"Southampton counterattacked quickly, and Real Madrid returned to defense very quickly."

"Kaka passed the ball to the left and handed it to Hazard."

"Carvajal has returned to the defense position. Hazard has no chance. He takes it back and Kaka diagonally inserts it to the left."

"Hazard passes to the wing, Kaka receives the ball, and then passes back to the center."

"Nice two over one, Hazard catches the ball, takes the ball to the center, and then passes!"

"Ibrahimović, a leak, behind him, Suarez, go in!"

"Suarez passed Casillas who was attacking, and the goal was scored!"

"Two to zero!"

"Oh my God, Southampton is two to zero in less than half an hour!"

"It's so exciting, so exciting!"

"The whole goal of Southampton just now was very skillful in passing and receiving, especially Kaka and Hazard’s continuous hitting on the left side of the wall. It was very clever, helping Hazard to get rid of the defensive players and also torn apart. Real Madrid’s line of defense."

"Real Madrid was too anxious. After losing the ball, they were too anxious to equalize. This led to a lot of mistakes in the midfield and Southampton seized a chance to counterattack!"

"They should be more patient. After all, the time is still very early. Try to avoid making mistakes and wait for the chance to equalize, instead of just thinking about scoring goals and equalizing the score, but they are more patient. Southampton has seized another opportunity again!"

"Two to zero, and now the total score is four to two. Southampton has reached the Champions League semi-finals with one foot!"

"There is still one hour left. Ancelotti must calm down and Real Madrid players must not be anxious. Take your time. With Real Madrid's offensive power, it will be easy to score two goals in one hour. thing."

"But if you make another mistake and are seized by Southampton again, the result will be unstoppable!"

Following this round of analysis by the TV station commentator, we saw that in front of the coaching bench of the home and away teams, the head coaches of the two teams had reached the edge of the command area, constantly shouting at the players on the court, and then gesturing.

If Ancelotti, as the team behind by two goals, is justified in being anxious, then Bielsa’s excitement is a bit confusing. Could it be that Bielsa still feels not enough if he is two goals ahead. Safety?

The answer is obvious, yes!

The Argentine lunatic stood on the sidelines. He just asked Captain Neuer, Harvey Martinez and Varane in the defense, and Tony Kroos and Modric in the midfield to stabilize the team as much as possible. Rhythm, not fast, have patience to control the ball in your own half, first ensure defense.

The Real Madrid team has many shortcomings and shortcomings, but their biggest advantage is that the players have super personal abilities. As long as you give them a little sunshine, they can return you a brilliant.

In the face of such an opponent, the mentality is very critical. If you feel that you are two goals ahead, you can relax your vigilance, or even be careless, then you are not far from being reversed.

"Luis!" Bielsa turned around and shouted to the chief assistant coach Luis Borini.

"I'm here!"

"During the intermission, we caught their faults and said that we must be cautious in the second half, and we must not be complacent just because we are leading by two goals!" Bielsa is now more worried than before.

The leader is not easy, because we must always be alert to being overtaken by the opponent, and we must beware of the adjustment and strain of the opponent.

"I understand, I will prepare now!"

After speaking, Luis Borini greeted the two staff members and returned to the dressing room first.

Bielsa continued to squat back on the ground, his eyebrows wrinkled high, and the wisdom-rayed eyes behind the gold-wire glasses stared at the stadium unblinkingly, as if it were a camera that wanted to see everything. It's all included in my mind.

In the visiting team command area not far from where Bielsa was squatting, Ancelotti also frowned, watching the game.

He is contradictory!

It's not because the two goals are behind that contradictory, but because it has always been contradictory.

The team he is now in charge is very strange, even deformed.

Luan has an offense that is enough to make the whole of Europe fearful, but he has a weak line of defense and a serious top-heavy. As a coach, he is very embarrassed when arranging tactics.

It was as if Southampton made a big attack at the beginning. Is he going to face Maimang's head-on with the Saints? Or should we adopt a more conservative tactic and ensure our defense first?

If it is the former, with the saints also dominating Europe’s offensive power, can Real Madrid’s weak line of defense be defended?

And like now, after two goals are behind, Southampton retreats to half-court, and adopts more midfield possession tactics, patiently dragging time with Real Madrid. Why does Bielsa dare to do this?

The answer is simple, because Bielsa knows very well that Real Madrid's trident's pressing and oppression in the front court depends entirely on the mood, and there are no rules and they are fighting separately.

Under this circumstance, if Real Madrid wants to guarantee the pressure of the midfield, they must press the midfield forward.

At least, Vidal and Di Maria will have to press one!

But in this way, there are only two players left in the midfield, but Southampton has three players, and whether it is Tony Cross, Modric or Kaka, they are all very skilled players.

Three to two, Southampton's advantage is still obvious!

Also, Real Madrid's lineup itself has problems.

Among the three front-court players, in addition to Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo are all types of players who rely on the passing of their teammates. This makes Real Madrid's midfielder a must Closely integrated with the frontcourt.

Under this circumstance, the ideal state of the defense line is to follow the center and front field to avoid the gap between the center and front field and the defense line, but this is the most ideal state. Actually?

In fact, the three frontcourt players in Southampton have been staring at Real Madrid's defense.

Among other things, Ibrahimovic, Hazard and Suarez, these three players are cruising beside you. Where can Real Madrid's backline dare to move? Who dares to press forward?

When both Marcelo and Carvajal were involved in the attack, they were beaten behind by Southampton and suffered a big loss!

The defense line is not pressing forward, and the midfielder must closely contact the frontcourt, so the gap between the defense line and the defense line will naturally increase.

Not to mention that the initiative of the game is controlled by Southampton. To a certain extent, as long as Southampton smoothly advances the ball to Harvey Alonso's midfielder area, it can basically create a threat.

Substitution?

Who can be replaced?

Who can be replaced?

Thinking of this, Ancelotti, who has always had a good temper, couldn't help but have the urge to scream up to the sky and curse his mother!

Especially, this is not done by humans at all!

What a **** suffering!

…………

…………

To everyone’s surprise, after Southampton took a two-goal lead, Real Madrid made a counterattack, but the time was very short, probably only a few minutes. It did not create any threat, but was almost beaten by Southampton. A counterattack.

The first half ended with a score of two to zero, and both sides returned to the locker room.

Fifteen minutes later, the two teams returned to the court.

During the intermission, Real Madrid made a substitution adjustment, replacing Gareth Bale with Casemiro.

This time the substitution obviously made the Welsh very dissatisfied, and the Saints fans in the entire St. Mary Stadium booed.

You know, in the first half, Gareth Bale is definitely the most proactive player in the frontcourt of Real Madrid. Whether it is on the offensive end or on the defensive end, he has made contributions within his capacity.

At this time, replacing him, does it mean that he is required to carry this black pot on his back?

But if you really want to find a sinner, how can it be his turn?

Therefore, the Welsh people didn't see anyone, and didn't know where they were.

But Ancelotti seemed to have no choice, replaced Gareth Bale and replaced Casemiro.

This is obviously a move to strengthen the midfield defense, Di Maria has been replaced by the right winger.

Real Madrid has changed, but Southampton has not adjusted or changed at all.

Bielsa's attitude should still be watched.

The two sides played very hot at the beginning of the second half, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who frequently yelled his teammates anxiously on the court, seemingly impatient.

But when the ball finally came to his feet, whether he was dealing with it or passing it, he was a little impatient, and some even hit the goal hastily and turned into a wave shot.

The fans of St. Mary’s Stadium also ridiculed the Portuguese in response to this point, further increasing the smell of gunpowder on the stadium, and even a bit of a sense of tension.

In order to stabilize the situation, the referee frequently paid out cards. Players including Carvajal, Suarez, Azpilicueta and others all received yellow cards.

But the turning point of the real game happened at the 67th minute of the second half.

Real Madrid got a free kick in the front court. Xavi Alonso made a free kick. There was a scuffle in the penalty area. Cristiano Ronaldo and Varane fell to the ground. The referee unquestionably awarded a penalty and gave A yellow card warned Varane.

This penalty immediately caused dissatisfaction with the Southampton players and the fans all booed.

But the referee made it very clear that he saw a foul action by Varane.

The slow motion shows that Varane did have a pulling action, but Cristiano Ronaldo's posture when he fell to the ground was indeed a bit too much.

In the end, the Portuguese personally took the penalty kick and rewritten the score to one to two.

This goal also allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to once again surpass Ibrahimovic in the Champions League scorer list.

After regaining a goal, Real Madrid's morale was like a rainbow and frantically launched an attack towards the Southampton goal.

There was a sudden rumbling in front of Southampton's door.

Fortunately, Neuer commanded certainty and staged key saves many times. Although Varane fouled and led to a penalty, his performance was quite stable, coupled with an equally stable Harvey Martinez.

Although Southampton has been under tremendous offensive pressure, it has repeatedly resolved the crisis and tried to keep the goal.

Stabilizing the defense and sustaining Real Madrid's indiscriminate bombing, Southampton began to look for opportunities to counterattack.

In the 83rd minute of the second half, Tony Cross made an oblique pass from his own half to divide the ball to the right.

Sanchez, who replaced Suarez on the field, caught the ball from the right ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and quickly dribbled the ball forward, cut to the right side of the penalty area and made a pass.

Unexpectedly, the pass was a bit too big!

Seeing that the ball was about to go out of bounds, Kaka suddenly rushed up from behind, shook his head against the ball, and pushed the ball back to the center.

I saw that even though Pepe and Ramos pulled to the right, Ibrahimovic still shot out from the crowd, greeted the ball, and shot directly, blasting the ball into Cassili. A goal guarded by Yass.

Three to one!

At the moment when he watched the ball hit the net with his own eyes, the Swedish center made fists with both hands and screamed like a fierce beast!

The Swedish center's goal not only helped him to tie Cristiano Ronaldo in the scorer list, but also completely dispelled Real Madrid's fighting spirit to continue counterattacking.

It is almost impossible to score two goals in less than ten minutes!
