On the evening of March 24, the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

There is no doubt that in the impression of fans all over the world, this is the sacred temple of professional football.

In this Bernabeu stadium, which can accommodate 70,000 fans, there have been too many legends, not to mention those distant histories, let’s just say that tonight, so many superstars competed on the same field. It is unique in the history of the league.

The current coach of Real Madrid is Carlos Queiroz. Before that, he was the right-hand man of Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United, and then the coach of the Portuguese national youth team. He has cultivated a golden generation including Figo and Rui Costa. .

The Galaxy Battleship has not been in a particularly ideal state recently. After defeating Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 16, they drew with Zaragoza 1-1 at home in the twenty-eighth round of La Liga, and then lost in the Copa del Rey final. Lost to Zaragoza, leading to the collapse of the team's treble this season.

Not only that, Real Madrid played away to Athletic Bilbao in the twenty-ninth round of La Liga three days ago. They conceded two goals in a row before the end of the first half. Although Raul scored twice in the second half. The equaliser, but then conceded two more goals in a 2-4 away loss to Athletic Bilbao.

This is also the first time that Real Madrid has suffered a two-game losing streak this season.

However, before ushering in Ajax, Ronaldo, who was injured and missed many games, returned from injury, and Raul, who was injured against Athletic Bilbao, was not absent. Only left-back Robert Carlos accumulated yellow cards and was suspended.

In this game, Real Madrid still has a four-two-three formation. The goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Raul Bravo, Mejia, Elgra and Salgado, and the double midfielder It is Guti and Beckham, the three players in the front are Zidane, Raul and Figo, and the single forward is Ronaldo.

Galactic battleships gather superstars and are definitely the top and most luxurious super lineup in Europe.

Ajax still has a four-three-three formation, the goalkeeper is Robont, the defense is Maxwell, Escud, Heitinga and Trabelsi, and the midfield is still de Jong behind. , Van der Vaart and Sneijder are in the middle, and the front three are Pinar, Ibrahimovic and Victor Scola.

Both teams have studied their opponents in depth before the game, and Real Madrid, who are playing at home, have been in a maddening manner from the very beginning, and the two flanks have frequently created threats, especially the composition of Figo and Salgado. on the right.

In the absence of Robert Carlos on the left, the right has become the strongest attacking channel for Real Madrid.

Ajax is obviously mentally prepared for the difficulties that will be encountered in the game. The frontcourt looks like a trident. In fact, both Pinar and Scola have retreated deeper, more like a winger. This makes Real Madrid's wing attack seem to be very powerful, but it has never been able to create a threat.

The first threatening shot of the game was a counterattack from Ajax. Ibrahimovic grabbed the first spot in the penalty area and pushed the ball to Van der Vaart, who was inserted in the back row. The latter kicked the ball directly nine meters away from the goal.

But Real Madrid's right-back Salgado stubbornly used his body to block a shot and defused a crisis.

Afterwards, the Galaxy battleship quickly returned the color. Figo continuously changed direction on the right to get rid of the two defenders and then crossed the penalty area. He accurately sent the ball to Ronaldo's feet in the penalty area. The alien was five meters in front of the goal. Pushed an empty goal, but unfortunately, Ronaldo's shot rubbed the right post and went out of the bottom line.

Just one minute later, Zidane took the ball from the front of the penalty area and got rid of De Jong, then volleyed with his right foot and the ball hit the post.

Two consecutive attacks have created threats, and Real Madrid's offensive is terrifying.

But just when more than 70,000 fans in the audience were looking forward to seeing Real Madrid score, the situation suddenly reversed.

Pinar's cooperation with Van der Vaart on the left caused a foul by Beckham. The England midfielder received a yellow card, and he was destined to miss the second round due to accumulating a second yellow card. A chance for Ajax to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Van der Vaart personally took the set kick and hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Mejia, who was originally marking Heitinga, had a leak. Heitinga quickly jumped in and grabbed the spot. He headed the goal from close range. , opened the scoring for Ajax.

A sudden goal made everyone in Ajax go crazy.

Not to mention the coaching staff on the sidelines, even everyone on the bench cheered and celebrated.

One to zero, Ajax even led Real Madrid away.

The hero of the goal, Heitinga, rushed to the sidelines quickly, constantly celebrating and cheering his goal.

Ajax's players rushed to Heitinga's side, facing the fans, facing the camera, and celebrating unscrupulously.

There was a brief silence at the Bernabeu, a result that was clearly unacceptable to all Real Madrid fans.

It's true that their team has been underperforming recently, but not that bad, right?

The looming boos sounded from the stands, and it was unclear whether it was for the visiting team Ajax? Or to the home team Real Madrid.

…………

"Wow, great, 1-0, we have the initiative now."

"We must hold this score firmly, and we will be able to hold it."

"Don't worry, from the performance in the first half, Real Madrid's offense doesn't seem to be as sharp as rumored. Their main focus is on the right side. As long as they hold Figo's point, Real Madrid's offense will go half way. ."

"Ha, before the game, we were still worried about Real Madrid, but we didn't expect that Real Madrid was not as terrible as we imagined. As long as we continue this style of play in the first half, I believe we will still have a chance to score in the second half. ball."

"To beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu... wow, it's exciting to think about it."

...

In the locker room, Yang Yang sat in his seat, silently sorting out his things, listening to the excited words of his teammates, but he had a very unreal feeling.

For several days before the game, everyone in Ajax was under heavy pressure, and everyone was worried that they would lose horribly at the Bernabeu Stadium, but I didn’t expect that in the game tonight, Ajax was directly beaten. Confidence, especially the one-to-zero lead, made everyone burst with confidence.

It is not surprising to think about it. The Galaxy Battleship has been in a very bad state recently. It has lost three games, two consecutive losses, and successively lost the King's Cup final and La Liga. It should be in a low state.

At a time like this, Ajax certainly wouldn't mind getting down and taking another step.

But there is a saying that goes well, a hundred-footed worm is dead but not stiff, a thin dead camel is bigger than a horse, Real Madrid is full of superstars, and its overall strength is the best in European football. Now it is only one goal ahead. Of course, it is gratifying, but it is not exciting. a bit early?

When Yang Yang whispered his concerns to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was sitting next to him, the Swedish center laughed and put a hand on Yang Yang's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Yang Yang, I have competed against the two central defenders of Real Madrid. They are not strong, especially that Mejia. As long as our wing passes the ball to me, I will definitely score in the second half."

Having said that, Ibrahimovic winked at Yang Yang and said, "When the time comes, you won't need to be a gold substitute. We will take a victory away from the road and advance at home."

Seeing Zlatan Ibrahimovic's confident look, it was difficult for Yang Yang to say anything more.

The morale of the entire team is generally high now, leading Real Madrid at halftime, so everyone is looking forward to taking away the victory from the away game. If Yang Yang says more, he will inevitably raise the morale of others and destroy his own prestige.

But it is not only Yang Yang who has such worries. After returning to the locker room, the head coach Ronald Koeman saw that the expressions of all the players were obviously dark, and then he warned the players that they must pay attention.

"Real Madrid is full of superstars, and this is the Bernabeu. As long as we slack in the slightest, we may be dealt a fatal blow at any time by our opponents. Everyone must play 120,000 points. I have a hunch that Real Madrid will definitely fight back in the second half. , and a crazy counterattack."

The players agreed in unison, but everyone's faces were still filled with an emotion called excitement.

The first half went too smoothly, and Real Madrid did not perform as well as it should, which surprised the Ajax players who were under great pressure before the game, and also added some things that they had not dared to think about before. thing.

Before coming to the Bernabeu, the team wanted to keep a draw, but now, they want to win.

Is it really that easy?

…………

…………

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Real Madrid, as Ronald Koeman said, aggressively pressed the attack.

There were still many fans booing in dissatisfaction in the stands, but the superstars in the stadium were obviously more active than in the first half.

Ajax had not grasped the rhythm after the opening, and was hit by Real Madrid's offensive at halftime and firmly suppressed.

Only three minutes into the game, Real Madrid's right back Salgado jumped in quickly, and after receiving Figo's goal, he was about to break through from the sideline. He was tripped by Pinar, who was returning to defense, and the South African player got a yellow card. And gave Real Madrid a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Beckham took the free kick and quickly drove to the back of the penalty area, accurately finding Raul who ran out of the space. As a result, the Real Madrid captain's header was slightly higher than the crossbar.

But soon, Beckham took another corner kick, creating a chaos in the Ajax penalty area. Among the crowd, Elgra calmly seized the opportunity and volleyed the ball directly, hitting the grass on the grass. The rebound hit the goal.

The referee Mikel from Slovakia blew the clear whistle that the goal was effective.

Ajax's hard-earned goal in the first half was equalized in less than five minutes in the second half.
