When the game started, Pellegrini stood on the sidelines, looking embarrassed.

Honestly, he has no confidence in this game.

Although everyone is saying that it will be a life-and-death battle for Real Madrid, based on Pellegrini's observation of this team, he believes that the team is not ready for this life-and-death battle.

The team did not unite before the crisis.

There are still many factions in the locker room.

And most importantly, before this game, I was completely isolated in the locker room...

Although the players expressed their opinions in front of the media one by one, they said that they would definitely help the team return to the Bernabeu...

But Pellegrini knew very well that this was just a show.

Real Madrid has a large number of superstars, but at the same time, they bring no one to listen to anyone.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the most valuable player in Real Madrid, so he naturally has to enjoy the treatment of the number one star.

But Raul is the captain of the team and the flag of the team. He is the number one star in the team and is the most loved by fans.

Cristiano Ronaldo wore a No. 7 jersey at Manchester United, which is also his favorite number.

But in Real Madrid, because of Raul's presence, he could not wear his favorite number, and could only use 9 as his jersey number.

The Portuguese has been spying on Raul's position, showing his jersey number. He wants to wear the No. 7 jersey he is most familiar with. This question has been reported since he decided to join Real Madrid, and everyone is speculating whether Raul will give the number to Cristiano Ronaldo.

But in the end, the Portuguese chose the No. 9 jersey, and he did not take the initiative to fight Raul.

But could Cristiano Ronaldo always wear the No. 9 jersey?

So there have been rumors that after Florentino came on stage for the second time, he always wanted to drive Raul away. When Raul left, the No. 7 jersey will naturally be given to the Portuguese.

This is not nonsense. When Florentino was the chairman of Real Madrid before, he wanted to drive Raul away.

Because he thought Raul was someone who could threaten himself.

But he didn't do it and then stepped down.

At that time, there were rumors that Raul and Florentino were not in good relationship.

Of course, who would have a good relationship with a club chairman who was determined to drive him away?

Now, when Florentino comes to power again, he has not forgotten his original intention.

Raul is now thirty-two years old. As he grows older, his performance in all aspects has declined a lot.

At this time, it will not be as difficult as before.

Raul is gone, who is the boss of the team?

Casillas? Or Cristiano Ronaldo?

In the eyes of many people, of course it is the latter.

So the dispute over jersey numbers between Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul is not just a jersey problem.

There are many other issues involved, and the faction comparisons may be redefining in Real Madrid's locker room.

The open and secret competition between Raul and Cristiano Ronaldo is just a microcosm of Real Madrid's complex locker room.

Without a strong head coach, this team will definitely not be able to unite.

No matter what problems they encounter, they cannot.

It can be seen from this game.

Logically speaking, Real Madrid has been forced into a desperate situation in this game. They should be more proactive and aggressive, right?

No, no.

After the game began, the home team Manchester City was the one who had the upper hand.

Real Madrid doesn't seem to be in a hurry, they play slowly.

On the plus side, this is calm and composed.

But now there is no need to be calm and calm.

Even the Spanish commentator was wondering: "The most precious thing for Real Madrid at this time is time. They should seize the time to attack instead of slowly passing the ball forward here. Oh..."

As he was talking, Roussena Diyala passed the football back to central defender Ramos and completed a return pass.

The Spanish commentator sighed: "I've passed the ball back again. Where can I get the opportunity if I don't pass it forward?"

Real Madrid fans who cannot follow the team to play away games and can only watch the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV can't help but complain when they see this scene.

However, Real Madrid players cannot hear the complaints from the commentators and fans.

They still played slowly in the game.

It seems that this is not their life-and-death battle, but an ordinary game after they have already qualified in the group in advance.

※※※

Pellegrini was still standing on the sidelines at the beginning of the game, but soon he returned to the coach's seat, sat in his seat, staring at the stadium without saying a word, and did not mean to stand on the sidelines to direct the game.

He knows why the team performed like this.

It's not that Real Madrid players don't want to win.

They want to win.

But they don't know how to win.

They don't listen to the head coach's words, and they don't know what to do if they let them play against opponents like Manchester City.

Some players believe that they should attack after the game starts, strive for the first goal, and take the initiative in the game into their own hands.

Some players think that they should be more secure after the game starts and focus on defense. Because this is Manchester City's home court after all, they will definitely attack at home. If Real Madrid pushes out the attack at this time, they will be afraid that Manchester City will fall behind first in the away game after more goals, and there will be no need to play in this game.

If the thoughts are not unified, it is manifested that Real Madrid is playing very chaotic and has no idea. If there is no idea, there is only back-passing and cross-passing, and I dare not pass forward.

Real Madrid played so chaotic, but Manchester City would not show mercy because they felt sorry for them.

Taking advantage of the chaos of Real Madrid, Manchester City kept putting pressure on Real Madrid's defense. For a moment, Real Madrid's goal was full of dangers and panic.

And in the 21st minute, Glory assisted Sneider to score a goal.

"Sneider - the beautiful long-range shot Rong's breakthrough attracted the attention of most Real Madrid defenders, but Sneider had no one to guard against Sneider's shot. This shot was very comfortable, just like in normal training."

The Manchester City Stadium burst into loud cheers.

"Manchester City players are very relaxed, and Real Madrid... Who can qualify in the group and who can't make the arc, there is a reason. We must not simply attribute the reason why Manchester City can win, it is simply to be lucky..."

Amid the cheers of Manchester City fans, Sneider ran towards glory, and the two core members of Manchester City hugged each other.

Other players also rushed up and surrounded them.

"I think there is no suspense in this game. Although the game has just begun twenty-one minutes and Manchester City is only one goal ahead. But look at the spirit of the players on both sides... It is obvious that Manchester City's team has more desire for victory, and Real Madrid... They seem to have forgotten how to fight to the death," the commentators of the neutral country criticized the performance of Real Madrid players without hesitation.

But this criticism is unfair to all Real Madrid players, because not all Real Madrid players have lost their fighting spirit, and some people are determined to win.

It goes without saying that the starting captain Raul is.

Kaka is also active and active.

But if it is positive, if it is active, his performance is not good.

After he got the ball, his sprint speed was not as fast as before, and his explosive power was not as good as before. After he got the ball, even if there were opponents' defensive players pressing each other closely, he could still use his strong explosive power to get rid of his opponent in one step.

But now, when he catches the ball, once Manchester City players stick it up, it will be difficult for him to get rid of it.

After losing a few balls, he could only pass the ball out to avoid throwing it away from him.

However, a person who only knows how to catch the ball and pass the ball is obviously not worth 60 million euros, and it is not worthy of everyone's expectations for him.

Kaka worked very hard, but he felt that his body was losing strength little by little. The injury in his groin affected his outbreak, leaving him with little strength.

In order to participate in this game, he kept it from telling anyone, and even his wife Caroline didn't know about it.

In such a critical game, he didn't want to be absent. He wanted to be the savior of the team, leading Real Madrid into the Champions League knockout round and defeating Rong Guang

He knew very well that once his injury was known to the team doctor team, he would definitely be excluded from the roster, and that would make him unable to even come to Manchester.

But he forced himself to come to Manchester, but still couldn't exert his strength.

He was very anxious.

I was anxious that my body was so incompetent...

※※※

After Manchester City scored a goal in the first half, the chaos in Real Madrid did not ease, but became worse.

Differences on the court are getting worse.

The offensive players basically do not return to defense, while the defensive players are very embarrassed by Manchester City's strong offensive, and it is impossible to step forward to support the offense.

Seeing this scene, many Spanish journalists in the media table shook their heads secretly - How could Real Madrid, which bought so many superstars this summer, be so embarrassed?

It was not until the end of the first half that Real Madrid fans were temporarily relieved - because they did not concede another goal in the first half. If they were two goals behind in the first half, there would be no more games to play.

Give up early.

Now, these Real Madrid fans still have some hope in their hearts.

Hopefully, the team's adjustments during the halftime break.

I have to say that the obsessed person is so cute, he actually thought there was still a show in Real Madrid...
