Chapter 1058: The European Derby
After taking the lead in points, Klopp was happy, but he didn't show a smug look, as a coach, he knew very well that this was just a temporary lead, Real Madrid is a third-tier battle, and his own team is not? Real Madrid suffered a loss in this round of the league, and it is difficult to guarantee that Barcelona will not suffer in the next round of the league, so people who are smarter will choose to keep a low profile.
But Klopp's low-key doesn't mean his players are low-key.
was almost overwhelmed by Real Madrid, and they kept listening to Lin Yu's arrogant words, they had already been holding back their anger, and now that they were in the lead, they didn't stand up and say a few words?
Pique was the first to speak: "What? Lin Yu still dares to say that he wants to win the league championship? We don't take Barcelona seriously! ”
Xavi: "In the current championship situation, we should say that we have a slight advantage, I don't understand where Lin Yu's confidence comes from. ”
Messi: "I don't want to comment on that person, I just know that we have been looking forward to this league title for a long time and will not give it to others easily. ”
Butzks: "It would be a great honour for me to win the championship with Real Madrid. ”
The reason why these Barcelona players are so high-profile is, of course, because the accumulated anger is so great that they need an outlet to vent.
Second, at present, Real Madrid is still unbeaten, but it has fallen to second place in the standings, and the pressure on the players must be very great, they just want to add fuel to the fire, and add another fire, so that the hearts of Real Madrid's players are full of fear and pressure.
Finally, there is a direct collapse. That would be wonderful.
After the draw, do you dare to continue the rotation? Rotation is dead, not rotation. Exhaust your players and end up dying one.
……
Real Madrid were held to a draw by Rayo Vallecano. This became the first big news in La Liga, because it was not just a game for Real Madrid that should not drop points, but more importantly, it would most likely decide the La Liga title this season.
Although Barcelona doesn't seem to have made much of a leap from one point behind Real Madrid to one point ahead, it is different from the previous situation after all, when everyone thought that Real Madrid was invincible, Real Madrid had such a draw, so there should not be a situation of overturning in the gutter.
What does this mean?
It shows that Real Madrid also has weaknesses and can be attacked. This will make the rest of the season even more suspenseful.
However, some media believe that such a situation is unlikely to happen, and Real Madrid's schedule is obviously better than Barcelona, after all, teams like Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao have passed.
And Real Madrid and Barcelona have another chance to go head-to-head, which is a chance to take all three points.
This is true for Real Madrid and it is also true for Barcelona.
If Real Madrid wins this matchup, then the title is basically theirs, but if Barcelona win this game. Even if it is drawn, then it could be a big blow to Real Madrid.
Because they might lose the championship.
Between these two teams, there is also an Atletico Madrid, and this season's Atletico Madrid is actually not bad. At the end of this round, they are three points behind Real Madrid and four points behind Barcelona.
This credit. In fact, there is still hope of winning the championship, but compared to the first two teams. It's a bit worse.
And it just so happens that the next round is a showdown between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, if Atletico Madrid can take all three points. Then they will be closer to the top two in the table, and Barcelona's hopes of winning the title will be much lower.
If Atletico Madrid are going to give up the title and let Barcelona go, then Real Madrid must be one of the unlucky.
However, it seems that this possibility is not very likely, and Atletico Madrid's relationship with Barcelona and Real Madrid is not very good.
One is a sworn enemy in the same city, the other is a small national derby, and they themselves have the possibility of winning the championship, so how to play the next round of the game is actually a bit contradictory for them.
It's just that Simeone won't be entangled, he has also figured out how to deal with Barcelona, if he can't compete for the championship, he will really regret it for the rest of his life, so against Barcelona, he may send the strongest lineup.
……
After 28 rounds of league games, although only one draw has been obtained, the Real Madriders are not dwelling on the time of this game, because the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League has already been announced, and they will have to be careful of their opponents in this game.
Because there is no so-called first and second place in the group, it is possible to draw any team in this draw, and Real Madrid is very honored, they have drawn the strongest attacking team in football other than them - Bayern Munich.
"Is it Bayern Munich's revenge? Or will Real Madrid continue to qualify? ”
"After the results of this draw, the expressions on the faces of Bayern Munich's top management were unnatural. This is also normal, after all, they are drawn by the strongest team in football today, a team that no one wants to meet. We caught up with Pep Guardiola in the first days of the draw, hoping to hear some thoughts from him about the draw, but Pep Guardiola's answer was very characteristic - the opponent is strong, but we are also very strong, and it is uncertain who will win or lose. ”
To put it bluntly, this answer is the same as not answering, everyone knows that if these two teams meet, although Real Madrid has a better chance of winning, but before the results come out, no one is sure which one will advance.
"Showdown of the giants! European Derby! For neutral fans, the matchup between two attacking teams is bound to become a classic, at least this game will not fall asleep. But it's not a good thing for fans of these two teams, to meet so early. That means one team will be eliminated, which is also a loss for the Champions League. But even so, the Champions League is the Champions League. Since they have encountered each other, they must decide a male and female. ”
Zidane was very arrogant, and Real Madrid's top management seemed to be very satisfied with the result, because our reporters noticed that at the time of the draw, the moment the result was obtained, Real Madrid representatives, including Raul, had a relaxed smile on their faces. Zidane even said in an interview afterwards - Bayern Munich? Have they beaten us in recent seasons? ”
Zidane's report on the media was a little laughable. That's right, he said that he was not afraid of Bayern Munich, but he didn't say anything so hateful, these media are really so talented, no wonder Lin Yu hates the media so much.
Of course, Real Madrid is indeed not afraid of Bayern Munich, but the problem is that this season, the league is also very tight, and now it is encountering such an opponent. There is nothing good for Real Madrid. In contrast, Barcelona's opponents are much weaker, Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen, who have been dubbed the season's big package.
Real Madrid also want to draw Bayer Leverkusen, in that case. Victory would have been a lot easier, but now, even if you have the final qualification. That's going to be exhausting for Bayern Munich, which is definitely not a good thing.
What's even more unpleasant. La Liga this season is also a pain in the ass because after the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Real Madrid will welcome Barcelona at home, which has touched two former universe teams in a row, and is currently one of the strongest teams in Europe, who can afford it?
If it is the first season to coach Real Madrid, it is estimated that Zidane will begin to think about whether to give up the league or the Champions League, after all, such a schedule is really too unfavorable for Real Madrid, as if even God has to fight against Real Madrid in the dark.
But Zidane also knows that he can't give up, not because of what Lin Yu once said, but because as a giant coach, as a coach with such a superstar as Lin Yu under his hands, he can't give up easily.
The Club World Cup can be given up because it is chicken ribs, and even the Copa del Rey can be given up, and that has nothing to do with the big picture, but the league and the Champions League, these two heavyweight champions must not be given up lightly, and he can even predict that if he intends to give up one of them, then the club will fire him the next day.
You must remember that there are so many people who plan to be the head coach of Real Madrid now, and everyone wants to be Lin Yu's coach.
Not only that, as far as Zidane is concerned, he is not the kind of person who gives up easily, so what if God is against him? What about Bayern Munich? I'll show you all that!
It's not just a question of his managerial position, it's a question of whether Real Madrid will have the courage to play the next games.
If he wants to give up any championship, it will inevitably cause a serious blow to the team's morale, and the first to bear the brunt is probably Lin Yu, Lin Yu once publicly said that he wanted to win the league championship and the Champions League, you said to give up at this time? Where does that put him?
Zidane understands Lin Yu's status in this team very well, it can be said that without Lin Yu, there would be no Real Madrid today, his coach, or relying on Lin Yu's help to gradually grasp the power, if the relationship with Lin Yu is bad, then I really don't know what will happen next.
On the other hand, Lin Yu can now do everything possible to maintain his face as a head coach, whether it is in the team or externally, Lin Yu always supports him as a head coach, even from a personal point of view, he can't make Lin Yu stumbling at this time.
The Champions League must be won, and the league must be won.
Zinedine Zidane has now decided not to give up either of these two titles, and if it really can't, he would rather give up the Copa del Rey, after all, the Copa del Rey is no longer a placebo for Real Madrid to lick their wounds.
It used to be because they couldn't win the league and the Champions League, but now, they have the Champions League and the league to win, so what if the Copa del Rey is let out?
Therefore, in the next quarterfinals against Bayern Munich, Zidane still decided to send the strongest lineup.
For Real Madrid, there are two teams that can't lose no matter what, one is Barcelona, and the other is Bayern Munich, needless to say, and Bayern Munich, mainly because of the existence of Guardiola, plus Bayern Munich has twice and three times blocked Real Madrid out of the final, this feud cannot but be remembered.
The next encounter with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid is not a bad thing, because Zidane found that the morale of his players was very high, and he did not look discouraged at all.
Of course, the happiest person for this draw is Klopp, whose team not only avoided Bayern Munich and Chelsea, but also drew a Bayer Leverkusen that is recognized as a big package, which is undoubtedly a kind of luck.
What's more, he can see that the tough clash between Bayern and Real Madrid is tough, and whoever finally advances may be a huge physical drain. (To be continued......)
