Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Chapter 317: Another blitzkrieg, Real Madrid doesn't have much time left
Real Madrid replaced Higuain with Cassano at the beginning of the second half, thus using up two of Real Madrid's three substitutions.

But it seems that the substitutions did not bring good luck to Real Madrid, and instead they encountered Inter Milan's blitzkrieg again!
Just 22 seconds into the second half, Inter Milan scored again!
After Torres kicked off, he passed the ball back to Lin Feng. Lin Feng waited for a moment, and after the opponent pounced on him, he broke away on the spot and sent a long pass over the top to find Crespo who was making a forward run.

Crespo's stop was very beautiful, and his shot was also of high quality.

Casillas reacted quickly and blocked the ball with his legs.

However, Real Madrid's crisis was not resolved. The ball blocked by Casillas fell right in front of Torres, who accepted the gift with a smile and easily shot into the goal.

The score became 2:0, and the total score was 4:2!

Capello had just sat down and immediately jumped up from the coaching seat when he saw the ball. His expression was extremely ugly!
What happened today?
The opponent stole a goal at the beginning of the first half and lost another one in the second half!
They stumbled over the same stone twice!

All the Inter Milan fans at the scene were crazy with joy. The two goals the team scored today made them feel very surprised and even delighted.

"Whoever came up with the idea to steal the show's opening scene must be a genius!"

"How come the Real Madrid players don't learn their lesson? They conceded a goal in the first half, and yet they are still so lax in the second half!"

"Galaxy Battleship is so unlucky today!"

Inter Milan’s fans were laughing, while Real Madrid’s fans were in tears.

This kind of goal loss really hurts morale, and after the opponent expanded the score, Real Madrid's difficulty in advancing increased further.

If they want to advance directly at this time, they must score three goals in a row in the next game!

Scoring two goals can only tie the score, and both sides will have to play overtime or even a penalty shootout!

Whether it is two goals or three goals, it will be a very difficult thing for Real Madrid in their current state - they haven't scored a goal yet!

Even the most optimistic Spanish commentator was no longer optimistic after seeing this goal:

"Real Madrid is in terrible shape today. If they want to advance, they can only hope for a miracle!"

Fans who were watching the games between Real Madrid and Barcelona were disappointed after seeing the score of Real Madrid 0:2, and couldn't help but turn their eyes to Barcelona!

However, Barcelona's performance was not much better. Barcelona, ​​who had greater offensive pressure than Real Madrid, also had a very difficult time playing away from home and have not scored a goal so far!

But the good news is that Liverpool did not score any goals, and the total score between the two sides is still 2:1. Barcelona is one goal behind and two away goals behind. If they want to advance, they must score two goals in the next time!
There was only half time left in the game for both sides, and it was extremely difficult to score at least two goals in such a short time.

Barcelona's side is not so bad. Liverpool's defense is not as hopeless as Inter Milan's. Barcelona has found many opportunities during this period, and the hope of scoring is still very great.

But looking at Real Madrid, even its fans don’t know what excuses to use to comfort themselves at this time!

Real Madrid’s attack really makes people see no hope!
Conceding a goal at the start of the game made all the work Capello did in the locker room go to waste.

The game once again entered the stage where Inter Milan was beating Real Madrid!
In the 47th minute, Inter Milan, with high morale, played a wonderful series of passes in the frontcourt. Finally, Crespo received a pass from Figo on the right side of the penalty area and shot the ball, which hit the side net of Real Madrid's goal.

From the visual effect, it looked very much like the ball had gone in. Many fans who didn't see it clearly started celebrating. Only when they found out that the ball hadn't gone in did they realize that they had been celebrating in vain.

In the 50th minute, Vieira intercepted the ball in the midfield and Inter Milan made another wonderful pass.

The ball passed through Lin Feng and Torres and then to Crespo's feet, but unfortunately the Argentine's volley was too high.

In the 52nd minute, Figo successfully broke through the wing and then made a cross from the right. This time, Torres did not pass the ball to Crespo after receiving it, but directly shot from a small angle on the left. He wanted to shoot the ball through the crotch, but unfortunately the goalkeeper saw through it and the ball was blocked out of the baseline.

After the start of the second half, it was Inter Milan that was attacking while Real Madrid was being beaten.

In the 53rd minute, it was finally Real Madrid's turn to counterattack!

Newly-come Cassano passed the ball in the middle, Raul made a cross from the left, and Van Nistelrooy's header on the edge of the small penalty area was saved by Cesar.

Having missed the opportunity, Van Nistelrooy kicked the goal post in frustration.

But this cannot be blamed on him. In fact, Van Nistelrooy's shot was handled very well. It's a pity that Cesar's reaction speed was too fast and he even saved such a header. It's amazing!
The offense was unfavorable and the defense was under tremendous pressure.

The mentality of the Real Madrid players on the field began to get a little impatient!
In the 55th minute, Elguera committed a foul in the backcourt, tackled Crespo from behind and received a yellow card.

This had nothing to do with Guti, but I don't know what was wrong with Guti's brain. He had to run to the referee and keep talking, as if he was complaining about Inter Milan's players diving.

The referee didn't tolerate him and warned him with a yellow card.

Although the referee of this game is not a card master, he is not the type with a lenient enforcement style either.

So far in the game, he has shown a total of 5 yellow cards to both teams, including 3 to Real Madrid.

Although not too many, Real Madrid's several yellow cards were on key defensive players, which is not good news for them.

After that, Inter Milan reduced the number of troops deployed in the attack, but still created many opportunities, making Real Madrid's goal always in a state of panic and holding their breath!

In the 59th minute, Grosso assisted. After Torres received the pass from his teammate on the left, he aimed at the near corner of the goal, but his intention was seen through by Casillas and the ball was firmly held by Casillas.

One minute later, Maicon also attacked, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and passed it horizontally to the middle. Lin Feng used a beautiful cross-kick to send the ball into the penalty area.

Crespo's handling method was very artistic. He stepped on the ball with the sole of his foot to make it bounce, and then he shot it with the outside of his foot. Unfortunately, the ball went wide of the goal frame. It would have been very cool if the ball had gone in.

Seeing that the opposing players had already started playing, Capello felt angry and anxious.

He kept looking down at the time, his anxiety evident on his face!
There is not much time left for Real Madrid!
After 60 minutes, Inter Milan's formation began to retreat and no longer besieged Real Madrid's goal as before.

This allowed Real Madrid to finally catch their breath and organize an attack.

But after the experience of the first half, Inter Milan focused on limiting Guti's performance and did not give him the opportunity to pass the ball.

Guti's through pass is one of the few tricks that Real Madrid can use to penetrate Inter Milan. Inter Milan does this to force Real Madrid to attack from the wing.

Attacks from the flanks may not necessarily pose a threat, but Inter Milan's defense has the advantage of height. As long as they strengthen the protection of the flanks and the front of the penalty area, and do not give the opponent the opportunity to cut in from the flanks and cooperate in the frontcourt, forcing the opponent to cross from the bottom, it will be difficult to break through the interception of Inter Milan's central defender.

Moreover, if Real Madrid launches an attack from the wing, their full-backs will have to press forward.

In this way, Real Madrid's flanks will be empty, and Inter Milan can use their own tactics to retaliate and launch an attack along Real Madrid's empty flanks.

Capello saw that this was a trap, so he didn't jump into it. He asked Van Nistelrooy and Raul to press forward between the opponent's back line and midfield, and seize the opportunity of the opponent's pass to oppress and press the opponent, as if he wanted to use this method to find the opportunity of Inter Milan's mistakes to launch a counterattack.

In addition, in positional warfare, he also let Ramos move forward and actively participate in the attack.

In addition to his excellent heading ability, Ramos also has a good long shot.

In the 04th round of La Liga in the 05-36 season, Ramos used a powerful long-range shot to successfully break through Casillas' defense and help Sevilla tie the then star-studded Galacticos.

It is said that it was because of this goal that Real Madrid's president Florentino made up his mind to bring him to the Bernabeu!
But unfortunately, Ramos tried a few kicks as arranged by the coach, but all of them missed the target.

When he continued to ask for the ball, he found that his teammates ignored him and stopped passing the ball to him.

With such shooting skills, it would be better to pass the ball to Raul and let him take a long shot!
Raul's long-range shots are actually quite good, but he prefers to bring the ball into the penalty area to resolve the battle because this will be more certain!

Time passed by, and the score was still 2:0.
Real Madrid tried hard for ten minutes but still failed to score a goal.

Many Inter Milan fans felt relieved after seeing this scene. They didn’t dare to say it before, but now they all feel that the game is a sure win.

"It looks like Real Madrid can't create a miracle. The game time is about to reach 70 minutes. There is really not much time left for them!"

"Even if we can't create a miracle, we have to score at least one goal. If we don't score any goal, it's too ugly!"

"Including this year, Real Madrid has been eliminated in the round of 16 for three consecutive times, right?"

"Yes, after losing to Juventus, Arsenal and now Inter Milan, Real Madrid's performance is really getting worse every year!"

Real Madrid’s previous poor performance in the Champions League was criticized by some people, saying that Florentino’s superstar policy was not only short-sighted, but also made it difficult for Real Madrid to achieve results.

After all, before he took over the club, Real Madrid won two championships in three years and was the most competitive giants in Europe!
But after he built the Galacticos, Real Madrid only won one Champions League. After the alien Ronaldo and the heartthrob Beckham joined the team, the team's lineup completely lost balance and there was no chance of winning the Champions League again!
But now that Calderon has 'set things right', Real Madrid's record hasn't improved!

I don’t ask you to win the championship right away, but at least make some progress, right?

Why are we stuck in the round of 16?

After all, Real Madrid is the team that has won the most Champions League trophies in history. They reach the round of 16 every year. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it!

Just when Real Madrid was worrying about how to equalize the score, Barcelona had already scored a goal at Anfield.

In the 70th minute of the second half, Xavi assisted Gudjohnsen to score, and Barcelona changed the score to 1:0, with a total score of 2:2.
But Barcelona still has one less away goal than Liverpool. If the game ends with this score, the defending champion will be eliminated.

But after scoring a goal, Barcelona's morale boosted and they began to siege Liverpool.

Real Madrid fans were already upset when they saw their team's record, but when they thought that the defending champions would be eliminated along with them, they felt a lot better.

Real Madrid was also in the round of 16 last year. If they continue to be eliminated in the round of 16 this year, they will just be standing still. But Barcelona was the champion last year. If they are eliminated in the round of 16 this year, it will be a lot of fun!

And now you tell me that Barcelona is going to land! ?
In an instant, the world fell for Real Madrid fans!
"Come on Liverpool, beat Barcelona!"

The frustrated Real Madrid fans started cheering for Liverpool.

There are even more extreme people who would rather Real Madrid not advance than see Barcelona break through!
To put it in Chinese, seeing that grandson making money is more painful than losing money myself!

The game on the field continued, Real Madrid became more and more impatient, and fouls became more and more frequent.

Inter Milan also has a countermeasure: If you foul, I will lie on the grass to delay time. I am not in a hurry anyway!
It would be even better if the referee could award the other team a yellow card.

This strategy made Real Madrid lose their temper. Although the players on the field were very angry, they could only try their best to control their temper and avoid fouls.

Now they just hope that Inter Milan’s players have some shame and stop lying on the grass at every turn. Is it possible for them to play the game properly?
Inter Milan can certainly choose not to lie down, but I wonder if Real Madrid’s players can afford the price?

In the 75th minute of the second half, Zanetti made a cross from the left, Torres stopped the ball with his chest, and the ball hit Ramos' arm and bounced out of the baseline.

Torres and Crespo, who was closest to the player, immediately raised their hands to complain about the opponent's handball, but the referee turned a deaf ear to it and only awarded a corner kick instead of a penalty.

Crespo just shook his head helplessly when he saw this and did not argue with the referee because the opponent obviously did not want to give such a penalty and there was no point in arguing.

But the young and inexperienced Torres could not swallow this insult and rushed forward to argue with the referee, only to be warned with a yellow card.

Since Torres had already received two yellow cards in the group stage, he received another yellow card, which means he will miss the next game.

This is not good news for Inter Milan.

Mancini was speechless when he saw Torres applying for a yellow card himself on the sidelines, and he got it in this way.

We don’t even know who Inter Milan’s next opponent will be, and you’ve been suspended like this. Aren’t you afraid of causing the team to lose?

Fortunately, Inter Milan has an excellent substitute like Cruz on the front line, who can minimize the impact of Torres' yellow card. If there is no one available on the front line like AC Milan next door, then Mancini will have a headache!
Just as he was thinking about this, Torres redeemed himself with a goal!

Lin Feng took a corner kick from the right and passed the ball to the front point.

Torres suddenly shook off the Real Madrid player who was defending him, rushed to 7 meters in front of the goal and headed the ball into the goal.

The score became 3:0, Inter Milan completely secured the victory, and Torres himself scored twice!
