Florentino has also consolidated his position as chairman because of Liu Han's outstanding performance, and some Real Madrid shareholders who have been criticized for Florentino's large spending have also reduced their criticism of the chairman, coupled with a series of "purges" in the first half of the season, Florentino is now completely in control of Real Madrid, and he has begun to prepare for his grand plans.
With the resumption of the Champions League, Real Madrid's schedule has gradually become denser, but because in the first half of the season, Real Madrid was unexpectedly defeated by the Toledo team in La Liga in the Copa del Rey, thus bidding farewell to the Copa del Rey after only one game, so compared to other La Liga teams that play in the Champions League, Real Madrid's schedule is relatively relaxed.
After returning to Madrid, Liu Han was invited to participate in Raul's party, which was the first time that Real Madrid's Spanish local players invited Liu Han to their party, after a period of run-in and familiarity, Real Madrid's local players knew Liu Han's character, and gradually accepted Liu Han, after all, Liu Han's existence did not affect their status, so now inviting Liu Han is also an act of goodwill, Liu Han's initiative to let Guti take the last free-kick in the last game against Lazio made the Spanish local players feel goodwill.
Liu Han did not bring his female companion to the party, which made many Spanish actresses who came to the party feel that it was an opportunity, but they were rejected by Liu Han one by one, which made many people begin to doubt Liu Han's sexual orientation, but Liu Han didn't care about these at all, after all kinds of bullying in life, Liu Han was quite calm about some comments from the outside world.
On February 17, the 23rd round of La Liga began, Real Madrid sat at home to face Racing Santander, facing Racing Santander, which is currently ranked first in the league, Real Madrid felt that this game should be easier.
However, Racing Santander, deep in the relegation zone, played quite tenaciously in this match with the top of the table, and they seemed to have studied the match between Real Madrid and Lazio, from the beginning of the game, Racing Santander could not hold on, and Liu Han was also "special care" by Racing Santander after returning to the front.
It is undeniable that the development of La Liga in recent years is very good, the level of the league has improved rapidly with the development of various teams, and there is currently the strength to compete for the first league in Europe, so the local practitioners of La Liga are also quite proud, among which there are even some referees who discriminate against foreign players, especially very rare Asian players, even if Liu Han's reputation is so high now, there are still extreme Spaniards who look down on people of color, unfortunately, Real Madrid today faced a referee who seemed to be discriminatory against people of color.
In the game, Racing Santander played more conservatively at the beginning, afraid of giving Real Madrid a chance to set pieces in the frontcourt, but as the game progressed, they found that the referee had a large scale today, so they began to take care of Liu Han.
After Liu Han, who returned to the locker room after playing in the first half, took off his socks and shin guards, his calves were already full of bruises, which made many Real Madrid players very indignant.
After the start of the second half of the game, Liu Han made a thorough effort, and frequently played the players of Racing Santander through his individual ability and team cooperation.
In the 60th minute of the game, Liu Han connected three people outside the penalty area and then sent a through stopper, Guti who was inserted in the back kicked a cross to the middle, and Raul at the back point scored the ball in one fell swoop, and Santander's stubborn defense became useless.
Before the end, Liu Han broke the opponent's shot with a burst shot from 30 meters away, which also made the opponent and the referee sink their faces.
After the game, Real Madrid immediately appealed the referee's decision for this game, and Florentino would not just watch the players he brought in at such a large cost to be bullied like this.
The La Liga refereeing committee accepted Real Madrid's protest and appeal and said it would study the footage of the game.
At the end of the 23rd round of league games, Real Madrid are at the top of the league standings with 15 wins, 5 losses and 3 draws, followed by Deportivo La Coruna, who beat Barcelona in the 23rd round to keep up with Real Madrid, and the difference of three points is very slim with 15 rounds remaining.
After playing the match with Racing Santander, Real Madrid then welcomed the challenge of Lazio at home three days later, this game Real Madrid deliberately rotated the lineup, because their opponent in the next 24th round of the league will be Deportivo La Coruna, before Real Madrid has won at Lazio's home stadium, so this home game is relatively unimportant, in order to open the league points as soon as possible, so this game Real Madrid must rotate.
The "Blue Eagles" who came to the Bernabeu were mainly anti-away in this game, they changed the tactics of the last defensive counterattack, and played against Real Madrid, and Zoff's changeable tactical style made Bosque a little flustered.
In the first half, Real Madrid were breached by their opponents.
After the start of the second half, Bosque urgently put Liu Han, who was originally sitting on the bench, back on the field, and also replaced Figo, who had returned from injury, in an attempt to equalize the score as soon as possible.
However, what made Real Madrid a little worse was that after the beginning of the second half, their goalkeeper Ilgena went off the field due to injury, and there were not many opportunities for Ilgena to play this season, and the young Casillas gradually controlled the position of the main goalkeeper, but Ilgena rotated in this game, but such an accident happened, which made people have to lament the bad luck of this guy.
Real Madrid, who had to use up three substitutions early, seemed to be even more passive.
However, after the game, Liu Han and Figo quickly played a tacit cooperation.
Figo ran down the right and then crossed to Liu Han as he approached the penalty area, Liu Han gently knocked the ball up with the heel of his right foot, and the ball just grazed the head of the Lazio player and flew into the box, where Figo had already cut in diagonally and volleyed the ball non-stop, the Lazio goalkeeper could do nothing about it, and Real Madrid equalized the score in the 64th minute of the second half.
Five minutes later, it was Figo who pulled to the left and received a long pass from McMaraman, and then Figo, who was unguarded by his side, calmly sent a cross, Liu Han knocked away Nesta's header and scored the ball into the Lazio goal, and the situation on the field changed instantly.
Real Madrid withstood the pressure to extend their lead in the second round of the group stage with a home win over Lazio, where they can now face Deportivo La Coruna, their biggest opponents in the league table. (To be continued.) )
