Chapter 105 Killing Suspense

Spain is now so concerned about the national derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona that everyone forgets that there is actually a Champions League semi-final before this game... Real Madrid and Celtics, Barcelona and Manchester United.

The Champions League semi-finals between Barcelona and Manchester United are the highlight and attracting much attention. To be honest, everyone thinks there is no value for attention in the match between Real Madrid and Celtics, because Real Madrid will definitely advance, and they may even kill the suspense in the home game in the first leg.

Judging from Real Madrid's current state, this is completely possible. Although the Celtics were the champion of the Scottish Premier League last season, the level of the Scottish Premier League is a huge difference from that of La Liga. The Celtics are teams of the same level as giants in the Scottish Premier League. They are like Barcelona and Real Madrid in the La Liga. However, in the La Liga, they are just a little bit and are not worth mentioning at all.

Although the outside world believes that Real Madrid can easily defeat the Celtics, Mourinho still made very sufficient preparations. No matter how strong the opponent is, if he is well prepared, he can easily solve the battle, which is actually a chance to rest.

Mourinho's idea is quite similar to Patton's idea at the beginning - the sooner the battle ends, the fewer people will die. In order to end the battle as soon as possible, it is necessary to invest superior forces at the beginning to eliminate the enemy.

So Mourinho will send the strongest lineup at home to deal with the Celtics, and will not preserve his strength for the national derby on the weekend.

In fact, this choice is easy to make - if you don't completely solve your opponent in the Champions League semi-finals in the first round, you will have to be distracted from the next round, and the national derby in the middle will become very embarrassing. You can't give up on the two fronts, but the result is that you have to try your best to fight in all three games. It's hard to say what will become if the player gets injured while fighting like this? That's not worth the loss.

If you can solve the opponent in the first round, the next second round will become a formality, so that Mourinho can do his best to try his best in the national derby with Barcelona, ​​making the second round a "warm-up match" for substitutes to train and rest the main players.

At least it is easy to deal with Real Madrid's opponents, but it is difficult to deal with Barcelona.

Guardiola will definitely be very worried about these three games.

Barcelona played Manchester United away in the first leg, and this game is crucial. If they lose, they will have to fight back at home, and the pressure will become very high. Whether they can still take into account the national derby is a question. It is a good idea to say that if they win, but with Manchester United's strength, the second leg will definitely not be easy, and they may be reversed by Manchester United if they are not careful.

In this case, the national derby is like being stuck in the throat, which makes Guardiola very uncomfortable. If it were a very ordinary league game, he would definitely send a second team to play, but it was the national derby that was related to the league championship. The opponent is Real Madrid in good condition...※※※ Mourinho doesn't care about how trouble Guardiola will have. Anyway, he is more lucky and did not encounter an opponent like Manchester United in the semi-finals.

Whether it is Manchester United or Barcelona, ​​it will take some effort to enter the finals and have to pay some price.

Maybe then the two teams will be injured and some will be suspended... This is good news for Mourinho. This is a fight between cranes and clams. All he has to do is watch the side like a fisherman and wait for an opportunity to start.

The day before the home game against the Celtics, Mourinho announced the starting list for the next day on the team.

It turns out that the strongest lineup is playing - goalkeeper Casillas, central defenders Pepe and Carvalho, left defender Marcelo, right defender Ramos, and Chu Zhongtian is the back midfielder, Ozil plays the front midfielder, C. Ronaldo and Kaka are separated from each other, and Higuain is the front.

In fact, it is hard to say that lineup is their strongest lineup. Replacing a few positions will not affect the overall strength of the team. For example, changing Kaka to Di Maria, Marcelo to Bale, Higuain to Zema, and there are also powerful players like Khedira in the midfield... In terms of bench depth alone, Real Madrid is indeed better than Barcelona.

So when facing such a compact schedule, Mourinho's choices are more than Guardiola.

It is said that Guardiola has asked the club's chairman Rossel to buy multiple strong players in the summer. If his requirements cannot be met, Barcelona will lose competitiveness, and Rossel is seriously considering this - obviously he was also stimulated by Real Madrid's substitute lineup worth more than 200 million yuan... The semi-final with the Celtics will be held on Tuesday night, so Real Madrid will have more rest time than Barcelona.

It is said that Barcelona is very dissatisfied with the schedule, but this was arranged by UEFA, and they are just protesting. Regardless of whether they really have "godfathers" in UEFA, at least they did not make any profit this time.

Before the game started, in the dressing room of Real Madrid, Mourinho was telling his players: "Remember! If we can finish the game in the first leg, don't drag it to the second leg! If we can win five of them, don't win only four! You all know what else is next, so now get the Champions League semi-finals out for me!"

At the Bernabeu, Mourinho used very aggressive tactics, emphasizing offense, emphasizing speed, and using speed to drag down the Celtics.

He wants to win the lead!

※※※ "Oh! Oh...oh...ohohohohoh!! Real Madrid scored a goal! They won the lead!!"

At the eleventh minute of the game, Real Madrid scored a goal.

c. Ronaldo received Ozil's straight pass and broke into the penalty area and shot low, and the football got from the Celtic goalkeeper's feet.

There was a huge cheer sound at the Bernabeu Stadium, which was like thunder, stirring everyone's eardrums and hearts.

Mourinho jumped out of his seat and waving his fists hard to celebrate the goal. He didn't just cheer for this goal. This goal shows that Real Madrid is in very good shape at present and can fully realize the plan he made before the game - to defeat his opponent and kill suspense.

"It's so great! Today's Real Madrid is a real Galaxy battleship! Not only is the team's starry sky bright, but the level of competition is also quite high! Although Florentino's "Galaxy Battleship Phase I" gathers a large number of stars, it is inversely proportional to the popularity of the stars in terms of competitive level. This season, we have seen a Real Madrid that has a bumper harvest in both business and competitive!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo scored his final goal in the Champions League this season, and he finally caught up with Messi! In terms of goals, the two players are exactly the same!"

After scoring the goal, Ronaldo seemed very excited. He opened his hands and made a gesture to tease the child, and then hugged Ozil, who assisted him.

Other Real Madrid players rushed up and surrounded them.

The lead was taken just 11 minutes into the game, which was indeed a fantastic start. The Celtics will definitely come out to attack and seek away goals. By then, the rhythm and situation of the game will be fully controlled by Real Madrid. They only need to give full play to their own speed advantages and fight the Celtics' counterattack.

Goals will come one by one.

Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid ended the first half with a goal as if they were a goal.

The song "Let's go to Allianz" began to sound in the stands of the Bernabeu.

The Celtics looked unthreatening, and they could only serve as a foil for the star-shining Real Madrid.

※※ Guardiola did not go to see Real Madrid this time, he was just studying Manchester United in the hotel room. After a knock on the door, assistant coach Bilanova walked in.

"Real Madrid leads 2:0 at home," he told Guardiola.

Guardiola nodded without commenting and did not continue the topic.

Bilanova saw him staring at Manchester United's game video and sat next to him.

Based on his understanding of Guardiola, he felt that it was absolutely natural for Guardiola to lead Barcelona to win so many championships, because he worked harder than anyone else.

Everyone outside talks about how hard Mourinho works, but that's just because Mourinho is better at promoting himself than Guardiola. In terms of talent and achievements, what is Guardiola worse than Mourinho?

Even if Barcelona is suppressed by Real Madrid this season, it is not Guardiola's responsibility, but the club's board of directors. Not buying any powerful new players in the summer transfer period a year ago means that Barcelona lost at the starting line.

As Guardiola's assistant, Biranova never thinks it was Mourinho's victory. He only thinks it was a victory of Real Madrid's golden dollar policy, because Real Madrid could buy Chu Zhongtian for 70 million euros last summer, and Barcelona couldn't afford so much money... Biranova saw Guardiola's Manchester United game video that had been studied so focused on studying so much, and he also felt that Real Madrid's game was nothing good. He decided to stay and help Guardiola study his opponents... ※※ During the halftime break, the atmosphere in Real Madrid's locker room was very relaxed, and many people had even talked about the national derby. They also cared about the results of Barcelona and Manchester United's match the next day.

Ramos said he was very conflicted, hoping that Barcelona would be eliminated, and hoped that Manchester United could hold Barcelona down, distract them from both ends and end up empty-handed.

c. Ronaldo felt that there was no need to feel conflicted. Barcelona was eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals, and they just beat Barcelona in the national derby.

After a group of people discussed Barcelona's fate, they appeared and continued the second half with the Celtics.

As a result, Real Madrid lost the ball in just four minutes... "Samaras!! He scored a key away goal for the Celtics!! Now the score has become 2:1! Although Real Madrid still leads, they have already lost one goal, and the gap between the two sides narrowed to only one goal... This gives the Celtics hope that as long as they score another goal, they can equalize the score and master two away goals!"

Real Madrid responded quickly, c. Ronaldo directly shot a long shot from 35 meters away from the goal. However, the ball was outrageous, and this was just a reaction of C. Ronaldo's many people's impatient emotions.

Chu Zhongtian shouted at Ronaldo: "Calm down! Calm down!" At the same time, his hands kept pressing down, reminding Ronaldo that this time is not the time to be a hero.

The gap in strength between Real Madrid and Celtics is very big, so even if they score a goal, as long as Real Madrid doesn't lose their composure, then Celtics will not have the chance to equalize the score.

What Chu Zhongtian has to do is to prevent the team from losing the ball.

Now he has this authority and ability. C. Ronaldo seems arrogant and conceited in front of others, but in front of Chu Zhongtian, he is still willing to listen to his opinions.

Soon under his dispatch, Real Madrid gradually calmed down their anxiety.

In the 71st minute, Real Madrid took advantage of the opportunity of Celtics' heavy pressure to equalize the score and fought a high-quality counterattack. Chu Zhongtian made a long pass from the backcourt. After Kaka received the ball, he broke into the penalty area and was tripped to the ground by the Celtics' defender. The referee was sentenced to a penalty and awarded Real Madrid a penalty.

c. Ronaldo naturally stood in front of the penalty spot. Now is the critical moment for him and Messi to compete for the Champions League top scorer. Of course, he has to come if he has the chance to score.

The Portuguese easily scored the penalty kick, and Real Madrid regained the lead of two goals.

"Ronaldo scored his tenth Champions League goal this season! Now he has completed his surpassing Messi! Look at his excitement after scoring! Ha!"

This ball calmed down the already anxious Real Madrid fans and completely calmed down the Real Madrid players.

The Celtics' away goal was an accident. In terms of strength, they could not turn the tables at the Bernabeu.

But only leading two goals is not safe enough. You should know that the atmosphere of the Celtics' home court is also very terrifying. Real Madrid has just experienced the fierce battle of the national derby at that time. He went to the away game to play against the Celtics. It is really hard to say what the final result will be.

The 3:1 score is definitely not the "kill suspense" score that Mourinho asked for.

Goals must continue to be scored.

So in the 82nd minute, Real Madrid scored another goal. This time the goal was forward Higuain, who received an assist from Chu Zhongtian and scored the fourth goal of Real Madrid in this game. Chu Zhongtian also continued to occupy the first place in the assist list with ten assists.

The final score of this game is 4:1, Real Madrid defeated the Celtics at home. This score can basically declare the end of the two-leg game. This is a score that can kill suspense.

This score means that the Celtics must beat Real Madrid at home by 3:0, but with the strength of the Celtics and the attacking power of Real Madrid, they may be able to score three goals in Real Madrid, but it is absolutely impossible for Real Madrid to not score... So there is no suspense in the second round. Real Madrid has basically confirmed to enter the finals. They have booked a ticket to Munich in advance.

After the game, Real Madrid's songs were played at the Bernabeu Stadium, and Domingos's singing sounded every time Real Madrid won at home.

Chu Zhongtian and his teammates paid tribute to the home fans and thanked them for their support.

This game is indeed a pleasure for Real Madrid fans. Their team scored four goals and only allowed the opponent to score one goal, basically locked in the Champions League finals, and everyone can have a good sleep when they go home. Now they can temporarily forget the Champions League and start looking forward to the national derby on the weekend.

"Barcelona is waiting!!" Some Real Madrid fans who left the field even sang such songs.

Now they are full of confidence in their teams and feel that even if they go to Camp Nou, they will not be as embarrassed as before.

※※ Guardiola knew the final result of Real Madrid and Celtics before going to bed. Real Madrid beat the Celtics 4-1 at home, without any suspense, and the next round was basically meaningless.

Guardiola was not surprised by this result. If Real Madrid can't even handle the Celtics at home, then they would not be suppressed by them so hard this season.

This news means Real Madrid is sure to reach the Champions League final.

From this point of view, if your team eliminates Manchester United and enters the finals, wouldn’t it be a national derby with Real Madrid in the Champions League final?

He is not afraid of this, and he even looks forward to another match with Real Madrid in the Champions League final... But first, he has to cross the opponent Manchester United.

Ferguson is not inferior to Mourinho's difficult opponent.

Guardiola can only say that his luck this season is really much worse than Mourinho. Why didn’t he meet an opponent like the Celtics in the Champions League semi-finals? Each of the two games with Manchester United is comparable to the finals. If there is a slight mistake, it may be doomed.

That's not all, there is a national derby in the middle.

When he thinks of Mourinho, he feels a headache. It’s not how to deal with him, but the headache that he doesn’t know what bad things he will have to say then.

This person had a good relationship with him at the beginning, but why have they changed now?

With all kinds of worries and a little nervous, Guardiola closed her eyes.

Three games, three finals, no matter what, you have to pass one game. Let’s talk about it first...
