Full-level header at the beginning, the whole network begs me not to return to the national football

Chapter 198 Raul and Ronaldo watching the match live! Corner kick at the last moment!

"Listen."

Not long after, in the Real Madrid locker room, Zidane stood in front of all the players, clapped his hands and gave a routine midfield speech.

"There are still nearly fifty minutes of game time, and there is still a goal difference."

"We should face up to our current position and believe in ourselves that we can equalize the score and then go ahead."

Zidane said it very seriously, "A great club is never smooth sailing."

"On the road of football, no matter how top player you are, there are always countless difficulties and challenges waiting for you."

"Without these challenges, any club is just an ordinary club and any player is just an ordinary player."

"Suffering and training have created Real Madrid, and honor ultimately embellishes this city."

"I hope you can remember this forever and be like your seniors in the second half and never give up the game."

"I believe you are top players."

As a former Real Madrid meritorious player, Zidane naturally has very deep feelings for this club.

The first major success of his coaching career also came from this club.

Therefore, the teachings he has always given to the players are the glorious tradition of Real Madrid.

He likes to use history to impress these players and let them know where they are.

After saying this, there seemed to be no additional tactical arrangements. Zidane left the locker room and handed the locker room over to the players.

"We really can't make that kind of mistake again. If we give the opponent another chance, I don't know what the outcome of this game will be."

Ronaldo took off his shirt and was wiping his sweat with a towel while saying to Ramos.

"I know."

Ramos said with some guilt: "I really didn't expect it in the first half. I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone."

"I still feel that sometimes, when players compete individually, their individual strength must be separated from that of the entire team."

The more mature Varane also spoke up at this time, saying: "You can't forget about the victory or defeat of the team just to beat someone."

"We are a big team fighting for the same goal, and there are countless fans behind us. We can't be too selfish."

Of course he was talking about Ramos. If Ramos hadn't been too obsessed with confrontation with Lu Chenfeng in the first half, those two goals might not have happened.

These somewhat explicit words made Ramos speechless for a long time, with his head lowered and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, the first half is over, let's play the second half well. We want to bring the title of King of Europe back to Madrid. I believe we can do it."

Seeing that everyone's mood was not quite right, Ronaldo comforted him and said, "Come on, Madrid!"

"come on!"

"rush!"

"..."

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the playing field after a short break.

"Beep!"

Soon, the referee blew his whistle, kicking off the second half of the game.

Ibrahimovic sent a mid-circle ball for Manchester United, and the two teams soon fell into a fast-paced confrontation.

As time passed by, the two teams had perfected their testing of their opponents.

You know in your heart what kind of football your opponent is playing.

Therefore, they played more confidently in the second half.

This is more reflected in the players of Real Madrid. These players who have been irrigated by countless honors have better suppression and mentality on the court.

They ran with all their strength and had a strong desire to score Manchester United's goal.

On the other hand, Manchester United did quite well individually.

But as a whole, they were in the lead and were a little hesitant about how to play.

Should they attack strongly, maintain their original tactics, and expand their lead?

Or is it better to retreat and maintain the lead?

This kind of swinging mind caused them to fall into a long period of confusion in the following period.

This is the kind of pressure Real Madrid can put on another club!

Even an excellent team like Manchester United will feel worried and hesitant at this moment!

In this case, they almost inevitably fell into a disadvantage and handed possession of the ball to Real Madrid many times.

"During this period, you can see that Real Madrid has significantly increased the speed and frequency of their attacks."

"Manchester United's defense has gradually become a little overwhelming. If Van Dijk and Umtiti hadn't performed fairly steadily, they would have been close to conceding the ball."

"I think this is still a matter of mentality. When Manchester United led by one goal and there was not much time left in the game, they suddenly didn't know how to play."

"The team is still too young. I wonder if Mourinho has made any new adjustments off the field."

"..."

He Wei's analytical voice sounded, explaining the game situation to the fans.

What he said is indeed correct.

And at this time, on the side of the stadium.

Mourinho, an excellent head coach with outstanding abilities, was also in some trouble at this time.

No one is perfect in this world, and neither is Mourinho.

Except for his unruly, even extreme, and proud character.

He also has a fatal flaw.

That is, at this moment when decisions are urgently needed, his honor is wavering.

Offense, or defense?

This is the question that has plagued Mourinho throughout his career.

During the later period of coaching at Chelsea, there was also the early period at Porto.

It can be seen that most of Mourinho's failures stem from mistakes in team decision-making.

Sometimes, he would be afraid of the opponent's counterattack and call the entire line back to defend.

Sometimes, he would send people to attack rashly, resulting in conceding the ball.

There is no doubt that the offensive and defensive paths in this sport are the most difficult decisions for every coach to consider and make.

After Mourinho thought about it for a long time, he decided to stand still.

In other words, he didn't dare to move.

He can only let the players continue to play and be prepared to adapt to changes.

…………

"Ohhhhh..."

In the stands, as their home team's offensive became more and more fierce, the emotions of Real Madrid fans were getting higher and higher.

"Bell! Attack him!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo, long shot, we believe in your golden right foot!"

"Benzema! If you pass the ball, don't shoot. You're just wasting the opportunity."

"Come on! Madrid!"

"..."

In this atmosphere, when the game enters the 60th minute, goals are most likely to be scored.

“It’s a great place to visit Espanava el Madrid!”

"What's the deal with banderalimpia and blanca?"

Real Madrid fans also couldn't help but sing the team's anthem, "Madrid"!

The court was suddenly enveloped in a white storm, and the sense of oppression brought by the top clubs was vividly displayed at this moment.

Real Madrid's players seemed to be deeply inspired by this, and even their expressions changed for a while.

"Hurry, we will score a goal soon."

In the VIP seat, Real Madrid star Raul, the King of the Rings, murmured to himself.

"Yes, that magical Chinese boy looks a little weak now."

The fat man sitting next to him was Ronaldo, the top goalscorer in European football back then.

"It's not because of his weakness. Manchester United is a little hesitant as a whole now, and Mourinho seems to have nothing to do."

Raul shook his head and pointed out Manchester United's current problems.

"Let me ask you a question, do you think that boy is better, or do you think I was better at my peak?"

Ronaldo smiled and asked his former teammate a death question.

"Forehead……"

Raul glanced at Ronaldo and then at Lu Chenfeng, who was running off the court, "It's hard to explain this."

"Of course I like some of your qualities, but that guy's statistics are indeed better than yours."

"I haven't watched too many of his games, I just saw those jaw-dropping statistics."

"Okay." Ronaldo was indeed a little disappointed with this statement, but he couldn't refute it and could only say: "If that kid beats Real Madrid today, I will admit that he is better than me."

"Admit it publicly? It's not necessary."

Raul was a little surprised.

"That's not true."

Ronaldo shook his head and said: "If someone asks me in the future, I will say that he is better than me."

"Oh, I wish him good luck."

Raul said expressionlessly and continued to watch the game seriously.

As a Real Madrid star, he certainly wants this club where he has been successful to win.

…………

On the court.

Lu Chenfeng's wrong pass just now caused the ball to be intercepted by the opponent.

This also made him a little frustrated.

He is not a very comprehensive player and sometimes makes mistakes in passing and protecting the ball.

It seems that this season, we can no longer just focus on the results of the game, but our own improvement is also the top priority.

For now, let’s not think about it so much and focus on the court.

Regarding the situation in front of him, he actually knew exactly what was going on.

But changing a team is not something a forward can do.

He could only run back a few steps and whispered to Modric, "Tell Casemiro that if the midfielder completes the steal later, send the ball forward."

"Stop passing those meaningless safety balls. The pass success rate is the most rubbish statistic in the world. If we want to win, we must score goals."

"A team that dares not take risks will never win a championship."

This is Lu Chenfeng’s current understanding of football.

He feels that he is not wrong. For Manchester United now, this is what they need.

"OK."

Modric has also been trapped in the status quo for a long time, and after hearing what Lu Chenfeng said, he chose to believe it unconditionally.

Sometimes, when you trust the team, who should you trust?

As time passed, under Real Madrid's high pressure, Manchester United's defense became increasingly shaky, and a goal seemed to be coming soon.

"It's not far away. The goal is not far away from us. Let's work harder, brothers!"

After Ronaldo's shot missed the baseline, he turned around and applauded to boost the team's morale.

The other Real Madrid players nodded slightly, their excitement becoming more and more obvious.

"Bang!!"

In the 74th minute of the game, De Gea took a goal kick.

He directly chose to move forward without taking any steps in the backcourt.

Real Madrid's high press put a lot of pressure on them.

"mine!!"

From the frontcourt position, Lu Chenfeng jumped high into the air for a header and won the ball tenaciously.

He can always compete for such high balls.

At the second penalty spot, Modric started first.

With his top-notch skills, this midfielder has one advantage that can easily be overlooked by others.

That's speed.

Modric, who is not tall, has speed that surpasses most midfielders.

Whether it was the subsequent pursuit of Messi or the attack on Liverpool's midfield defense, this point was fully reflected.

After he started speeding up, he took the football away one step ahead of his old teammate Kroos.

"Bang!"

Then, his outside instep made contact with the football and passed the ball to veteran Rooney on the wing.

"Beautiful! Modric!"

Rooney caught the ball very comfortably, and he praised it sincerely.

Now, standing in front of him to defend was Marcelo, who was unable to defend even one of the three of him.

For a veteran like Rooney, he still knows very well how to deal with such a player who is strong in offense and weak in defense.

His consecutive starts and stops made Marcelo a little dizzy.

The last heel knock of the ball changed direction and completely passed Marcelo.

"Bang!"

Rooney sent a cross towards the center, and the football dropped rapidly from the front point and came within Ibrahimovic's control.

"Bang!!!"

Ibrahimovic reacted quickly, leaping forward and hitting the bottom of the football!

"嘡啷!!"

Then there was a blast, which made everyone present let out a sound of regret.

The football hit the target and did not fly into the goal!

The opportunity is so close!

Ramos, who came on as a replacement, just to be on the safe side, cleared the ball out of the baseline and gave Manchester United a corner kick.

"Fuck!! Marcelo, we can't let him cross like that!"

The Real Madrid players who escaped the disaster suddenly shouted Marcelo with some complaints.

If the opponent scores another goal, everything before will be in vain!

There was something wrong with the ball being scored by Ibrahimovic. What if Lu Chenfeng stood in this position?

Wouldn't it be a disaster?

Fortunately, the ball did not go in, and the difference in score was only one.

As long as Real Madrid defends this corner kick, there will still be many opportunities in the next game.

Manchester United's No. 10 Modric, a former Real Madrid corner kicker, ran towards the corner flagpole.

On the way there, he made eye contact with Lu Chenfeng who was in the penalty area.

Both parties knew what the other was thinking, and without too much communication, they just went to where they should be.

"Beep!!"

Soon, the referee's whistle sounded.

Modric's right foot also quickly touched the football.

The corner kick was taken, with a strong swing arc, and turned to the middle!
