Chapter 593 GOAT Competition

These worries slowly accumulated in the hearts of many Manchester United players. They may not show any impact at first, but over time, they will become a heavy burden in the hearts of the players, affecting their thoughts and actions.

This is pressure. The pressure of leading will make the players think too much.

In a major game like the Champions League final, thinking too much is not a good thing.

When the game just started, Manchester United had a momentum of "barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes", so they could play freely as they please and show their best side.

But now they have become the ones wearing shoes, and Real Madrid has become barefoot.

The roles of both sides have been reversed, and their mentality is naturally different.

Now Real Madrid has no other way except scoring goals, while Manchester United has a psychological burden.

After all, this Manchester United is still too young, and many players lack experience in major competitions, especially the experience of dealing with early leads in the Champions League final.

Everyone knows that they have to attack and try to score goals. But now they are very afraid of losing the ball, not the kind of goal scored by the opponent, but the ball being cut off at their feet.

This mental burden made their performance in the game obviously not as relaxed as before.

For example, this time, Rashford originally planned to break through, but when he saw the opponent's Carvajal was very close to him, he changed his mind temporarily and chose to pass the ball. As a result, because it was a hasty pass, the intention was too obvious, and Kroos saw through it and intercepted it halfway.

Real Madrid took the opportunity to counterattack. If Bruno had not returned to defense in time, this loss of the ball would have caused very serious consequences.

………………

What kind of team is Real Madrid? They have experienced countless major battles, and what opponents and situations have they not seen?

After observing for a few rounds, they knew that Manchester United had some problems.

Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, the experienced Real Madrid strengthened the offensive and put more pressure on Manchester United while they were hesitant.

Manchester United was a little embarrassed during this period, but Real Madrid played well. Their powerful offensive was demonstrated.

Bruno became one of the players with the highest photogenic rate, of course, this is because Ronaldo often got the ball.

Every time Ronaldo gets the ball, the Spanish commentator gets particularly excited. Although Ronaldo is not Spanish, he has become the symbol of Real Madrid football.

"Ronaldo got the ball! He faces Bruno! Pass him!!"

"Fake move! Beautiful! Just like that! Speed ​​up! He can't outrun you, Cristiano!"

The fans of Real Madrid are the same. As soon as Ronaldo gets the ball, their huge cheers will be heard in the stands. More than 20,000 people will shout "Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Ronaldo!" together. It is really spectacular.

But they can't interfere with Bruno.

Although he is less than 24 years old, Bruno has seen too many big battles. He has not only experienced the Champions League final, but also the European Cup final, which are the finals of top world competitions!

………………

Ronaldo got the ball again, and he made a fake move to break through to the outside, but Bruno was unmoved, as if he knew it was a fake move.

Seeing that he didn't deceive Bruno, Ronaldo made a fake move to break through to the outside again, but Bruno still didn't move.

But Ronaldo couldn't waste time with Bruno here, as other Manchester United players were rushing towards him. The third breakthrough to the outside was no longer a feint.

Bruno almost moved with Ronaldo, but after Ronaldo kicked the ball out, he found that Bruno had followed him, and was following him very closely.

He swung his right foot to pretend to cross the ball, hoping to trick Bruno into losing his center of gravity to block it, and then stopped and turned around.

Usually, through this series of feints, the opponent would be shaken off, but the result was that after Ronaldo dribbled the ball and turned around, he found that Bruno was still lying in front of him. It felt like he had done a series of useless actions and was basically standing still.

Ronaldo sighed in his heart, knowing that he could not get rid of the opponent this time, but would be besieged by the opponent.

So he passed the ball to the back, to Carvajal who came in, and moved to the middle.

Carvajal broke through after receiving the ball, and then passed it.

In terms of headers, Real Madrid was at a disadvantage. Neither Benzema nor Isco could get a header in front of Van Dijk and Maguire.

Maguire headed the ball out.

However, Real Madrid's ability to grab the second point was excellent. The ball headed by Maguire fell to Casemiro's feet. Casemiro did not directly shoot from a distance, but passed the ball to Modric to reorganize the attack.

………………

Real Madrid continued to put pressure on Manchester United's defense.

He Wei could only praise Bruno's defensive ability during this period, and he was basically not seen on the offensive end.

In order to stabilize the defense, even if it was Manchester United's turn to attack, Bruno rarely joined in. He just used various distance passes in the backcourt to dispatch and organize and command the team. He now looks like a real defensive midfielder.

Ronaldo found that this game was actually very interesting, not only because Manchester United was not as weak as they thought, but also because Bruno was not as vulnerable as he thought.

Having been teammates with Bruno in the national team for almost four years, the two won the European Cup two years ago together, which made Ronaldo think he knew Bruno well enough.

But in today's game, Ronaldo discovered that Bruno not only has talents that amazed him on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, he actually has world-class defensive capabilities as a defensive midfielder.

This made Ronaldo sigh in his heart more than once, how could that kid be so strong? What else can he not do?

However, these sighs did not make Ronaldo flinch.

Such a game, such an opponent, is very interesting.

Everyone can see that Ronaldo is more active than before. He keeps raising his hands to ask. His movement speed was already fast enough, but now it is even faster than before!

………………

"Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball! Rashford came up to defend him, it was very easy!"

"Watching Cristiano Ronaldo play, you will feel at ease, because as long as the football reaches his feet, it will pose a threat to the opponent. He rarely loses the ball easily!"

Everyone gave their compliments to Ronaldo. Even the British commentators had to praise Ronaldo's performance and admitted that the 33-year-old Ronaldo is still the number one figure in world football.

Since Bruno won the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2015, there has been a saying of the "Big Three" in world football.

Many fans even compare Ronaldo, Yossi and Bruno with the "Big Three" of tennis, saying that Ronaldo is the Federer of football because they are equally handsome; Yossi is the Nadal of football, both of whom have impressive qualities. Amazing talent and unparalleled technical strength; Bruno is a small player in football and a rising star in football. He is in great shape. Whether it is personal ability or personal data, he is the number one player in today's world football. However, In terms of influence, there is still a gap between him and his two predecessors.

But in the eyes of most fans, Ronaldo, who has won the Champions League for the past two years, is the real goat in world football!

Just like Federer in tennis, he won three Grand Slams in the past year and returned to the number one in the world!

………………

Bruno also noticed the change in Ronaldo. The expression on his face became more serious, and he even frowned. It seemed that he was using all his abilities to deal with him.

Bruno is satisfied with this. In order to show respect, he must use all his strength to contain Ronaldo without reservation.

Real Madrid's counterattack, after they intercepted Harry Kane's pass to Mbappe in the backcourt, it quickly passed to the right wing, and Ronaldo picked up the ball near the center line.

He received the ball with his back to Rashford, and the moment he caught the ball, he used the instep of his outside foot to push the football behind him, and then turned around close to Rashford.

He was very fast. After he completed his turn, Rashford realized that it was too late to turn around and chase him.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who passed Rashford, immediately faced Cancelo's block.

He dunked the football with his left foot, and then accelerated forward to pass the ball. Cancelo flew directly to tackle, but he made him jump up and easily avoid it.

Seeing him pass two people, the Real Madrid fans in the stands let out deafening cheers.

The commentators in Madrid and Spain also shouted excitedly: "Cristiano Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo! He passed Rashford and then Cancelo! Beautiful! A Ronaldo like this is unstoppable!"

………………

Cristiano Ronaldo, who passed Cancelo, was in front of Manchester United's centre-back. His teammates were running to meet him, which caused a dilemma for Manchester United's defenders.

If you want to defend Ronaldo, the space on your side will be left to Benzema, Isco, Kroos and others; if you don't defend Ronaldo, right? Let him dribble the ball directly towards Huanglong, and the result will be the same?

At this moment Bruno rushed from behind at high speed.

At this moment, in Bruno's mind, every move of Ronaldo was decomposed very clearly. Every step he took seemed to Bruno like a slow-motion replay. He could easily catch Ronaldo. Rhythm in dribbling.

Then just find the right rhythm and take the right opportunity...

Ronaldo waded the football out, and his speed changed. After all, he had to touch the ball and the rhythm could not remain consistent.

This is Bruno's chance!

The moment before Ronaldo's foot was about to touch the football, Bruno from the side suddenly stepped down to tackle it!

His right foot was accurately placed in front of the football. Ronaldo kicked the football, but instead of throwing the ball out, he encountered strong resistance. His body staggered and fell out, leaving the football behind. Bruno's feet.
