Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Midfielders: Khedira, Alonso, Di Maria.

Forwards: Kaka, Benzema, Suker.

Arsenal (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Defenders: Koscielny, Klich, Djuru, Sagna.

Midfielders: Rosicky, Cesc Fabregas, Wilshere.

Forwards: Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie, Nasri.

The game lasts 5 minutes.

"Real Madrid maintained a relatively cautious defensive formation from the start of the game, with Arsenal coming up with a technical midfield line-up, with Rosicky, Cesc Fabregas and Wilshere in midfield, and Nasri and Theo Walcott on the wings."

'Even though Arsenal had more possession and more initiative, they were more on the left and right and didn't have too good chances to get forward, and Cesc Fabregas was constantly looking for chances!'

Shut up!

Cesc Fabregas couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Which eye did this cracker see that they were in control?

To have the ball is to take the initiative?

Real Madrid's tactic is that they don't need much possession, but this does not dare to make Arsenal dare to rush forward frequently, they are more tentative.

There is no way!

Every breakthrough is inevitably accompanied by a combined strangulation of Real Madrid's midfield and backfield.

Tackles are not a problem, once Real Madrid are allowed to play a counter-attack, with the ability of this guy Suker, Arsenal's goal is dangerous.

To that end, Cesc Fabregas was more cautious with his usual passes.

He's got to perform, he's got to win this game!

Cesc Fabregas is constantly observing, and he wants to create a simpler attacking environment.

But the key is Mourinho's shit. This guy's dense defense just doesn't give any holes, and he can't find his teammates by stuffing the ball forward.

If it is forced to pass through, the two full-backs, Srna and Marcelo, will be able to hit the ball.

There was also Marcos Alonso in midfield.

These guys are capable of hitting the counter-attacking ball with one kick, and Fabregas needs to be more cautious for that.

Bang!

Under Alonso's confrontation, Cesc Fabregas reluctantly poked the ball to his team-mate on his toes.

Damn it!

The pressure is still so high!

Cesc Fabregas couldn't help but complain secretly.

By the time he turned his head to look at the wing, Nasri was already charging towards the wing.

Chances?

Cesc Fabregas moved closer behind Nasri, offering a guarantee that he could pass back even if he couldn't break through.

Nasri made several attempts in a row, but Srna just couldn't get his feet and kept pulling him towards the bottom line on the wing.

At the same time, he pinched the inside passage and kept an eye on Nasri's cross.

"Fuck!"

Nasri couldn't help but curse irritably, and then turned his head and passed back.

"Sesk!"

Cesc Fabregas subconsciously looked up before stopping the ball.

It's also a habit as a midfielder.

Just when he saw that Di Maria was already rushing towards him.

Cesc Fabregas didn't stop the ball directly, but hooked the ball with the arch of his foot and turned to complete the transfer.

But the moment he turned around, he slammed into Suke's body.

"Grab it!"

Suke yelled.

Di Maria took the opportunity to poke the ball out.

"Well done!"

Suker slammed down on Cesc Fabregas and turned to chase the ball.

Cesc Fabregas's center of gravity was unstable and he couldn't chase back at the first time, and he yelled: "Wilshere! ”

Wilshire rushed ferociously at Suke.

Sooke ran in front of the ball first, turned his head to look at Kaka, and made a pass.

Wilshire subconsciously leaned sideways to the right.

Suker took advantage of a left-footed V-shaped pull to get rid of Wilshere and strode towards Arsenal's penalty area.

"Wilshere has been passed and Arsenal's backline is in danger!"

Suker sprinted straight towards the Arsenal backline.

At this time, Benzema also slammed into the big penalty area.

On both sides, Kaka and Di Maria also stepped forward.

At this moment, Benzema turned his head to observe, and instead of advancing and retreating, he broke away from the defense line and took the initiative to run towards Suke.

Krish, who was about to rush towards Suke, also noticed this scene.

Suker towards Benzema for the ball.

"Watch out for them over one!"

Klich and Sagna slammed into Benzema.

Don't let him turn around.

As long as he can't turn, Benzema can't make a one-two, and the passing angle is not enough.

But Benzema was carrying the two men on his shoulder, and he nudged the arch of his foot towards the position in front of Suker.

The Arsenal defenders slammed their heads.

It's back to making balls!

Just as they looked up, Suke was already taking small steps at his feet, finishing his adjustments, facing the ball and slamming his right foot into it.

The ball was close to the ground and flew straight towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny was in a position close to the right and he jerked out his leg.

Bang.

The ball was blocked.

"Break the siege!"

Szczesny threw his head up and yelled, and at this time, he could not get up immediately.

At that moment, he saw a white shadow appear in front of the ball.

Facing the ball in mid-air, with a slight tap of the head, the ball went into the net.

“Gooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!!!!”

"Kaka!! In 12 minutes of play, Kaka scored with a supplementary shot! ”

"That's Real Madrid's counter-attacking ability, after stealing and stabbing the ball from Di Maria, Suker broke through in the middle, Benzema acted as the fulcrum wall, passed the ball back to Suker, completed this shot, and Kaka rushed to the spot where the ball landed and helped Real Madrid score the first goal!"

"Now Arsenal are in danger, they are once again pulled away when they have no advantage."

"Wonderful counterattack, Real Madrid leads Arsenal 1-0!"

The scene was thunderous.

Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans, the Real Madrid players are celebrating.

Suk rubbed Kaka's hair vigorously, and the others hugged Kaka in celebration.

Benzema said with an uplifted face; "How's my ball?"

"Awesome!"

Su Ke immediately gave a thumbs up and quickly added; "Karim's passing is so comfortable!"

Hearing this, Benzema showed a proud expression.

Look!

That's the success of training, not just the nose in front of goal, but also the combination between him and Suker.

"I'll pass the ball next time!"

"Then I'll give you a thumbs up!"

"I'll help you get your hat-trick!"

"Good brother! You are my own brother! ”

The two walked away shoulder to shoulder.

Srna looked at this scene and shook her head helplessly; "Has Karim forgotten the fact that he is a striker himself!"

Srna felt that Benzema had been fooled and lame by Suke.

A center forward who doesn't pursue shots and actually likes assists?

What the is that?

Kaka smiles; "I feel very good, at least the stability of the team is more sufficient, someone is a red flower, someone has to be a green leaf, someone is the protagonist, someone is a supporting role!"

"But the supporting characters can also be exciting!"

Srna turned his head with a strange expression.

He forgot that this thing was the first guy to be brainwashed by Suke.

Real Madrid have a one-goal lead.

The Arsenal players looked grim.

It's still three goals.

Only three away goals are needed to qualify for the next round.

It didn't change much.

However, looking at Real Madrid's counterattack, they were extremely helpless.

How the hell is this going to be defended!

Szczesny did his best to keep out Suker's shot, but Kaka had a follow-up finish.

It feels like Real Madrid have too many attacking options!

Arsene Wenger tapped an eyebrow.

He stopped rubbing, which didn't relieve the symptoms.

Headache!

It's a big headache!

itself is disadvantaged, and now it is the first to concede, which makes Arsenal's winning rate less than one.

Arsene Wenger turned his head to look at the bench again.

No one!

He's a little nostalgic for Arsenal.

At that time, his main starters were Thierry Henry, Pire, and Bergkamp.

There are still Fabregas, Van Persie and other demons on the bench, and it can be said that he can play a lot of changes, but now, he has no way to change the lineup.

In the last game, the midfielders didn't play too well to limit Suker.

To that end, Arsene Wenger fielded a large number of technical midfielders in this game with the aim of taking control.

But they controlled the ball, but the rhythm was still carried by Real Madrid.

They are at a disadvantage in their own right, and they are playing away from home.

It's all or nothing!

Arsene Wenger turned his head to look at the pitch with a grim expression.

Let's go for someone!

Give Robin a good ball and let us get a goal and see a glimmer of hope for victory.

All it takes is one goal!

Arsene Wenger clenched his fists hard.

The game resumes.

Arsenal's attack has become even more frenetic.

In particular, with the four technical midfielders, their attacking linkage is a little rougher, but more aggressive.

But this chaotic rhythm has caused some confusion in Real Madrid's backline.

"Steady! Steady! ”

Srna kept reminding.

"Ramos! Pull back some, you're too far ahead! ”

"Pepe! If it's not a card, then collect some dangerous moves! ”

Srna felt like she was about to become a babysitter.

Ramos and Pepe are really fucking disobedient.

One is more stubborn than the other!

Su Ke's stubbornness is based on strengths, and he is very smart.

But these two goods are stubborn!

I don't care about anything, once I get angry, I report it on the spot!

Bang!

Sure enough, Pepe made a sliding tackle and knocked Nasri, who was dangling in front of him, to the ground.

Pepe was booked for a set-piece and awarded a set-piece.

"There's no need!"

Srna was helpless.

After all, it didn't stop.

"It's necessary!"

Pepe grimaced.

Srna thought that this guy had his own reasons, but he didn't expect this guy's next sentence to almost break his defense.

"Give it to him, I'm happy! I can't hold back and play football! ”

Srna gritted her teeth.

Damn it!

You guys kick cool, Lao Tzu always wipes your ass.

"Don't be like him." Ramos patted Srner on the shoulder; "That's what he is."

Srna's silence is deafening!

You're not better!

A set-piece in front of Arsenal and Real Madrid's players drop back to defend.

Arsenal took the set-piece very seriously and sent a number of forces involved in the aerial contest.

Soon, Cesc Fabregas was on the move.

Bang!

The ball curves from the right side to the left.

The Arsenal players pushed forward and the Real Madrid backline was left in rotation.

At this moment, a hole appeared in the position of the back point.

Or rather, Van Persie ran into a gap.

"!"

Srna immediately abandoned Nasri and rushed towards Van Persie.

But this guy doesn't stop the ball!

Van Persie jumped lightly and padded against the falling ball.

He slotted the ball straight into the back of the net.

29 minutes.

Arsenal scored.

Real Madrid 1:1 Arsenal!

"Oh~~~~ Van Persie, the Dutch center forward opened the scoring in this game, and it was still the iconic non-stop shot!"

'Van Persie's goal gave Arsenal some hope and Pepe received a yellow card, so Arsenal's attack could be tilted towards Pepe'

Before he could finish speaking, a whistle blew in the stadium.

Real Madrid substitutions.

"Substitution! Do you want to change people now? ”

The narrator, Gonzalez, was a little surprised.

In the shot, Carvalho stands on the sidelines.

Pepe goes off and Carvalho comes on.

And the camera also captured Mourinho's gloomy expression, looking at Pepe like a blade scraping bones.

Jose Mourinho will not allow any problems at the back.

Of course, there is no way for the opponent's fairy ball and the world wave.

But don't be stupid!

Especially Pepe, like this foul, took the initiative to give the opponent a well-positioned set-piece.

In fact, Mourinho has been very patient with Pepe, and if it were someone else, he would probably have been pressed to the bench.

But this guy is still stupid, which makes Mourinho particularly angry.

Real Madrid's substitution this time made Gonzalez sigh; 'Jose Mourinho was too cautious, in fact, even if Pepe stayed on the pitch, he only needed to hold on for 20 minutes to make a midfield substitution, and there was no need to make a direct substitution in the first half.

Clearly, Gonzérez did not know the lessons that Mourinho had learned at Inter.

A guy named Balotelli came back with a red card for Mourinho in a minute, leaving him with no striker available.

After suffering such a loss, Mourinho is as if he was under pressure in this regard, and he is extremely vigilant.

Like an uncontrollable guy like Pepe, he will never stay on the pitch to give Arsenal a chance to target.

Pepe was substituted, and he was a little confused.

However, he also knew that he had a yellow card, so he had a reason to be substituted, and he did not have a seizure for this.

Mourinho looked at Pepe with a cold face the whole time, and he didn't mean to say hello at all.

Clearly, Pepe Mourinho off.

Su Ke also saw this scene, but Su Ke also shook his head at this.

If he is reasonable, Suke can also help Pepe get an explanation.

But he was stupid first, and Su Ke couldn't help it.

So, Pepe has to take a cue for this guy.

Although this probability cannot be realized.

Pepe came off and Carvalho came off the bench.

Carvalho is a solid defender who can afford to lag behind.

Not only does this allow Ramos to get up with impunity, but it also frees up Srna from having to wipe the butt of the two 'problem' centre-backs.

However, Carvalho has just come on the pitch and Real Madrid still have the advantage, so Real Madrid is still defensive-oriented.

It has proven difficult for Real Madrid to break through their defence when they don't have problems internally.

Although Arsenal tried various attacking methods, they were cleared by Real Madrid again and again.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Cesc Fabregas turned to the clock, where time was running out of time in the first half.

"Wait for the second half, let's continue!"

Cesc Fabregas exhaled slowly.

After the whole first half, they felt like they were still playing.

After all, a goal has already been scored, so they just need to put more pressure on Real Madrid, and they will make mistakes in the meantime.

The first half of the game is over.

Live matches 1:1.

On aggregate, Real Madrid 3:1 Arsenal.

'Arsenal have to score two goals to qualify for the next leg of the Champions League, but Real Madrid played solidly, defensively and scored in the first half through a mistake by Real Madrid, so can they get more chances in the second half?'

The British commentator looked forward to it; 'But after the first half, Arsenal still had chances and let's look forward to their performance in the second half.'

In the dressing room, Arsene Wenger tapped on the tactical board and said:

"In the second half, the first ten minutes defended! And be sure to hold on! ”

Hearing this, the Arsenal players showed puzzlement.

"Professor, we played very well offensively, why defend? As long as we put pressure on Real Madrid and make mistakes and we can still score! ”

Nasri said.

The others also nodded in agreement.

To this, Wenger sighed; "Didn't you find out? Aside from the beginning, Suker hasn't been able to exert his strength, is he watching his teammates defend passively on the pitch? No! This is Mourinho's special instruction to keep Suker fit and ready to give us a lethal blow in the second half! ”

"The first ten minutes of the second half were definitely Real Madrid's strongest attack, you have to hold on! And wait for an opportunity to find a counterattack. ”

"Song! Coming on in place of Nasri in the second half, your task is to keep an eye on Suker, don't care about the ball, don't care about the others, just keep an eye on Suker for me, you go wherever he goes, understand? ”

Alexander. Song immediately nodded and said loudly: "Understood!" ”

On the other side, Real Madrid's dressing room.

'In the second half we had to play and Arsenal spent a lot of energy in the first half and it gave our strikers plenty of time to rest.

Bang!

Mourinho patted the tactical board; "In the second half, let's get our forwards running!"

"I also want to emphasize that even if Arsenal makes some adjustments, you don't have to scruple, you must be resolute in attacking and even counterattacking, don't be afraid of confrontation, and tear apart Arsenal's defense with the most powerful means!"

Mourinho said in a deep voice.

He thinks Arsene Wenger has probably guessed his thoughts.

After all, he did it so obviously.

But still the same sentence!

What if you know?

Who can stop Suke?
