Chapter 1018: Blessings and Misfortunes

The Champions League quarterfinals were drawn to Napoli, which is not good news for Real Madrid, it is not good, it is because in recent seasons, Real Madrid has played very little against Napoli, no experience, it is not bad, that is because Real Madrid is strong enough to face no one, not to mention that Napoli's results are not as good as imagined.

Of course, this draw is still very interesting, because Napoli has several former Real Madrid players, such as Higuain, Callejon, and Alviol, and the two teams will inevitably produce a lot of stories when they meet.

On the other hand, Napoli's home stadium is known as the Devil's Stadium, and the fans there are crazy and impulsive, and Lin Yu has been there when he was at Chelsea, and he has indeed felt that atmosphere.

He's not afraid of the so-called devil's home stadium because he's the biggest ghost himself, but he's a little worried that some of the players in the team will lose their form away from home, so he has to do a little bit more against Napoli.

……

The first league game after the Christmas break, and the penultimate league game of the first half of the season, will be Real Madrid at home against the incoming Espanyol.

This team, like Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid, is also a very difficult team, although they are not strong, they are tenacious enough and dare to face hard.

They are bitter enemies of the same city as Barcelona, but they will not admit it in front of Real Madrid.

Coupled with the conjecture of whether Lin Yu could score 30 goals in the first half, fans and the media were full of attention to this game that could not be regarded as the focus.

In the face of record-setting pressure, many people will choose to back down or simply panic and don't know what to do. People just want to see if Lin Yu is really like the legend now. You can face all pressures and deal with them calmly, completely unaffected.

It's another record. Or kneeling in front of the record, it's really an interesting thing, and it's worth paying attention to.

……

For such a record, Lin Yu also wants to try to break through, because only by constantly challenging himself and challenging seemingly impossible things can he not lose himself in achievements and honors, and can he continue to improve, or at least maintain his peak level for a long time. Doesn't go downhill right away.

No one can resist the invasion of the years, the state will decline sooner or later, no one can guarantee that he will always be at the top, but Lin Yu does not have the luxury of hoping that he can play football for a lifetime, as long as he can maintain his peak for a few more years, let him continue to gallop in football for a few more years, it will be enough.

And the best way to stay at the top is to continue to challenge yourself and continue to pursue higher glory.

But to say he's going to panic in the face of a record-break. That's unfounded, when has this person ever been afraid?

Even the media that don't support Lin Yu don't believe that Lin Yu will lose his cool in the face of such a record.

In fact, Lin Yu did not disappoint them. The match against Espanyol started with a moment of 31 minutes. It was a little longer, but his goal still came, a precise volley in front of goal. The ball passed through the crack and hung directly in the dead corner.

"Pressure? I don't think there should be such a word in Lin Yu's dictionary. For him, stress may be synonymous with motivation. ”

'He scored again. At present, the number of goals in the first half has reached 29, I hope he can continue to work hard, every record he has is an important stroke in the history of football, we fans or commentators, even if we wait until Lin Yu retires to talk about it, we will be very excited. ”

"Thirty goals left, can he achieve thirty goals? Or is it to break the record he has set himself? ”

Lin Yu's celebration after scoring a goal was very ordinary, as if this goal was simply deserved, but it seemed to be true, for people like him, isn't scoring goals commonplace?

However, the rest of Real Madrid's players were a little excited, because the game was not easy, and the Espanyol's tenacity prevented them from scoring for a long time, and it felt difficult to play.

Usually doing a move does not take much energy, but today, the effort required to do the same action is three or four times that of the past, and the first half is not over yet, and everyone is already tired.

Lin Yu's goal was like an uplifting medicine, making everyone instantly energetic.

It's a win!

That's what everyone thinks.

In the stands, Du Liben and his friends from the Demon King Club were a little apprehensive, their newly created songs had not yet been practiced, and if they sang at this time, they would definitely be messy and would not achieve any effect.

But they very much hope that this song can be sung when Lin Yu has scored thirty goals, and they are even a little worried that Lin Yu will score thirty goals today, and they will be a little helpless when the time comes.

What is it called? It's called the trouble of happiness!

While other striker fans are still worrying about whether their idols can score goals, they are worrying about their idols scoring too many goals and how to celebrate.

……

Lin Yu's goal seemed to break the solid armor of the Spaniards, and the next game became very easy, and the Spaniards did not play as well as before, judging from the situation on the field, it was easy to judge what the next result would be.

There is no need to worry about the Espanyol equaliser, what needs to be paid attention to is that Real Madrid can score a few goals in the next game time.

Some of the media who had been following this game were feeling a little bored: "Damn, can't you surprise us?" Espanyol, you just win Real Madrid once, isn't it good to let them fall behind? ”

They may not have any ill intentions in this way, they just want to make the game more exciting, they want to make the competition for the La Liga title more intense, but for Real Madrid players and Real Madrid fans, the more stable the game, the better, they don't need stimulation. While a comeback win can be exciting, they hope to be able to secure an early victory.

It was a good game. Everyone was very nervous for more than 30 minutes in the first 30 minutes, but Lin Yu scored a goal. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Three minutes after Lin Yu's goal, Di Maria doubled the score with another world wave.

The time was now Madrid time, and the Spaniards had no power to resist.

This is different from Barcelona's senseless possession, but completely suppresses the opponent, giving the opponent a huge advantage without even a single counter-attack, so that the opponent does not see any hope.

However, in this game, there was an accident in the end, not an accident of victory or defeat, but at the beginning of the second half. At the back, Raphael Varane was tackled by a Spaniard player and fell to the ground.

Although Zidane sent Pepe to replace Varane, he has not been reassured that the partnership of Varane and Luiz has now become the core partner of Real Madrid's backline.

Once Raphael Varane is injured, things will not be good, at least Real Madrid's defensive ability will drop a lot.

Ramos is easy to get a hand, like in this game. He was supposed to start, but he was suspended because of a red card, and there were only four centre-backs at the back, and now Raphael Varane is injured. That really made Zidane worry.

The most troublesome thing was not this, after more than ten minutes, Bale actually fell into the Spaniard's penalty area with a scream.

The referee showed the Espanyol player a red card. And a penalty was awarded, but in Zidane's opinion. This kind of game that has been won is a penalty. If you want a red card, I want my players to be intact.

Damn it!

In the end, the score was locked at 4-0, two of which were penalties, but the whole Real Madrid team was not happy.

Bale is injured, Varane is also injured, these are the main players this season, which makes Zidane feel heartbroken.

What's even more troublesome is that after the game, after the check, the superstar of the team noticed Cristiano. Ronaldo also has a problem with his ankle and has to be checked.

In this game, although Ronaldo was not as miserable as Bale and Varane, he was also knocked down many times, and his ankle was kicked out, thinking it was just a skin injury, so the team doctor bandaged it and let him continue to play, but a post-game examination was not like this at all.

Later, Zidane got accurate information that Varane would have to miss at least a month's games, Bale would be even worse, and it was estimated that he would be reimbursed in two or three months, and Ronaldo was in a slightly better condition, but he also had to rest and recover for about fifteen days.

In other words, a very serious situation is in front of Zidane.

Injury!

Although Real Madrid have players who can be replaced in these positions, what if the substitute is injured again?

He thinks it's the trouble caused by the players during the Christmas holidays because they relax their training and then go back to the pitch to participate in the fierce confrontation, but he can't say that, it's tantamount to blaming the players for the fault, and it's a holiday, it should be a day of rest, and the lack of training is not a fault.

And there is no point in blaming anyone now, the key is how to avoid the constant injuries of the players in the future.

Although it is a good practice to add to the lineup, if everyone is injured, there is no point in adding more, and ten is not enough, so it is better to focus on prevention.

Zidane plans to talk to the physical trainer about the future training, or to insist on physical confrontation and physical training, so as to avoid a lot of injuries.

……

After the game, most of the media also reported on Real Madrid's injury problem, they felt that this problem may be more important than anything, no matter how strong Lin Yu is, he has no doppelganger skills, and it is impossible to do other things for his teammates.

"The theme of this game is injury! Ronaldo, Bale, Varane! This will inevitably be overshadowed by Real Madrid's road to the title. ”

"If Lin Yu is compared to a turret, then his teammates are the shelves that set up the turrets, and if these shelves fall, then the cannons will not be able to fire."

Of course, there are also people who use this matter to attack Lin Yu, anyway, it seems that no matter when, they can find a reason to criticize and ridicule Lin Yu.

"Shouldn't Lin Yu change his personality, for the sake of his teammates, don't you know that it is precisely because of your provocation that your injuries will continue to be injured?"

Lin Yu simply ignored such criticism, and what he was most concerned about now was the injury of his teammates.

Others may not think anything, but as Lin Yu, as this successful superstar, the more he comes to this point, the more he knows how to cherish his teammates, and the more he knows how much the existence of his teammates helps him.

If the back line doesn't concede goals, then he can play more comfortably and with more peace of mind.

If you can play a good ball in midfield, he'll play better and score more goals.

Bell and Cristiano. Ronaldo was able to make some wonderful combinations with him that made the opponent unable to defend, and it was not his credit alone, but everyone's, if these people were injured, he was alone, maybe he would still score today, but it was definitely much more difficult than now.

What's more, it's really depressing to see your teammates get injured and you can't do anything about it. (To be continued......)
