Rooney is an offensive player. He is very clear about the team's defensive pressure, but he can't help it.

Long before the game, Ye Su told him that everyone else in the team could return to defense, but he couldn't. Because he was the most threatening person on the team. Staying in front would allow Real Madrid to feel the threat of counterattack, but if he retreated, Real Madrid could attack unscrupulously.

Rooney can clearly see the loopholes in the opponent's defense, but the problem now is that Manchester United can't get the ball. Without the ball, even if the opponent puts the goal in front of you, it will be in vain.

Real Madrid did perform very well in the first half and had a lot of control. Even Rooney himself felt that it would be a matter of time before he continued to play like this.

Even if Manchester United hadn't had good enough defense, the current score would have been no 0:0.

"It won't work if you continue to kick like this!" Rooney thought with a frown.

As the team captain and offensive player, what he should consider the most is how to score goals.

Real Madrid has too many gaps in left defense, Marcelo's defensive ability is insufficient, and Kroos and Modric are more involved in offense, and at most there is only one Ramos. As long as you get the ball at the right time, Rooney is sure to cause some trouble for the opponent, or even score a goal!

But the question now is, how to get the ball?

……………………

"When pressing, try to pass the ball to Marcelo as much as possible." Taking advantage of a breather, Rooney summoned Harry Cain, Valdy, De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandez to express his thoughts to his teammates.

Bruno Fernandez's eyes lit up and he asked, "Captain, are you going to find a breakthrough from Marcelo?"

Rooney nodded and said meaningfully: "This Brazilian is quite sticky."

In fact, this is not surprising at all. Isn’t it normal for Brazilian players, especially offensive Brazilian side players to stick to the ball?

Although Marcelo has always been Real Madrid's defender, the most commendable thing in world football has never been his help to Real Madrid on the defensive end, but his threat to his opponents on the offensive end.

Brazil's left-back's contribution on the offensive end has made him deeply loved by his forward teammates, including Real Madrid's No. 1 star C Ronaldo. Many Real Madrid fans even affectionately called him the team favorite of the Galaxy Battleship.

Rooney has been paying attention to Marcelo's problems since the preparations. After the game, he has been observing the Brazilian's condition and performance. He thinks that this aspect can still be tried.

He is now the team captain, and his teammates in the locker room are convinced by him. After hearing his words, they all nodded.

"Okay, we get it."

"I will try to push their ball path to the left."

...

Every player's pass is in a sector. As long as he presses one side properly when pressing, the opponent will often habitually pass the ball to the other side. Therefore, as long as everyone has a unified mindset, he can push the ball to the left side.

Rooney nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, as long as the ball reaches Marcelo's feet and the time is right, I will definitely be able to grab it."

Although Rooney is most talked about in the past two or three years, in fact, his large-scale active running and frontcourt pressing are also his specialty.

Nowadays, Ronaldo is praised for his strong physique and ability to stagnate the air. Messi is a football player because of his breakthrough ability beyond humanity. Rooney is the one with the most balanced comprehensive abilities. He can be regarded as a true all-round player.

……………………

With Manchester United retreating, Real Madrid began to control the situation on the court. As the team's fullback, Marcelo also began to undertake some tasks of participating in the organization and offense.

According to the coaching team's arrangement before the game, after he pressed, Ramos would appropriately move the position to the left, and the midfielder Cross would occasionally shrink into the penalty area, becoming a formation similar to a three-back.

As for the original right-back Lucas Vasquez, this guy is a winger, how could he expect him to stay on the defensive end?

As the team controlled the rhythm and ball rights, Marcelo began to get more opportunities to get the ball on the left.

After Manchester United intercepted the ball in the backcourt, they quickly launched a counterattack. Maguire made a long pass and sent the ball directly to Real Madrid's half, forcing Modric to chase all the way and passed the ball back to goalkeeper Navas. After Navas stopped the ball with his feet, he turned around and passed it to Ramos, and then passed it to Marcelo.

Before Rooney had time to grab the first shot, he simply stopped going forward and asked Marcelo to drive the ball forward.

……………………

As expected, the Brazilian player dribbled the ball forward as before, and with Rooney's interference, he passed it to Kroos.

Cross passed it to Vasquez, and then to Modric near the center line, but there was still no chance and passed it back to Marcelo.

But this time, Marcelo had not even stopped the ball, and Rooney, who had already planned it, had already rushed to him.

what to do?

Marcelo had no choice but to care about anything else. He couldn't consider whether Rooney had planned it. His only idea was how to protect the ball and how to get rid of Rooney.

Rooney obviously expected that he would think so. When he received the ball, he got close to him and squeezed him with his body.

When Marcelo played football, he was not good at physical fitness. He was mainly due to his foot skills and passing. He was also very good at speed when he was young, but now he is not young.

Although Rooney is two years older than Marcelo, he has been playing in the Premier League, which has been paying attention to physical confrontation for a long time, and his physical fitness is better than Marcelo. When he squeezed close, Marcelo staggered immediately. It was this time that Rooney decisively stepped out and broke the ball.

……………………

As soon as Rooney intercepted the ball, he immediately rushed straight behind Marcelo at the fastest speed.

At this time, a burst of exclamations broke out at the Bernabeu Stadium. Modric, nearby rushed over immediately, but as soon as Rooney accelerated, he immediately caught up with the ball and took a big step forward.

"Manchester United suddenly intercepted the ball in the frontcourt. Rooney dribbled the ball and sprinted very quickly!"

"This sudden interception hit Real Madrid off guard."

Cross is not far from Marcelo. He knows very well that this is the critical moment when Real Madrid turns from defense to offense. Rooney suddenly interrupts the ball and makes a counterattack. Real Madrid's defense will definitely have a loophole, especially on the left.

When Cross saw Rooney stride and dribbling the ball, he realized that it was an opportunity and decided to snatch it.

Rooney has always had a good vision and overall view. He has long predicted the reactions of Real Madrid players. Modric and Marcelo have been left behind by him. As long as he does not slow down, they will not be able to catch up. As long as he passes Cross, he can directly hit the goal. Therefore, Rooney deliberately goes bigger and lures the opponent out.

As soon as Cross stepped up, Rooney immediately accelerated again. The German midfielder obviously did not expect that Rooney had not done her best just now, and was shocked and decisively made a shovel. But Rooney took the lead and poked the ball, which passed by Cross's foot. Rooney himself continued to chase the ball. The German sat down on the turf and looked at Rooney who was away in despair.

……………………

"The beautiful man scored the ball! Rooney dribbled the ball and broke through Real Madrid's defense!"

The entire Bernabeu stadium was exclaimed.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas had already moved his position to the left when Rooney intercepted the ball, staring at him as if he was facing a big enemy. After seeing Cross grabbing, he was scored by Rooney's man, and was passed in the blink of an eye.

Navas was shocked and saw the ball rolling into the penalty area. Rooney was still chasing him. He had no other choice. He immediately abandoned the goal and rushed forward, spread his arms and rushed towards the ball.

Although he was trying, Navas did not lose his calm at all and was still observing Rooney's movements. He would definitely not be able to catch up with Rooney, but after he abandoned the goal, he could use his body to block Rooney's shooting angle. But the premise is that he had to judge what action Rooney was going to take.

Rooney didn't have enough time to be there because he only had one chance.

This Real Madrid team has been in shape for many years. The players are not only strong, but also have a close response to each other. From intercepting the ball to passing Cross by the man to the penalty area, Ramos and Varane have returned to the penalty area, and he has no choice.

So, just before catching up with the ball, Rooney made a move that he wanted to spike the ball. He firmly believed that Navas must be clear about his shooting ability, so he spiked the ball with his right foot and shot directly with his left foot, which must be within Navas' alert range.

……………………

As expected, Rooney made a move to spike the ball, Navas immediately responded, and his body's center of gravity began to tilt. The initiative was in Rooney's hands, and if he didn't prepare in advance, he could not stop it.

However, Rooney deliberately paused, and when Navas began to shift the center of gravity, he pushed his right foot directly. The football slid past Navas' left side, and the speed was very fast, so fast that when the goalkeeper of Costaniga reacted, he wanted to take action to block it, but it was too late.

After the football slid past Navas, it almost wiped the post in a straight line and crashed into the goal of Real Madrid.

At this time, Ramos, who was in the position of defense and wanted to prevent the ball from entering the net, slipped into the goal, but it was useless.

“GOOOOOAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”

"In the 27th minute, Manchester United scored first! A key goal from Rooney!"

The entire Bernabeu stadium was boiling. Manchester United fans, who had the least number of people, burst into the warmest cheers and cheers in the audience.

Rooney was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium, rushed all the way to the stands where Manchester United fans were, slid on the grass, and raised his arms high.

"Rooney made a contribution! Marcelo made an error that should not have been made. After he was intercepted by Rooney, the Manchester United captain drove the ball straight into the field, as if he was in a no-man state, especially when he scored a wonderful man-goal and passed Cross."

"The whole goal process was very fast, which could be said to be a very surprising thing. But this is Manchester United's quick counterattack, they are always so fast!"

"Real Madrid's defense has problems again, and Zidane should be responsible for his choice again. Although the loss of a big score at Old Trafford in the first leg made Real Madrid passive. However, in this game, Zidane's choice is still problematic."

……………………

Rooney celebrated with his teammates on the sidelines, but at the same time he did not forget to remind his teammates: "Don't be careless, don't be careless, continue to stabilize the defense, keep focused, and strive to keep this score in the first half!"

Rooney's shouts also represent the voice of Manchester United players, but the Real Madrid player opposite was completely angered!

In this game, the total score of two rounds was rewritten to 2:6, and Real Madrid was truly forced into a desperate situation!

In the subsequent games, Real Madrid obviously played more aggressively and had greater threats to offense.

Just four minutes after Rooney scored, Real Madrid made a very threatening attack. Modric made a straight pass from the middle, and Marcelo, who had just made a fatal mistake, made up for the result. After getting the ball, he rubbed a wonderful pass with his right instep on the left side of the penalty area. Benzema headed the ball from close range in the small penalty area in the middle to equalize the score for Real Madrid.

This goal completely ignited Real Madrid's offensive passion, and all the fans at the Bernabeu Stadium cheered wildly.

In the 44th minute, it was another pass from Modric. Ronaldo broke into the left side of the penalty area again. When facing Maguire's defense, the Portuguese striker suddenly fell to the ground. Maguire angrily accused the Portuguese of fake falls.

Although the referee finally signaled the game to continue, the Portuguese did not punish him for a fake fall. Judging from the slow-motion replay of the game, Ronaldo is indeed suspected of a fake fall.

But just one minute later, Modric and Ronaldo cooperated continuously on the left, assisted Benzema to push the ball with his right foot, once again breaking Manchester United's goal and reversed the score.

Benzema, who scored twice, rushed out of the court excitedly, stretched out his hand and pointed his hand into the air along the way, muttering something in his mouth.

2:1!

Real Madrid scored two goals in just ten minutes. The entire Bernabeu stadium was cheering and celebrating wildly.

If Real Madrid firmly controlled the situation on the field in the first twenty minutes but never broke through Manchester United's goal, then in the last ten minutes, the Galaxy Battleships were like beasts showing their minions. They almost firmly controlled the first half of the game and did not leave much opportunity for Manchester United.

At the same time, everyone has to admit that Real Madrid's left side is indeed full of attack power.

Both goals were all planned on the left, completely knocking Manchester United out of the right.

With control of the ball and rhythm on the court, Real Madrid can continuously plan more and more threatening offensives.
Chapter completed!
