"Manchester City is inexperienced, but we are confident of breaking out of this group."
Milan worked very hard, but they were disrupted by Manchester City's rhythm at their home court. Milan was originally the club that was best able to control the rhythm in Serie A, but Leonardo himself was far worse than Ancelotti. The midfield was a mess.
, can’t be organized at all.
Modric performed very well in the midfield. When defending, he stood very firmly and did not allow Milan to pass the ball at will in the frontcourt. When attacking, he was able to break through and pass the ball in the frontcourt. Yaya
Toure was right next to Modric, defending Seedorf so that he had no performance throughout the game. Shortly after the start of the second half, Leonardo replaced Seedorf.
Pirlo and Flamini couldn't control the midfield at all, and their defense in the midfielder position was also very poor. Silva and Modric took turns coming up, and Milan's defense couldn't guard it at all. Don't.
Speaking of the combination of Nesta and Kaladze now, even the combination of Nesta and Stam back then would not be able to defend if it directly faced the opponent's offensive players. This is the importance of the midfielder.
The importance of the field.
During the game, Tevez, Silva, Modric, Yaya Toure and others took turns shooting long-range shots from the front of the penalty area. If Nesta and Kaladze come up, Torres will be unscrupulous in the penalty area. The strong Manchester City
He blasted 23 shots at Milan's home court and ultimately defeated Milan 3-0.
After the game, Pellegrini was in a good mood, so he told the media that Manchester City is not afraid of this group. Manchester City has a chance to emerge from this group. Because after this game, the Manchester City players have also greatly increased their confidence.
"Man City are not afraid of death groups!"
"Milan falls victim to the death squad?"
“The decline of Serie A!”
"Manchester City is coming!"
There were a lot of reports about this game after the game. After all, this is a group of death game. If Real Madrid and Milan win again in this round, then there will basically be no problems in this group stage. Real Madrid and Milan should appear
It's a sure thing.
But no one expected that Milan would be beaten by the upstart Manchester City at their home court. Manchester City showed amazing strength in this game, showing how powerful the players they have introduced with nearly 400 million yuan are.
Another venue. Real Madrid continues to be strong. The most annoying thing about Mourinho's team is its stability. His team's stability is shocking, especially in the Champions League group stage. Facing weak teams
Marseille, Real Madrid played an astonishing 5-1. Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's top scorer, completed a hat trick. As a result, Real Madrid accumulated six points, Milan and Manchester City both had three points, and Marseille had zero points.
Of course, it’s only two rounds, so nothing can be seen yet. But with the end of the third round, the group stage is becoming more and more clear. In the third round of Group C of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid and Milan
The main event began. This time it was again at San Siro. Milan once again failed to face Real Madrid.
Originally, Italian football was against Spanish football. Real Madrid had a very difficult time meeting the Serie A giants before. But Leonardo met Mourinho. That was really a mess. It should be said that the Serie A giants are now corrupted.
It no longer has the strength it once had.
Who is Mourinho? Because he was on the road, so he gave up control of the midfield a little, and Leonardo let the Milan midfielder come forward. Mourinho's Real Madrid immediately seized the space and returned to
Kaka performed well at San Siro and scored two goals. In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a free kick and Alonso also scored a goal. In the end, Milan beat Milan 4-0 at San Siro.
.
Milan's midfield defense problem was clearly exposed in this game. Kaká shot several times near the penalty area. No one from Milan came to defend. Kaká was originally very difficult in Real Madrid, but after this game, his position in Real Madrid
Stable again.
But people are paying attention to another game. After Manchester City defeated Milan, they faced the underdog Marseille away. Marseille was the most unlucky in this group. They finally made it to the Champions League and met Real Madrid, Milan, and Manchester City in the group stage. Manchester City
If you want to qualify, you must not miss in this game.
Marseille resisted very tenaciously. After losing to Real Madrid and Milan, they could not continue to lose. But the strength gap between the two sides was there. In the away game, Manchester City relied on Kompany's corner kick and Tevez's long-distance attack to score 2-0.
Defeat Marseille.
In this way, the situation is very obvious. Real Madrid is the best, and there is no problem in this group. But unlike people think, Milan is not that strong. On the contrary, Manchester City is the worst.
Okay. So among the remaining three games, Manchester City has two home games.
Manchester City's road to emergence turned out to be bright, but now Milan, which has lost two consecutive games, has become the laughing stock of everyone.
…………
Real Madrid's strength this season has made it and Barcelona the best team in European football. Barcelona controls the ball, and Real Madrid plays a whirlwind counterattack. Both teams have been trained for a season.
.has begun to become more and more mature. Their style of play also has obvious characteristics, and they are completely crushing all opponents in La Liga.
Although Mourinho's Real Madrid lost to Barcelona last season, it has become more mature this season. Looking at the Champions League group stage, they faced Manchester City and Milan away from home. But they defeated them without any suspense. In the group stage
They were invincible during the game. Before the group stage was over, Real Madrid was about to usher in the El Clasico.
In the El Clasico, he lost to Barcelona three times last season. But after three games, Mourinho’s understanding of Barcelona is getting deeper and deeper, and he already has enough ways to deal with them. Mourinho is not afraid of Barcelona now
of.
The national derby is about to begin, and the scolding war between the two sides has begun to escalate. Mourinho himself likes this kind of confrontation, likes this kind of confrontation, and even deliberately condones and provokes it. Mourinho believes that now
Although Real Madrid has many good players, their cooperation is still not as good as Barcelona's tacit understanding. And if they want to fight against Barcelona, the most important thing is that Real Madrid players must concentrate 100%.
Therefore, Mourinho uses this kind of off-field confrontation to gather Real Madrid's combat effectiveness. This is a kind of psychological warfare that allows Real Madrid players and fans to share the same hatred. This method is used to stimulate the potential of the players.
There was already a lot of unpleasantness between the two sides last season. Therefore, based on this, this time the two sides started to argue. Real Madrid players all said that this time they must let Barcelona take a good look at their own strength. As for Barcelona,
It is to laugh at Real Madrid and ridicule Real Madrid as a loser.
"Casillas believes that the escalation of the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is not conducive to the unity of the national team!"
"Mourinho is not happy with Casillas' attitude!"
"Mourinho would rather Cristiano Ronaldo become captain!"
"The players in the dressing room prefer Cristiano Ronaldo to replace Casillas as captain!"
Just before the El Clasico, many media suddenly broke the news that there were problems within Real Madrid. No one expected this. No locker room scandal broke out after Mourinho took over. If there was any news last season,
, Raul and Mourinho had a bad relationship, but Raul left this summer. Before leaving, he publicly stated that Mourinho is an excellent coach and Real Madrid should support him.
As for Casillas and Mourinho, I have never heard of any problems. But now suddenly many media have revealed that Mourinho is very dissatisfied with Casillas. Because Casillas is a
The captain of Real Madrid did not express his attitude at such an important moment. Everyone else expressed their intention to fight Barcelona to the death, but Casillas kept a low profile.
The news may be true or false, but it has caused quite a stir. Many Real Madrid fans criticized Barcelona, you are such a bastard. Seeing that Real Madrid's performance is getting better and better, you actually used such a low-level method to slander Real Madrid.
But Casillas, one of the parties involved in this matter, was already very angry at home.
"Louis. These media outlets have gone too far."
Casillas is suffering. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is because of their respective positions. Mourinho is the head coach of Real Madrid, and all ideas are considered from the perspective of Real Madrid. In addition, Mourinho is the head coach of Portugal.
He is not a Spaniard, and any achievements of the Spanish national team have nothing to do with him.
But Casillas is different. He is the captain of Real Madrid, but he is also the captain of the national team. He has to consider the interests of Real Madrid and the interests of the Spanish national team. Ramos, Alonso, Aveiro
These people can criticize Barcelona, and Barcelona players can also criticize them. But Casillas cannot go too far. Because after the confrontation between Real Madrid and Barcelona escalates, there will obviously be problems in the relationship between Real Madrid and Barcelona players. Then it will be needed
Casillas, who is the captain of Real Madrid and has a good relationship with Barcelona players, mediates between them.
Spanish football is currently on the rise, and the most important players in the Spanish national team are Real Madrid and Barcelona players. Therefore, Casillas cannot just say whatever comes to mind like Ramos. Especially since the end of this season is the 2010 World Cup.
, and he couldn't express his position easily at this time.
Mourinho is indeed dissatisfied with Casillas as the media said. But the relationship between the two is not as serious as the media said. Mourinho is a very smart man, and Casillas also knows Mourinho.
Rinho is strong, so the two sides still maintain a certain degree of restraint. But now I don't know which bastard would take the matter so seriously. Isn't this nonsense? And it is completely adding fuel to the fire.
"What does Mourinho mean?"
"I don't know. He's not very happy anyway."
Casillas seemed very troubled. Because he did not express his position, if the media did not expand, then it was just silence. But after the media expanded in this way, problems really occurred. After all, Real Madrid is now united. It wants to defeat Barcelona and establish a
His own dynasty. From Florentino to Mourinho, and then to Ramos, they are all actively fighting and joining the struggle off the court.
But you, the captain of Real Madrid, didn’t say anything. What does that mean? Do you disagree with Real Madrid’s current overall thinking, or do you only care about your personal relationship with the Barcelona players?
"How was it in the locker room?"
Luis Abad also has a headache. Casillas is his first player. This time the media is hyping it up like this. If it were in the F1 industry, he would have found out the culprits behind the scenes.
But he may have a good relationship with other sports reporters, but he basically has no interaction with football reporters. This time things suddenly broke out, and he couldn't find out where the source was. Anyway, he felt very bad this time, as if he was trapped in
The feeling of being in a trap.
But what he is most worried about now is Casillas's problem in Real Madrid. He needs to know Mourinho's attitude and the attitude of the players in the locker room towards him. Only in this way can he design other strategies.
"There won't be too many problems. It's just that you also know that in the current locker room, besides me, there are also many players named Mendes."
Casillas sighed. When he worked as Raul's follower, his biggest idea was to replace Raul and become the leader of the locker room. But after truly replacing Raul, he realized that it is not easy to be the boss.
Now there is a top superstar named Cristiano Ronaldo in the locker room, such as Di Maria and Carvalho, who all follow his lead. But Kaká and Ribery all do their own thing. After all, they are all superstar players in European football, so there is no need for them.
To please anyone. The two of them do not interfere with anything.
And Xavi Alonso, Essien, and Arbeloa all follow Mourinho's words. It's not that they are Mourinho's absolute direct descendants, but because they all became famous in the Premier League. In the Premier League, the head coach
They are all bosses, and the head coach is the most powerful in the Premier League. They are used to listening to the head coach and giving priority to his opinions.
In such a locker room, it is really not easy for Casillas to be the boss. He needs to balance the interests of all parties. Of course, as the boss of the local gang, he must also take care of the interests of the local gang.
"What's going on with the news that Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be captain? Does Mourinho really have this idea?"
"Not sure."
Casillas shook his head. Louis Abad asked these questions just to confirm Casillas's information. After listening to Casillas's words, Louis Abad had already analyzed some problems.
First of all, this matter was not a big deal. But now it has become a big deal, and I don’t know how many people are behind it. Some people don’t like Casillas, some don’t like Mourinho, and some don’t like Mendes.
Of course, most of them don’t like Real Madrid. Anyway, it’s basically difficult to find out who did this.
"Igor, Cristiano Ronaldo's attitude towards you has not changed, right?"
"Our relationship was normal to begin with. But recently it has become a little more awkward."
Casillas did not say it directly, but Luis Abad can already guess it. If it were placed in other clubs, Cristiano Ronaldo would really be qualified to become the captain.
After all, Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo have the same agent now, and Cristiano Ronaldo is very comfortable in Mourinho's tactical system. The strength to support Cristiano Ronaldo in the Real Madrid locker room is also
Not small, not inferior to Casillas. It would be impossible to say that Cristiano Ronaldo didn't want to be the captain of a top club like Real Madrid.
Thinking of this, Luis Abad's face turned ugly. Damn it, who can be sure that this was not done by Mendes himself. Since Mourinho became the head coach of Real Madrid, even Lester's players except Ribe
They have been purged inside and outside. Mendes wants to dominate the Real Madrid transfer market, and the ambition of the Real Madrid locker room is undoubtedly revealed.
As long as Real Madrid clears out Casillas, then Real Madrid will be able to enter Mendes' pocket. The biggest obstacle that prevents Cristiano Ronaldo from becoming captain is Casillas and Luis Abad.
The more he thought about it, the more he became very angry with Mendes.
This bastard Mendes doesn't think he is really the boss of Real Madrid.
