Chapter 626 Before the Battle
4月26日晚上的巴伦西亚市，在上个赛季刚刚进行过翻修的梅斯塔利亚球场迎来了第125界西班牙国王杯的最终决赛，对阵双方为赛会21次冠军得主皇家马德里以及6次捧杯的塞维利亚。

For this game, the current round of the league of the two teams has been postponed until next Wednesday, and the other eight games have also been completed in batches on Saturday and before the afternoon of this day, so that fans in the whole country can enjoy The focus of attention can be brought together to the battle of the night.

Judging from the historical confrontation records of the two sides in domestic cup matches, Real Madrid has an absolute advantage with a record of 7 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, and has maintained a substantial lead in the number of eliminations of the opponent with 5 to 1.It's just that in the finals, there was no precedent for the two teams to meet face to face, and this time it can be regarded as making up for the missing link.

However, since Li Mudi entered the Bernabeu, Sevilla, which has always been known as the Real Mark star, seems to have lost the buff brought by this title. The draw in the first round was the only reason for this strong team from Andalusia to save some face.

At the beginning of last month, they just lost four goals in the away game to this opponent in front of them. Not only did they accumulate more psychological shadows, but they were overtaken by Valencia in the standings and fell to the place where they missed the Champions League. No.5, but has not been able to get it back yet.

So on the stage of the final today, Sevilla still has some emotions of wanting to complete revenge, but more, it is still a kind of fear of Real Madrid.Even out of the consideration of protecting the players, Li Mudi excluded the newly injured Mbappe from the 18-man lineup at the last moment of submitting the squad, but with the momentum that the Galaxy Battleship just slaughtered Juventus Judging from the state and status, Sevilla, who are still focused more on how to win the last four rounds of the league and grab the last qualification for the Champions League, probably have no confidence to make an upset.

So after the opening, everyone could easily see that the team that was not favored by the outside world obviously still arranged a set of defensive and counterattack tactics. They can only use their only sharp weapon, and that is the rapid advancement of the sidewalk.But the Real Madrid coach has already made sufficient preparations today. He changed his formation again and used a 4-1-4-1 stance, which is to focus on defending the opponent's killer.

In addition to the two full-backs, the two wingers Hrabbert and Asensio who started today were also required to actively retreat when necessary to help their teammates interfere with the rapid advances on both sides of the opponent.Among the two attacking forwards in the frontcourt, Couch's defensive task is not heavy, but Ceballos will have to work harder. The team needs him to increase his running distance, so that he can play as soon as possible after the ball is switched. Change your own role accordingly, and one person has to play two roles.

Not long after the start of the second half, the substitute appearances of Vinicius and Valverde can also rest Asensio and Ceballos, who have consumed too much energy, while ensuring that the coach's tactics can be effectively continued.

In the end, after basically sealing off Sevilla's offensive strengths, Real Madrid took advantage of their strong offensive capabilities and scored goals in the first and second half from Pellegri and Cucci. , achieved a complete victory with a score of 2-0, easily won the second championship of the season (the third championship if you count the Spanish Super Cup), and moved towards the great goal set by the club A solid step.

And after experiencing two important matchups in a row, Li Mudi did not create any surprises for everyone. Unsurprisingly, he hid all his core in the La Liga supplementary match in the middle of next week.However, this starting lineup, which is dominated by Spanish fringe internationals such as Mele and Marcos Llorente, is not something that the relegation team Huesca can easily resist. As a result, a 3-1 victory made Real Madrid. The total number of league goals in the season broke through the 100 mark. Although there is still a long way from the highest record in La Liga, it can barely be regarded as a small milestone.

不过这场比赛出现的那粒失球，却使得他们确定无缘追平拉科在1993-94赛季以及马竞在2015-16赛季共同保持的单赛季最低失球数纪录了（18粒，只计算有20支以上球队的时期），多少还是令教练组尤其是负责指导防守的鲁伊·若热和帕文（就是同齐祖一起成为银河战舰一起建队口号的那位）感到有些小遗憾的。

Fortunately, this sentiment did not cause even the slightest negative impact on the team, because soon, the first league game in May started on the 3rd.For the Real Madrid club, this will be a very exciting day for them, because before the home game against Osasuna, they will hold a simple trophy ceremony, which symbolizes the Spanish football king. The trophy arrived in Madrid that morning under the arrangement of Football Association officials. Jesus Casas, who succeeded Rubiales as the president of Western Football three years ago, visited the Bernabeu in person to present the award to the new La Liga champion.

Last season, since there was no home game after the championship was confirmed, according to the strange regulations of the Western Football Association, they could only receive the award at the first home game of the season, which made the club feel very upset.This time, there is finally no need to wait for a long time. More than 8 Meilingers at the scene can enjoy the excitement and joy after winning the championship. Even the Osasuna fans who accompanied the team to the away game also experienced it There was an atmosphere of celebrating the league championship.

It's a pity that after 10 minutes, these guests from afar can only return to the hotel or the airport with a look of depression, because the Real Madrid players who just had the closest contact with the championship trophy obviously got an extra Buff bonus. Successfully, each of them showed a state of excitement that seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood.

So it was a tragedy for Osasuna, who were still cheering for the home team before the game, how could they withstand a group of world-class stars who fully released their energy with their strength, and finally swallowed six bullets in a row and gained a victory at the Bernabéu Stadium A big defeat.

This is the result of Li Moody instructing the players to restrain themselves after discovering that the situation is not good, otherwise, I really don't know if the goalkeeper of the visiting team will suffer from some mental illness due to the blow.

It is worth mentioning that Mbappe also came off the bench in the last 10 minutes of this game. It seems that his condition is still good, which made the few people who were worried about accidents in the second round of the Champions League semi-finals The fans are completely relieved.Everyone firmly believes that as long as Real Madrid can field the strongest lineup, Juventus will have no chance of a comeback.

However, judging from the 18-man roster announced by Li Mudi on Tuesday, the King of France did not become one of them. Regarding the doubts of the reporters, although the Real Madrid coach said that it was out of protection for the players who had just recovered, everyone I believe it is because he no longer has any worries about the promotion situation, so he dares to form troops so boldly.But even so, the outside world does not think that Juventus has a great chance to complete a comeback, because no one can imagine that there is still a team in today's world football that can beat the Galaxy Battleship by four goals in a single game.

Even if their midfielder Bentancur returns to the line of fire, even if his state can return to the best level immediately against common sense, the possibility of this is very slim.

However, Conte and his disciples did not give up. In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final match that started on Wednesday night, Juventus was very bold and pressed the whole army out after the opening. The counterattack ability took the opportunity to achieve the posture of the sieve.

Of course, the reason for being able to put up such a desperate offensive strategy without burden is also very easy to understand. First, they really have no other way to go, and second, the visiting team lacks the most speedy player. Mbappe, it seems that the threat will not be particularly great.

However, Li Mudi had already anticipated the pressure that the team might encounter, so he did not send a high center forward at all. Rodrigo, the nominal lone forward, would actually pull more to the left in actual combat, ready to use The gap behind the Juventus full-back after pressing forward and assisting up.Standing in the same position on the other side of the field is another Brazilian, Vinicius, who won the starting position by virtue of his speed advantage, while Asensio appeared in the center somewhat unexpectedly. In the position of avant-garde, the head coach hopes that he can become the key figure who sends the last pass in his own counterattack.

The idea of ​​this tactical arrangement is correct, because the home team's defense line must be pressed very high, and the large space behind them can be used by Real Madrid, so the counterattack efficiency will definitely be very high.Once an away goal is scored, it can completely kill the last suspense of the game in theory.Even if it is not possible, it can greatly restrain the opponent's offensive determination and reduce the defensive pressure of the own side. As long as the old lady can not attack without pressure, the result of promotion will not be shaken.

It's just that in the real game field, Li Mudi didn't expect that the opponent would really do it to death, and he didn't have any scruples about whether his side would lose the ball again, but he was very determined to carry out the attack to the end.Even in No. 18 minutes, Rodrygo almost used a counterattack opportunity to make Juventus kneel down and sing conquest, but after surviving the catastrophe, the opponent immediately stood up and took the weapon he had just dropped to face Real Madrid. The goal launched a relentless impact.

Therefore, the city guarded by Andre Lunin gradually appeared in continuous danger, and was hit by the post once in the No. 206 minute of the game. It seems that he is not too far away from conceding a goal.

In order to achieve the goal of creating a miracle, Conte also worked hard today, and sent all four of the most capable strikers on the field, especially the arrangement of using German international Arp and Keane as a double center forward , It can largely make up for the latter's weak confrontation ability and inability to act as a bridgehead for teammates to pass the ball in positional battles, which makes the two central defenders of the visiting team very headache.

This striker, who was born in January 2000, became famous in Hamburg, and did not perform very well in Manchester City due to personnel deployment, has a height of 1 meters and a jumping ability rated as 1.8 by the FM system. Can bring a lot of pressure to the combination of Skriniar and Vallejo.Even if you don't have full control of the ball when fighting for the high-altitude ball, it will give your teammates a greater advantage in the process of fighting for the second landing.

Therefore, it is difficult for Real Madrid to stop the opponent's continuous attack. This is rarely seen in their previous games. It also shows that Juventus is really strong. The 4-0 game played at the Bernabeu two weeks ago It was just an accidental case, and it cannot be judged from this that the strength gap between the two sides is really as big as the score shows.

However, to be able to become an invincible super team in European football this season, the defensive ability of the Galaxy Battleship is naturally not to be underestimated, especially when Marcos Llorente, Endidi and Fabas join forces When they played as their midfield barrier, they were impeccable in terms of coverage and tenacious spirit.After Li Mudi instructed Asensio and Vinicius to participate in the interception task as much as possible, regardless of the effect of the two people's retreat, at least the Juventus players want to penetrate in the middle or go far. The opportunity to shoot becomes extremely difficult.

And only relying on two crosses from the side and occasional cuts inside, the Real Madrid coach is confident that he can keep the goal without losing for a long time.

The final result also proved that his self-confidence did not appear out of thin air for no reason. Although he was suppressed by his opponents throughout the game and was far behind in various statistics, Vallejo had accumulated Before the two yellow cards were sent off in the 804th minute, the scoreboard above the Allianz Arena remained at 0-0, which made the fans of the home team who had been in a state of crazy cheering before also quiet down.

However, this goalless score could not be maintained until after the final whistle. Due to the long-term passive defensive posture, and then playing one less player, the physical consumption of Real Madrid in the away game was too great. It is inevitable that when the overall situation is determined, there will be inattention, or a state where you can no longer mentally force yourself to break through the limit.

Juventus took the opportunity to score two consecutive goals at the last moment. Although they failed to make a comeback as they wished, they can officially wave goodbye to this season's Champions League with some dignity.
