Volume 5 Chapter 36 The Eve of the Final Battle
"Don't be depressed, you will have a chance to play in the European Championship and the World Cup in the future, you are still so young", Mark Qin put his arm around the disappointed Bale and comforted him.
Well, this always sounds awkward, Bell is a year older than Mackchen, but the world is such a reality, Macklin's status, it is natural to say such things.
After the return of the core, England broke out with unprecedented combat effectiveness, and the back line John Terry and Ferdinand were in charge, without giving the weak Wales any chance.
4:0, a score that seems normal to others, but is difficult for Wales to accept, nakedly exposes their position in this group.
And Mackin also scored a goal, improving his national team statistics to 20 games, 18 goals, and the qualifiers were used to let these superstars come over to brush up the data.
Mack patted Bale on the shoulder, handed him to his team-mate, and then walked off the pitch with a round of applause to the England fans who had come with him.
Now this qualifier is completely different from their World Cup qualifiers, England firmly occupies the top spot in the group, and the media has not hyped it up anymore, for the World Cup champions, isn't this a matter of course?
"Well done", Capello congratulated his proud disciple, 1 goal and 1 assist in this game, "Next year is another big year, you have to stay healthy this year, I won't recruit you if I can play a friendly match, you have to prepare well for the European Cup"
Ma Qin naturally agreed, he didn't have much interest in the friendly match, and he couldn't even brush the data, but now he doesn't need that fame, the opportunity is still left to the young people.
In a hurry, he caught up with old friends such as Gerrard, Carragher, and Rooney, and then they went their separate ways, of course, most of them went back to England, and Mark had to go back to Spain.
The sprint of the last two months is about to begin, with 9 rounds of league games, European competitions, and the top three to fight for the final result in these two months.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have one more game than Atletico Madrid in April, and that is the Copa del Rey final!
And now the draw for the European competition has also come out, Atletico Madrid will play Twente from the Netherlands in the round of eight, well, another team that many people have not heard of the name.
That's the case with the League Cup, it's good that many people can know the two teams in the final, this is not the League Cup ten years ago, the gold content is so high, and now it's chicken ribs.
It's no wonder that Mack Qin can't raise his momentum when he plays, only stronger opponents can stimulate stronger form, and in the UEFA Cup game, facing opponents who didn't pay much attention to before, well, well, just win.
"Haha", Mackin hugged Isabella on the sofa at home and kissed him fiercely, and the TV was playing the first game of the thirtieth round of La Liga.
At the beginning of April, Real Madrid vs Sporting Gijón.
The result of the game was 0:1, Sporting Gijón is simply a giant killer, after drawing Barcelona at Camp Nou, today at the Bernabeu kicked over the Galaxy Battleship, it is simply fierce.
Mourinho blackened his face in the camera and walked directly into the players' tunnel, without even holding the hand of the opposing manager, of course, people didn't care, but rushed to the field to celebrate with the players excitedly.
'Oh, it's not a good start to April for Real Madrid, they have a trip to Inter Milan in midweek, Jose Mourinho has to face his old club, and they accidentally fell in the league,' said the TV commentator.
The top 8 matches in the Champions League have long been out, Real Madrid vs Inter, Barcelona vs Tottenham, Manchester United vs Chelsea, Schalke 04 vs Liverpool.
Manchester United, led by the late retirement, is still as strong as ever, and Wayne Rooney, who won the World Cup, has completely regained his form this season and is Manchester United's leading scorer.
Tottenham's Champions League road has come to an end, it is almost impossible for them to beat Barcelona at their current level, and many media say that Liverpool drew a lottery, but Mackin knows that the current Schalke 04 is not weak, and the forward line composed of Raul and Huntelaar is extremely sharp.
It is estimated that with Liverpool's current strength, who wins the two teams depends on some luck, and who can better grasp the opportunity at home, because the home atmosphere of both teams is terrifying.
As soon as he saw their match, and then thought of what Twente he was going to play, Mackin felt impatient, he had played enough in the League Cup in half a season, and there were many games, tired, and not exciting.
The next day, the whole Atletico Madrid team left for Pamplona, this time against Osasuna, the birthplace of Benitez, who has long been in the bottom half of La Liga.
As a result, Atletico Madrid, who rested for a week, swept away 6-2 away from home, and Mackin scored another hat-trick, which was also his first in Spain.
This is also encouraged by Real Madrid's loss, didn't you watch Barcelona also beat Villarreal 2:0 cleanly? How can the spiritual food funded by the enemy not be fully collected?
As a result, after this round, Barcelona is four points ahead of Atletico Madrid at the top of the table, while Atletico Madrid is only one point behind Real Madrid and is in third place, and at this moment the European competition is back in flames.
Atletico Madrid first sat at home in this round, facing the Eredivisie 'powerhouse' Twente, and then they settled the battle at half-time, 3:0, Sanchez scored twice, Aguero scored another goal before the midfield, Mackin did not insert into the penalty area once, and was relieved to be a midfield organizer.
Because they were literally engaged in half-court offensive and defensive drills throughout the first half, Twente tightened their defence and probably expected a draw, and the wide range of dispatches with Mack Qin broke their illusions.
And going into the end of March, their offense is getting better and better, which can be seen in the fact that they can play bigger and bigger scores.
The result of the whole game was a naked 5:0, and in the second half, Mack finally reluctantly scored a penalty, bringing his Europa League goals to 3, well, this is the top 8, poor to death.
Fortunately, he mixed 2 assists in this game, which brought his number of assists in the Europa League to 5, ranking first, otherwise he would really lose face as the world's number one star.
Three days later, Atletico Madrid sat at home again to face their opponent in the 31st round, Real Sociedad, this time Mackin was much more active than the last game, not only because Real Madrid and Barcelona won the game first, but also because he did not have to go to the Europa League in the middle of next week, so he did not need to save energy.
At 3:0, Mackin scored twice, and it was two extremely beautiful free kicks, and they once again set foot to catch up and continue to maintain the pressure on Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Marca: Entering April, Marc scored five goals in two league games and six goals in three games, and his form is unstoppable, and he has become a strong booster for Atletico.
"As": There are still 7 rounds of the league, Mark has scored 22 league goals, you must know that he has missed 10 rounds of games in the past 3 months, his goal efficiency has caught up with Ronaldo this season, and the total number of goals is also ranked third in the scorer list.
Mid-April is a watershed moment for the entire La Liga!
When Atletico Madrid returned to Madrid with a score of 1:2, the entire European competition, whether it was the Champions League or the Europa League, the top 8 matches were all over, and some people were happy and some worried.
Real Madrid were once again in the spotlight in Madrid, beating Inter Milan 7-3 on aggregate to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in seven years, and Jose Mourinho was in the limelight for a while.
"I said I would bring a different Real Madrid", Mourinho finally raised his eyebrows and began to slam the media at the press conference after the Bernabeu eliminated Inter Milan.
Recently, the media has caught him losing points in the league, and there are contradictions in the locker room, for people like Mu Niao, who hold grudges, he will always find a chance to return it, and now the opportunity has come.
"I don't care if someone says my team is ugly because we're winning, in seven years, no one has been able to get Real Madrid to the semi-finals of the Champions League again, no one has been able to help Real Madrid win the Copa del Rey again, and now you will all see it"
'Now whether it's Manchester United, Schalke or Barcelona, we have only one goal, to reach the final, we just focus on ourselves......
It is very regrettable that Liverpool was finally eliminated by Schalke 04 on penalties and did not enter the last four of the Champions League, and Spalletti failed to achieve a breakthrough in his Champions League results.
But when the draw for the Champions League semifinals came out, the whole of Spain was boiling, and Atletico Madrid was also boiling, Real Madrid VS Barcelona!
April 17, the 32nd round of the league, Bernabeu, Real Madrid VS Barcelona;
April 21, Copa del Rey final, Mestalla (Valencia home), Real Madrid VS Barcelona;
On April 28, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Bernabeu, Real Madrid VS Barcelona;
May 4, Champions League semifinal second leg, Camp Nou, Barcelona VS Real Madrid;
Interspersed with two league games, namely the 33rd round of the league on the 24th and the 34th round of the league on May 1, Real Madrid and Barcelona have a hellish schedule for half a month, and they are tough battles.
"This is our chance, the last chance, Real Madrid and Barcelona will definitely drop points in these three rounds, and all we need to do is keep winning!" , Mackin posted his personal news on Instagram as soon as he got the lottery results.
Soon, his post was picked up by dozens of media outlets, with the headline: Mark called on the whole team to make a final sprint to the La Liga title.
The League Cup? No, in Mackqin's heart, the league championship is far more important than the league cup champion, and if he needs to give up selectively at that time, he will definitely give up the league cup without hesitation.
Their last-four opponents in the UEFA Cup are Benfica, also away and home, on the 29th and the 6th of next month, less than three days apart from their next two league games.
Mackin hates the League Cup and hates it, it's the most frustrating game, and it has to be staggered with the Champions Cup, which results in a very unreasonable interval with the league.
For example, after playing Benfica away on the 29th, they have to go to Laco away on the 1st, they have to play Benfica at home on the 6th, and they have to continue to play at home against Malaga on the 8th.
In this schedule, the gods can't play 4 games in a row, and Atletico Madrid must selectively rest the main team, especially the 3 main attacking forces in the frontcourt, Mackqin, Aguero and Sanchez.
On April 18, the 32nd round of La Liga, the penultimate game, Espanyol vs. Atletico Madrid!
"Goaaaaaal......, Koke, the young player who came on from the substitute Raul Garcia who came off the field with an injury, Koke, lore, lore, I thought it would be a draw, 3:2, stoppage time!"
The Spanish commentator on the TV roared frantically, and the Espanyol team was unusually tenacious and ferocious, a bit beyond Atletico's expectations, and they took the lead twice and were equalised twice.
In the end, Raul Garcia was also knocked off the pitch because of a scramble for a header, and no one expected that substitute Koke had a shocking long-range shot in stoppage time to blast away the Espanyol goal again.
"Roar, ......", his teammates frantically dominated Cork on the sidelines, and Mackin put his arms around his neck and shouted: "Boy, do you know how important your goal is?" Yes? Good ......"
A few hours later, it was another Spanish national derby, how could they fall behind at this time, then Mackqin's previous declaration would become extremely ridiculous.
"Haha", Cork can't tell the difference between east and west at all, and only knows crazy silly music......
