Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 500 No Suspense Champions League Final Four

Chelsea played several waves of offense with high spirits, posing a threat to Real Madrid's goal.
Real Madrid also played a few waves of attack, but broke Chelsea's goal.
This may be just a silhouette of the game, but it can also explain the efficiency gap between the two teams in offense on the one hand.

From the beginning to the present, Chelsea's possession rate, passing accuracy and shooting times are no worse than Real Madrid, but they failed to score a goal, while Real Madrid, which is still somewhat passive in the away game, scored two goals. This situation really made Chelsea players lose their fighting spirit to continue fighting.

How should the game continue?

After experiencing this goal, the Chelsea players were once again at a loss. After falling behind by four goals in two rounds, they didn't know how to play in order to win.

Now, Real Madrid already has two away goals in hand, which means that if Chelsea want to eliminate Real Madrid, they must score five goals!
Five goals! !
"...do we still have a chance of victory?"

This is a common question for Chelsea players. Wang Li's goal made almost all Chelsea people despair.

At this time, Mourinho who was standing on the sidelines secretly smiled bitterly. At this time, even he knew that the team must have lost. What is the difference between Chelsea and Real Madrid?Putting aside those arguments about tactics and style, the gap in scoring efficiency alone is too great.

Generally speaking, scoring efficiency has a lot to do with the state of the players on the field, but now the state of Chelsea players is not bad, and the ability of the players is generally not worse than that of Real Madrid players, so how does the gap in scoring efficiency widen? of?
At this time, Mourinho looked at the black-haired boy who raised his hands to greet all the fans at Stamford Bridge, and felt unwilling for a while. There is no doubt that it was this black-haired boy who caused the difference in scoring efficiency between the two teams. kid.

It's not that Real Madrid's scoring efficiency is too high, but the gap opened by this black-haired kid himself! !

Compared with the average stars on the field, the strength of this black-haired boy is at least one grade higher than them. If Mourinho can choose, let alone 3 million euros, even if it is 4 million or [-] million euros, he You must also hold such a player in your own hands, because such an opponent is really terrible.

Unfortunately, the club is not up to him to call the shots.

Although he had expected this result, Mourinho was still a little sad when he saw the '0:2' on the scoreboard. Strong, and losing so badly in the quarterfinals, no one will feel good.

Now, the first half is not over yet, but everyone knows that Chelsea will definitely lose. The difference lies in how to lose and how many goals will be lost in the end.

'Spanish derby'

At this time, many fans present thought of the Spanish Derby a few days ago. In that game, the black-haired boy scored five goals by himself. The final score was 8:0. Will Chelsea lose so badly?
No one knows what didn't happen, but the Blues fans definitely don't want to see this scene, because it would be a shame to them --- the defending champion was eliminated by 8 goals, what could be better than this more sarcastic?

What's even more ironic is that the player who scored the most goals was actually the backbone of the team last season.

At this moment, the Blues fans who previously supported Abramovich felt dissatisfied with the Russian, 'Why did you sell Allen?Is it just for money? '

Their thinking has undergone a transformation.

But no matter what, the game is not over yet. The two teams have only played for more than 30 minutes. The players of the Blue Army have to go through nearly an hour of baptism. As for what kind of baptism?No one can make it clear.

Perhaps, there are people who can choose, and that is the black-haired kid on the field. If he breaks out again, then Chelsea will definitely go through a painful game.

And if he shows mercy
Many Chelsea fans think so, but after experiencing the "worship" of the Blues fans, what does Wang Li think?

He was moved.

After three lifetimes, Wang Li's heart rarely has any special emotions. He just enjoys his new life and his own football in silence. This may be a bit selfish, but after two deaths, there is still What is more important than your own survival?
And now, the attitude of the Blues fans has moved him.

In the last season, Wang Li's efforts for victory were unanimously recognized by the fans. This made him even though he was in Real Madrid and was Chelsea's opponent, but the Blues fans still gave him applause in pain.

How deep is this recognition?

At least Blues fans don't see him as an enemy - even if he leaves, fans still hope that he can perform well.

Under such circumstances, how can Wang Li continue to hurt these lovely fans?He can't bear it anymore, maybe for Real Madrid, he should work hard to play football, win goals one by one, and make Real Madrid fans excited, but the consequence of doing so is to make Chelsea fans suffer, he really can't bear it.

However, as a professional player, can you be merciless in the game on the court?This is clearly unprofessional.

Although if Wang Li was merciful, no one would blame him, because he led Real Madrid to victory, but he couldn't pass the test in his heart.

These two contradictory ideas made Wang Li unable to make a decision for a while.

After a period of time, when he saw Chelsea players and Real Madrid players working hard, he finally thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

Wang Li's position was slightly retreated to really kick the midfielder and organize the offense for the team.

Neither Zidane nor Baptista played, the team's offensive organization is really poor, and Wang Li also wants to exercise his adaptability in this position, so he doesn't have many chances to shoot , but still working hard for the team.

This may have suspected Ah Q, but Wang Li felt that he was working hard anyway, and this kind of thinking allowed him to pass his own test.

After all, he has been working hard on the field.

Therefore, after the game restarted, it was difficult to see Wang Li in the frontcourt. Under normal circumstances, he played for his teammates in the midfield position, and when Chelsea attacked, he was always involved. The team's defense.

At this time, it reflects Wang Li's role in the midfielder position.

With Wang Li's effective interception, although Chelsea tried their best to save face, their offense has been difficult to fight. Wang Li's running speed and interception ability are too strong. In front of the Real Madrid penalty area, as long as Chelsea players have a little If there is a mistake, the football will often be intercepted by Wang Li, followed by Real Madrid's counterattack.

But most of the time, Wang Li seldom goes to anyone. He is more adapting to this position, observing the running positions of his teammates, and passing the ball to drive the offense of the entire Real Madrid.

And when he has a chance, he will also send a precise through pass to create opportunities for his teammates. If there is a difference from the previous game, it is that he does not actively look for shooting opportunities.

Without Wang Li's extraordinary performance, Chelsea's defense is much easier to do, but it is undeniable that other players in Real Madrid have more opportunities. At the end of the first half, Robinho alone won He had three chances to shoot, but unfortunately, the Brazilian kid hit two planes in a row. His only kick was within the range of the goal frame, and he couldn't kick it hard enough, so Thomas easily hugged him into his arms.

In this form, the first half is over.

Now the score on the field is 0:2, plus the 3:1 of the last match, that is to say, the total score has reached 5:1, Real Madrid leads by 4 goals and has one more away goal than Chelsea , if Chelsea want to win, they must score 5 goals in the second half, and they must not let Real Madrid score.

This goal is almost impossible to achieve.

Although this was at the Stamford Bridge Stadium, during the intermission, Mourinho did not cheer up the players, but only said one sentence: "We need to make efforts to save face."

This sentence already represents everything.

At Stamford Bridge, in front of tens of thousands of Blues fans, even if Chelsea loses, we must work hard to the end. This is not only for the fans and reporters, but also for the players themselves. As a Chelsea player, they have to go to the end.

Maybe Mourinho's words didn't put much pressure on the players, or maybe the players were very relaxed when it was impossible to win. In the opening stage of the second half, Chelsea's offense played very smoothly.

At the beginning of the second half, Michael Owen scored a goal for the team. This goal may be said to be a manifestation of Chelsea's overall strength. In the attack, the football passed through 14 kicks before it went straight to the center via Robben. With his own personal skills, Owen flashed past Ramos, volleyed vigorously, and finally pulled back a goal for Chelsea.

But after that, it became 'Real Madrid time' again. Under the leadership of Wang Li, Real Madrid launched waves of effective attacks. In the 61st and 75th minutes of the game, Robinho and David .Beckham scored a goal respectively, which added to the icing on the cake for Real Madrid. The score of this field became 1:4.

After that, although the two teams have been working hard, they still failed to score again. However, in the last minute of the game, Wang Li received a pass from outside the penalty area and shot a powerful long shot, scoring the final goal for the team. A goal is also his second goal of the game.

In the end, the game ended 1:5 under the lonely look of all the Blues fans. Although Wang Li's position was slightly retreated in the second half, Real Madrid still won by a big score.

Chelsea looked disappointed, they were eliminated, while Real Madrid held their heads high and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals.

After the game, Irving ran to Real Madrid's locker room to congratulate them on their promotion to the semi-finals and wish them the Champions League trophy. For Irving, some old players in Real Madrid are familiar, although Irving's performance in Real Madrid is not very good , but as an English player, he also inherited the good popularity of English players in Real Madrid.

After chatting with Real Madrid players for a while, before leaving, Irving still didn’t forget to take Wang Li’s sneakers for the game, and turned around with a smile: “These shoes can be sold for tens of thousands of euros, which is equivalent to my weekly salary. gone."

This sentence made Wang Li's face darken, and at the same time made the eyes of other Real Madrid teammates shine, so they began to look at Wang Li from all over, as if they were looking at a piece of gold.

Under such eyes, Wang Li put on a bath towel and went straight into the bathroom to take a shower vigilantly. He didn't want to become a humanoid treasure.

After that, Carlos asked with a smirk: "Do you know what is the most valuable thing in Allen?"

Facing everyone's interested eyes, Carlos said wretchedly: "See? When he walked into the bathroom just now, the bath towel he was wearing must have sold for a lot of money. It was the clothes that wrapped Alan's entire body every day. I I think those female fans will like it."

Hearing this, the eyes of the teammates around him lit up, but when Wang Li got dressed, he found that his bath towel was missing.This bath towel is not a one-time bath towel provided by the team, but Angela bought it for him, and he has used it for a month.

Maybe, he can see his bath towel on the gossip news the next day
This is just an episode within the Real Madrid players. The important thing is that Real Madrid reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

After the game, Wang Li followed Carlo to the press conference.

The reporters are still looking forward to the press conference. Before the game, the atmosphere of the two teams was very dull, and there was very little news to report. Now that Real Madrid has won Chelsea, maybe they can look forward to the black-haired kid mocking Mourinho. Ao's farce, as the winner, this black-haired boy has the right to satirize his opponent, and according to what the reporters know about him, he will not "show mercy".

Unfortunately, they were disappointed.

At the press conference, Carlo, who was the winner, said that Real Madrid's victory was related to luck. He cited two examples of Chelsea's shots hitting the goalposts to confirm this point of view, and claimed that "this is a game. Wonderful game, Real Madrid won, but I also admire the perseverance of the Chelsea people, they are also very tenacious in the situation of defeat, which fully demonstrated the demeanor of a rich team."

After that, Mourinho's performance was also very calm. He just emphasized that "Chelsea has shown its strength" and praised Real Madrid's performance. He also praised Wang Li, who scored two goals in this game.

The two head coaches were speaking the official language, and the reporters were almost falling asleep. At this time, they put their last hope on Wang Li, and they hoped that Wang Li could spit out some explosive news.

But Wang Li only said lightly: ".It feels good to be back at Stamford Bridge again. London is my hometown, and Mr. Mourinho has helped me a lot. I only wish Chelsea can achieve success this season. Good results."

All three of them had this attitude, which made the press conference a little cold.

However, at the end the reporters captured a touching scene, because at the end of the press conference, Wang Li and Mourinho hugged each other at the door.

Although the two were stuttering before the game, in fact, the two had no conflicts, and they had cooperated with each other for a season, and their relationship was very good.

Although Wang Li complained about Chelsea selling him to Real Madrid, he also knew that Mourinho would definitely not be able to decide his transfer. After all, which coach would not want to take all the talented players under his command?
This is the case in European football. The feng shui takes turns. Last season's dominant Chelsea was eliminated, and now the feng shui has become Real Madrid.

The reason for saying this is that on the second day, the quarter-finals of the Champions League were all over, and the results of the four matchups were far beyond the expectations of the media.

First of all, what surprised the Spanish media the most is that Barcelona, ​​which was the most promising before the Champions League, encountered Waterloo at the Nou Camp. Perhaps the 8:0 in the Spanish Derby completely overwhelmed the fighting spirit of the players. In this game, Barcelona's performance was a mess, so Benfica scored two goals in a row in the first half.

Although Barcelona stabilized their formation in the second half and pulled back a goal in the 75th minute, in the end, they still failed to score until the end of the game. Barcelona really encountered Waterloo, and they were eliminated by Benfica.

What surprised the Spanish media was that another small team, Villarreal, defeated Inter Milan in a difficult situation and entered the semi-finals of the Champions League. This is really a surprise, although the strength of Inter Milan in recent years Not strong, and they have repeatedly hit the wall in Serie A, but anyway, they are also a giant in Europe, and their performance in the international arena is still very strong.

Now, they were eliminated by Villarreal.

Regarding this result, the attitude of the neutral media is indifferent. As expected, Spain’s Real Madrid and Barcelona can join hands to enter the Champions League semi-finals, but now it’s just replacing Barcelona with Villarreal. Spain is also The difference between the two teams advancing to the semi-finals is not very big.

The Real Madrid media is very happy, they are very happy to see Barcelona encounter Waterloo, they are eager to see more jokes about Barcelona.

In another game, Lyon defeated Juventus 4:3 in two rounds and also advanced to the semi-finals. In this way, the semi-finals of this year's Champions League are finally released. Real, Ligue [-] giants Lyon and Portuguese giants Benfica.

Seeing this result, many betting companies in Europe closed their bets on Real Madrid winning the Champions League within an hour. In most people's eyes, there is no suspense about Real Madrid winning the Champions League.
