Chapter 230 The Fateful Showdown

Real Madrid ushered in the Spaniard at home before the last place in the Champions League quarter-finals came out.

La Liga has reached the final juncture. Although Real Madrid is at the top of the standings, they still cannot be careless.Otherwise, last season's Barcelona is a lesson from the past.

At this juncture, Schuster didn't want to play any more rotations. All the main players played, and it was necessary to establish the team's unshakable advantage in the league before the Champions League knockout rounds resumed.

But probably due to the bloody battle with Rome, the physical strength has not yet recovered. Real Madrid, who are playing at home, were actually scored first by the Spaniard.Real Madrid's defensive loopholes in set kicks were once again exposed, and the Spaniard who scored the goal unsurprisingly put up an iron bucket formation.

Every year, Real Madrid faces this kind of defense for nearly half of the games, so they are very familiar with pressing up and bombarding the tortoise with its head shrunk.In the last few rounds of the league, Real Madrid's state has come very slowly, and they only played at their own level after being scored by their opponents.

This game was no exception, although this situation gave Schuster a headache, because every time he didn't know when he was really dragged to death by the opponent's counterattack.

Fortunately, the players of Real Madrid made a tenacious reversal again in this game. After entering the second half, Guti came on and replaced Robben.Then Real Madrid set off the prelude to the counterattack. After playing against Spalletti, Schuster's coaching level has faintly risen to a higher level.The impromptu command that was criticized in the early stage of the season has recently turned decay into magic.It seems that only by being hit by others can we continue to improve. Schuster, who was defeated tactically by Spalletti, also started to upgrade because of defeating his opponent.

After Guti came on the field, he and Gago sparked a spark of genius in the midfield. First, the two hit the wall and tore apart the Spaniard's defense. Finally, Gago assisted Higuain to score the equalizing goal.Later, the transposition of the two caused the opponent's defense to make mistakes. After receiving Guti's through pass, Raul entered the penalty area and was placed by the opponent's defender Jarke.

The referee came over and decisively awarded a penalty kick. The Spaniard players were unconvinced and surrounded the referee, but the referee gave two yellow cards because of this, and the final penalty remained unchanged.

Raul faced Kameni overnight in front of the goal and scored his No.13 goals in the league, which was also his 2 goals in the league.

With this monumental goal, Real Madrid continued to maintain their home season unbeaten record.At the same time, it also opened up a 2-point gap with No.[-] Barcelona in the league.

The focus of this round is also the last opening game. It is a duel between Barcelona, ​​which is second in the league, and Villarreal, who is third. In the end, Pellegrini's team used a clean 2: 1 gave Barcelona a two-game losing streak in the league.He also completed the great cause of double-killing Barcelona this season. For a while, Pellegrini became a very popular figure in the hearts of Real Madrid fans.

This season, Villarreal lost twice to Real Madrid, but double-killed Barcelona. The total of these four games is exactly [-] points.Many Real Madrid fans laughed and said that the team should be grateful to Pellegrini for being able to lead Barcelona by [-] points.

Schuster certainly doesn't like to hear this point of view, but the head coach of Real Madrid has no time to care about it.Because after beating the Spaniard, he immediately left for Nyon, Switzerland to participate in the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which was also the last draw.

After the quarter-finals of the Champions League came out, many prophets speculated that UEFA, no, to be precise, it should be Platini's mind, and ranked the most likely matchup.

First of all, UEFA is definitely going to suppress the Premier League this time, because the Premier League teams have been too strong in the Champions League recently this year.Last year, three of the top four were Premier League teams, and this year they accounted for half of the top eight.And it looks likely to turn the final into a Premier League civil war.

Since it is the last draw, there are no protective measures, and the same country and the same group will not avoid it.Some psychologically dark media even think that Platini is likely to let the top four of the Premier League fight each other directly, and let them kill both sides first.However, as long as Platini does not go crazy, this kind of situation will basically not happen. At most, two Premier League teams will fight each other, and then let another giant to attack other Premier League teams.

And the strength of this sniper can't be low. When facing each other in the top [-], Platini asked the Milan duo of Serie A to snipe Liverpool and Arsenal.As a result, both the Milan duo knelt down in the top [-], resulting in no Serie A team in this year's Champions League quarterfinals, which made all the Serie A media grit their teeth with hatred.

Platini first gave a short speech to these elite coaches in world football with a smile, and then asked Zidane, the award presenter, to draw lots.Although Qi Zu has not played football for two years, his influence in football is still huge enough to cause a sensation on the scene.

"royal house Madrid!"

No one thought that the French superstar, one of the representatives of Real Madrid, was the first to draw out his old club.When Schuster heard Zidane say the name of his team, he clearly saw a wry smile flashing in his eyes.

"a?"

This year's Blancos are already invincible in La Liga, and they are not weak in the Champions League. The elimination of Roma in two rounds shows the sharpness of Real Madrid's attack.Since UEFA asked Zidane to draw his club out, it will definitely not arrange a weightless opponent. The most likely one is the top four of the Premier League. I just don’t know which team Platini arranged. Let Real Madrid snipe.

After Real Madrid was drawn, the people at the scene began to whisper, talking about the possible candidates in their minds.Unbelievably, they all thought of a team in their hearts, the Premier League team that had countless grievances and grievances with Real Madrid.Involuntarily, most of the people looked at an old man with white hair and chewing gum in the field.

"Manchester United!"

After Ferguson heard the name of his team, the frequency of chewing in his mouth paused for a moment, and then returned to the original, the expression on his face did not change at all.

Schuster let go of his clenched hands. He was nervous when he didn't know, but he was relieved when he heard the opponent's name.The German turned his head and glanced at the Red Devil godfather. Their eyes met, and there was a smile on the corners of their mouths, and there was no trace of anger.

After Real Madrid and Manchester United were drawn out, the entire venue exploded, although Schuster and Ferguson were very calm.But it doesn't mean that other people also have such self-cultivation skills. Although everyone knows UEFA's piss, the fact that Real Madrid and Manchester United were really drawn together still surprised everyone.

The confrontation between the giants of La Liga and the overlord of the Premier League made the blood of the reporters start to boil.The situation of the two teams is similar. After several years of dormancy, they both completed the reorganization of the team through blood changes, and both reached their peak this year.Manchester United is now also overwhelming the Premier League standings. Although it is not as domineering as Real Madrid in La Liga, its gold content is recognized as the highest.

In addition, what can be described in a large amount of pen and ink is Gago and Ronaldo, the second of the four great kings of the new generation, and they are also very similar.They all completed their transformation last year and reached their peak this year.

Ronaldo almost left Manchester United after the World Cup in Germany because of Wayne Rooney's red card incident, but under the tolerance of Ferguson, the Portuguese completed his sublimation, and his state this year erupted like a volcano.As of the last round of the league, the Portuguese king has scored a total of 32 goals for Manchester United on all fronts in one season, and this is still as a winger.There are more than a dozen rounds before the end of this season. Fans in the Premier League no longer dare to imagine where the limit of this young man who only knew diving a few years ago is.At least breaking George Best's [-] goals is not a problem.

But Ronaldo's such a hot state this year has not been recognized by world football as the No.1 of the younger generation.Because in Madrid, the capital of La Liga, a prince is ushered in.

Fernando Gago, this young man with a legendary name has also played legendary statistics this year. If Ronaldo has reached the extreme of a striker, then the Argentine prince has played the ultimate statistics that a midfielder can achieve.The two fronts of the League Champions Cup have contributed a total of 21 goals and 27 assists to the Los Blancos. This kind of data can be called a superstar if others can reach half of it in a season, but the Argentine prince only spent more than half a season. .

At the beginning of the season, Messi could still compare with him, but now, the media have searched the entire European football and found that only Ronaldo can compare with him.Kaka, who was able to overwhelm the other three kings last year, is no longer as good as the two.

The media found that the two have a lot in common. First of all, they both started to show world-class levels last season.Of course, the Madrid media believes that if Gago hadn't landed in Real Madrid last year, this commonality would have no meaning at all.

In this year's World Footballer and Ballon d'Or competition, it can only be selected from these two young people.Many media believe that as long as these two people can help the team reach the top in the Champions League, it is not a problem to copy Kaka's path last year.

Real Madrid and Manchester United, from a close point of view, are the confrontation between Gago and Ronaldo, the two young strongest players, but from a long distance, Redondo, the prince of the Blancos, broke out at Old Trafford The Red Devils' golden midfielder raised himself to the height of legend, and that ecstasy "heel kick" is still circulating in football.

Now the new generation of princes has returned to the Bernabeu, and in the Champions League, they will once again face Manchester United, which has also reached its peak.

Real Madrid VS Manchester United!

Gago vs Ronaldo!
This is a duel of fate!

After countless media got the news, such a headline came to mind!
