Although before the game, Yang Cheng still stubbornly said that Real Madrid has the ability to beat Chelsea away and complete the reversal; Although Real Madrid fans have repeatedly expressed their belief that the team will be able to win away; Although Real Madrid's players have also kept saying that the loss of Kaka and Xavi? Alonso, the team can beat Chelsea as well, although ......

But when Real Madrid rushed to London with a 5-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao, there was still an atmosphere of pessimism throughout Europe, and even the reports and previews of Marca and As, seemed to have a little bit of sadness, because everyone knew that Real Madrid was actually difficult to win away.

Captain Raul vowed in an interview, "Since everyone says that 100% Real Madrid can't beat Chelsea, then we will give 150%, or even 200%, we will fight for our lives at Stamford Bridge, and we will use all means to take away a win away from home!" ”

The game went on as always, replacing Kaka and Xavi? Alonso's Raul and Granero were both very hardworking, fully engaged and giving their all from the first minute, while Real Madrid were using their passes and runs to tug and chisel Chelsea's defence.

Real Madrid continued to dominate the game and control the game, just like the first leg, ferociously launching a wheel battle attack, launching wave after wave of attacks, but Chelsea also cast a set of iron walls, which made Chelsea's goal only under pressure, not dangerous.

Mascherano, who was hailed as Real Madrid's best top midfielder since Claude Makelele, covered his defence to the edge of the Chelsea penalty area in this game, and he even hit a very high-quality long-range shot in the game, but Cech did well to keep the Argentine midfielder's long-range shot out of the net.

Raul is not only the captain of the team, not only a midfielder and attacker, but also a defender, he runs almost everywhere, as if he has inexhaustible physical strength, but in fact, everyone can see that he is gritting his teeth and persevering.

And Ramos, and Arbeloa, and Villa, and David? Silva, and Mata, and Beckham, and Thiago? Silva, and Pepe, and Casillas......

The game is played to the end, and it is no longer just a confrontation of skills and tactics, but also a contest of blood and confidence between the two sides, because when each other has no secrets to speak of, and the players' physical strength has been seriously depleted, any skills and tactics have lost their use.

Guti came on and he got rid of his habit of running and started to run like Raul, running everywhere, looking for opportunities, sending the ball into the Chelsea box again and again, but it was always defused again and again, because he would find that there were people everywhere.

"Originally, everyone thought that in the second leg, Chelsea played at home and won an ideal 0-0 away, they should press out and attack, and the field should be more open, but in the end we found out that it was all wrong, Mourinho's team did not have the slightest idea of playing."

"It seems that Mourinho knows very well that Chelsea can't compare to Real Madrid in attack, so he simply plays defense, and now it's also dangerous for Real Madrid, because although they control the initiative, Chelsea's third line retreats, the position and formation are very compact, and Real Madrid can't create a threat although they put pressure on them."

"If we can't find a way to break the situation on the pitch as soon as possible, if we continue like this, it will be more and more unfavorable for Real Madrid."

In the face of the menacing Real Madrid, Mourinho chose to back down, he did not hesitate to continue to insist on away tactics at his home stadium, his tactics look like 433, but in fact it can also be said to be 460, or even 550, because Torres is rarely at the front. ..., Yang Cheng knows very well that Chelsea is waiting for an opportunity to play a defensive counterattack, and this opportunity will appear as Real Madrid's physical consumption becomes more and more serious!

He has no choice but to continue to attack like this, because once he retracts, once the team's breath stops, then Real Madrid will be finished!

If you fight, you still have a chance to win, if you don't fight, you can only lose!

Good luck can't always be with you, and strength may not always bring a victory, which is the personal experience of Yang Cheng, who has rich coaching experience, so he can accept all this.

It's just that he is a little helpless in his heart, because a team with Torres, Malouda, Joe? Cole, Frank Lampard, Ashley? Chelsea, who has outstanding stars such as Karl, can not be said to be sad to play such negative football tactics, but only helpless. After all, the Champions League is a very realistic world, winning and losing, black cats and white cats, those who can catch mice are good cats, as long as they can win, no matter what tactics are used, they are all good tactics and worthy of respect!

After 90 minutes, it was still 0:0 and entered overtime.

But at this time, the physical strength of the Real Madrid players who took the initiative to attack has been exhausted to the limit, although the players gritted their teeth one by one, but in the end, mistakes will still appear!

Thiago? Silva could feel his legs shivering from fatigue!

Sweat dripped from the forehead to the corners of the eyebrows to the cheeks to the chin, and dripped onto the jersey, where it was already soaked, pressed against the chest, and a little heavy!

If it was in normal times, he didn't care about such a weight, but at this moment, he felt that this jersey was so heavy that he couldn't bear it.

My throat was burning, my mouth was so dry that it seemed to be cracked, and I wanted to swallow a mouthful of saliva, but I found that there was only a little sticky liquid left in my mouth, and I couldn't swallow it, and I wanted to wipe my dry lips with my tongue, but I found that my tongue was almost as dry as my lips.

He didn't dare to look up at the time, because he was worried that he would have a relaxed state of mind after seeing the time.

The psychiatrist in the team once told him that everyone will have that kind of unconscious desire to relax, even if you work hard for 89 minutes, even if you are desperately instilling a state of mind in your brain after watching the time, but your tired body will still want to be lazy.

This is a conditioned reflex, and people can't control it at all!

So, the best thing to do is not to look, just listen, listen to the whistle, listen to the shouts of your teammates.

After all, after 90 minutes of play plus extra time, Real Madrid's players are too much to bear, and Chelsea are too, and they can't run anymore.

However, as Real Madrid's pressure on Chelsea has weakened, the Blues are starting to show some signs of rebound, but not noticeable.

Thiago? Silva's duty for this game was to watch Torres, and he did a good job, and several counter-attacks were defeated by Thiago? Silva was cut off and failed to pose a threat, and while defending Torres, Thiago? Silva is also actively involved in defending and attacking midfield, which makes him have a lot of range of motion and a lot of physical exertion.

Head coach Yang Cheng said before the game that this game is no longer a confrontation of skills and tactics, nor is it a confrontation of team strength, but an all-round competition, and the winner belongs to the side with the fewest mistakes.

Chelsea's mentality is clearly the same, so they are stuck in the back of the net and in the box, while Real Madrid have not made any mistakes so far and continue to patiently look for opportunities.

Sometimes, however, the slightest mistake can change the situation of the game.

Chelsea launched a counter-attack, just like the previous one, and the ball was pushed into Real Madrid's half. Silva saw Torres pull out of the box to receive the throw-in, and immediately stepped out to meet the Spaniard. …,

Even if he only moved a few steps, he could feel the muscles in his legs throbbing and trembling, almost unable to stand the force and go limp, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, because he knew that his teammates were also holding on, and after 119 minutes of play, everyone had reached the limit.

Can't let Torres turn, this is the task assigned by Yang Cheng, the Spanish striker has a poor ability to hold the ball with his back, but once he turns around and hits the ball head-on, the threat is very different, so Thiago? Silva held Torres on top of him and watched as the Spaniard turned around and made a right-footed block.

Torres stumbled, the man passed, but the ball stayed. The referee didn't blow the whistle, it was a very nice defence, Thiago? Silva felt relieved, and he subconsciously thought that he was going to fight back against the other party's counterattack.

However, when he was just about to take the ball out, suddenly a figure jumped out and stabbed the ball at his feet, directly stabbing his ball, which made him startled, almost instinctively, subconsciously turned around, at this time, he even wanted to reach out and pull down the other party.

Anyway, it is the front of the penalty area, and the most that is pulled is to give a red card, which is better than the opponent facing the goal.

It's too late!

Frank Lampard had just reached into the box after breaking the ball and immediately got up to hit a rolling volley, and Casillas was a little unresponsive because he didn't think of Thiago? Silva will be cut off the ball and watch the ball go into the net, 1:0!

A goal worth 10,000 dollars was born!

Tragically, the godless Thiago? Silva was the green leaf of Frank Lampard, who was cheering and celebrating like crazy, and his trembling legs finally couldn't support his body and he collapsed on the pitch.

I wanted to cry, but I didn't have tears!

It's over!

All the Real Madrid players sat on the grass at Stamford Bridge, and everyone couldn't bear to blame Thiago? Silva, because it was the only obvious mistake of the Brazilian so far in the whole game, a mistake in the 119th minute, but the opponent seized the opportunity and scored!

The Brazilian knelt on the grass, holding his head as if he was going to get in, but he didn't sob, just silently, with his head on the grass, in a very awkward position, as if punishing himself.

Raul walked on the pitch like a walking corpse, his hands on his waist, he was not reconciled, but he also knew that his teammates had done their best.

Football is like that, there is no permanent winner, and no one is guaranteed to win!

It's always harder to attack than to defend, which is why there are so few goals in football!

Compared to a year ago, this time there are no Real Madrid players crying because they can't bear the defeat, they just sit silently, slowly, they will accept this defeat, and when the time comes, they will be stronger than now.

As Yang Cheng said, losing means that our skills are not as good as others, so it is not shameful to lose, but it is shameful that we don't know why we lost, and we never thought about winning!

A team that wants to win meets a team that doesn't want to lose, and that's always the most unanswered puzzle in the world.

Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, he commanded the game like this from beginning to end, with a serious face, silently looking at the players on the field, Real Madrid sitting on the ground became the background of Chelsea celebrating wildly, what an ironic picture, but he forced himself to remember!

Remember, you will become more motivated!

"I said, you don't have a chance!" Jose Mourinho certainly wouldn't miss this great opportunity to hit his opponent, so he walked over as soon as the match was over. ..., Yang Cheng snorted, a little reluctantly, with a little bitterness, "We will take revenge!" "You said the same last year!" Mourinho laughed.

Yang Cheng laughed this time, he knew that Mourinho was deliberately trying to provoke himself, if he was angry, he would just fulfill his wish, "Don't worry, a semi-final won't kill me, let's see!" ”

Mourinho shrugged, "Okay! Then he walked over and celebrated with the players.

His Chelsea finally reached the final, and it was really not easy, after so many years!

This world is very realistic, no one will sympathize with the weak and pity the loser, they will only exalt the winner and trample the loser to death!

'I have to bless Chelsea, they were very tenacious, they worked very hard, they taught us a vivid lesson and made us realise our shortcomings, I don't think there is any problem with their win!'

In the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng generously expressed his affirmation of Chelsea's victory in an interview with reporters.

'Everybody has their own pursuits, what football is all about, everybody has their own different opinions, it doesn't have to be attacking football to win, that's the victory of football, I think the development of football is more about a hundred flowers, to maintain diversity, so I am also sure that Chelsea's victory is a victory of football.'

'I wouldn't say we didn't play well, on the contrary, I think my players played really well in both legs, especially Thiago? Silva, he's the most solid player in our backline and I'm sure he'll be more mature and consistent after tonight's game. ”

"What you want to get, then go for it, I think this is the eternal law on the football field, we don't just want results, we want more, so we have to pay more, but, even in the process, we have setbacks, we have failed, but we will still grit our teeth and move on!"

"I firmly believe that perseverance and dedication will definitely pay off!"

Yang Cheng's words received unanimous applause from the reporters at the scene, and even Mourinho couldn't help but nod.

Although the two have different coaching philosophies, this does not prevent Mourinho from having complex emotions towards Yang Cheng, who is both a mentor and a friend and a life-and-death enemy.

"Mr. Yang Cheng, everyone is sorry that Real Madrid was eliminated by Chelsea in such a way, what do you think?"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "I don't think there's anything to regret, we lost because our skills are not as good as others, only by admitting this, we won't keep losing, losing is losing, there is no need to make excuses!" ”

"But 0:0 in the first leg, and Xavi? The injuries to Alonso and Kaka have caused real Madrid a lot of difficulties, don't you think this is a very important reason for Real Madrid's away defeat? ”

"A little!" Yang Cheng nodded, "But Raul and Granero also performed very well, we still firmly controlled the situation of the game, I can only say that the biggest reason for us to lose this game is that our strength is not strong enough!" ”

'But I don't think it's surprising that we have a very low average age, we have a lot of young players and we have a lot of shortcomings, so I firmly believe that as the players grow and mature, we will go from strength to strength.

Immediately, a reporter stood up and asked with a smile: "Mr. Yang Cheng, last year Real Madrid stopped in the top 8, you said that the team is young and inexperienced, and Real Madrid stopped in the top 4 this season, you also said the same, what about next year?" ”

Yang Cheng recognized that this was a media reporter close to Barcelona, and also smiled slightly, "You also said, the top 16 last year, the top 8 last year, and the top 4 this year, according to the development trend of two consecutive years, next year's Real Madrid will reach the final, and we will win the Champions League next year!" The reporters below were in an uproar, because so far no manager has dared to shout so boldly when he will win the Champions League, and he dares to shout such a slogan one season in advance, I am afraid that only Yang Cheng is the only one who dares to shout such a slogan.

But Yang Cheng is not talking casually, but considering the current situation of the team, he must set higher goals for the team, and at the same time give the players more motivation to play, so that they know what they want to fight for, and give them hope and expectation.

It's a bit early to shout such a slogan, but it can minimize the impact of losing the Champions League semi-finals and allow the players to better devote themselves to the remaining games.

However, Yang Cheng can also foresee that if he stops at the semi-finals, the next media will definitely hype up Real Madrid's defeat, and this group of guys who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic will not easily let go of such hype material as Real Madrid, so he shouts such a slogan, and he can also transfer the media elsewhere to the greatest extent, instead of blindly pursuing the responsibility for the loss of the game, bringing unnecessary pressure to the players.

After all, Real Madrid still has a few league rounds to go, as well as a derby of the century against Barcelona, which is a game that Yang Cheng and all Real Madrid players and fans are not willing to lose.

The best thing is to vent the frustration in the Champions League on Barcelona!
