Chapter 827 Snow Battle
In addition to their excellent performance in the league, Mourinho's team is also continuing to advance in the King's Cup. They eliminated Valencia with a total score of 4:2 in the two rounds of the quarter-finals. Into the semi-finals.Barcelona lost in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, and they were eliminated by Atletico Madrid on the bench.

Then at the end of January and early February, Real Madrid defeated Espanyol, another team in the Catalan region, in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey to enter the final, while their opponent was Atletico Madrid.In this way, in this year's Copa del Rey final, a Madrid derby will be staged.However, everyone believes that Atletico Madrid cannot stop Real Madrid from winning the Copa del Rey. After all, the strength gap between the two teams lies there, and Real Madrid has a huge psychological advantage over Atletico Madrid. Lost to the opponent.It is generally believed that Real Madrid will win the Copa del Rey again after a lapse of 1 years.

This opponent is also good news for Murphy. He missed the first Madrid derby due to injury, and this time will be his first Madrid derby.

With such consecutive victories, the time has entered February, and the Champions League knockout round is about to kick off.

In the two league games entering February, Real Madrid continued to maintain their momentum of consecutive victories. Among them, in the league game before the Champions League quarter-finals, Mourinho sent a substitute lineup. The performance is more fearful than the main lineup. They beat Athletic Bilbao at home with an astonishing 2:7. Could it be that No.2 did not appear until the second minute of the game. At that time the score was already 80:6. The home commentators are exclaiming that Real Madrid is crazy.

Among them, the pro-Real Madrid commentator did not forget to tease Barcelona: "Real Madrid leads the powerful Athletic Bilbao 6:2 at home with a set of substitutes, and the players on the bench include Mo, C. Ronaldo, Benzema, Alonso, Higuain and a group of stars, the total value of this bench has exceeded [-] million euros... Such an expensive bench, I think Guardiola must be very envious?"

In the end, Kaka scored a hat-trick against Athletic Bilbao, his first hat-trick after joining Real Madrid, before the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Dynamo Kyiv , Kaka completely got rid of the shadow of injuries in the previous few seasons and showed such an excellent state. For Mourinho, this is great news.

In addition, Di Maria, who was squeezed into the bench by Mo Fei, also started this game and performed extremely well. He not only scored a goal, but also provided two assists, one for Kaka and one for Ozil.Another outstanding performance is the substitute central defender Argentine Garay. He competed for corner kicks twice in the frontcourt and scored twice with headers.Such an outstanding performance will definitely add a lot of points to the head coach. In the case of the main central defender Carvalho being injured, he may use this to gain more opportunities to play.

In the most difficult Christmas schedule and New Year's schedule, Real Madrid swept the heroes of La Liga with the most powerful posture, and their 64 league points have already put them in the lead in the standings. There are relatively good teams such as Atletico Madrid, but for Real Madrid, in the entire La Liga, except for Barcelona, ​​they no longer have any opponents.

These consecutive victories fully explain everything. Just like the first half of the league, the La Liga teams have caused them a little trouble, and no one can stop them from moving forward. After four years, Real Madrid's return to the league title is close at hand.

Mourinho is also very satisfied with the team's recent performance. He doesn't think that his team's winning streak can widen the point gap with Barcelona. Real Madrid is winning streak, and Barcelona is also winning streak.But he has this consideration, that is, when the Champions League is rekindled, his team can at least not devote too much energy in the league. Now they still maintain a 9-point advantage over Barcelona. When re-entering the Champions League, I will be more calm and relaxed.

Consecutive big score wins show that Real Madrid is in very good condition, and not only the main lineup is in good condition, but the substitute lineup is also in very good condition. This will of course give Mourinho some headaches when he is arranging troops. It's a good question, but it's better than choosing thousands of choices but not being able to choose a single person.

Having many players in excellent form means that there are many changes, and it is more difficult for opponents to guess his plans. This is only good for Real Madrid's preparations for the Champions League quarter-finals.

Dynamo Kyiv was the champion of the Ukrainian league last season, and they performed well this season. They have always been stable in the top three camps, and sometimes they can reach the top of the league and sit for a few weeks.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. There is no comparison between the Ukrainian Super League and La Liga.What Mourinho cares about is the bad weather in Ukraine. Russia, which is adjacent to Ukraine, has already been snowing heavily. Presumably Ukraine is not much better. Real Madrid is likely to face the challenge of nature in Kiev, not Dynamo Kyiv. challenge.

In addition, Real Madrid has always been very hard when facing the former Soviet teams, so they must not underestimate the enemy.The team is in excellent condition, and for Mourinho, it also increases the chance of breaking into the quarterfinals.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Although Real Madrid's "Dream Eight Curse" was broken two seasons ago, Real Madrid's goal of the Champions League this season is the sword to win the championship, so they must not just fall on the eighth stage. On the strong door.

In the battle against Dynamo Kyiv, Mourinho is bound to send the strongest lineup.

The UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Dynamo Kyiv was held on the night of February 2. On the afternoon of the 21th, all members of Real Madrid took a flight to Russia. Due to the sudden heavy snowfall in Ukraine, The Kyiv International Airport in the Ukrainian capital has ceased operation, and the tragic Real Madrid stars can only travel directly to Kyiv by train from Russia.

When the players of Real Madrid arrived in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, they were enthusiastically welcomed and sought after by the local fans. It is a kind of happiness for the team to play against each other. After all, they are also very clear about the strength of their team. When Dynamo Kyiv and Real Madrid were drawn together, they knew that there was no hope of getting any closer this season.

So their mentality is very relaxed, and they consciously gathered at the Kyiv train station to welcome Real Madrid's team. They gave secret glances, and even more boldly stuffed a note with their own phone number into the hands of the players.Could it be that he was the biggest and deadliest superstar in this team, and no less than twenty pieces of paper were stuffed into his hands, which shows how popular Mr. Double Material is here.

Although the weather was cold, Real Madrid players felt warm in the heart of the fanatical atmosphere created by the Ukrainian fans. There is nothing more comforting than being frantically pursued by the fans.

"I love Ukraine! I love Ukrainian girls! This is really a wonderful place!" When returning, C. Luo expressed such excitement in the bus.

Other Real Madrid players also nodded in sympathy - the weather here is severe cold, but the fans here are enthusiastic, and each of them has more or less received some "small notes".

However, after the fire-like enthusiasm, the Real Madrid players put on a dejected expression on their faces-the weather here is really too cold, so cold that it makes people's teeth chatter, wrapped Wearing thick winter clothes, it was still so cold that people dared not shrink their necks.

It has to be said that Real Madrid's luck was too bad. When they arrived in Kyiv, the snow had stopped. Coupled with the warm welcome of the fans, they thought that the quarter-finals of the Champions League would be in a harmonious atmosphere. conduct.

Unexpectedly, in addition to the great enthusiasm of these fans for their arrival, even the weather was extremely "enthusiastic" to them-on the night when the hotel was settled, Kyiv once again broke out. It was snowing heavily, and judging by the momentum, there was no sign of stopping for a while. The whole of Kyiv, including Ukraine, was covered with a layer of silver, and it became a world covered in silver.

"It's unlucky, we won't be racing in the snow, right?" Marcelo couldn't help sighing as he watched the snowflakes falling outside the window.

"You crow mouth!"

"Damn it, we can't really be so unlucky, can we?"

"If the game the day after tomorrow is really held in heavy snow, I think I will beat you up hard!"

For Marcelo's "prophecy", Real Madrid players expressed their dissatisfaction indignantly.

On the day of the game, Marcelo was tragically kicked out by the big guys. The reason was that his crow mouth was full of words. On the day of the game, the weather in Kiev was still full of snowflakes. Dynamo Kyiv Valery Lobanovsky Stadium, the home stadium of the stadium, is still covered with snow. From a distance, the entire stadium cannot see a single bit of green, and it is completely a silver-white world.

Because of the unstoppable snow, the game had to be postponed. It was originally scheduled to start on time at [-]:[-] pm local time, but the game actually started around [-]:[-] pm.Because the snow was showing signs of gradually stopping at this time, it took more than a while for the on-site staff to clean up the snow on the court.

Real Madrid coach Mourinho looked at the players who had been warming up on the sidelines for more than an hour, but still had bleak faces on their faces, and sighed helplessly in his heart. This kind of weather is really too bad for Real Madrid. , Snow battle is definitely the situation they are least willing to face.
