I'm the Red Devil's savior

Chapter 415
From 1:0 to 1:2, in just 15 minutes, Manchester United went from leading to trailing, which made the players suffer a certain blow.

But fortunately, the first half of the game is over at this time, which can be regarded as giving Manchester United a breathing space.If the game continues, the crazy Real Madrid may continue to score goals in a short time.

Back in the dressing room, United's players looked down and out.This is not surprising. From leading by one goal to one behind, anyone will feel uncomfortable.

The only thing that gives everyone a little comfort is that the team has a relatively large advantage established in the first round, making the total score at this moment still lead by 6:4.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Manchester United adopted a more resolute shrinking defensive tactic.

Real Madrid created a chance in the opening 4 minutes, a cross from the wing, and Benzema's header just missed the far post.The French center performed very well in this game and has already scored two goals.

Subsequently, Real Madrid continued to control the situation on the field and frequently created opportunities.However, due to Manchester United's shrinking defense, it is difficult for Real Madrid to easily pass the ball into the penalty area at the front of the penalty area. Coupled with physical reasons, Real Madrid's offense slows down appropriately.

It's not just Real Madrid's players who have some physical problems, Manchester United as a defensive side is not much better.Ye Su also realized that the team had to make adjustments.

"Manchester United made a substitution, Ye Su replaced Vardy with Fellaini."

"This is a very conservative substitution. Vardy is the left winger of the team. When he is behind, replacing a left winger and replacing a defensive midfielder is definitely not a positive adjustment, but how to do it? Let’s see what happens to Manchester United on the pitch.”

"What's more, Manchester United still has a two-goal advantage in the total score. Maybe Ye Su thinks that he can use defense to block Real Madrid's attack, and then rely on the victory established in the first round to finally advance."

………………

When Rooney saw the number plate for the substitution on the sidelines, he was also a little surprised.At this point in the game, replace a winger with a midfielder?

Fellaini's coming up can strengthen the team's anti-high ball, and it should be helpful to limit Benzema and Ronaldo.Vardy can be replaced...

Fellaini brought Yesu's latest tactical adjustment. He and Kanter partnered with a double midfielder, De Bruyne moved forward to the front midfielder, Rooney and Harry Kane formed a double forward, and Bruno Fernandez became a free frontcourt. people.

However, Fellaini's position is not on the same level as Kanter, but directly in the middle, together with Van Dijk and Maguire to protect Manchester United's goal, it looks more like a central defender at the front.Kanter's position became flexible, and he swept around in front of Fellaini.

In addition, because Fellaini, Maguire and Van Dijk are protecting Manchester United's goals, Yesu asked Luke Shaw and Valencia's two full-backs to step up their efforts to advance forward as long as the opportunity is right. Threat to the opponent's defenses.

In general, this is indeed a slightly conservative substitution, but Manchester United did not lose their fighting spirit because of it.

After Fellaini conveyed the coach's intentions to the players on the field, Manchester United's tactics changed accordingly.Bruno Fernandez began to gain more and greater freedom. He was no longer limited to the front midfielder, but cruising in any position in the frontcourt.Wherever there is space, he will go there.

Harry Kane served as the fulcrum of the frontcourt and was at the forefront.This powerful English center forward is also very intimidating to Real Madrid's central defenders, especially Varane.

Rooney ambushed behind Harry Kane, playing a role similar to a shadow forward.

With a tall defender behind him, the two full-backs have been liberated to a certain extent, and Kante and De Bruyne in the midfield have also begun to be more active.

………………

In fact, to some extent, Manchester United's activity can also reflect that Real Madrid is gradually sluggish.

This is also the normal state of Real Madrid. They always start to become negligent when they are sure to win.

When the game progressed to No. 703 minutes, Manchester United once again played a quick counterattack.Valencia dribbled the ball along the right and advanced quickly. After scoring into the 30-meter zone of Real Madrid, he saw Bruno Fernandez pull to the right to open up the defensive position for him. He immediately chose to cut to the ribs. This is There is a tacit understanding between the two.

Kroos immediately stepped forward to entangle Valencia, and the Ecuadorian defender immediately distributed the ball to the right.

Bruno Fernandez stopped the ball without haste, Marcelo didn't dare to care about him at all, and the sworn enemy stared at him.

After Valencia passed the ball, he ran over quickly and went to the gap to respond.

Bruno Fernandes quickly crossed the ball back to Valencia, and suddenly accelerated himself.

At that moment, Marcelo hesitated, considering whether to follow Bruno Fernandez or Valencia.But it was this slight hesitation that prevented him from following Bruno Fernandez in time.

Valencia understood, and when Kroos blocked him, the ball went to the baseline.

Bruno Fernandez competed for speed, and the 30-year-old Brazilian veteran was easily left behind by Bruno Fernandez's opponent.

After Bruno Fernandez caught up with the ball, he made an arcing cross directly with his right foot and sent a precise arcing ball.

Harry Kane blocked Karadze with his body at the front point, and faced the incoming ball with a flick of his head to attack the goal.

………………

Navas's reaction speed is not fast enough. He judged Harry Kane's attack angle first, bent down to block, and even blocked the England center's close-range header.

But the ball didn't fly far, and it was Rooney who followed. The captain of Manchester United grabbed ahead of Ramos and Varane, and shot directly. With a powerful long-range shot, the ball was sent into the royal court. Madrid goal.

2:2, Manchester United equalized the score on the field, leading with a total score of 7:4!

At that moment, the Bernabéu stadium fell silent.

Obviously, the fans of the Galaxy Battleship already know that their team's situation in this season's Champions League is over.

Even with stoppage time, there are only about 20 minutes left at this moment.And their team is 3 goals behind Manchester United on aggregate.

Even if their team can score three consecutive goals in 20 minutes, it will only tie the score, the game will enter overtime, and the outcome is still unknown.

What's more, how can they guarantee that Manchester United will no longer score during this period?

………………

After the Manchester United captain scored, he was so excited that he looked up to the sky and screamed.

Manchester United players swarmed up one after another, celebrating to Rooney.

Manchester United scored another goal and the situation became tense again.

Zidane finally made the first substitution adjustment of the game, and changed two people at once.

One is to replace Kovacic with Casemiro. Zidane can see it. Real Madrid's current defense can't stop Manchester United's attack at all.If they don't strengthen their defense, they really may not be able to win the battle against Manchester United's offense.

Another substitution was to replace Benzema, the hero who scored twice, with Bell, who he didn't like to see.

Zidane has mixed feelings about the Welshman.This Welshman who was not liked by him saved him from danger time and time again.But when he really had high hopes for him, the Welshman's body didn't live up to it.

Bale was forced to undergo ankle surgery in November 2016 and missed two-and-a-half months of action; upon his return, he seemed determined to avoid further injuries, which severely hampered his performances.

Bale fell further out of favor with Zinedine Zidane when he went off 30 minutes into a crucial derby at home to Barcelona.Barcelona won the game with a score of 3:2.Still, it was better than the 13 minutes he played in his second Champions League game against Juventus.

This season, Zidane has been looking more and more for a suitable replacement for the increasingly unreliable Welshman.Isco and Asensio have both started to occupy first-team starting spots, limiting Bale's league starts to 20 and just three in the Champions League.Bell, who was originally Ronaldo's successor, became an expensive little role.

Although Benzema played well in this game and scored twice, he and Bale are two different types of players. When Manchester United's offensive gradually picks up, Real Madrid has the possibility of countering Manchester United. , In this case, Bell's role is obviously much stronger than that of Benzema.

As for the front, Ronaldo is enough.

Casemiro's defense is not comparable to that of Kovacic. The defensive triangle formed by him, Ramos and Varane is somewhat similar to that formed by Fellaini, Maguire and Van Dijk at Manchester United. Defensive trio.

………………

In fact, at this time, it is very rare for Zidane to do his best to balance the offensive and defensive ends.

And the facts have proved that Zidane's substitution is correct.Not long after the game restarted, in less than 3 minutes, Real Madrid played a very wonderful match.

After the Welsh winger took the ball and dunked the defender, he passed his right foot diagonally to the front point. Ronaldo suddenly jumped in quickly, overwhelmed Heitinga, rushed to the top from close range, and scored with a header.The ball flew directly into Manchester United's goal, and Dean Henderson was beyond his reach!
Cristiano Ronaldo finally scored, and it was also his first goal in the semi-finals of the Champions League this season!
The Portuguese striker was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium, receiving the cheers of more than 7 Real Madrid fans along the way.

3: 2!

"Real Madrid's cooperation this time is indeed quite beautiful! After Bale, he immediately gave the team a wonderful assist."

"The Welshman is really impressive in terms of creativity, and Ronaldo's goal has allowed him to further consolidate his status as the Champions League scorer!"

"On the current Champions League scorer list, Cristiano Ronaldo is far ahead with 16 goals, Liverpool's Salah and Firmino both scored 11 goals, tied for second; Sevilla's Ben Yedder scored 10 goals and ranked Fourth: Rooney, who had explosive statistics in the previous two seasons, has performed mediocre this season and has only scored 10 goals so far, tied with Ben Yedder!"

"After being robbed of the Champions League Golden Boot by Rooney for two consecutive seasons, the Portuguese striker's lead in the Champions League scorer list this season is very obvious!"

"Manchester United's performance in the UEFA Champions League scorer list this season is not very good. Although they have scored a total of 43 goals, 2 goals more than No.5 Liverpool, but because they have too many firepower points, the number of goals is scattered. .”

"In the Manchester United team, Rooney scored the most goals with 10 goals. Secondly, Harry Kane scored 7 goals, Bruno Fernandez scored 5 goals, Vardy and Mbappe scored 4 goals, and De Bruyne scored 2 goals. , Mata, Rashford, Valencia and Kante all scored 1 goals, Ashley Young, Fellaini and Haaland also scored 13 goal, and the number of goals reached [-] !"

………………

"Zidane also started to make the third substitution adjustment at this time. Nacho replaced Asensio. This is also a conservative substitution."

"It should be said that it has been eight or 10 minutes since the game, and Real Madrid has basically gone. If it is true that Real Madrid lost too much in the first leg at Old Trafford, they dug a hole for themselves. Too deep. Otherwise, they still have hope of knocking out Manchester United and advancing to the final."

"Zidane still thinks more about not conceding the ball now, so even if he loses, he still retains a bit of dignity."

"3:2, Real Madrid finally avoided the fate of being double-killed by Manchester United. You know, Manchester United this season still maintains a record of victory in the Champions League. Before Real Madrid, including Bayern, Sevilla, The five teams, Atletico Madrid, Roma and Qarabag, whether strong or weak, were ruthlessly crushed against Manchester United!"

………………

After Nacho replaced Asensio, Real Madrid's midfield has been further strengthened, but it shows that Zidane has basically lost hope of eliminating Manchester United.

Perhaps everyone will think that Real Madrid can compete with Manchester United to the present level, which is already commendable. Ronaldo scored a goal by himself, planned another goal, and basically locked in this season's Champions League gold in advance. Boots, it can be regarded as submitted a qualified answer sheet, but he still feels unwilling!
No. 80 minutes into the game, he was really tired and out of breath.Whenever he had the chance, he stopped and gasped for breath.Beads of sweat kept slipping off his head, and his whole body was already drenched.

After all, he is already 33 years old, and the inherent laws of life make Ronaldo inferior in all aspects to previous years.

But he still feels unwilling!
It would be fine to say that the skills are not as good as others, but everyone knows that Real Madrid is no worse than Manchester United.But as a result, Real Madrid lost at the feet of Manchester United for three consecutive years.

This is really too unacceptable!
Ronaldo is thinking, if he wants to win the Champions League trophy, the Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year, he may have little hope of staying in Real Madrid.

Should I really leave?
