Chapter 80: The Battle of the Focus is Imminent!

The 30th round of La Liga is scheduled for April 30, and the Champions League is on April 2, with only three days of rest in between. In the thirtieth round, Real Madrid will continue to sit at home and face the challenge of Sevilla. Schuster hid most of his main players and sent a bench to face them.

Tang Jue and other main players did not argue with Schuster, and when there is a conflict between the Champions League and the domestic league, it is very normal to make way for the Champions League. Ruud van Nistelrooy and Gonzalo Higuain started the game, much to Robinho's displeasure, and he was determined to leave Real Madrid next season, where he would not be able to secure a place in the main team.

Real Madrid's match is scheduled for 7 p.m. and Barcelona's match is scheduled for 4 p.m. As a result, Barcelona, who came on as a substitute, lost 3-1 away to Real Betis, and if Real Madrid win this game, they will be able to pull away the points.

After the game started at 7 p.m., Real Madrid's substitute team frantically attacked Sevilla, and Ruud van Nistelrooy wanted to make a name for himself, and in the 25th minute, he took Guti's wide cross and scored to help Real Madrid take a 1-0 lead at home. After the goal, Ruud van Nistelrooy excitedly ran to the command area and hugged Schuster.

The hug was meaningful, and he wanted to be recognised by his manager and play in the Champions League.

Gonzalo Higuain extended the game with a powerful shot from in front of the box just before the end of the first half, and Real Madrid ended the first half 2-0. At the beginning of the second half, the situation changed abruptly, and Cannavaro was helpless to bring down Fabiano. Penalties, red cards!

Fabiano made it all in one fell swoop and closed the score gap. In the ensuing game. Real Madrid, who fought with one man less, defended with all their might under the command of Schuster. Sevilla, who had narrowed the gap in the score, were in high spirits and attacked aggressively. In the 25th minute of the second half, Canute received a pass from Keita and fired a shot from the left side of the box to help Sevilla equalise.

After the equalizer, Sevilla attacked like a tide, and Real Madrid could only struggle to support. Real Madrid fans in the stands shouted Tang Jue's name, hoping that he could come on the field to save Real Madrid. Schuster, who was standing in the command area, was unmoved. He shouted at his teammates. Hopefully they can withstand Sevilla's onslaught.

In the third and seventh minutes of the second half, Sevilla gave Real Madrid a fatal blow, Fabiano received Keita's diagonal pass on the right side of the penalty area and shot hard!

The ball hit Pepe's right leg as he came up to make up the defense. Change direction and fly towards the near corner of the goal. Caught off guard, Casillas was caught off guard. I could only watch the football get into the net. Sevilla FC overtook the game!

From a 2-0 lead to a 2-3 deficit, Real Madrid fell from heaven to hell. In the end, Real Madrid, who played as a substitute, lost the game. The gap between them and Barcelona is still seven points.

At the post-match press conference. The Madrid regional media put the blame for the defeat on Cannavaro. Schuster did not let the Italian captain take the blame for the defeat and took it himself.

He explained: "The responsibility for the team's defeat is on me and I put most of my squad on the bench for the Champions League game in three days' time. At the equaliser, there were fans shouting Don's name and I knew they wanted us to win and open up the points gap with Barcelona. ”

"But I'm not going to take any chances, what if he comes on the pitch and gets injured? In La Liga we still have a seven-point lead, the initiative is still in our hands, and I won't take any chances. ”

"As for Cannavaro's foul, I think it's normal and any player in the game, it's possible to make mistakes. The responsibility for losing this game is on me, not on him, and if you have any opinions, come to me. ”

"I made a promise at the beginning of the season to lead the team to the Champions League and now it's the most crucial moment. We will not let this defeat shake our resolve to win the Champions League. ”

……

Then, it will be the quarter-final between Real Madrid and Manchester United. After the draw was over, this game was shouted by Tang Jue and Ronaldo, and it was stirred. The members of the "Anti-Don Alliance" concocted the so-called "blasphemy incident", followed by a racist incident.

The development of the incident intensified, and TVE sued Tang in court with a complaint, and Tang was not to be outdone and countersued TVE. The focus starts with the UK, Barcelona, Madrid, and finally Madrid.

The game has even started to attract a lot of eyeballs and attract the attention of the whole world. UEFA snickered in the back because the broadcast rights to this game sold very well, outpacing the other three games, which in turn led to a huge increase in the overall broadcast revenue.

On April 1, major media began to predict the first leg between the two sides, and the British media boosted the morale of Manchester United ahead of their trip, with the Daily Mail saying that Real Madrid only have one superstar, and if they contain him, Manchester United can win. So United's priority is to contain the ball and keep him without space and chances to shoot in front of the penalty area.

Manchester United players, you have to be brave and bring home a win at the Bernabeu. We will meet you at Manchester Airport!

The Times said: Manchester United players should learn the lesson of last year and not defend the ball when he drops back to get the ball. Manchester United players, this is your chance to get your revenge, and you have to beat the ball to get revenge for last year's victory. Real Madrid have holes in the back, if you catch them, you can break through their goal and bring back a win!

The Observer said: Real Madrid's overall strength is average, and it is already the end of reaching the quarter-finals, and Manchester United players should hold high the banner of attack and teach a good lesson to the unbeatable ball dominance at the Bernabeu. Let him understand what Premier League football is awesome!

Manchester United players, the task is on you to achieve the success of last season's Premier League team, and the whole English fan force is behind you to support your victory over Real Madrid!

……

The Premier League occupied three of the last four quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, when the British media shouted that the time had come for the Premier League to dominate Europe. All four Premier League teams have reached the quarter-finals this season, and looking at the overall situation, it is really possible for Premier League teams to achieve last season's glory with three places in the last four.

In the match between Liverpool and Arsenal, there must be a Premier League team in the semi-finals. Chelsea's opponents are Fenerbahce. Chelsea's hopes of progressing are high. As long as Manchester United can knock out Real Madrid, they will be able to achieve last season's glory. If three Premier League teams reach the semi-finals for two consecutive seasons, the Premier League can almost sit on the top spot in the first league.

……

The team report believes that a draw is more likely, and they say: Real Madrid lost at the Bernabeu two days ago, their first defeat at home this season. Their opponents, Manchester United, also lost their main game four days earlier, losing 3-1 at Birmingham City. Both teams hid their main forces at the same time and both lost the game, so in terms of morale, it should be the same.

Manchester United will fly to Madrid this morning. Their manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. In an interview with this newspaper yesterday, he said: "We are prepared for difficulties, many people think that Real Madrid only have one superstar and the other players are not worth mentioning. Those who hold this view are wrong. Real Madrid have strong players in every position. Let's just say Casillas. Although he conceded three goals at the Bernabeu two days ago, it wasn't his fault. ”

'We know it's a tough game and the Bernabeu has been a good game. I've told my players to be mentally prepared for the boos from the home fans. There was so much attention in this game that put a lot of pressure on the players and I will find a way to take the pressure off them. ”

'Our goal is to score away from home and it's a tough game.

Sir Alex Ferguson was cautious, not about victory, only about scoring away goals, and he was quite calm. Speaking of pressure, Real Madrid are certainly under more pressure than Manchester United, and if they can't win at home, their hopes of qualifying will be dashed. Manchester United are their first formidable opponent on their way to their tenth Champions League title and the time has come to test them.

This match is a must-win match for Don. Whether it's the battle with the racists or the lawsuit with TVE, it has put a lot of pressure on his back. According to Don's character, when there is a lot of external pressure, he will choose to make bold statements before the game, and then motivate the whole team to defeat the opponent. In this way, he can hold his head held high in front of the media, criticize those who question him, and thus release all the pressure.

For him, this match is not just an ordinary Champions League quarter-final, but a continuation of his battle against racism, a battle arena against doubters. We hope that he can play at his level normally under great pressure as he has done in the past and give the fans a good game!

……

The Madrid regional media cheered Real Madrid, and Marca said: Use home advantage to humiliate the arrogant Manchester United. In the history of the Champions League, Manchester United have never been able to be proud of Real Madrid, and this time they believe that with the advantage of their overall strength, they can take a victory at the Bernabeu.

They had a good dream!

They have to dream well, first of all, ask the Real Madrid players if they agree, and ask Tang Tong if they agree!

Real Madrid soldiers, you should put down the baggage on your body, play easily, play a sharp attack at the Bernabeu, and let Manchester United see the strength of Spanish football!

Since the birth of the Champions League, Real Madrid has played Manchester United four times at home, with two wins and two draws, without losing a game. Historically, Real Madrid have the absolute upper hand. Real Madrid players, defend your home honour and continue your unbeaten run against Manchester United at home!

The Madrid regional media began a pre-match war of words with the British media, while the Catalan region did not get involved, and they focused their attention on Barca. La Liga is seven points behind and it will be difficult to snatch the La Liga title from Real Madrid, with the Champions League being their main venue.

If Real Madrid wins La Liga strongly, then Barcelona can only win the Champions League to win the glory against Real Madrid. So for Barcelona, the Champions League is their biggest hope right now. As the mouthpieces of Barça, Le Monde Sport and Daily Sport, they devote their energies to encouraging Barça players. (To be continued......)
