Chapter 73: The Hand That Has Nowhere to Put (Subscription Requested)

In front of Real Madrid's bench on the sidelines, Cristiano Ronaldo was grim-faced.

He is an extremely strong person in his heart, and after so many years of debut and so many controversies, he can't survive without a strong enough heart.

But today he is somewhat unable to hold on, he came to Real Madrid in order to win more Champions League and win more golden goals!

But the body is his own, whether he can play or not, he even knows better than the doctor.

And now, in such a crucial game, he can only watch from the wall!

Why did he try? Because he has always known that the most painful thing on the court is not failure, it is that I could!

He could have beaten Dortmund with his own hands and defeated this kid!

Now, I can only hope in others

Inside the field.

Xiao Wen glanced at the direction of the Real Madrid camp, and he knew that those people were standing there, looking at him coldly.

These people want to eat him alive, and they want to leave Westphalia tonight with their heads held high.

No way! When pigs fly!

Xiao Wen also raised his head and collided with Ronaldo's gaze.

……

'Carlo Ancelotti was a bit desperate today, a 4-3-3 formation.

Mateus and Lehmann also came to Westphalia today, and the two witnessed the frenzy of Hornets fans for Xiao Wen before the game, and after a while, they began to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams to the audience today.

"The goalkeeper has nothing to say, Casillas! It was his 139th appearance in the Champions League and he is tied with Maldini for fourth in the Champions League appearances list, behind Ryan Giggs, Xavi and Raul. The Champions League knockout stage has played 46 games, tied for fifth. ”

'The back four are Carvajal, Pepe and Ramos and Coentrão, with Marcelo still out injured.

"Three midfielders. Well, Ilyamendi was able to beat Isco's excellent starters, with Xavi Alonso and Luka Modric still untouched. ”

"The combination of the front, there are some big changes, of course, this is also a change that has to be made because of injuries, Di Maria replaces Cristiano Ronaldo, and Benzema and Bale form a new trident!"

At this time, players from both sides line up to enter.

"On Borussia Dortmund's side, Jurgen Klopp still played his favourite 4-2-3-1, but the personnel were different from the previous game.

The goalkeeper is Weidenfeller.

The back four were Piszczek, Friedrich, Hummels, and Durm, with Friedrich starting again just after returning from injury, and Klopp's arrangement was inevitably a little worrying.

Double back, Kyle and Gundogan, hey, it seems that Klopp tortured Xiao after the last game, what else do you say! ”

Listening to Mateus's rare cold joke, Lyman couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Xiao Wen, Mkhitaryan, Royce, this is a new combination!"

Although we have tried to switch positions with each other in previous games, it is the first time that the starters have been arranged like this.

How can Klopp now be the same as the guy in the coach position of his home team Bayern, who likes to work all over this important game in the Champions League, Matthaus is a little puzzling.

"Lewandowski is still their battering ram. All right. The captains of both sides began to choose sides! ”

Real Madrid were still the first to kick off.

When the fans saw the positions of the players on both sides, some fans who still couldn't believe it before the game, made it clear that Xiao Wenzhen was the premise, and he didn't play in the back.

At this moment, the eyes of those who supported Xiao Wen lit up in an instant, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xiao Wen's offensive attributes were obviously much better than defense.

It's a winger! This is the winger's position!

Ever since Xiao Wen made his mark in the major leagues, he's been working hard in the midfield position. Even if there is no shortage of goals and assists, it is like a nail, nailed to the backfield.

At Dort, it didn't seem to change much, although Klopp kept encouraging him to move forward.

Unexpectedly, I finally waited for such a critical and important game!

The two sides have completed their formation.

Slovenian referee Skomeina blew the whistle for the start of the match.

On the sidelines, Klopp, who was dressed in a bumblebee down suit, touched his freshly trimmed scum beard and looked at Xiao Wen, who was standing not far from him on the field.

After the starting line-up was confirmed, everyone on the coaching staff couldn't help but want to persuade Klopp again.

This change of tactics is too bold, and this change is too crazy.

It's just that they didn't see the slightest hesitation on Klopp's face.

For many of Dortmund's staff, their own manager can be said to be bold or stubborn.......

However, daring to let Xiao Wen play a position that he has never played before in a game that will decide the fate of the team's season and even his personal fate in Dortmund, they still think Klopp is really domineering!

It's just that, strictly speaking, Xiao Wen's crosses and breakthroughs all have the necessary conditions and strength for wingers and full-backs.

So, what will the javelin-like young man on the right side of Dortmund do in this game?

The thought of this young man who had smashed the Galactic Battleship at the Bernabeu last week made everyone's hearts beat uncontrollably at the thought of this.

……

Benzema kicked the ball to Modric, who stepped on it and slammed the ball forward in the face of the Dortmund defence that pounced quickly.

It was a sneak attack from the start, but Hummels was very focused, and a header flicked back as he retreated, which was flicked off to goalkeeper Weidenfeller.

Real Madrid bench, the atmosphere is solemn and dignified.

A whole row of coaches and players watched nervously on the field, and on the far left of the bench, Ancelotti chewed gum, expressionless, and indifferently watched the football being kicked across the halfway line by Weidenfeller's big foot.

Kyle and Di Maria were fighting for the ball, the ball was pushed over by Kyle, the players in the center circle of both sides were shouting something, and the second penalty was finally kicked back to Weidenfeller by Gundogan.

If Real Madrid is the type of team that has spent the most money in the Champions League in recent years and has been beaten the most, it is a big injustice that has been laughed at, then Ancelotti, who has also won the Big Ears Cup, is also a wolf who has been hungry for a long time, whether it is Chelsea in the first stop after leaving AC Milan, or Paris Saint-Germain, both teams can be called local tyrants, and the strength of the transfer support given cannot be said to be small. But it's always a bad thing every time.

Ancelotti also wants to prove himself!

He slowly stood up and walked to the sidelines.

Although the game has just begun, the players of Real Madrid are very active, and under the constant loud spurs of Casillas and Ramos, they will play every pass as if it were the last attack of the game, serious and resolute!

For a while, Dortmund was actually a little messy, Weidenfeller took the ball with big feet, and the defenders cleared the siege without looking at people but only seeking destruction.

The atmosphere in Westphalia froze suddenly.

Finally, under the high-pressure situation of Real Madrid, the situation on the field suddenly made waves in the 16th minute.

Originally, Real Madrid's attack was pressed on the right side, back and forth, and suddenly Carvajal passed the ball to Benzema with a through ball.

Benzema is slightly to the right in the middle, he turns a half, allowing himself to diagonally towards the goal, at this time there is a Gundogan in front of him, the captain Kyle of Dott in front of the right, and on the left side after the half-turn, there is also a Xiao Wen who is adducted in to help strangle.

Benzema flicked the outside of his right foot forward, Bale, who was standing in the center forward position, pulled Hummels outside the penalty area, Benzema did not stay in the encirclement of Gundogan, Kyle and Xiao Wen after passing, he dodged out two steps to avoid Gundogan, and then turned straight in front of Xiao Wen, and ran towards the left side!

Bell pushes with his left foot and hits the wall to cooperate!

Xiao Wen cursed in his heart and hurriedly chased after Benzema.

Unexpectedly, Benzema did not directly face Piszczek and Hummels, who gave up Bale and also retreated, he still passed the ball and pushed it directly to Coentrão who pressed on the left side!

In front of Coentrão a large open field, Dortmund's minds seemed to 'drop' a sharp alarm, Coentrão met the ball non-stop, his left foot directly in the direction of the penalty area, Piszczek quickly gave up adduction and returned to his defensive position.

Coentrão is not Marcelo, his attacking attributes are slightly weaker, seeing Piszczek make up for it, he touched the football with his left foot again, looked up slightly to see the situation in the box, Benzema rushed forward and was already about to reach the small penalty area, he pulled Hummers away... And Bale quietly accelerated from the top of the arc of the penalty area and rushed to the penalty spot!

Coentrão crosses with his feet!

Piszczek jumps up to block!

Xiao Wen only heard a muffled pop, the football was blocked by Piszczek, it bounced right in front of him, and he was about to start with his right foot to dunk the ball, but he could only hear Coentrão shouting loudly in the direction of the referee behind him.

Then came a shrill whistle.

Xiao Wen braked suddenly, turned around and looked, only to see Skomeina walking slowly towards the penalty area, his right hand pointing straight to the penalty spot!

Penalty kick!

A cold glint appeared in Xiao Wen's eyes, but then it turned into an indescribable complex emotion.

Many people, including himself, thought that Dortmund had a better chance of winning this game, and when the news of Ronaldo's inability to start before the game came, there were even cheers in Dortmund's dressing room.

But what kind of team is Real Madrid?

Although he came to Westphalia with a not too optimistic 3:3, he didn't expect that in just ten minutes, he clearly kicked out the tactics arranged by Ancelotti!

Xiao Wen quietly watched as referee Skomina firmly invited Kyle and Piszczek and others out of the penalty area, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

Klopp on the sidelines saw very clearly, when Piszczek jumped up, he had deliberately put his hands behind his back, a very standard defensive action in the penalty area, but when he jumped up, he instinctively wanted to block the ball with his back, so in the process of body rotation, his left hand was unconsciously stretched out, and the football hit his elbow.

So Klopp didn't complain too excitedly, who told you to leave your arms off your torso and block the passing path of the football.

Carlo Ancelotti didn't get too carried away, he just left the dugout again and walked to the touchline, his face blank. Only a mouth chewing gum quickly could show a little excitement in his heart.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not there.

Xiao Wen squinted and saw Di Maria walk into the restricted area.
