The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 478
"He can play up to 45 minutes. If it is a fast-paced and high-confrontation game like the Champions League, the time will be even less." Team doctor Rodrigue took Ricardo's inspection report and submitted it to Pellegrini.

Pellegrini flipped through it carefully, put down the report, and shook his head regretfully: "In this way, he can't be allowed to start the game."

"I suggest not to let him play, it will affect his recovery speed." Rodriguez said.

"It's not my decision whether he plays or not," Pellegrini told the truth, "but Manchester United's decision."

Back at home, Manchester United seems to have a plan in mind, and the morale of the whole team is very high.

Sir Alex Ferguson said at the press conference before the game: "We have found a way to deal with Real Madrid. In tomorrow's game, we hope to give the fans a visual feast. We will use our best way to beat Real Madrid. Madrid."

Ronaldo was also taken to the press conference. He said: "I learned a lot from the last match. Such a high level of competition has prompted me to grow. Ronaldo is the best striker in the world, none of them. Watching him play football has benefited me a lot. Ricardo is the most powerful peer I have ever seen. He won two Golden Globe Awards and two World Player of the Year at the age of 21. He is a football player for 50 years. It's a great honor to be able to compete with him as a talented guy. He won the last round. I will try my best to catch him this time."

Manchester United celebrities also voiced their support for the team. Sheringham, the hero of the 99 Triple Crown and currently playing for Colches United, said: "In my mind, Ronaldo is the best. Now, Ricardo is the best. The best. Cristiano Ronaldo is also good, but he is not yet on par with the first two. But football is a team sport and I have no doubts that Manchester United will win."

Cantona said: "I bought the ticket and I will see the team win with my own eyes."

Keane put it more simply: "Play like a man and pop their balls!"

But football, after all, has to go to the field and use football to speak.

Real Madrid has no intention of fighting a war of words at all.Everyone is looking forward to Ricardo's smooth start.

But unfortunately, Ricardo was not in the starting lineup until the roster was announced 1 hour before the game.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul, Kaka, and Robben formed Real Madrid's offensive line today, with Diarra and Gago in the midfield, and Marcelo, Cannavaro, Ramos, and Saaron at the back. El Gado.

Manchester United's starting lineup has also changed a lot from the previous game. Carlos Tevez replaced Wayne Rooney as the striker, Hargreaves made his debut, and the back line was composed of Brown, Ferdinand, Pique and Sylvester.

Manchester United wanted to score at least two goals, so they launched an onslaught from the first minute.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Ronaldo sent a through pass, Park Ji-sung stepped in to catch the ball, and shot the far corner outside the small penalty area, which was a hair's breadth away.

After a while, Carlos Tevez, Ronaldo and Park Ji-sung bombarded Real Madrid's goal. Brown and Hargreaves also had good chances to score, but they either missed the goal or were resolved by Casillas. , although threatening, but not fatal.

Real Madrid's counterattack was also quite threatening. In the 13th minute, Kaka sent a through pass. Robben caught the ball close to the baseline and kicked it back. He shot from a small angle, but Van der Sar blocked the ball with his legs.

Manchester United's best chance came in the 18th minute. Tevez distributed the ball to the right space in the middle. Hargreaves inserted and passed it. Ronaldo outflanked it. Casillas was bravely sealed out.

As Manchester United clearly had the upper hand and seemed likely to break through the gate of Real Madrid at any time, the Red Devils fans sang and danced in the stands, looking very relaxed.

something unexpected may happen any time.In the 29th minute, Ronaldo made a pass error when he returned to the midfield to respond. Real Madrid quickly passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area after stealing the ball. Kaka suddenly started to catch the ball and broke into the penalty area with the ball. Brown panicked. After making a tackle and bringing Kaka down, the Swedish referee Ovrepo immediately blew his whistle and ran towards Manchester United's penalty area, pointing to the penalty spot!

"It's a good shot!" Sir Alex Ferguson jumped in dissatisfaction. "Are you blind? It's a good shot! Brown's tackle was clean!"

Brown rushed to the referee, begged bitterly, and signaled that he had not fouled, and the rest of the Manchester United players also ran over to appeal to the referee.

But the referee was unmoved.

Raúl took the penalty and he tricked Van der Sar into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Real Madrid lead 1:0 away and lead 5:2 on aggregate!This is a point difference that makes Manchester United fans feel desperate!
Ferguson was almost slumped in the armchair.He knew very well in his heart that after this conceded goal, Manchester United's hope of advancing was close to 0!

The lagging Manchester United was eager to counterattack, while Real Madrid retreated across the board and fought back.Under the excellent performance of the goalkeepers of both sides, there were no goals in the first half of the game.

After the start of the second half, Ferguson did not give up his efforts. He replaced Park Ji-sung with Rooney, pushed Ronaldo forward, and played 3 forwards, like a desperate gambler.

Under the strong pressure of Manchester United, Real Madrid's counterattack was also very difficult, especially the extremely fast Ronaldo and Ricardo were not on the court.Although Kaka and Robben are also very fast, their cooperation is not tacit enough.

In the 56th minute, Robben was kicked down by Carrick and forced to leave the field. Pellegrini immediately replaced Heinze, kicked up five defenders, and vowed to carry out the defense to the end.

As for Ricardo, there is no need to play in this game, unless Manchester United shows their prowess and scores two goals in a row.

In the 70th minute, Tevez's cross from Hargreaves was pushed into Real Madrid's gate.

After that, Real Madrid's defense became more focused, and until the end of the game, they did not give Manchester United a good chance.

Real Madrid successfully advanced to the top 4!
At the press conference after the game, Pellegrini could not help being somewhat complacent. "We did it, I know we can do it, it was a no-brainer result. Even without Ronaldo and Ricciardo we are the best club in Europe. In this game we showed that."

"Now we have to look forward, as long as we win two more games, we can enter the final, why not? In the past few seasons, Barcelona has not taken advantage of us. I believe we can successfully advance to the final!"

Ferguson looked unhappy: "First of all, we were awarded a penalty that didn't exist. Secondly, Pellegrini put a bus at the door, so we only scored one goal. Boys The performance is not bad, I even think they are the best team in the world. Next year they will be more mature, and I will lead them to attack the championship again."
