Chapter 1423
Ricardo Rodriguez didn't dare to shoot from the close corner, but the opponent was the world-class goalkeeper Casillas. He decisively rubbed the inside of his foot and shot the ball to the far corner of the goal.
Casillas chooses to defend the near corner, so he can only weaken his defense against the far corner.
But Casillas is also helpless. The design facing the goal in modern football ensures that it is impossible for the goalkeeper to cover the entire goal.The standard width of the goal is 7.32 meters, while Casillas is only 1.8 meters tall. If Casillas stands in the middle and defends, he will only lose sight of the other. It is better to defend the most dangerous near corner.For the far corner, Casillas can only fight luck and the opponent's shooting skills.
Although rubbing shots from the far corner seems to have a great chance of scoring goals, it also requires high shooting skills from players.
Casillas is betting that Ricardo Rodriguez as a full-back doesn't have such shooting skills!
It's just that Casillas turned his head to look at Ricardo Rodriguez's curve ball, and his pupils involuntarily grew bigger.
Whether you talk about strength or luck, in short, Ricardo Rodriguez's shot was in the eyes of Casillas, and it flew towards the goal a little bit!
Looking at the flight trajectory, it doesn't look like flying out of the baseline, but running into the goal!
In this case, Casillas has nothing to do except watch football.
Bang!
Just when Casillas was about to accept the conceded goal and Liverpool fans were about to celebrate, the ball hit the post and bounced out.
"Ah!" Real Madrid fans and Liverpool fans exclaimed almost in unison.
The difference is that Real Madrid fans exclaimed that there was a taste of surprise in it.
The exclamation of the Liverpool fans was full of annoyance and unwillingness.
Lewandowski went to try to shoot, but there was a player faster than him.
Real Madrid central defender Pepe secretly tugged Lewandowski's jersey, ran over by himself, and kicked the football out of the baseline with a big foot.
Liverpool continue to corner.
Ancelotti on the sidelines was very unhappy. He yelled at the Real Madrid players on the pitch. He thought that the defense of Real Madrid almost conceded the goal, largely because the Real Madrid players were complacent after scoring the goal. Yes, lack of concentration on defense.
This time there was no goal, not because of how well the Real Madrid players defended, but because of Liverpool's bad luck.
But every attack is counting on Liverpool's bad luck, hitting the post like this time?
Really holding this idea, Real Madrid will definitely lose miserably in this game.
…………
The Spanish commentator also expressed his dissatisfaction. "Ancelotti, who is known as a good guy, also roared on the sidelines. In the defense just now, our players did very badly. If Real Madrid wants to win this game, they not only need to do a good job in offense, but also need to do a good job in defense !"
The narrator of Sky TV had a taste of unwillingness in his words. "What a pity! What a pity! If it weren't for the goal post, Liverpool would have played a wonderful attack! It can only be said that the Spaniards were lucky. Lady Luck stood behind them this time, but the Liverpool people don't need Discouraged. I believe that if we continue to maintain this offensive intensity, next time Lady Luck will stand behind us!"
…………
When Gerrard served another corner kick, this time Real Madrid was clearly prepared. C. Ronaldo came back to defend Ricardo Rodriguez himself. It was impossible for Gerrard to catch Real Madrid by surprise.
Gerrard was only able to kick a decent corner kick. Although the corner kick was topped by Gary Cahill, Gary Cahill didn't hit the football well under the interference of Real Madrid's defenders, and the football flew over the crossbar.
Real Madrid goal kick.
Real Madrid did not attack rashly, they carefully and calmly controlled the football at their feet and slowly advanced.Now Real Madrid has a taste of Barcelona, but don't be surprised and surprised.It's not like there is such a saying that the person who knows you best is not yourself, let alone your relatives, but your enemy.
As Barcelona's old enemy Real Madrid, how could it not have learned something from Barcelona?
Liverpool did not risk pressing and calmly retreated to their own half.
Now the two teams play a bit of a half-court offense and defense. Real Madrid attacks, while Liverpool is in charge of defense. Both sides perform their duties and no one crosses the line.
It's just that for the fans, this is not a good thing.
The game has become dull.
There is also a reason for this. The first half of the game is almost over, and the game has reached No. 403 minutes without knowing it, and there are only 2 minutes left before the end of the regular time.The first half of the game went smoothly, the referee will not give too long injury time, it is estimated that it will be 2 minutes at most.
This is why Real Madrid players don't want to take the risk of attacking. They are more willing to let the football be safely controlled at their feet, and the team will go back to the locker room to make adjustments.
