Chapter 600 The Real Real Madrid

This impromptu battlefield meeting ended quickly, and everyone dispersed to prepare for the kickoff.

At this time, Real Madrid made personnel adjustments. The fourth official played a substitution card, and No. 11 Gareth Bale replaced Isco.

Obviously, this is a signal to strengthen the attack.

When Real Madrid was making substitutions, Ronaldo, who was about to kick off, heard Modric call him: "Cristiano."

Ronaldo turned to look at Modric.

"Is Bruno difficult to deal with?" Modric asked.

Ronaldo has failed to break through from Bruno several times. Now when he gets the ball, if Bruno is in front of him, he usually chooses to pass the ball instead of breaking through.

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded and said: "He always seems to be able to guess my thoughts. It's difficult to be one-on-one with him..."

Cristiano Ronaldo was also very emotional. He didn't expect that his teammate in the national team not only had amazing strength on the offensive end, but was also so strong on defense. It was really unimaginable.

………………

Modric confirmed his guess. He had been observing Ronaldo and Bruno during the game. He found that Bruno was very good in one-on-one defense. Except for the first two times, Ronaldo was completely unable to get rid of Bruno. defense.

Although as he grows older, Cristiano Ronaldo no longer relies on breakthroughs to threaten opponents, but plays more of a terminator role, but his breakthroughs are still a weapon for Real Madrid on the offensive end and also a weapon for Real Madrid. One of the people with the strongest breakthrough ability in the team. As a result, now he is helpless against Bruno's defense, which shows that Bruno's defensive ability is extraordinary.

Ronaldo is undoubtedly the core of the team's offense. He often plays the role of center or winger, threatening the opponent's defense with his breakthrough, running, shooting and header abilities.

Now that the core of the offense is frozen by the opponent, it is natural that Real Madrid is lagging behind in the score.

After confirming the speculation, Modric reflected on it. Over the past two seasons, Ronaldo's condition has been really good. So much so that everyone has developed a mentality of dependence, thinking that as long as they leave the football to him, everything will be fine.

When the game fails to open up, teammates are also used to passing the football to Ronaldo, allowing Ronaldo to use his abilities to create opportunities.

But that is based on "Cristiano Ronaldo is the strongest one-on-one player in world football today, and no one can defend him."

Now that the player with "the strongest one-on-one ability in world football today" has met his opponent, we can't just rely on him.

………………

Modric made a "come closer to me" gesture to Ronaldo and said to him: "You are too far away from me. Come closer and we will use cooperation to get around him."

Ronaldo nodded.

Modric then said to Kroos: "You come closer too."

Mourinho's method of dealing with Ronaldo is very common, which is to cut off the connection between Ronaldo, Modric and Kroos, and force them to keep a sufficient distance between them.

Without midfield support, Cristiano Ronaldo could only fight alone. This kind of defense was very successful, so in the history of Cristiano Ronaldo's matches with Mourinho's team, he only scored one goal in 14 games.

For a player like Ronaldo, it is incredible to only score one goal in 14 games against a specific coach.

He can score more than 50 goals in a season, but he can't score against Mourinho's team. This can not but be said to be a miracle.

As long as Ronaldo can maintain a suitable distance from Modric and Kroos, his threat will greatly increase.

So Modric wants everyone to get closer so that they can cooperate in passing.

What makes Real Madrid powerful is not that one person's dribbling skills are invincible, but that their passing and cutting coordination is invincible. Once you let them put the football up, unless you park a bus and go to the goal, they can always find holes and flaws in your defense and exploit them.

So you can understand how shocked the Real Madrid fans were after Manchester United scored the second goal - that is the offensive method their team is good at!

………………

The game resumes with Real Madrid kicking off.

Fans and TV viewers outside the stadium quickly noticed the changes in Real Madrid, and so did the commentators.

"Real Madrid has stepped up its attack... and the distance between the attacking players has shortened, which helps Modric's delivery..."

Once the distance is shortened, Real Madrid's offense immediately becomes a threat.

Just a minute after the game restarted, Real Madrid organized an attack. Modric passed to Cross, who passed to Ronaldo.

Because the distance between the three is close enough, the accuracy of the pass is guaranteed, and it is difficult for Manchester United players to intercept the ball.

Even Bruno can't do anything about this. No matter how powerful he is, he can guard Ronaldo one-on-one, but he can't guard three people...

In particular, the distance between these three people is very close, the passing speed is fast, and the movement is flexible, so it is quite difficult to defend.

After Ronaldo received the ball, he dribbled diagonally and seemed to be about to break through. Bruno got stuck, but he passed the football to Modric with his heel.

Modric split the ball directly and gave it to Cross who ran to the wing.

Cross did not pass the ball directly, but passed the ball low into the penalty area. Bell, who had just come on as a substitute, stepped in and caught the ball in his ribs!

"Beautiful!" the Spanish commentator shouted.

Real Madrid pushed the ball into the opponent's penalty area, so it was very close to scoring. No wonder he was excited.

………………

Bale turned and swept the ball to the middle, Benzema and Van Dijk rushed at the same time and fought in front of the goal.

But none of them touched the ball, and the ball fell directly to the back point!

"Cristiano Ronaldo--!!" Almost all the commentators exclaimed!

But He Wei was different from them. He was shouting another person's name: "Bruno!!"

Ronaldo shot directly at the back point, but the ball did not fly to the goal, but was blocked by Bruno's thigh as soon as it went out.

In Real Madrid's fast attack, Bruno couldn't do anything to Ronaldo, but they always had to hit the ball to the front of the goal, so he just had to guard the front of the goal.

However, he was not happy with the successful defense this time, because if the ball was poked into the goal by Benzema, what would happen if he defended Ronaldo at the back point?

Real Madrid does not only have Ronaldo as an attacking point.

Bruno did not feel complacent because of the successful defense. On the contrary, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. This was not because he was tired, but because he was scared. The strong strength of Real Madrid made them have to be cautious in every defense. There were still 30 minutes in the game, and such defense had to continue.

The opponent's attack would invisibly add a lot of pressure to Manchester United's defense because they were worried about losing the ball.

Bruno didn't know how long his teammates could last under such pressure. All he could do was to do his best in every defense from now on and not let the opponent succeed.

………………

Ronaldo was not upset because he didn't score a goal. He pointed to the corner kick point and signaled his teammates to prepare for the corner kick.

This was what made Bruno feel terrible. The team did not lose their fighting spirit or their calmness.

The current Real Madrid is probably the real complete form!

Does the game start from now?

Although this sentence is cliché, it is exactly what Bruno really thinks at the moment.

For Real Madrid fans, the real final does start from now on.

They saw the familiar Real Madrid, the invincible Real Madrid, the Real Madrid that could finish the game in the first thirty minutes as long as it was running normally.

This was the biggest source of their confidence.

No one was worried anymore. The game was indeed full of twists and turns, but Real Madrid would definitely win in the end.

"Manchester United is indeed a very good opponent. I like them very much!"

"They deserve our respect. By defeating such an opponent, the championship trophy of Real Madrid is full of gold!"

"This is a wonderful final! It's wonderful! Manchester United has caused us enough trouble, but I believe that we will definitely win in the end!"

...

Everyone praised the opponent Manchester United in the tone of a winner, as if this could reflect the demeanor of a winner.

………………

Three minutes after falling behind for the second time, Real Madrid equalized the score for the second time.

This goal was wonderful. They almost passed the ball into the goal!

C Ronaldo, Modric, Kroos, Carvajal, and finally Gareth Bale, who had just come on as a substitute, ended this series of dazzling passes. He used an overhead kick to score the ball into the goal of Manchester United!

"Real Madrid! A wonderful goal! This is the Real Madrid we are familiar with!"

"Gareth Bale! He scored! He helped the team equalize the score!"

"Manchester United were only happy for 3 minutes, and the powerful Real Madrid showed them their sharp fangs!"

"Gareth Bale! This is the real Great Sage. He came on as a substitute for 122 seconds and helped the team score and equalize the score!"

"This is Real Madrid! This is Real Madrid!!"

"Manchester United's second goal was wonderful, but it was a bit complicated, and it failed once in the middle. It was not until the second attack that it scored. Real Madrid's goal was done in one go. Everyone had a clear idea that they wanted to score... The difference was obvious!"

"This goal was so beautiful. The previous continuous passes were beautiful, and Bale's overhead kick was even more beautiful!"

...

Amid everyone's cheers, the players of Real Madrid hugged each other tightly, as if they had already won.
