Chapter 314: No One Can Stop It
After entering 2003, La Liga restarted on January 5. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Real Madrid had an easy time this winter break, with a full 11 points above second place in the league table, which is a huge point difference.
In the first game of the winter break, which is the 16th round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Valencia, who are second in the league, 4-1, Liu Han scored four goals in the game, and his and the team's performance made the whole Valencia tremble, and Benitez even said at the press conference after the game that the Real Madrid midfield is unbeatable.
However, in the remaining three games in January 03, Real Madrid's form has been up and down, Real Madrid beat Vigo Celta 1-0 in the 17th round of the league, but in the 18th and 19th rounds, Real Madrid suffered two draws in succession, and their problems at the back finally showed themselves.
Hierro's form and performance have deteriorated as he has aged, and the team lacks a fixed figure at the back, and the young defenders have not shown the growth they deserve.
Florentino's superstar policy is flawed to a certain extent, with most of the team's wages concentrated on a few superstars, while others, especially those in the backline, are not well paid, so Real Madrid cannot attract superstars at the back. And Florotino is not a professional coach after all, although he single-handedly controls the transfer and makes the team financially very good, but he still lacks a reasonable concept of the overall construction of the team.
In mid-January, the second round of the Champions League group stage was rekindled, with Real Madrid drawn a group with AC Milan, Lokomotiv Moscow and Borussia Dortmund in the second round.
In the first game of the group, Real Madrid were attacked by AC Milan at the San Siro, and after falling behind for almost the entire game, the team relied on Liu Han's free-kick to equalize the score before the end.
A week later, in the second Champions League group game, Real Madrid travelled to Moscow, where they were hit by a blizzard, and the team struggled in the snow, being twice penetrated by Lokomotiv Moscow.
At the critical moment, it was Liu Han who stepped up, and he relied on two long-range shots in the second half to help the team draw the opponent again.
With two draws in the league and two draws in the Champions League, Real Madrid are looking tough at this stage.
However, in February, Real Madrid reinvigorated their momentum with a 4-0 win in the 21st round of the league, in which Liu Han and Ronaldo once again shared four goals, and the opponent Real Betis has been outstanding this season but looked helpless in this game. Betis finished fourth in the league standings after the first 20 rounds.
However, in the coming week, Real Madrid will have a difficult three-game week.
In the 22nd round of the league, Real Madrid, which had been appropriately rotated, defeated Osasuna 1-0.
Three days later, Real Madrid won 2-0 against La Liga League in the Copa del Rey, with a predominantly young squad.
On 20 February, the Champions League group stage resumed, and Real Madrid, who returned to play at home, defeated visiting Borussia Dortmund 2-1, which was considered their first victory in the second round of the Champions League group stage.
After a difficult week and three games, Real Madrid's upcoming schedule is a bit easier.
The time is about to enter March, La Liga has been played two-thirds, the Champions League is about to decide the quarterfinals, and Real Madrid has not tasted defeat so far has become the focus of attention in Europe, the last time there was such a long unbeaten run in Europe's top five leagues was back in the early 90s AC Milan, when AC Milan was led by the "Dutch Three Musketeers" to sweep Europe, if it were not for Basten's early retirement, maybe AC Milan has completed the dynasty hegemony.
Real Madrid continued their unbeaten run in the league with a 3-1 win over Valladolid in their final league game of February.
Three days later, Real Madrid, who came to Dortmund's home stadium, won another 0-0 victory to secure their top spot in the Champions League group stage.
In March, Real Madrid still maintained a good performance on all fronts, and Liu Han also continued his "killer" performance, so far, he has scored 25 goals in the league, an average of one goal per game, and in the Champions League, Liu Han also ranked at the top of the Champions League scorer list with 7 goals.
"You said you're going back to the NBA at the end of the season? Are you kidding? ”
After entering March, Liu Han told his friends at Real Madrid that he was about to return to the NBA in the second half of the year, but Zidane felt a little unbelievable when he heard the news.
"Man, not to mention whether the club will let you go, but will you still play basketball? I'm not underestimating you, I just think it's too risky for you to make such a decision, aren't you happy in Madrid? ”
"Zidan, to be honest, I already have a certain sense of belonging here, but continuing to play football has made me feel tired of it, and I want to go back to basketball, back to where I started."
"Will the team let you go? You are now our symbol, and Mr. Florentino will not let you go. ”
"You don't have to worry about that, Zidan, I've already agreed with Mr. Florentino, hehe, maybe I'll come back here in the future when I'm tired of playing basketball, after all, I'm still young, isn't it."
"In that case, then I'll congratulate you in advance, man, seriously, you're more comfortable than me, more passionate than me, I think I'll be here for the rest of my life, maybe when you come back, maybe I'll be your coach, haha, I've decided to take good care of you every day."
Liu Han only told a few friends about his imminent departure, and he didn't say anything else, after all, the news is not so happy for Real Madrid fans.
On 20 March, Real Madrid defeated AC Milan 2-1 at home to secure their place as top of the second group stage of the Champions League by three points, allowing them to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the third year in a row.
In the league, Real Madrid is still strong and unbeaten, except for another draw by Deportivo La Coruna in the 27th round of the league, Real Madrid has won the other rounds of the league.
In the Copa del Rey competition, Real Madrid also advanced all the way, and the whole of La Liga seems to see the defense of the treble, such an achievement has never been seen in the entire history of La Liga. (To be continued.) )
