Episode [209]: Why Did I Choose to Come Here?

At the start of the game, Real Madrid's starting lineup was exactly the same as the lineup in the first round between the two sides.

Home team: Real Madrid, head coach: Juande Ramos, formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Back four [from left to right]: Heinze, Pepe, Cannavaro and Sergio Ramos

Midfield four [from left to right]: Arjen Robben, Guti, Lars Diarra and Higuain

Two forwards: Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy

Leeds United's starting lineup is somewhat different from last time, as follows:

Away team; Leeds United, head coach: Zhong Cheng, formation: 4-1-3-2

goalkeeper; clockkeeper

Back four [from left to right]: Patrick Evra, Kompany, David Luiz and Lichtsteiner

Single midfielder: Seydo Keita

Midfield three [from left to right]: Gareth Bale, Yaya Toure and Cristiano Ronaldo

Double forward: Diego Milito and Edinson Cavani

This is similar to the first round match between the two sides. There were two personnel changes. One of them was the right back. Lichtsteiner replaced Glen Johnson. This is a normal rotation. Glen Johnson is now sitting on the bench waiting for his chance.

Another one is the forward line. Luka Modric is injured. Yaya Toure is starting today, and Toni Kroos is sitting on the bench waiting for his opportunity.

Real Madrid, which was lagging behind on the aggregate score, rushed forward crazily at the first opportunity and besieged Leeds United.

Obviously, Real Madrid came here for the purpose of fighting for once. They don't want to become the 16th player in the Champions League again. Promotion is their only option.

The Leeds United fans at the scene used the title of Champions League Champions League to distract the hearts of the Real Madrid players and angered the Real Madrid players. The faces of the Real Madrid players were not good-looking, but their offense was Very sharp.

The golden wolf Guti in the midfield suddenly dribbled the ball diagonally, flicked a shot in front of Leeds United's Seydou Keita, and then suddenly made a reverse diagonal kick and stuffed the football into the Leeds United penalty area.

Raul, who was on the penalty area line, rushed in quickly and met the ball with a furious shot!

The football flew quickly towards the Leeds United goal. Zhong Zheng reacted quickly and threw the football into his arms with a side dive.

"Beautiful save, Aldrich was very focused and resolved this crisis!" Eddie Gray said immediately.

"However, Leeds United players must adjust their condition and enter the game as soon as possible. Otherwise, just one Aldridge is not enough. Leeds United players should be careful!" Mark Lauren Sen said immediately.

Yes, Leeds United's players were a little slow to enter the state in this game, which made Leeds United very passive on the court, and Real Madrid's offensive was overwhelming.

Zhong Cheng stood on the sidelines, frowning slightly. This game was indeed a bit different from his expectations!

Here we go again, Real Madrid's attack is here again!

This time, after Real Madrid passed the ball back and forth in the midfield, Lars Diarra in the center passed the ball diagonally to the wing. Arjen Robben on the wing pretended to hit the ball after receiving the ball. Suddenly dribbling the ball and cutting inside laterally.

Unfortunately, as soon as he cut inside, the ball was cut off by Lichtensteiner who was blocked.

Lichtsteiner was in a very good mood, very happy: "It's true, the boss is really a genius!"

Before the game, Zhong Cheng analyzed the personal characteristics of the Real Madrid players in detail with the Leeds United players. Arjen Robben is the one with the most obvious characteristics. When this guy gets the ball from the wing, nine times out of ten he will cut inside and then take the shot himself.

Moreover, after Arjen Robben comes on the court, he will switch positions back and forth.

Lichtsteiner kept these in mind and carefully followed Zhong Cheng's reminders to play football. As expected, it became much easier.

The fans at the scene gave Lichsteiner thunderous applause!

This is not the first time that Lichtsteiner has blocked Arjen Robben's cutback, so the Leeds United fans at the scene were very excited.

Seeing this, although Leeds United were passive, they felt as if Leeds United had won.

On the sidelines, Real Madrid head coach Juande Ramos also had the same idea, frowning.

This guy Zhong Cheng is really awesome, he actually calculated all this.

Juande Ramos feels that Zhong Cheng is really difficult to deal with, and Zhong Cheng has grown a lot more than before. If this continues, Zhong Cheng will eventually grow into a super devil!

Juande Ramos immediately came to the sidelines and signaled the Real Madrid players to change positions to disrupt Leeds United's defense so that they could take advantage of the chaos and get more opportunities.

Leeds United counterattacked on the pitch. Midfielder Yaya Toure passed a long ball directly from the backcourt and found Cristiano Ronaldo on the wing.

Cristiano Ronaldo kept moving forward in small steps facing Heinze in front of him.

Heinze and Cristiano Ronaldo both played for Manchester United and were teammates. In normal training, the two often train together, so the two are familiar with each other and almost know what the other wants to do?

So this defense is relatively easy, because Heinze knows how powerful Cristiano Ronaldo is, so he is very cautious and careful.

Suddenly, when Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't paying attention, Heinze made a direct move and stole the football from Cristiano Ronaldo's feet.

Heinze did not give Cristiano Ronaldo a chance to counterattack, and immediately sent the football out, and the football rolled directly to Higuain in front.

Higuain had switched positions with Arjen Robben and came to the left.

As soon as Higuain got the ball, Leeds United's full-back Lichtsteiner rushed out quickly and made a sliding tackle with great force. But Higuain was very alert and quickly lifted the football upwards, directly over Lichtsteiner's sliding tackle. He jumped suddenly and avoided Lichtsteiner's sliding tackle.

After landing, Higuain immediately took the ball and rushed towards the Leeds United penalty area.

In the middle, the two forwards Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy are waiting for Comrade Higuain to deliver artillery shells. Comrade Higuain ignored the two men's requests for the ball and cut inside into Leeds United's penalty area. Suddenly he feinted laterally, opened up a gap, and shot directly with his legs.

With a bang, the football whizzed past, grazing the near post and flying out of the baseline!

Higuain shook his head helplessly. He thought this goal would definitely be scored!

It's a pity that he just lacks a little luck! This was a very good opportunity and he almost scored.

Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy in the middle complained a little. They were in a better position. If the ball was passed, the chance of scoring a goal was very high.

It's a pity that Higuain didn't even bother these two, and turned around and retreated.

Higuain is still simmering with anger in his heart. Playing this damn right midfielder makes him very unhappy. He is so angry that he wants to play as a forward. He needs more goals to prove himself that he is no worse than Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy!

Therefore, for such an opportunity, Higuain would rather come by himself than pass the ball.

Juande Ramos was furious on the sidelines. These guys on the court didn't follow the tactics and routines at all. They kicked themselves. It was like a mess. It's strange that Real Madrid can advance to the next round!

Juande Ramos immediately came to the sidelines and shouted loudly to remind the Real Madrid players on the court, but the Real Madrid players ignored him.

Juande Ramos was expressionless, and no one else could do this as a head coach.

Boom!

Leeds United's goalkeeper Zhong Zheng kicked the football out with a big kick, and the football flew quickly towards the frontcourt. Diego Milito in the frontcourt and Cannavaro, who rushed up diagonally, jumped up at the same time, and Cannavaro pushed the football away.

Cannavaro's bounce was really good, and he pushed the football out with one head.

However, the football flew straight to Yaya Toure. Yaya Toure immediately stopped the ball with his chest. Without waiting for the football to hit the ground, he immediately pushed the football towards Cannavaro's hand.

Cannavaro and Real Madrid fans were shocked, dangerous!

The football flew past Cannavaro quickly and flew into the space behind him.

Edinson Cavani quickly and diagonally inserted into the dangerous position. Just after the ball was inserted, Edinson Cavani kept the ball and swept it with his leg towards the lower right corner of the goal.

With a bang, the football flew out quickly!

With sudden changes and lightning speed, this ball is very dangerous.

Fortunately, Casillas was very focused in front of the goal. Coupled with his amazing reaction speed, his ejected body instantly intercepted the football and blocked it from the baseline.

"Hiss!" Eddie Gray took a sharp breath. Compared with Aldridge, Casillas is no less generous!

The Real Madrid fans at the scene gave Casillas thunderous applause and called Casillas "Saint Casillas". Obviously, in the hearts of Real Madrid fans, Casillas is their patron saint.

Bang bang bang!

Zhong Cheng on the sidelines couldn't help but applaud. This ball was indeed saved very beautifully, very awesome. Casillas really lives up to his reputation, he is really awesome.

Casillas immediately jumped up from the turf and roared loudly into the stadium: "Follow people, follow your own people, don't be thrown away easily, we must win this game, give it to me Move, quickly, quickly!"

The players of Real Madrid were stunned for a moment, and then started to move one after another.

Casillas is still very prestigious in Real Madrid. When he shouts, he is even more useful than Juande Ramos on the sidelines. Who told everyone to obey Casillas?

Seeing this, Juande Ramos had a wry smile on his face. Maybe he didn't expect that one day he would be able to do this as a head coach, right?

Juande Ramos walked out anyway and shouted into the stadium: "Pay attention to defense! Follow the people around you and don't leave any gaps for the Leeds United people, you know? This is a very dangerous thing. Let's all run and be active." Some!"

Real Madrid players on the court directly outnumbered Juande Ramos, and Juande Ramos had no choice. Who asked himself to commit suicide and chose to come to Real Madrid as the head coach?

If I were given another chance, I would never agree to come to Real Madrid, for sure!
