291 The Battle Begins!

Old Trafford, Tang Hong's goal not only gave Manchester United the initiative to advance again, but the situation was much better before the game.

Because Real Madrid still needs to score at least two goals now, but the game time is less than 60 minutes left!

Mourinho looked a little unwilling to put his hands in the bag on the sidelines.

At this moment, the commentators who broadcast the game on Spanish TV live are bluntly saying: Mourinho is losing control of this team!

The topic started with his abandonment of Casillas and never stopped when the conflict in the locker room surfaced.

Real Madrid is not as terrifying as last season. Its defensive defense? The fast attack and counterattack that can be defeated by attacking?

The double-layer weakening makes it difficult not to suspect that the problems that arise within them have seriously affected their combat effectiveness, after all, they once made their opponents frightened.

The Real Madrid players on the court were slightly anxious to launch a fast break immediately after the kickoff.

As the current flag carrier of Real Madrid, C Ronaldo actively seeks opportunities to create threats.

In the 36th minute of the game, when he collided with 272 in the frontcourt, he was fouled by Phil Jones at the front of the penalty area.

After getting up from the ground, he was ready to take a direct free kick.

He was a little close to the goal, and shooting directly was not the best choice, but he still chose to force his shot, which was intimidating, but he still sent the ball to the stands with a heavy shot.

After Manchester United equalized the score, morale was even stronger. Even Shinji Kagawa performed very actively in the midfield. In the 40th minute of the game, Shinji Kagawa and Carrick collided with each other and got rid of 272 in the midfield. Then he restrained Khdira from defending head-on when pushing forward.

At this time, Tang Hong was naturally under key guard, especially when he started to cut inward, Aberoa shrank toward the middle, and Alonso was more inclined to Tang Hong's side at the front of the penalty area.

Shinji Kagawa decisively passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area to the right.

Van Persie quickly cut in and then trolled the ball horizontally and adjusted his posture and shot!

When Varane stepped forward to block the ball, he unexpectedly saw Van Persie passing the ball straight into the right rib of the penalty area.

Rooney stepped into the penalty area and shot with a half-turned shot!

The football flew to the near corner of the goal and was blocked by goalkeeper Diego Lopez!

Rooney sighed to the sky and turned around and gave Van Persie a thumbs up.

Ramos had to say hello to Marcelo and let the opponent retreat back to the middle when defending.

Because Tang Hong's threat is too great, he must get closer to the opponent in his defensive position.

But in the end, Manchester United still has Van Persie and Rooney to be restricted!

Two minutes later, Real Madrid launched a fast attack on the right. Di Maria quickly went down the right after receiving Alonso's long pass, but the subsequent cross flew directly out of the baseline in the air!

Although Di Maria made a cross today, she performed poorly in the first half overall.

Real Madrid midfielder failed to create obvious threats, especially the offensive organization has not been able to smoothly become smooth, which has resulted in Higuain being almost useless. With his strong personal ability, Ronaldo is still creating threats with limited support from his teammates, which really reflects the value of a superstar.

The first half was about to end, and Manchester United took the initiative to control the rhythm. It seemed that Manchester United did not intend to attack, and the forward line retreated to the midfield and cooperated with his teammates to pass the ball.

Manchester United can afford to spend money, and it is reasonable to seek stability.

But Real Madrid had to race against time. When their midfield formation slightly forward and actively counterattacked, Tang Hong faced 272, Aberoa and Khedira on the left to double-team the ball towards the sideline, as if he was in a situation of being surrounded by enemies, but he had gained limited space for himself to complete a pass.

The football flew over 272's head. He looked back and saw that Shinji Kagawa quickly stepped forward without any delay!

When Shinji Kagawa quickly dribbled into the frontcourt, the Real Madrid defense quickly retreated, but Shinji Kagawa saw Rooney's running forward, and he immediately kicked out and sent a straight pass over the top!

Ramos and Varane retreated together and attacked Rooney for a pincer attack. However, when the football flew over, Lu Xiaopang kept volleying and kicking the ball into the upper left corner of the goal!

Diego Lopez is on the way to attack, subconsciously making a save but cannot touch the football and is powerless to turn the world back!

Ramos and Varane raised their hands together to signal Rooney to offside, but the lineman showed no signs.

The cheers from Old Trafford were shaking the sky and the earth!

Rooney roared passionately and rushed to the sidelines, then opened his arms and raised his head and closed his eyes in the corner flag area!

"OMG! Manchester United's next goal! Wayne Rooney!

Real Madrid's eagerness to counterattack caused a flaw in the defense line to be caught by Manchester United!

Shinji Kagawa's kick was just right, and Rooney's direct volley shot after running offside and sunk Real Madrid!

Manchester United leads Real Madrid in total score, which means that even if Real Madrid scores two more goals, they can only drag the game into overtime!

But with Manchester United's performance today, it is probably difficult for Real Madrid to guarantee that they will not concede the ball again.

Manchester United now leads Real Madrid with a total score of 5:3!"

The camera swept through the Real Madrid generals on the field. They looked different under pressure. Some people had expressionless expressions, some wrote their feelings of loss on their faces, while others were still full of fighting spirit.

Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid's last attack, Ronaldo pressed Ferdinand's shoulder with both hands while jumping in the penalty area, which made the referee call him a foul and aroused his dissatisfaction.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Manchester United fans applauded and cheered, and they were absolutely satisfied with the team's performance today!

Real Madrid fans who came from afar kept shaking their heads.

It seems that the team's hopes for a comeback are extremely slim.

Mourinho turned his head expressionlessly and walked along the sidelines towards the player passage. Ferguson did not show his complacent expression, and his expression was very calm.

When the players returned to the locker room, everyone consciously closed their mouths to listen as Ferguson began to speak.

Ferguson said loudly: "I know Real Madrid, I am familiar with Mourinho, and they still have 45 minutes to work hard to rewrite their destiny!

Real Madrid will not surrender, and Mourinho will not admit defeat!

The real decisive battle is coming, ask yourself, are you becoming optimistic because the situation is in our favor?

If that's the case, then we'll have trouble in the second half!

Don’t underestimate Real Madrid, don’t be blindly optimistic!

We will eliminate them into the quarterfinals. Now our destiny is in our own hands. If we want to hand over our destiny to our opponents, we will make fatal mistakes!

In the second half, limiting Real Madrid's scoring is the first task, and we need to perform harder!

Especially those of them who can pass a good shot, don't make them comfortable on the court."

Manchester United players nodded one after another. After Ferguson reminded him that when he first returned to the locker room, the players who were extremely excited to talk and laugh were calmed down a little while becoming more focused.

The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. Before the kickoff, Mourinho made a stake.

All three substitution quotas are used up!

Di Maria, 272, Aberoa was substituted.

Benzema, Modric, Kaka appears!

After this substitution, Real Madrid's formation was a bit deformed, but the offensive firepower was more powerful, but there was no doubt that it was too strong.

The so-called balance of the formation is based on the strength comparison. Real Madrid needs at least two goals to drag the game into overtime, so there is nothing to worry about at this time.

They even lined up three defenders.

Ramos, Khdira, Varane.

4 midfielders.

Alonso, Modric, Kaka, Marcelo.

Benzema, Higuain, and C Ronaldo are partnering with the Trident.

After the second half began, Manchester United's tactics to restrict harassment of Real Madrid in two rounds began to fail.

Because Real Madrid has more midfielders and the players' skills are excellent, they have stronger awareness of finding space to run.

It is hard to say how tall the tacit understanding Alonso, Modric and Kaka are, but the full use of the field width, plus Marcelo and Ramos on the wing, as well as the three forwards themselves in the front, forced Manchester United's defense to retreat even more, and the space in the midfield was fully utilized by Real Madrid!

The situation is starting to get bad for Manchester United.

Ferguson expected that Mourinho would not sit back and wait for death, nor would he put the final battle in the last 20 minutes. After all, Real Madrid needed two goals!

Due to the deterrence of C Ronaldo, Benzema and Higuain, four Manchester United defenders contracted the backcourt and the two midfielders had to restlessly act as barriers in the front of the penalty area.

In the 51st minute of the game, Modric received the ball from the middle of the frontcourt and then passed it diagonally to the side. Marcelo assisted the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to C Ronaldo in front.

When C Ronaldo was about to wipe Raphael, he was tripped to the ground by his legs.

Raphael was shown a yellow card by the referee.

Seeing this, Ferguson immediately gave orders to Mike Ferran and replaced Valencia.

After Valencia quickly ran to warm up, he was arranged by McFerran after he appeared.

Only 3 minutes later, Manchester United used the first substitution quota, and Valencia came on the field to replace Rafael.

Now we need to speed up and fight better people to strengthen our defense!

Real Madrid is difficult to create a threat in the penalty area. Even if Manchester United does not want to set up a bus, their opponents have too strong control over the ball. When Real Madrid plays out offensive pressure, Manchester United can only shrink to the front area.

This has led to Real Madrid's midfielders being able to use their strength to create threats.

The worst thing is that Manchester United even has very few opportunities to counterattack fast breaks.

Being besieged by opponents for a long time inevitably made the situation more critical to Manchester United.

In the 59th minute of the game, Kaka's long shot from the right side of the penalty area was saved by De Gea!

Ferguson continues to substitution!
Chapter completed!
