Big back

Chapter 655 The Edge of Elimination

There are actually two periods in European football every year that are dedicated to transfers between clubs, namely the summer transfer window and the winter transfer window.

During these two time periods, the transactions between clubs and the flow of players are very frequent.

But comparatively speaking, the liquidity of the winter transfer window is worse than the former, and the influence is not much smaller.

The reason is simple, because in winter, very few heavyweight transactions are born.

Generally speaking, the players involved in heavyweight trades are often quite famous stars. These stars have great influence and outstanding ability. The reason why they choose to transfer is not to mention the money factor, but more importantly, to seek better themselves. In other words, to find a big stage that is more suitable for expressing oneself.

The concept of the big stage is very broad. The big team is the big stage, and the strong teams that can participate in the European competition are also a good platform... Obviously, the UEFA Champions League is the representative of the highest level in European club competitions. They are naturally more willing to express themselves on this stage.

And many stars have represented their clubs in the UEFA Champions League this season. If they transfer and leave in the winter, they will lose their qualifications to participate in this competition.

UEFA has clear regulations. In order to avoid certain "dirty" transactions and cause injustice in European competitions, players who have already represented a team in the Champions League cannot represent another team this year. play.

This cuts off a player who wants to transfer in the winter from this year's Champions League trip. For high-level stars, this is an important reason why they are unwilling to transfer in the winter. They lose the opportunity to participate in the highest level of European clubs. opportunity, which in itself is an unwilling loss.

Fan Bizhuang "declined" Manchester United's invitation because of this consideration.Although it is not a decisive factor, it at least accounts for a large proportion.

For a player of his level, it is difficult to accept that he cannot participate in the Champions League.Moreover, his current state is gradually recovering, and he is even better than when he was in the small town. He feels that even if he can only play as a substitute in Real Madrid for the time being, he may not have no chance of being in the top position.

So he is willing to stay in Madrid for another year.

Of course, it's only for a year.Ferguson's sincerity and persistence will move even the most stubborn people. The same is true for Fan Bizhuang. He has a verbal agreement with Ferguson. If he wants to leave a year later, he will be the first to consider his next home. It is Manchester United.

Regarding this point, after Ferguson left Madrid, Fan Bizhuang communicated with the club. The club did not raise any objections and gave Fan Bizhuang the greatest autonomy. level, and there is no danger of "reducing prices". Maybe after a year, Fan Bizhuang's value will rise instead of falling?
Let's keep it for one year, this deal will not lose money anyway!
So when he heard Kaka's question, Fan Bizhuang answered him very straightforwardly, and he also expressed his thoughts very truthfully: "I hope the team can overcome the difficulties here, Lyon is not an easy opponent to deal with. , The fight between us does not have the upper hand, but our strength is strong, and perhaps victory will start from tonight."

Hearing that Fan Bizhuang is likely to leave next season, Kaka felt a little disappointed, but this emotion was only fleeting. In the world of professional football, it is very common for people to come and go. True friendship It will not change with time and space, so there is no need to be a child.

Thinking that this might be the last time he and Fan Bizhuang fought side by side in the European arena, Kaka smiled and hugged Fan Bizhuang.

"I hope we can get through this too. You're back in shape, I'm feeling good, and I'm thinking, our cooperation shines in Europe. So, we can't be here. stop!"

Fan Bizhuang nodded and grinned.

……

Fan Bizhuang and Kaka are full of expectations for this significant game, although they can only sit on the bench for the time being.

Not only them, Real Madrid players also want to win the game here and take off the embarrassing hat of "Champions League Sixteen Lang" for many years.

So when the game started at [-] o'clock, the White Clothes, who were playing away from home, put on a strong attacking posture as soon as they came up-this is also something that can't be helped. Not only are they behind in total score now, but their opponent still has an away goal. They can't score here, and if they attack Kryon's goal as soon as possible, it will be more unfavorable for Real Madrid as time goes by.

Attacking is the only option, there is no other way.

Lyon seemed to be frightened by Real Madrid's decisive and strong performance. Maybe it was insufficient preparation. It didn't expect Real Madrid to fight so decisively. Maybe it was expected, but they underestimated Real Madrid's "crazy".

The anti-customer-oriented Real Madrid took advantage of the sudden fast break at the beginning and caught Lyon by surprise. The continuous several waves of offensive hit the home team's goal. .

In the opening 5 minutes, it almost completely became the performance of the visiting team. Not only the attackers in the frontcourt ran extremely actively, but even the defensive players in the backcourt moved their positions very forward to cooperate with the attackers. Put pressure on the home team.

Obviously, today's Real Madrid is very lucky, and their onslaught quickly paid off.

In the 6th minute, van der Vaart suddenly changed positions from the wing to the center, and the left back Drenthe who inserted in took away a defensive player for him, so the Dutchman easily received a pass from Alonso in the center, And took advantage of the opportunity to complete the turn.

It was at this moment that the Dutchman showed why he was able to firmly suppress both Fan Bizhuang and Kaka on the bench. When he turned around, he hardly raised his eyes to observe the situation ahead. Van der Vaart was extremely concealed With a straight kick, the football tore through the entire defense line of the home team with the precision of a scalpel. C. Ronaldo stabbed into the penalty area with a diagonal stab, received the ball, and adjusted in one go, followed by a burst shot. Lloris was completely unresponsive to the heavy cannon, and could only watch the football hit the net in a daze.

0: 1!

Real Madrid actively sought to attack shortly after the start of the game, and Ronaldo scored a goal in the 6th minute.

This goal also brought the two sides back to the same starting line in terms of total score, and even the disadvantage of away goals was wiped out.

It can be said that Ronaldo's goal has a decisive impact on the promotion situation of both sides!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Raphael! Raphael... van der Vaart! He gave Cristiano a crucial assist!"

"After Fan and Kaka showed excellent competitive status, the Dutchman has been facing great competitive pressure. But this time the pass undoubtedly showed his value! Ronaldo's goal, the Dutchman's credit At least half of them!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo! He scored the away goal for Real Madrid! This is decisive. In terms of total score, Real Madrid will no longer be at a disadvantage! Maybe today, Real Madrid can change the game that never won in this stadium. The embarrassing history of the ball!"

"The two sides have returned to the same starting line, and the game has become more interesting! Who will be the final winner, and who will advance to the quarterfinals with their heads held high! Suspense abounds!"

Ronaldo and van der Vaart hugged and celebrated excitedly on the field, and the coaches and a group of substitutes outside the field also jumped up from their seats, waving their fists excitedly.

This goal made everyone see the dawn of promotion, and it also strengthened the confidence of the players to comeback and win here.

"We're lucky!"

"Cristiano's shot is beautiful!"

Fan Bizhuang and Kaka also jumped up, punching and shouting almost at the same time.

Immediately, the two said in unison: "Rafael's performance is amazing, and the pressure on us is not small!"

After saying this sentence, both of them were taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

……

After quickly equalizing the total score, the game continued, Real Madrid's morale was even higher, and the offensive became more violent.

However, their good luck seemed to be exhausted after scoring this goal. Although the visiting team's offensive was extremely strong in the following time and completely suppressed the home team, no matter what means were exhausted, they could not Expand the score.

Although he failed to score again, the process of the first half was completely carried out in accordance with the rhythm of Real Madrid. During the intermission, Pellegrini asked the players to make persistent efforts, continue to suppress the opponent, and strive to expand the score as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the second half turned out to be a sudden change.

In the first half, there were only blossoms but no results, and the negative effects brought by it gradually emerged.

Although Lyon's formation was suppressed very flat, the more they defended, the more experienced they became. Gradually they became more handy, and their counterattacks gradually increased.

When the game lasted to 78 minutes, Pjanic's goal made the Real Madrid players on the away expedition fall into despair.

After a long period of high-load onslaught, the physical fitness of the Real Madrid players gradually declined, and they could no longer maintain complete suppression of their opponents. The threat of the home team's quick counterattack became more and more serious.

And Makun, who helped Lyon score a key goal in the first leg, once again influenced the trend of the game. He completed an excellent tackle in midfield, and then passed the ball straight to Pjanic, who was running upfield. Dribbling the ball for five or six meters, he hit the goal with a powerful and heavy kick, and the football went straight to the dead corner of the goal. Casillas fought hard to save him, but he was beyond his reach.

The score became 1:1, the total score was 2:1, and Lyon took the lead!
Real Madrid are almost on the verge of being eliminated.

Pellegrini immediately made substitution adjustments, Fan Bizhuang, Kaka and Guti were sent to play at the same time, and Real Madrid made a final desperate fight!
