Chapter 577 The Shadow of Youth
Chapter 577 The Shadow of Youth
Baptista's worries did not materialize as Bayern Munich adjusted their strategy.
When Rong Guang scored the goal, Magath did not take the opportunity to win Real Madrid in one go, but continued to defend and counterattack.
In the away game, he chose to seek stability.
What if Ronaldo or Zidane suddenly had a convulsion and had a personal explosion to tie the score?
Still the most important thing is a solid defense.
Bayern Munich curled up and played on the counter-attack, catching every mistake by Real Madrid and playing Real Madrid's counter-attack.
Just like this, he still played very well, and almost scored a goal several times-if it weren't for the fact that Casillas was in such a good state...
In the No. 801 minute, Lahm sprained his ankle during the game because of the poor turf at the Bernabeu and was substituted.
Magath also used up the last substitution.
In the ensuing game, Real Madrid, as if waking up from a dream, launched a fierce offensive towards Bayern Munich's goal, and seemed to want to equalize the score at the last moment.Now they don't want to win, as long as they don't lose.As for the fact that the opponent scored an away goal...who cares?
Raul Gonzalez was also replaced. After he came on the field, he ran actively, and he was seen in both offense and defense, full of fighting spirit.
Driven by him, Real Madrid's fighting spirit has improved slightly.
But fighting spirit is not everything.
Mere fighting spirit is useless.
After Zidane left the field, Guti's position was premised, but it conflicted with Raul's position again, so Real Madrid still did not have a serious organizer. Their offense, when there was not much time left in the game, relied on the individual performance of the superstar.
Bayern Munich are only one goal ahead, giving Real Madrid's players some hope.
However, when Rong Guang took advantage of their opportunity to overwhelm the attack, hit a counterattack, and almost scored, they became more honest.
The glorious shot was blocked by Casillas with his toes, which shocked the Real Madrid players and fans into a cold sweat.
"Rong! Almost! He almost sealed the victory for the team! Real Madrid should think about it - when they attack so recklessly, Bayern Munich has someone watching them all the time! It is very likely that Rong will completely end the suspense of this game for Bayern Munich before they score the equalizer..."
Real Madrid are also aware of this. When they want to equalize the score, Bayern Munich has the ability to kill them directly.
As a last resort, their defenders could only stay in the half court.
For example, Roberto Carlos, a full-back who is good at attacking, dare not even cross the center line, for fear that if the opponent counterattacks, he will not be able to catch up with Rongguang.
In this way, Rong Guang alone restrained the entire defense line of Real Madrid.
And since Real Madrid can't press hard, the threat of attack is greatly reduced.
In the end, amidst the boos and white handkerchiefs, Real Madrid lost 0:1 at home to Bayern Munich.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the decibels of boos above the Bernabéu stadium reached their peak.
When they booed, they all looked at the rostrum-angry Real Madrid fans vented their anger to the club's chairman Florentino.
And the Real Madrid players on the field were unwilling to stay on the field for too long, and most of them left in a hurry with their heads down.
But there are still some decent players.
For example, Casillas stood with Kahn after the game, and the two exchanged jerseys.
Kahn did not forget to pat Casillas on the shoulder to comfort him: "It's no big deal, Igor. You know, in the past two seasons, I was often scored by that kid, just get used to it..."
But it didn't sound like he was comforting Casillas...
Casillas also had a wry smile on his face.

After the game, Rong Guang and Lucas Sutton raised their arms and clapped their hands to thank the Bayern Munich fans who came from afar in the stands.
At the same time they heard huge boos.
"Real Madrid players are really pitiful, being booed by their own fans..." Rong Guang said with emotion.
"It's not uncommon. It's very common in Real Madrid. Real Madrid is so successful that their fans can't accept failure at all. If the player does not perform well, they will boo mercilessly." Lucas introduced.
After hearing his friend's introduction, Rong Guang curled his lips: "I don't like being booed by my supporters. That feeling is unimaginable. No matter how good this team is, I might not like it..."
As he was talking, Lucas stabbed him in the arm.
Only then did he realize that in front of them stood a Real Madrid player Ronaldo!
"Uh..." No matter how Rong Guang knew what he said was disrespectful to Real Madrid just now, he wondered if Ronaldo was here to trouble him...
At this time, Ronaldo suddenly said to Rong Guang: "Can I exchange a jersey with you?"
The glory of exchanging jerseys is already very familiar, and he will not be like some people who think that it is a great thing for Ronaldo to ask him to exchange jerseys.
Since the other party took the initiative to ask him for the jersey, he had nothing to refuse. He nodded, took off the jersey and handed it to the other party.
Lucas Sutton next to him was both surprised and envious.
You know, with Ronaldo's status in Brazilian football and in world football, others have always been chasing him to exchange jerseys. When will he take the initiative to find others to exchange jerseys?
Rong this kid is really amazing!
Under the envious eyes of Lucas, Rong Guang took the Real Madrid No. [-] jersey from Ronaldo, and also handed Ronaldo his own Bayern Munich No. [-] jersey.
After exchanging jerseys, Ronaldo did not turn around and leave, but had a chat with Rong Guang.
"You know, Rong? When you scored a goal, I seemed to see the shadow of my youth in you. It was also fast and flexible...but now you see..." Ronaldo opened his arms, showing his protruding belly. "Take good care of your body, Rong."
For Ronaldo, who was able to remind himself to cherish his body after losing the game, Rongguang also had a good impression. He sincerely thanked Ronaldo: "I will, thank you, Ronaldo."
"In the end, it's a pity...you can't play for Brazil..."
After speaking, Ronaldo shook his head, then turned and walked away.
Rong Guang watched Ronaldo leave, then looked down at the white jersey in his hand.
He doesn't think it's a pity not to be able to play for Brazil...
Lucas stared at the side: "Did I hear you right? Ronaldo said you look like him when you were young? My God!"
"Uh, what's the matter, Lucas?" Rong Guang didn't understand.
"Do you know what such an evaluation means? The young Ronaldo is called an 'alien'. Everyone thinks that he has a great hope of becoming the third football champion after Pele and Maradona! If he is not injured...he must be the football champion! Ronaldo can be tried by himself as a young him...He is really optimistic about you, Rong!"
Lucas said excitedly.
"So powerful?" Rong Guang felt that what Lucas said was exaggerated, what about "ball king" and "alien"...
"Nonsense!" Lucas rolled his eyes. "But I'm also curious now, if you continue to play like this, what will you be able to achieve in the end..."
He rubbed his chin and said.
"That's too far, Lucas."
"No, not at all!"

The atmosphere in the dressing room of Real Madrid, which lost the game, was very dull.
No one was in the mood for chatting or joking.
Roberto Carlos, who used to be the pistachio in the team's locker room, also looked depressed.
This game had a great impact on him, and he was also beaten.
Just after the game ended, he walked quickly into the player tunnel with his head down and a gloomy face, and then returned to the locker room.
Then he sat down in his own position in the locker room, bowed his head and said nothing, exuding an aura of "don't get close to strangers" all over his body.
He was angry and unwilling to lose to Rongguang in the game.
In this game, Rong Guang, who was facing off against him, was in the limelight, but in contrast, he was useless and embarrassed.He can even think of how the European media, especially the German media, will ridicule him tomorrow.
New and old replacement?
What a nuisance!
He's just sulking all by himself.
Until he saw the Bayern Munich jersey on Ronaldo.
"Who did you swap jerseys with?" he whispered, looking up.
Ronaldo said: "Honor."
"That kid?"
"Well, that kid."
"Why do you want to exchange jerseys with him?"
"Because he reminds me of me when I was young," Ronaldo said.
Hearing this sentence, Roberto Carlos was stunned for a while, and then his eyes lit up—yes!That kid is indeed very powerful, so powerful that he looks like Ronaldo when he was young.If I lost to a young Ronaldo... then there seems to be nothing to complain about, right?
Roberto Carlos figured it out in an instant.
It's not that I'm old, but that Glory is too powerful.
In this game, I traveled through time and space, and had a contest with Ronaldo at his peak, and I lost, that is not ashamed.
Losing to aliens is normal.
So even if the media ridicules me tomorrow, I won't care.
And... being able to play against Ronaldo at his peak, he is also satisfied...
Ronaldo noticed that Roberto Carlos actually showed a smile. Before that, his expression was the same as that of his dead father...
"What's the matter, you?" he asked.
"No, nothing." Roberto Carlos shook his head. "Can you give me this jersey?" He pointed to the glorious jersey in Ronaldo's hand. "I'm his opponent in this game, right?"
Ronaldo changed his jersey to the other hand farther away from his teammates: "Don't even think about it! To exchange jerseys, find him yourself! This is what I want to come!"
He cares about the glorious jersey.
Because there is a shadow of his youth on this jersey...
It was a world from which there was no going back, whether it was his weight or his ability.
