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

In the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Manchester United hosted Real Madrid.

Just three minutes into the game, United launched a quick counter-attack, Ryan Giggs split the ball to the left, tried to play the gap behind Marcelo, Nani quickly cut in, and when he was about to receive the ball, Vermaelen chased back at high speed, took the lead on the left side of the penalty area and put the ball out of bounds.

This time the tackle was very beautiful, and Vermaelen won the applause of the Real Madrid players.

Unexpectedly, Rafael threw a throw-in, and Nani used his speed to force off Real Madrid's defense and pick up a pass into the box.

Wayne Rooney missed the ball near the penalty spot, but Cristiano Ronaldo cut in at high speed at the back post, leaped high and headed the ball into the goal of Casillas, 1-0!

Manchester United's opening attack worked!

The whole Old Trafford stadium is starting to boil!

……

Just four minutes later, there was another United counter-attack, with Ryan Giggs playing the ball to Wayne Rooney, who split the ball down the right, and Nani once again used his pace to tear apart Real Madrid's defence on the left.

This time, Vermaelen failed to repeat his previous excellent performance, although he was closely behind Nani, but he was never able to prevent the opponent's cross to the back post, Cristiano Ronaldo followed up at the back post, easily pushed and hit, and equalized the score to 2-0!

The aggregate score is 3 to 3!

Manchester United scored an away goal and Real Madrid suffered a miserable reversal!

……

"Oh God!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo is the god of Old Trafford tonight!"

"It's unbelievable, Manchester United completely broke the Real Madrid back line in just seven minutes after the start of this game, and the aggregate score was 3-3, Manchester United reversed Real Madrid with an away goal!"

"It's unbelievable!"

'We saw that Alex Ferguson was very emotional on the sidelines and it was definitely an epic comeback.

"After Real Madrid opened, they were directly stunned by the opponent."

"A tactical combination of a throw-in, a counterattack through the left wing, both positions are Real Madrid's long-standing weaknesses."

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

"I can't believe it, but that's football!"

……

The whole Old Trafford stadium is in a frenzy!

All the United fans were chanting Ronaldo's name as they could, while the Portuguese raced around the pitch frantically, venting their inner excitement and enjoying the treatment of a king.

Brace!

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

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

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

……

The same is true for Manchester United's players.

On the pitch, each and every one of them was celebrating wildly.

They were almost desperate when they lost 3-1 away to Real Madrid, but Alex Ferguson gave 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-piece, everything was arranged by Ferguson and the coaching staff.

Even how to fight the counterattack routine was trained by Ferguson himself.

And Cristiano Ronaldo, who was so excited and in good form tonight.

With two shots on goal twice, it's a bit unbelievable to be consistent.

After taking a two-goal lead, all the United players are starting to realise that if they keep the momentum and maintain their current lead, they will be able to beat Real Madrid at home and progress to the semi-finals.

Manchester United's morale has skyrocketed, but Real Madrid has suffered a series of setbacks.

…………

…………

Yang Yang felt very strange.

As the team's main attacker, he doesn't know what is wrong with the team's backline, how can he be blown up twice by the opponent in a short period of time?

Isn't the speed of the goal conceded too fast?

But the score shown on the scoreboard is an ironclad fact that cannot be changed.

……

After a 2-1 defeat at home to Chelsea, United made the appropriate adjustments for this game.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic and Rafael at the back, Carrick and Fletcher in midfield, Ryan Giggs in the middle, and Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Nani in front.

Captain Gary Neville did not even make the squad for this game, and Ferguson said in his pre-match press conference that it was a need for the team's rotation, Gary Neville is 35 years old and has played two hard-fought games in a row.

'I believe Rafael would be a very suitable right wing-back, as his pace and flexibility will help the team to freeze down the left side of Real Madrid's attack.

Ryan Giggs was a striking performer against Chelsea and was seen as a key factor in United's home win over Real Madrid after the game, and in fact Ferguson played him in the game.

The front trident has basically changed, except that Wayne Rooney has played with an injury, which shows the resilience of Manchester United's star.

Real Madrid's starting line-up also rotated in the league at the weekend, with Rafa Benitez still fielding their strongest combination for this game.

Goalkeeper Casillas, Marcelo, Vermaelen, Ramos and Arbeloa in the back, Mascherano and Xavi Alonso in the midfield, Sneijder in the middle, Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic and Robben in the front, this is also Real Madrid's strongest squad this season.

But who would have thought that Real Madrid would concede two goals in the opening seven minutes away from home?

……

At this moment, Yang Yang suddenly remembered a game, that is, last season's Champions League, Liverpool's home game against Chelsea, that game was also Liverpool lost points from consecutive corner kicks, and Ivanovic became famous.

At the time, countless media and fans were questioning Benitez's zone-to-man defence system, but later, Liverpool reversed Chelsea away and completely dispelled all suspicions.

Real Madrid have been similarly questioned in the first half of the season, especially from set-pieces, and that seems to have improved in the second half, but the recent games seem to have been repeated.

When I played Atletico Madrid, I also conceded two goals, and now I have 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 whole Real Madrid team.

No one knows what to do?

Everyone knew they had to hold on, but Manchester United were menacing, pressing very ferociously from the start, taking advantage of home advantage to play an unbelievably crazy attack all at once.

This is the Red Devils! This is Ferguson!

The cunning Scottish man is always able to create accidents through his unique understanding of football skills and tactics when everyone expects them most.

Real Madrid had no choice but to retreat.

Benitez made a decisive adjustment, and the whole team immediately contracted its defense, first stabilized its position, and then slowly tried to counterattack.

In the face of Manchester United, which is like a wolf and a tiger, and Real Madrid has to temporarily avoid the edge, you can imagine how amazing Manchester United is when fighting at home, as if it has taken drugs.

No one could have imagined that Manchester United's attacking momentum lasted for more than 20 minutes, and in the first 20 minutes, Manchester United had 61 per cent possession, and the team was simply like a crazy kick, constantly attacking Real Madrid's defensive position.

Real Madrid's first shot of the game came in the 26th minute, it was a quick counter-attack, Yang Yang rushed to the left side of the Manchester United penalty area, crossed to the middle, Sneijder suddenly cut in a long shot, hit Fletcher, failed to create a threat.

Soon, though, United played another attack and were awarded a corner, and Nemanja Vidic grabbed the landing spot in the box, just wide.

Defending from set-pieces, it's like Real Madrid, oh no, it's Benitez's dead end.

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

In the face of Manchester United, Real Madrid has no good solution.

Everyone knows that you have to fight back, you have to fight back, you have to fight for goals, but you can't find an effective way.

The midfield and backfield were suppressed by the opponent, and the attackers in the front field could not get the support of the midfield, which made the Real Madrid players have some options on the field for a while, so they can only stabilize the defense first, and then slowly wait for the opportunity.

Drag, this is not the way to go.

Everyone, including Yang Yang, knows very well that Manchester United will not be able to maintain this kind of high-intensity pressing for a long time, they must slow down, they must take a breath.

The frantically they push now, the greater the physical exertion, and the higher the likelihood that something will go wrong in the end.

You must know that the Premier League team is not physically dominant in March and April, and Manchester United adopts this style of play, obviously knowing its own problems, so it wants to win or lose at the beginning.

On the sidelines, Benitez also quickly realized the problem and immediately commanded the team to deploy the defense, striving to stabilize the position as soon as possible.

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

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

Yang Yang's dribbling was fouled by Manchester United teenager Rafael, and the Brazilian right wing-back received a yellow card, but Real Madrid were unable to pose a threat after being picked up for a free-kick on the flank, where it was difficult to threaten.

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

Having been thwarted and losing the start, Real Madrid could only adopt such on-the-spot tactics.
