281 Red Lightning!(1/2)
Madrid, Football Temple.
Santiago - Bernabeu.
Nearly 80,000 fans entered the stadium to watch the world-renowned first leg of the Champions League 1/8 final!
The top 16 game shouldn't have such high attention, but UEFA's draw will order the two giants to meet and stage a century-long battle!
The starting players of the two teams stood on the court to line up for the kick-off ceremony. The camera was given to each player. Then the players of the two teams shook hands before the game, and then the starting photos of the two teams before the game.
"Good evening, everyone, everyone, the Champions League knockout match will be rekindled after three months!
Today we will broadcast a live broadcast to everyone at the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain to comment on the first leg of Real Madrid's 1/8 final against Manchester United.
Both teams are world-class clubs, with equal number of fans around the world and definitely have top traffic.
Therefore, these two rounds of events will inevitably receive world-class attention!
Real Madrid's performance this season is a bit bumpy. Mourinho encountered a crisis of trust in his third year as coach of Real Madrid. The chaos from the locker room is splitting Real Madrid. There are probably more unknown contradictions hidden behind Casillas' abandonment.
Manchester United has always been stable in people's hearts under Ferguson's rule, but what has troubled them is only competitive flaws.
If we count the defensive data of teams participating in the Champions League top 16 in the league, then Manchester United is the worst team to defend!
In the past two years when Vidic and Ferdinand are already suffering from high injuries, Manchester United's defense has never been relieved, especially since they fell into injury after a highlight season at Hargreaves. Since then, no qualified defensive midfielder can support the midfield defense.
Today, facing Real Madrid, which has good attack firepower, can Manchester United escape from the Bernabeu?
Real Madrid starts 433.
Goalkeeper: Diego Lopez.
Defenders: Aberoa, Ramos, Varane, Coentrand.
Midfielder: Khedira, 272, Alonso.
Forwards: Di Maria, Benzema, C Ronaldo.
Manchester United's starter is also 433.
Goalkeeper: De Gea.
Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.
Midfielder: Phil Jones, Shinji Kagawa, Carrick.
Forwards: Van Persie, Rooney, Tang Hong.
Both teams have put out the strongest lineups, let’s see how the two teams perform after the game starts!”
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began!
Real Madrid took the lead in kicking off, and Manchester United launched an active counterattack.
Alonso was intercepted by Rooney when he organized the offensive in the middle, and the former passed the ball to Marcelo from the side.
Real Madrid has been a good player in the fast break under Mourinho's defensive counterattack tactic tone in the past few years, but the positional battles have been relatively vulgar, especially when facing strong teams. This is also the result of Mourinho's first year in Real Madrid when he was playing a national derby with Barcelona for the first time.
It can be said that Mourinho's cards are the best and strongest in his coaching career. He thought he could play in a beautiful game, but he could also oppress his opponents to collapse. As a result, he still got beaten to a strong team, so he still walked back to his previous line and defended first and then attacked!
When Marcelo's straight pass was sent to the front and found Ronaldo, Phil Jones had already assisted in the defense to the wing. Ronaldo stepped on a bicycle against Rafael and accelerated to dribble the ball from the bottom of the outside line and then passed the ball.
Benzema scored a goal in the penalty area, and Ferdinand cleared the ball out of the baseline.
After clearing the ball, Ferdinand immediately reminded his teammates to defend the corner kick and do a good job of man-marking defense.
The corner kick taken by 272 was cleared by Phil Jones at the front point. Then Rooney controlled the ball outside the penalty area and immediately changed the ball backward to pass it to the middle to find Shinji Kagawa, who kept kicking the ball and passing it to the left of the backcourt.
Tang Hong quickly started after stopping and wading on the side. He was intercepted by Aberoa's tackle after just two steps and broke the ball.
Evra quickly threw out the sideline ball, Tang Hong volleyed back on the sideline side with a back kick back to the air, and Shinji Kagawa followed up and sent the ball to the diagonal pass.
When Rooney in the middle lane met, Tang Hong and Van Persie followed forward from both wings.
Alonso stepped forward and intercepted head-on, and Rooney quickly sent the ball to the left of the frontcourt.
Tang Hong decisively cut inward and drove to Real Madrid's penalty area.
When Khedira rushed to press, Tang Hong stopped controlling the ball and made a move to pass the ball to the right in front of the penalty area. It was the line where Van Persie cut in the position. Khedira's defense center of gravity had just tilted slightly, but Tang Hong's right foot was about to pass the ball but accelerated to the front left to complete the breakthrough!
When Khedira turned around and chased after him, she suddenly saw Ramos robbing. Tang Hong was a little surprised because Ramos stretched out his legs and expanded the defense area sideways. Although he spiked the ball and dodged, Ramos leaned back and knocked Tang Hong to the ground!
This defense is not just about decisiveness, but also maximizes the scope of defense!
The referee's whistle sounded, and Ramos was sentenced to a foul.
Ramos spread his hands and expressed helplessness, and then took the initiative to pull Tang Hong up from the ground.
When Real Madrid set the wall, almost all players participated in the defense, and C Ronaldo and Benzema set the wall in the left side of the penalty area.
Tang Hong subconsciously glanced at Mourinho in the coaching area of Real Madrid.
With the opponent's careful preparation for the game, he will inevitably be guarding against Tang Hong's free kick, right?
When Rooney stood beside Tang Hong, Tang Hong whispered to him: "You go to the front of the penalty area to run, I will pass the ball to you."
This is too close to the goal, and it is not realistic to directly score a goal and make an arc.
Rooney stood there and did not move, but when Tang Hong started running, Rooney also began to move at the same time.
When Tang Hong shortly passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area, Rooney opened his bow and shot out a heavy cannon!
The football headed straight to the middle of the goal, with a slightly positive angle!
Goalkeeper Diego Lopez blocked the ball directly!
The football flew outside the penalty area and was controlled by 272's chest stop. He pulled the ball and dodged the counter-robbery from Shinji Kagawa. As a result, he turned around and saw a black look in front of him and was knocked to the ground with the ball.
Tang Hong frowned when he heard the referee's whistle. His physical confrontation just now was nothing in the Premier League, but 272 fell to the ground.
It was just a normal foul by the referee, but Tang Hong saw 272 making a sign of foul on the referee while he was backing down. He immediately shouted at 272 in English: "Sister, stand up!"
The players he is most annoying to have fallen into, whether they are teammates or opponents.
I was even more annoyed by the kind of person who forced the referee to take out the cards without doing anything.
272 After understanding what Tang Hong said, his expression was not very good-looking.
Other players from Real Madrid obviously heard it, and they only felt that Tang Hong was a little arrogant. This is a bully at the Bernabeu, right?
Real Madrid launched a fast break. When the ball was transferred to Di Maria's feet on the right side of the frontcourt, the Argentine winger quickly dribbled the ball and pushed forward. Facing Evra, he swung the sideline and made a cross from the bottom!
The football flew straight to the back of the penalty area, Ferdinand turned his head and looked at it, and was surprised, maybe he shouldn't be surprised!
C Ronaldo arrived with a bang!
The terrifying time of the air stagnation after the jump made Ferdinand no defensive opportunity at all.
A header shot was made, Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea rushed across and held the ball high above the crossbar with one palm!
The audience of the Bernabeu was amazed, and Ronaldo hugged his head and sighed very unwillingly after landing.
Not to mention anything else, just like C Ronaldo, the world-class header skill, Tang Hong is definitely not as good as!
"C Ronaldo almost headed the ball! De Gea made a wonderful save!
After the game, it was not as conservative as expected. The fast attack speed of the two teams was dazzling!"
Two minutes later, when Tang Hong controlled the ball in the frontcourt and completed a breakthrough against Aberoa, Ramos rushed over and knocked Tang Hong out of the sideline with his shoulder-to-back action.
After rolling on the ground, Tang Hong immediately stood up and looked at Ramos with a cold expression. The other party did it on purpose, and was obviously revenge for 272 being hit by the rush!
The referee warned Ramos when he stopped the game, but he did not play cards. In terms of movement, it was indeed a reasonable collision just now, but the movement was a bit big.
Tang Hong took a tactical free kick. When the football came to the left side of the penalty area, Shinji Kagawa made a pass over the top and sent the ball to the right rib of the penalty area.
Van Persie quickly stepped forward and volleyed against the falling football with a small angle!
Bang!
The football hit the outside of the near post and bounced out of the bottom line!
The Real Madrid generals were in a cold sweat!
Van Persie gritted her teeth and showed unwillingness on her face.
The game is fast pace, many exciting scenes, and fierce confrontations. This is not so satisfactory in Mourinho's eyes, because there are signs of losing control of the game!
The gods fight!
How can mortals control it?
The active counter-attack of the three Manchester United strikers forced Real Madrid to launch a fast break forward, and Manchester United itself will also race against time to launch an offensive. After a few moments, the rhythm of the game is naturally on the verge of losing control!
In the 13th minute of the game, Ronaldo cut in from the left side of the frontcourt. Benzema retreated and hit the ball across the side. Marcelo assisted and sent a diagonal pass.
C Ronaldo took a bicycle in front of Phil Jones and swung the ball horizontally, then plucked the ball in one step and hit the goal!
The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal, full of threats!
At the critical moment, De Gea bravely pounced on the single hand and blocked the ball!
Evra, who returned to defend in the penalty area, took the lead in controlling the football.
When Real Madrid fans were regretting that C Ronaldo's goal almost became a wonderful world goal and was saved by De Gea, Manchester United's fast break started from the back!
