Chapter 824: The whole world is watching the derby
Pellegrini didn't care what Florentino thought, the key was that he led Real Madrid to win the game by a big score.
Real Madrid's hopes of winning two consecutive games have become even greater, and maintaining a double-digit points advantage before the match against Barcelona is also a deterrent for Barcelona.
The above achievements will also be recognized by the world, and his coaching ability will naturally be recognized as well.
That's what matters.
After the game.
Manuel Pellegrini responded to reporters with a smile on his face, most of the interviews were related to Zhen Shaolong, and some of the questions were also related to future matches, and the Chilean patiently explained, "Zhen has been in very good form recently, and we are not sure if he will play against Bordeaux." ”
"Seven goals in a game, it's unbelievable."
'The next league game is against Barcelona and I'm sure he will be the key to the outcome.
"The draw for the Final Four?"
'Sorry, we haven't thought about it yet, the most important thing now is to prepare for the game against Bordeaux.'
Pellegrini's words made reporters want to scold their mothers, everyone knows that Bordeaux is impossible to eliminate Real Madrid, Real Madrid must already be thinking about the semi-finals, and the Chilean's statement is too official.
In fact.
Real Madrid are not thinking about Bordeaux at all, they have put most of their energy into preparing for the national derby, and Barcelona are opponents who will have to deal with seriously.
After the match against Racing Santander, Real Madrid welcomed the game of Bordeaux.
This one doesn't matter at all.
Pellegrini sent a semi-bench lineup, and the appearance of Kaka and Raul seems to represent a certain level of attention, but in fact, everyone knows that Kaka and Raul are in average form.
So far this season, Real Madrid's midfielders have performed in the top three, Zhen Shaolong, C-Ronaldo, and Diarra are the top three, followed by Granero, Higuain, Guti, and then Kaka, Raul, and Alonso.
Players such as Kaka, Raul, and Alonso can't be called bad, but in the star-studded Real Madrid, the lack of outstanding performance itself means poor.
Of course.
This will not affect the result of the match between Real Madrid and Bordeaux.
After 90 minutes of play at the Bernabeu, the score was finally fixed at '1-2', Bordeaux defeated Real Madrid away, but because there was too much difference in the first round, it was undoubtedly Real Madrid who had the last laugh.
Real Madrid's success in knocking out Bordeaux to secure a place in the last four of the Champions League was no surprise, but the rest of the fixtures were in the spotlight, most notably the Premier League side's performances.
Manchester United were eliminated by Bayern!
Newcastle United, Chelsea and Liverpool have all been eliminated one after another, including Manchester United, which was eliminated by Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, and the Premier League has been wiped out in the Champions League.
This has attracted the attention of the world.
The last time the Premier League missed the last four of the Champions League was in the 2002-03 season, when Liverpool and Newcastle United did not have the strength of the giants in the Premier League, Arsenal was still in the bottleneck of European competition, and Manchester United met their biggest nemesis of the year, Real Madrid.
For the past five years, the Premier League has almost monopolized the Champions League.
Reaching the Champions League final in a row and occupying three of the top four for three consecutive years, the Premier League is considered the "No. 1 League in Europe".
A lot of media outlets have begun to analyse it, and they attribute the reason to the Premier League transfer inaction.
Last summer, the Premier League's powerhouses generally declined.
Except for Arsenal, which failed to enter the top four and missed the qualification for the Champions League, and introduced stars to strengthen their strength, the strength of other teams has not increased substantially, but has lost a lot of stars.
Newcastle United is the most iconic.
Michael Ashley is about to become everyone's shouting existence, after Zhen Shaolong's transfer left last year, Ashley also wanted to sell Newcastle United Club, but failed to find a suitable receiver, and he didn't want to sell the club at a low price, so he could only continue to run the club, and one star after another left.
This season, Newcastle United's strength has been greatly reduced, and they have failed to qualify from the group as Champions League winners.
Among the other teams involved in the Champions League in the Premier League, Chelsea's strength has not increased, and Roman Abramovich has not seen any major movement for three consecutive years, and seems to have given up on the golden yuan offensive.
Manchester United and Liverpool both believe that the 'money-burning mode' cannot be continued, and there were no heavyweight signings last summer, but they lost C-Ronaldo and Alonso respectively.
It's fatal.
Of course, summer transfers are only one of the problems.
There is no shortage of some sensible media in Europe, they analyze from multiple angles, and believe that the fierce competition in the Premier League is also an important reason, the Premier League is the most competitive league, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and other teams and the gap between strong teams is narrowing, Birmingham, Sunderland and even Wigan, Burnley and the like, the strength can not be underestimated, it is normal for giants to lose without paying attention, and it also makes the first echelon of the Premier League team have to suffer from the fierce civil war, which is also an important factor affecting the results of the Champions League.
Also, the Premier League powerhouses are also unlucky.
Gerrard and Torres never played together in Liverpool's two games against Lyon, while Manchester United could only send an injured Wayne Rooney in their do-or-die clash with Bayern.
At the same time, the referee did not treat the Premier League well.
As soon as the quarterfinals ended, many people began to denounce the referee, because Bayern Munich won Manchester United, relying on the referee, Manchester United was sent off in the second leg, and then the referee was surrounded by Bayern players and made a decision that was not favorable to Manchester United.
Chelsea have also suffered from refereeing problems, with Inter Milan failing to award penalties in both games.
Wait a minute.
But in any case, the quarterfinals of the Champions League have ended, and some referees, draws and other issues in the Champions League every year have become the norm of gossip, and the Premier League teams are all out, which seems to only allow the media to add some off-the-field public opinion.
That's all.
Next, the world will be watching the draw for the Champions League semi-finals.
La Liga is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this year's Champions League, with Real Madrid and Barcelona both reaching the Champions League semi-finals, while the other two teams are Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Serie A Inter Milan, which have been strong in recent years.
The four teams will face each other in pairs.
The Spanish media are relatively optimistic, they are very careful about their two giants, and only hope that Real Madrid and Barcelona will not meet each other before they meet in the final.
The German, Italian media are just the opposite.
Of the four teams of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, the strongest teams will definitely be selected between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Barcelona needless to say.
They were runners-up in last year's Champions League, and they seem to be strong contenders for the title every year, and their strength can be said to be at a peak, and they are also very strong in the Champions League.
Real Madrid is the most expensive team, with two stars, Zhen Shaolong and C-Ronaldo.
In the Champions League, Real Madrid did not knock out the real seeded teams, and it can be said that they were very lucky, and they met two French teams in succession.
But......
Real Madrid is a double defeat opponent with two big scores!
In front of Real Madrid, Lyon and Bordeaux don't seem to have the power to fight back at all!
Bayern Munich coach Van Gaal said bluntly in an interview, "Compared with Real Madrid, we hope to meet Barcelona, because Real Madrid is uncertain, and no one dares to say that they can hold the forward line composed of Zhen Shaolong and C-Ronaldo!" I watched the recent Real Madrid game, Zhen Shaolong scored seven goals in a single game, such a striker is a hundred times more headache than Messi! ”
Inter Milan star Samuel Eto'o was interesting as he laid out the route for Inter Milan to win the title: "We will meet Bayern first, we will knock Bayern Munich out of the final, and then we will meet Barcelona in the final. Messi is the best player in the world, but Barcelona can't necessarily beat us. In the end, we will win. ”
The reporter immediately asked with interest, "What about Real Madrid?" ”
"Real Madrid? They will be eliminated by Barcelona, Josep (Pep Guardiola) is the best coach, he must know how to limit Zhen Shaolong. ”
Eto'o's interview immediately took center stage, as he was telling the story.
This is not what it seems.
Eto'o dug a hole for Guardiola, almost directly satirizing Guardiola, he said that Guardiola is the best manager, he must know how to limit Zhen Shaolong, but can Guardiola do it?
No one knows.
Most people are not optimistic, and many well-known people in football have publicly stated, "A star like Zhen Shaolong, as long as his personal performance is okay, he can't prevent it if he wants to." ”
So far, Guardiola has not been able to do it.
Regardless of whether Real Madrid and Barcelona meet in the Champions League semi-finals, they will immediately have a direct match.
That's the league.
This may be the time for Pep Guardiola to prove himself?
If Barcelona can't succeed in restricting Zhen Shaolong, it seems to prove that Pep Guardiola's coaching ability is disappointing.
Eto'o would probably say, "I believe in you so much, you can't do it!" ”
Contrarily.
Barcelona was really able to restrain Zhen Shaolong, which seemed to confirm what Eto'o said.
He didn't suffer anyway!
It is not surprising that Eto'o dug a hole for Guardiola, and since Guardiola took office, the relationship with Eto'o has been tense, and it is Messi's affirmation that allows Eto'o to stay for one more season.
Eto'o is now an Inter Milan player, and it can be said that 'thanks to Pep Guardiola', he scored 30 league goals and six euros in his final season in Barcelona, but in the end he had to leave.
Nature.
Samuel Eto'o has no liking for Pep Guardiola.
The Champions League semi-final draw was different from what Samuel Eto'o had hoped, with the only thing in common being that Inter Milan did not meet Real Madrid, but they did meet Barcelona 'early'.
The other games are Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
The result was satisfactory for Real Madrid, with Barcelona hoping to meet Bayern Munich, but they were not able to do so, and Inter Milan were hoping to meet Bayern......
All right!
The other three teams are hoping to meet Bayern Munich, and the reason is naturally that Bayern Munich are easier to play.
In the end, Real Madrid got their wish.
After the results of the draw for the semi-finals of the Champions League came out, even the Spanish newspaper "Marca" and "As" newspaper were surprised by Real Madrid's luck, and "World Sports" put forward different keys, "Maybe UEFA also hopes that Inter and Barcelona will meet, they are the old enemies of the Champions League." One is considered the strongest offensive team and the other is considered the strongest defensively. What kind of sparks will be stirred up by the collision of spear and shield is something that everyone is looking forward to. ”
Real Madrid certainly don't admit that Barcelona have the strongest attack.
In fact.
In La Liga and the Champions League, Real Madrid scored the most goals, and Barcelona could only rank second, but most people think that Real Madrid has more goals because Zhen Shaolong has more goals, not because of the overall offensive ability.
This is justified by the public.
After the draw for the Champions League semi-finals, the media were analyzing the matchup, and then their eyes were on La Liga.
The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona is coming!
In the past, the Spanish national derby attracted more domestic attention, but the current national derby is different, Real Madrid and Barcelona have both reached the last four of the Champions League, and the game is also an opportunity for opponents to observe the situation.
Bayern Munich is better.
Real Madrid have nothing to observe, their tactical arrangement is for next year, most of the games rely on the stars, and the tactical effect is not obvious.
Inter Milan will have to be serious.
Inter Milan and Barcelona are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of public opinion, and the whole of Italy is helping Mourinho to advise him on how to deal with it to beat Barcelona.
Jose Mourinho also takes the Spanish derby very seriously, and he has made time to watch the game live in the hope of finding some inspiration during the game.
In this game, Real Madrid has a good chance of winning.
Barcelona is strong by various analyses, and the Champions League is indeed very strong, but they are suppressed by Real Madrid in La Liga, Real Madrid is still playing at home, and the lineup is more complete than Barcelona.
Mourinho is not concerned about winning or losing, but about other things in the game, for example, what tactics will Pellegrini use to deal with it? Will it change the usual 442 play?
How does Guardiola limit the forward line composed of Zhen Shaolong and C-Ronaldo?
How will the Real Madrid coaching staff arrange to let the stars in the team play their strengths, and how will they limit Messi?
How much will Barcelona be affected by the loss of Iniesta?
Wait a minute.
These are very informative for Inter Milan to deal with Barcelona.
