The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 66 fierce battle
Before the start of this game, everyone knew that Real Madrid would definitely not give up this game. Although they lost to Manchester United at home in the first round, they only lost by one goal, and if Mourinho did not have the fig leaf of the Champions League, he could He said there was a [-]% chance that he would be kicked out by Real Madrid at the end of the season.

And Manchester United will naturally not give up the advantage they have obtained. Ferguson will retire at the end of this season. It will be a dream for any head coach to be able to sum up his career with a Champions League.

So for both sides, this will be a battle of life and death.

This is why in the pre-match interviews, both coaches said that this will be a very difficult game.

In this game, Ferguson formed a 4231 formation for Manchester United, goalkeeper De Gea, Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra on the back line, and Carrick as the double midfielder in the midfield. On the forward line, Nani is the right midfielder, Valencia is on the left, Scholes is in the middle, and Rooney is the top striker.

On the Real Madrid side, Mourinho has a 4213 formation, goalkeeper Lopez, Ramos, Pepe, Varane and Marcelo on the back line, Modric and Khedira as double midfielders , Ozil is in the center, Ronaldo is on the left winger, Di Maria is on the right winger, and Benzema is the center forward.

From the starting lineups of both sides, we can see the opening tactics chosen by the two head coaches in this game.

Ferguson chose a defensive formation, with the advantage of two away goals and a goal difference, Ferguson is also ready to fight the opponent's counterattack.

As for Real Madrid, Mourinho also knows that there is no way out and attack is the only option.

Soon, less than 10 minutes before the start of the game, players from both sides appeared on the court.

The tens of thousands of Manchester United fans present also gave the team loud enough support.

The game soon started with the referee's whistle.

As Ferguson said when setting up the tactics before the game, from the beginning of the game, Real Madrid had no intention of testing Manchester United and immediately increased the speed from the beginning of the game.

The pace of the game between the two sides is very fast, and Manchester United is obviously prepared for the opponent's tactics. The numerical advantage in the midfield allows Manchester United to launch a crazy press from the midfield. This naturally allows Real Madrid to continue their passing rhythm. As the speed increases, naturally there are more and more mistakes.

This is exactly what Manchester United wanted, but soon Mourinho on the sidelines took the lead in adjusting the tactics, first of all, the retreat of Ronaldo and Di Maria, which made Real Madrid's midfield disadvantages well contained .

Rafael also had some difficulty facing Ronaldo's impact.

Di Maria and Evra were basically in a [-]-[-] situation, but Marcelo's back-row insertion finally gave Real Madrid a slight advantage on the left.

Fortunately, Dabao and Carrick assisted in defense, and the two of them also shared a lot of pressure on the defense on the two wings.

In the 14th minute of the game, Real Madrid completed the first shot after the start of the game.

Ronaldo encountered Rafael and Dabao's double-teaming on the wing, but Ronaldo still passed the ball under such circumstances, and Modric followed up in the middle with a long shot.

The quality of this shot is very high, the football goes straight to the goal.

Fortunately, De Gea's attention was very concentrated and his reaction was very fast. He hit the ball out of the bottom line with a single punch.

Overall, after 20 minutes of the game, Manchester United still fell into a slight disadvantage on the scene.

The main reason is that Real Madrid's two wingers are in such a good state today that Dabao and Carrick have to be involved in a lot of defensive attention. In this way, there will inevitably be some loopholes in the defense of the center.

And the linkage between Modric and Ozil in the middle also put enough pressure on Manchester United's defense.

In the 27th minute of the game, Ronaldo once again took the ball on the wing and faced Rafael's defense.

But this time Dabao arrived very quickly. When the opponent was just about to start, Dabao stepped forward directly with a sliding tackle, shoveling Ronaldo out of the sideline with the ball.

After Ronaldo stood up, he also glared at Dabao.

In Ronaldo's view, this guy is simply a rough butcher, and he is also a master of underhanded tactics.

Just like when he was knocked down just now, this guy stretched out his hand and pinched his waist, which also made him lose his strength.

Seeing the other party glaring at him, Dabao also spread his hands, as if he didn't know.

Seeing Dabao's expression, Ronaldo was also furious, turned around and protested to the referee, but obviously the referee didn't see the action just now, what he saw was Dabao first shoveled the ball and then accidentally Bring Ronaldo to the ground, so this ball is not a foul in the eyes of the referee.

But what happened next made Dabao's face a little ugly.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Carrick dribbled the ball in the middle, just passed the halfway line, and was directly pushed to the ground from behind by Modric, and the opponent didn't feel ashamed at all.

And just 3 minutes later, Rafael and Nani dribbled the ball to the bottom line after a wonderful two-to-one cooperation on the wing, but Pepe, who was rushed over, dribbled the ball and shoveled the bottom line .

From the playback footage, I saw that Pepe's ball was aimed at people.

A conflict almost broke out between the two sides.

Dabao stood in front of everyone and blocked all his teammates, and then directly pointed at Pepe in front of the referee.

"What the hell are you waiting for!"

For this reason, Dabao was also directly warned by the referee.

Dabao knew that this was an act of revenge by the other party. Damn it, only labor and management can bully others. When will it be others' turn to bully labor and management.

Labor and management are not afraid of playing football, and labor and management are not afraid of kicking people.

Looking at the bald Pepe, Dabao began to look for opportunities to teach him a lesson.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared, and the opportunity Dabao was looking for came quickly.

In the 39th minute of the game, Carrick's long shot from outside the penalty area hit Varane and flew out of the baseline, giving Manchester United a chance for a corner kick.

Dabao also changed his usual position on the outside, and directly came to the penalty area to participate in the grabbing points, and stood directly beside Pepe. They got entangled in the penalty area, and after a while, they hadn't waited for the serve.

Pepe was overshadowed by Dabao.

The referee also blew the whistle to pause the game and ran into the penalty area. At this time, Pepe fell to the ground clutching his stomach.

But everyone didn't know what happened, even the referee didn't see clearly.
