281 Red Lightning!
Madrid, the temple of football.
Santiago - Bernabéu.
Nearly 80,000 fans entered the stadium to watch the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals!
The round of 16 should not have had such a high level of attention, but UEFA's draw made the two giants meet to stage the battle of the century!
The starters of both teams stood on the pitch and lined up for the kick-off ceremony, the camera was shown to each player, followed by a pre-match handshake between the two teams, followed by a group photo of the two teams before the game.
"Good evening, friends and spectators, the Champions League knockout round is back in flames after three months!
Today, we are at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, to provide you with a live commentary on the first leg of the quarter-final between Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Both teams are world-class clubs, with an equal number of fans worldwide and definitely top traffic.
Therefore, these two rounds of the event are bound to attract world-class attention!
Real Madrid's performances have been a bit stumbling this season, Jose Mourinho's third year in charge of Real Madrid has suffered a crisis of confidence, chaos from the dressing room is dividing Real Madrid, and there may be more hidden contradictions behind Casillas's abandonment.
Manchester United have been a long-term stabiliser under Alex Ferguson, but the only thing that has plagued them is their athletic flaws.
If you look at the defensive statistics of the teams participating in the last 16 of the Champions League, then Manchester United is the team with the worst defense!
In the last two years of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand's age-related injuries, United's defence has never been reassuring, especially as they have struggled with injuries after a highlight-reel season at Hargreaves, and since then they have not had a decent defensive midfielder to support their midfield.
Facing Real Madrid, who are attacking with good firepower today, can Manchester United get out of the Bernabeu?
Real Madrid started 433.
Goalkeeper: Diego López.
Defenders: Arbeloa, Ramos, Varane, Coentrão.
Midfielders: Khedira, 272, Alonso.
Forwards: Di Maria, Benzema, Ronaldo.
Manchester United's starting XI was also 433.
Goalkeeper: David De Gea.
Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.
Midfielders: Phil Jones, Shinji Kagawa, Carrick.
Forwards: Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Tang Hong.
Both teams have come up with the strongest lineups, let's see how both teams fare after the game starts! ”
With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!
Real Madrid kicked off first, and Manchester United launched an aggressive counter-attack.
Alonso was intercepted by Wayne Rooney when he organized an attack in the middle, and the former split the ball to find Marcelo on the wing.
Real Madrid have been good at playing fast attacks under the tone of Mourinho's defensive counter-attacking tactics in the past few years, but positional battles have been more obscene, especially against strong teams, which is also the result of Mourinho's first year at Real Madrid when he was beaten by Barcelona in his first national derby with Barcelona.
It can be said that Mourinho's cards in his hand are the best and strongest in the history of his coaching career, I thought that he could not only play beautifully on the field, but also to press the opponent to the limit to collapse, but the strong team still had to be beaten, so he still walked back to the previous line, first defend and then attack!
When Marcelo's through ball was sent to Cristiano Ronaldo, Phil Jones had already assisted the defense on the wing, and Ronaldo stepped on the bicycle at Rafael's feet and accelerated the ball from the outside line and sent it away.
Benzema flanked the ball in the penalty area, and Ferdinand scrambled to clear the ball and block it off the line.
Immediately after clearing the ball, Ferdinand reminded his team-mates to defend their corners and mark them well.
The 272 corner was cleared by Phil Jones' header at the front post, and then Rooney controlled the ball from outside the box and immediately turned the ball back to the middle to find Shinji Kagawa, who kept picking up the ball and sending it to the left side of the back.
Tang Hong started quickly after stopping and leading on the wing, and after just two steps of the ball, he was intercepted by a tackle from Arbeloa and destroyed the ball off the sideline.
Patrice Evra quickly threw the ball out of the touchline, Tang Hong received a volley back on the side of the middle line and sent the ball diagonally behind, and Shinji Kagawa followed up and sent a diagonal pass.
When Wayne Rooney met in the middle, Tang Hong and Robin van Persie followed forward from both wings.
Alonso stepped forward to intercept head-on, and Rooney quickly played the ball to the left side of midfield.
Tang Hong decisively cut inside and ran to the penalty area of Real Madrid.
When Khedira rushed to press, Tang Hong controlled the ball and stopped urgently, and passed the ball to the right in front of the penalty area, which was the line where Van Persie ran inward, and Khedira's defensive center of gravity was just slightly tilted, but Tang Hong's right foot to pass the ball pulled the ball to the left front to accelerate to complete the breakthrough!
When Khedira turned around and chased again, he suddenly saw Ramos grabbing, Tang Hong was suddenly a little surprised, because Ramos stretched out his legs and expanded the defensive area sideways, although he smashed the ball to complete the dodge, but Ramos leaned back and knocked Tang Hong to the ground!
This defense is not just based on the decisiveness of the feet, it is to maximize the scope of the defense!
The referee's whistle blew and Ramos was awarded a foul.
Ramos spread his hands to express helplessness, and then took the initiative to pull Tang Hong up from the ground.
Real Madrid was almost fully involved in the defence when they put up the wall, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema putting up the wall on the left side of the penalty area.
Tang Hong subconsciously glanced at Mourinho in the area where the Real Madrid coach commanded.
With the opponent's meticulous preparation for the game, Tang Hong's free kick will inevitably be prevented, right?
When Rooney stood beside Tang Hong, Tang Hong whispered to him: "You go to the penalty area to run, I will pass the ball to you." ”
This is too close to the goal, and it is not very realistic to want to score directly and arc.
Rooney stood still and didn't move, but when Tang Hong started to run, Rooney also started to move at the same time.
When Tang Hong sent the ball short to the middle of the penalty area, Rooney opened his bow and shot a heavy shot!
The football goes straight to the middle of the goal, and the angle is a little right!
Goalkeeper Diego López directly blocked the ball!
The football that flew outside the penalty area was controlled by 272's chest stop, and he turned around to dodge the counter-robbery from Shinji Kagawa, but as soon as he turned around, he was knocked to the ground with the ball in front of him.
Tang Hong frowned when he heard the referee's whistle, his physical confrontation just now was nothing in the Premier League, but 272 fell to the ground.
Originally, it was just a normal foul blown by the referee, but Tang Hong saw 272 make a gesture to the referee to pull out the cards in the regression, and he immediately shouted at 272 in English: "Sissy, stand up!" ”
The player he annoys the most at the slightest touch, whether it's a teammate or an opponent.
It's even more annoying to force the referee to pull out the cards without doing anything to him.
272 understood what Tang Hong said, and his expression was not very good-looking.
The other players of Real Madrid obviously heard it, and they only felt that Tang Hong was a little arrogant, this is too bullying at the Bernabeu, right?!
Real Madrid launched a quick attack, and when the ball was transferred to the feet of Di Maria on the right side of the field, the Argentine winger quickly pushed forward and flicked the ball to Patrice Evra and crossed the bottom of the line!
The ball flew straight to the back of the penalty area, Ferdinand turned his head to look, and his heart was surprised, maybe he shouldn't be surprised!
Cristiano Ronaldo is killed!
The terrifying time in the air after the jump left Ferdinand with no chance to defend at all.
A header was struck, and Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea made a cross-pounce to lift the ball high above the crossbar and save the day!
The entire audience at the Bernabeu was amazed, and Ronaldo hugged his head and sighed very unwillingly after landing on the ground.
Not to mention anything else, as far as Ronaldo's world-class header skills are concerned, Tang Hong is absolutely incomparable!
"Cristiano Ronaldo almost scored with a header! David De Gea makes a great save!
The game was not as conservative as expected after the start, and the fast attack speed of both teams was dizzying! ”
Two minutes later, when Tang Hong controlled the ball in the front court and completed the breakthrough against Arbeloa, Ramos rushed over for the first time and knocked Tang Hong out of the sideline with a shoulder rush.
After rolling on the ground, Tang Hong immediately got up and looked at Ramos with a cold expression, the other party was deliberate, and obviously in revenge for 272 being hit just now!
The referee stopped the game and warned Ramos, but he did not play a card, and in terms of action, it was indeed a reasonable collision just now, but the movement was a little big.
Tang Hong took a tactical free kick, and when the football came to the left in front of the penalty area, Shinji Kagawa sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area with a diagonal pass over the top.
Van Persie quickly stepped forward to meet the falling football and volleyed from a small angle!
Bang!
The ball hits the outside of the near post and pops off the line!
Shocked the Real Madrid generals in a cold sweat!
Van Persie gritted his teeth and showed unwillingness.
The game was fast-paced, there were many exciting scenes, and there was no shortage of fierce confrontations, which was not so satisfying in Mourinho's eyes, because the game showed signs of getting out of control!
Fairy fight!
How can mortals control it?
The aggressive counter-attack of Manchester United's three strikers forced Real Madrid to launch a fast attack forward, and Manchester United themselves will launch an offensive against time, which comes and goes, and the pace of the game is naturally on the verge of getting out of control!
In the 13th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo ran inside on the left side of the front, Benzema retreated to answer and knocked the ball sideways, and Marcelo assisted to send a diagonal pass.
Cristiano Ronaldo stepped on a bicycle in front of Phil Jones and faked it, and then took a step sideways and slammed the goal!
The ball flew straight into the far corner of the goal, full of threat!
At the critical moment, De Gea bravely pounced and blocked the ball with one palm!
Patrice Evra, who returned to defend in the box, took control of the ball first.
When the Real Madrid fans were lamenting that Ronaldo's kick almost became a wonderful goal saved by De Gea, Manchester United's fast attack was launched from the back line!
Shinji Kagawa received a pass from Patrice Evra in the middle of the backfield and slammed the ball diagonally back to Carrick.
Real Madrid will naturally try to contain United's fast attack in the first place, so the United midfield is much faster than usual, and does not give the opponent a chance to foul in close quarters as much as possible.
Carrick stopped the ball and immediately made a long pass.
The ball flew to the left side of the field.
Aberoa stepped forward to get close to Tang Hong, but found that the football seemed to fly out of the sideline, so he held Tang Hong's forward line, if the opponent stopped the ball, he could immediately grab it, and the timing would be better.
But in the next second, Tang Hong's actions shocked the fans in the audience!
Tang Hong, who ran forward quickly, kept moving, and at the same time looked towards the middle, Rooney also pulled the side to respond, and diagonally inserted in front of Tang Hong, behind Arbeloa.
Ramos followed Rooney, but no matter how you look at Manchester United's attack, they played very reluctantly.
However, Tang Hong did not slow down at all in the forward rush, he came to the position where the football was about to fly out of the sideline and jumped and turned!
Abeloa saw Tang Hong block the ball behind him with his back!
It was only after the ball flew over the side of his head that he consciously tried to head the ball off the touchline, but it was too late!
Ramos scolded in his heart: What the hell is this!
Rooney had already stopped the ball in front of him near the wing, and when Ramos grabbed fiercely, Rooney pulled the ball back and half turned and swept the ball to the left rib of the penalty area!
Tang Hong continued to run wildly after landing, but he had changed direction and switched to an inscribed line!
The young man in the red shirt is sweeping through Real Madrid's defense like a bolt of lightning!
Crazy as a demon!
Receiving Rooney's pass, he cut into the Real Madrid penalty area, Khedira came back to defend and Varane rushed from the side!
In the face of the upcoming pinch attack of the two, Tang Hong suddenly knocked the ball behind him CHOP cross-cut and changed direction!
Khedira took a step slower and was wiped in front of Tang Hong, Varane didn't dare to stretch his legs, because the ball had already passed, and the biggest possibility for him to stretch his legs was to put Tang Hong to the ground!
Under the watchful eye, Tang Hong came to the penalty spot in the penalty area and walked like a stroll to shoot!
Diego López predicted that Tang Hong would hit the bottom right corner of the goal, but the ball flew to the bottom left corner of the goal!
The shot from the reverse cut line prevented Diego López from making a save after a miscalculation!
The football flew into Real Madrid's goal.
Tang Hong turned around and ran to the corner flag area on Rooney's side, and rushed to the front of the away team's fan stands, his face was cold, and his eyes were extremely sharp!
I said, I'm going to do Real Madrid!
