I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

After the first goal, Manchester United took the initiative to press out and attack, but at the same time, whether it was De Bruyne who was advancing, or Carrick and Kanter who were lagging behind, they all firmly held the center.

The two full-backs, Luke Shaw and Kyle Walker, did not dare to press too much, at most they were equal to the double midfielders.

In the frontcourt, Rooney restrained Real Madrid's left, while Vardy attacked Real Madrid's left with all his strength, not only suppressing Modric, but also frequently creating threats on the court. This made the situation on the entire field of Real Madrid very embarrassing, even embarrassing.

The frontcourt trident that the Galaxy Battleship relies on, Benzema didn't have a shot, Ronaldo had a long shot, and Bell was invisible throughout the first half.

It can be said that Manchester United's tactics were very, very successful throughout the first half. Real Madrid only had the power to parry and had no room to fight back. It was difficult for the offense to pass through the midfield. On the other hand, Manchester United frequently created threats.

In addition to the lightning goal at the beginning of the game, Vardy also dribbled the ball inward from the left, shifted his right foot, and passed diagonally behind him. Rooney quickly inserted behind Casemiro and crossed into the penalty area. Germany Browne then pushed in and shot, but Tintin missed the shot this time and missed it slightly.

Then Vardy sent another wonderful pass from the left, and the pick passed to the back point. Rooney followed up and hit the goal directly, but still missed.

The most threatening attack of the game occurred in the 28th minute.

Rooney sent a precise cross from the right, which fell to the back point.

Vardy quickly plugged in, flew the header in front of the baseline, and returned to the goal. Harry Kane pushed from close range in front of the goal. As a result, Real Madrid's real veteran Pepe blocked the shot as if with divine help, and then De Bruyne's follow-up shot was also destroyed by Ramos.

In the 30th minute, Vardy created a long-range chance for Carrick. The England midfielder hit the goal with heavy artillery and hit the crossbar directly, but failed to score again.

In the 33rd minute, Rooney once again created a chance from the right and sent the ball into the right side of the penalty area. De Bruyne got the ball and crossed it to the goal. Under the interference of , the shot failed to hit the goal, and was shoveled out by Pepe flying in front of the goal line.

………………

It can be said that throughout the first half, Manchester United had the upper hand, including the ball possession rate. Manchester United was ahead of Real Madrid in all offensive statistics, and the number of shots was far ahead.

But it is in this kind of advantage,

Even when everyone felt that Manchester United should be able to score again soon, Real Madrid equalized the score.

In the 40th minute, Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack. Kroos dribbled the ball from the left and was tackled out of bounds by Kyle Walker. Ke took the lead to clear the siege with a header, but Ronaldo got the ball first outside the arc top area of ​​the penalty area, and Carrick fouled while defending.

Kroos took a free kick and the ball flew into the penalty area. Real Madrid's Bale rubbed the ball in the penalty area. Ramos rushed in the small penalty area and scored the ball into Manchester United's goal before the Manchester United defender cleared the siege.

However, this goal has a more obvious suspicion of offside.

The Manchester United players immediately signaled to the German referee Blüch that this should be considered an offside ball, but Blüch said the goal was valid.

Real Madrid tied the score with a goal that was obviously suspected of offside!

………………

The home team's locker room was so quiet that only the footsteps of the players remained.

It is absolutely unacceptable to be equalized by the opponent when the advantage is overwhelming.

But it just happened!

What else can I say besides saying indignantly, what luck did Real Madrid have?

Rooney sat in the locker room, took off his shirt and shorts, sweating profusely.

Because the Red Devils adopted the siege tactics, which caused all Manchester United players to consume a lot of physical energy in the first half.

The Manchester United coaching staff has also formulated a strategy specifically for this situation. They put ice cubes in the training vests, and each player wears them for two or three minutes to ensure that they can recover as soon as possible.

Rooney was one of the first to put it on, so he is sitting now, while the other team-mates are walking around the dressing room.

Only their voices remained in the locker room, and occasionally there was some movement from the staff.

Rooney believes that what the team needs most now is not mobilization, but affirmation. The team played very well in the first half. As long as we continue to maintain this pressure, we will definitely have a chance in the second half. But the key is to be patient, don't rush, continue to follow the style of play after leading in the first half, and sooner or later you will be able to score again.

But if you are in a hurry, Chris (C Ronaldo) is a guy with a very fast dribbling speed. Carrick's foul just now is a bit forced and helpless, because if Ronaldo is really activated, he can't stop it at all.

Regardless of whether it is the suppression of the frontcourt or the interception and pressure of the midfield, Manchester United has done a good job. It can even be said that there is no problem, but it is a little less lucky.

"Everyone sit down, we have more important things to attend to."

Ye Su and Giggs walked into the locker room, and shouted for the players to sit down.

There was a dead silence in the locker room, and everyone looked up at Ye Su.

"The style of play in the first half was very successful. We completely suppressed Real Madrid. We must continue in the second half, making good use of the space behind the opponent's defenders and taking advantage of our quick counterattack."

The players all nodded.

"We were unlucky in the first half, but that's over, 1-1 is nothing for us, we had chances to score again, you guys did a great job, keep creating chances and we will definitely score again. "

Obviously, the Manchester United coach also believes that the team's various targeted tactical arrangements in the first half have been realized and achieved results, and there is no need to make changes and adjustments. But at the same time, Ye Su also said that he would make substitutions around 15 to 20 minutes into the second half.

………………

Both teams clearly felt that there was no need to adjust the situation in the first half. Manchester United had the upper hand, Real Madrid defended well, and neither side was willing to make changes easily. No one knows what the situation will look like after taking the initiative to seek change.

The hot weather and different tactics forced Manchester United to consume more than Real Madrid. And the obvious point is that in the second half, Real Madrid began to try to fight back.

First, Ronaldo formed an offside, and then Ronaldo's long-distance attack in the middle was destroyed by Kanter's accurate and decisive tackle.

Seeing this scene, the domestic fans laughed and said that there are no obstacles in the world, only Kanter who cannot pass, and even Ronaldo cannot pass Kanter.

Manchester United have never been able to find a way to effectively break the Real Madrid goal.

Rooney was closely guarded by Casemiro and Kroos in the frontcourt. Zidane even seemed to have the feeling that he would not hesitate to use two players to lock Rooney. In the first half, Manchester United players frequently missed good opportunities. Real Madrid thinks this tactic of exchange is very cost-effective.

………………

The situation is changing bit by bit. The average age of Real Madrid players is older, but Manchester United's tactics consume more, which makes the two sides seem to have reached a certain balance again.

The situation on the court has also become somewhat stalemate.

Ye Su finally made a substitution adjustment in the 63rd minute, and the teenager Rashford replaced Vardy.

"He finally couldn't help it anymore." Zidane smiled, walked back immediately, looked at the bench, and signaled Danilo to get ready to play.

In the first half, Manchester United allowed Vardy to attack on the left, which caused Real Madrid's right back Carvajal to get a yellow card early, and it was time to replace him. Now Ye Su replaced Vardy with the teenager Rashford and continued to attack Real Madrid's right. Carvajal is very dangerous, and a substitution is very necessary.

"Their midfield is so good!" Zidane shook his head and sighed.

In Zidane's view, Manchester United's midfield is simply perfect. Needless to say, the frontcourt can completely form two sets of top lineups with three forwards, and the midfielder is also extremely strong.

Kanter and Carrick form a double midfielder, which is simply a barrier in front of Manchester United's defense. Coupled with De Bruyne, Manchester United's entire midfield can be described as solid, and even suppressed Real Madrid's midfield tonight.

Ronaldo and Bell didn't perform at all, and Manchester United's midfield strength can be seen.

"The main thing is that we were held back by Rooney." Bertoni explained.

Zidane nodded frequently, and one Rooney made Real Madrid use two players to guard him. It is no wonder that the midfielder is not at a disadvantage.

Zidane couldn't help admiring Ye Su, who dared to leave the heavy responsibility of defending Ronaldo to Kanter alone. Carrick was more often responsible for other tasks, only occasionally filling in.

As far as he is concerned, he would not dare to let the Real Madrid players defend Rooney alone. If only Casemiro was allowed to defend Rooney and Kroos was freed, Manchester United's midfield advantage would not be so obvious.

But even now, even though the game has been going on for nearly sixty-five minutes, Zidane still dare not relax his vigilance against Rooney, because he is too dangerous!

Players like Rooney and Ronaldo no longer need to prove anything with goals or assists. Their presence on the court itself is the most threatening thing.

Just like Ronaldo, there is only one long shot in the audience so far, but almost all of Real Madrid's threatening attacks come from him. As long as you give him the ball, as long as you give him a chance, he can shine.

Why not Manchester United?

If people like Harry Kane, De Bruyne and Carrick had a better ability to seize opportunities, Manchester United would at least lead 3-0 in the first half. Attacked several times, but failed to score.
