685 Must win the Champions League

Although before the game, Yang Cheng still stubbornly stated that Real Madrid has the ability to defeat Chelsea in the away game and complete the reversal; although Real Madrid fans have repeatedly expressed their belief that the team will be able to win away from home; although Real Madrid players also continue to express that they have lost Kaka and Xavi? Alonso, the team can still beat Chelsea, although...

But when Real Madrid went straight to London with a 5-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao, there was still an atmosphere of pessimism throughout Europe. Even the reports and forecasts of Marca and Aspen, It seems that there is a little bit of sadness in Yishuihan, because everyone knows that it is actually difficult for Real Madrid to win away from home. M

Captain Raul vowed in an interview, Since everyone says that 100% Real Madrid cannot beat Chelsea, then we will give 150%, or even 200%, and we will fight for our lives at Stamford Bridge. We will use our best. Use all means to win a victory from the away game!

The game is going on as usual, replacing Kaká and Xavi? Raul and Granero, who started with Alonso, both performed very diligently. They were completely involved in the game from the first minute and went all out. Real Madrid also used their passes and runs again and again, pulling and chipping. Chelsea's defence.

Real Madrid continued to take the initiative and control the game, just like in the first round, launching a ferocious round of attacks and launching wave after wave of offensives, but Chelsea also built a set of iron walls. There is only pressure on Chelsea's goal but no danger.

Mascherano, who is known as Real Madrid's best top midfielder after Makelele, in this game he covered his defense zone to the front of Chelsea's penalty area, and he even played a kick in the game A very high-quality long shot, but Cech's outstanding performance prevented the Argentine midfielder's long shot from reaching the goal.

Raul is not only the captain of the team, not only a midfielder and attacker, but also a defender. He runs almost everywhere as if he has endless physical strength, but in fact , everyone can see that he is gritting his teeth and persisting.

And Ramos, and Arbeloa, and Villa, and David? Silva, Mata, Beckham, and Thiago? Silva, Pepe, Casillas...

When the game reaches the final stage, it is no longer just a technical and tactical confrontation. It is also a contest of blood and confidence between the two sides, because when there are no secrets from each other and the players' physical fitness has been severely exhausted, any All the techniques and tactics have lost their use.

Guti came on. He changed his past habit of being too lazy to run and started running around like Raul, looking for opportunities everywhere. He sent the ball into Chelsea's penalty area again and again, but he always failed again and again. be resolved, for he will discover,

There were people everywhere in there.

Originally everyone thought that in the second round, Chelsea played at home and got an ideal 0:0 away game. They should press out to attack and the scene should be more open. But in the end we found that we were all wrong. Mourinho's team has no intention of winning.

It seems that Mourinho knows very well that if he plays offense, Chelsea can't match Real Madrid, so he simply plays defense. It is also very dangerous for Real Madrid now, because although they control the initiative, Chelsea retreats on the third line. , the position and formation were kept very compact, and although Real Madrid exerted pressure, they could not create a threat.

If we can't find a way to break the situation on the field as soon as possible, and if this continues, the situation will become increasingly disadvantageous for Real Madrid.

Facing the menacing Real Madrid, Mourinho chose to give in. He continued to insist on away tactics at his home court without any hesitation. His tactics looked like 433, but in fact it could also be said to be 460, or even 460. 550, because Torres is rarely at the front.

Yang Cheng knows very well that Chelsea is waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, and this opportunity will appear as Real Madrid's physical exhaustion becomes more and more serious!

He has no choice but to continue attacking like this, because once he pulls back, once the team's momentum dies, Real Madrid will be finished!

If you work hard, you still have a chance to win. If you don’t work hard, you will only lose!

Good luck may not always be with him, and strength may not always bring victory. This is the personal experience of Yang Cheng, who has rich coaching experience, so he can accept it all.

It's just that he felt a little helpless, because a team with Torres, Malouda, and Joe? Cole, Lampard, Ashley? Chelsea, which has outstanding stars such as Karl, should play such negative football tactics. I can't say it is sad, I can only say helpless.

After all, the Champions League is a very real world. Winners and losers, black cats and white cats. The one that can catch mice is a good cat. As long as it can win, no matter what tactics are used, it is a good tactic and deserves respect!

After 90 minutes, it was still 0:0 and it entered overtime.

But at this time, the physical energy of the Real Madrid players who took the initiative to attack has been exhausted to the limit. Although the players gritted their teeth and persisted, in the end, mistakes will still occur!

…………

…………

Thiago? Silva could feel his legs shaking constantly due to fatigue!

Sweat dripped from the forehead to the corners of the eyebrows to the cheeks to the chin. It was already soaked there and stuck to the chest, which was a bit heavy!

Normally, he wouldn't care about such a weight at all, but at this moment, he felt that this jersey was so heavy that he couldn't bear it.

My throat felt like it was burning, and my mouth was so dry that it felt like it was about to burst. I wanted to swallow a mouthful of saliva, but found that there was only a tiny bit of sticky liquid left in my mouth. I couldn't swallow it. I wanted to wipe my dry lips with my tongue. , but found that my tongue and lips were almost as dry.

He didn't dare to look up to see the time because he was worried. After seeing the time, he felt relaxed.

The team's psychiatrist once told him that everyone will have the mentality of unconsciously wanting to relax, even if you work hard for 89 minutes, even if you look at the time and try your best to instill something in your brain. A state of mind that cannot relax, but your body is too tired and will still want to be lazy.

This is a conditioned reflex and people can’t control it at all!

Therefore, the best way is not to look, but to listen, listen to the whistle and listen to the shouts of teammates.

Everyone is a little tired, and some can't run. After all, 90 minutes of the game plus overtime, Real Madrid's players can't bear it even if their bodies are strong. Chelsea, too, they can't run anymore.

However, as the pressure exerted by Real Madrid on Chelsea weakened, the Blues began to show some signs of rebound, but they were not obvious.

Thiago? Silva's duty in this game is to watch Torres. He did a good job. Several counterattacks were made by Thiago? Silva was stopped and failed to pose a threat. While defending Torres, Thiago? Silva also actively participates in the defense and offense of the midfield, which gives him a large range of activities and serious physical exertion.

Head coach Yang Cheng said before the game that this game is no longer a confrontation of skills and tactics, nor a confrontation of team strength, but an all-round contest, and the winner belongs to the side with the fewest mistakes.

Chelsea's mentality is obviously the same, so they stick to the goal and penalty area, while Real Madrid has not made any mistakes so far, but continues to patiently look for opportunities.

However, sometimes, a tiny mistake may change the situation of the game.

Chelsea launched a counterattack, just like the previous counterattack, the ball was pushed into Real Madrid's half, Thiago? Silva saw Torres pulling out of the penalty area to receive the throw-in, and immediately came out and faced the Spaniard.

Even if he only moved a few steps, he could feel the muscles in his legs throbbing and trembling, and he almost collapsed from the force, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted, because he knew that the same was true for his teammates. After persevering, after 119 minutes of competition, everyone has reached their limit.

Torres cannot be turned around. This is a task assigned by Yang Cheng. The Spanish forward is poor at holding the ball with his back, but once he turns around and attacks with the ball from the front, the threat is completely different. So Thiago? Silva held Torres firmly, watching the Spaniard turn around, and blocked it with his right foot.

Torres staggered and passed, but the ball stayed.

The referee didn't blow the whistle. This was a very beautiful defense, Thiago? Silva felt relieved, and he subconsciously thought about counterattacking the opponent's counterattack.

However, when he was just about to take the ball out, a figure suddenly jumped out and poked the ball at his feet, directly knocking his ball away. This made him startled, almost instinctively and subconsciously. He turned around, and at this moment, he even wanted to reach out and pull the other person down.

Anyway, it's the front edge of the penalty area. If you pull the most, you'll be given a red card. It's better than the opponent facing the goal.

But it's too late!

Lampard just entered the penalty area after stealing the ball, and immediately took off and hit a ground ball volley. Casillas was a little unable to react in time, because he didn't think of Thiago? Silva will steal the ball and watch the ball go into the net, 1:0!

This is how a goal worth tens of thousands of dollars was born!

The tragedy is that Thiago has a dull look in his eyes? Silva completely became a green leaf for Lampard, who was cheering and celebrating like crazy. His trembling legs finally couldn't support his body and he fell on the court.

I want to cry, but there are no tears!

The game is over!

All the Real Madrid players fell on the grass at Stamford Bridge. No one had the heart to blame Thiago? Silva, because this is the Brazilian's only obvious mistake in the entire game so far, a mistake in the 119th minute, but the opponent seized the opportunity and scored!

The Brazilian knelt on the grass, holding his head, as if he was trying to get in, but he didn't sob. He just kept silent, with his head on the grass, maintaining a very awkward posture, as if he was punishing himself.

Raul walked on the court like a zombie, with his hands on his hips. He was unwilling to give in, but he also knew that his teammates had tried their best.

This is how football matches are, there is no eternal winner, and no one is guaranteed to win!

Attacking is always more difficult than defending, which is why there are so few goals in football games!

Compared with a year ago, this time no Real Madrid players cried because they could not bear the defeat. They all just sat silently. Slowly, they will accept this defeat. When the time comes, they will be stronger than now. .

As Yang Cheng said, losing means that our skills are inferior to others, so losing is not shameful. What is shameful is that we don’t know why we lost, and we never thought about winning!

A team that wants to win meets a team that doesn't want to lose. This will always be the most unanswerable problem in the world.

Yang Cheng stood on the sidelines, directing the game like this from beginning to end, with a serious face, silently looking at the players on the court. Real Madrid sitting on the ground became the background of Chelsea celebrating wildly. How ironic. It was a picture, but he forced himself to remember it!

Remember, you will become more motivated!

I told you, you have no chance! Mourinho would definitely not let go of this perfect opportunity to hit his opponent, so he walked over as soon as the game was over.

Yang Cheng snorted, a little forced and a little bitter, We will take revenge!

You said the same thing last year! Mourinho laughed.

Yang Cheng actually smiled now. He knew that Mourinho was deliberately trying to anger him. If he was angry, his wish would be fulfilled. Don't worry, you can't kill me in a semi-final, let's go on. Look!

Mourinho shrugged, Okay! and then walked over to celebrate with the players.

His Chelsea finally reached the final, which is really not easy after so many years!

This world is very realistic. No one will sympathize with the weak or pity the losers. They will only elevate the winners and trample the losers to death!

…………

…………

I have to bless Chelsea. They were very tenacious and worked very hard. They taught us a vivid lesson and made us realize our shortcomings. I don't think there is any problem with their victory!

At the post-match press conference, when interviewed by reporters, Yang Cheng generously expressed his affirmation of Chelsea's victory.

Everyone has their own pursuits. What is football like? Everyone has their own different views. It doesn't necessarily have to be offensive football to win. That is the victory of football. I think the development of football is more important. It’s about letting a hundred flowers bloom and maintaining diversity, so I’m also sure that Chelsea’s victory is a victory for football.”

I wouldn't say we didn't perform well. On the contrary, I think my players performed very well in both rounds, especially Thiago Silva. He is the best player in our team's defense. A stable player, I believe that after tonight’s game, he will become more mature and stable.”

Whatever you want to get, then pursue it. I think this is an eternal law in football. We not only want results, we also want more, so we have to pay more, but , even if we encounter setbacks and failures in this process, we will still grit our teeth and keep moving forward!”

“I firmly believe that persistence and hard work will definitely yield results!”

Yang Cheng's words received unanimous applause from the reporters at the scene, and even Mourinho couldn't help but nod.

Although the two have different coaching philosophies, this does not hinder Mourinho's complex emotions towards Yang Cheng as both a mentor and a life-and-death enemy.

Mr. Yang Cheng, everyone feels sorry that Real Madrid was eliminated by Chelsea in such a way. What do you think?

Yang Cheng shook his head, I don't think there is anything to regret. We lost because our skills were inferior to others. Only by admitting this will we not keep losing. Losing is losing, there is no need to make excuses!

But the 0:0 result in the first round, as well as Xavi Alonso and Kaká's injuries, have brought great difficulties to Real Madrid. Don't you think this is a very important reason for Real Madrid's away defeat?

A little! Yang Cheng nodded, But Raul and Granero also performed very well. We still firmly controlled the situation of the game. I can only say that the biggest reason why we lost this game was , our strength is not strong enough!”

But I don't think it's surprising that our average age is very low, we have a lot of young players, and we still have a lot of shortcomings, so I firmly believe that as the players grow and mature, our future will be better and better. powerful.

A reporter immediately stood up and asked with a smile: Mr. Yang Cheng, last year Real Madrid stopped in the top 8. You said that the team is young and lacks experience. This season, Real Madrid stopped in the top 4. You said the same thing. What about next year? ?”

Yang Cheng recognized that this was a media reporter who was close to Barcelona and smiled slightly, You also said that the top 16 last year, the top 8 last year, and the top 4 this year, according to the development trend of two consecutive years, Real Madrid will reach the finals next year , we will win the Champions League next year!”

The reporters below suddenly burst into an uproar, because no head coach has dared to boldly shout out when he will win the Champions League. The only one who dares to shout out such a slogan a season in advance is probably Yang Cheng. .

But Yang Cheng is not just talking casually, but considering the current situation of the team, he must set higher goals for the team, and at the same time give the players more motivation to play, so that they know what they want to do. And fight, give them hope and expectation.

It is indeed a bit early to shout such a slogan now, but it can minimize the impact of losing the Champions League semi-finals and allow the players to better devote themselves to the remaining games.

However, Yang Cheng could also predict that if they stopped in the semi-finals, the media would exaggerate Real Madrid's defeat. This group of guys who were afraid of chaos in the world would not easily let go of hype material like Real Madrid, so he shouted Using such a slogan can also divert the media to other places as much as possible, instead of blindly pursuing the responsibility for the loss of the game and bringing unnecessary pressure to the players.

After all, Real Madrid still has several league rounds and a century derby against Barcelona. This is a game that Yang Cheng and all Real Madrid players and fans are unwilling to lose.

The best thing is to vent your frustration in the Champions League on Barcelona!
