Start from 1999

Chapter 231
Entering the locker room, Nick and his teammates were very excited. Now this Real Madrid team is very powerful, which gave Borussia Mönchengladbach a chance to test their own strength. The 3:2 half-time score proved that everyone did a good job.

"Let me choke me." Trezeguet, who scored twice, was in a good mood, humming a song and twisting his butt, playing tricks in the locker room.

"Haha, David, what are you doing? Celebrate the victory in advance?" Elijah joked.

Trezeguet is still twisting his butt. He played very easily in Borussia Mönchengladbach. He really doesn't want to go to Juventus, but considering the big contract Juventus gave him, it is still strong enough. For the money, he still endured the pain.

Nick was also amused by Trezeguet's performance. Trezeguet's dancing skills are actually terrible, but he has a good sense of humor.Of course, Nick is also admired by Trezeguet's excellent ability to grab points and score goals on the court. With Trezeguet on the front line, his teammates can play more easily.

Seeing that the players are relaxed and funny, Karl's face is also very relaxed. He can gain the upper hand in the competition against a super strong team like Real Madrid, and Karl's confidence in his team is getting stronger and stronger.

Therefore, Karl simply told the players to pay attention to strengthening the defense against Figo and Guti, and let the players play freely.

The reason why Karl dared to do this was that he had Nick under him. As an excellent midfield commander, Nick's talent made people completely reassured. This is a guy that the head coach must rest assured.

Compared with the atmosphere of the locker room in Borussia Mönchengladbach, Real Madrid's side is much more dignified.

Bosque stood in front of the tactical board and kept talking about the team's technical and tactical arrangements for the second half. Now Bosque has to consider not only how Real Madrid can regain the score, but also how to defend.

"In the second half, we must watch Nick to death defensively. He is the real engine of Borussia Mönchengladbach's offense. We must pay close attention to Nick's exit point and cut off their previous connection. Although the task is arduous, we must do this in order to win or even 1 point!"

Bosque looked serious, and the players nodded repeatedly, especially Makelele. As Real Madrid's midfielder, Makelele had the responsibility to take on the work of clearing the area in front of Real Madrid's penalty area.

"As for the offense, I hope you all cover for Louis. You should know how tough Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense is, especially in the middle. Facing Nick, it is difficult for us to get any chances. Therefore, the offense on the right will be our opportunity. The Chinese kid on the other side likes to attack, and the German defender behind him is of average ability. I think with Louis' ability, he is absolutely sure to create a lot of opportunities on the right. Take good care of it. We can't afford to lose this game."

Real Madrid, Liverpool and AC Milan are not slacking off in the current 'group of death'. Whoever loses one more game is likely to be overtaken by other teams.Del Bosque knew that even a point from the Bauca Bage would be a happy ending.

Bosque resolutely formulated a second-half offensive strategy with Figo as the core, which made Guti's face a little gloomy.

"Damn, such an important match let me stand aside?" Guti muttered in his heart, he had some opinions on Bosque's tactical arrangement, and at the same time he was a little dissatisfied with Figo. Guti was arrogant, and he was a member of Real Madrid.

Figo is quite useful. He is very confident in his ability. When he was in Barcelona, ​​he often did things to turn the tide. Now he is only one goal behind. Figo knows that as long as he goes all out, breaking the gate of Borussia Mönchengladbach is not a problem.

But the undercurrent came quietly.

After 15 minutes, players from both sides returned to the court and the second half began.

Collina still looked relaxed and blew the whistle, and the game continued.

Collina is enjoying the game more now. This European heavyweight contest is just a ball game in Collina's eyes.

After the kick-off, Borussia Mönchengladbach made three passes and two passes, and the ball landed on Trezeguet's head. Trezeguet was leaned on by Hierro. Although he had his back to the goal, he still made an amazing header.

The first 10 minutes after the start of the second half was the time for Borussia Mönchengladbach's offensive performance. During this time, Borussia Mönchengladbach tried to seize the opportunity to defeat Real Madrid's last psychological defense in one fell swoop and expand the score.

Within 10 minutes, Borussia Mönchengladbach made 8 shots. This intensity nearly collapsed Real Madrid's defense.

But they have a phenomenal goalkeeper, Iker Casillas catches high and low blocks, and bravely resolves Borussia Mönchengladbach's shots one by one.

Especially in the 55th minute, Li Yihuan went straight from the left, Illie suddenly crossed the ball, and Trezeguet's blast was miraculously blocked by Casillas with his face.

This raised the morale of the Real Madrid players to the extreme, while Trezeguet looked incredible. This kind of shot was blocked, and Casillas had the potential to become a god.

Of course, Nick is aware of Casillas' achievements. If it weren't for Casillas, Florentino's Zidane + Pavon policy may not be implemented.

After withstood Borussia Mönchengladbach's attack, Real Madrid quickly organized a defensive line in the midfield, and Makelele's interception ability also began to show off.

This made it difficult for Mönchengladbach to pass the ball, and once the rhythm was disrupted, Mönchengladbach's offensive power dropped sharply, and Real Madrid began to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

In the 58th minute, when Li Yihuan broke through from the left, he waded the ball too far and was cut off by Salgado. Salgado immediately made a reverse hang, and Figo quickly started to break through easily against Hausweiler who was defending.

This made Nick only choose to make up the defense. Figo passed the ball first, and Guti, who was inserted in the middle, shot a strong shot from outside the penalty area. The ball was punched out by Irgner.

Three minutes later, Madavikia was also predicted by Carlos in advance when he broke through. Carlos immediately made a long diagonal pass after stealing the ball. The ball still found Figo.

Figo chose to pass through the penalty area this time, and the ball successfully found Raul, but Raul was a step slower when he turned around and shot, and was stabbed by Metzelder.

These two attacks by Real Madrid were quite quality, and Nick finally understood that Real Madrid's main focus is Figo.

"Damn it, Figo really has a high level, it seems that you have to pay attention, don't let this guy steal the limelight." Nick thought to himself, his feet immediately started to move, and he began to lean to the right.

In the 67th minute, Makelele used a suspected foul tackle to put Ortega on the ground, but Collina did not signal a foul.

Makelele got up immediately, and handed it to Figo with a straight kick.

Although Li Yihuan was stuck in the position, he was staggered by Figo's sophisticated movements. When he reacted, Figo had already broken through and turned into an in-cut state.

Figo decided to go it alone this time, and his long-range shots are also very accurate. In Barcelona and the Portuguese national team, he often scored long-range shots.

Figo took two steps a little. At this time, he was only about 25 meters away from the goal of Borussia Mönchengladbach. Figo suddenly kicked out without thinking.
