Chapter 172 Job Hunting

"Keep going! Keep going! Let's keep going! Our attack is working!"

After completing a shot, Benzema excitedly shouted to his teammates.

After 30 minutes into the game, Benzema felt that his condition was getting better and better, and his thoughts became extremely clear.

This allowed him to better distribute the ball and organize the work.

Of course, the most important thing is that after his outstanding performance, what he asked for can also be confirmed.

In fact, Benzema hopes to complete a stepping stone through this game.

He wants to knock on the door of the office of the French national team coach Deschamps.

In last year's European Cup, Benzema was not selected for the French national team's roster, and he was not even nominated.

Although this has some impact on the previous scandal, such a powerful player will not be abandoned by Deschamps at the World Cup.

So, Benzema hopes to let Deschamps see himself through his performance.

The list of the French national team has not yet been announced, but the selection has begun.

For this, Benzema needs to make more efforts.

The most important thing is that in this game, his opponent Giroud is his competitor in the national team.

Benzema wants to suppress Giroud through his performance. If Real Madrid can win the Champions League, it will be even better.

By then, he will not only suppress Giroud in the game, but also win the Champions League.

Deschamps will not turn a blind eye to a Champions League champion center and himself who suppresses Giroud, right?

And now, all this may be realized, how can Benzema not be excited.

Benzema is in good shape, and his running position is erratic, which makes it difficult for Arsenal to restrict him.

At the same time, Arsenal cannot just focus on Benzema alone, Ronaldo also needs attention.

And the latter is more threatening.

"Real Madrid's offense has become more suppressive. With Benzema's performance, Real Madrid's midfield has gradually been liberated. Modric and Kroos's passing has become much easier, and these two can also participate in the offense from time to time!"

Benzema relied on his own ability to drive the entire Real Madrid team.

It has to be said that Real Madrid's galactic battleship is not blown up.

Any player is a star level and has extremely strong abilities.

They can all help the team get out of trouble when the team is in trouble.

Just like Benzema now.

"Why did this guy suddenly look like he had eaten Y!"

Hummels couldn't help but complain.

Benzema has brought them too much trouble.

After all the calculations, Benzema was missed.

In the previous tactical meeting of Arsenal, Ronaldo, Modric, Kroos and other talents were the most threatening players.

Benzema's performance this season cannot be said to be too outstanding, but he suddenly broke out in this game.

And the performance is getting better and better, as if he wants to drill through Arsenal's defense.

Mourinho and Arteta are also standing together on the sidelines.

They can also feel the threat from Benzema.

And this threat is still increasing.

There are about ten minutes left before the end of the first half.

Can Arsenal hold on until the adjustment?

On the other side, at the Real Madrid coaching bench, Zidane kept waving forward, signaling the players to increase their offensive strength.

Under Zidane's call, Real Madrid's attack became more and more sharp.

The ball was constantly passed to Benzema, who organized the frontcourt.

In each touch, Benzema was always able to threaten Arsenal's defense.

This also made Benzema play more and more confidently, and even the number of breakthroughs in the middle became more.

Although he failed to score any goals, Real Madrid has already had three shots on target at the current position.

This is not good news for Arsenal.

As time goes by, the pressure on Arsenal's defense is gradually increasing.

40 minutes.

There are only five minutes left in the first half.

At this time, Arsenal players need to be more vigilant. In the last period of time, Real Madrid's attack is bound to be more intense.

This is indeed the case. When there were only five minutes left in the first half, Real Madrid's attack was like a raging tide, hitting Arsenal in waves.

Benzema became the commander of these waves, constantly attacking the weak points of Arsenal's defense.

Once!

Twice!

Three times!

Finally, on the third time, Yin Wobi slipped and failed to get close to Benzema who was retreating in the first time.

Benzema took advantage of the situation and rubbed the ball behind him with the outside of his foot.

The ball passed Benzema's right shoulder and flew in front of Ronaldo.

"It's bad!"

Seeing Ronaldo's pursuit, the Arsenal players were also shocked and immediately retreated at full speed.

Ronaldo gently cushioned the ball with the instep of his foot, and at the same time, he entered the penalty area and shot.

But at the moment of swinging his right leg, he suddenly turned sideways and split the ball to the middle.

Jimenez's face changed drastically, and he immediately stretched out his foot to intercept.

But this foot was too slow, and the ball passed by Jimenez's toes and came to the middle in an arc.

And at that place, Benzema rushed over and shot with his toes.

The ball went under the crotch of Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez, went through a small door, and then went into the goal.

42 minutes.

At the moment when the first half was about to end, Real Madrid actually scored.

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

!

"

yelled the Spanish commentator.

With the unique Spanish overtones, he seemed extremely excited.

The Bernabeu Stadium also experienced 42 minutes of silence before being detonated in an instant.

Real Madrid fans kept shouting with excitement.

After waves of constant attacks, they finally scored just before the end of the first half.

Benzema also rushed towards the corner kick at the moment he scored.

Benzema rushed all the way to the camera, knocked on it, and immediately lifted up his jersey to reveal the lining inside.

Under the white lining, there is an image of the Hercules Trophy painted on it.

This is easy to understand.

"While celebrating, Benzema approached the French national team coach Didier Deschamps for a job!"

"In last year's European Cup, Benzema was not selected for the national team. Obviously he regretted this. For this reason, before the national team list was announced, he had already started calling Deschamps!"

"If Benzema wins the Champions League with Real Madrid this season, then he is likely to be called up to the French national team!"

After Benzema finished celebrating, he hugged Ronaldo and others.

Benzema seemed very happy at this time.

On the one hand, he helped the team solve the dilemma, and on the other hand, he scored goals.

Of course, the most important thing is to succeed.

As long as this game is won, Deschamps will definitely notice him under the exaggeration of the media.

When Benzema was celebrating, Giroud also looked over.

Of course, he didn't notice the Hercules Cup on Benzema's chest. After all, Benzema's back was turned to him.

But Giroud's face was still extremely heavy.

Giroud was able to enter the French national team and serve as a starter, largely due to the absence of Benzema.

He didn't want to lose the starting position he had finally earned.

If he is suppressed by Benzema in this game and Arsenal loses the game, it will be even worse for him.

The expressions of other Arsenal players were equally solemn.

They had a two-goal advantage before, but now it has been shortened to one goal.

If Real Madrid scores a second goal, the advantage will shift to Real Madrid's side.

This is a situation Arsenal does not want to see.

Fortunately, they will get an adjustment time as the first half is coming to an end.

After Real Madrid finished celebrating, the first half of the game came to an end.

Real Madrid and Arsenal both relaxed a little, and they were not too anxious.

In the next three minutes, both sides kicked back and forth.

Real Madrid had no intention of attacking, and Arsenal had no intention of tying the score.

Both went for halftime adjustments.

With the tacit understanding between the two teams, three minutes passed quickly.

The whistle sounded at the end of the first half.

Players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another.

The expressions of the Arsenal players were slightly solemn.

The Real Madrid players were more relaxed, but for Real Madrid, they were still lagging behind, so they also needed to make some adjustments in the second half.
