Chapter 0497, boy, don't be in a hurry to get on top!
When Real Madrid couldn't open the situation for a long time, that man was about to appear.
Seeing that the team was two goals behind and the time was getting less and less, Zidane couldn't wait.
After thinking twice, he decided to send Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo can't wait!
Taking advantage of a dead-ball opportunity, the fourth official raised his card to make a substitution.
Isco is off, Ronaldo is on the field!
Frustrated, Isco walked off the field in despair.
He failed to prove his quality in this game, not only did he not score, but he conceded the first goal because of his own mistake.
Zidane patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
Zidane knows very well that Isco is actually good, but he is really not the kind of top star player and does not have the strength to turn the tide.
This kind of thing has to be Ronaldo.
Two minutes after Ronaldo came on the field, he received a long pass from Casemiro and fired a shot from outside the penalty area!
De Gea didn't react!
The ball hits the crossbar and bounces off the bottom line!
Real Madrid almost pulled a goal back!
Cristiano Ronaldo is in excellent form!
De Gea had palpitations and stared at Ronaldo.
Ronaldo, on the other hand, kicked the turf hard and muttered something in his mouth.
Obviously, he was unhappy with the performance he had just performed.
It was from this moment that Real Madrid's offensive state changed.
Although it was just one person, the temperament of the whole Real Madrid team seemed to have improved a lot.
That pursuit of victory is vividly reflected in Ronaldo.
Sprint with the ball, dribble, shoot!
Cristiano Ronaldo is on the left flank like no man's land!
The continuous onslaught has put Manchester United's defensive line under great pressure!
In addition to Cristiano Ronaldo, because Ronaldo caused Manchester United's defensive tilt, he also created opportunities for other teammates.
Bale, who crossed with Ronaldo, came with a long-range shot on the right side at this time!
De Gea rubbed his fingertips with all his might!
The ball flies off the line!
It's dangerous!
And Benzema also received the ball in the penalty area, knocked back with his back, and Modric shot low!
The ball slides out of the goal!
De Gea was a bit on the left and couldn't block the shot!
Luckily, the ball was a little bit off, otherwise it would have gone in as long as it was within the frame of the goal......
After Cristiano Ronaldo's debut, Manchester United was under great pressure.
Soon, Mourinho made a substitution.
Ibrahimovic came off the bench and Marcus Rashford came off the bench.
Wayne Rooney comes off and Herrera comes on.
These two substitutions are only one aspect of the adjustment.
Jose Mourinho changed quickly, changing the 4-2-3-1 formation into a 4-3-2-1.
Marcus Rashford is up front, with Paul Pogba and Mkhitaryan behind him, and Herrera, Nemanja Matic and Xia Xing in midfield.
This adjustment is significant.
Pogba burst forward and used his attacking enthusiasm to the fullest.
Substitute Herrera dragged on and stirred up Real Madrid's attacking system at the back.
Xia Xing, on the other hand, came from the left to the right.
This adjustment is the most important.
Facing Ronaldo, who is at the peak of his game, in Mourinho's heart, only Xia Xing can be sure to prevent him at the moment.
After all, this is a contest between two generations of supergiants.
Seeing Xia Xing come to him, Ronaldo frowned slightly.
recalled the first time the two met when Xia Xing played for Leicester City.
Xia Xing, who was fledgling at that time, actually let his attack be directly interrupted.
Although the two did not play each other last season, Ronaldo also paid attention to Xia Xing's top performance in the Premier League and the Europa League.
And in the friendly match half a month ago, the two also had a lot of contact.
However, Xia Xing did not personally defend Ronaldo at that time, so Ronaldo was not deeply touched.
But today, Ronaldo looked at Xia Xing in front of him and was a little dizzy.
This guy seems to be a lot stronger?
And it seems to have grown taller?
sprinting on the left side with the ball, Xia Xing was directly stuck in the position and squeezed Ronaldo away!
The first confrontation, Xia Xing wins!
Ronaldo frowned.
He didn't burst out with all his strength just now, after all, he had just recovered from his injury and didn't want to be injured.
But even so, a breakthrough actually made Xia Xing completely squeezed out of the position, which made Ronaldo very unhappy.
Boy, I'm not old, I still belong to my time!
Don't rush to get on top, boy!
In the eyes of Ronaldo, who is full of Golden Globe awards, Xia Xing's honor is definitely not enough.
Cristiano Ronaldo then tried to get past the left more often.
And Xia Xing followed him inch by inch.
When facing other teams, Xia Xing rarely does this.
The man-to-man defence of one after the other, which is a big loss for Manchester United.
After all, Xia Xing is the organizational core of Manchester United, the offensive and defensive hub, and one person can be used as two or three people.
Now, it's different.
Manchester United had a two-goal lead and it was enough to win the game.
Before Ronaldo came on the pitch, Real Madrid's overall form was not as good as Manchester United's.
So even if Xia Xing sacrifices his usefulness and defends against Ronaldo alone, it is enough!
In particular, Mourinho arranged for him to go to the right side, and his intentions are self-evident.
In the face of Ronaldo's onslaught, Xia Xing went all out to keep an eye on it!
Cristiano Ronaldo just passed and paid a little attention to his injury problems, and now he has completely let go!
It's like a duel between two martial arts masters, whoever wants to keep his hand will die!
Cristiano Ronaldo pedals his bicycle on the left side!
Valencia wanted to step forward to help defend, but Xia Xing directly waved his hand to signal him to retreat.
It's okay, give him to me, you guarantee a solid formation!
Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly accelerated!
Xia Xing was thrown off half a step!
But it doesn't matter, Xia Xing goes directly to the body!
I can't break the ball, but I can knock people away!
This defensive method made Ronaldo lose the ball again in an instant.
The referee has not yet said anything.
Reasonable collision!
After all, just now Ronaldo had a big ball, and the ball was not under his complete control, it was a five-five scramble, and Xia Xing did not foul!
Ronaldo is annoyed, but he's not dead-headed.
After a succession of fruitless passes, he began to seek the cooperation of his teammates.
Although Ronaldo's individual ability is excellent, he is also a member of the Real Madrid battleship and has a high degree of cooperation with his teammates.
Knock on the cross to Kroos, Kroos crosses to Modric diagonally.
Luka Modric splits the ball to Bale on the right.
Bell kicks up!
Shoot the far corner with your left foot!
De Gea slammed his save and smashed the ball out with one palm!
Wonderful defense!
There was another round of applause in the stands!
The applause is for David De Gea and for the United defence.
A few passes from Real Madrid just now were blocked by Manchester United players.
Even if he let Bale shoot with his feet, he tried his best to block the angle and not give the opponent too much time to adjust.
If Bale had been given a thorough adjustment to his shot, it would have been difficult to save even if De Gea had chosen his position.
And behind all this, there is the credit of Xia Xing.
He completely wrapped up Ronaldo, so that his teammates went all out to defend other players.
As time went on, both sides ran out of substitutions.
The fourth official raised his card and gave three minutes of stoppage time.
The game is coming to an end.
Real Madrid are still two goals down, and this title has basically nothing to do with them.
But even so, Ronaldo is still running desperately.
Finally, he found another opportunity...... (End of chapter)
