Chapter 971 At the Critical Moment, Ronaldo Accidentally Missed a Point

It’s not about how fast they run, but how unified and united their tactics are.

When Braga launched a long pass, the three forwards were already ready to go. This was not accidental, but inevitable, because this is how they counterattack. Otherwise, could Sevilla be killed by them?

Although Real Madrid was well prepared, they were still not prepared enough. The defense of wealthy teams is so bad. They always boast of their offensive ability, but they always lack a good idea on defense.

Marcelo originally pressed for the assist, but Matus's slash caught him off guard.

Matus, Alan, and Lima, opposite Pepe, Ramos, Carvajal, and Lima on the left to contain Carvajal. In fact, Matus and Alan face Pepe and Ramo at the same time. Sri Lanka. 2vs2, Matus did not play tricks in front of Pepe. As soon as Pepe came up, he chose to take action. Ramos on the right side of Pepe also leaned on Alan. He would never let Alan get the ball.

However, Matus is not passed to Karan!

Instead, it was passed behind Pepe.

Holy shit, what's going on? Pepe twisted his thick waist and the ball rolled past him.

Nima, it was passed to Brazilian Lima!

Carvajal, you hammer! Why didn't you keep an eye on Lima?

Real Madrid's defense was not in chaos, but it was always half a beat late. Carvajal did not keep an eye on Lima. Lima was originally holding him on the wing, but he didn't expect that Lima was deliberately cruising here. The moment Matus passed the ball, Lima rushed into the left side of Real Madrid's penalty area like lightning!

Without any adjustment at all, he just hit the goal with his right foot.

boom!

The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal!

Cleanly and without any sloppiness, Casillas pounced, but it was impossible for his right hand to reach the upper left corner. This was an area where it was impossible to save.

Beep!

The referee's finger pointed to the arc of the center circle, and the goal was valid.

Braga leads Real Madrid 1:0 at home.

The goal came so suddenly that even the Braga fans in the stands were stunned for a moment before letting out deafening cheers.

"Oh yeah yeah,

Orala. "

"Oyeye, Olala."

The 30,000 Braga home fans hummed happily. They enjoyed scoring in the 7th minute.

"Real Madrid? Oh, you're in trouble here."

"Chinese director, Ronaldo? You can't get any benefits here."

"Braga, we are the legend of Portugal!"

"Ten crowns, there is only one king here, and his name is Braga."

They were singing blindly in the stands, and they were very unified. It seemed that the Braga fans had been prepared for a long time. They had a premonition that Braga could score a goal, and they were too confident.

Buzzing, Marcelo, who was killed by Matus first, looked at Pepe and the others innocently, shook his head constantly, and then raised his hand to scratch his forehead.

Both Ramos and Pepe had expressionless faces, and they were probably cursing in their hearts. Carvajal, who was shaken off by Lima, slapped his legs feebly with both hands.

Casillas silently picked the ball out of the goal and threw it in front.

"Isn't it like this every time Real Madrid concedes a goal?"

"It's always a surprise."

"Every opportunity that is not an opportunity is delivered to the opponent like this. If you often watch Real Madrid games, you will find that Real Madrid always make such childish mistakes."

Morientes sighed and summed up the pattern of Real Madrid conceding goals.

"If the opponent is very weak, then there is no problem. After all, we can recover. But what if the opponent is very strong? Can Real Madrid still recover? For example, when playing against Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Bayern Munich, etc., once the opponent seizes the opportunity to score a goal, If you have a chance, you won't give it a chance to equalize the score. Now, Real Madrid is trailing 0:1 away from home."

Cristiano Ronaldo in front kept shaking his head and beeping something. Dong Fangzhuo just squinted his eyes and said nothing.

The cheating defense directly made the game more difficult for them. What can they do?

beep,

The game restarted and Ronaldo kicked the ball. Soon Braga's strikers pounced. Players who are not from wealthy teams are always more motivated to fight than those from wealthy teams, especially after taking a lead, they will play with more fighting spirit.

However, Real Madrid quickly took control of the situation in the backcourt and were not forced to panic by Braga's players. What kind of team is Real Madrid? It's impossible to be forced into a panic.

Modric and Alonso firmly controlled the rhythm and tone of the game in the midfield, with the latter dribbling the ball through the midfield and then passing the ball to Di Maria.

Di Maria continued to fake moves, changed directions, and then suddenly spiked the ball straight to the baseline. He passed the ball into Braga's penalty area with his left foot. Cristiano Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo grabbed the point one after another at the same time, but the landing point was still blocked. Robbed.

The attack came to nothing.

The ball fell at the feet of Braga midfielder Salino. Salino made a through ball and wanted to hit Ramos and behind Ramos. However, Ramos saw through his trick and moved in advance to intercept the ball.

"Braga's play is very simple, just a quick word. The three forwards are always ready to counterattack. Real Madrid's defense must be highly concentrated. The opponent may not have many chances to counterattack, but it is deadly."

Afterwards, the two sides were in a stalemate for nearly ten minutes, and neither side had any particularly good opportunities. Braga seemed to give up when things were good, and focused on defense. It was not a good offensive opportunity, so they did not take risks.

It wasn't until the 19th minute that Real Madrid had another good shooting opportunity. Ozil made a cross from the right to the center. After getting the ball, Alonso chose to shoot, but the ball went over the crossbar.

"It is said that there is no weak team in the Champions League, and Braga is definitely the biggest dark horse this season. Their tactical quality is much higher than that of Partizan Belgrade in the same group. Although they are at a disadvantage in possession of the ball, their defense is really good. Made watertight.”

"In fact, there is no problem in liberating Dong to the front line, but Real Madrid lacks a figure like Sneijder in the midfield. Ozil and Di Maria are actually very good on the wing, but he is not as good as Sneijder. His commanding temperament. Now it seems that Real Madrid should not let go of Sneijder last year. He is a guy who can create a spark of friendship with the Chinese director. Of course, Real Madrid wants to buy him back now, but he is unwilling. However, Sneijder is also having a hard time this season. After Dong came to Real Madrid, Eto'o filled his position, but now Inter Milan's offense is still not improving. Don't you think Benitez's life is so difficult now? ?”

The two sides fought increasingly fiercely in the midfield, fighting for every inch of ground. Absolute scoring chances are few and far between. Time passed quickly, and the first 30 minutes of the first half passed just like that.

Dong Fangzhuo began not to stick to the front line, but frequently retreated, leaving Ronaldo alone at the front.

But Braga immediately separated two players to stare at him, just like when they played against Mallorca in the first round of the season. Once Dong Fangzhuo became more flexible in his movement, two players from the opponent's team would stare closely at him.

However, Modric still resolutely passed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo. Isn't it common for Dong Fangzhuo to face two players with the ball at the same time?

After receiving the ball from Modric with his back, Dong Fangzhuo pulled the ball twice and feinted, finally making Ederson behind him confused. Dong Fangzhuo seized this opportunity and quickly turned to the left with the ball!

Salino didn't care about his teammates anymore and rushed to the left to grab position, but Dong Fangzhuo pulled and knocked the heel of his right foot exquisitely. The ball passed between Salino and Ederson. Dong Fangzhuo also turned around in time. They were about to rush into a collision.

"ah!"

Edson's thigh shook and he stretched out his leg to trip Dong Fangzhuo.

Beep!

A foul was committed and Real Madrid got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

28 meters away from the goal, in the middle of the penalty area.

"You come first?" Cristiano Ronaldo once again gave up the right to take the free kick. The two people now changed the way of taking the free kick. They took turns.

Dong Fangzhuo nodded and stood in front of the ball politely.

"Give it to Ronaldo, why don't you let it go?"

"It would be better for Cristiano Ronaldo to take the penalty."

Braga fans yelled from the sidelines and there was a commotion.

In their opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo's free throw accuracy is still a certain distance away from Dong Fangzhuo's. It would be more reassuring if Cristiano Ronaldo came to take the penalty.

"Messi! Messi! Messi!"

Messi's name was suddenly called from the sidelines.

"ha?"

Dong Fangzhuo himself was stunned.

Are Braga fans kidding me? Could calling Messi's name affect his free throw shooting mentality?

Calling him Dong Fangzhuo's name in front of Messi is not bad, but it's the other way around!

The wall is very tightly arranged, but Portuguese players are generally not very tall, leaving Dong Fangzhuo with enough shooting height.

boom,

He hit a falling ball, the arc was not very big, it happened to go over the wall, and then fell to the lower right corner of the goal.

Braga goalkeeper Felipe made a brave save and actually lifted the ball with one hand.

Corner kick!

Pepe and the others quickly came up from behind and joined in the fight for the corner kick. All Braga players retreated into the penalty area, and the outermost players were standing on the edge of the penalty area.

Ozil takes the corner kick.

Snap, he did not pass the ball directly into the penalty area, but swept the ball to Modric who was responding. Modric made a pass from the right, and the ball fell into the back of Braga's penalty area. Di Maria and the opponent Fantinho was crowded together in the right midfield, staggered and volleyed with his left foot!

The ball hit the side netting, and he himself fell to the ground, suffering a physical loss.

Di Maria's thin body has always been his weakness...

The Braga fans in the stands have been beating their chests. Obviously, Real Madrid's recent attacks are too threatening. However, the ball boy at the baseline was smarter than anyone else and quickly gave the ball to Felipe. Felipe placed the ball on the line of the small penalty area and kicked the ball directly to Aguilar on the left. After Aguilar stopped the ball, he immediately sent a diagonal pass!

In just a few seconds, five players actually started to counterattack. You can imagine how fast the Braga players counterattacked.

But the Real Madrid defense did not fall asleep again. Pepe intercepted the ball before Alan and resolutely gave the ball to Alonso. Alonso turned and sent a through ball.

Excellent through ball!

"Punctured!"

Finally it was Real Madrid's turn to make a beautiful counterattack.

Dong Fangzhuo cut in at high speed from the right to form a single!

Braga goalkeeper Felipe struck out in time and reacted very quickly.

call,

He pounced at Dong Fangzhuo's feet like a leopard.

Dong Fangzhuo's right knee swayed slightly, then swung back to the left and hooked the ball away with his right foot. Felipe could only pounce on his foot without touching the ball.

But Dong Fangzhuo couldn't run away either.

puff,

His whole body fell to the ground.

Beep!

The referee's whistle sounded.

The right hand points to the penalty spot.

"Penalty kick!"

"Penalty kick!"

"Penalty kick!"

"The referee awarded a penalty kick!"

"There is no doubt that this ball was a penalty kick. There is no objection. Felipe did pounce on China Dong's right foot."

Call,

Call,

There were deafening boos in the stands, but Braga fans didn't think so.

As home fans, they would never recognize this penalty kick, even if the evidence is conclusive.

"False."

"It was definitely a flop."

"Chinese Dong is notorious in the Premier League. He likes diving the most. Felipe definitely didn't knock him down. He did it himself!"

"The refereeing team should study it carefully."

"There's no way it was a penalty."

But the referee had no intention of changing the decision. He saw it too clearly.

Real Madrid coach Mourinho also applauded gently on the sidelines, while other players on the field were already high-fiving each other.

Although the penalty kick has not been taken yet, it is 90% certain. Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Dong Fangzhuo taking this penalty kick, there will be no suspense.

Ronaldo glanced at Dong Fangzhuo, who nodded. He gave up the penalty kick to Ronaldo.

Now in the Real Madrid team, Mourinho does not have specific requirements for penalty kicks and set kicks. In order to balance Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo, penalty kicks and set kicks are decided internally by the two of them.

"Ronaldo comes to take the penalty kick. He has already scored three goals in the Champions League. If he takes this penalty kick, then he can catch up with Messi in the scorer list. The Barcelona game has not been played yet, so Ronaldo can do it."

Ronaldo placed the ball on the penalty spot, slowly pushed back, and stood outside the penalty area. He began to take several deep breaths.

"Messi, Messi, Messi!"

The Braga fans are here again, and they brought up Messi's name again. If they can't scare Dong Fangzhuo, can they still not scare Ronaldo?

Cristiano Ronaldo's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. Instead of wiping it, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

beep,

The whistle sounded.

Ronaldo accelerated towards the ball.

boom,

Hit the ball directly into the lower left corner of the goal.

This is his usual penalty kick.

Snapped--

Braga goalkeeper Philip blocked it with both hands and really pushed the ball out!

The ball didn't go in!

ha?

No way……

At that moment, everyone in Real Madrid was shocked.

When did Ronaldo miss a penalty?

No way……

Such a good way to score, Ronaldo wasted it.

This is an equalizer, but it was so squandered...

The ball flew directly out of the sideline.

His teammates didn't react for a while, and Felipe had already jumped up and punched in celebration, but when he saw that the game was still interrupted, he quickly shouted to his teammates to continue defending...
