1108 Heavy Resistance
Football Temple, Santiago Bernabeu.
On the evening of March 11, the stars were shining, and the Bernabeu stadium was brightly lit, and the stadium was reflected like daytime.
When Real Madrid and Liverpool players walked into the stadium, the biggest highlight expected by the outside world: Qin Xiong returned to the Bernabeu.
This did not create much commotion.
The Real Madrid fans in the stands showed relatively rational and restrained emotions.
There is no fanaticism in recalling the past, nor is there a targeted booing voice for Qin Xiong to come back as an opponent.
This just reflects the unique side of Real Madrid fans.
They love clubs and want to see high-level games.
For them, their mentality is more open-minded.
I am lucky if I get it, but I am lucky if I lose it.
What you leave is what you leave. As long as it is not a player who joins his mortal enemy, everything can be accepted naturally.
Besides, they now have the best players considered by the outside world, such as Ronaldo and Kaka.
This atmosphere made Qin Xiong happier.
He did not think there was grudges and hatred between him and Real Madrid. He just had a gathering when he was together, and if he was not together, he had a separation when he was not together, he had a separation when he was not.
Real Madrid president Florentino sat in a private room waiting for the start of the game.
His expression was solemn and he couldn't feel relaxed at all.
When Liverpool came to the Bernabeu with a 5:3 lead, and when Real Madrid people were looking forward to the birth of a miracle, Florentino was unable to be optimistic, because as a leader, he had to first think about how to face the defeat after the defeat.
The senior executives of Real Madrid will naturally imagine how the team's construction and development will be carried out if they are eliminated by Liverpool at the Bernabeu.
The first thing to do is: Who should I find as a scapegoat!
For the journey of the second generation of the Galaxy Battleship, if it cannot soar into the sky, how to move forward in difficult times is a topic that cannot be avoided. No matter how difficult the problem is, it must be solved.
Now, Florentino is like a powerhouse waiting for the judgment of fate. He can only witness what the wheel of reality takes and then make new decisions.
In any case, this is a game full of superstars, and it has been sought after and paid attention to by countless fans around the world.
The magnificent Champions League theme song echoed in the Bernabeu stadium, indicating that the game is about to begin.
"Welcome to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final will start here. La Liga giants Real Madrid will play against the league leader Reds Liverpool at home. In the first leg of Anfield, Real Madrid lost to Liverpool 3-5 away. They will advance at home today and have at least a net victory over Liverpool two goals before they have hope of turning the tables.
The good news is that the staff of both teams are very neat and there is no shortage of soldiers and generals, which will not cause the coaches of the two teams to be in a difficult situation in the arrangement of troops.
It is worth mentioning that Qin Xiong, a superstar who transferred from Real Madrid to Liverpool before the season, returned to the Bernabeu after 9 months. He once won many honors and championships for Real Madrid. Today, as an opponent, I don’t know what kind of performance he will perform.
But Qin Xiong, who is nicknamed the "Mad Lord Killer" by Fleet Street, must be the top enemy that must be the first in Real Madrid's defense. Otherwise, Real Madrid will definitely regret it.
OK, let's take a look at the list of both sides.
Real Madrid 433.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Defenders: Ramos, Pepe, Albiol, Aberoa.
Midfielder: Ras Diyala, Guti, Kaka.
Forwards: Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuain.
Today Real Madrid has significantly strengthened their offense, and they have to score goals at the Bernabeu. And more than one, so it is not surprising that Pellegrini's approach to strengthening the offense.
Liverpool today is 442.
Goalkeeper: Reiner.
Defenders: Johnson, Carragher, Scotter Aurelio.
Midfielders: Lucas, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerald.
Forward: Torres, Qin Xiong.
In fact, Liverpool's lineup is more like a 4312.
Lucas, Mascherano Alonso plays three midfielders, Gerald's central defender, Qin Xiong and Torres play two forwards.
Koeman removed Kuyt today and used defensive midfielder Lucas. It seems that Koeman is also afraid of the game at the Bernabeu. He is afraid of Real Madrid's offense, thus further strengthening the midfield defense.
The game begins soon, let's see who will advance to the Champions League quarterfinals this season after 90 minutes!"
When Pellegrini saw Liverpool's lineup, he frowned.
Liverpool can play against Real Madrid at Anfield at all costs.
But when he arrived at the Bernabeu, he obviously acted like a steady and counterattack!
This is naturally unfavorable for Real Madrid.
Because Real Madrid first requires them to attack and attack wildly in terms of the situation!
And at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid is like a chicken blood, and there is only attack in their eyes!
Under multiple factors, Real Madrid is most afraid of their opponents' defense and counterattack.
Pellegrini could not imagine how terrifying the power Liverpool would show when playing a defensive counterattack.
He couldn't imagine that because Liverpool had almost never played like this before!
Now in order to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Liverpool has wisely chosen to counterattack on the road.
The game began, Real Madrid fought at the Bernabeu, and at the beginning it quickly accelerated the pace of the game and pushed the offensive into the dangerous area of Liverpool to launch a threatening offensive.
In the second minute, Ronaldo dribbled the ball and rushed forward after receiving Kaka's pass from the left.
He also wants to crush Glenn Johnson, but Liverpool added a defensive midfielder today, and did a better job of compressing the space in the backcourt. Johnson will have Lucas as a helper, so Johnson will not be too panicked first, and secondly, the space for Ronaldo to cut across the penalty area will be greatly reduced.
Sure enough, Ronaldo fell into a dead end when he dribbled and he had to pass the ball back to Aberoa behind him, and then Real Madrid made another offensive adjustment.
Kaka wanted to organize and dispatch in the middle lane, but after halftime, his activity space was also restricted.
In the end, he had to pass the ball back to Guti.
If it weren't for Gago's difficult task, veteran Guti would probably not have appeared in the lineup.
This time, Guti gave a diagonal plug.
He wanted to create a chance for Higuain to cut, but the football was cut off by Scotter.
Chapter completed!
