Chapter 745: Vicious Circle

On April 4, in the 16rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Getafe away.

Just after a Champions League battle, many main players entered the head coach rotation strategy, and Ramos led the starting lineup wearing the captain's armband.

The strength gap between the two teams is relatively obvious, and the visiting team can still occupy a relatively large advantage.

Just 3 minutes into the game, Jesse opened the scoring for Real Madrid, and then Isco dribbled the ball in the frontcourt to throw away two defenders and broke into the penalty area. He hit a volley with his left foot, and the Galacticos expanded their lead.

In the 37th minute, the visiting team got a free kick in the front court. Kovacic hoisted the ball into the hinterland to create chaos. Nacho, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, jumped out and headed it into the goal, 3: 0!

After changing sides, Varane and Cheryshev made contributions respectively. The home team only scored a goal to save face at the last moment of the game.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Getafe 5:1.

Facts have proved that as long as the head coach is not too big, the depth of the Galaxy Battleship's bench is still considerable. With the leadership of experienced veterans, many young players can play their respective good standards.

In contrast, Barcelona is in a trough. They seem to have not yet emerged from the shadow of the Nou Camp defeat.

The Catalan team not only lost in the UEFA Champions League, but also achieved two consecutive losses in the following two rounds of the league. The standings changed from leading Real Madrid by 2 points to 4 points behind and tied with Atletico Madrid. The ball advantage ranks second.

Another last minute crash!We must know that Barcelona once led the Galacticos by as much as 7 points at the peak, and the fans believed that this season must be the best chance to break the monopoly of the archenemy and defeat Wang Feng.

As a result, the two century derby defeats brought them back to their original form, and the team will always lose the chain at critical moments.

Many analysts believe that Barcelona's midfield has great flaws. With the end of the Habbai era, although the management has continued to introduce top players, it has never solved this problem.

There are a lot of superstars on the offensive end, but the defense is riddled with holes. There is no way to make more room for reinforcement when the salary is seriously unbalanced.

Then a vicious cycle, the depth of the bench is not enough, and young players with little experience are frequently promoted to enter the first team and even start, resulting in many low-level mistakes, resulting in losing the game.

This is not a problem that a player or a coach can solve at all, but a low-level manifestation of the entire management.

"We are very worried that even if Wang Feng leaves La Liga and Real Madrid, can Barcelona really get out of the trough immediately and regain their former glory?"

.........

In the next two league rounds in April, Real Madrid won their opponents steadily and did not give competitors an opportunity. They defeated Villarreal 4-3 at home, and the Chinese superstar scored twice.

The away game beat Rayo Vallecano 3:2. Wang Feng, who came off the bench, contributed 1 assist to help the team reverse at the last moment.

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City was an away game. Blue Moon coach Manuel Pellegrini obviously studied the Galacticos in detail.

He arranged for Fernando, Yaya Toure and Fernandinho to start the game in order to contain Real Madrid's powerful midfielder.

These three players are all tall midfielders who are quite experienced in fighting interceptions.

On the offensive end, Aguero, Sterling and Ronaldo lead the way. Although it is a home game, Manchester City still focuses on stability. After all, Real Madrid scored a lot in the past few games. Don't dare to be too big.

The process of the game was very dull, the midfield battle between the two sides was very tragic, the possession of the ball changed hands frequently, and no one could do anything to the other until the last moment.

The score remained at 0:0 when the final whistle sounded. The Manchester City coach's defensive strategy was effective, but the offensive end was somewhat unsatisfactory. This score is not conducive to the Blue Moon who is about to go to the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid has a slight advantage in the ball possession rate with 58.7%. Due to the melee in the midfield, they have few opportunities to threaten the hinterland. They mainly rely on Wang Feng's personal ability to attack.

Among the 8 shots, Wang Feng contributed 5 of them, and the most threatening shot was pushed out by the fingertips of goalkeeper Joe Hart who was brave.

Manchester City had fewer shots, only 6 times. It is worth mentioning that in the 79th minute, Ronaldo forced a breakthrough from the side and sent a wonderful cross, but Sterling sent the ball to the stands.

The Portuguese went mad on the spot and rushed to roar in front of his teammates, which almost caused an infighting accident. Fortunately, Aguero stopped between the two in time.

This is not the first time the two have had conflicts on the court. According to "Sky Sports", as early as last season, Ronaldo was very dissatisfied with Sterling's offensive efficiency and often wasted excellent opportunities, so he repeatedly criticized him in front of other teammates. .

The England striker was also embarrassed from the beginning, gradually accumulated resentment, and finally became impatient.

The main reason for detonating this bomb is Manchester City's poor league performance this season. After losing streak at the beginning of the season, they are currently ranked third.

The proud Portuguese star is naturally very anxious, especially after the FIFA annual awards ceremony, he turned from private to public criticism of Sterling, "He is not worthy of being a forward, I think he should be a defender, he must be able to make a rescue. "

In the duel with Leicester City, because the Englishman missed an excellent opportunity to equalize the score, Ronaldo fired at him directly in the stadium after the game.

This time Sterling did not choose to remain silent, but instead responded: "Shut up, don't point fingers and pretend to be a senior, you will never catch up with Messi!"

Such remarks undoubtedly deeply hurt Ronaldo's heart. He knew that he could not compare with Wang Feng, but he would never be inferior to anyone else. The only thing he lacked was a top stage and top teammates.

Messi?It's just relying on Habubai and relying on the man-made stars supported by Barcelona's powerful system. Ronaldo feels that if he puts himself in the position of the Argentine, he will definitely not be suppressed by the Galaxy battleship led by Wang Feng for ten years.

The Portuguese star couldn't help thinking more and more, it was you pig teammates who dragged me down, no matter in Manchester United or Manchester City, so he couldn't stand it anymore and gave Sterling a fist on the spot.

Immediately, the two wrestled together, and the surrounding teammates hurried forward to persuade them to fight. Fortunately, they had already entered the locker room at this time, otherwise it would really become a big scandal if they were photographed by the media.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Soon this news was reported and caused an uproar. The club's emergency public relations kept everyone silent. They neither admitted nor denied, hoping to eliminate the influence of public opinion as soon as possible.

Head coach Manuel Pellegrini couldn't handle this kind of superstar-related problem at all. After high-level intervention, no one was punished. Only Ronaldo apologized to Sterling in front of all the players for the beating.

On the surface everything was calm, but the atmosphere in Manchester City's locker room fell to the bottom.
