Chapter 594 Benzema
"Foul!!" Before the referee said anything, the Real Madrid fans in the stands jumped up from their seats, pointing at Bruno in the field and shouting in unison.
Most players would quickly wave their hands to indicate that they did not commit a foul, but Bruno did not do this. He did not have time to prove anything to others, because this was a good opportunity for Manchester United to attack!
Bruno did not care about the referee at all. If the referee whistled for a foul, he would talk about it. If not, he would send the ball out and the game would continue!
When he got up from the ground, Ronaldo was still lying on the ground, raising his hands to indicate that the opponent had committed a foul.
The referee did not meet the wishes of the Real Madrid fans, but just hooked his hand to indicate that Ronaldo got up, and then ran after Bruno.
Manchester United's attack!
Bruno dribbled the ball forward along the side, Cancelo escorted him, Rashford met him in front, and Harry Kane retreated and Kante in the middle. If he was farther away, he could directly pass the ball to Mbappe and Valencia on the right.
Because Ronaldo lost the ball, Real Madrid's defense seemed very hasty.
Bruno moved forward for more than 20 meters before someone came up to block him.
As soon as Casemiro appeared in front of Bruno, Bruno passed the ball to Harry Kane who came back to respond, and at the same time he continued to run forward to create the illusion of a two-on-one with Harry Kane.
Real Madrid's defense was indeed pulled by him, and Harry Kane took the opportunity to pass the ball to Rashford on the wing.
Rashford made another cross, and Mbappe, who was flanking in the middle, headed the ball and missed slightly.
………………
Real Madrid escaped a disaster, and their fans had more reason to be dissatisfied with the referee and Bruno, dissatisfied with the referee for not calling a foul, dissatisfied with Bruno's rough actions and lack of sportsmanship.
When you saw Ronaldo lying on the ground, didn't you know to reach out and kick the ball out of the sideline?
The Spanish commentator also had a similar view.
In fact, in the eyes of the commentator, the referee of this game has long been a "black whistle" who favors Manchester United.
When Bruno "brutally" tackled Ronaldo, the referee should have shown him a yellow card, but the referee only gave him a verbal warning.
This time it was even more excessive. Ronaldo was kicked to the ground, but the referee didn't even blow the foul!
Since the referee didn't give Real Madrid and Ronaldo a fair penalty, they will preside over this justice themselves!
Now as soon as Bruno gets the ball, the Kyiv Olympic Stadium will immediately remember the uniform boos of Real Madrid fans.
Real Madrid fans hate Bruno, but Manchester United fans like him very much. As soon as Real Madrid fans start booing Bruno, Manchester United fans in the stands start singing.
There are boos on one side and singing on the other side. Fans of both sides compete in this way.
………………
The TV was replaying Bruno's tackle on Ronaldo. For such controversial shots, they had to be replayed several times so that everyone could see it clearly.
"No problem at all! No problem at all! This was a very clean tackle! Bruno stretched his body straight and didn't even touch the corner of Ronaldo's clothes!"
The Spanish commentator who had just vowed that it must be a rude, barbaric and immoral foul shut up, because no matter from which angle, this was an impeccable tackle, very clean.
Ronaldo fell because his foot tripped on the football, due to inertia!
Real Madrid did not slow down the offensive momentum because Ronaldo was stopped by Bruno. They continued to strengthen their offensive, attacking, attacking and attacking again.
They had to equalize the score before the end of the first half. This season, Real Madrid has lost all four major titles in the domestic arena. The Champions League is their last hope to win the championship.
If they entered the halftime break with a score of 0:1 in the first half, it would cause a lot of changes in the second half of the game, and they might even miss the championship.
A season without any of the four major goals is unacceptable to Real Madrid players, Real Madrid management, and Real Madrid fans.
So no matter what, the score must be equalized before the end of the first half. It would be better if the lead could be reversed in the first half.
But at least they have not lost their composure and know that some things cannot be forced.
………………
The attack that Bruno stopped just now was just one of the few shining performances of Manchester United during this period. More often, Manchester United could only be pressed in their own half by the powerful Real Madrid, relying on long passes to organize the attack. Only Mbappe was left in front, and even Harry Kane and Rashford had to go back to defend.
Mbappe stayed in front because this kid's defensive ability was almost zero, and there was no effect in going back. It would be better to stay in front to contain the Real Madrid defenders.
Mbappe, who is extremely fast, is definitely a good counterattack player. Real Madrid will never dare to leave him alone!
Real Madrid launched a fierce offensive against Manchester United's hinterland amid the continuous cheers of the fans.
Just looking at the offensive during this period, you would feel that it is only a matter of time before Real Madrid wins this game, because Manchester United had no chance to fight back under their attack. All they could do was defend, and defend.
Although Manchester United's defense is also very good, they have relied on airtight defense to win many victories before. But now their opponent is Real Madrid, one of the most offensive teams on the planet, with top forwards such as Ronaldo and Benzema, and even superstars such as Bale sitting on the bench. Not many fans believe in Manchester United Able to keep not conceding the ball.
Not to mention the spectators' doubts, even Manchester United's own players were doubting whether they could hold on like this.
………………
Real Madrid finally equalized the score before the end of the first half.
In the 37th minute, they organized a successful attack, but Ronaldo was still firmly restrained by Bruno. But this time Ronaldo did not confront Bruno head-on. He attracted Bruno's attention and quickly transferred the football to Modric in the middle.
Modric passed the football to Cross, and Cross became Real Madrid's main offensive point, while Ronaldo became a feint.
This adjustment caught Manchester United off guard.
Originally watching Ronaldo take the ball, everyone thought that Ronaldo's side would become the main direction of the team's offense. Unexpectedly, the football was suddenly moved to Manchester United's right wing and Real Madrid's left wing. Marcelo came in from behind, Cross pushed a through ball, Marcelo broke into the penalty area, and then made a cross!
Benzema in the penalty area grabbed the point and shot with a kick!
De Gea made a save and the ball hit him on the arm, hit the post and then passed through the gap between him and the near post.
………………
"The ball is in!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOL!! GOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOL! GOL! GOL! GOOOL!! Good! OoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOl — "
The Spanish commentators were shouting like crazy. Listening to their explanations really makes people admire their lung capacity.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! Long live! Real Madrid! Long live! Karim Benzema! Long live!!!" After shouting "goal" in one breath, he roared like a machine gun, "He is for the ball." The team equalized the score! Real Madrid equalized the score! Real Madrid regained the initiative and advantage! Real Madrid now has great hope of defeating the opponent! This will be a huge blow to Manchester United! Go forward! You are invincible!”
"Oops! Real Madrid scored!" He Wei made no secret of his disappointment and displeasure in the commentary. "This goal was scored... It's such a pity! De Gea even pounced on the ball, but it's a pity that he missed it!"
"Marcelo... keep an eye on him, don't let him pass the ball... Benzema! Benzema!" British commentator Lineker screamed, "Oops! Oops! The ball went in... … Benzema equalizes for Real Madrid! Manchester United’s lead is lost…”
In the commentary box, after Benzema hit the football, the commentators showed several different postures. The Spanish commentator raised his hands and stood up from his seat, while the British commentator put his head in his hands. Lie down on the interpretation table.
The neutral commentators were relatively calm, but they all applauded Real Madrid's goal because it would make the game better to watch.
As a neutral, of course I don’t want to see a situation where one company dominates a game. How many people like a one-sided game?
………………
In the stands, Real Madrid fans cheered so loudly that they nearly shook the stands at Kyiv's Olympic Stadium. They were chanting: "Real Madrid! Real Madrid! Real Madrid!!!"
Unlike the excited Real Madrid fans, many Manchester United fans held their heads in their hands and looked frustrated.
What they were worried about finally became a reality. Although they had worried before, when this moment really came, everyone still couldn't accept it for a while.
The players of Real Madrid were celebrating the goal, and Benzema was surrounded by everyone, patting and beating him.
On the other side, Bruno is encouraging everyone: "It's just a goal! We are still tied with them! We are not behind, there is nothing to worry about! The key now is that we must be steady. There are only a few minutes left before the end of the first half. We must not lose any more points during this period!”
He kept clapping his hands and shouting loudly to his teammates to calm everyone's restless hearts because of losing the ball.
