………………………………………

The Spanish commentators jumped up from the commentary seats, shouting excitedly.

"?ó!!!!!! Benzema!!!!!!!!!"

"2:0!!! Benzema made it 2:0!!!"

"Real Madrid lead Manchester United 2-0 away!!! Mourinho's team lead Ferguson 2-0 away!!!"

"Now for Real Madrid, they have the advantage, with two goals in hand, and Mourinho's team defense is so solid. In the two rounds of the Champions League knockout rounds, Real Madrid has already stood in an absolutely dominant position. ! They are only one step away from the top four!!!”

As Spaniards, they have no psychological pressure on the interpretation of Real Madrid.

In recent years, the Premier League and La Liga have been competing for the first league. As the overlord of the Premier League, Manchester United's strong performance in the Champions League has also made the Premier League suppress La Liga in the European standings and become the recognized first league in the eyes of the world. As the leader of La Liga, Real Madrid was not only suppressed by rival Barcelona in the league, but also performed poorly in the European war. Spanish football people are unhappy.

Now, if Real Madrid can beat Manchester United, it will have a major effect on La Liga's return to the throne of the first league. Therefore, these Spanish commentators also feel proud.

Compared with the cheering and jumping Spanish commentators, the British commentators were a little bit lost.

The BBC commentator Lineker said helplessly: "Ferguson's team is in trouble! They are likely to lose their first game in Europe in the past two seasons in this game!!! They It is possible to bid farewell to the Champions League this season!! This is definitely not alarmist talk, but something that really happened in front of us!"

In the far east, Zhan Jun, the guest commentator of Xinlang Sports, also said: "Real Madrid scored a goal in less than a minute of the second half. , all scored goals, which had a great impact on Manchester United's morale, Real Madrid's luck was good, Benzema succeeded in a supplementary shot in the penalty area, and De Gea couldn't do anything about it!!!!"

Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV, said: "Although losing at home does not mean that Manchester United will be eliminated, but one thing is beyond doubt, that is, Manchester United may not be able to rewrite their unbeaten record in the Champions League.

From 2007 to 2009, Manchester United created a terrifying 25-game unbeaten record in the Champions League. Since March 31, 2010, after Manchester United lost 1:2 to Bayern in an away game, Manchester United remained unbeaten in the subsequent 22 UEFA Champions League games, which were 3:2 at home in the second round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the 2009-2010 season. Defeat Bayern, and last season's Champions League 13 consecutive victories, unbeaten in 6 group games this season, and double-beat Zenit St. Petersburg in the quarter-finals, but today their unbeaten record looks to end in Real Madrid Down! "

...

The commentators of all parties expressed their views on this goal in their own language. But there is no doubt that they all think that Manchester United is likely to be eliminated.

After all, with the strength of Real Madrid, Manchester United lost at home, or even a complete defeat, it would be even more useless to go away.

………………

Inside the stadium, Real Madrid's players ran wildly to celebrate.

But more striking is Mourinho. The Portuguese, wearing a black suit, slid and knelt to celebrate after running for more than 30 meters on the sidelines.

Han Dazui, who partnered with Duan Xuan, said with a smile: "Haha! This is Mourinho. He can always be different and make unexpected moves! But this also shows the excitement in Mourinho's heart. Trafford led Manchester United 2-0, this is the first time in recent seasons that a team can do this! Of course he has reason to be excited!!!”

Ferguson's face was livid, he was very dissatisfied with Ferdinand's defense just now. It is a major mistake to allow the opponent's center to easily grab the spot in the penalty area!

However, Ferguson also knew that anger and dissatisfaction were useless and would only further damage the team's morale.

The current situation can be said to be extremely unfavorable for Manchester United. The tactical adjustment he just made in the locker room was immediately disrupted by this ball.

Of course, the way to deal with one goal behind and two goals behind is of course different. One goal behind, Manchester United can still take time to look for opportunities patiently. And if they fall behind by two goals, time will be very tight for Manchester United.

The camera's lens locked on Ferguson on the sidelines.

John Mortensen said: "Now is the time to test Manchester United. In the past two seasons, Manchester United has been going smoothly in the Champions League. Although they occasionally encounter some difficulties, but in a situation as difficult as today, they have I have never encountered it before! Two goals behind, the opponent is still Real Madrid, it will be really difficult to get back in this game!"

Mortensen was right. Even many Manchester United fans looked at the field in a daze. After falling behind by two goals, the fans began to worry about the team. The sound in the stands has been reduced a lot.

In the VIP box, Florentino stood up and applauded. He didn't care what the ashen-faced Joel Glazer was thinking not far away.

Florentino sat down while applauding. In Florentino's view, they have already led by two goals. Is there any suspense in this game?

………………

Faced with such a situation, Ferguson decided to make a substitution, and he shouted to the bench: "Dimita, hurry up and warm up!!!!"

Berbatov quickly got up and ran to the sidelines for warm-up activities, ready to go into battle.

Berbatov warming up on the sidelines quickly attracted people's attention. On the TV screen, the broadcaster also gave a close-up shot of Berbatov who was warming up!

In the commentary booth, the commentators also noticed Berbatov who was warming up on the sidelines, and they all said: "Berbatov is warming up! It seems that Ferguson is going to make a substitution!!! Now Manchester United really needs to attack Already!!"

And taking advantage of the time before the game restarted, Ferguson called several players over to give them face-to-face instructions.

Sneijder was the first to be arranged: "Wesley!! Strengthen the long-range shot at the front of the penalty area!! Draw their defense line out!!"

Sneijder nodded, and Ferguson didn't have any more nonsense. He immediately turned to Bell, Ashley Young and Rooney, and said loudly: "Gareth, Ashley, you should strengthen the breakthrough cross on both sides, find Dimi The top of the tower and Wayne! Wayne, you pay attention to the supplementary shot in the penalty area!!!”

The four offensive players nodded and immediately returned to the field.

………………

After arranging the offense, Ferguson also called the defensive players over and explained: "Pay attention to the control of the second point at the front of the penalty area. If necessary, even if they make a foul, don't give them a chance to pass the ball out and counterattack! Michael, don't press too hard. Go up too high, pay attention to protect the rear defense!"

Ferguson spoke very quickly. After all, it is not the time for the intermission, and he did not say the reason for doing so. Time is running out, and he is just giving the task now.

Berbatov returned quickly from his warm-up and stood on the sidelines ready to play.

Ferguson put his arm around Berbatov's shoulder and asked: "Do you know what you are going to do, Dimita?"

Berbatov shouted: "Know! Boss!! I want to score, we need to equalize now!"

"That's right, Dimita! Bell and Young will pass the ball into the penalty area later, I don't care what method you use! As long as you send the ball into their goal!!" Ferguson patted Belba Tove's shoulder said, "Also, there is one sentence you said wrong, I don't just want to tie the game, we want to win!!!"

After a pause, Ferguson said word by word: "I will only accept winning!!! Got it!!!"

Berbatov nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "Understood! Boss! Don't worry, I will let Real Madrid keep the victory at Old Trafford!!"

………………

In the 53rd minute of the game, just 8 minutes into the second half, Ferguson played his first card. No. 9 striker Berbatov came on the field, and No. 22 veteran Scholes was replaced.

Seeing the sign played by the fourth official, Scholes quickly ran to the sidelines and high-fived Berbatov to complete the substitution.

Ferguson hugged Scholes on the sidelines and said: "Good job, Paul, but we need to attack now!!"

Of course Scholes knew that he was replaced not because of his poor performance. As a die-hard supporter of Ferguson, he had no complaints about it. He nodded slightly and replied: "I understand, boss!"

Ferguson patted him on the shoulder and asked him to return to the bench. Then he looked into the stadium, then turned his head to look at Mourinho, and said in his heart: Don't be too complacent, Jose, this game I will But you must win!

………………

Ferguson replaced a midfielder with a striker to strengthen the attacking force.

After completing the substitutions, Manchester United changed from the previous 4231 to 442.

At the critical moment, Ferguson still trusted his more familiar and more sure traditional formation.

However, today Manchester United's 442 formation is slightly different from the previous 442 formation. The four midfielders are not in a parallel position in most cases, but in a diamond position. Carrick stands in front of the back line to protect the defense line. Germany is behind the striker. As for Bell and Ashley Young, they are more sidelined than before.

After the referee blew his whistle again to kick-off, Manchester United also blew the horn of counterattack. They aggressively pressed the attack and formed a siege against Real Madrid.
