No. 995: "Barcelona, come on!" There is still hope for you! ”
After the draw ceremony, it was the Chelsea fans who were happiest, who had waited three years for revenge.
Barcelona fans cheer for their team: "Come on, Barcelona, go for the highest trophy!" ”
The Champions League is arguably Barcelona's last fig leaf when they lose the chance to compete for trophies in both domestic competitions, and if they lose this trophy, they will be empty.
Coupled with being killed by Real Madrid four times in a row, then their season can be described as "bleak", and they will be ridiculed to death by their sworn enemies.
When the major media analyzed the strength of the two pairs of opponents, the 31st round of La Liga began.
Barcelona, who made their debut 4-1 away at Zaragoza, responded to the encouragement of their fans and continued to put pressure on Real Madrid.
Real Madrid, who returned to their home stadium, had a big rotation, and most of the players who started three days ago were sitting on the bench, and Chen Fan and Cristiano Ronaldo did not even make the team's squad.
Mourinho arranged this because Real Madrid's lead was too big.
After the start of the game, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on Valencia with home advantage, and for a while Valencia roared in front of the goal.
After withstanding Real Madrid's bombardment, Valencia began to fight back and slowly regained their disadvantage on the pitch.
The game was very close, with both teams failing to take advantage of their chances to break into the opposing goal in the first half, and had to go into the second half with a 0-0 draw.
At the start of the second half, Real Madrid continued to attack, but Valencia's stubborn defence prevented them from breaking the deadlock.
Jose Mourinho began to adjust the line-up, replacing Di Maria and Kaka, who had just returned from injury.
Kaka was clearly not at his best, his role on the pitch was not obvious, and Di Maria did not perform well under the opponent's strong body.
In the end, Real Madrid could only regretfully shake hands with their opponents 0-0.
It was the first game of the season in which Real Madrid did not score, and it happened at home, with the Daily Mail commenting: "Without Chen and Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's attacking power has plummeted, and they have not been able to score goals while taking advantage of their home field."
Valencia's defence was remarkable, and they played a great game at the Bernabeu! ”
World Sports commented: "The unbeaten run made Mourinho arrogant to the extreme, he dared to put Chen and Ronaldo in the stands, and in the end he could only bitterly see a 0-0 result." ”
"Barcelona, come on! Now the difference between the two teams has narrowed to 10 points, which shows that we still have a chance! ”
Marca also believes that Mourinho's line-up is problematic: "There is nothing wrong with a large area of rotation, but Chen and Ronaldo can't all be excluded from the squad." You have to keep at least one person on the bench and you can bring them on if you can't open the game. ”
Mourinho faced the criticism of the media and said strongly: "We are still the leader now, and the lead is ten!" ”
He said sarcastically: "Some people think that Real Madrid drew a game, which made Barcelona see hope, and I will tell them with facts that the La Liga championship is Real Madrid's, and others can't take it away!" ”
He concluded: "How can a draw make you so excited? In fact, you should wait for Real Madrid's undefeated golden body to be broken before you get excited! ”
Jose Mourinho spoke out the "brutal" truth - Real Madrid are the only European team unbeaten this season!
……
Real Madrid are one of the top clubs in Europe, the only one that has been thriving for a long time, coupled with their impressive record this season and constant news in the dressing room.
They became the most watched team in Europe and the world.
If there are no these, with Chen Fan and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two Ballon d'Or winners with distinctive personalities, Real Madrid is also the object of attention of fans all over the world.
Therefore, their words and deeds will be captured by the media.
After the home draw against Valencia and Barcelona forced them close to the points, Ronaldo and Chen Fan did not speak, which made reporters itch.
Since you don't take the initiative to say something, then we will force you to say it.
On April 10, Real Madrid regrouped for training after a day off, and a large number of media reporters gathered outside the training ground, waiting for an opportunity for Chen Fan and Cristiano Ronaldo to speak.
On the training ground, the Real Madrid players talked and laughed, and were not affected by the draw two days ago, after all, that game was not the real strength of Real Madrid, and most of the main players were resting in rotation.
The players began tactical training under the guidance of the assistant coach, and Mourinho stood on the sidelines to observe the condition of the players, and the expression on his face did not change.
At the end of the session, the door to the iron fence opened, and the players and coaches rushed out.
The reporters suddenly became excited, and immediately surrounded Ronaldo and Chen Fan, asking them what they thought of the game two days ago.
Cristiano Ronaldo said: "This draw will not affect our overall picture of winning the title, and we have not failed, we are still the only team that remains unbeaten. ”
Most of the players who played against Valencia were substitutes, and the Portuguese superstar, one of the leaders of the dressing room, certainly did not blame his team-mates.
This disappointed journalists, especially those in Catalonia, who were even more expecting Chen Fan to say something.
"Actually, I think a draw is also good, it will give Barcelona more motivation and give them hope."
Chen Fan looked at the World Sports News reporter next to him with a smile and said: "Back in the past, when we were at Ajax, we were at most ten points behind, and in the end we still achieved a comeback, and finally won the Eredivisie championship from AZ Alkmaar!"
Barcelona! Come on! You still have a chance! ”
These words made the reporter of the World Sports News extremely uncomfortable, damn it, Chen, I remember you!
This is mocking Barcelona......
……
On April 11, the 32nd round of La Liga began, and Barcelona, which was the first to appear, returned to home and defeated Getafe with a score of 4-0.
Messi scored a hat-trick in the game!
The highlight of this round of matches is the "Madrid derby", with Real Madrid playing Atletico Madrid away.
The reason why Mourinho excluded Chen Fan and Cristiano Ronaldo from the squad in the last game was that Marca believed that Mourinho was preparing for this game.
In La Liga, Real Madrid's first opponent is, of course, Barcelona's sworn enemy, and Atletico Madrid's second main rival, because this is a match for Madrid fans.
And Atletico have always been good, and Mourinho understands the minds of the club's hierarchy and fans.
So after the draw at home to Valencia, the club's hierarchy and fans did not challenge him.
On the 12th, at eight o'clock in the evening, the Calderón Stadium was crowded.
"Tick! ……”
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
Jose Mourinho lined up in a 4132 formation with only two strikers. The main players who were rested in the last round all started, Benzema was placed on the bench list, Ronaldo played as the center forward, and Chen Fan stood in the left winger position.
This arrangement, which Benzema tried when he was injured, worked very well.
Therefore, from such a personnel arrangement, it can be seen that Mourinho attaches great importance to this game.
After the start of the game, the fans of both sides made a deafening noise, and the players of both sides fought fiercely on the field!
