Real Madrid not only had the advantage in score, but also had a great advantage on the field.

Not to mention Real Madrid's sharp attack from the left side, just Real Madrid's defensive tactics of high pressure throughout the game is more attractive than Liverpool's defense of retreating to the half court.

It can be said that Real Madrid took the initiative in the first 30 minutes of the first half.

The goals scored by Kaka and Ronaldo were also very shocking and morale-boosting.

Playing against a pragmatic team like Real Madrid, it is almost impossible to wear down Real Madrid and exhaust their energy, and it is also difficult to seize Real Madrid's mistakes and turn the tables, because the probability of Real Madrid making mistakes is very small.

Now, if Liverpool wants to make a comeback, someone must step up.

In the past, this person must have been Liverpool captain Gerrard, but now it is difficult for Gerrard to take up the banner of Liverpool's counterattack.

Fortunately, Liverpool has a new red flag - Gu Ran.

In the 36th minute of the game, Gu Ran deliberately left a gap, and Ozil cleverly penetrated and got the ball. When Ozil was about to go into the Liverpool penalty area, Gerrard rushed up first and positioned himself accurately, blocking Ozil's shooting route. Without waiting for Ozil to pass the ball sideways, Gu Ran burst out at full speed, rushed from the side and rear of Ozil, and kicked the ball away from Ozil's feet!

Ozil lost the ball!

Ozil quickly counterattacked and grabbed Gu Ran's jersey.

Gu Ran threw an elbow at Ozil and at the same time got rid of Ozil's entanglement.

Real Madrid's midfielders immediately double-teamed Gu Ran, but Gu Ran was extremely fast. While running wildly, he seized the opportunity and kicked the ball quickly, passing it to Coutinho who was supporting on the left flank.

Coutinho immediately accelerated his dribbling! Modric pressed Coutinho forward, but this time Coutinho was well prepared, and with a beautiful fried meatball, he poked the ball through Modric's crotch! The ball and the player passed!

Modric was pierced by Coutinho!

Modric turned quickly, but Coutinho was even faster! After Coutinho passed through the opponent's crotch, he immediately attracted at least three Real Madrid players to chase and steal the ball. Coutinho tilted his head to glance at Gu Ran, who had already run to the middle at full speed!

Coutinho immediately made a cross pass!

Gu Ran suddenly stopped before he stretched out his foot to stop the ball, and the ball slipped under his feet! Suarez on the other side was unguarded and easily received Coutinho's long-distance cross pass! Suarez immediately dribbled the ball into the penalty area! The Real Madrid players who had been chasing Gu Ran were all stunned by the exquisite cooperation between Gu Ran, Coutinho and Suarez! After Gu Ran missed the ball, he stopped and stood outside the penalty area. The Real Madrid players quickly gave up watching Gu Ran and frantically chased and intercepted Suarez.

I have to say that Real Madrid's defense is really solid.

Pepe and Carvalho are the central defenders, Ramos and Marcelo are on both sides, Modric and Essien are chasing, and Casillas is on the goal line with flashes of holy light.

Although Suarez had the advantage, this opportunity was fleeting. When Suarez dribbled into the penalty area, he was surrounded and had no chance to shoot.

Suarez did not force his attack, but cleverly protected the ball with his back to the goal. Then he saw an opportunity and passed the ball back outside the penalty area, which went over the heads of Essien and Modric.

Modric quickly jumped up and headed the ball, but the ball was passed back too suddenly and Modric couldn't reach it at all.

Gu Ran, who was just standing and walking outside the penalty area, suddenly broke out and started. He took a run-up and jumped, with his feet more than two meters off the ground. He did a scissors kick in the air and a sideways hook shot!

The football was like an electromagnetically powered cannonball, hitting the Real Madrid goal! The entire Real Madrid defense was stunned by Suarez's back pass and Gu Ran's sudden sideways hook. Even if they were not stunned, they would have no way to deal with it!

Casillas made a reflex save, but Gu Ran's sideways hook shot was too sudden. Compared with Ronaldo's previous hook shot, Gu Ran's sideways hook shot was too much in terms of the degree of body opening, the elegance of the movement, the shooting angle, the shooting force, and the shooting accuracy! Casillas stretched his body with all his strength, and only his fingertips slightly touched the ball, but that was all!

The football did not change its course, but instead shot heavily into the upper left corner of the goal!

The ball went in! In the 38th minute of the game! Liverpool scored a very beautiful overhead kick goal with the exquisite cooperation of Coutinho, Suarez and Gu Ran!

This overhead kick was undoubtedly a response to Ronaldo's overhead kick! The Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu were stunned! They were also discerning fans who knew the brilliance of this goal.

Some Real Madrid fans couldn't help but applaud Gu Ran for his wonderful performance.

The Liverpool fans who came from afar were also excited! Gu Ran's goal was not only beautiful, but also very valuable! The score of 2:1 also restored the Liverpool fans' confidence in the situation!

Liverpool players surrounded Gu Ran to celebrate.

Mourinho, who was standing in the technical area on the sidelines, waved his arms excitedly!

Although Mourinho was sacked early from Real Madrid and he no longer has superstars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, having Gu Ran, a world superstar, is enough!

This goal of Liverpool is in line with Mourinho's tactical spirit! Gu Ran retreated very deep, used the method of center forward and defensive midfielder, successfully intercepted the ball with Gerrard, and then quickly launched a counterattack, with Coutinho delivering the ball, Suarez assisting, and then Gu Ran made the final move! This is exactly the core concept of Mourinho's coaching of Liverpool!

The fact that they were able to display such a clear tactical concept in the match against Real Madrid is enough to show that Liverpool's offensive mode has been almost perfected!

Mourinho was not only happy about this goal, he was also happy that Liverpool's offensive model had finally taken shape after dozens of runs! On the big screen at the Bernabeu Stadium, Gu Ran's wonderful overhead kick was played repeatedly without hesitation.

At the same time, the main camera also gave Ronaldo several close-ups of his face.

Ronaldo smiled, his eyes full of excitement of meeting a worthy rival.

This is what truly strong players are like. They never worry about how strong their opponents are. They only worry that their opponents are not strong enough and that the game is not exciting enough.

The game continues.

The hand-to-hand combat between the two sides has reached a fever pitch.

Ozil had no chance to get the ball in the midfield. As long as Ozil got the ball, Gu Ran would chase him back and rush over without hesitation.

Ozil was always knocked to the ground by collisions, and his body was covered in bruises under his jersey.

Ozil was almost crying. Every time he got up from the grass, he looked aggrieved and limped.

In the 44th minute of the game, Modric made a precise long pass to Ronaldo.

Ronaldo then dribbled the ball inside. Van Dijk and Henderson were completely unable to limit Ronaldo's breakthrough. Just as Ronaldo was about to create an opening and shoot directly, Gu Ran sprinted over from the side and behind, and with a death sliding tackle, he tackled the ball in front of Ronaldo and sent it out of the sideline.

C Ronaldo was also tripped to the ground by Gu Ran.

C Ronaldo stood up, smiled helplessly, and patted Gu Ran on the shoulder to show his friendliness.

After Gu Ran stood up, he patted Ronaldo's butt as a friendly gesture.

Real Madrid got a throw-in.

Marcelo quickly sent the ball out of bounds, Modric headed it, and Benzema volleyed it hard in the chaos! Unfortunately, the ball was too straight and was caught by Reina with both hands.

But this is not a problem for Mourinho at all. No matter how ugly the scene is, Mourinho doesn't care. Mourinho only cares about winning or losing.

In the injury time of the first half, Liverpool also had a good counterattack opportunity, but unfortunately there was a small mistake in the cooperation between Suarez and Lallana, which directly led to Casillas easily confiscating the ball.

With a long whistle, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game, and the score temporarily stood at Real Madrid 2:1 Liverpool.

The players from both teams left the field and returned to their respective locker rooms to rest.

On the way back to the locker room, Ronaldo deliberately walked side by side with Gu Ran, "Hey, Gu, you performed really well today! I am very happy to play football with you."

Gu Ran also smiled and said, "Chris, you are great too. I have learned a lot from playing with you. My improvement is visible to the naked eye!"

C Ronaldo laughed heartily and said: "Haha! Don't forget, no matter what the result of this game is, we must have dinner together tonight."

"no problem!"

The two men shook hands.

At this time, Ozil, who was covered in pain, limped over and said, "Hey, Gu, I want to ask, are you targeting me on purpose?"

Gu Ran smiled coldly, "Do I have it? No."

Ozil said angrily: "I'm almost injured by you."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "I haven't used my full strength yet. I will use my full strength in the second half. You should be prepared."

After saying that, Gu Ran greeted Ronaldo and then quickly walked towards the visiting team's locker room.

Ozil stared at Gu Ran's back in amazement, his heart in turmoil.

During the 15-minute break at halftime, players from both sides tried their best to recover from fatigue.

Real Madrid players smeared special snuff paste on their jerseys. When they were physically or mentally exhausted, they could just grab the jerseys and take a few sniffs to quickly refresh themselves.

In fact, this kind of thing should not exist on the court, but it is not a banned drug, and it can make the game more intense and exciting, so the Football Association clearly knows the existence of this thing, but has never banned it.

After the 15-minute halftime break, players from both teams came on the field again and continued the game.

The heat at the Bernabeu Stadium has been ignited again.

Real Madrid still used the 4231 defensive counterattack tactics of the first half with high pressure throughout the court, while Liverpool also used the 433 tactics of retreating to the half court for positional defensive counterattacks in the first half.

The difference is that on Real Madrid's side, Ozil's position is slightly back, while Kaka's position is closer to the center.

On the Liverpool side, Gu Ran's position was also far back. Liverpool's formation was 433 when attacking, and more like 442 when defending.

The coaches on both sides are focusing on the core area in the middle.

Ozil's space to get the ball was squeezed, Kaka's space to move increased, and Kaka had more opportunities to receive the ball in the frontcourt.

However, Gu Ran did not make a flying tackle on Kaka. Instead, he handed Kaka to Gerrard and Henderson, and he occasionally helped with defense. Gu Ran's focus was still on taking care of Ozil.

As long as Ozil was ready to move and support, Gu Ran would directly stick to him and press him.

Ozil was restricted tightly by Gu Ran.

Kaka didn't gain any advantage over Gerrard and Henderson, the old and the young.

In the first 15 minutes of the second half, the two sides fought back and forth and the game was very stalemate.

In the 61st minute, Kaka made a mistake when passing the ball to Ronaldo. His kick was a little bit slow. Henderson made a sliding tackle and intercepted the ball on its rolling path. Henderson did not get up, but half-lying on the ground, poked the ball to Gu Ran who retreated to the central midfielder position.

After Gu Ran got the ball, he immediately turned around and drove straight in! Real Madrid's defensive players had to keep an eye on Coutinho running wildly on the flank, Suarez on the other side, Lallana behind Gu Ran, and double-team Gu Ran.

However, at this time, Gu Ran no longer needed to hide anything. Gu Ran's physical strength was off the charts, and he sprinted at full speed, rushing and bumping his way through the opponents. In an instant, he dribbled the ball and knocked over the two Real Madrid players who were trying to intercept him, and went straight to the top of the penalty area.

Pepe and Carvalho teamed up to block Gu Ran, but Gu Ran didn't even slow down, and just dribbled past him at high speed! Pepe and Carvalho were knocked down by Gu Ran at the same time!

For the first time, a look of panic appeared on Saint Cassi's face!

Just as Gu Ran was about to kick, Pepe, who had fallen to the ground, took advantage of the situation and stretched out his foot to hook Gu Ran's ankle!

Gu Ran immediately lost his balance in the high-speed impact and fell into the penalty area!

Beep beep beep!

The referee blew the whistle!

The Real Madrid fans at the scene all held their heads and held their breath! The Liverpool fans who came from afar all clenched their fists and cheered excitedly! This was an obvious foul! Real Madrid was going to be sentenced to a penalty kick!

but……

The referee ran towards Gu Ran and showed him a yellow card, indicating that Gu Ran was diving!

Gu Ran's eyes suddenly widened, and he spread his hands to ask the referee with a look of confusion.

The excited Liverpool players all gathered around and argued with the referee.

It would have been fine if there was no penalty for this goal, but they actually judged Gu Ran for diving? Liverpool fans were completely furious!

Even more angry was Mourinho, who waved his fist in the technical area and cursed at the referee, "You're fucking blind with your krypton gold eyes."

The referee immediately ran towards Mourinho and showed him the first red card of the game.

Head coach Mourinho was sent off!

Mourinho cursed and, accompanied by his staff, sat in the stands behind the visiting team's bench to watch the game.
