On the evening of May 3, the Bernabéu was packed.

The second round of the Champions League 1/8 final between Real Madrid and Arsenal started at the Bernabeu as scheduled.

Real Madrid played their best, and Arsenal also dispatched a more aggressive starter than in the previous round.

When the players of the two teams walked into the field, the Arsenal generals stepped onto the battlefield with a tragic attitude.

"The second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final, the match between Real Madrid and Arsenal is about to start.

In the last round of the match, Real Madrid defeated Arsenal with a score of 3:2 at the Emirates Stadium, which gave them the upper hand in this game. As long as they do not lose, Real Madrid can smoothly advance to the Champions League this season. Quarterfinals.

In the past two weeks, everything has been going well for Real Madrid, although they have received another draw in the league and have been criticized by the media, who believe that Real Madrid's performance in the league in the second half of the season is not as good as in the first half of the season.

But we must admit that the momentum of Real Madrid's complete victory in the first half of the season is difficult to replicate.

In addition, Real Madrid's shift of focus to the Champions League in the second half of the season is also the main reason.

Arsenal suffered a bigger blow after losing at the Emirates Stadium in the last round!

We cannot estimate the negative impact of this major blow on the Arsenal team.

On February 2, just after losing to Real Madrid, in the Premier League game in Birmingham, Arsenal forward Eduardo suffered a tragedy of breaking his leg. The Arsenal players witnessed the tragedy of their teammates, which had a negative impact on their psychology. unimaginable.

In the past two rounds of the Premier League, Arsenal have scored two consecutive draws and were narrowed by the chasers behind them to a gap of 4 points.

Hope Arsenal can cheer up in this game.

The following is the starting list of both sides.

Real Madrid starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas.

Defenders: Ramos, Pepe, Cannavaro, Heinze.

Midfield: Robinho, Diarra, Guti, Sneijder.

Forwards: Qin Xiong, Raul.

Arsenal starting 442.

Goalkeeper: Almunia.

Defender: Eboue.Senderos, Gallas, Clichy.

Midfielders: Walcott, Fabregas.Flamini, Hleb.

Forwards: Adebayor, Henry. "

In the past two weeks, what has troubled Real Madrid is the public opinion of summer signings.

But for Arsenal, the Eduardo broken leg incident made things worse!

This completely lowered the morale of the Arsenal team to the bottom!

After witnessing Eduardo's broken leg on the field, it is impossible to say that the Arsenal team is too psychologically fragile.The will is not strong enough, the mental ability to resist pressure is too weak, and other sarcastic remarks.

Just imagine, young players like Clichy, Cesc Fabregas, Walcott, etc., who have witnessed their teammates being tackled with their legs broken, would they be as cold and indifferent as killers?

Yes, players are always at risk of injury.

But a nosebleed and a broken nose are two completely different concepts!

Who can accept all this calmly?

Why are the Arsenal players who came to the Bernabeu so tragic?Not only lost to Real Madrid 2:3 at the Emirates Stadium, facing desperation to make a comeback on the verge of despair!

There is also the psychological shadow brought about by Eduardo's broken leg incident!

After the game starts.Arsenal immediately launched an onslaught. They wanted to enter the game directly at the Bernabeu and destroy Real Madrid at a super fast pace.

But they obviously overestimated the speed at which they entered the state in the away game.

It seems that the offensive is fierce, but in fact it is difficult to play exquisite coordination on the offensive end, and there are too many mistakes.

Even shooting is difficult to complete.

In the 5th minute of the game, Henry received a pass from Cesc Fabregas in front of the penalty area and then cut the ball across and was successfully intercepted by Cannavaro.

Real Madrid was mentally prepared for this game, knowing that Arsenal needed to score, and at least two goals, so they strived for balance in the opening stage of the game.

After Arsenal's attack at any cost failed, Real Madrid got a good attacking environment.

But Real Madrid also had problems.Robinho's performance today is clearly out of state.

In the 7th minute of the game, Qin Xiong sent him an oblique plug in the frontcourt. After breaking through Krishna's inside cut, he had already formed a chance for a single-handed goal. As a result, he did not choose to pass the ball to the unguarded Lao you.Instead, he chose to shoot by himself. Not only did he miss the goal, but the football also deviated from the goal, which was a bit outrageous.

At first, the Real Madrid generals didn't feel anything.

People have stumbles, horses have stumbles, and the occasional one or two abnormal performances can be ignored.

But in the 14th minute of the game, Sneijder once again gave Robinho a single-handed shot on the right side of the penalty area in the frontcourt.Robinho swayed away from Almunia and pushed an empty goal.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands were ready to stand up and cheer, but watched dumbfounded as the football rolled off the baseline against the outside of the goal post.

"Robinho missed two golden chances after the start! It can be said that both are must-goal opportunities. What is he doing? If Robben hadn't suffered a minor injury, I'm afraid Bosque would not let him start. , Coming to the second half of the league, Robinho's playing time was already getting less and less, but he failed to show a convincing performance in such an important game."

Bosque sat on the coach's bench with a helpless expression on his face.

The reason why he seldom starts Robinho in the second half of the season is that Robinho is better than Robinho in terms of ability. If Robben is not injured, it is normal for Robinho to play as a substitute.Secondly, through tracking and observing Robinho's training quality and physical condition, he found that the Brazilian's state fluctuates more obviously, which has a lot to do with his private life.

Bosque knew that it was useless to talk to them, and it was not that no one urged and warned him, but the nature of the country is easy to change, and the common problem of South American players can be cured by a few words?

Thinking of making Robinho vigilant and threatening by reducing his playing time, the Brazilian accepted it calmly. Maybe the team is running normally, and he doesn't think there is a big problem.

This is the embodiment of not fully focusing on football.

Bosque felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

Now he just hopes that Robben will never get injured again in the second half of the season.

Arsenal's game today is empty and imposing, lacking a deeper and subtle coordination.

Another point is that Arsenal's confrontation ability seems to have plummeted compared with the previous game!

When Real Madrid made a brave press, most of Arsenal's players were discouraged!

This should also be directly related to Eduardo's broken leg incident.

Arsenal carry a huge mental burden in the game, they may not be able to fully focus on the game!

Wenger felt bewildered on the sidelines. (~^~)
