Chapter 460 Real Madrid Stumbled Into the Semi-Finals

It only took twelve days for Zhuo Yang to return to the training ground.

In fact, Zhuo Yang's internal organs were slightly injured, and his mouthful of blood was more due to the backlash he suffered after using An Jin. After vomiting, it was over. By focusing on breathing at home, it only takes ten days to fully recover.

Miguel Zendo also saved his life. He was wrapped as comfortably as a mummy and lying in the ICU. Real Madrid told the outside world that assistant coach Cendo suffered a car accident.

As for the reason why Zhuoyang was absent for ten days, the excuses were all ready-made, and they were just a recurrence of the 'thigh muscle strain' in Bayern's first round.

But these twelve days, Real Madrid experienced an extremely disappointing week. They were eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals.

In the El Clasico 12 days ago, Real Madrid drew with Barcelona 2:2 at Camp Nou. The game was passionate. Khedira and Ronaldo gave Real Madrid two leads in the away game. Sanchez and Pique gave Barcelona the lead. Two equalizers.

In the last minute of the game, Ronaldo had a chance to kill the game, but when he was close to the goal, he kicked the ball high, like a spy.

But a draw is indeed a blessing. Real Madrid is very satisfied. After all, they have been defeated once in the Nou Camp over the years. A draw is an improvement.

Before this season, Real Madrid had been defeated by Barcelona seven times in a row in all competitions. This season, including the Spanish Super Cup at the beginning of the season, there were six El Clasico games. Real Madrid won one, drew two, and lost three, and their results have improved significantly.

There was one win, one draw and one loss at home, and they finally got points in the away game, even in the absence of Zhuo Yang. It can't be said to be gratifying, but it is enough to make the team happy.

But four days later, Real Madrid, with Zhuoyang absent, lost to Bayern Munich at home at Santiago Bernabeu.

Compared with the first round at the Allianz Arena, the starting lineups of the two teams were only replaced by Alonso, while the other 21 players remained the same. In the first round, a total of 11 people from both sides received yellow cards, but no red cards appeared, which is a miracle. And these 11 yellow cards did not cause anyone to stop in the second round, which is simply strange.

Just like the national derby, Real Madrid played very bravely in the battle with Bayern. In the 6th minute, Alaba had a handball in the penalty area. Ronaldo defeated Neuer with a penalty kick, Real Madrid 1:0.

Then in the 14th minute, Bayern missed a man in the middle, Ronaldo scored a goal from a suspected offside position, and Real Madrid led 2:0. Cristiano Ronaldo also hit 10 goals in the Champions League this season, which is his personal record.

Everything indicated that Real Madrid would naturally eliminate Bayern and enter the final, but before the end of the first half, Robben's penalty kick tied the score to 1:2, making the air suddenly tense.

This is the achievement of Gomez, the troll. He was neither impatient nor impatient during the fight with Pepe, but he was always teasing and made endless small moves.

Pepe, who was so angry that he couldn't hold it back anymore, followed the hurtful movements and kicked the troll into the penalty area. As a result, the troll was not injured and continued to be active, and Pepe himself received a yellow card.

If you want to find a person who performed the worst in the first half, Pepe was still out of his turn, and Piggy was the laziest. The Bayern captain was equivalent to disappearing from the game.

For the two goals Bayern conceded, Xiaozhu was responsible for opening the center goal. If it hadn't been for Neuer's repeated saves, Bayern would not have been able to wait for the hope brought by Robben's penalty kick.

Xiaozhu, who has just entered the bottleneck, is in very poor condition. He takes the ball too much in the midfield and becomes a liability. Even if Bayern really plays less of him, it will not be worse than having him messing around.

But Eunuch Hai trusts Xiaozhu very much.

The little pig also repaid his trust with his clever mind.

After the start of the second half, Xiaozhu handed over the team's scheduling rights to the young Akwan Kroos. He no longer stuck to the center to cause trouble for Badstuber and Bolten behind him. He just kept playing in the two Filling in on the wing, not caring about the ball at all, making himself a mere screw.

Xiaozhu's proactive change and willingness to turn green leaves very well curbed the rampage of Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria on the two wings, greatly reducing the defensive pressure on Lahm and Alaba, and also allowing Akuang to play a brilliant game. A brilliant game.

Under Kroos's command and dispatch, Bayern played like Barcelona in the second half, firmly suppressing Real Madrid with ball control.

After the 60th minute of the game, Mourinho's stubborn rotation policy finally bore fruit at the most critical moment.

Whether in Porto, Chelsea or Inter Milan, Mourinho's rotation is very criticized. Most of the time, he completes the entire season with 11 main players and 2-3 substitutes.

After coming to Real Madrid, although Mourinho consciously sought changes, but with the pressure of performance without a championship, he never dared to let go of his rotation policy, let alone young players such as Carvajal, Morata, and Jese. Even strong players such as Dirty Dancing, Big Top, Granero, Callejon and Alonso are getting fewer and fewer competition opportunities.

As a result, at the end of the season, Real Madrid's main lineup, which had been fighting fiercely, had physical problems.

When it comes to physical fitness, it's not a big problem for one or two people, but if the entire lineup starts to play sparingly, it will be a big problem. Coupled with the fact that Bayern's tactics in the second half were extremely wrong, it seems unreasonable for Real Madrid to remain undefeated.

In the 66th minute, the trolls defeated Shui Ye and Pepe in a one-on-one fight in the penalty area and sent Akuan an open header. Kroos, who performed well, lived up to expectations and shot through Casillas to change the score. It became an absolutely fair 2:2.

In overtime, Real Madrid looked increasingly decadent. Even if Mourinho replaced Kaka, Higuain and Khedira in succession, the situation on the field could not be improved. Bayern quickly consumed Real Madrid with light movement and ball control. of spirit.

Eighty thousand fans at the Bernabeu shouted "Zhuo Yang", but Zhuo Yang hugged Kou Kou in the Crystal Palace. He stared at the increasingly unfavorable battle situation on the TV and could only smile bitterly.

In the 113th minute, Lahm and Cross cooperated and broke into the Real Madrid penalty area. Gomez acted as a bridge. Xiaozhu used his only shot in the corner of the penalty area to turn the score into 3:2.

The total score is 4:5. Real Madrid has finally improved a bit compared to last year. Last season they fell in the semifinals, and this season they fell in overtime in the semifinals.

After the game, Mourinho knelt on the sidelines and refused to get up for a long time.

Who can know the regret and annoyance in Mourinho's heart? He missed a very good opportunity this year, the only opportunity in football history to lead three teams to win the Champions League.

Mourinho, Hitzfeld and Dutch Happel are the only three people in the history of football who have led two different teams to win the Champions League. No head coach has ever achieved success three times in different places.

If Real Madrid reaches the final this year...

Barcelona, ​​Mourinho's biggest headache, was eliminated by Chelsea. Scar Ribery blocked the Bernabeu with one hand. Chelsea is one of Mourinho's favorite and most familiar teams. What's more, the Blues will have more red and yellow cards due to the accumulation of red and yellow cards. The four main players were unable to appear in the finals.
