"One to one is also a good result."

In front of the Bernabeu visitors' dugout, Ferguson had such a thought in his head.

But just when the thought just came to mind, he suddenly felt chills all over his body, shivering, and had a creepy feeling.

Years of coaching have taught him that this is an almost instinctive foreboding.

Why is this happening? Why did this idea come about?

Because he is satisfied!

It's human nature that satisfaction tends to make people conservative.

Football is known as a war without gunpowder, and the football field is a battlefield where you live and die.

At this moment, even Ferguson himself feels from the bottom of his heart that one to one is a good result, but what about the players on the pitch?

Do they feel more intensely?

Will they be more conservative than Ferguson?

There was no need to answer, Ferguson already knew the answer in his heart.

Real Madrid today is not the Real Madrid of the past few years.

Under Florentino's management, in just one summer, Real Madrid's strength has been reborn, and under Benitez's tutelage, this Real Madrid team has begun to show a framework and show strong competitiveness.

And the most important thing is Yang Yang, who has always maintained the strong strength of the first person in world football.

Ferguson has been in charge for decades, and he knows better than anyone that when a team has a superstar like Yang Yang who can contribute 50 or 60 goals in a season, or even 70 goals in a season, the team's results will not be bad, and even this team will be a nightmare for all opponents.

Although he is the manager of Manchester United, he also has to admit that at this stage, Yang Yang's overall strength is indeed stronger and better than Cristiano Ronaldo, and at the same time more stable.

The biggest problem of his beloved disciple is in his spiritual level, not as tough as Yang Yang, not as calm and calm as him.

Knowing this, Ferguson suddenly did the opposite and made a shocking move.

He wants to replace Nani with Berbatov.

It was a risky choice, replacing the wingers with a centre-forward and playing Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney up front was a very clear sign that United must fight to the end and even try to score again.

Ferguson was well aware of the signal he was sending with his substitution, and that was what he wanted.

It's better to break the cauldron than to be cocooned.

But at this time, Real Madrid's continuous attacks on the pitch caused a handball foul on Gary Neville, and the referee gave a yellow card and a set-piece opportunity in front.

Ferguson was taken aback and quickly turned his head, "This is the first time Yang Yang has taken a free kick?" ”

Mike Phelan quickly looked at his notes, "This game is the third time." ”

"How did the first two work?" Ferguson asked again.

'One shot on target, saved by Van der Sar and one hit the wall.'

When Ferguson heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was praying, and as if he was comforting himself, "It should be the same this time." ”

……

Before the trip to the Bernabeu, United had done a lot of preparation.

The whole preparation was very meticulous, and the targeted tactical drill also lasted for two weeks.

It can be said that since the draw of Real Madrid, everything in the Manchester United team has revolved around these two games.

In the face of Real Madrid, Yang Yang is a hurdle that cannot be bypassed no matter what.

How to freeze Yang Yang in defense? How to weaken Yang Yang's movement without the ball?

Even how to defend Yang Yang's direct free kick, Manchester United was fully prepared.

For the past two weeks, United have been training from set-pieces every day, and for each set-piece practice, Ferguson has focused on a special training session, with Cristiano Ronaldo taking free-kicks and Edwin van der Sar on goal.

And the most special thing is that Cristiano Ronaldo is always imitating Yang Yang's free kick path.

No one can say for sure when it started, but there is no doubt that Yang Yang has long been recognized as a free-kick master in world football, and his penalty shooting skills are well known, and he has scored through free kicks in La Liga this season.

Some people even say that Yang Yang is in the 30-meter area and can kick a free kick as a penalty.

There were also media reports before that Yang Yang and Zidanei fought with each other, and the two of them took a free kick within 30 meters, and hit ten free throws.

What an impressive success rate?

Ferguson obviously wants to help Van der Sar familiarize himself with Yang Yang's penalty line and skills through special training, so that he can become more confident in the game, because it is impossible for any team to face Real Madrid without fouling in the 30-meter area.

A foul will give a free kick chance, and who is not afraid of a monster who kicks a free kick as a penalty?

The result is obvious, in the game, Van der Sar and Manchester United's human wall performed very well, and successfully defused Yang Yang's direct free kicks in the first two times, which seemed to give Manchester United confidence and confidence.

The third time you will definitely be able to pounce!

……

"Don't worry, he should be a little weak by now." Cristiano Ronaldo said lightly.

Free kicks are very demanding on footwork, but also on the physical strength of the players.

Excessive physical exertion will inevitably lead to out-of-shape movements and insufficient strength.

For high-precision direct free kicks, as long as the action is slightly crooked, the result may be very different, which is the so-called difference of a millimeter, a thousand miles of error.

Now that the game is almost 80 minutes, Yang Yang was extremely active in the first 80 minutes, and Manchester United even used Gary Neville and Fletcher two players to completely freeze him, which is of course his ability, but the consumption is also quite large.

"Van der Sar will be able to pounce." The Portuguese seemed to be trying to convince themselves to believe.

Rooney nodded heavily and looked at goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, who clasped his fists together, apparently looking for a feeling.

"The wall of people should be as high as possible and keep it tight." Gary Neville is reminding his teammates.

Yang Yang's free throws were like a big test for them.

No one knows what the final result will be when this free kick is taken.

Maybe it didn't go in, and the two sides continued to be tied.

Oh no, if the goal hadn't been scored, Real Madrid would have lost their morale and Manchester United might even turn the tide.

Alex Ferguson was ready to bring on centre-forward Dimitar Berbatov on the sidelines, which was a clear indication of the attitude of the United manager.

If you get in......

Then Real Madrid will face a counterattack from Manchester United.

"The ball is coming, be careful!"

Van der Sar clapped his palms vigorously and shouted loudly, bending over himself, ready to pounce.

……

Yang Yang stood at the penalty spot, and he naturally knew the value of this free kick very well.

It's been almost eighty minutes, and if you enter, you will reverse, and if you don't enter, you won't score...... The scene will be more passive.

It's the Santiago Bernabeu, it's motivation, but it's pressure at the same time.

Playing here, people who are a little less able to resist pressure can't support it.

And just as the referee blew the penalty whistle, the Bernabeu fans suddenly burst into a burst of enthusiastic cheers and thunderous applause, and even many fans stood up one after another.

This sudden move showed the excitement and anticipation of the fans at the scene.

Real Madrid hasn't been in the quarterfinals for six years, and they finally made it once, so do they have to go home in the quarterfinals?

This year's Champions League final is at the Bernabeu!

A 1-1 draw gave Manchester United an away goal at Old Trafford, can Real Madrid reverse it?

It's not that Real Madrid fans don't understand, they understand it very well, and because of that, they know the value of this free-kick very well.

Only by entering can Real Madrid have any hope of continuing to go on.

Yang Yang turned his head sideways and glanced at the south stand, where Real Madrid's most die-hard diehards gathered, and basically all stood up at this moment, all cheering for him, shouting for him, and applauding him.

80,000 people, this scene is spectacular! It's thrilling!

There are countless fans watching the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV at this moment, I believe that Yang Yang's parents, relatives and friends, and friends at home and abroad must also be among them, and they must be praying for him and cheering for him.

Yang Yang took a deep breath and ran forward quickly.

Every step he was familiar with, it was a muscle reaction that had been developed over many years of training and had become his instinct.

As if carefully calculated, the left foot stepped firmly on the side of the ball, and the body naturally tilted into an angle, and the right foot was quickly kicked out.

With a thud, the ball flew out and climbed at breakneck speed, over the top of the wall of people jumping high.

Several of United's tall players, including Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, were already jumping as high as they could, and they had blocked the second ball just now, but this time, they were clearly out of reach.

The ball went over the head of the wall and quickly landed towards the goal.

Van der Sar made a judgment at the first time, close!

The Dutch goalkeeper made a quick side pun.

The ball was so fast that if he didn't make the first save, he wouldn't have been able to save the ball in time.

But Van der Sar expected Yang Yang's free throws to fall, which almost became his signature free throw action, so he kept an eye on it and was mentally prepared for a long time.

Everything was as Van der Sar had guessed, as if they had been training at the Carrington training base, the ball fell close to the goal, and Van der Sar made the first move.

Just now, when Van der Sar saved Yang Yang's first free throw, he did just that.

This time, he believes, it will be the same.

Unexpectedly, when he reached out of his hand, he suddenly found that the ball was falling more obviously, and the speed was obviously faster.

Deliberately!

It's been recognized!

Several pieces of information flashed through Van der Sar's mind that made him startled.

I wanted to remedy it, but it was too late.

Van der Sar pounced on one side but slammed into the air, slamming to the ground.

The ball was bouncing in the net behind him.
