"Hey! Guys! There is nothing to be afraid of. Real Madrid has many Champions League honors, but they are all historical honors. Their current state is not good, and we have a chance to defeat them!"

Zurich's captain Philippe Kochi gave a loud morale boost.

He verbally belittled Real Madrid in an attempt to awaken the players' fighting spirit.

"Stach, don't forget, Suk also commented on you."

Philippe Coch loudly said: "The opponents we are about to face have had brilliant results, but we will tell them who they are playing against!"

"Come on, guys!"

Not long after, players from both sides gathered in the tunnel.

Looking at the star-studded Real Madrid, Philip Cocchi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Even if you keep cheering yourself up, even if you brainwash yourself again and again.

But when he saw the lineup of Suker, Raul, Guti and others, he still felt extremely nervous.

He also knows that in terms of staffing and lineup strength alone, they cannot beat Real Madrid.

To this end, they need a better team and use the use of the team to defeat the opponent.

In the Zurich lineup, Florian Stach turned his head to look at Suker from time to time.

Suker mentioned him in his pre-match comments. As the most watched star in the world at present, a player of this size knows himself, which makes Stach extremely excited.

Stacher's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

In this game, he will perform enough to respond to Su Ke.

Many Zurich players have the same sentiment.

They finally made it to the Champions League group stage, and were able to play against top clubs like Real Madrid. They naturally cherish this opportunity.

For players like them, in addition to performance, they also need a stage.

And this game is the stage for them to show the results of many years of training.

Once they perform, the future will not be a dream.

Thinking of this, many Zurich players became excited.

The changes in Zurich's players are visible to the naked eye.

Su Ke also saw this scene in his eyes.

During his time at AC Milan, there were many such teams.

However, most of their endings are tragic.

Suker respects their dreams, but when the dreams fail to translate into reality, when they understand the huge gap between themselves and top players, this gap is enough to destroy a player.

"Get ready to show up!"

The referee in front yelled.

Players from both sides immediately got ready to go.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Zurich (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Leoni.

Defenders: Florian Stach, Filip Koch, Tissinen, Rosa.

Midfielder: John Vonlandang, Okowo, Eggert, Soljic.

Forwards: Alphonse, Haseley.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Arloya, Pepe, Ramos, Albiol.

Midfielder: Gago, Diarra, Guti.

Forward: Higuain, Raul, Suker.

In this game, Su Ke returned to the left midfield position.

This is mainly for tactical purposes.

In the absence of Alonso, Suker's more task is to organize the offense in the frontcourt.

To do this, he will continue to move closer to the center.

Compared with traditional forwards, Su Ke is the core of the frontcourt organization and offense.

Of course, if necessary, Su Ke can also enter single-player combat mode.

Pellegrini gave Suker a high degree of tactical freedom, which can be regarded as compensation for changing Suker's position three times in a row.

Rozgrund Stadium, also known as Magic Run Stadium.

This is the largest stadium in Zurich, but compared to the 80,000 or even 100,000 seats of the top clubs, this stadium only has 30,000 seats.

It may be the largest stadium in Zurich, but it is definitely not ranked among the best in Europe.

But this is also designed based on the local population of Switzerland and Zurich, so it does not satisfy the fans' concept of watching football at all.

Besides, the football market in Zurich has always been tepid.

Even in Europe, not all competition regions can achieve full attendance.

For example, in normal league games, Zurich's attendance rate is only 70%.

But in this game, the entire stadium was packed.

The reason is simple!

The Champions League is one aspect.

Real Madrid is also on one side.

Su Ke is naturally also on the one hand.

Of course, although many local residents of Zurich came to watch the game, many even came to see Suker.

But they did not switch sides to Su Ke. Although they cheered silently in their hearts, they did not show it.

Players from both sides have entered the court.

Real Madrid's expedition fans burst into loud cheers under Suker's signature leg-raising warm-up move.

The number of fans on this expedition is as high as 10,000.

These Real Madrid fans have their expectations aroused by Suker, and they don't want to miss any of Suker's games in Real Madrid.

"Come on! Suk!"

"Come on! Suk!"

"It's all on you!"

"Kill them!"

"Suke! Suke!"

Real Madrid fans chanted Suker's name loudly.

Although he has only played two rounds of the league, Suker's performance in the league has conquered too many Real Madrid fans.

They loved Suk's lightning speed.

They like Suker's decisive and brave shooting.

They loved the dreamy dance moves of the Sukkah.

Everything about Su Ke seemed to attract them with magic.

Suker smiled and waved to the away fans' stands.

Immediately, Suk turned his head and looked to the rear.

The center back combination of Ramos + Pepe.

Although it is still relatively immature, its potential is endless.

This is definitely a combination of 'evil' and 'dirty'.

Anyone who sees this guard combination will feel guilty. No one knows what these two guys will do.

Especially Pepe!

This is a double-edged sword!

Pepe raised his head slightly, put his hands on his hips, and with his bald head, combined with his ferocious face and muscular muscles, he looked like a warrior monk.

Ramos has just moved to the central defender position and is still in the process of getting familiar with the position.

Although this combination has endless potential, it has not yet formed a true combat effectiveness.

In the midfield, the combination of Gago and Diarragaguti.

This midfield combination is not very eye-catching.

It's not that they are not famous enough, but that they are no longer able to show their previous absolute strength.

Despite my experience, I can only say that I can barely maintain it.

If Xabi Alonso sits in the midfielder position and the ball delivery problem is solved, Suker can devote himself to the offense.

But now, Xabi Alonso is injured in the European qualifying rounds and may have to rest for a few weeks.

On the forward line are Higuain and Raulga's own configuration.

The overall lineup is still a bit lacking.

The defense needs work.

The midfield needs to introduce more key players.

The forwards also need to become younger.

As for tactics, it is naturally the standard configuration for wealthy clubs, 4-3-3.

Although Real Madrid's lineup currently has many areas that need to be strengthened, these are aimed at top teams who are interested in staining the Champions League title.

Zurich is obviously not one of them.

"The game is about to begin. Can Zurich show enough performance against the powerful Real Madrid?"

"Before the game, Suker mentioned many Zurich defenders and gave them very good evaluations. Can these players respond to Suker's evaluation?"

"Then there is Alphonse, Zurich's top goalscorer. His performance will be crucial. His offensive performance determines the progress of our game."

"Of course, this game also poses a difficult challenge for our defense!"

"The boys are about to face Higuain, Raul and Suker's forward lineup. Especially for Stach on the right, whether he can withstand Suker's offensive pressure."

The native Zurich commentator raised many questions.

Soon, his tone rose.

"Okay, the game is about to start. The referee exits the center circle and the whistle blows. In the first round of the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League group stage, Zurich's home game against Real Madrid has officially begun!"

Beep!

With the whistle blowing.

Real Madrid's players began to attack each other's lineup.

As Suker moved in, he always maintained a position behind Raul.

Raul can form the first impact, and Su Ke appropriately restricts the passing and interferes with the opponent's ball.

However, Raul's attack was not very violent or decisive. For this reason, Zurich still relatively easily sent the ball out through the triangle of center back, full back and midfielder.

When Suk saw that the high position pressure was no longer working, he immediately retreated.

Zurich played cautiously.

They did not dare to send the ball to Real Madrid's half quickly and wanted to lure more Real Madrid players out.

But Real Madrid played very calmly.

Perhaps it is because they attach too much importance to the Champions League, or perhaps because they have been eliminated in the top 16 in consecutive years. Due to many factors, they were unable to completely let go when facing Zurich.

After several attempts, Zurich finally launched an attack from the left wing.

Suker cruised to the midfield position. After seeing the running of the Zurich players, Suker immediately caught up with Eggert.

This is the core point of Zurich's passing. 80% of Zurich's threatening attacks originate from him.

Therefore, Su Ke followed immediately.

Once this pulse is blocked, it will be difficult for Zurich to launch an offense.

Suker's running was very active, and his retracement was also very large, following Eggert almost the whole way.

Many top players maintain their own identity and do not want to participate in defense.

But Suker did a good job in this regard. He didn't have the airs of a superstar at all, and he just defended when he needed to.

"so annoying!"

Eggert tried several times to run into space, but he failed to catch the ball.

The reason is simple. Suker has always been next to him, and his teammates have no space to pass the ball.

They don't dare to risk passing the ball. Once Suker intercepts the ball, Real Madrid's counterattack can start immediately.

But soon, Real Madrid's defensive intensity increased.

There was no way they were going to let Zurich feel comfortable in their own half.

After the defensive intensity increased, Zurich's passing no longer became so easy.

After several passes, Suker saw Eggert taking the initiative to catch the ball.

Suk immediately leaned over.

Alphonse cut inside to no avail, and faced the joint stranglehold of Pepe and Gago. He stumbled to get the ball out.

It's just that the passing force is a little less intense.

Eggert started immediately.

But there was someone faster than him.

boom!

As Suker rushed towards the ball, he hit Eggert hard with his body.

Eggert's lower plate shook a little, and Suker took advantage and grabbed the ball at the same time.

"Suke! Got it! He was very active."

Spanish commentator Gonzalez couldn't help but admire.

Su Ke is a superstar, and he is also a hard-working superstar. How can this not make people happy?

In the stands, a small number of Real Madrid fans also applauded.

But the real show is just about to begin.

After Suker received the ball, he made a Marseille spin, avoided Eggert's pressing, and ran to the sideline.

The overall linkage in Zurich is very good.

In an instant, he counterattacked towards Su Ke, forming an encirclement network.

First, after Alphonse retreated, he immediately stretched out his foot towards Su Ke to steal.

Su Ke pulled his foot and avoided Alfonse's pressing.

At the same time, Su Ke used his shoulders to resist Feng Lantang's collision. When Eggert approached from the front, Su Ke moved his feet and pushed the ball forward with his head. His feet suddenly started. With a powerful explosive force, He instantly emerged from the circle of three people.

"Oh~~~~Suke!!!"

Gonzalez started acting again, his Spanish refrain.

Gonzalez waved his right hand and said with admiration; "This escape is great. This is the combination of technique and confidence. Suker, while being completely forced to the side, continuously touched the ball in the narrow gap. Finally, he lifted the ball over his head and got rid of the three-man double team!"

After Suker got rid of it, he passed the ball to Guti on the other side.

Guti immediately dribbled forward and started attacking, and Real Madrid's counterattack began.

Suk also turned around and started running forward.

They pushed their front line directly into the opponent's penalty area, but Zurich retreated very quickly. They retreated almost at the same time as Suker and got into the penalty area to set up defense.

There is no chance of counterattack!

But fortunately, he gained the ball.

"Come again!"

Suk shouted loudly.

Guti looked at the dense defense line, and he immediately passed the ball back and reorganized.

"Very calm! That's right, that's how it should be. Don't attack too hastily. When you have the chance, attack the opponent's direction. If there's no chance, we can take our time!"

Gonzalez sighed again.

Suddenly it feels like Real Madrid is in good rhythm.

Overall, he played calmly and performed very well.

Suker moved to the left wing position this time, and the opponent's full-back Stach followed closely.

Su Ke continued to retreat and directly reached the midfield line.

Stach finally stopped following. Zurich's midfielder Okowo hadn't caught up yet, and Suker was in a neutral position.

When Guti saw Su Ke's position, he immediately shouted anxiously: "Pass it here! Pass it here! Ah~~it's too slow!"

Seeing Okowo stick to Suk's side, Guti beat his thigh angrily.

Suk looked at Guti funny, why was this guy acting more anxious than himself.

"Take it easy!"

Su Ke comforted himself, but felt something in his heart.

Zurich's defensive transition rhythm was a bit stiff.

When one player leaves him, another player cannot follow immediately.

This is an opportunity that Su Ke can take advantage of.

"Watch my location!"

Suk continued to shout toward the backcourt.

Sometimes, Suker cannot directly pass the ball to the player in a straight line, but a right-angle pass can.

Just like just now, there was Eggert between Suker and Diarra, but Diarra, Guti, and Suker, this right-angle passing line can be used.

Diarra and others are all experienced people, and they immediately understood what Su Ke meant.

At the same time, Suker also began to continuously run laterally at the midfield line.

In the 13th minute, Suker appeared on the left wing again. At the same time, there was no defensive player beside him.

This time, Diarra decisively passed the ball to Guti, who did not hesitate to pass the ball through.

Suker caught the ball before Okowo arrived.

Suk turned around along the sideline and began to sprint quickly.

"Suke! Charge up!"

Gonzalez yelled.

The Real Madrid fans at the scene also burst into fierce cheers.

Zurich fans looked at Suker nervously.

Suker moved forward at high speed along the sideline. Zurich midfielder Okowo was two positions behind him, but he was still chasing after him.

"Stach! Make him slow down!"

Okowo shouted to his teammates.

Zurich's right back Stach immediately moved forward, but he was approaching too fast.

Suker directly pushed the ball diagonally at a suitable distance. At the same time, he overtook from the outside, squeezed in front of Stach, and sprinted diagonally to catch up with the ball again.

"Oh~~~The ball passed! Su Ke entered the penalty area!"

Su Ke was in the penalty area and looked up at the opponent's goal. The angle was almost blocked.

Seeing this, Suk suddenly raised his right foot and made a pass.

The ball spun rapidly, falling toward the back post in a short and fast arc.

And there, Raul rushed in, jumped up suddenly, and headed the ball towards the goal.

Uh-huh!

The ball hits the net.

In the 14th minute, Real Madrid scored the first goal.

Suker assisted Raul and scored.

"Gooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!"

"Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!!"

"The great King of the Ring Raul, wonderful header, he appeared in the most appropriate position."

"With this goal, Real Madrid leads Zurich 1:0!"

"At the same time, we cannot ignore Suker's performance. He made a wonderful breakthrough from the wing. He passed the ball and got rid of Stach's press. At the same time, he passed the ball accurately to the back post."

"We all know that Su Ke has unparalleled impact on the front line. He is a killer in front of the goal and an all-around shooter."

"But we forget that when Suker first became famous, he was a supercar on the left and a Croatian fast horse who combined speed and technology."

"This goal is the best proof!"

"For a long time, we focused too much on Suker's scoring statistics and forgot that he can also make such wonderful dribbles and passes."

"Look! This is Real Madrid's left-wing impact!"

"Suker is the sharpest spear in Real Madrid. He will continue to poke at the opponent's weakness until he collapses!"
