Chapter 127: Zebra Advances

Perhaps having made it to the Champions League final, the Spurs coaching staff can relax as spectators and focus on the Real Madrid vs Juventus match.

Although Real Madrid was nicknamed the "Champions League Sixteen" by fans for a while in the past, this also shows that they played "consistently" in the Champions League.

The La Liga giants managed to win the 10th Champions League trophy in their history last season and are aiming to defend their title this season by reaching the semi-finals again.

Juventus, on the other hand, is affected by the decline of Serie A, although the Bianconeri still maintain an absolute lead in the country.

But it's not easy to make a breakthrough in Europe.

Not to mention, last season was in the same group as Real Madrid, Copenhagen and Galatasaray, and the Serie A champions failed to qualify from the group.

Therefore, before the game, even if Juventus beat Real Madrid 2-1 in the first leg, most people are still optimistic that the Blancos can eliminate the opponent at home and advance to the final.

Once the game started, the direction of the game did not go beyond Benjamin's expectations.

Real Madrid, playing at home, threatened from the first minute.

Marcelo's cross from the left flank to the back of the box was met by Bale's header just over the crossbar.

Tevez crosses and Vidal shoots a low left-footed shot from the edge of the box, which Real Madrid captain Casillas saves sideways.

The captains of both teams are goalkeepers, which is interesting.

Casillas also made his 150th Champions League appearance today, which also allowed the Real Madrid captain to equal Xavi's record just set.

Real Madrid crossed from the right, Benzema leaned on the opposing defender near the small penalty area, stopped the ball and adjusted his left-footed volley high.

'Real Madrid attacked more from the flanks today, and their players on both flanks were really attacking very well.

"Bale doesn't feel like he's in great shape, and he ran out of position a couple of times and no one passed the ball to him."

"Luka Modric is not there, these midfielders are almost meaningless."

"Huh? Isn't Real Madrid going to suffer? ”

As Tottenham coaches, they actually watch the game with some personal subjectivity.

These guys couldn't be quiet watching the game, so they chatted like this.

Benjamin didn't say anything, watching the game carefully while listening to what they were chatting about.

Bale cut across to the penalty area and fired a cold arrow into the top right corner of the goal, where Juve captain Gianluigi Buffon focused and flew to save the ball.

Such a wonderful battle can only be seen in the Champions League, Benjamin is amazed.

This is also the meaning of the existence of the Champions League!

After the Slovenian lawyer came to power, the Champions League was expanded, there were more games, and UEFA's oil and water definitely increased greatly.

But the fans will not see more exciting matchups, but may be boring because there are more teams that have never heard of it.

In order to get more exposure, the hegemons of some small European countries and small leagues will only suck the blood of other teams in their own countries more unscrupulously in order to get more exposure on the Champions League stage.

At the same time, the multi-front combat competition of the giant team is more intensive, and the results will inevitably be adversely affected.

Originally, UEFA was making money by using the giants and big teams that are more well-known in the world, and as a result, they were suppressing them while sucking the blood of the giants.

In the name of promoting the better development of football, Benjamin really wants to ask, you UEFA profits tens of billions of dollars from the Champions League every year, where is all this money spent in the end?

The prize money for the championship may not be as much as that of a few senior UEFA officials.

It's really so noble, you UEFA president don't want to get a salary of hundreds of thousands of euros a year, this money is enough to help many young players from poor families grow up, right?

Why don't you lead by example, and when you lick your face and force the wealthy to bleed, you can stand on the moral high ground again?

There is still a bunch of ignorant people who believe that UEFA is a good thing.

It's really more useful than anything else.

Well, under Cheferin, if nothing else, football in Europe will only get worse and worse.

Until then, be sure to do something.

Benjamin knows exactly where his ass is sitting and what UEFA is.

So when he needs to make a move, he will definitely stand up.

Benjamin doesn't want to see the Champions League, which has been recognized by everyone for decades, ruined at the hands of the Slovenian.

Calculate the time, there are still a few years, don't be too anxious for the time being, let's watch the game with peace of mind first.

Bale got into the game, scoring his trademark dribbling and long-range shots of great quality.

The difference between Townsend and Bale is that his shooting skills are more than a notch worse when his speed and dribbling ability are not as good as Bale.

It's just a pity that Bale is facing the experienced Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

Even though Bale's shot was of high quality and the ball went straight to the corner, Buffon made the right decision, moved his feet early and saved the ball bravely.

"Actually, Bale is still not suitable to play for Real Madrid.

His style of play is actually more suitable for playing the core of a team in the upper reaches of the top five leagues, and using him as the core to formulate the team's tactics.

That way Bale can get more support and he can play more comfortably and play better stats. ”

Benjamin made this judgment on the Welsh in his heart.

In comparison, the low-profile version of Bale, Townsend is more suitable to go to a middle and lower team to arrange tactics according to the core style of play, and staying at Tottenham is definitely not good for both sides.

said so, but Bale went to Real Madrid, went to a higher platform, got a higher profile, and his income increased significantly, not to mention winning the championship.

Which of the different choices is better or worse can only be a matter of opinion.

People have their own aspirations, and more people will probably still feel that being famous and beneficial is the most correct choice.

Speed up on the side! Bale ate Juventus' full-back Patrice Evra alive, again on the right flank, where he is not the best at it.

"This technique, this ball feeling is really good! The basics are so solid! ”

If a layman sees such an outstanding, he will only marvel at Bell's speed, Benjamin is a professional, and of course he will not be so ignorant.

In addition to his most eye-catching speed, Bale is also world-class in terms of technique, dribbling, shooting, heading and crossing.

It's just that the performance of overtaking and passing to yourself three seconds later is too eye-catching, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it can only be seen that the speed is fast, and the rest is covered up by this one.

If speed alone is enough, then Walcott is better than Bell, is that true?

The players don't have to practice anymore, and they can just practice sprinting and playing football in the future, and they know that it is impossible to think about it.

The ability to calmly control the ball in the process of high-speed breakthroughs, and the ability to hit high-quality shots at any time while on the move, is Bale's true weapon.

It's a pity that Bell doesn't appear in the camera very often, and Benjamin doesn't have a chance to see more.

In the 22nd minute, James Rodriguez, also known as J Ronaldo, was knocked down by Chiellini in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty!

Ronaldo's penalty deceived Buffon to hit the middle of the road, 1-0!

Real Madrid levelled the aggregate score at 2-2 and held an away goal advantage.

"I'll just say that today Real Madrid is going to advance, and tomorrow we will start sorting out their information."

"What's the hurry? The first half is not over yet, I think Juventus still have a chance! ”

Juve were further disadvantaged after conceding the goal and were unable to organise an effective attack.

In the 44th minute, Ronaldo made physical contact with Vidal on the left side of the penalty area and fell to the ground again, this time the Colombian was convicted of a fake fall and received a yellow card.

At the end of the first half, Real Madrid temporarily led 1-0.

Real Madrid had 13 shots on goal in the first half, setting a record for the number of shots on goal in a competitive match for Juventus this season.

"In this way, it's a little bad, Real Madrid has an absolute advantage."

"yes, let's see if Juve can make any adjustments in the second half, otherwise I don't think they will be able to play."

At halftime, everyone went to get something to eat and drink.

Benjamin also asked for a cup of milk tea, and he knew that it was not healthy to have a big night and milk tea without anyone else.

But working overtime is already very hard, and you can't eat or drink, so why bother yourself.

He remembers a lot of things, but he can't really remember whether Juventus made it to the final or Real Madrid to make it to the final in this year's Champions League.

And he doesn't know how big the butterfly effect he is causing now, originally this year's Champions League semi-finals, in addition to Tottenham, whether there is Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus Jenmon can't remember clearly.

Oh, Barcelona should have, if it weren't for his "accident", the red and blue team should have won the treble this season, including the Champions League.

At the start of the second half, there were no substitutions for either team.

But it was clear that Juve had regained the initiative a little bit.

In the 57th minute, Ramos brought down Vidal for a foul on the wing, giving the visitors a chance to take a free-kick.

Italy's midfield maestro Andrea Pirlo lobbed a free-kick into the box, only to be punched out by Casillas.

But the ball didn't fly far, Juve full-back Patrice Evra volleyed to the left side of the box, Pogba headed back to the spot, Morata stopped the ball on his chest in front of the goal and fired a left-footed half-volley from under Varane's crotch into the net!

The Bianconeri equalised!

As in the first leg, Alvaro Morata, who scored the goal, did not celebrate.

Well, the Spanish striker is from the Real Madrid academy, and he stabbed his beloved Real Madrid twice in the two legs.

"Ah......h

The Tottenham first-team coach who was still loud before and said that Real Madrid was determined to advance was speechless.

Real Madrid gave Benjamin a feeling of panic in the following game.

In the 80th minute, Barzagli replaced Andrea Pirlo, Juventus switched to a three-centre-back, and Pirlo won a standing ovation from Real Madrid fans when he came off the pitch.

In the end, Juventus relied on Alvaro Morata's goal to draw 1-1 with Real Madrid away, eliminated Real Madrid with an aggregate score of 3-2, and advanced to the Champions League final again after 12 years.
