No. 971: Champions League tragedy!
On February 26, La Liga resumed fighting.
Real Madrid travel to eighth-placed Rayo Vallecano in this round of fixtures, with Jose Mourinho only taking the top half of his squad to the Nuevo Valekas Stadium.
Rayo Vallecano is also a Madrid team, but the match between them is not as eye-catching as the match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, after all, Rayo Vallecano is not a strong team.
Chen Fan, who was absent from the friendly match of the national team, started the game and led a group of substitute players to play against the opponent.
The game was very close, Real Madrid did not show their strong strength, and Chen Fan fought alone in the frontcourt. Without strong support from his teammates, he was often surrounded by five or six people on the other side.
In this case, Chen Fan wanted to tear apart the opponent's defense, which was quite difficult.
However, Chen Fan is still Chen Fan, in the seventh minute of the second half, he began to break through with the ball near the center circle, and went all the way into the opponent's penalty area!
The opposing defender tripped him in a panic, and the referee decisively blew a penalty!
Chen Fan achieved it overnight and helped Real Madrid break the deadlock on the field.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated their opponents by one goal, got the result they wanted, and made great strides towards the La Liga championship!
The highlight of this round of matches is Atletico Madrid's home game against Barcelona, and Guardiola takes this game very seriously and does not hesitate to send all his main players to play.
Messi is still in hot form, scoring two goals in a row after falling behind by one goal, helping Barcelona to reverse the victory and win this key battle, without allowing Real Madrid to continue to widen the difference.
A week later, the 25th round of La Liga kicked off, with Real Madrid returning home to host Espanyol.
The main players returned to the starting lineup, and Chen Fan continued to start, still appearing in the left winger position.
With Benzema injured, Mourinho adjusted his line-up to include Cristiano Ronaldo in the centre-forward position and Di Maria in the right-winger position.
Such an adjustment has made Chen Fan and Ronaldo closer, and they have also sparked different sparks, allowing the world to see a different combination of Chen Fan and Ronaldo.
In the twelfth minute of the first half, Chen Fan suddenly cut inside with the ball on the side, and then made a diagonal pass.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was running with his back cross, entered the penalty area from the left side of the penalty area, pushed and shot without being marked, and the football went into the net!
This combination is very similar to Chen Fan's classic combination with Robin van Persie at Arsenal.
Ten minutes later, Ronaldo dribbled the ball in the middle, Chen Fan suddenly stepped forward, and the Portuguese kicked straight away!
Chen Fan, who arrived at the horse, pushed the shot, and the football flew into the net from the bottom right corner of the goal!
Two to zero!
In the 31st minute of the first half, Chen Fan crossed a half-high ball on the left side, and the football flew to the arc of the penalty area.
Ronaldo, who was ambushed in the arc of the penalty area, directly volleyed, and the football flew into the net from the left side of the goal like a cannonball!
Three to zero!
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, Real Madrid sealed the win!
Real Madrid entered the second half with a three-goal lead, and as soon as the game began, Alonso launched a long ball from the back.
Ronaldo rose to the ground, rubbed the header, the football flew over the Espanyol back line, and Chen Fan, who was quickly inserted, did not wait for the football to land, and stepped forward to shoot!
The football flew over the head of the Espanyol goalkeeper!
Four to zero!
Chen Fan also scored twice!
In the case that the overall situation has been decided, Mourinho will replace Chen Fan, who has been fighting continuously, after all, the Champions League knockout round is about to be played.
In the 29th minute of the second half, Di Maria crossed from the side, and Ronaldo nodded in front of the goal successfully!
Five to zero!
Cristiano Ronaldo scores a hat-trick!
Soon after, Ronaldo was also replaced by Mourinho, and in the end, Real Madrid won the opponent by five goals, and Chen Fan and Ronaldo arranged all the team's goals.
The media generally believed that Mourinho's change of formation was a success, and as Chen Fan and Ronaldo approached their positions on the field, the cooperation between them was terrifying.
Marca newspaper said: "Mr. Florentino should think carefully and find a way to keep Ronaldo, the Portuguese has proved himself to be the 'indispensable' one of the Galaxy Battleship with his own actions!" โ
The Guardian commented: "Ronaldo has made changes since the Champions League knockout tie with CSKA and he has more faith in Chen. Against Espanyol, they worked together to complete the first four goals, showing great power! โ
"Cristiano Ronaldo was able to make such a change, on the one hand, because of the desire to win the game, and on the other hand, Chen's style of play. When his teammates have a better position than himself, Chen will not force himself to shoot, he will pass the ball to his teammates, so as long as Ronaldo runs in place, there will be no chance to shoot. โ
"In short, the change in Ronaldo's style is a good phenomenon for him personally and for Real Madrid, which is very important for Real Madrid's next games!"
Real Madrid is still on a high stage, which makes Barcelona fans more and more disappointed, damn it, don't you even give us a glimmer of hope?
