All-around center

From the moment he entered the National Stadium in Bucharest, Suk felt the enthusiastic voice of local fans.

Even as an opponent, Su Ke received a lot of cheers.

For these Romanian fans, they have very few opportunities to see Suker in person. Their home team Steaua Bucharest finally made it to the Champions League and even met Real Madrid.

Therefore, in addition to die-hard fans, some local people also came after hearing the news.

This also resulted in the popularity and attendance of this game being very high.

The only regret is that Su Ke has been wearing a substitute vest. Anyone who has watched the game basically knows that during the warm-up period, most of the starting players are wearing game jerseys, and the substitute vest will most likely not start.

This is also true. When the warm-up was over and the players from both sides entered the stadium, the fans regretted to see Suker sitting on the bench and not appearing on the starting list.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Steaua Bucharest (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Tatarusanu.

Defenders: Latov Levisi, Gardosh, Zukara, Georgevski.

Midfielder: Tenese, Balchenu, Stanciu, Pintilly, Poppa.

Forward: Kapetanos.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Diego Lopez.

Defenders: Srna, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo.

Midfielder: Kroos, Casemiro, Kaka.

Forwards: Bale, Benzema, Pato.

The lineups of both sides were confirmed. Looking at Real Madrid's all-star lineup, Steaua Bucharest was also nervous.

Each of these are core-level players from the five major leagues, and together, their combat effectiveness is even more terrifying.

The most critical thing is that as Real Madrid's super thigh, Suker is still sitting on the bench.

Even if they pass this level, there is still a bigger BOSS standing in front of them.

Stancho took deep breaths and adjusted his breathing.

His eyes looked across, filled with fighting spirit.

It's a pity that Suker was on the bench instead of starting.

But they will use their performance to force Suker out.

Suk was on the bench, leaning on the backrest, with his feet on the bucket in front of him, his arms folded, looking lazy.

He is not worried about any problems that may arise during the game.

They had studied Steaua Bucharest before, but their performance was not strong enough to make them feel threatened.

"The players on both sides are ready. Unfortunately, Suker failed to appear on the court. However, according to the information disclosed by the Real Madrid coaching staff, Suker needs to rest due to injury."

Ronania's commentator couldn't help but grin.

What about the liar?

He didn't even believe this!

You were bouncing around a few days ago, and suddenly you got injured?

With Suk's iron physique, how could he be injured just because he was injured?

It was just that they thought that Steaua Bucharest could not pose a threat to them, so they gave Su Ke a rest.

This feeling of being underestimated is extremely bad!

But the problem is that there is indeed a big gap between their overall strength and Real Madrid, and it is natural for them to be underestimated.

I can still bear the pain.

After all, football is a sport where strength speaks for itself!

"Guys, cheer up and let's show them something awesome!"

Goalkeeper and captain Tatarusanu waved his arms and shouted loudly.

The players of Steaua Bucharest responded immediately and loudly.

At this time, the whistle sounded.

Real Madrid kicks off quickly!

"The whole game has begun. This is the home game of Steaua Bucharest against Real Madrid in the 2013/2014 Champions League group stage. It is also Real Madrid's first game in the Champions League this season. In the absence of Suker, can Real Madrid Successfully win the game?”

In the field, Real Madrid has already kicked off quickly.

Benzema, Pato and Bale began to sprint forward, looking for opportunities to advance.

The ball is handed to Kroos and Kaka in the midfield to drive the rhythm.

Real Madrid did not play in a hurry. They steadily controlled the ball at their feet and used passing and movement to carry out penetrating passes.

Real Madrid's passing mainly consists of short passes and one touch. Under the triangular squares, they quickly pass the ball and advance forward.

Steaua Bucharest clearly felt the pressure, and they were also very decisive. They immediately retreated in the midfield and frontcourt, retracted the defense line, and formed a half-court defensive formation. While defending, they looked for opportunities to counterattack.

"Response very quickly!"

Suk whispered.

But if they set up a position to defend, Real Madrid will be unable to penetrate?

Suk turned to look at Kaka.

Sure enough, Kaka has already begun to direct Cross to improve his position.

After Cross improved his position, it was equivalent to pressing a nail in the midfield defense of Steaua Bucharest.

Not only can he move left and right in the frontcourt, but he can also launch an attack suddenly.

If Su Ke is present, this job belongs to Su Ke.

But after all, Pato can't play like Suker, and he doesn't have that kind of overall perspective.

Ancelotti's evaluation of Pato is that he is an excellent attacker, but he is definitely not a shrewd leader!

Su Ke has multiple responsibilities, but it is also a manifestation of his versatility.

The ball was passed to Bell's feet, and Bell started quickly, using his speed directly on the right wing and throwing away half of his body.

"Bale sweeps the ball in front of the goal! Benzema!"

Bang!

The goalkeeper reacted quickly and scooped the ball away with his legs before Benzema.

Seeing this scene, Ancelotti couldn't help but shake his head.

Bell's last pass still needs to be practiced. At least it is a sweep pass in front of the goal. It is too close to the goal and the opponent's goalkeeper can quickly block it with one step.

Of course, this also tests the goalkeeper.

After all, if you make a wrong judgment, you are likely to encounter backlash.

Therefore, most goalkeepers will calmly stay on the goal line and make saves.

It can only be said that the goalkeeper of Steaua Bucharest is very proactive.

After completing the clearance, Steaua Bucharest immediately counterattacked.

But they passed the ball twice and were intercepted by Real Madrid.

"Ah~~~This ball was not passed very well!" the Romanian commentator wailed, holding his head.

It was originally an opportunity to counterattack, but it focused too much on long-distance passes, which led to it being intercepted by Real Madrid.

Casemiro easily protected the ball in front of him and waited until Kaka got close before passing it steadily.

Casemiro straightened up, wondering if it was an illusion.

He felt that Steaua Bucharest's passing line was too simple and easy to guess.

When playing in La Liga, every pass is full of concealment, difficult to predict, and full of confusion.

But Steaua Bucharest's passing is just like a straight pass. You can tell what these guys want to do at a glance.

Once you understand this, it's so easy to tackle.

Real Madrid launched another attack, still initiated by Bell on the right.

After Suker came on as a substitute, Bell became the main offensive line.

However, Steaua Bucharest also did a good job of containing the right wing.

Until Bell started to pass back, Benzema retreated to play the ball, and the two wings moved forward diagonally, the Bucharest Steaua's defense became chaotic.

Cross suddenly made a pass.

Pato immediately got into position and volleyed sideways.

"Pato!!"

yelled Spanish commentator Gonzalez.

But the next second, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared on the path of the ball and swatted the ball away.

"Oh~~ It's Tatarusanu again, this Romanian goalkeeper is in extremely hot condition!"

The ball landed in the left rib area. Latov Levisi looked at Bell who was rushing toward him, and he hurriedly made a big kick to clear the ball.

"Steaua Bucharest made a huge clearance and the ball flew towards Real Madrid's half. Ramos and Capetanos competed for the top!"

As a high center forward in Greece, Kapetanos has a strong and tall figure.

Even physically stronger than Ramos.

But Ramos still relied on experience to successfully involve Capetanos.

The ball hit the shoulders of the two men and flew not far ahead.

And there, a player wearing a blue and red striped jersey appeared.

"Stancho! Caught a little!"

Under the gaze of many eyes, Stanciu calmly padded the ball, and the ball bounced on the ground.

Taking advantage of this time, Stanciu looked directly at Real Madrid's goal.

He found that Real Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez was positioned very forward, standing in front of the penalty spot.

Seeing this scene, Stanciu immediately gritted his teeth.

Without thinking too much, facing the ball that bounced and fell again, he struggled to pick up his right foot and volleyed with one kick.

Bang!

The ball was hit with great force and hit Real Madrid's goal like a cannonball.

This turn of events stunned everyone.

After all, no one expected that Stanciu would shoot directly from this position.

And this accuracy

Uh-huh! !

The ball hits the net.

No matter how quickly Diego Lopez retreated, his feet were never as fast as the flying ball. He could only watch the ball hit the net.

In the 23rd minute, Steaua Bucharest scored the first goal!

"World Wave!!!!!!——"

"Stanciu!! Talented player from Romania!!"

"This should be 20 meters long, right? This is definitely 20 meters long! Oh my god! With a world wave goal spanning 20 meters, Stanciu became the hero of Steaua Bucharest!"

"He helped the team score the first goal. When almost no one expected them, they believed in themselves. This decisive long-range shot was so exciting!"

The Romanian commentator was beyond excited.

He's going crazy!

Equally excited was Stanciu.

After the ball hit the net, he froze on the spot for several seconds.

He didn't come back to his senses until his teammates rushed up.

"God! You scored!"

"You scored against Real Madrid, that's great!"

"World wave! This long shot is so cool!"

"Well done, Stancho!"

The Steaua Bucharest teammates were overjoyed.

They were having a hard time, thinking about how to fight Real Madrid and push them back into the dangerous area as much as possible.

But this time, Stanciu gave them a big surprise.

This long-range shot directly broke the situation on the court and also blindsided Real Madrid.

"Are you blind?"

Casemiro couldn't help but be shocked.

Kaka grinned: "Whether it was a fluke or not, the opponent has already scored."

"Who would have thought that he would shoot directly from a distance, how could it be 20 meters!"

The head coach Ancelotti on the sidelines also shook his head.

There is no way!

This is a magical ball!

Before, Steaua Bucharest's forward pass was intercepted or intercepted by Real Madrid after only a few passes.

Therefore, they must have had concerns in the process of advancing.

However, who would have thought that they would shoot directly from a distance, and so decisively.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

After scoring a world wave, Steaua Bucharest's morale was greatly boosted.

They began to organize the defense line and used strong confrontations to stubbornly obstruct Real Madrid's advancement.

During this period, they even fouled Real Madrid several times.

Under this deliberate foul, some players of Real Madrid were also angry and unable to remain rational, making several irrational dribbling breakthroughs.

Time was also consumed by this kind of attack.

When Real Madrid was about to attack again, they found that the first half of the game was over and the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

"A wonderful game! Steaua Bucharest stubbornly defended the score and entered the second half with a one-goal lead!"

"We must make good adjustments and continue to fight Real Madrid's attack in the second half!"

The Romanian commentator was very excited.

Steaua Bucharest played much better than they thought.

Especially after scoring a goal in the first half, the morale was high and the defense became stronger and more decisive.

As long as they survived the second half and did not make too big mistakes, they might have a chance to win the game, or at least get a draw.

The opponent is Real Madrid!

Getting a draw and a precious point from Real Madrid will greatly promote their form in the Champions League.

In the locker room of Real Madrid, Ancelotti calmly arranged tactics.

A goal behind will not make Real Madrid panic.

Steaua Bucharest's magical goal did catch them off guard, but Real Madrid was the most competitive team in the second half.

Real Madrid's resilience is top-notch in the entire European level.

"Steaua Bucharest will defend this point, especially at the beginning of the second half, they will immediately adopt a conservative defensive tactic, and what we need to do is to disrupt the opponent's defense as much as possible in 45-60 minutes. After 60 minutes, it is time for us to really exert our strength!"

In a fast-paced, high-confrontation game, there are really few teams that can compete with Real Madrid.

In order to further ensure victory, Ancelotti turned to Suker and said, "Be ready, get ready to play after 60 minutes."

Suker nodded, indicating that he understood.

The other Real Madrid players were in high spirits.

The thigh is going to play, so what's there to worry about!

Of course, they didn't play well in the first half, but Suker is a strong guarantee and can always cover for them.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Real Madrid launched a terrifying offensive frenzy, hitting the defense of Steaua Bucharest again and again.

At this moment, Steaua Bucharest also felt the offensive impact from the top giants.

Every attack would make their defense shaky, and they almost gritted their teeth to bear it.

But in this process, both physical strength and energy were rapidly consumed.

After entering the 55th minute, they had the problem of "losing" and almost let Real Madrid score.

But Steaua Bucharest still couldn't resist after repeated attacks.

In the 58th minute, Bale made a strong breakthrough on the right wing and cut in, directly tearing open the defense of Steaua Bucharest, pretending to shoot and calmly passing.

After Benzema received the ball, he dribbled past the last defensive player of the opponent with a fried meatball under his feet, and followed up with his left foot to shoot.

The ball went into the goal, and Real Madrid finally equalized the score.

"Ah~~~ I couldn't hold it!!"

The Romanian commentator suddenly became nervous, and he felt his heart beating rapidly.

"It's time to make a substitution, right? We must make adjustments, the defense line can't hold on!"

Sure enough, Steaua Bucharest made a substitution adjustment.

The substitution was made in pairs, and two defensive players were replaced in succession to further consolidate the defense line.

This scene made the Romanian commentator feel relieved.

"Next"

He was about to speak, but his tone suddenly paused.

There were bursts of exclamations in the stadium, and the next second, the camera turned.

A player in a white jersey appeared in the camera.

The camera turned, and the name of R with his back to the goal came into view.

The entire Bucharest National Stadium suddenly fell into silence.

One by one, the local fans seemed to be strangled by the throat and suddenly lost all their strength.

The players of Steaua Bucharest in the stadium, who had a strong fighting spirit in their eyes, suddenly became terrified when they saw this figure.

60 minutes!

Score 1:1!

In the first half and the first 15 minutes of the second half, Real Madrid messed up their defense.

And at this time point, Suker came on the court, which was the end of them!

"Oh~~~ Suker~~~"

The Romanian commentator's voice was weak.

If he still felt that there was hope of a draw just a moment ago, then at this moment, he was left with only helplessness in his heart.

The players of Steaua Bucharest also looked at each other.

As they played, they were so focused that they forgot about Suker's problem.

And when Suker stood on the sidelines and was about to enter the field, the feeling was simply terrible.

At this time, Suker was like Satan, who frightened the West, walking into the field with the footsteps of a devil.

At least, for Steaua Bucharest, this was their most real feeling.

How can they play like this?

At the beginning, they thought they couldn't win, so playing a game with Suker was a very meaningful thing for them.

But now, when they really have the possibility of a draw, they don't want to see Suker!

Of course, there are also people who look excited, that is Stanciu.

After a long confrontation, they finally forced Suker out.

Professional players need to pursue victory, and Suker's absence is the best thing for Steaua Bucharest.

But Stanciu has selfish motives, he still wants to compete with his idol Suk.
