Even though Athletic Bilbao is not easy to deal with, Zidane still opted for rotation, which is a matter of principle, a strategy he has adhered to since the beginning of this season, and cannot be changed just because of one game.

First, the players are adapting, and secondly, they can maintain their physical strength very well, so why not?

What's more, there is not much difference between Real Madrid's rotation and non-rotation, because the strength between the substitute squad and the main squad is really not much different.

Rotation does not mean losing, let alone admitting defeat, as long as Lin Yu is here, then a lot of changes can be made around him.

This season, Zidane has long been firm in his belief in winning the six crowns, and he has come to this point, he doesn't want to give up, since he doesn't want to give up, then the scientific rotation must be done.

At present, there is still the second leg of the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey remaining, and it should not be a big problem, because the score of the first leg is relatively large, 4:2, and the opponent Malaga is not particularly strong, even if the opponent has two away goals, it is not a problem.

The Champions League has also advanced to the quarterfinals, and the quarterfinals have already been played, although the home team only beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1, it seems that the situation is not so optimistic, but this is just a delusion of the media, for Real Madrid, for Zidane, must win, and his rotation is also to prepare for the next game.

The league is still four points ahead of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which is not a small gap, as long as they remain unbeaten, then they can win the title in the penultimate game, even if they are really unfortunate to lose a game. There is also room for manoeuvre.

Zinedine Zidane is not blindly confident, and he has played on the field this season. He has analyzed the strength of other teams. He even watched the video footage of Chelsea and Bayern Munich, which may cause trouble for Real Madrid on the road to the Champions League, several times, and made some effective countermeasures.

It is precisely because he knows himself and his opponent that Zidane is so confident.

When the strength arrives, then it depends on his command, and as a head coach, rotation is the most important part, he must do a good job, otherwise it will cause a series of chain reactions, such as a certain player is dissatisfied. For example, there is too little playing time, such as the state cannot be maintained, etc.

Don't think that the head coach is easy to do, really tired.

……

In the final away game against Athletic Bilbao, although the fight was very fierce, it was still thanks to a goalmouth shot from Benzema, who came on as a substitute before the end of the game, to take the lead.

Lin Yu was not substituted, and Benzema's goal was assisted by him.

Obviously, Lin Yu is in a period of state adjustment in this game, his condition is not very good, and there are not many highlights in the whole game. But it was this last assist that helped Real Madrid get three valuable points, still leading the standings ahead of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Won 1-0 against Athletic Bilbao, a score that more or less dissatisfied reporters who are used to seeing Real Madrid's big win. They also specifically interviewed Zidane and asked Zidane's team if they could really win when they went to Paris Saint-Germain away in such a state. It's not going to capsize in the gutter, is it?

It's also interesting to talk about these reporters, when it comes to the domestic league. It's hard to go to the Black Real Madrid, but once it comes to the Champions League. They have become united, and I am afraid that with the exception of the Catalan journalists, they all support Real Madrid's victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

Zidane smiled and said: "What do you think if I tell you that this game is an adjustment? ”

After asking, Zidane left without paying attention to the stunned reporters, and then it was the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, he had to devote himself to the preparation of the game, and if he couldn't get a good result, then he would definitely be ridiculed.

Although Zidane is not afraid of being ridiculed, he also does not want to slap himself in the face, so playing Paris Saint-Germain's away game is not only to win, but also to win beautifully.

In this match, the lineup is exactly the same as the first leg at home.

Zidane's meaning is very clear, you were humiliated by Paris at home, although you won the game, but the win was not beautiful, so when you get to the away side, the opportunity for revenge has arrived, it depends on whether you can seize it.

Of course, Lin Yu has always been the starter, Zidane no longer bothered to guess why Lin Yu's physical strength is so good, anyway, there is no result, maybe people are born with physical strength beyond ordinary people, is there anything wrong?

……

The away duel is actually easier than the home game, and after the home team reached the second half, Paris Saint-Germain chose to defend and counterattack, with Thiago. Silva is very solid at the back, which has made Real Madrid's attack suffer a lot.

But the away game is different, away Paris Saint-Germain must score first, score a goal, this morale can come up, it is possible to win the game, it is possible to advance, otherwise let Real Madrid score first, it will be troublesome.

Real Madrid has always been a team that is not afraid of attacking, so this game can be said to be completely handy. Although the first goal came a little late, it was only in the 35th minute of the first half that Lin Yu took advantage of a set-piece opportunity to score the goal.

But it doesn't matter, the point is that PSG didn't score before Real Madrid scored, and that's enough, which is great news for Real Madrid, and they can put up a position to fight PSG.

Fight against the attack!

It's not that Paris Saint-Germain doesn't want to play if they don't want to play, after all, after Real Madrid's goal, the away goals have been canceled, and the score has become 3:1.

In such a game, neutral fans watched very coolly, because the two sides fought against each other, Lin Yu was in a hurry here, Ibu Baodao was not old over there, and the rest of the players were also very cooperative, and they fought very fiercely.

So much so that the game ended up being a goal shootout.

Towards the end of the first half, Paris Saint-Germain equalised thanks to Edinson Cavani's goal. But they didn't have time to rejoice for long.

Only five minutes passed after the start of the second half. Real Madrid were awarded a penalty and Bale burst into the middle. The result was Thiago. Silva brought down and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.

Royce hit, and the score was rewritten again - 2:1!

Interestingly, twenty minutes later, Paris Saint-Germain also got a penalty opportunity, Lucas Jr. burst into the penalty area with the ball, Marcelo couldn't defend and could only push him, but Lucas Jr. was not Lin Yu. Naturally, he fell to the ground, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty.

Ibrahimovic hits.

The score was rewritten again - 2:2!

It didn't end there, and in the 75th minute of the game, Lin Yu scored twice, and he hit a heavy shot from outside the penalty area to break through the Paris Saint-Germain defense and add another goal for Real Madrid.

The score is 3:2!

Just three minutes later, Lucas Jr. rewrote the score again with a stunning long-range shot from 40 yards out of the Real Madrid goal.

3:3！

"Crazy! It's really crazy. Now the two sides are no longer fighting for a promotion spot, but fighting for dignity! ”

"In fact, when the game came to this point, Paris Saint-Germain basically had no hope of qualifying, with an aggregate score of 5:4. They will need to score at least two more goals to qualify, but with just over a dozen minutes left, they will face a giant like Real Madrid. It's a little too hard. ”

The narrator is right, the last ten minutes. It was difficult for PSG to score two goals against Real Madrid, but he didn't expect it. Instead, Real Madrid used that time to seal the victory completely.

In the final ten minutes, Lin Yu scored his third goal and scored a hat-trick, while Bale also scored his first goal of the game.

In the end, the score of this game was locked at 5:3!

The aggregate score is 7:4!

Zinedine Zidane asked Real Madrid to win more beautifully, but in this game, the goal was crazy, but the defense was really ......

It's a bit of a pit!

However, Zidane did not mean to be unhappy, and he could also see that the reason why there were so many goals conceded in the end was that the victory was decided, so the players were unwilling to be weaker than their opponents in momentum, so they simply attacked and attacked, and it was actually normal to lose goals.

In fact, you are not afraid of conceding goals, the key is that this game played with morale, whether you defend or attack, we Real Madrid are not afraid of you, and that is enough.

……

The crazy game is finally over, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the players of Paris Saint-Germain rarely did not have a sad look, and in the end, they played very crazy, and it can almost be said that they took out all their offensive skills, failed to win, or the strength is inferior to others, this is no way.

"At the end of the game, Real Madrid advanced to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 7-4, can they win the Champions League for the fourth consecutive season? It's still uncertain, but seeing how hard these players are working so hard, I think it's probably a lot of hope. ”

It's not the first time for Real Madrid's players to reach the semi-finals, so they didn't get too excited to celebrate, they just high-fived each other, and they had to wait until the day they celebrated, the day they won the championship, and then they celebrated again.

Now no one says that Real Madrid's attempt to win the Champions League five times in a row is a dream, which is not the same as the previous two seasons, or even the first three seasons, in fact, after Real Madrid won the Champions League three times in a row, the attitude of the media has changed somewhat, but at that time it was not so obvious, because everyone felt that after winning the three consecutive championships, Real Madrid may fall into a trough.

And at that time, Di Maria was leaving, Xavi. Alonso retired, and the media had predicted that would be the beginning of chaos for Real Madrid.

It's a pity that Real Madrid changed the status quo after a series of big moves, the team not only did not collapse but also stabilized its position, introducing Pogba, Karas, Azpilicueta, Mignolet and other players to enrich the lineup, although a lot of money was spent, but the team's strength not only did not decline, but also seemed to have become a lot stronger.

To this day, when Real Madrid eliminated Paris Saint-Germain to advance to the semi-finals, some media exclaimed, "Is it really possible to achieve the glory of five consecutive championships?" If you win your fourth championship next season, you can really make history if you work hard next season! ”

……

No sooner had Zidane led his team back to Madrid from Paris than they knew who they would face in the semi-finals.

It's not Barcelona, it's not Atletico Madrid, it's Chelsea the last thing they want to meet.

Among the top four, La Liga occupies two places, and Atletico Madrid lost to Liverpool, but interestingly, this season directly scored a dark horse, that is, Galatasaray of the Turkish Super League.

In fact, it is said that it is a dark horse, and it is not all, Galatasaray has played in the Champions League for several seasons in a row, and has also entered the round of 16, and its strength is not weak, but it has broken into the top four, which is the first time in these seasons.

And the most interesting thing is that Galatasaray eliminated no other team, but Bayern Munich, who have ambitions to win the championship.

This surprised the world, the two sides played 2:2 on aggregate, but Galatasaray advanced by virtue of the advantage of away goals, which made Bayern Munich fans angry, but there was nothing they could do. (To be continued......)
