End of the fifth update!
-----
December 6th, 8: 45 p.m.
In Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, the Kiev Olympic Stadium, which could accommodate 80,000 people, seemed empty.
Kiev Dynamo, who had not won a single game in the Champions League this season, had already been eliminated. The fans were disheartened with the team.
Even when Real Madrid, which was full of star players, came here as guests, no one cared about the game.
Real Madrid had been in Spain for a long time. Ukraine, which had come to Eastern Europe, was very uncomfortable with the sudden drop in temperature.
This caused Real Madrid to enter the game later and their technical play was also limited. It was as if everyone had been frozen into popsicles and their reactions were very slow.
Kiev Dynamo scored two goals in the first half!
Until the 80th minute of the second half, the score on the scoreboard was still 2: 0.
When the Kiev Dynamo players thought the team was about to win the first Champions League game of the season, Real Madrid's superstar stood up!
In the 85th minute of the game, Beckham kicked a corner kick. Substitute Javi Garcia headed the ball in the penalty area. Ronaldo stopped the ball on the line of the penalty area and pushed the shot to the bottom left corner of the goal.
Real Madrid pulled a goal back!
Three minutes later, Ronaldo broke into the penalty area and was fouled by two Kiev Dynamo defenders and fell to the ground. The referee whistled to signal a penalty kick!
Ronaldo personally took the lead and hit the penalty kick!
With a brace, Real Madrid equalized the score within three minutes!
The aliens, who seemed to be on fire recently, tried to turn the tide and help the team to complete a big comeback in Kiev.
But there was not much time left. Kiev Dynamo went all out to defend and dragged the game to the end.
Kiev Dynamo could only accept the unlucky fate of being eliminated from the Champions League this season without a single win!
Real Madrid was full of resentment. A fact that they could not accept was presented in front of them: Lyon defeated Steaua Bucharest at home by 3: 0. Real Madrid was two points behind Lyon and could only advance to the top 16 of the Champions League as second in the group!
Real Madrid only rested for four hours after returning to Madrid from Ukraine. The team then went into training to prepare for the game against Sevilla on the weekend.
Although the team did not defeat Kyiv Dynamo and was relegated to second place in the group to advance to the top 16 of the Champions League, Ronaldo, who had been scoring goals recently, seemed to have regained his former glory. He did not dare to say that the omnipotent alien had returned, but at least he showed the shadow of a goal machine again.
The reporters flocked to the training base. They did not want to see what new tricks Capello would come up with in preparation for Seville. Instead, they wanted to interview Ronaldo, who had been scoring like crazy recently and had scored six goals in three games!
The Real Madrid officials also hoped that Ronaldo could show his face more when he was in high spirits and bring more popularity to the club. After all, the alien's fans were all over the world.
Ronaldo accepted the interview in high spirits.
The reporters asked all kinds of questions with great interest.
"You've already scored 9 goals. You're 21 goals away from your promise of 30 goals."
Ronaldo answered the question with confidence.
"This bet is still valid, and I will work hard to achieve my goal. Some people don't believe me, and that only makes me more motivated. So far, I still think I can win. "
"Does Capello's way of motivating you make you feel like you have a love-hate relationship with him?"
"I personally like it this way. I hope the coach asks me to do something. If he doesn't, it means he doesn't care about you at all. Capello is very demanding of me. Sometimes we don't understand each other and have arguments about it. But that's normal. It's part of football. Now, I like that he asks me for a lot of things. He's interested in me. In my opinion, I'm important to him, and it shows that he trusts me. "
"Capello once said publicly that you're fat. Is that disrespectful to you?"
"I don't mind him saying that. I'm annoyed that the media always misconveys his meaning. I can only pretend I didn't hear it. We can check to see if you're really fat or how much you weigh. Everyone can do that. What makes me feel funny is that we're still talking about this topic. As long as you can score goals, you're a great player. If you can't, then you're fat. I'm passionate about training and always want to improve myself. In fact, I don't care what others say about me. "
Although Ronaldo's expression was indifferent when he answered, the perceptive reporters still saw the struggle in Ronaldo's eyes.
Of course, no one really didn't mind this. It was not just life, but also competition. How many people on the field were fat?
Disrespect? It was far more uncomfortable than that!
So the reporters changed the subject. They didn't want Ronaldo to be unhappy and leave.
"Today, the media is saying that the king is back!"
Ronaldo showed a rather innocent smile when he heard this.
"I'd rather talk about football, whether we lost or won or how we played. For most people, the first topic is football and nothing else. I'd rather talk about football, football, football. "
"Do you like the way the team is playing so far?"
"First of all, I'm happy to have the opportunity. Real Madrid is an awesome team, so the fans ask for a lot of things and it's understandable. But everyone has a reason to be happy for the team's results, even if the team doesn't play beautifully. And they'll be able to see wonderful football soon. "
"Can you play against Sevilla?"
"As long as the coach allows it. Of course, I'd like to play to help the team score and get back three points. But no matter what, I'll obey the coach's arrangements because I'm a professional player. "
"At present, they're four points ahead of Barcelona. Isn't the possibility of Real Madrid winning back the league title this season already very high?"
"What we want is to win. It doesn't make sense to talk about the top of the table or the championship now. At the end of the season, we must lead the other teams in first place. If Barça keeps winning from now on, we have to keep winning points. "
Ronaldo did not feel tired at all after the interview.
It seemed that he had not been so respected and taken care of by the reporters for an interview for a long time.
And the reporters did not make things difficult for him with very sharp questions, which made him feel incomparably happy.
He wanted to play now and then keep scoring goals to prove that he was still a treasure.
Qin Xiong only returned to the team on the last day of training to prepare for Sevilla. His recovery was ideal, but Capello still did not intend to put Qin Xiong in the starting lineup for the game out of caution. He would go to the Pizjuán Stadium as a substitute.
