Chapter 474 The fatal arc above the Millennium Stadium!
With the first goal of the Champions League final, the balance on the field was broken and the situation changed accordingly.

The underdog Red Devils Manchester United became the leader, while the widely favored Real Madrid became the laggard.

A football match is a ninety-minute game of fierce physical and mental confrontation!

How should we play when we are tied, how should we play when we are ahead, and how should we play when we are behind?
Everything is planned!

Some head coaches will even be so meticulous as to decide at which minute of the game they will make substitutions and who they will substitute!

Although they conceded the first goal, it did surprise Zidane and everyone at Real Madrid.

However, this did not come as a surprise to them.

After all, Manchester United, which was able to defeat the French Ligue 1 champions (Monaco), the Premier League champions (Leicester City), and the Serie A champions (Juventus) all the way to the final, cannot be an easy team to deal with.

They also made plans and preparations in case they lost the ball first.

So, what Real Madrid needs to do next is to proceed according to the plan!
So, after the kick-off, Real Madrid, who had possession of the ball, immediately organized wave after wave of fierce attacks.

In just ten minutes, Real Madrid completely suppressed Manchester United in the half and completed five shots!

Although three of them were long shots that missed the goal.

However, the remaining two shots tested De Gea.

If Modric's long-range shot had not been at a slightly correct angle and Ronaldo's header had not slipped out of the goal, they might have equalized quickly after scoring.

Facing the sudden strength of the Galacticos, the Red Devils simply built an iron wall in their own half according to the coach's pre-match deployment.

However, the key is how long Manchester United can last under Real Madrid's continued high offensive pressure!
Amid the deafening cheers of tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans, Real Madrid's momentum grew stronger and stronger, and for a time it was almost hard for Manchester United players to breathe.

When the first half entered the injury time, Ronaldo dribbled on the left and was fouled by Herrera, thus winning the team a chance for a free kick on the left side of the frontcourt.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid has changed coaches and tactics over the years, but has never given up the "fine tradition" of advocating crosses.

This is also a reasonable positional warfare plan with rich frontcourt configuration.

After all, the two most effective means of positional warfare are unreasonable long-range shots and high-altitude bombing using crosses!
Real Madrid's efficiency in scoring goals from crosses this season is higher than in the past two seasons.

The reason is very simple. Under Zidane's coaching this season, Bale has reduced the frequency of holding the ball and increased the number of times he enters the penalty area to score.

This also gives the team a more reliable attacking point in addition to Ronaldo in the crossing tactics.

Even though Bale was sitting on the bench at this moment, there were as many as five Real Madrid players who entered the Manchester United penalty area and were ready to score!
Isco, Benzema, Ramos, Varane, and the most threatening La Liga aerial overlord Cristiano Ronaldo!
Facing Real Madrid's set-piece attack, Ling Feng also returned to the penalty area and took the initiative to mark Ramos.

The reason why Ling Feng was assigned as an offensive player to mark the captain of Real Madrid was because there were too many header experts in the opponent's team.
After taking a look at Ibrahimovic who was marking Real Madrid's tallest player Varane, Ling Feng felt someone push his chest hard, and Ramos' provocative words rang in his ears:
"Hey, little bastard!"

Ling Feng has his own opinion on "Water Master" Ramos.

Ramos is the teammate that every player wants, and the opponent that the striker least wants to face!
Before the game, the defender that the world's No. 1 central defender and forward least wanted to meet had been targeting him.

Not only did he make harsh remarks before the game, he also said he would freeze himself.

During the game, Ramos repeatedly called on his teammates to stop him from committing fouls.

Especially because his flying tackle just now failed to bring down Ling Feng, which led to the first goal, Ramos was even more angry and determined to teach the Red Devils number seven a lesson.

So, this time when he came to the penalty area and saw Ling Feng coming to defend him, he directly started using his usual little tricks of verbal provocation.

However, he thought that his foul language would immediately arouse Ling Feng's anger, and might even make him lose his temper and take action.

But Ling Feng's answer caught him off guard:
“Sergio, you don’t have to speak English to me, I can understand Spanish.”

"By the way, your English accent is pretty good. You must have practiced it for a while beforehand, right?"

Ling Feng's fluent Spanish made Ramos stunned at first.

Well, why doesn't this guy play by the rules?

Under normal circumstances, if you scold your opponent, he will either remain silent or directly respond.

But this English boy didn't accept the challenge directly. Instead, he found another way and started chatting with him as if he was talking to an old friend!

What made him feel most like he was punching cotton was that Ling Feng guessed correctly.

The insulting word "little bastard" was learned from Ronaldo before the game.

The purpose was to irritate Ling Feng during the game!
It's a pity that this trick is useless.

What Ramos didn't expect was that as players from both sides pushed and blocked each other in the penalty area, he couldn't even push Ling Feng!

Even trying to use his body to block the opponent's position, he was unable to squeeze away this English boy who did not look very strong!
I rely on!

Is this guy so tough?

What did he eat every day?
Why doesn’t it look strong at all, but looks like a buffalo!
While feeling surprised, Ramos could only continue to hold back his strength and physically confront Ling Feng.

Ling Feng was not polite either. He stuck to Ramos tightly and secretly pulled the hem of his jersey with his hands to prevent him from heading the ball easily.

He still showed concern:

"Sergio, did you miss dinner?"

"Please use some strength!"

"Aren't you going to freeze me? I'm right here, come on!"

Just as Ramos was about to respond, the referee finally blew the whistle.

The next second, the arc ball taken by Kroos drew a beautiful arc in the air, passed the crowded front point, and flew straight to the back point!

Under the watchful eyes of 82,000 fans at the Millennium Stadium, Real Madrid's No. 7 overpowered Bailly who was defending him for the third time in this game, used his terrifying jumping and air-staying abilities to get the first point and completed a header!
Even if De Gea moved to the back post in advance, he was ready to block the near corner.

But this powerful header came so fast that as soon as he raised his hands, he felt the ball flying over his head and hit the net behind him!
The next second, the pure white on the stands suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy!

"Goal!!!"

"Ronaldo scored! The score was tied!"

"This is his 11th goal in the Champions League this season and his 105th Champions League goal in his career!"

"The well-deserved champion of the Champions League!"

With this lion's head shake, Ronaldo equalized the score on the field and tied Ling Feng in the Champions League scorer list! Moreover, he also surpassed Raul, Eto'o and Messi, becoming the first player in football to score in three Champions League finals!
The number one player in the Champions League, so terrifying!
"siuuuuuuuu~~~"

As Roco rushed to the corner flag area to perform his signature celebration, the Champions League final was once again brought back to a balance!
Not only that, after equalizing the score, Real Madrid's momentum became even more fierce.

However, as the formation pressed forward, a larger space inevitably appeared behind them, which also gave Manchester United the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack.

In the last minute of stoppage time, Manchester United completed a steal in the backcourt, and the ball possession and offense and defense were switched!
Ling Feng received a through pass from Bailly on the right and immediately dribbled forward.

However, after passing the top of the center circle, Modric hugged his waist with both hands and forcibly stopped the "Premier League run" that was about to start.

The price Modric paid for doing this was receiving the first yellow card of the game.

However, Modric still patted Ling Feng on the shoulder very friendly, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

Since the distance of this set-piece is about 40 meters, which is a bit too far, if you shoot directly, you must pursue extreme power to have enough speed to threaten Navas.

But the greater the power, the more difficult it is to achieve accuracy.

However, for the sake of ball speed, Ling Feng still chose to use great force to create a miracle!
There was only a crisp "bang" sound, and after a five-meter run-up, the Red Devil's No. 7 hit the ball hard in the lower middle part with the instep of his foot.

The next second, the ball turned into an afterimage and soared into the sky!

It seemed that the ball was about to fly to the second-tier stands, but when it flew over the Real Madrid penalty area, it suddenly fell rapidly!
This scared Navas, and he quickly jumped up and reached out to block it.

Fortunately, the distance and time left for the ball to fall were too short, so the ball did not hit the goal in the end, but flew out from over the crossbar of the goal, and hit the fence of the stands behind with a "bang", scaring the Real Madrid fans in the stands.

Such a close shot also made the Red Devils players and fans feel regretful.
Just as Ling Feng's powerful free kick was slightly above the crossbar, the referee Brich blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.

This whistle also made Mourinho and Manchester United players on the sidelines feel helpless.

If the whistle had been blown earlier, they would have been able to maintain their one-goal lead in the first half until halftime.

This will only be more beneficial for them in the second half of the game.

Unfortunately, the game did not go as they wished.

However, Ronaldo's goal once again reminded Manchester United players of a very cruel fact:

They are not facing an ordinary team, but the most successful team in the Champions League, the "Galactico Battleship" Real Madrid with many superstars!

. . .

During the short halftime break, neither side chose to make substitutions.

Obviously, both sides believe that they are currently
In the second half, Real Madrid took the initiative to unlock the diamond midfield cage against Ling Feng.

After all, the first half of the game had already proved that this trick could not trap Ling Feng at all.

Since we can't restrict Ling Feng, we'll use offense to suppress Manchester United!
As Real Madrid's attack became more aggressive, the two full-backs frequently provided assists, leaving only two central defenders, Varane and Ramos, behind them.

With both sides attacking and defending, the direction of the game became whether Real Madrid would be the first to break through Manchester United's "bus", or whether Manchester United's counterattack would be the first to pierce Real Madrid's heart?

And the answer will soon be revealed!
In the 53rd minute of the game, Real Madrid continued to attack. Benzema received the ball in the middle and knocked the ball back to Ronaldo on the left rib.

The latter kicked the ball from distance, but Bailly flew over to block the shot.

The ball bounced out and landed in the area in front of the penalty area.

Kante, who was nearby, turned on the motor mode, accelerated his short legs, and poked the ball away before Isco could make a second shot.

The ball flew forward, right towards the retreating Ling Feng.

Facing the incoming ball, the Red Devils' seven players immediately performed a wave of moves that amazed fans of both sides.
He first stopped the ball with his chest, and then, as if he had eyes on his back, he raised his leg and hooked it, and made a very chic back-to-back pass, passing the onrushing Modric.

Then, he turned around gracefully and with the instep of his right foot, he stopped the ball steadily in front of him.

The next second, Ling Feng swung his right leg without hesitation and kicked the ball towards the lower middle part with the instep!

This choice also surprised the Real Madrid players and Zidane on the sidelines.

what? !

It's not a dribbling move, it's a passing move?!

This season, due to the greatly increased goal efficiency, whether in the league or the Champions League, Ling Feng has contributed so many wonderful goals that the world seems to have forgotten the strongest weapon of the Red Devils' No. 7.

Yes, his strongest weapon is not his attack on the wing, nor his dribbling through the middle, but his deadly pass!

This artistic forty-five-degree long pass drew a beautiful arc spanning sixty meters above the Millennium Stadium, and then flew accurately from the right side of Manchester United's backcourt to the no-man's land on the left side of the frontcourt!

And a red figure sprinted towards the ball at an extremely fast speed!

It is Marcus Rashford, who is wearing the No. 19 jersey and is known as the "Magic Boy"!

At this moment, Real Madrid right-back Carvajal was still near the center line because he had just joined the attack and was unable to catch up with Rashford who had already started to speed up.

The problem was that he never expected that Ling Feng could actually capture the only gap in Real Madrid's formation in a very short time of turning around!
In this game, the young Rashford had basically no chance in front of the experienced Carvajal.

So far in the game, after playing for more than fifty minutes, he has only touched the ball thirteen times.

Not even one successful dribble!

It was precisely because there was no threat on his side that Carvajal dared to boldly make an assist.

However, Ling Feng did not expect that he would give the perfect opportunity for counterattack to Rashford, who had performed very poorly so far!

Looking at Rashford's running figure, Ling Feng's eyes were like torches, and his heart couldn't help but ripple:
Marcus, it's up to you!

However, perhaps because he had lost all confidence due to Carvajal's defense, when Rashford reached the front of the penalty area, facing Varane's defense, he did not choose to cut in and shoot, but chose to kick forward with his right foot and go directly to the bottom.

Then, before the ball goes out of the baseline, use your left foot to complete an inverted triangle!
"Inverted triangle!"

“Who can grab this spot?!”

The answer to the question was not Ibrahimovic who was tightly entangled by Ramos, but Rooney who came in from behind!

The Red Devils captain rushed out from the side and completed a push shot before Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro stretched his legs to clear the ball!
The next second, the ball stuck closely to the grass, flew past Navas' feet, and then went into the goal!
