New formation, new style of play, new attempts, Zidane has also changed from the initial only to rely on Lippi's small book and Lin Yu's super-level performance, to a qualified coach who knows how to think independently and find the best tactics, as for how far this coach can go, it depends on his results this season.

Entering February, there are more games, the knockout round of the Champions League is about to kick off, and the championship teams and relegation teams are increasingly feeling the importance and urgency of competing for points, so the game at this time is becoming more and more difficult to play.

On February 5, it was the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, Real Madrid encountered the opponent of Atletico Madrid, which is difficult to deal with in the league, and the other game, Barcelona encountered Valencia, which was actually not easy to play.

Because the opponent is relatively strong, Zidane did not dare to use the substitute lineup, but sent the main team in the league, almost exactly the same as the lineup that won the last league game.

Attaching importance to the strength of the strength itself, as well as the home advantage, Real Madrid finally defeated Atletico Madrid 1:0 in this game, and it was Lin Yu who scored.

It was a very difficult game, there were not many chances for both sides to score, Atletico Madrid showed their desperate desire for the Copa del Rey and played very hard, so that Real Madrid's new formation was almost impossible to use, but at the critical moment, it was Lin Yu who stood up and changed the pattern with his shocking long-range shot.

However, this score is still very suspenseful, whether it can beat Atletico Madrid and enter the final smoothly after going away, it is still difficult to say, I watched this game. Absolutely no one would dare to say that Real Madrid will be able to win against Atletico Madrid.

Of course, this is just the perception of the outside world. For Real Madrid's players, the Copa del Rey has already been booked by them. This could be their first title of the season, so they have to take the lead to show Real Madrid's strength and dominance!

If we can win this title, it will be a pretty good inspiration for both the league and the Champions League, which is very important.

Shortly after beating Atletico Madrid at home to win the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, Real Madrid travelled to Sevilla on 8 February. Play the 23rd round of the league.

In this game, Zidane made some rotations, leaving players with obvious physical problems on the bench, and some people were not in the squad at all.

Perhaps because of this rotation, at the last moment, Lin Yu relied on a direct free kick to penetrate Sevilla's goal and narrowly win the game.

And whether it was a narrow victory or a big victory, it was always a victory, and in two very difficult games in a row, Lin Yu scored. Even the goal that decided the outcome made all the teammates have a sense of trust in Lin Yu, as if as long as Lin Yu is there, the game will definitely be won. Such an idea is very important to boost the morale and morale of the team.

By the end of this round, Lin Yu's league goal tally had reached thirty-three, but that was not the most important thing for him. Because the knockout stage of the Champions League will start on the twelfth, although the Real Madrid game will not be played until a week after the twelfth game. But it's not far away, it's only on the eighteenth.

Right now. The opponents of the knockout round have all come out, as the first in the group, Real Madrid, encountered Schalke 04 from the Bundesliga, many people used to say that the Bundesliga team is Real Madrid's bitter hand, but since Lin Yu came, the situation seems to have changed a lot.

This season, the whole Real Madrid team has long been free of fear of the Bundesliga team, and even many fans are clamoring to break their wrists with Bayern, which is a manifestation of self-confidence.

Of course, everyone still understands the truth that arrogant soldiers will lose, although the opponent is not very strong, but Zidane also warned all players not to underestimate the enemy, and strive to win the opponent cleanly to advance to the quarterfinals, that is the top priority.

If Lin Yu wants to help the team win the Champions League and completely crush Messi in the number of goals in the Champions League, he can only pass Schalke 04 first.

Of course, there are also many strong teams that have entered the round of 16 this season, such as Bayern Munich, who are second in the odds to win the championship, Barcelona and Chelsea, who are tied for third, and Paris Saint-Germain, who are ranked fourth, are all difficult to deal with.

What's more, in addition to these teams, some of Lin Yu's old opponents, such as Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, are also in it, no matter who they meet, it will be a tough battle.

However, Lin Yu will not be afraid, he will be very excited, with such a powerful opponent, it is not in vain that he has a powerful technique.

Last season, he won the Champions League Golden Boot despite missing six group games, so what kind of surprise will he bring to the world this season? I believe that many fans are paying attention to Lin Yu now, even those who hate him, and want to see what kind of performance he can have.

……

Naturally, there is one thing that has to be mentioned, just a few days before the match between Real Madrid and Sevilla, FIFA held its annual awards ceremony, and Lin Yu became the biggest profiteer.

Although he didn't win the Ballon d'Or this season, UEFA gave it to his teammate Cristiano. Ronaldo, though, doesn't care, because the Portuguese superstar is a good friend of his, and he's not too rare for the European Ballon d'Or, which doesn't have a lot of influence.

But his outstanding performance can still be recognized by the world, he helped the team win the treble last season, plus the Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup this season, that is the five crowns, which are all counted in the awards, not to mention that he scored five goals in a row against Barcelona, which also amazed the world and added many points to his award.

Not only that, but after being stabbed by a Barcelona fan, he was back on the pitch just two days later and scored two goals. It also impressed many people.

So this year's FIFA Golden Ball Awards is completely unsuspenseful, and no one can compare with him. He is the only king!

When Lin Yu won the Golden Ball Trophy, almost the whole world was singing praises for him. Everyone gave all the beautiful words that they could imagine to this genius, everyone felt that Lin Yu was a genius who was rare in a hundred years, even Messi, under his light, he looked a lot inferior, and even the media began to call Lin Yu "the king of the ball".

Six seasons, five Golden Balls! This is not only more than many predecessors, but also even Messi, who was invincible at the beginning, because Messi has only won four consecutive Ballon d'Or awards.

Such an achievement can only be described as unprecedented.

As for the European Golden Ball, which is much weaker than the FIFA Golden Ball. Many media deliberately didn't mention it, not because they felt that Lin Yu was not qualified, but because they used this way to publicly humiliate Platini, is it appropriate that such an excellent player actually won a European Golden Ball Award?

It can be said that Lin Yu has now become a phenomenon in football, a miracle, and the media divides players into three categories. One is an ordinary player, the other is a genius, and the third is Lin Yu, an existence beyond a genius.

Such compliments and admiration. Of course, it will make many people unhappy, and the most unhappy of them is, of course, Messi. Once upon a time, he was the hottest man in football. At that time, the media also said that there were only two kinds of players. One is called a player, and the other is called Messi, but now, this group of wall grasses has all fallen to Lin Yu all of a sudden.

That's it, Messi, who has always been very humble and self-disciplined, finally couldn't help but speak, when the media interviewed Messi and asked Messi how he felt when he saw Lin Yu win the FIFA Golden Ball, he told the world through the media: "I just took a nap, the strongest person is still me, and I will regain the glory that belongs to me." ”

Such words are completely inconsistent with Messi's style, but many people listen to it, but they will not doubt it, in fact, the reason is very simple, when Messi ruled the football world, the reason why he was humble and didn't talk much, it was because he was indeed better than anyone else, even if he didn't say it, the result would be the same, but now it's different, now there is more Lin Yu, if he doesn't speak, I'm afraid he will really be forgotten by people.

He's not like Cristiano. Ronaldo, he doesn't have that height and toned muscles, and he doesn't have a handsome face like Torres or Beckham, he relies on his skills and results, and if he loses this, he really doesn't know what to do, so he has to work hard, this is what he told himself to do.

Now, his goal in the Champions League is still suppressed by Lin Yu, but he is working hard, trying to surpass, trying to help his team win the Champions League again, he doesn't believe that he has been kicked out of the world No. 1 throne by Lin Yu.

……

Of course, Lin Yu doesn't care what Messi thinks, he just plays at his own pace and plays every game.

In the 24th round of the league, Real Madrid ushered in the weak team Granada at home, and successfully repelled it with a score of 4:0.

By the end of this round of games, Lin Yu's goals had reached thirty-four, and Messi, who ranked second, seemed to have been stimulated by the award ceremony, and actually narrowed the gap between himself and Lin Yu to two goals, reaching thirty-two.

Such a fiery catch-up, of course, is to see the media and neutral fans applaud again and again, they are very fortunate that in this world, there is still a Messi who can compete with Lin Yu, otherwise Lin Yu will inevitably be a little too lonely.

Messi seemed to see hope, but he didn't realize that he could score crazy goals, but his physical strength could not be compared with Lin Yu, after the madness, I am afraid that he was helpless and weak, he wanted to surpass Lin Yu, but in fact, he could only run behind Lin Yu's ass.

The twenty-fifth round of the league, that is, the last round of the league before the Champions League knockout round, Zidane took into account the team's state and physical problems in this game, so he rotated, and he was ready to stay to play the Champions League, after all, in the league, Real Madrid is now the first in the standings, three points higher than Barcelona, three points higher than Atletico Madrid, even if he loses a game, he can continue to be at the top of the table with a goal difference.

But it also happened that the opponent of this game is no one else, but the championship opponent Atletico Madrid, but Atletico Madrid, like Real Madrid, is also going to play the Champions League knockout match after this league, and Atletico Madrid's opponent is still relatively strong, it is AC Milan, which has gradually recovered the majesty of the giants, and it must not be underestimated.

As a result, this ball became a tacit goal, both sides played not very hard, and finally it was a draw - 1:1, Lin Yu and Diego. Costa scored one goal each.

In fact, Atletico Madrid doesn't want a draw, because after the draw, they will be two points less than Barcelona, and the hope of winning the championship will be further disappointed, but there is no way, who makes the opponent Real Madrid, it is not so easy to win, so after this round of the league, Real Madrid is only one point more than Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid is unfortunately ranked third, and the situation of the championship is actually a little unclear.
