Chapter 64, Real Madrid at home
The Bernabeu is perhaps the most recognisable stadium in the world.
There are steep six-storey stands.
As the fans filled the stands, gazing at the stadium almost from a bird's-eye stance.
Everyone can feel the pressure on this stadium.
Countless Real Madrid fans wore white jerseys and waved white scarves.
Real Madrid fans are proud.
They proclaimed themselves nobles.
Aristocracy on the football field.
Speaking of which.
The football cultures of Spain and England are very different.
Modern football originated in England.
The movement of the working class that accompanied the Industrial Revolution.
Many of the teams were originally made up of workers from various factories.
The most famous is Arsenal.
Their predecessors were a team of workers from the arsenal that produced guns.
So their nickname is the arsenal.
On their team crest.
The emblem of the cannon was also retained.
The same goes for Manchester United and Liverpool.
But Spain is different.
Spain was the first country to usher in the Age of Discovery.
They lived comfortably on the gold of South America for hundreds of years.
So they don't have much incentive to develop any kind of hard industry.
Therefore, football has become the plaything of the aristocracy in Spain.
Working-class people have fun in their leisure time.
The Spanish played it like the Colosseum in ancient Rome, and the nobles enjoyed the gladiators' gladiatorial sports.
Most of the teams in Spain are membership-based.
The fans who come to see the game are theoretically really the owners of the team.
So when Real Madrid's players don't perform well.
Real Madrid fans will be unceremoniously booed.
And now the game hasn't started yet.
Although said.
At the Bernabeu and Arsenal, the decibels of cheers and boos heard by the players were quite loud.
But compared to what is heard in England;
A little less wild.
So much so that many young Arsenal players who came to this stadium for the first time looked around.
They had a lot of imagination about the Bernabeu before that.
But I didn't expect it.
Really came here when I came.
But I think.
Bernabeu.
Somewhat excessively
The quality of the writing is polite.
The camera lens for the first time to find the key figures of the game.
Arsenal captain Yelo, who led the team at the front.
And Cristiano standing at the back of the line. Ronaldo.
A number 10.
A number 7.
They are undoubtedly the biggest focus of this game.
Both of them didn't look at each other when they shook hands.
Ye Luo is fine.
He didn't have any special feelings about Cristiano Ronaldo.
So the mind is very peaceful.
Cristiano Ronaldo looks a little hostile.
The so-called handshake.
It's just that the tips of the fingers of the two people touched each other and quickly separated. οΌ
The end of the TV follows them all the time.
The commentator of Radio Marca was very excited to see the situation: "Cristiano. Ronaldo is full of fighting spirit! As long as he gets serious, no opponent can beat Real Madrid! β
Madridians undoubtedly have a lot of trust in Cristiano Ronaldo.
He is Real Madrid's number one player.
The last time the two sides met, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who scored a valuable away goal for Real Madrid!
But it's a pity that Yelo killed Real Madrid in that game.
In terms of goals.
Ronaldo can't be compared to Yelo.
But the number of goals scored is Ronaldo's biggest advantage.
He was the one in charge of the final shot in Real Madrid's tactical system β a role that is not insignificant.
But compared to Yelo's tactical importance at Arsenal, it pales in comparison.
After all, Yelo is in Arsenal's tactics, not just the goalkeeper responsible for the last shot.
He also has a lot of tactical tasks such as pulling, passing, receiving, passing, pressing, etc.
The roles of the two are completely different.
But that's something that only the professional coaches and players know.
As for the fans.
The main thing everyone is concerned about is the goal.
But even so.
Cristiano Ronaldo can't compare to Yelo in terms of goals.
And Real Madrid fans are convinced.
Cristiano Ronaldo will surely respond in this game.
This is Real Madrid's home turf.
And the opponent lacked a major general, almost half disabled.
What is there to be afraid of?
The two sides completed the final various pre-match ceremonies,
Line up and shake hands.
Photograph.
Flags were exchanged.
Then there is the guessing of the coin.
As a result, in this link, Yelo lost to Casillas.
Real Madrid won the right to pick sides.
Arsenal got the kick-off.
This is exactly what Ye Luo wanted.
Because this is the Bernabeu,.
The quality of the turf and the various conditions are top-notch.
There is no problem with the yin and yang court in the evening game.
There is little point in picking the edge.
On the contrary, it is the right to kick off that Ye Luo attaches more importance to.
Because it means that the game can be attacked against the opponent's goal from the start.
Everything is ready to go.
Ye Luo stepped on the ball under his feet.
Yelo watched Casillas' back towards his goal.
Suddenly turned his head and whispered to Mahrez.
Facing the big boss of the team, Mahrez hurriedly came over and obeyed the order.
"We'll attack first when we come up, your position"
Yelo gave Mahrez the route.
After the explanation.
Mahrez nodded repeatedly.
Then he asked, "Wouldn't that be a bit risky?" β
"No, not at all, because we want them to know something."
"What's the matter?"
"We."
Yelo smiled and looked at Mahrez and said.
"I'm not here as a guest!"
After Ye Luo said this, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.
He kicked the ball straight to Mahrez.
Then run forward on your own.
Mahrez passed the ball back in strict accordance with Yelo's instructions.
Ye Luo received the ball and went straight forward with the ball!
"Ye Luo directly dribbled the ball forward?"
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was stunned.
Now 11 Real Madrid players are at the back.
Arsenal's players are yet to come up.
Now in the front field Arsenal on. Two players only.
There was another player who was Riyad Mahrez, who was jogging forward along the wing.
Ye Luo rushed forward directly with the ball, which was indeed not a very good choice.
The Real Madrid players clearly didn't expect Yelo to play like that.
So after Yelo got past Benzema and the outcast.
They were scrambling to set up the defense.
However, the Real Madrid players are not in a hurry.
Because the horizontal and vertical is Ye Luo alone.
Di Maria killed him directly on the side.
He didn't make a tackle.
Because he didn't feel the need to foul.
Just stick to Ye Luo.
Interfere with him.
Other Real Madrid players can come up and break the ball cleanly.
Di Maria thought it was quite good.
But at the moment when he killed.
Ye Luo suddenly activated.
Dribble the ball towards the middle,
Let him and the full-back CoentrΓ£o who rushed up together almost collide with him!
Ye Luo carries the ball forward.
At this point, there were only two lines of defense left in front of him!
The two midfielders Khedira and Xavi Alonso.
There are also three defenders.
Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo.
It stands to reason.
This is a five-defense and one-defense situation.
But.
The momentum of Ye Luo's direct breakthrough before was too amazing.
The Real Madrid players, who were originally very calm, were also a little panicked.
Boos rang out from the stands.
"Ye Luo has four people in a row!"
Andy Gray's voice was vaguely expectant.
He couldn't believe that Yelo could really dribble the ball into it.
But because Ye Luo has made too many miracles.
So Andy Gray didn't dare to say that Ye Luo's attack really ended here!
"Stop him!! Can't let him continue to dribble the ball! β
Radio Marca's commentary looked a little panicked, like the Real Madrid fans in the stands.
At this time, Ye Luo rushed into almost twenty meters with the ball.
It was only about 30 meters away from Real Madrid's goal.
This is already within Yelo's range.
Everyone knows how terrifying Yelo's long-range shot is!!
When I saw that Ye Luo had already opened his bow and arrows!
Khedira rushed forward in a bit of a panic.
The front sliding shovel came.
Brought up the dirt under the turf.
Even the white jersey on his body was instantly covered with mud.
However.
He didn't shovel anyone.
There was no tackle either.
Ye Luo's raised right foot was gently lowered.
The light jumped the ball up and jumped at the same time, jumping over Khedira's legs.
After landing, take the ball forward.
Seeing this, Xavi Alonso didn't dare to grab it directly, for fear of being directly rushed by Ye Luo with speed.
He fought and retreated.
While keeping a distance from Ye Luo.
His body also blocked Yelo's possible long-range shots.
It was clearly a wise choice, although he may not be as good as Khedira in one-on-one tackles.
But the overall situation and positional sense blow up his back partner.
He was keenly aware of the danger.
Then the most reasonable defense plan was chosen.
Xavi Alonso has been successful in buying time for the Real Madrid defensive line behind him.
Marcelo pounced and Xavi Alonso left and right, completely sealing the space for Yelo's long-range shot.
And behind them.
Ramos and Pepe are also on the lookout.
If Ye Luo continues to break through.
He's going to get into the pockets of four Real Madrid defenders.
However, Ye Luo did not continue to force the assault.
Although he was quite sure of making a free-kick.
But he has a better option.
That's passing!
In the middle of dribbling, he suddenly picked the ball on the tip of his right foot.
The soccer ball flew abruptly.
Flying under the armpit of Xavi Alonso.
Xavi Alonso, of course, did not dare to block the ball with his hands - deliberately handballed, in case of a red card, where to reason?
The ball took a clear arc to the right flank.
When everyone's attention was on Yelo's.
I don't know when.
Riyad Mahrez has reached the right flank.
He's unguarded!
Plug it in at high speed!
"Mahrez!!"
In the midst of the exclamations of the commentators.
Riyad Mahrez caught up with football.
Then he looked at the exclusion zone.
Direct Cross!!
At this time.
Ye Luo in the penalty area was plugged in at high speed.
Subsequently.
Leap high.
Beat Pepe and Ramos.
Header on goal!
"Ye Luo header!!"
The commentators exclaimed.
In the frightened cries of the fans at the scene.
Yelo's head the ball towards goal.
Casillas leaped high.
The tip of his finger touched the soccer ball slightly.
This saved Real Madrid!
The ball slammed into the crossbar and bounced back.
Just happened to be taken into the arms of the frightened Casillas.
Ye Luo was going to step forward to make a supplementary shot.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to smile at Casillas and calmly retreated.
The goal was not scored, although it was a little regrettable.
But it's just an attack.
Next, there are plenty of opportunities.
The entire Bernabeu stadium was intimidated by the attack led by Yelo.
Real Madrid fans almost thought their team was going to concede.
"Yelo header!! Ahhh Kathy! Casillas saved Real Madrid!! β
Andy Gray held his head in his hands, extremely regretful.
He's England's commentator and is certainly a team behind England in the Champions League.
"Ahhh What a pity! If this goal is scored, it will be a complete doom for Real Madrid! β
Duan Xuan was also holding his head in regret.
Holding his head with him were many Dragon Kingdom fans in front of the TV.
Originally, this point in time was too unfriendly for the fans of the Dragon Kingdom.
Many of the fans had just gotten out of their covers.
There are even quite a few who simply hold their mobile phones and stay in the bed to watch them.
This moment was a dying illness and sat up in shock.
All drowsiness was swept away.
"! it! it!! β
"I almost beat all the Real Madrid players by myself!!"
"It's awesome when this goal goes in!"
"It's a pity! What a pity! β
The drowsiness of the fans of the Dragon Kingdom was completely awakened by this ball.
"Ye Luo's condition is too good, Real Madrid is more than lucky in this game!" }
"Hehe, there was a dog media before that Real Madrid had won, come out and take two steps?"
"It's not that group of FA mouthpieces, who translated a few Madrid newspapers and dared to say that all foreign countries support Real Madrid, hehe."
"FA stupid!"
"FA big fool!"
At last.
Everyone's discussion began to lead to friendly and joyful activities of cordial greetings to the FA and the mouthpiece reporters represented by Ma Yanxin.
"The game has just begun, Yelo has passed several Real Madrid players in a row to enter Longtan alone, and the final header would have gone in if it wasn't for Casillas's divine save!!"
"Real Madrid must win?"
'Yelo showed amazing form from the start of the game, he almost scored the goal of Real Madrid!'
'It's the Arsenal fans who are sorry for the team now because they almost got off to a dream start, which is a real shame for Arsenal.
Real Madrid fans came back to their senses and were in shock.
But they also quickly found reasons to comfort themselves.
"It's okay, they're just a sneak attack!"
"It's good if you don't score!"
"This is their only chance for this game!"
Real Madrid fans are quite confident.
Their hearts that had just hung were put down.
began to hope that Real Madrid would slaughter Arsenal at home.
The next few minutes.
Real Madrid's attack was really impressive.
Real Madrid at home showed their quality.
Wave after wave of attacks made Arsenal barely able to lift their heads.
Real Madrid's fans were also completely relieved, the opponent's attack at the beginning was just an accident!
At the Bernabeu.
The protagonist will always be Real Madrid!
Before the game, everyone said not to underestimate Arsenal's counter-attack.
But these few minutes.
Arsenal is completely defensive.
There was no counterattack.
Andy Gray's tone also became worried: "Arsenal, who are short of major generals, have encountered unprecedented difficulties, and in the face of Real Madrid's onslaught at the Bernabeu, their defense will not last long. β
"Against a team like Real Madrid, there is no way out, they have too many stars who can change the situation of the game in an instant, Arsenal need to fight back!"
Don't stick to it.
And what about offense?
Now Arsenal's midfield can't grab the ball.
How to attack?
Yelo also found that Real Madrid was not the same as Real Madrid two seasons ago.
They become organized, more like a whole.
When Yelo came to the stadium two years ago.
At that time, Real Madrid could only be regarded as a team of stars.
The level of cooperation between the stars is very low.
But what about now?
Real Madrid is now completely one.
Players like Cristiano Ronaldo are also nested into such a system.
Everyone is a part of the system.
This is the foundation laid by Jose Mourinho.
Carlo Ancelotti followed suit.
No major changes have been made to this system.
This one Real Madrid.
Not to be underestimated!
