king of world football

In the middle of another week after the match with Chelsea, Manchester City ushered in the final round of the Champions League group stage, and their opponent was the Celtics, who had no hope of qualifying.

Manchester City, who almost secured the top spot in the group, decisively used rotation to meet the enemy, and finally the two sides shook hands 1:1.

So far, all the top sixteen of the Champions League have been decided. Except for Tottenham, the Premier League teams have generally performed well. Arsenal and Leicester City have successfully passed.

La Liga, as always, occupies four strong seats, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Seville.

There are three teams in the Bundesliga, Bayern, Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, and two teams in the Serie A, Juventus and Naples.

Ligue [-] and Portuguese Super League also have two teams each entering the knockout round, they are Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco, Benfica and Porto.

The rest of the league's small clubs were wiped out and failed to create miracles.

After the lottery, Blue Moon happened to face Paris Saint-Germain, which also has a local tyrant temperament. This can't help but make people wonder whether UEFA can only tolerate a capital team to pass.

In any case, it is more cost-effective for Manchester City to get the first place in the group, and Paris is not as difficult as the traditional giants.

.........

Compared with the prosperous Blue Moon, the Galaxy Battleship has not had a good time during this period. After two draws and one loss in the league, they have fallen behind the leader Barcelona by as much as 9 points, and even ranked third after Atletico Madrid.

Such a big disadvantage is the first time in nearly 10 years!In particular, they are still losing in the strong dialogue with Barcelona, ​​which is even worse.

Many Spanish media asserted that Real Madrid's consecutive championship record will end at 10 times. Many areas in Catalonia can't wait to start singing and dancing. There is no way, they are suppressed too hard!

What makes the Galacticos fans sad is not only this, but the team also lost its invincible posture in the Champions League. It even lost to Dortmund twice and only qualified second in the group.

Although they advanced smoothly, the whole process undoubtedly cast a shadow on the championship, and they no longer have the confidence to say that they are overwhelming.

Except for the departure of Wang Feng and Yin Guayin, Real Madrid has almost completely retained the previous luxury lineup, and with the addition of Ronaldo and Benzema, it will not be too bad, right?

But the reality is that the striker who has high hopes can always strike hard when facing the underdogs, such as sweeping Sporting Gijon 7:0 and beating Deportivo 8:2.

However, it has repeatedly failed against strong opponents. Leaving aside Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it is difficult to break through the opponent's gate even when fighting against teams such as the Spaniard and Athletic Bilbao.

Sevilla midfielder Naris, who just defeated the Galaxy Battleship, said in an interview: "Real Madrid is definitely a strong team, but they are too bad at grasping opportunities."

"This can be seen clearly from the post-match statistics. They had the advantage on the field and created a total of 27 shots, but only 7 shots were on target."

"The attackers headed by Ronaldo are very impatient and try to shoot when there is a slight gap, regardless of the timing."

Having said that, Naris shrugged his shoulders: "To be honest, in the past we always faced the Galaxy Battleship with trepidation, because under Wang Feng's leadership, every time they attack, they are full of oppression and a sense of threat."

"But now we don't have that feeling, and we still have enough time to think about how to organize a counterattack, and everything becomes easier."

"In addition, because the frontcourt seldom drops back to participate in the defense, I think Real Madrid's defensive strength is not as strong as imagined. Facts have proved this. After several impacts, we successfully scored goals."

The 62-year-old Argentine coach Sampaoli only took over the coach of the Basin Legion from Emery this summer. He has helped the team break into the top [-] of the Champions League and defeated the Galacticos.

He said frankly: "Real Madrid is not terrible, at least the team I played against is not terrible. Even though they have a lot of talents in the front, midfield and backcourt, they cannot be condensed into a whole."

"Although Sevilla's statistics are overall behind, there is one thing that stands out, and that is the running distance. We are much higher than our opponents, and it is this advantage that helps the team win."

"I just came into contact with La Liga, and I haven't experienced the era of the invincible Real Madrid dynasty, but it is certainly not what it is today."

"I remember watching the Champions League final that left a deep impression on me. Wang Feng, who ran all over the court, not only drove all the defensive forces to create opportunities for his teammates, but also frequently intercepted threats and attacks. That Galaxy battleship is really scary!"

.........

The interviews with Sevilla's coaches and players were quickly reprinted and reported by the media all over Spain, which aroused great repercussions.

Many people think they are justified, and even the mouthpieces of Real Madrid "Marca" and "Aspen" also feel that there is a problem with the club.

The players are not motivated enough on the court, the transition between offense and defense is sluggish, and the offensive efficiency is low.

Especially the offensive issue, "Marca" stated that although Ronaldo currently ranks second in the La Liga scorer list with 11 goals, second only to Messi's 2 goals.

But his total number of shots has been as high as 63 times, with an average of only one goal every 5.7 shots.

Leaving aside the fact that Wang Feng scored a goal every 1.7 shots, Messi also scored a goal every 3.6 shots, far higher than the efficiency of the Portuguese star.

"C Ronaldo must make changes. While creating opportunities for the team, he must also hold his breath. In some difficult situations, it is not necessary to force the goal."

"Damn it, the Sevilla gang still want to kill people? Is it really possible for Real Madrid to counterattack?" In the Valdebebas training base, Ronaldo threw his phone to the ground angrily.

Many teammates were taken aback. Kroos, Casemiro and others looked on coldly. Ramos put away his usual giggling face and remained silent. Modric hesitated whether he should go forward to comfort the Portuguese.

After a moment of embarrassment, Pepe stood up to appease Ronaldo: "Ronnie, you don't have to get angry with them. You just took advantage of the home court advantage and backed away to steal three points. When they come to the Bernabeu, they will teach them a lesson."

The Portuguese star forcibly suppressed his irritability, forced his teammates to come over with a smile, and talked about Kang’s passionate words of encouragement to encourage everyone. It’s not time to give up, everything is possible.

The reason why he is eager to perform is for the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer selection at the end of the year. This is the time when Ronaldo is closest to double awards!

In order to brush up the data, he did not hesitate to force shots on the field many times, and entrusted his agent Mendes to put pressure on the club, and he must use all resources to help him.

In the chairman's office on the top of the administrative building of the training base, Florentino rubbed the corner of his eyes and said helplessly, "Mendez is still working hard?"

"Yes, besides us, he has also found many high-level officials. I have to say that Mendes is very well-informed and knows the power in our hands." Valdano replied.

"Then he should understand that we can only contribute to the flames at best, and absolutely can't turn things around!" Florentini said angrily, "The club has used all its connections for this shit, and risked breaking with Wang Feng, it is simply ridiculous Already!"

"Wang should be able to understand our difficulties. After all, Cristiano is now the core of the Galacticos, and we have to fully support him."

"Yeah, he has always been very smart, of course he can understand, but understanding and acceptance are two different things, the most fearful thing is that if things fail, both sides will be offended, alas!"
