Star card system.

The warm-up is over and the players from both teams return to the locker room.

Looking at the soldiers in white sitting below, Zidane looked calm.

Just like his on-field style.

Quite the demeanor of a general.

"Boys, the game is about to start.

"I hope you still remember what I have said to you often recently.

"What kind of team are Manchester United?
“They are a wealthy family, no problem, but they are a down and out wealthy family.

“Being able to get to where I am now is a lot of luck.

“The second thing is the strong fighting spirit, which cannot be denied.

“But the reason why we emphasize fighting spirit is because we don’t have enough strength.

"Do you think this is true?

"Because they are not strong enough, they have to work hard on their willpower. This is their advantage.

“This is also the biggest reason why they were able to rush until the very end in a long season.
"It's amazing that Manchester United can win a league like the Premier League.

"But this is the Champions League, not the Premier League.

"Every game is head-to-head, with no room for error.

"As long as we perform at our normal level, we will definitely beat Manchester United!

"I have great confidence in you!
“Come on, boys, beat Manchester United at home!

"Get tickets for the finals in advance!"

There is nothing wrong with what Zidane said, it is true.

Manchester United is not as strong as Real Madrid, this is true.

And Manchester United has relied on willpower to reach this point. This is also a reality.

So Real Madrid is here to compete with technology today, this is their purpose.

And a big victory is their goal!
Even in the away game, Real Madrid is still very confident in its own strength!

This game must be won!
In the home team's dressing room, Mourinho's expression was not so relaxed.

Even a little serious.

This is different from the past.

Looking at the players present, Mourinho was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Our opponent is Real Madrid, you all know that.

"Real Madrid is very strong and you know that.

“If we make the slightest mistake, they can catch it, and you know it.

“So in this game, I first ask each of you to defend with all your strength!
"Never give your opponent any chance!
“Then, if the opponent makes a mistake, our offense must seize the opportunity!
"Facing an opponent like Real Madrid, we will definitely have a chance!

“After all, their defensive line has strong offensive power, so they are likely to press higher up!

"When the time comes, xia will lead the attack, advance quickly, and score goals as soon as possible!

“As long as we can win against Real Madrid at home, we will have half a foot in the Champions League final!

"Boys, I have full confidence in you!

"come on!
"Win against Real Madrid and listen to the happy applause and cheers of the fans at Old Trafford!"

The coaches of both teams expected their teams to win this game early. Players from both sides ran onto the court, the referee's whistle sounded, and the game began!
Real Madrid kick off first!
Ronaldo and Benzema passed each other in the midfield, and the ball was passed to the backcourt.

As soon as the game started, the Brazilian full-back couldn't hold back his offensive urge and sprinted quickly to assist!
Sanchez goes for it!
Marcelo accelerates and sprints!
The ball slides forward along the sideline!

Marcelo used his speed to get past Sanchez!

But there was Manchester United right back Valencia in front of him!

Put the shovel directly!

This tackle is very fierce!

Marcelo didn't push the ball, he hit the ball decisively, and then jumped to avoid the defense. Modric in the middle is already in place!
Take the ball and move forward slightly!
Cristiano Ronaldo goes forward to get the ball and pulls wide!

Rojo was completely thrown away by the Portuguese's change of pace!
Benzema in the middle leaped high and headed the ball into the goal!
This time his movement was very accurate and Smalling failed to block his header!

The ball went straight to the corner!

De Gea jumped up and blocked the ball with one palm!

This time the ball speed is not fast and the defense is very solid!
Ashley Young made a big save, and Real Madrid's attack came to an end.

Although no goal was scored, the Manchester United fans in the stands were shocked.

Such a swift attack was worthy of the performance of the giants of the century.

Next, Real Madrid's offense was still fierce.

Another continuous midfield pass, this time the ball was handed to Modric.

In front of the penalty area, Modric kicked up and shot!
The ball slides out!

Only a little short!
Five minutes later, Manchester United's attack came again.

This time, their number one star Cristiano Ronaldo finally broke out.

In fact, Ronaldo performed very well in the two attacks just now.

The first ball was passed to Benzema, which helped Benzema create a header opportunity and almost gave himself an assist statistic.

The second ball moved forward quickly, taking away Manchester United's defensive attention and giving Modric time to fully adjust before he could shoot such a high-quality shot.

Now, Toni Kroos's pass penetrated the Manchester United midfield line and passed between Matic and Fellaini!

World class passing!
Cristiano Ronaldo quickly moved forward, received the ball, and quickly rushed into the penalty area!
Facing Valencia's defense, Ronaldo stunned the opponent with two bicycle movements.

Pull the ball toward the baseline, then dial it back quickly!
Valencia was shaken away!
Rojo goes for it!

Ronaldo pulls the ball outward again!
Another defensive player escaped!
Suddenly kick up and shoot!

It's a low shot!

Directly avoiding De Gea who was defending at the near corner!
De Gea fell to the ground quickly and it was too late to save!
Going to score?
not at all!
A figure suddenly appeared from behind and quickly blocked it with his feet!
The ball hit the Manchester United player's foot and bounced into the penalty area!
Smalling did not dare to push forward when facing the goal. He did not turn around, but directly made a clearance and kicked out of the baseline!

This defense is world class!
Extreme rescue!

Manchester United escapes again!
Although Real Madrid got a corner kick, they missed a great scoring opportunity.

De Gea stood up and looked back.

At this time, the spikes of the player who had just made a crucial save were hanging on the net.

It's Xia Xing.

Just now he was defending on the left wing, and Ronaldo was making waves on the other side.

Xia Xing quickly retreated to the penalty area to prevent Ronaldo's pass and shot into the far corner.

Finally, he cleared the ball at the back point.

However, the defense throws itself directly towards the goal quickly. Although the tackle defense is successful, it is also very dangerous.

Xia Xing's head was very close to the goalpost and almost collided with it.

He made a clearance with his left foot, but his right foot got tangled in the net.

The referee stopped the game, and De Gea and Smalling were helping Xia Xing untie his sneakers.

"Xia, thank you for your defense just now. If it weren't for you, Cristiano Ronaldo would have scored just now."

"You block the near corner, and I clear the far corner. We cooperate with each other tacitly."

"Before the game, I said that I could keep a clean sheet, but it seems that I am not sure. Real Madrid's attack was really fierce in this game..."

Smolin said nothing, but patted Xia Xing on the shoulder.

After all, if he lost the ball just now, he is also responsible.

Xia Xing regained control of his actions, and Real Madrid's corner kick was also ready to be taken.

Now Manchester United is still in danger... (End of chapter)
