Chapter 163: The offensive is in full swing
Chapter 163: The offensive is like a tide
The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium rarely has such a restless moment, and Real Madrid fans call themselves aristocratic fans, and the aristocracy naturally has to be different from the group of workers.
But football is not an aristocratic sport, and when it comes to unleashing passion, Real Madrid's aristocratic fans use the same way as they do.
Therefore, they also hope to cheer up the Real Madrid players and make the Manchester United players feel intimidated with the shouts of tens of thousands of people.
There is a clear difference between home and away records in many teams, with home records often being better than away records. Of course, there will be many reasons for this, there are factors such as the referee's care for the home team, and perhaps some factors that are more familiar with the field, but it is undeniable that psychological factors also account for a considerable proportion.
Although there are only 11 players on both sides of the field, the players of the home team will have the feeling that they are their own people in the hearts of the players, and this feeling may make the players more brave and more committed when they are fighting. The away team's players may be intimidated by the momentum of the home team's stands and not be able to play to their usual strength.
The Real Madrid players felt this way at the moment, and with the support of more than 80,000 people in the stadium, they walked into this stadium with their heads held high and with great confidence.
And many players on Manchester United's side are looking left and right, looking at this famous stadium. The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium was built by the president of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, who had only been in office for one year at the time, and construction began on October 27, 1944, and was officially inaugurated on December 14, 1947, initially under the name Estadio Chamartin, followed by the first match against Os Belenenses of Portugal. On January 4, 1955, the club officially named the stadium Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in honor of the indispensable chairman of the Bernabeu, and the club's capacity was subsequently increased, in 1952 it had a capacity of up to 120,000 people, and then the stadium had to be renovated on a large scale to become the venue for the 1982 World Cup, but in the 80s, there were many stadium accidents, so UEFA ordered most of the stadium to be converted from standing to full seats. After 1982, three major renovations were carried out, and the number of people living in the house dropped to the current 80,000. Since 2005, the Santiago Bernabeu has been awarded a five-star stadium by UEFA, which means that the stadium can be used as the venue for the final of the European Champions Cup.
Looking up from the field, the pressure brought by the huge stands, the roars of Real Madrid players on both sides, and being in such a center of more than 80,000 people full of hostility, this pressure made many Manchester United players nervous.
Li Qingshan was not nervous, he won here many times when he was in La Liga, and the boos caused by the fans never had any effect on him.
No matter how many fans there are, no matter how loud the decibels of boos, it is impossible for the other side to come up and play football with more than 80,000 people....
Li Qingshan naturally thought so. Returning to Spain made him feel some familiar feelings, and at this time, Li Qingshan suddenly wanted to have a little sense of ceremony........
Just then, the camera locked on him, and he raised his hand mischievously and greeted the surrounding Real Madrid fans.
"Uh.......... Li Qingshan suddenly waved towards the stands of Real Madrid........ Maybe there are his friends in the stands..."In the live broadcast room of CCTV, Duan Xuan was taken aback by Li Qingshan's sudden move, it is not a wise thing to provoke the opposing party's fans at this time, Duan Xuan subconsciously wanted to help Li Qingshan get over, but the fans in the stands were destined to not hear Duan Xuan's words, and even if they did, they couldn't understand Chinese........
"Li Qingshan is provoking the stands of the Bernabeu! It's not a good idea, the Real Madrid fans will let him know!! The Spanish commentator said this, of course he thought that Li Qingshan's move was a provocation!
Sure enough, the Real Madrid fans in the stands also thought so, and they responded to Li Qingshan's provocation against them with crazy boos and scolding.
Hummels, who was walking in front of Li Qingshan, turned around and whispered, "It's not good for us to mess with them, Li... It's going to make it harder for you to play. ”
Li Qingshan spread out his hand, pointed to his ear and said: "There is such a saying in our China, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, no matter how loud they shout, it will have no effect on me." ”
Hummels rolled his eyes, Li Qingshan was not affected, but he didn't know if the other Manchester United players were affected.
........
In the handshake between the two sides, almost every Real Madrid player stared at Li Qingshan for a while, speaking of which Li Qingshan is really Real Madrid's nightmare over the years, but I didn't expect that after he left La Liga, Real Madrid would meet him again in the Champions League.
Ronaldo is also staring at this new opponent who has emerged in the past two or three years, he doesn't want Messi's speed, dribbling, passing, and shooting at the top level, but this guy can score goals, as long as he keeps passing the ball into the air, Li Qingshan has a way to send the ball into the goal.
Such a high-school striker who relied on headers in Ronaldo's opinion was a little outdated, but he kept scoring goals, making it impossible for everyone to ignore him.
Ronaldo couldn't ignore the opponent in front of him, he stared at Li Qingshan for a while, and then stretched out his hand, when the two sides shook hands, the unprepared Li Qingshan was pinched by Ronaldo.
Fortunately, the two did not shake hands for a long time, and Ronaldo quickly let go, otherwise the picture of the two men holding hands and looking at each other ........ It's a little exciting to think about.
Li Qingshan grinned and shook his pinched painful palm, which was yin by the Portuguese............
Ronaldo was a little proud, and he had the upper hand in the first meeting between the two sides in this game.
The secret battle between the two top superstars of the two sides did not attract the attention of the camera, and various commentators took advantage of this time to start introducing the starting lineups of both sides.
Compared to the previous leg, Real Madrid only made changes at right-back, with Danilo replaced by Carvajal. As for Manchester United, despite Herrera's return from injury, Carlo Ancelotti still chose the veteran Carrick to start, and under the protection of Kramer and Fellaini, Carrick will take on the responsibility of the team's midfield in this game, Carrick is obviously more experienced than Herrera, in addition, Manchester United's starting line-up is the same as the last time the two sides met.
The camera shows Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane. Zidane stood on the sidelines with a grim expression, and it looked like the game was not going to be easy for him.
At this time, the camera found Florentino in the VIP seat of the stands, and Florentino was full of spring, because sitting next to him was the young King Felipe VI of Spain, who ascended the throne in 2014.
Even the king was invited to the stands of the Bernabeu by Fren's opponent, which shows Florentino's energy in Spain.
For Florentino, choosing Zidane, who has no experience in coaching the first team of Europe's top five leagues, to coach Real Madrid is undoubtedly under a lot of pressure, especially after last season's empty-handed season, Zidane's position in Real Madrid is not very stable.
Despite Real Madrid's good form this season, their main rivals in La Liga, Barcelona, are also in good form, with Barcelona three points ahead of Real Madrid in the league standings.
Now in the Champions League, Real Madrid has to face a strong rival Manchester United, if the Champions League is eliminated and the league cannot win the championship, Real Madrid's members will even question Florentino's ability to receive Real Madrid, and then Florentino will have to abandon the car to protect the coach even if he likes Zidane again.
Therefore, this game is still very stressful for Zidane, once he can't get past Manchester United, he will be eliminated in the Champions League, and it is even possible that he will be sacked before the season is over.
You know, in European football, there is still a super-famous head coach at home - the possibility of Mourinho entering the palace Real Madrid for the second time is not groundless.
Under Zidane's mentality, Real Madrid also launched a fierce offensive against Manchester United in the opening stage.
Just one minute into the opening game, Ronaldo and others began to press and grab the ball at Manchester United's feet.
Manchester United's side had intended to take advantage of the kick-off to settle down and then look at the holes in Real Madrid's defence, but under Real Madrid's high pressing, the United players had to pass the ball all the way to De Gea's feet.
Even if it reached the goalkeeper's feet, it was not very safe, because Real Madrid's centre-forward Benzema still killed all the way, and De Gea had to pass the ball to the side and to the left wing-back Sandro.
Before Sandro could stop the ball, Bale had already rushed to the ball, and in a hurry, Sandro cleared the ball with a big foot, but the ball hit Bale and then bounced to his foot and went out of the line.
Less than a minute into the game, Real Madrid won a corner!!
"Real Madrid were aggressive from the start, they forced Sandro to clear the ball with a ferocious high press, and gave Real Madrid a corner!! Manchester United must brace themselves to deal with Real Madrid's onslaught in the opening stages!! Duan Xuan said worriedly in the live broadcast room.
"That's right!! That's it!!! We're going to play with momentum at home!! The Spanish commentator was excited to applaud Real Madrid's performance.
The Real Madrid fans in the stands also immediately burst into cheers, applauding and cheering for the Real Madrid frontcourt players who spared no effort to press.
...........
Real Madrid's corner did not threaten, but the clearance from Manchester United's side still fell to the feet of the Real Madrid players, and Real Madrid continued to attack.
In the second minute of the game, Real Madrid rushed through Marcelo on the left side with the ball, and then passed the ball to Kroos after attracting the defense, Kroos did not stop the ball, and passed directly to the right side where the defense was relatively weak!
Welsh superstar Gareth Bale accelerated and dribbled into the box before smashing his foot into the net from a tight angle.
De Gea didn't dare to catch it with his hands in the face of such a powerful shot, he blocked the ball with both fists and slotted it out of the box.
Modric, who was outside the penalty area, didn't wait for the football to hit the ground, so he directly picked up a kick and volleyed!!
Fortunately, De Gea reacted in time, he reached out and lifted the ball out of the bottom line!!
Real Madrid continue to serve corners!!
"Real Madrid's attack was ferocious from the start, and the United defence looked a little flustered under the onslaught of Real Madrid's attack, and in just two minutes, Real Madrid had already forced David De Gea to make two thrilling saves!!
"If Manchester United think they can easily beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, they are very wrong!! Real Madrid's attacking prowess can be seen from these two minutes!! ”
When Modric went to take a corner, the usually low-key Croatian even waved his hands and encouraged the fans to make louder decibels in support of the team.
And the Real Madrid fans in the stands naturally responded with even bigger cheers.
From the very beginning, the game seemed to bring the stands to a climax, and the Real Madrid fans applauded Real Madrid's performance loudly, and in their opinion, if they continued to attack like this, United's defense would be broken down sooner or later.
...........
Real Madrid's attack continued until the fifth minute of the game, and it was still difficult for Manchester United's side to stabilize the situation, and Real Madrid attacked like a tide.
In the sixth minute, Bale drove the ball forward at high speed on the wing and then passed the ball to the feet of Kroos in the middle.
Kroos shielded the ball from Kramer's defence and passed it to Luka Modric.
Luka Modric faced Carrick's up-and-coming defence and crossed into the box.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been cruising and running, had been waiting for such an opportunity for a long time, and he accelerated to shake off Valencia and Fellaini, and by the way, he also passed Hummels, who turned to defend, and stretched his leg in the box to stop the ball.
"Cristiano Ronaldo single-handedly !!" The shrill voices of the narrators came from the television. The fans in front of the TV, whether it was Manchester United or Real Madrid, had already left their seats, leaning forward, ready to jump from their seats.
De Gea immediately abandoned the goal and pounced on Cristiano Ronaldo, shortening the distance between him and Ronaldo as much as possible and compressing the angle of Ronaldo's shot.
Cristiano Ronaldo was also quick to react, stopping the ball on his right foot and not stopping, aiming for the back post and volleying straight away.
Cristiano Ronaldo!!!!!!!! 11”
The narrator's voice went up a notch.
However, just as Real Madrid was about to celebrate the goal, De Gea reacted quickly, stretched out a kick, and blocked the ball with his foot!!
De Gea!!! Wow!! Reacting quickly, he blocked Cristiano Ronaldo's almost inevitable shot with his feet!! ”
"Wow!! David De Gea saves Manchester United!! ”
"Just a little bit!! Just a little bit!! ”
"Real Madrid are just a few centimeters away from scoring!!!"
