Chapter 1387 La Liga Overlord vs. Premier League Overlord
The second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final clash between Real Madrid and Espanyol was the perfect time for Lin Yu to brush up on the scoresheet, and it was a good rest for the rest of the Real Madrid players.
Because the score advantage was so great, even Zidane didn't pay much attention to this game and sent almost all the substitutes.
Of course, no matter who is on, Lin Yu cannot be missing, this is Zidane's principle this season, it is not necessarily that Lin Yu has to break any records, anyway, those records have little to do with him, the reason why he did this is because he knows in his heart that Lin Yu will retire after the end of this season, and he will try his best to let Lin Yu participate in every game he can participate in.
The Spaniards said that they will not give up whether they can advance or not, and they must fight to the end.
In fact, this is just a scene, what can they do if they don't struggle, it is already ironclad impossible to advance, that is, it is only by relying on spirit that they can attract the fans of the Spaniards to care, otherwise a team without a championship, why should it attract the love of so many fans?
When Lin Yu was interviewed by the media, he said something similar: "I don't care who the opponent is, I will go all out, which can be regarded as a little respect for their efforts." ”
In fact, the bigger reason in his heart is not respect, but wanting to score more goals, if the Spaniards want to blame, they can only blame the media who have nothing to do, otherwise, they may not suffer a heavy defeat.
In fact, both sides did what they said, and the Spaniards were desperate. They want to use this fighting spirit to gain the understanding and support of the fans, after all, in the absence of a champion. The only thing they can rely on is spirit.
And what about Lin Yu. He didn't break his promise, he said he was going to give it his all, and that was to give it his all.
The game was very miserable, it was a little sad, and the Spaniards, who fought to the bottom of the game, could not stop the pace of Real Madrid's promotion, and could not stop Lin Yu's goal.
Lin Yu didn't sympathize with this, because at this moment, if he chose to show mercy to his subordinates, it would be a humiliation for this desperate spirit.
He scored four goals in the game. Helped Real Madrid beat Espanyol 4-0 at home, and also helped Real Madrid advance smoothly.
After the game, it was interesting that the Real Madrid fans in the stands actually applauded the Espanyol players, and no matter what time it was, the players who were willing to work hard for the game meant respect.
……
Real Madrid, who have qualified for the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, have not had time to enjoy this kind of fun, and they will have to devote themselves to the league again. In the twenty-ninth round of the league, their opponent is Granada, and it is basically another game to give away points.
In the game, Lin Yu continued his terrifying state and finally scored a hat-trick. Help the team win 6-0 at home.
There's not much to say about this game, and the media doesn't even cover it much, just a brief mention. After all, Granada are only an underdog, and such a match does not arouse interest at all. If Real Madrid loses, it will probably be news. But it's not news to win, so no one cares about this game, they just care about Lin Yu's goals.
The league match with Granada can only be said to be a small pebble kicked by Real Madrid on the road to winning the championship, which is insignificant at all.
Next, Lin Yu will start another week of rest and training, because it is the national team match day again, he is still not a player of the national team, so he doesn't have to worry about the national team, he just needs to train well at home, that is enough.
……
The end of the national team match is actually a bad thing for Real Madrid, because Real Madrid has too many internationals, which will definitely affect the performance of the game.
So in the next 30 rounds of the league, they played away against Rayo Vallecano, they encountered some trouble, the game did not go as smoothly as expected, most of the players had physical problems, and only Lin Yu struggled to support himself.
In the end, relying on a free kick by Lin Yu, Real Madrid defeated Rayo Vallecano 1-0 away and finally got a victory.
However, a goal is very rare for Lin Yu, especially this season, if he doesn't score two goals in a game, others will say that he is not in good shape, or that he is playing match-fixing.
In fact, this is also something that can't be helped, because in the game, Lin Yu has to take into account both offense and defense, he uses too much energy in defense, this game Real Madrid is completely pressed and beaten, don't think that the opponent is not well-known, when your players are physically weak, these teams in La Liga are very ruthless.
Because of this, he only scored one goal, but it doesn't matter, there are few goals in this game, so it's just a matter of chasing it back in the next game, it's not a big deal.
……
Next, in the draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Real Madrid met Manchester United from the Premier League.
Four teams have reached the round of 16 in the Premier League this season, as a result, Arsenal were eliminated by Real Madrid, Manchester City were eliminated by Bayern Munich, and Manchester United and Chelsea are currently left in the quarter-finals, and Real Madrid has drawn Manchester United.
Some media reported that this is to make the Premier League extinct, because everyone understands that in today's football world, when you meet Real Madrid, it is basically dead, and there is no hope.
Among the strong contenders for this Champions League, Barcelona met Borussia Dortmund, and this game will also be very interesting, whether it is Klopp's revenge, or Enrique proving that he is stronger than Klopp, for the fans, this is very interesting.
Chelsea drew Paris Saint-Germain, which can be regarded as a duel between the Premier League tycoons and the Ligue 1 tycoons, but then again, in recent years, it seems that Chelsea has spent less and less money, and has gradually taken steps towards European black spots.
But Chelsea's quality is still unquestionable, and that's what the media thinks.
Take, for example, a recent online survey where the question was, "Which team can pose a threat to Real Madrid's title win?" ”
Chelsea were the top scorers at the bottom, while Atletico Madrid was second.
Speaking of Atletico Madrid, it is definitely a strong contender for the Champions League title this season, and they will face a strong opponent Bayern Munich, whether to destroy Munich or qualify themselves, it will be a real strong conversation.
Judging from these matchups, the most attractive game is not Real Madrid and Manchester United, the two most influential giants in the world, but Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, as well as Barcelona and Dortmund.
The current Champions League has no distinction between the upper and lower halves, so it is possible for Real Madrid to meet anyone after qualifying, but they don't care, I'm afraid that what they are really afraid of is those opponents who may draw Real Madrid.
……
In the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek, Real Madrid will play Manchester United at home.
Host before guest is a double-edged sword.
If you use it well, you might be able to beat your opponent out of temper in the first round, but if you don't use it well, you'll be in trouble.
The match with Real Madrid and Manchester United was played at the same time as the match between Barcelona and Dortmund, so Lin Yu also cared a little about it, after all, one was his mortal enemy, and the other was his old club.
Barcelona's schedule is relatively good, first away and then home, the advantage is that even if you don't play well enough away, as long as there are away goals, then there is a chance to turn the tables, unlike home and away first, once it collapses, it will completely collapse.
Real Madrid did not underestimate Manchester United, after all, the opponent is one of the most successful clubs in the Premier League, although the old man has long since retired, but Van Gaal's coaching ability is not far behind, and he is still a respectable and terrible opponent.
Zidane fielded the strongest lineup in his mind for this game.
Bale was in the starting line-up for the first time since recovering from injury, and the rest of the games, which were substitutes, were still outstanding.
Manchester United is naturally not to be outdone, and Van Gaal also sent his strongest lineup, because Van Gaal understands what a terrible opponent Real Madrid is, and in the face of this opponent, if you are a little negligent, then you will lose a lot of defeat at the end, and you may not even have a little dignity, which is definitely not what he intended to see.
In another game, Barcelona is also full of main players, don't forget that Westphalen Stadium is the devil's home, even if Enrique gets to be careless in this stadium, not to mention that the opponent's coach is still very familiar with Barcelona's Klopp, this game is also sloppy.
……
The two games were played almost at the same time, and at the same time, a large number of fans even turned on their TVs and computers at the same time to watch the two games, and of course there were also two web pages on the computers to watch together.
For these two games, everyone was very happy.
The match between Real Madrid and Manchester United is undoubtedly a strong conversation, but to be honest, not many people are optimistic about Manchester United, and the match between Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund is obviously much better, because it could be an interesting revenge match.
Klopp was ousted by the Barcelona hierarchy, which made it difficult for fans who like Klopp to accept, so they had to watch Barcelona unlucky.
What a tangle!
"The duel between the Premier League and La Liga giants has begun, and we will be following another game at the same time and will provide you with the latest scores."
In fact, the commentary's minds are not all on this game, and they also want to know how the other game will be.
This is obviously underestimating Manchester United, everyone thinks that Real Madrid playing Manchester United is just easy to do.
However, at the beginning of the game, Manchester United's performance surprised many, because they did not choose to defend to the death, but boldly attacked, and there were obvious signs that they were going to break the net with Real Madrid. (To be continued......)
