While Paris Saint-Germain keeps sponsoring itself, the Champions League competition continues. Although many upstarts have helped Manchester City resist the attention of UEFA, UEFA has not let Manchester City go so easily.
Manchester City passed Milan, but they encountered the more difficult Real Madrid. And judging from the current grouping situation, even if Manchester City passed Real Madrid, they still had to encounter the more difficult Barcelona. This is almost a verdict.
Manchester City's death sentence. Who can go all the way through the knockout rounds and destroy Milan, Real Madrid, and Barcelona? This is an almost impossible task.
But there is no way. Platini's new policy is to directly deal with these upstarts. Manchester City is the most prosperous upstart in recent years, how could Platini let him go so easily. Of course, if Manchester City also passes this year, then
Starting next year or the year after, it won't be as difficult as it is now.
"Mourinho is not giving Igor a chance at all."
In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester City challenged Real Madrid away. Mourinho is a very tough person. When he decides on something, he will not accept interference from outsiders.
After the start of the second half of the season, Mourinho completely pushed Casillas into the cold palace. Although Casillas' status in Real Madrid is not as good as Raul's in Real Madrid, as Real Madrid's local flag player, there are still many
There are many supporters. Whether it is the media, Real Madrid members or the locker room, there are still many people who support Casillas.
The media supported him, but Mourinho ignored them and even fought with the media. Real Madrid members criticized Mourinho, and Mourinho also had the support of a group of radical Real Madrid fans. There was trouble in the locker room. Mourinho immediately
Let him sit on the bench.
Ramos, as the current captain of Real Madrid second only to Casillas, would like to say a few words for Casillas. Mourinho dared to throw him on the bench too. Fortunately, Ramos just has a bad temper.
After Rinho beat him for a few games, he was still able to play.
This is Mourinho. Since the end of the winter break, Casillas has not even played in a game. Mourinho did not give Casillas a chance at all. Florentino has adjusted it.
But Mourinho and Casillas both have the same idea. They can only keep one person. Anyway, the two sides are completely at odds with each other, and there is no room for relaxation.
"At this point, no coach will give Igor a chance, let alone Mourinho."
Florentino sat on the other side with Manchester City chairman Mubarak, while List sat with Carvajal, watching the current infighting at Real Madrid.
"That's right. Taking a step back at this time will mean death. If you get tougher, there might be a way out."
Riester agreed with Carvajal. It is true. Things have reached this point. Mourinho can only stay here unless he gets good results, especially the Champions League. Only then can Mourinho continue to stay.
He can defeat Casillas in this battle. But if his results are not good or other problems arise, he will not be able to stay at Real Madrid.
"Dududu——"
As the whistle blew, the quarter-finals of the Champions League officially began. Mourinho stood coolly on the sidelines with a serious expression. Manchester City is completely different from before. Pellegrini's Manchester City is now
It is strong, and on paper its strength is no less than Real Madrid. But now the bigger problem is that the divisions in Real Madrid's locker room are getting more and more serious.
Mourinho knows that he can only win the final victory if he keeps winning. If he wins this time, he will be able to completely control Real Madrid's competitive field in the next few years. But if he fails this time, he can only
It is to leave Real Madrid. So for him, he can only move forward and cannot even take any rest.
"Modric gave the ball to David Silva. Silva, pass the ball!"
The game just started. Manchester City started to attack. Modric has become more and more outstanding in Manchester City in recent years. He handed the ball to Silva in front. Silva ran well and passed the ball well.
"Suarez, Suarez got the ball. Pepe, what on earth is Pepe doing? That's stupid."
Because it had just kicked off, Real Madrid's defensive players had not yet fully entered the state. Silva's ball passed directly between Ramos and Pepe, and Suarez happened to receive the ball in the middle.
At this time, the different characteristics of Suarez and Torres come out. If it is Torres, as long as he accelerates in this situation, he will pass by Ramos and Pepe, and then directly face the goalkeeper with a single-handed ball. He has strong explosive power.
Extraordinary speed is one of Torres' greatest strengths. He also likes passes like this from midfielders the most.
But Suarez is different. Although Suarez's explosive power and speed are not too bad, they cannot be compared with forwards like Torres. Suarez rarely uses speed to break through. Therefore, he seems to be speeding up to break through, but
The speed is not fast at all.
Ramos and Pepe also reacted quickly, especially Pepe. After reacting, Pepe immediately made a tackle to prevent Suarez from breaking in. Unfortunately, Suarez was waiting for this opportunity.
When Pepe tackled the ball, Suarez pulled the ball back with his left foot and then broke through to Pepe's right.
"Pepe, this ball was too reckless and completely out of position. Suarez's technique was so good that Pepe was completely fooled by him."
"Suarez, this is a one-shot! Suarez, shoot!"
After Suarez broke through Pepe, he was already in a one-on-one situation. Suarez is a player with excellent skills and excellent shooting ability. When he saw Diego Lopez coming out, he did not rush to shoot. Instead, he watched
After taking a look at Diego Lopez's position, he gently picked up the ball.
"Suarez! Suarez! Suarez's beautiful shot, Diego Lopez had nothing to do. Only 43 seconds into the game, Manchester City led the opponent 1-0 with Suarez's goal. Suarez once
When I was at Sparta Prague, I led Sparta Prague to defeat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. I didn’t expect that Suarez would still be so good after moving to Manchester City.”
"Shhhhhhh-"
Many of the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu had not yet fully entered the stadium. But the fans who had already entered the stadium were angry and kept booing Suarez. Some people were also dissatisfied with Mourinho.
Over the past six months, there has been a huge conflict between Mourinho and Real Madrid fans. Mourinho is such a coach. When he was at Porto and Chelsea, the fans at that time supported Mourinho one-sidedly.
This kind of support is almost blind. Unfortunately, Real Madrid is not Porto or Chelsea. Real Madrid fans have completely different ideas. Some radical fans fully support Mourinho, while other ordinary fans completely break with Mourinho.
.
"Pepe, we really don't know what to say. He was too reckless with this ball. With his speed, he can actually interfere with Suarez."
The Spanish commentators were a little angry. Suarez is definitely not that kind of speed forward. In terms of explosive power and speed, Pepe is far superior to Suarez. Just now, if Pepe did not make a tackle, but used speed to stick to Suarez,
The effect is definitely better.
Even Mourinho is not very satisfied with Pepe. Speaking of which, Mourinho doesn’t like center backs with brain problems like Pepe. What Mourinho likes most is smart center backs like Carvalho. In fact,
Mourinho is not satisfied with Real Madrid's central defender combination. Ramos is not young yet, but he is still reckless in the central defender position. Pepe is always short-circuited. He is the same as Terry when he was at Chelsea.
There is no comparison at all with this combination of Carvalho.
If it weren't for Mendes's relationship or his nationality, Mourinho really doesn't want to work with Pepe. If Mourinho could be given the maximum transfer power, he would definitely change to a centre-back.
Conceding a goal at the beginning was also a big blow to Real Madrid's players. After all, this is Real Madrid's home court. After the restart, Real Madrid began to attack Manchester City.
"Kedira. Khedira came up. Khedira passed the ball and was intercepted by Thiago Silva!"
Mourinho also has troubles that he cannot tell. The Real Madrid he is building now is entirely to deal with Barcelona. Of course, there is no problem in dealing with La Liga teams. But because the characteristics are relatively single, if you want to defeat the strong European teams, there will be
Problem. A team like Manchester City that plays differently from Barcelona and is so strong is not that easy to deal with.
Although Khedira is a defensive midfielder, he likes to step in. This time he suddenly stepped in and passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo. Unfortunately, he is not Zidane, and Zidane's pass will also appear.
Problem, not to mention that Khedira Thiago Silva intercepted the ball in front of Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Thiago Silva, this is an outstanding defender. Thiago Silva handed the ball to Modric, and Modric passed it straight! Sturridge got the ball."
Sturridge's characteristic is his speed, but his disadvantage is that he has some problems with his passing ability, that is, vision problems. Pellegrini chose him in this game because of his speed. This time Sturridge
When he gets the ball, it's still his original characteristic. When he gets the ball, he runs wildly. There are problems with the breakthrough routes he chooses.
"Sturridge is very fast, but where is he going?"
Many people are very confused because after Sturridge got the ball, he was faster than Marcelo and then he entered a dead end. The young Sturridge is still a clueless teenager.
"Sturridge, this ball was passed... Hey, Suarez, wonderful pull and turn!"
Sturridge was forced to do nothing by Marcelo, so he could only pass the ball. However, his pass was neither a successful cross nor a beautiful ground ball. The pass was a little high, almost reaching the knee.
Moreover, the position of the pass is not good. For the wide players, this kind of pass can basically be said to be a failed pass.
After Suarez ran to the passing route, he leaned on Pepe to catch the ball. It is difficult to handle the ball because Pepe was behind him and the ball was still a little high. All he had to do was stop the ball or hesitate a little.
, you will lose control of the ball.
At this time, Suarez completed a juggling pass. The moment the ball came over, he did not stop the ball with his right foot, but suddenly turned along the ball. The ball seemed to stick to his right foot and followed.
His right foot turned around.
"Suarez, shoot!"
There was no hesitation. The moment Suarez turned around, his right foot stopped the ball in front of Suarez's left foot. Suarez did not need to adjust his left foot and could shoot directly with his left foot. In the blink of an eye, Pepe was behind Suarez.
"The ball was too sudden. Although Diego Lopez fought hard to save, he still couldn't save the ball. The ball went in, and Suarez scored twice. Suarez is a natural nemesis at the Bernabeu. He has been able to do it both times he came to the Bernabeu.
Such a great performance.”
"In the confrontation between Pepe and Suarez, both times they fell into an absolute disadvantage. Pepe, so far in this game, has been the problem on his side."
