The second half of the game had just begun. Before Real Madrid's offense could start, the Crystal Palace midfielder stole the ball.
Kanter!
Still Kanter!
Seeing this, Zidane's eyes tightened. He did not expect that just one more Kante would change the Crystal Palace so much.
This defense makes Real Madrid a little uncomfortable.
The ball was intercepted just now by Rodriguez.
However, I have to say that this is also Rodriguez's own problem.
To be honest, if possible, Zidane would not be willing to start Rodriguez in this game.
He always felt that Rodriguez was too self-centered in his football and did not integrate with the Real Madrid team at all. Especially since he has not been integrated into the BBC combination. If Bell hadn't been injured, he really wouldn't have used Rodriguez.
These two games against Crystal Palace particularly illustrate this problem.
Rodriguez is not a good fit for Real Madrid now.
At least it is not suitable for Real Madrid where Ronaldo is.
But Rodriguez is also quite capable. Although this guy is a bit arrogant and lazy, he is indeed talented.
At present, Real Madrid's top management is still struggling and waiting to see.
???????????????If Real Madrid wins the UEFA Champions League this season with the BBC combination, then they will not hesitate to send Rodriguez away and let BBC The combination continues to shine at Real Madrid. If Real Madrid fails to win the UEFA Champions League this season, the BBC combination will be the team's primary purge target, and Rodriguez will be retained.
Of course, being retained by Rodriguez does not mean that Real Madrid must have chosen him.
Rodriguez will stay for one season to prove himself. If he cannot prove himself in Real Madrid, he will be sold.
Therefore, Zidane is a little confused now.
No, Bell was injured recently, and Zidane also gave Rodriguez the opportunity.
At the moment, it seems that this guy is not doing very well.
Just now, Rodriguez was intercepted by Kanter too easily.
This guy Rodriguez played too casually and underestimated Crystal Palace too much. To put it bluntly, this guy didn't take this game seriously. No wonder Kanter stole the ball so easily.
Real Madrid did not expect Rodriguez to steal the ball so easily, and they were not prepared.
Kanter immediately passed the football forward, and the football immediately rolled through the space between Cross and Isco and towards De Bruyne behind them.

Crystal Palace is about to face their penalty area.
This made Zidane a little frightened, it was dangerous.
This position at the front of the penalty area needs to be protected by the defensive midfielder and midfielder, but they had been busy attacking before, so the place was instantly vacated.
De Bruyne controls the ball here very easily and looks for opportunities.
Danger, very dangerous.
Moreover, De Bruyne has a very sharp long-range shot. We can’t help but guard against this!
Therefore, Real Madrid's center back Ramos immediately pushed out and went up to intercept De Bruyne head-on. The initial purpose is naturally to prevent De Bruyne from taking long shots, and then he slowly approaches, presses De Bruyne, forces De Bruyne to pass back, or buys his teammates time to return to defense.
At the same time, Varane immediately moved to the center, and the two full-backs also quickly moved to the center, forming a three-back system.
Moreover, Kroos and the others immediately retreated and quickly pounced on De Bruyne.
Attack from both front and back!
But at this moment, De Bruyne suddenly picked up the ball and quickly passed the football to the wing.
Mbappe immediately rushed over, jumped high, and seemed to be heading the ball. In fact, it is to attract the Real Madrid defensive players who rush back to defend and clear the runway for the wing.
Sure enough, the football flew over Mbappe's head and flew quickly to the wing.
Carvajal, who came up quickly from the wing, moved the football forward easily and directly to the edge of the penalty area.
Danger, this is very dangerous.
Marcelo immediately turned around and rushed out quickly, rushing towards Carvajal.
But the moment he turned around and pounced, Mbappé also quickly moved forward, directly into the space behind Marcelo after he pounced.
After all, Real Madrid now has a three-back system. When Marcelo made the save, the space between him and center back Varane was a bit large, and Mbappe took advantage of it.
The Real Madrid fans at the scene were so shocked that their hair stood on end when they saw this.
It's dangerous!
Varane had to immediately pounce on Mbappe and put pressure on Mbappe to prevent him from receiving the ball easily.
Because at this time, Carvajal, who was holding the ball, suddenly made a cross pass and passed the football directly to Mbappe who was advancing.
Marcelo stretched out his legs but was not able to intercept it.
Marcelo's own expression also changed. He immediately turned around and wanted to pounce, but unfortunately it was too late.
However, he saw Varane approaching quickly, so he relaxed a little. He was very confident in Varane.
However, what he didn't expect was that this guy Mbappe seemed to stretch his legs to catch the ball, but in fact he just feinted and missed the football. Varane didn't expect it, and he didn't prepare at all. He was still thinking of stealing the ball directly from Mbappe's feet, but he didn't know that the football was missed.
The football rolled past the feet of Mbappe and Varane so quickly, and rolled towards the penalty spot behind them.
There, Jimenez has already swung his legs and hit the football hard.
All the Real Madrid fans at the scene suddenly felt their hearts tightening, and they stopped beating at that moment.
Danger!
Boom!
Jimenez fell hard to the turf, his vision went dark and he couldn't see anything.
Toot toot!
Referee Coopers immediately rushed over, pointed to the penalty spot with an expressionless face, and awarded Crystal Palace a penalty kick again.
And, he immediately took out a red card from his butt pocket and showed it directly to Ramos, who was lying on the ground and covering his right leg.
Red card, Coopers sent Ramos off the field!
The Real Madrid fans at the scene were excited and sprayed wildly. But it seems that not many people are criticizing the referee, but more people are criticizing Ramos!
They all felt that this guy Ramos was a little brainless and thoughtless.
It turned out that just when Jimenez was swinging his legs to stop the ball and shoot, Ramos, who was quickly returning to the penalty area, saw that it was too late and immediately slid and tackled Jimenez from behind. He even dribbled the ball directly. The shovel was overturned.
When this happened, Ramos was also a little confused!
To be honest, he is full of confidence when he tackles the ball. He firmly believed that Jimenez was unaware of the situation behind him, and his sudden tackle should have hit the football very accurately and destroyed the attack.
Who knew he actually tackled Jimenez.
Ramos himself didn’t even understand what was going on?
If he knew that he would tackle someone, he would definitely not tackle the ball, but at that time, his own judgment was that the probability of him scooping the ball was very, very high, almost 100%!
However, after sliding out, he shoveled someone firmly!
The Crystal Palace fans at the scene also cursed Ramos crazily, saying that Ramos is a stadium butcher, playing football is too dirty, and it is simply a shame for football. Such a guy should be banned for life and nailed to the pillar of shame.
The fans of Crystal Palace were so excited and happy that they sprayed Ramos wildly!
There is still no room for quibbles on the part of Real Madrid to show off this goal, because this goal is indeed a 100% tackle foul. And there is nothing wrong with giving a red card!
The Real Madrid people themselves were speechless!
What happened to Real Madrid in this game? Is this someone being lowered? Why are there so many fouls and penalties in this game?
Zidane's face was livid on the sidelines, and he angrily smashed the tactical board in his hand to the ground to vent his frustration.
What did you play in this game?
shit! shit!
Thinking about it, Zidane turned around and punched the windshield of the coach's bench, almost breaking the glass with one punch.
Real Madrid played really depressed in this game. Before anything happened, they gave away three penalty kicks. One at the beginning of the first half, one at the end, and another penalty just after the second half?
What on earth are you playing? Have you been bribed by the Crystal Palace people? Are you playing match-fixing?
Or are you defenders dissatisfied with the BBC team for too long, are you preparing to stab them in the back and send them away?
Zidane really can't understand why this is happening?
very angry!
If his opponent scored three goals in a back-and-forth offensive battle, he would feel better. What's going on now? Give the opponent three penalty kicks directly? It is very rare to award three penalty kicks to the opponent in one game, okay? Are you trying to set a record?
Zidane is extremely dissatisfied with his players.
If this game continues like this, will it be surprising that Real Madrid can advance to the finals of this season's UEFA Champions League?
Don't you want to stay at Real Madrid anymore?
Of course, Zidane did not forget to put pressure on the referee Coopers of this game. You awarded Real Madrid three penalty kicks in this game. You also have a problem. No normal person would give so many penalty kicks. Even if you have a reason, you have to think about it. How can you play the next game?
Send Crystal Palace directly to promotion?
Substitution, Real Madrid made a substitution at this time.
This is a passive substitution. After all, they will not be able to play three defenders in the following games. Zidane directly replaced Rodriguez in the midfield with Nacho. Real Madrid's formation changed to 4-3-2, and Nacho replaced Ramos at the central defender position.
Now the fans of Crystal Palace have begun to celebrate the victory. In their opinion, their Crystal Palace has already won this game, and no one can prevent their Crystal Palace from advancing to the final of this season's UEFA Champions League.
However, Tong Yi is not so optimistic.
He still reminded the Crystal Palace players to go all out and concentrate.
After all, even if the penalty kick is scored, Real Madrid only needs one goal to equalize the score and bring both sides back to the same starting line.
If that's the case, this situation is really unfavorable for Crystal Palace.
Why?
Because if the score between the two teams in this game is three to one, then the two teams' two rounds will be tied four to four. The number of away goals is also the same, and the two sides will enter overtime. And it would be okay if there is a winner in overtime, whoever wins will advance. If there is no winner and it is still a draw but a goal is scored, then the visiting team advances.
Goals scored in overtime also count as away goals.
Real Madrid is away from home in this game!
Therefore, if Real Madrid scores in overtime, it will be very detrimental to Crystal Palace. If Real Madrid scores one goal, Crystal Palace must score two goals...
