Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man! - Chapter 341
c341 Fancy card advancement: two and a half stars!
Real Madrid finally won the game without a single blow.
Real Betis was also relieved that they had finally finished the game.
Playing Real Madrid is really stressful!
After the game, there was not much time left for Real Madrid to rest.
Because on the third day, Real Madrid will face another Champions League group match.
Dortmund is still leading the group, followed by Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, and Legia Warsaw at the bottom.
Real Madrid’s next opponent is Legia Warsaw.
This is the first time the two sides have met in a European war. Real Madrid has won all six previous matches against Polish teams.
Legia Warsaw has only won Atletico Madrid in 1971 in its eight previous matches against Spanish teams, and has drawn two and lost five in the other seven games.
Real Madrid has been unbeaten in 22 games in all competitions, and has been unbeaten in 14 home games since February.
Real Madrid is looking forward to an eight-game winning streak at home in the Champions League, having won 27 of its previous 31 home games in the Champions League.
James Rodriguez, Asensio and Danilo took turns to play.
Modric had a two-week break, Bai Ran was still in the starting lineup, and Casemiro was still unable to play due to injury.
Players from both sides arrived at the Bernabeu early in the morning.
The coach of Legia Warsaw faced a huge test. After the game, the decisive moment came.
If the team under Magila could not get all three points in today’s game, they would have bid farewell to this year’s Champions League in theory.
Originally, they did not plan to enter the knockout stage under the watchful eyes of Dortmund and Real Madrid. As a weak team, this kind of team is basically cannon fodder.
The pre-match ceremony went very smoothly.
After shaking hands, the players on both sides began to step into the center of the court.
Bai Ran and the Real Madrid players were full of vigor and intended to win three points.
As the referee blew the whistle, the game began!
Real Madrid took the initiative after the opening.
Ronaldo’s long-range shot in front of the penalty area was blocked, and then his shot on the right side of the penalty area was also blocked.
Afterwards, Legia Warsaw did not fail to launch an attack, but they were all easily resolved by Real Madrid.
This attack was like this, Navas easily saved Morin’s long shot.
Ronaldo broke through from the left and made a cross, but Bale’s shot from 10 yards away missed.
The Polish counterattack was quite threatening, and Navas blocked Jodlowicz’s low shot from the right side of the penalty area with his legs.
Bale made a diagonal pass from the right, and Benzema’s shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper.
Legia Warsaw almost scored in the 12th minute. Guilhemé broke through from the right and passed back, and Ofoi’s shot from the edge of the penalty area hit the inside of the left post and bounced back.
The game was open, Asensio passed the ball, and Bale’s shot from the outside hit the post and missed.
Real Madrid took the lead in the 16th minute. Bai Ran made a pass from the wing, and Bale cut into the right side of the penalty area and shot into the far corner from 18 yards!
This ball is in!
Bale’s shooting skills are very accurate, and he seized the opportunity at this moment.
Beautiful shot!
Bai Ran got an assist in the Champions League.
The fans in the stands were also excited. This game was so exciting!
Real Madrid expanded the score in the 20th minute. Asensio made a diagonal pass, Benzema passed back from the left side of the penalty area, and Marcelo shot from the edge of the penalty area and hit Jodlowicz and deflected into the net, 2-0!
A game without suspense! Real Madrid showed strong strength, which made Legia Warsaw a little suffocated!
However, the opponent did not give up hope.
Legia Warsaw scored a goal in the 22nd minute. Danilo fouled Radovic in the penalty area, and the latter took the penalty kick himself.
Radovic stood on the penalty spot facing Navas, and his spirit was very focused.
He took a run-up-shooting!
It was done in one fell swoop!
The ball hit the lower left corner of the goal very easily, and the score came to 1-2!
Legia Warsaw finally saved face. With this goal, they rekindled the flame of hope.
After that, Benzema’s half-volley in the melee in the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper.
Asensio’s volley from the edge of the penalty area in the corner kick melee was slightly higher.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Ronaldo’s direct free kick from 20 yards was saved again.
Bale lost the ball in the backcourt, and Kuharchik’s diagonal shot from the left side of the penalty area missed.
Real Madrid widened the gap again in the 37th minute. Danilo made a cross, and Ronaldo made a timely return after a poor stop at 12 yards. Bai Ran shot low from the edge of the penalty area and scored, 3-1!
Ronaldo assisted Bai Ran, and the roles of the two reversed at this moment!
It can be seen that Ronaldo’s assist ability and Bai Ran’s scoring ability are also very outstanding.
Bai Ran once again used his amazing performance to prove to the world that he is the strongest attacker on the planet.
His passionate celebration on the sidelines was also deeply remembered by the fans.
Bai Ran’s goal was so cool!
Before the end of the first half, Hrusek made a cross, but Radovich missed the chance.
Thus, the game entered the halftime stage, and Real Madrid temporarily led 3-1.
With Bai Ran’s pass and shot, as well as the midfielder’s dodge, Real Madrid’s advantage was very obvious.
In the game, they had a 62% ball possession rate.
And the pass success rate was also very high.
All of this relied on Real Madrid’s very strong midfield system.
Real Madrid continued to control the game in the second half.
Benzema’s volley in the corner kick melee was saved by Malarz again.
James Rodriguez’s shot from outside the penalty area was blocked and deflected and then saved by the goalkeeper. Bale’s shot from the right side of the penalty area was also blocked.
Ronaldo was given a yellow card for a foul behind the wing.
James Rodriguez and Bale were replaced by Lucas Vazquez and Morata respectively.
Real Madrid sealed the victory in the 68th minute. Morata broke through the left and made a cross. Lucas Vazquez, who was unguarded, volleyed the ball into the net at the first time from 10 yards, 4-1!
There was no suspense in this game, it was so shocking!
Real Madrid’s dominance continues!
In this year, Real Madrid showed people great competitiveness.
All the doubts disappeared at this moment.
Legia Warsaw had no resistance and was abused by Real Madrid!
This goal also announced the irreversibility of the result of the game. It was basically impossible for Legia Warsaw to chase three goals at the Bernabeu.
After that, Asensio’s shot from outside the penalty area was confiscated.
Benzema made a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Ronaldo’s volley from 12 yards missed the right post.
Kovacic replaced Asensio.
Benzema passed the ball, and Ronaldo’s low shot from a small angle outside the upper right corner of the small penalty area slipped out.
In the 85th minute, Ronaldo broke through the defense and passed the ball directly, and Morata shot into the near corner from 8 yards on the left side of the penalty area, 5-1!
It’s not easy!
Morata’s goal!
Before this, Morata was even nicknamed “the king of offside”. Nine out of ten of his goals were offside!
And the frequent mistakes also made this player controversial in the outside world.
But Morata scored this goal just right.
At the same time, this also helped Morata complete another goal data in the Champions League.
After that, Nikolic got rid of two defenders and shot from the right side of the penalty area, but Navas saved it.
Ronaldo turned around and shot with his left foot at the edge of the penalty area, but the goalkeeper also lifted it over the crossbar. Benzema’s close-range header missed the goal in the corner kick melee.
There were constant opportunities on the field, but there were not as many goals as expected.
The referee also looked at the watch and finally blew the whistle to end the game.
Real Madrid once again showed its extremely strong strength in the Champions League, easily defeating Legia Warsaw 5-1!
However, this game did not allow Real Madrid to top the group.
The specific situation depends on the other side, the game between Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon.
To be honest, compared with Real Madrid vs. Legia Warsaw, the other side is more interesting, after all, Sporting Lisbon’s overall strength is still relatively strong.
I don’t know if Dortmund can continue its previous strength!
For Dortmund, it can be said that it has been raining cats and dogs recently. Not only is the team’s record mediocre, but it has also suffered very serious injuries.
One of the core players in the frontcourt, “Little Rocket” Reus, has been injured for a long time, while the midfielder Castro has a torn adductor muscle. On the back line, Subotic has also undergone surgery, and another killer in the frontcourt, Schurrle, has also suffered a knee injury.
Like Castro, Bender also has some problems with his adductor muscle. Of course, in addition to these people, Bender and Durm have also been confirmed to be unable to play in this Champions League group match.
9 players are unable to play! This can almost be said to have damaged more than half of Dortmund’s main lineup, especially in the frontcourt. Both Schurrle and Reus, two international players, are unable to play. The trump cards in Tuchel’s hand are Aubameyang and Gotze, who just returned from Bayern this season.
Whether these two can support Dortmund’s attack line will probably be the key to whether Dortmund can take away 3 points from the away game.
Of course, the injuries of Subotic, Durm and others are also worse for Dortmund’s defense line.
It can be said that Dortmund’s lineup in this game is stretched. How will Tuchel adjust the situation?
What impact will such a large-scale reduction have on Dortmund?
Although it is plagued by injuries, as a strong team recognized by the Bundesliga as second only to Bayern, there is no doubt that Dortmund’s hard power is still above their opponent Sporting Lisbon in this game.
However, Dortmund’s recent performance has disappointed the fans. Since the draw with Real Madrid in the last round of the Champions League, Dortmund has failed to win two consecutive games after returning to the Bundesliga. First, it was overturned by its old rival Leverkusen away from home, and then it returned to the home court and was tied by Hertha Berlin, which has performed strongly this season. It has even been suppressed by its opponent in the Bundesliga standings.
At present, Dortmund can be said to be in urgent need of a victory, and compared with Hertha Berlin, which has performed very well in the Bundesliga this season, the Portuguese giant Sporting Lisbon may be a little easier to deal with.
Even with so many injured players, I’m afraid Tuchel’s goal for this away game is to aim for three points. This is not only for the team to get a safer place in the Champions League round of 16, but also related to whether Dortmund, which is in poor form recently, can regain morale.
This is equally important for whether they can regain their form when they return to the league next time.
Can Dortmund regain confidence from Sporting Lisbon? The result of this game is worth looking forward to.
Although Dortmund intends to win Sporting Lisbon away to rebuild confidence, in fact, it is not an easy task for the Germans to take away 3 points in this Portuguese away game.
Sporting Lisbon has recently shown that they are an absolute “home dragon”.
Although their record in away games is average, it is difficult for any team to beat them at home. Sporting Lisbon has won all of its recent 5 home games.
They naturally hope to win Dortmund, their most direct competitor for the group qualification, at home with this momentum.
Dortmund currently has 1 win and 1 draw in the first two rounds, with 4 points, the same as Real Madrid, while Sporting Lisbon has 1 win and 1 loss in the first two rounds, closely following. If they can win Dortmund with the advantage of home court in this game, their points will exceed their opponents and occupy a more advantageous position in the competition for the group qualification.
Can the Portuguese use their strong home court to beat Dortmund? This will also be a highlight of this game.
Dortmund will line up in a 4141 formation in this game, with Aubameyang riding alone, Pulisic and Dembele flying on both wings, Gotze and Shinji Kagawa forming the offensive dual core, and Weigl as the single defensive midfielder.
On the defensive line, Papastathopoulos and Bartra partnered as central defenders, Paslak and Ginter were on the left and right, and Burki was still the goalkeeper.
These are the members of Dortmund’s lineup.
At present, Dortmund is in poor form and has suffered injuries. Schmelzer, Guerrero, Schurrle and others are unable to play. In the past three games in all competitions, they have only achieved 2 draws and 1 loss. In the first two rounds of the Champions League, Dortmund defeated Legia Warsaw and drew with Real Madrid, temporarily ranking first in the group.
Lisbon is temporarily ranked third in the group, with only 1 point difference from Dortmund and Real Madrid. In this campaign, Lisbon has the advantage of playing at home. If they want to take the initiative to advance, they must attack Dortmund. At present, Lisbon has achieved 4 unbeaten games in all competitions, and this campaign is striving for 5 consecutive home wins. But the main midfielder A. Silva is absent due to injury and the coach is suspended.
In front of the TV, Bai Ran is also watching this game attentively.
He didn’t want to watch the game because he had nothing to do. Real Madrid would face Dortmund next. The second match between the two teams was about to begin. Bai Ran wanted to see if there were any flaws in Dortmund’s style of play that could be grasped.
After all, the last time the two teams met was a draw, and Real Madrid did not take any advantage from the Hornets.
This shows how strong the Hornets are this season!
This game between Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon has quietly kicked off.
In the second minute of the game, Gerson Martins’ long shot flew out of the baseline.
In the 9th minute, Gotze made a wonderful pass in the middle, and Aubameyang forced Zeglar’s defense on the right wing to break into the penalty area, and then he calmly shot and hit the lower left corner.
This ball is in!
Dortmund leads Sporting Lisbon 1-0.
Bai Ran frowned and took a breath. Aubameyang’s personal ability is too strong!
In this game, Aubameyang almost used his speed and body to throw the opponent behind him. There was no skill, just a strong breakthrough!
In the 23rd minute, Ginter passed the ball from the right, and Pulisic’s shot into the penalty area missed.
In the 29th minute of the game, Gerson Martins made a cross, and Dost’s header missed the left post.
Three minutes later, the situation on the field changed again. Elias’s shot was saved by Burki, and two minutes later, Dembele broke through and made a cross, and Aubameyang’s header missed the right post.
Dortmund had many opportunities in this game!
In the 35th minute, Aubameyang’s shot in the middle of the penalty area was bravely blocked by the goalkeeper.
Four minutes later, Sporting Lisbon finally scored a goal, but the goal was invalid because of the collision with the goalkeeper.
Then, Gotze also sent a wonderful pass, and Aubameyang’s shot missed the right post.
In the 43rd minute of the game near the end of the first half, Weigl broke through the middle and shot the ball from the top of the arc, and the ball hit the lower left corner of the goal.
This ball hit the opponent’s goal again, and Dortmund led Sporting Lisbon 2-0 at the end of the first half.
These two goals fully demonstrated the terrifying strength of the Hornets, and Bai Ran was also shocked.
No wonder this team can tie with Real Madrid.
Their youth storm swept the court, and the players running all over the court seemed to be running forever!
The game came to the 56th minute, Gerson Martins passed the ball, and Dost shot from the right wing of the penalty area and missed. Three minutes later, Dembele made a cross, and Papastathopoulos’s header missed the right post.
In the 65th minute, Bartra passed back in the penalty area, and Burki caught the ball with his hand, which was illegal. The referee awarded an indirect free kick in the penalty area.
Then William Carvalho passed the ball with his heel, and Bruno Cesar’s powerful shot hit!
Sporting Lisbon tied the score to 1-2.
The strength of the Portuguese Super League giants should not be underestimated!
In the 69th minute, Zeglar made a cross and Dost headed the ball wide.
The pace of the game became slower and slower. In the 78th minute, Pulisic’s long shot hit the crossbar and bounced out.
Before the final moment, in the 83rd minute of the game, Campbell passed the ball and Gerson Martins shot from the right wing of the penalty area and missed the far corner.
This was also the last offensive opportunity of the game…
In the end, Dortmund defeated Sporting Lisbon 2-1.
They once again won three points and topped the group standings, leading Real Madrid in goal difference.
After watching the whole game, Dortmund scored two goals with 10 shots and 3 shots on target, while Sporting Lisbon scored 1 goal with 10 shots and 5 shots on target. Dortmund’s possession rate reached 58%, higher than Sporting Lisbon’s 42%.
Bai Ran also understood the horror of Dortmund. What he had to do now was to find Zidane immediately to discuss the things that needed to be focused on in the next match against Dortmund.
After that, Bai Ran had already stuffed the attribute points into his fancy SSS card.
Now Bai Ran’s fancy has grown to the level of two and a half stars.
Don’t underestimate this half star, it is not the same as before.
Bai Ran is also eager to try, and wants to quickly play the next game to test the usefulness of his latest skills.
