Chapter 122 Finals!

In the middle of the week, Real Madrid and Celtics played first. This made many Madrid media very dissatisfied, because Real Madrid and Barcelona played against each other last Sunday night. Real Madrid played in the Champions League or away game, but they played one day earlier than Barcelona, ​​which played at home. The league is away game and the Champions League is away game. In this way, Real Madrid must run back and forth in this week, which is really too hard.

And what about Barcelona? Just wait for their opponents to come to their home court. They don’t have the hardships of traveling to Real Madrid, and the same goes for Manchester United.

The Catalan media thinks that Madrid media is talking lies with their eyes open. They also gave example before the national derby, Real Madrid could quietly wait for a decisive battle with the Celtics at home, but Barcelona was going to go to Manchester. Now it was Real Madrid's turn to run around, and they complained, and they didn't have the awareness of being Real Madrid at all... Both sides are always like this, and they can verbalize for a little bit of small things.

Mourinho also launched a psychological war before the game.

Instead of talking about the match between Real Madrid and Celtics, he commented on the semi-finals between Barcelona and Manchester United.

"...I don't know if I will enter the finals. Now, both sides have a chance..." This is nonsense, so the focus is not here, the focus is below. "But no matter who enters the finals, I am very sure which one thing to go to - that is, our Real Madrid will win the championship! Whether the opponent is Manchester United or Barcelona. I have no intention of offending these two teams. I just want to be honest. I am very confident in the strength of my team. I think we will be the best team in the finals and we deserve to win."

I don't know if he angered Barcelona or Manchester United, but he angered the Celtics in the first place.

The Celtics head coach fired back at a subsequent press conference: "I certainly know that our hopes of turning the tables at home are very slim. But the Celtics have a very good tradition, that is, anyone who dares to underestimate us will end up miserably!"

This sentence is murderous.

Mourinho didn't care at all.

He did not send all his main players to play against the Celtics away. He allowed many main players to rest and used rotational lineups to deal with the Celtics.

For example, Kaka, Higuain, Chu Zhongtian, Marcelo, Ramos and others all got a chance to rest. Di Maria replaced Kaka, Ozil replaced Chu Zhongtian, Benzema replaced Higuain, Gareth Bale replaced Marcelo, and Aberoa replaced Ramos to start, and Albiol also replaced Carvalho in the centre-back.

Real Madrid almost replaced most of the teams.

But even such a lineup cannot be underestimated.

Di Maria's strength is inferior to Kaka at all, and his characteristics are very different from Kaka. He is better at dribbling and crossing, and is much more active than Kaka on the wing. Benzema is also a genius striker, and has scored thirteen goals this season. Bale is worth 30 million euros, so there is naturally his reason. He can be compared with Marcelo in the wing offense. Not to mention Ozil, the best foreign aid in La Liga last season, once made Kaka squeeze on the bench. In addition, Aberoa and Albiol are both not famous but outstanding players, and are irreplaceable "role players" of the team.

This is not the case with C. Ronaldo who continues to stay on the court. This guy who never knows that he has scored ten goals in the Champions League and is going to score the best scorer of the Champions League this season, so Mourinho left him in the starting lineup without giving him a rest.

Just looking at this lineup, it is really unfair to say that Mourinho looked down on the Celtics - because this lineup is the absolute main force in any other team, but in Real Madrid, it is a rotation lineup... So if the Celtics think that Real Madrid underestimated them, they will be in trouble.

In fact, the Celtics' head coach believes that Real Madrid underestimated them. In order to boost the morale of the team, he also used this before the game to make the players feel hatred for Real Madrid as the motivation for the game.

He thought that miracles could be created.

But the Celtics players understood that - Real Madrid despised us, which certainly made us angry, so we decided to give them some good looks in the game and let them know what the price to despise us.

In fact, it is not wrong to think so. If you are despised, you will have to take revenge, and then your combat effectiveness will increase exponentially. This is a very common situation in the football world.

But the problem is that this Real Madrid does not underestimate them... The advantage of rotation plastic surgery is that first of all, it can ensure that the starting lineup will not be troubled by injuries, and secondly, rotation is conducive to increasing the healthy competition within the team - rotation players must hope to prove that they are not weaker than the starting players through their excellent performance in the game. As long as they seize the opportunity, they can definitely replace them. So when they play, their performance will be better... Just like a lion who has been hungry for two days, unable to wait to tear the prey to pieces.

※※※ Guardiola did not sit in front of the TV to watch the match between Real Madrid and Celtics. For him, there was no suspense in this game. The Celtics, who lost 0:4 away, would definitely not be able to stop Real Madrid from moving forward. Real Madrid has actually entered the finals. They just need to waste these ninety minutes. If they are in a good mood, they might be able to score a few more and expand the total score.

What is the value of this kind of game? What to say about observing and solving the opponent in the match... He doesn't think it's necessary. Barcelona and Real Madrid are already very familiar with each other, and there is no need to observe them at all. They have just fought. Guardiola's memory is not that bad.

He studied Manchester United's recent game videos in his hotel room and learned about the status of every Manchester United player.

No matter how powerful Real Madrid is, it is only an opponent in the finals. If they can't even win Manchester United, there is no need for Real Madrid to study it.

※※※The Celtic players discovered something was wrong from the beginning of the game - the head coach deceived them, and this Real Madrid team did not underestimate them at all, and they even valued this game more than the main lineup!

The home team only persisted for twenty-seven minutes amid the shouts of the fans, and the city gate was declared lost.

Di Maria assisted, Benzema scored a goal with a shovel, expanding the total score to 5:0.

"Benzema -!!gooooooooooooooooooooooool!!1:0! The total score is 5:0!! This goal has announced the end of the game in advance. Looking at the advantages and scenes Real Madrid has in these 27 minutes, we already know that the Celtics don't want to turn the tables at home!"

"The suspense was completely over, and Real Madrid did not give the Celtics any chance. Everyone thought Mourinho's rotation lineup would give the Celtics an opportunity to take advantage of, but he didn't expect that this Real Madrid was more thirsty and terrifying!"

"Murinho really has a good hand..." the Catalonian narrator said with a little sourness.

The total score is 5:0, and there is also an away goal, which means that if the Celtics want to advance to the final, they have to get Real Madrid six goals at their home court.

Not to mention Celtics, even Barcelona is unlikely to do it - they have just practiced it, and did not score six goals in their home court, but instead asked Real Madrid to score four... This game lost its meaning from the moment Benzema scored. Next, it depends on whether Real Madrid slaughtered the Celtics, or whether they showed mercy and spared some effort.

The commentator also began to analyze for everyone the opponents Real Madrid may encounter in the finals. Manchester United and Barcelona both need to analyze them.

Many commentators are optimistic about Barcelona. Although they just lost to Real Madrid, this will stimulate them to perform better in the Champions League and enter the final to avenge Real Madrid.

The commentators in England are more optimistic about Manchester United. They believe that Barcelona lost to Real Madrid at their home court and were also scored a hat-trick by Chu Zhongtian. Such a blow is too heavy and cruel for Barcelona, ​​which is so arrogant. Three days of such a blow may not be enough for Barcelona to digest. They will definitely be disturbed in the Champions League semi-finals with Barcelona. As long as Manchester United can seize this opportunity, there is great hope of advancing to the final. After all, Manchester United won the first leg and led Barcelona by one goal in the total score.

Some people suggest that Ferguson should study the video of Real Madrid's away game against Barcelona, ​​find something to learn from, and find the wonderful way to crack Barcelona.

※※※ "How to crack Barcelona?" Ferguson wrote and painted on paper, conceiving the tactical ideas for the second round of the game, while saying to his assistant without raising his head, "It's very simple, give me a chu."

He did not watch the video of the league match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. First of all, he had watched the live broadcast of the game. Secondly, from the game, Chu Zhongtian is obviously a key figure. If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, it would be hard to say whether Real Madrid could win. Barcelona's counterattack was very fierce in a short period of time. Of course Ferguson saw this. He also compared it and thought that if his team was on defense, could withstand such an offensive as Barcelona... Of course, the result was not optimistic.

But the most important thing is not whether you can defend it. When any team faces Barcelona's offensive, they cannot defend it only but not attack. They are definitely capable of scoring goals within 90 minutes. So the key is their own offense. If they cannot make any breakthroughs in offense, causing trouble for Barcelona while also trying to score goals and changing the situation, the game will be very dangerous.

Real Madrid also changed the situation with Chu Zhongtian's first goal. It can be said that Chu Zhongtian's first goal was very critical. He equalized the score, hit Barcelona's confidence, and also disrupted Barcelona's tactical deployment, forcing them to press forward and continue the attack, so that the loopholes in their defense line would be even bigger, and Real Madrid could use these loopholes and gaps at will.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Chu Zhongtian scored one after another.

Because he has always been optimistic about Chu Zhongtian, Ferguson is not surprised that Chu Zhongtian can complete a hat-trick at the Camp Nou. He even feels that it is too little to finish the second hat-trick in his career with Chu Zhongtian's ability... Ferguson really thinks it's a pity for Chu Zhongtian to go to Real Madrid, because there is C. Ronaldo in Real Madrid, and this person who is destined to be the core is. Mourinho's tactics must be set up according to Ronaldo as the center. Ronaldo's continuous goals are related to this.

So what would Chu Zhongtian look like if he came to Manchester United? Ferguson will tailor a set of tactics for him, with him as the core, not only to leverage his ability to organize offense, but also to fully utilize his talent in scoring. He is confident that Chu Zhongtian will become a midfielder with more than 30 league goals in a season after Ronaldo.

Unfortunately, all this can only be in my mind. Chu Zhongtian will never transfer to Manchester United. Look at his performance this season. Even if Real Madrid replaces Mourinho next season, the new head coach will never sell him.

When Ferguson thought of this, he felt depressed - Chu Zhongtian, why didn’t you come to Manchester United?

If Chu Zhongtian had, he would have gone to the hotel bar with his assistant to have a drink, and would never lie on the desk and think hard, frowning his eyebrows together and look sad.

With Chu Zhongtian, is it still difficult to fight Barcelona?

※※※What Ferguson expected was all staged in Real Madrid.

In the 75th minute of the game, Chu Zhongtian stood on the sidelines wearing Real Madrid's No. 10 jersey, and he will make a substitute for Ozil.

At this time, above the far end of his position, there is the big screen of the Celtic Park Stadium, and the real-time scores are played on it.

The visiting team Real Madrid's team logo is "3", while the home team Celtics only has one "1".

"Chu is going to play as a substitute! Mourinho's intention to make the core players feel is obvious... But he has this qualification because now in the total score, Real Madrid leads 7:1, and the outcome of this game is no longer suspense. The only thing that can comfort Celtic fans is at their own home court. The Celtics avoided being knocked out by Real Madrid, and they still scored a goal..."

The commentator said this and didn't know if he was teasing the Celtics or was really happy for the Celtics... Chu Zhongtian was Mourinho's second substitution in this game. He replaced C. Ronaldo before. The Portuguese scored a beautiful direct free kick in this game, leading Messi with eleven Champions League goals, ranking first.

When Mourinho asked Chu Zhongtian to play, he did not explain much to him, but just said to him, "Go up and find the state."

The Celtic players have also lost their fighting spirit, and the Real Madrid players are showing their footwork and wonderful passes with all their hearts, while the Celtic players are the best set.

After Chu Zhongtian came on the court, he also showed his skills and passing skills very easily.

There is no suspense in the outcome of this game, and it is meaningless to continue to pursue more goals desperately. There is no difference between 3:1 and 5:1, but avoiding injury is serious. So no matter how good Chu Zhongtian's pass is, most Real Madrid players will not run actively. What if they are injured while fighting with the opponent?

This is something many Real Madrid players are worried about.

Therefore, they no longer pursue goals, for fear of angering the Celtics fans.

Chu Zhongtian saw that his passes were wasted, so he simply sought a shot opportunity. He only scored four goals in the Champions League this season, which was far from the ten Champions League goals last season. Although he was destined to not win the Champions League top scorer this season, he still hoped to be as close as possible to his results last season... In the end, Chu Zhongtian did not score a goal, and the Celtics did not score again. They seemed quite satisfied with scoring a goal that could save face... The game ended with a score of 3:1, and Real Madrid eliminated the Celtics with a total score of 7:1 and advanced to the final!

After the game, Real Madrid players rushed to the stadium to celebrate the victory. Although it was at someone else's home court, they could not suppress their inner excitement because they were too far away from the final of the event.

They have not been able to enter the Champions League final again for a full ten years. After experiencing too many hardships, the team has reached the last game of the Champions League. As long as they can win another game, they can win the tenth Champions League trophy, which is a record that is enough to stand out!

Ten years ago when Real Madrid won the ninth Champions League trophy in their club's history, the core of the team was also a midfielder who had just transferred to the team and was less than a season. His name was Zinedine Zidane.

Now, ten years later, Real Madrid has re-emerged a midfield core. He is called "Zidane II" by the Madrid media. He and Zidane have the same mentor Jean Fernandez. He has a close personal relationship with Zidane, and his joining was even facilitated by Zidane.

Maybe it's just a coincidence. But in the football world, everyone seems to be very superstitious about these coincidences. They call these coincidences "rules", "curse" and "spells"... or something else.

Ten years ago, Zidane scored that shocking volley in the Champions League final at the Hampton Park Stadium in Scotland and was named the best goal in Champions League history. That goal helped Real Madrid win the Champions League trophy for the ninth time, and it was also one of the glorious moments that made Zidane's career.

Ten years later, what kind of performance will Chu Zhongtian perform in the finals?
