Chapter 409 "Real Madrid" Showdown
In La Liga, there are two teams called "Real Madrid" for short. In addition to the world-famous football king "Real Madrid", there is also the island team "Real Mallorca".
Although the abbreviations are both "Real Madrid", the gap between the two is heaven and earth. The former is the most dazzling team in the entire football world, gathering the world's most famous top stars, while the latter is just a relegation team. That's all.
Mallorca's annual task is to relegation, and every year they have done very well, and occasionally in a few years they can be lucky, reach the top of the league, and go to the UEFA Cup to join in the fun.
However, what has made Mallorca most famous in recent years is that it has cultivated two world-class shooters. In addition to the super killer Eto'o, there is also Guiza, the former La Liga shooter.
And these two players also exchanged a large sum of money for Mallorca, allowing this relegation team to improve steadily in recent years.Although the head coach Manzano is not well-known in world football, he is an old fritter who has been struggling in La Liga for more than ten years.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second time that Manzano has coached Mallorca. In the 2002/2003 season, he coached this island team for the first time. Champion of the King's Cup.You must know that since Mallorca was founded, it has only won the Spanish Super Cup in 1998. This King's Cup is already half of Mallorca's honor.
However, after leading Mallorca to win the Copa del Rey, Manzano was spotted by the La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid and dug over.But the strong team is not so easy to mix. After one season, he only led Atletico Madrid to seventh in the league and missed the European war. He was fired.
Then the old coach moved to Malaga, and finally returned to Mallorca in 2006. He worked for four seasons, and after three years of painstaking efforts.This season, Mallorca's performance has exploded, with nine wins, three draws and four losses in 30 league rounds, ranking No.4 with 3 points.The gap with No.2 Valencia is only 28 points, but it is only the goal difference with Sevilla behind.And Deportivo, Getafe, and Athletic Bilbao, who are sixth, seventh, and eighth, scored 27, 26, and [-] points respectively.
As long as you don't pay attention, Mallorca will fall out of the scope of the European competition, so Manzano will play every game as a final.Compared with Valencia, Sevilla, Deportivo, Athletic Bilbao and other traditional La Liga powerhouses, Mallorca still lacks heritage.Even compared with Getafe, it is not an advantage. They are a Madrid team, backed by Real Madrid, and many young talents who cannot play in Castilla are sent to Getafe by Real Madrid for training.
And now Mallorca has encountered one of the most severe hurdles of the season. The name of Real Madrid now makes every La Liga team fear and fear.The undefeated record of [-] wins and [-] draws in the league so far made everyone's legs weak before they met them.
But no matter how afraid he was, there was no reason to admit defeat directly. Manzano gritted his teeth and brought his players to Madrid to set up a spot one day in advance.
Historically speaking, the relationship between the two "Real Madrid" is still very good. As we all know, Mallorca's chairman Ferrer is one of the members of Real Madrid.
So after the start of the game, Calderon and Ferrer, the chairmen of the two teams, appeared in the box talking and laughing happily, without any awareness of their opponents at all.
This time there are three ex-Real Madrid youth academy players in Mallorca's camp, namely Ruben, Borja and Alvarez.Before Getafe appeared in La Liga, Mallorca was Real Madrid's satellite club in La Liga.
This time, Schuster was not playing any rotation. Gago, Sneijder, Alonso and Higuain all played.It's just that the left winger was replaced by Silva, who performed well in the last game, and formed two wings with Robben.
At the beginning of the game, the players of Mallorca put up the iron barrel formation very consciously. It is already a symbol of a strong team to score 1 point at the Bernabeu.
Manzano still has a little bit of anticipation in mind. Real Madrid was tied by Osasuna in the away game last round. In that game, the performance of the main players such as Gago was not very good. I hope that poor state can continue until now .
It's just that Real Madrid's goal in the opening 10 minutes told him that it was a delusion!
Alonso shifted to the right in midfield, Robben dribbled the ball horizontally and then shot a cold arrow with his left foot at the front of the penalty area. The ball drew a beautiful arc and flew directly into the upper corner of the goal, 1:0!
The recent state of the two boys, Silva and Mata, has frightened Robben, an old Jianghu, but at the same time inspired him to his best state.The two Dutchmen, Sneijder and Robben, in the Real Madrid team this season are shockingly good. If it weren't for Gago, the No. Two Dutchmen.
But Robben is excellent, and the teenager Silva is not weak.In the No.30 minute of the first half, Gago took a free kick from the right to the back point. The agile Silva threw away the defenders around him and then volleyed with his left foot from a small angle to score the goal, 2:0!
But this is not the last goal in the first half. In stoppage time, Higuain, the current number one shooter in the Real Madrid team, finally recovered his shooting boots after the last round of misfiring.When Gago's long-range shot was saved by the goalkeeper who was concentrating on the other side, a quick shot in front of the goal scored his No.19 goal in the league.
Leading by three goals in the first half, the Meilingers, who were melancholy after the team was tied in the last round, were extremely excited.
"This is Real Madrid, this is Real Madrid as we know it. Such a sharp attack, unstoppable edge!"
Bernabéu's commentator Brando yelled frantically during the intermission, making the fans even more frantic.
In the second half, Gago and the others did not live up to the expectations of the fans. The active, smooth and fast offense made the fans fascinated.In No. 605 minutes, Gago completed an assist again, breaking into the penalty area to attract all the defenses and then passing back to the top of the arc.
Sneijder, who was inserted in the back row, decisively bombarded the goal and scored a beautiful world wave.
After seeing the score changed to 4:0, Schuster was satisfied. He also knew that the relationship between Mallorca and Real Madrid was still good, so he started to stop.First of all, Guti replaced the core of the team, Gago. At present, Real Madrid has to play the king of Argentina in important games, so he can't be tired.
Ruud van Nistelrooy then replaced the team's top scorer Higuain. In stoppage time, the German used the last substitution in his hand. Huntelaar came on and Silva came off.
At this time, four of the 11 starting players on the Real Madrid field are actually Dutch. This is the first time in the history of this situation.Since Calderon came to power, the fastest growing power in Real Madrid's dressing room is the Dutch gang. If it weren't for Van Nistelrooy's aging and Drenthe's failure, it is really possible to shake the dominance of the Spanish department.
At the end of the game, Manzano came over to congratulate Schuster in a very gracious manner, probably because he had no intention of winning before the game, so he didn't feel sad when he lost.
However, when the news came that the direct opponents of the league had defeated their respective opponents, Manzano's face changed. It was only one game. After losing, Mallorca fell from fourth in the league to sixth in the league, almost falling. Out of the European theater.
After this round, although Real Madrid recovered their morale with a big victory after a draw, the point difference with Barcelona was once again narrowed to 4 points.
After a tie with Villarreal in the make-up match, Guardiola also adjusted the team's combat power very well, taking advantage of Real Madrid's draw with Osasuna to sweep away Tenerife 5-0 , and then beat Sevilla, the fifth in the league, 4-0 at home in this round.
In these two games, Messi played directly, scored five goals frantically, and staged a hat-trick against Tenerife.He scored twice against Sevilla at home. What's even more difficult is that these five goals were all sports goals, and none of them were penalties.
After this round, Messi scored [-] goals in total in the league, surpassing Villa with [-] goals in one fell swoop, second only to Higuain with [-] goals. Just a matter of time.
However, the joy of the Barcelona fans evaporated after three days, and Sevilla, who were swept at the Nou Camp, avenged their revenge at home.In the second round of the King's Cup round of sixteen, although Messi scored a goal for the team and helped Barcelona beat Sevilla again in the away game, but because they lost 1:2 at home in the first round, Sevilla With a total score of 2:2 and more away goals, Barcelona was eliminated and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Just two points clear of Real Madrid in the league, but three days later permanently lost the first title of the season.
After the game, Messi's helpless face with his hands on his hips became the headlines of all newspapers in La Liga. On the contrary, Real Madrid, in the case of 3:2 in the first round, Schuster was not careless in the away game of the second round. Except for Sneijder and Robben, Gago played all the main players.
In the end, relying on Gago's pass, Real Madrid defeated Racing Santander again 2:0 in the away game, and entered the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey with a total score of 5:2. Their opponents failed to win the first round after the winter break team.
When Osasuna finally defeated their opponents in the top [-] of the Copa del Rey, before they had time to be happy for a few days, they heard the bad news that Real Madrid was their next opponent.
Up to the head coach and down to the players, everything is dark.
The only thing that can comfort Osasuna is that Schuster doesn't like to send the main force in the first round of the King's Cup. As long as they can face Real Madrid's substitute lineup in the first round and determine enough advantages, then seeing The Germans who can't do anything will definitely give up this tasteless event and turn all their attention to the league and the Champions League.
"I hope Athletic Bilbao can help consume Real Madrid's character!"
Osasuna's head coach Mendiliba prayed to God after looking at Real Madrid's schedule!
