Chapter 76 Real Madrid is back!
As the saying goes, a man's reputation is like the shadow of a tree.
Ronaldo came on as a substitute and immediately attracted Barcelona's attention.
But the aliens' first attack was not successful.
It was a counterattack launched quickly after Real Madrid intercepted the ball in their own half.
After a series of passes, Zidane stopped the ball near the center circle, controlled the ball, and passed it to Felipe . The Brazilian left-back dribbled the ball along the left side and made a diagonal pass into the penalty area with his left foot.
Ronaldo tried to shake off Thiago Motta and move forward to chase the ball, but both his turning speed and subsequent sprinting speed were obviously too slow. The ball was rushed to the front of the penalty area by Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes, who jumped up and took it away.
The Brazilians were more than a beat slow!
Although there was no chance, Ronaldo still gave Felipe a thumbs up from a distance.
"If it was Ronaldo in his prime, he would definitely be able to catch up, but the current Ronaldo..."
The commentator's words more or less represent the current fans' regret for Ronaldo.
Injuries have tortured this genius badly.
…
After Ronaldo came on, nothing seemed to change.
Negredo continued to run and press Barcelona's defense, while Ronaldo kept chasing him in the frontcourt.
Sometimes he pressed Belletti on the left, and sometimes he appeared on the right to press Van Bronckhorst. He looked no different from Raul who had just been substituted.
Barcelona continued to take the initiative and control of the ball, constantly putting pressure on Real Madrid.
Time passed by little by little, and the situation remained the same.
In the 75th minute, Gao Shen made his second substitution, with Guti replacing Zidane, who was almost exhausted.
This was a positional substitution, simply because Zidane's physical energy was almost exhausted.
In other words, he could no longer put pressure on Deco and Iniesta.
In order to ensure the team's defensive quality, Gao Shen had no choice but to replace him.
After Zidane left the field, he hugged Gao Shen and sat directly on the bench.
This duel is related to the ownership of this season's La Liga championship. The situation becomes more tense as the game draws to a close.
Barcelona is still exerting pressure and attacking frantically, while Real Madrid is waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
After Van Bommel left the field, Deco and Iniesta were both positioned relatively forward, especially during the transition from offense to defense, so Gao Shen had a very clear plan for Real Madrid's counterattack route, which was to look for Zidane before and now for Guti.
After making all this arrangements, all Gao Shen could do was wait.
…
The team created two or three good chances, but Ronaldo failed to seize them, which made the alien a little distressed.
After a month's absence, he made his comeback and did not feel any discomfort.
But his opponent was also well prepared.
Puyol is very fast and flexible, with very strong personal defensive abilities, and Thiago Motta didn't give him any chances.
More importantly, Thiago Motta seemed to have learned the lessons from Van Bommel's Champions League match in the middle of the week and was asked not to leave his position easily, which led to his more conservative positioning.
Faced with this situation, there was not much Ronaldo could do.
This is how football games work. No matter how strong your personal abilities are, you have to wait for a specific moment to be able to perform.
Fortunately, Real Madrid's defense was still quite solid. Although they were threatened several times, the goal was not breached either because of the players' desperate efforts or Casillas' heroic performance.
Barcelona was also determined to attack to the end and did not make any substitutions.
Time passed into eighty minutes.
After an unsuccessful attack, Barcelona chose to pass back.
Deco and Iniesta passed the ball back and forth, mobilizing Real Madrid's three defensive midfielders.
Van Bronckhorst quickly stepped forward to receive the ball, and after being followed by Negredo, he passed it back to the midfield.
Deco dribbled the ball forward and passed it to Ronaldinho who came back from the left and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
The Brazilian was disturbed by Arbeloa and had no space to deal with the ball. After stopping the ball, he quickly passed it back to Deco.
Ronaldinho wanted to avoid the interference of Beckham and Arbeloa with this pass, so he passed the ball a little forward. As a result, Deco did not rush forward immediately, but stopped where he was, causing the pass to go into the air.
De La Red was at the end, he grabbed the ball, strode forward and passed it straight.
Guti appeared in the gap and when he received the ball, Deco and Iniesta were not in position.
Barcelona captain Puyol is very experienced. When he saw Guti running to the open space to receive the ball, he knew there was danger. He immediately called Thiago Motta and asked him to pay attention to Ronaldo. He went forward to mark Guti, trying to force Guti to pass back.
But almost at the same time, Ronaldo saw Puyol coming for the ball, so he took the initiative to retreat and raised his hand to ask for the ball, looking like he was going to meet Guti.
This sudden move forced Thiago Motta to follow suit.
But who is Guti?
Fourteenth Master, his way of thinking is different from others!
Although he and Ronaldo did not have a good relationship, they had cooperated with each other for many years and had a very good understanding. As soon as Ronaldo came back, he knew what the aliens wanted to do.
Pass it directly to Ronaldo's feet?
With that belly, can he turn around and break through?
So, Guti moved sideways without thinking, created space before Puyol came forward, and quickly sent a through ball.
The ball was very direct, passing by Puyol and falling directly behind Thiago Motta.
Ronaldo, who originally seemed to be retreating to support Guti, suddenly stopped, turned around, started, and sprinted almost at the same time!
Ronaldo is very fat, but this set of moves is his signature skill, it was very skillful and smooth, and very sudden, catching Thiago Motta off guard and allowing Ronaldo to rush behind him.
Puyol reacted the fastest. After seeing Guti pass the ball, he realized something was wrong and immediately turned around to chase.
But at this time, Ronaldo had already caught up with Guti's pass.
The entire Camp Nou stadium was in shock for a moment.
After Ronaldo caught up with the ball, he ran to the right side of the penalty area, just avoiding Puyol's line. After entering the penalty area, facing the attacking Valdes, the alien skillfully picked it up.
The ball went over Valdes' head and into the goal behind him.
In an instant, the Camp Nou stadium became silent.
After Ronaldo's lob shot, he rushed to the sidelines without slowing down, laughing all the way, pointing his finger at the live camera in the distance, looking extremely excited.
On the sidelines, Gao Shen was stunned like everyone else, and then he was ecstatic.
"yeah!!!"
Gao Shen clenched his fists excitedly and almost fell to his knees on the court.
At this time, the referee Brewer blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid.
It was only at this moment that the entire Camp Nou burst into exclamations of surprise.
"Ronaldo scored a goal!!!!"
After Gao Shen jumped up from the ground, he looked up to the sky and shouted, venting his excitement.
But soon, Lucas, Maqueda, Buenaventura and others came running and surrounded him and hugged him.
"marvelous!"
“We scored a goal!!!”
"We won! We won!!!"
Everyone was filled with excitement and excitement of the unexpected surprise.
After being suppressed by Barcelona for more than 80 minutes, Real Madrid only had five shots in the entire game.
It's so fucking miserable!
When have you ever seen Real Madrid so weak?
If he fails to win tonight, Gao Shen will be drowned in the saliva of the world's media tomorrow, and everyone will even describe him as the shame of Real Madrid.
But now, he is not!
On the contrary, he will become a hero of Real Madrid!
Gao Shen laughed out loud, opened his arms, and hugged all his assistants, including Maqueda.
Then, still not satisfied, he walked to the bench and hugged Zidane, Raul and other substitute players.
"Good job, Gao!"
“We’re ahead!”
"We must win tonight!"
The Real Madrid players were all excited.
Especially Raul, he felt like crying.
In the first century derby of this season, when Real Madrid was defeated 0-3 by Barcelona at the Bernabeu, Raul really felt extremely desperate, because what he saw was not only a three-goal score difference, but also a huge gap in strength on the court.
But now, Gao Shen used a game and a goal to tell him and everyone else that Real Madrid still has a chance and it is not time to despair!
From ten points to five points, and now, it is about to become two points, and we will beat Barcelona at the Nou Camp. How incredible is it!
This is a wonderful goal!
But it’s more than just a goal !
It's more like a statement.
Real Madrid used this goal to tell Barcelona and the world: Real Madrid is back!
The greatness of Real Madrid does not lie in superstars, although there has never been a lack of superstars in Real Madrid's history; the legend of Real Madrid has never been written by any one person, but forged by the entire team; the tradition of Real Madrid is not offensive football, nor elegance and sexiness, but the Juanito spirit of never giving up and always being full of blood.
Reversing Arsenal at Highbury, drawing with Juventus in Turin, and defeating Barcelona at Camp Nou, this is the real Real Madrid!
Raul was really touched.
He hugged Gao Shen tightly and kept shouting on his shoulder: "Thank you, thank you, Gao!"
Gao Shen couldn't understand Raul's feelings at this moment, but he felt it.
"Calm down, my captain, the game isn't over yet." Gao Shen comforted Raul, and after he let go of him, he pointed at Raul and said with a smile: "We'll celebrate together after the whistle blows at the end of the game, but now, we have to keep fighting!"
Raul's eyes were red and he kept nodding his head. He was a little out of control .
Gao Shen is right, the game is not over yet.
There is no way Barcelona will allow Real Madrid to take three points away from Camp Nou, they will launch a crazy counterattack.
Gao Shen walked to the sidelines and called out to the Real Madrid players who were walking back to the field after celebrating the goal and preparing to kick off again, asking them to stay focused, keep their footing and guard the goal.
In these last few minutes, Barcelona will do everything!
