Football irons are burning

Chapter 336 Against Real Madrid
In the 33rd round of the league, Manchester United played away against Newcastle, which is another tough one.

After this period of winning streak, Newcastle United has caught up with the big team in front. They have 32 wins, 18 draws and 8 losses in 6 rounds, ranking seventh in the league with 62 points. They are only 4 points away from Nottingham Forest, which is fourth.

They still have hopes of competing for a Champions League place.

Thanks to their winter break adjustments, Irving, who came from Manchester City, seems to have found a feeling in Newcastle United again. He and Shearer cooperate very well. This striker combination also scored 39 goals this season, which is very magical.

It is said that trees move to death and people move to live. Owen went to Manchester City, but he played in a mess.

When he arrived in Newcastle, he regained his vitality and helped the team return to its former peak. The old coach Robson's command is also very good. This is Robson's last season, and he also hopes to give the team a place in the Champions League.

At St. James' Park, Manchester United played a rare classic battle.

With Shearer's goal in the first half, the opponent led Manchester United with two goals in a row.

Old Shearer is really getting older and more demonic. Two headers made Neuer helpless.

Throughout the first half, Manchester United's midfield played poorly.

In the second half, Manchester United seemed to wake up suddenly.

In the 59th minute, Giggs began to show off on the wing, Scholes received his inverted triangle pass in the middle, and pulled back a goal with a long shot.

After the three-pointer, Saha made a supplementary shot in front of the goal to equalize the score.

After the equalizer, Manchester United suddenly found the backbone.

In the 70th minute, Roten's long-range shot caused the opponent's goalkeeper to drop again. Saha scored twice with a supplementary shot, and this kid also got the hang of it.

This is not over yet. In the 76th minute, Scholes made a comeback. After passing through the crotch, he suddenly kicked the ball, and the ball went straight to the corner like a god, 2:4!

Before the end of the game, Dong Fangzhuo went in and scored another goal, finally locking the score at 2:5. Manchester United achieved a major reversal and swept away the previous decline.

After the game, the Manchester United players were all smiling, and finally wiped out the previous decline.

It is also a feat to reverse the score when two goals behind.

This also means that Manchester United's state has begun to pick up, and Li Tie's comeback is imminent, and Manchester United is full of confidence in the future.

However, in this round, Chelsea also won the game and continued to chase after it.

For the remaining 5 rounds of the league, Manchester United still dare not take it lightly!

However, among the opponents in the last 5 rounds, except for Arsenal, other opponents are not to worry about, which is where Manchester United's confidence lies.

In the middle of the week, the Champions League semi-finals kicked off, with Manchester United vs. Real Madrid at home.

The Galacticos have fought on multiple fronts this season, and they can perform well, especially in the Champions League. Their performance is no worse than Manchester United.

The two sides are in the same group in the group stage, so it can be said that they know each other well.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the two sides did not make any tentative moves, and the direct start was a confrontation.

In the 3rd minute, Zidane made a breakthrough in the front court, and then made a straight pass. The ball bounced off Pepe's heel.

This opportunity is also quite good.

Neuer also yelled, telling his teammates to pay attention, and don't give the opponent a chance to shoot easily.

This was actually an accident, who knew the ball would hit Pepe's heels?

Two minutes later, Manchester United counterattacked, Li Tie forced a pass in the middle and was brought down by Makelele, a free kick.

Li Tie performed the knife himself, but he kicked the ball on Makelele's head, and Makelele also fell down directly.

This kind of power, ordinary people can't stand it even if they are touched.

It took a long time for Makelele to regain his composure, but he looked at Li Tie with unkind eyes.

He probably thought that Li Tie did it on purpose, but in fact it was too unfair. What Li Tie wanted was to directly score a goal with a free kick, so why would he bother you?Enough support?

Manchester United throws the ball out of bounds, and Li Tie catches the ball and directly picks the ball and passes behind him. This time Makelele did not expect that he could only hug and throw Li Tie to the ground again.

Then he ran very fast, for fear of giving people an excuse.

Li Tie sat on the ground and complained to the referee, which means that this guy made a deliberate foul and should be given a card.

However, the referee was also indifferent.

With a free kick from the wing, Li Tie fell directly into the penalty area.

Zhang Heizi jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal, but the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Lucio's interference was very useful, preventing Zhang Heizi from correcting his position.

Looking back, Real Madrid's wing also launched an attack. Maicon forced his way to the bottom from the right, and Glenn Johnson's defense was useless.

Maicon then slid in, volleyed vigorously from a small angle, and the ball was blocked by Neuer again.

Neuer also rushed in front of Glenn Johnson and yelled at him, but Glenn Johnson didn't dare to speak back.

This defense is indeed too good, the speed can't keep up, the defensive awareness can't keep up, and the physical confrontation is useless. It's really embarrassing to be messed up by Maicon.

It can be seen that Maicon's strength is still a few blocks behind Glenn Johnson.

But at this time, Alves on the bench showed a meaningful smile. The two are competitors this season. Because Glenn Johnson is an England player, he gets more chances to play.

But in terms of strength, Alves is no worse than him.

In the Real Madrid penalty area, Ronaldo and Raul were also complaining to Maicon, outflanking two points, and Maicon chose to shoot, which really made them a little dissatisfied.

If it is passed in, the probability of this goal must be greater.

Of course, Maicon was on fire, where could he see the others?On the football field, sometimes many people are in the mountains, and they can't see things that others can see clearly.

After the three-pointer, Maicon made a comeback, Glenn Johnson made a rash move again, was rubbed lightly by Maicon, and then flew past him.

Then, Maicon came in again, facing De Jong's block, he chose to pass the ball this time.

Ronaldo, who was outflanking in the middle, pushed lightly, but the ball failed to exert force, and Neuer got it again.

Neuer immediately took a big kick, and the ball accurately found Li Tie in the middle circle.

Li Tie took the ball and saw that the opponent's formation was a bit scattered, and Maicon couldn't go back, so he could use it.

Li Tie took two steps and immediately passed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo penetrated in place, quickly took the ball and wiped it in, Kavalu came to defend, Dong Fangzhuo immediately hit the ball to Ruud van Nistelrooy who had returned from injury.

It's a pity that Ruud Ruud didn't exert any force either, and the kick was soft, the ball bounced, and Casillas easily got it.

Fanny looked up to the sky and sighed, a little regretful.

His condition is actually not very good.

Queiroz on the sidelines also hesitated a little, and then asked Alves, Saha, and Solskjaer to warm up.

Obviously, he also saw the problem on the field.

It's just that it's very early now, and if someone is replaced so quickly, if someone gets injured later, there's no way to do it.

The game time, 20 minutes passed quickly, the offense of both sides played very lively, but the efficiency was not good.

After 20 minutes, Real Madrid suddenly shrunk their defense. It seemed that this was a tactic they had formulated before the game.

Manchester United also followed suit.

Li Tie has more time to hold the ball.

In the 23rd minute, Li Tie knocked Makelele out from the middle. Fortunately, Zidane came back to defend. Li Tie kicked a pass to Van Nistelrooy in the penalty area, and Van Nistelrooy immediately knocked Giggs on the other side.

Giggs quickly took the ball and twisted it a few times to pass Carvalho, and the latter's shovel did not work.

Giggs then volleyed from a small angle, and the ball was saved by Casillas to the bottom line.

Both goalkeepers played well.

Giggs also sighed. He shot the ball well. Ruud Ruud and Dong Fangzhuo were all marked to death in the penalty area, and Li Tie was also stalked to death. What if he didn't shoot?

Li Tie came over and patted him on the shoulder, meaning you did the right thing.

Li Tie then took a corner kick. This time, the opponent's central defender still judged accurately and pushed the ball out.

De Jong kicked a shot, and the ball startled several pigeons over the stadium.

He ran back in embarrassment, this footwork is not good.

This is completely the way to clear the ball.

However, the tactics played by the opposing players also gave Manchester United players a lot of opportunities.

Most of Real Madrid's sporadic attacks are the cooperation between three people, such as Zidane coming up and cooperating with Ronaldo and Raul, or Maicon coming up and cooperating with two forwards.

The others are defending from behind.

Dense defense looks good, but Real Madrid is actually not very good at defense.

In the 33rd minute, Li Tie took the ball with his heel and kicked it directly to Ruud Ruud. Ruud was leaned on by Lucio and couldn't stand still.

Li Tie tricked Ferreira into jumping with a fake move at the front of the penalty area. He then shot a low shot and the ball went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.

With this kind of ball, the defender in the middle dare not stretch his feet for fear of refraction.

At this time, it was Casillas who flew to the ground again and poked the ball out with his fingertips.

This guy is really a miraculous goalkeeper. Li Tie's shot was so tricky that he threw it away.

When you face such an excellent goalkeeper, many strikers will doubt life.
