When the prince came to the training base in the morning, his teammates came up to express their congratulations. Of course, the movements were never so gentle.
However, the prince could see a little gloominess from the expressions of his teammates.
But he soon knew the reason. In the last round of La Liga that just ended, that is, the game against Almeria that the prince missed because of receiving the award, Real Madrid unexpectedly capsized at home, and the opponent's tenacious "
The draw ended the winning streak at the beginning, and two points were recovered by the victorious Barcelona.
During the game, Real Madrid, who was playing at home, had the advantage. The 31 shots in the game were unable to break through the opponent's goalkeeper. It must be said that luck was not on Real Madrid's side that night.
The ball possession rate of 72% in the game can fully illustrate the home team's advantage, but football games are like this. No one can predict the final result until the end of the game. Just like this game, everyone thought that Real Madrid would continue their winning streak.
It is entirely possible to gain momentum and even win a big victory, but when the game ended, the expressions on everyone's faces were incredible. No one could have imagined that Real Madrid, which is so powerful that even Barcelona has to avoid the edge for the time being, would
Being "drawn" by an unknown underdog at home is like being begged by a beggar driving a Bugatti Veyron, it is so unacceptable.[
Now when the Madrid media is reporting on Prince winning the European Ballon d'Or, they are also reporting on Real Madrid's draw.
Real Madrid's mouthpiece "Aspa" naturally tries its best to maintain the majesty of its master. According to them, Real Madrid's strength is strong, but winning streak will bring pressure. It seems that it will not have any impact for the time being, but the pressure will accumulate for a long time.
Once it breaks out, Real Madrid may face collapse.
But now that the winning streak is over, the pressure will naturally disappear, and Real Madrid will be able to relax and refocus their efforts towards the halfway point of the season.
But other media would not let the Madrid giants go so easily, especially the media in Catalonia. They took this opportunity to criticize the club, creating a look like the sky was falling.
In fact, in the prince's view, Catalonia is now the boss in front of him, and the degree of threat is even greater than Barcelona, a century-old enemy.
The prince would rather compete with any wealthy team on the court than listen to any slanderous remarks from the media. This is really terrible.
Real Madrid's next game is the final round of the Champions League group stage. Although Real Madrid has qualified in advance and can exclude the substitute rotation, they thought that Prince did not play in the league and got a chance to rest, so Pei Shuai still put Prince in this game.
The squad for the game went with the team to Marseille to participate in the game.
The situation in the group is still unclear. Except for Real Madrid, which advanced to the top 16 as the first place in the group, the other three teams all have the opportunity to appear. Milan and Marseille also have one win, two draws and two losses and have five points.
Zurich, on the other hand, has one win, one draw, three losses and four points. The final round of the group stage can completely determine their final fate. Whether they can advance to the top 16 of the Champions League.
Marseille's current situation is quite passive. Milan's opponent Zurich may not be able to pose a threat to Milan. Although the first round clash between the two teams ended with Milan losing, it was also due to factors such as underestimating the enemy. Now the Serie A giants may not make the same mistake again.
.
If the two teams end up with the same points, according to UEFA regulations, the first thing to compare is the goal difference. In this regard, Marseille is lagging behind, so overall, Marseille's hope of qualifying is really slim, even at home.
Even if Real Madrid is defeated, it may be difficult to defeat Milan and successfully break out of the group.
But this is a theoretical explanation after all, and it will definitely not represent the actual situation. Even if there is hope, Marseille will fight for honor and fight Real Madrid at home.
In the second round of the group stage, Real Madrid defeated Marseille at home, and now is the best time for the Ligue 1 team to take revenge. Maybe Milan will really capsize in the gutter, and then they will be the second lucky one to qualify in the group.
Son.
The first half of the game was uneventful. Even though Real Madrid had a rotating lineup, they were still able to take the initiative in the away game. Deschamps' team still lacked the foundation.
In the 5th minute, Van der Vaart was violated in the frontcourt and won a free kick for Real Madrid. De La Rede shot directly. The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Mangdanda failed to save. 0 to 1, Real Madrid took the lead in the away game.
, this is a quite dreamy start.
In the 11th minute, Taivo suddenly accelerated on the left side and forced a breakthrough through Ramos and then made a pass from the bottom. Brandao's shot from behind was blocked by Albiol. Albiol made a mistake in the clearance and was saved by the home team Gonzalez.
After Si broke the ball, the Argentinian volleyed with his right foot and scored, 1 to 1. Marseille quickly equalized the score and the two teams returned to the starting line.
The Marseille team, which still had hope, did not play a passionate attack, and Deschamps did not train the team to be like Monaco, who coached and won the Champions League runner-up at the time. He still hoped to use stability to win the game, so Marseille team
It's more about patiently looking for opportunities.
In the 12th minute, Metzelder and Niang collided and fell to the ground while fighting for a header. Both sides suffered head injuries and bleeding. After simple bandaging, both men returned to the game.
In the 27th minute, Real Madrid got consecutive chances to win. Van der Vaart took a corner kick in the frontcourt. Ruud van Nistelrooy's header from the center hit the post. Raul's close shot was saved by Mendanda. Van der Vaart followed up with the small penalty area.
The internal tip-in shot was once again blocked by a Marseille player with his body. Ramos followed up with the final tip-up shot near the penalty area line but was also blocked by Real Madrid's old player Heinze, ending Real Madrid's series.
Threaten to attack.
One minute before the end of the first half, Van der Vaart made a wonderful pass with his heel. Marcelo broke into the penalty area and shot, but the goal missed due to interference from the opponent.[
After this attack, the referee also blew the whistle to end the game, and the two sides were tied in the first half.
In fact, for Real Madrid, any result of this game is irrelevant. Even if they lose the game and lose for the second time in a row, they will only receive a few criticisms at most, which will not affect the overall situation at all, so Pei Shuai does not take it seriously.

The only thing that can give him some relief is the recovery of Dutch midfielder Van der Vaart. The Dutchman is in really good form in this game. He can do almost nothing in the midfield and has an all-round frontcourt style.
Real Madrid's lineup is definitely the best of the best, but what's strange is that many times, the players Real Madrid bought at a high price cannot play the role they imagined, and become what everyone thinks is a parallel import. This is very uneconomical.
Some time ago, the Dutch stars basically played a soy sauce role. In the only few games, they were not able to prove themselves well in front of the coach. This also led to the coach often using De La Red.
As a substitute for the attacking midfielder.
Now Perez may have to face a happy choice. If the two stars Guti and Van der Vaart can maintain good condition, he doesn't know who to send out.
As for Prince, who was on the bench in this game, Pei Shuai originally planned to send him on to find his form in the 60 minutes, but the sudden change of situation on the field made him forget this decision.
In the 65th minute of the game, Lucho Gonzalez made a long pass from the midfielder. Niang led the ball and broke through at high speed. After that, he was brought down by the fierce tackle of Casillas, which ended the home team's attack.
The referee only issued a yellow card and warned Saint Cassie.
This dangerous move caused dissatisfaction among the Marseille players. Except for a few players who were checking Niang's injury, others and even the players on the bench rushed to the field to argue with Saint Cassie. I guess they were arguing.
I definitely don’t mind using my fists to speak if I have a problem.
Looking back to analyze this foul, since Real Madrid has no defensive players after Casillas, Niang will have the opportunity to hit the empty goal once the breakthrough is successful. Therefore, the Real Madrid goalkeeper's foul is completely normal even if he is sent off with a red card. The referee
Showing a yellow card is already a too light sentence.
However, what chilled the home team players even more was that after Niang was injured, Casillas did not take the initiative to run over and make a friendly gesture. At the Velodrome Stadium, the Spanish national goalkeeper was bold enough.
Naturally, Real Madrid's players on the court would not watch their teammates being attacked. Even if it was their own mistakes, they could not let their opponents teach them a lesson, so they rushed over to help their teammates.
Seeing that a "riot" was about to take place on the court, fortunately, the coaches of both teams asked the players to restrain their emotions, especially Deschamps, who originally had a chance to qualify. If the trouble continued, maybe this chance would
All will be lost.
In the following game, the Marseille players no longer paid attention to the game itself. They were more often looking for opportunities for physical contact. They were blatantly helping their teammates to get revenge.
After being tackled several times, the Real Madrid players became angry, and their movements gradually became louder, and the game gradually turned into a close-quarters fight.
In the end, neither team could score, and the 1:1 score remained until midfield. Real Madrid emerged as first in the group, while Marseille ranked third in the group behind Milan, which won this round, and lost the promotion.
Opportunity for the top 16.
After the game, Marseille's medical staff confirmed that captain Niang would be out until at least February 2010.
"Maybe for the Galacticos, the Senegalese's injury has little to do with him. But the Madrid people don't know how much resistance Deschamps will encounter in the reconstruction process without Niang; the goal of the Bernabeu"
Fans will not know how much impact Niang's absence will have on the Senegal national team's African Cup of Nations in Angola next January. On this night at the Velodrome Stadium, Niang was a real man. In comparison
Now, even if Real Madrid wins, it is just a foil.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian.com, with monthly votes.
