At 18:30 in the afternoon, the hot temperature in Madrid has begun to slowly drop.
There were white and slightly gray clouds drifting over from the horizon, just covering the Bernabeu Stadium, as if God had set up a parasol in the sky to watch this game.
There is still half an hour before the game starts.
The Bernabeu Stadium was overcrowded, and the huge noise covered the entire stadium. The Bernabeu was like a honeycomb magnified countless times. Fans held up portraits of Beckham and Ronaldo, 'Legend', 'We All Love You', 'Twilight of the Idol', 'Can't Live Without You', 'Ronnie, You're Everything', 'World's No. 1' and more The huge slogan is like a sail in the huge waves, fluttering excitedly in the crowd...
Both Beckham and Ronaldo have played for Real Madrid, so they have huge appeal and popularity here. With fans from as far away as England, Brazil, China and other countries and regions, the atmosphere of the entire scene is like a Just like the dazzling rock star solo concert at the end of the century, it is ecstatic, and you are invisibly attracted by such an atmosphere, and you fall into hysterical madness!
On the two large electronic screens above the stadium, classic shots of Ronaldo and Beckham in their careers are being played respectively.
Modern imaging technology reproduces the exciting scenes that have been lost in the long river of time——
Ronaldo's emaciation and rabbit teeth when he was just starting out, and his proud style wearing the uniforms of Cruzeiro, PSV, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Corinthians and the Brazilian national team are like stepping back in time. Likewise, each scene was displayed in detail in front of the fans at the scene. The goals scored by Fatty in his career kept appearing in front of the fans, touching the distant memories and lifting the dust of the years. Some middle-aged people in the stands burst into tears unknowingly. At this moment, they Together with Ronaldo, he became young again.
On another big screen, Beckham also had a super review of his career: photos of him excitedly signing a contract with Ferguson when he was 14 years old, pictures of him wearing the Red Devils jersey No. 24 as a right back, and his loan period. The scene where he scored from a free kick on his debut in a Preston jersey, the scene when he scored the Red Devils' first goal against Aston in the Premier League, and the goal against Wimbledon that made the world know and recognize him. The shocking midfielder who remembered the name 'Beckham', the two corner kick assists when Bayern Munich reversed the Champions League final, the red card in England's World Cup that made him the sinner of all England, the last game against Greece A direct free kick that always changes him from a 'man' to a 'god' in the eyes of England fans...
Beckham fans all over the world couldn't help but shed tears at this time. The memories are still so beautiful, but the person who created beautiful memories for them is leaving...
The Bernabeu was like a World Cup final, the atmosphere was frenetic.
…
Visiting team locker room.
If we go back five years, the lineup here will definitely be considered star-studded and shocking, with Roberto Carlos, Zidane, Cantona, Sheringham, Romario, Gary Neville, Rivaldo...
'Head coach' Ferguson smiled and chatted with the 'players'. Everyone was relaxed and leisurely put on the team uniforms specially designed for this game. This was just a friendly match, like reuniting with old friends. The change of the green field is something truly worth cherishing.
There is no doubt that Beckham and Ronaldo are the focus of today.
The fat man still smiled shamelessly, taking selfies with each of his old friends arm-in-arm. He wanted to upload these precious photos to his 'Twitter' and share them with fans all over the world. This might be the last time!
Beckham smiled and communicated with his old Manchester United teammates, and finally he came to Ferguson: "Nice to see you here, sir!"
This was almost the first time the two had such an intimate public conversation after Beckham left the Red Devils and Manchester United. Gary Neville and others left knowingly. Ferguson was interviewed about Beckham's retirement not long ago. Having released their goodwill, this time is obviously the perfect time for reconciliation between two people who were once as close as father and son...
Among the crowd, Giggs' expression was quite complicated.
Back then, he and Beckham were good friends who talked about everything. Because Victoria and Giggs changed their girlfriends, their friendship cooled down. Over the years, their youth and frivolity have long passed away, and they have regained their old friendship. For the two teammates, It may not be an attractive option, which is why Giggs unexpectedly participated in this farewell game.
…
In comparison, the atmosphere in the home team's locker room was not so relaxed.
The expressions on the faces of the Real Madrid players were solemn.
For the hometown guys in the opposite locker room, this farewell game was just a tourist trip, but for them, if they also had this attitude, they could just write a "..." on their faces. 'Dead' is the word.
Newly formed team, new teammates, new coach, new tactics...
After the end of last season, everything in Real Madrid became confusing. This mystery did not become clear with the arrival of Crazy Li. On the contrary, it became more difficult to deal with.
Everyone knows what kind of guy Crazy Li is. Even if he kicks away all the original superstars of the team and brings in an unknown youth army, he can create a miracle.
Unlike many other coaches who rely on star players to achieve results, Crazy Lee himself is the guarantee of results, so as long as he is willing, it is not impossible to depose the team's number one core C-Ronaldo.
What's more, Madman Li spent 200 million euros on signings as soon as he arrived?
When new people come, don’t the old people have to give way? Although before this, the head coach Crazy Li did not communicate too much with them because of the time interval between the team gatherings, but everyone understood that the big purge and big signings that had just ended had already made it clear that Real Madrid His tactical system must be completely overturned, and what kind of position he has in Crazy Li's new tactical system may be more or less obvious from this game.
Everyone is waiting for the head coach to announce the starting lineup.
The most nervous one is Kaka.
The two-year slump has almost completely obliterated the Brazilian superstar's past peerless style. Kaká, who relied on one shot to defeat Red Devils Manchester United on a rainy night and brought AC Milan to the top of Europe, is about to disappear.
The arrival of Crazy Li is Kaka's last chance in desperate situation.
If he cannot gain the trust of Crazy Li and get a stable position in the following season, then Kaká’s three-year career in Real Madrid will be labeled as failure and shame, and will become synonymous with parallel imports in La Liga football and become a symbol of football. The biggest joke in history.
For Kaka, besides God, there is Crazy Lee.
He must cherish this opportunity.
Cherish it closely.

"...The game is about to begin. No matter who it is, this game is a rare enjoyment. We welcome friends of David Beckham and Ronaldo with applause!"
The passionate sound of the live DJ at the Bernabeu Stadium echoed in the stands in all directions.
The stadium stands suddenly burst into excitement.
The fans chanted the names of Beckham and Ronaldo, wildly shook the portraits and temperaments in their hands, and screamed hysterically: "You are the only one! You are the only one!! You are the only one forever!!"
Beckham and Ronaldo smiled and took the lead to walk out of the player tunnel, receiving cheers from the fans. On the court, Real Madrid Chairman Perez Florentino and the staff held special gifts. The trophy, awarded to both men in the name of Real Madrid Club…
The cheers in the sky are like applause from all over the world.
In the green world, in the center of the stadium, two people enjoy this eternal glory.
After a full 30 seconds of roaring noise, other players walked out of the tunnel. Li Tongfan and Ferguson finally walked out. Ferguson stretched out his hand: "Li, will you let me win today?" He scratched the back of his head with a seemingly honest hand, smiled, and said, "This... you have to ask them."
Lao Li pointed to the Real Madrid players who were playing.
Ferguson looked at Cantona with his beer belly in astonishment, at Zidane who was slightly fatter, at Sheringham who was in his forties, and at the murderous and imposing Real Madrid players, and gave a wry smile. , punched Lao Li bitterly, and said: "You are such a stingy guy!"
The two laughed, hugged each other, and returned to their respective seating areas.
This was one of the many times that the two famous coaches in the finals, Lao Li and Ferguson, clashed on the sidelines. The two were the least explosive and the atmosphere was the most friendly. From this hug, everyone felt the flavor of sympathy for each other.
Soon, the players on the field returned to their respective positions and jumped around to warm up.
Real Madrid legend Stefano, supported by his assistant, walked tremblingly towards the center circle of the stadium - he will kick off this world-famous friendly farewell match.
At this time, the stands were filled with cheers.
Fans don't have to worry about the outcome of the game. They open their hearts to enjoy the game and enjoy the alternative spiritual shock brought by football.
"...The game is about to start. Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides."
“… [Ronaldo & Beckham Friends Team], Ferguson arranged a 4-4-2 formation, Ronaldo and Shelingham partnered up in the front line, Zidane, Cantona, Rivaldo, Beckham appeared in the midfield, Roberto Carlos, Stam, Ferdinand and Gary Neville sat in the back line, goalkeeper Schmeichel… Oh, God, such a lineup, if placed five years ago, would be enough to set off a terrifying tsunami in the world football, but today seeing so many superstars standing together is definitely enough to make fans all over the world crazy!”
“Look at Real Madrid, I think more people are concerned about this aspect of the news…”
“[Little Smoker] Higuain, [Angel] Gigi and C-Ronaldo partnered up in the front line, German star Ozil played as the attacking midfielder, Alonso and Juan-Mata stood behind Ozil, Dortmund's twin stars Subotic and Hummels partnered as central defenders, and the double L combination of Lahm and Ramos was separated on both sides! "
"Among the new players, Lahm, Gigi and the Dortmund twin stars got the chance to start, while [Lightning Killer] Michael Owen and Fabregas were on the bench. Does this mean that Crazy Lee has not found a way to use Fabregas? "
"The 4-3-3 formation is full of impact, not the 4-4-2 we expected!"
Amid the commentators' introductions, the game was finally about to begin.
Force——!
The former Italian bald whistle Collina, who has retired and become the chairman of the World Referee Committee, served as the referee of this game. He held the silver whistle in his mouth, raised one arm high, and blew the whistle vigorously.
Real Madrid took the lead.
C-Ronaldo passed the ball to his partner Higuain.
The players on the field of Real Madrid launched a fierce offensive. They did not give the seniors on the opposite side any face. [Ronaldo & Beckham Friends Team] Due to the hasty formation and the lack of tactical preparation time, they lost the ball at the beginning of the game-
Real Madrid played a smooth cooperation in the frontcourt.
Although it was not gorgeous or mercury pouring down, it was enough to tear apart the defensive system organized by these "old men". C-Ronaldo and Juan-Mata passed the ball to Ozil in succession, and finally passed it to Ozil. Ozil passed the ball straight, and Higuain successfully countered the offside and raised his foot to shoot near the penalty spot in the small penalty area. Schmeichel, who had gained weight, was helpless...
The ball went in.
What sounded in the stands was not boos and cheers, but laughter. The fans were amused by the clumsy movements of those former superstars, and they enjoyed this joyful scene to their heart's content!
The team that lost the ball didn't care, and the atmosphere on the field was more friendly than ever before.
The game started again.
Less than 6 minutes later, Real Madrid scored again. Juan Marta bullied Schmeichel's gravity to a much greater degree than before, and made a lob shot outside the penalty area, breaking the goal of the former Red Devils legendary goalkeeper...
2:0!
Schmeichel smiled helplessly and shook his head.
It seems that [Ronaldo & Beckham Friends Team] suffered an unprecedented defeat...
