Chapter 24: A Brilliant First Half
When Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area, a huge cheer sounded at the Bernabeu stadium to cheer for their Emperor superstar.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo looked up at the penalty area, he was not looking for his passing target, but observing the position of Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Moya
At the same time, Marcelo stepped forward from behind him, pulling away Atletico Madrid's right-back Juan Fran. Cristiano Ronaldo took this opportunity to pull the football into the middle and cut in!
Ronaldo took a long shot before Miranda caught up and blocked him.
The football fell significantly when approaching the goal. Moya did not touch the football at all, so he could only watch the football fly to the goal.
The Bernabeu Stadium was already filled with impatient cheers.
But the football hit the crossbar hard and bounced out!
"Cristiano Ronaldo decisively shot from a long shot! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! My God! The football actually hit the crossbar! The football actually hit the crossbar! If it goes in, what a beautiful world wave! This is Cristiano Ronaldo's first shot in this game! It seems that he is in a pretty good shape today!"
Cristiano Ronaldo, who failed to score, held his head with his hands in his face, with an incredible expression on his face, seemed to have never expected that his beautiful kick would be turned away by the crossbar of the Bernabeu...
The Portuguese shot scared many Atletico Madrid players very much. After Moa got up, he ran to the goal, jumped up and touched the crossbar, thanking the crossbar for helping him block Cristiano Ronaldo's shot.
He was really powerless to do anything about the ball just now. He had tried his best to jump high and raised his hand up, but the flying height of the football was still beyond his control. It would be fine if it was just like this. Generally, the ball of this height would be above the crossbar and could not threaten the goal, but the ball shot by Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly fell and headed straight for the goal, just like the Portuguese kicking his signature elevator ball in a sports battle.
Facing such a shot, the goalkeeper can do is really limited except praying to God.
But unlike his teammates, Gao Zheng laughed when he saw Cristiano Ronaldo's kick.
He knew that he had successfully aroused the Portuguese fighting spirit, and the other party really treated him as an opponent.
If he had already challenged Ronaldo in person, but the other party ignored him, that would be really miserable. Gao Zheng never expected Icardi who was treated like this at the beginning...

In the 23rd minute, Gao Zheng took the ball at the front of the penalty area and sent a beautiful straight pass. Saul entered the penalty area and received Gao Zheng's corner kick, which almost formed a single shot. But in the end, his shot missed out of the close corner.
When the football was played on the sideline, many Real Madrid fans were really scared to death and their hearts almost stopped beating because the ball entered.
Three minutes later, Gao Zheng got another shot, and his shot in the penalty area was blocked by Casillas. The blocked football was cleared by Ramos with a big foot.
"Although this is the home court at Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid's offensive is also very fierce. Both sides attack back and forth, fighting fiercely, and the pace is always fast! This is the Madrid derby! This is really worthy of being the Madrid derby!" Jose Maria praised the beginning of the 20-minute game.
Although no one scored, the score was still 0:0, such a game would not feel boring at all.
"Gao performed very well in the game. He could create threats whether it was shooting or passing. This was really surprising. You should know that during the warm-up match, Gao and other teammates at Atletico Madrid seemed to be unable to cooperate, and goals were more dependent on personal ability... In this game, Gao and his teammates had more connections, and Atletico Madrid's offense was immediately more threatening than during the warm-up match!"
※※※
Gao Zheng just threatened the goal guarded by Casillas, and Cristiano Ronaldo was naturally not to be outdone. In the 29th minute, Modric chose to shoot in front of the penalty area. The ball was blocked by Godin and flew to a certain place.
But just when almost everyone was not aware of it, a white figure rushed up like lightning, kept stopping the ball, and shot directly!
"Ronaldo!!"
Amid Jose Maria's roar with a long voice, Moya also made a wonderful save, blocking Cristiano Ronaldo's powerful long shot with both fists.
Ronaldo's long shot was indeed very powerful, and Moya didn't dare to take it directly, for fear that he would not be able to take it off, so he gave other Real Madrid players the chance to make a follow-up shot.
The football he hit flew directly to the midfield, which shows how powerful Ronaldo's shot was...
"Wow! Moya made a wonderful save, and he stopped Ronaldo's sudden long shot! As a goalkeeper, he was very focused! Of course, facing an opponent like Ronaldo, if he is not focused, he will lose the ball every minute! Everyone knows the horror of Cristiano Ronaldo! And he is in a very good condition today!"
Commentator Jose Maria praised Gao Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo for their good condition, but did not associate the good condition of these two people.
For him, isn’t it normal for the two stars of the team to be in good shape in such an important game?
However, in Gao Zheng's eyes, the Portuguese's good condition has different meanings.
The two people compete with each other, and they compete with each other. Now it depends on who can break the deadlock first and take the lead in this competition!
The activity of Gao Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo made this Spanish Super Cup exciting. Both the fans on the scene and the fans in front of the TV were so excited.
However, although there were many wonderful offenses, neither team scored a goal.
It seems that God wants to make the competition between Gao Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo more suspense.
The game lasted almost forty minutes, and the score on the field was still 0:0.
In the 41st minute, Real Madrid attacked the frontcourt, and the bbc combination made a switch. Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo exchanged positions. Bale came to the left side, while Ronaldo went to the right side.
When Bale got the ball on the left, Benzema in the middle decisively stepped forward and took Miranda away, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly cut in from the right to the back point, and raised his arm high to signal Bale to pass the ball to him.
Bell indeed obediently passed the football over, making a slant pass at a forty-five-degree angle.
Then Ronaldo sprinted with a quick pace, jumped high, and suddenly grabbed him from behind Godin and fought for the header!
At this time, Godin could only throw his body up and use his body to squeeze the Portuguese in the air, hoping to interfere with the other party.
Ronaldo hit the ball and threw the ball towards the goal!
"Ronaldo heads the ball! It's so dangerous!"
The football flew out of the baseline against the back post, but this time Moya did not make any save. If Ronaldo could push the football within the range of the goal frame, he might score a goal.
When Ronaldo, who had hit the ball, fell to the ground, was squeezed by Godin and unable to maintain balance and his body tilted to one side. After landing, he suddenly felt that his support foot was pulled down due to uneven stress.
It was this time that he did not dare to exert force any more, and he quickly changed his other foot to support his body, which almost made him fall to the ground.
However, everyone was regretting and sorry for his header and sliding out of the goal, so no one noticed the abnormality after Cristiano Ronaldo landed.
He did not sit down to the ground immediately, but frowned and walked two steps before starting to trot slowly. He was testing his muscles.
If he hadn't been able to hold on, he wouldn't want to take the initiative to ask for replacement.
But after two steps, he felt it was not very good.
At this time, he looked up at the big screen, which had time for the game.
It is now the 42nd minute of the game, and there are three minutes left before the end of the first half.
Chapter completed!
