Chapter 719: Taking the Lead (Plus Change)

Mourinho and Airo expressed their full confidence in facing Real Madrid away at the regular press conference before the game, which made the local media in Madrid feel quite unhappy, but helplessly Chelsea's fierce momentum recently, coupled with the presence of 'Real Marker' Elo, made them feel very worried!

And he has been excellent in recent Premier League and national team matches, and it cannot be ruled out that this Champions League 1/8 final against Real Madrid will continue his excellent form.

Of course, the biggest reason why the media doesn't dare to refute is that Iroh often does what he says and doesn't drag his feet on the water!

When it was the home team's turn to press conference before the match, Real Madrid manager Juan Ramos was asked by reporters and expressed the same confidence that the visitors would win: "Chelsea are commendable for expressing confidence to win at the Bernabeu, but the end result will not be as they would like because ...... This is the Bernabeu! With the best team in the world!! ”

Later, the captain Raul was also interviewed by reporters, and in the face of the imposing question, he frowned and said: "That's right, Ai is the best player in the world, but we are the best team in the world, no matter how strong the individual ability is, a team cannot be invincible, because football is a team sport, and only by building individual strength on the whole can the team play the strongest combat effectiveness!" If he only wants to defeat us on his own, then I can only say three words - I'm sorry! ”

In the impression of many reporters, Raul has always been synonymous with elegance, and there are very few-for-tat situations, so ...... Reporters with a keen sense of smell immediately sensed a glimmer of information that could be mined.

If nothing else, tonight's game at the Bernabeu will be very exciting!

Merely...... Whether this wonderful belongs to Real Madrid or not is still unknown!

Because Real Madrid has not crossed the 1/8 final of the Champions League since it was eliminated by Juventus in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League in the 2004-2005 season, until the 2007-2008 season last season, they have not crossed the hurdle of the 1/8 finals, so they are also nicknamed 'Champions League 16 Lang Lang by some media!' ’

Compared with Real Madrid's confidence in winning, the media still chooses to believe in Chelsea, after all, this team has the best player in the world at the moment, Elo, who has been in good form recently, will definitely stabilize Chelsea's goal rate, and Real Madrid will be much more difficult to score, even if Carvalho is nearly 31 years old, but his rich experience is still there, enough to make up for the decline in his physical quality.

And...... Isn't Raul also old? Higuain is still young, so how can he threaten Chelsea's solid backline?

Coupled with the fact that there is also a top three goalkeeper in the world in front of the goal, Cech is guarded, and it is even more difficult to break through the goal.

Similarly, Juan Ramos' suspicions are similar, as he has known Jose Mourinho's Chelsea stability in his past more than a season at Tottenham, coupled with Elo's strength, even if he wants to eat Chelsea from home advantage.

However, as the head coach of Real Madrid, he naturally can't extinguish his prestige, and the momentum that can be expressed with his mouth is naturally the best, especially in the face of the hostile media.

Finally, Juan Ramos said: "Maybe people think that it will be difficult for us to win, but it is not impossible! Real madrid...... A team that no team can match!! ”

The magical story of the Bernabeu Stadium has led to the illustrious history of the stadium's owner, Real Madrid, who was named the club of the century by FIFA in 2000.

Countless players around the world are proud to join Real Madrid, and the fans in this stadium are also the most discerning fans in the world, so there have been cases of applause for the away team Barcelona Ronaldinho and Valencia Airo, which virtually made Real Madrid lose face.

But it is undeniable that the owners of this stadium ...... Proud!

Real Madrid's Champions League 1/8 final against Chelsea was packed, and the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was full.

The stadium was star-studded with white Real Madrid fans, with blue Chelsea fans occupying only a small portion of the stands on three floors.

There was no surprise that the voices of the Chelsea fans simply could not reach the ears of the Chelsea players, because ...... The voices of the Real Madrid fans are just too loud.

Iroh propped his head with his right hand, stretched his elbow on Modric's shoulder, turned a deaf ear to the boos that erupted in the stands, and said lazily with his eyes half-opened: "Little Luka, will you feel nervous about the next game?" ”

Modric was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, but quickly nodded again.

"Haha...... There's nothing to be nervous about, it's Real Madrid who will play against us, not the 80,000 fans in the stands, and ...... They are nothing more than rubbish in the skins of the nobility! Elo returned to normal, patted Modric on the shoulder, and smiled.

He's ready to put down the pressure on Modric before the game!

"Huh?" Modric raised his eyebrows, puzzled by Iroh's words.

"Hehe, I used to enjoy their applause here."

Iroh's voice shifted, and he talked about the treatment he had enjoyed here.

"How is that possible?"

Modric said instinctively.

Iroh smiled and continued: "I was here two years ago, I ......" he paused, the smile on his face even thicker, and then pointed to the stand with the loudest boo, and said, "I scored a hat-trick here, and then ...... They booed their home team and gave me a round of applause! ”

Modric closed his eyes and felt with his heart according to what Iroh said, but he couldn't imagine it for a long time, so he turned his head and asked, "How does it feel?" ”

"Awesome!"

After a few minutes of talking to Iro, Modric's nervousness vanished, and he began to look forward to the treatment that Iroh had enjoyed......

How wonderful is it to be the away team and enjoy the applause of the home fans at the Bernabeu Stadium?

As the background music of the Champions League theme song "Champions Europe" on the Bernabeu radio sounded, players from both sides of the game walked from the players' tunnel to the pitch.

It is worth mentioning that in the pre-match handshake between the players of both sides, Ramos and Robben shook hands with Arlo respectively, and the strength was slightly more than half a point.

Where does the experienced Iroh not know what the two of them think? Ramos was abused by himself when he was in Sevilla, and he played for Real Madrid as well, how could he feel good?

As a young player who appeared in La Liga at the same time, but as Iroh became the first person recognized in football, Ramos was still questioned by Real Madrid fans, and the different treatment made him hold back his strength to embarrass Iroh in this Champions League 1/8 final, and the handshake before the game was for his dismount!

And Robben's idea is even simpler, that is, he is ready to use his watch Xiàn to conquer Elo's team in the game, proving that he Robben is not worse than Elo!

"CCTV, now broadcasting for you is the first leg of the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League 1/8 final Real Madrid hosts Chelsea, the first kick-off is the away team Chelsea, they are wearing blue jerseys and blue shorts, attacking from the left side of the screen to the right, while the home team Real Madrid is wearing their traditional white jersey and white pants, attacking from the right side of the screen to the left, and now it is Croatia international Luka Modric who is holding the ball......"

With the referee's whistle, He Wei began his commentary lines in the live studio.

At the same time, there was a huge boo in the stands, which they hoped would be able to influence the Chelsea players in possession, preferably with a mistake that would give Real Madrid a home lead.

To their disappointment, Modric, who was holding the ball, was not disturbed by the boos in the stands, and in the face of Raul's active scrambling, he very calmly flicked the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot and shook off the angle, Raul did not give up because of this, turned a corner, and chased back up.

The dribbling Modric was unhurried, stepped on the ball with the sole of his right foot, and then turned 90 degrees to the left and stuck in the path in front of Raul, and the outside of his right foot pulled the ball back.

This time Raul did not continue to scramble, but ran straight to the front, this year he is 32 years old, his physical fitness is not as good as when he was young, he can retain more body lì to keep a little more, as an excellent striker, the responsibility is to score, not to defend!

"Luka Modric is very confident and unhurried in the face of Raul's scramble for Lord of the Rings!"

The Croatian national television commentator praised.

After a few Chelsea back-and-forths, the ball was soon passed to Eloh close to the left.

Lassana Diarra and Ramos tensed at the same time and leaned in.

But Iroh didn't mean to dribble the ball, grinning and lazily passing the ball to Frank Lampard, before running to the left.

Lassana Diarra followed up with Iello as Joan Ramos had arranged before the game, not giving him much space to get the ball, but Lampard had no idea of passing the ball to Iro, leaning towards his attacking right flank, and the ball was passed to Kalou on the right.

But...... Chelsea's first shot was again scored by Iroh and he posed a big threat.

After the ball was passed to Kalou's feet, right wing-back Branislav Ivanovic cut in at high speed along the touchline.

Just when Lasana Diarra was a little relaxed, Iroh suddenly started to accelerate in the left rib of the attack!

Ramos' pupils shrank sharply, and he secretly cursed the careless Lasana Diarra, taking the lead in the space on the right side of the defense, but ...... Iroh's aim was not to attack the left flank, but to ...... Mid lane!

Ivanovic inserted the side to receive Kalou's pass without stopping the ball and crossed directly, Drogba, who was originally in the middle, suddenly changed direction and ran to the far corner, while Ailo ran from the left rib to the middle, and the cross run in the front court directly disrupted Real Madrid's defensive system, Cannavaro didn't pull it, and Airo jumped directly at the penalty spot with a header.

Casillas, standing on the goal line, instinctively reached for a block and the ball changed direction and deflected wide of the left-hand post.

Then, there was an exclamation from the stands.
