The victory against Varosia had little impact on the league standings, as Barcelona also won on the same day, with a score of 3-0 and a cleaner match than Real Madrid's. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As a result, Barcelona are still at the top of the league on goal difference, but so far they have only had a measly one.
Despite the fact that Real Madrid and Barcelona are constantly winning, the gap between them is still narrowing, and Barcelona's top position in the league is already in jeopardy, and in the eyes of the mass media, there are no strong opponents for the two teams in the subsequent matches, which means that if nothing else, the showdown between them is likely to continue until the Spanish derby.
This has made La Liga the focus of the world's attention for a while, whether it is the Champions League or the domestic league, the competition between Barcelona and Real Madrid is very eye-catching.
After the Champions League last-16 clash has come to an end, UEFA has held a draw ceremony soon after, and they need to determine the next European knockout matchup.
The remaining eight teams are Barcelona, Real Madrid, Villarreal, Chelsea, Lyon, Juventus, Inter Milan and Benfica, and any other team in this club list wants to meet Villarreal or Benfica, only these two teams are fish bags, while the other teams are all European giants.
As a result, after the draw, the two lucky winners were Inter Milan and Barcelona.
Inter Milan met Villarreal and Barcelona met Benfica, and such quarter-final opponents are the envy of other teams.
After the draw ceremony, Barcelona's media cheered, and against an opponent like Benfica, it seemed to them that Barcelona could easily reach the last four of the Champions League.
The report from Le Monde Sport stood out the most, with the headline "This is the year of Barcelona and no team can stop them from winning the title." β
In the article, they pointed out that the strength of Barcelona this year is strong, Ronaldo Jr., Deco, Eto'o, Iniesta, Van Bommel and other stars gathered in Barcelona, and the team has a talented young player like Messi, the strength can be described as a flourish, which has been proved in last season's Spanish derby, Real Madrid is also star-studded, but it still easily fell 3:0 at the feet of Barcelona.
This example is purely revealing Real Madrid's scars, but fortunately, this is not the subject of the article, they emphasize the strength at the same time, but also emphasize that Barcelona's luck is good, you must know that football matches not only rely on strength, luck also accounts for a large component, Barcelona can meet a team of Benfica's level in the European quarterfinals, luck is definitely good.
"It seems that Barcelona should be grateful to UEFA, after this draw, Barcelona have already entered the last four of the Champions League, in this situation, no team can stop BarΓ§a in the way, what we hope to see is that Barcelona can hold on to the end and win the crown."
It's no surprise that Le Monde Sport has always been a supporter of Barcelona, but at the end of the article, they satirized Real Madrid's luck because they faced a difficult opponent - Chelsea!!
"When Real Madrid met Chelsea, teenager Alan . Where will the king go??? β
For Real Madrid's opponents, "World Sports News" focused on Wang Li, if anyone can stop Barcelona from moving forward, the current Barcelona fans will definitely think of Wang Li in their hearts, so what they want to see is that Wang Li is not in the state in the face of his old club, so they don't have to worry about meeting Wang Li in the Champions League.
Wang Li's most feared Barcelona fans are not his excellent skills, in fact, every player in Barcelona has good skills, and it is not his speed, but his ability to score goals, that is, that stack of shocking statistics.
So far, Wang Li has scored an average of 2.8 goals per 90 minutes of Real Madrid games, what is this efficiency?
Who can be sure that when Real Madrid and Barcelona play, this brunette kid will not score?
Fans who think so are just comforting themselves in their hearts, they know that if Real Madrid and Barcelona play, then the probability of this black-haired kid scoring is very high, that is to say, Real Madrid vs Barcelona, as long as Carlo sends Wang Li to start, then Real Madrid will be equal to a 2:0 lead.
How else is this ball played?
Every Barcelona fan is worried about this, so when they see Real Madrid draw Chelsea, they gloat.
However, Wang Li is also very much looking forward to the battle with Chelsea.
After playing against Valencia, Real Madrid took two days off, and Wang Li and Angela went to Portugal for two days to play together, and after coming back, they heard about the confrontation in Europe, and when they heard that Real Madrid's opponent was Chelsea, Wang Li had a feeling of urgent anticipation.
Chelsea, this club is a very emotional club for Wang Li.
This is not to say that Wang Li loves Chelsea deeply, but that he has many friends in the Chelsea team, such as Thomas. Clark, Joe. Cole, Frank. Frank Lampard waits, and now, Real Madrid are about to play against Chelsea, but there is no pressure on Wang Li to do so.
He's an emotional person, but he can tell the difference between personal feelings and club feelings.
His affection for Chelsea is more of a personal relationship with his Chelsea team-mates. He doesn't have much affection for Chelsea Football Club itself, if anything, just for those lovely Blues fans, that's all.
Now, Real Madrid and Chelsea play each other, and as a Real Madrid player, to play your best to beat Chelsea, that's the respect for your opponents, but also for your friends at Chelsea.
However, what Wang Li is most looking forward to is the day when he goes to Stamford Bridge, which he has not been to for nearly 10 months
After playing La Liga with Valencia, Real Madrid have three league games to play before the European quarter-finals, against Real Betis, Zaragoza and Deportivo La Coruna.
For these three games, the demand of the Real Madrid club hierarchy is that they must all win.
And what Carlo wants: if he can score more, he will score a few more goals.
There are some differences in the requirements of the two, but they both have only one purpose, which is to strive for promotion to the first place in the league before the Spanish derby, ahead of Barcelona, and meet the Spanish derby with a high attitude.
Yes, after the match against Deportivo La Coruna, it will be a new round of Spanish derbies between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
And the time of this Spanish derby makes everyone feel very nervous, because the first leg of the European quarterfinals will be held on the 29th, and the Spanish derby will be held on April 3, that is to say, this Spanish derby will be sandwiched between the European quarterfinals and knockout rounds.
In contrast, Barcelona have the advantage because their opponent in the European quarter-finals is Benfica, which is obviously not a team of the same level as Real Madrid's opponent Chelsea, Mourinho is a difficult opponent in European football, and it is almost impossible to defeat Chelsea in the first leg, even if Real Madrid has Wang Li.
Moreover, after a season of contact, Mourinho must know Wang Li very well, and Real Madrid will definitely have to experience two tough battles at that time, and the Spanish derby between these two tough battles will make Real Madrid even worse.
Carlo is even worried about whether Real Madrid will not be able to come up with a starting line-up after the Spanish derby, which he feels is likely to suffer from a wide range of injuries after two games.
Therefore, in this situation, Carlo asked the players to insist on resuming training and physical training every day, and only by ensuring their physical fitness can they ensure their physical condition in the hard game
On March 20, Spanish football ushered in the 28th round of the league, and Real Madrid hosted Real Betis.
Real Betis FC is located in Sevilla, the capital of Spain's Andalusia region, and they are direct rivals to Sevilla, but compared to Sevilla's scenery, Real Betis is a little worse, at least in terms of league results, the two teams are difficult to compare.
Since its inception, Real Betis have won only one La Liga title, which was before World War II, and the rest of the time they have been in the middle and lower reaches of the league.
However, when it comes to Real Betis, many Spanish fans will think of a word - 'ambition', this team often does something eye-catching to prove that the team has dreams and hopes, such as in 1998, Real Betis bought Brazilian international Denilson for a world-record transfer fee, but unfortunately, this transfer proved to be extremely unsuccessful, Denilson did not perform much in Real Betis, and just left the team in disgrace.
It is worth mentioning that in the dressing room before the start of the game, Carlo gave a speech to the players.
'It's clear now that we're going to have a lot of big games in the coming month and we're going to have to win them all.
The players lowered their heads, for the schedule at the end of March and the end of April, except for Wang Li, almost everyone has some pressure in their hearts, and the three consecutive league games are just appetizers, followed by the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, the Spanish national derby, and then the second leg of the European quarterfinals.
And for Real Madrid, every one of these games must be won, and this kind of demand is really a bit difficult.
Carlo said this, obviously not wanting to put some pressure on the players, and he continued with a smile: "But, guys, we are now very hopeful of winning three tournaments and becoming the treble. It's a very good prospect, and as long as we can get through this period, the Treble is beckoning. β
Hearing this, the players cheered up, now Real Madrid has reached the final of the Copa del Rey, Europe has entered the quarterfinals, and La Liga has also caught up with Barcelona, as long as it can successfully survive this period of competition, then Real Madrid will become the top of the league, the top four of the Champions League, as for the Copa del Rey? Their opponents have nothing to fear, with almost half of the trophy already in the Real Madrid showroom.
It's too tempting.
Seeing the expressions of the players, Carlo was confused, and he smiled and asked, "Who doesn't want this?" β
A lot of the players burst out laughing, and the meaning of Carlo's words was so heartwarming, even for Real Madrid, the treble is definitely a great achievement, an honor that can only be obtained by a club at the top.
No one doesn't love a championship, and Wang Li is no different, and if he wins the Triple Crown this season, he will almost double his medal tally. "Everybody else says I'm a rookie coach, and I admit it." Seeing the expressions of the players, Carlo continued: "But, as a rookie coach, I still like the championship, my dream is no worse than those big name coaches, so let's work together for the championship, if we can really become the treble at the end of the season, how wonderful it will be, those of you who continue to stay at Real Madrid will get a raise, and the value of those who want to leave Real Madrid will skyrocket"
After the championship strategy, it was the money strategy, Carlo played his ability, and he began to constantly tempt these Real Madrid stars.
As it turned out, he succeeded!
After coming out of the dressing room, Real Madrid looked excited, which made Real Betis at a loss for a while, Carlo's words really infected these players, they are now confident to work hard to get through the difficulties, and the current opponent Real Betis may not even have the qualifications to plug their teeth, what else can be said in the face of this kind of opponent?
So, at the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Betis suffered a tragedy.
Only at the end of the first half, the scoreboard hanging in the middle of the Bernabeu, the bright red handwriting has become 3:0, this score has Real Madrid fans cheering, although the opponent is not very strong, but this kind of score is too surprising.
In the second half, Real Madrid still did not give up attacking, and they used Real Betis' defense again and again to practice offensive tactics.
Now the two teams on the field all start with the word Royal, but the same 'Royal', its performance level is not at the same level at all, if Real Betis still a little bit of fighting back in the first half, the second half has completely become a tragedy.
For the full 50 minutes, they had just 1 shot, and this time it was a long-range shot from 30 meters away, and the football went straight to the plane, and goalkeeper Casillas's eyes followed the football in a 180-degree circle.
Perhaps, this second half can also be described as Wang Li's second half.
In the second half of the game, Wang Li scored four goals alone, plus one goal in the first half, he created the first five goals of his career!!
Five goals in one game!!
The final result of the game was 8-0, Real Betis was humiliated at the Bernabeu Stadium, and the brunette who scored five goals seemed more like a nightmare to them.
However, now that the nightmare is finally over, they may be able to take a breather.
It is worth mentioning that with this big victory, Real Madrid's goal difference finally surpassed Barcelona's, and for the first time this season, it sat at the top of the league table, for which Madrid fans were delighted.
And the Spanish media can't help but praise Real Madrid, after all, the score of 8:0 can be recorded in history, and Real Madrid has become the top of the league, although many people are prepared, but when they see this fact, they will still be surprised.
While the Spanish media were still singing the praises of Wang Li's goal, Real Madrid had already gone to challenge Zaragoza away from home.
This team was also Real Madrid's opponent in the Copa del Rey, and its quality may not be different from Real Betis.
With the experience of the last game, Carlo's mentality is very stable, in order to prepare for the first leg of the European match with Chelsea, he only sent half of the main squad in this game, and Wang Li also entered the substitute list.
As a result, the first half was tied between the two teams, neither team could score, and the first half ended 0-0.
In this situation, for the sake of insurance, Carlo could only replace Real Madrid's top scorer - Wang Li, so Zaragoza was looted again, and in the second half only in the 49th minute, Wang Li won the ball at the front of the penalty area, and opened the door of Zaragoza with a powerful long-range shot, opening the scoring for Real Madrid.
Then, in the 68th minute, midfielder Baptista's through ball gave Wang Li another chance, he shook off the defender, and found a single chance in front of the goalkeeper on the opposite side, in the face of this opportunity, there is no doubt that Wang Li was very easy with a hanging shot, rewriting the score to 0:2. The great performance did not end, and for the fans of Zaragoza, it should be that the nightmare did not end.
In the 81st minute of the game, Baptista's long-range shot was saved by the goalkeeper, and then Raul's follow-up shot scored another goal for Real Madrid, and the score became 3:0.
After the goal was scored, Baptista walked up to Wang Li and joked, 'You are one goal away from a hat-trick', so when the whole game entered stoppage time, Wang Li shot a wave from 40 meters from the goal - a very random hanging goal, and the mistake of the opposing goalkeeper gave him another goal statistic.
The final score was 0:4, and Wang Li once again dedicated a hat-trick.
For Wang Li's performance, the Spanish media seems to have been numb, but the data of scoring 8 goals in two games is still so shocking, compared to Wang Li, all the super shooters advocated by Spain are overshadowed.
After this game, in the data on the scorer list, Wang Li has been far ahead with 36 goals, and the second-place Eto'o has only 22 goals.
As the Royal Athletic newspaper put it, 'To Allen. For Wang, scoring goals has become a habit. β
