Chapter 608 Reaching the Top of Europe Again

When Bruno passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, Mourinho's buttocks slightly lifted up, and his body leaned forward. Then when he saw Ibrahimovic pass the goalkeeper and hit the ball into the net, Mourinho jumped out of his seat, raised his arms, clenched his fists and cheered.

The Manchester United coaching bench and substitute bench around him were already boiling.

On the other side, seeing the ball lost, Zidane shook his arms vigorously, then scratched his bald head, covered his face with both hands, and rubbed his face.

"This goal is very exciting, reflecting the characteristics of Manchester United's counterattack, which is very sharp. Kante stole the ball, passed it to Gundogan, Gundogan passed it to Bruno, and Bruno broke through and assisted Ibrahimovic to score. Three passes between four players, the goal was completed!" He Wei said.

"The most crucial part of this goal was Bruno's quick breakthrough. No one expected that Bruno would still have such good physical strength and such a fast speed at this point in the game. This caught Real Madrid off guard. Marcelo couldn't keep up with Bruno's pace at all, and Real Madrid's defense was completely penetrated." Andy Gray said.

"Real Madrid lost the ball again. This is the fourth time they lost the ball today. Their defense was completely penetrated..." The commentator of the Spanish National Television said, "Sorry, what I want to say is, where is Real Madrid's defense? Zidane's team's defense was simply useless when facing Manchester United. In the European Super Cup at the beginning of the season, the Galacticos lost 4 goals; today their defense was once again beaten into a sieve by Manchester United."

"Throughout the season, no other team has been able to score 4 goals against Real Madrid, not even Barcelona, ​​but Manchester United did it twice. This Manchester United's offensive power is indeed extraordinary."

………………

The game resumed, and Real Madrid was behind in the score. They tried to launch a more fierce offensive. They had to do so because there was really not much time left for them!

However, facing Manchester United's tough defense, Real Madrid's offensive had little effect.

On the court, Modric frowned.

He also found the problem. The distance between Manchester United's back line and midfield was relatively close, which greatly shortened the space that Real Madrid could use.

Whether it was the team passing cooperation that Real Madrid was good at, or the personal skills of Asensio, Bale or Ronaldo, they were all curbed and difficult to play.

In particular, the area where Manchester United's penalty area line extended slightly outward was like a line drawn by Manchester United, which was difficult for Barcelona to cross.

Modric, the core organizer of Real Madrid, was also uncomfortable. He could only slowly maneuver outside that line, trying to find Manchester United's space and loopholes.

Kante came to interfere with Modric. The Croatian midfielder tried to get rid of his opponent twice in a row, but Kante kept pestering him. Modric could only helplessly pass the ball back to Casemiro.

………………

After entering the extra time, Mourinho rearranged the defensive tasks of Manchester United's midfield. Kante was responsible for Modric, and other players, such as Gundogan and Rashford, were ready to assist at any time.

As for Bruno, his main task has changed from marking Ronaldo to marking Bale.

In Mourinho's view, Modric is the midfield commander of Real Madrid, and Bale is the transmission line between Modric and Ronaldo.

Although Bale and Ronaldo do not have a good relationship, the two have the most frequent contact on the court in Real Madrid. In the five years of their partnership, Bale has provided Ronaldo with 32 assists in total, the most in the same period, even Benzema can't compare, not to mention Ronaldo's good friend Marcelo.

Try to limit Modric, pay attention to cutting off the connection between Bale and Ronaldo, or the connection between Modric and Ronaldo directly.

As for Ronaldo, after Benzema left the field, he became the center forward of Real Madrid. He will be taken care of by the entire back line of Manchester United. Some people will defend Ronaldo, some people will fill in the position, and others will be on guard to guard against other offensive players of Real Madrid.

Manchester United's entire defensive system can be said to have a very clear division of labor, and the players' execution is also very strong, so Modric is playing very hard now. It is difficult for him to comfortably deliver the football to where he should go.

Even if it is passed, it is difficult for Bale, Ronaldo, or others to get the ball comfortably.

………………

Real Madrid's world-famous passing cooperation has not disappeared, but in fact it is just passing back and forth outside the penalty area, and many of them are back passes. Forward passes are rare because it is difficult to deliver to the front.

Even if it is passed, Asensio, Bale or Ronaldo have no way to form a shot, and they still have to pass it back in the end, or be intercepted.

Therefore, although Real Madrid kept attacking in the last few minutes of the game, there were few truly effective and threatening attacks. In many cases, they could only end an attack with a long shot.

This is really a helpless thing.

"What we saw was that Manchester United used active fighting and unremitting running, interception, and filling positions to cut Real Madrid's attack into pieces. We did not see Real Madrid's smooth attack in the past today." He Wei said.

"What does this mean? It means Mourinho's tactics are successful. He has studied Real Madrid very carefully and deeply. Manchester United really has a set of methods to defend Real Madrid, Modric, Bale, and Ronaldo." Zhang Lu said.

"Real Madrid's substitution quota has been used up. Now Zidane and his soldiers can only make adjustments among the players on the field. I hope Zidane can find a way as soon as possible, otherwise they will really lose the game today!"

………………

Until the referee Mazic blew the three whistles to end the game, Zidane was unable to make any effective adjustments.

The Kiev Olympic Stadium was temporarily quiet, and then suddenly broke out, and all the sounds were intertwined.

"Dear audience, you have witnessed the birth of a miracle just like me! Yes! Manchester United scored a goal in extra time, defeated Real Madrid and won the UEFA Champions League trophy!!"

"They are the champions! This Premier League giant has won the Champions League again after a lapse of ten years!!"

"I can't believe it..."

The commentators shouted, using all their strength, because otherwise their voices would probably be drowned out.

The Manchester United fans in the stands jumped up from their seats, and when they fell down, the sturdy stadium shook.

The moment before Mazic blew the whistle to end the game, the football was right at Bruno's feet. After he kicked the ball out of the field with a big foot, he began his celebration, and he ran towards his teammates who were already running towards him with his arms open.

Manchester United's substitutes and coaches also rushed up and joined in the celebration.

In the stands, all Manchester United fans were hugging each other passionately, and almost everyone was in tears.

An old fan with white hair and tears on his face shouted at the camera screen: "This is the power of the Red Devils! This is the power of the Red Devils! We are the champions! We are the champions! We are the champions--!!"

The camera lens moved away, and he was still roaring there.

………………

When Bruno kicked the football out of the field, all the Real Madrid players could not accept such a reality: the powerful Real Madrid actually lost to Manchester United with ten players?

Bruno and his teammates hugged each other tightly and celebrated the victory wantonly. The players of Real Madrid were stunned, and some even shed sad tears.

The dream of three consecutive Champions League titles was shattered.

"It seems that Zidane's Real Madrid dynasty has ended today!" The British commentator said with a little sarcasm when he saw the Real Madrid players on the screen.

Zidane was comforting his players on the field.

The defeat in this final was definitely a heavy blow to him and his team. The Galaxy Battleship will encounter a season with nothing in the four major championships.

But he was not discouraged, because Real Madrid is still the strongest team on the planet. Manchester United's Champions League title only means that they are very lucky this season and very strong, but it does not mean that they will always be like this, but Real Madrid can always be like this.

We failed in the final this year, and we will come back next year!

This is the foundation, strength and confidence of the king of the Champions League.

Zidane patted the players on the shoulders and said to them: "Don't be discouraged, this is just an accident, we will come again next year!"

………………

On the Manchester United side, Mourinho had long been surrounded by his own players and then abandoned.

He led the team for two years and created one miracle after another.

If it weren't for him, there would be no Manchester United today. Whether it is the team owner Jassim or Bruno, the credit is not as great as his.

If Jassim had not invited Mourinho, then his team might have to sink again in the Premier League for a few seasons, and naturally there would not be a series of brilliance of Manchester United in the past two years. So he deserves to enjoy such courtesy.

Prince Jasim stood up in the VIP box, raised his hands, and hugged the people around him.

The Olympic Stadium in Kiev has become a sea of ​​joy.

Of course, for Manchester United fans.

Manchester United fans in the stands sang and cheered while crying.

Apart from doing this, they didn't know what else to do.
