Chapter 1193 The dark horse is not so easy to be
After the national derby against Barcelona, Real Madrid will play their fifth Champions League group stage game at home to Inter Milan.
Because he has been promoted in advance, the media speculated that Zidane would not show mercy and let Inter Milan go.
But their guess was clearly wrong.
Zidane has no reason to let Inter Milan go, and the two clubs don't have a friendly relationship, let alone such a good opportunity to train, how could he give up? Take this opportunity to train the newcomers, let those players who have not played for a long time find a feeling, this is all a choice, but to let go of the opponent, which Zidane never thought.
On the back line, the goalkeeper is, of course, Mignolet, when the young goalkeeper joined Real Madrid, Zidane promised that he would be in charge of all the cups, which of course includes the Super Cup, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and the Club World Cup, in fact, even if it is not rotated, the goalkeeper of this game should be Mignolet, Casillas's current physical fitness is indeed not very good, although the state is still there, but it is a bit bad to take into account the multi-line operation, it is enough for him to keep the league well.
In addition, Nacho was brought on at left wing-back, Luis and Callas at centre-back and Cesar Azpilicueta at right-back.
Originally, Azpilicueta was originally born as a right wing-back, because Mourinho lacked a suitable left full-back, so he was replaced, who knew that this guy actually played well left and right, which is really gratifying, so now whether it is left or right, as long as there is a chance, Zidane will let Azpilicueta exercise. That's a treasure.
In the midfield position, it is the partnership of Pogba and Khedira. One of these two people is a new signing, and the other is a relatively small number of playing opportunities. This time they all got their chances.
Isco is arranged in the forward position, and Isco, who also lacks opportunities, can finally prove himself today.
As for the front three, Zidane's bold arrangement today is Lin Yu on the left, Hessey on the right, and Benzema in the middle.
Lin Yu hasn't played left winger for a long time, and I don't know how many people still remember that his original position was left winger, and he liked this position very much. At the beginning, he was also proud of the number seven, but time has passed, and he did not expect to become the best winger, but the most powerful center.
In the entire lineup, only Lin Yu is fixed and unchanged, which of course has Zidane's own considerations, firstly, Lin Yu's physical strength is sufficient to meet the multi-front battle, and the recovery ability is extremely strong. Even if he really has too much physical exertion, he will recover almost after a night's rest, and secondly, because he wants Lin Yu to score a few more goals in the Champions League, after all, Lin Yu's number of goals in the Champions League this season is not the first.
I heard that Real Madrid had a big rotation. The players of Inter Milan were still happy, but when they went to the scene, they directly ran through the bottom of their hearts with 10,000 grass and mud horses.
Why is this also called a substitute lineup?
If this lineup is called a substitute. Then Inter Milan was really going to cry.
Not counting Lin Yu, any of the other players will take it out. It is also the absolute main force in the five major leagues, and there are many players and even the object of many giants.
A reporter joked: "Except for Lin Yu." This substitute lineup is probably worth three Inter Milans. ”
Of course, this is talking about the value, and judging from the current market, there really has to be such a possibility.
So there is actually no suspense in this game, with Lin Yu on the field, coupled with the lineup that completely crushed Inter Milan, and it is a home game, it is difficult to win.
The final score was 3:0.
Lin Yu scored a goal and provided an assist in the game, so it can be said that he performed in a decent manner, of course, this is only for his performance in the national derby, if compared to other players, his performance is absolutely perfect.
The other two goals, one scored by Benzema and the other was Pogba's long-range shot, Inter Milan was not only done at their home stadium and came to the away stadium, but also had no power to fight back, this is the reality.
Some people say that modern football is money football, which has tarnished football, but Lin Yu doesn't think very much, what should a player's ability be reflected? For the time being, in addition to glory, it is money, and in fact, glory is also tied to money.
Only the value can reflect the value of a player, how reasonable and fair it is. Is it fair to let those teams with low value and no ability at all win? Isn't it a win for money football?
I'm so sorry for the hard work and ability of the players.
After this game, Lin Yu's Champions League goals also reached seven, and he finally ranked first in the scorer list, but what made him a little unhappy was that there were two people tied for first place with him, one was Suarez, and the other was Lewandowski, who suddenly went crazy.
The three of them have scored seven goals, all of them are the first scorers, and Messi, who ranks second, also has six goals.
Real Madrid, who had already qualified early, had reached a total of 15 points after getting the three points in this game, which made their advantage of first place in the group even more solidified, and basically the last game against Shakhtar Donetsk became so-called garbage time.
Real Madrid, who have just won the Champions League for the third time in a row, have not been carried away by the victory, nor have they been overwhelmed by the joy, and their actions in the summer transfer period have also allowed the team to maintain its still strong fighting power.
Now the hegemons of Europe have bared their sharp fangs at those teams who are trying to seize their thrones, and they are waiting for bloodthirsty!
……
Perhaps under the aura of three consecutive Champions League titles, the La Liga championship has become less eye-catching, but how many people still remember that Real Madrid has won four consecutive La Liga titles in a hurry?
After largely finishing the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid have put their focus back on the league and everyone knows what it means to win La Liga this season. Because the number of five consecutive championships is so special, he not only symbolizes the absolute dominance of a team in the league. And it is also a kind of benchmark for five consecutive Champions League titles.
If you win five consecutive league titles, it will improve the morale of the team. That's absolutely unprecedented.
Barcelona this season is not to be underestimated, although Real Madrid did Barcelona at home and consolidated their first place in the standings, but those who watched that game know that Real Madrid did not play easily.
If that's the case at home, can we really beat Barcelona away? That's a problem!
And it's not just Barcelona, Atletico Madrid is also very tough, after Barcelona lost to Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid jumped to second place in the table. There is nothing terrible about the overall strength of this team, the key is his spirit, which is always unsettling.
Real Madrid will next face two away games in a row, one against Espanyol and the other against the yellow submarine Villarreal.
These two opponents are not strong, but one is more tenacious, and the other is crazy, sometimes strong. Sometimes it's not strong, when it's strong, even if you're Real Madrid, you dare to win. When you are weak, even if you are a relegation team, you dare to lose. It is precisely because the strength cannot be estimated, so for Real Madrid. The next two games weren't easy.
What is the biggest fear of a team trying to defend the title? It is the emergence of dark horses. A dark horse may make a strong team want to cry without tears.
Porto is a dark horse that goes black to the end!
After the restructuring of the Champions League, the participating teams have to go through a fierce battle in the group stage before entering the knockout stage, which makes it much more difficult for the small ball club to win the championship. Despite this, Porto under Jose Mourinho achieved this incredible feat in the 2003/04 season.
Porto are in the same group as Real Madrid, Marseille and Partizan Belgrade. It is unrealistic to expect to squeeze out Real Madrid, but Porto have been good enough to beat Marseille and Partizan to qualify, but they have to face a formidable opponent from Manchester United.
Porto won 2-1 at the Stadio des Dragons, and in the second leg of the Theatre of Dreams, Porto were on the edge of a cliff for a while, and United almost pushed Porto into the abyss with a 32nd-minute goal, but Costinha's magical goal in the 90th minute pulled Porto back from the edge of the cliff, and Porto eliminated United 3-2 on aggregate.
After beating Lyon 4-2 on aggregate in the quarter-finals, Porto welcomed Spanish powerhouse Deportivo La Coruna in the semi-finals, with the first leg drawn 0-0 in Portugal, with Porto desperate for an away goal in the second leg. Their aggressive attacking attitude helped them score the only goal of the game and reach the final against Monaco, another big dark horse of the year.
Unlike many previous finals, this one was a one-sided affair, with Porto beating their opponents 3-0 to see Carlos Porto win 3-0. Alberto, Decor and Alenichev contributed to each other. Porto won the second Champions League title in the team's history, which is also the first time that Porto have won the Big Ears Cup after the Champions League restructuring.
The Champions League produces dark horses, and there are many dark horses in the league.
La Liga is a tradition of dark horses, with unexpected new recruits emerging every season to play this glorious and daunting role.
They overtook Real Madrid and Barcelona with magical performances for a period of time, with some falling behind at the end of the season and some achieving relatively satisfactory results, but in the second or longer season they had to pay the price for their glory, which has become a constant practice.
The continuous emergence of dark horses shows the fierce competition in La Liga, and also reflects the same stubborn problem between La Liga teams and the Spanish national team, that is, the state is not stable enough.
Why is it that Real Madrid is so strong, but there are always some gutter overturns in La Liga every season?
In fact, the truth is here, some teams that you completely look down on will suddenly give you a knife and make you unguardable.
Whether it is the Spaniards or Villarreal, they are actually capable of making a direct cut on Real Madrid, and it depends on whether Real Madrid can avoid this situation.
No one wants to capsize in the gutter.
……
But then again, Espanyol's record against Real Madrid in recent seasons is really not very good, even if there is a dark horse, even if someone can cut a knife on Real Madrid, it always seems that it is not the turn of Espanyol.
So the Spaniards felt very bitter, as one of the La Liga teams in the Catalan region, their brilliance was all overshadowed by Barcelona, and they were simply overwhelmed.
Now, Real Madrid has let them taste the pain of being humiliated again, which is really something that people don't want to talk about.
Before the game had even begun, the media had already begun to hype that Real Madrid could take the three points lightly, as if they were not taking the Spaniard seriously at all.
But anger is anger, but what can they do? Atletico Madrid also tried to block Real Madrid at home because of anger, but still lost a 1:3, Barcelona was also full of fighting spirit to go to the Bernabeu Stadium to get all three points, but the result was still happy, defeated, what can his team do, can wrestle with Real Madrid?
You must know that since Lin Yu came to La Liga, the Spaniards have never posed any threat to Real Madrid, not even once, which has become an eternal pain in their hearts.
The consecutive defeats have actually made the Spaniards lose the courage to play against Real Madrid, without courage, how can they fight? And what about victory?
So even at home, they never thought they could beat Real Madrid, and there was not even the slightest hope, which is really sad. (To be continued......)
