Arsenal's players came to the tunnel aggressively.
But in fact, Real Madrid's players were more aggressive than them.
It can't even be described as menacing.
Every Real Madrid player looked very solemn. Everyone looked forward and said nothing. In such an atmosphere, Arsenal could not relax too much, so both sides remained silent.
When both parties shake hands.
Arsenal's players felt Real Madrid's determination - they clenched the hands of Arsenal's players red.
After the game starts.
Just as Wenger expected.
Real Madrid put on a desperate posture from the beginning of the game.
attack!
Crazy offense.
The first minute of play.
Cristiano Ronaldo cut in from the wing and fired a blast!
The football hit the defensive player and went out of line.
"Corner kick! The game just started and Real Madrid entered the state! Ronaldo's shot created a corner kick! This is a good signal! This shows that Real Madrid entered the state very quickly on the offensive end of this game!"
The Spanish commentator was very excited.
Right now.
Xavi Alonso quickly took the corner kick.
In the middle, Mertesacker made a header to clear the ball.
The football appeared on the outside and fell at the feet of Modric, who replaced the bad beggar in the starting lineup in this game.
The Croatian stopped the ball with his left foot and volleyed directly with his right foot!
As a result, the football went slightly wide.
Although this wave of continuous attacks did not score the ball, it was a declaration from Real Madrid.
This is the end of this game.
In the third minute of the game, Modric intercepted Jenkinson's pass on the left, and then he immediately sent a through ball. Benzema countered offside and successfully formed a single goal.
"Modric! Good shot! Beautiful!! Oh wow!! Benzema!! Single shot! Single shot!!! GOOOOOOO"
The Spanish commentator shouted excitedly and even began to prepare for the goal in advance.
Face this single sword.
Szczesny struck quickly.
Benzema was already very close to the goal when he successfully countered offside, so he didn't have much space.
Because at the beginning of the game, Arsenal's defense was very deep.
This made it suddenly more difficult for Benzema to score this single goal.
So facing the charging Szczesny, Benzema tried to dunk his opponent and then shoot. As expected, he dunked Szczesny, but Ramsey, who was returning to defense, poked the ball out of the baseline first.
"Benzema spikes Ramsey!! Crucial defense!! Well done!!"
This time it was all the Arsenal fans who were excited.
Duan Xuan was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat just now.
"In the first three minutes, Real Madrid had two shots and a one-on-one shot. If Benzema dunked over and Ramsey didn't actively defend, it would have been a one-on-one shot!"
"This game is not just a formality!"
Duan Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the football crossing the baseline.
The fans of Dragon Kingdom were heartbroken.
"Fuck! Real Madrid is so fierce!"
"Arsenal, hold on!"
"If we concede the goal at the beginning, the game will really be on the line."
"Arsenal won't fall behind, right?"
Fans of the Dragon Kingdom are a little worried.
The corner kick was quickly taken.
In the middle, players from both sides competed for the top, and the scene was chaotic. In the chaos, full-back Monreal turned around with his back to the direction of attack and tried to make a clearance.
And Pepe fought with him.
Monreal's big-foot clearance hit Pepe's calf, and the ball that originally flew upwards turned into a ball flying close to the ground.
The ball was won by Marcelo on the outside. Marcelo immediately passed the ball across the middle. The little prince Khedira penetrated forward and fired a shot. The ball hit the second-tier stands.
Khedira spat, shook his head regretfully, stepped on the turf under his feet, implying that the turf was too soft, and then patted his chest to apologize to his teammates.
"Mine, mine."
Real Madrid's players quickly fell back to their respective positions.
Continuous attacks and shots boosted their confidence.
soon.
A better opportunity has come.
The eighth minute of the game.
Xavi Alonso sent a precise long pass from the backcourt.
The football's diagonal line spanned a distance of nearly fifty meters and accurately found Cristiano Ronaldo who was diagonally crossing into the penalty area from the wing.
Ronaldo tapped the ball with his head, then tightened the instep of his right foot and whipped the ball towards the goal.
"Ronaldo!!!"
"pretty!!"
All the commentators in the commentary box were exclaiming.
As soon as the shot route came out, the entire stadium was shocked.
boom! !
The huge sound seemed to hit the hearts of Arsenal fans.
call.
The whole stadium let out an exclamation of escape.
"The crossbar!! Ahhhh! The crossbar! The crossbar rejected Ronaldo's shot!!"
yelled the Spanish commentator.
"What a pity! If the ball had been lowered just a little bit, it would have definitely gone in! Szczesny didn't react at all, the ball was too fast!!"
"The game has only started for eight minutes, and Real Madrid has already created threats again and again, but unfortunately they have not been able to convert them into goals. However, if Real Madrid continues to play like this, Arsenal may soon lose. It’s the ball!”
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray shouted into his headset.
This made the Arsenal fans in North London who could not get tickets to enter the stadium to watch the game extremely anxious when they heard this sound.
The joyful atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium has also disappeared.
Instead.
It was solemn and anxious.
"We can't go on like this!"
Some fans shouted in the stands.
"We need to use offense to push them back!"
"Real Madrid's offense is terrible!"
Right now.
The television camera gave a close-up of Wenger on the sidelines.
His face was solemn.
at the same time.
The camera quickly switched to the faces of several core Arsenal players such as Yello, Cazorla, Arteta, and Mertesacker.
They also looked solemn.
The sweat beads on his face reflected the lights of the Emirates Stadium, crystal clear.
Even Ye Luo looked serious.
When this team attacks with all their strength, it is indeed very scary, like a terrifying tsunami hitting them.
Yello is an offensive player himself.
In this situation where Arsenal was suppressed as a whole and had almost no way to get the ball, Yello had no other way to do it.
Now they can only find a way to withstand Real Madrid's three attacks in the opening stage - first Benzema's single shot, and then Cristiano Ronaldo's long shot hitting the crossbar. What's next?
Ye Luo took a deep breath.
"Defend in position! Withstand their offensive for this period of time!!"
He clapped his hands vigorously and said loudly, and then stood in the middle circle.
It's not that he's not active defensively.
Rather
In this position, he contributes more to the team's defense because he can contain at least three Real Madrid players and prevent them from attacking.
The TV broadcast was still showing the opportunity that Ronaldo just missed.
The results are not over yet.
The TV broadcast quickly cut back to the scene.
At this time, the Portuguese was sitting in the penalty area with his arms spread out, staring at the referee, seeing that this gesture was asking for a penalty kick.
As a result, the referee waved his hand and let him get up.
This caused dissatisfaction among Real Madrid players.
Under the boos at the Emirates Stadium, Real Madrid players surrounded the referee.
"Ronaldo fell to the ground! This is a penalty!" the Spanish commentator shouted.
"Such contact is not enough to get a penalty!" Commentator Andy Gray, who was also at the scene, denied that this was a penalty kick.
"Cristiano Ronaldo fell to the ground. He was asking the referee for a penalty kick. But whether it was a penalty kick or not, no one knew in the blink of an eye. But letting Ronaldo fall to the ground in his own penalty area was not a decision. Good signal." Duan Xuan, who was in the studio at the back, could not see the situation immediately like the on-site commentator, so he was not sure.
At this moment, the TV began to play back the scene of Ronaldo falling to the ground.
This image caused controversy among fans.
After all, even when captured by a high-speed camera, no direct evidence of contact between the two parties was found. On the contrary, Ronaldo's fall to the ground was a bit exaggerated.
For a time, fans on both sides started to argue and criticize each other.
Very lively.
And on the court.
Players on both sides are also arguing.
The game was temporarily suspended.
Wenger on the sidelines breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
This interruption is likely to directly interrupt Real Madrid's offensive momentum.
Real Madrid's three axes.
Benzema's single shot.
Ronaldo's crossbar.
Ronaldo's suspected penalty kick.
All three axes have been struck.
Arsenal haven't conceded a goal yet.
More than ten minutes have passed since the game started.
Didn't concede a goal in these ten minutes.
Then Arsenal is basically stable!
Mourinho on the sidelines was so anxious that he jumped.
He wished he could rush into the field, pull Ronaldo up, and pull the Real Madrid players away.
When the team's offensive momentum was so strong, he took the initiative to interrupt the momentum.
This is really
Too damn scrambled eggs!
Mourinho shouted on the sidelines until his throat broke, but in the end Xabi Alonso was mature and prudent and called the Real Madrid players back.
But it only took a while.
Real Madrid's previously useless offensive momentum dissipated.
They must regain their offensive advantage.
but
After being suppressed for more than ten minutes, Arsenal came to their senses.
them
Is this opportunity still possible?
The TV broadcast was still replaying the scene where Cristiano Ronaldo fell to the ground.
The Spanish commentator also came to his senses.
"Real Madrid started the game with a wild attack for more than ten minutes, and now the game has been suspended because of a suspected penalty kick. This is not good for Real Madrid, especially since they haven't received a penalty kick yet. But there is still game time, and Real Madrid players only need to maintain this If you have ten minutes of offensive status, you will definitely score a goal!!"
In Madrid.
Many Real Madrid fans were clenching their fists and cheering for Real Madrid.
And on site.
Real Madrid was greeted with boos all over the sky.
Three axes were struck.
Next.
Can Real Madrid still be tough?
