Chapter 413: Drawing Lots (Part 7)

Real Madrid lost 2-0 away in the first leg. In the second leg at the Bernabeu, Zidane only changed one position compared to the first leg, and that was to replace Danilo with Carvajal, and Benzema recovered from a knee injury in time.

The game is also of great significance for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is the Portuguese star's 125th Champions League game, and his 125 Champions League games are also tied with Seedorf for fifth place in the all-time individual appearances in the Champions League.

The game was played in the rain.

Before the start of the game, the whole field was filled with the deceased former Real Madrid player Felipe. De Louis observed a moment of silence.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid fans hung a banner in the stands with three arrows hitting Milan, referring to the 1985 UEFA Cup semi-finals, Real Madrid reversed 3-0 at home after losing 0-2 to Inter Milan in the first leg.

AC Milan: It's about Lao Tzu's eggs!

Interestingly, Real Madrid's arch-rivals Barcelona seem to be able to fly the same banner if they face such a predicament, as they also have a good history of losing the first leg 0-2 at the San Siro and coming back from home.

Real Madrid took the lead in the 15th minute!

Carvajal cut off Rabiot's ball in front of the field and crossed, after the pass was blocked by Motta, the cross from the right corner of the penalty area met Aurier slightly and changed the line slightly, and Ronaldo pushed into the empty goal from 5 meters from the goal

The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was full of jubilation, and Real Madrid's goal came very early, which was very important to stabilize Real Madrid's morale.

Now, Real Madrid only need one more goal to equalise on aggregate.

However, no one expected Real Madrid's next goal to come so quickly.

After the restart of the centre circle, Real Madrid made a tackle in midfield and Modric's subsequent long-range shot was saved by Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Trapp for a corner kick opportunity.

Kroos takes a corner kick from the left, and Ronaldo's header from a small angle 7 meters from the goal bounces into the far corner, 2-0!

Real Madrid's two goals were separated by only 88 seconds!

The huge Bernabeu Stadium was boiling, and no one expected that the hole of 0-2 in the first leg would be filled so quickly.

"Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Ronaldo! He's our superstar! Superheroes! The live announcer at the Bernabeu shouted excitedly.

After scoring twice, Ronaldo has scored at least 45 goals in the Champions League for Real Madrid in six consecutive seasons, which is quite a terrifying goalscoring efficiency.

……

In the second half, the rain did not stop, and Real Madrid's offensive became more and more intense.

In the 66th minute, there was controversy, Kroos took a corner kick from the left, Ramos hit the inside of the right post with a header from 7 meters in front of the goal, the ball flew near the goal line, Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Trapp scooped up the football, and the players of Real Madrid raised their hands to signal that the football had crossed the goal line, but the referee Kaushoi ruled that the goal was not scored.

Zinedine Zidane was very unhappy with the decision, and he finally calmed down after receiving a verbal warning from the referee.

Or rather, what made Zidane less angry was that their third goal had come!

It was Karim Benzema who won a free-kick in front of Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo took a free-kick from 25 yards in front of goal, through the narrow gap between Nardo and Giravogui, into the bottom right corner.

This is Cristiano Ronaldo's 16 goals in the Champions League this season, second only to his own record of 17 in 2013-14, while he also rewrote his personal record for Champions League goals to 96.

In the end, after losing 2-0 away in the first leg, Real Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 at home in the second leg to advance to the semi-finals of the 2015/2016 Champions League.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the camera first gave a close-up of Neymar, the star of Paris Saint-Germain, and then quickly turned to Ronaldo, the number one star of Real Madrid, and the camera language was very interesting.

For a time, Ronaldo's power was raging, Zidane's passionate command dominated the headlines of major media, and in the competitive football field, the concept of "winner is king" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it is not surprising that Real Madrid, which has completed an epic reversal, has been highly praised by major media.

However, the Madrid media "As" specifically listed Ronaldo's goals in this season's Champions League 16, and then Jiang Chenxi's goals 12 below, and used the phrase 'who is stronger', which is a bit suspected of provoking.

……

On the day when Jiang Chenxi led Liverpool to eliminate Manchester City with an aggregate score of 5-3 over two legs and advanced to the semifinals of the 2015/2016 Champions League, the AFC also held the draw ceremony for the 2018 Russian World Cup Asian Qualifiers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Iraq and Thailand are in the other group.

After the draw results came out, the Italian coach said that he had been mentally prepared before the draw, "The top 12 matches are the same difficulty no matter which group they are divided in, there is no advantageous or unfavorable group, and the most important thing for us is to face it with a normal heart and do our best." ”

The last time the Chinese team entered the final stage of the Asian region of the World Preliminary Tournament was in the top 10 in 2001, when the head coach Mi Lu led the Chinese team to 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the top 10 rounds, ranking first in the group, and entered the 2002 Japan and South Korea World Cup in history, but then in the 2006 World Cup in Germany, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the Chinese team failed to enter the final stage of the Asian qualifiers.

In the Round of 12 stage, six teams from each of the two groups will play a round-robin home and away match, which starts on 1 September this year and ends on 5 September 2017. In the end, the top two teams in each group, a total of 4 teams, will directly qualify for the World Cup in Russia. The third-placed teams from both groups will play a play-off, with the winner facing the fourth-ranked team from the CONCACAF World Championship over two legs for a place in the World Finals.

With the release of the draw results, the schedule of the Chinese team to compete in the top 12 matches has also been determined: the first round on September 1, 2016, the Chinese team will challenge the South Korean team away, the second round on September 6, the third round on October 6, the Chinese team will play against the Iranian team and the Syrian team at home, on October 11, the fifth round, the Chinese team will challenge the Uzbekistan team away, on November 15 and March 23, 2017, the Chinese team will face the Qatar team and the South Korean team at home, and on March 28, 2017, the 7th round, In the 8th round on June 13, the Chinese team challenged the Iranian team and the Syrian team respectively, on August 31, the 9th round of the Chinese team hosted the Uzbekistan team, and on September 5, the last round of the Chinese team will go to West Asia to challenge the Qatar team.

After the results of the group draw came out, the media was hotly discussed.

And there was a post on the network that quickly went viral.

"For the Chinese team, it is not ideal to be in the same group as Iran and South Korea, both of which are our bitter hosts, and there is basically no hope for these four games; And then there is Qatar, needless to say, it is another bitter master of the Chinese team, we have to deal with it very carefully, as well as Uzbekistan and Syria, these two teams are not easy to deal with, alas, oh my god, I looked around, I was so scared...... Okay, I suddenly remembered, we have Jiang Chenxi, so what are you afraid of? ”。

It is true, after the results of the draw came out in the past, the Chinese media would dig out their minds to study the grouping, study the opponents, analyze which games the Chinese team must win, which games must not be won, which games depend on luck, and finally analyze and analyze, only to find that these are useless, and the Chinese team has to fight for honor.

However, it is different now, the Chinese team is still the same Chinese team, this is the general situation, but the only difference is that the Chinese team has Jiang Chenxi, not to mention what kind of performance the Chinese team will have in the face of European and American teams, but it is still very strong in Asia, and the chance to compete for a World Cup ticket is still quite large.

Therefore, both the fans and the media are more optimistic and very calm.
