Chapter 145

Real Madrid's offense is very efficient, they all take the ball with one kick, and they can quickly enter Arsenal's penalty area.

"Arsenal don't let Real Madrid play so smoothly. The most important thing is that their offense has not created a threat. If they continue to play like this, they may lose suspense." Zhan Jun felt a little worried.

Director Zhang said: "Arsenal's new midfielder Foss is a talented player, but I don't know why, he rarely goes to the right to cooperate with the equation. I think it may be that they are a little unclear about the opponent. The way of playing. If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult for Arsenal to win against Real Madrid”

The game came to No.203 minutes.

When Thomas was in Atletico Madrid in La Liga, he often played against Real Madrid's three midfielders, so he knew the opponent's strength very well.

So, Thomas got the ball again this time, he decisively made a long pass to find Martinelli on the left,
This is to avoid the opponent's midfield fight with a long pass.Otherwise, Arsenal has been unable to pose a threat to Real Madrid's penalty area.

Martinelli unloaded the long ball beautifully, and he dribbled towards the wing.

Carvajal has been closely in front of him to prevent him from breaking through the cross.

Martinelli saw that there was no space in front of him, so he had to force a cross.

Carvajal sticks out his foot and blocks the football from the baseline.

Martinelli takes a corner.

This is also a last resort, because Martinelli has already chosen to go to the bottom. If they can't even get a corner kick, then their attack this time is a complete failure.
Foss ran over and asked for a free throw, but the route of his free throw was too close to the goal, and the goalkeeper easily shot the football.

Let their corner kicks fail,

As a result, Modric on the periphery got the ball again.

Fortunately, the equations were very close, so he quickly stretched out his hand and decisively pulled Modric in place, which prevented Real Madrid from making a quick counterattack.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and then he walked over and pointed a finger at Fang Fang, as if saying something.

Seeing this scene, Director Zhang sighed and said, "Feng made a foul, and he almost got a yellow card. This is the referee's verbal warning to him. If there is another time, he must play a card."

Zhan Jun said: "Equation has played so far and has not received a yellow card in the Champions League. I hope it will not come too soon. Although the current situation is not good for Arsenal, they have only had one decent long-range shot until now. "

"However, there are still more than 70 minutes in the game, they can't play too impatiently, they should be more patient."

However, the fact is that seeing that the score has not been equalized, there is no way to get Real Madrid's defense, and the players on the field are also in a hurry.

Arsenal's lineup is still very young, and this is the first time many young people have played in the Champions League knockout rounds.

Compared with the old monsters of Real Madrid, Arsenal is indeed a little immature.

Head coach Wenger frowned on the sidelines, walking back and forth with some anxiety.

The psychological pressure of the head coach can be seen completely.

At this time, Arsenal launched an attack again, and Real Madrid's formation was still ready.

Individual players have become impatient and no longer have the patience to teach football.

Lacazette came out of the penalty area, passed the ball back to Foss, and then rushed into the penalty area, meaning to help him with the ball.

However, Foss didn't make the ball. He got the ball and kicked another long shot.

There are many people in the penalty area, which have blocked the shooting angle.

This shot was directly blocked.

Seeing this scene, Wenger immediately became a little angry. He yelled Foss's name and pointed to his feet, as if to say stop wasting the ball.

Fox's face was a little silent, as if he heard the coach's call, he nodded to the sidelines.

"Arsenal can no longer waste offense like this, or they will be punished. They have to play more patiently, because opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."

"Real Madrid deserves to be the team that has won the most Champions League trophies. They played very experienced, especially taking the lead in scoring an away goal."

"Equation has been unable to get support on the right side, he should take the initiative to think of a way."

Fang Fang wanted to take the initiative to go to the midfield to help the team, but as soon as he came back, the ball was snatched by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid attacked again.

Benzema and Modric know Arsenal's midfielder Thomas very well.

It's like Thomas knows them.

Benzema clung up to interfere with Thomas, and Modric rushed over immediately and poked the football out first.

Thomas was very anxious, using both hands and feet, trying to snatch the football back.However, after Modric cooperated with Benzema, he made a direct pass to find Rodrigo in the ribs of the penalty area.

Saliba hurriedly sacrificed himself to block Rodrigo's shot angle.

In this regard, Rodrigo did not shoot again, he kicked an inverted triangle pass back.

I saw Cross rushing up from behind. He faced the football and slammed it with a kick.

The football flew a small arc close to the ground and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper didn't react at all, and saw the football fly into the goal.

"Oh no!"

"Real Madrid once again played a quick counterattack! They have studied Thomas very clearly and know how to target Arsenal's midfielder core!"

"Modric delivers the crucial through ball!"

"Hazard and Kroos are going forward fast, is Rodrygo going to hit the goal?"

"No, he found Cross in an inverted triangle—"

"The score is 0:2! Real Madrid leads by 2 goals!"

"Arsenal are in danger, they conceded two goals at home!"

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Zhan Jun was surprised.

I saw that the linesman raised a small flag, indicating that Real Madrid's attack was offside.

Director Zhang couldn't help but rejoiced and said: "It should be offside, Modric's pass is very accurate, but Rodrigo started ahead of time, I think it is offside."

The referee started to communicate with var.

The entire Arsenal team couldn't help but pray in their hearts, this goal must not be effective, otherwise they will go to the Bernabéu Stadium in the second round, and the hope of advancing will become almost slim.

There is no guarantee that they will score three goals at the Bernabeu.

Subsequently, the referee blew his whistle to indicate that Rodrygo was offside and the goal was invalidated.

There was a burst of applause and sighs throughout the stadium.Arsenal survived!
The score is 1:0!

Rodrigo couldn't help showing a wry smile, and everyone would be speechless when encountering a body hair-level offside.

"Hold on, we'll definitely score!"

At this moment, Wenger felt as if he had been reborn, and he shouted excitedly to the disciples on the field.

Only those who have experienced despair can understand how rare it is to still have hope.

This time, Arsenal went on the offensive with the determination to score.

Ben White came up to the edge, and Thomas quickly passed the ball to find him.

Ben White didn't dare to take an extra step, and immediately sent a key pass.

The football almost rolled to the right side of Real Madrid close to the sideline.

The equation didn't waste a pass from a teammate,
He received the ball and passed Real Madrid's right back in an instant!

Without hesitation, pass directly!
Ronaldo took Martinelli to the back point,
However, Foss did not pass the football away, he chose to grab the shot himself.

The football hit Militao's feet, changed direction, and rolled out of the baseline against the far post.

The audience sighed again.

"Why is it so difficult for us to score?"

"Why not miss it? Obviously Martinelli's position is better!"

"The situation was very urgent just now. I didn't notice the situation behind. It's actually normal."

Arsenal get another corner.

However, after the corner kick was taken, the football was pushed out by Real Madrid's central defender.

Ronaldo controlled the football on the outside and wanted to continue to attack.

However, Real Madrid's formation maintained a high degree of consistency. They quickly pressed out of the penalty area and resolutely launched a grab.

This momentum is very oppressive.

Arsenal had no chance to attack again, they could only pass back all the way, passing the football back to the goalkeeper's feet.

"The first half is almost over! The score is still 0:1, Arsenal want to score, but the situation is very difficult"

"Real Madrid is a club that has experienced many battles, and their strength is very strong. Professor Wenger has figured out how to lead the young Arsenal to the quarter-finals."

"Is the equation returning to the center to organize the attack? Or is Saka coming off the bench to play on the right? Or defending the score and going to the away game to fight to the death, this is a difficult choice for the head coach"

As the referee blew his whistle,

The first half of the game is over.

Zidane was obviously satisfied with the team's performance. He put his hands in his pockets and walked into the stadium channel calmly.

Wenger kept communicating with Arteta, talking about the adjustments in the second half.

The stats for the first half were that Arsenal had 54% of the possession, four shots on goal and zero goals.

The conversion rate of this shot is very low.

Real Madrid only had three shots on goal but scored two.

Back in the locker room, Wenger kept emphasizing the penetration of short passes, speed up the running, and stop shooting.

If his physical strength is exhausted, he will naturally make substitutions and adjustments.

Time passed quickly, and the two teams returned to the field.

At the beginning of the second half, the ball was on Arsenal's side. They accelerated the pass and wanted to play a wave of fast attacks against Real Madrid.

However, they ignored the intensity of Real Madrid's confrontation.Zidane obviously emphasized during the intermission that the team cannot play too gentlemanly. This is a Champions League knockout match, and the opponent must know the intensity of the game.

Casemiro rushed up, dribbled the ball and kicked Foss to the ground.
The referee did not say anything, thinking that Casemiro touched the football first.

Immediately, Real Madrid launched a quick attack, and the football quickly passed the midfield. Benzema, Hazard, Rodrigo, and Modric formed a sharp triangular arrow straight into Arsenal's hinterland.

"Arsenal are all about passing the ball and want to speed up the opening attack"

"No, Casemiro's steal, Arsenal are in danger!"

"Real Madrid split the ball from the wing, how do they cooperate?"

I saw that amidst the boos of the audience, Rodrigo charged with the ball from the wing and saw that the goalkeeper had stopped
Rodrigo decisively swept the football into the middle,
Benzema charged towards the path of the pass, but instead of shooting, he gave way to Modric behind him.

Modric received the ball. He pretended to shoot vigorously, and after deceiving the central defender and goalkeeper in front of him, he actually flicked the ball, entered the penalty area, and volleyed with all his strength.

The football crossed the penalty spot and went into the goal in an instant.

The score is 0:2, Real Madrid leads by two goals!

The referee did not call offside this time, and pointed to the center circle line, the goal is valid!

This time, the entire Real Madrid team came to the corner to celebrate the goal, and the Arsenal fans in the stands did not jeer any more.

The score is already two goals behind, even if it is placed in the league, it can already be said that there is no hope of winning.

What's more, it is now the Champions League knockout round, and Real Madrid has two away goals.

"Arsenal wanted to start a fast break, but Real Madrid played a fast attack. They have now fallen into the most dangerous situation."

"Real Madrid has taken the opportunity to advance. What Arsenal can do now is to hold the score and see if there is a chance to win back a goal later."

"They can't lose the ball now!" Zhan Jun said with a heavy tone.

And Wenger didn't hesitate any longer, and then made substitution adjustments, Xhaka replaced and Ronaldo replaced.

Subsequently, Real Madrid's formation came forward, trying to make Arsenal's frontcourt fall into an offside trap.

In 8 minutes, Equation got the ball again and cut inside.

People in Real Madrid dare not foul him, they all know that this man has a sharp free kick technique.

Equation selflessly sent a through kick at the top of the arc, but the football was eventually missed by Lacazette.

Immediately afterwards, Real Madrid launched a fast break against Arsenal again, and Xhaka could only bring Modric down in midfield.

As soon as he played, he was immediately warned by the referee with a yellow card.

Fang Fang went up and wanted to persuade the referee.

The referee shook his head and ruthlessly refused, "Please concentrate on the game"

Equation sighed a bit.Xhaka got a yellow card before he kicked out the role, the situation is already a bit grim
"It's okay, I can defend Modric!" Xhaka said confidently when he came over.

Equation nods.hope so
However, after Xhaka came up, his defensive strength is still there. As long as he doesn't kick the midfielder, he can still play a role in sweeping the midfield.

"The role of Xhaka is obvious. Although some small fouls are used, this is also part of football. The boys at Arsenal still need to be like Xhaka. They play too clean. Even the giants Real Madrid, they also use it. This tactic."

but,

Real Madrid will not be afraid of confrontation, they can compete with Atletico Madrid in La Liga,
Now facing Arsenal, which is known for its technology,
It can only be said that the little witch sees the big witch
Moreover, Arsenal has undergone a major change this season, and few of them have experienced the battle between the Europa League and Atletico Madrid in the past year.

Director Zhang still remembers last year's UEFA Europa League match, and sighed: "Arsenal's current results are pretty good, but now they are facing the most severe test of the year. Real Madrid is the immediate difficulty. If they want to To win the Champions League trophy, you need to really grow up."

Zhan Jun agreed and said: "Yes, why did Arsenal win the Europa League last year? It is precisely because they are united, not afraid of strong enemies, and constantly learn lessons from the game. Now this brand new Arsenal team , obviously lack of experience.”

"Of course, they still have veteran players like Leno, Xhaka, Equation and Lacazette. I believe Arsenal will recover soon."

"I hope so. Everyone has high expectations of them." Director Zhang sighed.

Soon, Casemiro also received a yellow card after a fierce confrontation with Xhaka in midfield.

It can be seen that the referee today's penalty is quite fair.

There is no favoritism to either side of the game, at best a certain degree of physicality is allowed.

No.603 minutes, Kroos diverted the ball in a wide range and found Hazard on the left side of the frontcourt.

Hazard volleyed a long shot from the left corner of the penalty area.

Seeing that his teammates have scored goals today, Hazard is also eager to prove himself.

Moreover, he was crushed badly by Arsenal when he was at Chelsea last year, and now Hazard really wants to avenge himself
However, goalkeeper Leno blocked the ball desperately, leaned back, and blocked Hazard's excellent shot.

Azar was stunned for a moment, can he pounce like this?
There was a bang in the audience, and the fans applauded for Leno's perfect save.

Everyone can see that Arsenal has not given up the game on the field.

Zidane was also applauding on the sidelines, I don't know if he was applauding Hazard's shot or Leno's save.

But soon, he also made substitution adjustments, Hazard replaced, Vinicius replaced.

Seeing the substitution number plate on the sidelines, Hazard fell silent on the spot, and then walked to the sidelines step by step.

The equation was almost speechless, so he hurried over and asked the old man to get out of the game quickly.

They are still in a hurry to get a goal back.
As a result, Hazard waved his hand unhappily, as if he was bored with each other.

In this regard, the entire Arsenal team was like a pile of hay. They were anxious to get back a goal, but seeing Hazard's rude behavior, everyone was instantly ignited.

"What do you mean, you don't want to end, let's fight!"

"Keep your moves clean, Hamburger."

Soon, the entire Arsenal team surrounded Hazard and launched a fierce attack.

And Real Madrid is a bit lacking in confidence. After all, it was Hazard who provoked the incident first. They can only protect Hazard first.
"Beep-"

"Beep--"

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

The players on the bench also came to persuade the fight, but fortunately, everyone was a little anxious and no conflict broke out.

The referee saw the scene just now, and then showed Hazard a yellow card.

In this regard, Hazard was naturally very unconvinced, and walked off the court cursing.

However, the violent Xhaka couldn't listen to these words, he immediately rushed towards Hazard's back, really wanting to have a fight.

Fortunately, the recent Ben White and Equation hugged Xhaka, which did not magnify the matter.
"Hazard is a little angry. It can be seen that he is facing a lot of pressure in Real Madrid. Many fans are questioning his professionalism. He wants to prove himself, but unfortunately he can't get back to his previous state." Zhan Jun Also said with some regret.

After all, Hazard's previous playing style has indeed attracted the attention of many people.

At that time, many people believed that he would definitely become the third person in the world.
The game is still going on,

Vinicius is also a young man. He comes from Samba football. He is very fast and has excellent dribbling.

After he came up, it was obvious that he wanted to continue to play Arsenal's quick counterattack.

Vinicius' ability to threaten the goal is obviously much stronger than that of Hazard.

In this way, Arsenal's defensive pressure becomes even heavier.

Full-back Ben White, he doesn't dare to put on the side at will, he must always pay attention to the space behind him, otherwise, if he is not careful, he will be pierced by Vinicius in an instant.

As a result, the equation lacked the support of Ben White in the frontcourt.

He can only figure out how to break through Real Madrid's defensive targets.

At this time, Wenger made another substitution adjustment, Lacazette replaced, and Harland replaced.

It was a routine substitution and it didn't improve Arsenal's defensive pressure as Lacazette was clearly unable to run.

After their formation came out of the attack, with the exhaustion of physical strength and spirit, many times they could only use tactical fouls to prevent Real Madrid from counterattacking.

Fosse went to the left again and played with Martinelli.

However, many people had already gathered on the left, and the space became very narrow.

Modric intercepted the ball and immediately sent a diagonal pass to the left.

Vinicius quickly ran out of the single-handed ball.

His speed is so fast that Ben White has no time to return to defense.

Fortunately, Leno made another key save.

He almost made a split with his legs, and blocked Vinicius's pocket shot with his toes.

Saliba who came back was so frightened that he quickly kicked the football to the front field.

The game has come to No.80 minutes,

The equation looked down, and he returned to the middle to catch the ball many times in a row.

There is no point in staying on the right any longer.

The teammates obviously trusted him more than Foss. After seeing him coming, football came immediately.

This time, Fang Fang received the ball with his back and turned quickly.

Seeing that there were almost all people in front of him, his foot frequency was very fast, he didn't get up in a hurry, and moved out, as if he was going to continue walking.

Casemiro who jumped out was deceived!

Equation's dribbling was very neat, dialing outside and buckling inside, and continued to rush into the middle.

Harland, who was about to drive forward, immediately stopped the car, and in the next second, he saw a football coming from the equation.

At this moment, the two formed a tacit understanding.

Fang Fang passed the ball, accelerated into the penalty area, and went straight to the gap in front of him!

Harland tapped his heel, and the football instantly passed through the gap between Militao and Varane, and rolled to the right rib of the penalty area.

The equation gets the ball first!

Varane turned around, stepped over with his thigh, and hurriedly tried to block the shooting space of the equation.

But it's too late,

Fang did not volley close to the ground. He kicked his right foot hard and hit the bottom of the football vigorously.

The football was in a straight line, and with a crisp sound, it crashed into the crossbar in an instant!

Explosive shot!

The goalkeeper Courtois didn't react at all, and stretched out his hands instinctively.

He only felt as if a strong wind flew in front of him, and then the whole stadium shook instantly.

Varane fell to the ground, looked up at the goal, and felt that this was too unreasonable
Why didn't you volley close to the ground?Just so confident and shoot directly? !
"pretty!--"

"Bang shot! That's really confident!"

"The goal was scored and Arsenal pulled it back. There are still 10 minutes left in the game!"
