Chapter 594 Benzema
"Foul!!" Before the referee could say anything, the Real Madrid fans in the stands jumped up from their seats, pointing at Bruno on the field and shouting in unison.
Most players will quickly wave their hands to show that they did not commit a foul. Bruno did not do this action. He did not have time to prove anything to others. You must know that this is a good opportunity for Manchester United to attack!
Bruno didn't care about the referee at all. If the referee called him a foul, he would just send it out. If he didn't, he would send the football out and the game would continue!
When he got up from the ground, Ronaldo was still lying on the ground, raising his hands to indicate that the opponent had committed a foul.
The referee did not satisfy the wishes of Real Madrid fans. He just hooked his hand to signal Ronaldo to get up, and then ran after Bruno.
Manchester United's attack!
Bruno dribbled the ball forward along the wing, Cancelo escorted him, Rashford supported him in front, and there were Harry Kane retreating and Kante in the middle. Further away, he could also make a long diagonal pass to find Mbappe and Valencia on the right.
Because Ronaldo lost the ball, Real Madrid's defense seemed hasty.
Bruno walked forward more than twenty meters before someone came up to block him.
As soon as Casemiro appeared in front of Bruno, Bruno passed the ball to Harry Kane who came back to receive it, while he continued to accelerate forward to create the illusion of a two-on-one with Harry Kane.
Real Madrid's defense was indeed disturbed by him, and Harry Kane took the opportunity to pass the ball to Rashford on the wing.
Rashford made another cross, and Mbappe, who was in the middle, headed the ball, but it was slightly off target.
………………
Real Madrid escaped a disaster, and their fans had even more reason to be dissatisfied with the referee and Bruno. They were dissatisfied with the referee for not calling a foul and with Bruno's rough actions and lack of sportsmanship.
When you see Ronaldo lying on the ground, don’t you just reach out and kick the ball out of the sideline?
The Spanish commentator held a similar view.
In fact, in the eyes of this commentator, the referee of this game had long been regarded as a "black whistle" who favored Manchester United.
When Bruno "brutally and brutally" tackled Ronaldo, the referee should have shown him a yellow card, but the referee just gave him a verbal warning.
This time it was even more excessive, Ronaldo was kicked to the ground, but the referee didn't even call a foul!
Since the referee does not give Real Madrid and Ronaldo a fair penalty, they will do it themselves!
Now, whenever Bruno gets the ball, the Kyiv Olympic Stadium will immediately be filled with the uniform boos of Real Madrid fans.
Real Madrid fans hated Bruno, but Manchester United fans loved him. As soon as Real Madrid fans started booing Bruno, Manchester United fans in the stands started singing.
There were boos on one side and singing on the other side, and the fans of both sides started the competition in this way.
………………
The TV was replaying the moment when Bruno tackled Ronaldo. This controversial shot was played several times so that everyone can see it clearly.
"No problem at all! No problem at all! It was a very clean tackle! Bruno stretched his body straight and didn't even touch the corner of Ronaldo's clothes!"
The Spanish commentator who had just sworn that it must be a rude, brutal and immoral foul shut up, because no matter from which angle you look at it, it was an impeccable tackle, very clean.
Ronaldo fell down entirely because his foot tripped over the football, due to inertia!
Real Madrid did not slow down its offensive momentum just because Ronaldo was stopped by Bruno. They continued to intensify their attack, attacking again and again.
They must equalize the score before the end of the first half. Real Madrid has failed to win any of the four major domestic competitions this season, and the Champions League is their last hope of winning the championship.
If they went into halftime with a score of 0:1 in the first half, it would have caused a lot of uncertainty in the second half of the game, and they might even miss the championship.
A season in which the team failed to win any of the four major titles is unacceptable to anyone, whether it is the Real Madrid players, the Real Madrid management or the Real Madrid fans.
So no matter what, we have to equalize the score before the end of the first half. Of course it would be better if we could reverse the lead in the first half.
But at least they haven't lost their composure and know that some things cannot be forced.
………………
The attack that Bruno just blocked was just one of the few shining performances of Manchester United during this period. More often than not, Manchester United could only be pressed into their own half by the powerful Real Madrid, relying on long passes to organize the attack. Only Mbappe was left in the front, and even Harry Kane and Rashford had to return to defense.
Mbappe stayed in front because his defensive ability is almost zero, and it would be useless if he went back. It would be better for him to stay in front to tie down the Real Madrid defenders.
Mbappe is extremely fast and is definitely a master at counterattacks. Real Madrid definitely dare not leave him alone!
Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's territory amid the continuous cheers of their fans.
Just looking at the offensive during this period, you would feel that it is only a matter of time before Real Madrid wins this game, because Manchester United had no chance to fight back under their attack. All they could do was defend, and defend.
Although Manchester United's defense is also very good, and they have relied on airtight defense to win many victories in the past. But now their opponent is Real Madrid, one of the most powerful offensive teams on the planet, with top strikers such as Ronaldo and Benzema, and even superstars such as Bale sitting on the bench. Not many fans believe that Manchester United can keep defending without losing the ball.
Not to mention the spectators' doubts, even Manchester United's own players were doubting whether they could hold on like this.
………………
Real Madrid finally equalized the score before the end of the first half.
In the 37th minute, they organized a successful attack, and Ronaldo was still firmly restrained by Bruno. But this time Ronaldo did not confront Bruno head-on, he attracted Bruno's attention and quickly passed the ball to Modric in the middle.
Modric passed the ball to Kroos, who became the main attacking point of Real Madrid, and Ronaldo became the feint.
This adjustment caught Manchester United off guard.
Seeing Ronaldo take the ball, everyone thought that Ronaldo's side would become the main direction of the team's attack. Who would have thought that the ball would suddenly be transferred to the right side of Manchester United and the left side of Real Madrid. Marcelo came in from behind, Kroos pushed a through ball, Marcelo broke into the penalty area, and then passed it horizontally!
Benzema in the penalty area got the ball and shot!
De Gea made a save, and the ball hit him on the arm, hit the post, and then passed through the gap between him and the near post.
………………
"The ball is in!"
“GOOOOOOOOOOL！！GOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOLGOL！GOL！GOL！GOL！！GOOOL！！GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL——！！”
The Spanish commentator was screaming in a long-drawn-out voice like a madman, and listening to their commentary one really admires their lung capacity.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! Long live! Real Madrid! Long live! Karim Benzema! Long live!!!" After shouting "Goal" in one breath, he roared like a machine gun, "He equalized the score for the team! Real Madrid equalized the score! This goal came at a very timely moment! Real Madrid regained the initiative and advantage! Both sides of the game are back on the same starting line! Real Madrid now has great hope of defeating their opponent! Because they equalized the score, this will be a very heavy blow to Manchester United! Real Madrid! Go forward! Real Madrid!! You are invincible!!"
"Oh my! Real Madrid scored a goal!" He Wei did not hide his disappointment and dissatisfaction in his commentary, "It's such a pity that this goal was scored! De Gea even caught the ball, but unfortunately it slipped out of his hands!"
"Marcelo... keep an eye on him, don't let him pass the ball... Benzema! Benzema!" British commentator Lineker screamed, "Oops! Oops! The ball goes in... Benzema equalized the score for Real Madrid! Manchester United's lead is gone..."
In the commentary booth, when Benzema scored the goal, the commentators showed several different postures. The Spanish commentator stood up from his seat with his hands raised, while the British commentator lay on the commentary desk with his hands on his head.
The neutral commentators were relatively calm, but they all cheered for Real Madrid's goal because it would make the game more exciting.
As a neutral, of course I don’t want to see a situation where one company dominates a game. How many people like a one-sided game?
………………
In the stands, Real Madrid fans cheered and almost shook the stands of the Kyiv Olympic Stadium. They chanted: "Real Madrid! Real Madrid!! Real Madrid!!!"
Unlike the excited Real Madrid fans, many Manchester United fans held their heads in their hands with a look of frustration on their faces.
What they were worried about finally became a reality. Although they had worried before, when this moment really came, everyone still couldn't accept it for a while.
Real Madrid players were celebrating the goal and Benzema was surrounded and beaten.
On the other side, Bruno is encouraging everyone: "It's just a goal! We are still tied with them! We are not behind, there is nothing to worry about! The key now is that we must be steady. There are only a few minutes left before the end of the first half. We must not lose any more points during this period no matter what!”
He kept clapping his hands and shouting loudly to his teammates to calm everyone's restless hearts because of losing the ball.
