Chapter 228: It's a Pity
The league has reached the twenty-second round. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the earliest game, Real Madrid narrowly defeated Celta Vigo 1-0 away with Raul's stunning goal.
Bosque even made early substitutions for three stars, including Zinedine Zidane and Raul, in this game, apparently saving for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final in midweek.
Deportivo La Coruna also rotated, beating Sevilla 1-0 away thanks to Mackay's goal.
Irueta also vowed that despite a 2-0 defeat at home, he was determined to turn the tables on the road.
This battle is not only to counterattack and enter the Copa del Rey final, but also to overturn the stereotype of Deportivo Away Bug in one fell swoop.
Atletico Madrid beat Villarreal 1-0 away.
Although it was also a narrow one-goal victory, the Sheets played more solidly and created more chances, but they didn't take them.
But no matter from which point of view, it is quite rare to be able to maintain the momentum of winning streak in continuous double-front combat.
Alaves and Valencia also won back-to-back, with the Bat Legion winning 1-0.
Only Barcelona, which was plagued by scandals, was beaten by Malaga at the Camp Nou by a goal, and the whole team performed extremely sluggishly.
The defeat also dropped Barcelona to ninth place in the league standings, and the anger of Camp Nou fans was even greater.
But not only that, Brazilian superstar Rivaldo also had a disagreement with the club, and for the transfer, there was a lot of trouble.
But at this critical moment, the sworn enemy Real Madrid stood up and fell into the ground.
General manager Baldano said in an interview with the media that Real Madrid are very interested in bringing in Rivaldo.
And this immediately caused indignation in the Catalan media and Barcelona fans, how can the Figo incident of a year and a half ago be repeated?
For a while, the media in Catalonia and Madrid were in a lot of noise.
It was in the midst of all the disruption that the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals quietly began.
With a two-goal lead and back to their home stadium, Atletico Madrid still played aggressively, launching a round of attacking after the opening.
Although he failed to score, this round of attacks disrupted Deportivo La Coruna's rhythm and achieved the tactical goal that Gao Han wanted.
The Sheets were still very patient after that, while Deportivo looked a little more impatient, and the two sides were deadlocked in Calderón for the entire first half.
But in the second half, Atletico Madrid suddenly launched a fierce attack.
Kaka and Deco combined deftly down the middle and Deco played a clever pass to Torres in the penalty area, who shook off Deportivo South Africa's South African centre-back Nabitt and calmly fired a shot through Molina's goal.
It was also the only goal of the game.
In the end, Atletico Madrid eliminated Deportivo La Coruna with an aggregate score of 3-0 and successfully entered the final.
Another match, played a day later, was also played at the Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid.
Before the game, the core management such as Florentino and Valdano successively issued orders to the team, requiring Real Madrid to reverse Athletic Bilbao at home no matter what, and must win this game and successfully advance to the final.
Bosque also lined up a very attacking 442 formation in this game.
It is worth mentioning that the substitute central defender Pavon rotated the veteran Hierro to start, partnering Karanka.
Real Madrid is determined to win, and Athletic Bilbao also knows the mentality of the opponent, so when playing away, Heynckes formulated a steady counterattack tactic, and the team was solid throughout the first half, without giving Real Madrid a chance.
The two sides played in full swing, Real Madrid was more and more fierce and very risky, but Athletic Bilbao never moved, and played a defensive counterattack with peace of mind, but played more threatening.
Seeing that the situation was gradually tilting in Athletic Bilbao's favor, at a critical moment, Athletic Bilbao's central defender Lalenza made a mistake at a critical moment and scored an own goal.
It was a goal that completely changed the course of the game.
Athletic Bilbao, who had the initiative, suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
Even if Heynckes was reluctant, he had to make adjustments at this time and start to fight back.
But seven minutes later, Raul's goal extended Real Madrid's lead further, and Guti's 75th-minute goal was a death sentence for Athletic Bilbao.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at home and eliminated the opponent with an aggregate score of 4-2.
At this point, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, the two rivals in the same city, will gather in the final of the Copa del Rey.

"Ahem, that's a shame!"
In the coach's office at Mahada Enda Sports City, after watching the match between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, the coaches of Atletico Madrid were all deploring the defeat of Athletic Bilbao.
This sigh was made by a young coach who was only 30 years old, Unai Emery.
He has been playing in the lower leagues before, but he taught himself coaching courses, and now he has obtained his coaching certificate, and recently wrote to Gao Han to hope that he will have the opportunity to learn at Atletico Madrid.
During the winter break, Gao Han and the club arranged for several coaches, including him, to come and study, and it was during this period that Unai Emery won the recognition of head coach Gao Han and was able to stay at Atletico Madrid.
For this, he even gave up his career early.
In his words, being able to study with Gao Han at Atletico Madrid is more meaningful than anything else.
"In this game, Heynckes' line-up and on-the-spot command were all impeccable, but Lalensa's own goal completely changed the situation on the field, which is a non-war crime. ”
Gao Han also felt sorry.
Heynckes, the manager, he has met several times, he is very impressed, he has a very deep understanding of football, has his own set of ideas and ideas, and more importantly, he does not have the arrogance of some veteran coaches.
Judging from the two-legged match, Heynckes has done quite well, but what can the manager do if the players make mistakes?
"In this way, our opponent in the final is Real Madrid. Cantarero said without worry.
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts.
Don't look at Atletico Madrid's three wins over Real Madrid this season, but the next fourth and fifth games in a row are held at the Bernabeu Stadium, especially the fifth Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid must be aiming to win.
This will be a big test for Atletico Madrid.
After hearing this, Gao Han saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, and understood in his heart that Atletico Madrid's rise this season was too fast and too sudden, and the mentality of everyone in the team could not keep up, so that now there is still a deep shadow on Real Madrid in his heart.
It's not something that can be erased with a three-game winning streak.
Perhaps, taking out the opponent in the final of the Copa del Rey and winning the championship in the opponent's ******** can be eliminated, but now......
"We should think the other way around, Real Madrid is not necessarily more difficult than Athletic Bilbao. ”
Speaking of this, Gao Han pointed to the TV and smiled confidently, "If we really meet this Athletic Bilbao team in the first half, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to be sure of winning the opponent, if they are more obscene, they will be dragged directly into the penalty shootout......"
After hearing Gao Han's words, everyone thought about it again, and it was indeed the case.
Athletic Bilbao has been trained by Heynckes to be an iron army, with a rough style of play, but not rough, and a fast transition between attack and defence, which is different from other teams in La Liga, which is very impressive.
"I think Mr. Gao Han is right, playing Real Madrid, we have a psychological advantage. Emery chimed in.
Gao Han nodded and looked at Emery approvingly, he could see this, this kid was a talent.
As a manager, he has a lot of potential and can be created in the future.
However, it always feels a bit ...... for a thirty-year-old guy to learn from his twenty-five-year-old self
"Two Champions League wins in three years, last season's league title, a star-studded squad, and rivals Barcelona in disarray, have made Real Madrid unprecedentedly confident, so they are so arrogant that they ask the Spanish Football Federation to schedule the Copa del Rey final at the Bernabeu in advance. ”
When Gao Han said this, his eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, "This is very arrogant in itself!"
Everyone nodded.
If not arrogant, who would dare to do that?
Isn't this clearly to tell the world that we are going to decide this championship?
Before the game is played, the championship is booked in advance, which is equivalent to roasting the whole team on the fire.
"If you think about it, in the second half of the first half, the mentality of the Real Madrid players was already a little out of control, and the fans at the Bernabeu couldn't sit still, and it was only the semi-finals, and it was really the final......
Gao Han snorted twice, but didn't say anything more, but the meaning was clear.
When it comes to the final, their mentality will be worse and more aggressive.
When everyone heard Gao Han's analysis, they couldn't help but light up in front of them.
They did only consider the strong side of Real Madrid and the advantage of playing at home before, but they didn't notice that, as Gao Han said, the bigger the ********, the more obvious the advantage of playing at home, and the greater the psychological pressure on Real Madrid.
On the contrary, it is the team that plays away from home, and when it comes to the final of the Copa del Rey, the away team has no psychological pressure and is more open.
In this situation, I am afraid it is difficult to say who has the advantage, right?
Gao Han saw that all the assistants reacted one after another, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"The fact that Real Madrid dared to schedule the Copa del Rey final on the day of ******** shows that they have made it clear that they do not have other La Liga rivals in mind. ”
When he said this, Gao Han raised his right hand and smiled confidently: "Then we don't mind, on behalf of the other teams in La Liga, challenge our Galaxy Battleship, and try if they are really as strong and invincible as they imagined!"
Everyone deeply felt the strong self-confidence in Gao Han, especially Emery, who was full of admiration. (To be continued.) )
