966 Think about the next five years

"The 2008-2009 Champions League 1/8 finals two legs are over, the defending champion Real Madrid drew 2:2 with Liverpool in the first leg at the Bernabeu, and the second leg in today's Anfield battle, Liverpool defeated Real Madrid 4:3 at home, and advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 6:5!

Defending champion Real Madrid is out of the tournament!

In the two-legged game, Liverpool can not be said to have an absolute advantage, but they have a certain upper hand in the technical and tactical encounter, Real Madrid has been in a passive state, although Real Madrid is very hard, but can not recover the end of the defeat.

In today's game, Gerrard, Torres, and Qin Xiong were the protagonists on the field, Liverpool's twin stars each scored twice, and Qin Xiong scored a hat-trick, and they scored 7 goals in the whole game, leaving many wonderful moments for the fans, if Real Madrid's exit was a surprise, after all, they have been very strong in the past two months.

Qin Xiong is one of the players in the Real Madrid squad who can leave Anfield with his head held high, he scored four goals in the two legs, and he did his best to do it to the limit, in the two legs, other Real Madrid players, including Casillas, who has been solid in front of the goal line, made unforgivable mistakes, and other players made mistakes to a greater or lesser extent.

After Real Madrid's Champions League exit, the only honour left to fight for this season is the La Liga title, but they are still four points behind Barcelona, and it is unknown whether Real Madrid, who swept all the honours last season, will still be able to lift the trophy this season.

Let's wait and see.

Audience friends, goodbye! ”

Qin Xiong stood on the court, his tired body making him not want to move at all.

He looked around at Anfield. In the stands. Reds fans are celebrating Liverpool's run to the quarter-finals. Visitors Real Madrid fans exited the stadium disappointed.

Qin Xiong was in a trance, his eyes were in a trance.

Another failed title defense!

In the summer of 2004, he joined Highbury with a Champions League title and final MVP aura, but was knocked out by Chelsea in 2005 and failed to complete his goal of defending the Champions League.

At that time, he did not regret it, because at Ajax and at Arsenal, it was a very different competitive environment.

The brutality of competition in the Premier League is something that outsiders can't appreciate.

After winning the Champions League for the second time in France in the summer of 2006, Qin Xiong went to the Bernabeu to become a member of the White Army.

At the San Siro in 2007, he tried his best but couldn't turn the tide around. Not only did he miss his goal of successfully defending the Champions League again, but he also lost the Ballon d'Or that season.

In the summer of 2008, he led Real Madrid to defeat Manchester United in Moscow for the third time in Europe, helping Real Madrid win the 10th Champions League title.

Perhaps the most promising of the three title defence chances, they fell to Liverpool's doorstep in the quarter-finals.

Qin Xiong was naturally extremely disappointed.

The last time he lost at the San Siro, he couldn't be convinced, after all, Real Madrid was moving from the era of Galacticos to Calderón, and the team began to rebuild and enter an upward period. Far from being at its peak, plus the team's internal conflict between Capello and the generals of the big stars. If the team loses, it loses in a purely competitive sense!

But today, Qin Xiong still has a clear conscience, but he feels a little unacceptable.

Athletically, Real Madrid has no problems on its own, everyone has tried to do their best, is it not united? No, of course it's solidarity.

However, many of the problems presented by the team under the guns of the media and public opinion are caused by the management negligence!

Other top giants in Europe will not turn a blind eye to Real Madrid's own problems, but the wrong leadership policy and construction direction have led to the team's original problems have not been solved, but new problems have erupted.

Qin Xiong lowered his head, and the turmoil at the top of Real Madrid made him at a loss.

Whatever happens to Real Madrid in the summer, perhaps the next leader will be able to set things right and lead the team to glory.

But who dares to say that this non-stop management can stick to the right path and keep going?

Will it destroy the Great Wall again?

Qin Xiong has a lot of experience in the green game, and he has participated in various high-level competitions in the southern and northern wars, and he has been tempered into steel.

But in the end, he has only played for three clubs, and when he was at Ajax, he saw the club's transformation from ideal to utilitarian, in Arsenal he saw the club's compromise that could only sacrifice immediate interests for the sake of long-term interests, and in Real Madrid, he saw the ruthlessness and exaggeration of the club's cruelty and ruthlessness

He just wants to play football and always stand on the top of the hill and enjoy the most beautiful scenery.

But when he tries hard and fails due to avoidable external factors, he becomes unhappy and thinks deeply.

Think in terms of the age of a professional athlete.

Qin Xiong knew that the next 5 years or so would be the golden age of a player.

He hopes to get more accolades at this age and become a true great player of all time.

Then what he needs is the ideal competitive environment!

Thoughtful, Qin Xiong left the Anfield stadium, ignoring the reporters' interviews, which seemed calm and excessive compared to the last time he was out of the Champions League when he took all his anger at Fabio Capello.

Reporters understood this phenomenon as Qin Xiong's reluctance to criticize Bosque, let alone complain about his teammates.

He's just more mature, a professional athlete who is about to turn 24, and naturally has a very different mentality from when he was 22.

Complaining and blaming, venting anger, in his opinion, is just a simple venting, without any meaning.

That would only create more chaos.

Real Madrid's season is not over yet, and there is still a league to work on.

His teammates expressed their frustration after the game, saying that Real Madrid's performance was worthy of the expectations and support of the fans.

Bosque took the initiative to take the blame on himself after the game.

"I was eliminated in the quarter-finals because of me, Liverpool played well, they played to their full strength, Real Madrid didn't do their best to prepare for these two games, the responsibility is on me!"

Bosque generously congratulated Liverpool on their progress to the quarter-finals, but also frankly pointed out that Real Madrid's lack of vigilance before the first leg was his mistake.

The defending champion's exit was a very passive foundation from the start of the first round.

Rafa Benitez smiled a rare smile after the game, smiling that Liverpool deserved to win and qualify, and that the win over Real Madrid gave them a huge amount of confidence that the team could go further. (To be continued.) )
