The media always said that Lin Yu was arrogant, arrogant, and invincible, but what they saw was only a superficial phenomenon.

The real Lin Yu, in addition to his strong personal strength, is that he knows how to play with his teammates and how to stimulate the fighting spirit and potential of his teammates!

This is why his personal ability is obviously on par with Messi, and even inferior to Messi in some aspects, but he can achieve greater success than Messi.

The more he became famous, the more he understood the importance of his teammates, but Messi drifted away from his teammates because of his fame.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that in the second leg of the Copa del Rey, Lippi sent Lin Yu again, because he found that Lin Yu's role is not just as simple as scoring goals, if he can only score goals, then Lin Yu is just a goal machine, not qualified to become the spiritual leader of Real Madrid, and what Lippi focuses on cultivating and excavating is Lin Yu's leadership temperament and great motivation for the whole team.

Of course, Lippi still did not send most of the main lineup, because after this Copa del Rey match, Chelsea will face the test of the Champions League knockout round, and this time the opponent is not Schalke 04, but Manchester City of the Premier League!

Last season, Manchester City's performance was not very good, but Pellegrini's adjustment is still very obvious, as the team's run-in degree is getting better and better, Manchester City in this season's Champions League and the league, both performed excellently, the league is only two points behind Chelsea, second, and the Champions League is excellent to reach the quarterfinals.

Although Lin Yu has defeated Manchester City many times in the Premier League. But even he felt that Manchester City was different this season, and the rest of Real Madrid's players did not dare to underestimate Manchester City. So this Champions League matchup, Lippi attaches great importance to it. He doesn't want his main players to waste energy in the Copa del Rey.

In the locker room, he told Lin Yu that this game was decided quickly, relying on the strong advantage established at home, to eliminate Atletico Madrid, and then to welcome the arrival of the Champions League quarter-knockout round in a relaxed and happy mood!

In this game, it was Benzema who played the striker, and Lin Yu still played a cameo role in the front midfield, but this time the game was obviously better than the previous leg, which may be the reason for the successive victories. Real Madrid is really becoming more and more kingly now, strategically despising the enemy, tactically valuing the enemy, and then cruelly abusing the enemy in the game!

They were joined by Alvaro Morata, Angel Di Maria, Luka Modric, Ilya Ramendi, Nacho, Pepe, Ramos and Arbeloa.

The goalkeeper is Diego López.

In this game, Lin Yu had the intention to create opportunities for his teammates from the beginning, and Benzema, Morata and Di Maria did not waste the opportunities he created like in the last game, and the game went very smoothly, even more smoothly than at home. The final score was 3:1, and after two games, Real Madrid eliminated Atletico Madrid with an aggregate score of 6:2.

Lin Yu didn't score, but all three goals were his assists. And it was Benzema, Di Maria and Morata who scored the goals!

The young Morata was particularly excited after scoring a goal, and this season because of Lin Yu's arrival, his chances in the league and Champions League are really rare. Benzema still had a chance to be a substitute, but Alvaro Morata almost missed the chance to play. So he has to show himself in the Copa del Rey, and Arsenal are said to be in contact with Real Madrid. wants to loan Morata, now in the negotiation stage, Morata also wants to take the opportunity of the game to prove himself, fortunately, he performed very well in this Copa del Rey Cup, and all this he knows in his heart that Lin Yu created him, and playing with Lin Yu, there is really a feeling of being at home, very comfortable, and very relaxed.

And this game once again proved a truth, Lin Yu can not score, but he cannot be missing on the field, Lin Yu is now changing from a goal machine to a real team leader.

Of course, Lin Yu still hasn't forgotten the desire to score, if it is in the Champions League and the league, he will never let go of any chance to score, he has a natural desire to attack in his bones, if he doesn't score, he really doesn't know if he can play happily.

That's why he's willing to take Mourinho's makeover, from a midfielder to a pure striker.

After the game, Lippi highly praised the three heroes of the goal, and also praised Lin Yu's performance, he said: "We used to lack a backbone, lack of a person who can really affect the atmosphere of the game, now we have found this person, Real Madrid is no longer the Real Madrid of the past, the Galaxy Battleship has been updated, there has been a qualitative change, I believe that our team can achieve good results in all competitions!" ”

Some media who support Real Madrid are also relieved, because Benzema and Morata are performing quite well, once Lin Yu has a problem, they can also make up for it in time, even if it is not as good as Lin Yu, but it will not be too bad, Lin Yu has injected a peculiar spirit into this team, they just need to carry out this spirit, and that is enough.

Those who have been worried that Lin Yu will not be able to support himself, and that Real Madrid's results will suddenly become bad after Lin Yu is injured or suspended for some reason, are also a little relieved, after all, in the current situation, Benzema and Morata can still share some responsibilities for Lin Yu.

……

The time has entered March, and the Champions League battle is back, and the quarter-final showdown between Real Madrid and Manchester City will also start this month.

The first leg of the matchup will be played at the Bernabeu Stadium, which is undoubtedly good news for Real Madrid, before this game, they also participated in the league and the Copa del Rey in a row, and the physical strength is naturally not suitable for long-distance travel, and Manchester City is also relatively lucky, the FA even in order to allow Manchester City to maintain a good physical strength, especially postponed a domestic league game.

After all, in the past few seasons of the Premier League, except for Chelsea, who won two Champions League titles in a row during the Lin Yu era, the results of the rest of the teams are simply too bad, which makes the FA also a little uncomfortable. So they really want to make it easier for the teams to participate in the Champions League.

So basically it can be said that this showdown. It is basically a 10% strength of Real Madrid against 10% of the strength of Manchester City, it is a duel between the dragon and the tiger!

Nevertheless. The media is still unanimously optimistic about Real Madrid, after all, this is the Bernabeu Stadium, which is the home of Real Madrid, and Manchester City is the away team, and Real Madrid has an advantage in this regard.

In addition, Lin Yu has his own experience against Manchester City, so the media unanimously believe that this game will be 6 or 4 open, basically Real Madrid should be able to win the game, but the score is not very clear, Manchester City has to do. It's just about scoring more goals away from home.

Lippi actually thinks so, he is ready for the game against Manchester City, even doing the pre-match mobilization, and he thinks the players are in excellent form.

Originally, he should be full of confidence, but when he calmed down, sitting there, Lippi couldn't help but jump his eyelids, he had been in China. It always feels like a bad omen.

Lippi drank two glasses of wine, trying to calm himself down, but to no avail, the alcohol did not make him relax. On the contrary, it made his heart beat harder, and the ominous feeling became stronger and stronger.

……

Lippi couldn't sleep peacefully. So I went for a walk outside, and it was a coincidence. He ran into Lin Yu, who also couldn't sleep because of overexcitement.

"Hey, coach. Can't you sleep too? ”

"yes, the eyelids are beating hard, it can't be some ominous omen, right?" Because Lin Yu is Chinese, Lippi will tell the truth.

Lin Yu looked at Lippihaha and said with a smile: "Coach, the left eye jumps wealth and the right eye jumps, your two eyes are jumping, it looks like a blessing and a curse, that is to say, tomorrow's victory or defeat is still in our hands." ”

"Really?" Lippi was a little skeptical.

"Oh, don't think about it, let's go play table tennis." Lin Yu sometimes relaxes and goes to play table tennis, and it just so happens that there is a table tennis table in the gym nearby.

When he pulled Lippi inside, he found Cristiano Ronaldo playing ping pong with Bale, and although the two of them may not be as good as Chinese schoolboys, they looked happy.

"Hey, you're here too!" Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale spotted Lin Yu and Lippi and stopped to say hello.

Looking at the teammates and coaches in front of him, Lin Yu also had a sense of relief in his heart, he came out today, not because he was excited or worried about playing against Manchester City tomorrow, but because he had just taken over a very difficult task from the ball king cultivator.

The name of the mission is "Who is the king of the ball?" ”

It sounds weird, but looking at the content of the task, it really adds a lot of blockages to Lin Yu, and the requirements of this task are very simple, that is, in tomorrow's game, it must score more goals than Aguero, the king of the ball!

At first glance, it seems to be easy, isn't it just that he has scored more goals than Aguero, Lin Yu used to abuse Aguero when he was in the Premier League.

But in reality, this task is not simple.

Sergio Aguero's recent form seems to have come to an abrupt end, scoring six goals and scoring two hat-tricks in two games in the quarter-finals, bringing his goal tally to 10 and becoming the top scorer in the Champions League, while Lin Yu is second with only nine goals.

After Lin Yu received the task, he was thinking, did Aguero suddenly open his mind, and suddenly comprehended what skills of the football king Maradona, and even many media publicly praised this kid for starting to surpass Messi, of course, this transcendence does not refer to the trophy, but the ability to score goals, after all, Messi has won four Golden Ball trophies, which is not something that anyone can surpass.

It was this task that made Lin Yu a little uneasy.

After playing table tennis with Lippi for a while, the two of them sat down to rest, drinking water and talking about tomorrow's game.

"Nervous?" Lippi asked.

"Nervous? No! I'm just a little excited! "That's right, from a little uneasiness at the beginning, to the excitement now, Lin Yu's ability to self-regulate is really not covered, not to mention that he has never doubted himself.

"Haha, it's really worthy of being a player who has won the Champions League trophy in a row, and I really have excellent psychological quality, but I, I haven't led a team to play in the Champions League for a long time, and I really have to be a little unsure when I meet a strong team like Manchester City." Lippi would not say this in front of other players, because it would affect morale, but he was not afraid to tell Lin Yu, because he knew what kind of person Lin Yu was, and it would be very difficult to make this guy lose his fighting spirit and morale.

"Coach, don't worry, no matter how powerful the roadblock, I, Lin Yu, kicked it away! What's more, I still have so many good teammates! None of them are vegetarians! Manchester City is just a nouveau riche, our team is a real big team! Although the results in the past few seasons have not been good, the giants are the giants, and they will not lose to the nouveau riche! Lin Yu patted his chest and said confidently.

"Are you so sure?" Lippi smiled.

"That's nature, Manchester City has a few green onions, a few treasures, I know it all! It's not a big deal, we're going for the championship, and if we can't even get past the quarter-finals, then what's the championship? (To be continued......)
