Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 167 Barcelona, ​​who played a set of main players, still fell in the second half of the season [Please subscribe! 】

"When Mourinho's team has achieved a three goal difference advantage in the away game of the Champions League, how likely is the home team to comeback in the second round?"

An Arsenal fan posted such a query on social media when the game was in the No. 80 minute.

The results can be imagined, there are many versions of the reply he got, but the central idea is surprisingly consistent.

"Still thinking about making a comeback? Arsenal is going to die!"

The tens of thousands of Arsenal fans in the Emirates Stadium can no longer raise their confidence at this moment.

Even if Wenger sent Wilshere and Chamberlain to fight to the death at the last moment, these fans were very pessimistic.

Perhaps, before the start of this game, after they watched Real Madrid's home game against Sevilla, they had already prepared for the worst.

too difficult.

There is nothing they can do about this slightly conservative Real Madrid at home. They really don't know how Arsenal going to the Bernabeu should meet Real Madrid's stormy offensive.

When they played against Barcelona at home the year before last, they both won 2-1.

At that time they also had Fabregas, Nasri and Alexandre Song in the formation.

At that time, Arsenal could say that the forward line was not very strong, and the defense line had loopholes.

But relying on a balanced and strong midfield combination, they are not afraid to fight against Barcelona to control the offense and defense at the center line.

Comparing the midfield configuration of the previous year and this year, Arsenal fans are also extremely embarrassed.

In the past, I always felt that the team's lineup was not good enough and needed to be strengthened.

But after a few years of suffering, it was discovered that Arsenal had already held one of the top midfield combinations in football.

Now the midfielder can't be tough anymore, even if they hate those "traitors" any more, Arsenal fans have to admit it.

In those years, although the team was still searching for money in the transfer market, they never envied the midfielders of any giant football club!

pity.

Arsenal may not have such a midfield combination.

Not anymore.
The referee on duty did not give even one more second of stoppage time.

He pinched the watch to see the second hand beating in place, and he blew the whistle in his mouth.

The 3-0 number on the on-site electronic scoreboard is very eye-catching.

And the Real Madrid players who stuck to the game also smiled at each other and hugged each other in the Emirates Stadium!

After stepping off the field, Mourinho also took off the sharp needles on his body, and walked towards Wenger on his own initiative.

The two people at this meeting were indeed like old friends, patting each other's chest and arms on the sidelines to reminisce about the old days.

"It's time to find a midfielder who can support the team. Is it possible that you still want to train another one yourself? Arsene, these days, those youth training bases will not easily give up good midfielders."

"I know, so I begged you to buy Li Ang in 11, or are you selling him to me now?"

"Hey, Li Ang, I'm using it. Why do you have to buy this kid? You change it. I'll see if there is any suitable one in my team."

"You. The game was exciting. See you next time."

"Okay, the second leg is over, let's have a drink in Madrid."

The two finally smiled and said goodbye, and each walked towards their disciples.

Not long after the end of this Champions League focus match, the first round of the contest between Manchester United and Shakhtar Donetsk was also decided.

Manchester United lost the game in an upset, but Manchester United fans are still satisfied with the result.

1-2, Manchester United scored a valuable away goal in the ice and snow at the Metalist Stadium.

Back at Old Trafford in the second round, all Manchester United fans are confident that they can see the home team win comfortably.

So far, half of the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals this season has been played.

Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid won one after another without surprise, and Manchester United lost to Shakhtar Donetsk in a small upset.

But looking at the overall game form, the four strong teams still occupy more or less the initiative and advantages.

This is the scene UEFA most wants to see.

Among the teams participating in the Champions League, the top management of UEFA hopes to see more new faces.

It is best to have one or two dark horses reach the group stage or even the quarter-finals of the Champions League every season.

But in the quarter-finals, UEFA executives hope that all the rich and powerful teams will survive.

This kind of thinking is really a combination of standing and standing, wanting the income of the event and the prestige of the event.

But I have to say that their operation has allowed the current Champions League to run smoothly and further expand its territory.

It is in the word-of-mouth of the fans that they are destined to lie flat and be scolded.

The remaining eight teams will appear one after another in a week, and the Champions League battle is temporarily over.

In the previous four games, in addition to many exciting scenes, the fans talked about it.

There is another interesting thing that made many fans interested.

That is, after Juventus defeated the Celtics 3-0, the young star Pogba, who came off the bench in the second half, did a whole job.

The reporter asked him how he feels about the game and his vision for future development, and the guy directly said that his idol is Li Ang.

He also said that he wanted to win the club's Grand Slam honor before the age of 22 like Li Ang.

Pirlo was listening to the music, and said directly to the camera: "Okay, I will introduce this kid to the little lion."

Generally speaking, if the stars say this kind of polite words, it's fine for the fans to listen to them.

But the fans who can't help but watch the fun are more serious. These days, they have been running Li Ang's social media to leave messages and ask questions.

It wasn't until Li Ang posted screenshots of himself communicating with Pirlo and Pogba on the chat software that the group of entertainers ended their harassment of Li Ang with satisfaction.

Li Ang felt very novel about this meeting.

At first, he also thought that Pogba just mentioned it casually. Master Pi said hello, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that Pogba just wanted to make friends.

Unexpectedly, the boy greeted him enthusiastically as soon as he came up:
"Li Ang Li Ang! I'm your fan!"

Good guy, the phrase "I'm your fan" immediately gave Li Ang a bad feeling in his heart.

Fortunately, after communicating with Pogba for a while, he finally figured out the opponent's brain circuit.

Pogba originally envied him that he won so many championship honors at a young age, and he was able to make a lot of money from Mane.

That being said, it makes sense.

Just envious of his championship titles instead of liking his game, that's not really a fan.

Well, it can only be regarded as a champion fan!

With such a relationship, Li Ang and Pogba, who is still immature now, chatted eagerly.

Although Li Ang is very shameless about the Pogba in his memory who later stabbed Mourinho in the back and whose professionalism is also questionable.

But this time he is only facing a dream chasing boy who is not yet 20 years old.

It is not fair to apply the events that "may" happen later to Pogba now.

Li Ang just talked about the exciting process of winning the championship last year in the occasional connection, and Pogba began to sigh and exclaim again and again.

That tone was full of envy and longing.

After all, Pogba is still slowly leveling up at Juventus, and he hasn't even made the main force yet, so it can only be regarded as an important rotation.

He hasn't even tasted the taste of the Serie A champion, and the title of Champions League and six-time champion is even more distant from him.

Li Ang routinely encouraged him a few words, saying that he would pay attention to his performance in Serie A.

Unexpectedly, this sentence made Pogba come alive, and he officially invited Li Ang to watch the Juventus game in Turin.

Now Li Ang is also at a loss for words, and can only say that he will go to Turin to see him and Pirlo if he has the opportunity.

After the two-day exchange ended, Li Ang only felt that he hadn't gained any fans. Was it inappropriate to recognize a younger brother?
Encouraging him and agreeing to watch his game later, Li Ang felt that this feeling of caring about the growth of others was somewhat strange.

Fortunately, there is no fixed time, so Li Ang doesn't have to worry about missing the appointment if he can't make time.

Real Madrid's next round of league opponents is another tough one, Rayo Vallecano who caused them a lot of trouble in the first half of the game.

This team is really tough, from the beginning to the second half of the league.

Not to mention that the results were not pulled away, but they were tenaciously nailed to the top six in La Liga!

Their record is also very interesting, with twelve wins, one draw and ten losses.

Not too many goals, not too many conceded goals, just highlight the tenacious struggle during the game.

They will never give up if they have the hope of winning, and they rarely consider the possibility of stopping to keep the tie anyway.

With such a mid-to-upstream team of Cowhide Candy, whoever the Huangsa two teams meet will feel a headache.

Many Barcelona fans gave birth to a lot of hope because of this, and cheered for Vallecano one after another, wishing them that they can score points against Real Madrid.

As for Valencia, which is ranked fifth in La Liga, Barcelona will face this round of the league, Barcelona fans feel okay.

Previously, Barcelona's performance began to fluctuate because there were too many games and the main players did not have enough rest.

Is the situation different now? Since the end of the last round of the league, Barcelona has rested for a week. During this period, they did not play the Champions League or the Copa del Rey.

There's no reason why Valencia can't be won!
With absolute confidence, countless Barcelona fans turned on the TV on the night of February 2th or the early morning of February 16th.

The Real Madrid game will start on the night of February 2 local time.

So many Barcelona fans are well prepared. After watching Barcelona's victory comfortably tonight, they will watch Real Madrid's possible overturn tomorrow night.

Regardless of whether the probability is large or small, there are always some probabilities.

How comfortable it will be to witness Barcelona successfully surpassing Real Madrid in the standings~
But when the focus of this round of La Liga ended after 10 and [-] minutes of fierce fighting, many Barcelona fans went red-hot!
1-1!

Valencia beat Barcelona's offensive game at home, and Messi played desperately this time, only to help Barcelona equalize the score in the second half!
Without a lore, Valencia rejected Barcelona's last-minute siege with Real Madrid's defensive style of play.

As soon as the game ended, Barcelona's players looked quite tired on the court.

They may be in good physical condition, but the mental exhaustion is palpable.

Vilanova's brows were also full of sadness.

He knew that some time ago, the disadvantages of deadly manipulating the main lineup were revealed.

But what can he do? Guardiola can't solve the problem of a weak rotation.

At that time, Guardiola could only continue to fight chicken blood, encouraging his core direct descendants to drive his teammates to fight Real Madrid to the end.

But this set is not working well now.

Of course Guardiola's direct disciples respect Vilanova, but they obviously can't do everything for Vilanova like they did for Guardiola's bloody battle.

People, after all, have their own feelings.

Not to mention, there are still some players in the Barcelona locker room who have begun to put on airs of heroes
The top management wants results, but the rotation cannot stabilize the results. Vilanova will not be able to take strong measures to clean up the locker room.

Because the first round of Barcelona's Champions League knockout round is about to start, if he dares to take strong measures, then Barcelona may not even be able to make it through the first round of the knockout round.

Guardiola may have anticipated today's situation a long time ago, so he chose to retreat bravely before Christmas last year.

Barcelona once again reached the cusp of public opinion.

The angry doubts of their own fans and the sharp comments of the media were like sharp swords, stabbing the silent Barcelona players invisible.

Real Madrid, which benefited from Barcelona's unexpected draw, continued to keep a low profile and silence.

The internal Real Madrid players are naturally quite happy, but they, just like before, did not choose to add insult to injury on the public opinion side.

Mourinho and the members of the coaching staff also closed the door and celebrated a little.

At present, Real Madrid has two rounds less and is only one point behind Barcelona and ranks second in La Liga.

Barcelona, ​​which seemed to have a strong record in the first half, finally started to lose the chain in the second half.

And Real Madrid, which has always adopted scientific rotation before, will naturally not let the opportunity slip away like this.

On the evening of February 2th, under the attention of almost all Western media, Real Madrid ushered in the No.17 fourth round of La Liga against Rayo Vallecano at home.

The match between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano is also the final match of this round of La Liga, and only this La Liga match will be broadcast live at the same time.

So whether it is in Spain or in overseas markets, the ratings of this game are quite high.

The Vallecano players are still full of energy, and they set up a posture at the beginning to confront Real Madrid in the midfield.

But today Mourinho rarely discharged four midfielders and Vallecano to fight for consumption.

Alonso dragged behind, Essien and Matuidi lined up on both sides of the midfield, and Li Ang served as a central midfielder.

As far as Real Madrid's midfield configuration is concerned today, Vallecano wants to play a confrontation, but it can only be said that he has completely found the wrong opponent.

In the first half, Real Madrid scored two goals against Vallecano. Higuain, who started the game today, was in excellent form, scoring twice directly, and the shot felt hot!

Ronaldo made a penalty in No.603 minutes of the second half, but he did not choose to take the penalty himself, but gave it to Higuain.

The smoker was not hypocritical when he saw this, but he was grateful and scored the penalty kick steadily, and staged his first hat-trick of the season!
After a quick 3-0 victory over Vallecano, Real Madrid overtook Barcelona by two points in league points and reached the top of La Liga again with one game less!
This result made many Barcelona fans feel unbalanced.

Real Madrid's record is still terribly stable, and now Real Madrid only needs to fight on two lines, and there is a stable and reliable rotation lineup to reduce the burden on the main players.

Does Barcelona really have a chance to compete with Real Madrid for the La Liga title this season?

The headlines of the major media reports the next day were quite straightforward.

"Marca" once again released a report on the hymn to Real Madrid in response to the heat.

"Real Madrid, striding forward on the road to defending the title!" "
