Chapter 63 Panic at the Bernabeu! (2.20 Guarantee 2)
Chapter 63: The Panic of the Bernabeu!
Real Madrid has strength after all, and immediately launched a counterattack after conceding the ball. After the ball was pulled out of the middle circle, Ronaldo dribbled the ball on the right and launched an attack. He and Ramos, who followed behind, cooperated twice and pressed on the right.
"Bang!"
Ronaldo's personal ability is still very strong. Under Jose Angel's close defense, he still used his body as a cover and flashed out the pass through the change of pace and directly passed the ball to Manchester United's small penalty area on the left.
The ball also had a very obvious arc in the air. It was backwards and it was definitely a very high-quality cross!
Unfortunately, the thin German midfielder Ozil was surrounded by the back point of the left, while he faced the "little fat" Rooney who retreated. The two of them were completely incomparable when they were physically confronted. The ball was pushed out by Rooney. Di Maria on the left quickly moved to the middle and controlled the ball after receiving the ball.
It just dismantled Real Madrid's attack, of course, not Manchester United's purpose, and what followed was Manchester United's rapid counterattack!
Di Maria dribbled forward in the middle, Shaq, who was in front, had already pulled to the left, and Nani rushed up from the right. Although the ball was still in his own half, the sharp momentum of Manchester United's counterattack had already come out.
At this time... Alonso of Real Madrid played his role. He rushed out of the thorn and directly pulled Di Maria down with his hand.
The action was not big, but the effect was very obvious. Manchester United's counterattack was directly strangled. Moreover, because the foul was in Manchester United's halftime, Alonso did not make much move and didn't even have to take yellow cards.
"Shhh——————”
The 6,000 Manchester United fans who came to the scene to help the team booed. There is no shortage of spectators in the Champions League now. Each team has been playing hard to create advantages for their teams and increase the price of the away team's tickets. It is just one of many ways. However, Manchester United fans are still very enthusiastic. 6,000 tickets were stolen early in the morning. They are extremely enthusiastic about the team's winning more championships this season. Expensive away tickets cannot stop their passion.
Moreover, Manchester United performed quite well in this game. Papadopoulos headed the ball and led 1-0. If Manchester United could defeat Real Madrid away and conquer the Bernabeu Stadium, Manchester United fans would not feel a pity even if they paid more.
The free kick was taken, and Manchester United's offense advanced further. After Jose Angel and Di Maria cooperated twice on the left, the Argentine suddenly dribbled the ball and turned to break through Ramos. However, the Spanish right-back reacted very quickly and tripped Di Maria directly.
The German referee still did not give a yellow card. This time, "Little Fatty" Rooney quit and took Van der Weill, Jose Angel, and went up to argue...
What's wrong!?
It's true that this is Real Madrid's home court, but you can't watch your opponents invade Di Maria in a row, just be indifferent. If you continue to do this, it will intensify the conflict between the two teams!
Rooney, who wears the captain's armband, was not a good-tempered person, but now he feels that he has the responsibility. He will argue with every unfair judgment from the referee.
German referee Dres just smiled and pressed down with his hands, meaning that Rooney would calm down. Dress certainly had a sense of proportion, and he also understood that even Rooney only came to argue with him for protection of Di Maria. However, Real Madrid Alonso and Ramos' two fouls against Di Maria were really not very good, and they did not reach the standard of playing cards. Moreover, they were fighting at home. The referee should take some care of him. However... If Real Madrid still fouls against Di Maria next, he would never be lenient. The game should be played normally. Once the Manchester United players are angry, they will do irrational things, and after the game he is evaluating, he is also responsible. If UEFA's score is behind, there will be other losses.
What is unexpected is that Shaq was the one who took the free kick from the left, and Shaq did not shoot directly or send the ball to Real Madrid's penalty area. Instead, he turned his left foot and handed the ball to Subotic behind him. He himself decisively penetrated into Real Madrid's left penalty area.
"Bang!"
Subotic understood it and sent the ball in a direct pass!
At this time, Real Madrid players were pressing offside from the goal, and Manchester United players had to withdraw, but Shaq was running in. When Subotic passed the ball, Shaq and the last Real Madrid defender French young player Valane were still two meters away from the horizontal!
But when Subotic's pass was stuffed in, Shaq had already surpassed the others with his speed and directly faced Diego Lopez!
"Danger!"
"Chance!"
"Bang!"
Shaq, who ran in diagonally, stopped the ball with his left foot, then turned his right leg upwards, and shot the ball towards Real Madrid's right goal with one kick!
The yellow UEFA Champions League special ball seemed to turn into a yellow light, and it appeared in the net behind the Real Madrid goal in the distance!
Diego Lopez faces Shaq, who is less than ten meters away from him, all he can do is gambling... bet on whether Shaq will hit the near corner or the far corner!
Unfortunately, Diego Lopez chose the wrong choice. He rushed to the near corner, completely opposite Shaq's shot...
"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
After scoring the goal, Shaq went around in front of Real Madrid's goal and ran to the other side to turn back. Then he hugged and celebrated with his teammates such as Rooney, Subotic, Nani and others.
"2:0! It only took 7 minutes of the game, and Manchester United is already leading 2:0! Shaq is in a good shape today. After assisting Papadopoulos, he finally scored by himself this time. This is also Shaq's 97th goal for Manchester United this season! It's amazing, this is a miracle! I bet that Shaq will score 100 goals for Manchester United this season! Ha!"
"Oh, Real Madrid is in danger now. They lost two goals in a row less than ten minutes after the game started. Now there is only one way in front of Ancelotti. They must give it a try. Otherwise, if they can't win this game, it will be too difficult to turn the tables at Old Trafford!"
Of course, Ancelotti knows how serious the situation his team is now, but he will never make substitution adjustments now, because the starting lineup he arranged has not yet shown its strength. Manchester United's two goals are obviously lucky.
"Have, Sergio! Control! Control the ball! Control the rhythm! Stabilize the situation!"
Ancelotti really wanted to counterattack now, but in fact he really didn't dare to do this. Real Madrid could counterattack when he lost a goal. Now he really can't take risks anymore. Real Madrid no longer has the capital to take risks anymore.
With the instructions of the head coach, Real Madrid began to consciously strengthen the ball control and slowed down the pace of the game. Of course, Simon Grayson also saw the opponent's intention, but he did not give new instructions to his players. Slow... So what's wrong? We are also a team that is good at playing control!
Originally, Simon Grayson attached great importance to this game against Real Madrid, and even prepared to rotate with the "Solar System Tactics" on the court, but the development of this game made the "brutal Simon" sit there easily and watch the game. With two away goals, he was really satisfied. Even if Real Madrid can score three goals in a row, it would be only 2:3. Manchester United can defeat the opponent in minutes after returning to Old Trafford Stadium. Moreover, if his first loss this season is lost to Real Madrid, it is not embarrassing.
Simon Grayson has a very relaxed mentality and doesn't even feel that it's hard to accept if he loses this game, but his players don't give him the chance to "enjoy" the failure at all!
On the court, Manchester United and Real Madrid, who had stabilized their position, tangled for more than 30 minutes. Although neither side got any good opportunities, the "0:2" written on the big electronic scoreboard at the Bernabeu Stadium did not change at all.
When the game was 42 minutes into the game, as the first half was about to end, Manchester United passed the ball continuously on the left, Gansuo suddenly entered from behind and ran into the penalty area on the left. Di Maria made a timely pass and sent the ball to Gansuo's feet.
This tactical change is actually one of the changes from 4-3-3 to "Solar System Tactics" that Manchester United has been practicing recently!
"Bang!"
After getting the ball, Gansuo did not hesitate at all. He turned around and "drawed" the ball with his left foot into the penalty area on the left side of the middle!
Shaq pulled out of the penalty area with his body horizontally. Although there was still a Pepe next to him, the Portuguese central defender could only grab Shaq's arm with both hands, and he couldn't get in at all.
"Dong!"
Shaq's left foot arch found the right time and angle, and directly pushed Gansu's cross ball and knocked it half-pushed and half-knocked!
Gansuo's cross was completely drawn with his left foot instep, so his speed and strength were naturally quite fast. When Shaq chose the shooting method, he also focused on rebounding and control. He did not exert much force. As a result, the ball flew into the upper left corner of Real Madrid goal with a "whizz".
This...this is in!?
Diego Lopez stood in front of his goal in a daze, and his head had not yet reacted. He was still watching Gansu, who had been holding the ball, but the ball flew into the middle in the blink of an eye and then flew into the upper left corner of his goal...
This is too fucking fast!?
"Beautiful goal! So fast! Manchester United's attack was simply a sudden sneak attack. Gansu's cross was more similar to a shot, but Shaq controlled the ball, not only completed the shot, but also had a tricky angle! This ball... tsk, it's really impossible to defend!"
"Shak's goal reminds me of Bayern Munich's shooting method in recent years. They often use fast crosses to hit the opponent's penalty area. Then, as long as their players touch a little, they can create a threat. This should be a major direction for the development of modern football."
The commentators were still chattering and appreciating Shaq's double score, but the fans of Real Madrid in the Bernabeu stadium were already collectively silenced... 0:3!
What the hell is this rhythm!?
We...will not be slaughtered by Manchester United at home like Barcelona!?
At this moment, fear surged in every Real Madrid fan. They thought of Barcelona being beaten by the "Red Devils" at the Camp Nou Stadium. Could it be that Manchester United has become the nemesis of the La Liga team? This time it is our turn to Real Madrid to be beaten by them!?
The panic of Real Madrid fans uncontrollably spread, and the atmosphere at the entire Bernabeu Stadium became depressing... Not only was it suppressed, but there was also a deep worry inside, as if Real Madrid was trembling in front of Manchester United, like fear and fear!
