Chapter 2206: Real Madrid’s change of formation, is it a surprising move or a stupid one?
Manchester United arrived in Madrid a day in advance.
There were many media and fans waiting outside the hotel where the players were staying, but Manchester United did not interact this time.
After completing warm-up training on the rented field, the players were asked not to be interviewed.
As time went by, the players got on the bus and headed to the Bernabeu.
It has to be said that even the unrenovated Bernabeu is still one of the world's top stadiums. Coupled with its glorious history, the entire stadium is shrouded in an extra layer of glory.
Previously, when Ronaldo was at the peak of his life, he admitted that he wanted to play for Real Madrid.
In fact, before joining Real Madrid, Ronaldo received two offers.
One is a 1.5 million euro offer from Manchester City.
There is also an offer from Barcelona of 1.02 million euros.
At that time, the president of Real Madrid Club was not Florentino, and the interim president took the initiative to tell Mendes that Real Madrid would not sign Ronaldo.
It was not until that man returned to power and personally welcomed Ronaldo that Real Madrid entered a new era.
Later, Mourinho recommended Ye Chen to Florentino, but the other party didn't take it too seriously...
But now, a few years have passed, and Florentino is regretting it so much!
If we had pursued Ye Chen with all our strength, the football world would have ended long ago!
What about the other teams?
8:30pm.
The lights of the Bernabeu shone on the green lawn, sparkling.
The stands were packed with fans.
Today the Bernabeu directly opened up to people!
Because of the importance of this game, famous players such as Ronaldo and Carlos also came to watch the game.
Real Madrid president Florentino is also in the box in the stands!
He knew this match would be particularly tough.
But surrender is not something Real Madrid can do.
In Real Madrid's long history, surrender has never been tried.
On the contrary, they have countless classic battles where they came back to win.
In the locker room, Zidane mentioned the game in which Ronaldo helped Real Madrid reverse the game in the 2015-2016 season, and also mentioned his own flying shot against Leverkusen in the 2002 Champions League final...
It can be seen that he is still full of hope.
Of course, if he gave up, the other players would have already given up...
"Zhongyang TV station, Zhongyang TV station!"
He Wei's voice began to resound across China and all over the country!
"Welcome everyone to watch the second leg of the 2017-2018 season semi-finals on time. The two teams are Real Madrid at home in the Bernabeu and Manchester United!"
"I'm today's host He Wei, and next to me is my partner, Coach Xu Yang!"
"Good evening everyone, I'm Xu Yang!" Xu Yang greeted everyone with a smile.
"Real Madrid is the most successful club in this competition, no doubt about it!"
"They have a lot of experience to draw on in this tournament!"
"Although Real Madrid is currently trailing 3-1, they will definitely cause huge trouble for Manchester United when they return to their home court. Coach Xu, do you think Real Madrid has a chance to turn the tables tonight?"
Xu Yang nodded without hesitation, "There is definitely a chance. As you said, Real Madrid has a lot of experience in the Champions League. What kind of scenes have they not seen? In this game, as long as they can play their powerful offensive, considering the current defensive strength of Manchester United, it is really a question whether they can hold up!"
……
……
While this side was warming up before the game, Zhan Jun and his team were also getting into the game.
"The first time Real Madrid met Manchester United in the Champions League was in the semi-finals of the 56-57 season. But at that time, Real Madrid played at home in the first leg and defeated Manchester United 3-1. In the second leg, the two sides drew and Real Madrid advanced!"
"Later in the 67-68 season, Real Madrid met Manchester United again, but Manchester United beat Real Madrid 1-0 at home in the first leg and tied 3-3 in the second leg, successfully advancing to the final!"
"The next one was from 99 to 00. The first leg ended in a goalless draw, but in the second leg Real Madrid beat Manchester United 3-2 and advanced to the semi-finals!"
"The fourth encounter was in the 02-03 season. In the first leg, Real Madrid beat Manchester United 3-1. In the second leg, Manchester United beat Real Madrid 4-3 at home and Real Madrid advanced... It was also in the second game that Zidane exchanged jerseys with Beckham and invited him to join Real Madrid... This was also Beckham's farewell match."
“最近一次交手则是12-13赛季，皇马主场1比1战平曼联，次回合在客场2比1击败曼联再次晋级欧冠八强！”
"That is, in so many Champions League knockout matches, Real Madrid won four and lost one. Only in the 67-68 season did Manchester United successfully reach the final and beat Benfica 4-1 in the final to win the club's first Champions League trophy!"
"How will Manchester United perform tonight? Can Ye Chen continue to play the role of Real Madrid killer? Let's wait and see!!!"
……
……
"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams first!" He Wei's voice sank and he began to read.
"Real Madrid changes to 4231 formation!"
"The goalkeeper is still Courtois."
"Marcelo is the left back, Ramos and Varane are the double center backs, and Carvajal is the right back."
"Kovacic and Kroos are the double midfielders!"
"Isco on the left, Asensio on the attacking midfielder, Bale on the right."
"The lone striker is Benzema."
"We found that Pogba did not appear in the starting lineup. Is this a clever move or a stupid one? Let's wait and see!"
"Manchester United also made a slight change to the starting lineup, changing the formation from 433 to 4312!"
"Goalkeeper De Gea."
"Left back Damian, double centre backs Smalling and Pepe, right back Valencia."
"The three midfielders are B. Ronaldo, Herrera and Modric!"
"Attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne."
"Double center forwards Cristiano Ronaldo and Ye Chen!"
The official formation is actually different from the real formation.
Let me put it this way, Real Madrid actually used a 442 formation today, while Manchester United still used a 433!
The war is about to start.
Hundreds of millions of fans around the world are watching this event together.
Just as many media outlets have reported.
The intensity of this game is definitely at the level of the Champions League final.
After all, the most popular clubs in the world are undoubtedly Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Especially after Ye Chen joined Manchester United, a large number of Chinese fans joined, and there was a vague trend of surpassing Real Madrid...
Today's referee is the famous Turkish referee Cakir.
"Beep!"
"With the referee's whistle, the highlight of this Champions League semi-final officially begins!"
"Manchester United attack from left to right!"
"C Ronaldo kicked the ball first..."
Seeing the scene in the picture, many Real Madrid fans sighed.
So much has changed in just one year!
Their former pride returned to the place where their dream began and became their rival.
However, the fans here did not forget him. When Ronaldo came on the court before the game, the fans stood up and applauded him.
Although he has left, his name has been engraved in the history of Real Madrid!
Ps: I couldn't hold back last night, I got 6 out of 9! But Real Sociedad was a mess, Lille and Ajax also drew~ I can't figure it out~ Sure enough, strong teams are still trustworthy! Today we won't predict those teams that we can't name, Leipzig will win away, Atletico Madrid will win, Leverkusen will win, Roma's De Rossi is gone, I feel like they will lose today, let's let them draw or lose! In addition, I am still optimistic about Inter Milan, at most I can expect a draw, Bilbao and Barcelona can also win, considering that the submarine's home field is better, we can expect a draw~! Looking forward to good luck today! !
