From the man behind the football king to the football king.

This impromptu battlefield meeting ended quickly, and everyone dispersed to prepare for the kickoff.

At this time, Real Madrid made personnel adjustments. The fourth official played the substitution card and No. 11 Gareth Bale replaced Isco.

Obviously, this is a signal to intensify the offense.

When Real Madrid made a substitution, Ronaldo, who was about to kick off, heard Modric call him: "Cristiano."

Ronaldo turned his head and looked at Modric.

"Is Bruno difficult to deal with?" Modric asked.

C Ronaldo has failed to break through Bruno several times. Now when he gets the ball, if Bruno is in front of him, he usually chooses to pass the ball instead of breaking through.

Ronaldo nodded and said, "He always seems to be able to guess my thoughts. It's difficult to play one-on-one with him..."

Ronaldo was also very moved. He didn't expect that his teammate in the national team not only had amazing strength on the offensive end, but was also so strong on defense. It was really hard to imagine.

………………

Modric confirmed his guess. He had been observing Ronaldo and Bruno in the game before. He found that Bruno was very good at one-on-one defense. Except for the first two times, Ronaldo was completely unable to get rid of Bruno's defense.

Although with his age, Ronaldo no longer threatens his opponents by breaking through, but plays more of a terminator role, his breakthrough is still a weapon for Real Madrid on the offensive end, and he is one of the strongest breakthrough players in Real Madrid. As a result, he is now helpless in the face of Bruno's defense, which shows that Bruno's defensive ability is extraordinary.

C Luo is undoubtedly the core of the team's offense. He often plays the role of center forward or winger, threatening the opponent's defense through his breakthrough, running, shooting and header abilities.

Now that the offensive core has been frozen by the opponent, it is natural for Real Madrid to fall behind in the score.

After confirming his guess, Modric reflected that Ronaldo's condition has been so good in the past two seasons that everyone has become dependent on him and thinks that as long as they give the ball to him, everything will be fine.

When the game is at a standstill, teammates are accustomed to passing the ball to Ronaldo, allowing Ronaldo to create opportunities with his own abilities.

But that is based on the premise that "C Ronaldo is the strongest one-on-one player in the world today and no one can defend him."

Now that the player with "the strongest one-on-one ability in world football today" has met his opponent, we can no longer simply rely on him.

………………

Modric made a "come closer to me" gesture to Ronaldo and said to him: "You are too far away from me, come closer, we will use cooperation to bypass him."

Ronaldo nodded.

Modric then said to Kroos: "You move closer too."

Mourinho's method of dealing with Ronaldo is very common, which is to cut off the connection between Ronaldo and Modric and Kroos, forcing them to keep a sufficient distance between them.

Lacking midfield support, Ronaldo had to fight alone. This kind of defense was very successful, so in the history of Ronaldo's confrontation with Mourinho's team, he only scored one goal in 14 games.

For a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, it is incredible that he only scored one goal in 14 games against a specific coach.

He can score more than 50 goals a season, but he can't score against Mourinho's team. This can only be said to be a miracle.

As long as Ronaldo can maintain a suitable distance from Modric and Kroos, his threat will be greatly increased.

So Modric wanted everyone to get closer so that they could pass the ball together.

The strength of Real Madrid is not that one player is the best in the world in dribbling, but that their passing and cutting are the best in the world. Once they let the ball turn upside down, unless you park a bus to the goal, they will always find loopholes and flaws in your defense and exploit them.

So you can understand how shocked Real Madrid fans were after Manchester United scored the second goal - that was the offensive style their team was good at!

………………

The game resumed and Real Madrid kicked off.

Fans and TV viewers outside the stadium quickly noticed the changes in Real Madrid, as did the commentators.

"Real Madrid strengthened their attack... and the distances between the attacking players were shortened, which facilitated Modric's passing..."

Once the distance was shortened, Real Madrid's attack immediately became threatening.

Just one minute after the restart, Real Madrid organized an attack. Modric passed the ball to Kroos, who passed it to Ronaldo.

Because the three players are close enough, the accuracy of the pass is guaranteed and it is difficult for Manchester United players to intercept the ball.

Even Bruno can't do anything about this. No matter how good he is, he can defend against Ronaldo one-on-one, but he can't defend against three people...

In particular, the distance between these three people is very close, the passing speed is fast, and the movement is flexible, so it is quite difficult to defend.

After receiving the ball, Ronaldo dribbled diagonally and seemed to be trying to break through. Bruno blocked him, but he passed the ball to Modric with his heel.

Modric passed the ball directly to Kroos who was running to the wing.

Kroos did not cross the ball directly, but instead passed a low ball into the penalty area, and Bale, who had just come on as a substitute, got the ball from the flank!

"Beautiful!" the Spanish commentator exclaimed.

Real Madrid pushed the ball into the opponent's penalty area, so they were very close to scoring a goal. No wonder he was so excited.

………………

Bale turned around and swept the ball to the middle. Benzema and Van Dijk arrived at the same time and fought in front of the goal.

But none of them touched the ball, and it fell directly to the back point!

"Cristiano Ronaldo--!!" Almost all the commentators exclaimed!

But He Wei was different from them. He was shouting another person's name: "Bruno!!"

Ronaldo shot directly from the back post, but the ball did not fly towards the goal, but was blocked by Bruno's thigh as soon as it went out.

In Real Madrid's fast attack, Bruno couldn't do anything to Ronaldo, but they always had to kick the ball in front of the goal, so he just had to guard in front of the goal.

However, he was not happy about this successful defense, because if the ball was poked into the goal by Benzema, what would it matter even if he defended Ronaldo at the back post?

Real Madrid does not only have Ronaldo as an attacking point.

Bruno did not get complacent because of this successful defense. On the contrary, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. This was not because he was tired, but because he was scared. Real Madrid's strong strength made them have to be cautious in every defense. There were still 30 minutes in the game, and this kind of defense had to continue.

The opponent's attack will invisibly add a lot of pressure to Manchester United's defense because of the fear of losing the ball.

Bruno didn't know how long his teammates could hold on under such pressure. All he could do was to do his best in every defense from now on and not let the opponent succeed.

………………

Ronaldo was not upset about not scoring a goal. He pointed to the corner spot and signaled his teammates to prepare for the corner kick.

This is what is scary for Bruno, this team has not lost their fighting spirit or their composure.

I'm afraid that the current Real Madrid is in its truly complete form!

Does the game start now?

Although this sentence is very cliché, it is exactly what Bruno is really thinking in his heart at this moment.

For Real Madrid fans, the real final does indeed begin now.

They saw the familiar Real Madrid, the invincible Real Madrid, the Real Madrid that could end the game in the first thirty minutes as long as it functioned normally.

This is the greatest source of their confidence.

No one is worried anymore. The game is indeed full of twists and turns, but Real Madrid will definitely be the winner in the end.

"Manchester United is indeed an excellent opponent. I like them very much!"

"They deserve our respect. By defeating such an opponent, Real Madrid's championship trophy is truly valuable!"

"This is a wonderful final! Very exciting! Manchester United caused us enough trouble, but I believe we will win in the end!"

……

Everyone praised their opponent Manchester United in the tone of a winner, as if this could reflect the demeanor of a winner.

………………

Three minutes after falling behind for the second time, Real Madrid equalized the score for the second time.

It was an amazing goal, they almost passed the ball into the goal!

Ronaldo, Modric, Kroos, Carvajal, and finally Gareth Bale, who had just come on as a substitute, ended this series of dazzling passes by scoring a bicycle kick into Manchester United's goal!

"Real Madrid! What a wonderful goal! This is the Real Madrid we are familiar with!"

"Gareth Bale! He scored! He equalized the score!"

"Manchester United were only happy for 3 minutes before the powerful Real Madrid showed them their sharp fangs!"

"Gareth Bale! This is the real Great Sage. He came on as a substitute and helped the team score and equalize the score just 122 seconds later!"

"This is Real Madrid! This is Real Madrid!!"

"Manchester United's second goal was brilliant, but a little complicated, and they failed once in the middle, and only scored in the second attack. Real Madrid's goal was done in one go, and everyone had a clear idea, which was to score a goal... The difference is obvious!"

"This goal is so beautiful. The previous consecutive passes were beautiful, and Bale's overhead kick was even more beautiful!"

……

Amid everyone's cheers, the Real Madrid players hugged each other tightly, as if they had already won.
