Chapter 54: Teams and Individuals (One More Subscription Requests!) )

Vukojevich shook his head helplessly.

The game was played very passively, especially after Suker scored, and the overall rhythm of Lyon began to break down a bit.

Since being beaten by Suker in their last game, Lyon have also had some problems with their mentality.

Although it seems to be very stable, everyone's heart is extremely anxious.

They are desperate to score goals, desperate to win games.

However, under the excessive aggressiveness, the offense failed to play its original effect, and there were many problems with the defense.

"Congratulations!"

Seeing Suke coming over, Vukojevich smiled and stretched out his hand.

Su Ke sighed, "You guy is really not hurt!" ”

Vukojevic still fought fiercely, but there was no sign of injury at all.

However, his muscle wear and fitness can also be felt to decline, and for this reason, Suker is worried that in a few weeks or months, Vukojevic will be injured.

"Don't worry." Vukojevic laughed; "I'll take care of myself."

Suke shook his head; "Forget it, don't force it anyway!"

After that, Suker said with a smile: "In the quarterfinals of the Champions League, we scored a total of three people, me, Luka and Srna, if you didn't meet us, I guess you could also advance." ”

Croatia's generation of players is improving at a rapid pace and they are doing very well in their respective teams.

Souk at Real Madrid.

Luka Modric at Manchester United.

Srna at Inter Milan.

With the exception of Real Madrid, who are currently somewhat reaching their limits, the other two teams are in contention for the Champions League.

Listening to Suke's words, Vukojevic's face became a little strange.

"Did you forget Tommy?"

"What?"

Su Ke was stunned for a moment.

Vukojevic shrugged: "In yesterday's game, CSKA Moscow defeated Sevilla to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. ”

I saw him put up four fingers: "It's four!" In addition to the three of you, Tommy also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. “

Su Ke was directly stunned.

He really didn't think about Duimovich's problem, or rather, the subconscious just skimmed him.

Even though Duimovich has been with CSKA Moscow for two years, Suke still does not equate the two.

The quarterfinals of the Champions League are all confirmed, namely Inter Milan, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Bordeaux, CSKA Moscow, Barcelona, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich.

At 10 p.m., Suker, Ramos, Marcelo, Benzema, Di Maria and others gathered to watch the draw ceremony.

"I feel like it's hard to kick anyone!"

Marcelo couldn't help but grin.

"Bordeaux and CSKA Moscow are the best games, they have a relatively smaller attack, other teams"

Ramos' brow furrowed.

That's where Real Madrid is at the moment.

The defense line is too crotch-pulling!

Once the opposition is very good at attacking, then their backline can't stand it.

If the opposition is very good at defending, as is the case with Inter Milan, Suker may also be limited.

So, the current Real Madrid card is in a very uncomfortable position.

The top 16 is good to say, just fight and pass.

But in the quarterfinals, after experiencing two rounds of home and away knockout matches in the Champions League, the overall fighting spirit and state have been further improved.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, encountered a lot of problems during this period, such as the change of coach, tactical reorganization, and the rigidity of the main lineup.

It all seems to be telling them that they can't go far.

"What do you think?" Casillas asked.

Su Ke crossed his arms, stared at the TV, and said casually; "Let's take one step at a time, go as far as we can, anyway, our goal this season is the Copa del Rey and the league, the Champions League can fight if we can, if we are eliminated, we will come back next season!"

Real Madrid has a lot of problems at the moment.

First and foremost is the backline.

With Manuel Pellegrini's departure, Ramos' renovation plans have also been shelved.

There are also issues with offensive advancement, which may require Kaka's arrival to be resolved.

Di Maria has not been able to commit to the Champions League, and although he is still very young, he has already begun to bear fruit in the league and in the Copa del Rey.

There are a lot of things that need to be further run-in, and it can only be said that Pellegrini has delayed too much time.

Perhaps, we can only wait for next season, after the arrival of Mourinho, Real Madrid's backline can be renewed.

Real Madrid's defensive problems are indeed too tricky at the moment, and top coaches may not be able to clean up this mess.

But in the original time and space, Mourinho was the key figure in transforming Ramos, and at the same time created a first-class defense for Real Madrid that can be called top-notch.

Therefore, Suker believes that it may be necessary to wait until Mourinho arrives before Real Madrid can further show their fighting power.

And this season, Real Madrid have stumbled along the way.

There was another change of manager and the departure of Manuel Pellegrini, which made the dressing room a little more solid, but the fundamental problems based on the first team were not resolved.

The crowd looked at the TV, at the grouping.

For Real Madrid, they could have advanced if they hadn't drawn Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Barcelona.

Among them, Arsenal are also difficult to play.

So, the answer is obvious, Bordeaux and CSKA Moscow are the best choice.

"Look!"

The crowd saw Real Madrid's crest drawn from the TV.

"It's coming!"

The crowd immediately became nervous.

At the moment, the teams that have not yet been drawn are Inter Milan, Bordeaux and CSKA Moscow.

For Real Madrid, as long as it's not Inter Milan.

Soon, Real Madrid's opponents appeared.

Black and white coat of arms.

Team from Ligue 1, Bordeaux!

In the locker room, everyone was quiet for a moment, and the next second, it was suddenly boiling.

Sign up!

It's definitely a sign!

Compared with Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow, Bordeaux's overall strength is the weakest.

For Real Madrid, this opponent will allow them to better cope with the quarter-finals of the Champions League and have a better chance of going one step further in the Champions League.

In the end, a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League appeared.

Bayern Munich vs Manchester United.

Real Madrid vs Bordeaux.

Inter Milan vs CSKA Moscow.

Barcelona vs Arsenal.

"Lady Luck Favors Real Madrid, Champions League Quarterfinals Signed! 》

Real Madrid successfully avoided Inter Milan and faced Bordeaux, a team from Ligue 1! 》

"After Lyon, Bordeaux is afraid of being poisoned by Real Madrid! 》

"Suker equals Ligue 1 killer? 》

"Count the Ligue 1 teams that were eliminated by Sooker in those years. 》

Real Madrid's signing luck this time is very good, and Bordeaux is the weakest team in the Champions League.

Of course, to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Bordeaux should not be underestimated.

What's more, in the group stage, Bordeaux beat Bayern Munich and Juventus to reach the knockout stage as the group leader.

In the run-up to Christmas, Bordeaux was full of amazement.

In the six rounds of the Champions League group stage, they did not lose a game, and came up with an excellent record of 5-1-0.

However, after entering the knockout round, when facing Olympiacos in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, he stumbled, and after a 1-1 draw at home, he barely scored a goal in the 89th minute away from home and advanced to the next round.

Compared with the excellent performance in the group stage, after entering the knockout round, it is a little uncomfortable.

That's what characterizes a lot of grassroots teams.

The Champions League is prone to symptoms of soil and water adaptation.

In the group stage, I can let go and dare to fight, but after entering the knockout round, I am facing a lot of pressure, but I can't let go.

This also causes the overall strength and state to shrink.

This is also the biggest difference between the big teams and the grassroots teams when facing the Champions League.

For example, Real Madrid, even if the squad is inconsistent, there is not even a corresponding tactical system.

However, the vast majority of the players in the squad have rich experience in the Champions League, and many of them are Champions League champion-level players, who know too well how to adjust their form in the Champions League, and can even actively help the team to adjust, which is also one of the foundations of the giants.

Real Madrid are in a bit of a bad situation just after a change of manager, but Bordeaux could be even worse.

'It's a new challenge for us, every win we get is a whole new history, not to mention being able to play against a tough opponent like Real Madrid in the Champions League, we will learn a lot of experience in this game, just like we did in 07/08, and I believe we can play even more exciting games.'

The Bordeaux manager talks to the camera.

His words inevitably reveal some useful information.

First: Bordeaux will be stumbling in the Champions League, although the posture is low, but it is full of a taste of challenge,

Second: Bordeaux has adopted a learning attitude, which shows that it has absorbed a lot of tactics before, and may come up with some new routines and lineup combinations in the game.

Third: Bordeaux still have ambitions to continue to qualify, and they will not be eliminated by Real Madrid.

Bordeaux won Ligue 1 in 2008/2009 and broke Lyon's seven-year title monopoly in Ligue 1.

Especially in the 2007/2008 season, they learned enough experience from the Champions League to feed it back into the league and it was only after that they showed great performance next season.

Among them, striker Shamacher, like Bordeaux, challenged Suker.

Although he didn't directly pick out the attitude of challenge, he always compared his various data with Su Ke, and he looked proud, looking really irritated.

"Who is this guy?"

Suke didn't know Shamacher at all, and he hadn't heard of it.

Staring at his fame and influence, there are so many players who have challenged him, how can Su Ke remember every single one.

'Shamacher, last season was his best season and Bordeaux won the Ligue 1 title. Benzema briefly introduced.

Suke asked; "How many goals has he scored in a season?"

Benzema blinked: "It seems like 13 last season!" ”

Suker blinked: "Champions League? ”

"League!"

Suke rolled his eyes and turned to leave.

After joining the top five leagues, he scored more than 13 goals in a single season.

You can challenge yourself with anything, and Su Ke doesn't bother to respond to this kind of data.

"Bordeaux is a relatively balanced team in attack and defence, although it is not too prominent in attack and defense, but it is characterized by a consistency."

Real Madrid's interim coach Ledepp explains the situation of the opponent.

Su Ke looked at Ledpool's explanation, and he understood a little.

In other words, there is not enough offense, there is not enough defense, stability is stability, but once there is a problem in one aspect, stability will be destroyed.

"That's the general situation of them, and in the previous defeats, a lot of them were the first to have problems at the back and then it affected the whole picture, and it was very difficult for them to make effective changes in the face of such a sudden situation!"

Ledpool's idea is simple, that is, to rely on Suker's impact to continue to press the opponent's defense and force the opponent to make mistakes.

This is what Real Madrid do best.

"Okay, that's it for the Champions League, we're going to prepare for the next league game."

So far, the league has reached the 27th round.

Real Madrid have a record of 24-2-1 and sit second in the league standings.

Barcelona leads the standings 25-1-1.

The two teams currently have a two-point gap, but from the exchange of status, it has become Real Madrid chasing Barcelona.

Now it's Barcelona that can't afford to make any mistakes.

What's more, Barcelona will face Atletico Madrid in this round of fixtures, an opponent who gave them a draw at the start of the season.

And under the pressure of the Champions League, even Pep Guardiola feels a headache.

When chasing Real Madrid before, he was not so uncomfortable, but now the situation is reversed, but he has been set up.

On March 26, the 28th round of La Liga.

Getafe plays Real Madrid at home.

"Attack! Attack it! Don't procrastinate! ”

Ledpool shouted loudly from the sidelines.

The main thing is that Real Madrid's attack is difficult to deploy on both flanks.

Benzema and Higuain faced Getafe's fierce resistance and even brutal foul tactics, and their breakthroughs were no longer so sharp, but became procrastinating.

This also makes it difficult for Real Madrid to attack.

Suke waited for the ball in the middle, but he couldn't wait left and right!

Su Ke slowly stopped, his heart full of helplessness.

Both Benzema and Higuain have concerns.

Their concerns are simple, and that is the upcoming World Cup.

They have to be in good shape and fit for the World Cup, so they don't want to get injured at this juncture and even get a break to get tough.

Getafe, for their part, also took advantage of the situation of the Real Madrid players and increased the intensity of fouls for this purpose.

A stance that is going to knock you down.

Although football is a team sport, everyone is an individual and they all have their own ideas and interests.

For Benzema and Higuain, not being injured at this stage and preparing for the World Cup is the most important thing.

With the Champions League looming, it was natural for them to make that choice.

After all, the World Cup is held every four years!

It is a question of whether you can participate once less and whether you will have a chance a second time.

In this case, Real Madrid's attack will not be able to play.

In 45 minutes, Real Madrid ended 0:0 Getafe and went into halftime.

"What are you doing? The offense is too slow, don't always pass the ball sideways, pass forward! ”

Casillas roared in the locker room, and he couldn't do it with anger.

"I know what you're thinking, and I know what the World Cup means to you, but if you give up on the present, can you really succeed in the World Cup?"

"You have a problem with your professional attitude now, I don't want my club teammates to be such selfish people who give up the interests of the team for their own interests!"

Casillas's words are very heavy.

He didn't name names, but it also made Benzema and Higuain a little uncomfortable.

The whole locker room was very dull.

Su Ke suddenly said in a loud voice: "I agree with the captain, we can't give up the present because of the World Cup, not to mention that we are only two points away from the championship!" If I am asked to give up here, I am unwilling, if the offense is not able to play, then I can only replace! ”

With that, Suke looked at Ledpool, who nodded cooperatively.

At this time, Benzema and Higuain were a little panicked.

In particular, Ledup asked Raul and Di Maria to run out to warm up, looking like they were about to be replaced.

They don't want to miss out on the World Cup, but they also don't want to lose their place in the main role of Real Madrid.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Su Ke understood that this knock plan was a success.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides.

'There were some changes to Real Madrid's attack, their attack started to pick up, and even though we don't know what happened at half-time and what changes Ledeck made, the effect was still very noticeable!

On 77 minutes, Benzema suddenly pulled the ball in a V-shape, shook off the defense, and began to move towards the rib area.

At the same time, Marcelo began to set edges.

Benzema distributed the ball to Marcelo, who kicked straight down the middle.

Sooke leaped high into the crowd.

"Suke! Header on goal! ”

Suke stretched his body as far as he could in the air, arms raised, to protect himself while controlling his balance.

In the process of moving sideways in the air, Suke strained his abdomen and shook his head against the ball.

The ball flew towards the far point on the right.

With a bang, it should be called into the net!

In the 77th minute, Real Madrid scored with an attack launched by Benzema, and Marcelo stepped forward to assist Suker.

"Goal!!!! Sucre!!! ”

"A brilliant header, after more than 70 minutes of stalemate, it was Suker who scored the goal that broke the deadlock."

"It's very difficult for the Getafe backline to limit Suker like this, even if they send a certain amount of defensive force to constantly interfere with Suker, but they can't completely deprive Suker of his performance."

"Real Madrid scored the leading goal on the road!"

"Real Madrid's title challenge is moving forward!"
