Securing the league title ahead of the Champions League semi-finals would be a major boon for Real Madrid, as the absence of two-front concerns would give Real Madrid players and Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich a free hand.
Bayern is in excellent form this season, with four rounds left they are 5 points ahead of Schalke, almost locked the Bundesliga title, and now there is only one task in the Champions League, as the Bundesliga hegemon, European giants, Bayern has not won the Champions League for 9 years, this time is too long, Bayern players and fans are already hungry for the championship, this year easily reached the semi-finals, and locked the league championship in advance, this is their best opportunity.
The first leg was played at Bayern's Allianz Arena, and against Real Madrid, who were also strong and capable of counter-attacking, Bayern played cautiously and did not want Real Madrid to score an away goal.
This makes Pellegrini feel a little strange, Bayern coach Van Gaal is not such a conservative coach, his coaching style has always been iron-blooded and aggressive, today's style of play is similar to Mourinho, which gives Pellegrini a lot of pressure, he originally wanted to play a defensive counterattack in this game, Bayern played so conservatively, Real Madrid's counterattack is difficult to fight.
The two sides almost finished the first half of the game in the most boring way, and after the break, the two teams still did not make any changes to the line-up and style of play on the field, and the two managers seemed to be trying to compare their patience with each other to see who could not hold their breath first.
After 20 minutes of play in the second half, the Bayern players were still calm, but the Bayern fans couldn't hold their breath, they could accept a 0:0 draw at home, but they couldn't accept that the team was timid and couldn't show the previous iron and blood.
"Get one!"
"Get one!"
……
The Bayern fans chanted into the stadium, a cry of encouragement and dissatisfaction.
Although Bayern's players can't stand it, but the discipline of head coach Van Gaal is strict, and Bayern's players don't dare to act on their own, so they can only play according to tactical discipline.
In the 75th minute of the game, Van Gaal finally made up his mind, replaced Gomez, replaced Robben, and launched a final attack into the Real Madrid penalty area, hoping to score a goal in the final stage.
Pellegrini saw that Bayern finally attacked, a big stone in his heart finally landed, a season is almost over, he is very confident in the counterattack ability of Chen Yu, Kaka, Benzema, Higuain, the front four, as long as the opponent attacks, they have the ability to use counterattacks to break the opponent's goal.
Pellegrino is worthy of being an engineer, the calculation is very accurate, Bayern attacked in less than five minutes, Real Madrid's front four seized the opportunity to counterattack, Kaka attacked with the ball in the middle, Chen Yu responded on the side, and after arriving at Bayern's 30-meter area, Kaka gave the ball to Chen Yu, Chen Yu broke through the cross, Benzema scored with a header, and the score was rewritten to 1:0.
Pellegrini calculated that the quartet of Chen Yu, Kaka, Benzema, and Higuain could break through Bayern's door, but he forgot that his defense was not stable, and then Bayern's fierce attack made Real Madrid's defense lose one or the other, and finally did not keep the fruits of victory, and Bayern striker Olic grabbed the equalizer.
Bayern drew 1:1 in the first leg, which is very beneficial to Real Madrid, which is equivalent to them getting a half-time victory and returning to the Bernabeu Stadium, as long as Real Madrid plays a 0:0 score, Real Madrid can eliminate Bayern and advance to the final.
In the other semi-final of the Champions League, Inter Milan reversed the powerful Barcelona 3-1 at home and has taken the initiative to advance to the final into their own hands.
In the 34th round of the Champions League semi-finals after the first leg, Real Madrid remained solid, beating Zaragoza 2-1 to continue to lead the table with seven points.
In the second leg of the semi-final with Bayern in midweek, Real Madrid had an away goal in hand, still defending the counterattack, waiting for Bayern to make a mistake.
Bayern's defense is actually very strong, if they also play defensive counterattacks, Real Madrid's attack is strong, and there is not much way to take Bayern, but now Bayern must attack, so that their defense line can not cope with Real Madrid's attack.
Just 20 minutes into the game, Real Madrid opened the scoring with a sharp counterattack by Chen Yu.
Bayern then gave it a go, but before they could break through Real Madrid's goal, they were knocked down again by Real Madrid's counterattack, and Chen Yu scored twice to make the score 2:0.
In the 78th minute of the second half, Real Madrid scored again, Chen Yu scored a hat trick, and Bayern Munich was completely defeated.
The last ten minutes turned into garbage time, and although Olic pulled a goal back, it was to no avail.
In the other semi-final, although Barcelona defeated Inter Milan 1-0, Inter Milan, who fought 10 men, united and finally eliminated the defending champion Barcelona with tenacious defense, and Real Madrid will meet in the Champions League final.
This year is a World Cup year, and the Champions League final starts early, starting on May 23.
In order to prepare for the Champions League final at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid has been practicing their lineup and style of play since the 35th round, looking for a way to break the Inter Milan goal.
After Real Madrid's two consecutive league wins, although Barcelona did not give up catching up and won two consecutive victories, Real Madrid still won the La Liga championship two rounds in advance with a huge lead.
Although it was his debut in La Liga, Chen Yu delivered a shocking answer, he not only helped Real Madrid win the league title, but also scored 40 goals and won the league's top scorer.
Last season, when Chen Yu was empty in Liverpool, many people thought that Chen Yu was old, and Real Madrid spent 120 million to buy Chen Yu because it was a loss-making business and a big wrong, but Chen Yu slapped these people in the face with facts, making Real Madrid fans feel that the 120 million was worth it.
On the second day of Real Madrid's championship, "As" newspaper reported on a page, and the headline on the front page was "Chen Yu equals the champion!" ”
"Marca" also said that Florentino's adventure was successful, and the 30-year-old Chen Yu still has the ability to decide the championship, even if he can't win the Champions League, the league can beat last season's treble champion Barcelona to win the championship is also a successful recruitment.
Barcelona's mouthpiece, Le Monde Sport, was not convinced by Real Madrid's victory, and the reporter said that it was an ugly victory, and that a team with the most superstars in Europe always played defensive counter-attacks, which was simply an insult to football.
The British "Times" does not agree with Real Madrid's way of poaching teams, but they believe that modern football is different from traditional football, and that Jin Yuan plays a pivotal role in competitive football, and that a team with a lot of investment may not be able to win the championship, but a team with less investment is even less likely to win the championship.
Germany's "Bild" did not analyze Real Madrid's victory from the perspective of Jin Yuan and superstars, they believe that it is not easy for Real Madrid to win the championship, the new manager, the new core players, it is not easy to grind into a fighting team, but Pellegrini did it, and the championship of Real Madrid is indispensable to Pellegrini's credit.
Europe's top five leagues are over, and the Champions League final is not far away.
As the finale of European football, this season's Champions League final has even more significance for Real Madrid.
Now Real Madrid has won 9 Champions League titles, and as long as they can win another title, Real Madrid can win their tenth title and become the first giant to win a double in the Champions League.
In addition, this season's Champions League final was played at the Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid, and winning it on its own home turf is definitely much happier than winning it at a neutral venue.
Inter Milan's manager was Jose Mourinho, who was sacked from Chelsea.
Mourinho is considered an Internet celebrity ten years later, with a strong ability to attract attention and saliva, and he will inevitably bombard his opponent every time he fights, and this time is no exception.
In an interview with the media, Mourinho scolded Real Madrid as a freak in European football, hoarding the best players in the world but not providing the best football to the world. Attacking Pellegrini as a puppet who can't decide what players to buy, and can't even arrange his troops according to his own will.
Mourinho is even more unkind to Chen Yu, over the years, Chen Yu's rise has stolen a lot of the limelight from Mourinho, without Chen Yu, Mourinho can win at least one Champions League, and now, except for the Champions League with Porto, he has never been able to touch the club's highest award. It's impossible for the magic bird to have no complaints about this.
Mourinho admits that Chen Yu is the most versatile player in world football, and in terms of strength alone, he is the top three in the world, but Mourinho believes that Chen Yu's character is problematic, "A player who has repeatedly left when the team is in trouble must have a problematic character, players like Totti, Buffon, and Piero are convincing superstars, Chen Yu is a superstar, but not an admirable superstar." ”
Mourinho's provocations are very clever and they are all about picking at other people's wounds, making it impossible not to be angry and unable to stay calm.
Real Madrid manager Manuel Pellegrini hit back at Mourinho at a press conference, saying: "When it comes to ugliness, there is no one in the world who plays more ugly than the team coached by Mourinho...... Every coach has his own coaching style, which doesn't need to be dictated, and I hope that Mourinho will do his job well and worry less about Real Madrid's heart. ”
Chen Yu and Mourinho had a lot of war of words, but he didn't care at this time, when he attended the press conference with Pellegrini, he just said lightly, "The player's stage is on the field, not off the field, it is the coach's stage, but I still hope to be able to plug Mourinho's mouth with the championship trophy." ”
