690 That King Is Back?
The fifth watch is over! โโ
Dec. 6 at 8:45 p.m.
In Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, the 80,000-capacity Kyiv Olympic Stadium appears empty.
Dynamo Kyiv, who have not won a game in the Champions League this season, have long been eliminated and fans are frustrated with the team.
Even when the star-studded Real Madrid came here, the game was still unattended.
Real Madrid has been in Spain for a long time, and Ukraine, which has come to Eastern Europe, is very uncomfortable with the sudden drop in temperature.
As a result, Real Madrid got into the game later and later, and their technical performance was also restricted, as if everyone had been frozen into popsicles and reacted very slowly.
Dynamo Kyiv scored two goals in the first half!
Until the 80th minute of the second half, the score on the scoreboard was still 2:0.
While the players of Dynamo Kyiv thought that the team was on the verge of their first Champions League win of the season, Real Madrid had a superstar step up!
In the 85th minute of the game, David Beckham took a corner kick, substitute Xavi Garcia headed the ball in the box, and Ronaldo stopped the ball on the line of the small penalty area and pushed the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal.
Real Madrid pulled a goal back!
3 minutes later, Ronaldo burst into the penalty area and was fouled by two defenders of Dynamo Kyiv and fell to the ground, and the referee blew the whistle for a penalty!
Ronaldo personally took the penalty and hit!
With a brace, Real Madrid equalized in 3 minutes!
Recently, it seems that the aliens are on fire, trying to turn the tide and help the team complete a big comeback in Kyiv.
But time was running out and Dynamo Kyiv defended with all their might to drag the game to the finish.
Dynamo Kyiv can only accept the unfortunate fate: this season's Champions League is out of the Champions League without a win!
Real Madrid were furious. A fact that they could not accept was revealed: Lyon beat Steaua Bucharest 3-0 at home. Real Madrid are two points behind Lyon. Can only qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League as the second in the group!
Real Madrid returned to Madrid with just four hours of rest after returning from Ukraine, and the team was ready to train for the weekend's match against Sevilla.
Although the team failed to win Dynamo Kyiv and finished second in the group to advance to the round of 16 of the Champions League, Ronaldo, who has scored goals recently, seems to have regained his former style, and he dare not say that the omnipotent alien is back, at least he has made people see the shadow of the goal machine again.
Journalists flocked to the training base, not to see what Capello would do as he prepares for Sevilla, but to cover the recent frenzied goals. Ronaldo, who scored 6 goals in 3 games!
Real Madrid officials also hope that Ronaldo can show his face more when he is in high spirits and bring more popularity to the club, after all, alien fans are all over the world.
Ronaldo was interviewed with great interest.
The reporters asked all sorts of questions with great interest.
'You've scored nine goals and you're 21 goals away from your 30-goal commitment.
Ronaldo answered the question with confidence.
"The bet still works, and I'm going to try to get there. Some people don't believe me, and that only makes me more motivated. So far, I still feel like I can win. โ
"Does Capello inspire you in a way that makes you feel like you're in a love-hate relationship with him?"
"I personally like it. I want the coach to ask me to do something, and if he's not like that, it means he doesn't care about you at all. Capello was very demanding of me, and sometimes we didn't understand each other and got into an argument about it. But it's normal, it's part of football in itself. Right now. I like that he asks me a lot of things and he is interested in me. In my opinion, I am important to him and it shows that he trusts me. โ
"Capello has publicly stated that you are obese, is this disrespectful to you?"
"I don't mind him saying that, I'm annoyed that the media always miscommunicates what he means, and I can only pretend I didn't hear it. We can check to see if you're really fat or what your weight is, and everyone can do that. It struck me as funny that we are still talking about this topic to this day. If you can score, you're a great player, if you can't, you're fat. I'm a big trainer, I'm always trying to improve myself, I don't really care what people say about me. โ
Although Ronaldo's expression was unconcerned when he answered, the reporters with amazing insight noticed the struggle in Ronaldo's eyes.
Of course, there will be no one who really doesn't mind this, it's not just life, it's also competition, how many people on the field are obese?
Disrespectful? Far worse than that!
So the reporters changed the subject, but they didn't want Ronaldo to be unhappy and walked away.
"Today the media are saying that the king is back!"
Hearing this, Ronaldo showed a rather innocent smile.
"I prefer to talk about football, whether you lost or won or how you played. For most people, the first topic is football and nothing else, and I'd rather talk about football, football, football. โ
"Do you like the way the team plays at the moment?"
"First of all, I'm happy to have the opportunity. Real Madrid are an awesome team, so it's understandable that the fans are asking for a lot of things. But everyone has reason to be happy about the team's results, even if they don't play well. And, they can see great football in no time. โ
"Will you be able to play against Sevilla?"
"As long as the coach allows it. Of course I'd love to go on and help the team score and get the three points back. But no matter what, I obeyed the coach's instructions because I was a professional footballer. โ
"With four points ahead of Barcelona at the moment, is it very likely that Real Madrid will regain the league title this season?"
"We want to win. It doesn't make sense to talk about the top spot or the title right now, we have to finish the season ahead of the rest of the team as the first place. If Barcelona start winning all the time, we have to keep picking up points. โ
Ronaldo finished the interview without feeling tired at all.
It seems like it's been a long time since he's been so surrounded and respected by reporters, taking care of him for an interview.
And the fact that the reporters don't bother him with very sharp questions makes him feel incredibly happy.
He wants to play now and then keep scoring goals and prove that he's not old.
Qin Xiong only returned to the team on the last day of training for Sevilla, and his recovery was satisfactory, but Capello still does not plan to put Qin Xiong in the starting line-up for the game out of prudence, and he will go to the Pizjuรกn Stadium as a substitute. (To be continued......)
