Chapter 1375: The Battle of London
Even Valencia, who tried their best, still lost to a strong opponent on their home turf.
Real Madrid won easily, with Lin Yu netting a hat-trick to help the team beat Valencia 3-0.
For Valencia, if you lose this game, then there is basically no hope, a very simple truth, you have lost three goals at home, do you still want to win back away from home, at the terrible Bernabeu Stadium of Real Madrid?
People who are realistic will not have such fantasies.
The Valencia manager didn't even attend the press conference after the game, but let the assistant coach go, he was very sad and helpless, he just wanted to find a place to be quiet and he didn't want to believe that it was a fact.
……
After the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, Real Madrid continued to move forward and will return to the league against Elche, which is almost another game to give away points.
Even Real Madrid's players felt that this game was too easy, and Elche did not choose to defend from the beginning, but used this game as an opportunity to practice tactics and play against Real Madrid.
They seem to think that conceding a goal is nothing, and they completely use Real Madrid as a sparring partner.
Of course, such an ending is also very tragic, in the away game, Lin Yu scored twice, Cristiano. Ronaldo scored twice, James. Rodriguez scored a hat-trick and Reus also scored a goal to make it 8-0.
For Real Madrid. It's a score for nothing, and for Elche. It seemed like a lot of losses in this game, but they didn't have any sadness. One by one, they seemed quite excited.
This probably has something to do with the mentality, they directly regarded this game as a friendly match, and if they lose, they will lose, the key is to practice tactics.
But Real Madrid didn't play well, because this game was an away game, they thought that Elche would put down the bus and wait for them, so that they could continue to contact the way to break the bus through this game, but who knew that the other party was completely uncooperative.
Real Madrid was angry. It turned out to be troublesome.
The unlucky one is the next opponent.
The next match was the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, against Valencia, but at the Bernabeu.
……
Valencia really fell into blood mold, they never expected Real Madrid to be angry with Elche, but they had to find a balance on them.
In fact, Valencia is already planning to give up, because of a 0:3 loss at home, both the players and the coach understand that they have no possibility of advancing and facing the mighty Real Madrid. It's better to throw in the towel.
But Real Madrid is too much of a bully.
In just one minute of the opening game, Lin Yu scored, which was completely a goal that looked down on people, even after no one. Also wore the goalkeeper's small door.
This makes Valencia's players very unhappy, what do you want to do? If you win a game, you still want to humiliate people?
So, they were angry. The next game is simply a fight, it doesn't matter if you are Real Madrid or whom. Since you look down on us, we will let you look at it.
But they did not know what to do. This is exactly what Real Madrid wants to see, the last game was angry and hasn't been vented, this game since you Valencia want to work hard, then we will accompany you to the end, just through you to vent, so as not to bring the anger to the bottom of the field.
So then, Valencia was tragic, they only cared about attacking wildly, and did not defend at all, so in the first half of the 33rd minute, Reus also came to a good scene after scoring after three people in a row.
The score changed again.
2:0。
This conceded goal did not wake up the Valencia players, in their opinion, it is already like this anyway, just fight, no matter how many you score, we have no hope of winning anyway.
As the so-called soft ones are afraid of hard, and hard ones are afraid of dying, Valencia is simply not dying at this time, and she will fight with you.
Of course, the result was tragic, and in the end, Lin Yu once again completed a hat trick in this game, defeating Valencia 4:0 at home.
Both legs were big wins, with an aggregate score of 7:0, and they took all the evil fire out on Valencia, and this team was really unlucky.
It wasn't until the end of the game that they suddenly realized who was being used as a venting tool today.
……
It should be said that Villarreal were lucky, because they met Real Madrid just as Real Madrid eliminated Valencia and advanced to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
This is the 25th round of La Liga, and Real Madrid is playing Villarreal at home.
Real Madrid may have played too crazy during this time, or it may indeed be that Villarreal's luck was too good, and they met Real Madrid, which was not particularly combative, so the final score of this game was only 1:0.
Real Madrid won, Lin Yu scored the only goal of the game, and of course helped Real Madrid get a valuable three points.
1:0 is not so relieving, but after all, it is also three points.
After this game, Lin Yu's goals in all competitions have also reached a terrifying 123, and his league goals this season alone have reached 72, which is not far from the goal of 100 goals.
There are still thirteen rounds before the end of the league, as long as Lin Yu can score about three goals per game, then scoring 100 goals will not be a problem at all, and it is entirely possible for him to do this in his state this season.
He has also scored eighteen goals in the Champions League, twelve short of his goal of 30, but let's not forget that the knockout stages of the Champions League have only just begun, and he still has a chance to score.
For people who like Lin Yu, the happiest thing to wake up every morning is to count Lin Yu's goals. Then rejoice.
And for people who hate Lin Yu, I am afraid that what they are most afraid of hearing every day is that Lin Yu has scored a goal again. Lin Yu's goal count has broken the record again, Real Madrid has won again, and so on. That's going to drive them crazy.
……
In the 26th round of the league, Real Madrid played away against Athletic Bilbao, in fact, for the team that is currently ranked third in La Liga, it is not impossible to pose a threat to Real Madrid, but the problem is that they have been beaten by Real Madrid a little overwhelmed.
Knowing that they have played each other three times so far this season, but they have lost all three times, can you expect this game to be won?
The media would have liked them to win, because Athletic Bilbao also had reasons to win. They are currently third, but they are just one and two points away from fourth and fifth-placed Valencia and Barcelona, and if they lose, they could drop to fifth.
But no matter how hard you try, against Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao still lost the game in the end, losing 0-2 to Real Madrid at their home stadium and scoring two goals in the game. It's still Lin Yu.
Many people are no stranger to Lin Yu's crazy scoring state, and what they are looking forward to now is whether Lin Yu can complete the record of 100 league goals this season.
……
Of course. The number of goals in the league depends on the number of goals in the Champions League, and the number of goals in the Champions League also depends on it, and Lin Yu's current goals in the Champions League have reached eighteen. As long as he can keep going, scoring 30 goals is not a problem.
Next up this game. It was the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final away to Arsenal.
In the last leg, Real Madrid beat Arsenal 2-0 at home. Although this score can basically be said to have cut off Arsenal's hopes of qualifying, it is only basic, and for Arsenal's players, it is not impossible to turn the tables, and for Arsenal fans, they are also looking forward to their team can have a Jedi counterattack at home.
Lin Yu returned to London, although the opponent is not Chelsea, but this is enough to attract a lot of media attention, not to mention that this game will be Arsenal's Champions League life and death, if they lose again, it is not only a matter of not being able to qualify, but more importantly, they may be ridiculed, and even Wenger may be scolded for incompetence.
A large number of media poured into the Emirates Stadium, they wanted to know the grand occasion of this game, the state of Arsenal, and the current Lin Yu, how strong has become.
Because this is the first time Lin Yu has appeared in the UK this season, England fans are not particularly intuitive about Lin Yu's transcendent state this season, and the data they get through TV and the Internet is second-hand data after all, only by looking at Lin Yu's performance on the spot, that is the real first-hand data.
And the media in London think the same thing.
……
For the members of the London branch of the Demon King Society, Lin Yu's arrival in London was definitely a great event, as if the god he worshiped had come down to inspect the earth.
When Lin Yu left Chelsea, there were many fans who had a sense of resentment towards Lin Yu, but there were some fans who were grateful for the achievements that Lin Yu brought to Chelsea and had always supported Lin Yu.
This time, because of the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea before, they didn't know who to support, but this time it was different, they could simply support Lin Yu, you must know that the relationship between Arsenal fans and Chelsea fans is not very good.
……
On the day of the game, the streets of London were already very lively, and the fans who supported Lin Yu and those who opposed Lin Yu formed two completely different factions.
What's more interesting is that among the fans who support and oppose Lin Yu, there are Chelsea fans.
However, the Emirates Stadium is Arsenal's home stadium after all, so as far as the eye can see, most of them are still Arsenal fans, with only a small number of Real Madrid and Chelsea fans in a phalanx.
This is something that is often seen away from home, so it is not surprising that Lin Yu is not here to see the fans, he is here to eliminate Arsenal.
For Chelsea, he has feelings, maybe he will be entangled, but against Arsenal, he has no feelings, he is very happy to deal with this team, no matter how he plays, he can't play too much.
If there's one taboo, it's the pre-match meal with Khedira.
Khedira invited all the familiar people of Real Madrid to dinner, and he was also very emotional during the banquet.
In fact, Khedira knows in his heart that when Arsenal meets Real Madrid, it is basically hopeless, and he does not have to be coy, this is a fact that everyone can see, and if Arsenal wants to win Real Madrid with Arsenal's current strength, it is tantamount to ascending to the sky.
"Old captain, and all old teammates, give your buddies a good time when you play, we will fight you to the death, but I don't want to die too painfully, and don't play with people, otherwise I will be angry, just a little bit, a little neater, and let the other players of Arsenal see that the gap between them and the super team in the world will not have to be so difficult in the future."
"You seem to be having something unhappy?"
"It's not a big deal, I said I would invite you to dinner, and some people were upset in their hearts, saying that you are the enemy of Arsenal and I shouldn't have done that. Bullshit, did they think I would care? I retired, I didn't sign a contract for long anyway, I told them the truth, they humiliated me with me, it's ridiculous, can I do that? I just don't want them to expect too much, and they will be sad if they lose at the worst! (To be continued......)
