Chapter 670: Who Can Stop That Celestial Empire Man
The renovation of the Bernabeu has nothing to do with Li Muddy except for the beginning of next season, so after being notified, he just nodded and said that he already knew about it and would no longer pay attention to the subsequent developments. The team's focus is still on winning all the titles, and there will be no change in any way due to minor personnel changes or future home stadiums that may be temporarily relocated elsewhere.
Returning to Madrid after a nine-year hiatus, Zivkovic was given plenty of time to settle into his new team, and it wasn't until the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final at home to Villarreal on 7 February that he made his debut for the Galacticos, and only played 20 minutes as a substitute.
The Serbian veteran's technical characteristics are very much in line with the requirements of a modern winger, and although he is less than 1.70 meters tall, he is at the end of the world in terms of his dribbling ability and physical qualities such as speed and dexterity, which is indeed quite rare for his age.
And the fact that he can play both left and right wings at the same time, as well as nearly a decade of experience in top leagues such as Ligue 1 and Serie A, can make him have his own place in the overall stronger Real Madrid team.
Although he played for Lazio in the Europa League in the first half of the season, UEFA rules allow players to sign up for their new club in different European competitions after changing doors in the winter transfer window. So on the evening of February 21, in the first leg of Real Madrid's away Champions League quarter-final against Lyon, Zivkovic appeared in the starting list for the first time after the transfer. And played a very good performance in this game, not only hitting the post once, but also sending a wonderful assist for teammate Mbappe, helping the team win 2-0 and occupy the initiative to advance.
Two weeks later, the Galaxy Battleship, who returned to their home stadium, once again defeated the Ligue 1 powerhouse by three goals, which had already turned their main energy back to the domestic arena, and advanced to the quarterfinals without any suspense. Zivkovic, who still plays as the starting left winger, scored his first goal since returning to Spanish football in this duel, which was a header that no one expected.
The lowest altitude in the game, he actually completed a header in front of many big men who were more than 1.85 meters tall on the other side, which was too dramatic. And the veteran's continuous wonderful performances have also allowed fans who are a little worried about Vinicius' departure to finally sweep away all those troubles.
As Real Madrid's record has become more stable and perverted over time, some of the more radical Melinger have begun to say on online forums that it is time to consider preparing new clothes for the post-season celebration parade, which has attracted a lot of diss from supporters of other teams.
However, this really can't be said that Real Madrid fans are too arrogant, but Li Mudi and his disciples did play an invincible momentum in the game after the winter break, which made all opponents have to feel desperate.
Ahead of the Copa del Rey final on April 22, the Galaxy had a 15-1 draw in the second half of the season. So far, they have broken the La Liga record for the same period in the same period with 29 wins and 3 draws, almost by carving their names on this championship trophy in advance. As long as they can get a point away from their little brother Getafe in the 33rd round of the league in the next 33 round, Real Madrid can enjoy the welcome of the next five opponents before the start of the game, including their two great rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
In the Champions League, after easily passing the difficult hurdle of Lyon, perhaps UEFA did not want a quadruple title, as Real Madrid, as the top favorite to win the title, met Juventus, who are second in the odds to win the title, in the quarter-finals, which has never happened in the past few decades.
However, even after years of accumulation, they finally regained the Serie A supremacy they had lost before, even if they accepted the fate of legendary Spanish coach Pep Guardiola to lead the new Bianconeri to continue to climb to the top, and even if they successively introduced recognized world-class stars such as Antonio Marin and Claudio Gomez, the old lady still failed to find a way to defeat the world's No. 1 giants in the two-legged duel.
Especially in the first match between the two sides at the Bernabeu, even though Guardiola has changed his usual passing tactics and made a rare counter-attacking strategy, trying to keep a draw away from home or get a small defeat with a goal. It's just that in the face of Mbappe and Pellegri who have adjusted their form to the highest peak, the back line that Juve relied on to dominate the domestic league still failed to withstand the opponent's onslaught, and if it weren't for the supernatural play of the French international Alban Rafon, the final point difference would never have been so close as 2-0.
The result forced the Bianconeri to adopt a heavy attack and a light defense tactic after returning to the Allianz Arena, so that Li Mudi, who had long expected the development of the situation, used the counter-attack strategy of Mbappe and Riverola's two fast horses to play the desperate death, although Bruchtel's goal was broken twice, but the home team only won a 2-2 draw.
With an aggregate score of 4-2, Real Madrid knocked down their opponents with the advantage of overall strength in this encounter of strong dialogue, and naturally occupied a position in the top four, which also made the remaining opponents feel a sense of fear.
Faced with questions from reporters, their opponent in the semi-finals, Luis Enrique, who had just knocked out Manchester City, said in a slightly helpless tone: "Our next opponent is very strong, and in my opinion, Coach Lee's team now looks almost without any shortcomings." I know that there is no such thing as perfection on the football field, and that all the great teams in history have their own small problems, even Barcelona, who won the six-time crown, and the Brazilian national team, which is considered to be great, are not unbeatable. But against such a Real Madrid team, sometimes it really makes other teams feel a little desperate.
Fortunately, PSG still have a big advantage in the league now, which allows us to temporarily put all our energy into the European competition, and with Vinicius, a superstar new signing who knows all the tactics of the opponent, I believe that before the first leg, we have a chance to find the flaws of the opponent and grasp the initiative to advance to the final. ”
His remarks seemed to be at the time, although the first half revealed a certain lack of confidence, but the final statement was relatively convincing, after all, Vinicius can be said to be the non-Real Madrid player who knows the tactical thinking of the Real Madrid coach the most in world football today.
It's just that on the night of the 60th Earth Day, Li Mudi led his disciples to defeat Barcelona, the rival who is also very familiar with them, 4-0 at the Metropolitano Stadium, and successfully completed the great cause of five consecutive championships in the Copa del Rey, not many people in the entire European football world are optimistic about the overall strength of the French hegemon, which is similar to Barcelona, may stop the Galaxy Battleship from rushing to the pace of the Champions League four in a row, because the current Real Madrid is too terrifying.
Although the conflict between the previous club president Pique and the team's two midfielders seriously affected the fighting power of the Catalan giants, under the active mediation of Xavi and other high-level and even some celebrities, the team's combat effectiveness has ushered in a significant rebound after entering March. After a wave of six consecutive league wins, they have cemented their position in third place in the table, and even if it is completely impossible to catch up with their number one arch-rival, at least in the eyes of most people, they still have the strength to fight Real Madrid.
And after being eliminated by Manchester United in the quarterfinals of the Champions League because of the lack of away goals, Barcelona only has the Copa del Rey left to fight for this season, so the club can be said to attach great importance to the final on the 22nd.
As a result, Xavi's main strategy has not changed much in this high-profile battle, because the team's past success has been built on the basis of passing, and they want them to completely overturn this way of thinking unless the end of the world comes. The so-called secret weapon is simply to start the academy academy star Austin Perez, who has started to make a name for himself this season, and to add to his individual attempts on the right flank.
It's just that this kind of tactic, which does not bring lethal pressure to Real Madrid's midfield, is completely unable to stop the Galaxy Battleship's counterattack that goes beyond integration and has even begun to develop towards the level of freewheeling. In today's world football, if you are purely competing for speed ability, you may still be able to find about 20 people who can wrestle with Mbappe, but if you combine experience and ball skills, then you really don't know who can restrain the two-time World Footballer of the Year and Ballon d'Or winner.
Add to that Manuel Pellegri and Ferran Torres, who has a superb set-piece and passing ability, and as long as their team-mates at the back can deliver long balls with a high rate of accuracy, these three attackers alone can turn all teams' backlines upside down, and few opponents can do it after 90 minutes.
Just like Barcelona in this final, although they have nearly 70% of the possession, once they lose the ball, they must immediately take extremely high-intensity front-court pressing, otherwise they will see the ball appear in their own danger zone in an instant, and the consequences are obviously unimaginable.
However, this strategy will not only increase the probability of players being carded, but also lead to excessive physical consumption, and the interception ability of Havertz, Sergio Gomez and others can only be barely considered mediocre among attacking players, and the pressure on Real Madrid's defenders and midfielders is not very great.
On the other hand, the opponent, whether it is a central defender or a full-back, has a long pass ability far beyond the passing line, not to mention Marcos Llorente and Fambas, who are known for their passing ability, and even Ndidi, who was originally thought to be only defensive, has also developed a good mid-distance passing skills through hard training and atmosphere after joining the team. In other words, no matter whose feet the ball appears, it can launch a counterattack at the first time, which can be said to make the opponent defenseless.
Even if the success rate of this kind of long pass is not too high due to distance and the opponent's defensive attention, as long as you seize one opportunity in three or four times, you will create a killer move. Moreover, Real Madrid's counter-attacking routine is far more than that, with a continuous pass on the ground, a cross change of frontcourt players, and a midfielder's dribbling assault, each of which makes the opponent drink a pot, which can be resisted by sending a few fast defenders.
What's more, it was even more difficult to catch up with Mbappe's best moment on this day.
In the end, even though Xavi and his players had given their all, they could not avoid a big defeat. Since the loss of the gate just before the end of the first half, there has been no chance of victory, and all hopes of a trophy this season have been extinguished early with a narrow defeat.
The next morning, the authoritative British media "The Guardian", there appeared a long article in the titled "Who Can Stop the Celestial Man". The article first reviewed the 2028-29 season, which has come to an end, in a closing way, and then used detailed data to prove that Real Madrid's performance is already one of the best in history, and believes that it is difficult for anyone to stop them from making history.
Three days later, when the Galacticos returned to Madrid from the Stade des Princes in Paris with a 3-1 scoreline, everyone agreed with the article that the moment to rewrite the history of European football was probably coming.
As we mentioned before, neither Barcelona's so-called six crowns won in 2009, nor Real Madrid's replication three years ago, or Arsenal's England six crowns in the 2022-23 season, have failed to achieve a true Grand Slam, that is, to win all the titles that can participate in that season.
Li Mudi has twice been infinitely close to this unprecedented honor in history, but he has regretted missing it out.
However, in the case that he has won four crowns and the league has long been in suspense, he has led the team to almost lock in a place to advance to the Champions League final, and judging from the strength and state of this Real Madrid, it can really be called an invincible opponent all over the world, so the birth of the first six-crown champion in history should no longer have any suspense!
Fortunately, there seems to be some variables in this kind of thing that can make people feel completely hopeless.
