Chapter 735 This Was Not Done by Humans at All!

"Southampton countered quickly, Real Madrid came back quickly."

"Kaka passed the ball to the left and gave it to Eden Hazard."

"Carvajal has returned to the defense, and Hazard has no chance. He leads back, and Kaka diagonally inserts to the left to respond."

"Eden Hazard crosses wide, Kaka receives the ball and passes back in the middle."

"Beautiful two to one, Hazard received the ball, led it to the middle, and passed it again!"

"Ibrahimovic, one leak, behind, Suarez, go in!"

"Suarez swayed Casillas, who was attacking, and the goal was scored!"

"Two to zero!"

"Oh my God, Southampton is leading 2-0 in less than half an hour!"

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful!"

"Southampton's whole goal just now, the passing and receiving cooperation is very skillful, especially this time when Kaka and Hazard hit the wall consecutively on the left, it is very clever, helping Hazard get rid of the defenders and tearing apart Real Madrid's defence."

"Real Madrid was too anxious. After losing the ball, they were too anxious to equalize the score. This caused them to make a lot of mistakes in the midfield. Southampton seized a chance to counterattack!"

"They should be more patient. After all, it is still very early. Try to avoid making mistakes and wait for the opportunity to equalize the score. Instead of just thinking about scoring goals and equalizing the score as before, they were more patient. Southampton took another chance!"

"Two to zero, now the total score is four to two, Southampton has already entered the semi-finals of the Champions League with one foot!"

"Now there is one hour left, Ancelotti must be calm, Real Madrid players must not be anxious, take your time, with Real Madrid's attacking power, scoring two goals in one hour is a piece of cake matter."

"But if you make another mistake and get caught by Southampton again, the result will be irreversible!"

Following this round of analysis by the TV commentator, it was seen that in front of the coaches' benches of the home and away teams, the head coaches of the two teams had reached the edge of the command area, shouting at the players on the field and gesticulating.

If it is said that Ancelotti is the side behind by two goals,

If it is justifiable to be anxious, then Bielsa's excitement is a little confusing. Could it be that Bielsa still feels not safe enough after leading by two goals?

The answer is obvious, yes!

The Argentine lunatic stood on the sidelines. He just asked captain Neuer, Javi Martinez and Varane in the defense, and Toni Kroos and Modric in the midfield to stabilize the team as much as possible. The rhythm should not be fast, you must patiently control the ball in your own half, and first ensure the defense.

Although the Real Madrid team has many shortcomings and deficiencies, their biggest advantage is that the players have super personal abilities. As long as you give them a little sunshine, they can give you a bright future.

Facing such an opponent, mentality is very important. If you feel that you can relax your vigilance by leading by two goals, or even become paralyzed, then you are not far from being reversed.

"Luis!" Bielsa turned his head and shouted at head assistant coach Luis Borini.

"I am here!"

"During the half-time break, point out their faults and talk about them. You must be cautious in the second half, and you can't be complacent just because you are leading by two goals!" Bielsa is now more worried than before.

It is not easy for the leader, because he must always be on guard against being overtaken by his opponent, and he must also beware of the opponent's adjustment and response.

"I understand, I'll get ready right away!"

After speaking, Luis Borini greeted the two staff members and went back to the locker room first.

Bielsa continued to squat back on the ground, his brows furrowed high, and the eyes shining with wisdom behind the gold-rimmed glasses stared at the court without blinking, as if it was a camera, trying to capture everything he saw. It's like it's all recorded in my head.

In the visiting team's command area not far from where Bielsa squatted, Ancelotti watched the game with the same frown.

He is conflicted!

It's not because the two goals are behind that it is contradictory, but it has always been contradictory.

The team he is in charge of now is very strange, even deformed.

He has an offense that is enough to scare the whole of Europe, but has a weak defense line, which is seriously top-heavy. As a head coach, he is very embarrassed when arranging tactics.

It seems that at the beginning of the game, Southampton aggressively attacked. Is he going to head-to-head with the Saints? Or adopt a safer tactic, first ensure your own defense?

If it is the former, can Real Madrid's weak defense be able to defend with the saint's attack power that is also the best in Europe?

Also like now, with two goals behind, Southampton retreated halfway, adopted more ball possession tactics in the midfield, and patiently followed Real Madrid to drag the time. Why did Bielsa dare to do this?

The answer is very simple, because Bielsa is very clear that the pressing and oppression of Real Madrid's front trident is entirely based on the mood, and there is no way to fight.

In this case, if Real Madrid wants to ensure the pressing of the midfielder, it must press the midfielder forward.

At least, both Vidal and Di Maria should press one!

But in this way, there are only two players left in the midfield, but Southampton has three players, and whether it is Toni Kroos, Modric or Kaka, they are all very skilled players.

Three against two, Southampton's advantage is still obvious!

Also, Real Madrid's lineup itself has problems.

Among the three players in the frontcourt, apart from Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are all types of players who rely heavily on passes from teammates behind them, which makes it necessary for Real Madrid's midfielders to Integrate closely with the frontcourt.

In this case, the ideal state of the back line is to move with the center field, to avoid the gap between the center field and the defense line, but this is the most ideal state, in fact?

In fact, Southampton's three frontcourt players have been eyeing Real Madrid's defense.

Among other things, Ibrahimovic, Hazard and Suarez, just these three players are cruising by your side, how dare Real Madrid's defense move? Who dares to press forward?

When both Marcelo and Carvajal were involved in the attack, they were beaten by Southampton and suffered a big loss!

If the defensive line does not press forward, the midfielder must closely connect with the frontcourt, and naturally the gap between the defensive line and the defensive line will widen.

Not to mention that the initiative of the game was controlled by Southampton. To some extent, as long as Southampton smoothly pushes the ball to Harvey Alonso's midfielder area, it can basically create a threat.

Substitution?

Who can be replaced?

Who can be replaced?

Thinking of this, Ancelotti, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but have the urge to scream up to the sky and swear!

Damn, this was not done by humans at all!

What a bloody hell!

…………

…………

To everyone's surprise, after Southampton led by two goals, although Real Madrid had a counterattack, the time was very short, probably only a few minutes, and they did not create any threat. Instead, they were almost beaten by Southampton again. made a counterattack.

The first half ended with a score of two to zero, and both sides returned to the locker room.

Fifteen minutes later, the two teams returned to the court.

At half-time, Real Madrid made a substitution adjustment, replacing Gareth Bale with Casemiro.

This time the substitution obviously made the Welsh people very dissatisfied, and it also made the Saints fans booed throughout St. Mary's Stadium.

You know, in the first half, Gareth Bale was definitely the most proactive player in Real Madrid's frontcourt. Whether it was on the offensive end or on the defensive end, he made contributions within his ability.

Does replacing him at this time mean that he should be blamed?

But if you really want to find a sinner, it won't be his turn, right?

Therefore, the Welsh people disappeared directly, and they didn't know where they went.

But Ancelotti seems to have no choice, replacing Gareth Bale and replacing Casemiro.

This is obviously a move to strengthen the midfield defense, and Di Maria was transposed to the right winger position.

Real Madrid made substitutions, but Southampton did not make any adjustments or changes.

Bielsa's attitude should still be to wait and see.

The two sides played very hotly at the beginning of the second half, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who frequently and anxiously shouted at his teammates on the court, seemed a little impatient.

But when the ball finally came to his feet, whether he was handling or passing the ball, he was a little impatient, and some even simply hit the goal hastily and turned into a wave.

The fans at St. Mary's Stadium also aimed at this point and taunted the Portuguese, which further increased the smell of gunpowder on the court, and even felt a little tense.

In order to stabilize the situation, the referee also frequently drew cards. Players including Carvajal, Suarez, Azpilicueta and others all received yellow cards.

But the real turning point of the game came in the 67th minute of the second half.

Real Madrid won a free kick in the front court, Xabi Alonso made a free kick, there was a scuffle in the penalty area, Cristiano Ronaldo and Varane both fell to the ground, the referee awarded the penalty without doubt and gave Varane received a yellow card warning.

The penalty immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the Southampton players, and also booed the audience.

But the referee made it very clear that he saw a foul by Varane.

The slow motion shows that Varane did have a pulling action, but the posture of Cristiano Ronaldo falling to the ground is indeed a bit too much.

In the end, the Portuguese made a penalty kick in person, rewriting the score to one to two.

This goal also allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to surpass Zlatan Ibrahimovic again in the Champions League scorer list.

After pulling back a goal, Real Madrid's morale was like a rainbow, and they frantically attacked Southampton's goal.

There was a sudden panic in front of Southampton's gate.

Fortunately, Neuer's command was determined and he staged key saves many times. Although Varane's foul led to a penalty, his performance was quite stable, plus an equally stable Harvey Martinez.

Although Southampton has endured huge offensive pressure, it has repeatedly resolved the crisis and tried to keep the goal!

Stabilizing the defense and supporting Real Madrid's indiscriminate bombing, Southampton began to look for opportunities to counterattack.

In the 83rd minute of the second half, Toni Kroos made a diagonal pass in his own half and distributed the ball to the right.

Sanchez, who came on as a substitute for Suarez, received the ball on the right, quickly dribbled the ball forward, cut to the right side of the penalty area and made a pass.

Unexpectedly, the pass was a bit too big!

Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, Kaka suddenly rushed up from behind, shook his head at the incoming ball, and pushed the ball back to the middle.

I saw that even though Pepe and Ramos pulled left and right, Ibrahimovic still rushed out of the crowd, faced the incoming ball, and directly shot with anger, blasting the ball into Casili The goal guarded by Yas.

Three to one!

At the moment when the ball entered the net with his own eyes, the Swedish center clenched his fists and screamed like a ferocious beast!

The Swedish center's goal not only helped him tie Cristiano Ronaldo in the scorer list, but also completely dispelled Real Madrid's fighting spirit to continue to counterattack.

It is almost impossible to score two goals in less than ten minutes!
