king of world football

It was pouring rain in Madrid, which brought a chill to all Bernabéu fans. They looked at the bright red numbers on the big electronic display screen in disbelief, 0:2, Real Madrid lost almost completely to Dortmund at home.塦

If it weren't for the first round victory over the opponent, they might really stop here. Now the two rounds of 4:3, the Galaxy Battleship narrowly defeated the Hornet and advanced to the semi-finals.

Ancelotti and Zidane stood on the sidelines dumbly, letting the rain soak their bodies. They didn't understand how the team could lose the game so easily.

Except for Morata replacing Wang Feng, Varane replacing Pepe, and Coentrao replacing Marcelo, the rest of Real Madrid's main force is almost full. Although the rain hindered the players' performance, it is the same for both sides. condition.

In particular, both of them feel that the players have basically played their own level, but they are at a disadvantage in the face of the Dortmund main lineup after the end of the suspension and the return from injury.

The home team took the lead in getting a chance. In the first half, Coentraang made a cross from the left and hit the right elbow of the jumping Piszczek. The Slovenian referee Skmina whistled a penalty.

Di Maria pushed with his left foot, but was blocked by Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller.

The side that wasted chances was bound to be hit. In the 24th minute, Friedrich made a long pass from the backcourt, and the ball flew over 60 meters to Real Madrid's backcourt.塦

Varane grabbed the first header and returned to the goalkeeper, but Royce flashed like a ghost and took the ball away with his left foot, then swayed past Casillas and shot an empty goal.

The second goal of the visiting team occurred in the 51st minute. Royce made a steal in the midfield and scored the goal. Lewandowski pushed from a small angle to the far post from a position 10 meters away from the left side of the goal.

The ball bounced back into the field, and Royce scored twice with a close-range supplementary shot.

Although he did not finally achieve a shocking reversal, Klopp is still very satisfied with the performance of the players. It is also a feat to be able to suppress the Galacticos at the Bernabeu.

After the game, he shook hands with Ancelotti and joked: "Actually, there is not that much gap between us, is there? I have to say that Wang really has no solution!"

The Italian only felt his face was hot. This sentence not only implies that Dortmund's overall level is not much different from Real Madrid, but also implicitly expresses that his coaching level is similar to the opponent's.

Without Wang, how can you become the best coach in the world so easily?塦

When Ancelotti took over the Galacticos, they had already dominated the league and the Champions League for five consecutive times. After that, he continued the team's glory, continued to win two league and Champions League trophies, and is now heading towards defending the title.

If he succeeds, shouldn't he retire as well?Now the Italians finally understand the feelings of Schuster and Benitez.

He is still young and wants to take on more challenging tasks. Thinking that Real Madrid's top management is also sparing no effort to train Zidane around him, Ancelotti has an adult beauty in his heart.

The head coach's face was dull, and Florentino's face was livid in the luxurious private room on the stand. "How did you play like this? Underestimating the enemy, or something else?"

Valdano sighed, he saw it very clearly, and knew that Perez also understood: "This is the true level of the team without Wang Feng, and it is also a fact that we must face in the near future."

"Perhaps everyone has subconsciously been adopted by the Chinese superstar, thinking that he will definitely win an important game, but it turns out that he is irreplaceable. Without him, we would lose this miracle."

"No matter Bell, Ronaldo or even Messi can catch up with his role." 塦

Florentino rubbed the corners of his eyes: "I know, I have always understood, but the closer the parting moment is, the more anxious I will be."

"Speaking of which, Wang is really slippery. He chose to leave after leaving a legend. No matter how many years have passed, people at the Bernabéu will only myth him step by step."

"Is Gareth really unable to carry the banner?" Real Madrid chairman asked unwillingly, Valdano nodded: "Based on the observation of the past season, I don't think so."

"Injury status is one aspect, and another aspect is spiritual encouragement. Bell couldn't convince the crowd, and he didn't even fully integrate into the group. If Wang didn't always take him with him, he might still be an isolated member in the locker room."

"Not to mention that young players use him as an example. I even think that the Welsh people will not recognize all the members of the first team? All in all, his character is not suitable for being a club leader."

"Since this is the case, we must consider new candidates. Maybe the mercenaries he mentioned are also good." Florentino murmured to himself in a faint voice.

Real Madrid fans were frustrated in the rain, while Barcelona fans fell into the abyss a day later. The team they supported lost 0:1 to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The two rounds were 1:2. Blue Moon created a miracle, the first time in history Reach the Champions League semi-finals!

Cristiano Ronaldo danced wildly amidst the cheers of the audience. At this moment, he is the hero of this stadium. In contrast, Messi, who has retired sadly, tears are faintly visible under the camera.

Martino didn't wait for the club's response, and immediately announced his resignation as the head coach of Barcelona at the press conference, and said that he was to blame for the club's four major players this season.

"I didn't control the locker room, and I failed to unite everyone as a whole. (Coaching Barcelona) is an unforgettable memory and a profound lesson."

This is the fifth Barcelona head coach who has dismissed get out of class after Rijkaard, Guardiola, Vilanova and Lula in recent years. This position is really like a hot potato.

Barcelona executives also agreed to the resignation of the Argentine coach later, and the assistant coach will lead until the end of the season.

Although he has gone far, his notoriety has not been eliminated. Many media have shifted the main responsibility for the loss to Martino, and his formation has been criticized from beginning to end.塦

In the crucial battle against Manchester City, Messi was once again placed on the wing away from the goal, with Suarez acting as the center forward. Everything looked perfect. The visiting team also had nearly 70% of the ball possession, but they still lacked a fatal blow.

The Argentine star only had 4 shots and one shot on goal in the whole game, but conceded as many as 9 times. He was completely lost in the unfamiliar environment.

To be honest, Martino cannot be entirely blamed for this. It is a fact that Messi suffered frequent injuries and poor form this season. He could not integrate well into the head coach's tactical system and the cooperation of his teammates, and instead became a constraint.

In addition to the often-hyped Liuli World Cup, there is another reason that is little known, that is, the Argentine star gave up strict diet control and became unhealthy.

Since the time of Guardiola, Messi has been asked by the head coach to go on a strict diet, eat less beef and pizza, not drink carbonated drinks, and eat more fish, vegetables and fruits.

This is one of the important reasons why he is physically strong and rarely suffers injuries. Afterwards, both Vilanova and Lula continued this requirement. No matter how difficult they were, they never gave up supervising the Argentine star.

But with the arrival of compatriot Martino, I don’t know whether he didn’t care or didn’t study it, he didn’t force Messi to control it, which made the Argentine star very happy. Beef, barbecue, Coke, all the pleasant things Food is all you can eat.塦

The direct impact of this is muscle deterioration, and muscle injuries are not far away.
