Chapter 1374: Second Season of Victory?
In the end, at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 4-2 to get another victory, and they also went more smoothly on the road to the league title.
Because winning this game will give them six points more than Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid will still be second in the table if they lose this game, so it can be said that Real Madrid is six points ahead of the second-placed team in the table.
That's a valuable six points, and it lays the groundwork for the upcoming Champions League knockout rounds, so as not to put too much pressure on Real Madrid and give them some room to make mistakes.
Of course, no one wants to make mistakes, and if you keep your nerves tense, it's not good for the team, and it doesn't hurt to relax a little.
……
At the post-match press conference, Simeone seemed a little helpless, he didn't want to speak, and finally was forced to be helpless, so he said: "Yes, Real Madrid is very strong, they have a superstar like Lin Yu, and we don't, but we won't just admit defeat, the season is still very long, and the outcome is unpredictable." ”
Simeone is a man who won't throw in the towel, because he knows that if he concedes, it will affect the morale of the whole team, which is not good for anyone.
And his words are very interesting, he did not say how the other players of Real Madrid are, but specifically said that Real Madrid is strong because of Lin Yu, which means that if Real Madrid does not have Lin Yu, they will not be afraid of this team.
In fact, he is not wrong to say so, with the current strength of Atletico Madrid, he is really qualified to challenge Real Madrid.
Zidane is not the same as Simeone. He highly praised the rest of the team's players while to Lin Yu. But I just passed it casually.
'It was a team win and our players were all very good. Especially Ronaldo and Royce, they showed their good strength at critical moments, and of course, Lin Yu was also the key to winning this game. ”
When he said this, he didn't mean to deny Lin Yu's credit, but he felt that Lin Yu was going to leave after the end of this season, and it was better to encourage other players more, and he believed that Lin Yu would not be angry with him because of this kind of thing.
And that's exactly what happened. Lin Yu had heard enough compliments, and sometimes he was even a little bored, and he gave some compliments to his teammates, Lin Yu didn't have any opinions.
……
Although the win against Atletico Madrid created good conditions for the league title, Real Madrid will face an equally formidable opponent next, and that is Arsenal.
And most importantly, there wasn't much rest in between, just three days. Luckily, it's a home game, so you don't have to travel long distances, otherwise they would be even more tired.
When the weather is cold, the bones of the body are also relatively brittle. So this stage is when players are most likely to get injured, and many teams are very concerned about this. So at this stage, the rotation is more frequent.
The same goes for Real Madrid. The thick thickness of the bench gives Zidane more options to ensure that the players have time to rest.
Arsenal is actually looking forward to Lin Yu's physical strength problems. People who don't like Lin Yu in the whole world think so, and they almost open the Internet to watch the news as soon as they get up every morning, looking for any news of Lin Yu's injury.
Because of this Lin Yu's crazy game, it's not normal not to get hurt.
But they just couldn't get their wish, when the Arsenal players appeared at the Bernabeu Stadium and saw Lin Yu without the slightest fatigue, they were a little speechless, is this still human?
The narrator, too, reported on this matter as a focus.
"If I say that Lin Yu is a perpetual motion machine on the football field, I believe no one will object, this player is suspended for a red card, we have hardly seen him suspended due to injury, let alone seen him excluded from the squad due to physical exhaustion."
"Some people say that he has taken advantage of not having to play in the national team, but even so, his physical strength is still enviable. I sometimes even suspect that he is simply Superman from outer space, or a Terminator from the future! ”
The commentator's words seem to have set the tone for this game, from the future terminator, can it still end Arsenal?
So, relying on Lin Yu's two goals at home, Real Madrid defeated Arsenal 2-0 and did not give Arsenal any chance to try to score away goals.
Even if Arsenal are strong now, they are still a drop in the bucket compared to Real Madrid, and they don't have any chances at the Santiago Bernabeu, and if they want to win, they can only find a way to win at their home stadium, the Emirates Stadium.
……
Winning Atletico Madrid and Arsenal in a row, almost all the media chanted that Real Madrid was invincible.
So far, what is amazing is that not only in the league, but also in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid still maintains a winning record.
And Lin Yu's number of goals, unconsciously, has reached a height that no one can reach.
In the twenty-third round of the league, Real Madrid played at home against Deportivo La Coruna, and this game was basically a point giveaway, because Deportivo La Coruna had long been scared by Real Madrid, and this was another game at Real Madrid's home stadium, so it was even easier to win.
In the end, Lin Yu did not show mercy to this team, and once again staged a goal frenzy of five blessings, helping the team beat Deportivo La Coruna 9-0 at home.
In the twenty-three rounds, Lin Yu has scored 69 league goals, which is the number of goals he can only score in a season in the past.
He's been really crazy about scoring goals this season.
Although as of now, it seems that there is still a little suspense in the competition for the league championship, but in the eyes of many people, as long as Lin Yu maintains his current state, it is basically a certainty to win the championship in the end. Atletico Madrid, the only one who can pose a threat to them, is six points behind them.
As for Barcelona, they don't want to win the title at all this season. So far, they are hovering between fifth and fourth in the league. Fortunately, it did not continue to decline, otherwise, it is estimated that Enrique will soon be fired by the club's top management.
Probably the top management also found out that even if a manager comes at this time, it can't shake Real Madrid's chances of winning the championship, so just let Enrique take this season down, anyway, Barcelona's results in the Champions League are not bad.
There is little doubt that Real Madrid will win the league title now, what they are guessing is now. Whether Real Madrid will be able to win the title in the end.
It is important to know that although Real Madrid has been very strong in recent seasons, it has not won all seasons in any season.
And Lin Yu's all-win record is only in Dortmund, this season he is about to retire, before retiring, he also wants to win the championship in a beautiful way, in that case, it should be more perfect.
"We should now clearly recognize a reality, in La Liga. Real Madrid are already the absolute hegemon, no team can beat them, and the other teams want to compete for a place in the Champions League, they want to compete for a place in the Europa League. If you want to be relegated, then don't want to take points against Real Madrid and face Real Madrid. They can only disarm and surrender. Atletico Madrid fought hard and almost won. But in the end, they were beaten by Real Madrid. It's a tragic reality, and no one can doubt it anymore. ”
This is after the end of the Deportivo game, a media report, even these media, began to feel that Real Madrid is a bit too powerful, the former La Liga two-person turn, three-person line, almost completely become the current one.
……
After the 24th round of the league, Real Madrid finally got a better rest, and five days later, they welcomed the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, this time against Valencia.
Such an opponent, you say he is strong, but he is actually not strong, but you say that he is weak, he may not really lose to you.
And under normal circumstances, these teams fight fiercely in the Copa del Rey, because it is basically impossible to win the league championship, but it is still possible to fight for the Copa del Rey.
Valencia are currently fourth in the league, higher than Barcelona, and it's no coincidence that they've been in this position, so if they take it lightly, it's certainly a lesson to be learned.
Zidane warned his players before the game, citing the Atletico Madrid game as an illustration.
"Do you know what it is, and at the beginning of that game, someone else scored two goals in a row? It's not that you're weaker than them, it's that you're too underestimated. ”
The Copa del Rey format is home and away.
Real Madrid's first leg against Valencia was played away first, which means they have to travel again.
It's good that this is in the country, and after playing Deportivo La Coruna, I also had a good rest for a while, and the situation is not too bad.
……
Real Madrid did not dare to underestimate Valencia, and Valencia was simply afraid of Real Madrid.
In this season's league, in the first half of the season, they were directly overturned for some reason, and there was no room for resistance at all, so when they met Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey again, they were actually a little helpless, for what would be us, for what was not someone else, why were we so unlucky?
That's what they think, but when they meet, then they have to fight, if you lose and win, you have to fight, the Copa del Rey is different from the league, you lose to Real Madrid in the league, and you can send other teams to earn points, but if you lose, then there is no hope.
Now Valencia doesn't know how much they want to let Real Madrid play with the youth team as they did last season.
It's a pity that it's just a special case, this season Real Madrid will not be so risky in order to avoid the six crowns, and more importantly, Lin Yu's last season, of course, he has to win all the championships with his teammates, and it is impossible to mix with the players of the youth team anymore, which is also a favor.
Valencia has no other advantage, they can only rely on the home field, earn a little advantage points, if they are defeated by Real Madrid at home, then there is no need to play away, because there is no hope of basic victory.
……
Valencia adopted a counter-attacking tactic at home, which is also something that cannot be helped, they dare not attack, and they have to score, and defensive counterattack is the best way.
And they also know the style of play of Real Madrid, this Real Madrid is offensive football, completely offensive football, and even gave up the tactics of defensive counterattack, just because there is a Lin Yu in front, and the attack is simply domineering.
Valencia knew that they might lose, but they didn't want to lose, so they played very carefully, maintained a very strict tactical discipline from the beginning of the game, absolutely no mistakes, absolutely no mistakes, because any small mistake may give Real Madrid a chance to score, and they will not forget that the guy standing opposite is Lin Yu, not someone else.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, Valencia is desperate enough, they are willing to defend, they are willing to attack, every time they are very calm and desperate, but who let them meet Lin Yu who is a god to block and kill God, and a Buddha to block and kill Buddha.
