Chapter 164 Barcelona, which is the main force, still fell in the second half of the season [Ask the big guys to subscribe!] 】

"When Jose Mourinho's side have won the Champions League away to three goal difference, what is the probability of a comeback for the home side in the second leg?"

An Arsenal fan tweeted this question on social media at the 80th minute of the game.

As you can imagine, he received a variety of responses, but the main idea was surprisingly consistent.

"Still thinking about turning the tables? Arsenal are finished! ”

Tens of thousands of Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium have lost confidence at the moment.

Even if Wenger sent Wilshere and Oxlade-Chamberlain at the last moment to make a desperate fight, these fans are very pessimistic.

Perhaps, after watching Real Madrid's home game against Sevilla before this game, they were mentally prepared for the worst.

It's too hard.

There is nothing they can do to take this slightly conservative Real Madrid side at home, and they really don't know how Arsenal will meet the stormy attack of Real Madrid when they go to the Bernabeu.

When they hosted Barcelona the year before, they both won 2-1.

They would have Cesc Fabregas, Nasri and Alexanderson in the squad.

At that time, Arsenal could be said to be not very strong in the forward line, and there were holes in the backline.

But with a well-balanced and powerful midfield combination, they are not afraid to fight with Barcelona in the middle line to control the attack and defense.

Comparing the midfield configuration of the year before and this year, Arsenal fans are also very embarrassed.

In the past, I always felt that the team lineup was not good enough, and it needed to be strengthened.

But after a few years of bad weathering, I found that Arsenal at that time had one of the top midfield combinations in football.

Now that the midfield can't be tough, even if they hate those "traitors", Arsenal fans have to admit it.

In those years, although the team was still searching in the transfer market, they did not envy the midfielders of any football giant!

Pity.

With that kind of midfield combination, Arsenal may not have it again.

There won't be any more.

The referee on duty did not give even one second of stoppage time.

The moment he pinched his watch and watched the second hand jump into place, he blew the whistle in his mouth.

The 3-0 number on the live electronic scoreboard is very eye-catching.

And the Real Madrid players who stuck to the game also smiled and high-fived each other in the Emirates Stadium!

As soon as he got off the field, Mourinho also lost his sharp needles and took the initiative to move towards Wenger.

The two of them did look like old friends, patting each other's chests and arms on the sidelines to catch up.

"It's time to find a back that can support the team, is it possible that you still want to train another one yourself? Arsèna, these days, those youth training bases will not easily let go of good back seedlings. ”

"I know, that's why I asked you for Leon in 11 years, or do you want to sell him to me now?"

"Hey, Leon I'm using it, why do you have to buy this kid, you change it, I'll see if there's a suitable one in my team."

"You. The game was exciting, see you in the second leg. ”

"Okay, the second leg is over, let's have a drink in Madrid."

The two finally smiled goodbye and walked to their disciples.

Not long after the Champions League match, the first leg between Manchester United and Shakhtar Donetsk was decided.

United lost in an upset, but the fans were happy with the result.

1-2, Manchester United picked up a valuable away goal in the snow at the Metalist Stadium.

Back at Old Trafford for the second leg, all United fans will be confident they will see the home side win.

At this point, half of the first round of this season's Champions League quarter-finals has been played.

Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, and Real Madrid won one after another, and Manchester United lost to Shakhtar Donetsk in a small upset.

But looking at the overall form of the game, the four strong teams still occupy more or less the initiative and advantage.

This is what UEFA wants to see the most.

Among the teams involved in the Champions League, UEFA's hierarchy is hoping to see more new faces.

It's best to have one or two dark horses every season reach the group stage of the Champions League, or even the quarter-finals.

But in the quarter-finals, UEFA's hierarchy wanted to keep the big clubs.

This kind of thinking is really justified and established, and you want the revenue of the event and the prestige of the event.

But I have to say that their operation has made today's Champions League competition get a benign operation and further expansion.

is in the area of fan word-of-mouth, they are destined to lie down and be scolded.

The remaining eight teams will be unveiled in a week's time, and the Champions League is also over for the time being.

In the previous four games, in addition to many wonderful scenes for fans to talk about.

There is another interesting fact that has made many fans interested.

That is, after Juventus' 3-0 victory over Celtic, the young star Pogba, who came off the bench in the second half, made a whole living.

The reporter asked him how he felt about the game and his imagination for the future development, and this guy directly said that his idol was Li Ang.

He also said that he wanted to win the club's Grand Slam before the age of 22 like Leon.

Pirlo listened to the music and spoke directly to the camera: "Okay, I'll introduce this kid to the little lion cub." ”

Generally speaking, this kind of polite talk is said by the stars, and the fans listen to it.

But the fans who can't stand the fun are more serious, and these days they have been running Li Ang's social media messages to ask.

It wasn't until Leon posted a screenshot of his communication with Pirlo and Pogba on the chat software that the group of funneers ended their harassment of Leon with satisfaction.

Leon also felt very novel.

Originally, he also thought that Pogba just mentioned it casually, but when Master Pi said hello, he didn't think much about it, thinking that Pogba just wanted to make a friend.

As a result, I didn't expect that this kid really greeted enthusiastically as soon as he came up:

"Leon Leon! I'm a fan of yours! ”

Good guy, the sentence "I'm your fan" instantly made a bad feeling rise in Li Ang's heart.

Fortunately, after communicating with Pogba for a while, he figured out the other party's brain circuit.

Pogba turned out to be envious of him for winning so many championship honors at a young age, and he could also earn Mane.

That makes sense.

Just envy his title and not like his skills, that's not a fan.

Well, you can only be considered a champion fan!

With such a relationship, Li Ang and Pogba, who is still immature, also chatted eagerly.

Although Li Ang is very ashamed of Pogba, who later backstabbed Mu Shuai in his memory and whose professionalism is also debatable.

But he is only facing a dream chaser who is not yet twenty years old.

It would also be unfair to put the "maybe" events that will happen later on the current Pogba.

Leon only talked about the excitement of last year's championship in the occasional connection, and Pogba began to exclaim again and again.

The tone was full of envy and longing.

After all, the current Pogba is still slowly training at Juventus, and he hasn't even played the main force yet, so it can only be regarded as an important rotation.

He hasn't even tasted the Serie A title yet, and the Champions League title and the title of six-time champion are even further away from him.

Leon routinely gave him a few words of encouragement, saying that he would pay attention to his performance in Serie A.

As a result, he didn't expect this sentence to make Pogba come to his senses, and officially invited Li Ang to go to Turin to watch Juventus' games in the future.

At this time, Leon was also speechless, and could only say that he would go to Turin to see him and Pirlo when he had the opportunity in the future.

After the two-day exchange, Li Ang only felt that he had not gained any fans, which was not appropriate to recognize a little brother!

encouraged him and promised to go to the scene to watch him play later, Li Ang felt that this feeling of paying attention to the growth of others was somewhat strange.

But fortunately, there is no time to die, and Li Ang does not have to worry about the possibility of no-shows if he can't spare time for the time being.

Real Madrid's next league opponent is another tough one, Rayo Vallecano, who caused them a lot of problems in the first half of the game.

This team is really tough, and it has persevered from the beginning to the second half of the league now.

The results were not pulled apart, but stubbornly nailed to the top six in La Liga!

Their record is also interesting, with twelve wins, one draw and ten defeats.

The goals scored are not many, and the goals conceded are not too many, which highlights the tenacious struggle of a game.

When there is hope of winning, they will never give up, and they rarely consider the possibility of stopping and saving the draw anyway.

is such a kraft candy middle and upper reaches team, and whoever meets the two teams of Huangsa feels a headache.

Many Barcelona fans have a lot of hope because of this, and they have cheered for Rayo Vallecano, wishing them to get points on Real Madrid.

As for Valencia, which Barcelona will face in fifth place in La Liga in this round of the league, Barcelona fans feel okay.

Previously, Barcelona's results began to fluctuate and fluctuate, because there were too many games and the main players did not have enough rest.

Is the situation different now, since the end of the last round of the league, Barcelona has been resting for a week, and during this period they have not played Champions League games or the Copa del Rey.

There's no reason you can't take Valencia!

With absolute confidence, countless Barcelona fans turned on the TV on the night of February 16 or the early morning of February 17.

Real Madrid's match will kick off on the evening of February 17 local time.

Therefore, many Barcelona fans are ready, and after watching Barcelona's victory comfortably tonight, they will see the possible overturn of Real Madrid tomorrow night.

It doesn't matter whether the probability is big or small, there are always some probabilities.

At that time, witnessing Barcelona successfully overtaking Real Madrid in the standings, how comfortable it is~

But when the focus of this round of La Liga ended in a 90-minute fierce battle, many Barcelona fans became popular directly!

1-1!

Valencia was in chaos at home against Barcelona's attack, and Messi played desperately this time, but only helped Barcelona equalize in the second half!

There was no stunner, and Valencia used Real Madrid's style of playing in the middle to reject Barcelona's last-minute siege.

As soon as the game was over, the Barcelona players looked quite tired on the pitch.

Maybe their physical condition is fine, but the mental exhaustion is obvious.

Vilanova's brows were also full of sorrow.

He knew that some time ago, the shortcomings of the main lineup were revealed.

But what can he do, Guardiola can't solve this problem of too weak rotation lineup.

At that time, Guardiola could only continue to fight chicken blood, encouraging his core descendants to lead his teammates to fight Real Madrid to the end.

But this set doesn't work well now.

Pep Guardiola's disciples certainly respect Vilanova, but they obviously can't do everything for Vilanova as much as they did for Guardiola.

People, after all, have their own feelings.

Not to mention, there are still some players in the Barcelona dressing room who have begun to put up the shelves of heroes

The top management wants results, but rotation can't stabilize results, and Villanova will not be able to take strong measures to clean the locker room.

Because Barcelona's first Champions League knockout game is about to start, if he dares to take strong measures, then Barcelona is likely to not even be able to pass the first round of the knockout round.

Pep Guardiola may have anticipated today's situation for a long time, so he chose to retreat before Christmas last year.

Barcelona is once again on the cusp of public opinion.

The angry questions of their own fans and the sharp comments of the media are like sharp swords, invisibly stabbing at the silent Barcelona players.

Real Madrid, who benefited from Barcelona's unexpected draw, continued to keep a low profile and remain silent.

The internal Real Madrid players are naturally quite happy, but they did not choose to fall into the ground of public opinion, just like before.

Jose Mourinho and the members of the coaching staff also celebrated behind closed doors.

At present, Real Madrid has two rounds less, only one point behind Barcelona and ranks second in La Liga.

Barcelona, who looked strong in the first half, finally started to drop the chain in the second half.

And Real Madrid, which has always taken a scientific rotation before, will naturally not let the opportunity to slip away like this.

On the evening of February 17, Real Madrid ushered in the 24th round of La Liga with Rayo Vallecano at home under the attention of almost all Western media.

This match between Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano is also the final match of this round of La Liga, and only this La Liga match will be broadcast live at the same time.

So whether it's in Spain or overseas, the ratings for this game are quite high.

The Rayo Vallecano players are still very energetic, and they have set up enough posture to fight Real Madrid in midfield at the beginning.

But today Mourinho rarely discharged a midfield four and Rayo Vallecano to scramble for consumption.

Alonso dragged behind, with Essien and Matuidi flanking the midfield, with Leon playing in central midfield.

In terms of Real Madrid's midfield configuration today, Rayo Vallecano wants to play confrontation, but it can only be said that he has completely found the wrong opponent.

In the first half, Real Madrid scored two goals against Rayo Vallecano, and Higuain, who started today, was in excellent form, scoring two goals directly, and the feeling of shooting was hot!

Cristiano Ronaldo made a penalty in the 63rd minute of the second half, but he did not choose to take it himself, but conceded it to Higuain.

Seeing this, the little smoking gun was not pretentious, and he was grateful and steadily scored this penalty and scored his first hat trick of the season!

After winning Rayo Vallecano 3-0, Real Madrid's league points surpassed Barcelona by two points, and once again topped the La Liga table with one less round!

This result has made many Barcelona fans unbalanced.

Real Madrid's record is still terrible, and now Real Madrid only needs to play on two fronts, and there is a stable and reliable rotation to reduce the burden on the main players.

Does Barcelona really have a chance to compete with Real Madrid for the La Liga title this season?

The next day's major media reports were quite straightforward and explicit.

"Marca" once again took advantage of the heat to release a report on the praise of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid, striding on the road to defending the title! 》
