The first round of the Champions League quarter-finals is over.

APOEL 0:5 Real Madrid.

Marseille 0:2 Bayern Munich.

Benfica 0:1 Chelsea.

AC Milan 0:1 Barcelona.

In the first round, all the home teams lost.

It also shows the dominance of these European giants in the Champions League.

The best performance in the first round is undoubtedly Real Madrid, who defeated APOEL with almost no suspense through strong control of the game.

In addition, Bayern Munich scored one goal in each of the first and second half of the match against Marseille.

Although the number of goals was not large, Bayern Munich's performance throughout the game was also very good.

"This season, Bayern Munich is not easy to play!"

Mourinho looked at the result and frowned slightly.

In the past, German teams were all a group of rough teams with poor skills.

But with the display of youth training results, a large number of technical players came into being, resulting in today's Bayern Munich not only taking into account the tough and fierce bombing ability, but also having enough footwork to control the situation.

For example, in the first round of this Champions League knockout match, Bayern Munich used Schweinsteiger, Kroos, and Vukojevic as the midfield. In the 65th minute of the second half, they cooperated with the midfield and frontcourt to pass the ball 15 times in a row and finally broke through Marseille's goal.

Throughout the whole process, Marseille was almost led by the nose and kicked dizzy.

After a sudden change of rhythm, Toni Kroos made a diagonal pass to find Ribery accurately. After the front trident passed the ball three times, Robben cut inside and scored the second goal.

This goal fully demonstrated Bayern Munich's ability in the technical field.

"I remember that the Bundesliga was the first league to lift the restrictions on foreign players?" Faria said.

Mourinho nodded: "They completely lifted the restrictions on foreign players after 2006, and replaced it with a way to ensure local training of players! At first it was a 2+2 policy! Now it is a 4+4 policy."

"2+2 Policy": The first team is guaranteed to have 4 players aged 15-21 who have played for their own club for at least three seasons or 36 months, of which at least 2 players are from the team's youth training (regardless of nationality), that is, the 2+2 policy.

Later it developed into 4+4, that is, 4 locally trained players and 4 players trained by the club.

It can be said that with the support of these policies, a large number of emerging German technical players such as Thomas Muller, Gotze, and Toni Kroos began to emerge.

At the same time, in order to increase the competitiveness of the league, the relaxation of foreign aid restrictions also allowed excellent foreign players such as Vukojevic and Mandzukic to enter the local league.

Of course, they are not considered foreign players. After all, Croatia has entered the European Union in 2009 and is not restricted by the rules of non-EU foreign players.

"Then the Champions League semi-finals may be Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Chelsea?"

"Among them, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are the most difficult to play!"

Faria said.

Mourinho nodded: "Prepare well! It is likely that we will play against these two teams in the semi-finals and finals!"

In the training ground, Suker and others were also discussing the Champions League.

"Chelsea seems to be getting better and better!"

"Very resilient!"

"But they are still so close to Benfica. In the Champions League semi-finals, it will be difficult for them to compete with other teams, right?"

Suker listened to his teammates' statements and was full of emotion.

Chelsea is definitely the biggest boss this season!

The last carnival of these old boys is not so easy to take over.

Although Chelsea and Benfica played back and forth, they did not highlight too many characteristics.

But the problem is that this Chelsea has highlighted a characteristic of "strong against strong teams and weak against weak teams" this season!

They played a close game with Benfica!

They will also play a close game with Barcelona!

According to the original time and space, Chelsea stepped on Barcelona and Bayern Munich to finally reach the top of the Champions League. When almost no one was optimistic, they reached the top of the Champions League.

Especially when playing against Barcelona, ​​Chelsea won the first round and forced Guardiola to come up with a non-traditional formation of 3-3-1-3 in the second round, highlighting one to pass the ball to Messi.

But at home, Chelsea was tied by Chelsea and eventually lost the ticket to the Champions League final.

In the final, they also fought with Bayern Munich for 120 minutes and finally won the penalty shootout.

These "old boys" have experience, technology and mentality.

They are especially good at prolonging the game time and then defeating you with sufficient experience.

So, facing this Chelsea, you have to knock it down with one stick.

At the beginning of the game, you have to fight with their defense line and don't give them any breathing time.

Once they have a breath, they will use their rich experience to eat away at the rhythm little by little like an old man practicing Tai Chi, and then slowly turn the game into a situation that is beneficial to them.

Chelsea in the 2011/2012 season really demonstrated the "older club becomes more powerful" version.

There is also a key problem, just like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all regard each other as hunting targets to reach the top.

They did not pay too much attention to Chelsea.

The three parties fought to the death, exposing various tactics and background, and Chelsea made a fortune silently.

But before the final, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid fought fiercely for 120 minutes. Although they won the penalty shootout, the defense was almost defeated by Real Madrid.

This makes there even less hope of victory.

Suker also admires the Chelsea club very much.

After Villas-Boas's radical transformation, the team was brought back from the brink at the end of the season, and the little-known Italian head coach Di Matteo took office.

Just like the saying of 'Forrest Gump', life is like chocolate, you never know what the next piece will taste like.

Since then, Chelsea has returned to hardcore football, first defeating Naples and then fighting Barcelona.

Ronaldinho's dry land pulling onions, Essien's iron tree blooming, Terry's own goal, Eto'o's fatal blow.

After too many grievances, this showdown began.

But the result was like Mourinho’s words: ‘We have never lost against Barcelona with eleven men’.

Drogba's anger!

Barak's roar!

The Stamford Bridge tragedy did not happen again, and they did taste the purest and sweetest piece of chocolate in life.

At this moment, Chelsea can truly be called the ‘Iron-Blooded Blues’!

"Hey! Suk!"

Kaka shook Suk, who came back to his senses.

"We should go, training is over!" Kaka pointed to the door.

Suk stood up slowly, with a hint of tenacity in his eyes.

Chelsea is certainly worthy of admiration, but this season, Real Madrid will not be defeated in the semifinals.

Suk clenched his fist hard.

One game at a time, win them all!

On April 5, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid faced APOEL at home.

With a 5-goal win away from home, Real Madrid almost got a ticket to the semifinals.

But in this game, Real Madrid was still launching an offensive frenzy.

Suker on the left wing became the focus of the game. He repeatedly broke through with the ball and shot accurately in front of the penalty area, constantly creating goals for Real Madrid.

In the first half, Suker scored two goals for Real Madrid, completely widening the score gap.

At the same time, Suker once again topped the Champions League scorer list with 15 goals.

With a total difference of 7 goals in the two rounds, APOEL lost their fighting spirit and morale, and the following time was almost garbage time for them.

They couldn't hope for seven goals in a row in the second half.

This is also true. In the 55th minute, Mourinho took Suker and Benzema off the field to prepare for the next more important game.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated APOEL 8-0 in two rounds.

They entered the Champions League semi-finals with a crushing attitude and became one of the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Followed by Bayern Munich 2:0 Marseille.

Barcelona 3:1 AC Milan!

Chelsea 2:1 Benfica.

All the Champions League semi-finals have been produced, and the lineup of the Champions League semi-finals has also been announced.

Real Madrid VS Bayern Munich!

Chelsea VS Barcelona!

Starting from this link, the strong dialogue of the Champions League officially begins.

Especially the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

One is the Galactic Battleship ravaging Europe!

One of the two is Bayern Munich, the southern king of the Bundesliga!

The direct dialogue between these two teams attracted the attention of countless people.

Real Madrid's performance is very strong, and Bayern Munich also showed an amazing performance in the Champions League this season.

The direct dialogue between these two teams caused huge discussions across Europe.

"Who do you think can win between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich?"

Manchester City, Ronaldo looked at the match list and various data in his hand and couldn't help but ask Modric.

"I have no idea!"

Modric shook his head: "Bayern Munich is certainly strong, but Suker"

Hearing this, Ronaldo couldn't help but grin.

Real Madrid is secondary, but Suker's dominance in the Champions League is too scary.

With the honor of winning the Champions League three times, Suker has almost an unsolvable problem after entering the semi-finals.

If Bayern Munich wants to defeat Real Madrid, it must solve the problem of Suker.

But this is the problem of the century!

"Bayern Munich and Jazz are still negotiating about your offer." Modric looked at Ronaldo and said, "You don't seem to be in a hurry at all!"

Ronaldo shrugged, Ferguson had made it clear to him.

Moreover, he was also willing to believe Ferguson.

Ferguson is almost like a football father to Ronaldo.

If he wanted Ronaldo to stay at Manchester United, Ferguson would not continue to contact Bayern Munich.

And Ronaldo also learned some information from Mendes.

Ferguson is actively helping himself to gain some interests in Bayern Munich. Although this is advocated by Mendes, it is all Ferguson's intention.

So from Ronaldo's perspective, it is a good thing that Bayern Munich lost.

Because this will give him more chips and more initiative.

"There has been a lot of discussion in the locker room recently about your departure," Modric said.

Ronaldo: "Is it Wayne? He thinks I'm a coward and wants to escape Manchester United, right?"

Modric nodded; "Yes! But these are Rooney's and others' thoughts. People like Giggs understand you very well."

In fact, Giggs and others feel a little guilty about Ronaldo.

Especially Ferdinand, Vidic and others.

Ronaldo helped Manchester United score eight goals in the group stage.

He scored eight goals alone, but United still failed to advance to the knockout rounds.

The reason is simple, the defense conceded too many balls.

Therefore, they have no objection to Ronaldo's departure.

Even if they are a forward, they score goals in front of them, and their defenders keep losing the ball, their mentality will collapse.

Moreover, they also know very well what the current situation of Manchester United is.

Ronaldo has gradually reached his peak period. This period of time is extremely important for Ronaldo.

If he fails to make good use of this peak period, he will completely lose the chance to compete with Suker and Messi.

Just like Ferguson said, they also believe that Ronaldo deserves a Ballon d'Or.

"Hey~~~"

Ronaldo sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!"

After that, he looked at Modric and said, "What about you? You really don't want to go to Bayern Munich?"

Modric shrugged: "I said, I will not leave Manchester United until Jazz retires!"

Modric is very grateful to Ferguson.

When he first joined Manchester United, he taught him how to play football and constantly emphasized Modric's tactical positioning.

He needs resources for resources, he needs tactical status for tactical status, and even serves as the core midfielder of a wealthy team at a young age.

It can be said that Modric's positioning is the foundation for Manchester United to build the team.

From some perspectives, he is more important than Ronaldo.

Ronaldo decides the upper limit!

Modric decided to lower the limit!

Once Modric leaves, Manchester United's midfield will be in chaos, and the team will inevitably sink quickly.

Modric didn't want Ferguson to suffer these humiliations in his later years.

In addition, he is not as anxious as Ronaldo. He does not need to compete with Suker and Messi, so there is nothing wrong with staying for a while.

"Let's watch the Champions League semi-finals together then. I'm also very curious about what kind of performance Suker will perform in the Champions League semi-finals." Ronaldo said.

April 15th, the 31st round of La Liga.

Mallorca hosts Real Madrid.

Mallorca is on the verge of relegation at this time, so they attach great importance to this game.

Even if you can't win the game, you still have to get a point for the tie.

To this end, Mallorca deployed a 5-4-1 intensive defensive iron barrel formation.

Goalkeeper: Rajkovic.

Defenders: Maffeo, Gonzalez, Railo, Nastasic, Tony Lafa.

Midfielder: Sanchez, Moranes, Sam Costa, Dani Rodriguez.

Forward: Muric.

"damn it!!"

Suker passed the ball out, looked at the dense defensive players in Mallorca's penalty area, and couldn't help but curse.

At this juncture, what the hell are you going to do for me?

Suker has now scored 49 goals in 30 league rounds.

The goal in this game will lay the key to his 50 mark.

But Mallorca had no choice but to adopt a dense defensive formation.

Nine defenders!

There are people in the penalty area and there is no shooting angle at all.

Mourinho looked at the situation off the court and made substitutions directly.

In the 31st minute, Benzema came off the field and Di Maria came on.

Di Maria came on the court and immediately found Suker.

"The coach wants you to play center"

Di Maria began to explain the next tactics.

These are all tricks to break through dense defense.

First: Cross from the wing, high ball!

Second: Long shot from the front!

Third: Get into the penalty area and take a penalty kick!

It can be said that Mourinho placed Suker in the most threatening and easiest position to score goals.

And after creating points, Su Ke is also the first free throw shooter.

Suk turned to look at Mourinho and gave him a thumbs up from afar.

"Mourinho made a substitution and put Suker at the center position. Obviously this was a lineup change Mourinho made intentionally. He also wanted to help Suker break through 50 goals!"

Suk stood in front of the penalty area and took a deep breath.

Next, he will transform into a humanoid bomber!

Suk directly replaced various cards that were beneficial to confrontation, making himself a battering ram.

This will be beneficial to the subsequent hand-to-hand combat!

After Su Ke entered the penalty area, the two wingers Di Maria and Bell also kept taking the ball.

Su Ke was also engaged in fierce physical confrontation with the opponent's defender.

However, due to the difference in numbers, Su Ke is not so easy to compete for the top spot.

Secondly, from the outside positions, Kaká and Alonso are also constantly trying long-range shots.

When the full-backs press forward, Di Maria, Bale, Kaká and others are also constantly driving towards the penalty area.

They also know very well what this game means to Suker.

Therefore, he also wants to help Su Ke unlock the record of 50 goals.

Real Madrid began to effectively target intensive defensive tactics.

Under the bombardment throughout the first half, Mallorca was still shaky despite defending.

In the second half, Mallorca made direct substitutions and once again added defensive strength to the back line.

The second round of hand-to-hand combat between the two teams began.

As Mallorca's physical strength declined, they also began to block Real Madrid's long shots.

The game time unknowingly came to the 80th minute.

Real Madrid got a frontal set-piece opportunity.

This position was already within Suker's range.

"Here you go!"

Kaka handed the ball to Suker without hesitation.

Suker held the ball and put it on the penalty spot.

"Suker is about to take a penalty. Can he score this goal and reach the record of 50 goals in a single season!"

Gonzalez also looked over expectantly.

In Mallorca's home stadium, the fans held their breath.

Suker stood at the penalty spot, he took a deep breath, looked towards the goal, and started suddenly.

Suker's whole body stretched abnormally, and at the moment of touching the ball, he hooked his foot and leaned forward.

"Far point!"

The goalkeeper made a quick judgment and moved his feet to the right.

But the ball did draw a strange arc and fell to the left near point.

At this time, the Mallorca goalkeeper could no longer adjust his center of gravity.

He could only turn his head and watch the ball go into the goal.

In the 81st minute, Suker scored a free kick.

In the 31st round of the 2011/2012 La Liga season, Suker officially broke the record of 50 goals in a single season!
