Chapter 513 The same starting line

Chapter 513 Same Starting Line

The Newcastle players surrounded the referee angrily. They thought that Pepe's steal against Long Bisheng was already a foul before the counterattack.

Seeing that the players had become very excited, Mourinho jumped up on the sidelines and shouted at the players to return to their positions. He thought very clearly that it was impossible to change this kind of penalty. Continuing to entangle would only make the team suffer. Just getting one or two yellow cards might not have a big impact. The most important thing is that if the players were too entangled with this penalty, Real Madrid might concede a goal before the end of the first half when Real Madrid's momentum has reached its peak!It would be the end of the world then!

In fact, Mourinho was several times more angry than the players for this conceded goal!But he can't lose his mind, he must use his greatest efforts to calm down his mood, and at the same time suppress the protests of the assistant coaches, so as not to affect the mentality of the players!

However, the mentality of the Newcastle players was inevitably affected. After the re-kick-off, Newcastle planned to organize an attack, but lost the patience in the usual attack. Instead, the ball was easily intercepted by Real Madrid and continued to organize a counterattack!

Essien was forced to bring down Ronaldo who was holding the ball in the corner of the penalty area. There were huge boos from the Bernabeu stands. Real Madrid fans hoped to use this move to make the referee show Essien a yellow card or even a red card.

Ronaldo and Kaka stood in front of the ball at the same time, and the Real Madrid fans in the stands cheered loudly. They hoped to take the lead in the total score in the first half!In their view, Real Madrid can do anything now!

Cech loudly commanded the wall, and the wall of six people blocked the left side of the goal tightly. After careful observation and no direct shot angle was revealed, Cech returned to the direction of the far post and focused on watching Ronaldo and Kaka standing in front of the ball.

It is very likely that Ronaldo will take this free kick, but Kaka's free kick is not bad. Who will take the free kick?Cech had no idea.

Newcastle's wall moved forward slowly, and then another point. Ronaldo noticed their move and raised his hand to signal the referee. The referee re-measured the distance between the wall and the ball. Sure enough, it moved forward by almost half a meter, and immediately waved Newcastle's wall back.

As soon as he walked away, the human wall began to move forward again...

The referee didn't bother with this detail any more, otherwise maybe just this free kick would have taken the penalty until the end of the first half. After seeing that it was almost done, he blew the whistle to take the penalty.

Ronaldo runs and shoots!

The ball went around the top of the wall. Although Newcastle's wall was very high, Ronaldo made a great arc shot!

Watching the ball go around the wall, all Newcastle fans had a thought in their hearts: "It's over..."

When the despair just rose from the heart, the sound of "clang" from the doorpost brought everyone back to their souls!

"Ronaldo's shot went around the wall beautifully, Petr Cech couldn't make a save, but the goal post of the Bernabéu stadium saved Newcastle's life! The ball flew out of the baseline!"

When the ball flew out of the bottom line, all the Real Madrid people showed incredible and extremely regretful expressions, while the Newcastle people all breathed a sigh of relief!

"God is finally on our side once!" Pei Wei cursed, and then said, Mourinho took a deep breath, and then let go of his heart that almost jumped out of his chest.

If this ball is lost, then Newcastle is really over. Fortunately, it is only a draw.

********************************************

"I don't want to say that I am very dissatisfied with your performance in the first half, and I don't want to comment on the second goal. What I want to remind you now is just one thing."

Mourinho said as calmly as possible, but everyone could hear his anger. Everyone could see three veins on his forehead twitching at the same time. Anyone who is familiar with Mourinho knows that this is already an expression of the extreme anger of the Portuguese.

"We have nothing to say about the first goal. We didn't make any mistakes. Their attack was wonderful, but the second goal! Although they fouled first, we didn't return to the defense immediately or we lost our composure at that moment! Otherwise, even Kaka would not be able to complete a wonderful long-distance individual attack easily! Why did the two midfielders go up one by one! At the same time, they rushed forward and blocked all his breakthrough routes. This is what I have always emphasized! There are no other Real Madrid players at the front of the penalty area. Essien and Bostock, why do you two go up one by one? In war, this is called refueling tactics, and it is a taboo! Don’t you understand this truth? There are others, did two conceding goals make your mentality unbalanced? Look at the performance after conceding the second goal, I am ashamed of you! Could it be that your psychological quality can’t even bear this situation! "

Mourinho's voice was not loud, but the Newcastle players were silent one by one. In the locker room, no one was afraid of the angry Mourinho. Although he never had to deal with the players in that harsh tone from the outside world, his criticism without dirty words was still not something they could afford!

"Don't forget, it's only 10-[-] on aggregate! We still have a whole second half to score! As long as we score one, they're going to score two. We look good, don't we? When we concede the first goal we can think 'it's ok, we're one more ahead.' Then why can't you concede the second goal and think 'It's ok, if we score one more, the advantage will come back to us immediately!'? Are you afraid of Real Madrid? Real Madrid's momentum has you suppressed? Don't forget we are this." The team with the best performance in the Champions League in the past ten years, and this decade is the honor blank period of Real Madrid in the Champions League! Yes, their history is very brilliant, but it is useless to talk about history! Liverpool, which has won the most Champions League in England, has only participated in two Champions League games in the past ten years, and Manchester United, which has won the second most Champions League. Is it? Our goal this season is an unprecedented single-season quadruple! Don’t stumble in the quarter-finals of the Champions League! If we lose this game, then maybe we will lose the next FA Cup and the league! Because we no longer deserve such honors, at least judging by your performance in the last [-] minutes of the first half, we don’t deserve it!”

Mourinho's voice gradually became louder, and his roar echoed in the locker room: "Now let us forget the previous home game, let us forget the first half! The score is zero to zero, we are facing a brand new game! Abandon the defensive tactics of the first half, because we have no capital left to squander. Do you want to advance? Kill them! Kill them! We can only get our honor by stepping on their corpses! Attack me in the second half! Goal! Even if they score first, don’t panic! They score one and we score two! With our offense, can we be afraid of a team with only five defensive players?"

"Don't be afraid!" The players who had been scolded so pale by Mourinho finally found room to vent. They waved their fists and roared to vent their dissatisfaction. What about the Bernabéu?We are not unconquered!

"The tactics in the second half, the ground cooperates to hit the frontcourt, and then launches the attack through the cross from the two wings! Isn't Real Madrid good at technology? Let the Spaniards see the technology of the Premier League team!" Mourinho waved his fist!

"Let them know how good we are! Let them know what kind of team Newcastle is!"

**********************************************

"The first half is over. Real Madrid played a perfect first half. In addition to two goals, they even had a chance to overtake the score. If it weren't for the help of the goalposts, Real Madrid would have led 1305-45 in the first half... Newcastle did not have any abnormal performance in the first half, but Real Madrid's performance was even more amazing. After [-] minutes of the game, the two sides returned to the same starting line. It took only [-] minutes for Real Madrid to tie the score that seemed impossible before the game. Let us look forward to more exciting second half."

It was [-]-[-] in the first half, and the two goals were very exciting, which made the ESPN commentator very excited, so the game with more goals is what they want to see.

The players of Newcastle walked onto the field with a tragic momentum. Although Mourinho had done enough encouragement during the intermission, the harsh reality was in front of them after they set foot on the field. Take down this opponent in nine 10 minutes.

At this time, the sense of honor accumulated over the past ten years made the players of Newcastle burst out with a huge desire to win immediately after feeling the pressure. They have encountered difficult situations many times, but most of the time they can survive the most difficult times and move on. What will happen this time?

Newcastle took the kick-off in the second half, and Long Bisheng and Messi stood on the kick-off point.

Messi looked around at the Real Madrid fans who were shouting wildly in the stands, frowned and said: "I'm really angry to see them like this."

He didn't perform much in the first half except for one or two personal breakthroughs. This also made Messi, who has always been unconvinced with Ronaldo, even more unable to bear the arrogance of his opponent in front of him. When he came to Newcastle, it was the time when Ronaldo was incomparable. Luo's performance is much better than him.

"The first half was really aggrieved." Long Bisheng nodded, agreeing with him: "There are only two of us on the offensive, and it's very simple to play and cooperate. It's easy to be defended by them... But it won't be like this in the second half. Stephen and Gareth will join the offense. In the second half, let them see how good our offense is."

"I'll leave it to you in the restricted area. It's really interesting to cooperate with you." Messi showed a smile on his face, and then immediately turned his face again: "I don't want to be eliminated by them, I don't like to fail."

Long Bisheng grinned: "I don't like failure either. I don't like failure even more since this season. I've never been so eager to beat all my opponents. Except for Hoffenheim, the clubs I stayed in before basically didn't have the strength to hit the championship. Even Hoffenheim, it is impossible to make a breakthrough in the Champions League...so in Newcastle, I am more eager for victory and honor."

"Then let's fight for the victory." Messi looked at the goal in Real Madrid's half, and said lightly: "The head coach once said that the value of a player lies in the moment when he defeats the opponent, the moment when he wins the honor. After so many years of hard work, we have the ability to compete for the honor. How can we stop here!"

Not only the two of them are thinking this way, all the Newcastle players are twisted together to advance for their glorious and great goal!

The referee looked at his watch, and then blew the whistle to start the second half!

In the last 45 minutes, whoever can become a part of the semi-finals depends on who can defeat the opponent in these 45 minutes and get the result they desire!

Long Bisheng pushed the ball to Messi, and then accelerated to run forward. Messi stopped the ball at his feet, and then passed it back to Bostock, who also ran forward. While passing the ball, Bale and Gerrard on both wings entered Real Madrid's half at the same time. Newcastle put on a strong attacking posture at the beginning of the second half.

Bostock crossed the ball to Maicon who was plugging in from the right. Maicon dribbled the ball forward. Silva rushed towards him, but Maicon immediately moved the ball forward and forced a breakthrough!

Silva, who was slightly thin, was forcibly broken through by Maicon. Although he was still chasing closely behind, he still couldn't interfere with Maicon's progress.

Maicon moved forward, and Gerrard moved to the middle to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense in the middle. Drenthe came up to meet him, and Maicon again planned to overtake forcibly!

Drenthe's body was much better than Silva's. Although his defense was poor, he was no worse than Maicon in terms of body and speed. He immediately turned around and blocked Maicon's cut-in route. At the same time, he leaned his body up to make Maicon lose his balance.

However, Maicon retreated sharply, pulled the ball back, made a beautiful time difference, and then lifted his foot on the spot before Drenthe pressed up, and sent the ball into the penalty area!

The quality of the hasty cross was not very good, it seemed a bit high, but for Long Bisheng, such a cross was enough.

Blocking Pepe hard behind him, Long Bisheng used a rebounding posture to make Pepe unable to take off comfortably, and then jumped up first, hitting the ball down!

Messi rushed over like an arrow, facing the ball with a direct kick, Casillas made a magical save, almost sat down like a conditioned reflex, and stretched his legs to block Messi's shot from the bottom line!

"GOOO... Oh! My God, Iker Casillas reacted too fast!" The commentator of Sky TV swallowed back the remaining half of the words: "Messi's shot down to the ground is inevitable! But Casillas said no! In the first round, Cech's performance was better than Casillas' performance, but in the second round, Casillas' performance overwhelmed Cech! Newcastle almost took the initiative back immediately. If this goal is scored, Real Madrid will be defeated again. Into the abyss!"

"Ah——" Seeing that his shot was blocked by Casillas, Messi hugged his head and yelled, and then looked at Casillas with a cannibalistic look.

"It's okay, corner kick, we still have a chance!" Long Bisheng comforted Messi beside him. In fact, he also felt very disappointed. Generally speaking, as long as the surprise attack after the opening is successful, it is easy to cause a goal, because the player is most likely to slack at the beginning of the game. The shot just now is a pity.

Gerrard, who came to the penalty area, also nodded when he heard the words: "Yes, we have plenty of opportunities! There are 45 minutes left in the second half, let's score him a few goals!"

Both Taylor and Maicon came up, and Bell and Essien also came near the penalty area. Newcastle only left Dawson and Martok in the backcourt, and the others were distributed within 30 meters of the frontcourt.

Faced with Newcastle's desperate momentum, Real Madrid's players also returned to defense one after another. Even Ronaldo returned to the penalty area and planned to use his height and jumping ability to head the ball to clear the siege.

Bostock took a corner kick, and there was chaos in the penalty area. Everyone was desperately fighting for position. In the end, Casillas ended the attack. He accurately judged the ball's landing point, jumped up high and snatched the ball over Taylor's head.
