Some people are optimistic about Real Madrid, some people are not optimistic about Real Madrid, this is very normal before the game.

Real Madrid arrived in Moscow a day early for this match, and at 3 p.m. on February 15, Real Madrid and his party appeared at Moscow International Airport with a tired face, and they spent nearly five hours on the plane.

The long journey brought them tiredness and discomfort to the weather.

Although the temperature in Madrid in February is not very high, it is around 10 degrees, but the average temperature in Moscow in February is minus 11 degrees!

Chen Fan, who was wearing a thick down jacket, tightened his collar and sighed a few times towards his gloved hand, as if this would warm his hand a little.

He finally understood why the media was not very optimistic about Real Madrid, this kind of weather......

When the Real Madrid players walked out of the airport, the reporters who had been waiting here immediately surrounded them excitedly.

Jose Mourinho took the initiative to walk towards the reporters in order to get the players out of the airport as soon as possible, and he did not want to disappoint the reporters, after all, they have been waiting here for so long, and everyone should respect each other's profession.

A journalist immediately asked: "Mr. Mourinho, do you have confidence in the game?" ”

Such idiotic questions should also be asked, and it seems that the IQ of the reporter has also decreased as the temperature drops.

Mu Shuai pursed his lips and said: "Although the weather in Moscow is very bad, we are still confident that since the low temperature will not freeze the legs of CSKA Moscow, of course, our legs cannot be frozen." ”

A middle-aged reporter asked, "How are you going to arrange your troops tomorrow night?" What is the formation, is it still four-three-three? Can Kaka, who has been in good form lately, start? ”

After thinking about it, Mu Shuai said: "We will continue to use the formation of four, three and three, and Kaka starting is one of my choices. ”

The 433 formation is an attacking formation, which shows that Mourinho is ready to play CSKA Moscow in a head-to-head battle, which is certainly what fans and the media like to see.

Of course, it's normal for a coach to set off smoke bombs before a game, and the media and fans will laugh at the coach if they fully believe it.

Playing away, will Real Madrid play against each other?

According to the cautious character of the Portuguese, he would risk a battle against the attack?

Journalists did not fully believe Mourinho's words.

"I'm going to surprise everyone!"

Mu Shuai smiled and said, "You will definitely be happy then." ”

These words have no beginning and no end, and the reporters are full of questions, and a beautiful reporter asks: "Can you reveal it in advance now?" ”

Mu Shuai shook his head mysteriously.

……

The Champions League knockout rounds began on the evening of the 15th, with Lyon vs. Greeks and Bayer Leverkusen vs. Barcelona starting the first game.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Lyon won 1-0 at home.

The scoreline was very delicate and the only takeaway for Lyon was not to give the Greeks an away goal.

On the other piece of turf, Bayer Leverkusen fought fiercely at home against Barcelona, who used their technical and tactical advantages to control the tempo of the game, and Bayer Leverkusen used their strong bodies to fight against them.

In the end, technology prevailed and Barcelona won the final victory with a score of 3 to 1!

The media was in an uproar, Barcelona who were away from home won by two goals and controlled the rhythm of the game, is this still the Barcelona team that was won by Real Madrid for four consecutive games?

Barcelona's mouthpiece, World Sport, highly praised Barcelona: "It only took one game for Barcelona to regain their confidence!" ”

The team newspaper commented: "That omnipotent cosmic team is back! ”

Milan Sports newspaper said: "With this victory, Barcelona has ended the suspense of promotion ahead of schedule! With two domestic bids hopeless, it would be scary for Barcelona to focus on the Champions League! ”

Some even believe that Barcelona are the biggest favourites to win the Champions League this season.

Barcelona's amazement brought great pressure to Real Madrid, Chen Fan wrote on social platforms that night: Pressure is also motivation, the greater the pressure, the greater the motivation!

……

At 8 p.m. the next night, the matches between Zenit and Benfica, as well as CSKA Moscow and Real Madrid, started on time at the two stadiums.

The Khimki Stadium was packed with snow and players from both sides wore long-sleeved jerseys on the pitch.

After the start of the game, the Moscow Central Asian Army launched a fierce attack on Real Madrid with home advantage.

To the surprise of reporters, Mourinho really gave the media and fans a surprise - Chen Fan and Ronaldo switched positions and appeared in the left winger position!

Letting Cristiano Ronaldo give up his favorite left winger, is Mourinho making a line-up change, or knocking Ronaldo?

No one knows the reason behind this.

Another surprise was that Kaka really appeared in the starting lineup, which means that all three Real Madrid World Footballer of the Year winners appeared!

This arrangement makes this ordinary game full of highlights!

After withstanding a wave of more than 10 minutes from CSKA Moscow, Real Madrid began to counter-attack, frequently attacking from both flanks, as they have two of the best wingers in the world today.

In the twelfth minute of the first half, Marcelo, who came up with the assist, made a diagonal pass about five meters from the bottom line, and Chen Fan easily got rid of the opponent's defender after taking the ball, and shot at the corner of the penalty area!

The soccer ball flies towards the top right corner of the goal!

The air at Khimki Stadium suddenly became tense.

Going to score a goal?

"Pong! ……”

With a loud bang, the ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

"Boom! ……”

There was a huge exclamation in the stadium, and the home fans let out a long breath.

Five minutes later, Real Madrid attacked from the right, Ronaldo won the ball and played a diagonal pass with Benzema through one-two, and the Portuguese superstar fired a low shot from the edge of the box, and the football was blocked by the opposition defender.

As time went on, the snow began to pile up on the pitch, and the difficulty of the players doing each technique increased, and the mistakes increased.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Chen Fan took advantage of the opponent's defender's clearance mistake to steal the football in the hinterland, and then made a diagonal pass, and Ronaldo took the lead into the penalty area.

Golden opportunity!

The Portuguese superstar takes a big step forward with his left foot and he's going to shoot!

However, heavy snow made the pitch slippery and Ronaldo's left foot slid forward, causing his shot to turn into a pass, which the CSKA Moscow goalkeeper easily held in his arms.

Mourinho, who was standing in the command area, shook his head helplessly, this damn weather......

The pitch was slippery and it was impossible for Real Madrid to play a delicate game, but CSKA Moscow was at home, and their style of play was already wide open.

Therefore, CSKA Moscow gradually gained the upper hand, and Mourinho judged the situation, changed tactics and launched a defensive counterattack.

Real Madrid set up luxury buses in the penalty area, and CSKA Moscow constantly hit Real Madrid's goal with aerial balls.

In the 38th minute of the first half, CSKA Moscow striker Thomas Murphy. Nessid made a beautiful header and the ball flew towards the right side of the goal.

Casillas kicked the outside of his left foot and was about to leap away, but he slipped and fell......

The soccer ball flies towards the goal!

Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, when it was in danger, Marcelo jumped away, kicked the football out of the goal with a volley, and resolved the opponent's must-score goal!
