Real Madrid scored 5 goals in the half, and the Bernabeu slaughtered Bayern Munich!
This news completely occupied the front page of the world's major sports newspapers the next day, and even occupied a very important section in a series of authoritative newspapers, which shows that Real Madrid's influence has been rising recently.
The German Bild newspaper published two completely different pictures for comparison, one is Bayern in the old strong knockout round, 12:1, like the autumn wind sweeping leaves, swept Sporting Lisbon, when they won the right to qualify, all Bayern players were excited and jī celebration scene, and the other is the appearance of them at the end of the first half 0:5 and walked into the players' tunnel lonely.
"Behind Bayern's miserable back, although there is the joy and insolent celebration of the Real Madrid players, it is more of a layer of anti-grace,"
Although many media regard the defeat as a shame and humiliation, in authoritative newspapers such as Bild, it is more about anti-grace, wanting to understand why the champion team that occupies the top position in the Bundesliga is so uncompetitive in the Champions League.
There have always been many Bundesliga fans who have a skeptical attitude towards the implementation of the [50+1] club club policy, believing that this set of policies makes the Bundesliga generally uncompetitive in Europe, especially unable to attract investment from super-rich people like Abu and Mansour, and relying more on its own operation and development, so that the Bundesliga has not been able to keep up with the pace of other European leagues in terms of strength.
The strength of the Premier League depends on money, except for Liverpool and Arsenal, which rely on the painstaking management of Yang Cheng and Arsene Wenger, which of Chelsea and Manchester United is not spending a lot of money on reinforcements? However, this situation is difficult to happen in the Bundesliga, because they are unable to come up with more money to bring in reinforcements due to business pressure.
In addition, as the majority of the club's income, in other leagues are high ticket prices, the Bundesliga's ticket prices are the cheapest, this season's average attendance in the Bundesliga is 41,904 people, while the Premier League, which is known as the best attendance, has only 35,592 people, La Liga is 28,478 people, Serie A is 25,304 people, and Ligue 1 is only 21,034 people.
From the point of view of attendance, the Bundesliga attendance rate is the best, which is also related to their low ticket prices, and the attendance growth trend in recent years is still improving, and the home revenue still maintains a steady growth, but compared with other leagues with many fewer people than them, the income is much less, and the reason is also the ticket price.
According to authoritative statistics, the Bundesliga will lose 3.5 billion euros less than the Premier League in terms of ticket revenue a year, which is still 6,000 more per game than the Premier League, which shows how big the gap is in terms of ticket prices.
This time, Bayern's fiasco has once again become a breakthrough for those football operators who want to reform, and they all feel that in the current football environment, it is necessary to reform and attract more capital, so that it is possible to attract higher-level players and eventually compete with other leagues.
But on the third day, an interview appeared in the kicker magazine, from the famous football journalist Gran Yock interviewed Yang Cheng, in this interview Yang Cheng spoke highly of Germany's league system, believing that healthy management may make Germany unable to compete with other top leagues on the European continent in a short period of time, but as long as time passes, the Bundesliga will return to the glory and peak of the end of the last century.
"I went back to the Fritzwalter Stadium in Kaiserslautern and sat in Kaid... The Yang Cheng Stand, which can accommodate a lot of fans, but every game is full, because the average ticket price is only 15 euros, which is exactly what the average working class can accept. ”…,
"I told Melzer that he did a great job because he attracted more fans with low ticket prices, brought their families and brought their children into the stadium, which is no longer about monetary income for a club, but about maintaining a loyalty that borders on faith."
"I believe there are a lot of professional players who like football because they are fans first and love the sport, so they can endure those boring and hard training, so I don't think it's a problem at all."
"The biggest impression I had about that game was that there were a lot of fans who told me, 'Hey, Caesar, I'm from Alsenbourne in Engkenbach, I come to Fritz and Walter every game, and I thought it was a rare thing, but somebody came from further afield, and I was weird.'
"Oh, and it turns out that German tickets can be used as free train tickets and subway tickets, which allows all fans who want to watch the game, as long as they are in time, to be able to watch the game at the Frischerwalt Stadium, every game!"
"The importance of the fans, this is the core value of this league, I think the Bundesliga has done a great job in this regard, we must not completely give up our long-term plan because of our short-term interests" because we should not forget, what caused the dark years around the four years of Z, don't forget the scars and forget the pain! ”
"Keep going, I believe the Bundesliga will be back to the top sooner or later!"
Yang Cheng's interview came at a good time, he has a pivotal position in German football, his support, and his remarks have been recognized by many German authoritative football figures, and fans have also agreed with his well-founded statement, after all, running a league is not based on short-term, but on long-term planning"
Of course, not everyone agrees with Yang Cheng's words, after all, some people want to gain more benefits by reforming the league, they are the unwavering reform party, but they will not blame Yang Cheng, because this is the most irrational way, and anyone who accuses will be bombarded by the fans.
However, it is indeed no wonder that so many people in the Bundesliga would choose to hope to be like the Premier League, because the Premier League is indeed very strong. After the first leg of the top 8 knockout rounds, Manchester United defeated Porto 1:0 away, Arsenal defeated Villarreal 3:0 at home, Liverpool drew 4:4 with Chelsea away, although Real Madrid beat Bayern by 5 goals at half-time, completely stealing their limelight, but it is not difficult to see from the schedule that the current situation in Europe, the Premier League can be said to be the strongest.
Real Madrid are one of the four teams in this season's Champions League semi-finals, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea and Liverpool as the winners set to once again occupy three of the top four.
It can be said that the current strength of the Premier League has affected the balance of the Champions League, even the economic crisis cannot slow down the Premier League teams, slow down the pace, and even everyone knows very well that the Premier League will continue to maintain this strength in the next few years, because they have abundant capital to back it up.
Of course, this also reflects the weakness of other leagues.
Even Arsenal, which has been retracted into the silver roots, can play so well in the Champions League, which can only say that the teams in other leagues have encountered problems and difficulties, and the only one that can compete with the Premier League is the La Liga duo.
The number one favorite to win the Champions League this season is undoubtedly Real Madrid, although the Premier League is strong, but this has also caused the competition for the Premier League title, and the excessive jī of the league will definitely have a certain impact on the Champions League. …,
Of course, such an impact will also affect Real Madrid, because Barcelona has bitten very tightly this season, and was eliminated in the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, and the league will be chased after it, and Real Madrid's league pressure is also very high, but whether it is from the perspective of strength or form, Real Madrid is the undisputed number one favorite to win the championship.
Following on from their impressive run over Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Real Madrid returned to La Liga with a three-day break to await a visit from Valladolid.
Barcelona beat Huelva 2-0 at home in Real Madrid's game a day earlier, which made them top of La Liga for the first time this season with a game in hand.
This also made Barcelona excited, and after playing Huelva, they all shouted happily to stay on the leader's throne, hoping that Real Madrid could capsize in the gutter at home and be upset by Valladolid.
But at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid blitzed Valladolid's goal in the first minute, and Villa's first shot opened the scoring for Real Madrid.
Then in the first half, Villa, who was surprisingly good in the game, kicked his head and feet, scored two goals in a row, scored a hat-trick, and also assisted Mesut Ozil to score a goal and enter the break 4:0.
In the second half, Yang Cheng saw that the victory was in hand, and made substitution adjustments, leaving part of his strength to deal with the away challenge to Bayern, so he made a series of substitutions, but the goals of Negredo and Guti still helped Real Madrid break Valladolid 6:0 and won another big victory.
After the game, Marca newspaper published a cartoon in response to the campaign of the newspapers in Catalonia, in which a guy wearing a Barcelona shirt wore a crown, but the crown was too big, and it went directly into his head, stuck his neck, and looked like he was going to suffocate.
The monologue next to it is: "Don't wear such a big hat!" The tone is indescribably sarcastic and sarcastic.
Barcelona fans, on the other hand, watched Real Madrid once again snatch the league leader by 2 points, but could not do anything, so they once again urged the club to ask Pep Guardiola to withstand the pressure and make Real Madrid make mistakes.
As Real Madrid's Champions League rivals, Bayern Munich returned to the league, 4; 0 slaughter of Frankfurt, Klinsmann made it clear in an interview with reporters that Bayern has been eliminated from the Champions League, but they will still do their best at home, and in the next game, Bayern will aim at the battle for the league title.
This season's Bundesliga championship situation is very strong, Bayern is the leader, but then Wolfsburg and Kaiserslautern are chasing very closely, as long as one is not careful, it may collapse at any time and lose the championship.
Yang Cheng also expected Klinsmann's thoughts, after all, the first leg of the Champions League has been defeated 0:5, no matter how hard you fight, it is impossible for the home team to complete the reversal and reversal, and continue to use all the main forces to fight with Real Madrid, it is a little unreasonable, they will not really use all their strength, to ensure that the league wins the championship is the most important task at the moment.
Therefore, in the list of players who went to Munich away, Yang Cheng arranged a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup to play.
The goalkeeper is Antonio, Adan and the back line are Marcelo, Kompany, Pepe and Miguel Bingrez, who have returned from injury, and in terms of double midfield, because Granero is injured, Yang Cheng uses Xavi Garcia to partner De La Red, Mata, Raul and Ozil occupy the front line, and Aguero plays forward alone.
With such a set of lineups, it is not difficult to see Yang Cheng's true idea Bayern Munich has also made adjustments to the lineup, and has not exhausted the main force, both teams are with such a heart, and played a game at the Allianz Arena in Munich. …,
And Yang Cheng is very satisfied with De La Red, who scored the equalizing goal in this game, this player has improved a lot like Granero, has a high moldability, and is a player worth cultivating, and Yang Cheng is also very optimistic about him.
Bayern Munich's side scored Thomas Ohler, this kid performed well, is a talent that can be created, active running, fast ball handling ability, excellent technique and more importantly, his football wisdom, which makes Yang Cheng very optimistic about the future of Thomas and Muller.
After this game, the top 4 list of the Champions League has also been released.
Manchester United eliminated Porto 3-2 on aggregate to reach the semi-finals, while Arsenal eliminated Villarreal 4-1 and Chelsea eliminated Liverpool 7-5 on aggregate.
As a result, the Champions League semi-finals were once again dominated by three Premier League teams, as expected by the outside world, and as in the previous season, Real Madrid once again became a lone seedling in the last four.
The difference is that last season's last-four opponents were Chelsea, and now they are against defending champions Manchester United, while Chelsea's semi-final opponents are Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.
Speaking of Manchester United, the competition with Liverpool and Chelsea in the Premier League this season is also very fierce, but all this is more dependent on Manchester United's attack, sitting on Tevez, Berbatov, Rooney, Ashleyyo, Giggs and Scholes, Manchester United's attacking power is second only to Liverpool in the Premier League.
But unlike Liverpool's solid defense, Manchester United's back line has always had a lot of problems, the old captain Gary, Neville has a lot of injuries, and the playing time is not fixed, Weiss, Brown, Evra and Ferdinand are the players in Manchester United's backline who are more reassuring to Ferguson, but 3 players in 4 positions, how can they cover it? This is the reason why Manchester United have fallen behind Liverpool in the league this season, but in the Champions League, Ferguson can always rely on his super tactical understanding to resolve his own shortcomings and play to his own advantages.
Therefore, the two-legged match with Manchester United will be more of a battle at the manager level, and in the two-legged key knockout round, Real Madrid will also usher in a derby of the century with Barcelona, according to the current situation, this game is bound to affect the trend of La Liga this season.
With three decisive games in one week, such a devilish schedule would be a big test for Real Madrid.
On the contrary, it is Chelsea and Arsenal, the Blues have enough quality to crush the favourite, this London German is no surprise, the final winner will be Chelsea, because Arsenal are a little inferior to Chelsea in terms of overall strength.
Returning to La Liga from Munich, Real Madrid went non-stop to challenge Huelva away.
At the Colombino Stadium, Real Madrid continued to maintain their lead over Barcelona with a brace from Villa and goals from Ronaldo and Kaka.
In another game at the same time, Barcelona challenged Getafe away, although with Messi's key goal, Barcelona defeated Getafe 1:0 away, but Barcelona was very embarrassed by Getafe throughout the game, this La Liga powerhouse with the title of Real Madrid's second team issued a slogan before the game to help Real Madrid snipe Barcelona, and they also performed well in the game, although they failed to complete the sniping, but also made Barcelona very embarrassed.
After the 31st round, Real Madrid still couldn't get a rest, because the first round of matches ushered in midweek.
This time, Real Madrid defeated the city team Getafe 3:1 at home with Aguero's brace and Granero's goal at home, and it was Soldado who scored a goal for Getafe, but he did not celebrate after scoring Real Madrid's goal, and also after the game, he wished Yang Cheng and the Real Madrid players a successful victory. …,
Unlike Real Madrid's hard-fought win over Getafe, Barcelona beat Sevilla 4-0 at the Camp Nou thanks to goals from Andres Iniesta, Messi, Xavi and Thierry Henry, proving that after losing the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, Barcelona will become even more invincible. Three days later, in the 33rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Sevilla away, Renato's goal in the 6th minute completely woke up the tired Real Madrid, followed by Raul, who played in the front midfield, showed the key sit of the team's captain, and he used a shocking hat trick to help Real Madrid complete the 3:1 reversal.
At the critical moment, Raul's role was still vividly reflected, especially the hard work of him and several Real Madrid academy players in the game, which completely beat Sevilla's arrogance back.
Although Sevilla pulled another goal back, in the last moment, Miguel Bingrez's goal helped Real Madrid bring back a thrilling 4-2 victory from the road.
Real Madrid played thrillingly, and Barcelona was not easy either.
Messi's goal gave Barcelona the lead at Valencia's Mestalla, but goals from Hernandez and Nicolas Maduro helped the Bats to come back from behind before Thierry Henry's goal equalised for Barca.
In the crucial final moments, Xavi assisted Andres Iniesta's goal, and in the first minute, helped Barcelona beat Valencia and continued to maintain the pressure on Real Madrid.
As a result, after the 33 rounds of La Liga, in only 2 points advantage, La Liga ushered in the first round of the blockbuster game Century Derby, but before and after the derby, Real Madrid also had to challenge Manchester United, the defending champion of the Champions League, the situation is not optimistic, and even some media have offered advice, feeling that Yang Cheng should give up one event and concentrate on another event, and strive to win the championship!
Otherwise, it is very likely that you will end up with nothing! )
