Updated: 2013-10-10
Before the second round with Inter Milan, Real Madrid's first opponent was Mallorca. Real Madrid won the game very easily. After Zhao Yaning scored a free kick, he scored a long shot in the second half. Higuain also scored an icing on the cake, and at the end of the game, he won 3-1.
At this point in the game, Barcelona had already withdrawn from the championship. The difference between them and Real Madrid now makes them unable to catch up and overtake Real Madrid. Although La Liga sometimes does some balancing work, so that the game will not lose suspense prematurely. However, if the opponent loses confidence seven rounds in advance, then even the league will not dare to make too blatant arrangements.
If it weren't for Villarreal still hanging behind him, Real Madrid could have declared a seven-round victory in advance. Such a huge advantage has made Barcelona already noisy, and among all the voices, Rijkaard will dismiss get out of class at the end of the season, which has become a consensus.
In the midst of the noise, who will take over as the next head coach has become their biggest problem. However, in Barcelona now, Laporta is more and more obedient to Cruyff's words, and everyone agrees that he should still be a Dutch coach.
At this time, Real Madrid didn't have so much mood to care about it. What they need more attention now is how to better win the championship as soon as possible.
And when it came to the away game against Inter Milan, Real Madrid did not use too much effort-Mancini and Ibrahimovic started quarreling after the first game, Mancini said the wrong thing, it was all wrong. I was forced to resign. Under such circumstances, expecting Inter Milan to stage a jedi comeback is nothing short of a dream.
In the away game, Real Madrid has already focused on the issue of winning the championship early. The three-goal advantage is in hand, and the opponents have vented their energy. Although Real Madrid did not play hard in this game, Zhao Yaning was not sent to the court, relying on the backcourt. The defensive and substitute players' efforts, the main thing in this game, but still a draw.
In the game, Mata's long shot scored a goal for Real Madrid, and Inter Milan, relying on the opportunity of a corner kick, Chivuo scored a header, making the game ended 1-1.
Real Madrid scored 5-2 and entered the semi-finals of the Champions League.
This is the first time Real Madrid has entered the semi-finals since the 02-03 season. In addition, the results of the league are also guaranteed, and it is naturally a crazy celebration for the Madrid media.
"The Real Madrid under Chairman Calderon has reproduced the glory of the original Sanz era. Such Real Madrid is the greatest Real Madrid!"
The statement of praising Calderon flooded all the media for a time. Although the Champions League semi-finals are not a definitive honor, Calderon is now eager to do something, and this will be touted for a while.
At the same time, the other three games have also ended.
After Manchester United returned to the home court, they carried out a big rotation-anyway, it was 6-0. Only those who are full will continue to play the main team. They put all their energy into the league. Although they lost 0-1 at their home court, they still advanced with a total score of 6-2.
In the game between Arsenal and Lyon, Lyon eliminated Arsenal from the Champions League semi-finals. Arsenal had been leading the standings this season, but after Eduardo's sudden broken leg in February, Arsenal's morale plummeted-not because of how important Eduardo is, but because of the fact that the team captain added to the game against Birmingham. Ra sat down and cried after the game, which seriously affected morale. After Wenger stripped the armband, he gave it to Fabregas-but in fact, Fabregas cried when his teammate was injured... The two captains of any team are in the public. It is impossible to count on this team to produce results if it proves that he is a softie in front of him.
Lyon seized the opportunity and took advantage of the poor morale of his opponents and played an excellent game. Mourinho was obviously better than Wenger in defeating the enemy. Relying on his understanding of Wenger, he easily defeated Wenger.
The result of the matchup between Liverpool and Chelsea, the old enemy, was embarrassing: After the away 1-1 draw, they returned to the home court and Liverpool scored the first goal. In a very good situation, in the 80th minute, Riise An own goal dragged the game into overtime.
In overtime, Drogba and Lampard scored goals, making Liverpool hate and Chelsea advanced to the semi-finals.
After losing Zhao Yaning, Liverpool is still a strong team, but after all, it is no longer the sweeping team.
After the appearance of the semi-finals, the media's publicity has also changed. On the one hand, the game between Lyon and Chelsea was naturally promoted as a revenge battle for Mourinho to return to Stamford Bridge. On the other hand, the encounter between Zhao Yaning and Xiao Luo was also publicized as a decisive battle between Xiao Luo and Zhao Yaning.
Zhao Yaning doesn't care about it anymore: Kaka last year, Ronaldinho this year, maybe Messi next year-the media has to find an opponent for himself anyway.
And in the midst of the hype, Real Madrid won Murcia 2-0 in the next league game-there was nothing too difficult in this game, Higuain entered the team After that, Ramos also scored a goal, making the team a 2-0 victory.
By this time, Real Madrid had already reached 85 points-the second-placed Villarreal had just reached 68 points at this time, which was 17 points behind Real Madrid. There are still six rounds of the game left, that is, unless Villarreal wins the rest of the game and Real Madrid loses the rest of the game, Villarreal may reverse Real Madrid and win.
But everyone knows that it is almost impossible to happen. By now, Real Madrid is one step away from the championship.
"Maybe there is a problem with our schedule. At this stage, Real Madrid's schedule is too easy, leaving Villarreal with no hope."
The media also criticized the schedule. However, La Liga also has its own difficulties: who can imagine that Real Madrid's advantage this season will reach such a point? In the last five rounds, Real Madrid’s game arrangements were Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, and Osasuna-these teams are all capable of posing a threat to Real Madrid. They were originally prepared to meet at the end of the season. To Real Madrid, it is difficult for Real Madrid to win, but who knows, Real Madrid's premature victory has made them all tasteless in these games.
Real Madrid has played too consistently this season, and it has exceeded the expectations of too many people.
And then, in the following game, Real Madrid finally finalized the final championship of the game. In this game against Racing Santander, Real Madrid won with a score of 2-1. At the same time, Villarreal lost the game, and while the points of both sides were further expanded, Real Madrid's championship was also won.
Twenty-eight wins, four draws and one loss-Real Madrid won this season's championship with 88 points at the end of the thirty-third round of the game.
"Real Madrid won the league championship unsurprisingly." The media did not say much about this. After all, at the halfway point of the season, Real Madrid had already booked the championship in advance, after half a season of flattery. No matter which media it is, there is no interest in praising it anymore. Real Madrid’s style of playing this season is completely different from that of other teams. Relying on Zhao Yaning’s extremely stable performance, he abused all the opponents that could be defeated in the league all the way to make the team win the championship early. However, it was a bright spot and caused a storm of tactical innovation. However, when it comes to thrills, it is still a little bit worse than last season.
However, the media likes to watch thrills, but the team certainly doesn't like it. Especially when Real Madrid still has the UEFA Champions League mission, they will not be able to find things on their own, looking for some thrills.
In fact, just after the parade was over, in the dressing room of Real Madrid, everyone was also discussing what to do with the next game.
"Abandon the rest of the game." Guti is the most intense opinion about this. "There is no need to play the next game. Instead of wasting time in the league, it is better to put all your energy into the Champions League. Go up."
In this regard, Schuster still consulted Zhao Yaning.
Zhao Yaning's scoring number this season is very likely to exceed the 30 mark. And this number makes him and Manchester United's Ronaldinho the most powerful contender for the European Golden Boot this season. Although Real Madrid has won the championship in advance, and because they have already lost one game, it is impossible to win the championship undefeated, so there is no need to fight every game. However, whether Zhao Yaning wants to win the European Golden Boot is also an influence. Schuster's layout problem.
After all, Schuster knew that he was able to sit down and depend on whose ability.
"I don't think it matters." Zhao Yaning missed the golden boots last year. This year, he still has the same attitude. "You can get it, you can't get it. Anyway, I don't miss that European golden boot. the same."
He didn't want to take it, but he thought that his opponent was Manchester United. At this time, he didn't want to go all out to compete with his opponent for the championship. He still thought about how to get the golden boots. He still felt unnecessary. .
Everything has priorities and cannot be lost because of small things.
Moreover, Zhao Yaning still has nothing to say: Real Madrid is a La Liga team, the latest La Liga season ends, the last game, but behind the Premier League. If Zhao Yaning really wants the Golden Boots, he can go to the last game to score goals. Why bother to prepare so early? At this time, I still think about how to deal with Manchester United.
And now, after Manchester United have played Schalke 04 a few times, Ferguson also mentioned Real Madrid in an interview, "I want to see a peak duel of the best players. Cristiano and Zhao Yaning are both One of the best players in the world, since they have met, they should have the best game. I hope they can win the game and decide who is the better one based on the results of the game. I will be with you Real Madrid chooses to play against each other in the game. I also hope that Real Madrid and I will attack. A good game is the result of the joint efforts of both sides. I will work hard to make Manchester United play a beautiful football. I hope Real Madrid will not let me down. Such a game , It would be a pity if you can't make a good game."
"Since Ferguson said so, it would definitely not be a matchup. They probably want to rely on the advantage of first away and second to defeat us. In our home court, they probably wouldn't dare to attack. We have to make a right judgment. Able to win."
Schuster said his views, but Zhao Yaning frowned: Is it that simple for Ferguson? As the premier coach of the Premier League, his thoughts shouldn't be so naive, right? Even in Madrid, Zhao Yaning could smell the conspiracy.
But what is he thinking?
