Although Tottenham had a considerable physical advantage in this game and led Real Madrid three to one on the total score, George and his players did not take it lightly. After all, it was not long ago that AC Milan was reversed by Deportivo La Coruna with four goals in the first round when they won 4-1. No one wants to repeat the mistakes of the Rossoneri and be firmly nailed to the pillar of shame. .
Therefore, for the second round match against Real Madrid, it can be said that the players played very cautiously and had no intention of underestimating the enemy at all!
Soon, with the whistle of the referee Frisk, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Tottenham Hotspur and Real Madrid was watched by 36,000 fans. Announcing the official start!
After the game started, the Real Madrid players who had the right to kick-off immediately launched a charge towards Tottenham's gate - after losing 1-3 in the first round, the promotion situation has become extremely serious and they must seize every opportunity. The total score was overtaken in one minute. Otherwise, what awaits them will be the tragic ending of the Galaxy Battleship failing in the Champions League quarter-finals!
It is an extremely difficult task for any team to score three goals in a row within ninety minutes without allowing the opponent to score. Not to mention a team like Real Madrid with a frontcourt full of superstars but a scumbag defense with all sorts of tricks!
Real Madrid players are certainly aware of the difficulty of this task, but they have been forced into a corner and have no choice at this time - if they are already eight points behind Barcelona in La Liga, the team will stop at ten points in the Champions League. The top six, then the criticism from fans and media alone is enough to completely drown them, making the "Galactic Battleship" sign a complete joke!
Since the players were relatively energetic at the beginning, Real Madrid's offense was quite sharp in the first ten minutes of the game. Superstars such as Ronaldo, Raul, Zidane and Figo have shown their talents and brought great defensive pressure to Tottenham's defense!
But even so, Real Madrid players failed to score the crucial goal for them. At the fifteenth minute of the game, the score was still zero to zero, without any change. Obviously, Tottenham's defense once again withstood the test of Real Madrid's superstars, proving to people that Their strength!
If Real Madrid's offense is like a surging tide and seems to have the upper hand, then Tottenham's defense is like a big elastic net. No matter how fierce Real Madrid's offense is, they can immediately React and keep the Galactic Battleship's offensive firmly out of your own door!
Of course, although the big net woven by Tottenham players is extremely tight and successfully intercepted most of Real Madrid's offensive attacks, in general, they rely more on the defensive system carefully built by Allegri. Play defense, basically. After all, there are not many players who can guard these superstars in one-on-one situations. Although Vidic and Ledley King are capable, they are not among this group. Therefore, once Real Madrid opens up the formation to compete in personal ability, Tottenham players can only bite the bullet and challenge these superstars one-on-one, or make a choice and choose key targets to defend!
And there is a saying that goes well: a hundred secrets will eventually lead to a sparse one. Although Tottenham's defense is extremely tight, it is inevitable that there will be times when concentration is lost or the defense is not timely enough. And these superstars of Real Madrid are among the best in the world in their ability to discover loopholes and seize opportunities!
In the 26th minute of the game, Ronaldo, who had pulled out of the penalty area, suddenly started after receiving Zidane's pass. The alien used his powerful instantaneous explosive power and speed to get rid of Vidic. Although Ledley King rushed over to cover the defense at the first time, he still failed to stop Ronaldo's breakthrough!
However, after breaking into the penalty area, Ronaldo did not choose to continue dribbling the ball, but directly shot a low angle from a small angle twelve meters away from the goal. Due to injuries and unrestrained nightlife, Ronaldo's current physical condition has already deteriorated. Not as good as before, especially in terms of endurance and physical fitness. Therefore, even if the alien relies on his explosive power that has not yet significantly degraded to forcefully break through the central defense line composed of Ledley King and Vidic, he does not have enough confidence and physical strength to challenge Cech in a duel!
Although his physical fitness has declined compared with his peak period, Ronaldo's low shot still shows his level as a top forward. Not only is he extremely fast, but he also has an extremely tricky angle. Although Cech tried his best to stretch his arms and try to change the path of the ball, the Czech goalkeeper failed to save the alien's shot!
Unfortunately, although Ronaldo's ball bypassed Cech's fingers, it did not fly into the goal behind the Czech goalkeeper. Instead, it hit the far post and bounced off the baseline!
Seeing this scene, countless Real Madrid fans sighed - if Ronaldo's shot can bring Real Madrid a goal, then the Galacticos will be much easier to play in this game, and it will also have a negative impact on the team's morale. Not a small improvement. By then, Real Madrid, with their morale boosted, is likely to win Tottenham in one go and advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
Ronaldo's shot once again set off Real Madrid's offensive frenzy. In the next nearly ten minutes, Zidane, Figo, Raul, and even Carlos in the backcourt all stepped forward to test Cech's goalkeeping ability. However, Tottenham's several counterattacks were all intercepted by Samuel and Helguera in advance due to insufficient passes from Alonso and Davis, and failed to pose a sufficient threat!
Perhaps it is for this reason that the Real Madrid players, who were attacking with all their strength, did not notice that their formation was too high up. Samuel and Helguera even moved up near the center circle of the stadium to ensure that The three lines of the team will not be disconnected. This means that as long as Tottenham withstands this offensive and launches a quick counterattack, it is very likely that Real Madrid will be killed!
In the 35th minute of the game, this opportunity finally came belatedly after the hard waiting of Tottenham players - Raul's turn in the penalty area was blocked by Vidic with his body, and Mas returned to defend. Cerano cleared the ball out of the penalty area. Alonso, who received the ball, did not wait for Graveson to come forward to interfere, and once again sent a long pass, kicking the ball to the right where Ronaldo was!
At this time, the consequences of Carlos' excessive pressure on the offensive end finally appeared. The vacuum on the left defense created by the Brazilian gave the forward Ronaldo room to gallop! And Samuel and Helguera, who turned slowly, couldn't keep up with the Portuguese's advancing speed at all, and could only watch the distance between them and Ronaldo getting farther and farther!
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had formed a one-man attack, was not greedy for credit. Facing Casillas who attacked and blocked, the Portuguese made a fake shot and passed the ball to Klose who followed up in the middle!
Facing a mostly empty goal, Klose had no intention of wasting his teammates' kindness. I saw the German kicking the ball and shooting the ball into the door in front of him! One to zero!
