Zhang Yuan and the others were standing in the players' tunnel, and the radio in the stadium outside was broadcasting Real Madrid's starting staff. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Goalkeeper: Casillas

Defender: Arbeloa, Carvalho, Pepe Marcelo

Midfielder: Khedira Alonso

Striker: Mesut Ozil

Forward: Zhang Yuan, Higuain, Ronaldo

The original right-back was Ramos, but he was injured in pre-match training, and Arbeloa replaced him, but fortunately, the central defender Pepe returned from injury, otherwise it is unknown how Mourinho will respond.

Khedira is on the right side of the midfield, Alonso is on the left side of the midfield, Zhang Yuan is on the right wing, Ronaldo is on the left wing, and the center forward is Higuain, and almost all the midfielders on the bench are all midfielders, except for one Mateos.

Accompanied by the theme song of the Champions League, players from both sides entered, Zhang Yuan on the 14th walked behind Ozil in front of Khedira, listening to this wonderful theme song, Zhang Yuan had a feeling that Lao Tzu Hu Hansan was back again, this is his real stage.

Far away in Gelsenkirchen, Hoffmann and Joseph sat in front of the TV to watch the game, the day before Schalke 04 returned home at the home of Lyon, although the father and son were more or less dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan's departure, but they were still Zhang Yuan's friends.

Joseph received Zhang Yuan's treasured jersey and finally forgave the omnipotent big brother, but he never said thank you to Zhang Yuan.

A few years have passed, Joseph is also a little adult, and he will not naively ask his father how many goals Zhang Yuan will score as before, but discuss the two teams with his father quite seriously.

Zhang Yuan's brother-in-law Li Jun, Gu Lin and other high school classmates, as well as our young master Qian, are also paying attention to this game, and everyone is looking forward to Zhang Yuan's good performance and a firm foothold in Real Madrid.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yuan told himself that today was a good time to hunt, and he wanted to unsheath his sword and help Real Madrid get the three points they deserved.

After the theme song was played, the players on both sides shook hands, the captain guessed the coin and chose the side, and the whole process ended, and the game officially kicked off.

La Liga is not a conservative league, and neither is the Eredivisie, Ajax are not conservative just because they look inferior to others, and their manager, Martin Joel, is not a conservative one.

Neither Tottenham nor Hamburg managed by Martin Joel are conservative teams, and neither is Ajax.

So after the opening, the two sides directly opened the knife, Real Madrid kicked off first, Ajax pressed very high, Martin Joel adopted the tactics of pressing in the front, Ajax and Barcelona actually have a common godfather figure--- Cruyff, so there are similarities in the style of play.

Passing is their greatest characteristic, and Martin Joel is not confident that his team will take the initiative at the Bernabeu, he just wants to be able to take the initiative at a certain time, such as the opening stages of the second half.

So as soon as Real Madrid kicked off, Ronaldo passed the ball to the backfield, and the Ajax players pounced viciously like madmen, but Real Madrid was not afraid of their pressing at all, but poured the ball in the backfield, trying to control the rhythm.

Ajax's frontcourt Suleimani, Hamdawi and other players still did not give up, and Ajax's entire formation was leaning up.

Zhang Yuan moved directly to the back line on the right side, and he always kept in mind Mourinho's arrangement, and moved around the opponent's back line in a state of absence from the ball, looking for opportunities.

Cristiano Ronaldo is in a different state, he sees that the opponent is pressing fiercely, he goes directly to the middle line to pick up, hoping to give his teammates a little more response, he is as confident in his passing.

Because of Ronaldo's retreat, the opponent also had to inject more attention into him, Khedira took the ball and crossed to Alonso on the left, De Jong forced up, Alonso held the ball and turned around to shake the menacing De Jong, he took a small step forward, and suddenly made a long pass.

This is the strength of Alonso, the moment he turned around, he saw Zhang Yuan was near the opponent's backline, he immediately changed what he thought in his mind into a foot action, a small force, Alonso sent a long pass of more than 40 meters, and the amount of advance can be described as very appropriate.

Zhang Yuan started the moment Alonso passed, and Ajax paid the price for their unconservative opening, the opponent on the one hand was not concentrated on the backline, and Zhang Yuan's marking was not close enough, on the other hand, even if it was close, Ajax's defenders were not destined to start as fast as Zhang Yuan.

Alonso obviously had a clear understanding of Zhang Yuan's speed in his usual training, Zhang Yuan got up and chased after a few steps to catch up with the ball, and at this time Ajax's goalkeeper Stekelenburg reluctantly chose to attack.

This situation was too sudden, the players in the back line couldn't catch up with Zhang Yuan at all, and it was natural for Stekelenburg to attack, of course, in this case, Zhang Yuan would not waste the opportunity, he was in the penalty area, with a light shot with his right foot, the ball flew over Stekelenburg's head and into the net.

Ajax's centre-back ร˜yer also made a flying tackle, but unfortunately he didn't even get a tackle.

Zhang Yuan stared at the ball into the net, he opened his arms and shouted "ah", ran to a super long-distance sliding kneeling on the sidelines, opened his hands, and accepted the cheers of the fans.

"Oh my God, Zhang Yuan took the lead for Real Madrid in just one minute of the opening game!

"Ajax pressed too fiercely in the front court in the first minute of the opening minute, and pressed a little closer to the back, giving Alonso space for a long pass, and also giving Zhang Yuan space to receive the ball, Stekelenburg is really powerless about this ball!" said Zhang.

"Coach Martin Joel was the head coach of Hamburg last season, so it stands to reason that he still knows Zhang Yuan very well, but today it seems that Ajax is not closely guarding Zhang Yuan!" said He Wei.

"Hehe, Real Madrid's team has too much defense in the frontcourt, and can only use zone defense tactics, Ajax mainly wants to establish a good defensive system in limiting the opponent and cut off Real Madrid's ball line!"

Anna and other members of the wives cheered in the stands, and she high-fived Khedira and Ozil's girlfriends.

The Real Madrid players threw Zhang Yuan to the ground, and made a dream start in the opening minute, Mourinho's ass was not moved to the sidelines, and the chair of the coach's seat was not hot, he got up from the chair excitedly and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.

He is also aggrieved enough, and he is under a lot of pressure, and of course the position under his ass is under great pressure all the time.

A one-goal lead means that Real Madrid will be easier to play, the group stage is not a knockout stage, each team has to pay more attention to grabbing points, away goals, goal difference are useless in front of the three points.

Even if Ajax are holding on to the formation and don't plan to concede goals, they will definitely attack in the second half, and the counter-attacking is Mourinho's specialty, and he is confident that Real Madrid will deal a heavier blow to Ajax.

"Thanks!" Zhang Yuan hugged Xavi Alonso tightly on the way back to the pitch, and half of the credit for his goal went to Alonso's head.

"Damn, you so beautifully, I knew you could do it!" Alonso said, thumping Zhang Yuan's chest.

On the way back to the half, Zhang Yuan did not forget to make a heart-shaped celebration in the direction of Anna to show his love.

Martin Joel looked annoyed, his plan was ruined, and it didn't look like it would be so easy to get away with the Santiago Bernabeu that day, but as Mourinho thought, a one-goal advantage was not enough for Martin Joel to plan to attack so early, instead he intended to stabilize his position first.

So after the restart, Martin Jol gave up the ferocious pressing in front of the court, and instead allowed Real Madrid to pass freely, and Ajax concentrated the space for tackles and interceptions mainly between the outside of the big penalty area and the center circle.

Compared with Ajax's midfield, Real Madrid's midfielder is obviously superior in passing and control skills, and Ajax's interception does not have the desired effect, and Enault, as a single midfielder, feels that the defense cannot keep up at all.

Martin Jol's formation is 442 diamond-shaped positions, the defensive ability of a single back is strong, and the coverage area is large, and in the Eredivisie, a single back may be able to adapt to the requirements, but a single back for Real Madrid is not good. (To be continued.) )
