Chapter 232: The Clarity of the League
"I'm sorry, I don't think your left foot is very comfortable, I hope it's not too much of a problem, you're the best goalkeeper I've ever seen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After the game, Liu Han came to Kahn's side to apologize, and he did take advantage of Kahn's left foot problem to score in the game.
"You're very good, young man, no need to apologize, the game is the battle, and I wish you the championship in advance."
Compared to the imposing Kahn in the game, Kahn looked calm after the game, after all, he has been through a lot, and a stable mentality is the most needed quality for a goalkeeper.
Kahn is also optimistic about Liu Han, a rare Asian player in Europe who has refreshed his perception of Asians, with strong physical fitness, excellent technique, and a very keen sense, this is a young man who will achieve great things.
Bayern and Real Madrid, both of which have achieved remarkable results in recent years, but unfortunately, they both ended up at the feet of the Premier League teams, Bayern fell to Manchester United in the Champions League last season, and Real Madrid fell to the feet of Arsenal led by Liu Han.
After beating Bayern Munich 2-0 away, Real Madrid finally officially qualified for the Champions League final, marking the second consecutive year in a row.
On the other side of the Champions League semi-finals, Leeds United was forced to draw 0-0 by Valencia at home, and Valencia broke out with a strong fighting power after returning to home, beating Leeds United 3-0, and finally this year's Champions League will be a civil war in La Liga.
After the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid returned to Madrid to prepare for the 34th round of the league, Espanyol.
At the end of the 33rd round of the league, Real Madrid still maintains a seven-point advantage over Deportivo La Coruna, and there are still 5 games left in the league, for Real Madrid, the league championship is in front of you, and the opportunity to defend the title is in front of you.
In La Liga, Real Madrid has its own city rivals, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona also has their own city rivals, that is, Espanyol.
In fact, it can be seen from the name of the team why Espanyol has a great grudge with Barcelona, Barcelona is named after the city, they belong to Cataloa, support the independence of Catalonia, and Espanyol is to support the unification of the whole of Spain, in a sense, Espanyol is actually an ally with Real Madrid, but really in the league, Espanyol will not deliberately give Real Madrid water, although they are now ranked tenth in the league, there is almost nothing to pursue.
Espanyol played very aggressively from the beginning of the game, they did not defend conservatively, but played against Real Madrid, according to the general situation, such a team should not pose much threat to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid after all experienced a fierce battle before, the game with Bayern consumed a lot of physical energy of Real Madrid players, Bosque had to rotate.
The rotation of the squad and the ups and downs of the players' form made it difficult for Real Madrid to start the game.
Espanyol opened the scoring in the 29th minute of the first half, when the rotating centre-back Pavon made a low-level mistake and the Espanyol striker cut the ball from his feet and fired straight past Casillas.
Real Madrid didn't get anything in the first half, Liu Han was also put on the bench today, and Morientes behaved very averagely.
Real Madrid stepped up their attack in the second half, and Liu Han came out to replace Guti, who was not performing well, as the team's forward midfielder.
In the 67th minute of the game, Liu Han helped Real Madrid equalize with a header in a corner kick.
Five minutes later, it was Liu Han who sent a wonderful pass to help Raul extend the score, and Real Madrid took the lead.
In the end, Real Madrid won 2-1 in this game without danger, ensuring their points lead.
However, on the other side, Deportivo also defeated Alaves 2-1 and still did not relax, although Deportivo wants to win the league title now depends on Real Madrid's performance in the following games, but they still will not give up easily, after all, miracles will always happen.
A week later, Real Madrid, well-rested, returned to the Estadio Vallecas in a rotational squad to face their opponents in the 35th round of the league, Rayo Vallecano.
A win would see Real Madrid travel to Milan, Italy, with a relaxed mindset as they take on their Champions League final opponents Valencia at the San Siro, after all, it is impossible to recover seven points in three games.
For such a game, of course, Real Madrid will attach great importance to it, but after all, the Champions League final is just around the corner, if the Champions League final is delayed just because of this game, then Real Madrid's management can collectively resign, so appropriate rotation is still necessary, after all, the league championship can now be regarded as a three-finger snail for Real Madrid, and nine out of ten are stable.
However, it was such a game, Rayo Vallecano, who were at home in Madrid, did not surrender their guns, and they used very obscene tactics to shrink down.
Real Madrid were in a difficult position in the face of Rayo Vallecano's very extreme almost approximate "901" formation, which was almost like a turtle shell, and Rayo Vallecano directly retracted all parts of his body into the turtle shell, not ready to poke his head out at all.
Real Madrid went on a rampage for 45 minutes in the first half and went nowhere.
In fact, Rayo Vallecano's previous results in the previous confrontation with Real Madrid were very average, but they caused a lot of trouble to Real Madrid every time, their greatest ability is to defend, the biggest difference between the two teams in the past five years is only three to one, Real Madrid only beat Rayo Vallecano by two goals.
After the first half of the frenzy failed, Real Madrid played more and more impatient in the second half, after all, it is much better to compete for the Champions League with victory than with regrets.
But just when Rayo Vallecano thought he was going to let Real Madrid win the championship for a moment, Liu Han stood up again.
In the past, Real Madrid will be very helpless in the face of this kind of turtle defense, although Morientes can also be regarded as a first-class striker, but in the face of attack, one Morientes is not enough, and Real Madrid's style also determines that they will not pull down the bottom and the opponent drag the mud and water, so in the past, their record with Rayo Vallecano played very average, but now the Real Madrid team has a "battering ram" Liu Han, in the face of this turtle shell, can only be violently and completely shattered.
In the 60th minute of the second half, Liu Han scored the first goal with a header from a Rayo Vallecano defender in the penalty area.
Three minutes later, it was Liu Han's long-range shot from outside the penalty area that caused chaos in the penalty area, and Figo stretched out a kick in the confusion to extend the lead.
Before the end, Liu Han once again received a pass from his teammates in the penalty area and scored hard, and this time Rayo Vallecano's turtle shell was completely shattered into slag by Real Madrid.
Winning the 35th round of the league will finally allow Real Madrid to face Valencia with a relaxed mindset, and now their eighth Champions League trophy is beckoning their players to beat Valencia at the San Siro. (To be continued.) )
