Soccer Super Marksman

Old Trafford was unprecedentedly grand, and it was supposed to be a game that would make all Manchester United fans nervous.

But tonight, when welcoming Real Madrid to Old Trafford, every Manchester United fan felt extremely excited and relaxed, as if they came to the scene with a pure appreciation of the game.

They have no fear of Real Madrid, even if Mourinho has repeatedly emphasized that Real Madrid has the ability to comeback away.

But the fans are so confident and relaxed!
For Real Madrid, it is unrealistic to think about how to contain Cui Zhen and Lukaku.

First of all, their team building strategy failed in the past few years, resulting in top-heavy. When it was time to build the fence, they found that there was no suitable material at all, and they were not familiar with how to do it.

Secondly, they are behind by three goals. As long as they still have a little bit of ambition to advance to the quarter-finals, it is impossible to weaken their offense and invest in defense compared to the last game. If you don't step up your investment in offense, how can you make a comeback and advance?

When the players of the two teams lined up to enter the field, the contrast in their spirits could be clearly felt.

The Manchester United players are full of energy and confidence, while the Real Madrid players are more or less marching with the attitude of mourners.

"Welcome to Old Trafford Stadium, the focus of the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final, Manchester United vs Real Madrid is about to start, the score after the 90 minutes of the first leg is 3:0, Manchester United leads Real Madrid Three goals. Although the coaches of both sides have repeatedly emphasized before the game that the second round will not be a routine game, the English media's predictions for this game are consistent, that is, Manchester United will advance without any suspense. Season Champions League quarter-finals!

Manchester United made a big rotation in preparation for the last round of the game.Cui Zhen's consumption in the main force is not much.Real Madrid still lags behind Barcelona by a huge gap in La Liga.Now is the most difficult period for Real Madrid in recent years. If they are eliminated today, it may be doomed that Real Madrid will have no harvest for three consecutive years, and the chaos within the club may reach a peak!
Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides.

Manchester United started 451.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Smalling, Bailly, Darmian, Lindelof.

Midfield: Mata, Lingard, Cui Zhen, Herrera, Pogba.

Forward: Lukaku.

Real Madrid starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Defenders: Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal.

Midfield: Isco, Kroos, Modric, Bale.

Forwards: Benzema, C Ronaldo. "

Real Madrid's lineup is more organized than in the last round of the match.However, in the away game, it was difficult for them to control the rhythm of the game after the opening, because they were too eager to attack to get a chance to score a goal.

Manchester United did not play too aggressively at home, but focused on controlling the scene.

Real Madrid's defensive improvement is still targeted.

Cui Zhen will be sandwiched by Modric, Kroos and Isco in the midfield.

Isco simply ignored Pogba and handed it over to Marcelo. Modric didn't care too much about Lingard's forward penetration. Bale would occasionally participate in defense. The combination of C Ronaldo and Benzema creates opportunities.

In the 5th minute of the game, Bell suddenly shifted the ball to the right after controlling the ball from the left side of the front court. Isco went forward to the front of the penalty area and shot the ball directly from a long distance. The football went above the crossbar.

Three minutes later, Cui Zhen encountered multiple double-teamers in the middle. He did not dare to lose the ball easily, so he created an opportunity for Lingard to go forward. Then he switched positions with Lingard and retreated to replace Lin Gard. Gade's defense allowed Lingard to control the ball and start attacking forward.

Lingard gave the ball to Pogba who cut inside in the frontcourt. Pogba couldn't see the line of passing the ball to Lukaku outside the penalty area, so he also took a long shot. Unfortunately, the shot was missed. Taizheng was easily confiscated by goalkeeper Navas.

Real Madrid seemed to have found a way to contain Cui Zhen after the opening game, and it was effective in the early stage.But as Manchester United got better and better, Cui Zhen began to change positions frequently with his teammates, among which he and Pogba changed positions most frequently.

In the 16th minute of the game, Cui Zhen sent the ball to the side in the middle after receiving a pass from Lindelof, and then ran to the side by himself. Isco followed him like a shadow, and Modric and Kroos quickly retreated.

Pogba held the ball on the spot and did not rush forward to attack. It was not until Cui Zhen and Isco came near him that he began to make a cross-cutting advance.Isco did not follow Cui Zhen unswervingly, but Pogba felt that he was playing in his arms.

When Isco went to intercept Pogba, Pogba immediately passed the ball to Cui Zhen who was on the edge.

Cui Zhen dribbled the ball forward along the sidewalk, like a cheetah released from a cage, his speed was extremely fast.

In terms of explosive power, Marcelo is not as good as Cui Zhen, who is now alive and well.

When Cui Zhen was 5 meters away from him, he changed to the direction of the inside penalty area. This time, the inside cut brought an explosion of acceleration, which made it difficult for Marcelo to keep up with Cui Zhen's speed.

Ramos was the player with the lowest rating in the last round of the match. He was very afraid of Cui Zhen's cross-cutting and changing direction. At this time, he was worried that Cui Zhen would continue to dribble horizontally at the front of the penalty area again, and then find a suitable opportunity to start. Foot shot.

Just when Cui Zhen's waving rhythm had an obvious pause, Ramos took the initiative to move his center of gravity to the middle, but Cui Zhen did not continue to move to the middle, but rushed straight forward and passed him. Ramos subconsciously raised his Kicking up to sweep the ball under Cui Zhen's feet, the ball has already passed, Cui Zhen dodges his sweeping legs, but his explosive speed will inevitably drop.

Marcelo and central defender Varane came to defend Cui Zhen, and Kroos had already entered the penalty area and blocked Lukaku.

At this moment, Cui Zhen could barely kick to shoot, but looking at Navas who blocked the near post, Cui Zhen knew that there would be no unexpected gains if he forced his kick, and the opponent was a world-class goalkeeper.

So he chose to pass the ball at the last moment and pass it back to the top of the arc in the penalty area!

In order to pass the ball in place, Cui Zhen half-turned and pushed the ball with his arch while running at high speed, and then he fell back and rolled over in the penalty area.

The football rolled through the narrow gap between Ramos and Varane. Modric was about to intercept, but Pogba shot out from him, and shot with his right foot without stopping the ball in a small range!

Pogba's shot speed is not fast, but the victory lies in the tricky angle!

Navas ran towards the far post in a panic, but halfway through the run, he swooped out to make a save. Obviously he was too slow. The football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!
Old Trafford instantly boiled!
After Pogba scored the goal, he won the applause and cheers of the fans. Manchester United scored this goal and almost knocked Real Madrid into the abyss!

From three goals behind to four goals behind, Real Madrid is in a desperate situation!
"Pogba shattered Real Madrid's hopes of reversing Manchester United! Yes, although there are still more than 70 minutes in the game, it is too difficult to reverse Manchester United's four goals, and it is almost an impossible task. Minutes into the game, we found a problem, which is a hot topic in Manchester Media City recently.

The Premier League is becoming the number one league in the world!

It is undeniable that the technical content of La Liga is higher, but in the past two years, the speed and physical advantages of the Premier League teams in European competitions have become more and more obvious. Like today's Real Madrid players, the game has just begun, but they seem to be running. Intentionally weak, they are always a beat slower than Manchester United, and they are easily broken by their opponents with explosive speed. This phenomenon can no longer be ignored!

If Real Madrid continues to give Manchester United such opportunities, in the open space, Manchester United players, Cui Zhen, Pogba, Lukaku, Mata, their frontal speed impact, Real Madrid is somewhat sure that they can prevent it ? "

In fact, it does not make much sense to argue who is the world's number one league, because even if La Liga is not the world's number one league, Real Madrid is still Real Madrid, Barcelona is still Barcelona, ​​the Premier League is not the world's number one league, and Arsenal is still Arsenal
But there are still differences in the characteristics of the league.

The Premier League has come into its own in the rapid development of the new millennium, characterized by unstoppable speed and unremitting physical fitness, and has begun to mold this characteristic into an advantage.Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester United have all begun to use this advantage to defeat powerful opponents in the European war.

Of course, this season's Arsenal is a gutter overturned, and they went home in the group stage, which is not representative in this season's European war.

Facing the team's conceded goal, Real Madrid's players were really leaking in the rain all night, and their mental will suffered a huge blow.

The game has just begun, is the suspense completely over?The battle at Old Trafford made Real Madrid very uncomfortable.

Manchester United used Cui Zhen and Lingard as the central axis to control the scene. Real Madrid wanted to counterattack but was powerless. Although Manchester United did not play aggressively, the running distance has the upper hand in statistics.

Because they are persistently passing and running, passing and running, and maintaining a stable ball possession advantage.

In this way, Real Madrid itself has reduced the number of times they can attack, and secondly, they have to delay the formation every time to avoid being penetrated by Manchester United's defense again, and when they turn around to shake Manchester United's defense, they have to carry out a difficult battle.

Benzema's performance in this game has improved.It's a pity that it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the team has few offensive opportunities.The opportunities that can be created for him are even more pitiful.

In the 27th minute of the game, he barely responded to Isco's cross with a header, which was resolved by De Gea on the goal line without any difficulty.And when Real Madrid's offense failed, Manchester United's fast break always made them frightened.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Lingard passed a long diagonal pass from the backcourt. Pogba received the pass from the left and then pressed the back line. He crossed the ball in front of the penalty area. Cui Zhen sprinted up from behind like a flash of lightning. Facing the ball, he shot furiously with his foot, and blasted out with a low and flat ball, which almost pierced through Navas' ten fingers.

"Navas made a world-class save. He blocked Cui Zhen's tricky long-range shot with a single palm, and defender Carvajal made a big-footed clearance to defuse the danger."

Real Madrid wants to play fast, although their individual players are not as fast as Manchester United, but the offensive speed is not only based on the running of the players, but also the passing of the ball!
Because it is impossible for a player to run faster than a football.As long as the pass is accurate, the goalkeeper can also give the forward a chance to score within 5 seconds, but the Real Madrid generals found that the game was not the same thing at all.

Manchester United relies on three or four players every time they attack. After Manchester United's offense is terminated, they want to play offensive speed again, relying on passing?

Manchester United's defense in the opposite half is tight and neat, the ground ball will be intercepted by Manchester United players while rolling, and the high-altitude ball delivery lacks a strong fulcrum.

The game was much more difficult than they imagined, but Manchester United was more effective in speed impact.

Before the end of the first half, Cui Zhen sent a through ball to Lukaku. Lukaku pulled the ball back from Varane in the penalty area and even deceived goalkeeper Navas, but he immediately Rubbing the far corner of the goal but sliding the goal!
