Section 515 State
For football, the end of April can be said to be the time of the year, there will always be the most pressure on people, after a season of hard work, whether it is the league or the cup, to the end of April, is the time to see results, and whenever it comes to this time, those teams who have the ability to compete for results, will feel the pressure on themselves. - ←→x79 novel.com
And this pressure, on the one hand, comes from the football 'fans', and on the other hand, it also comes from the media. At such times, the media will always pay more attention to the teams that have the hope of winning the championship in each league, which is also a terrible thing for the team. Of course, people like to win, but if they can't win, they will be pointed out by thousands of people, and it is difficult for anyone to be happy.
However, in the eyes of the media themselves, their approach is definitely not wrong. Focusing on who might be playing better before a game is a normal thing to do in the media. For example, before the second leg of the upcoming Champions League semi-finals, it is normal for the media to look at the league results to see who is likely to win. As the weekend approached, almost all the media had their eyes on the four teams in the Champions League semi-finals to see what they could do.
In the weekend game, Bayern used a substitute lineup to face the opponent in the game, obviously, they have won the league championship, and they are extremely concerned about this Champions League game that they have fallen behind, as long as the Champions League can achieve results, they are willing to make more sacrifices for this, even if they are kicked by the opponent in the league, they don't care at all.
In contrast, Real Madrid was not so lucky in this game: anyway, there are still four rounds in La Liga, and Real Madrid is only 5 points behind, although it seems unlikely that they will win the championship, but as long as there is still the possibility of 'sex', a team like Real Madrid cannot give up the opportunity. Although it can be said that Real Madrid has been winning the tenth championship in the Champions League for many years, the league has been suppressed by Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Football fans are also unwilling to accept that Ancelotti must be distracted from the league game and cannot afford to abandon it.
In this way, Bayern is quite lucky. But on the other hand. It doesn't seem like the pressure on Real Madrid is too great. Their opponent in this game is not a top team, but just Osasuna, who is in the relegation zone, and in the face of such an opponent, Real Madrid does not have to 'spend' much effort.
Although there are times when the relegation team does fight hard in the game. However, the possibility of desperately relegating and defeating the top teams is still not very 'sexual'. A charter maniac like Wigan Athletic, after all, is still relatively rare. Moreover, with the huge disparity in the strength of the teams in La Liga, the possibility of a relegation weak team defeating Real Madrid and Barcelona is really too small.
In this game, Real Madrid did not make any mistakes. Carlo Ancelotti doesn't like rotation and hasn't always been very good at playing on two fronts, but in this game, his team won easily.
Real Madrid still made some rotations in this game, and they had Beal in the team. Players such as Benzema did not play. However, even so, Real Madrid still did not give the opponent any chance, in the game, Ronaldo only took 50 minutes to score two goals, further for him to work hard for the top position in the 'shooter' list, but also helped Real Madrid to ensure the victory of the game, even if he was replaced early in the 60th minute, this game, Real Madrid still do not have to worry about failure.
Bayern's opponents may not be as lucky as Bayern and can be relieved of the league's worries early. However, they faced a weak relegation team, which also allowed them to preserve their fighting power. In this regard, the German media can only sigh that the relegation team in La Liga is really not powerful. Throughout the game, Osasuna failed to pose any threat to Real Madrid, making it too easy for Real Madrid to win.
Compared to them, the relegation teams on the Bundesliga side are simply murderous and unimaginable guys. If nothing else, at least Freiburg is in this round. It was the one who defeated Wolfsburg.
As another team to play in the Champions League, Wolfsburg's performance in this round of matches has also been under the watch. What makes the media feel unsurprising is that, like Bayern, Wolfsburg also chose to use substitute players to face the game in this game. Bayern has secured their championship and has no 'desire', while Wolfsburg has already determined the top three, and there is not much pressure. As the team that also lost in the Champions League, their choices are very similar.
In this game, the players used by Wolves are basically their bench players, except for one De Bruyne, who is still one of the main offensive players of Wolves in the second half of the season, and the other players are basically used for training. Marin, who has been abandoned in the first half of the season, and Makoto Hasebe, who has not had a chance to play in another season, have all played in this game, and Wolfsburg is simply unwilling to take it seriously.
This kind of attitude naturally makes their game not very good. Although De Bruyne has worked hard, he still can't support their overall strength. Compared with Wolfsburg, Freiburg's side played a completely different game because of the pressure of relegation. During the game, they were always looking for an attack, constantly making various offensive attempts, and this eventually allowed them to find an opportunity to break through the big 'gate' of Wolfsburg in the game and take away a victory.
Obviously, without the strength of Real Madrid, it is quite impossible to cope with it and be able to defeat the opponent. Wolfsburg's strength is still a little worse after all, since it wants to stay in the game with Atletico Madrid, then in the league, it is naturally impossible to guarantee combat effectiveness. However, the good news is that Wolfsburg have already secured their league position, and they are not afraid that there will be no Champions League to play next season, and even if they deal with it this way, it is not a big deal.
After all, their league wins and losses are now a matter of routine – in contrast, it's not them who really need to worry about the league, it's Atletico Madrid.
Like Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid's league pressure at this time is also very huge. As the current top of the league table, although Atletico Madrid are four points ahead of second-placed Barcelona, they are likely to be overturned by Barcelona because their last game was against Barcelona. And in order not to happen like that, they don't dare to have any accidents now. Unlike Wolfsburg, who did not hesitate to throw the game in the league, they still need to deal with the game at this time, and this week, they have not had an easy time.
Moreover, the most annoying thing for Atletico Madrid is that Atletico Madrid needs to face Valencia away in this week's league game. It wasn't a good game to play, and it was one of their biggest challenges.
As one of the giants of La Liga, Valencia is not as strong as the top teams, but it is also the team most likely to overturn the top of the league. Valencia, which has always been based as a second-tier team in La Liga, has no shortage of 'color' in a certain game to defeat the Spanish Super League. Although this season, Valencia has had poor results due to some management problems, and even in the middle of the season, an unimaginable change in the winter has made a very dynamic season, but even so, they are still in the Europa League, successfully 'advanced' to the semi-finals, their strength is still not to be underestimated, it is still very scary.
Atletico are now at the top of the table, but against them at the top of the table, the game is not easy to play. Especially now that Valencia have not played well in the league, they have not completely lost the possibility of qualifying for next season's Europa League, and they will need to grab points for victory in the final rounds. Therefore, in this game, they also played extremely hard, and the pressure on Atletico Madrid was still very high.
Compared with Wolfsburg, Atletico Madrid's situation can indeed be said to be much worse. The toughness of the opponent forced them to have a hard-fought battle in the league. And this long ball did make Atletico Madrid suffer a lot, Valencia played quite well in the game, and in contrast, because of the 90-minute battle with Wolfsburg, the physical strength of the Atletico Madrid players was a little lacking, so the performance was not very good. In the game, Diego Costa successively 'waved' two one-on-one knives, which also made Atletico Madrid quite close to the opponent in the game.
For Atletico Madrid, what made them happiest was that they still scored in this game: after a wide attack, Felipe's cross was headed into the goal by Raul Garcia, and this goal made Atletico finally win and win 1-0.
However, Atletico Madrid still exposed a lot of problems in this game. The worst news for them was that the victory didn't come easily: until the 90th minute of the game, Valencia didn't give up on the counter-attack. And it was in the final stage that Atletico Madrid was physically exhausted, and it was difficult to maintain the defense. Valencia's attack in the final stage, Atletico Madrid was no longer able to intercept the opponent, and Juanfran had to choose to tackle behind in order to stop Valencia's attack, and he also received a red card.
On the bright side, this red card is a red card in the league and will not affect Juanfrán's appearance in the Champions League. But on the bad side, Atletico went wrong at the last minute, on the one hand, the media accused Atletico of violence and on the other hand, they obviously 'revealed' that they had physical problems.
Towards the end of the season, it's no surprise that there are fitness problems. But with such a question, whether they will be caught off guard by Wolfsburg will find an opportunity, which is more terrifying. This topic has also become the focus of media discussion: it seems that Bayern has a low probability of turning the tables, so can Wolfsburg achieve a comeback in the second leg?
