Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters are very important
Update time: 2013-02-07
When Mallorca players returned to Mallorca, almost all Mallorca fans were about to go crazy - everyone knows what four-to-two away means - in the history of the Champions League, there seems to be no team that lost 2-to-4 at home and could still win back on the away game!
Take a step back and say that even if Mallorca's unbeaten record at home is broken, as long as Mallorca does not have a net loss of three goals, he can enter the final of the Champions League - he has entered the final of the Champions League for three consecutive years. Only Real Madrid has done it in Spain. Barcelona? They are very strong, but they only have one Champions League title now. Compared with us, that is far behind!
The finals are still at your home court!
Having achieved such a brilliant victory, the next second round of the game could almost be said to be a formality. In this case, Mallorca could focus on the league and not give Real Madrid a slight chance!
You should know that for a team that wants to win the triple crown, the most troublesome thing to win the triple crown is that it is possible to lose sight of one thing, pay attention to the league, there is a problem with the Champions League, and there is a problem with the league. Both ends must be raised. If you press this end, you can't press that end...
But now the situation in Mallorca is different. In the league, they have accumulated enough advantages. In the first round of the Champions League, they also have a huge advantage. In addition, they have won the King's Cup before, this situation will undoubtedly be the best situation for Mallorca!
Next, Mallorca will face Athletic Santander in the league at home, followed by Chelsea at home in the middle of the week. If he had not gained such a big advantage before, Mallorca would inevitably have to retain his strength at home, and might be tied by Athletic Santander, giving Real Madrid hope of chasing points - the gap of six points is relatively large, but if it is reduced to four points, it is already close to a dangerous line!
Now, Mallorca can be more energy in the league. As long as Mallorca's energy is not involved in the Champions League, no matter how outstanding Santander Athletics is, it is impossible to cause too much trouble for Mallorca at home!
The opponents in the last four rounds were not bad. First, they played against Athletic Bilbao, which was fighting for relegation, and then another relegation team Osasuna. Next, they challenged Barcelona away and faced Zaragoza at home. If you are not careful, you may be caught by Real Madrid.
However, as long as Mallorca maintains its current advantage, they can win the league championship one round ahead of schedule. In that case, the final of the Champions League, which will start three days after the end of the La Liga, will not create too many obstacles for Mallorca.
The same is true.
In the next round of the league, Jose, except for the four main players who had some physical problems, Henry, Klose, Kaka and Macon, all the other main players appeared. Ivanovic served as the right back, Iniesta, Silva and Ronaldo formed a trident, and using this lineup to play against Santander, also proved Jose's desire to score three-pointers at home.
Another game in this round is Real Madrid's home game against Athletic Bilbao, which is fighting for relegation. These two games are also related to the final trend of the league to a certain extent. If Mallorca, who consumed too much physical fitness away, was blocked by Athletic Santander at home, then Real Madrid may find an opportunity to catch up. If Real Madrid can't even win Athletic Bilbao, there seems to be no suspense in the entire league...
As a result, both sides seemed very competitive in this case.
Relying on the new trident Silva, Iniesta and Ronaldo each scored one goal, Mallorca defeated Athletic Santander 3-1 at home and successfully scored three-pointers. Real Madrid also won successfully at home. They rely on Saviola, Robben and Higuain's goals to beat Athletic Bilbao three-to-zero, and continued to chase behind Mallorca!
There are four rounds left in the league. Although Mallorca is still six points ahead of Real Madrid, Real Madrid still has not given up. After walking out of the previous panic, Real Madrid seems to have only one idea left at this moment, that is, they must never give up. Even if they chase it to the end, they must use victory to get the final hope...
"At this time, Real Madrid is indeed a respectable opponent."
Jose was a rare serious answer in an interview: "I have to say that Real Madrid's performance is beyond my expectations. With the team's continuous turmoil, the head coach has changed almost a year and has not won a decent championship for five or six years, Real Madrid can still stick to this point. It has to be said that their background has played a huge role. Even if such a giant has a long gap period, it will not completely fall. Real Madrid lacks nothing, but just a more stable environment. Which coach is more suitable for Real Madrid? Sorry, I can't give you this answer, because I am not the management of Real Madrid, which is the management of Real Madrid. As for the league championship this season, I still have to say sorry - because I am determined by this championship! I will never give up if I have the chance to compete for the triple crown. There are only six games left in this season. Will we give up?"
Jose's words made Real Madrid fans happy, and they also felt a little sad. To a large extent, Jose's words were right. With Real Madrid's background and current situation, it is actually a very simple thing for them to revive. A suitable coach and a few suitable signings will immediately revive this old strong team!
However, in the past few years, Real Madrid has never found a suitable coach. As for signings... Real Madrid is really not short of money.
Many Real Madrid fans began to think involuntarily - it would be great if we had a head coach like Jose! However, in fact, even if Jose does not own Mallorca and is just a head coach, he would not choose to go to Real Madrid - he is a head coach who needs everyone to surround him and give him full support. Only one voice in the entire club can fully play out his own level. Real Madrid does not have this environment. Real Madrid always treats any head coach with the most harsh attitude. In addition to achieving good results in Real Madrid, the head coach also has to please fans, management, and media... However, you cannot satisfy everyone. The position of Real Madrid's head coach is a position that needs to satisfy everyone.
Jose is not that stupid, and he doesn't want to live so hard.
After defeating Santander Athletics, Mallorca began to welcome Chelsea from afar. After the last home defeat, almost everyone thought it was unlikely that Chelsea would enter the Champions League final. After that game, Chelsea's acting head coach Grant submitted his resignation to the club's senior management. Although Abraham kept Grant, even Chelsea fans knew that Grant would only bring this season at most, and Abraham would look for another head coach...
In this case, although Chelsea players still perform very well, it is far from enough to become the first team in the history of the Champions League to win back by losing 2-4 at home...
In an almost hand-to-hand game, Mallorca took the lead by relying on Kaka's long shot to score. Shortly after the second half, Ashley Cole equalized the score at a small angle after receiving Drogba's pass. However, neither side made any achievements in the following time. Mallorca entered the final with a total score of 5-3!
Mallorca has reached the finals of the Champions League for three consecutive years! This achievement is second only to Real Madrid in the whole of Spain!
In addition, Mallorca has become the first triple-champion team in Spain before, and the results in the Champions League alone are enough to make Mallorca a top-level position in La Liga!
Mallorca fans were so happy that they almost forgot who the opponent in the finals were, but Jose would not forget...
In the other two semi-finals, Manchester United performed very well. They first tied Barcelona with zero-to-zero away games. After returning to home, they relied on Cristiano Ronaldo's gold goal to beat Barcelona 1-0 at home, reaching the final of the Champions League for the first time since 1999!
For Ferguson, the fact that his retirement time is getting mentioned more and more frequently is definitely something that makes him very happy to be able to reach the finals of the Champions League again!
Manchester United fans were also extremely excited. In their opinion, this proves that it is only Manchester United who maintains the honor of the Premier League - two Premier League teams entering the semi-finals. After Chelsea was eliminated by Mallorca, they struggled to eliminate Barcelona, proving that Manchester United is the best team in the Premier League!
When Manchester United also entered the finals, the statement of "Premier League nemesis" mentioned by the media was raised again. Mallorca had eliminated three teams from the same league in the knockout round, and now it will face the fourth team from the same league in the finals. This is the first time in the history of the Champions League.
In the past, this situation was impossible for the Champions League. That was because the Champions League was a veritable "Champion" Cup. Only the champion teams of each league could participate. After the Champions League continued to expand, few four teams in one league entered the knockout round, and then they happened to be met by a team continuously, and they happened to be eliminated by a team continuously - from this perspective, UEFA's gimmick was created very successfully, and the purpose of attacking the Premier League was also achieved to a large extent through Mallorca...
Although Premier League teams have often entered the quarterfinals at the same time and three teams have entered the quarterfinals at the same time in recent years, only Chelsea snatched it from Mallorca in terms of the number of championships. This league with excessive business and excessive money has not become a bad role model, which also made UEFA feel relieved.
As for Mallorca's glory... let them be arrogant. Anyway, the Premier League has been almost done this season. It is not difficult to hold up another team to attack Mallorca...
However, since the finals will not start for three weeks, the media did not hype it wildly, but were all holding it in, waiting for the Champions League final to hype it up again - if it is hyped now, when the Champions League starts, is there any other meaning?
Mallorca and Manchester United also remained silent in a tacit understanding. Jose just said, "We are happy to achieve our pre-season goal and participate in the Champions League final at the Conch Stadium." Ferguson just said, "We can now focus all our attention in the league." As for statements such as "Premier League nemesis", both sides did not mention it.
Fans of both sides also focused on the remaining rounds of the league - Mallorca has four rounds left, they lead Real Madrid by six points, and Manchester United has two rounds left, their points are the same as Chelsea, but they rely on the advantage of goal difference, and the next league is very important to both sides.
