Chapter 606 Overtime

Just when Bruno shot the football into the Real Madrid goal, the Internet also exploded.

Manchester United fans, even some neutral fans, vented their emotions.

"Hahaha! Long live Bruno!"

"It's so awesome! It's so awesome!"

"Bruno is awesome!"

"It's so exciting! My heart can't stand it!"

"Although I'm not a Manchester United fan, I still cried when Bruno scored!"

"I declare that from today onwards I am a Bruno fan!"

"Manchester United deserves to be the Red Devils. It's so damn magical!"

"Oh oh oh! Come on Bruno! Oh oh oh! Come on Bruno!"

…

………………

Manchester United's celebration took so long that the referee intervened.

This is not because they are grateful to have escaped death and are celebrating desperately. This was at Bruno's request. Everyone tried to use the goal celebration to delay the time and recover their physical strength at the same time.

After all, Manchester United has one less player than Real Madrid, and they need to run longer distances on the field than Real Madrid players, which consumes a lot of physical energy.

There are still thirty minutes of overtime. If they collapse in the overtime due to physical problems, then their desperate efforts to equalize the score will be meaningless.

Under the interference of the referee, Manchester United ended their celebration and then slowly walked back to their own half. They were seizing every moment to rest.

But they actually overthought it. Real Madrid had not yet recovered from the blow of conceding the ball at this time. Even if the game restarted, their offense seemed rough and impatient, and their success rate was very low.

It's quite normal when you think about it. The game reached the 88th minute, and they were about to win the championship. However, they didn't expect that their opponent with one less player used a quick counterattack to equalize the score. No matter who they replaced, they might not be able to win. Accept this result all at once.

Since Zidane took over Real Madrid's coaching position, Real Madrid has been going smoothly in the past two and a half seasons, and there are rarely times when they are in danger during the game. Being so accustomed to smooth sailing makes them a little slow to react to sudden unexpected situations.

Until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the ninety-minute game, they were unable to make an effective counterattack. They all still had confused looks on their faces.

On the contrary, Manchester United's players were very motivated. Although they were very tired, their high fighting spirit stimulated them and made them not feel tired at all.

………………

"The ninety-minute game is over! This final, which was considered to be a no-brainer before the game, was dragged into overtime!"

"Who said before the game that the only suspense in this game is how many goals Real Madrid can win? Manchester United gave them a hard slap in the face!"

"Bruno was Manchester United's best player in this game! His goal allowed the team to draw with Real Madrid before the end of the game!"

"In the Premier League, Bruno has many titles such as 'Man City's nemesis', 'Arsenal's nemesis', and 'Liverpool's nemesis'. In fact, he can also be called 'Real Mark'. Just like what he said before the game, facing Real Madrid, he never lost."

…

Everyone is praising Manchester United's tenacity and Bruno's performance.

Only the Spanish commentator was encouraging his team: "There's nothing to worry about. After all, Manchester United has one less player than Real Madrid, and they played at a very fast pace throughout the game, which is a threat to their physical fitness. It's a huge test. I don't believe they can maintain their energy and run fast under such circumstances. So as long as we take advantage of it, it's a chance to beat Manchester United. It doesn't take much! Just one ball is enough!”

………………

In this case, Zidane is also repeating it to his players.

Before overtime, both sides had a five-minute break. Because the time was short, no one went back to the locker room. Instead, they sat in a group on the edge of the court and listened to the head coach's strategy for overtime.

At the same time, the team's physical therapists will also take time to give massages to tired players to help them restore their physical strength and energy.

Zidane encouraged the Real Madrid players in the crowd: "Their physical strength is definitely not enough to sustain the thirty minutes of overtime. We must firmly control the football at our feet, mobilize them back and forth, and make them exhausted and exhausted." Their physical ability, and then waiting for their defense to show a flaw..."

On the other side, Mourinho was also encouraging his players: "Is Real Madrid very powerful? Very powerful! But we can also make them so embarrassed! We can drag them into overtime, so we are even more powerful! I I know you are all tired, so we don’t blindly pursue speed in overtime. In the first half of overtime, we conserve our strength. No matter how Real Madrid tries to kick us outside, ignore them. We shrink our defense and defend these ten minutes. Five minutes, wait for the opportunity to counterattack in the second half!”

………………

Five minutes passed quickly. The players got up from the ground and prepared to enter a new battle.

It can be seen that everyone is very tired, whether it is the players of Manchester United or Real Madrid.

After all, after playing a high-intensity game for ninety minutes, with fierce confrontation and rapid rhythm changes, anyone who is not tired is a monster.

Bruno is such a monster. He may be the player with the best physical condition after the goalkeepers on both sides.

The team's physical therapist originally wanted to come up and massage his legs, but he refused and asked him to massage those teammates who needed help the most.

Many people are surprised that Bruno has such strong physical fitness, but fans of Manchester United and even Udinese are accustomed to this.

Normally, he just runs to training, runs to competitions, and runs back.

After he played a ninety-minute game and still had energy to run back, it became clear how good his physical fitness was.

As soon as overtime started, Zidane used the third substitution. He replaced Benzema with Asensio, and his intention to strengthen the offense was obvious.

Zidane does not want to have a penalty shootout with Manchester United. For Real Madrid, which has such a strong strength, being dragged into a penalty shootout is simply a shame, and this will greatly affect the mentality of Real Madrid players. A penalty shootout is The most important thing is mentality.

………………

In the first half of overtime, Manchester United completely retreated to the 30-meter area and almost did not counterattack. The counterattack only kicked the football forward. Then Ibrahimovic controlled the football and Bruno rushed forward. support.

If the timing is bad, Bruno will ignore Ibrahimovic, not go up at all, and let Ibrahimovic lose the ball.

Facing Manchester United's iron barrel formation, Real Madrid had nothing to do.

"Manchester United is so passive and conservative! This is simply a step backwards for football!" the Spanish commentator said angrily, "Even if Manchester United finally wins this game, what's the point of winning like this?! Fans come to the scene When you watch football, you don’t want to be dumbfounded!”

Of course he was going to say something, because whoever presses out to attack Real Madrid in this situation will be the biggest enemy in the world.

As a supporter of Real Madrid, he always hopes that Real Madrid's opponents are all oversized enemies, so that Real Madrid can win one championship after another without any blood and create a dynasty that will last for generations.

However, as long as a sane person is in the right mind, it is impossible for the Spanish commentator to do what the Spanish commentator wishes under the current circumstances.

Victory is victory, and a championship is a championship. No matter how it is won, it will not detract from the final result, especially what is related to it is the pearl of the club's glory: the Champions League champion!

Manchester United fans are not the weird Real Madrid fans who will morbidly demand that the team not only win, but also win beautifully.

………………

When Manchester United cowered on defense, the Real Madrid fans booed in the stands, but their boos did not sound impressive at all, because they were actually die-hard Real Madrid fans who were willing to attack their opponents desperately in the stands. Only a few thousand people.

More than half of the tickets were distributed by Real Madrid to their sponsors, commercial partners and celebrity guests. The boos from these thousands of people were quickly drowned out by the songs of nearly 30,000 Manchester United fans.

All Manchester United fans stood up from their seats, waved their arms and sang: "Glory glory man united! Glory glory man united! Glory glory man united! As the reds go marching on on on..."

The roar of the Red Devils fans shook the entire stadium and resounded through the sky.

After hearing such singing, He Wei sighed: "No wonder Old Trafford Stadium is called the Theater of Dreams by many people...With such a group of fans, Manchester United can really defeat all strong enemies at their home court..."

………………

Facing Manchester United, which is unable to defend, Real Madrid has no good solution, whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, Asensio who has just debuted, or even Modric, Kroos and Cardano in the midfield and backfield. Although Semiro and others made many shooting attempts, they were unable to do anything in the face of the flesh-and-blood wall built by the United players in front of their own goal.

Fifteen minutes passed in a flash, and when the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was still 3:3.

Players from both sides did not leave the field, but directly switched places to start the second half of the game.

After fifteen minutes of furious attack, Real Madrid failed to win the game. This must be a blow to the morale of the Real Madrid players.

Many Real Madrid players looked very confused. They didn't understand why they had all the advantages on the field and were attacking like waves, but they couldn't score another goal.

Although the Manchester United players worked very hard, the result satisfied everyone. Their faces were even sickly rosy and full of energy.
