Star Card System

The warm-up is over and the players from both teams return to the locker room.

Looking at the soldiers in white sitting below, Zidane looked calm.

Just like his on-field style.

Quite the demeanor of a general.

"Boys, the game is about to start.

"I hope you still remember what I have often said to you recently.

"What kind of team is Manchester United?

“They are a wealthy family, no problem, but they are a down and out wealthy family.

“Being able to get to where I am now is a lot of luck.

“The second thing is the strong fighting spirit, which cannot be denied.

“But the reason why we emphasize fighting spirit is because we don’t have enough strength.

"Think about it, is this true?

"Because they are not strong enough, they have to work hard on their willpower. This is their advantage.

"This is also the biggest reason why they were able to rush until the last moment in the long season.

“It’s amazing that Manchester United can win a league at the level of the Premier League.

"But this is the Champions League, not the Premier League.

"Every game is a head-to-head match with no room for error.

"As long as we perform at our normal level, we will definitely beat Manchester United!

"I have great confidence in you!

“Come on, boys, beat Manchester United at home!

"Get tickets for the finals in advance!"

There is nothing wrong with what Zidane said, it is true.

Manchester United is not as strong as Real Madrid, this is true.

And Manchester United has relied on willpower to reach this point. This is also a reality.

So Real Madrid is here to compete with technology today, this is their purpose.

And a big victory is their goal!

Even in the away game, Real Madrid is still very confident in its own strength!

This game must be won!

In the home team's locker room, Mourinho's expression was not so relaxed.

Even a little serious.

This is different from the past.

Looking at the players present, Mourinho was silent for a long time before speaking.

"Our opponent is Real Madrid, you all know that.

"Real Madrid is very strong and you know that.

"If we make the slightest mistake, they can catch it, and you know it.

“So in this game, I first ask each of you to defend with all your strength!

"Never give your opponent any chance!

“Then, if the opponent makes a mistake, our offense has to seize the opportunity!

"Facing an opponent like Real Madrid, we will definitely have a chance!

“After all, their defensive line has strong offensive power, so they are likely to press higher up!

"When the time comes, xia will lead the attack, advance quickly, and score goals as soon as possible!

“As long as we can win against Real Madrid at home, we will have half a foot in the Champions League final!

"Boys, I have full confidence in you!

"come on!

"Win against Real Madrid and listen to the happy applause and cheers of the fans at Old Trafford!"

The coaches of both teams expected their teams to win this game early. Players from both teams ran onto the court, the referee's whistle sounded, and the game began!

Real Madrid kicks off first!

Ronaldo and Benzema passed each other in the midfield, and the ball was passed to the backcourt.

Toni Kroos received the ball and knocked it across to the left wing.

Marcelo has rushed forward!

As soon as the game started, the Brazilian full-back couldn't hold back his offensive urge and sprinted quickly to assist!

Sanchez goes for it!

Marcelo accelerates and sprints!

The ball slides forward along the sideline!

Marcelo used his speed to get past Sanchez!

But there was Manchester United right back Valencia in front of him!

Just put the shovel in!

This tackle was very fierce!

Marcelo didn't push the ball, he hit the ball decisively, and then jumped to avoid the defense.

Modric in the middle is already in place!

Take the ball and move forward slightly!

Cristiano Ronaldo goes forward to get the ball and pulls wide!

Cross!

Rojo was completely thrown away by the Portuguese's change of pace!

Benzema in the middle leaped high and headed the ball into the goal!

This time his movement was very accurate and Smalling failed to block his header!

The ball went straight to the dead center!

De Gea jumped up and blocked the ball with one palm!

This time the ball speed is not fast and the defense is very solid!

Ashley Young made a big save, and Real Madrid's attack came to an end.

Although no goal was scored, the Manchester United fans in the stands were shocked.

Such a swift attack was worthy of the performance of the giants of the century.

Next, Real Madrid's offense was still fierce.

Another continuous midfield pass, this time the ball was handed to Modric.

In front of the penalty area, Modric kicked up and shot!

The ball slides out!

Just a little bit off!

Five minutes later, Manchester United's attack came again.

This time, their number one star Cristiano Ronaldo finally broke out.

In fact, Ronaldo performed very well in the two attacks just now.

The first ball was passed to Benzema, which helped Benzema create a header opportunity and almost gave himself an assist statistic.

The second ball moved forward quickly, taking away Manchester United's defensive attention and giving Modric time to fully adjust before he could shoot such a high-quality shot.

Now, Toni Kroos's pass penetrated the Manchester United midfield line and passed between Matic and Fellaini!

World class passing!

Cristiano Ronaldo quickly moved forward, received the ball, and quickly rushed into the penalty area!

Facing Valencia's defense, Ronaldo stunned the opponent with two bicycle movements.

Pull the ball toward the baseline, then dial it back quickly!

Valencia was shaken away!

Rojo steals the ball!

C Ronaldo pulls the ball out again!

Dodges another defender!

Suddenly kicks and shoots!

It's a low shot!

It directly avoids De Gea who is defending in the near corner!

De Gea falls to the ground quickly, but it's too late to save!

Is it going to score?

No!

A figure suddenly appears at the back point and quickly blocks it!

The ball hits the Manchester United player's foot and bounces back into the penalty area!

Smalling doesn't dare to be careless in front of the goal. He doesn't turn around, but clears the ball directly out of the baseline!

This defense is world-class!

Extreme clearance!

Manchester United escapes again!

Although Real Madrid got a corner kick, they lost a great chance to score.

De Gea stood up and looked at the back point.

At this time, the player who just made a key clearance had his studs hanging on the net.

It was Xia Xing.

Just now he was defending on the left side, and Ronaldo was stirring up the situation on the other side.

Xia Xing quickly retreated to the penalty area to prevent Ronaldo from passing and shooting into the far corner.

In the end, he cleared the ball at the back post.

However, the defense directly threw himself towards the goal quickly. Although the tackle defense was successful, it was also very dangerous.

Xia Xing's head was very close to the goalpost and almost collided.

He cleared the ball with his left foot, and his right foot was entangled in the net.

The referee stopped the game, and De Gea and Smalling both helped Xia Xing untie his shoes.

"Xia, thank you for your defense just now. If it weren't for you, Ronaldo would have scored just now."

"You blocked the near corner, and I cleared the far corner. We cooperated well."

"Before the game, I said we could keep a clean sheet, but it seems that it's hanging. Real Madrid attacked really fiercely in this game..."

Smalling didn't say anything, but he patted Xia Xing on the shoulder.

After all, if the ball was lost just now, he would also be responsible.

Xia Xing's movements recovered freely, and Real Madrid's corner kick was also ready to be taken.

Now Manchester United is still in danger... (End of this chapter)
