From the man behind the football king to the football king.
Chapter 592 Mentality
Manchester United was ecstatic, as if they had already won the championship. Next door, the Real Madrid coaching bench was silent, with Zidane looking gloomy and biting his lower lip.
There is nothing to say about conceding the ball this time. The opponent carefully planned and planned every step, which eventually led to his own defense making a mistake.
It can be said that such opportunities do not appear often, but Manchester United really seized this opportunity and scored a goal.
But will they just give up? That's not what Real Madrid will do!
This lag was just a small episode. With their strong strength, the difference of one goal is nothing.
However, this goal made Zidane realize some problems. He walked to the sidelines, shouted Ramos' name, and then signaled him to stay in the backcourt as much as possible and not to attack rashly like he did just now.
The game has just started. Being stuck in a stalemate at this point doesn't explain anything, and it's far from the time to fight to the death.
Ramos nodded. He really had to be careful in the next game. A situation like that must not happen again on the court!
Casemiro lowered his head and blamed himself. If he had not rushed forward with blood boiling when he saw Bruno, there would not have been so many problems.
Ramos came up and patted him on the back, telling him not to blame himself too much.
………………
Ronaldo stood near the midfield and looked back at the Manchester United players who were celebrating the goal, especially Bruno who was surrounded by Manchester United players and wearing the Manchester United captain's armband.
He thought that Manchester United was nothing special and that his team was sure to win the game. The game was boring and the only thing that interested him was the match with Bruno.
Many European media said that today's Champions League final between him and Bruno is the duel for this year's European Golden Ball Award and this year's World Footballer of the Year.
After all, the two are teammates in the national team, and the national team's results cannot widen the gap between them, so the winner can only be decided by the club's results.
Bruno and Manchester United are currently leading in terms of club results. After all, Real Madrid has failed to win any of the four major domestic competitions, while Manchester United has won the Premier League title with an unbeaten record, and also won the FA Cup and League Cup.
The Champions League is Ronaldo's only hope to overtake Bruno!
Now it seems that he was wrong. His old club Manchester United has truly regained the strength of a top European team. It is a tough opponent that he and Real Madrid must be fully prepared to face!
In fact, Ronaldo feels that Manchester United is stronger than Barcelona!
At this moment, he no longer thought about the duel with Bruno. He felt that leading the team to defeat Manchester United and win three consecutive Champions League titles was the truly fulfilling thing.
………………
The celebrations of Manchester United fans were very crazy, but the celebrations of Manchester United players were short-lived. After Bruno shouted those words, everyone dispersed and prepared to resume the game.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas kicked the ball out and it landed on Benzema's side. Real Madrid quickly calmed down and prepared to restart the game.
He Wei's excitement has not yet subsided. He is still saying: "This season, Manchester United has always had good luck in the Champions League knockout rounds. They have not encountered top giants. Shakhtar Donetsk is only a second-tier European league team, Roma is just an ordinary Serie A team, and Manchester City has never proven itself in the Champions League. So many people think that Manchester United's advancement to the Champions League final is just luck. Even though they are invincible in the Premier League, few people think that they have the strength of a top European giant comparable to Real Madrid and Salzburg."
"However, after watching the past twenty minutes of the game, who dares to say that Manchester United is a team that relies on luck to reach the final? Who dares to say that they can't beat Real Madrid? Manchester United's players have told everyone with practical actions that they can dominate England and reach the Champions League final because of their strong strength! Even when facing Real Madrid, the king of the Champions League who successfully defended the Champions League, they dared to face it head-on! They are worthy of their title of Red Devils!"
………………
The referee blew his whistle and the game started again.
Real Madrid rushed forward with murderous intent, wanting to score as soon as possible. They didn't even pass the ball back, but just went forward after the ball was kicked.
Real Madrid's attack surged like a rising tide.
Bruno directed his teammates to return to defense. He didn't want his team to be equalized by the opponent in less than a minute after just scoring a goal.
At the same time, Bruno was still thinking, could he take advantage of Real Madrid's offensive opportunity to equalize the score and score another goal against them?
This is Bruno. If it were any other player, he might be satisfied with being one goal ahead of Real Madrid. However, Bruno is never satisfied and does not think that being one goal ahead of Real Madrid is a big deal. He just wants to win Real Madrid first.
Unfortunately, Real Madrid did not give Manchester United any chances this time. Varane and Ramos, the two central defenders, resolutely refused to press forward. Marcelo and Carvajal, the two full-backs, also quickly returned to defense after assisting. They were obviously frightened by Manchester United's fast attack.
………………
During these few minutes, Manchester United defended with all their strength, while Real Madrid attacked with all their strength.
Ronaldo became active again, and his one-on-one match with Bruno became the focus of everyone's attention.
In the previous one-on-one situations, Ronaldo was the winner in the end, but Bruno got tighter and tighter each time.
This time when Ronaldo got the ball and planned to use his footwork and dribbling sideways to tear through Manchester United's defense, he had just started when Bruno kicked the ball away!
"Oh!!" There was an exclamation from the stands.
This was the first time Bruno won a one-on-one match with Ronaldo, but he didn't expect it to come so easily and suddenly.
Ronaldo himself didn't expect this. He was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to control the ball, but Kante had already received it.
Real Madrid's attack ended here.
Soon Ronaldo came again, this time he received the ball on the wing, first dribbled past Rashford, and then moved to the flank.
Seeing Bruno rushing up, Ronaldo stopped suddenly, pushed the ball to the outside, and then started again. The interval was so short that Bruno didn't have time to react.
But Bruno's explosive power is really amazing. Seeing Ronaldo start again, he directly tackled from the side.
Even if it is a foul, we must stop Ronaldo!
………………
Bruno got what he wanted. Just as Ronaldo started, he was tackled to the ground by Bruno. The ball was lost and the player fell.
The referee's whistle sounded. This was indeed a foul.
The Real Madrid players surrounded the referee and asked him to play a card, but the referee did not seem to intend to do so. He kept shaking his head, rejecting the suggestions of the Real Madrid players.
The Spanish commentator was fed up and shouted, "What is this? This is murder! FIFA has said that it wants to protect Ronaldo, so why is the referee indifferent to this kind of foul and just stops the game?! If I were the referee, I would give that guy a red card! Because he hurt Ronaldo, he hurt the king of football, and he hurt the sport of football! He hurt all the fans who love beautiful football!"
He couldn't wait to accuse Bruno of all the crimes, but his words could not help Ronaldo get revenge at all.
Bruno got up from the ground, spread his hands and ran back, without even making a friendly gesture to pull up Ronaldo to apologize.
His actions aroused the disgust of Real Madrid fans, and for the first time boos were heard in the stands.
The game had been very exciting before, with fans from both sides only focusing on cheering for their own team and not pointing their fingers at the opposing fans.
It’s different now. Real Madrid fans are not happy to see their team’s hero being treated like this by Bruno.
He Wei certainly didn't think it was a serious foul. He said: "It was a foul, but not a serious one. Bruno went for the ball. He didn't lift his foot or show the sole of his shoe. It was an ordinary foul. The referee was right not to show a yellow card!"
………………
In fact, Bruno was using this foul to tell Ronaldo not to think he could break through at will. Next time when you pass in front of me, you have to think carefully.
So when he ran back, he kept staring at Ronaldo, which was a silent demonstration.
C Ronaldo did not see Bruno's silent protest, but he was not a fool. He could feel something from this foul. This kid would not show mercy to him just because they had a good relationship in private.
Ronaldo got up from the ground, his ankle still felt a little painful. Although there was no bone injury, the head-on collision was enough to hurt him.
Real Madrid won a free kick 38 meters away from the goal, which was in a very far position. This direct shot from the free kick obviously could not pose any threat to Manchester United, so it could only be passed.
However, Modric's free kick was headed out by Van Dijk, and Real Madrid's attack failed.
Now Manchester United is leading, but Manchester United fans are not happy for too long. They are only excited for a while after the goal and then fall into deep worry.
For an opponent like Real Madrid, a one-goal lead is not safe!
Although Real Madrid's equalizer only put the two sides back on the same starting line, the reality that they were already ahead made Manchester United fans anxious. They would think: "Since we are already ahead, why should we be satisfied with the opponent equalizing the score?"
Not only Manchester United fans have this idea, but Manchester United players also have similar ideas.
Although the team's internal opinions are relatively unified, that is, after taking the lead, they should continue to attack and strive to expand the lead.
But everyone is always worried about what might happen. They worry that Real Madrid will equalize the score, that Real Madrid will be encouraged by the equalizer, and that they will take the opportunity to overtake the score...
