Chapter 139 Is it that easy? [Add more updates for the lord, please subscribe to the monthly pass]

On the evening of March 24, at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

There is no doubt that in the impression of fans all over the world, this is the sacred temple of professional football.

In this Bernabéu stadium that can accommodate [-] fans, too many legends have happened. Not to mention those distant histories, just say that tonight's game, so many superstars competed together, is unique in the history of professional leagues.

The current coach of Real Madrid is Carlos Queiroz. Before that, he was the right-hand man of the godfather of Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson. Before that, he was the coach of the Portuguese National Youth Team. He cultivated the golden generation including Figo and Rui Costa.

The recent state of the Galaxy Battleship is not particularly ideal. After a tough battle to eliminate Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 20, they drew [-]-[-] with Zaragoza at home in the No.[-] eighth round of La Liga, and then lost to Zaragoza in the Copa del Rey final, leading to the shattering of the team's triple crown this season.

Not only that, Real Madrid challenged Athletic Bilbao away in the No.20 ninth round of La Liga three days ago. They conceded two goals in a row before the end of the first half.

This is also the unfavorable situation of Real Madrid's two-game losing streak for the first time this season.

However, before ushering in Ajax, Ronaldo, who was injured and missed many games, returned from injury, and Raul, who was injured and ended up against Athletic Bilbao, was not absent. Only the left back Roberto Carlos accumulated a yellow card suspension.

In this game, Real Madrid still has a four-two-three formation. The goalkeeper is Iker Casillas, the defense is Raúl Bravo, Mejia, El Guerra and Salgado, the double midfielder is Guti and Beckham, the three frontcourt players are Zidane, Raul and Figo, and the single forward is Ronaldo.

Galactic battleship star-gathered is definitely the top and most luxurious super lineup in Europe.

Ajax is still a four-three-three formation, the goalkeeper is Robont, the defense is Maxwell, Escuder, Heitinga and Trabelsi, and the midfielder is still De Jong.

Both teams had thoroughly studied their opponents before the game, and Real Madrid, who played at home, put on a mad attacking posture from the very beginning. The two sides frequently posed threats, especially the right side composed of Figo and Salgado.

In the absence of Roberto Carlos on the left, the right has become Real Madrid's strongest offensive channel.

Ajax is obviously also mentally prepared for the difficulties they will encounter in the game. The frontcourt looks like a trident. In fact, Pienaar and Scola's position is relatively deep, more like a full-back.

The first threatening shot of the game was precisely a counterattack from Ajax. Zlatan Ibrahimovic grabbed the first spot in the penalty area and pushed the ball to van der Vaart who was inserted in the back row. The latter kicked directly from nine meters from the goal.

But Real Madrid's right-back Salgado stubbornly used his body as a shot to block and resolved a crisis.

Afterwards, the Galaxy Battleship quickly responded. Figo continuously changed directions on the right to get rid of two defenders, then crossed the penalty area obliquely, and accurately sent the ball to Ronaldo's feet in the penalty area.

Just 1 minute later, Zidane got rid of De Jong with the ball at the front of the penalty area, and volleyed vigorously with his right foot, and the ball hit the post.

Two consecutive attacks have created threats, and Real Madrid's offensive is frightening.

But when more than 7 fans in the audience were looking forward to seeing Real Madrid score, the situation suddenly reversed.

Pienaar's cooperation with van der Vaart on the left resulted in a foul by Beckham, and the England midfielder received a yellow card. He was doomed to miss the second leg due to accumulating a second yellow card.

Van der Vaart personally took the set kick and hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Mejia, who was marking Heitinga, missed a man. Heitinga quickly stepped in to grab the spot, and scored with a header from close range, opening the scoring for Ajax.

A sudden goal made everyone in Ajax crazy.

Not to mention the coaching staff on the sidelines, even everyone on the bench cheered and celebrated.

One to zero, Ajax actually leads Real Madrid away.

Heitinga, the hero of the goal, rushed to the sidelines quickly, celebrating and cheering for his goal.

The Ajax players rushed to Heitinga's side one after another, celebrating unscrupulously towards the fans and the camera.

There was a brief silence at the Bernabéu, and all Real Madrid fans obviously couldn't accept this result.

Recently, their team has indeed performed poorly, but it is not so bad, right?

The looming boos sounded from the stands, and it was unclear whether it was for the visiting team Ajax?Or to the home team Real Madrid.

…………

…………

"Wow, that's great, one to zero, we now have the initiative."

"We must firmly hold on to this score, and we will definitely be able to hold on."

"Don't worry, from the performance of the first half, Real Madrid's offense does not seem to be as sharp as the rumors. Their most important thing is the right side. As long as Figo is guarded, Real Madrid's offense will be half gone."

"Ha, before the game we kept worrying about Real Madrid, but we didn't expect that Real Madrid wasn't as scary as we imagined. As long as we continue to play like this in the first half, I believe we will still have a chance to score in the second half."

"To beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu... wow, it's exciting to think about."

……

In the locker room, Yang Yang was sitting in his place, silently sorting out his things, listening to the excited words of his teammates, but he had a very unreal feeling.

For several days before the game, everyone in Ajax was under heavy pressure. Everyone was worried that they would suffer a disastrous loss at the Bernabéu. However, they did not expect that Ajax's confidence was directly displayed in the match tonight, especially the one-to-zero lead, which made everyone's confidence burst.

It's not surprising to think about it. The state of the Galaxy Battleship in the recent period is indeed very bad. It has not won three games, lost two games in a row, and lost the King's Cup final and La Liga one after another. It should be indeed in a low state.

At a time like this, Ajax certainly wouldn't mind getting worse and stepping on another foot.

But there is a good saying, a centipede is dead but not stiff, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, Real Madrid is full of superstars, and its overall strength is the best in European football. Now it is only a goal ahead. It is certainly worth being happy, but isn't it a bit early to get excited?

When Yang Yang quietly conveyed his worries to Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was sitting beside him, the Swedish center burst out laughing, and put his arm on Yang Yang's shoulder vigorously.

"Don't worry, Yang Yang. I have fought against the two central defenders of Real Madrid. They are not strong, especially that Mejia. As long as our side pass me the ball, I will definitely score in the second half."

Speaking of this, Ibrahimovic winked at Yang Yang and said: "At that time, you, the gold medal substitute, will not need to be on the bench. We will take away a victory from the away game and advance at home."

Seeing Zlatan Ibrahimovic's confident appearance, it was difficult for Yang Yang to say anything more.

The morale of the whole team is generally high now, leading Real Madrid at halftime, so everyone is looking forward to taking away the victory from the away game. If Yang Yang says more, he will inevitably be suspected of boosting the morale of others and destroying his prestige.

But Yang Yang is not the only one who has this kind of worry. After returning to the locker room, the head coach Ronald Koeman saw the expressions of all the players obviously darken, and then warned the players to pay attention.

"Real Madrid is full of superstars, and here is the Bernabeu. As long as we have the slightest slack, we may be given a fatal blow by the opponent at any time. Everyone must play 12 points. I have a hunch that Real Madrid will definitely counterattack in the second half, and it will be a crazy counterattack."

The players agreed in unison, but everyone's face was still filled with an emotion called excitement.

The first half went too smoothly, and Real Madrid did not perform at all. This surprised the Ajax players who were under tremendous pressure before the game, and also added some things that they didn't dare to think about before.

Before coming to the Bernabeu, the team wanted to keep the tie, but now, they want to win.

But is it really that easy?
…………

…………

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Real Madrid did exactly as Ronald Koeman said, aggressively attacking.

There are still many fans booing in dissatisfaction in the stands, but the superstars in the stadium are obviously more active than in the first half.

Ajax hadn't stabilized the rhythm after the opening, and was hit by Real Madrid's offensive until halftime, and was firmly suppressed.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Real Madrid's right-back Salgado jumped in quickly. After receiving a goal from Figo, he was about to break through from the sideline. He was tripped by Pienaar who returned to defense. The South African player got a yellow card and gave Real Madrid a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Beckham took the free kick and quickly drove to the back of the penalty area, accurately finding Raul who ran out of space. As a result, the Real Madrid captain's header was slightly above the crossbar.

But soon, Beckham took another corner kick, creating a chaos in the penalty area of ​​Ajax. In the crowd, Elguera calmly seized the opportunity and volleyed directly. The ball bounced on the grass and shot into the goal.

The referee Mikel from Slovakia blew the crisp whistle for the goal to be effective.

Ajax's hard-earned goal in the first half was equalized in less than 5 minutes in the second half.
