Chapter 250 Champions League Final Four: Real Madrid vs. Arsenal (Part 2)
Eggsy's pass really surprised Cech, at least Cech really didn't expect it to be a pass.
Eggsy's kick, which looked like a pass, was indeed a shot. With a run-up and a volley, anyone with a little common sense would think it was a shot. But this shot was really weird. The ball went straight to the goal. Cech also rushed in this direction at first, but!
However, no one expected that after the ball was kicked out, Eggsy almost slipped because he couldn't stand firmly, and the ball strangely went directly from left to right in front of the goal like a boomerang. Benzema, who was running at the beginning, was shocked when he saw the ball coming like a boomerang.
But Benzema also reacted, he quickly turned around and shot towards Arsenal's goal. Because Cech had just jumped out, the ball was just in time for Cech to jump up twice and fell into the goal!
"Oh! Oooohhhh!!! What kind of pass is this! It's a boomerang! Oh my god!"
Almost at the same time, exclamations were heard from all the media broadcasting the game, and at the same time, people all over the world in various languages were cheering for Eggsy's exquisite boomerang pass.
When Benzema saw the ball go in, he jumped up three feet high and turned to the left. Of course, he was excited! He was running to hug Eggsy to celebrate. Eggsy was still wondering before Benzema picked him up.
In fact, Eggsy really wanted to shoot, but... he didn't know why he lost his balance and pulled out a boomerang?
Raul had trained with Modric and Ramos before! How...
Before Eggsy could react, Benzema excitedly hugged him from behind. But probably because of Eggsy's height, Benzema didn't adjust his center of gravity this time, and actually threw Eggsy over his shoulder!
Zidane and Raul, who were talking and laughing in the audience, were so scared that they stood up on the spot. Fortunately, Eggsy was quite agile and he somersaulted and sat on the court.
Now, the whole audience exclaimed and then gasped, and then started to hold back their laughter after being surprised, leaving Eggsy sitting on the court with a confused look on his face as he looked at Benzema who was kneeling on the ground laughing.
In fact, it’s not Benzema’s fault. Now every Real Madrid player is lying on the court and smiling.
Eggsy: ????
Although the referee was laughing and the Arsenal players were embarrassed and covered their mouths while laughing, so even though Real Madrid unexpectedly scored a goal at the beginning of the game, but!
But Arsenal were actually laughing~, and the referee was laughing~, everyone laughed for a few minutes and probably couldn't hold it back anymore, almost the whole stadium was laughing, whether it was Real Madrid fans or Arsenal fans, the sound of Bernabeu and Uri laughing could be heard everywhere.
Although Eggsy knew it was not his fault, he still felt what social death was for a moment. He sat on the ground and covered his face with his hands, feeling like his whole body was burning.
Of course, dozens of cameras were pointed at him, and when Eggsy hid his face in embarrassment, he couldn't cover his ears. In this way, Eggsy's pink and red ears appeared on the broadcast screens around the world.
I won't go into details about how many fans had different thoughts about this scene. Anyway, the farce lasted just over two and a half minutes before Eggsy was pulled up by Zidane, who came running over to apologize. Then, seeing Eggsy's face flushed with anger, Benzema laughed again.
After everyone finally calmed down, the game officially began. After all, Arsenal had just lost a point, and although they laughed a little when they saw Eggsy's embarrassment, they immediately switched to a tense game mode.
Arsenal have now started the attack. Of course, this time they still use Sanchez's quick attack from the sideline, but Arsenal's attack was immediately intercepted after reaching the midfield.
Kroos, Modric and Eggesi in the midfield formed a terrifying triangle of possession. Now Real Madrid clearly wanted to control Arsenal's attack, which meant that they wanted to delay the decisive battle to the second half. Arsenal really used all their tricks.
Arsenal's midfielders Cazorla and Xhaka are not enough, and they even used a substitution quota to add Chamberlain. However, it is still difficult for them to compete with Real Madrid's midfield three.
Arsenal's original plan was to play a fast break, but after seeing Real Madrid's attack and scoring a point right at the start of the game, they knew what a fast break was. Don't they know what it means to show off your skills in front of an expert?
However, facing Real Madrid's midfield blockade, Arsenal played very uncomfortably. After finally accelerating and breaking through the midfield blockade, the Real Madrid defenders behind them were no pushovers.
Although Arsenal attacked a lot, they also hit the back line many times. However, when facing Real Madrid's goal, whether it was Sanchez or Lacazette, their shots were either at bad angles or were blocked, which gave Real Madrid the opportunity to attack.
Arsenal immediately rushed back to defend. Cech was afraid that Real Madrid would use the tactic of a lightning pass and direct shot again. The previous diamond-shaped offensive battle did not appear again. At this time, it was not difficult to guess that Real Madrid wanted to continue to hang on to him.
Arsenal’s management also had grim faces. Their head coach had just understood what Real Madrid meant.
Real Madrid could have shot Arsenal's goal in the first half, but they didn't. Instead, they slowed down and played slowly. It was clear that they wanted to hold back in this game, and they didn't want to play all their cards.
Arsenal's head coach is now looking at his players on the field, but he is still nervous because the goal just now is like Zidane showing him his strength and forcing Arsenal to follow his lead.
That means: You don't want me to beat you 6:0, right? Then just play along with me and hide your weaknesses, otherwise...
Arsenal's head coach is really hesitant. Is he going to give it a try? Or is he really going to cooperate with Real Madrid? Or should he wait and see in the second half?
Arsenal's offense was directly increased to 67% in the first half. Despite such intensive attacks, Arsenal still did not get a single point, which is actually very telling.
But during the half-time break, Eggsy and his teammates returned to the rest area. Zidane did not take them back to the locker room but asked them to put on their sports jackets and sit in the rest area.
Eggsy sat down and poured some water into his mouth, then carefully looked at Zidane's face, fearing that Zidane would be angry about him being thrown out by Benzema. But when he saw that Zidane's expression was the same as always, Eggsy breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eggssi," Zidane had already seen Eggssi observing him carefully. Of course, he also looked at Eggssi with a smile: "In the second half, let's continue to drag the game, Modric, and the quick attack in Lala mode. Let's wait and see."
Eggsy's tactics were not learned in vain. He just pulled his chin and thought for a while and immediately understood what Zidane wanted to do. However, after today's game, there will be a match between Barcelona and Bayern next week, and after that the Champions League final.
In other words, if Real Madrid wins this game, it will take at least 2 to 3 weeks to play in the Champions League final. But during this period, Real Madrid's La Liga final is about to begin, because while they are playing this game, Atletico Madrid has already defeated Espanyol and successfully stabilized the second place in the La Liga rankings.
My goodness, if you calculate it this way, they will play the La Liga final next week, the Champions League final the week after, and then everyone will rush to the World Cup qualifiers at the beginning of next month...
If you think in this way, it is not difficult to understand why Zidane made today's arrangement. There are too many major competitions, and there will probably be a new round of La Liga games during the World Cup. This is a standard round-robin game.
On the one hand, Zidane wanted to hide his shortcomings, and on the other hand, he wanted to conserve the physical strength of all the players, alleviate the wear and tear and pressure of the game, and keep the players' injury rate to a minimum.
As expected of Zidane, he is really scheming.
Eggsy understood Zidane's idea and agreed immediately. But even if they didn't fight a blitzkrieg, they still had to play the game against Arsenal. Although Arsenal's defense was good and their offense was not strong, they were still Arsenal after all, so they couldn't take it lightly.
After explaining all this, Zidane looked at Eggsy and asked, "You weren't hurt just now, were you?"
Eggsy immediately understood what that person meant, and blushed as he said he was fine. Fortunately, the game resumed, so Eggsy took the opportunity to end the topic and immediately returned to the court for the second half of the game.
Of course, Arsenal did not give up the attack at the beginning of the second half, and it could even be said that they attacked more crazily. Eggezi and Modric both tacitly moved back, ready to help Kroos and Ramos let go, and see if there was any chance to intercept the ball.
However, Arsenal's offensive became more and more crazy. Finally, Agsian couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately gave Modric a wink, and Modric immediately understood what his child meant.
So after Navas confiscated the opponent's offensive ball again, Eggesie and Modric started a rapid attack on both sides of the line again, and the ball behind them immediately flew out with a large span.
At this time, Arsenal players were also looking up at the sky, wondering in their hearts: Who is Real Madrid's main offensive midfielder, and who will the ball be passed to!
