Chapter 173 It’s Time to Go All in, Real Madrid Is Going All in for the Championship! [Please Subscribe, Guys! ]
Li Ang had a great time on his 22nd birthday.
The team won on April 5, and Mourinho gave him a day off the next day, so he invited all his teammates and coaches to a party.
There were still no media reporters at the scene, but Li Ang took a lot of interesting pictures of his birthday party this year and posted them on social media.
Whether it was foreign social media or Weibo in China, Li Ang received countless birthday wishes.
It was impossible to reply to each one, so Li Ang sent a separate tweet and Weibo to thank the fans for their love and blessings after the party.
It was already past seven in the morning when the domestic fans saw Weibo.
When Li Ang's party ended and he went to rest at night, the topic of Li Ang's 22nd birthday was still being discussed enthusiastically in China.
There is no way, Chinese people love young heroes.
At Li Ang's age, he would have just graduated from college in China. He may not be considered a teenager, but he is definitely young.
As for heroes,
At the age of 22, he has won two European top league titles, seven cup titles, including the Champions League.
And at present, Li Ang will soon win his third top league title.
With such achievements, how can he not be called a hero in Chinese football?
With the official publicity buff, Li Ang is now the first high-quality young idol in China.
That size and traffic are not something that the young stars in the entertainment industry can touch.
Generally speaking, when it is so popular, the parties and the teams involved are somewhat nervous.
After all, people who are famous are prone to gossip, and it is human nature to be afraid of being exposed for their black history.
But the domestic team hired by Mendes is not afraid at all. They stand at the forefront to promote Li Ang, and they are as ostentatious as they can be.
Why are they so bold? It's because there is really no black spot to dig up about Li Ang!
Once a reporter went to the school where Li Ang studied in elementary school and the first grade of junior high school to ask the teachers, and the results were all uniformly good.
The reporters who were not willing to give up went to ask the young students who had been classmates with Li Ang.
Finally, they dug out a "black material" that Li Ang had blocked the door of other classes to fight.
After a careful investigation, they found out that Li Ang stood up for the bullied classmates in his class at that time, blocked the door of other classes one-on-many, and beat those bullies.
Well, after these materials were reported, Li Ang was praised by netizens as expected.
What's a few fights? Who didn't fight when they were young? The key is that Li Ang didn't bully others, and fighting was also to help his classmates get justice.
After Li Ang went abroad, his performance in foreign schools and youth training camps has now been dug up and reported by foreign media.
With excellent academic performance, he was successfully selected from the youth training camp of Getafe to join the Real Madrid La Fabrica. Isn't he a template for young talents?
If you have to say that there is a black spot on Li Ang now, it is that he has too little contact with the opposite sex!
Yes, when the young handsome men in China are full of scandals, Li Ang's shortcoming is that he is too close to women.
With such self-discipline, what is there for Li Ang's domestic publicity team to fear?
As long as they don't flatter Li Ang, they will be invincible.
After this hot search, Li Ang's domestic team did not forget to call on the people to pay more attention to Real Madrid's recent games.
After the next round of Manchester United, if nothing unexpected happens, Real Madrid will enter the top four of this season's Champions League.
There are only eight rounds left in the La Liga. Real Madrid has one less game and still has nine rounds to play.
But the decision of victory or defeat may be in the near future. Now it is not about whether Real Madrid can be stable, but whether Barcelona can be stable.
If Barcelona fails again, Real Madrid should sprint with all their strength and strive to end the suspense of this year's league in early May.
In just about this month, Li Ang may win the tenth championship of his career at any time.
The tenth, this number is very commemorative, and domestic fans certainly don't want to miss this important moment.
So under the intensive and massive publicity, Real Madrid's game has once again set off a viewing frenzy in China.
On the evening of April 9, the day before the second match between Real Madrid and Manchester United.
The second round of the Champions League quarter-finals between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern and Juventus kicked off first.
Compared with Bayern's gentle battle against Juventus at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Barcelona played much more fiercely against Paris Saint-Germain at Camp Nou.
Paris Saint-Germain wanted to seize the start and try to suppress Barcelona.
And the Barcelona players at home naturally didn't want to be suppressed by Paris at the start.
The two teams played very unrestrained and fiercely at the beginning, and on the defensive end, the Paris defenders were obviously in better shape today.
In the first half, Paris Saint-Germain took a 1-0 lead, and Thiago Silva and "Flying Pig" Alex built a copper wall in front of Paris.
Pedro and Villa fired nine shots in the first half, but five of them were blocked by Paris's two central defenders.
Fabregas played as a tool for the entire half, but he was completely lost in Paris's muscular defense.
At the beginning of the second half, Vilanova had to bet everything and sent Messi, who had some muscle discomfort before the game.
As a result, the midfield combination of Motta + Verratti withstood the pressure, and the defensive mode of entanglement and double-teaming made Messi unable to find too many breakthrough opportunities.
But after Messi's distraction came into play, Iniesta stepped forward at the critical moment.
In the 76th minute of the second half, Iniesta suddenly moved forward at the front of Paris's penalty area, received Xavi's penetrating over-the-top pass, and then perfectly unloaded the ball and shot directly into the far corner of Paris' goal!
Sirigu was caught off guard and was a beat late in his save, and in the end he could only watch the football pass his fingertips across the line!
The whole Camp Nou was boiling at this time!
Barcelona didn't play well in this year's Champions League knockout round, and this round can even be said to be difficult.
It is precisely because of this difficulty that Barcelona fans are particularly eager to advance.
If the current score is maintained, Barcelona will advance to the top four of this year's Champions League with the advantage of away goals!
There were only ten minutes left in the game, and the players on the field of Paris Saint-Germain were somewhat confused.
Li Ang sat on the sofa in his living room and sighed. He wanted to turn off the TV.
But when he thought that Ibrahimovic was still on the court, Li Ang finally decided to watch the game to the end, just to support Ibrahimovic.
There were constant message notification sounds in the mobile chat group. Li Ang picked it up and saw that Ma Pengpeng and Ramos were both shouting "what a pity".
"Although I don't want to admit it, Paris' stability in key battles is still a little lacking. If they continue to attack to the end, the result is hard to say, but they took a defensive position after Messi came on the court, which can be regarded as a strong defense of the momentum."
After Li Ang made a summary speech, he looked at the TV again.
The live camera happened to show the scene of Pastore cutting inside and being pulled down by Alves helplessly.
Paris Saint-Germain got a set piece in the front court, about 26 meters away from the goal.
This is a good opportunity, but Li Ang is still not optimistic about Paris Saint-Germain.
Even Li Ang's good brother Ibrahimovic is ready to take the free kick.
It's not that Li Ang has any prejudice against Ibrahimovic, but looking at historical data, Ibrahimovic's performance in the Champions League knockout stage does not meet the outside world's expected valuation of him.
You mentioned the Champions League knockout stage. The top attacker of each strong team will be strictly guarded, and it is not just Ibrahimovic who will receive this treatment.
Messi and Ronaldo, Robben, Ribery, Rooney, which of these famous offensive superstars in the current football world has not been targeted?
But they all performed well at critical moments.
Ibrahimovic has really stood out in the last revenge battle with Barcelona. He withstood the pressure and shone throughout the game.
It was beyond Li Ang's expectations to be able to win such a Champions League knockout game, so this game is probably also
"Fuck!!!"
Li Ang was waiting to see Ibrahimovic take this free kick and then go to the refrigerator to get some food and water. As a result, when he saw the quality of Ibrahimovic's free kick, he couldn't help but spit out a national treasure!
Ibrahimovic chose to hit the far corner of the goal with this free kick. This distance and direction are also suitable for his right foot.
After the ball was kicked out, Valdes judged that there was no mistake and began to adjust his steps and move sideways.
But the ball fell rapidly after it was obviously higher than the crossbar in the air!
Valdez was shocked at this moment!
His relaxed nerves were tensed again, but his save perfectly missed the ball that hit the crossbar and fell into the net!
"Zlatan is awesome!!!"
Almost in sync with the Paris fans in the live broadcast, Li Ang raised his hands and cheered in the living room!
Ibrahimovic opened his arms again and ran wildly in the Nou Camp stadium with a ferocious roar!
The goal scored by Lucas in the first half also came from his assist!
Three goals and one assist in two games!
Ibrahimovic led Paris Saint-Germain to push Barcelona to the edge of the cliff!
Paris Saint-Germain is about to eliminate Barcelona and enter the Champions League semi-finals again after many years!
The Barcelona fans in the Nou Camp fell into a deathly silence.
Messi was really anxious, but the muscle injury in his thigh still needed to be healed, and he couldn't do anything at this time.
Ancelotti did not make another tactical mistake. He replaced Beckham and defender Van der Wiel.
He replaced the exhausted right-back Jallet and further strengthened the running and coverage ability of the midfield.
Old Bay knew very well that this was his last Champions League trip in his career.
With a firm awareness, in the last ten minutes, Beckham almost completely became a defensive midfielder.
His running and sweeping were everywhere. Even if he received a yellow card in the 89th minute for excessive defensive action, he didn't care at all.
After the fourth minute of stoppage time, seeing that Pedro had no way to deal with Maxwell who blocked him on the wing, the referee on duty decisively blew the whistle to end the game!
The substitutes of Paris Saint-Germain were completely crazy!
They did not enter the Champions League final, and they have only entered the semi-finals of this season, but they can fully feel proud and proud of their team's tenacity!
Ibrahimovic knelt down and screamed to the sky!
At this moment, his grudge against Barcelona and Guardiola seemed to have finally dissipated.
He proved his strength!
The biggest upset of this round of the Champions League appeared!
Paris Saint-Germain broke into the semi-finals of this season's Champions League. They will compete with Bayern, who won 3-1 in the two-round aggregate score, in late April.
The injured Barcelona fans obviously could not accept such a result, and they booed loudly at the scene!
This did not affect the celebrating Paris Saint-Germain players at all, but for the Barcelona players, the booing was too harsh.
It was as if they were not booing the Paris players, but themselves.
Messi touched the inner thigh that was still bandaged and aching slightly, and sat on the grass in silence.
He was very sad, but his temper meant that he would not complain or blame his teammates.
This was destined to be a sleepless night.
Many Real Madrid fans also suffered from insomnia, but they were simply too happy to sleep.
It was really a good thing for Real Madrid fans to see Barcelona lose the four major titles for two consecutive seasons.
They were not afraid that Real Madrid would lose the game in the Champions League on the evening of April 10.
And the fact is indeed so. Real Madrid played at home, and with the advantage of two goals, they played more steadily and freely than Barcelona.
Manchester United, who wanted to turn the tables, did not make any tactical reservations, and they were ready to attack vigorously.
The attacking line composed of Van Persie, Ashley Young, Nani and Rooney is still strong enough.
Real Madrid took a resolute defensive stance at the beginning. After all, there was no need to fight against Manchester United who was fighting desperately.
Today, the Real Madrid fans at home did not boo because of Mourinho's tactical arrangement.
It doesn't matter if you boo in the league, but it's the door of the Champions League semi-finals, so it's right to play more cautiously.
At least the Real Madrid fans who are eager to defend the title and don't want to make Barcelona fans laugh are understanding today.
Li Ang and Matuidi started today and played to break the rhythm of the game in the first half.
Rooney was a little annoyed by Li Ang in the middle of the game, and pushed him hard. Li Ang fell to the ground, and the nearby Real Madrid players immediately put pressure on the referee.
Rooney, who finally received a yellow card, gradually became abnormal, and Ferguson on the sidelines shook his head.
Zhan Jun and General Fan, who was a guest in Sina Sports Studio today, praised Li Ang for his clever play.
Since the opponent's mentality was unbalanced, the defensive players could indeed use this to expand their team's advantage.
This was not a fake fall or a foul. The opponent gave the opportunity, and it would be stupid not to take advantage of it.
Throughout the first half, Real Madrid was committed to consuming the physical strength of Manchester United's offensive players and interrupting Manchester United's offensive.
The commentator of Movistar also joked: "The little lion became the protagonist of Real Madrid on the field too early today."
Li Ang and Matuidi completed the tactical tasks assigned by Mourinho before the game very well.
In the 56th minute of the second half, when Modric replaced Matuidi, Real Madrid also changed its previous resolute defense and began to counterattack Manchester United!
Manchester United's midfielders and forwards, who had been trained by Real Madrid for most of the game, were increasingly struggling to return to defense.
With their overall physical strength inferior to that of their opponents, Manchester United's response seemed particularly lagging behind.
Even if Ferguson quickly replaced Cleverley with Jones to consolidate Manchester United's backcourt defense, it was too late.
Real Madrid's style of play is actually very clear, playing half the game and attacking half the game.
Anyway, I gave you a chance in the first half, but you didn't seize it, so I will naturally take over the rhythm of the game in the second half.
Li Ang and the newly-appeared Modric rushed up, and the offensive organization launched by the double turbine allowed Real Madrid to shoot left and right without stopping.
Ronaldo and Di Maria broke through the two flanks of Manchester United, and Higuain, who also came on as a substitute in the second half and was full of energy, got enough opportunities to fire in the cake position.
In the 76th minute of the second half, Higuain received a half-high cross from Ronaldo and shot into the goal!
The total score came to 3-0, and Real Madrid's overall situation was determined!
In the end, the result of this game was fixed at 1-0. Real Madrid eliminated Manchester United with a total score of 3-0 and entered the semi-finals of this season's Champions League.
On the other side of the Westfalenstadion, Dortmund won another game against Galatasaray 2-0, with a total score of 5-1, and once again stood on the stage of confrontation with Real Madrid!
The semi-final matchup has been completely determined since tonight, Real Madrid vs. Dortmund, Bayern Munich vs. Paris Saint-Germain.
On April 23, Real Madrid will first face Dortmund at home.
On April 24, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain will appear again.
In comparison, the battle between Real Madrid and Dortmund will definitely attract more fans' interest.
The rematch between Li Ang and Gotze is also very interesting.
After all, Gotze played very well in the last two Champions League knockout games.
In the two rounds, Dortmund scored five goals against Galatasaray. Gotze scored one goal and three assists, and created four goals alone. He was very ruthless.
In the group stage matchup, Gotze was blown up by Li Ang.
But now, after all, several months have passed, and Gotze has become more and more explosive. If he plays against Li Ang again, the result may be different.
Of course, for the fans of China and Real Madrid, Li Ang and Real Madrid will win in the end.
This confidence is given to them by Real Madrid with one victory after another.
As for Gotze, it is still the same sentence. First, have the confidence to match Messi's ability to explode in a single point, and then talk about the possibility of beating Li Ang in a position.
On April 14, the 31st round of La Liga kicked off. Barcelona, which started two hours before Real Madrid, challenged Zaragoza away.
Originally, this was a game without any twists and turns.
The second in the league played against the second to last in the league. Not to mention playing with your eyes closed, at least a small win is completely no problem.
But Barcelona has a problem!
I don’t know if it was because of the frustration of confidence after being defeated by Paris.
Messi was absent due to injury, and Iniesta and Xavi finally took a rest for one game, but Barcelona couldn't break Zaragoza's iron bucket formation!
Fabregas played back to his beloved No. 8 position today, but his teammates didn't recognize his tactical core position.
Barcelona, without a backbone, was a mess on the field. Seeing the final score of 0-0, Vilanova was overwhelmed.
After the Barcelona game, Real Madrid, who also challenged their opponents away, appeared.
Facing Athletic Bilbao, which is currently ranked 11th in La Liga, Real Madrid, with all the main players, forced to score two goals in the first half, and Ronaldo scored in the second half, winning another victory 3-0!
Mourinho made a strong declaration of winning the league at the press conference after the game.
Barcelona's failure this time has brought Real Madrid's expected maximum lead to ten points!
All in!
Real Madrid is going to all in for the championship!
Damn, I'm still having dinner and chatting with that real estate boss and his son.
I booked a restaurant and have been eating and drinking since 6 o'clock. I'm a foodie, but I can only smile helplessly in front of 50,000 yuan.
I'll just settle it tonight. I still have to have a table and wine to talk with acquaintances.
Tomorrow, the foodie will be relieved.
The minimum update volume tomorrow is 15,000!
