"Good evening for everyone, everyone. I believe everyone has been looking forward to the Champions League knockout round for a long time. The 2009-2010 Champions League knockout round officially kicked off today.

Today we will broadcast the first leg of the 1/8 finals at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.

Monaco and Real Madrid performed well in the group stage. Both teams scored 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. The difference is that Monaco ranked second in the group, and Real Madrid advanced to the top. The meeting of the two teams in the top 16 brought back many memories of fans on both sides. In the knockout match of the 200-2004 season, Monaco's shocking reversal of Real Madrid seemed to still remember it. At that time, Real Madrid had a huge star in the team, and Monaco's players were no longer left. Casillas and Raul talked about the confrontation with Monaco that year. They all said that Monaco now has no Morientes, and the possibility of their miracle has been reduced a lot.

Haha, although there are no Morientes, Gully, and Roten in Monaco now, they now have equally exciting young stars.

Chinese young coach Situ Yunbing has transformed the team in more than a year since coaching Monaco. Now Monaco's main lineup is strong. He has personally created stars like Gareth Bale, Moro, Matic, etc. Suarez's strength has also improved significantly since he came to Monaco from Ajax.

Today, the atmosphere of Louis II stadium was full of energy. Many fans in the stands held up slogans. We could clearly see Kaka's name and Ronaldo's name. Of course, many Monaco home team fans also played slogans to support their team.

This seems to be a football feast!

Let's take a look at the lineup of the two teams today.

Monaco 442

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonheng, Moreau.

Midfielders: Witsel, Perez, Nkuru, Matic.

Forward: Suarez, Gareth Bale.

Although Falcao, another main striker in Monaco, has recovered from injury, he is suspected of being in a state of being in trouble because he was injured for too long. Situ Yunbing did not include him on the roster. In some pre-match shots, we saw Falcao sitting in a box and watching the game with his friends.

This lineup is the most frequently used main lineup in Monaco since 2010. I believe that in order to face Real Madrid, Situ Yunbing has also strengthened the running-in after the team's personnel changes.

Real Madrid is away 4 today

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Aberoa, Ramos, Albiol, Marcelo.

Midfielder: Diyala, Kaka, Alonso.

Forwards: Granero, Higuain, Ronaldo.

The resources in Pellegrini's hands are obviously stronger than Situ Yunbing. The main lineup may be doubtful about Granero today. Real Madrid has enviable players on the bench, including Benzema, Raul, Lhasa Diyala, Gago, Gare and other stars.

The bench here in Monaco is relatively mediocre.

This showdown is about to begin, let’s see if today’s showdown will repeat the classic from five years ago!”

Louis II witnessed the challenge of visiting Real Madrid with two Golden Ballers. The home team fans were obviously much more nervous than the away team fans, but this aroused their cheering momentum!

When the referee blew the whistle to the start of the first half, Monaco took the lead in kicking off.

Without temptation or adaptation, Monaco quickly launched a fast attack!

The pace of the Champions League is faster than any event in France. Monaco has already felt it in the Champions League group stage. When playing the knockout round, the requirements for the team are higher. If it takes a few minutes to get into the game, then the home advantage will be almost gone!

Instead of waiting for the opponent to adapt to the away atmosphere and familiarize themselves with the venue, the whole team accelerated the pace and took the lead in attacking. Monaco might as well come and start the game. If Real Madrid is not in shape, they might even be caught off guard.

Nkuru passed the ball diagonally from the backcourt on the left, Moro quickly stepped forward and dribbled the ball past Granero. Situ Yunbing nodded secretly when he saw this scene. Moro's performance

It is now proved that his confidence has not been shaken by the overall strength of his opponent.

After halfway through the ball, before Diyala could defend the sideline, Moro took the ball into the right side of the penalty area.

Suarez quickly countered offside and stepped forward, and Albiol retreated and headed the ball successfully cleared.

The soccer ball that was pushed out fell behind the center circle. Alonso just stopped the ball here and encountered Perez's counterattack. He wandered around in a leisurely manner and retreated for two steps before knocking the ball across the left.

The three South American heroes who landed at Bernabeu, Gago, Marcelo and Higuain, who were also the best legacy given to the club by the former chairman of Real Madrid. However, Gago, who was known as Redondo's successor, had no living space in Real Madrid, and Marcelo and Higuain made a name for themselves.

Marcelo has the potential stock that has the capital to compete for the world's number one left-back, but now he still needs to increase his experience and experience. Strong offense and weak defense are the most embarrassing taboos for full-backs. Full-backs without offensive ability cannot become top-level full-backs, but full-backs who are not good at basic defense have no place to gain a foothold, so when can they reach the attack and collect them back, the full-backs are qualified to enter the room and squeeze into the top ranks.

Marcelo naturally wanted to pass the ball to Ronaldo or Kaka as soon as possible, but under the blockade of Vitsel's blockade without pressing, he could only pass the ball to Kaka who was responding with his back.

When Kaka was responding with her back, Perez immediately turned around and grabbed him. Kaka plucked the ball across and wanted to complete the turn from the middle to push forward. As a result, just as the ball was plucked to the center area, Matic stepped forward and took the ball off!

Situ Yunbing nodded and applauded on the sidelines. He repeatedly ordered Kaka to wade the ball and start the space before the game.

Although Kaka is a South American star, he is more like a European player. He is skilled but does not have many fancy moves. He basically gives him space to break through the ball. He is an invincible existence and no one can defend himself. He plays with a big opening and closing style.

Therefore, the guard against Kaka must make him unable to rush up first. If he rushes up, then the defenders behind him will quickly shrink their defense line and reduce the space for him to wade through.

After Matic intercepted the ball, he quickly passed the ball diagonally in front of the left side.

Garez Bale pulled the ball to the side. When Aberoa grabbed the ball, Garez Bale also dribbled back. Aberoa quickly followed up and continued to press. Garez Bale dribbled the ball into the middle and turned around quickly after getting the ball. Suarez came to take the initiative to receive the ball and sent out the oblique plug.

Aberoa also turned around, but Garez Bale forced speed up around the outside and cut inward to seize the position, which made Aberoa very uncomfortable. When Garez Bale dribbled across the ball near the baseline and threw Aberoa away, he showed excellent competitive state, which surprised Real Madrid's defense.

When he first stepped into the penalty area, Gareth Bale suddenly pivoted the ball against Ramos and changed direction toward the outside of the penalty area. This was to open the angle. Ramos also quickly cut across Gareth Bale's running line.

As a result, Gareth Bale fell to the ground after hitting him.

The clamor of the home team fans suddenly sounded at the Louis II Stadium!

"Will there be a little ball? No! The referee crossed his hands and signaled that Ramos did not commit a foul!

Gareth Bale turned around and fell to the ground by Ramos. This penalty is worth discussing, but the game has just begun, so it is reasonable for the referee to be cautious."

Diyala controlled the football and passed the ball short to Alonso, who retreated to the front of the penalty area, who made a long pass on the spot after stopping the ball.

The football flew to the left side of the front court.

Ronaldo was snatched back by Witsel as soon as he stopped the ball on the wing. The Portuguese superstar, who was in his prime, pulled the ball forward and adjusted the direction while speeding up and starting the dribbling.

He immediately left Vitsel behind, Kaka quickly followed up in the middle, and Monaco's midfield defense also quickly retreated. Perez wisely did not assist in the sidelines, but instead retreated in a straight line before Ronaldo cut inside to the left in front of the penalty area.

Defensive Kaka is different from defending Ronaldo. Defensive Ronaldo should pay more attention to protecting the inside. This superstar who scores better than the sky prefers shooting after cutting in. Maybe Situ Yunbing should be glad that he has not yet transformed in a few years.

Ronaldo is a shooter. Now Ronaldo is dribbling more on the wing and cutting inward. In another two or three years, Ronaldo will become a free agent in the frontcourt and is closer to the goal. The inertia of capturing the opportunity to score points is greater than that of his own dribbling to create a shooting opportunity.

After Ronaldo cut inside from the wing, he found that Modesto also entered the inside, so Modesto and Perez formed a tight protection for the inside. Although Kaka followed up in the middle, it didn't seem much under the attack of Nkuru and Matic.

Alonso's counterattack instigated from the backcourt would not have been able to kill him so quickly!

However, Marcelo quickly got off the side. After Ronaldo saw him running across the sideways in parallel, he decisively sent the ball diagonally to the bottom line on the left side.

After the ball was released, Ronaldo stepped forward into the penalty area, Marcelo stopped the ball from the bottom of the wing, and Real Madrid's attack speed made Monaco fans numb!

Modesto still dared not run out of the outside and pressed Marcelo closely. The current situation can only wait to see how Marcelo would deal with the ball.

Marcelo chose to pass the ball and flew straight to the front of the goal. When Benatia and Vertonheng were both marking Higuain, Ronaldo rushed out and jumped up and headed the ball!

The football flew straight to the upper left corner of Monaco's goal. Since it was a close corner, De Gea moved to the close corner when Marcelo made a cross. When everyone thought that Ronaldo was like a giant header in Monaco's penalty area, he would definitely get a goal. De Gea's right hand touched the football with half of his right hand and barely supported the ball above the crossbar!

call!

The audience was amazed!

Ronaldo showed regret on his face, but his mentality was still very relaxed. He turned around and smiled and gave Marcelo a thumbs up.
Chapter completed!
