Chapter 604: Proud Real Madrid

Real Madrid did pass the ball back and forth in the backcourt. Although they were leading and had one more player than Manchester United, they still did not choose to take risks and attack with less than five minutes left in the game. They did not play an attack that would please the fans. Most of the time, they just passed the ball back and forth in the middle and backcourt. After finally getting to the front, once the opponent showed a little toughness in defense, they quickly retracted like frightened tentacles.

It seems that their approach is somewhat inconsistent with the style of a proud and wealthy team, but when faced with the temptation of the Champions League title, they would rather give up their dignity and ensure victory.

They were unwilling to bury the victory that was about to be won at the last moment of the game!

This also shows that they really treated Manchester United as a very, very dangerous opponent of the same level.

After all, if their opponent in this game was Barcelona or Bayern Munich, and the score was 3:2, they would definitely do the same.

Real Madrid passed the ball back and forth in the backcourt for a while. Rashford, Harry Kane and Ibrahimovic were pressing, but what role could the three of them play? In addition, Rashford and Harry Kane's physical strength has been exhausted and they can hardly run; although Ibrahimovic has just appeared on the field, he is about to turn 37 years old and has reached the end of his professional player's sports life. His athletic ability is no longer as good as before.

Real Madrid is facing these Manchester United players passing the ball back and forth, just like they are playing monkeys in training.

………………

The neutral fans and Manchester United fans in the stands are not happy. It is natural for Manchester United fans to not allow such a situation. Even those neutral fans, most of them came to watch this final for the title of the head-on confrontation between Real Madrid and Manchester United, the two top giants, not to see Real Madrid being so unprogressive in the game.

On the contrary, Manchester United, a weak team that led Real Madrid twice in the game until they were sent off, got more support from them.

These neutral fans who had been cheering and applauding for the wonderful performance of Real Madrid stars in previous games now applauded every Manchester United player who was still running, and at the same time "dedicated" their boos to the Real Madrid players who kept passing the ball.

The boos actually started from some neutral fans. They couldn't accept Real Madrid's shameless delay of the game time. They expressed their dissatisfaction with boos, middle fingers and swear words.

Soon their emotions spread to others, and with them as the center, the boos rippled in the stands.

Later, many Manchester United fans joined in, and even some Real Madrid fans were somewhat dissatisfied with the team's performance.

………………

Speaking of which, Real Madrid fans can be called the most bizarre fans in the world.

Fans of other teams rarely boo their own team, unless the team loses ugly and makes the fans see no hope, then it is rare for players to be booed by their own fans.

But as a Real Madrid player, when the team wins, it is also very likely to be booed by fans.

The fans of the world's top football club demand that Real Madrid not only win, but also win well, otherwise they will be booed and served with white handkerchiefs!

Moreover, Real Madrid fans boo their own players regardless of the target. Even Cristiano Ronaldo, the star player of the Galaxy Battleship, has been booed by the picky Real Madrid fans.

For example, in the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat trick at the Bernabeu Stadium, helping the Galaxy Battleship eliminate Bayern Munich with a total score of 6:3.

Logically speaking, such a performance is simply too good to be true, and the players will definitely win a full house of applause, but Cristiano Ronaldo was booed by his own fans at the Bernabeu Stadium because his performance in this game was not good from beginning to end.

Such things sound unbelievable, but they really happened.

Now, Real Madrid is playing timidly with one more player and the team leading the score, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of some proud Real Madrid fans, and they joined the camp of booing Real Madrid.

Whenever Real Madrid players got the ball, the boos would suddenly increase.

………………

Real Madrid players also noticed that it was not just Manchester United fans or neutral fans who booed them, but also some Real Madrid fans.

Being booed by opponents is nothing, and it can even be regarded as a reward; being booed by neutral fans is also acceptable, because they are not our own people anyway, so there is no need to care about their attitude; but being booed by our own fans, and when we are about to win the game, this is unbearable.

Real Madrid players also had hesitant thoughts in such boos: We are Real Madrid! What reason do we have to worry so much about a team that is one man less than us and one goal behind?

And leading by one goal is the least safe!

Only by scoring another goal before the end of the game can we completely defeat them and make this game lose suspense.

If you want to be safe, isn’t scoring the best way?

So, we have to attack!

Ramos handed the ball to Casemiro and shouted at him: "Forward! Forward! Don't pass it back!"

The proud Real Madrid players finally couldn't bear the boos and contempt. They wanted to prove with practical actions that they were still the noble giants, and they still represented the most beautiful, pure and admirable football in the world!

………………

Casemiro made a fake move to pass back, then suddenly knocked the ball and turned around, passing Harry Kane, and then he dribbled forward.

Bruno came up.

Looking at the opponent in front of him, Casemiro had to admit that he didn't beat him in the game, but fortunately his team beat his team.

He was not stupid enough to let the opponent rush over to intercept his ball. After nearly 90 minutes of competition, he already knew how good Bruno was in one-on-one defense.

Except for the beginning of the game, after Ronaldo beat him several times, Ronaldo has not successfully passed him in one-on-one. Casemiro knew that he didn't have the Chinese skills as good as Ronaldo, so he didn't waste time here.

And the most important thing is that Real Madrid needs to score now, not to get back to Bruno. As a midfielder with a strong overall view, he knows clearly what is more important.

He passed the ball directly to Modric in front.

Bruno in front of him turned around and chased after the ball.

The Brazilian shook his head. What a fool. No matter how fast you run, can you run faster than the ball? When you finally catch up with Modric, he only needs to pass the ball to the next teammate. All your efforts before will be in vain, and you will become a joke, like a monkey played by us... Is there any sense in doing this?

………………

Modric turned around to receive the ball, and he saw Bruno. He also knew that this was a dangerous person, especially at this time he still maintained sufficient physical strength, rushed forward and immediately turned back, without any pause, which shows how excellent his physical fitness is.

Such a dangerous person, of course, should be kept away as far as possible.

Modric didn't plan to wait for Bruno to rush over and tangle with him. He immediately passed the ball to Kroos. Then he ran forward and waited for Kroos to pass the ball again.

But Kroos didn't pass the ball because he was entangled!

Kante gritted his teeth, holding Kroos's jersey in his hand, and his body was attached to Kroos at a somewhat weird angle, so he really didn't have time to pass the ball immediately.

But it was a bit difficult for him to steal the ball. Kante's body was not his advantage, and Kroos was not a vegetarian. His ball control skills were quite good.

Bruno knew that Kante couldn't entangle Kroos for long. He was returning to defense and suddenly accelerated and changed direction, rushing towards Kroos from behind.

Modric turned his head to pay attention to Bruno. Now Bruno was the most threatening player in Manchester United. But he didn't see Bruno from this side, so he turned his head and saw Bruno rushing towards Kroos from the other side of him.

"Tony!!" Modric shouted, reminding Kroos to pay attention to Bruno.

Kroos heard Modric's call, and he quickly turned his head to look for Bruno. This made him ignore dealing with Kante beside him.

Kante took advantage of his distraction to find Bruno, and suddenly kicked the ball out from under his feet!

Steal the ball!

………………

Kroos reacted the moment he lost the ball. He suddenly blocked Kante, preventing the Frenchman from receiving the ball, and prepared to regain control of the ball.

Of course, the German midfielder still did not forget to glance at Bruno with the corner of his eyes to see where the dangerous Portuguese was.

He was so concerned about Bruno that he completely ignored the other Manchester United players around him.

After Kante poked the ball out, the central defender Van Dijk who had been behind him suddenly moved forward and poked the ball forward again before Kroos regained control of the ball, and the ball completely disappeared from the range that Kroos could control.

Van Dijk certainly did not rush to clear the ball in panic. He noticed Bruno before he took action, and this poking just passed the ball to Bruno!

Bruno turned around, received the ball from Van Dijk, and then dribbled forward.

The opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time to steal the ball and counterattack finally came!

If he didn't seize this opportunity, he deserved not to win the Champions League. He failed the expectations of his teammates and fans!
