Dominate the Greenery

Chapter 374 The Protagonist
On April 4, the first match of the Champions League semi-final first leg will be held at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid, who just defeated Getafe in the league, began to devote themselves to the preparations for the Champions League. The goal of the Triple Crown has already reached a Copa del Rey. It seems that La Liga is only a matter of time. In this semi-final.

This is a Spanish civil war. Real Madrid's opponent is the yellow submarine Villarreal. Villarreal with Riquelme is definitely one of the few teams in La Liga that can bring real threats to Real Madrid.Although Judging from the combat record, Real Madrid has an absolute advantage, but now in the knockout round, no one can guarantee that any accident will happen.

Of course, judging from the adjustments made by major gaming companies to the winning odds, Real Madrid’s odds are currently 1, Barcelona’s is 73, AC Milan’s is 2, and Villarreal’s is 72. It reflects the strength of the four teams in the semi-finals. Everyone is optimistic about Real Madrid and Barcelona joining forces in the final.

Even so, few people dare to say that Real Madrid will definitely be able to eliminate their opponents.The real result can only be known at the end of the game.However, the players of each team are full of confidence in their own teams.

Not to mention the debate between Barcelona and Milan, in the eyes of Real Madrid generals, the game against Villarreal will not be too difficult.

"Our goal is to go to Paris. Villarreal are a respectable team, but we have an advantage over them. Although they have performed well over the years, they are not our opponents." May is Paris At the time of fashion week, this year will usher in a feast of football, no one wants to miss such a grand event, and Guti is not worried about his old opponent at all, he even began to look forward to the moment when he will lift the championship trophy.

"A lot of people are saying that our defense will have problems, but I want to say that our defense can stand the test. So far I have no plans to make any changes. We can beat them in the league. Then in the Champions League It’s the same.” Despite saying this, Carlo admitted: “The defense at any time needs the assistance of others. This is the performance that a team should have. Villarreal’s possession is very good. It affects our defensive options, but as long as we play smart, we can do our best."

Regarding his own defense, Carlo really has nothing to say. Everything can only be turned to the frontcourt. He hopes that Real Madrid's offense can hold the audience.

Compared with Real Madrid, Villarreal is actually more inclined to the style of South American teams. You must know that this team has five Argentine players, two Uruguayan players and one Bolivian player.

Among them, Riquelme, Fran and Sorin are considered the core and center of the team.

"Villarreal's style of play is very delicate, and the rhythm is relatively slow. They are always waiting for the moment when the opponent is negligent, so as to launch a fatal attack." Captain Raul is still relatively rational, he is not a foreigner Aggressive image, "I think we will have some difficulties against Villarreal. In the games against Arsenal and Juventus, we have dealt with the pressure well, so, although difficult, but We won't lose to them."

Today's Villarreal is a steady team. If Real Madrid wins "fast", then Villarreal this season is a representative of "slow".

"Real Madrid's speed is an unparalleled force. They swept the game like a hurricane. Every pass of theirs is overflowing with the beauty of speed. This is a kind of exquisite speed, fresh and clean." Real Madrid played a bit procrastinated in Taffy's game, but everyone knew that it was not the real Real Madrid.

Pellegrini's team will not admit defeat easily. The Champions League semi-final is the best result of the Yellow Submarine in the Champions League, but they still want to go further, "We can beat any opponent. In the Champions League , Anything can happen, Real Madrid does have the strength to surrender, but we will not be overwhelmed by his momentum, past history can't explain anything, we just need to play our own level."

"The Spanish Civil War is something Spanish fans don't want to see, but they have to face this situation. Real Madrid and Villarreal are very familiar with each other, but no matter how many times they play against each other, they need to study their opponents based on reality .”

Compared with the number of players that Villarreal needs to consider, Real Madrid is much easier here, and it is the same in the eyes of many people.Real Madrid only needs to control Riquelme well. Without Riquelme, Villarreal's level will be at least half.Although it is a bit exaggerated to say this, everyone knows that without Riquelme, Villarreal would never have the capital to fight against Real Madrid.

"He has a magic, he can control the ball wherever he wants, and when he wants to pass the ball, it is always accurate. We know he is the core of this team, but it is still difficult to imagine how to guard him. "Zidane said this when talking about Riquelme, and Gravesen, who will be suspended, said, "We need to limit Riquelme. As long as we trap him, we will win half of the game. "

For this game, Pellegrini has saved enough energy to play against Barcelona. Although they are not sure whether they can get the tickets for the next season's European war, Pellegrini has now turned all eyes. placed in the Champions League.

There is no doubt that Riquelme's prominence, Pellegrini chose to hide him, everyone can understand.But the result was not optimistic.

Few people in Real Madrid can compete this year, and there is really no need for Pellegrini to focus on the Champions League.Just in the middle, Pellegrini will never admit that he is a fan of the authorities.

Of course, the team absolutely supports Pellegrini's decision. No player can easily give up the glory of the Champions League. Many teams can even make a decision to exchange a few seasons for a season to shine.

Riquelme also supports Pellegrini's rotation policy in the league. He also hopes that he can have plenty of physical strength to deal with the Champions League. He even made no secret of his desire for the Big Ears Cup in the interview, "I hope I can Playing in the final of the Champions League. Real Madrid is a great team. We have played against each other many times. I know their strength. Zidane, Ronaldo and even Shrek are full of threats. It is true that they are more favored, but the game It's 11 against 11, no one side can say that they are sure to win. It's not that there are many people who are optimistic about Inter Milan's semi-finals, but we are the final winners, and the final result can only be determined in 180 It will be revealed after a few minutes of play."

As the absolute core of Villarreal, Riquelme's goals and assists this season are the highest in the team, and he has also contributed two goals and two assists in the Champions League.

The Bernabéu is no stranger to players who play in Spain. Apart from enduring the boos of the fans, there is no need to adapt to playing here. This is some of the advantages of the home team that can be weakened by the civil war.

Pellegrini will definitely stick to the team's established style, and with Real Madrid's attention, Riquelme is destined to become one of the protagonists.
