"Ronaldo! Shoot!" Seeing Ronaldo break through Lidley King's defense like a wooden pile, and almost penetrated Cech's ten fingers with a shot, the Real Madrid commentator sighed with regret, "Ronnie is really unlucky. It's only a few centimeters away, and he can score the goal for Real Madrid in this game. Unfortunately, God did not favor Real Madrid and Ronaldo this time, but helped Tottenham, allowing the post to block Ronaldo's shot."

On the other hand, when George, who was standing on the sideline to command the overall situation, saw the ball shot by Ronaldo, flew out of the baseline after hitting the goal post, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really worried that his goal would be broken by Ronaldo, so that the situation on the field would become quite passive.

Although to withstand the attack in Real Madrid at the opening stage and hold on until the opponent's physical strength is unsustainable, it is the chance to win the game, but when it is necessary to operate, George and Tottenham players have realized that the difficulty of completing this goal is really great. Not to mention, in the absence of physical fitness, Real Madrid's three superstars, Zidane, Figo and Ronaldo in the frontcourt alone are enough to cause extremely huge trouble to Tottenham's defense!

For example, the attack just now was Figo that restrained Alonso and Evra's attention on the right. Zidane, who held the ball, attracted Vidic and Mascherano to double-team defense and seized the gap exposed by Tottenham's defense line, making a wonderful pass for Ronaldo, creating an opportunity for the aliens to fight against Ridley King one-on-one!

If it weren't for Zidane and others who had the ability to change the game in an instant, Mascherano and others who were inexperienced in this regard dispersed their defensive power, then Tottenham's carefully built defense line by Allegri would not have allowed Ronaldo to have such a good opportunity!

Real Madrid fans were naturally extremely satisfied when they saw Zidane and other superstars having such wonderful strokes after the opening. When they were in a good mood, they began to cheer for Real Madrid players on the court in the stands. Of course, if the team's performance in the game did not meet their wishes, these Real Madrid fans would also work hard to cheer for their players.

The cheers from the stands greatly boosted the morale of Real Madrid players, making them excited as if they were injected with chicken blood. The offensive was even higher and higher, as if they could break through Tottenham's goal at any time. These situations have almost increased the defensive pressure of Tottenham players during this period!

However, although Tottenham was very passive during this period, it did not just sacrificing the offense completely, but simply shrank and defended in the backcourt. With Alonso as a top midfielder and Robben and Ronaldo two fast horses cruising in the frontcourt, Tottenham naturally had no reason not to play Real Madrid's fast counterattack. Not to mention, Real Madrid now has extremely serious problems of focusing on offense and light on defense. Carlos, who was over the age of the year, could no longer return to defense as quickly as he was when he was young. The two main center defenders Samuel and Elgra have the stubbornness of slow return to defense!

If the players he carefully selected and trained cannot even grasp these obvious weaknesses in Real Madrid, then George will need to consider changing the team in the next transfer window.

What made George satisfied was that Tottenham players did not disappoint his expectations. Faced with Real Madrid's increasingly prosperous offensive, they stubbornly withstood the pressure, and at the same time seized the opportunity of Real Madrid's large-scale attack from time to time to launch a long pass to counterattack, making the home team be afraid of throwing the rat and not daring to further press the formation.

After Tottenham players fought their best to withstand Real Madrid's fierce attack in the opening stage, as time went by and the game deepened, Real Madrid's players' physical fitness began to become increasingly unsustainable, and their morale also declined due to the situation of being unable to conquer for a long time. The double decline in physical fitness and morale made Real Madrid's offensive no longer as sharp and extremely threatening as they were in the first twenty minutes of the game!

It is not surprising that Real Madrid will have physical problems so early. You should know that Zidane, Figo and Carlos are already veterans over 30 years old, and their physical fitness is no longer as good as their peak period. And after the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Ronaldo, who is becoming fatter and fatter after the Korean and Japanese World Cup, also has similar problems. Therefore, it is impossible for them to guarantee that they will do their best at all times in 90 minutes!

As a future world-class midfielder, Alonso naturally noticed these changes in Real Madrid. So, at the 25th minute of the game, he seized a chance that Zidane was intercepted by Mascherano and directly sent a precise over-top long pass to Robben's position!

After receiving Alonso's long pass, Robben did not hesitate at all and immediately dribbled the ball towards Real Madrid's goal!

By the way, when instigating a quick counterattack and choosing the offensive direction, Alonso secretly played tricks. Espanyol clearly remembered George's instructions before the game. He did not choose the side of Carlos, which seemed to be more likely to form a counterattack opportunity, but wisely handed the ball to Robben, allowing the Dutch Pan to attack the right defense line guarded by Salgado!

Although Robert Carlos, who will be 32 years old in more than a month, can no longer take into account both offense and defense like he did two years ago. The decline in physical fitness has caused the defensive vacuum left by the Brazilian after he was involved in the attack to increase, but in today's game, the right side of Salgado is responsible for is the real fatal injury on the Real Madrid defense line!

The reason why he said this is because unlike others, Salgado was in the game with injuries. The old injury on his right knee seriously restricted his degree and explosive power, making him unable to defend with all his strength. Especially when defending a player like Robben, Salgado, who was injured, had no way to do anything!

Sure enough, in the face of Robben's impact, the Real Madrid No. 2 could not keep up with the Dutch Pan. Robben made a simple emergency stop and left Salgado far behind and single shot!

Next, facing Casillas, who took the initiative to attack and tried to block the shooting angle, Robben used his left foot to nimblely towards the ball, easily breaking through the defense of the Spanish national goal, and then directly pushed the ball into the empty goal!

One to zero! In the first leg of the Champions League 8th finals, Tottenham Hotspur was not optimistic before the game to take advantage of a quick counterattack opportunity to break through the Galactic battleship Real Madrid's goal!
