Midfielder.

Chapter 476

Barcelona once again fell out of the top eight unwillingly, but they are not lonely. Among the sixteen teams, half of them will accept the same fate as them, including their old enemies.

Real Madrid also failed to cross this hurdle. Wenger implemented his pragmatic tactical thinking to the end this time. The away game was [-]-[-], and when he returned to Highbury, Arsenal did not let go of their attacks.

Wenger changed his gorgeous offensive routine, at Highbury, in front of his home, they insisted on a 4-5-1 formation, which seemed very conservative, and defended a zero-to-zero result in nine 10 minutes , The scene was not good, even the Arsenal fans admitted, but the final result was that they won.

At the moment when the team's overall state is at its lowest, such a result may be the best choice.

Relying on Henry's long-distance riding alone in the away game, Wenger completed the ban on Real Madrid.

After watching the game, Mourinho might as well say with emotion, "If Arsenal had been so realistic earlier, maybe the gap between our team and it in the league would not be so big."

In order to advance, Wenger chose utilitarianism, just like what he said when criticizing Mourinho, Chelsea used the most skillful way to plunder the victory, and now, he is also taking this utilitarian road.

No coach can resist the temptation of trophies, no matter how noble he is, in the face of honors and trophies, he can only choose to bow his head, even if he has to give up his persistence sometimes, he will do so.

After all, this is a very real world, and some insistence cannot be exchanged for the same respect and understanding.

At least this unsightly game brought Arsenal into the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Although the scene looked a bit embarrassing, the cheers in the Highbury Stadium after the promotion still echoed for a long time.

On this night, Wenger put down the flashy, but he also reaped the kind of victory he most wanted.

It's just that when he let go of his insistence, Wenger didn't know how to look at Chelsea.

It is a team that is realistic to the bone. When others are pondering their own style, they use meat grinder-like tactics and strong execution ability to cut the goals and dreams of many teams.

But at this moment, Wenger also had to admit that this style of playing for winning is indeed very effective.

It's just that when Mourinho saw Arsenal playing the game like he once built Chelsea, he really missed Wenger's persistence to the bone, and it was an unforgettable memory.

But now Mourinho also has to pay attention to Arsenal's style of play. After all, their tactics of reducing mistakes and then relying on set-pieces and individual combat to solve problems, if a mature team uses them , Sometimes it is really handy, and it can also exert a large enough deterrent effect.

If the Chelsea team runs into their stalkers, it's really hard to say who will have the last laugh.

After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and there is an old fox like Wenger in charge. Anything can happen, especially if Arsenal go all out to defend, their line of defense is really not easy to be breached.

Just like this game, when Arsenal faced Real Madrid's frantic attack, their back line always acted in unison, so that Ronaldo, Raul and others often returned without success.

Having failed to pass the threshold of the top [-] for two consecutive years, like their old enemy, Real Madrid can only accept the fate of returning home. These two clubs are feuding clubs, and this time it can be regarded as the same goal by different routes.

But Barcelona as a whole is still in a rising period. At least their main frame is of a reasonable age group, so they won't have to rely on a few people in their 30s to take the lead like Real Madrid.

Although Ronaldinho was a bit depressed by Lin Yi's suppression this time, this kind of suppression can also let people know that there are people above him who will be brought down. fighting spirit.

Especially players like Messi and Iniesta will be able to successfully occupy the main position after two years.

At that time, Barcelona dare not say that they will firmly overtake Real Madrid, but at least they will not let Florentino's team have any good fruit to eat. They are determined to win the La Liga championship this season.

Although Rijkaard has been calculated by Mourinho for two consecutive years, his handsome position is not in danger for the time being.

However, Carlo, the head coach of Real Madrid, was not so lucky. Florentino informed him almost immediately after Real Madrid was eliminated that next season should be ready to pack up and leave.

This is not a scapegoat, but Carlo's ability is not enough to save Real Madrid's face.

From personal ability to personal charisma, Carlo has obviously not satisfied the players during most of the season. Similarly, the board of directors of the entire club has no special favor for this half-baked guy.

If it wasn't for most of the season, Florentino would have fired him long ago.

Now Florentino gave him an order to expel him, but it was just to tell the other party that you are out of the game.

As for who the next head coach will look for, at least until the end of the season, there will be no conclusion.

Finding a world-class marshal who is at home in a short period of time is not an easy task.

And who will take this hot potato, I guess those world-class marshals have to think carefully.

After all, everyone knows that the mess of Real Madrid sometimes cannot be solved by your coaching level. The upper-level personnel relations and coordination with the media are all very serious problems.

The head coach of a wealthy club not only needs to have a good level of coaching, but more importantly, he must have an exquisite heart and be able to balance all the problems around him. It's really not so easy to find a manager like Mourinho Yes, this coach candidate will definitely become a weight in the struggle of Real Madrid's top management.

It all depends on whether Florentino's re-election is smooth and how much money he can mobilize. After all, changing a coach may mean that he has to spend money to buy some new players.

If a world-class head coach is really brought in, then the supporting players will definitely not be cheap.

Now Lafayette really regrets why he didn't pack Mourinho and Lin Yi together.

Damn, at that time, the sale might have been done for less than 4000 million euros, but now the price has been raised to 6000 million, and people are ignorant of it, and it's not euros, it's calculated in pounds!
A victory that even 6000 million pounds could not buy. Thinking of this, Lafayette almost vomited blood.

And now these two guys have to mark it as not for sale, and if you want to buy it, you don't have to have money.

Especially when seeing Lin Yi and the others kill their old enemy again, this kind of resentment will become more and more intense. Just thinking about it makes me depressed. What an enjoyable thing it would be to kill Barcelona in the middle of nowhere!But it was such a good opportunity, but I wasted it in vain because I wanted to save some money.

The "Galaxy Battleship" built by Florentino now looks a bit shaky, and Zidane has also made it clear that he will choose to retire after participating in the World Cup.

Although the club and the national team have expressed their retention, the French baldness is still a bit self-aware.

The ups and downs of this season's state have already made him understand that he is going down the peak period. If he does not choose to retreat bravely at this time, then the final result can only be beaten down.

Rather than walking down from the altar in despair at that time, it is better to retreat with a little wit.

At least I can leave a thought for those fans who like me, so that I won't look too embarrassed.

Who can support the backbone of the Real Madrid team without a backbone?Raul like a flag?Or Ronaldo, who has been getting fatter recently?Or Guti, who still has his temper?Maybe Mr. Florentino should really think about what else he can bring to this team now.

If they just wave checks as much as possible to search for stars, they are not as thorough as Chelsea. At least in terms of effectiveness, the current Real Madrid team actually has no advantage at all.

The most important thing is that Real Madrid's aging and the speed at which it signs players obviously cannot keep up with the speed of the landslide. Perhaps the bilge of this luxurious battleship has collapsed and is sinking into the water little by little.

It's just that the boss who built the ship is still unwilling to admit this fact, but nothing can be saved.

The Champions League was eliminated, and the league felt hopeless to win the championship. This season, Real Madrid is going through the darkest period in recent years. As for when it will rise, no one knows.

The two heroes of La Liga were eliminated together this time, which made Spanish fans very sad, but finally there is a team that can save their lost eyes. Although Villarreal is participating in the Champions League for the first time, they have finally preserved a little blood for La Liga , They successfully overturned Everton who was preparing for revenge in the away game.

The one-to-one score is nothing to show off, but the capital of winning at home allows them to enter the quarter-finals with their heads high. At least it can be regarded as saving face for La Liga, otherwise they are really in the three games against the Premier League The whole army was wiped out, and now the game has become two to one.

The Yellow Submarine has been transformed into a team with a balanced offense and defense under the management of Argentine midfielder Riquelme, and the Argentine and Lin Yi have become representatives of two different types of midfielders. , Lin Yi believes in accuracy and speed, while Riquelme needs control.

Many people expect these two guys with very different styles to have a chance to compete. After all, this competition of one movement and one stillness, one fast and one slow, may become a classic battle of midfield core confrontation.

Even Lin Yi couldn't help rubbing his palms when he was watching the video of the Argentine midfield game.

It was a kind of mutual attraction between masters. If they could meet each other, Lin Yi would really like to break his wrists.

Compared with the bleakness of La Liga, Chelsea and Arsenal in the Premier League are promoted at the same time, which can be regarded as a relatively stable double insurance, but the recent weak Serie A seems to have a sudden emergence.

Serie A has always been a popular choice for the Champions League championship, but in recent seasons, they have indeed been a bit weak, coupled with the loss of a large number of stars in the league, this has really put them at a disadvantage in the competition. The scenery is gone, but this time they broke out suddenly.

It is estimated that no one would have imagined that in the top eight list, there are actually three teams from Serie A. This time, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus were all present, killing their competitors one after another.

Juventus is the most thrilling, winning [-]-[-] at home, and can only squeeze out Bremen by away goals. If it wasn't for Weiser's last-minute shot, it's really hard to say who would win.

But the result still satisfied the Turin people. After getting a midfielder like Vieira, their performance in the Champions League also began to strengthen. The quarter-finals may not be the result they most wanted.

However, compared with Juventus's stumbles and thrills, AC Milan is a bit unexpected. They returned to their home court San Siro, and they just didn't give Bayern Munich a chance.

Although facing the Bundesliga boss, AC Milan has put on an offensive posture since the beginning of the game.

Taking advantage of the home court, they rushed to attack desperately when they came up, directly blowing the head of the Bundesliga boss.

The shadow killer Inzaghi flashed twice on the forward line. In less than 13 minutes of the opening, he succeeded in grabbing points in the penalty area twice. Faced with such a shot, Kahn was really helpless.

The ghostly shadow is so fierce, you can't usually see him, but it will appear whenever you have a chance.

Now Inzaghi's existence, which has been slick to the extreme, really makes people feel a little scary.

Even Kahn said helplessly after the game, "That guy is like a ghost, always appearing suddenly."

The score of 10-[-] was maintained until about [-] minutes into the second half, when Bayern Munich regained a victory. A free kick by teenager Schweinsteiger allowed Ismail to find a chance to make a follow-up shot in the penalty area. It saved a little face for the Bundesliga giants. They even only need to score one more goal to advance to the quarter-finals by relying on the advantage of more away goals, but the Italians refused.

Kaka and Shevchenko scored two goals in the last 10 minutes, killing Bayern's extravagant hopes.

This strong confrontation is just like Barcelona and Chelsea, always staged this kind of thrilling offensive frenzy at the last moment, but Chelsea succeeded in a double play, while AC Milan only won a game by virtue of their home court, if they were not eager to equalize Score, maybe Bayern is not so passive.

"The benefits of scoring first, the Italians have given full play to their mature tactical advantages." Mourinho watched every move on the TV screen, and he was also sorting out AC Milan's tactics.

Compared with last season's decisive battle, the current AC Milan team may make people feel more pressured.

In particular, Kaka has become more and more mature. His role is not only reflected in organizing the team's frontcourt offense, but also can give full play to his absolute advantages in breakthroughs and shots when destroying cities.

This game is like this. Kaka's goal is that he dribbled the ball in the middle for nearly 40 meters. Facing the pincer attack of two people, he just passed through the middle with his body and completed a push shot.

Maybe the moment of the shot was not amazing, but the previous breakthrough and the deadly advance without hesitation made Mourinho feel a little terrified, "Why does that guy feel like he was beaten?"

It is estimated that Mourinho would not have imagined how depressed Kaka was after losing to Lin Yi last season.

It was so easy to change a season, seeing that Lin Yi could have a tit-for-tat confrontation with the big brother of his own national team in the election of the World Footballer of the Year, it is estimated that this stimulated Kakahaodun, the contest between top players is so direct, You are better than me?Sorry, I have to surpass you again no matter what!

It can be said that it was Lin Yi who stimulated Kaka into such a situation. Mourinho can only sigh that the animal he taught can not only become a thorn in the opponent's side, but also be a thorn in the flesh!

Inter Milan's road to promotion seems to be uneventful. They were very cautious in the two games, but it was enough for them to get a ticket to the quarter-finals. They may really want to have another derby in the same city now.

The rest of Lyon and Benfica are really studying with the prince this time. Although their grades are also good, if they want to make further progress, it is basically impossible, at least when they are compared with Chelsea and the others. , they themselves can clearly understand the gap.

Lyon and Benfica may be more eager to meet each other now, or to get a chance to enter the semi-finals. After all, every step forward in the Champions League represents a lot of income, and everyone would expect it.

In the eyes of these non-rich teams, it is a wonderful thing to repeat the miracle of Porto, but before that kind of luck and strong performance, the best way is to earn some of the most affordable income.

Tickets, broadcast share, maybe this kind of thing is what they care about the most. As for the championship?It's better to let those rich teams work hard. Sometimes things like dark horses are not so easy to be.

Eight teams, the quarterfinals will be all together, and now everyone is waiting for the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals to be held at the Paris City Hall on March [-]th, Kenyon also jokingly said, it seems that this time they can still be shady .

But Brito scolded this guy with a crow's mouth. After all, Chelsea's luck in the draw has been very bad.

Barcelona can be drawn in the top [-], who knows who else can be drawn in the quarterfinals?Could it be AC ​​Milan?

If UEFA's tricks lead to a difficult confrontation like AC Milan, then he really intends to publicly scold the public, "It's enough to mess with Barcelona once, there can't be a second time!"

If it's Chelsea's turn to meet the strong teams, then in the future this game will really become Chelsea's deminer. If these strong teams are eliminated, the Chelsea team will probably be dragged down by their opponents.

Neither Kenyon nor Mourinho are willing to do such an act of injuring one thousand enemies and self-injury eight hundred. I plan to defend my title by making wedding dresses for others!You are all fucking dreaming about spring and autumn dreams!

Chelsea, who are attacking on multiple fronts, are making steady progress toward their goals. . .
