Mister Legend

Chapter 648
This much-anticipated Madrid derby finally ended with the Barcelona people having the last laugh.With the victory of the La Liga leaders in this round, they have brought the advantage over Real Madrid back to five points. In theory, as long as they don’t lose to Real Madrid in the subsequent national derby, or even if they lose, they can win the same horse. A competitive duel can basically guarantee the championship of the league.Because the remaining opponents of these three teams are not very strong, there is almost no possibility of being upset again.

Facing the situation that fate is no longer in their own hands, the rest of Real Madrid did not lose their confidence in winning three consecutive championships. The coaching staff and players held an exhaustive meeting before training on the second afternoon after the game. The short internal meeting adjusted everyone's mentality in time.Li Moody concluded his speech by saying: "Everyone is very clear about the current situation. It is indeed very difficult to defend the league championship, but there will never be a lack of miracles on the football field. Even if the final result is not the most satisfactory, as long as we can Unite as one to fight for every victory, then for ourselves, we can be regarded as worthy of our hearts.”

So after eliminating Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League and advancing to the semi-finals, the Galaxy Battleship played against Real Oviedo at home in the No.30 three rounds of the league and completely got rid of the negative emotions caused by failing to win the city derby. The hearty victory proved that they have not given up on the title race.

During the game, Italian center Manuel Pellegri also created a new league record, which was the shortest time-consuming hat-trick.In the No.17, 21 and 31 minutes of the first half, he broke the goal of the visiting team three times. The whole process only took 2006 minutes and 5 seconds, thus surpassing the legendary Spanish striker David Villa in [-]. It took only [-] minutes to complete the historical record of winning three yuan alone, and became the new king of this extremely difficult list to rewrite.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid's No. 9's three goals were scored with his right foot, left foot and head.

Coupled with Mbappe's brace and an own goal made by Hrabert and David Carmona, the Galaxy Battleship bloodbathed Oviedo, who was deeply in the relegation circle, with a six-goal advantage. A very good competitive state.

As for the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which both won in this round, Real Madrid really didn't pay special attention.Because everyone knows very well that no matter what the results of other competitions are, all they can do is to show their best performance. Only by achieving the ultimate state in the head coach's mouth can they create a miracle. .So try not to pay attention to things that will distract you. How to win every victory is what they need most and the only thing they can do now.

Since the Copa del Rey final of this season will be held next Sunday, the 25th, this round of La Liga will be held ahead of schedule on Friday and Saturday. They have to go into battle on Wednesday night, and since the end of the winter break, they have to go through the test of a week of double matches almost every week, which requires a lot of physical fitness for the players.

Fortunately, Li Moody's rotation system is matched with the team's deep lineup depth, so that their limit in this area is always much stronger than other competitors.Therefore, in this away game against Valladolid, even if core players such as Mbappe did not travel with the team, the attack line composed of Couch, Hrabert, Vinicius and Solzano is still In the Zorilla Stadium, the hundreds of Meilingers who accompanied the team to the away game got three chances to cheer.

And this game also became a milestone in Elias Zidane's career, because Zizou's fourth son scored his first goal in La Liga with a precise volley after coming off the bench After scoring a goal, after 21 years, he became another member of the Zidane family who contributed to Real Madrid.Previously, Elias' three older brothers, Enzo, Luca and Theo, had all played in official matches wearing this white jersey, but none of them scored goals. Once, the long-awaited moment finally arrived for the Meilingers.

After the game, Ronaldo, who came to watch the game as a major shareholder of the club, ignored the depression of his team's loss, and came to the visiting team's locker room to express congratulations to his friend's son face to face, making everyone who regards him as an idol Real Madrid players excitedly rushed up to line up to take photos with the former aliens.

As a result, when these photos were sent by them on social media, it also attracted the jealous wailing of the players who stayed in Madrid because they failed to enter the squad. Among them, the Brazilian star Rodrygo even expressed He regretted not being able to communicate with his idol at close range, and jokingly dumped the blame on his own coach, clamoring for Li Moody to compensate him for a chance to meet Ronnie.

This state shows that the atmosphere in the Real Madrid team is still very relaxed. It has not suffered too much negative impact because of the unfavorable situation in the league championship. The attitude is still very positive.

On the other hand, Barcelona, ​​where the situation is good, seems to have some problems because of the physical and competitive status of several core players.In this early start of the league, they had a good location and a favorable situation, but they almost stumbled in front of Alaves, whose away performance has always been poor.

First, the starting left-back Juan Miranda left the field early because of a strained thigh muscle before half-time, and then the team's main force Marc Cuculera, who came off the bench, was injured shortly after the rematch. A reckless tackle was sent off the court by a direct red card, which resulted in them only being able to fight with ten men in the next 30 minutes.As for whether he can still find a suitable man in this position in the subsequent leagues, that is no longer something Harvey had time to consider at that time.

Fortunately, before Cuculera was sent off, Barcelona had already achieved a 1-0 lead with Ruiz's goal. Afterwards, they strengthened the protection of their own goal through substitution adjustments, and withstood the visiting team's final goal. The fierce offensive at all times saved the victory and held the five-point lead with great difficulty.

It is in this strange situation that the pursuers are extremely relaxed, but the frontrunners are in a bit of chaos. This season's King's Cup final kicked off on the last weekend of April. The two Western Super League powers can pass this match Make the closest survey for the life-and-death battle in the league a week later.

Of course, in terms of the importance of the round, this final is also extremely high for the two teams.

The King's Cup has always been Barcelona's back garden. Since the 2008-09 season, they have won the cup 18 times in the last 11 years, including a five-peat and a three-peat. Absolute king.

As for Real Madrid, although against the background of the Champions League and the league, it seems that they have not always paid much attention to the Copa del Rey, but because they have won this trophy in the previous two seasons, they ushered in the first team in team history after 1905-08. An excellent opportunity to win the three consecutive championships, naturally also showed the momentum of winning.

Therefore, at the new San Mames Stadium on this day, the two heroes of the Western Super League launched a fierce fight, and there was no such situation as the outside world predicted before to test or rehearse the lineup for the league confrontation a week later.

The two sides still continued the tradition of collision between ball possession tactics and quick counterattacks over the past few years, and all of them have come up with their own strongest configurations in the formation of troops. Preserving strength in the final also made the process of the competition very exciting. Even if it can't be said that there is no urine point in the whole process, at least in the eyes of insiders, the quality is still extremely high.

In the end, the two sides drew 10-1 within 1 minutes. The scorers were Mbappe and Guiri, and Pellegri and Sergio Gomez also hit the goal frame once.

After entering overtime, the goalkeeper of the two teams, Flüchter and the Belgian national goalkeeper Maier Svilar, who had just replaced Ter Stegen this season as Barcelona's new starter, became the heroes of their respective teams. The latter blocked Rodrygo's single shot at the last moment, and the former accurately judged the route of Havertz's penalty kick and completed the save, which did not let the efforts of the whole team be wiped out at that moment.

After a thrilling 10 minutes, the rivals, one of the biggest in Spanish football, had to go to the final and most brutal part - the penalty shootout - to decide who was eligible to start the season The team in the Copa del Rey.

Judging from the ability value provided by the FM system, the penalty kick ability of the players of the two teams is basically the same, especially after the intentional adjustments of Li Moody and Harvey, several players with a score of 14 or above remained on the field. It can be said that it is still evenly matched from this perspective.

However, in the goalkeeper competition, Barcelona goalkeeper Svilar still seems to have some advantages, because in the past three seasons he has played for Monaco and Barcelona, ​​he has successfully saved a total of eight penalties. European football is recognized as a super goalkeeper with special skills in this regard.

As for the German Flüchter, although he has won more than once or twice in this kind of duel on the twelve-yard line by relying on his excellent basic skills, after all, he still seems a little bit compared to the magic of the opponent's goalkeeper. Overshadowed.Therefore, commentators from various countries who broadcast live the final will be more optimistic that the Catalans may have the last laugh.

But Li Mudi is full of confidence in his lover. Apart from the fact that the latter has adjusted his competitive state to the highest level through a successful penalty save, he also sorted out the data provided by the FM system early on, and concluded that It broke the habits of several opposing players when taking penalty kicks.Flüchter had made preparations before the game, and when the captains of both sides were called by the referee to decide the goal position and the order of penalty kicks, Real Madrid's goalkeeper coach Toland made the printed , The small note that should have the free throw preference of each Barcelona player was handed over to his goalkeeper, so that he can review and consolidate it.

So even though the German national goalkeeper's ability to save penalty kicks does not seem to be as good as Svillar's (of course, this is not necessarily the case), he enjoys an information advantage that the opponent cannot match. Occupy a great advantage.

The final result also proved that Li Mudi's hard work was not in vain. Even though Barcelona had made similar preparations, they couldn't compare with the level of sophistication provided by the FM system.

Even though Rodrygo, the third player on the field, took a penalty and rushed to the lower right corner of the goal, which was blocked by Svillar unbelievably, but Flüchter blocked the points of Artur and Dolberg successively. The ball made Real Madrid's last player, Fabas, not get a chance to make an appearance, and it brought an end to this classic battle.

Relying on the almost perfect performance of their own goalkeeper, the Galacticos defeated their rival Barcelona through a penalty shootout and became the final winner of the Copa del Rey for the third consecutive year.

At the same time, they have also proved to everyone that they have basically regained the near-invincible state of last season. The best example is to overthrow the league leader face to face, so the suspense of who will win the La Liga championship remains to be seen. It's far from the end.

Sure enough, a week later, Real Madrid, who returned to the Bernabeu Stadium, first showed more than 8 fans at the scene the championship trophy that had just been included in the club's honor showroom, and then took advantage of Barcelona's left-back position after the start of the game. The available dilemma frequently allowed Mbappe to attack this side, which directly disrupted Harvey's tactical deployment before the game.

Since the right back Mateu Morey, who is temporarily playing this position, has a serious left foot, he has a huge inherent disadvantage in defending the French king's bottom cross. Vetozar Markovic and midfielder Alenia had to make frequent supplementary defenses, which disrupted Barcelona's overall defense position.

The tightness in the eyes of the defense will naturally affect their investment in the offensive end, so this national derby presents a very different situation from the King's Cup final seven days ago, that is, Real Madrid's possession of the ball and the attack they launched The number of times actually occupied a greater advantage.

And when top attackers like Pellegri and Mbappe can get the full support of their teammates, no matter how good Svilar and others are today, they cannot be completely blocked.Last year's World Footballer's volley in the first half No.307 minutes, and the Italian striker's header in the second half No.601 minutes, both successfully knocked on Barcelona's goal and helped Real Madrid open the door to victory .

And the defense led by Barcelona "rebel" Jose Martinez did not leave any opportunity for the superstars of the visiting team such as Guiri, and the Galaxy Battleship was able to score two goals in this crucial national derby The result of the complete victory has achieved the goal Li Modi set before - to do what they can do to the extreme.
