Chapter 442 Optimism and Not Optimism
The moment the football flew into the goal, the Bernabeu stadium became quiet, followed by an uproar.
Millwall scored!?
The Real Madrid fans on the scene were a little unbelievable. They believed that the goal would definitely belong to Real Madrid. From the beginning of the game, Real Madrid had a great advantage. Even though they focused on defense, they relied on their strong strength to suppress Mirwall.
Millwall's overall performance is focused on Braniff alone.
That guy kept dribbling and breaking through the ball, and he would fail eight times in ten times. The remaining two times were not enough to reach much threat. Millwall's other players were almost forgotten. Darren Bent, who had a hot report before the game, did not make any threats at all.
Under this situation, Real Madrid should be the first to score.
Now the goal has finally appeared, but it belongs to Mirwall, who is 'badly performing', rather than the strong Real Madrid.
Real Madrid fans are a little unacceptable.
Real Madrid players were even more unacceptable on the field. They didn't pay much attention to it just now, and they wanted to continue to launch their offensive when the set piece ended, preferably to get the lead in the first half.
But... the ball entered?
Direct shot?
The ball just now was really exciting. It was because they were professional players and were among the best ones that they knew more clearly how difficult it was to play that ball!
Will this goal be the best goal in the Champions League quarterfinals?
Many Real Madrid players thought in surprise and couldn't help but turn to look at Simpson.
At this time, the Millwall players began to celebrate.
After the football flew into the goal, Simpson jumped from the spot and hugged Livermore next to him with an excited hug, but the result did not seem to be very good. Livermore was a little bit like "revenge private revenge". He used a lot of strength, which made Simpson regret giving him a chance.
Braniff rushed over, patting Simpson on the shoulder, emphasizing, "That's the opportunity I created! You should thank me!"
"Thank you! Thank you!"
While Simpson was happy, he didn't bother with Braniff.
Other players rushed over, laughing and making a fuss on the court, and many teammates also envied Simpson.
This is a goal from the Bernabeu Stadium!
In the away game between the Champions League quarterfinals and Real Madrid, there is no need to say a goal worth a thousand gold. Anyone hopes to break the goal of Real Madrid, only Simpson did it.
Everyone is envious.
At the same time, they have to admit that Simpson's set pieces are getting sharper and sharper.
Off-field.
Real Madrid coach Capello frowned.
When Emerson made a foul just now, Capello felt something was wrong. What he considered was that the yellow card was a bit worthwhile because Branif did not directly threaten the goal, so there was no need to use a foul to stop it.
But unexpectedly, the foul not only did not stop the attack, but instead allowed Millwall to complete the goal.
This is a loss!
Capello recalled the game, from Braniff's continuous dribbling to Simpson's two set pieces, the first time did not pose much threat, and the second time, just now, he directly scored the ball.
"Did that the player named Braniff...was it intentional?"
Capello couldn't help but think.
But Capello immediately shook his head. He didn't believe that the opponent would arrange such a tactic. Not to mention that Braniff was very careful, Real Madrid would not take the initiative to foul in a dangerous position. In addition, even if he created a set piece, would the opponent's players definitely score?
Simpson?
Capello still shook his head. He didn't think a young player with little fame would have world-class set-piece skills.
When it comes to set pieces, Real Madrid has many masters.
Veterans include Carlos, Beckham, and new stars include Diarra, Robinho, etc. Everyone's level is not bad. If Mirwall wants to win against Real Madrid, it is impossible to rely on a young man who is not very famous. The ball just now was very beautiful, but it is impossible to grasp the set piece, and it is just a chance to play, so it is impossible to replicate.
On the other side, on the coach's seat, coaches, players, team doctors and others rushed out.
Zhang Yang stood on the sidelines and applauded.
Simpson's set-piece kick was very exciting and helped the team score a gold goal.
This goal is so important!
Millwall has always been in a passive situation. In addition to away factors, the gap in lineup strength between the two sides is the key.
With such a large lineup gap, it is very small to rely on normal attacks to complete goals. Real Madrid plays so conservatively at home, and it is very difficult to complete goals.
In the first round, goals are also very important.
This round of confrontation is at the Bernabeu Stadium. Mirvoor's goal is a away goal. If both sides draw in the end, the winner will be determined by the away goal number. If there is a away goal, the advantage will be great.
Otherwise, Millwall will be very passive.
Now that Simpson can complete the goal, the game's reservation goal is basically achieved. Whether there are unexpected surprises depends on the team's performance next.
Others were also surprised at the goal.
The Spanish commentator was very surprised. His expected game was that Real Madrid would be the first to complete the goal and continue to defeat Mirwall with an overwhelming advantage, using one round to determine the advantage, but Mirwall was the first to score.
After analyzing the goal, the Spanish commentator began to talk about Simpson who scored. "The one who scored just now was Simpson, a Canadian player. The information shows that he came to London very early and was from Millwall youth training. He was a player trained by Millwall Club."
"Since last season, Simpson has become Millwall's main pick. He played as a right forward. His position has been adjusted to the middle this season. He has always performed well. He scored eight goals in the Premier League, and there are... three goals in the Champions League?!"
Looking at the data on the data, the Spanish commentator was quite surprised. In fact, the data was prepared long ago, but before the game he only checked the information of a few key players, such as Darren Bent, Braniff, and Quaresma, who once joined Barcelona, compared to the above players, Simpson was very "low-key" and even a little inconspicuous.
Unexpectedly, Simpson's data is quite gorgeous!
There are quite a lot of eight goals in the Premier League, and more than half of the league have been, but after all, there are still more than ten rounds. Now they can score eight goals, which means that the end of the season, and it is absolutely fine to score more than ten goals.
Ten goals!
For a midfielder, this data is quite amazing. There are not many midfielders who scored ten goals in a single season in the entire Premier League and even Europe.
In addition, three more were scored in the Champions League group stage!
With these three goals, Simpson is also ranked seventh in the Champions League scorer list, which is comparable to the "Real Madrid Prince" Raul, but the two are actually incomparable. Raul is an excellent striker, Simpson is just a new midfielder, but the two have the same goals.
What does this mean?
The Spanish commentator was a little unimaginable, and he couldn't help but remind him, "It seems that Real Madrid should be alert!"
Simpson helped Millwall score first, but the game was not optimistic.
After conceding the ball, Real Madrid launched a crazy attack on Mirwall. Their style of play is still a bit conservative, but just relying on the performance of the midfield and frontcourt is enough to suppress Mirwall.
The biggest danger is the gap in players' abilities.
Real Madrid's lineup is too gorgeous.
Real Madrid is the world's top star in every position. Millwall is at a comprehensive disadvantage in one-on-one defense. In addition to Livermore and Zambrota, who are not inferior to Real Madrid players, even Darren Ward feels pressure because he has to face the 'king of the penalty area' Van Nie, and occasionally needs to help defend Raul.
Under such great defensive pressure, Millwall had to shrink his defense line.
Braniff is back.
Simpson, Pire, Quaresma is back.
Except for one Darren Bente, all other players returned to the half to participate in the defense. Everyone knew what the next goal was: defend until the end of the half.
With a goal advantage, you must keep the advantage until halftime. After adjusting during the halftime break, if you have a lead in the second half, you must be much easier to play.
But in the end Mirwall still failed to defend the goal.
The goal came very suddenly.
That was in the 43rd minute, Zhang Yang used "predictive" to make a judgment, but the time was limited and there was no time to adjust. He could only use "Speaking and Fa Sui" to stop it. The facts once again proved that "Speaking and Fa Sui" was not omnipotent. The effect on Raul was only a little smaller. Van Nie pushed Darren Ward in the penalty area and sent the ball into the goal with his head.
"What a pity!"
Seeing Van Nie complete the goal, Zhang Yang felt a little regretful, because the 'say and method' was likely to turn into a goal, but it did not play the role it should have.
But Zhang Yang was prepared.
Real Madrid's lineup is too strong, and Mirwall has a huge gap.
Millwall's tactics have no shortcomings. The only thing they are afraid of is the gap in lineup strength. When the overall strength of the opponent is stronger than Millwall's strength using tactical bonuses, the tactics are equivalent to losing their effect. On the court, the advantage is equivalent to losing it.
To defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League, it is not possible to rely solely on the spot. Even with the effects of magical powers and abilities, the chance of eliminating Real Madrid is not great, so you must think of some other methods.
This is also the reason why Zhang Yang used Braniff to create public opinion. Otherwise, he would not say much nonsense if he could defeat his opponent in a dignified manner.
Now Real Madrid's strength advantage is truly reflected.
Chapter completed!
