Chapter 126: Crumbling

  Madrid's Ordaleza district.

  Carlo sat on the soft sofa, staring straight at the TV in front of him, and his nerves were tense.

  Sihe start of the game, he had not rexed for a moment.

  The st round of La Liga kicked off simultaneously, and the TV broadcast chose to show the most-watched Real Madrid away game against Sevil. Occasionally, they would switch to show the pictures and score annous of Bara's away game against Athletic Bilbao.

  Before this battle, many people felt that Real Madrid might give up the game.

  Whearting lineup was announced, even the live broadcast entators were puzzled, thinking that Real Madrid inteo focus on the Champions League final and strategically abandon this game.

  But only Carlo khat Gao Shen hought of giving up from the beginning.

  That night, Gao Shen had told him clearly that if they gave up the game in Sevil, they would lose the Champions League final without a fight.

  Carlo thought so too.

  But he did not expect that Gao Shen would arrange such a starting lineup, especially putting Arbeloa as a left-back.

  Pyers like Baptista and Pablo Garcia pying was not surprising at all.

  Before joining Real Madrid, Baptista was Sevil's top scorer, and Pablo Garcia was Osasuna's midfield barrier. Gao Shen arranging these two pyers to py in Sevil made perfect sense.

  But Arbeloa pying on the left? Was this reliable?

  As the game got underway, Arbeloa quickly showed his versatility.

  Gradually, he made many people fet that he was actually a right-back.

  He did not show any disfort on the left; in fact, he seemed familiar with the position as if he had pyed there for a long time.

  Carlo was surprised, but he khat some pyers were like that.

  For example, Zambrotta of Juventus and Lahm of Bayern Munich.

  No ohought Abeloa had this side to him.

  So, Carlo was relieved.

  As long as Sevil's right fnk was frozen, Real Madrid's defensive pressure would be greatly reduced, and there would be opportunities for ter-attack goals.

  Sure enough, just five minutes into the game, Real Madrid scored.

  Who would have thought of this?

  Not to mention Carlo, even the most optimistic Real Madrid fan did not expect the goal to e so quickly.

  The live broadcast switched to the Bara game, showing that it was still zero to zero.

  Even five minutes in, Bara had not yet taken a shot.

  "Bara is a bit passive," the TV entator analyzed the first five minutes.

  But soon, the broadcast cut back to the Pizjuan Stadium.

  Carlo kept praying in his heart; as long as they maintaihis goal advantage, Real Madrid would have a ce.

  Bara was still at zero to zero.

  He kept shouting in his heart, asking Real Madrid to stay steady and hold on.

  Sevil pyed a terattad created a dangerous situation but failed to break Real Madrid's goal.

  After Gao Shen's coag, Real Madrid's defense had bee increasingly solid, and it showed results at this time.

  Sevil failed to break Real Madrid's goal but was hit by a quick terattack that once agairated their defense.

  Felipe drove straight in, and Palop's shot caused Palop to let go.

  Ronaldo, who was close by, got the ball past the goalkeeper and volleyed it into the empty goal.

  Two to zero!

  ped up from his seat excitedly.

  He saw that Gao Shen was even more excited than him, rushing out of the coach's and area to celebrate the goal with the pyers.

  Oh my god, two goals!

  Carlo was so excited!

  He did not expect Real Madrid to py so steadily and so well tonight.

  Even, he felt that even if Real Madrid didn't win the championship tonight, no one would bme Gao Shen.

  Because it wouldn't be his fault.

  He lost to Bara because of Lusenberg's 0-3 game.

  Based on his results alone, he beat Bara.

  But Gao Shen was still not satisfied. After being shown a yellow card by the referee, he tinued calling to the pyers on the sidelines.

  No one knew what he was shouting, but it robably something about staying steady.

  With a two-goal advantage in hand, there was o fight with Sevil at this time.

  If they could win steadily, they might as well save some energy.

  At this time, the live broadcast switched to Bara's game, showing it was still zero to zero.

  Bara's performance improved from the beginning, but they still failed to break Athletic Bilbao's goal.

  "Bara is having trouble opening up their offehe entator analyzed.

  Carlo thought of Rijkaard's formation and a series ame as, including media interferend pressure.

  At least, Rijkaard did ne for Xavi or Ia to py.

  Suddenly, Carlo had a feeling that Baright draw.

  But this thought sted less than ten minutes.

  When Real Madrid finished another terattack but failed to score, the broadcast suddenly switched to Bara's game.

  The live camera showed Athletic Bilbao's No. 15 pyer, Elora, rushing out of the stadium excitedly, with the entire San Mames Stadium bursting into cheers.

  "Elora, Elora!!!!"

  "Ih minute, Elora broke the deadlock for Athletic Bilbao!"

  The repy showed the entire sg process.

  After a midfield steal, Athletic Bilbao quickly unched a terattack.

  Llorente, ag as a fulcrum at the front of the penalty area, received the ball a a wonderful pass from his back.

  This was the sed time he had sent a pass to Elora in this game.

  This was definitely a ter-attack routine carefully prepared by Athletic Bilbao.

  Last time, Elora's shot was blocked by Valdes, but this time, Elora calmly seized the opportunity.

  1-0!

  Carlo was stunned!

  He fot to celebrate, cheer, or eve.

  He just stared at the TV, his mind bnk, uo believe what he saw.

  Athletic Bilbao scored?

  ...

  ...

  In a mansion outside Madrid, Florentino stood up from his seat.

  The goals by Baptista and Ronaldo hadn't made him stand up, but Athletic Bilbao's goal did.

  Oh my god, Athletic Bilbao had a goal lead!

  The former president of Real Madrid poio the TV and looked at his personal assistant, Manuel Redondo, uo believe it and wanting to ask, is this true?

  But he eechless for a long time.

  Redondo was already overjoyed, full of surprise aement, nodding vigorously.

  After a few seds, he shouted loudly, "Bara lost the ball! Bara lost the ball!!!"

  Florentino also snapped back to reality, sitting ba the sofa, uo stop ughing.

  This surprise came as a pleasant shock!

  ...

  ...

  At this moment, all over the world, tless media and fans saw Bara's goal.

  Real Madrid led by two goals, while Bara trailed 0-1.

  What this meant, everyone knew.

  People who uood this were extremely shocked aed, even if they weren't Real Madrid fans. This didn't prevent them from beied at this moment.

  From gging behind by ten points, chasing all the ersisting to the st round of the game, and finally under pressure, they were ushering in the opportunity to reverse!

  The TV footage, broadcast live to the world, switched back to the Pizjuan Stadium.

  The game tinued.

  Real Madrid was still two goals ahead, and Sevil ressing hard.

  The live footage showed the visiting team coa the sidelines, revealing that Gao Shen suddenly ched his fists, wanting to shout out with excitement but forcibly holding back.

  His hands were shaking violently, and his face became grim with excitement, but he gradually calmed down, taking deep breaths to stabilize his emotions.

  Then, he walked to the sidelines and stood in the and area again, very straight, like a lighthouse standing on a reef by the sea.

  Even the live TV entator was a little lost iement, but after seeing Gao Shen's rea, he couldn't help but praise: "He's right, the game is not over yet. There's no reason to be excited at this time."

  "Sevil is not an underdog. If Real Madrid shows the slightest sck, they could be attacked at any time. Bara is the stroeam in Europe today. Ohey react, they could break through or even reverse Athletic Bilbao's goal at any time."

  "It's not time to celebrate. The game is not over, and the suspense of the La Liga title has not finally settled."

  "Gao Shen shows the rare ess of a mature head coach. He even trolled his excitement, which I admire very much."

  ...

  ...

  Gao Shen chose a cold approach!

  Although his heart was extremely excited, he did not show the slightest bit.

  The first half ended 2-0. As usual, he went to the sidelio shake hands and hug the pyers, sending them into the tunnel and into the locker room.

  Real Madrid's coag staff and personnel received Gao Shen's instrus to stay cool. Even when pyers asked about the score, they only replied that Bara was temporarily behind, reminding them they must win!

  Yes, Bara's g was only temporary.

  But Real Madrid had to win!

  When Gao Shen walked into the locker room, the first thing he did raise the pyers for their first-half performand express his satisfa with the 2-0 result. However, he also remihem that Real Madrid must keep this two-goal advantage.

  "There is still the sed half. Anything ge. The only stant is that we only win the championship if we win this game!"

  Gao Shen warhe pyers to put aside all distras and focus on the game.

  This situation had been discussed with the pyers before the game and emphasized repeatedly in the locker room.

  Real Madrid's lead by two goals is not secure, and Bara's temp is not reliable because there is still the sed half.

  The Real Madrid pyers knew before the game that they might find themselves in such a situation and were already mentally prepared.

  Don't think about anything else, keep fog on the game!Whether we win the championship or not, we will discuss after we win this game.
