Seeing Klose shooting the ball into the Real Madrid gate, the referee Frisk first glanced at the linesman and confirmed that the German was not in an offside position when receiving Ronaldo's pass. Then he raised his right hand. Pointing to the center circle of the stadium, the goal was declared valid and Tottenham led 1-0!
As Frisk signaled that Klose's goal was valid, thunderous applause and loud cheers from the fans suddenly came from the stands at White Hart Lane. Because of Klose's goal, while helping Tottenham further consolidate their lead, it also completely pushed Real Madrid, the extremely luxurious galactic battleship, to the edge of the cliff!
This is because, after Klose scored a goal, Tottenham Hotspur already led Real Madrid four to one on the total score. Therefore, this means that if Real Madrid still wants to advance to the Champions League quarter-finals after this game, then they must score at least three goals in less than an hour left!
For Real Madrid, this is obviously an almost impossible task. Not to mention that after playing for most of the season, these superstars of Real Madrid have now reached their limit and do not have enough physical strength to support them to continue to explode in this game. Tottenham's defense line alone is not what it is now. Real Madrid can easily break it!
You know, from the start of this season to the present, Tottenham have only had four games in which their opponents have breached their own door more than twice. Among them, the only time they have been attacked more than three times was in the League Cup quarter-finals against Liverpool. This is because George sent out a full substitute lineup in that game. Therefore, Real Madrid is undoubtedly talking nonsense if it wants to achieve the goal of "scoring three or more goals in a row in the next period without allowing Tottenham to continue to score goals"!
However, although the hope of promotion has become extremely slim because of Klose's goal, the Real Madrid players did not give up the game. After the game restarted, they continued to attack Tottenham's goal fiercely under the command of Zidane!
Even if he falls, he must fall on the road of charge! This is the only thought in the minds of all Real Madrid players at this moment!
"It seems that I really can't believe what the media said. Real Madrid is obviously a very cohesive team, and it is also full of hunger for championship honors. How come they have turned into a team that only knows business for show? Are you on the performance team?" George naturally admires the fighting spirit and tenacity shown by Real Madrid players in extremely unfavorable situations, "But having said that, Florentino really went off the rails in his superstar strategy. I was obsessed. The Real Madrid team that won the Champions League in 2002 was already strong enough and reasonable in terms of configuration, and then it only needed to be updated step by step. As a result, he had to sign Ronaldo from Inter Milan, and also drove away Hierro and Bo Skeletor and Makelele not only broke the balance in the team, but also knocked Raul out of shape."
It's hard to say what type of player Raul is. As a winger, he lacks the speed of Robben and Overmars; as a center, he does not have the physical confrontation ability of Morientes and Vieri; as a shadow forward, he does not have the keenness of Inzaghi in front of goal. Smell; as an attacking midfielder, Raul also lacks the ability to sort out and organize attacks like Zidane and Belleron. Therefore, in George's view, Raul is more like the traditional Italian No. 9 and a half player - with excellent scoring and deadly passing abilities, often able to deliver agile goals and assists, but weak in physical confrontation. , needs a strong center to protect it, and needs enough space for movement and freedom of attack on the court.
As we all know, what a player like No. 9 and a half fears most is that there is a classical attacking midfielder behind him to share the organizational power in his hands, and at the same time, there is a shooter with weak ball awareness in the frontcourt to squeeze his living space.
The most typical example is Robert Baggio who moved from Juventus to AC Milan. The reason why the Melancholic Prince did not have a happy life at the San Siro Stadium was not only not appreciated by head coach Capello, but another important reason was that the Rossoneri was organized by Savicevic and Boban, and the goals were scored by Weah and Marco. ·Simone and other shooters took all the shots. This leaves Baggio, a classic No. 9 and a half, with few opportunities to perform in AC Milan - all the work he can do is shared by other players, and there is no core treatment. It is natural that he will not perform well. in things.
Another typical case is Del Piero, the zebra prince. Although the striker formed by him and Filippo Inzaghi set a brilliant record of 39 goals in the league and 16 goals in the Champions League in the 1997-98 season, after the Zebra Prince returned from a serious injury, Juventus formed a perfect team. In fact, there is no living space for Piero anymore. And Pippo, who has carried the banner of the Bianconeri's offense, is unwilling to continue sharing the ball with Piero, and often chooses to end the offense himself, causing the latter to be in a long-term goal drought.
If Agnelli hadn't supported Piero and sent Inzaghi away for this reason, allowing Lippi to re-build the offensive system around the zebra prince, I'm afraid Piero's end would never have been any better than Baggio's. go.
Unfortunately, after Zidane and Ronaldo joined Real Madrid one after another, Raul actually put together these two elements-the arrival of Zizou allowed Real Madrid to quickly change from a team that mainly attacks from the wing. The team turned into a team that pushed forward layer by layer from the middle. While greatly squeezing Raul's space for movement, it also took away the frontcourt organization rights that originally belonged to the Lord of the Rings; Ronaldo not only squeezed out Moren Tes is Raul's best partner on the front line, and his outstanding personal ability makes it impossible for the King of the Ring to make key passes!
When the territory that originally belonged to him was severely encroached on, and he could only find scoring opportunities through movement and cooperation, it is natural to imagine Raul's competitive state.
However, despite his poor condition, Raul still showed some edge in this game-in the 51st minute of the game, Alonso was stealing the ball from Graveson when he pressed forward to attack, and Figo was in the backcourt. A fifty-meter long pass instigated a counterattack. Raul, who received Figo's long pass in the left rib of the frontcourt, faced Vidic who promptly returned to defense and calmly passed the ball to Ronaldo who came in!
Although Ronaldo is no longer the alien who could single-handedly overwhelm an opponent's entire defense, he is still one of the best forwards in today's football. After receiving Raul's pass, Ronaldo used his signature pendulum pass to break through Ledley King's defense, and then shot the goal before Cech could block it!
One to one! After missing a scoring opportunity in the first half, Ronaldo finally seized the opportunity this time and helped Real Madrid equalize the score!
