Hit April 1, 2007 at 20:25 p.m., Celta, Stadio de Barraídos

The game had been played for 60 minutes, but Real Madrid was still down 0-1, and although the Galacticos dominated the field, they were never able to break through Celta's goal.

Since many players have played the whole game in the national team, Yang Cheng has made an appropriate rotation for this game, Casillas is the main goalkeeper, the back line is Miguel = Torres, Thiago = Silva, Elguera and Salgado, the two backs are De La Red and Xavi = Garcia, Marcelo, Raul and Mata play forward, and Aguero rushes forward.

Although there are many substitutes in this lineup, it is actually not weak in combat, but it seems a little loose, and after the opening game, it occupied the initiative of the game, launched a fierce impact on Celta's position, but failed to create an effective shooting opportunity, but was counterattacked by Celta, broke through the defense from the left side, and took the lead.

Miguel = Torres is seen as another discovery in Real Madrid's back line this season, and many people see him as Arbeloa, who is slightly stronger in attack and slightly faster, but in fact, in this game, he exposed his biggest problem, which is not stable defensively.

In the face of the opponent's counterattack on the right side, Miguel = Torres was played by a back-heel knock by Nene who directly assisted his teammates to score, and then Miguel = Torres was also broken by the opponent in one-on-one situations many times.

"Now Celta's counterattack hardly needs to be considered, just pulling Real Madrid's left side to play, Nene almost teases Miguel = Torres like a stake, and the young Real Madrid youngster has completely exposed his lack of one-on-one defensive ability."

"Of course, it is undeniable that this is also related to Real Madrid's midfield failure to give enough protection to the backline in this game, De La Reed is keen to insert attack, more like a Gerrard-style player, Xavi = Garcia has excellent technical skills, strong organizational skills, and good defensive ability, but he is tall, slow and lacks mobility, which allows him to stand in the middle, but it is difficult to rush to the side in time."

"But Real Madrid's biggest problem is still attack, although Celta is the relegation favorite, but this team is not weak, and once they meet a giant team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, they will always gather heavy troops in the midfield, encircle the midfield, plus their own skills are not bad, the counterattack is very threatening."

The long pass of "Veronso" Alonso and David Beckham solved the problem, but now these two players are not on the pitch, which makes Real Madrid's attack too obsessed with the middle, which seems to have an advantage, but in fact it is difficult to form a threat.

"Yang Cheng should make adjustments as soon as possible, after all, Real Madrid still has a good passer like Guti on the bench, and he should be replaced as soon as possible, give full play to Guti's passing characteristics, and form a threat attack as soon as possible."

But Yang Cheng didn't seem to understand the on-site commentator's analysis at all, and he still didn't move, which couldn't help but make the Real Madrid fans who followed the team to the away stadium, as well as all the Real Madrid fans sitting in front of the TV, feel anxious.

Time was passing quickly, and Yang Cheng finally reacted in the 65th minute.

This time he replaced Xavi = Garcia with Guti and Mata with Granero, making two substitutions in one go.

"Get the ball through the midfield as fast as you can and get it to Guti's feet!"

This is the latest requirement given to the team by Yang Cheng after the adjustment, and after the adjustment, Granero, De La Reed and Marcelo play three midfielders, but Marcelo and Granero can be pulled to the side at any time according to the situation on the court to participate in the attack, playing width for the team, while De La Reid's responsibility is more to defend and protect. …,

Raul was pushed up front to partner Sergio Aguero, with the two players tasked with finding opportunities up front, with Guti tasked with feeding them in the back.

The reason why Yang Cheng wants to go to Guti at this time is to use the opponent to entangle with Real Madrid for 65 minutes, and his physical strength has been almost exhausted, in this case, anyone's concentration will decline, and his will will be slack, and this is precisely Guti's chance.

Yang Cheng had already bet on the victory or defeat of this game in the last half an hour, so in order to make this group of players have better physical fitness to cope with this game, during his national team competition, all the players who did not participate in the national team competition were given 6 days off, just to give them enough time to rest.

When Penang, these 6 days are just no training, but the players must be self-disciplined and not affect their own form.

And Yang Cheng's bet is on the fighting spirit of this group of substitutes and young players, as well as the role of veterans such as Guti and Raul.

I really have to admire Guti, as soon as he got on the field, the Golden Wolf received a cross knock after Marcelo advanced with the ball on the left side, directly faced Celta's defense, and in the case of the opponent's back waist was not in time, a direct pass sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Raul cut in and fired a left-footed volley that was saved by the goalkeeper.

But just two minutes later, Guti made another precise through ball that penetrated Celta's backline and sent the ball to the feet of the offside Aguero, forming a one-on-one knife, but the linesman raised the flag for offside.

In fact, Aguero was indeed offside, and the Argentine kid was too anxious.

Maybe it was because after seeing Guti play, Real Madrid played a threat one after another, and Celta began to consciously defend against Guti, and they continued to surround Guti in the midfield, so it can often be seen that as long as Guti gets the ball, there must be two or three defenders chasing around

However, they still underestimated the ingenuity of the golden wolf.

It was as if this time, Guti moved to the right side of the midfield to get the ball with his back, and was blocked by Celta Celta's rushing Illine and Ovene, and Gustavo = Lopes also leaned in, beware of Guti.

After winning the ball, the Golden Wolves dodged the physical confrontation that they were not good at, and did not turn, but knocked the ball back to Granero, who saw Aguero retreat and responded with a kick to the feet of Aguero.

The Argentine teenager turned sideways and dribbled the ball to the left, Marcelo quickly pressed up Aguero took advantage of Celta's defense line just now, and the left side of the space was too large, straight behind Angel and Contreras, Marcelo used his speed to rush past Angel to catch up with the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and then crossed with a kick.

Raul, who had been preparing to receive Guti on the right side, had moved over as early as when Aguero dribbled to the left, and when he saw Marcelo's gesture before passing, he had a premonition that he was going to pass forward, so he did not stay in the penalty area, but quickly ran forward to meet the incoming ball, jumped high in front of the point, and shook his head to attack the goal.

“GOAL11111111LL11！！！！！”

"Raul had a beautiful lion shake his head, Real Madrid finally equalized in the 76th minute, this is a very beautiful transfer, Real Madrid pulled and created a hole in the Celta defence, and Marcelo inserted it to complete the assist, Raul's header is also very beautiful!"

'Raul has shown a key role as a spiritual leader in key moments, and he is always able to show his quality in key moments and help the team ・・・・・・

When the on-site commentator was amazed, he saw that after Raul landed, he was not excited about the goal, but after hearing the referee's effective whistle for the goal, he rushed into the goal as soon as possible, and directly took out the ball that he had just scored. I saw Raul running towards the midfield with the ball, waving to the Real Madrid fans in the stands all the way, hoping that they would have more cheers and applause, and at the same time he was shouting at his teammates.

"Quick! Fast! Fast!!! Raul shouted at his teammates that he could be heard on live TV, "We don't want a draw, we want a win, we want a win!! ”

I saw the captain of Real Madrid come to the center circle, directly threw the ball to the opponent's striker Bayano, turned back to the outside of the center circle and beckoned his teammates to come quickly, and at the same time asked the referee to restart the game as soon as possible.

As if infected by Raul, Real Madrid launched a round of indiscriminate bombardment of Celta's goal, Guti's play kept creating opportunities for his teammates in front of him, cutting through Celta's defense, and with it, it also completely revitalized Real Madrid's midfield, Granero, Marcelo, and even De La Red, were completely activated.

Especially under the encouragement of Raul, Real Madrid looked high-spirited, and even the players in the back line actively pressed to participate in the attack, and Celta was forced to shrink the defense across the board.

In the 85th minute, after Granero won the ball on the right side, he quickly made a quick two-to-one cooperation with Guti in the middle, tore through Celta's defense, and crossed low to the front of the penalty area, Raul inserted a right-footed shot, goalkeeper Pinto saved the ball, but the unguarded Aguero successfully picked up the leak and pushed the empty goal in front of the goal, 1:2

After completing a comeback, Real Madrid looked more combative, frequently creating danger in front of Celta's goal, but in the end they could not score again, and could only end up with 21 away games against Celta.

"It was a very tough game!"

In the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng looked happy that his team had completed at least one comeback.

'I know Barcelona had a tough game and their lead is still nine points, but I don't care how they play, I just care about ourselves because I and all our players know that if we are going to make a big comeback against Barcelona, we have to win all the remaining games.

"Only then will we be able to reverse Barcelona!"

Guan A reporter mentioned the difference in strength between Celta and Deportivo La Coruna, but Yang Cheng shook his head and denied it.

'It's a lie to say how big the gap is, Deportivo have been terrible this season, Celta are relegation teams, but often relegation teams are more difficult to play because they will risk everything to fight you, they will do everything to stop you from scoring.

In fact, Barcelona's game was also 21, they scored at the beginning, but they were equalized immediately, and they couldn't find a way for a long time, and finally it was Samuel Eto'o's goal that saved Barcelona, but I heard that this guy bombarded Rijkaard after the game, saying that if he wasn't a substitute, the game wouldn't have been so hard or something.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, Real Madrid's possession rate in this game was high, but it was behind Celta for more than an hour, does this mean that Real Madrid's overall attack has a problem?" A reporter asked, standing up with bad intentions.

Yang Cheng shook his head, his slightly smiling expression had become his signature gesture when facing the media.

'We had a high percentage of possession because our opponents gave up possession, they were more defensive and they were looking for solidity in the midfield, so they made 38 successful tackles in the game and we only had 18, which was twice as much, but we had a pass success rate of 8,698 and they were 75 per cent, and we had 17 shots.

'I don't think it's our attacking problems, it's just that the opponent's defense and game strategy are too negative. "But anyway, I'm glad we won, I think our players have started to learn how to win in difficult situations, which is very important for a team, and I'm happy that we played with the belief that we have to win. ”

When asked by a reporter about what Real Madrid relied on to defeat Celta in Barraidos, Yang Cheng shook his head.

'It's hard to explain because only I, as a manager, and as a part of the team, can see the changes in our team, a continuous improvement, and I believe that we have come out of the quagmire that we have been criticised and we are starting to get on the road.

"I hope that from now on, all our players should learn and maintain the belief that you have to get three points every game, which is a quality that all top teams have to have."

As for the team's captain Raul and vice-captain Guti, Yang Cheng spoke highly of them, believing that they are the team's treasures.

"There is a kind of player that when you have him, you feel dispensable, as if you can find someone to replace you anytime and anywhere, but in fact, when you lose him, you will find out that you have lost not just one player, but more!"

"There is no doubt that for Real Madrid, Raul, Guti, Casillas and others are such players!"

And in the end, Yang Cheng also appealed to the team again, he said, as long as Real Madrid wins all the remaining games, Barcelona will definitely be finished, and the championship must belong to Real Madrid!

In unison with the manager, many Real Madrid players, including captain Raul, Guti, Ramos, Villa and other players, were interviewed by Marca and Ace and other media close to Real Madrid, confidently saying that Real Madrid will win all the remaining games.

As if to confirm Yang Cheng's confidence, or to give Real Madrid confidence, in the 29th round of La Liga, Barcelona's away game against Zaragoza was played the day before Real Madrid faced Osasuna.

Before the game, Rijkaard repeatedly said that Barcelona would win the game and give all the pressure back to Real Madrid, while Cruyff also said in his column that he was optimistic about Barcelona winning the title and beating the pair

But Diego = Milito's goal in the 57th minute completely blocked the mouths of all Barcelona people, Zaragoza's unexpected home upset beat Barcelona, Diego = Milito, the notorious, but goal-efficient Argentine striker was also included in the list of reinforcements for the new season by Barcelona management after this game.

Losing the three points that had been a sure victory, everyone immediately turned their eyes to the Bernabeu Stadium the next day.

Villa performed well in the first leg against Osasuna, and when he returned to his home turf, he continued to be in good form, first in the 24th minute, setting up Raul's goal, then David Beckham and David = Silva also scored, and Villa in the 87th minute, assisted by Guti Miao's pass, and then the next goal.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 4-0 at the Bernabeu Stadium.

At the end of the game, the entire Bernabeu stadium burst into applause, as Real Madrid, after a week's rest, showed unprecedented good form, the team played a huge control, and Osasuna failed to pose an effective threat to Real Madrid throughout the game.

But more importantly, after this game, the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona has been reduced to six points.

From 14 points to 12 points, from 12 points to 9 points, and now it has chased 6 points, and in a short period of time, Real Madrid has won 5 consecutive victories, and at the same time, it has also shortened the gap between itself and Barcelona by 8

This can't help but amaze everyone, because with La Liga still left, 6 points is equivalent to restoring the suspense of the league championship, and everyone is asking, what happened to Barcelona recently? ..., in this case, all Real Madrid fans will not care that Real Madrid drew 1:1 at home to Chelsea in the two legs of the Champions League quarter-finals, and then lost 1-2 away to Chelsea, and was finally eliminated by Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals with an aggregate score of 32.

In fact, Real Madrid does have a big gap with Chelsea in terms of strength, especially for the current Real Madrid, the league is undoubtedly more realistic and important than the Champions League.

Yang Cheng even made a breaking vow at a press conference at Stamford Bridge after the midweek defeat to Chelsea: "We have no other way out, we have been eliminated in the Copa del Rey and then the Champions League, and we have only one way to go." ”

"Reverse Barcelona, win the La Liga title, defend the pride and glory of our Real Madrid, otherwise, it will be a failure!"

Real Madrid players have also generally given a positive response to this, Raul said in an interview that Real Madrid will win the La Liga title.

Cannavaro also said, "This season's Real Madrid is the strongest Real Madrid I have seen in recent years, and we will definitely be able to beat Barcelona and complete an epic comeback to win the La Liga title!" ”

With such a belief, Real Madrid defeated Racing Santander in an away game a day earlier than Barcelona, and although the game was equalized, Real Madrid soon won three cities in a row, making the game completely out of suspense.

At the Camp Nou, Barcelona relied on Mallorca central defender Navarro's own goal in the 89th minute, which defeated Mallorca thrillingly and got three points.

But compared with Real Madrid, who swallowed mountains and rivers and vowed to reverse Barcelona, Barcelona is undoubtedly inferior in momentum, while Real Madrid is full of morale.

In the 31st round of the league, Real Madrid welcomed Valencia at home, and Barcelona challenged Villarreal away, which was hailed as the round of matches that are most likely to affect the situation of the La Liga champions. Clear
