Chapter 395 On the eve of the restart of Galaxy Battleship!
Chapter 395 On the eve of the restart of Galaxy Battleship!
"Leeds United are coming!"
This was the front page headline of "Marca" on the day of the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals.
The Leeds tyrant's remarks before the game have spread throughout European football. His tone was plain when he told it, but it was deafening when it spread.
It will take 20 years to catch up with the century-old accumulation of traditional giants.
It is the courage and the most important strength of a mortal that rivals that of a god!
The Bernabeu is brightly lit at night, and the temple of football is still majestic.
But fans here are distraught.
Real Madrid, which is troubled internally and externally, makes everything their members watch now full of awkwardness and discomfort.
Calderon, who has to pay for all his meals with the club, has fully exposed his petty mentality, and Juande Ramos sitting in the Real Madrid coaching position has made countless members feel humiliated.
As for the players on the field, except for a few players who were willing to applaud, the Real Madrid jerseys worn by some players seemed to have been stained.
When Shen Hao walked into the field with a normal expression and appeared in front of everyone, Real Madrid fans were no longer curious about him and no longer full of hatred.
Perhaps one of them will thank the Leeds tyrant for tearing off their fig leaf.
The performance in the top 16 of the Champions League for three consecutive years is completely difficult to match the status of the giants.
And more people are already afraid of the Leeds tyrant.
There was only one thought in my mind: Who can conquer this monster?
The starting players of the two teams lined up on the field for the pre-match kick-off ceremony. Leeds United's lineup was star-studded and looked more wealthy than Real Madrid.
Of course, after more than four years of construction by the white tyrants, Leeds United has become a recognized new giant in European football.
When their new stadium is completed, the hardware foundation of the giants will also be in place.
"Good evening to all the fans in white. In the middle of the night in China, Xiaopang and Glasses will continue to broadcast the Leeds United game for everyone."
"Hello everyone, I am glasses. The Champions League war has resumed. Today Leeds United faces Real Madrid. This picture looks familiar. We meet our old rivals again."
"If you say that this draw result was not intentional by UEFA, God would laugh. No matter what, it is still a showdown between giants. Real Madrid's lineup is definitely not weak. We cannot let down our guard."
"Yes, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams tonight.
Real Madrid starting 433.
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas.
Defenders: Ramos, Pepe, Cannavaro, Marcelo.
Midfielder: Diarra, Raul, Heinze.
Forwards: Robben, Higuain, Ribery.
Leeds United started 442.
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Defenders: Kelly, Kompany, Helguera, Baines.
Midfielder: Deisler, Modric, Ze Roberto, Van Bronckhorst.
Forwards: Ronaldo, Ronaldinho.
Real Madrid's starting lineup today is strange. Although Raul playing as an attacking midfielder will make the attacking group look more gorgeous,... Real Madrid has Van der Vaart and Sneijder sitting on the bench. "
"It doesn't matter who the coach of Real Madrid is, Juande Ramos, how dare he offend Raul? If Raul is placed at the center position, Higuain will have to come on the bench."
"Ha, going round and round, I didn't expect that Brother Hao's opponent today would be Juande Ramos again."
"I always feel like Juande Ramos is messing around, haha."
"Getting back to the subject, Leeds United's starting lineup is certain that we will adopt a defensive counterattack style in the away game today. Maybe this is Brother Hao's ingenuity this season. Some Fleet Street football critics are already studying our game. A set of defensive counterattacks, they believe that this set of 442 counterattack tactics will be a great inspiration to the Three Lions."
"That has nothing to do with us. The game will start soon. Let's cheer for Leeds United and capture the Bernabeu tonight!"
With the referee's whistle, the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals began.
Shen Hao stood with his hands behind his back, and Juande Ramos was firmly in charge.
It seems that the two people are not evenly matched opponents at all.
Yes, at least Shen Hao will not regard Juande Ramos as an opponent.
When he saw Juande Ramos actually put Sneijder on the bench.
He knew that even if he became the coach of Real Madrid after leaving Tottenham, Juande Ramos would still not be worthy of being his opponent.
Not only could he not take a high look at it, but he even despised her from the bottom of his heart.
He can't even tell the difference between the king and the king with the cards in his hand.
Leeds United tightened their defense at the start, and Real Madrid patiently organized the offensive.
But there are two defensive midfielders in the midfield, Diarra and Heinze.
The organizational responsibility of the midfield fell on Raul's shoulders.
But Raul can figure out this job, but he can't be as good as his natural attacking midfielder or organizational midfielder.
A simple pass, no sharp dribbling breakthrough, and even no courage to break through.
Because he knows very well that he must first send the ball to the front line, which is the basic standard of his job at this position.
The result is that Ribery and Robben have to retreat from the wing to receive the ball, and are unable to receive the pass from their teammates during the deep attack after starting.
No one in the midfield could pass the ball they wanted.
Ribery broke through and got rid of Deisler, but was forced by Kelly and Modric's zone defense and conceded the ball.
Robben speeded up and broke through Van Bronckhorst from the right, but it was not clean. After turning inward, he fell into the continuous pressing of Ze Roberto and Baines and lost the ball in the fight.
At first, Real Madrid fans watched the game seriously and cheered.
But seeing the team's performance, I couldn't help but frown.
They feel that Leeds United are too familiar with these two stars, and they can naturally restrict them easily.
Shen Hao was calm and composed. He knew very well that Ribery and Robben needed space, and that both of them had a fatal flaw as the core.
Ribery is the best supporting role on the left wing in European football today.
He has the ability to score, but creating opportunities and supporting a top center will maximize his strength.
Robben is also a support player and can attack, but he needs the team to create space for him.
As for the performance of Real Madrid's forward, or attacking system, in less than 10 minutes, Shen Hao basically had a deeper understanding.
Ribery has won the Champions League, Robben has also won the Champions League, and both of them are the record holders for the highest transfer fees in European football today.
The two of them cherish each other, perhaps because they played for Leeds United together and then left together. Similar experiences will lead to more topics between the two.
Therefore, the young Higuain has no weight in their hearts.
Ribery couldn't spare his body to assist Higuain, while Robben was also competing for Higuain's right to fire.
As a result, Higuain fell into a situation of being isolated and exploited.
Although Raul is famous and has honors, Raul's reputation has been slowly declining since the late Galactic era.
When the team is in decline, how can the star who serves as the flag stand alone?
Ribery and Robben both want to carry the flag.
So of course it is impossible to assist or fulfill the current flag-bearer wholeheartedly.
The problems with Real Madrid's entire system are quite obvious.
Even if Juande Ramos can see it, he can't solve it.
Because players may not listen to him.
Real Madrid's first team is full of stars and the relationship is complicated. Only a top coach can control it.
Juande Ramos, a coach who can only win the Europa League, may be able to be an assistant coach in the eyes of these players.
The reason is also simple.
Successful coaches have a history of success.
The direction he guided and what he imparted to the players have been proven in actual combat and achieved success.
As for the coach who has never been successful...what do you want to hear from him?
Perhaps those stars who have reached the pinnacle of their careers may even worry that their thoughts have been contaminated by the experience of failure.
If I am led astray, where can I go to explain this?
So sometimes when players play big names, they don't deliberately create contradictions and conflicts.
Anyone with a brain knows the negative consequences of confrontation with a coach.
But instead of being led by a failed coach, it is better to take a stand earlier. There is no need to be conceited and end up with nothing.
Juande Ramos sits in the coaching position of Real Madrid, but he is more like a puppet coach.
He won't have much real power in his hands at all, and he still has to be on the cusp of balancing the relationship in the locker room.
He was like a destined scapegoat.
But it doesn't matter to him. The honor of becoming Real Madrid coach is greater than anything else.
As for why Real Madrid cannot invite other top coaches to coach, the reason is actually simple.
Calderon is in danger of being ousted.
Which top coach is willing to take a dip in this muddy water?
No matter how good the coaching is, unless they can win the Champions League, once Calderon steps down, a new president will take over.
Isn't it commonplace in European football that the principle of one emperor and one minister is commonplace?
Leeds United's defense did a good job of containing Real Madrid's attacking threat.
Their fast break and counterattack threats were also curbed.
Diarra, Heinze, Ramos, Pepe.
The four people kept a very steady rhythm and got dirty one after another within 30 minutes!
Three fouls on Ronaldinho resulted in yellow cards for themselves.
1 person is against Ronaldo.
Ronaldinho is in excellent form. In a considerable offensive environment, Real Madrid's defense will be frightened as long as the dribbling is started.
The player who was breached immediately committed a foul. This was not just a simple foul, but either an inappropriate action or a tactical foul.
The penalty standards in the Champions League are basically the specific definition of rules by UEFA.
So the scales won't let up, especially in the knockout rounds.
Looking at the Real Madrid defense like a frightened bird.
The players of Leeds United knew that the Real Madrid they faced today was not as strong as they expected.
The pressure on Real Madrid's defense forces the offense to speed up, and putting enough pressure on Leeds United's defense can relieve the pressure on the defense.
Higuain focused on the overall situation and took the initiative to support the two world-class wingers and act as a fulcrum.
But new problems emerged.
Since Raul could not directly connect with Higuain, Real Madrid could only rely on the wing to explode.
After Robben and Ribery break through the first line of defense on the wing, they will face a more complex offensive situation and greater resistance.
Higuain comes to support at this time, allowing them to play short-distance passing and cutting cooperation.
But the inside line is still blocked.
Ribery and Robben can only break in from the outside.
Therefore, if the pass is made from the bottom, there will basically be no teammates in front of the goal.
to whom?
If they control the ball and then rush into the penalty area, Leeds United's defense will further retreat and shrink, and the result will be that it is still besieged on all sides.
Real Madrid's attack began to fall into desperation.
In the 39th minute of the game, after Higuain and Robben hit the wall and passed the ball together, Robben ran too fast and rushed into the penalty area with his head.
Higuain's pass passed behind Robben in order to avoid Kaizer Roberto's blockade, and the result was that the ball was passed to Modric's feet.
After Modric stopped the ball, he encountered Raul's pressing. He moved the ball on the spot to dodge and immediately started dribbling forward to instigate a counterattack.
When he dribbled all the way to the dangerous offensive area, Heinze rushed up to intercept him head-on.
We can no longer retreat!
Modric passed the ball diagonally to the right, giving Heinze no chance to get close.
Deisler rushed to the goal and pushed the ball directly to the enemy.
Diarra was unable to rush back because he was closely guarding Ronaldinho.
At this time, Cannavaro chose to intercept passively when faced with the threat of Deisler passing the ball into the penalty area.
Deisler quickly passed the ball diagonally into the middle of the penalty area.
Ronaldo took the initiative to respond, while Pepe took a passive position beside him.
Ronaldo kicked the ball and sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
The football rolled behind Cannavaro.
Cannavaro turned around, but Deisler, who was moving forward, was faster. He occupied his retracement route first and was forced to slow down to avoid knocking Deisler to the ground from behind.
That's definitely a bonus.
35-year-old Cannavaro is old!
Not every 35-year-old veteran can be as old and strong as those old babies in white.
Deisler successfully connected, Casillas quickly moved towards the right post, trying to block the near corner angle of Deisler's shot.
But Deisler still chose to pass the ball.
The football passed across to the center of the goal and was volleyed directly into the goal by Ronaldo who was advancing forward!
Casillas turned back in a hurry but didn't even have time to make a save.
Earth-shattering cheers erupted from the Bernabeu Stadium.
"It's in! It's finally in! Ronaldo scores against Real Madrid again!"
"If Real Madrid hadn't continued to commit fouls to stifle Leeds United's offense, I'm afraid they would have surrendered long ago!"
"They played so many passes and cuts in the front area of Leeds United's penalty area, but they were unsuccessful. However, Deisler and Ronaldo's pass-and-cut cooperation was dazzling!"
"Haha, the Real Madrid fans were in disarray, and there were boos at the Bernabeu!"
Calderon, who was in the chairman's box, really started to tremble!
With a stiff face, he knew very well that once the team was eliminated from the Champions League, what would greet him would be the end of betrayal!
At this moment, he once again greeted the eighteenth generation of UEFA's ancestors in his heart!
