Chapter 841 This Is the Red Devil!

On the evening of April 7th, Old Trafford, Manchester.

Manchester United hosts Real Madrid in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Just three minutes into the game, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack. Giggs sent the ball to the left, trying to play the space behind Marcelo. Nani quickly inserted and was about to receive the ball. After chasing back, he fell to the ground on the left side of the penalty area and shoveled the ball first. With a clean tackle, he shoveled the ball out of bounds.

This time the tackle was done beautifully, allowing Vermaelen to win the applause of the Real Madrid players.

Unexpectedly, Rafael threw the ball out of bounds, and Nani used his speed to forcibly throw off Real Madrid's defense and pick a pass into the penalty area.

Rooney missed the ball near the penalty spot, but Cristiano Ronaldo sprinted in from behind, jumped high and headed home, smashing the ball into the goal guarded by Casillas, 1-0 !

Manchester United's opening attack worked!

The whole Old Trafford stadium began to boil!

...

Just four minutes later, there was another counterattack from Manchester United's frontcourt. Giggs passed the ball to Rooney, who passed the ball to the right.

This time, Vermaelen failed to repeat his previous excellent performance. Although he was closely behind Nani, he still failed to prevent the opponent from crossing to the back point. Cristiano Ronaldo followed up and pushed the shot easily Hit, to tie the score to two to zero!

The total score is three to three!

Manchester United had an away goal, Real Madrid was reversed!

...

"Oh, God!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo is God at Old Trafford tonight!"

"This is unbelievable. After the start of the game, Manchester United completely overwhelmed Real Madrid's defense in just seven minutes. The total score was 3 to 3. Manchester United reversed Real Madrid with an away goal!"

"It's unbelievable!"

"We saw that Ferguson was very excited on the sidelines. This is definitely an epic comeback."

"After Real Madrid started, they were directly stunned by their opponents."

"A tactical coordination of a throw-in and a counterattack penetrated the left flank. Both positions are Real Madrid's long-standing weaknesses."

"This is indeed very surprising, because before the game, everyone thought that Real Madrid's advancement was a certainty, but who would have thought that the iron-blooded Manchester United just completed a reversal in just seven minutes at home."

"Can't believe it, but this is football!"

...

The whole Old Trafford stadium fell into a carnival!

All the Manchester United fans were shouting Ronaldinho's name hoarsely, while the Portuguese was crazily galloping around the stadium, venting his inner excitement and excitement, and at the same time enjoying the treatment of a king.

Scored twice!

He is only one goal away from Yang Yang's Champions League goal, and as long as Real Madrid is eliminated tonight, it will be just around the corner for him to surpass Yang Yang.

Even as long as he can lead Manchester United to the top of the Champions League this season and lead Portugal to perform in the World Cup, he believes that this year's World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or will be in his pocket.

This made him feel uncontrollable ecstasy, and he could only vent his inner emotions by running and cheering non-stop.

...

The same goes for Manchester United players.

On the court, each of them was celebrating wildly.

When they lost 1 to 3 away to Real Madrid, they were almost desperate, but Ferguson brought them hope again.

The opening tactics of this game were carefully arranged by Ferguson. From the opening to the counterattack to how to cooperate with the set ball, everything was arranged by Ferguson and the coaching staff.

Even how to fight back was taught by Ferguson himself.

And Cristiano Ronaldo, he was so excited tonight, so good.

Two shots and two hits, such stability is really unbelievable.

After leading by two goals, all Manchester United players began to realize that as long as the team continues to maintain this momentum and maintain the current lead, they will definitely be able to reverse Real Madrid at home and advance to the semi-finals.

And one ebb and flow, Manchester United's morale soared, but Real Madrid suffered a series of setbacks.

…………

…………

Yang Yang felt very strange.

As the team's main attacker in the frontcourt, he doesn't know what's wrong with the team's defense. How could he be blasted twice by his opponent in a short period of time?

Is the speed of this conceding the ball too fast?

However, the score displayed on the scoreboard is an iron fact and cannot be changed.

...

After losing one to two at home to Chelsea, Manchester United made appropriate adjustments in this game.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic and Rafael in the defense, Carrick and Fletcher in the midfield, Ryan Giggs in the middle, and the trident in the frontcourt. Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Nani.

Captain Gary Neville didn't even make the squad in this game. Ferguson said at the press conference before the game that this is the need for the team's rotation. Gary Neville is 35 years old and has played two games in a row. hard fight.

"I believe that Rafael will be a very suitable right-back candidate for the team. His speed and flexibility can help the team better freeze Real Madrid's left-sided offense."

Giggs was very eye-catching in the game against Chelsea. After playing Chelsea, he was regarded as a key factor for Manchester United to reverse Real Madrid at home. In fact, Ferguson also arranged him to play in this game.

There is basically no change in the front trident, but Rooney played with an injury, which shows the resilience of the Manchester United star.

Real Madrid's starting lineup was also rotated in the weekend league, and Benitez still ranked his strongest combination in this game.

Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, the defense is Marcelo, Vermaelen, Ramos and Arbeloa, and the midfielder is the double midfielder combination of Mascherano and Harvey Alonso. Ned is in the middle, and the frontcourt is the trident of Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben. This is also Real Madrid's strongest lineup this season.

But who would have thought that Real Madrid would concede two goals in the first seven minutes of the away game?

...

At this moment, Yang Yang suddenly remembered a match, that was last season's UEFA Champions League match between Liverpool and Chelsea at home. In that match, Liverpool lost consecutive corner kicks and Ivanovic became famous in the first battle.

At that time, countless media and fans were questioning Benitez's zone-marking defense system, but later, Liverpool reversed Chelsea in an away game, completely dispelling everyone's doubts.

Real Madrid have also been questioned in the first half of this season, especially on set kicks, and this situation seems to have improved in the second half, but it seems to have repeated in recent games.

He also conceded two goals when he played Atletico Madrid, and now he conceded two goals in a row against Manchester United. The only difference is that Manchester United's ability to grasp scoring opportunities is obviously higher than that of Atletico Madrid.

what to do?

...

Yang Yang's confusion also reflects the loss of the Real Madrid team.

Does anyone know what to do?

Everyone knew to be steady, but Manchester United came aggressively. After the opening, they pressed very fiercely, and used the home court advantage to play an unbelievably crazy attack all at once.

This is the Red Devils! This is Ferguson!

The cunning Scottish old man is always able to create accidents abruptly through his unique understanding of football techniques and tactics when everyone least expects it.

Real Madrid had no other choice but to choose to retreat.

Benitez adjusted decisively, and the whole team immediately shrunk their defense, stabilized their position first, and then slowly tried to counterattack.

In the face of the wolf-like Manchester United, even as strong as Real Madrid, they have to avoid the edge for the time being. It is conceivable how amazing Manchester United is when they play at home, as if they are on drugs.

And no one could have imagined that Manchester United's frantic offensive lasted for more than 20 minutes. In the first 20 minutes, Manchester United's ball possession rate was as high as 61%. Like kicking crazy, he kept attacking Real Madrid's defensive formation.

However, Real Madrid's first shot of this game appeared in the 26th minute. It was a quick counterattack. Yang Yang dribbled the ball to the left side of Manchester United's penalty area and crossed it to the middle. Sneijder suddenly inserted a long shot and hit it on the Fletcher failed to create a threat.

But soon, Manchester United played another attack and got a corner kick. Vidic grabbed the spot in the penalty area, slightly higher.

Set-piece defense, it's like Real Madrid, oh no, it's Benitez's Achilles' heel.

From Liverpool to Real Madrid, he has never been able to effectively fill this weakness.

Facing the wolf-like Manchester United, Real Madrid have no good plan from top to bottom.

Everyone knows to counterattack, counterattack, and strive for goals, but they just can't find an effective way.

The midfielder was suppressed by the opponent, and the attackers in the frontcourt could not get the support from the midfielder and the backcourt. This made the Real Madrid players feel helpless on the field for a while. They could only stabilize the defense first, and then slowly wait for the opportunity.

Drag, this is not the way to go.

Everyone, including Yang Yang, is very clear that it is impossible for Manchester United to maintain this high-intensity pressing and oppression for a long time. They must slow down and take a breather.

The crazier they are now, the greater the physical exertion, and the higher the possibility of problems in the end.

You know, when the Premier League teams arrive in March and April, their physical fitness will not have an advantage. Manchester United obviously understands their own problems by adopting this style of play, so they want to start to decide whether to win or lose.

On the sidelines, Benitez also quickly realized the problem, and immediately directed the team to deploy defenses, trying to stabilize their position as soon as possible.

As long as Real Madrid can hold on, when Manchester United's physical fitness can't catch up, it's time for Real Madrid to exert its strength.

In the 32nd minute, Real Madrid fought back again.

Yang Yang dribbled the ball in and fouled after being entangled by Manchester United teenager Rafael. The Brazilian right back got a yellow card, but Real Madrid got a frontcourt free kick on the side which is difficult to create a threat, and failed to pose a threat.

The situation is still under the suppression of Manchester United. Real Madrid is resisting the aggressiveness from Manchester United, waiting for the opportunity that does not know whether it will appear.

Frustrated by the opportunity and lost the start, Real Madrid can only adopt such on-the-spot tactics against the enemy.
