Chapter 488
Chapter 488
Although Villarreal advanced to the quarter-finals with an away goal, that was because of Inter Milan's lack of strength. Among the three Serie A teams, Inter Milan was suppressed all the year round, and with Li Yi's move in, Samuel was also left behind by Li Yi in Real Madrid. Ajiren is definitely the top central defender in today's football.
The subsequent performance of Villarreal also proved Li Yi's conjecture. After retreating, Villarreal did not intend to attack at all, and made the first substitution decision at No. 60 minutes.
Jose Mari was replaced by Josico, and the change was 451, and this substitution showed more than Pellegrini's attitude towards this game, increasing the control of the midfield.
Li Yi didn't really care much about this. Pellegrini put the bet on the home court, but Li Yi didn't think that Pellegrini, who was playing at home, could stop Real Madrid's attack.
In his own home court, Li Yi had some scruples. If the opponent scored a goal, the opponent would return to the home court to guard against death in the second round, which would make the game very difficult.
Facing the bus tactics, Li Yi can only bet on the illusory luck and the personal ability of the players, even if they are as strong as Ronaldo, they may be drowned in the crowd.
At that time, Li Yi, the capital of football development, hadn't really developed a tactic to break the bus tactics. Although Li Yi had always been lucky, he was unwilling to gamble on a final.
No, in fact, it's not that there are no tactics to crack the bus tactics. Li Yi once read a novel that a strong center forward can crack it, but in reality there are such centers out there.
Although Real Madrid had some scruples, they still played impressively offensively. This is something that is deeply rooted in the honor of Real Madrid, and even Li Yi couldn't change it.
No.60 In two minutes, Real Madrid completed another shot, which was still split from the middle. Figo broke through along the side, but Figo missed the cross this time.
Owen pulled the side and made a collision with Figo. The Portuguese veteran went straight into the penalty area and shot from a small angle when facing the rushing defensive player.
Although the angle of "Barbosacorner kick" was small, Figo still hit it within the range of the goal frame, but because the angle was too small, Barbosa had almost nothing wrong with it.
Five minutes later, Villarreal made a counterattack. Riquelme sent the most threatening shot of the game, and sent a direct pass near the center circle. This direct pass almost penetrated the entire defense of Real Madrid.
"RiquelmeAccurate direct passFranThis is Villarreal's best chance in the second half." Uruguayan Ramos entered Real Madrid's penalty area.
"SamuelNoToo far awaySamuel is at least two positions away from Fran." I have to say that Riquelme's direct pass was not only accurate, but also very sudden.
"OpportunityThis is Forlan's opportunityA chance to become a hero of Villarreal." At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are focused on the Uruguayan.
In the quarter-finals, Forlan was the hero of Villarreal's advancement. In Meazza, Forlan scored this goal in just 47 seconds of the opening. It was also with this away goal that Villarreal broke into the semi-finals.
"ShootingOhNoFranCasillasSaint Igor Amazing Real Madrid goalkeeper" However, in this duel, the final victory is the goalkeeper.
There was no problem with Fran's shot. With a strong shot, the ball flew against the lawn and flew into the left foot of the goal, but it was such a near-dead shot that was unexpectedly saved by Casillas.
"Saint Igor" At this moment, the Bernabeu has only one voice.
Lost and excited, this moment was in stark contrast. After saving Fran's shot, Casillas enjoyed the support of his teammates and the cheers of the fans, but not far from Casillas, Fran covered his face with his hands.
"Forlan's shot has no problemI dare to swear, if the goalkeeper is changed, it will definitely be a wonderful goal, and Casillas may not even be able to save it again."
But it is a pity that there is no if in this world, and there is no chance to do it again. If you pounce, you will pounce. At this moment, Casillas is the real winner.
On the sidelines, the coaches of both sides rushed out. Pellegrini went from excitement to disappointment. Although he placed his bets on the second round, if he could score an away goal, his chances of advancing would undoubtedly increase a lot, just like the quarter-finals.
On the other hand, Li Yi felt like he had narrowly escaped death. If Fran scored the goal, Real Madrid's future would be difficult. So at this moment, Li Yi really rushed to the stadium to kiss Casillas.
If one survives, there will be future fortunes?It's a pity that Real Madrid didn't have any luck this time, and Real Madrid, who had lingering fears, became more cautious in attacking, and then Li Yi also used up the first substitution spot of the game.
Raul replaced Ronaldo. This substitution looked like a match-up substitution, but in fact Raul didn't play as a striker when he came on the field. He would retreat a little bit and play as a nine and a half to increase ball control. In fact, Li Yi always thought that Raul was more suitable to play a nine and a half. In fact, Raul often played like a nine and a half.
Following Li Yi's substitution, Real Madrid's rhythm began to slow down, and the field became extremely harmonious, even so harmonious that the two sides did not take a single shot in the next 10 minutes.
I have to say that Villarreal's defense in this game was very good. Even though Arzu got a yellow card at the beginning, Senna's outstanding performance made up for Arzu's yellow card.
And the problem that Li Yi had been looking forward to did not appear. Senna's physical fitness was indeed average, but in this game Senna spent most of the time defending in the backcourt, and his physical consumption was far less than imagined.
And when the time passed 10 minutes, Pellegrini used up the second substitution of the game, Arzu replaced, and this substitution completely extinguished Li Yi's thoughts.
No. 707 minutes, Real Madrid ushered in the first shot in nearly 10 minutes, a long shot, from Beckham's insertion, in the pass back and forth, Beckham unknowingly rushed to the front of Villarreal's big penalty area.
No.803 minutes, Villarreal ushered in the last shot of the game, it was still a pass from Riquelme, but the shot was not Forlan, but Josico came off the bench.
Five minutes later, Real Madrid also ushered in the last shot of the game. Just like Villarreal's last shot, Real Madrid's shot was not threatening, and it was even a substitute player.
The Real Madrid captain made the only shot after coming off the bench. In the following time, both sides failed to form a shot, which means that the game was still 1:0 at the end.
