Chapter 583 Champions League semi-final

The Champions League 1/4 knockout rounds are all over.

The major football media have conducted in-depth reports on the knockout match.

Overall, the four contests were exciting.The focus of the major media reports is also different.

"Daily Sports Daily": "Barcelona's halberd sinks into the sand, Messi's defeat is glorious!"

The article stated that in Funchal, Portugal, Barcelona was defeated by the young Maritimo, and the way of defeat was exactly the same as before.They were all defeated by the fast-paced, high-confrontation high-position press.Before, Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich have defeated Barcelona in this way.Now Barcelona's pass-and-control football has encountered a bottleneck, and TIKI-TAKA, which once led the world, seems to be dethroned by a new, sharper and fiercer football style.

However, Barcelona lost, but Messi did not lose. The Argentine football king is still the mainstay of the team, and his performance is still brilliant, but he lacks helpers around him.The current Barcelona is not worthy of Messi...

As for Messi, who was almost invisible in the last 20 minutes of the game, both in terms of statistics and performance, he was overwhelmed by the younger Wang Zi in the opponent's lineup, and the club's royal mouthpiece selectively ignored his own words that "there are talents from all over the world, each leading the way for hundreds of years".

The pro-Real Madrid "Aspen" focuses, of course, on Real Madrid's games.

"Real Madrid were beaten by Ronaldo, we need Ronaldo at this moment"

Cristiano Ronaldo returns to the Bernabeu after leaving Real Madrid for many years.The king of the Champions League once again showed the true colors of Mr. Key.In overtime, he used his best header bombing to break through Real Madrid's gate and completely sent his old club into the abyss.

Surprisingly, the 37+ Ronaldo can still jump so high, maybe the sky is his limit!
On the other hand, Ronaldo's successors and successors, whether it is Hazard or Vinicius, whether it is Asensio or Mariano, are as disappointing as ever, showing the true qualities of the soft-footed shrimp in the competition.

After Ronaldo left, some Real Madrid fans played the sign of who needs Ronaldo in the stands of the Bernabeu. Now it seems that the one who needs Ronaldo the most is Real Madrid, which has repeatedly hit the wall in the Champions League! "

As the daily newspaper with the largest circulation in Germany and Europe, "Bild" naturally pays attention to the performance of the "King of the Bundesliga".

"Bayern and Liverpool staged the most pinnacle collision in European football! Two rock-and-roll teams used passion, stamina, speed and strength to present a gluttonous feast for the fans!
In the end, the tradition was continued, and Klopp's team fell at the feet of Bayern again! "

Bayern's mouthpiece, never forgetting to satirize his Bundesliga opponent Dortmund.

No way, Bayern excavators not only like to dig opponents' corners, but also like to make fun of opponents.It's like a dandy who not only takes the body of another girl by force, but also judges her life not good enough afterwards.

Beinsport Arabic TV, owned by the Qataris behind Paris, rejoiced in PSG's victory.

"Paris had the last laugh in what could be called a beautiful football match!
In the face of absolute strength, Guardiola's pass-and-control football lost its way.As Mbappe matures and Neymar grows stronger, this year PSG finally has absolute strength. As long as they step over the mountain of Bayern Munich and have a shame, then no one can stop Paris from winning the Champions League!

Just like the Arabic proverb: no matter how majestic the desert will be conquered by the tough camel! "

Sky Sports, L'Equipe and other media focus on the competitiveness of the league.

"Surprisingly, the Premier League and La Liga teams were wiped out! Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Manchester City, among the top 8, the Premier League and La Liga teams accounted for half of the country, but none of them entered the semi-finals! This is the second time after the 2014-2015 and 2019-2020 seasons that two teams known as the world's strongest leagues failed to enter the Champions League semi-finals. Does this mean that the Premier League and La Liga are no longer competitive? This is a matter of opinion!"

……

So far, the Champions League semi-finals are freshly baked.They are: Juventus, Maritimo, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain.

In the top 8 before, the appearance of Maritimo still gave people an abrupt feeling, but with the victory over Barcelona, ​​no one dared to underestimate this young guard!

The matchup of the Champions League semi-finals is thus determined:
Juventus VS Maritimo;

Bayern Munich VS Paris Saint-Germain.

Bayern vs Paris, naturally needless to say.This is a replay of the 2019-2020 UEFA Champions League final, and it is destined to be a contest where sparks hit the earth.Considering the fame and strength of the two teams, many people regard this as an early stage of the final.

And the other semi-final is also quite interesting.You must know that Maritimo has just eliminated Barcelona led by Messi, and now he has met Juventus led by Ronaldo.This is the rhythm of eliminating the champion all the way!
Especially considering the many young talents in Maritimo's team, the first thing many media think of is gimmicks such as "the wave behind the Yangtze River pushes the wave ahead", "the old king is old, and the new king will stand".

In order to cater to this hype, for the first time, the European media put forward the "Wang Zi's new king theory".

The argument of the media is that if Maritimo eliminates all the giants all the way and finally wins the Champions League, then Wang Zi, the core of this youth team, is the best candidate for the Golden Globe Award and World Footballer of the Year, and his legendary victory over Messi and Ronaldo may be due to God's will. This promising young man may embark on the same road as his predecessors!

This statement, of course, is hype.Wang Zi's current strength is only one of the offensive dual-core in the Maritimo formation. At least Ronaldo's performance is not inferior to him, and in the midfield, Qusay and Joao also play important roles.Not to mention, Niu Gensheng, the "Wall of Sighs" who blocked the goal countless times.

The reason why Wang Zi received so much attention.In addition to superb football skills, what is more important is the idol bonus in the young and handsome appearance and temperament.

Now he is not comparable to Ronaldo and Messi, but he is a bit similar to Beckham. He is a heartthrob who is popular among thousands of girls!
This is also one of the important factors why the media believes that Wang Zi will win the Golden Globe Award. Considering that he will attract a large number of female audiences, it will have a huge role in promoting football, and FIFA will not turn a blind eye.

For such hype, Wang Zi naturally scoffed, and was even very disgusted.

What he wants to prove to the world is his own strength, not some idol effect.

However, his teammate Pan Xinyue didn't think so. As the captain of the prince's personal guards, Pan Xinyue had already stated her position at the team's training mobilization meeting. Next, she will train and play hard. She must let the team win the Champions League and Wang Zi win the Golden Globe Award.

"Whoever doesn't push hard, I'll scratch him!"

Pan Xinyue stretched out her claws and screamed, making everyone shiver involuntarily.

It seems that the weight of winning the championship has increased again...

However, no matter how you say it, this is the first time that the world media regards a Chinese player as one of the best candidates in the world, and it can be regarded as a milestone event worth remembering in Chinese football!
