Chapter 277 Away Game Against Real Madrid

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, one of the most prestigious stadiums in the world.

This stadium is famous for their home team, Real Madrid.

Today, Real Madrid's lineup, from head to toe, is full of top players in all positions, and coach Zidane's strategic planning has brought the team to an unprecedented height.

The three consecutive Champions League titles have made this team full of honors.

Facing such a team in the first round of knockouts is not a good thing for Chelsea.

But then again, at least this season Real Madrid lived up to the glory of the three consecutive Champions League titles, otherwise it would not have ended up as the second in the group and collided with the Blues in advance.

This season, Chelsea continued the state of "killing anyone who stands in the way, killing anyone who stands in the way" last season. The league was crushing, and the Champions League was full of firepower. Facing such an opponent, Real Madrid's promotion prospects are not optimistic.

Of course, in the Bernabéu, the home of Real Madrid, there must be a dragon's den and a tiger's den.

The Bernabéu Stadium has the best team in the world and the most discerning fans in the world.

They can generously stand up and applaud the core players of their mortal enemies.

They can also be picky about the performance of their own home team's ace players.

Angels and demons coexist, which is the best portrayal of Bernabeu fans.

Unlike the devilish atmosphere created by Dortmund, it is relatively more "lazy" and casual here.

In this game, Zidane sent out the team's strongest lineup, with Benzema, Hazard, Vinicius on the front line, Modric, Toni Kroos, Casemiro in the midfield, Varane, Ramos, Carvajal, Mendy on the back line.

As for the goalkeeper position, it is an old man familiar to Chelsea fans, Belgian Courtois.

For Courtois, Chelsea gave up De Bruyne, but this white-eyed wolf finally threw himself into the arms of Real Madrid without hesitation.

Moreover, Chelsea's former top player Hazard joined Real Madrid, but it was Courtois's credit.

For him, I'm afraid Chelsea fans only hate him!

Before the game, he left a message on Wang Po's social media, hoping that their new core can go all out and give the Belgians a head-on blow.

Of course, this Belgian has a bit of a double meaning, after all, Chelsea fans have complicated feelings about Hazard.

The re-confrontation between the new and old cores is indeed a highlight.

For the newcomer Wang Po and the old man Hazard, there is an invisible contest.

Before the game, in the player's tunnel, Hazard's peripheral vision would occasionally glance at Wang Po, with a hostile look in his eyes.

Blue No. 10 vs. White No. 7, the two cores are undoubtedly top-level players, and such a confrontation is destined to be exciting.

Walking into the Bernabeu Stadium, Wang Po found that Real Madrid fans had put up such a slogan on one side of the stands.

"Wang Po, Real Madrid is looking forward to your joining."

Although it was an unofficial "seduction", it was enough to show Wang Po's current appeal and attention, which made Real Madrid's current No. 7 Hazard very embarrassed, his face was livid, and the fighting spirit in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Beep~!"

The referee blew the whistle and the game began.

Real Madrid, playing at home, was very active at the beginning. The powerful ceremonial midfielder, Toni Kroos, Seymiro, and Modric firmly controlled the ball at their feet.

Of course, with Chelsea's defensive ability and personnel configuration, they are not worried about such a situation.

After all, the combination of personnel and tactics on the defense line has already made this team one of the best defensive teams in the world.

The defense line with both system and personal ability can withstand the tide of attack from Real Madrid.

After all, after Cristiano Ronaldo left for Juventus in Turin, Real Madrid's forward line has long been inferior to the past. Even if they spent a lot of money to dig out the former Chelsea core, Hazard, who is known as the "World Health Third", as a substitute, they are still unable to change the constipation of the offensive line.

Today, Real Madrid is nicknamed "Reed Madrid" by fans, and has ushered in an era of reverse driving. The reason is that when the team needs goals the most, defenders and midfielders, who are defined as players who are more defensive than offensive, will stand up to help the team score goals.

And, to be honest, Hazard's performance last season was not satisfactory. Not only did he not live up to his high price and the expectations of all Real Madrid fans, but more importantly, he did not even play to his average level and spent most of the time lying in bed.

Not only ask, is the title of "World Health Third" poisonous?

After all, there is another player in Real Madrid who was known as the "World Health Third" in his peak period, Bale.

This season, Hazard, who returned from injury, tried to prove himself again.

In the match against his old club Chelsea, he kept interspersing and running, looking for loopholes in the defense.

For Chelsea players, Hazard is undoubtedly the most familiar stranger. They already know the former core's habit of taking the ball and the way of breaking through. In addition, before the game, German Tuchel specially formulated tactics against this core player. Therefore, although Hazard performed very hard, to be honest, all the lethal attacks of Real Madrid ultimately rely on Modric's penetration, Kroos's dispatching and transfer, and Casemiro's back row insertion.

Of course, these so-called threatening attacks are just a small test for goalkeeper Kepa, and there is still a certain gap from prying open Chelsea's goal.

The most threatening attack in the first half came from Chelsea led by Wang Po.

Mount's passing like a butterfly showed his talent as the prince of Chelsea, and handed the ball to Wang Po in the frontcourt. Suddenly, the defense line of Real Madrid began to feel the pressure.

Facing Werner's pass from the right, Wang Po cleverly passed it to center forward Giroud with his left foot. After a season of running-in, Wang Po had already established a tacit understanding with the French center forward. Therefore, after passing the ball, Chelsea No. 10 chose to run to receive it.

Giroud chose a very hidden back heel pass, which immediately tore through the defense of Real Madrid.

Wang Po got the ball in the penalty area and got an excellent shooting opportunity.

At this time, Real Madrid captain Ramos stood up. Although it seemed a little too late to make up for the position, he still used his strong body to put as much pressure on the ball holder as possible.

However, the Spanish defender still underestimated Wang Po's core strength and caused almost no interference to him. He shot from close range, and Courtois was unable to stop it.
