Chapter 260： Real Madrid Fan Protection Association?

.., the strongest demon front

Like Real Madrid, Barcelona is determined to achieve good results in the Champions League. Especially if the league champions have a high probability of belonging to them.

At the end of the 28th round of the league, the time for the giants to enter the Champions League again.

In the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Barcelona and Real Madrid won the match. On February 1st, at their home stadium in Arsenal, Emirates Stadium, they defeated the Premier League giants Arsenal with a score of 2: 0 and took the initiative to advance to the quarterfinals.

Other games.

In the second round of the quarter-finals, four games were played on March 8 and 9, including Real Madrid vs. Rome; and Barcelona vs Arsenal, along with the remaining four matches It is scheduled to take place on March 15 and 16.

In the first round at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, with the help of Chu Ge's hat-trick, Real Madrid beat Roma 4: 1.

Now, in the second round of competition, their pressure is not great. As long as they don't lose a 0: 4, they can definitely advance to the next round of the Champions League.

In history, is there an example of winning 4: 1 in the first round and then being eliminated?

The answer is yes.

In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2004, AC Mila defeated A Coruna 4-1 in the first leg.

Ac Milan at the time was star-studded, goalkeeper Dida; defenders Maldini, Nesta, Cafu, Pancaro; midfielders Seedorf, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka; forward Shevchenko , Inzaghi. The team lineup is not inferior to the strength and Real Madrid today.

In the league, they won Inter Milan, Lazio, Palma, Juventus, Sampdoria in a row; in the Champions League, they played two consecutive 4: 1 games, which can be described as hot in good condition.

In addition, ac Milan is one of the best teams in the Champions League. Ac Milan was one of the most popular teams in the Champions League that season.

However, in the second round, Super Laco became famous in the first round.

In the second round, A Coruña broke out, and their short and quick style of play instantly killed Ancelotti's team.

4: 0!

An epic reversal.

Even miracles, or miracles, that God didn't think of, came into being.

At that time, no one expected that the strongest team in the Champions League would end the journey of the Champions League with such a disgrace.

Therefore, before this match with Rome, "Marca" repeatedly reminded Real Madrid, don't underestimate Rome, don't overturn the boat in the gutter.

Real Madrid lost to the Italian team, but there is tradition.

"Marca" made statistics, Real Madrid has been 29 years, has not eliminated the Italian team in the two rounds of knockout.

What is the concept of twenty-nine years?

Twenty-nine years ago, Ronaldo was still a two-year-old child, and Messi was just born ...

In 1987, Real Madrid eliminated Maradona's Naples.

That was the last time they defeated a team from Italy in a two-round knockout.

After that, Real Madrid lost twice to Milan (1988-89, 1989-90), once to Turin (1991-1992), and four times to Juventus (1995-96, 2002-03, 2004- 05, 2014-15), and Rome also defeated Real Madrid in the knockout (2007-08).

This is Real Madrid's "Italian Curse".

This year is their best chance to break this spell.

Either get rid of the curse, or set up the Real Madrid Fan Protection Association, anyway, it will set a record ...

Before the game, good news came from Valdebebas.

Modric and Marcelo recovered from their injuries.

This season, Real Madrid's injuries have been constant, which has also caused fans to question the team's medical team. Fortunately, with the exception of Bell and Benzema, who is recovering from injury, the other players did not spend much time from injury to recovery.

In a sense, this guarantees the stability of the team's lineup. (Bell: ...)

On the evening of March 8, Bernabeu.

Nearly 80,000 fans crowded Santiago Bernabeu.

The Real Madrid League has a very high attendance rate. Since Zidane has coached, the number of people at home has not fallen below 60,000. However, compared with the Champions League, the number of spectators in the league is not enough.

The appeal of the Champions League for Real Madrid fans is evident from this.

Especially because the league has lagged behind Barcelona, ​​the Champions League has almost become the hope of the whole village. In this case, there will be absolutely no failures in every Champions League game at Real Madrid.

This game, Zidane continued his new ideas in the league.

Casemiro started again.

This is the first time the Fat Tiger has started in the Champions League under Zidane.

Due to Benzema's absence, Cristiano Ronaldo became the center of the team, Bell and Hames left and right, Chu Ge sat on the bench and stood by.

The continuous competition made Chu Ge feel tired.

In this game, Zidane continued to rotate. He made Bell, who had been on a long paid holiday, debut, and his partner's playing time was squeezed by Chu Ge.

Modric, who also recovered from injury, partnered with Cross in the midfield, and Marcelo was also the starter.

It can be said that in the first half of the start, Real Madrid basically sent the most expensive lineup, and it is also the strongest lineup in the minds of many media.

However, this lineup is not working well.

In the first half, neither Real Madrid nor Roma were able to score, and the two teams made a 0: 0 draw.

At halftime, Zidane fell into the long exam.

He found several problems.

Casemiro's debut liberated Cross and Modric. These two players can devote more energy to organizing offense.

And Hames is also an attacking player.

Especially after Modric's position premise, the functions of the two have overlapped, and the running positions often overlap.

This has weakened Real Madrid's attack to some extent ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This is a problem.

How to solve this problem, Zidane currently has no good way.

The easiest way is definitely to replace Hames and Chuge or Vazquez.

But this method is too simple and rough, and it is easy to intensify the team's conflicts.

Smart coaches need to play the role of each player, not to mention that Hames is talented, and the club is introduced with high salaries and high prices. Zidane does not want to give up so easily.

Another problem is that Bell does not adapt on the left, and his role with Marcelo overlaps somewhat.

The left-hand Bell overlaps with Marcelo ’s role, and the right-hand Hamesnich squeezes Modric ’s space. This exposes the problem that in the new tactical system of Zidane, the Real Madrid players ’tactical division , Their respective responsibilities are not clear.

After understanding this, Zidane knew what to do.
