Season 2: Caesar's City] 628 Push them off the cliff!

----------

628 Push them off the cliff!

On the evening of March 18, at 19:00 sharp, Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

In the 27th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Tarragona at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Because one day ago, Barcelona beat Huelva 4:0 in an away game and successfully got out of the low ebb of the Derby of the Century. Everyone focused their attention on this game at the Bernabeu, because if Real Madrid loses, what will be brought about by the Derby of the Century? The victory and momentum that comes will become useless.

Yang Cheng used the team's strongest starting lineup in this game. The goalkeeper is Casillas, and the defense is Marcelo, Cannavaro, Ramos and Arbeloa, with double midfielders. It's Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, David Silva plays on the left, Raul occupies the center, Beckham plays on the right, and Villa serves as the lone forward.

From the beginning of the game, Real Madrid moved forward to press Tarragona's formation, especially the two full-backs. Marcelo knew that Yang Cheng's purpose of using him was to take advantage of his offensive advantage, so he After that, he played very resolutely and moved forward very decisively.

In the 6th minute, Arbeloa intercepted the ball in the midfield and passed it to Beckham. The latter launched a long diagonal pass from the right, lobbed the ball over the opponent's entire defense and landed in the penalty area. At the front, Villa successfully countered offside. After inserting into the penalty area, he shot past Tarragona goalkeeper Bisarri and opened the scoring for Real Madrid, 1:0!

Three minutes later, another long pass from Xavi Alonso over the head caused Villa to successfully counter the offside. After getting the ball at the front of the penalty area, he formed a single goal, but the opponent's main center back Cesar Navas took action to beat him. Pulled down, the referee judged it as a tactical foul and was sent off with a direct red card!

This penalty undoubtedly completely reversed the situation on the scene, making Real Madrid, which already had the advantage, become even more brutal.

But with one less person to fight, Tarragona has also become more conservative. Everyone is camping at the front of the penalty area to prevent Real Madrid from attacking. The goal of this La Liga team, currently the last one at the Bernabeu, is not to score points, but to let themselves Don't lose so ugly.

But in the 39th minute, Xabi Alonso's long shot, and in the 43rd minute, Raul was fouled after taking the ball, and Beckham's direct free kick allowed Real Madrid to lock the score at 3:0 in the first half. !

In the second half, the side changed again. Yang Cheng adjusted the team's tactics and asked Beckham to return to the midfielder position. David Silva played as the attacking midfielder. Raul was pushed to the front line. At the same time, the two wingers also had to play. Positive pressure.

This adjustment allowed Real Madrid to score another goal in the 59th minute. It was a through ball that Silva got rid of after getting the ball in the middle. It helped Raul get a chance at the front of the penalty area, hit the goal with his kick, and once again broke through Bisari. The goal, 4:0!

In the 60th minute, Yang Cheng replaced Silva with Guti and Arbeloa with Granero. Ramos went to the right and Mascherano trailed behind, setting off a frenzy again. Attack momentum.

Granero, Xabi Alonso and Beckham are all players with excellent passing organization. They took turns sending cannonballs into the threatening area after driving 32 meters, while Guti found every opportunity in the opponent's dense defense. With the opportunity, Real Madrid's offensive became very fierce, and Tarragona was so suppressed that everyone retreated into their own penalty area.

In the 78th minute, Raul received a pass from Guti and headed the ball back to the middle. Villa fell to the ground and scored with a shovel, 5:0!

Just 3 minutes later, an indirect free kick from Beckham was passed by Cannavaro. Guti shot in the middle. The opponent's center back David Garcia blocked the ball into his own goal and turned it into an own goal. 6:0!

After that, Real Madrid continued their offensive, but in the end they failed to expand the score again. They defeated Tarragona 6-0 at the Bernabeu.

Although the bloodbath in Tarragona at home was a bit inferior to Barcelona's away victory against Huelva, Real Madrid fans were still satisfied with the team's current performance. They applauded and sang praises in the stands.

Throughout the game, Real Madrid put enough pressure on the opponent and always took the offensive initiative. Tarragona did not even have an effective offensive opportunity in the entire game, let alone score Real Madrid's goal.

However, this team that is ranked last in La Liga and is about to be relegated is not strong enough. Yang Cheng feels that such a victory is difficult to convince.

After this game, La Liga was suspended and two weeks of European Cup qualifiers ushered in. However, the day after Real Madrid finished the Tarragona game, Barcelona held a press conference.

…………

…………

I want to say that all the rumors about Barcelona are untrue!

In the press conference hall of Camp Nou, facing media and reporters from all over the world who had heard about the news, Chairman Laporta made an official clarification for the first time. This was after the Derby of the Century, and there were widespread demands from the outside world. Barcelona's first clarification comes amid strong calls for Jaccard's dismissal.

Rijkaard is a very good head coach. I still remember that when he came to the team in 2003, he also encountered a very serious crisis of trust just like today, but he finally helped the team win the championship. The first championship trophy in ten years, and he has done a great job with the team in the past few years, we have no reason to doubt his contribution to Barcelona.

Laporta is not reading a manuscript. In fact, he is famous for his ability to speak as a lawyer. Back then, he persuaded Barcelona fans with just one mouth. He used the fame of Yang Cheng, Beckham and others to climb up the ladder. The position of president of Barcelona.

We must clarify to the outside world that all rumors about Rijkaard leaving the team in the summer are false. We still have a contract with Rijkaard. Regardless of the final result of this season, he will continue to stay. The team and he has told me time and time again that he wants to stay at Barcelona.

After hearing this, the reporters below couldn't help but wonder, what on earth is Barcelona doing?

Why are there so many calls for Rijkaard to be sacked, but Laporta still wants him to stay?

Is it just because he has brought Barcelona several league championship trophies over the years?

If this can also be a reason to keep the head coach, it can only be said that Laporta is challenging everyone's IQ.

In addition to Rijkaard, players such as Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Messi, and Iniesta will also stay in the team. All rumors about the club selling players are false. , We currently have not reached any agreement with any club, and all private contacts with players will definitely come with a price!

The player with the most rumors now is undoubtedly Ronaldinho. First, his brother and agent met Galliani, and recently he went to Milan and was photographed meeting Berlusconi. The media said that Ronaldinho will appear in Milan after the summer.

If this is just an external trouble, then the internal worry is that many people on the Barcelona board are dissatisfied with the current situation. The Champions League was double beaten by Liverpool and the El Clasico was humiliatingly defeated by Real Madrid. This has made Barcelona feel frustrated from top to bottom. Becoming very agitated.

When a Barcelona vice-chairman was interviewed by a newspaper before, he even yelled to get out if he didn't want to play, and also used swear words, which shows the current atmosphere within the team.

And Eto'o is also dissatisfied with Rijkaard's move to replace him and support Ronaldinho. He is a big-mouthed man who frequently blasts the media, completely exposing the team's problems. This is not only This made Barcelona fans dissatisfied and made the locker room very unhappy with him. Puyol was the first to stand up and accuse Eto'o of being irresponsible.

The problem of Messi and Iniesta is relatively simple. As Barcelona youth training, their scandals with other teams are more to provide bargaining chips for their contract renewals. They hope to use competition from the outside world to create enough for the club. The pressure forced the club to make maximum concessions on the contract renewal.

We have previously formulated a recruitment strategy with Rijkaard, and we are also following this strategy for recruitment and transfer. We expect to transfer 5-7 players this summer, but our purge It will not involve the framework of the team’s main players or the substitute players that the head coach is optimistic about.”

At the same time, in terms of signings, we will also initially determine that we will introduce one or two heavyweight top stars, plus two or three powerful players. To this end, our club has formulated a transfer fee budget of up to 80 million euros. , This will undoubtedly make our team’s lineup more competitive next season.”

For our own players such as Messi and Iniesta, we will also seize the time to renew their contracts to ensure their future in the team, but what we can guarantee is that they will definitely stay at Camp Nou because they follow the football The team still has a long-term contract until 2010, and they are the backbone players of the team in the future.

The media present were a little surprised by Laporta's words, because everyone can feel that Barcelona is obviously going to make a large-scale reorganization of the team's lineup, and superstars such as Ronaldinho will undoubtedly It is the core component of the team's reorganization.

Laporta said that Barcelona will invest 80 million euros in transfer fees. If you include sales, the investment is expected to be nearly 100 million. This will also be Barcelona's largest investment in a season in recent years.

…………

…………

It seems that Barcelona has been driven crazy by us!

In Valdebebas and Yang Cheng's office, the coaching staff watched this program on TV and saw the whole story of Laporta's press conference. Everyone was using a relatively relaxed attitude. attitude towards this issue.

Before, they always used big investments to tease us, but now they are increasing their investment. It seems they are really being pushed into a hurry! Redondo smiled the happiest man, even though he once helped Barcelona for two consecutive seasons. Defeated Real Madrid and allowed Barcelona to win the La Liga championship, but his favorite was Real Madrid.

There is something worth pondering... Yang Cheng frowned, looked at the TV, smiled slightly, and analyzed: ...Since the transfer plan has been made long ago, and since everything has not changed, why not Rijkaard stood up and clarified when he was most strongly questioned, but why should he wait until now?

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded.

I think it's not that Barcelona hasn't thought about letting Rijkaard go out of class. It can even be said that Laporta has decided to let Rijkaard go out of class. But in the process, what problems did they encounter that forced Rijkaard to go out of class? Jaccard stays on the team!

What could be the problem? Paul Bayer asked, thinking that Yang Cheng's analysis made sense.

How do I know? This guy said directly, If I knew, then I would be God!

Everyone was immediately amused.

Barcelona are clearly in disarray now, we should take advantage of them and push them again!

Benitez nodded and added, Push them directly off the cliff!

Yang Cheng couldn't help but smile, but reminded: But we can't always focus on Barcelona. It's useless to focus on Barcelona now. They are the leaders and we are lagging behind. We must try our best to win every game. , Only in this way can we have a chance of winning.

Many chasers like to focus on the leader. In fact, this approach is ridiculous, because it can easily make you misjudge the situation. What chasers should do most is to be the best version of themselves and strive to win every game. Come on, that's serious.

However, for Real Madrid, the 28th round of the league two weeks later will not be easy at all, because many Real Madrid players are currently participating in the national team competition, such as David Silva and Awe who have performed very eye-catching this season. Loya was selected for the Spanish national team.

In addition to these two players, plus Casillas, Ramos, Xavi Alonso and Villa, six Real Madrid players suddenly appeared in the Spanish national team, which somewhat affected Real Madrid's preparations. And Yang Cheng also laughed and joked that if Spain loses to Denmark in a key match, the Barcelona media will definitely rely on Real Madrid, because they always say that if Real Madrid has more international players, Spain's record will always be bad. God knows what this means. One thing.

What's even more tragic is that the Spanish Football Association even arranged this game to be played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, which made the Barcelona media even more dissatisfied. They even became pessimistic before the game.

Facts have proved that Yang Cheng's worries were unnecessary.

…………

…………

Even before the game, the media from Real Madrid and Barcelona started a war. A big reason for the war was whether Raul should be selected, because the Real Madrid captain has fully recovered this season and is currently playing in various competitions. He scored 18 goals and was the team's second-leading scorer after Villa.

But in the end, Aragones did not choose Raul, but he allowed Villa to continue Real Madrid's No. 7 tradition.

In Spain, No. 7 has always had a special meaning. Butragueno and Juanito are further away, and Raul is closer. They all have very comprehensive skills, outstanding personal abilities, and they all have very comprehensive skills and outstanding personal abilities. He is from Real Madrid, so No. 7 has always been labeled as his personal favorite by Real Madrid fans.

Raul was not selected, and the whereabouts of the No. 7 jersey caused considerable controversy.

But just after Aragones announced the squad, Raul knew that he had not been selected. When he was interviewed by reporters, he said, If Villa wears the No. 7 jersey, I will not be jealous at all, because in In my opinion, he is the best striker in this national team and he has the ability to shoulder this responsibility.

Sure enough, Villa put on the No. 7 jersey in the game and continued his excellent form at the club. He played very actively from the beginning, first knocking back David Silva in the 35th minute. Helping the latter assist Morientes to open the scoring, and then he scored another goal in the final moments of the first half.

Spain finally defeated Denmark 2:1 and stopped the decline.

In Spain's starting lineup for this game, Real Madrid has a strong color. The goalkeeper is Casillas, the right back is Arbeloa, the center back is Ramos partnering Puyol, the left back is Capdevila, and the center back is Ramos. On the field are David Silva, Xavi Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta, and the forwards are Morientes and Villa.

Real Madrid's 6 players all started together. If you include Morientes, there are 7. Aragones said this is because Real Madrid players are more familiar with the Bernabeu Stadium.

In fact, in the game, the performance of this group of Real Madrid players was indeed good, but it was also unsatisfactory, especially in the midfield. Xabi Alonso and Silva cooperated more tacitly. Star and Xavi formed another faction, and they both tended to control the ball and organize, and lacked defensive players.

After the game, Yang Cheng met with Aragones in his office at the Bernabeu. The two had a long conversation in Yang Cheng's office, but no one was willing to disclose the content of their conversation. .

I'm complaining to him. He played six Real Madrid players for the whole game at once. This will make us encounter difficulties in the next league. I hope he can think more about Real Madrid.

When Yang Cheng was interviewed by the media, he changed the subject with a smile.

But unfortunately, he is a very stubborn person. I can't convince him, but I believe that he will succeed in Spain because he has a very clear plan and a very wise decision. He knows how to That’s how to win a game.”

After playing against Denmark at the Bernabeu, the Spanish national team moved to Mallorca, where they welcomed Iceland.

Aragones still arranged for all six Real Madrid players to start, with Morientes also serving as the starting center. In the end, Spain defeated Iceland 1:0 and won two consecutive victories. However, there was still a lot of pressure to qualify from the group. big.

But Real Madrid players also played 180 minutes in these two consecutive games. If you include Beckham, Cannavaro and Thuram who all played the entire game in England, Italy and France, it has been two consecutive weeks. The national team competition has indeed had a huge impact on Real Madrid.

Of course, it is undeniable that Barcelona has also been affected, but the 28th round of their league is at home, but Real Madrid is going to challenge Celta Vigo away. Undoubtedly, Real Madrid's schedule will be more severe.

It is precisely because of the players' physical crisis, especially after returning from the national team game that they did not have enough time to rest before returning to the league, so Yang Cheng had to play in the game against Celta Vigo. Large-scale rotation to ensure the team's subsequent combat effectiveness.

But at Celta's Paraídos Stadium, Real Madrid couldn't attack for a long time, but in the 46th minute, in first-half stoppage time, Celta succeeded in counterattacking, 1:0!
