Chapter 148: Between Off and Defensive

Yin Jun roared excitedly at the fans in the stands, and the teammates behind him rushed forward and pulled him back.

Everyone was so excited, so excited.

Shortly after the opening, he was counterattacked by his opponent and conceded the ball. Now it took only 12 minutes to equalize the score, which made Manchester United players very excited. They saw hope of eliminating Real Madrid at home.

After losing the away game, although Manchester United players were confident of winning back at home, they suffered a deep blow to Manchester United players after losing a goal shortly after the game.

Now, Yin Jun helps the team to quickly equalize the score, allowing both sides to return to the same starting line, which naturally encourages Manchester United players.

With the current score, Manchester United only needs to score another goal to equalize the total score of the two rounds, and at the same time advance to the semi-finals with the advantage of having more away goals.

If the team advances to the semi-finals, it will be one step closer to advancing to the Champions League final at Old Trafford this season.

……………………

After Yin Jun scored a goal, Real Madrid began to want to control the situation of the game. Because with the current score, Real Madrid is still the one who advanced.

But Manchester United obviously does not want to win the advantage they finally made at the beginning and give it to their opponents. Several offensive players in the frontcourt began to actively press against Real Madrid's defenders, and the midfield also pressed players including Marklele and Guti, which made it difficult for Real Madrid to effectively pass the ball to the frontcourt.

It was not until the 31st minute that Real Madrid got a chance. They got a free kick from the left of the frontcourt. Because this free kick was nearly 30 meters away from the goal, Carlos took the penalty, but his free kick was of average quality and farther out of the far post, and did not pose any threat to the goal guarded by Butes.

Two minutes later, Real Madrid launched another long pass. Ferdinand judged the landing point in advance and blocked Ronaldo with his body, forcing the latter to commit a foul while fighting, and was whistled by the referee and warned.

He failed to threaten both attacks, and Real Madrid's offense was obviously not as sharp as it was at home.

……………………

As Manchester United's core of offense, Yin Jun actively pressed and pressed the frontcourt in the game, and was also observing his opponents. He found that the reason why Real Madrid performed poorly was not only because they lost their temper and made the rhythm after being equalized by Manchester United, but also because their physical fitness was indeed very bad.

Although this Real Madrid team is really a big star, it takes not only talent and ability to become a world-class star, but also time and experience to accumulate.

This Real Madrid team is actually a bit older. The eleven starting players, except for goalkeeper Casillas, who are only 22 years old, among the other ten people, among the four players in the back, Salgado is 27 years old, Elgra 28 years old, Carlos 30 years old, and Jero is 35 years old. Among the five midfielders, Marklele is 30 years old, Guti is 26 years old, Zidane is 31 years old, Figo is 30 years old, McManaman is 31 years old, and Ronaldo on the front is 26 years old.

Among these people, except Casillas, they can basically be considered veterans. Especially the defensive core members, Jero and Marklele, and the midfield core members Zidane and Figo, are all over 30 years old.

Although these players are experienced and have basically at the peak of their careers, after nearly a season of long march and long-term multi-line battles, the veterans' physical condition is definitely far inferior to that of young players. The most obvious thing is that they all look very tired.

Relatively speaking, Manchester United's starting lineup is a little younger. Except for goalkeeper Butters is almost 32 years old, the rest are basically under 30 years old: Wes Brown is 23 years old, Ferdinand is 24 years old, Sylvester is 25 years old, O'Shea is 22 years old, Keane is 31 years old, Bart is 28 years old, Veron is 28 years old, Yin Jun is 18 years old, Giggs is 29 years old, and Fanny is 27 years old.

……………………

Manchester United players are not only younger, but Ferguson also does better in the team's rotation, which is also conducive to players maintaining and restoring their physical fitness.

After conceding the ball, Manchester United always launches counter-attacks on the spot as soon as possible. The purpose is not just to grab the ball, but to delay the opponent. This reflects the player's physical fitness and running ability advantages. On the one hand, it is because of tactics and habits, and on the other hand, it is physical fitness. When Real Madrid grabbed the ball and scored the front of Manchester United's penalty area, Manchester United's defense was basically in place, and the next step is the tough battle.

But on the other hand, after several Manchester United intercepted the ball, they could quickly create a threat, especially at Carlos on the left. The 30-year-old Brazilian left-back was really struggling to defend Yin Jun on the left.

Even when the game reached the 36th minute, when Carlos got the ball and Yin Jun rushed towards him quickly, the Brazilian left back remembered the interception in the first round between the two sides, and he immediately passed the ball to Elgra in the middle.

But what's so bad is that Van Nie is near Elgra and immediately intercepts the Spanish defender.

Elgra concedes the ball, and the Dutch center poked the ball to Giggs on the left. Giggs got the ball and dunked over Salgado who was defending him. He shot with his right foot 20 meters in front of the goal and slightly missed the right post. Ferguson seemed very disappointed on the sidelines.

……………………

Although the crisis was resolved, Carlos's mistake still made Real Madrid sweat.

The audience in front of the TV were also very surprised by Carlos' performance. After all, the Brazilian left-back was one of the best players in the world last year. He ranked second only to his compatriot Ronaldo in the European Golden Ball Awards and ranked top five in the World Footballer selection. However, in this Champions League knockout match, his performance was a big loss to Yin Jun.

After persisting for more than ten minutes, Manchester United finally chose to counterattack defensively. Although Real Madrid was very passive during this period, the lean camel was bigger than a horse and his strength should not be underestimated.

Especially when they began to gradually stabilize their position, Manchester United dared not be careless at all.

Real Madrid has obvious physical problems, and the situation on the court has been relatively passive during this period, which makes their players seem a little less excited and not more enthusiastic about the game.

At least, compared with Manchester United players who are like Manchester United players who are excited, Real Madrid is not as good as Manchester United in terms of excitement, even if they compete in the first round, they are still very inferior.
