After playing the Champions League quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid can put all their energy into the league, because in the Champions League, Dortmund is no longer a concern. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The weekend after the match with Borussia Dortmund is the Madrid derby, the second of the season, with three in total, the last of which was in the Copa del Rey final in April.

Although Real Madrid has not lost in the face of Atletico Madrid, and this time it is still at home, but Mourinho did not take it lightly, he still remembers the scene at the Calderón Stadium in the first half of the season, if it were not for Chu Zhongtian against his will in the end, if he improvised, maybe Real Madrid's eighteen consecutive wins would not have happened.

In terms of Real Madrid's strength, beating Atletico Madrid is not a big problem, unless Real Madrid underestimates the enemy and makes mistakes themselves. So before the game, Mourinho didn't talk to the Real Madrid players about tactics, but showed them a tape of the first half of the season to help the stars recall the problems they encountered because of their pride.

It's more effective than saying 10,000 words in your mouth.

These Real Madrid stars are very proud and they will not tolerate Atletico Madrid repeating this.

With that belief, they stepped onto the turf of the Bernabeu pitch.

It was a game with little suspense, Real Madrid fans watched the game with a relaxed mood, and Atletico Madrid fans did not dream of beating Jose Mourinho's side at the Bernabeu.

The final result was the same, with a goal from Chu Zhongtian and a brace from Gonzalo Higuain as Real Madrid comfortably beat Atletico Madrid 3-0 at home.

Atletico Madrid didn't even give Casillas much of a problem.

Sergio Aguero went off injured after only 60 minutes of the game, and his injury was not caused by a scramble with a Real Madrid player, but he strained his thigh muscles while chasing the ball.

After the match, the Catalan media sourly said that Atletico Madrid had given water to Real Madrid, which was unsportsmanlike, and the result was an outcry from Atletico Madrid. You must know that Atletico Madrid's loss of the Madrid derby is enough to make a nest, and being said like this is tantamount to pouring salt on the wound, which is unbearable.

But these things have nothing to do with Real Madrid.

At the same time as Real Madrid won, Barcelona also scored.

The two teams are currently separated by just one point, moving them off the third place in the table by as much as 17 points, and the gap will continue to widen.

The entire La Liga league has been reduced to a lonely showdown between the two giants just over the halfway point of the schedule. It's definitely not a good thing for La Liga. But neither the teams in the middle and lower reaches nor the Spanish Football Federation were powerless to solve such a problem, and could only watch Barcelona and Real Madrid run farther and farther away towards the two huge monsters, leaving everyone stunned behind.

The image of Spanish football in Europe can only rely on these two giants, but the images of these two giants are different. Barcelona is a gorgeous representative, but it is not flawless, for many years, the relationship between them and the referee, and UEFA, is enough to intrigue the imagination, after last season's Champions League semi-final in Barcelona defeated Real Madrid at home to knock them out, Mourinho angrily slammed Barcelona and UEFA colluded together, and some people in UEFA did not want Real Madrid to reach the final. In addition, behind the gorgeousness, the Barcelona players always exaggerated fall to the ground and excessive self-protection have also attracted many fans and reporters to be dissatisfied and criticized, and in China they have won the obviously derogatory name of "La Masia Film and Television Academy". Of course, on a final note, Barcelona must disdain to represent the image of Spanish football, because they represent the Catalan imagination. After Spain won the World Cup in South Africa, only the Spanish internationals from Barcelona were not wearing the Spanish flag, but holding the regional flag of Catalonia. Barcelona fans refer to the matchup between Barcelona and Real Madrid as "a war between one country and another", and the Catalans in the Barcelona squad are proud to be Catalans and never consider themselves to belong to the Spaniards.

And the image of Real Madrid, which is the enemy, is not much better. The aristocratic temperament of the past seems to have been exhausted. Mourinho brought iron and discipline to Real Madrid, but also brought a lot of negative images, such as Mourinho's conceit will be perceived as Real Madrid's conceit, such as his defensive counterattack is considered negative, conservative, regressive football, which also greatly damages Real Madrid's image. Nowadays, when many people mention Real Madrid, the first thing that comes to mind is the key words of savagery, rudeness and muscle, and the magnificence and elegance of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship are gone. Although this Real Madrid team has many stars, it plays the football of blue-collar workers. Coupled with Real Madrid's consistent pride and conceit, as well as the tradition of digging into the wall, their popularity in European football is also very average, and many football bigwigs have publicly criticized Real Madrid, thinking that Real Madrid can do whatever they want in the football circle by relying on their own money, which is not right.

It's no news that Real Madrid and Barcelona have won back-to-back, and the media is full of praise and praise for their supportive teams, as well as various attacks on their enemies. If one day a team other than Barcelona and Real Madrid beats these two teams, it will quickly make headlines.

But at the moment, it's hard for any team to do that.

They can only be counted on to defeat each other. In the first leg of the league national derby, Real Madrid had home advantage, beating Barcelona 2-0. And the next leg of the league national derby, Barcelona will return to their home stadium, what will be the scoreline then?

La Liga's points rules are different from other leagues. For example, in the Premier League, where Espanyol always compares, if the two teams have the same final points, then the comparison is the goal difference, and the goal difference is the same and then the total number of goals is compared, if even the total number of goals is the same, then it will be a championship play-off.

And what about La Liga? It's a bit more complicated, with the same number of points at the end of the season, it's not the goal difference that is compared, but the record of both sides, and the goal difference when the two sides play each other with the same record. If three or more teams are tied, the special standings are determined by a direct comparison of the results of the season's matches between these teams. Therefore, in the 2006-2007 season, Real Madrid completed a shocking comeback from a maximum of 15 points behind Barcelona and finally won the La Liga title, relying on their results in the two-legged national derby against Barcelona. Real Madrid and Barcelona were tied on points in the end that season, but Real Madrid had one win and one draw in the two-legged meeting with Barcelona, and Barcelona was at a disadvantage with one loss and one draw.

At the moment, the two teams are only one point apart, and if Barcelona can live at home to a few hundred Real Madrid, even if the last two teams are on the same point, Barcelona will be able to pull the two sides to the same running line and compare each other's goal difference. If they can beat Real Madrid by a big score at home, such as repeating the 5:0 at home last season, then even if they are tied on points in the future, they can rely on the goal difference between the two sides to beat Real Madrid to win the championship.

But that's going to have to wait until April of this year.

The media believe that the second leg of this year's league national derby will be the focus of the battle to determine the league's ownership. After the result of the match, unless it is a draw, the title race will be clear.

Real Madrid continued to win, ending their 18-game winning streak and continuing to run unbeaten in 25 league games.

Chu Zhongtian was asked this question in an interview with Chinese media: "It seems to be smooth sailing at Real Madrid, which is completely different from at Metz and Hoffenheim, and you can always win every game, does it make you feel tired and slack?" ”

Chu Zhongtian was happy as soon as he heard this question: "Who would be tired of victory?" It's not a cup, it's a league, and the league championship is the result of countless victories like this. ”

In fact, this problem is also worried by many people, who have been worried that Real Madrid will always win like this, and the players will be fatigued because of this, and various situations such as pride and underestimation of the enemy have appeared one after another. It's really hard for this team to beat them from the outside, but if they have problems internally, it's dangerous.

In fact, when Real Madrid was forced to draw away by Real Betis after the winter break, the media thought that Real Madrid had already seen such a situation. But soon with Chu Zhongtian's excellent performance, all problems were covered up, Real Madrid continued their winning streak, and Chu Zhongtian himself was named Player of the Month.

With 12 rounds left and a third of the fixtures to go, Real Madrid will face fewer tough opponents than before, but no one can guarantee that it will be smooth sailing.

“…… The Galactic Battleship is now so smooth sailing that they themselves ignore the turbulent undercurrent under their feet. And now there is a very bad atmosphere in La Liga, that is, all the teams will be too cowardly after meeting Real Madrid and Barcelona, and almost raise their hands and surrender in advance. I don't think La Liga should be a 16+2 league, La Liga should be more competitive, and all teams should be more motivated and motivated against the two giants. You know, whoever can beat Real Madrid or Barcelona now is enough to be famous in the world! Isn't that temptation enough? ”

Someone couldn't stand it anymore, wrote in the newspaper.

He said a lot about the Spaniards, and if the Spanish Primera League evolves into a league of Barcelona and Real Madrid plus sixteen other teams, it will not be a good thing for La Liga, but a detriment. They want their league to be like the Premier League.

But moving your mouth is always the easiest. The critic's intentions are good, but he is not qualified to demand that all teams do what he wants.

I know that I can't fight, why do I have to pay a great price to fight? Giving up the games against Real Madrid and Barcelona is only a loss of six points, but accumulating the strength to face those teams that are at the same level as themselves and inferior to themselves, wouldn't it be possible to ensure that they can safely get more points?

With such a simple math problem, the managers of those teams are not stupid, they know it very well.

So despite the media's clamour, in the 26th round of the league, Real Madrid easily defeated Athletic Bilbao with a score of 4:2 away.

Real Madrid took the lead just three minutes into the game, with C. Ronaldo's long-range shot forcing Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Moreno to get off the hook and a shrewd Higuain following up to score with a follow-up shot.

Athletic Bilbao then equalised, but five minutes later, they conceded again. At the end of the first half, the score was 3-1, with Real Madrid leading.

“…… This Real Madrid team is simply unbeatable! The commentator lamented at the end of the first half. They made me ring the same Barcelona before and they were equally unbeatable......"

In the second half, both sides scored one goal each, and the final score was fixed at 4:2.

Chu Zhongtian contributed an assist in the game and did not score.

Two-thirds of the way through the league play, he has nine league goals and fifteen assists. In the Champions League, there was one goal and eight assists.

This is not as impressive as last season at Hoffenheim. But considering that Real Madrid is not Hoffenheim, Chu Zhongtian does a lot of things in Hoffenheim alone, so he also scores more goals and assists more. At Real Madrid, he has better teammates than at Hoffenheim, and there are many things that he doesn't need to do personally, with a lot of goals, and assists with good players like Mesut Ozil and Di Maria.

However, the data is not dazzling, it does not mean that his status in the team is not important, and everyone can see from the fact that he starts every game, and he has completely conquered Mourinho, the arrogant manager.

Judging from the photos of Real Madrid's training taken by reporters, Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho often talk and laugh when they are training, and their relationship is very harmonious. On other occasions, Mourinho also expressed his appreciation for Chu Zhongtian. Jose Mourinho is a man who rarely publicly praises a player, but he has expressed a degree of preference for Chu Zhongtian.

In fact, such stories are nothing new for Mourinho. He's had a lot of disagreements with a lot of players, but once the two of them work together, he changes his attitude right away. When he was in charge of Chelsea, he hated C. Ronaldo's fake falls, and repeatedly ridiculed C. Ronaldo, but at the same time he also satirized Manchester United: "I don't like the way C. Ronaldo plays, but you know that in a team like Manchester United, it's inevitable to do that. ”

This seems to show that he is a smart man, he knows that every emotion he expresses, every word he says has a purpose, and when he and C. Ronaldo are enemies, he attacks him, provokes him, satirizes him, and does everything he can to influence him. But when the two of them played side by side, C. Ronaldo became the person he said: "The best player in the world, slightly better than Messi".

The same is true in the heavens of Chuzhong. C. Ronaldo was compared to Messi by Mourinho. Chu Zhongtian is considered by Mourinho to be a better midfielder than Xavi.

'In midfield, he's the best and most talented player I've ever seen, ahead of Xavi and Andres Iniesta. Barcelona are proud to have Xavi and Andres Iniesta, and I have to say I only need one Chu. ”

That's a very high rating. There are not many players in this world who can get into the eyes of a proud person like Jose Mourinho, let alone have such an evaluation.

Before the winter break, there were many rumours that one of Mourinho and Chu Zhongtian would leave Real Madrid after the end of the season, and no one has said such stupid things anymore.

Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho have such a good relationship, it is like a honeymoon.

Mourinho praised him so much and valued him, so how does Chu Zhongtian view himself as a manager? He's been through several managers and he's had success with every single one.

Let. Fernandes was Zinedine Zidane's mentor, leading Metz to the UEFA Cup and now doing well at Accerre to replace Guerru. What about Rangnick? He led Hoffenheim to victory over Barcelona and lift the European Champions Cup, reaching his peak.

How is Mourinho different from them?

'He's a very methodical manager, he's serious at work, he's the most serious manager I've ever met, he's been fanatical about analysing game footage and data. His character? His personality is good, it's normal, you're just being fooled by his mask. Actually, he's just like us. I think he's a very good manager, like Bruno Fernandes and Rangnick. ”

Chu Zhongtian's answer was a little slippery, and no one was offended.

"Of course, he's won a lot of titles. I like a manager like this because he knows what it takes to win titles. And I love the championship too, I feel like we have a common language. ”

After the interview, the outlet ran the headline: "Champion Coach + Champion Player =?" No answer was given, but everyone knew what they were trying to say.

This season's Real Madrid, apart from the championship, what else can satisfy them?

Yes.

More championships than one champion.
