The Champions League is approaching, and major teams have begun to prepare intensively.

Real Madrid is naturally one of them.

In particular, this Champions League quarter-finals is extremely important to them.

Being eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League five times in a row is like a curse that cannot be shaken off. Real Madrid fans are very troubled by this.

However, a lot has changed this season.

First, Florentino returned as club president, and also brought in Suker, Alonso, Benzema and many other stars.

So far, the overall running-in situation is pretty good. Although the outside world praises Real Madrid more, after suffering too many blows, Real Madrid fans are very cautious.

‘Please stop the poisonous milk! ’

Real Madrid fans can no longer hear these words.

The first phase of Galaxy Battleship, which was once highly publicized, was top-heavy, with a serious imbalance of offense and defense, and ultimately failed.

After Calderon came to power, there was even more chaos, which eventually led to the gradual decline of Real Madrid, which was once glorious, and was even dubbed the humiliating title of 'Sixteenth Champions League'.

Five seasons!

Unable to break through to the top 16 of the Champions League for five consecutive seasons, the Real Madrid team is too obsessed with this.

For this reason, a large number of Real Madrid fans traveled to Lyon for this Champions League quarter-finals.

They want to watch this game in person, even if most fans cannot get tickets and can only wait outside the stadium, but they still do.

On February 16, the entire Real Madrid team arrived in Lyon, France. They arrived in Lyon one day early to prepare for tomorrow's Champions League quarter-finals.

Madrid! Long live! !

Madrid! Long live! !

Madrid! Long live! !

The entire airport was filled with cheers from Real Madrid fans.

From the moment Real Madrid players arrived at the airport, there were endless chants.

Benzema took off his headphones and looked outside the airport through the transparent glass. There were densely packed fans standing there in groups, tens of thousands at least.

"so many people!"

Benzema exclaimed.

When Real Madrid plays away from home, there will be about 5,000 fans traveling with the team, but this time tens of thousands of people gathered in Lyon.

Although not all of them can watch this game in person, they still want to get the news of victory as soon as possible.

That’s right!

This time, they believe that Real Madrid can overcome the difficulties.

They can't afford to fall in the top 16 of the Champions League again!

If this continues, it could eventually lead to a complete collapse of fans' confidence.

The moment the Real Madrid players walked out of the airport, the cheers from the fans became even more intense.

There were many fans, raising their hands in the air, shouting Suk's name.

Suk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Suk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Suk! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

As Mr. 100 million, Suker's performance in Real Madrid is worth every penny.

From now on, Real Madrid can show such a performance largely because of Suker.

Although, Real Madrid also has some Suker dependence, but it is better than losing.

As for this dependence problem, adjustments can be made slowly through the establishment of the system and the choice of tactics.

Real Madrid fans believe that as long as Suker's condition is guaranteed, there is still hope for them.

The bus carrying Real Madrid players slowly drove out of the crowd and headed towards the hotel's defense line.

When we arrived at the hotel, the door was crowded with reporters.

"I won't accept any interviews today!"

Pellegrini spoke directly.

This time he was completely tough.

In the past, everyone was suppressing him, making him feel suffocated and compromising at every turn.

But now, he has signed a military order. If he doesn't win the Champions League, he will lose his job. How can it be easy?

Be interviewed?

no way!

Real Madrid players rarely said anything to the media and walked into the stadium in a low-key manner.

This made the media feel a little puzzled.

That night, major newspapers began to publish news about Real Madrid.

"real Madrid! All members entered the hotel in a low-key manner to prepare for the Champions League! 》

"Another life and death battle!" Real Madrid prepares cautiously! 》

"Pellegrini announced that Real Madrid will refuse to accept any form of interview in the next Champions League! 》

A lot of news is flying all over the place.

Real Madrid's preparation attitude is acceptable, but for Su Ke, it always feels a little strange.

"Is the Champions League quarter-finals a life-or-death battle?"

Suk shook his head and sighed.

This is Real Madrid!

This is the football club with the most Champions League titles, but the situation at this time is so bad.

Just a few years ago, Real Madrid was awesome!

In the next few years, Real Madrid will be even more awesome!

It can only be said that they are indeed at a very embarrassing point now.

"Is there any news from the club?" Suker asked Casillas.

Casillas lay on the bed, shook his head and shrugged: "He stepped on Florentino's minefield again!"

Su Ke also sighed helplessly.

Pellegrini!

This is really possible!

First there was a quarrel with Casillas.

Then he made Suke stay away.

Now, he publicly refuses to be interviewed.

You know, how much Florentino values ​​​​hot spots and traffic.

Lafayette can't wait for Real Madrid players to have scandals every day!

But now, Pellegrini has eliminated it directly from the source. It can only be said that he is seeking death to make a fortune.

Since the Champions League was about to take place, Suker did not tease the players, and even spared Ramos.

There was no talking all night, and at noon the next day, Real Madrid players arrived at the Gerland Stadium for a stomping activity.

When they came here, the Real Madrid players had mixed expressions.

After all, in five seasons, they were eliminated from the Champions League here twice in a row.

Although there were big changes this time, it still made them feel very uncomfortable.

Besides, is Lyon really easy to play?

The outside world is badmouthing Lyon, saying that they have lost their backbone, and some of their core players have retired and left.

But the new group of rising players still carry the pride of the Gerland Lions!

Lyon, it’s hard to play!

What's more, Real Madrid's defense configuration.

After a brief warm-up and getting familiar with the venue, the players returned to the hotel and waited for the game to start.

The sky gradually darkened.

The fiery red sunset filled the sky, as if it had burned half of the sky.

On this day, the fans who had been busy all day took off their work clothes, put on the jerseys of their favorite players, and headed towards the Gerland Stadium.

Champions League! coming! ——

"we are"

"Lion!"

"Gerland"

"Lion!"

"Tear the enemy in front of you to pieces!"

"Tear the enemy in front of you to pieces!"

"You will taste failure here!"

Along the street, tens of thousands of Lyon fans formed a huge square. They walked out of the alley, raised their hands and roared.

"Victory belongs to Lyon!!!!"

As the last ray of sunlight completely dissipated, the entire city fell into darkness.

The lights are lit.

Neon started to flash.

All the lights around the Gerland Stadium were also lit up.

A huge crowd gathered around the entire stadium.

Lyon fans are full of confidence.

They are the Lions of Gerland!

They have defeated Real Madrid in the last 16 of the Champions League twice in a row.

This time, they can also kick Real Madrid out of the Champions League.

Shouting high-pitched slogans, they began to accept tickets and slowly entered the stadium.

At the other end, Real Madrid fans also started to enter the stadium.

Lyon has only prepared 2,000 away tickets for Real Madrid. Compared with the tens of thousands of fans on the expedition, these 2,000 tickets are simply pitiful.

For this reason, most Real Madrid fans can only stay in special areas opened up in the stadium.

Fortunately, there is a huge screen on the outer wall of the Gerland Stadium where you can watch the situation on the field.

Although there will be some lag in the picture, they don't mind these things.

They just want to fight with their favorite team.

"Govou, Lyon's right forward, has superb shooting skills and can determine the outcome of a game. This is the breakthrough point we need to pay attention to most. Govou can always use his breakthrough ability to help the team. Create opportunities!”

"There is also Bosnia and Herzegovina midfielder Pjanic. He is an all-around midfielder. Once he enters the counterattack moment, he can deliver cannonballs to his teammates. What we need to do most is to eliminate this counterattack point!"

"The last one is the defensive midfielder Vukojevic. His large-area running ability and superb defensive skills make him a wall in front of Lyon's defense. If he wants to threaten Lyon's goal, he must be the first to break through Vukojevic. Fantastic defense”

Pellegrini once again emphasized the tactical focus, and the Real Madrid players listened carefully.

Although the relationship between Pellegrini and Casillas is very tense.

But personal things are personal, and now it’s a game, especially a Champions League game. This can’t be joked about, and it can’t be personal.

If you lose because of this, you will only be the one who is under siege.

The warm-up session was over. Suker put on his No. 9 jersey, cut a few holes in the back of the socks to increase the elasticity of the socks, and then put on his own boots.

After Pellegrini finished speaking, Su Ke straightened up, clapped his hands and shouted: "Come on! Guys, it's finally this moment. Don't doubt yourself. The hard work you put in will not let you down. Again, If you can’t find a passing point, pass it to me!”

Suk's face was full of confidence.

And those Real Madrid players who were originally worried, after seeing Su Ke's appearance, their hearts became slightly calmer.

Suk's performance and data are too convincing.

For this reason, they believe that even in difficult moments, Suker will help Real Madrid survive.

Casillas put on his goalkeeper gloves, clapped his hands and shouted: "Ready to fight!"

Roar! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Everyone roared and followed Casillas out.

Player tunnel.

Players from both sides are ready to go.

Lyon's lineup is full of elites.

Although they have been the victims of Real Madrid in the Champions League in recent years, they still dare not underestimate Real Madrid.

What's more, this season, after Suker joined Real Madrid, Real Madrid's offensive impact has reached a higher level.

Vukojevich took a deep breath and twisted his waist slightly, but there was always an uncomfortable feeling.

When he turned around to look for the source of his discomfort, he saw Su Ke staring at his legs.

Suk raised his head slightly and the two looked at each other.

Su Ke suddenly smiled awkwardly.

Vukojevich stared.

Still fucking watching?

Suk turned his head, shook his head and sighed.

He has basically given up. Since Vukojevic himself is so opposed to it and other national team teammates and the coaching staff feel it is inappropriate, he will not continue to have his own way.

To put it bluntly, Suk also wanted to take care of Vukojevic's feelings.

Even if it was a shovel injury, it was with Vukojevic's consent, and the two of them worked together to perform a play, instead of directly shoveling Vukojevic directly.

Just as Su Ke was thinking about these issues, the referee turned around and indicated that he was going to play.

Suddenly, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ——

Violent cheers surged.

The entire Gerland Stadium was boiling like an erupting volcano.

As the players entered the stadium, the fans burst into loud cheers.

In the south stand, a small number of Real Madrid fans also shouted in encouragement, but their voices were completely unable to compete with the tens of thousands of Lyon fans present and were quickly drowned out.

At the same time, the Real Madrid fans stranded outside the stadium, when they saw this scene, immediately shouted:

"Guys! Come on!"

In an instant, more intense cheers sounded like thunder outside the stadium.

Not long after, a neat slogan resounded through the sky.

Hala! Madrid!

Hala! Madrid!

Hala! Madrid!

With the cooperation on and off the court, the voices of Lyon fans were temporarily suppressed.

But this also angered the Lyon fans at the scene. The cheers became more intense, almost shouting at the top of their lungs, and the scene was quickly restored.

Even before the game started, fans from both sides were already competing for decibels.

“It’s so lively!”

Benzema couldn't help but marvel.

He is a Lyon player and has played here for a long time, but the Stade Gerland in the past was not like it is now.

It has to be said that the chants of Real Madrid fans aroused the passion of Lyon fans.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Lyon (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Lori.

Defenders: Revière, Chris, Boumsong, Sissoko.

Midfielder: Tularang, Vukojevic, Pjanic.

Forward: Govu, Lopez, Delgado.

Real Madrid (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Arbeloa, Garay, Ramos, Marcelo.

Midfielder: Granero, Diarra, Alonso.

Forwards: Higuain, Suker, Benzema.

"This is the first leg of the 2009/2010 Champions League quarter-finals, Lyon's home game against Real Madrid!"

“In this game, both sides showed their best performance.”

"Lyon's forward partnership of Govou, Lopez and Delgado is the most efficient and impactful forward combination in the past two years."

"Vukojevic's partnership with Pjanic in the midfield also makes Lyon particularly balanced on both offense and defense."

"Chris partners with Boumsong in the defense, and the full-backs on both sides are Revier and Sissoko!"

"Facing Real Madrid, Lyon dare not be careless at all. Although they have eliminated Real Madrid in the Champions League many times and won, Real Madrid this season cannot be underestimated."

"Real Madrid side"

The French commentator introduced it eloquently.

At this time, the captains of both sides have completed choosing sides.

Real Madrid took the lead.

Suker and Benzema stood in the center circle.

"Would you like to start with a rush?" Su Ke asked subconsciously.

Benzema said seriously; "It's best to test it first. Lyon's counterattack ability is very good, and Pjanic's ball-playing ability is superb. Combined with the impact of the two wingers, excessive forward pressure may be counterproductive."

Su Ke nodded immediately: "Listen to you!"

Benzema was surprised.

Is Su Ke so easy to persuade?

Su Ke does have a stubborn side, but he is not stupid!

Benzema is more familiar with Lyon than they are, so he is right.

Soon, the whistle sounded.

The whole game begins.

When Real Madrid kicked off, Lyon did not immediately engage in pressing, but deployed its defense cautiously.

Seeing Leon's posture, Su Ke immediately started to retreat and ran towards the middle.

Su Ke's running position is L-shaped.

He is not a pure winger, he has a wide range of activities in the front line.

In order to maximize the firepower of this cannon, Pellegrini not only gave Su Ke unlimited firing rights, but also gave him sufficient freedom.

Based on lineup considerations.

Suker's position is to switch between winger and attacking midfielder.

Sometimes, he will hide behind Benzema and Higuain, mainly responsible for the offensive planning in the frontcourt.

Sometimes, Suk will also run towards the wing and play blasting directly on the wing.

As for how to choose, it all depends on Su Ke's own wishes.

This is also a manifestation of Pellegrini giving Suker full freedom.

Even in Milan, Suker did not receive such tactical weight.

However, Suk had too much work to do, which also caused his firepower to be diluted a lot.

Real Madrid still needs a frontcourt organization position.

And the one who is most suitable for this position is Kaka!

If Kaka is at Real Madrid, Suker can be freed from this position and focus on the impact of the defensive line.

But now, he needs to shoulder the responsibility.

Snapped!

Su Ke passed the ball across the wing and immediately ran over to receive it again.

Vukojevic only stared at Suk and refused to let him turn around.

It has to be said that Vukojevic has grown very quickly over the years, and he can put a certain amount of pressure on Suker.

However, if he only had this strength, he could still fall.

boom!

When Suker turned around after pulling the ball, Vukojevic directly slid horizontally and shoveled Suker to the ground.

Suk fell down, causing chest pain.

damn it!

I didn’t put the shovel down!

This guy started it first!

Suk looked at Vukojevic fiercely.

Vukojevich didn't pay attention to this, he was a little panicked in his heart.

Su Ke turned around too quickly just now. If he hadn't released the shovel decisively, Su Ke might have been passed over in one step.

Once he breaks through the defense of the midfielder, Suker directly faces the defense. For Lyon, this is a disaster!
