Chapter 974: The Champions League semifinals are coming

In fact, the fact that Valencia did not send a starting line-up for the 33rd round of the 2010-2011 Spanish Liga season between Valencia and Real Madrid is a joy for many fans, because it means that the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu in the middle of next week will be both sides will do their best to contribute a more exciting game.

After all, the league has entered the end of the second half, and the physical status of the players has reached a critical point, especially the big teams, who have more games than the middle and lower teams, and the schedule is more intensive, and the rest time of the main players is reduced accordingly.

It is important to know that a busy schedule will increase the chance of injury and thus reduce the excitement of the game, which is an outcome that fans who follow the game do not want to see.

Especially the neutral fans, they want to see a game of parity, and the kind of game where you score one goal and I score one......

Valencia's home league clash with Real Madrid has just come to an end, and all eyes are on the upcoming Champions League semi-finals, whether it's Real Madrid hosting Valencia or Bayern Munich taking on Barcelona at the Allianz Arena.

Real Madrid is the best football club of the 20th century, Valencia is a new force, beating the traditional giants Real Madrid and Barcelona in the country, and is now recognized as the third largest super club in La Liga.

Bayern Munich are the undisputed giants of the Bundesliga, Barcelona have been the most watched team in Spain in the past past without Real Madrid, and the two teams meet in the crucial Champions League semi-finals, which fans around the world will love to see.

At the same time, I don't want to see it.

Because meeting in the semi-finals of the Champions League means that one of the teams will be kept out of the final.

This is a loss for football fans.

So in terms of attracting the attention of fans, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are more attractive, but in fact, it should be the Champions League semi-finals of the Spanish Civil War that attract more attention.

The two teams met in the 1999-2000 Champions League final, when Real Madrid beat Valencia 3-0, much to the dismay of Valencia fans.

At that time, Real Madrid fans were very happy, winning the Champions League three times in five years.

However, it should be a turn of feng shui now, and Valencia with Ello is widely regarded as the most difficult team to beat in world football, because his team will always score one more than the opposition......

"Xavi Alonso! Be more decisive in the transfer, don't hesitate! If you have time, you will pass it on!! ”

"Cristiano Ronaldo! Shoot Shot! You're the master shooter, don't show off your foot skills, that's useless!! ”

"Gonzalo Higuain, you TM is a striker, do you know what a striker is, you can hit the goal yourself when you have the opportunity, and passing the ball in front of the goal is equivalent to squandering the opportunity, understand?"

", Sergio Ramos, you have to know that you are a centre-back now! Remember me to be decisive in the clearance and don't stick to the ball! ”

"Pepe, you play in the back midfield, don't easily foul behind when you don't have to, trust your teammates, OK?"

……

On the afternoon of his return to Madrid, Mourinho's roars could be heard at the Valdebaibas training base.

Obviously, it was the upcoming Champions League semi-finals that put him under a lot of pressure.

In fact, this set of tactics began to be practiced as early as last week, and it usually seems to be working quite well, but the approach of the game makes Mourinho begin to be a little unable to control his emotions.

During the first break during training, assistant Faria handed the drink in his hand to Mourinho, who was frowning.

Mourinho mechanically took the drink and sat down on the bench in the dugout, his eyes returning to the training ground.

Faria twisted and sat down next to Mourinho, his arms naturally pressed on his knees, his fingers crossed, and said to Mourinho: "Jose, you are too nervous. ”

"Nervous? I...... Jose, Mourinho ...... realized: he was indeed a little nervous: so he shrugged his shoulders, stretched his frown, and said lightly: "That's right, I'm a little nervous, and the overwhelming media coverage makes me think that the next game will not be won, even if it is at home." ”

Speaking of this, Mourinho paused and said meaningfully: "Ai is terrible. ”

"Did you regret choosing Real Madrid instead of Valencia?"

Faria said teasingly.

"Hehe......" Mourinho chuckled and looked up at the cloudless sky: "I just want to tell everyone that without Ai I can lead other teams to the top, but ......"

"Yes...... It turns out that the team with Ai will win the championship no matter who is in charge? ”

Mourinho rolled his eyes, his eyes froze, and his stubborn character was vividly reflected at this time: "No, because I am Jose Mourinho!" ”

The true nature of the madman is undoubtedly reflected.

Faria shook his head gently, following Mourinho for so many years, he knew how stubborn the other party was.

If there had not been Iroh, Faria would have believed Mourinho's words, but ...... Facts speak louder than anything, and with Iro, any coach can lead this team to a championship.

Aren't league wins and Copa del Rey the best proof of this?

As the game gets closer, the local media and fans in Valencia look more and more excited, and they can't wait for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final to start and then advance to the final, beating their opponents at the new Wembley Stadium to win the 2010-2011 Champions League in one fell swoop.

With more than four hours to go, tens of thousands of fans gathered around the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, as Valencia and Real Madrid's home shirts were white, making it look like a sea of white.

At this time, many TV reporters have come outside the stadium to conduct on-the-spot interviews and capture wonderful shots.

As a result, groups of fans can be seen at any time and anywhere, including home fans and Valencia fans.

Of course, it cannot be ignored that the Chinese fans holding high the five-star red flag are not the largest number, but the colors are the most vivid, so they are the most conspicuous existence.

With three hours left before the game, Real Madrid fans with membership cards and tickets were allowed to enter, and they lined up for several long queues to set up the atmosphere at home, giving the home team a boost and causing problems for the visitors.

Two and a half hours before the game, buses from both sides arrived at the designated parking area at the Bernabeu Stadium.

It was undoubtedly the craziest moment for the fans before the game, who couldn't wait to chant about the team's victory and their beloved stars.

As football media workers, they all know ...... The Champions League semi-finals are coming.
