Chapter 474
Sir Alex Ferguson slapped his thigh and stood up abruptly, as if he wanted to say something, but then sat down silently.

The team conceded the ball, and he instinctively wanted to criticize it.But whom to criticize?Who made the mistake just now?

No one is wrong.Ricardo and Ronaldo just relied on their personal ability and tacit cooperation to crush Manchester United's defense.

It's not that I made a mistake, it's just that my skills are inferior to others.

Sir Alex Ferguson felt his mouth full of bitterness, but soon he adjusted his mentality.It's still early, and there is still a chance to get back.

And for this away game, the goal he set for the players was a draw, and he didn't expect to win.Worst of all, it’s okay to lose, but you can only lose one, and you have to score an away goal.

Now is not the time to despair, the goal before the game is entirely possible to achieve.

Pellegrini ran to the sidelines. When some players finished celebrating and ran over to drink water, he immediately gave an opportunity to face-to-face: "Switch from offense to defense immediately! Defensively!"

This is a good strategy.

As long as the team leads by one goal, it immediately shrinks up and fights against counterattacks.

Pellegrini is not a faithful believer in the "1:0 doctrine", but his requirements for the players in this game are very simple, that is, 1:0.

After kick-off at Manchester United, there was little change in the team as a whole, while there was some confusion at Real Madrid.

Although Pellegrini made a request, some players felt that since they had knocked on the opponent's goal, why not take advantage of his illness to take his life and score another goal?
Some players feel that they must resolutely implement the instructions of the head coach.

So when Manchester United had the ball, only a few people went up to press, and most of the players retreated, which caused the press to have no effect; when Real Madrid switched from defense to attack, only Ricardo, Ronaldo and Raul The three rushed forward quickly, even Kaka hesitated.

Of course, this confusion is only temporary. After a while, the team will be able to unify their thinking.

But Manchester United is worthy of being a giant, and they seized this fleeting opportunity.

In the 39th minute, Manchester United advanced the ball to the penalty area and handed the ball to Rooney.Rooney turned and dribbled the ball, broke through Guti's defense and distributed the ball to the right.Scholes stepped forward to take the ball. He found a brief chaos in the Real Madrid penalty area. Several defensive players had loopholes in their marking. He decisively kicked a pass.

The football came to the middle, and Ronaldo, who was plugged in at a high speed, did not have any defensive players. He jumped high and easily headed the ball. The football flew into the lower left corner of the goal.

"Cristiano Ronaldo Goalllllll! Manchester United played a wonderful combination and penetrated the Real Madrid defense. It took only 7 minutes and they equalized the score! This is Cristiano's 7th in the Champions League this season. Goals in five games in a row. He's unstoppable!"

"Before the game, many people were looking forward to seeing the match between Ronaldo and Ronaldo. They were not disappointed! Both of them had a wonderful performance today. Ricardo deserves to be Mr. Potential to win the Ballon d'Or!"

After the re-kick-off, Real Madrid launched a fast break.Ricardo came to the wing to cooperate with Marcelo, and then dribbled the ball inside.

After encountering a block, he picked the ball to the left and inserted himself into the penalty area.

Marcelo made a high-speed pass and passed a half-high ball. Ricardo hit the ball with his chest, passed Brown, and then raised his leg to shoot. The football hit the outside of the post and went out of the baseline.

"Riccardo shot! It was so dangerous, it hit the post! The ball was only about 7 or 8 meters away from the goal, and Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had no time to react. It's a pity that Riccardo pursued the angle too much, so he didn't seize the opportunity."

Ricardo's shot made Manchester United feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and they dared not attack for the rest of the first half.

With a score of 1:1, the two sides walked into the locker room.

In the locker room of the home team, Pellegrini looked stern. He first praised Ronaldo and Ricciardo for their outstanding performance, and asked the defense to concentrate on making no more low-level mistakes, and then began to arrange the tactics for the second half.

"Now the opponent has scored an away goal, so if we want to qualify smoothly, we must win, and we must win by more than two goals," Pellegrini said seriously. "In the second half, we have to attack and attack again. After taking the lead, you can’t all retreat, you have to play the ball! The opponent’s midfielder is not hard enough, you all run up to me and grab it! They will make mistakes, they will definitely make mistakes!”

After speaking in a nutshell, Pellegrini began to lay out tactics in detail.There are detailed requirements for any attack, who holds the ball, who responds, and the choice of passing the ball.Finally, I looked at the time, and said to Ronaldo alone: ​​"The Champions League has played this part, you must not be reconciled to our being eliminated, you want to continue to advance."

Ronaldo said: "Of course."

"Then please run, run actively, strengthen the pressing in the frontcourt, strengthen the running position when our team is attacking, and don't spare your energy! If you can't run anymore, I will replace you. In short, we want to win!"

Ronaldo was also reasonable at this time: "It should be, it's okay to sacrifice for the team, as long as you can win."

It's not that Ronaldo suddenly changed his gender, but this moment and that moment.

At the beginning of the season, Pellegrini had just taken office and was not popular. Of course Ronaldo was not willing to bow his head.

And the games at the beginning of the season are not so important. Of course Ronaldo wants to win, but he also hopes that he can perform well.

Now that Pellegrini's position has stabilized and he has a certain prestige in the locker room, Ronaldo will not easily tear his face apart.And when the game came to the bayonet, everyone must have the consciousness of sacrificing for the team. Even Ricardo actively defended without hesitating his physical strength, and Ronaldo naturally would not be hypocritical.

After the start of the second half, Real Madrid launched a continuous attack and actively fought in the frontcourt. Once the ball was grabbed, they would counterattack on the spot.

In the 50th minute of the game, Real Madrid made a successful steal and handed the ball to Kaka.

Kaka made a breakthrough from the right side of the penalty area, hit the ball after encountering obstacles, and handed it to Ricardo.Ricardo immediately sent a through pass and the ball passed to Ronaldo's feet.

However, Manchester United's players have already defended in place, and Ronaldo has no kicking angle.

If he was younger and not injured, he might eat the opponent's defender raw and force a goal.

But now that he is getting older after all, and his body is not as good as before after the injury, he chooses a more secure approach and distributes the ball to the left.

Marcelo, who was plugged in, immediately took the ball and hit an arc with the outside instep.

I don't know whether he wanted to pass the ball or shoot, but the football went straight to the near corner. Van der Sar was caught off guard and made a fatal mistake. When he knelt down on one knee and bent over to hold the ball, the football hit his chest and popped out.

At this time, Ricardo rushed over, without any hesitation, he poked the ball to the side.Ronaldo just stretched his leg in front of the goal, and the football rolled into the empty goal.

"Ronaldo Goallllllll! In the 50th minute of the game, Ronaldo scored twice to help Real Madrid take the lead again!"

"This game has become a competition between two young men, Ricardo and Ronaldo! Ronaldo scored a wonderful header, and Ricardo sent two assists. The competition between the two may continue. For ten years, fans born in this era are fortunate to be able to witness such a magnificent star competition!"

"This game is getting better and better. If there are such exciting content in the remaining game time, it will definitely become a classic game!"
