Real Madrid opened the scoring with Casemiro's offside goal, leading Manchester United 1:0.

Although it is said that this offside goal had a lot of luck, there is a saying in football that luck is a manifestation of strength. As the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since the restructuring of the Champions League, Real Madrid's strength is beyond doubt.

Without Carvajal's precise guidance, or Casemiro's lack of alertness, this goal would have ceased to exist.

Ronaldo did not participate in the goal, but his running attracted the attention of Manchester United's defensive players, so that Casemiro completed a flying left-foot shot without being marked.

"Beep~"

Referee Rocky blew his whistle, and the European Super Cup match between Manchester United and Real Madrid resumed.

Van Carey, who received Lukaku's pass, did not rush to dribble forward. Through observation, Real Madrid players had already stood up and headed towards Breaking forward won't bring any good results, so cooperating with teammates becomes the best option.

Unexpectedly, Real Madrid's position defense after taking the lead was very active, forcing Pogba and Matic to be unable to play the ball through high pressure. , when the football was given to Van Kerry on the side, the Real Madrid defensive players were already fully in place, thus losing the breakthrough space.

Under forced circumstances, they had to give it to Matic, who was back to the side and behind to receive the ball, and he completed the transfer. Taliang is not the kind of winger with strong breakthrough ability. He is a winger with attacking midfielder attributes, and he has the strongest defensive awareness among Manchester United's forwards. Mourinho also chose this point when he sent him to play, because Manchester United relies on the most. The scorer was Van Kerry.

The football was given to Mkhitaryan. He was at a loss when facing Marcelo and Bale who were defending frontally. Modric was also watching in the ribs. In order to avoid Real Madrid stealing the ball and counterattacking, he A direct pass from the right.

The quality of the hasty pass can be imagined...

The football cut across the field horizontally and flew to the other sideline. Van Carey wanted to get the ball, but was stuck by the experienced Carvajal. position, gave the ball to the sideline, and did not even get the sideline ball.

"aoaooaooaoaooooooooo——"

The Real Madrid fans in the audience were impassioned and cheered one after another. They were obviously satisfied with the score and the advantageous situation.

Mourinho, standing in the home team coach's command area, frowned and fell into deep thought.

Van Carey is frozen, and the offense lacks new explosive points. What he can do is very limited. This situation requires adjustments to the players, but replacing Mkhitaryan in the first half is not a good idea. After all, the score is only one goal behind. , not to the point of burning the boat down.

Time passed by second by second, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the 35th minute. Real Madrid still took the initiative in the game with its overall technical advantage. Cristiano Ronaldo once again got the chance to shoot, which made the Manchester United fans in the audience panic.

Fortunately, De Gea, who was in a good position, was in hot form. He flew sideways and blocked the football, which shocked the Manchester United fans in front of the TV and broke out in a cold sweat.

"woowowowoooooooooooo——"

Manchester United fans at the Willem II Stadium let out frightened exclamations. If De Gea hadn't reacted quickly to this goal, Ronaldo would have had a high probability of helping Real Madrid expand the score.

The on-site director took the opportunity to give Mourinho a close-up shot. PP sports commentator Zhan Jun looked at the frowning Mourinho and said in a deep voice:"Manchester United must solve the scoring problem on the offensive end, otherwise Real Madrid will have a high probability. Expand the score before the end of the first half."

How could Mourinho not know this?

Whether the team can equalize the score at the Willem II Stadium mainly depends on Van Kerry.

Pogba's role as a free midfielder has not been reflected, and Matic has not perfectly integrated into the team's tactical system. Herrera's main task is defense and cannot share the pressure of organizing offense.

Mourinho looked back at Van der Beek on the bench and shook his head. If the pre-match formations were bolder and Van der Beek was full of energy and good in offense and defense, the current situation would be different. Much better.

But then again, there are no ifs in the world. Since you have adopted another tactic, you have to bear the corresponding consequences.

The current score is only 0:1 behind, and there is still enough time to equalize the score, or even take the lead!

The top priority is how to maintain the one-goal deficit until the end of the first half

※※※

Time passed by second by second. Real Madrid, who took the initiative in the game, continued to put pressure on Manchester United's defense with their tacit offensive cooperation. The ball possession ratio given by the broadcaster also became 73%, with Real Madrid's 72% leading Manchester United's 28%..

During this period, Van Carey was closely monitored by Real Madrid players and was unable to relieve the team's defensive pressure. He felt strongly uneasy and always felt that the team would concede the ball again.

As a goal scorer before the end of the first half, he must find a way to solve the scoring problem.

As Bell completed a long shot on the right side of the attack that slightly missed the goal post, in the 43rd minute of the game, Van Kary took the initiative to request a change and changed positions with Mkhitaryan.

The pressure on left back Marcelo increased greatly. Ramos, who had been very successful in defending Van Carey in the first half, changed positions from right center back to left center back. Van Carey glanced at it and didn't care. Anyway, he had no inverse foot and was on the right. Try it and see if you can find an opportunity.

Marcelo is a typical full-back who is strong in offense and weak in defense. Once the transition from defense to offense is successfully completed, he will have the opportunity to challenge Ramos alone.

What I didn't expect was that the counterattack failed and Real Madrid scored again.

Fan Kerry came to the right, which meant that Real Madrid's defensive pressure on the right dropped sharply. Both Bell and Carvajal could focus on the offense. Real Madrid's goal came from the cooperation of Carvajal and Bell. The two passed the ball tacitly, and Bell broke through to the bottom line. His impressive speed and superb passing skills were fully demonstrated.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who advanced to the left rib of the penalty area, jumped up high and was still clearly stuck in mid-air. He overpowered Bailly and completed a powerful lion toss. The football hit the snow-white net in the upper right corner of the goal.……

"aooaoaooaoaooaooooooo——"

The Willem II Stadium has completely turned into a sea of ​​joy for Real Madrid fans, with waves of cheers coming one after another.

The faces of the Manchester United fans in the audience were ashen. Since the 2016-2017 season, this situation has never happened in a game with Van Kerry...

It shouldn't be!

Manchester United fans who were in such a bad mood automatically ignored the crazy celebrating Real Madrid players and subconsciously looked for Van Kerry on the pitch.

I saw Fan Kerry returning to the front of his own penalty area and constantly inciting his teammates with words and body movements.

Mourinho frowned, and when he looked at Van Carey, he suddenly regained his confidence.

The Manchester United player looked at the passionate Fan Kerry dully and said nothing, like a well-behaved little brother listening attentively to the big boss's speech.

"……Not scoring a goal is my responsibility! I apologize to everyone here, but I promise! As long as there is a chance, give me the ball and I will definitely score! Believe me."

Van Kerry's sincere eyes touched every Manchester United player. Only then did Valencia realize that he was the captain of the team. He arched his arms and followed Van Kerry's words and said loudly:"We have to work together, believe in Kerry! He can do anything! There is still time in the first half, we have to win!"

Other players, you look at me, I look at you, and each other can feel the blood flowing in their bodies.

Football players are naturally unwilling to admit defeat, and the desire to fight hidden in their hearts has been completely stimulated. Every one of them has high fighting spirit. Who else would I choose?

The Real Madrid players, who were two goals ahead, were curious as to why Manchester United, which had suffered heavy losses one after another, still had such fighting spirit?

Ronaldo glanced at Van Kerry and grinned:"Good boy, let's see how I defeat your tenacious fighting spirit!""
