Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 849 Wounded Soldiers
The celebrations of the fans are still going on. Real Madrid won the league championship five rounds ahead of time. I am afraid that the city will be in a state of chaos in the next month. Losing the league championship for four years, the joy brought by this kind of glory , football makes everyone addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves.

However, after a night of crazy celebrations, the Real Madrid team has restarted their preparations. In Mourinho's words, the league championship has been won, but this is not our end, we should have a bigger goal As a result, we should pursue more championships this season.Therefore, fans can still get carried away and celebrate, but we must cheer up and put all our energy into the next game, then win, then win the championship, and finally...bring more to this stadium and this city Big honor and joy.

When Mourinho said more victories and more titles, he was referring to the upcoming Copa del Rey title fight with Atletico Madrid, as well as the Champions League.The goal of Real Madrid this season is to win the championship of all the competitions they participate in. The Spanish Super Cup and the league championship have already been obtained, and the remaining two competitions are the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League.

This will be the focus of Real Madrid for the next period of time.For them, now is not the time to celebrate, only defeating all opponents and winning all the championships they want is the moment of victory for them to cheer.

Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final opponents have been announced. Surprisingly, their opponent is Manchester United. The Red Devils of the Premier League were tied [-]-[-] by Inter Milan at home, and they exploded at the Meazza Stadium. , In the back-to-back battle, they even drew [-]-[-] with Inter Milan in the away game, and finally entered the Champions League semi-finals by virtue of the advantage of more away goals.

For this result, the Real Madrid players don't care, they are the same as anyone, they have already won two championships, and they still beat the former European overlord Barcelona so far in the league, this made the Real Madrid players extremely confident , They don't care who the opponent is, because they feel that everyone is the same, and there is only one final result, Real Madrid wins and enters the final!
The head coach Mourinho seemed a little unhappy. Originally, he wanted to compete with his old club in the semi-finals of the Champions League. By the way, he wanted to convey a message to the fans and friends there——ha, look, I’m having a rough time now Good, so you don't have to worry about me.

But this idea can only be aborted now. Mourinho even complained to his assistant Greder in private, his tone was full of hatred: "Why are they eliminated? Hey, Really, I said go back and see them..."

Grad was made ridiculous by the inconspicuous remarks of his immediate boss, and finally he persuaded Mourinho: "You can go back after reaching the final, and then say hello to your friends."

Mourinho thought so too, and he soon became excited again, because since he left Chelsea, he hasn't played against Manchester United and that stubborn old Scottish man for many years. When he was in the Premier League, he had a quarrel with Ferguson It was very unpleasant, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe the two people as "rivals of life and death".Now that he has the opportunity to fight against the opponent again, Mourinho can't help but look forward to it while excited.

In fact, the reason why Mourinho is happy is not only that he can compete with Ferguson, but more importantly, he feels that his luck is really good this season. Met Manchester United again.It's not that Manchester United's strength is not strong, but in Mourinho's mind, he feels that Inter Milan is more difficult to deal with. The defensive ability of the Serie A team is already strong, and their style just restrains Real Madrid's fast attack. In contrast, Mourinho believes that Inter Milan is undoubtedly better than Manchester United. The current Red Devils have shown a downward trend after the rise of Tottenham Hotspur.This time they were able to eliminate Inter Milan, more due to luck.

However, football games are full of many unpredictable factors. It does not mean that whoever is stronger will definitely be able to win.In a tournament system like the Champions League, luck is also very important. Who can say that luck is not a manifestation of strength?

However, Real Madrid still have two games to play before facing Manchester United.One is an away game against the Hercules. Although the championship has been won, the league is not over yet, and they still need to finish the remaining few league games.However, the focus can be shifted, and the main energy will be devoted to the Copa del Rey and the Champions League.

The other is the Copa del Rey battle with the city's younger brother Atletico Madrid.

The two games are played together the following week, with the league in the middle of the week and the Copa del Rey final at the weekend.The double match a week is a bit awkward in the usual time. The players are prone to fatigue due to continuous battles, but it is not a problem at all now. Mourinho decided to send a substitute lineup to play against the Hercules and save all his energy for the match against the Hercules. Atletico Madrid's Copa del Rey final.

The game against the Hercules was a game without any suspense. The Hercules are still struggling in the relegation zone. They need to work hard to avoid relegation. Even at home, their winning percentage is not high.The current state of Real Madrid is at its peak. Even if most of the players on the field are substitute players, they are still doomed to escape the fate of tragedy.

But despite this, the Hercules still have to fight, unless they are really willing to accept the fate of tragic relegation.

So this game against the Hercules was extremely hot, and even the commentators on the scene lamented that this game is like a real national derby, because when facing Real Madrid, Barcelona behaved like a belly team, but that's about it...

In such a fierce game, although Mourinho used some of the rotation players, injuries still inevitably occurred.

Harvey Alonso fell to the ground after colliding with an opposing player in the 63rd minute of the game. He couldn't hold on to the game and was carried off the field.

This is not the most tragic thing. The Portuguese central defender Ricardo Carvalho, who had just returned from injury, was also injured and fell to the ground at the end of the game. He also collided with an opponent player and fell to the ground. He was also unable to continue The game was dismissed.Ricardo only played in the second half. Mourinho wanted him to find his feeling through the fierce game. After all, he was injured for such a long period of time, and his state is still unknown.However, this move caused a tragedy for the Portuguese. Before he played the full half, he "returned" to the camp of the wounded again.

However, the Hercules player who injured Alonso and Ricardo only received a verbal warning, which made Mourinho extremely angry off the court. He was sent off the field with a red card by the referee.

Of course he has reason to be angry. Ricardo doesn't need to care. Anyway, he has been injured for such a long time, and the team has also adapted to the situation where Ramos plays central defender. Now he has less influence and effect on the team.But Alonso is different, because Alonso is his midfielder, a player he relies on very much, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as indispensable, but now his midfielder is lying on a stretcher. He will miss all subsequent games, and the fouled player will only receive a verbal warning. If Mourinho is the referee, that player may be sent off with a red card on the spot.This is not enough to relieve his anger, and he will be punished additionally, and he will be fined eight games out of ten.

At the end of the season, what Mourinho is most afraid of now is not that the players are not in good condition, but the team has extensive injuries.It is very lucky that no serious injuries have hit his team this season.

But now it seems that good luck is finally going to leave him. This time, two main players were injured. How embarrassing is this for him...

If Ozil, Di Maria, Benzema...these people are injured, he can still calm down a little, frowning at most instead of getting angry.

It happened that the midfielder Alonso was injured.Although Murphy is the real core of the team this season, Alonso's role is still indispensable. He is Murphy's most effective supporter. Can be in charge of midfield scheduling after Mo Fei rushes to the frontcourt.Real Madrid actually has two cores this season. Mo Fei can do most of what he can do. If Mo Fei is restricted, he can share the team's organizational tasks.

If he is injured, Real Madrid's midfield organization tasks will all fall on Murphy, and Murphy is more often charged in the frontcourt. Without Alonso's supplement and care in the midfield, Real Madrid's Offensive ability will be weakened to a considerable extent.If Murphy is frozen, then Real Madrid will really have nothing to play, and there will be no organization in the midfield. It’s not that Mourinho looks down on Kaka and Ozil. These two players have good breakthrough and forward abilities. , but let them play the role of organizers and passers, uh, the fire is still far away...

This is also the main reason for Mourinho's anger - no one can say whether Alonso's injury will be a turning point to rewrite the ending of this season. Real Madrid is entirely possible because of Alonso's injury And let the attempt to win all the championships fail.

This is a result that Mourinho cannot accept anyway.

But it doesn't matter if you don't accept it. It has already happened. Mourinho can only find ways to remedy it and try his best to downplay the impact of losing Alonso on the team.

In fact, Mourinho also has his own reasons for peace of mind. Although Alonso is injured, only Mo Fei is left as Real Madrid's midfield organizer. Freeze this Chinese superstar, right?
Mourinho decided to ignore the future and focus on the current game first.It’s hard to say whether Alonso’s injury will affect the future, but it will definitely not affect this game, because when he was injured, Real Madrid had already led 2-0. The players of the Hercules team took a long shot.

With the lessons learned from Alonso and Ricardo, Mourinho originally wanted Murphy and C. Ronaldo to come off the bench to find a feeling, but now he has completely dispelled this idea. If he and C. Luo are kicked off the field, well, then Real Madrid really can't play at all...

So Mourinho replaced Ricardo and Alonso with Garay and Granero.

In Mourinho's heart, Granero and Garay are absolutely not important, they belong to the kind of people who can be sacrificed when necessary.

Of course, he doesn't want his players to be kicked off the field.Just comparing the two, Mourinho feels that it is still safe to let these players play the game. If there is an accident, it will not have a big impact on the team.

In the next game, the smell of gunpowder on both sides was very strong, and various big moves began to appear intensively.

In the end, the referee had to start using red cards to deter these red-eyed players. The game has completely changed. No one thinks this is a game. Fans who have watched this game will think it is an unlimited fighting contest.

Hercules midfielder Rufet was sent off for a tackle on Ozil, and Benzema was also sent off for a second yellow card for a retaliatory foul.It has to be said that it is really rare for a striker to be sent off. This also proves from another aspect how fierce this game is...

Both sides were sent off one person, which seems fair, but everyone who watched the game knows how bad the referee's performance was. He couldn't control the situation at the beginning, and he could only start dealing cards in the end. , which is a manifestation of a low level of business.

In the end, Real Madrid won the game with a score of 2:0.After Alonso and Ricciardo left the field, the score has not changed, because the minds of both sides are not on football, but on how to make the "boxing match" more intense.

Mourinho was very rare in the post-match press conference without attacking the referee: "...I don't want to comment on the referee on duty, because what he is doing, all the heat has seen it. I just want to say that my ball The team lost two main players, Alonso and Ricciardo, which is a very serious loss. And those who committed fouls, they remained on the field until the end of the game!"

He didn't attack the referee, but everyone could see his dissatisfaction with the referee and the Hercules team.

He did not spit directly at the referee because he considered that there would be more important games ahead.Four days later, he will face Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final. Although there is an obvious gap in strength between the two sides, if he, the head coach, is suspended for spitting at the referee and cannot command on the spot, then It is definitely a heavy blow to the morale of the team.

At such an important moment, Mourinho can still distinguish the priorities. No matter how much dissatisfaction and anger he has, he knows that everything is the overall situation.

For the championship, he can endure anything.
