Chapter 1055: The pressure of winning the championship undefeated

In addition to Lin Yu, many players in Real Madrid have some physical problems.

Of course, this is not a huge problem, after all, Real Madrid have one of the most luxurious benches in football today, and there are a lot of players that can be rotated.

In fact, the biggest problem lies in psychological pressure.

Everyone knows that Real Madrid have not tasted defeat so far this season, which should be a good thing, but sometimes good things can turn into trouble.

When the players are bent on maintaining this unbeaten record, there is too much pressure and tension in their hearts, making the game that should be easier to play becomes a little heavy.

Of course, Lin Yu didn't care about this, he wished that the team would win the championship, but his teammates couldn't completely maintain such a relaxed and positive attitude like him.

As a result, in this game against Malaga, from the beginning of the game, Real Madrid played very badly, with a reduced pass success rate, fewer runs, and a bit of confusion in the midfield organization.

Without the support of his teammates, Lin Yu can only fight alone, but although he is capable, he really can't often single-handedly pick up a line of defense, such a thing can be done occasionally, maybe it can be successful, if you want to do it every time, it will be impossible.

The opponent is not a stake, and every time you pass it so easily, you really don't have to kick it anymore.

Lin Yu is trying hard to break this uncomfortable feeling on the field with goals, he knows that his teammates are under too much psychological pressure, but as long as he can score. This pressure will disappear, after all, the source of pressure is to win. If you are ahead, the pressure will naturally lessen. Or even disappear.

On the sidelines, Zidane touched his chin as he stood there and walked around.

He began to feel that he was still not bold enough, if all the substitute players in this game were left, leaving only one Lin Yu, maybe the effect would be better, after all, the substitute players will be more desperate, and the pressure will not be as great as the main players.

But now that the game has begun, it is useless for him to be so cranky. can only pin his hopes on Lin Yu, and his meaning is also very clear, as long as Lin Yu can score, then the next problem is relatively simple.

……

Fortunately, although Real Madrid did not play well, Malaga's strength was limited after all, and he did not dare to attack wantonly at the Bernabeu Stadium. In this case, the two teams played a relatively close game.

Suffice it to say, the game wasn't good at all, or even ugly.

Real Madrid's fluid coordination is gone. It feels as if every player's legs are filled with lead, and every step comes at a cost of more physical strength than usual.

Malaga cowered again. I want to attack but don't dare to attack, I want to defend but I can't bear the opportunity to attack. The result is a very ugly and stalemate scene.

Lin Yu was also very unhappy with his kick, and he found himself doing his best. It's completely out of touch with his teammates, when he runs, his teammates don't pass the ball, and when it's offside, the ball comes over, wasting a great opportunity to attack.

If you take care of your teammates, you will play very awkwardly, and many opportunities that could have been won have been wasted in this kind of cooperation.

Anyway, so far in the game, it's one word - depressed.

……

Even depressed!

Even if it's not cool!

Even if the kick is very awkward!

But Lin Yu is still Lin Yu after all, his ability is there, and he will not make the opponent feel better!

Malaga finally couldn't bear it anymore and launched a counterattack, but this time it was blocked by Casillas.

After Casillas got the ball, he went directly to Lin Yu with a big foot, and he also saw that the players of Real Madrid today were not in good condition on the whole, that is, Lin Yu was in good shape, so of course he had to find Lin Yu.

As a result, Lin Yu did not disappoint Casillas, after receiving the ball, he only made a slight adjustment, and directly swung his legs on the spot to shoot.

The shot came so suddenly that the opposition goalkeeper was overwhelmed, so the ball easily slammed into the Malaga goal to give the team a temporary 1-0 lead at home.

After Lin Yu scored, he roared a few times on the sidelines almost frantically, he was going to vent his frustration in the game, the time before the key was too awkward and too uncomfortable.

In the stands, Real Madrid fans were also venting their frustration in their hearts, and for more than 30 minutes, they looked like they had fallen into a swamp, and it was difficult for them to breathe.

As Zidane and Lin Yu expected, once there is a goal, the players' mental state will be much better, after all, this season, Zidane's rotation is still doing a good job, even if some players are not physically good, but they will not be able to hold on for even 90 minutes.

Soon, Real Madrid seized the initiative and began to gradually get on the right track.

However, at this time, Malaga didn't know what kind of wind was drawn, and when Real Madrid didn't perform well, they didn't dare to attack, but now they were scored, and they seemed to have made up their minds, and they all wanted to equalize at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Real Madrid, who had just bothered to brace their spirits, was a little scrambling by this crazy attack, but when the first half was near the end, Malaga scored a goal and finally equalized the score.

At halftime, Zidane really wanted to replace all the players on the field except Lin Yu and Casillas.

It's a pity that there are only three substitutions, and he can't help but do it.

Everyone knows that the next game is the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and Zidane doesn't want to cause conflicts within the team because of today's game, if that, it won't be good for anyone.

Now the situation is more delicate, and he does not dare to say something too serious. After all, the biggest problem for the players is that the pressure is too much, and if you put pressure on them at this time. It will crush them completely, after Zidane decides this game. It is important to arrange for the players to see a psychiatrist to relieve the inner pressure, which is much more terrifying than the physical pressure.

……

The second half of the game was as boring as ever, but fortunately, Lin Yu single-handedly created an own goal in the second half to help Real Madrid get a very difficult victory at home.

I should be happy when I got three points, but I can see it. Everyone's faces were not very good-looking, some were sitting on the ground gasping for breath, and some were simply lying on the turf.

In this game, in fact, everyone is working hard, but the key is that the pressure is too much, so it leads to wanting to do it but not being able to do it.

Losing to relieve stress?

Zinedine Zidane never thought so, and neither did the Real Madrid players, and if a big team doesn't have the courage to win the title undefeated, then he doesn't deserve to be called a big club. And these players don't deserve to play for the team.

And Zidane's ideas are more extreme, he feels that what is needed at this time is not to relieve pressure. It's about breaking through the pressure and turning it into power.

Every player has a hurdle to fall in front of it every time. Or run away, and you'll never be able to cross it.

Why does Lin Yu have the terrifying ability to resist pressure now? This is not what the ball king cultivator gave him. It's the ability honed in the pressure purgatory.

Zidane does not require every player in Real Madrid to be as invincible as Lin Yu, but at least not to be crushed by the results of consecutive wins or undefeated. That would be ridiculous.

……

"At the end of the game, Lin Yu became the hero of Real Madrid again, but is it really okay for Real Madrid to be in such a state? If you continue like this, you will lose sooner or later. ”

"It's not a good thing to rely on Lin Yu to redeem every time, Lin Yu is not a real god, he also has a nap, in case he really can't do it, what should Real Madrid do?"

"We won the game, but we saw a tired Real Madrid, and it was not invincible."

When interviewed in the mixed area after the game, Lin Yu only said one sentence: "I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to be interviewed today, although we won the game, we didn't play well, to be honest, I'd rather be ridiculed than be defeated by Real Madrid!" ”

……

In the dressing room at Real Madrid, the atmosphere was a bit low, it didn't look like a team that had just won, but rather like it had lost.

Zidane walked into the dressing room, touched his chin, but did not blame the players, but clapped his hands and said: "Everyone will have pressure, let's stop here today, go back and sleep well, let yourself relax and relax, train well tomorrow, we won, that's enough, isn't it?" ”

If Zidane really thinks, he really wants to point at the noses of the players and scold them one by one, but he has also been a player, so he knows everyone's psychological state now, this kind of thing can't be done too ruthlessly, especially at Real Madrid, he doesn't want the locker room to have the same chaos as Mourinho did.

Zidane has always felt that although Mourinho is a great coach, he is not a famous player after all, so he can't think of many things with the players, which may be the shortcomings of the academy coach.

The players relaxed a little and felt a lot better, after all, they won the game, and there was no need to put on a bitter gourd face, everyone still went back to their own homes, found their own beds, and slept well, which is more important than anything else.

……

The morning sun was good, and Klopp worked out tactics overnight yesterday, so I was a little tired, so I went to bed early, and this morning I was sitting in the living room watching the news of the match between Real Madrid and Malaga.

"In a game late yesterday, Real Madrid beat Malaga 2-1 at home, Lin Yu scored a goal and created an own goal, although Real Madrid won this game, but the process was very difficult."

Seeing this, he suddenly looked up and asked his wife: "Is the match between Real Madrid and Malaga recorded?" ”

"Don't worry, it's all recorded according to what you said, you can watch it whenever you want." The wife said with a smile.

Klopp breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't watch yesterday's game, but from the news reports, he can smell something, Real Madrid seems to have something wrong, although they won the game, but it seems that everyone thinks that the end of Real Madrid has come, he must watch that game, so that he can also grasp the latest developments of Real Madrid.

After eating, Klopp locked himself in his room and watched yesterday's game three or four times.

In the end, he finally leaned back in his chair and smiled: "Sure enough, although Lin Yu is strong, he is a person after all, and football is a collective sport, the problem of Real Madrid has arisen, and this is Barcelona's opportunity!" ”

Klopp was in his room, laughing for a while, clapping for a while, people who don't know, still think he is crazy, in fact, only his wife understands how much pressure he has been under for a while, and now he sees that Real Madrid is tired, and his team has signs of overtaking, can he not be excited?
