1108 Heavy Resistance
Temple of football, Santiago Bernabéu.
On the evening of March 3th, the stars were shining, the Bernabéu stadium was brightly lit, and the stadium was illuminated like daytime.
When players from Real Madrid and Liverpool walked into the stadium, the biggest attraction expected by the outside world: Qin Xiong's return to the Bernabeu.
This didn't create much commotion.
The emotions shown by the Real Madrid fans in the stands are relatively rational and restrained.
There was no frenzy of reminiscing about the past, nor was there any targeted boos criticizing Qin Xiong for coming back as an opponent.
This just reflects the unique side of Real Madrid fans.
They love the club and want to see a high level of play.
For them, the mentality is more open-minded.
if I get it I am lucky, but if not, it is fate.
Those who leave are left. As long as it is not a player who joins a rival, then everything can be accepted naturally.
Moreover, they now have players who are considered the best by the outside world, such as Ronaldo and Kaka.
Such an atmosphere made Qin Xiong even happier.
He doesn't think that there is any grievance between him and Real Madrid, it's just that if they meet, they will get together, and if they don't, the fate of separation is over.
Real Madrid president Florentino sat in the box waiting for the start of the game.
His expression was more dignified, and he couldn't relax at all.
When Liverpool came to the Bernabeu as a guest with a 5:3 lead, when Real Madrid people were looking forward to the birth of a miracle, Florentino could not be optimistic, because as a leader, he must first think How to deal with defeat.
Real Madrid executives will naturally imagine how to proceed with the team's construction and development once they are eliminated by Liverpool at the Bernabeu.
Bear the brunt of it: who to find as a scapegoat!
For the journey of the second generation of Galaxy Battleship, if you can't soar into the sky, how can you move forward in a difficult world.It is a topic that cannot be avoided at all. No matter how difficult the problem is, it must be solved.
Now, Florentino is like a person in power waiting to be judged by fate. He can only witness how the wheels of reality turn out before making new decisions.
In any case, this is a superstar-studded game, which has been sought after and followed by countless fans all over the world.
The magnificent Champions League theme song echoed in the Bernabéu stadium.It indicates that the game is about to start.
"Welcome to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The second leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final will start here. The La Liga giants Real Madrid will play at home against the Premier League leader Red Army Liverpool. In the first leg at Anfield, Real Madrid Unfortunately, Madrid lost 3:5 away to Liverpool, and they will advance at home today. At least they have to beat Liverpool by two goals to hope for a comeback.
The good news is that the personnel of the two teams are very neat, and there is no shortage of major generals, which prevents the coaches of the two teams from being in a predicament of stretching their troops.
It is worth mentioning that the superstar Qin Xiong, who transferred from Real Madrid to Liverpool before the season, returned to the Bernabeu after a lapse of 9 months. He once won many honors and championships for Real Madrid here. The opponent is back here.Don't know how he will behave.
But Qin Xiong, dubbed the "lord killer" by Fleet Street, must be the number one enemy in Real Madrid's defense, otherwise Real Madrid will definitely regret it.
Well, let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides.
Real Madrid starting 433.
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas.
Defender: Ramos.Pepe, Albiol, Arbeloa.
Midfielders: Lars Diarra, Guti, Kaka.
Forwards: C Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuain.
Today Real Madrid has significantly strengthened their offense.They had to score at the Bernabeu, and more than one, so Pellegrini's approach to stepping up the attack was not a surprise.
Liverpool started today at 442.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Guard: Johnson.Carragher, Skrtel.Aurelio.
Midfield: Lucas, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard.
Forwards: Torres, Qin Xiong.
In fact Liverpool's lineup is more like a 4312.
Lucas, Mascherano, Alonso played three defensive midfielders, Gerrard central midfielder, Qin Xiong and Torres played double forwards.
Koeman removed Dirk Drivet today and used defensive midfielder Lucas. It seems that Koeman is also afraid of playing at the Bernabeu. He is afraid of Real Madrid's offense, thus further strengthening the midfield defense.
The game is about to start, let's see who can advance to the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League after 90 minutes, between Real Madrid and Liverpool! "
When Pellegrini saw Liverpool's starting lineup, he frowned.
Liverpool can play against Real Madrid desperately at Anfield.
But when he came to the Bernabeu, he obviously put on a posture of defending and counterattacking!
This is naturally not good for Real Madrid.
Because Real Madrid first required them to attack in terms of situation, attack madly!
And in the Bernabeu itself, Real Madrid seems to have been beaten with chicken blood and only has offense in their eyes!
Under multiple factors, Real Madrid is most afraid of opponents' defense and counterattack.
Pellegrini can't imagine how terrifying power Liverpool will show when they play a defensive counterattack.
He couldn't think of it, because Liverpool had hardly played like this before!
Now in order to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Liverpool wisely chose to defend and counterattack away.
The game started, and Real Madrid was fighting at the Bernabeu. At the beginning, they speeded up the pace of the game, and wanted to advance the offensive to the dangerous zone of Liverpool to launch a threatening offensive.
In the 2nd minute, C Ronaldo rushed forward with the ball after receiving a pass from Kaka on the left.
He also wants to crush Glenn Johnson, but Liverpool added a defensive midfielder today, and they have done a better job of compressing the space in the backcourt. Johnson will have Lucas as a helper, so Johnson will first Don't panic too much, and secondly, the space before crossing the penalty area for Ronaldo will be greatly reduced.
Sure enough, Ronaldo dribbled the football into a dead end. He had to pass the ball back to Arbeloa, and then Real Madrid made an offensive adjustment.
Kaka wanted to organize and dispatch in the middle, but after halftime, his room for movement was also limited.
In the end he could only pass the ball back to Guti.
If it weren't for Gago's difficult job, veteran Guti might not appear in the starting lineup.
This time, Guti sent a slanting plug.
He wanted to create a chance for Higuain to cut inside, but the ball was cut off by Skrtel in the tackle.
Real Madrid's positional battle encountered great resistance at the beginning of the game. (to be continued~^~)
