Chapter 592 I'll give you a chance, you're useless
At 7:35 on Saturday night, the [-]th round of La Liga officially started.
Leaders Real Madrid take on Sevilla at the Bernabeu.
The league championship situation is still grim, although Real Madrid played a game against Chelsea three days ago, and their energy consumption was too high.
But the main players did not get a rest and continued to start the game.
The current points of the three heroes of La Liga are Real Madrid 81, Barcelona 81, and Atletico Madrid 79. The gap is very small.
In the remaining four rounds, as long as there is a mistake in one game, the top position will change hands.
With Barcelona and Atletico Madrid out of the Champions League, the pressure on Real Madrid, which is fighting on two fronts, is enormous.
Sevilla has always been the sufferer of Real Madrid, not because they are very strong, but because their defensive actions are not clean.
Sevilla, who booked No.4 in La Liga in advance, has no desires and desires in this game, and is even better in mentality.
Under the influence of many unfavorable factors, even in the home game, Real Madrid took less than half of the advantage in the scene.
Varane's injury put Real Madrid's defense to the test again.
Zidane even drew defender Miguel Gutierrez from the second team as a substitute in case of emergency.
After the start of the game, the Sevilla players took the lead in entering the state, using pressure to limit Real Madrid's passing.
Lacking the defense of Ramos and Varane, and losing the ability to play the ball in the backcourt, the pressure on the midfield team doubled instantly.
Modric frequently retreated to take the ball to relieve the pressure on the defense.
Kroos was even pressed by his opponent, and even made a small foul, so he was unable to launch a counterattack.
In the past 30 minutes of the first half, the score between the two sides was still 0:0, and Kroos' hairstyle was messed up.
One can imagine how fierce Sevilla's defense is.
Due to injuries to many players in the defense, Zidane did not abandon the controversial three-back system when playing against Chelsea.
Valverde's comeback allowed Real Madrid to follow the tactical thinking of the national derby and switch back and forth between three central defenders and five central defenders.
This tactic is naturally also a warm-up for the life-and-death battle at Stamford Bridge in the middle of next week.
On the defensive end, Valverde's role is still obvious, consolidating the right line of defense very well.
But when switching from defense to offense, Kroos and Modric were restricted, which seriously affected Real Madrid's counterattack speed.
The tactic of turning from the strong side to the weak side could not be implemented. Zidane took the lead in making adjustments and countered with the opponent's offensive line.
If Sevilla attack Real Madrid on the left, then after the ball is converted, Real Madrid's offensive will start from the left, and there is no need to transfer to the weak defensive right.
In this process, Rossi's retracement played a decisive role.
In the 35th minute, Real Madrid launched a counterattack from the right.
Under the intensive defense of the opponent, Valverde and Rossi tore apart the line of defense by colliding with the wall.
Valverde, who was full of impact, sprinted quickly along the wing.
At the same time, Rossi and Benzema also quickly advanced to follow up, forming three arrows.
Valverde has been dribbling the ball near the bottom line, suddenly pulled the ball and turned around, avoiding the defender's personal interception, and passed the ball back to Rossi on the right side outside the penalty area.
Sevilla's defense retreated relatively deep, and for a while no one marked Rossi outside the penalty area, allowing him to easily get the ball.
With four defensive players in the penalty area, Rossi had no chance to shoot at all and immediately passed the ball across to Modric near the top of the penalty area.
After passing the ball, Rossi did not stay where he was, but slanted into the middle of the penalty area at the fastest speed.
His run attracted all the defense on the left side of Sevilla.
The full-backs and defensive midfielders both retracted to protect the center.
In this way, Sevilla's defense on the left side has no lateral coverage, exposing the gap on the side to Valverde.
Modric's just-right pass gave Valverde an easy shot.
The latter also lived up to expectations, with a burst shot, hitting a very close corner with a very small angle, giving Real Madrid the lead.
But the leading advantage could not be maintained until the end of the first half. Sevilla seized a free kick in the frontcourt and quickly equalized the score.
Lotte Paige, who once coached Real Madrid for a short time, knows the defense of his old club very well.
In the competition for the first spot in front of the goal, Real Madrid has the advantage.
Therefore, Sevilla avoided the important and took the light, using free kick tactics to pull Real Madrid's defense line.
The Real Madrid players were eager to counterattack, and the strikers in the penalty area tended to move forward, resulting in insufficient defensive personnel.
At this time, Sevilla will pass the ball again, and they will have a certain advantage in the penalty area to compete for the landing point, thus scoring a goal.
Some unexpected conceded goals made the Real Madrid players feel the pressure.
During the intermission, Zidane rearranged the tactical tasks, because the opponent's defense did not have enough counterattack speed, and through active frontcourt pressure, the formation was greatly premised.
After adjustments, Real Madrid did gain some offensive advantages in the second half.
Although Sevilla is a bit weak on the offensive end, as the strikers retreat to the midfield to bring a numerical advantage, the Real Madrid midfielder dare not attack too much forward.
Unable to score goals for a long time, the Real Madrid players gradually showed anxiety in their mentality.
Asensio and Vinicius came off the bench successively, wanting to make some changes on the offensive end.
Sevilla is not arrogant or impetuous, defends patiently, counterattacks when there is a chance, or uses the ability of the players to create set-piece opportunities in the frontcourt.
In the 78th minute, Sevilla got another opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt.
But this time, it was passed directly to the penalty area.
After center En Nesri's header bounced off Militao's body, Real Madrid seized the opportunity and played a wave of quick counterattacks.
Kroos' precise guidance in the backcourt, Benzema headed the ball back, and the ball came to Rossi who succeeded in anti-offside.
With his excellent running position, Rossi formed a single shot and faced the opposing goalkeeper directly.
Bunu hit the ground to catch the ball, but was swayed away by Rossi with a fake move.
Bunu missed the ball and threw Rossi down instead.
This is an undisputed yellow card + penalty kick package, but the referee's penalty made this incident a polar reversal.
The VAR replay showed that En Nesri's header hit Militao's arm in the penalty area before Real Madrid counterattacked.
Not only did Real Madrid not get a penalty, but instead gave their opponent a penalty.
Naturally, such a penalty was strongly protested by the Bernabéu fans and booed everywhere.
I have only heard of call transfers for love, but I have never seen call transfers for penalty kicks.
After the former Barcelona player Rakitic made a penalty kick, he rushed to the sidelines and knelt down.
Sliding and kneeling with him, there are also a large number of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid fans.
If Real Madrid loses this game, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who kicked off late, have the chance to top the list.
With only 10 minutes left, Real Madrid's five substitutions have also been exhausted, and Zidane has no backup.
On the contrary, Sevilla coach Lopetegui strengthened his defense and killed the game time after adjusting through substitutions.
The game soon came to the last minute of regular time, and the referee gave 1 minutes of injury time.
The Bernabéu fans are using their loudest voices to create momentum for the players.
However, Sevilla, which has already returned to defense deeply, has built a tight defense line near the penalty area, and does not give Real Madrid a chance at all.
Only through long shots can we barely threaten the goal.
In the 91st minute, under the cover of Benzema, Casemiro forced a breakthrough and shot directly.
Because the Real Madrid midfielder was oppressed by the opponent before, Casemiro has been focusing on defense and was unable to attack forward.
This time, he finally seized the opportunity. After a forced breakthrough, he took a long shot near the top of the penalty area.
But he never thought that Rossi would actually appear on the line of his shot.
In fact, Rossi's appearance was not an accident.
While constantly moving, he found a hidden forward insertion line.
Coincidentally, Casemiro also found out, but instead of passing the ball, he shot directly.
Rossi wanted to avoid it, but it was too late.
[Casemiro has shot! ! 】
[Ouch, what's going on, the ball actually went in! 】
[It seems that there is a refraction! 】
[Let's take a look at the replay! 】
【Oh, it hit Rossi, and there was a line change! 】
[The score became 2:2! 】
[Real Madrid is still alive in this game! 】
[Precious one point will bring subtle changes to the severe championship situation! 】
[Real Madrid played very hard in this game! 】
[Penalty kicks are not counted, but the opponent gets a penalty kick! 】
【Fate made a big joke for them! 】
[But fate is fair again! 】
[Just in another way, it was returned to Real Madrid! 】
In the end, Real Madrid tied Sevilla with Rossi's accidental goal in stoppage time.
Real Madrid's draw gave hope to the chasing Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
In the weekend's league, Atletico Madrid won away, but Barcelona was unexpectedly drawn, and unfortunately missed the summit.
Give you a chance, but you are useless!
In this way, the three heroes of La Liga have 82 points together.
Real Madrid continues to stay at the top of the list by virtue of the advantage of having more points against each other.
This is a competitive scene that La Liga has not seen for many years.
There are only three rounds left, each of which is a final.
