Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 514 League Championship
The semi-finals of the Champions League are over and it's Real Madrid and Lyon who will make it to the final, regardless of what other teams think, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Although many countries have nothing to do with this Champions League final, their media still paid great attention to this game, because it will be the highest level of football in the world.

Wars between Spain and France really rarely happen. Many people may think that the Ligue [-] teams are not strong, but Lyon's strength is undeniable.

For this final, many people are not optimistic about Lyon, but in fact Lyon's current form is more favorable than Real Madrid, because they have already won the league championship, the whole team has no pressure from top to bottom, and they are completely preparing for the Champions League final.

At present, for Real Madrid, the most important thing is of course to catch up with Lyon's footsteps --- to win the Spanish League One!

This may be a blow to Barcelona, ​​because after this period of games, Real Madrid has pulled down Barcelona by 10 points. With four rounds left in the league, as long as Real Madrid can win the next game, then they will win the next game. Able to win the league championship three rounds ahead of schedule.

As Real Madrid's biggest opponent, Barcelona led almost half of the schedule at the beginning of the league. A group of Catalan journalists have been ruthlessly satirizing Real Madrid, but now the situation is completely reversed. Real Madrid leads Barcelona by 10 points. Any chance to catch up.

This silenced all the Catalan media.

What can they say?

Now almost all the Spanish media are on the side of Real Madrid, cheering and cheering for them, but the Catalan fans don't like the reports of Real Madrid, they don't like to see the opponent's face of victory, so these media Can only be silent.

Maybe they are not silent, they occasionally report on Lyon's strength to tell Barcelona fans that it is not easy for the team in the capital to win the European championship.

Yes, the hatred between the two teams is that deep.

But in fact, these are the unique temperament of selfish and jealous Catalans.

If Barcelona stands on Real Madrid's point of view, then although Madrid fans will be dissatisfied with Real Madrid's results, they definitely still hope that the Spanish team will win the championship, even if it is a deadly rival team. It's just internal competition, all Spanish teams, of course they support their own teams.

But this does not apply to Barcelona. They even hope that Lyon will win the championship, and they don't want Real Madrid to win the championship. This is the psychological gap between the fans of the two teams.

This point can also be reflected from a historical perspective-the unforgettable hatred between Real Madrid and Barcelona was completely provoked by Barcelona unilaterally.

But no matter what the Barcelona fans think, the league will continue. On May [-], Real Madrid will face Villarreal at home.

The Spanish media gave this game another meaning. This is not only a game where Real Madrid is expected to win the championship in advance, but if Villarreal enters the Champions League final, this is also the contact between the two teams before the final, so Before the game, the media was very hyped. They were not optimistic about Real Madrid's easy victory, mainly because Villarreal had been eliminated in the Champions League, and they put all their minds on the league.

In the league, their position is not stable. The next few league games are likely to determine which team can enter the Champions League next season. Any point is extremely important for Villarreal.

"We will do our best to play!"

On the day before the start of the game, that is, on April [-], Villarreal's coach Manuel Pellegrini said in an interview with reporters: "They are very strong! They beat us very easily last time. But they have the Champions League final to play and they dare not fight. On the contrary, we dare to fight, even at the Bernabeu, it is not easy for them to win!"

This is what Pellegrini said, and I have to say, what he said makes sense.

Real Madrid really didn't dare to fight, they didn't want the players to have any damage before the big game, and now they have pulled down Barcelona by 10 points, even if they lose all the last few games in the league, they still have a great chance of winning the league championship.

Perhaps this kind of thinking is a bit biased, but it is the case, and Carlo also thinks so. Although he thinks it is better to win the league championship at home, it is obviously not as important as the players' bodies.If Villarreal really fights together, Real Madrid is not very easy to play, especially if one of the main players is injured, it will really not be worth the candle.

At this time, the atmosphere inside Real Madrid is very relaxed, at least before the Champions League final, their pressure is very small.

For Real Madrid, the league championship has almost been booked by them. Unless there is a special miracle, it is impossible for Barcelona to surpass them. At this time, many players have begun to look forward to how to celebrate the league championship after the game.

Under such circumstances, Real Madrid finally ushered in a home game against Villarreal.

As expected by the media, when the two teams played, Carlo arranged a substitute lineup to cope with the game. Seeing this scene, the Villarreal players were of course happy. What made them most happy was , Real Madrid's No. 21 black-haired kid sat on the bench, and he didn't play the game. In this way, their football will be much easier.

".It's really a pity to write. It seems that Carlo doesn't pay much attention to the game. Allen is not in the starting lineup. In fact, although this game is related to Real Madrid's league championship, they still have many opportunities. They are not afraid of failure. .”

"However, I think Real Madrid fans would like to see Real Madrid win the league at home and I hope Villarreal will lose."

"But by the looks of it, Villarreal are doing well, they."

Just as the commentator imagined, it seems that it was specially designed to create suspense for the championship. Facing Real Madrid's substitute lineup, Villarreal's performance was extremely strong, and they scored a goal for Real Madrid in the opening game. rare.

"Oh, my God! The goal was scored! It was Diego Forlan, the star of Villarreal who scored a goal for the team!"

'Never underestimate Diego Forlan', this is a phrase often said by fans in the Villarreal area now!

Diego Forlan is a player from Uruguay. He was born in a football family. His grandfather Juan Carlos Collazo played for the Argentine Independiente Team and was a midfielder in the 20s. His father, Pablo Franco Lan was one of the members of the Uruguayan national football team that participated in the 30 World Cup. He played for Sao Paulo and Pennero. The two uncles were also idol stars who played for the big Argentine teams.

This kind of background allowed Forlan to grow up in a football environment since he was a child, but in three seasons at Manchester United, he only scored 10 goals, which made the Manchester media call him a waste material.However, after coming to Spain, he scored 25 goals in his first season at Villarreal, surpassing Eto'o to become the top scorer in La Liga!
Facts have proved that Forlan is more suitable for La Liga, he is a genius.

Fran and Wang Li's growth process has always intersected, and the two also have some sympathy for each other. When Wang Li was in the Wolverhampton youth team, Fran was in the Manchester United youth team. Wang Li's first match since his debut , I had a fight with Fran.

And in that season, Wang Li landed in the Premier League, Fran was also promoted to Manchester United's first team, and the two played against each other again.

Now, Wang Li has come to Spain, and Fran arrived a year earlier than him, but this does not prevent the two from playing against each other.

Although Wang Li was not on the court, when Fran celebrated his goal, he still glanced at him. Wang Li also smiled and waved to him, saying hello and congratulating him on his goal.

Now they are opponents on the court, but for Wang Li, these small details don't matter at all. Real Madrid and Villarreal don't have any hatred. Even if the opponent scores a goal, it's okay, isn't it?

And he wasn't there, and it had nothing to do with him.

After this little episode passed, the game started again, perhaps because the disadvantage just now made the players on the Real Madrid field dissatisfied. They felt that the performance gap with the main team was too big.For the team's victory and for the post-match championship, their performance is getting better and better, and they have also shown an aura of daring to fight, which makes Villarreal's advantage a little bit Cannibalized.

Soon, as Real Madrid's turnovers decreased, the two teams played an even game on the court!
The game gradually became exciting. Before the intermission, although the two teams did not score any more goals, the fans in the audience watched mesmerized. This kind of stalemate and attacking with all their strength is indeed rare, especially It is the current Real Madrid. When Wang Li came on the field, the opponents almost all defended with all their strength, and the game became a one-sided offensive drill.

Although Wang Li's performance has always been the highlight of the game, in fact, the overall enjoyment of the game has declined.

But now, the confrontation between the two teams on the field is indeed worthy of the tickets in the hands of the fans. Until the halftime break, they didn't feel that they were talking about the chances of the first half, the performance of the players, and so on.

During the halftime break, Carlo didn't explain much, but let the players on the field perform well and strive to win for the team, while Wang Li was still sitting on the bench waiting for the opportunity.

However, Wang Li felt that if the substitute team did not score any more goals, Carlo would probably send him on the field.

The importance of this game to Real Madrid can be imagined. Although Carlo does not want anyone in the team to be injured, victory is of course what Real Madrid wants to see.Now that the full bench lineup is on the field, if the team is unilaterally suppressed and Villarreal scored 2,3 or [-] goals in the first half, then Real Madrid will directly give up hope of victory and wait for the next league game.

However, Real Madrid was only one goal behind. If it was still like this in the second half, after Wang Li came on the field, if he scored two casually, the team would win and win the league championship trophy.

That's what Carlo thinks.

"Scoring two casually" seems unbelievable to other players, but Carlo thinks that as long as this black-haired kid plays, the chances of scoring are very high. Even if he can't beat Villarreal, he can tie the score Still no problem.

If Wang Li knew that the head coach had such confidence in him, I don’t know what he would think. In fact, even he himself did not have such strong confidence. After all, he needs a chance to score goals. If there is no chance, no matter how he plays , It is also impossible to score.

The second half of the game began.

And its development situation is beyond everyone's expectations, at least beyond Carlo's expectations.

The game had just started, and Villarreal launched a massive attack, which seemed to widen the score gap. Obviously, they were also afraid that Real Madrid would send other main players to the field to change the form of the game.Only by widening the score gap first will there be a better chance of winning.

However, football games are not deterministic, and Villarreal's massive attack does not mean that they will definitely score.

So, 7 minutes into the second half, Roberto Carlos took advantage of a free kick and scored a powerful long-range shot to equalize the score for Real Madrid!

"Goooooooooooooal!!!Robert~~~Carlos!!!!!!"

This goal made all the Real Madrid fans throughout the Bernabeu cheer, because they saw the hope of Real Madrid's victory.

And the head coach Carlo did not disappoint the expectations of the fans. His dull face finally showed a smile. He also saw the hope of victory, so he turned to look at Wang Li and motioned for him to play. Contest.

Obviously, Carlo wanted to take advantage of the scoring opportunity to open up the score.

This sudden change in the situation on the field made Villarreal completely uncomfortable. Just now, they wanted to widen the score gap and win an absolute victory, but it seems that now Real Madrid is going to launch a large-scale attack !
The No. 21 black-haired kid is here! !
This scene made Villarreal's head coach Pellegrini almost vomit blood in depression. Just now, he thought that Villarreal would win the game easily, but seeing Real Madrid's appearance, But it also looks like a sure winner——
"How to fight next?"

Pellegrini was not sure at all. Before the game, he didn't think about this issue at all, because he thought that Wang Li would not play, but now that Wang Li played, his heart immediately became confused.

"Attack! Attack!"

Pellegrini stood on the sidelines and waved his hands and said, but in fact, the game has not started yet, Real Madrid is still celebrating the goal, and even Wang Li has not been allowed to play, Pellegrini waved his hand twice to realize this Question, he walked back to the coach's bench with some embarrassment, and greeted the puzzled eyes of the substitute players.

Wang Li did not live up to the expectations of the fans. With Villarreal in disarray, he took advantage of a powerful long-range shot in the 3rd minute of the game to overtake the score for Real Madrid.

"Goooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!"

The commentator shouted: "Alan! Alan! He is the king of the Bernabéu, and he can score goals as soon as he plays!"

"This is his 46th goal in La Liga this season. He is the league's top scorer without a doubt! You know, in the first 16 rounds of the league, Allen didn't even participate in it!!"

"It's Alan's goal after goal that led Real Madrid to victory. I want to evaluate the performance of this half season. We can add the word 'great' to Alan's name. No one will doubt it. !!"

Although what the on-site commentator said was very exciting and the cheers of the fans were extremely violent, in fact, Wang Li didn't feel much. This kind of goal is of little significance. It's just a league goal, and there is nothing worth celebrating .

However, seeing the fans celebrating so violently, he couldn't act too casually, so he also raised his hand and waved towards the stands, and then hugged and celebrated with his teammates.

2:1, Real Madrid leads the score.

Just when the game had just restarted, there was a sudden burst of cheers from the Bernabéu stadium, and the cheers immediately rang out. Riquelme, who just got the ball, felt a little baffled. Could it be that the Real Madrid fans would still cheer for him?

This is of course impossible.

The fans cheered because in the simultaneous Barcelona away game against Celta, Celta scored and the score became 1:0, and Barcelona fell behind by one away goal!
What does this mean?
If Barcelona lose, even if Real Madrid lose the game, they can still win the league title, which is indeed something to celebrate.Soon, the players on the field also knew about it, because during a throw-in, some fans talked about it loudly to Wang Li.

"Don't think about that, we just have to play well."

Barcelona's backwardness made Real Madrid players breathe a sigh of relief. Now all forms are beneficial to Real Madrid. They have reason to relax. However, Wang Li still reminds everyone to play well. No matter how Barcelona plays, as long as we win the game , then the champion is ours.

If you win the championship after a loss, then there may be some regrets. Wang Li didn't want to do this, so he worked harder in the subsequent games.

This made Villarreal hit by waves of attack.

As a result, Villarreal's offense could no longer be played. In the 77th and 79th minutes of the game, Wang Li made two consecutive long shots and scored all of them, rewriting the score to 4:1. Shooting three goals, in this game, the fans also saw the power of the black-haired boy's long-range shots on the field again.

Although Villarreal pulled back a goal before the end of the game, this has been unable to change their fate of losing.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Real Madrid players all jumped up and cheered for victory. They had a reason to do so because the league title already belonged to Real Madrid.

This is their second heavyweight title of the season and Real Madrid's No.30 La Liga title.

"No. 30 league championships!!"

After cheering the victory, in the dressing room of Real Madrid, Carlo said to the players: "This is the No. 30 league championship, which is very meaningful. You must be very excited, but what I want to say is that we should look Let's look at the next champion!! The Triple Crown is our pursuit!"
