Chapter 1397: I can't do it myself
Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund met in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and finally helped the home team beat the visitors 2-0 thanks to two goals from Lin Yu.
This score is almost desperate for Dortmund's road to qualification, but on the other hand, they rely on their own hard work and hard work to ensure that they do not lose too many goals, which can barely be regarded as a successful defense battle.
After the game, the players of both sides exchanged jerseys in a friendly manner.
In the center of the court, Lin Yu and Subotic had their jerseys on their shoulders, and their right hands were clasped tightly together.
"There's really no way, I'm still losing to you." Subotic smiled wryly.
"Of course, but I was a little surprised by your tenacity, I was going to settle the fight in one round, but what I didn't expect was that I only scored two goals." Lin Yu said with a smile.
"You stink, don't you. By the way, with these two goals, your kid has twenty-seven goals in the Champions League this season, and there are only three left from your goal of 30 goals, and there are still two games left before the end of the Champions League, I think it should be fine, right? ”
"Why don't you release the water in the next round and let me get a few more?" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Get out! You still need someone to release the, I have to think about how to prevent you now, alas, after the end of this season, I guess I will announce my retirement, I'm too old to play. Subotic sighed.
"You're retiring too?"
"What do you mean I want too? Are you planning to retire too? It's impossible, your kid is only thirty years old after his birthday in May, and he retired at such a young age? ”
"Who knows?" Lin Yu said vaguely. Then he changed the topic and said, "I'll invite a few of you to dinner after today's game, alas." Now Dortmund has few acquaintances. ”
"yes, it used to be a lineup that was called the golden generation. There are really not many people now, but I'm definitely going to go if you have a treat, and I'll invite you back in the next round when you get to Dortmund. ”
……
After the first leg of the semi-final clash with Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid also ushered in the 36th round of their league tie, and this game is against Valencia, who are currently fifth in the league, and if this game is played on the road, there may be some suspense. And now it is played at the Bernabeu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid, in fact, before the game has started, Valencia has already begun to plan to avoid this matchup, they are currently competing with Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao for the Champions League places, if you waste your energy in a boring duel with Real Madrid, you are an idiot.
Unless they really think they can beat Real Madrid, it's better not to have that kind of non-centrifugal thinking.
Valencia manager Pizzi even made a very surprising and bold decision in order to be able to play well in the next league game, and he intends to send the reserve team to participate in this league matchup.
That's right. It's a loss anyway, so it's better to exercise the young people by the way, and at the same time let the players of the main team take a good rest, so why not?
Pizzi's idea is very good. is also very calm, after all, he has recognized the reality, and it is useless to know how hard he struggles. Facing Real Madrid is a dead end, which is a bit like a horse race. Just use the inferior horse to fight the superior horse of Real Madrid, and then use the superior horse against the rest of the team.
However, Pizzi's approach has also caused some players in the team to show dissatisfaction. Especially striker Hernandez.
Since moving from Manchester United to Valencia, Hernandez's performance has been remarkable, but because of Lin Yu, Messi, Cristiano in La Liga. The presence of such superstars as Ronaldo, even Diego. Costa is also more famous and stronger than him, so he gradually becomes a bit unknown.
Atletico Madrid has finally reached the Champions League final, but Valencia has always been eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 and even in the group stage, which has always been a very unhappy thing for Hernandez.
He wants to find a chance to prove his strength, so how to prove it? It was in this match against Real Madrid that one or two goals were scored.
At that time, the media will be headlined with "Hernandez leads Valencia reserve team to Real Madrid", and he will definitely be famous again.
Of course, he wasn't so arrogant as to think he could lead the reserve team to a victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, all he wanted was goals, just news.
So he went to Pizzi and told him what he thought.
Pizzi was a little angry at first when he heard Hernandez's thoughts, why did he send a reserve team to play Real Madrid? Isn't it just to be able to ensure enough rest time for the main players, Hernandez is now the absolute main force of the team.
But then I thought about it, this kid has been a little frizzy lately, and his football is not solid enough, if he can use Real Madrid's hand to teach this kid a lesson, maybe he can become down-to-earth again.
As for the next game, he still has the veteran Rodrygo at his disposal, as well as the talented young striker Alcacer from Spain, and in fact, it is no problem to have Hernandez on the bench.
After thinking of this, he nodded and agreed to Hernandez's request, in fact, he also wanted to see what Hernandez could do with leading a reserve team, but now he was not optimistic in his heart, and felt that Hernandez would be difficult to score.
After all, Little Pea is not Lin Yu, Lin Yu can lead the youth team to win the Copa del Rey, which is guided by Lin Yu's strong strength, but Hernandez definitely does not have Lin Yu's terrible strength to turn the tide.
……
Hernandez's heart was full of blood after receiving an affirmative answer from head coach Pizzi.
He always thought he should be a first-class striker, but he didn't have a chance at Manchester United and lacked good team-mates to partner him in Valencia. If he can do well in this game, maybe he can leave Valencia. Go to another giant, a giant that can let him play the main force. At that time, he believed that even if he was not as good as Lin Yu and Messi, he could still be with Diego. Costa, Mandzukic, Van Persie are on par.
He was proud of his decision and was heartily praised.
This is definitely a good opportunity for him to make a name for himself, and he has even begun to fantasize about the scene in his mind that he will kill all sides in the game and make the players of the reserve team stunned, this kind of scene he has not only fantasized about once, he has seen Lin Yu lead the youth team to play Barcelona's Copa del Rey final, and he has watched it more than once. He even fantasized that he was Lin Yu many times to satisfy the little vanity in his heart.
It's definitely a good opportunity, he doesn't expect much help from the players in the reserves, he can score goals on his own, and Real Madrid's defence is not the best on the planet, he has that confidence.
Maybe he can even face Lin Yu face to face, the media will put himself and Lin Yu on the front page at the same time, and he can become a celebrity in the eyes of the media like Lin Yu.
He is not afraid that the players in the reserve team will not cooperate with him, after all, he is the main player of the first team. If you are willing to condescend to play with the players in the reserve team, it is already very face-saving.
Of course, this was just his idea.
He felt that the players of the Real Madrid youth team could stammered Lin Yu in every way and welcomed him in every way. It's just because Lin Yu is the main player of the first team, which has nothing to do with strength, it's just a different status.
It's a pity that this kid obviously thinks badly. Even the players in the reserve squad are ambitious. There was arrogance, the reason why Lin Yu was able to subdue those young people. It is not the status of the so-called main force of the first team, let alone the status of the captain, but his terrible strength, and the relationship he has long had with the reserves.
And these are all things that Hernandez does not have.
Hernandez's strength is not bad, but compared to Lin Yu, it is really 108,000 miles behind.
It's not clear that the Valencia reserve team players will take the opportunity to give him small shoes to wear, so that he deliberately does not perform well, this is the reality.
It's just that Hernandez doesn't understand, he has never had such an experience, he just unilaterally thinks that what Lin Yu has done, others can also do.
……
When the game started and the match lists of the two sides were announced, the media couldn't help but be stunned.
What's going on? The powerful Real Madrid is almost the main lineup, and even Lin Yu is on the field, but Valencia, who is obviously not strong, has chosen a lineup that is basically all reserve players.
"Maybe he wants to give up this game, Pizzi must be ready to spend his energy on other opponents, and he also knows that his team can't beat Real Madrid, so he just give up."
"That's not right, why is Hernandez, the absolute main force of the team, also on the field, unreliable?"
Everyone was surprised, Hernandez led the reserve team against Real Madrid, what is the trouble?
In fact, Valencia's squad also amused the Real Madrid players.
"Captain, do you see, people are looking down on us, and they actually sent almost all the reserve team lineup, what are you going to do?" Royce put one hand on Lin Yu's shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Do you need to ask? Since they gave us such a good chance, let's abuse a few more, anyway, I still have to score goals, how many should I score? How about ten? ”
"Ten! You really dare to think about it, but with your strength, it's possible, after all, the opponents are basically all players from the reserve team. Royce gave a thumbs up.
"Basically? Are there any people who aren't reserve players? Lin Yu asked.
"You're pretending to be stupid, that Hernandez is the absolute main striker of their first team, don't make trouble." Royce scolded with a laugh.
"Really? I don't see any main force for what, players of that level, come to our team and only have the qualifications to go to the reserve team. Lin Yu grinned.
"I'll go, you're really ...... But this also makes sense, the strength of that player is not bad, but it is really impossible to enter our first team, let alone the main team, when he comes to our team, he is a reserve team level player. Royce thought about it, Lin Yu's words were really not nonsense, and they really made some sense.
"Captain, people obviously want to pay tribute to you, don't you give some face?" Cristiano. Ronaldo also quipped.
"Salute to me? That has to have the strength to salute me! Otherwise, it's nonsense! (To be continued......)
