confused by their running positions!"
Lekai reminded loudly.
At this time, Ronaldo put pressure on him this time, and Lekai put his feet hard, not letting him go.
After a while, Ronaldo turned his head and said, "Nice chest muscles!"
Lekai was stunned.
What the hell?
Looking at Lekai's weird expression, Ronaldo hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I just simply said that your chest muscles are well trained."
Lekai raised his eyebrows, "I should say thank you."
Ronaldo shrugged, "No need!"
After that, Ronaldo suddenly ran forward, and Lekai followed closely as if he had expected it.
The two ran to the front point and stopped.
At this time, Modric had already taken a corner kick.
The ball did not fly to Ronaldo, and Ronaldo seemed to have known it long ago, saying to Lekai; "The back post is empty!"
At this time, Lekai was already in a position to turn his head and look at the back post.
"Sharp sense of smell! But it's too late!"
Ronaldo praised, and then looked at the back post.
He saw that Ramos actually went around to the back post, jumped up with all his strength, and completed a header.
The ball fell diagonally, hit the ground and bounced into the goal.
In the 42nd minute, Real Madrid equalized with Ramos' header!
Lekai sighed slightly.
They put too much attention on Ronaldo.
Ronaldo led Lekai and Mertesacker to the front post, and at the same time, other players rushed in, completely disrupting the attention of Arsenal's defensive players.
And Ramos also went around to the back post at this time.
This is Real Madrid's corner kick tactic, and Arsenal failed to react in the first time.
One wrong step, all wrong steps!
"Ramos! Helped Real Madrid equalize the score!"
"At the moment when the first half was about to end, Real Madrid equalized the score and the two teams returned to the same starting point!"
The Spanish commentator shouted loudly, and the commentator partner on the side smiled and raised his hands: "Hala madrid (Long live Real Madrid)!"
On the Sky Sports commentary desk, Paul Mossen said helplessly; "I couldn't stop Real Madrid's attack! Ramos's position was really unexpected!"
No one thought that Real Madrid would score a goal in this way.
After all, everyone was staring at the BBC!
