Chapter 592: Mentality

Manchester United were ecstatic, as if they had already won the championship. Next door, the Real Madrid coaching staff was silent, Zidane had a gloomy face and bit his lower lip.

There was nothing much to say about the goal loss this time. The opponent planned carefully and took every step carefully, which eventually led to his defense making mistakes.

It can be said that such opportunities do not appear often, but Manchester United really seized this opportunity and scored a goal.

But will they give up? Real Madrid will not do such a thing!

This lag was just a small episode. With their strong strength, the difference of one goal is nothing at all.

However, this goal loss made Zidane see a problem. He walked to the sidelines, shouted Ramos' name, and then signaled him to stay in the backcourt as much as possible and not to rush out like he did just now.

The game had just started not long ago. It was a stalemate at this time, and there was no problem. It was far from the time to burn the boats.

Ramos nodded. He really had to be careful in the next game. The situation like the previous one must not appear on the court for the second time!

Casemiro lowered his head and blamed himself. If he hadn't rushed forward when he saw Bruno, there wouldn't be so many problems.

Ramos came up and patted him on the back, telling him not to blame himself too much.

………………

Ronaldo stood near the midfield and looked back at the Manchester United players celebrating the goal, especially Bruno, who was surrounded by Manchester United and wearing the Manchester United captain's armband.

He thought Manchester United was nothing special, and his team would definitely win this game. The game was not fun, and the only thing that interested him was the duel with Bruno.

Many European media said that today's Champions League final between him and Bruno was the duel for this year's European Golden Ball Award and this year's World Footballer of the Year.

After all, the two are teammates in the national team, and the national team's performance cannot widen the gap between them, so the only way to decide the winner is in terms of club performance.

At present, Bruno and Manchester United are leading in club performance. After all, Real Madrid has no four major titles in the domestic arena, while Manchester United has won the Premier League with an unbeaten record, and also won the FA Cup and League Cup.

The Champions League is Ronaldo's only hope to surpass Bruno!

Now it seems that he is wrong. Manchester United, his old club, has truly restored the strength of the top European teams. It is a strong opponent that he and Real Madrid must face with all their strength!

Even, Ronaldo thinks that Manchester United is stronger than Barcelona!

At this moment, he no longer wants to compete with Bruno. He thinks that leading the team to defeat Manchester United and win the Champions League three times in a row is a truly fulfilling thing.

………………

The celebration of Manchester United fans was very crazy, but the celebration of Manchester United players was very short. After Bruno shouted those words, everyone dispersed and prepared to resume the game.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas kicked the football out with his big foot and it fell to Benzema. Real Madrid also quickly sorted out their mood and prepared to play again.

He Wei's excitement has not yet subsided. He is still saying: "This season, Manchester United has always had good luck in the Champions League knockout rounds. They have not encountered top giants. Shakhtar Donetsk is only a team in the second-tier European league, Roma is just an ordinary team in Serie A, and Manchester City has never proved itself in the Champions League. Therefore, many people think that Manchester United's advancement to the Champions League final is due to luck. Even though they are invincible in the Premier League, few people think that they have the strength of the top European giants comparable to Real Madrid and Sampdoria."

"But after watching the past 20 minutes of the game, who dares to say that Manchester United is a team that can only enter the final by luck? Who dares to say that they can't beat Real Madrid? Manchester United's players have told everyone with practical actions that they can travel across England and reach the Champions League final because of their strong strength! Even facing Real Madrid, the king of the Champions League who successfully defended the Champions League, they dare to face it head-on! They are worthy of their title of Red Devils!"

………………

The referee blew the whistle and the game started again.

Real Madrid rushed up with murderous intent, wanting to score as soon as possible. They didn't even pass the ball back, they just went forward after the ball was opened.

Real Madrid's offensive surged up like a rising tide.

Bruno directed his teammates to return to defense. He didn't want his team to be equalized by the opponent in less than a minute after just scoring a goal.

At the same time, Bruno was still thinking, can he take advantage of Real Madrid's opportunity to press forward to equalize the score and score another goal?

This is Bruno. If it were other players, they might be satisfied with being able to lead Real Madrid by one goal, but Bruno would never be satisfied, and he didn't think it was a great thing to lead Real Madrid by one goal. He would talk about it after winning Real Madrid.

Unfortunately, Real Madrid didn't give Manchester United any chance this time. Varane and Ramos, the two central defenders, resolutely refused to press forward. Marcelo and Carvajal, the two full-backs, also quickly returned to defense after assisting. They were obviously scared by Manchester United's fast attack.

………………

In the past few minutes, Manchester United defended with all their strength, and Real Madrid attacked with all their strength.

Ronaldo became active again, and his one-on-one match with Bruno became the focus of everyone's attention.

In the previous one-on-one matches, Ronaldo was the winner in the end, but Bruno was more and more entangled each time.

This time when Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball and planned to use his skills with his feet and dribbling laterally to tear apart Manchester United's defense, as soon as he started, Bruno took the lead and destroyed the football!

"Oh!!" There was an exclamation from the stands.

This is the first time Bruno has won a one-on-one match with Ronaldo. He didn't expect it to come so easily and suddenly.

Ronaldo himself didn't expect it. He was stunned for a moment, and then tried to control the ball. The ball had already been caught by Kanter.

Real Madrid's attack ends here.

Soon Ronaldo came again. This time he received the ball from the wing, first passed Rashford, and then took it to the ribs.

Seeing Bruno rushing forward, Ronaldo stopped suddenly, pushed the football to the outside, and then started again. The pause was so short that Bruno didn't even react.

But Bruno's explosive power is really amazing. Seeing Ronaldo start again, he shoveled directly from the side.

Even if it is a foul, we must stop Ronaldo!

………………

Bruno got his wish. Cristiano Ronaldo was shoveled to the ground by Bruno just as he started. The ball was lost and the man fell.

The referee's whistle sounded. This was indeed a foul.

The Real Madrid players surrounded the referee and asked him to play a card, but the referee did not seem to intend to do so. He kept shaking his head and refused the suggestions of the Real Madrid players.

The Spanish commentator quit and shouted loudly: "What is this? This is murder! FIFA has said that it will protect Cristiano Ronaldo. Why is it that the referee is indifferent to this kind of foul and just stops the game?! If I were the referee, I would give that kid a red card! Because he hurt Ronaldo, he hurt the king of football, and he hurt all the fans who love beautiful football!”

He couldn't wait to accuse Bruno of crimes, but his saliva could not help Ronaldo's revenge at all.

Bruno got up from the ground, spread his hands and ran back, without even a friendly gesture of pulling up Ronaldo to apologize.

His actions aroused the disgust of Real Madrid fans, and for the first time boos broke out in the stands.

The previous game was very exciting. Fans from both sides only cared about cheering for their own teams and did not point the finger at the other side's fans.

Things are different now. Seeing the hero in their team being treated like this by Bruno, Real Madrid fans gave up.

He Wei certainly didn't think this was such a violent foul. He said: "This is a foul, but the circumstances are not serious. Bruno went for the football. He did not lift his feet or show the soles of his shoes. This was an ordinary foul." It was a foul and the referee was right not to show a yellow card!”

………………

In fact, Bruno used this foul to tell Ronaldo, don't think that you can break through casually, and think carefully next time you pass in front of me.

So when he ran back, he kept staring at Ronaldo's. This was a silent demonstration.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not see Bruno's silent demonstration, but he was not a fool. He could feel something from this foul. This kid would not show mercy to him just because the two had a good relationship in private.

Ronaldo got up from the ground, his ankle still hurt a little. Although the bones were not injured, the head-on collision was enough for him to bear.

Real Madrid got a free kick that was 38 meters away from the goal and was very off-position. This free kick was obviously not a threat to Manchester United and could only be passed.

However, after Modric's free kick was passed in, Van Dijk pushed it out, and Real Madrid's attack failed.

Now Manchester United is in the lead, but the Manchester United fans were not happy for long. They were only excited for a while after the goal, and then fell into a deep worry.

For an opponent like Real Madrid, a one-goal lead is not safe!

Although Real Madrid equalized the score, it only brought the two sides back to the same starting line, but the reality that they were already ahead made Manchester United fans worry about gains and losses. They would think: "Since we are already ahead, why do we still need to Are you content with being equalized by the opponent? "

Not only Manchester United fans have this idea, but Manchester United players also have similar ideas.

Although the opinions within the team are relatively unified, that is, after taking the lead, continue to attack and strive to expand the lead.

But everyone is always worried about possible situations. They are worried about being equalized by Real Madrid, worried that Real Madrid will be morale-boosted because of the equalized score, worried that they will take the opportunity to overtake the score...
