Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 273 The Competition Has Just Begun (Third Update, Please Vote for Me)
When the game entered the 70th minute, there were only 20 minutes left. Those spectators who came for the strong showdown between Real Madrid and Liverpool felt that they had been cheated by the media who liked to brag.
It has been more than seventy minutes, and the game is still 0:0, and there is no exciting and intense scene. There are currently only three yellow cards on the field, two for Real Madrid and one for Liverpool. It wasn't intense by any means.
The Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game were particularly miserable. They came to see Chen Yingxiong's performance, but Chen Yingxiong fell into Real Madrid's crowd tactics and was completely overwhelmed. There were not many outstanding performances.
Many people have to go to work early tomorrow morning. I was struggling in my heart, wondering if I should turn off the TV and go to sleep, but I was afraid that Chen Yingxiong would score just as he turned off the TV, wouldn't he miss a good show?
But if you don't go to bed and are shocked by the end of the game, what if it is a boring draw? Not only will you waste time, but you will also suffer from lack of sleep and affect tomorrow's work. Wouldn't it be even more unfair?
Just when they were struggling, the game itself helped them solve the problem.

In the 73rd minute, Liverpool got their fifth corner kick of the game.
The upper left corner of the screen immediately showed a comparison of the number of corner kicks between the two sides. Liverpool had five and Real Madrid had only one. This shows how conservative Real Madrid was in this game...
But so far being conservative has been effective.
Their conservatism prevented them from conceding a goal.
Of course, if they are still so conservative after losing the ball, then there is something wrong with Mourinho. I believe Mourinho will not make such a stupid mistake.
Corner kicks are an important means for Liverpool to score, because the header characteristics of Chen Yingxiong and Skrtel can be put into good use.
But in the previous four corner kicks, Liverpool did not get any good opportunities.
This time Carragher also joined in the fun. I plan to add one more point of contention. He went to grab the front spot and caught him by surprise.
Chen Yingxiong attracts the attention of all Real Madrid defensive players in the middle, and Skrtel is ambushing at the back point. If the first two points are missed, it is time for him to take action... no, he will take the lead.
Bale stood at the corner flag. He raised his right hand and extended a finger.
Liverpool players all know that this is a code, telling everyone to implement the No. 1 corner kick tactic, which is the pre-penalty point. Fight ahead.
After signaling to everyone, he kicked the football out.
Because it was a forward tactic, Bell's kick was not high, it was too high, and Carragher, who was in the front position, couldn't hit it...
But the corner kick he sent was a little too low...
Carragher didn't hit the ball. Instead, Khedira, who was defending at the front point, pushed the football out first!
After leaving, the football fell to Ozil's feet. The German midfielder had his back to the attacking direction. He did not turn around, but directly passed the football back to Di Maria on the wing. Di Maria won the ball and the football flew diagonally over Ozil's head. It fell to the middle of the midfield!
Benzema receives the ball. At the same time he completed his turn!
During Real Madrid's dazzling series of quick kicks, Cristiano Ronaldo had already burst in at high speed from the left wing.
Benzema turned around and dribbled the ball into Liverpool's half. At this time Ronaldo had just crossed the center line!
The commentators collectively raised their voices an octave: "This is Real Madrid's quick counterattack!"
"Real Madrid's best offensive method is here!"
※ ※ ※
Seeing this scene, Mourinho couldn't help but stand up from his seat.
Yes. This is indeed Real Madrid's best and favorite offensive method. Take advantage of the opponent's corner kick and press hard, even the central defender enters the penalty area, and hit the opponent's quick counterattack!
Real Madrid has often scored goals in this way!
Will it be the same this time...
※ ※ ※
In addition to the general, Liverpool only retains three people in the backcourt, one is the midfielder Inler, one is the left back Enrique, and the other is the right back Van der Wiel.
Two of these three people rushed towards Benzema who was dribbling the ball, and the other person also stayed in the ribs, paying close attention to Benzema and preventing Ronaldo from cutting into the ribs.
As long as they can force Benzema and retreat some distance, Ronaldo will have no threat on the wing. Even if Benzema passes the football to him, he can only pass the ball. If he wants to shoot directly, the angle is too small. .
As long as Benzema doesn't pass the ball at this moment...
Just thinking of this, Benzema decisively kicked the ball!
The football passed through the space between Van der Wiel and Inler and went straight to the left.
Ronaldo's legs were waving like hot wheels. He came up in a few swish steps and caught the football!
And it's not just as simple as catching it, he also takes advantage of the situation and moves the football inside!
"Ronaldo has received the ball! Liverpool's goal is in danger! This is Real Madrid's best chance of the game!"
※ ※ ※
Reina saw that Ronaldo had received the football and was going to hit the goal. Immediately there was some hesitation - should the ball be struck or not?
The attack seemed to be a little far away now. He was still far away from the penalty area. He was afraid that he would be lobbed by the opponent halfway.
If he doesn't attack, he won't be able to effectively block his shooting angle...
He only hesitated for a moment and finally decided to attack.
But as soon as he took two steps, he saw Ronaldo, who had not yet entered the penalty area, take a long shot!
The football drew an arc, passed around the hands of Reina, who jumped up hard, and headed towards the back of the goal. Then it hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the net...
"The ball...the ball went in!!!"
someone shouted.
※ ※ ※
The entire Anfield stadium was plunged into a chaotic din.
Some people were booing, some were cheering, some were sighing, and some were shouting curses.
Liverpool fell behind at their home ground!
This is something that many people didn't expect.
They feel that Liverpool may not be able to eliminate Real Madrid, but they are still capable of fighting it at their home court, and the possibility of scoring first is very high.
Who would have thought that Liverpool's "first goal" would not come for a long time, but in the 74th minute, Real Madrid took advantage of a corner kick to score a goal.
It doesn't get any worse than this!
Falling behind in the 74th minute, Liverpool only had ten minutes left...
※ ※ ※
"It's unbelievable! Real Madrid, who were suppressed throughout the game, took advantage of a quick counterattack to take the lead against Liverpool!"
"Ronaldo! Ronaldo!! Cristiano Ronaldo! He scored a golden away goal for Real Madrid! He also helped Real Madrid take the lead on the road!"
"This is Real Madrid's favorite and best way of attacking! Their quick counterattacks are invincible! Although Liverpool's offense is also known for its speed, it is still slightly inferior to Real Madrid!"
"From Khedira pushing the football to Ronaldo shooting the football into the goal, the whole process only takes twelve seconds! Real Madrid's fast attack is well-deserved! Liverpool is helpless in front of Real Madrid's quick counterattack!"
The commentators shouted excitedly.
※ ※ ※
Amid the excited shouts of the commentator, Liverpool fans held their heads and couldn't believe that after besieging Real Madrid for so long, their team was unexpectedly attacked by Real Madrid and fell behind...the opponent got a key away goal. , still leading in the total score.
The few Real Madrid fans cheered in their own stands.
After scoring the goal, Ronaldo waved his fist vigorously and screamed to the sky.
Although Real Madrid played very calmly and calmly in this game, but Chen Yingxiong slandered them before the game. It is fake that the Real Madrid players are not angry. It's just that Mourinho is at a higher level than Conte. He is the one. Correctly channeling the players’ anger.
At this moment, Ronaldo vented all the anger in his heart.
In addition, in the direct conversation with Chen Yingxiong, he finally gained the upper hand!
This was one of the reasons why he was so excited.
His teammates ran over to him and hugged him, and he calmed down a little.
※ ※ ※
Ronaldo was quiet and it was Mourinho's turn to perform.
He was also celebrating a goal. He celebrated his goal in a way that will be familiar to Liverpool fans... He put his finger to his mouth and made a "shut up" gesture.
He finally responded to the ubiquitous boos from Liverpool fans throughout the game!
This action is very familiar to Liverpool fans - Mourinho once led the team to defeat Liverpool in the League Cup when he was coaching Chelsea. At that time, he made such a celebration, which attracted Liverpool fans. their protests and anger.
Now that he has made such an action again, this is provocation, a naked provocation - we are leading at your home court, what can you do to me?
Sure enough, after he made this move, the Liverpool fans near the Chelsea coaching bench stood up from their seats, pointed at Mourinho below and shouted angrily.
But as Chen Yingxiong said, the insults and boos from the enemy will never threaten people with strong hearts, but will only become the motivation to inspire their fighting spirit. Of course Chen Yingxiong is a man with a strong heart, and so is Mourinho...
※ ※ ※
Chen Yingxiong stood in the center circle with his hands on his hips, waiting for the kick-off to resume.
For this lost ball, he did not hold his head with his hands like his teammates, looking very painful and regretful.
Cristiano Ronaldo challenged him with this goal and he accepted the challenge. Now he has his sights set on the Real Madrid goal.
There was not much time left, but for him, it was enough!
Anfield's old commentator Steve Hutson saw Chen Yingxiong's determined expression on the monitor.
He shouted to all the Liverpool fans who could hear his voice: "Don't give up! The game officially starts now!"
