Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Seventh, the Battle
This high-profile UEFA Champions League semi-final second-leg match, which fans are looking forward to, is about to begin. There is still an hour before the game starts, and the stands are already full of fans at this time.
Because their team is behind by two goals, the Red Devils fans are very clear that their team needs more support. As the twelfth man on the team, this game needs them to do something.
Since the two teams warmed up, all the home fans have been cheering and singing the team song loudly. The atmosphere of the whole stadium is very warm. They turned this place into a sea of red.
In the stands of the fans, many banners were hung, almost all of which were praises from Manchester United players.
"Legend of the Champions League, king of the left! - Ryan Giggs!"
"The best defender combination in Premier League history, Vidic and Ferdinand!"
"General Fan, where the sword is heading!"
"M × 2 winger combination - Mahrez, Martial!"
"The hardest defensive midfielder combination-Kante, Nainggolan!"
"The number one goalkeeper in the world - De Gea!"
Fans express their love for the team in their own way.
In one corner, there is also a less prominent banner that reads "Thank you Wayne; ten years of Manchester United and wish you all the best in Germany."
And in a conspicuous place in the North Stand, a huge banner hung: "Welcome home! r7!"
When Ronaldo walked into the stadium, he happened to see this banner. He came under the banner specially to pay tribute to the fans.
At this moment, I saw another section diffracted from the back of the banner, which read: "But don't score today!"
Ronaldo looked at this sentence, he waved his hands, and then folded his hands together, making a gesture of apology.
At this time, it was the fat Rodney who was pulling the banner in the stands. When he saw Ronaldo, he not only snorted coldly: "You will never score in this game, just watch!"
And Cook looked at Ronaldo who ran back to the field in a daze, and he thought to himself: Since Ronaldo left, Manchester United has never been able to dominate Europe. Under Jin Taige's rule, when will there be another world-class star like Ronaldo? Will it be De Bruyne, Icardi? Or the boys from the youth team? Will they surprise Manchester United in the future?
"Dear viewers and friends in front of the TV,
Hello everyone, welcome to btsport, I am your old friend Trike. "
"Hello friends, I'm Norrie. Today we are broadcasting the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Manchester United vs. Real Madrid at home. In the last game, Real Madrid beat Manchester United 2-0 at home. They Now they have the advantage of two goal difference. The situation of Manchester United in this game is very bad, they will definitely try their best to attack and then strive for more goals."
"Manchester United still have a 4-4-2 formation today, goalkeeper De Gea, defenders Vidic, Smalling, Alonso and Rafael, midfielders Kante, De Bruyne, Mahrez and Marcus. Charles, with Rooney and Van Persie up front. The seven substitutes are: Alisson, Valencia, Evra, Giggs, Nainggolan, Salah and Icardi."
"Manchester United's starting lineup has not changed much. Compared with the last game, Kintegger has only made adjustments in the left-back position. The younger and more aggressive Alonso made his debut. His assist ability is extremely strong. It seems that Manchester United's attack started from the back in this game."
"And Real Madrid's lineup today is also very neat. They are still in a 4-3-3 formation, goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defenders from left to right are Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Carvajal; The midfielder Casemiro is in charge of the defense at the back, Xavi Alonso and Modric are in the midfielder position, and the three forwards are Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo. The seven substitute players are: Diego ? Lopez, Varane, Coentrao, Di Maria, Illararamendi, Isco and Morata."
"Real Madrid made adjustments in the position of the midfielder in this game. Ancelotti replaced Di Maria, who performed poorly in the previous game, let Casemiro play, and then let Alonso's position be premised to organize. Before the game, many commentators thought that Ancelotti would take a defensive approach and use defensive counterattacks to deal with the game, but he did not do so. Seeing that his starting lineup is full of attack power, they are preparing to play against Manchester United It's time to fight."
Trick and Norrie guessed well, Ancelotti really wanted to play against Manchester United in this game.
He has played several games at Old Trafford before, and he is very familiar with the warm atmosphere of this stadium. He understands that Manchester United players will play a very strong role in the cheering sound of fanatical fans at Old Trafford. In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, they used their home court advantage to score four goals in a row for Olympiacos, and finally reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. So if you blindly defend in this game, it is really too dangerous. And now Real Madrid has two goal difference. If they score again here, they will win a valuable away goal.
Therefore, as soon as the game started, Real Madrid unreservedly launched a mad attack towards Manchester United's half.
Kintag anticipated this situation. He asked Kanter to defend in the midfield, but other players did not blindly defend, and bombarded Real Madrid's penalty area.
"C Ronaldo gallops on the right side he is familiar with. He knows every lawn of this stadium very well. He is likely to become the key player in deciding the outcome of this game."
"He beats Alonso! Cross! Benzema's header! High!"
"Real Madrid almost broke Manchester United's goal at the beginning!"
"De Gea passed the ball to the left-back Alonso and he ran forward with the ball!"
"Modric came up and tackled! Alonso passed the ball to De Bruyne! De Bruyne passed the ball straight forward! It was a wonderful two-for-one combination!"
"Alonso continues to run wildly with the ball! Carvajal comes up! Alonso passes directly!"
"Majeres' positioning is excellent! He dribbles into the box!"
"A low pass to the rear! Van Persie tackles! Oops, almost! Van Persie missed a good chance to reduce the total score!"
"It's been fifteen minutes since the start, and both teams seem to be disregarding defense, opening up and attacking each other's goal. And the fans were hooked too. Don't you, Norrie?"
"That's right, Trick. I have a hunch that the goal of this game is about to come. Let's guess which team will score first?"
