Chapter 176 Change Tactics

Zheng Long, who fell to the ground, waved his hands, but he couldn't stop the ball at all.

The ball hit the ground and bounced off the goal net.

As soon as he landed, Ronaldo heard the referee blow the whistle for the goal, and he saw the ball drilled into the net.

He excitedly ran to the flag corner, jumped up, turned around, lowered his hands, and yelled at the teammate who was coming.

His teammates rushed over to celebrate with him.

When Zheng Long saw the ball behind him, he felt all sorts of feelings in his heart.

Last time against Barcelona, ​​Suarez scored a goal.

Zheng Long can still accept it.After all, Suarez was suspected of handball that time.

But this time.

Zheng Long doesn't even know who to blame?

Blame your teammates for being weak?

Stop joking.

Just at that moment, even if the old man Crouch came, it would be useless.

Hey!

It can only be said that this ball is really a theoretically unsolvable ball.

Zheng Long put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly.

Standing on the sidelines, Real Madrid coach Benitez saw Ronaldo score with a header.

He pumped his fists excitedly.

Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, saw the scene in front of him, and he was frightened.

Barcelona's goal last time was suspected of handball.This time, Ronaldo scored completely by his own ability.

Goal without any problem!

He couldn't believe his eyes!

Seeing Ronaldo conquering the goal of the interceptor Zheng Long, Real Madrid fans excitedly waved cards with Ronaldo's number and portrait printed on them.

For a time, the Bernabéu stadium cheered loudly.

The Zaragoza fans who followed the team were also somewhat unacceptable.

Suarez's goal, Zaragoza fans thought it was a foul at all.

They don't admit it at all.

But this ball left Zaragoza fans speechless.

Zhang Lu shouted in surprise: "It's terrible! How high did Ronaldo jump just now? It's even higher than Zheng Long!"

Zhan Jun quickly found out the information and said: "C Ronaldo's information shows that he is only 1 meters, Zheng Long is 86 meters, including the take-off and arms just now. Just now Ronaldo jumped at least 1 meters. Regardless of Ronaldo's height, his bounce is at least 95 meter!"

Zhang Lu said in surprise. "This bounce can be a basketball player!"

Jun Jun nodded. "Yes! Now this basketball player scored a goal and helped Real Madrid lead 1-0. For Zaragoza, they will face a more rigorous postgraduate entrance examination!"

Zhang Lu said: "Zaragoza was very passive in the face of the powerful Real Madrid. Now that they are one goal behind, if they want to equalize, they need to attack aggressively. For Real Madrid, which is good at counterattacks, for Ronaldo, who is fast , Bell. This is a very favorable situation. Now is the time to test the coaching level. Let us see what kind of countermeasure Popovich will come up with to deal with it!"

……

Popovich is suffering from a headache.

It was also the first time Zaragoza players encountered such a situation where Zheng Long was guarding and fell behind at halftime.

Re-kick-off, Zaragoza players some confusion.

Nani and the others want to attack, while Galareta and the others want to stabilize the situation first.

For a while, Zaragoza played even more chaotically.

Modric intercepted Pedro's pass, and the first time he went straight to the left rib, Benzema received the ball.

Real Madrid's attack came again.

The goal just now had a certain impact on Zheng Long.

Zheng Long, who was feeling lost and depressed, saw Real Madrid attacking again.He immediately brought his attention back.

He warned himself in his heart.

Just lost a ball.

It's not that I haven't lost it.

When I was in the Guangda team before, I was poured into six or seven by my teammates, but I still survived the same.

Now it's just big shit.

Zheng Long is encouraging himself and cheering himself up again.

Benzema blocked the opponent and made a diagonal pass.

Ronaldo noticed Bell behind him, he didn't catch the ball, he just missed it.

His forward runs distracted Zaragoza's players.

Bell, who followed behind, shot with his left foot from the corner of the penalty area.

If it weren't for Zheng Long's quick reaction, the goal would have been scored.

Bell wanted to raise his fists in celebration, but when he turned around, he saw that the ball was blocked by Zheng Long with his feet.

His cheering stopped abruptly.

The home fans also sighed and sat down again.

Taking advantage of the corner kick, Zheng Long clapped his hands and shouted. "Cheer up guys. We haven't lost yet. There's still time! Come on!"

Zheng Long reminded his teammates loudly, but they did not have a unified mind, and the front and rear players were out of touch.

Corner from Modris, poor quality, low and flat.

He was pushed out directly by Galaretta.

In the 35th minute, as soon as he received the ball, Nani rushed forward with the ball.

He just passed Chris, but was tackled cleanly by Marcelo.

Marcelo and Ronaldo hit the wall on the sideline. Marcelo passed back from the left side of the penalty area. Benzema shoveled a shot from 6 meters in front of the goal. Zheng Long struggled to block the ball.

Scored a goal by Ronaldo.Instead of improving Zaragoza's offense, it got even worse.They have played 2 offensive cooperations for Real Madrid.

At this time, head coach Popovich finally made up his mind.

He put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly. "Steady. Stabilize the situation first!"

"Pedro stabilized the rhythm!"

"Slow down the tempo and play steadily!"

"Don't worry!"

Popovich shouted and gestured with gestures.

The head coach shouted.Zaragoza's players finally unified their thinking.

The players in the frontcourt were not in a hurry to score, but wanted to speed up the pace and equalize.

Zaragoza, which is mainly defensive again, did not give Real Madrid too many opportunities.

In the 42nd minute, Bell hit the goal 24 meters in front of the goal, and was pushed out of the upper left corner by Zheng Long.

After 2 minutes of stoppage time in the first half, the referee blew the halftime whistle.

Real Madrid led Zaragoza 1-0 at halftime.

Real Madrid players walked into the dressing room with joy.

Zaragoza's players walked into the dressing room with a depressed mood.

When the players are all here, the door is closed.

Popovich yelled. "Forget about the first half, that goal was just our bad luck. Although we were behind. But we were only behind by one goal, we still have a chance, we still have time. In the second half, we have to change our tactics!"

"In the second half, we didn't focus on the wing, we directly advanced in the center!"

In the past, Zaragoza made more use of the breakthrough ability of Nani and Joaquin on the wing to advance to the enemy's frontcourt or cross and hit the goal.

This time, hearing that the head coach Popovich wanted to advance in the middle, Zaragoza's players all looked at the head coach.

Popovich explained to the players. "In the first half, the opponent made a breakthrough from the side. They did a good job of defending the side. It is not easy for us to send the ball from the side to the frontcourt. But through the first half, I also see It came out. Real Madrid's three players in the middle are not good enough to defend. What's more, they also have a big problem with their cooperation."

"We hit their midfielders in the link. As long as they are a little unresponsive, we can hit their ribs and threaten their goal!"

Popovich was afraid that the players would not understand his tactics, so he drew on the tactical board with a marker.

"Nani, you break through from here. Costa, you break through from here. If you have the opportunity, you should be bold and decisive. You two should not stick to the left and right, anyway, you will break through the middle. If necessary, you can switch sides to let the opponent take a moment." If you can't react, you will catch the opponent by surprise!"

"William, run more and interfere with the opponent's defense!"

"Do you understand now?"

Zaragoza's players now understand.They nodded. "clear!"

After seeing the tactics of the second half, Popovich turned his head and said to Zheng Long. "Zheng, you will be under a lot of pressure in the second half. But I hope you can stick to the goal. Can you do it?"

Mainly in the middle, once a breakthrough can threaten the opponent's gate.

But at the same time, once the ball is lost, it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity and threaten Zaragoza's gate.

So Popovich is very clear, if you do this.Zheng Long will face a more severe test than the first half.

Now, though, Zaragoza are the laggards.If you want to tie the score, you can only take a risk.

Even if Zheng Long just conceded a goal in the first half, Popovich can only pin his hopes on Zheng Long now.

He looked forward to looking at Zhenglong.

Hope Jung Yong can answer with confidence like before.

rest assured.give it to me!

I heard the head coach say that in the second half, I will face more severe challenges.

Zheng Long hesitated.

The conceded goal in the first half affected Zheng Long's confidence somewhat.

Just like a crack appeared on the wall, no one who saw it would believe that the wall was safe and could support the roof.

They all worry about whether the walls will collapse.

Ronaldo's terrifying bounce put a lot of pressure on Zheng Long.

Do it again, can I keep the goal again?

When Zheng Long hesitated, he raised his head and saw the confused, worried and anxious eyes of his teammates.

He clenched his fists.

I'm the goalkeeper, the last line of defense for the team.

No matter who the opponent is, no matter what difficulties you have to face.I have to face it bravely.

I want to stick to the last line of defense!

Let the players be confident and bold to attack, equalize the score, even overtake the score, and win the victory!

Zheng Long took a deep breath, straightened his chest again, and said with firm eyes. "Don't worry, everyone, I can keep the goal and I won't let my opponent score again!"

Seeing Zheng Long's eyes, everyone was somewhat relieved.

Popovich nodded, clapped his hands and shouted. "In the second half, everyone should be more patient and don't rush. As long as everyone does well, we have a chance to equalize. Come on!"

Zheng Long took the lead and shouted. "come on!"

"Come on!" Pedro followed.

"come on!"

……

The 15-minute intermission arrived, and the players of the two teams returned to the court.

Zhang Lu saw the players come back.he said. "The second half is about to start. I don't know what adjustment Zaragoza's coach Popovich will make? In the second half, will Zaragoza have a chance to equalize the score?"

Zhan Jun also said. "Similarly, how will Real Madrid face it in the second half. Should they continue to attack aggressively, or choose to recover and play a defensive counterattack? The players of the two teams will tell us the answer later!"

As the commentator said, the two teams soon told everyone to know.their intentions.

In the second half, Zaragoza kicked off.

Willian Jose kicks the ball to Pedro.Pedro kicks into the backcourt.

Seeing Benzema rushing up to press, Galareta made a long pass and hit behind Chris.

Nani sped up and ran forward. He received the ball, turned around suddenly, threw off Chris who was following him, and then walked towards the middle.

Costa seemed to come to respond, and also ran towards the middle.

Just when Chris and Rodriguez both ran over.

Nani poked suddenly and pierced an overhead ball.As soon as William Jose's header was ferried, it was passed to Costa who ran to the left.

Costa rushed forward with the ball.

Costa suddenly changed sides, and Chris kept up habitually. Rodriguez also felt that the opponent was his target and ran up.

Costa took the two midfielders away alone.

Nani saw it and hurried forward to the right side of the frontcourt.

Costa only took three or four meters, and saw two people coming from the opponent's midfielder.He pulls the ball back and then moves wide, passing the ball down the right.

Nani ran 20 meters, received the ball, and then made a through ball. William Jose received the ball in the penalty area and took advantage of the situation. A strong shot, the ball went straight to the upper right corner.

This shot, William Jose has done very well.

But Navas is only 1 meters tall, which is not high for a goalkeeper.

He can become an excellent goalkeeper, in addition to his solid saves on the goal line, he also relies on his excellent reaction speed.

William Jose made a strong shot, and Navas made a strong leap and parked the ball.

Seeing that William Jose's shot missed, Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, leaned back and almost broke his waist.

After complaining regretfully, he clapped his hands.

"The cooperation just now was good, just like this. Keep going. We still have time!"

"Go back and defend now!"

After Popovich encouraged the players, he gestured for his men to go back quickly.

Ramos controlled the falling ball and he passed it to Danilo on the wing.

Bell launched a counterattack from the right.

Seeing Sidibe coming to block, Bell kicked the ball forward, then accelerated and rushed over.

Directly eat Sidibe with speed.

Sidibe could only desperately chase after him.

Seeing that Sidibe couldn't catch up with Bell at all, Alamo had no choice but to leave Ronaldo behind, and rushed over to double-team Bell with Sidibe.

Bell sent the ground ball, Ronaldo received the ball in front of the penalty area.

Seeing this, Zheng Long immediately became nervous.

Can no longer let the opponent score.Otherwise, this game can end the battle early.

I must save the opponent's shot.

Zheng Long lowered his weight and stared at the ball at Ronaldo's feet with the most focused attitude in his life.

Ronaldo dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area.Cabrera jumped out.

Facing the defensive player, Ronaldo swayed, making Cabrera a little confused about the direction of the opponent's breakthrough.

Ronaldo stepped on his bicycle, then accelerated towards the left.

Cabrera hurried to follow.

Ronaldo suddenly flicked the outside of his instep and pulled the ball to the right.

Shake the neutral gear, and in the penalty area, Ronaldo shoots with his feet.

The ball felt like an anti-aircraft gun, about to fly off the baseline.

But it doesn't feel like it.

Zheng Long didn't dare to take risks, and directly chose a safe method.Hit the ball.

Real Madrid's corner kick.

Modric's cross, the ball landed very well, Ramos grabbed a header and rushed to the top,

Ramos didn't exert any force on this ball, and the ball was weak.It was easily caught by Zheng Long.

Zheng Long held the ball and ran towards the penalty area.

The Zaragoza players saw and ran forward.

Nani made a cross from the left, and William Jose's header from 7 meters in front of the goal was bravely blocked by Navas.

Real Madrid fought back.

For a while, this game became not like La Liga, which is famous for its skills, but more like a Premier League game, which is famous for long punches and long hangs!

Zheng Long and Navas have become the most dazzling players in the game!
