Chapter 370
Facing the best chance both sides could have had since the start, Morientes didn't think twice and passed the ball to his partner Raul who rushed into the Leeds United penalty area at the other end almost at the same time as him.

The prince of the Bernabéu was left with only Gary Kelly on his side after taking the ball, so his position was very comfortable. After a slight adjustment, he shot a burst shot at the goal guarded by Martin !At this time, how could Martin have thought that Morientes would choose a cross when he encountered such a good opportunity?So Martin, who had just returned to this side in embarrassment, could only make a hasty saving action, but all this was of no avail.
The ball flew straight into the goal of Leeds United with an unstoppable momentum. After scoring the goal, Raul ran to the corner flag area together with his friend Morientes who assisted him, and bowed his head and kissed the team emblem on his chest affectionately. .There is no doubt that winning a championship and countless honors for his beloved club is what Raul wants to do most, so this time he did not use his usual action of kissing the ring, but kissed Real Madrid's team logo.

"goal!!!!!!!!! Raul Gonzalez Blanco!!! The prince who is loved by the Bernabeu fans opened the scoring for Real Madrid!! After receiving a message from his friend Morientes After the cross, he showed his superb shooting skills, making Neil Martin, the goalkeeper who has escorted Leeds United countless times in both the Champions League and the Premier League, difficult to parry!!! Real Madrid took a big step forward with a score of 1:0 in the final!!!”

While the commentators were excited, the entire Hampton Park stadium was ignited by Raul's goal. Countless Real Madrid fans cheered loudly and hugged each other uncontrollably. The scarf and the flag cheered for the goal together, and Raul's celebration of kissing the team badge made the fans' shouts even more crazy. At this moment, Hampton Park Stadium seemed to become the world of Real Madrid.

In Madrid, the capital of Spain, which is thousands of miles away, there is a magnificent and antique square in front of the building where the government is seated. In the center of the square is the most famous street sculpture and the most beautiful spring in Madrid - the sculpture of Siviles Spring. It is one of the must-visit attractions for tourists from all over the world when they arrive in Madrid, because it is the place where the whole The city center is also the place where Real Madrid, the top giants in the football world, celebrate after every championship.

At this moment, there are thousands of Real Madrid fans gathered here. They gathered around this square that has been dressed in white and watched the live broadcast of the final in Scotland. They hoped that their beloved team could win St. The cup is brought back to Madrid again!And Raul's goal made them see this hope, so the place instantly became a sea of ​​cheers, which could be clearly heard in almost half of Madrid's urban area.

They cheered uncontrollably and sang the hymn that belongs to Madrid: the honor that shocks the whole of Spain, Real Madrid is rushing to you, and they are carrying a white flag, which is the symbol of a great club.We give our hearts to you, you have brought us countless legends, we are always full of admiration and passion, looking up to the laurel crown on your head.Come on, Madrid!Come on, Madrid!You are a symbol of nobility and dignity, and you are a knight who symbolizes honor.Come on Madrid!Come on Madrid!Go all out to win, defend your noble white, come on, Madrid!Come on Madrid!Come on Madrid!

In contrast, the fans of Leeds United looked a lot lonely. In the huge Hampton Park stadium, they watched the huge 1:0 on the display screen and the 8 minutes below-Raul's words fell into the In silence.

In fact, the fans are the most fanatical, but they are also the ones who understand everything the most. They know that their home team may be at a disadvantage for a long time in this final decisive battle. The fans of Leeds United have already prepared for this . But what they didn't expect was that they would be scored so quickly by Real Madrid in just 8 minutes and they were still scored in this way!Our own defensive players hardly made any effective defense!How can people accept such one-sidedness?
At this time, the Leeds United players on the field never expected that when the ball flew into the net and when the Real Madrid players were celebrating, they realized that they had been dragged by someone during the Real Madrid offensive just now. Walk with your nose, and one step at a time, the defense of step by step is useless in such a situation
Seeing this scene, Kenny also sighed helplessly. This is where Real Madrid is strong. Every player in the entire frontcourt is a very threatening point. On the other hand, Leeds United and most teams in this period However, there are only a few players who can really pose a threat. After all, who can spend as much money as Real Madrid?

When Real Madrid bought Figo and Zidane one after another, some people said that there are more superstars, and everyone has less possession of the ball, and the corresponding cooperation is not so tacit, and there are more contradictions. Of course, there are certain situations This is indeed the case, and this view seems uncontroversial at first glance.But only the team that has faced this Real Madrid face-to-face will know how terrible they are, just like what was shown in Real Madrid's offense just now?
In fact, there is nothing special, but every player in it is full of threats, so that the Leeds United players dare not take it lightly, so they will be led by the nose. If such a team enters the smooth wind In such a situation, the creativity and offensive power shown will be particularly terrifying, and only in the headwind will people think that the contradictions will appear, but it is not easy to put it into a disadvantage in a normal start?

Therefore, the current situation is extremely unfavorable for the current Leeds United. It can be said that they have been forced to enter the rhythm of Real Madrid.
"After the game restarted, the Leeds United players tried to rely on this opportunity to get the ball to launch a counterattack, but unfortunately when the ball was passed to Keane's feet, it was fiercely destroyed by Real Madrid's left back Salgado. boundary."

"We can see that the well-known La Liga hard-working Saburo has firmly restricted the young Irish talent Robbie Keane during the opening period, which is very unfavorable for Leeds United. According to news, relying on three lines is the most important offensive weapon for Leeds United, but now that Viduka is restricted, Keane is also crucified by Salgado, so Leeds United only relies on Kenny on the left Playing alone is obviously not going to work!"

"Gary Kelly quickly rushed up to throw the ball out of bounds. Keane took the ball again, but he immediately distributed the ball to the middle, and did not try to break through again! Batty knocked Ducourt, the situation is not good, Figo was very active on this side, under his pressure the ball was almost missed!"

"The game has entered the No.17 minute without knowing it. Except for Real Madrid's early establishment of an advantage in the 8th minute, Leeds United did not make much progress even though they launched several attacks during this period. It took a lot of energy."

At this time, Leeds United seemed to be stuck in a quagmire. Under the situation of being behind, they kept trying to counterattack and break through to recover their disadvantages. However, such meaningless struggles made their flaws deeper, and it was not only difficult to effectively form a threat. , and also expended a lot of his physical strength, revealing a gap.Kenny, who took advantage of a few limited opportunities to break through, was repeatedly defeated by double teams, so after losing the ball twice in his own hands, he also had to stop for a while.

But what Kenny didn't expect was that his insurance approach actually made Leeds United truly submerged in the quagmire. As the son-in-law of the former Real Madrid chairman Sanz, Salgado was able to convince the fans of Real Madrid that there must be him. of excellence.

After beating Keane to death, Salgado also pushed towards the middle for many times, constantly compressing the small living space of Leeds United. This situation made it particularly painful for Alan Smith, who was the attacking midfielder. .

Being at the center of the storm not only consumes energy, but also makes it difficult to make effective judgments, making him the target of criticism from various commentators in the first half. People can't understand why O'Reilly would put a player who performed so poorly Putting it in such an important position, isn't this playing with fire?
Before the game, the Leeds United coaching staff formulated a targeted strategy of relying on speed breakthroughs to get the frontcourt positioning ball as much as possible. It can be said to have failed at this stage. O’Reilly did not expect that not only Keane, but also Kenny was also guarded tightly, and Alan Smith, whose position was very important when the three strikers were nailed to death, did not play his due role, which made the attack of the young guards on the field even worse. More and more simplification, Real Madrid's defensive players are getting more and more relaxed.

Fortunately, after conceding a goal first, the players of Leeds United played [-] points and did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest. This made it impossible for the players of Real Madrid to seize the opportunity even though they inevitably exposed gaps. .However, this is not a long-term solution after all. To truly restore the situation, some different changes must be made. When the players set their sights on the coach O'Reilly, they saw O'Reilly make a persistent tactic. Gestures, the players have nothing to do about it, they can only continue to execute firmly, trying their best to find possible opportunities and flaws.
