I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

In the Manchester United dressing room, the players breathed heavily.

Forty-five minutes in the first half and two minutes of stoppage time, Manchester United also consumed a lot.

The main reason is the loss of possession. Players have to use more and more active running positions to suppress Real Madrid's pass and cut cooperation. Especially in the last ten minutes of the first half, Real Madrid suddenly accelerated the pace and launched an attack.

The most threatening of them was in the 20th minute, when Manchester United was pressed by Real Madrid, they made a mistake of their own.

When Maguire played the ball in the backcourt, he was too light in a hurry. After being intercepted by Isco, he was quickly assigned to the right. Carvajal was like a sharp knife on the right, quickly cutting through Manchester United. The left line of defense, go down to the bottom line and then pass back to the front of the penalty area in an inverted triangle.

Ronaldo followed up and shot directly, trying to push a far corner. Fortunately, De Gea played well this time and flew to save the ball, giving Real Madrid a corner kick, but he managed to keep the goal.

Then Real Madrid took the opportunity to launch a series of offensives, which made Manchester United almost overwhelmed.

In the first half, Real Madrid's ball possession rate was as high as 62%, while Manchester United's was only a pitiful 38%. This is really rare for Manchester United, which has an average possession rate of nearly 60% in the Premier League.

In terms of the number of shots, the two teams are about the same, both shooting six shots. Among them, four of Manchester United's six shots came from Rooney.

And Manchester United's most threatening offense in the first half was Rooney's direct free kick, and the anti-offside single-handed shot that was blown off, both of which were very unfortunate opportunities.

For Real Madrid, the real threatening offense is Ronaldo's push, but De Gea's performance tonight is really good.

………………

Ye Su and the coaching staff were very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half. Whether it is the execution ability of the players or the degree of implementation of tactics on the court, they have done quite well. But there are still some shortcomings, such as Ronaldo's threat.

"I found that at the moment when we switched from defense to offense a few times, our balls were always a bit blind, and the players always wanted to press. This is not good. I told everyone before the game repeatedly, let go of the defensive position and go Fighting against Real Madrid is suicide!"

Facing Real Madrid's very comprehensive skills and tactics, which can play both ball possession and defensive counterattacks, and all have the world's top-level teams, Manchester United really has not many choices to make.

Modric, Kroos, Isco,

Even Ronaldo, Benzema, Marcelo and Carvajal are all players with super personal abilities, each of them can pass, shoot and break through.

Why did Manchester United adopt a defensive counterattack tactic and assemble a defensive force of seven or eight people? It is to shrink, firmly protect the front of the penalty area, and avoid giving players such as Marcelo, Carvajal, Ronaldo and Isco space to break through with the ball and cooperate with passing and cutting.

Zidane's team has really reached a very high level in terms of skills and tactics. Such a team is really terrifying. As long as there is a slight omission, the opponent will immediately catch the opportunity to attack.

Just like in the 20th minute, Manchester United was too anxious to counterattack. As a result, Maguire did not pass the ball hard enough. Luke Shaw wanted to go forward, but was cut off by Isco. Then Carvaja Er just drove straight in with the ball alone, and no one could stop him.

Real Madrid's offense is like mercury pouring down the ground, pervasive, as long as they are given a little space, they can form effective penetration and create a deadly threat.

………………

Finally, Ye Su said to the players with a serious expression: "You must pay attention, we must maintain enough patience, we must remain calm and rational at all times, we must fight the opponent's patience, fight for the whole, whoever becomes impatient first, who will Lose this game."

Ye Su's words reminded the players that everyone in the locker room was very clear about their responsibilities.

To put it simply, Manchester United would rather stick to this game, dragging the 0:0 score into a penalty shootout, and never revealing the slightest flaw to Real Madrid, allowing the opponent to take advantage of it.

Many people may think that this is conservative, but they have to admit that this is the best way for Manchester United to compete with Real Madrid. If they do not maintain a meticulous defensive position, they will be penetrated by Real Madrid every minute.

This year's Real Madrid is definitely the strongest in recent years. In La Liga, they defeated Barcelona led by MSN and won the La Liga championship.

You know, Barcelona is definitely not weak this season, because MSN is in a hot state. Barcelona scored 116 goals in 38 league rounds. Among them, the MSN combination scored a terrifying 78 goals, surpassing most teams in the five major leagues. The number of goals scored is the most powerful offensive combination this season. In the season, Barcelona also scored 90 points, which is also a very good result.

But even so, Barcelona still lost to Real Madrid.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid also eliminated strong enemies all the way. In the knockout stage, their opponents in the quarter-finals were slightly weaker, and the Portuguese Super League team Benfica failed to pose any threat to them. But since the quarter-finals, they have encountered tough battles in a row. Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid are both strong players in the Champions League in recent years!

………………

Of course, Ye Su's decision not to play against Real Madrid is also related to his understanding of the Champions League final in another time and space.

At that time, it was Serie A class bully Juventus that broke into the final. In Serie A, the invincible Bianconeri played against Real Madrid at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and the result was a miserable loss: 1:4, since AC Milan beat Barcelona 4:0 in the 1993-1994 season, in 23 years Maximum score loss!

Juventus is also very strong this season. Manchester United's victory in the Serie A class in the semi-finals can be said to have fired the last bullet.

Since Juventus lost so badly when they met Real Madrid, if Manchester United played against Real Madrid, the result might not be much better.

Subsequently, assistant coach Carrick and captain Rooney also stood up to speak.

When Rooney spoke, he first apologized for his two chances in the first half, and his teammates also comforted him. Everyone knows that these two chances were not very good. One was earned by Rooney himself, and the other was blown away by a misjudgment by the lines referee. Rooney cannot be blamed for this.

Finally, Rooney said: "You believe in me, pass the ball to me in the second half, and I will definitely send it to Real Madrid's goal!"

Rooney's guarantee is absolutely trustworthy for the players in the Manchester United dressing room.

………………

The start of the second half was still dominated by Real Madrid's passing and possession.

Just one minute into the opening of the Spanish giants, Modric dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough. After cooperating with Ronaldo, he got rid of Kanter's defense and made a diagonal pass to the right from the left side of the arc top area at the front of the penalty area.

Isco quickly jumped in and slid a shovel shot from the front of the small penalty area. But the ball was blocked by Maguire first and turned into a corner kick.

Real Madrid sent a corner kick, Ronaldo's header went slightly wide of the post.

But then Modric made a straight pass near the middle circle, Ronaldo took the ball from the left, sprinted with the ball in his hand, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, smashed the ball past Van Dijk twice in a row, hit the goal from a small angle, and was caught by Dege Yafei made a save, and it was another corner kick.

This time it was De Gea who decisively abandoned the goal and took the ball out of the air.

De Gea's outstanding performance, whether it is the fans of the two teams in the stands, or the political and business celebrities in the chairman's stand, all gave a high degree of affirmation.

"He was born to play for Real Madrid." Spanish King Juan Carlos looked at De Gea who threw the ball in the court, his eyes showed unconcealed appreciation, obviously for De Gea in the past few days. The performance and achievements of the year are quite admirable.

After saying this, he specifically looked at Florentino beside him, and said, "What do you think, Florentino?"

The former king of Spain, Juan Carlos, who abdicated three years ago, is a clear-cut Real Madrid fan. The entire Spanish royal family is basically a Real Madrid fan.

It has not been a year or two for Real Madrid to covet De Gea, the current Spanish national team. In another time and space, if it is not because of the "fax machine", De Gea has already worn Real Madrid's No. 1 jersey.

In this time and space, because Ye Su entered Old Trafford, Manchester United not only did not fall into the abyss, but entered the most glorious time in the history of the team. This made De Gea not have the idea of ​​leaving Old Trafford. However, Real Madrid's pursuit of De Gea has never stopped. Whenever the transfer window is approaching, major Spanish media will expose many rumors about De Gea's transfer to Real Madrid.

Not only are the Spanish media walking around spreading rumors of De Gea's transfer, Real Madrid's celebrities are also constantly drumming and shouting, hoping to bring De Gea, Spain's current No. 1, back to Spain.

Today, the old king personally recommends De Gea to Florentino, obviously hoping that Florentino can bring the Spanish goalkeeper to the Bernabeu and wear the Real Madrid jersey.

Florentino smiled after hearing this, and said softly: "You are right, he was born to belong to Real Madrid."

Juan Carlos was in a great mood. The media had previously reported that the player Florentino most wanted to sign was De Gea. Now, after getting a word from the Real Madrid chairman, the old king was relieved and happily talked about De Gea's performance on the court: "He is an incredible player, look at his save just now."

After hearing this, Florentino nodded in agreement. Although he regretted that Ronaldo's goal almost missed and his team missed the opportunity to lead, he also applauded De Gea's excellent performance.
