Chapter 162: Real Madrid is on the verge of winning
Chapter 162 Real Madrid is bound to win
Losing in a strong game is undoubtedly a big blow to the team's morale, especially as the whole team is looking forward to winning the league title sooner rather than later.
Fortunately, the team has built up a big enough advantage in the league that even if they lose a goal, they will not be too anxious and doppelganger in the crucial second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid.
After this game, the United team rushed back to their base camp overnight, but London is not too far from Manchester.
After returning to Manchester, Carlo Ancelotti announced the disbandment of the squad and the players adjusted a little for the day to rest at home.
After a half-day of recovery training on Sunday, the players will head to Madrid to put all their energy into the Champions League.
Before the start of this match, Madrid's media had already begun to mobilize, and for two days in a row, Real Madrid's two mouthpieces, Marca and As, both mouthpieces, called on fans to go to the stadium to support Real Madrid on the front page.
"The Bernabeu is going to be hell for the Red Devils!! Let's unite and fight to the end for the team! ”
'It was a game that was a goal down from the start, but at the Bernabeu we were able to complete the comeback !!'
"The Champions League is a battlefield for Real Madrid to chase glory, and Real Madrid at the Bernabeu will be feared by all opponents!!"
Falling behind by one goal is not too difficult a challenge for Real Madrid, a team that will be the strongest in the world if they play well – they have the best players in the world in every position, and this is a team with a super luxurious squad.
And the score of 0-1 down away is also quite common in the Champions League, and there are many examples of comebacks in the second leg after falling behind, so for Real Madrid, the most important thing for them is to play their offensive strength at their own home, and scoring goals is not too difficult for this team.
...........
On 13 April, the entire Manchester United squad arrived in Madrid by plane.
Compared to the bravery of the Madrid media, Manchester United's players are much more confident.
In the face of the crowd of reporters at Madrid Airport and the various questions they asked, the Manchester United players did not stop to answer, but judging by their smiling expressions, they were full of confidence in the game.
Despite not being able to get interviews with the Manchester United players at the airport, the Madrid media still had to make the news.
"We saw the United players walking out of the airport with a smile and a smile on their faces, as if United were not one goal ahead of Real Madrid, but two, three, four goals, but in fact, they were only one goal ahead. However, the relaxation of Manchester United's players may not be a bad thing for Real Madrid – United will pay the price for their underdogs. ”
Real Madrid's loyal "mouthpiece" said it in a serious newspaper.
As for whether Manchester United has a light enemy, of course they will not investigate and collect evidence, anyway, it is a picture at the beginning, and the news depends on the editor.
...........
Even without the media's call, the Bernabeu will not be deserted before the war.
Before the start of the game, there was already a sea of people outside the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, and Real Madrid fans were in attendance, and the stadium would be filled with more than 80,000 people, turning the entire stadium into a sea of white.
"Come on! Madrid!! ”
"Of course!! We're going to win for sure!! We're Real Madrid!! ”
"This is the Bernabeu, that's all I have to say!!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo!! Cristiano Ronaldo!! Cristiano Ronaldo!! ”
When facing the cameras of the media, Real Madrid's fans seemed quite confident, and it seemed that the courage of the media represented by the "As" newspaper still played a role, at least for the fans of Real Madrid.
And in the dressing room, Zidane was certainly unaffected by the media.
"In this game, the key is our offensive play, but we also have to pay attention to the defense!! Let's be clear, we didn't score away from home! If Manchester United had scored away goals, it would have been even more difficult in this game!! Pay special attention to Li Qingshan's point, don't let them easily cross on the side, and don't let Li Qingshan have a chance to turn around easily!! ”
Zidane said as he knocked on the tactical board.
Ramos touched the bridge of his nose that was still aching, and the thought of fighting Li Qingshan for 90 minutes in this game made Ramos's nose even more painful.
However, he still stood up and said on behalf of the defender: "I will definitely do my best to stop him!!" ”
Zidane nodded, probably considering the pressure he brought to his own side by overemphasizing the threat of the opponent, he smiled and continued: "But the key is our offensive play, this is our home field, as long as we play well enough on the offensive end, for example, if we can score more than three goals against them, then even if we concede a goal, it is not a big deal!" We've got the most powerful attacking combo in the world! ”
Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale both grinned, and being able to get a legendary player like Zidane is very useful to their juniors.
...........
On the other side, Carlo Ancelotti is also telling his players: "In this game, Real Madrid will definitely do their best, when this team bursts out with full strength, it is quite scary, so we must be prepared for a tough battle here, especially at the beginning of the game, we must withstand their attack first, we can't concede the ball too early, if we concede the goal early, it will put us in a very passive situation!" ”
"Resist the opening first, then slow down the tempo, stabilize the tempo, don't make mistakes in the backcourt, pass the ball as safely as possible, and pass forward directly when there is no safe exit point!!"
The players nodded as they listened, and now there was no easy smile on their faces.
Facing Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, there is no team in the world who is qualified to take it lightly, and this is a formidable opponent
............
By the time the players from both sides walked onto the pitch with the Champions League theme song, the Bernabeu stands had already been occupied by Real Madrid fans dressed in white.
In the stands across the tunnel from the players' tunnel, the Real Madrid fans pulled out a giant tifo, and when the players walked out of the tunnel, the United players could see at a glance the dismount given to them by the Real Madrid fans.
On both sides of the tunnel, the roar of the Real Madrid fans at them was even clear to the players' ears.
Judging from this imposing appearance, it is enough to show Real Madrid's determination to win.
