Chapter 446: The Galaxy Battleship Sinks?
Although Mourinho tried to use the Champions League semi-final gap to extend the league advantage, in fact did not succeed, and instead dropped two points and played a draw, he was not pessimistic and disappointed, but a little happy. Because his players seem to have found that fighting spirit for the team again.
Laziness and arrogance are no longer there in the team, and the players don't want to have a heaven or hell tragedy in the final part of the season, and since they have been able to perform well for most of the season, it is time to continue to persevere.
It doesn't matter if it's the Champions League, the league or the FA Cup, it's all about winning.
In addition, the importance of Lin Yu is undoubted, but Mourinho still doesn't want the players to rely too much on Lin Yu, if a person is too dependent, this is not a good thing, because other players will be relatively lazy or relaxed. They will have a thought, "Anyway, there is someone who can help the team win, and it's okay for me to be lazy".
And the away game with Swansea successfully solved this problem, in fact, this is just a psychological problem of the players, as long as you figure it out and wake up, it is not difficult to solve it.
With this big problem solved, Mourinho can wait for Real Madrid in London with peace of mind, because the second leg of the semi-final has arrived.
Real Madrid is very popular, and many of the stars in the team also have their own fans around the world, including London, which also has a large number of fans.
Even though Cristiano Ronaldo has played for Manchester United, and even fought against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, there are still many fans who like him. Liking a star and liking a team are not contradictory sometimes.
at the airport. Fans from all over the UK were there plenty to pick them up, which made the Real Madrid players feel the warmth of the English. In particular, many Manchester United fans in the past still miss the teenager Cristiano Ronaldo who was at Old Trafford, and now that Ronaldo is coming to play in London, they rushed over from Manchester to cheer for Ronaldo.
Fans sometimes don't think the same way as the players, such as Manchester United, who might want Chelsea to knock out Real Madrid and reach the final, after all, Chelsea are a Premier League team. If they win the Champions League, it will be regarded as the glory of the entire Premier League, and it has nothing to do with Real Madrid whether they win the championship or not.
This is rarely the case among Manchester United fans, with a large number of them supporting Real Madrid to take out Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Why?
The reason is simple, many of Manchester United's fans see Chelsea as their enemies, and this season Chelsea not only eliminated Manchester United in the FA Cup, but also overwhelmed Manchester United in the league, for whom they are enemies, and they would rather Real Madrid from La Liga reach the final. I don't want the Chelsea fans to be complacent.
They don't care about the Premier League, they just like Manchester United, then the enemy of Manchester United's enemies, that is, friends. So it's no surprise that they support Real Madrid.
Not only Manchester United fans, but also some Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool. Even Tottenham fans joined in, they were also the team that were suppressed by Chelsea. Even double killing, how can you swallow the resentment in your heart? Since I can't take revenge. Then leave this revenge to someone else to take revenge, although it may not be very cool, but it is much better than not being able to take revenge.
For these things, Chelsea's senior management is a little worried, they feel that Real Madrid has not been under the huge pressure that the away team should have, but has received a lot of support, and it is not better than the home game, because these fans of other clubs who support them will never boo them, even if they play stinky, as long as there is still the possibility of turning defeat into victory, these fans will cheer for them.
But Mourinho didn't care, he seemed to be on the verge of victory, always with an unfathomable smile on his face, and even the media tried to pry his mouth open, but only got a salty and non-salty sentence from his mouth: "This will undoubtedly be a good game." ”
Fortunately, they can go and interview Lin Yu, Lin Yu has nothing to do with Real Madrid, and he doesn't care so much about Real Madrid's feelings.
"Are you saying the home atmosphere isn't strong enough? Isn't the pressure on Real Madrid enough? Lin Yu asked.
'Yes, if Stamford Bridge can't put pressure on Real Madrid, Chelsea could have played very hard, don't you think?'
Lin Yu shook his head with a smile and said: "Relying on the fans to win, relying on the atmosphere of the home stadium to scare the opponent, that is a manifestation of inability, we rely on our own strength, so whether it is home or away, our performance will not be discounted." ”
These words impressed the media, and in today's football, many games are played by some external factors outside or on the field, which play a very important role.
For example, intrigue between coaches (non-tactical), or abuse and boos from fans, or even harassing the away team's accommodation to make the away team sleep well, so as to form an advantage, there are very few duels between pure strength.
And this time, Chelsea fans didn't do anything bad for Real Madrid because Lin Yu said such a thing, some fans felt that Lin Yu was right, anyway, he had already won away from home, so don't play those fancy intestines anymore, it's not interesting, and it's embarrassing, and some fans are angry, "Since you Lin Yu said that you don't rely on the power of the home field, you can win the game only by strength, then we simply don't cheer, and we don't boo and abuse!" ”
But no one expected that such a situation would make the Real Madrid players who are used to being booed away feel very uncomfortable, and the Stamford Bridge stadium has tens of thousands of Chelsea fans, but it is terrifyingly quiet, which makes them worried and uneasy.
Especially Ronaldo, the duel between him and Messi is already a good story in football, almost as long as someone mentions Messi, Ronaldo will be mentioned, and the name Messi has almost become a weapon used by hostile fans to hack Ronaldo. But Ronaldo may have been booed more times than Lin Yu, but he took the boos as a stimulus, and the more others booed him. The better he performs.
But today there were no boos, no one shouted Messi's name. He was a little absent-minded, always looking into the stands from time to time. He sometimes even wondered if there were any fans sitting in the stands, so quiet.
The fans who followed Real Madrid wanted to shout, but they were also confused by this atmosphere, and they didn't know whether to shout or not, the game had started for about ten minutes, and they were still hesitating.
The impact of the accident made Real Madrid play very badly from the beginning, and Ancelotti watched from the sidelines, simply shaking his head. He may have even seen the future picture of his class, he doesn't know what happened to his team, obviously there is still a lot of morale in the locker room, why can't he play a game?
The reason is that the whole Real Madrid team may still care too much about winning and losing, caring too much about the championship, and they always shout to win the tenth crown, at the time of the round of 16 every year. They shouted like this, and they didn't understand their actual situation at all, which led to their psychological quality being a little too poor, and when they ran into trouble. It will immediately be thought that this year's champion is out of play, and then it will collapse directly.
By the thirtieth minute, Chelsea were in the lead. It wasn't Lin Yu who scored, it was Mata. He found the back of the net with a long-range shot that was held by Casillas.
Juan Mata looked very excited when he scored the goal. For him, Real Madrid is a history of disappointment, a history of abandonment, who came out of the Real Madrid academy but was unable to play for Real Madrid, and had to move to other teams in La Liga before finally coming to Chelsea.
Now, he no longer misses going to Real Madrid to play, but that some regret, some unwillingness, and some resentment made him uncontrollable after scoring this goal, which may not be regarded as revenge, anyway, the players from the Real Madrid academy, there are not many who end up playing in Real Madrid, but they all went outside to gradually become famous, but it can be regarded as a proof of their past.
He just wants to show the world that he Mata is no worse than Real Madrid's players!
"Juan Mata!" The narrator is also familiar with Mata's history, so he is also very excited that Juan Mata can score this goal, or maybe more excited than Mata himself.
In the stands, the originally angry Chelsea fans couldn't help it at this time, they raised their hands to cheer and celebrate, leading 1:0 at home and 3:1 on aggregate, which is basically a confirmed place to advance to the final.
And those fans who followed Real Madrid here, from Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, etc., were helpless and disappointed, they thought that Real Madrid's revenge would be very fierce, but they didn't expect Real Madrid to even be in the form of the home team, but Chelsea scored a goal first, how to play this game?
If Chelsea is a weak team, maybe even with this score, they don't dare to say that they can safely enter the final, but they are Chelsea, a strong team that is not weaker than Real Madrid, how can they let Real Madrid go wild here? So Chelsea fans are already celebrating their promotion to the final, and they are now focused on the second leg of Barcelona's and Bayern Munich matches tomorrow, and who their opponents will be.
The Real Madrid players who were scored became more wooden and helpless, Casillas's eyes revealed confusion and sadness, if you love Real Madrid deeply, I am afraid that I am about to cry at this time, but I am helpless, what is it!
Ronaldo bit his lip and stared at the Chelsea goal, he is probably the only one who is still unwilling to admit defeat on the field, this person's desire to win is always so strong, until the last moment, he seems to never admit defeat, as if he will never admit defeat.
Not to mention, Lin Yu really appreciates such a character, but it's a pity that the two are enemies now, otherwise, he believes that he will definitely become friends with Ronaldo.
"Real Madrid, the second generation of luxury Galaxy Battleship, has never been able to touch the Champions League trophy, in the Mourinho era, they were very close to this trophy, and this season, they are also full of confidence, but they fell in the semi-finals again, unable to enter the final, who should I tell this grievance?"
"The Champions League is brutal, no matter how strong your background is, no matter how luxurious your squad is, no matter how much you want that title, if you don't have the quality and you don't perform well, then you will be eliminated, there is no doubt about that."
'Even though Real Madrid have a strong enough squad at the moment, and despite all the possibilities for winning the Champions League, they are a little less lucky because they have faced Chelsea, which is much stronger in this era, who is to blame for that?'
"Will Carlo Ancelotti remain at Real Madrid? Will Galaxy Battleship II sink in this inaction? When the time comes, will there be a Galaxy III? Probably not, after all, spending so much money but not getting good results, this is not enough to satisfy the majority of Real Madrid's members. ”
At this time, even England's commentator is a little sympathetic to Real Madrid, a great team, there may be no Chelsea, no Lin Yu, Real Madrid may really be able to win the Champions League trophy this season and achieve their great revival, but the reality is so cruel. (To be continued......)
