Chapter 287: Now it's our turn to defend the dignity of Spanish football

The day after the match, the whole of Spain was talking about Valencia's home win over AC Milan.

Madrid's media were disappointed in front of Valencia's results.

But they quickly found a way to divert their attention.

That's a big deal about the Real Madrid and Monaco matches.

In their opinion, Real Madrid beat Monaco 4-2 at home in the first leg, and the suspense of this game was lost.

Just because Valencia can beat AC Milan doesn't mean Monaco can do the same. Valencia have a star-studded squad, world champions like Ronaldinho and a manager who has a knack for miracles. They can do it for a reason.

What's in Monaco?

A bunch of **silk!

But when the evening's game began, the optimistic Real Madrid supporters realized that the script wasn't going as they had set it to!

While the flag of Real Madrid, captain Raul. Gonzalez opened the scoring in the 36th minute.

This seems to indicate that Real Madrid will easily run over Monaco and then advance to the semi-finals.

After qualifying for Porto, Chelsea and Valencia, Real Madrid became the only seed in the G14 club, and the only seed among Europe's traditional giants.

In fact, they are not only defending the glory of Spanish football, but also their own glory and the glory of the traditional giants.

This season's Champions League is the first Champions League.

The traditional giants either performed sluggishly, or inexplicably fell behind, in short, they all ended up out of the game because of poor performance. However, many grassroots teams have risen.

Now there is only one team left to defend the dignity of the giants.

Their performance at the beginning of this game also showed the value and ability of the giants.

As the first half looked to end, Giuli equalised for Monaco.

The aggregate score between the two sides was 5:3, and Real Madrid still had the advantage.

The Real Madrid players looked very relaxed when they finished the first half and went into the dressing room to rest.

The two-goal lead led them to think that there could be no suspense in this game.

They are not the same as yesterday's AC Milan.

Yesterday's AC Milan were beaten by Valencia, but all they need is an away goal. Helplessly, they never scored.

This game was different, Real Madrid scored as soon as they came up.

While Monaco have two away goals, Real Madrid have one.

But with half time to go, maybe Real Madrid will score three away goals?

Just when Real Madrid's players were dreaming, just three minutes into the second half, they were abandoned by Real Madrid, and Morientes, the center forward who went to Monaco on loan, scored the second goal of the game for Monaco, and this goal also made the total score of the two sides 5:4, and Monaco was only one goal away from Real Madrid!

Morientes didn't celebrate after his goal, but Florentino's expression on the rostrum was certainly not good.

Because Morientes is a player he has always disliked since he came to power, and now that he has Ronaldo, he doesn't need Morientes even more.

Morientes, who was given up by him, stabbed Monaco hard at his old club's heart!

This goal completely ignited the hope of the Monaco players, and if only one more goal was scored, the aggregate score would be 5:5! And Monaco will eliminate Real Madrid by the advantage of more away goals at that time!

The prospect drove the Monaco players crazy.

Thinking about how Valencia reversed AC Milan in yesterday's game when everyone was not optimistic about them added fuel to Monaco.

In the next game, Monaco was full of momentum, how to play.

And what about Real Madrid?

There is not enough energy to spare. I really wanted to fight Monaco, but I found that I was not fit.

In the 66th minute, Giuli gave Real Madrid a fatal blow, and his brace finally made the aggregate score 5:5!

Monaco have the advantage of scoring more away goals!

There were twenty-four minutes left, a lot of time to start, but the Real Madrid players couldn't run.

Real Madrid's physical problems, which have been repeatedly emphasized by Chang Sheng, finally broke out at this time and became the last straw that crushed Real Madrid.

Although they know that losing this game by this score will knock them out of the tournament and will most likely face a situation where the big four are empty this season.

They also have no motivation to fight Monaco at all.

Queiroz stood on the sidelines, looking very anxious.

But what's the use of being anxious at this time?

The physical breakdown was the bane planted at the beginning of the season, and it has nothing to do with the present.

In the end, Real Madrid lost 1:3 away from home, and Monaco eliminated Real Madrid with the advantage of more away goals and entered the semi-finals of the Champions League.

After Valencia knocked out AC Milan in an upset the previous day, Real Madrid suffered the same situation, with Monaco knocking them out in a comeback!

Real Madrid

The dream of a tenth Champions League trophy is shattered!

When Real Madrid were eliminated from the competition, the Madrid media was full of mourning.

And the media in Valencia gloated.

"Now it's Valencia's turn to defend the dignity of Spanish football!" "Provincial Daily" said bitterly.

Even so, the dead-ducked Florentino insisted that he trusted Queiroz.

The media across Europe are surprised by the strange phenomenon in the Champions League this season.

The traditional giants were all eliminated from the competition, without exception.

For the first time, four grassroots teams from four different countries have qualified. Perhaps the most famous of these are Valencia, who have reached the Champions League final twice, and Ranieri's Chelsea.

The European media have analyzed and analyzed, but they don't know why this phenomenon is.

In fact, Chang Sheng doesn't know why, but he knows that 2004 was a particularly evil year in European football, this year in the Champions League, staged a grassroots counterattack to win the championship, in the summer Portugal European Championship, the Greek team also repeated this scene. They beat hosts Portugal to lift the European Championship in a completely underdogly situation.

Maybe this is the year of a change of dynasty in European football?

Although there was a league game against Zaragoza at the weekend, the winning team still gave the whole team a day off after the game, and the team had such a great game at home that they should have said something about it. So he gave the team a day off and told them that they didn't have to train for the day and that they had to rest at home.

Naturally, the players welcomed this with their hands and feet raised.

After this fierce battle, they really need to rest.

Although it seemed that they won the game easily, and AC Milan were beaten without any resistance, in fact, the Valencia players were in a very high state from start to finish, so in fact, the players consumed more energy and were more tired than the usual game. It's just that at that time, because of the extreme excitement and excitement, their true experience was obscured, and after the game, many players felt tired.

If you have to train the next day, maybe there will be new players on the list of injuries who have won the game.

The team had a good day of relaxation and rest before returning to training on Thursday.

And according to the plan, the training intensity will not be too large, and the group should focus on post-game recovery training content.

It's just that on this day, the first thing Chang Sheng had to do was not to lead the team to train, but to go to Soler's trouble.

Soler arrived at the chairman's office at the training base at Patna Stadium at half-past nine.

Unlike Otti, he spends four days a week in the sports city and follows the team to watch the games. He wants to show his influence as president of the club wherever he can.

He prides himself on being the hard-working president of the club, and the former president of the club, Jaime, who spends half his time on his business, but doesn't ask the club's former president. Ottie is a different story.

As a result, Chang Sheng has the opportunity to find him before the team starts training.

When Chang Sheng came to the club's administrative building with the examination report issued by the hospital, he was targeted by a woman as soon as he entered the building.

The woman was the personal secretary of the club's president, Soler.

As if she had been instructed in advance, as soon as she saw Chang Sheng appear in the administrative building, she took the initiative to greet her.

"Mr. Chang, is there anything wrong with you?"

The beautiful secretary said to Chang Sheng very politely.

"Oh, I'm here for Mr. President." Chang Sheng's words are also polite, so people can't find fault.

The female secretary's answer also seemed very professional: "Is there an appointment?" ”

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, he thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked, "What did you say?" ”

The female secretary continued to ask professionally, "Have you and Mr. Soler made an appointment before?" ”

Chang Sheng smiled when he heard this: "Is this the new deal after Mr. Chairman came to power?" When the head coach of the team met the president of the club, he had to make an appointment? ”

The female secretary maintained a professional smile on her face, shook her head at Chang Sheng and said, "If you don't have an appointment, then I'm sorry, Mr. Chang, I can't let you see Mr. Soler...... You must know that Mr. Soler is very busy, his daily schedule is very full, and he hates to go beyond the plan...... So I'm sorry, Mr. Chang. If you would like to see Mr. Soler, please make an appointment in advance, just make an appointment with me......"

Chang Sheng listened quietly to the secretary's arrangement, and his brows gradually furrowed.

The other side is not joking, but seriously.

As the head coach of the Valencia team, when he saw the president of his club, he had to make an appointment!

And this is something he had never heard of in the previous years when Otti was in power. Not only when Otti was in power, Chang Sheng felt that in terms of his understanding of world football, there was no club in the world that had such strange rules, and the head coach of the team had to make an appointment when he saw the president of his club!

So he ignored the chattering secretary and strode towards the staircase.

It's not that he doesn't know which room the club's president's office is.

3rd floor, 4th room from left.
