I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils
Chapter 414 Powerful Real Madrid
Rooney is an offensive player. He is very aware of the team's defensive pressure, but there is nothing he can do to help.
Long before the game, Ye Su told him that the rest of the team could return to defense, but he couldn't. Because he is the most threatening person in the team, staying in the front can make Real Madrid feel the threat of counterattack, but if he withdraws, it will allow Real Madrid to attack unscrupulously.
Rooney can clearly see the loopholes in the opponent's defense, but the problem now is that Manchester United can't get the ball out. Without the ball, even if the opponent puts the goal in front of you, it is in vain.
Real Madrid's first half was indeed quite good, full of control. Even Rooney himself felt that if he continued to play like this, it would be a matter of time before he was scored.
Even, if it weren't for Manchester United's defense being good enough, the current score would not be 0:0.
"It's not okay to continue playing like this!" Rooney thought, frowning.
As the captain and attacker of the team, what he should consider most is how to score goals.
Real Madrid's left defense has too many gaps, Marcelo's defensive ability is insufficient, Kroos and Modric are more involved in offense, and there is only one Ramos at most. As long as he gets the ball at the right time, Rooney is sure to cause a little trouble for the opponent, and even score a goal!
But now the question is, how to get the ball?
………………
"When pressing, you try to let them pass the ball to the left and give it to Marcelo." Taking advantage of a respite, Rooney took Harry Kane, Vardy, De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandez and others They all convened and expressed their thoughts to their teammates.
Bruno Fernandez's eyes lit up and he asked, "Captain, are you trying to find a breakthrough from Marcelo?"
Rooney nodded, and said meaningfully: "This Brazilian is very sticky."
In fact, this is not surprising at all. Isn't it normal for Brazilian players, especially offensive Brazilian wide players, to stick to the ball?
Although Marcelo has always been a defender of Real Madrid, what he is most commendable in world football has never been his help to Real Madrid on the defensive end, but his threat to opponents on the offensive end.
The contribution of the Brazilian left-back on the offensive end has made him deeply loved by his forward teammates including Real Madrid's top star Ronaldo. Many Real Madrid fans even affectionately call him the favorite of the Galacticos.
Rooney has been paying attention to Marcelo's problems since the preparation period. After the game, he has also been observing the Brazilian's state and performance. He thinks this aspect can still be tried.
He is now the captain of the team, and the teammates in the locker room also respect him, and they all nodded after hearing what he said.
"Okay, we got it."
"I'm going to try to force their ball to the left."
...
Every player's pass is in a sector. As long as one side is properly pressed when pressing, the opponent will often pass the ball to the other side habitually. Therefore, as long as everyone agrees, they can force the ball to the left.
Rooney nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, as long as the ball reaches Marcelo's feet and the timing is right, I will definitely grab it."
Although Rooney has been talked about most for his offense in the past two or three years, in fact, his wide-ranging active running and frontcourt pressing are also his forte.
Today, among the world's three giants in football, Ronaldo is known for his strong physique and ability to stay in the air, Messi is known for his breakthrough ability beyond human beings, and Rooney is the one with the most balanced comprehensive ability. A true all-around player.
………………
With Manchester United retreating, Real Madrid began to control the situation on the field. As the team's full-back, Marcelo also began to take on some tasks of participating in the organization and offense.
According to the pre-match arrangement of the coaching staff, after he presses up, Ramos will move his position to the left appropriately, and the midfielder Kroos will occasionally shrink into the penalty area, forming a formation similar to a three-back.
As for the original right back Lucas Vazquez, this guy is a winger, how could he be expected to stay on the defensive end?
And as the team controlled the rhythm and possession of the ball, Marcelo began to get more opportunities to get the ball on the left.
After Manchester United stole the ball in the backcourt, they quickly launched a counterattack. Maguire sent a long ball straight into the Real Madrid half, forcing Modric to chase it all the way back and play it back to goalkeeper Keylor Navas. After stopping the ball with his foot, Navas turned and passed it to Ramos and then to Marcelo.
Rooney didn't have time to grab the first kick, so he simply didn't go forward and let Marcelo drive the ball forward.
………………
The Brazilian player did the same as before, quickly dribbling the ball forward along the left, and passed it to Kroos under Rooney's interference.
Kroos passed to Vazquez, then passed to Modric near the center line, still had no chance, and passed back to Marcelo.
But this time, Marcelo didn't even stop the ball, and Rooney, who had premeditated, had already rushed in front of him.
what to do?
Marcelo couldn't care about anything else. He had no way to think about whether Rooney had planned it in advance. His only thought was how to protect the ball and how to get rid of Rooney.
Rooney obviously expected him to think so. When he received the ball, he got close to him and squeezed him with his body.
When Marcelo played football, he was not known for his physical fitness, mainly because of his foot skills and passing. When he was young, his speed was not bad, but he is not young now.
Although Rooney is two years older than Marcelo, he has played in the Premier League, which values physical confrontation for a long time, and his physical fitness is better than Marcelo. Squeezing close, Marcelo staggered immediately. That is, Rooney made a decisive move and broke the ball.
………………
As soon as Rooney steals the ball, he immediately goes straight behind Marcelo at the fastest speed.
At this time, there was a burst of exclamation at the Bernabéu stadium. Modric, who was nearby, rushed over immediately, but as soon as Rooney accelerated, he immediately caught up with the ball and strode forward.
"Manchester United made a sudden interception in the frontcourt. Rooney sprinted with the ball, very fast!"
"The sudden counterattack caught Real Madrid by surprise."
Kroos is not far from Marcelo. He knows very well that this is the critical moment when Real Madrid turns from defense to offense. Rooney suddenly steals the ball and hits a counterattack. Real Madrid's defense will definitely be flawed, especially on the left.
When Kroos saw Rooney striding the ball, he realized it was an opportunity and decisively chose to grab it.
Rooney's vision and overall situation have always been very good. He has already predicted the reaction of Real Madrid players. Modric and Marcelo have already been left behind by him, as long as he does not slow down, they will not be able to catch up. And as long as he passes Kroos, he will be able to hit the goal directly. That's why Rooney made a bigger trip on purpose to lure the other party out.
As soon as Kroos robbed, Rooney immediately accelerated again. The German midfielder obviously didn't expect that Rooney didn't try his best just now, so he was taken aback and decisively shoveled. But Rooney took the first step, poked the ball, and the ball passed by Kroos' feet, while Rooney himself continued to chase the ball without slowing down. The German sat down on the turf, looking desperately at Rooney going away.
………………
"Beautiful goal! Wayne Rooney dribbles past Real Madrid's defense!"
The entire Bernabéu stadium all exclaimed.
Real Madrid's goalkeeper Keylor Navas had already shifted his position to the left when Rooney intercepted the ball, staring at him like an enemy. He saw Kroos go up to grab the ball, but was passed by Rooney, and he was passed in the blink of an eye.
Navas was shocked and saw the ball rolled into the penalty area. Rooney was still chasing him. He had no other choice. He immediately abandoned the goal and rushed towards the ball with open arms.
Although it was a gamble, Navas did not lose his composure at all, and was still observing Rooney's movements. Chasing, he will definitely not be able to catch up with Rooney, but after abandoning the goal, he can use his body to block Rooney's shooting angle. But the premise is that he must judge what action Rooney will take.
Rooney didn't have enough time to pass people because he only had one chance.
This Real Madrid team has been in shape for many years. The players are not only strong, but also very close to each other. From stealing the ball to passing Kroos to the penalty area, Ramos and Varane have returned to the penalty area. He has no choice.
Therefore, at the moment before catching up with the ball, Rooney made an action to smash the ball. He firmly believes that Navas must be aware of his ability to score goals, so he smashed the ball with his right foot and hit the goal directly with his left foot, which must also be within the alert range of Navas.
………………
Sure enough, Rooney made a gesture to smash the ball, and Navas responded immediately, and his body center of gravity began to tilt. The initiative is in Rooney's hands. If he doesn't make preparations in advance, he can't stop it at all.
But Rooney paused deliberately, and when Navas began to shift his weight, he pushed his right foot directly. The football slid past Navas' left side at a very high speed. When the Costa Rica goalkeeper reacted, he wanted to block it, but it was too late.
After the football slid past Navas, it rubbed against the post almost in a straight line and crashed into Real Madrid's goal.
At this time, the defense was in place, and Ramos, who wanted to prevent the ball from entering the net, slid into the goal, but it was of no avail.
"GOOOOOAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 27th minute, Manchester United scored the first goal! A key goal from Rooney!"
The entire Bernabéu stadium boiled up. The Manchester United fans with the smallest number broke out the most enthusiastic cheers and cheers in the audience.
Rooney was so excited that he rushed out of the field, rushed all the way to the stands where the Manchester United fans were, slid and knelt on the grass, and raised his arms high.
"Rooney did a great job! Marcelo made a mistake that shouldn't have been made. After he was intercepted by Rooney, the captain of Manchester United drove straight in with the ball, as if he was in no man's land, especially with a wonderful man. Cross."
"The whole process of scoring is very fast, which can be said to be very surprising. But this is Manchester United's fast counterattack, they are always so fast!"
"Real Madrid's defense has problems again, and Zidane should be responsible for his own choice again. Although the first leg was lost by a big score at Old Trafford, Real Madrid was passive. But in this game, the use of such Aggressive style of play, Zidane's choice is still problematic."
………………
Rooney celebrated with his teammates on the sidelines, but at the same time he did not forget to remind his teammates: "Don't be careless, don't be careless, continue to stabilize the defense, stay focused, and strive to defend this score in the first half!"
Rooney's shout also represented the aspirations of the Manchester United players, but the Real Madrid players on the opposite side were also completely irritated!
The game fell behind 0:1, and the total score of the two rounds was rewritten to 2:6. Real Madrid was really cornered!
In the ensuing games, Real Madrid obviously played more aggressively, and the threat on the offensive end was also greater.
Just four minutes after Rooney scored, Real Madrid played a very threatening attack. Modric made a direct pass from the middle, and Marcelo, who had just made a fatal mistake, made up for it. After getting the ball, he rubbed the outer instep of his right foot on the left side of the penalty area and made a wonderful pass. Benzema equalized for Real Madrid with a header from close range in the central wicket.
This goal also completely ignited Real Madrid's offensive passion, and all the fans at the Bernabeu Stadium cheered wildly.
In the 44th minute, it was another pass from Modric. Ronaldo broke into the left side of the penalty area again. When facing Maguire's defense, the Portuguese forward suddenly fell to the ground. Maguire angrily accused the Portuguese of diving.
Although the referee eventually signaled the game to continue, he did not punish the Portuguese for diving. Judging from the slow-motion playback of the game, Ronaldo is indeed suspected of diving.
But just one minute later, after the continuous cooperation of Modric and Ronaldo on the left, Benzema assisted Benzema with a right-footed shot, once again breaking through Manchester United's goal and reversing the score.
Benzema, who scored twice, also rushed out of the court with great excitement, pointing his finger in the air along the way, muttering words.
2:1!
Real Madrid scored two goals in just ten minutes. The entire Bernabéu stadium was cheering and celebrating wildly.
If it is said that in the first twenty minutes, Real Madrid firmly controlled the situation on the field, but they still failed to break through Manchester United's goal, then in the last ten minutes, the Galaxy Battleship was like a beast showing its minions. They almost firmly controlled the first half of the game and did not leave many opportunities for Manchester United.
At the same time, everyone has to admit that Real Madrid's left wing is indeed full of attack power.
Both goals were planned from the left, completely blowing Manchester United's right.
Controlling the ball and rhythm on the field, Real Madrid can continuously plan more and more threatening offensives.
