Chapter 82: I Won't Disappoint You!
On April 1, at 7:45 p.m. Munich time, the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Schalke 04 and Barcelona took the lead. In the 35th minute of the first half, Barcelona scored his first goal in the Champions League with a clever pass from Xavi.
Barcelona took home a win away from home with a 1-0 win over Schalke 04 thanks to Bojan's goal. Arsenal vs Liverpool started immediately after the game, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
At the end of the first leg, the Catalan media highly praised Barcelona's away victory, believing that BarΓ§a had one foot in the door of the semi-finals. After praising Barca, they turned their attention to the Bernabeu.
Arsenal drew at home to Liverpool and conceded an away goal, with the British media believing Liverpool have better hopes of progression. After commenting on the game, they also set their sights on the Bernabeu.
On 2 April, the other two Champions League quarter-finals will be played, with Real Madrid hosting Manchester United and Fenerbahce hosting Chelsea. Due to time zones, Fenerbahce and Chelsea played first.
At half past seven in the evening Turkish time, Fenerbahce's match against Chelsea officially began. After an hour and a half of fierce action, Fenerbahce won 2-1 at home to Chelsea. Speaking at his post-match press conference, Jose Mourinho was adamant: 'Chelsea are back at home and only need a 1-0 to progress to the semi-finals. β
With this match over, the eyes of the world are on the Bernabeu. Some media described the first three games as appetizers. And the match between Real Madrid and Manchester United is the feast. Some people also think that this is Ronaldo's best chance to challenge Tang Jue, and Ronaldo is qualified to compete with Tang Jue after defeating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
There are also people who believe that this is a game between Manchester United and Tang Jue plus ten other people, as long as Manchester United can contain Tang Jue, they can get out of the Bernabeu.
At half past six in Madrid time, Real Madrid's bus was the first to enter the Bernabeu Stadium. Schuster led his team members from the bus, and the media reporters who had been waiting there for a long time shouted excitedly at Tang Jue, hoping that he could say a few words.
'We're going to win tonight. Certain! No matter who the opponent is. We will definitely win! Tang Jue met the reporters' requests and made bold statements. Journalists are content with the rhetoric that if Real Madrid wins, the pro-Real Madrid and neutral media will be able to say so. Don fulfilled his pre-match rhetoric. Lead the team to victory over Manchester United! β
If Real Madrid is unfortunate to lose. Or a draw with Manchester United, and the members of the "anti-Don League" can ridicule him, "The pre-game rhetoric of the football champion has failed." Manchester United away ...... Real madrid! β
Casillas' girlfriend Sarah? Carbonero asked: "Manchester United say they have found a way to contain you, what do you think about that? β
Tang Jue smiled and said, "Curb me? Are you kidding! β
This was a bit of a big remark, which aroused the disgust of some reporters, and the media reporters in the Madrid area felt that there was nothing wrong with this sentence, because they were used to seeing Tang Jue's strength.
"But," he said, frowning slightly, "if they send seven or eight men to guard me, they will really be able to contain me." But then my teammates will have a chance. I'm sure they're going to give their opponent a fatal blow when I'm frozen. β
"We have a lot of attackers in the team, not to mention Henry, Ribery's wide cut is quite sharp, Sneijder's long-range shot is very heavy, Yaya Toure can also score, yes, and Ramos's header, this guy has always been underestimated by others, he is very good when he fights for the header, and I asked him for header skills some time ago."
Tang Jue spread his hands and said: "You see, our strength is so strong, even if Manchester United freezes me, it is useless, my teammates can also break their goals!" β
"Victory is ours!" He clenched his fists and shouted, then left the reporter. The reporters had to look at his back helplessly, and many problems could only be stillborn.
β¦β¦
At seven o'clock, the players of both sides return to the locker room, and the coach has to make the final tactical arrangements.
Home team dressing room.
Schuster glanced around and said: "Manchester United have been saying before the game that they have found a way to contain Don. Maybe they did find it, what are we going to do? β
Ramos was unconvinced and exclaimed: "In addition to Don, we can also score their goals!" β
Schuster smiled, looked at Ramos and said, "Good! You have a point! βγ He looked at Tang Jue again and said, "Tang, do you understand what I mean?" β
Tang Jue nodded, and Schuster looked at the other players with satisfaction and said: "After Tang is frozen by the opponent, you must be ready to break the opponent's goal, and then the responsibility of breaking the goal will fall on you." β
After saying this, he deliberately glanced at Sneijder, Henry, Ribery and the others. Then Schuster began to arrange how to carry out the attack when Tang Jue was frozen, and he meant to bloom more to deal with Manchester United's containment tactics.
Away team locker room.
The lord was chewing gum in his mouth, and his rosacea was very red, which was caused by excitement. With Cristiano Ronaldo's growth this season, Manchester United have entered a golden period, and they have the possibility of winning both the Premier League and the Champions League. There are British media outlets who have encouraged Manchester United to achieve the great feat of the double before they leave for the trip.
'Tonight was a big game for us in the Champions League, this is the Bernabeu, we've never taken a win here, history should change!'
"Tonight, we're going to change history and take a victory from here!"
According to British media reports, his request for this game is to score away goals.
The Manchester United player's face perked up, and there was a burning battle intent in his eyes!
After boosting the morale, the lord began to remind his disciples: "The game at the Bernabeu is difficult to play, you have to be mentally prepared, play with boos, and control your emotions." Be calm, you must be calm, you must believe in yourself, victory must be ours! β
The lord looked at Scholes and said, "Your task is to stay with Don an inch, and you will follow him wherever he goes." Even if he goes to the sidelines to drink water, you have to keep up! β
Last year at Old Trafford, Tang Jue was heavily defended by Manchester United's defenders, unable to get the ball in front of the pitch and took the initiative to retreat. It was that change that gave him the opportunity to score twice against Manchester United and help Milan walk away from Old Trafford. The Lord didn't want last year's situation to happen again.
Scholes nodded and said, "Coach, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task." β
The lord nodded, looked at the other players in the midfield and said: "Once he has the ball, he must be surrounded immediately, and he must not be allowed to run!" β
Ferdinand and the others nodded, they knew how terrible Tang Jue was when he ran.
"In addition, you can't relax your defense against the others, they may look for a breakthrough from other places while Don is contained."
β¦β¦
When he walked out of the dressing room, the lord patted Ronaldo on the shoulder and said seriously: "Cristiano, tonight is your time to prove yourself, I believe you can score their goal!" β
Ronaldo raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Coach, don't worry, the thought of playing against Tang makes my blood boil!" β
The lord patted Ronaldo's shoulder with satisfaction.
At half past seven, the starters of both sides appeared in the players' tunnel, and Tang Jue enthusiastically stepped forward to hug Ronaldo.
"I'll treat you to a drink after the game!" Tang Jue sent an invitation to Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was stunned for a moment, blinked and said: "Probably not, we have to fly back early tomorrow morning." So be it, you go to Mantter, and I'll invite you to drink. β
Tang Jue smiled and said, "Okay, we'll make up our minds." After the nine-day game, let's drink! β
In last year's Champions League, the two were always fighting openly and secretly in the players' tunnel. This time, I don't talk about the game, I just talk about drinking, as if they are a pair of old friends. Tang had a reason to invite Ronaldo to drink, and when the "blasphemy incident" was at its hottest, Ronaldo stood up and explained, so that the incident took a turn.
β¦β¦
Scholes frowned, turned around and whispered to Ronaldo, "What did he just say to you?" β
Ronaldo said: "He said, 'Invite me to drink after the game,' Ronaldo said. β
Scholes asked suspiciously, "That's it?" β
Ronaldo nodded and said, "That's it!" β
After a moment of contemplation, Scholes asked, "You agreed?" β
Ronaldo shook his head and said: "No, I told him that after the second round, I invited him to drink." Is there anything wrong? β
Scholes shook his head and said, "I don't know, but what you did was right, he is riddled with negative news now, you better stay away from him." β
Ronaldo raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but Scholes motioned for him not to speak and continued: "You don't have to contradict me, I know what you have to say." Now put your mind on the game, and if the game goes well and the game is over, I'll give you a drink. β
Ronaldo shook his head and thought to himself: he is riddled with negative news, and he needs friends more at this time. Am I afraid of negative news? If I had known that you saw it that way, I would have agreed to drink with him.
β¦β¦
Under the leadership of the referee, players from both sides walked into the Bernabeu stadium!
The cheers of the mountains and tsunamis rushed towards the players on both sides. Ronaldo looked up and saw two eye-catching banners at a glance.
"Don, we want our tenth Champions League!"
This banner is a morale boost for the Real Madrid fans.
"Cristiano Ronaldo, the Bernabeu is your burial place!"
This is Real Madrid fans fighting Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ronaldo exhaled a long breath and his eyes became more determined, he was a proud man. But anyone who is proud will always fight back firmly against provocative words, and he has decided to use the goal to fight back against the Real Madrid fans and this banner!
Tang Jue smiled and waved to the fans behind the banner, yes, this is an important game for Real Madrid on the way to their tenth Champions League trophy.
"I won't let you down!"
Tang Jue said silently in his heart. (To be continued......)
