Chapter 1391 The top four are revealed
The King of Madrid finally defeated Blue and White Munich 2:1 away from home with Melli's goal.
He had the last laugh in these two rounds of the "European Derby".
Melly's outstanding performance against the defending champion also won him widespread praise.
Melly's fans were naturally elated.
Since the Madrid Kings lost to the Madrid Pirates in the "Madrid Derby", this period of time has been a rare day for them to be proud.
First, Melli scored a key goal in the "El Clasico", helping the Madrid Kings defeat Catalonia United in the most critical game and stabilize the first place in the league.
Now he once again stepped forward in an important game, sealed his throat with a sword, and led the Madrid Kings to the semi-finals of the Champions League!
His practical actions fully proved how wrong those who thought after the "Madrid Derby" were that Melli was not good at fighting and could only "treat food"!
If opponents like Catalonia United and Blue and White Munich are not considered "strong enemies", then how many players in the world are not "abusive" players?
Unlike the Madrid Kings who fought hard to advance, the Madrid Pirates played much more calmly in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
When they returned home and took a two-goal lead in total, Parotti adopted a steady and steady strategy and did not risk launching an attack first in the game. Instead, he took advantage of the overall advantage in passing and controlling the game. After controlling the rhythm of the game, he and Valenti Ya slowly circled around.
Madrid Pirates, who are two goals ahead, have the capital and confidence to do so.
If Valentia wants to advance to the semi-finals, they have to press and attack from the beginning of the game.
In this way, the Madrid Pirates seized the space behind them.
So Valentia seemed a little hesitant.
Do you want to attack from the beginning of the game?
What if the attack fails and the ball is lost first?
But if we don’t speed up the pace, isn’t it the same as boiling a frog in warm water?
Valentia was like this for almost half an hour. Seeing that the game time was getting shorter and shorter, they started to speed up.
Then not long after the second half started, the ball was lost.
The goal came from Joaquin Vela, whose shot from outside the penalty area penetrated Valentia's goal.
It seemed that just as Valendia feared, once they attacked at full strength, they would be scored. But they didn't expect that the person who scored the goal was not Hu Lai, whom they had always been wary of, but Joaquin Vela...
Valentia put too much defensive energy on Hulay, but the Madrid Pirates can't rely on Hulay alone - Hulay has not scored a goal this season, or has not played at all. There were a total of thirteen games, and only two were lost.
The team scored 76 goals in the league. Hu Lai scored 30 goals by himself, but he didn't score more than half.
Hu Lai's role is very important, but the Pirates are definitely not a team that can only avoid relegation without Hu Lai as some Chinese fans said.
When opponents care more about Hulay, their attention on other Pirates players will naturally decrease.
After being scored by Joaquín Vela, Valendia was forced into a desperate situation. They had to further speed up and attack, hoping to quickly get a goal back.
Only in this way can we have time and morale to fight back.
If they can't score again in a short period of time, as time goes by, the three-goal difference will gradually turn from a small mountain to Mount Everest, making them unable to think about challenging at all.
What's even more terrible is that what is in front of them is not a "dead thing".
The mountain peak is there, standing quietly and not coming toward people. If you don't provoke it, it poses almost no threat to you.
But the "mountain" of Pirates of Madrid is alive. If you don't go to him, he can come to you!
Thirteen minutes after Joaquin Vela scored, the Madrid Pirates seized the opportunity of Valendia's counterattack. After Juan Ramirez intercepted the ball in the midfield, he passed the ball directly to Dikunzo in front. .
Di Kunzo dribbled the ball into Valentia's penalty area, then passed the attacking Valentia goalkeeper, and then pushed the football into the empty goal!
2:0!
Madrid Pirates led by four goals in total, with less than half an hour remaining.
Although the game is not over yet, it can be basically concluded that the Madrid Pirates eliminated Valentia and reached the semi-finals of this season's Champions League!
"The top four! Hu Lai is about to become the first Chinese player to participate in the top four of the Champions League!" He Feng was very excited.
Yan Kang reminded him: "No, no, no, he is not the first."
He Feng turned to look at Yan Kang. It was difficult to ask directly during the live broadcast, so he could only express doubts with his eyes - Hu Lai was not the first, who else could be ahead of Hu Lai?
Yan Kang saw the question marks on his partner's head and smiled: "Li Qingqing! Li Qingqing is the first Chinese player to participate in the semi-finals of the Champions League!"
He Feng suddenly realized and laughed out loud: "Ha! Yes, that's right! Li Qingqing is the first, and Hu Lai is the second. The two of them... one behind the other, they are really a couple!"
< br>
What both of them were talking about was not about this season.
Although in this season's Women's Champions League, the Madrid Women's Football Team defeated Roma City Women's Football Team 8:0 in the first round and there is no suspense about advancing to the semi-finals, after all, there is still one round in the quarter-finals.
Li Qingqing reached the semi-finals of the Champions League with Paris Eger as early as when he was playing for Paris Eger.
That is also her best result in the Women's Champions League so far.
※※※
Although it seems very frivolous and unprofessional to announce that the team he supports has advanced to the semi-finals before the game is over.
But considering the mood of Chinese fans at this moment, no one cares about this unprofessionalism and frivolity.
This is also true. Valendia, who lost another goal, was demoralized and gradually died down.
At the beginning of the last twenty minutes of the game, Madrid Pirates deliberately slowed down the pace.
With such a score, even if Valentia chases two goals at the last moment, it will not affect the Pirates' promotion to the semi-finals.
Because the advantage of a four-goal lead is too great.
Parotti even replaced Hulay with fifteen minutes left in the game.
Replaced by Maxi Carey.
This is also Carey's first appearance in the Champions League this season.
However, his appearance has no meaning. It is purely symbolic to let him feel the long-lost atmosphere of the Champions League.
No one expects him to be able to produce anything comparable to his performance in the league in these limited ten minutes.
But the home team fans at Pirates Park gave Carey a warm ovation.
In these ten minutes, due to the influence of physical fitness, Kaili's performance was indeed mediocre.
Valentia's offensive also gradually slowed down, losing its spirit.
The final score was fixed at 2:0.
Madrid Pirates eliminated Valentia with a total score of 4:0 over two rounds and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

In addition to the Madrid Pirates and Madrid Kings both advancing to the semi-finals, the other two semi-final places were also determined.
Tramed returned to their home court with three goals behind. This time head coach Kevin Locke started Luo Kai in the game. I wonder if he was disturbed by Luo Kai's attitude in the previous round. Impressed.
Luo Kai, who started the game, was as positive as ever.
Although he did not score or assist, his tireless running back and forth on the right wing still helped Tramed defeat the Turin Bulls 2:1 at home.
You can understand how well he performed in this game from several other statistics.
For example, he has two key passes - "key pass" does not mean an assist, but refers to the last pass before a shot. Different statistical organizations have slightly different definitions of "key pass". Some believe that only the last pass before a non-goal shot is considered a "key pass", while others include "assists". , repeat the calculation.
No matter which definition is used, it means that players who make more key passes have a higher chance of completing assists.
In addition, Luo Kai also had one "created opportunity" data in this game.
The so-called "opportunity creation" is an important indicator to measure a player's creativity. Together with "key passes", it determines the player's offensive creativity and threat level.
Unlike "key passes", "creating opportunities" does not refer to the kind of pass before any shot, and the statistical standards are more rigorous. Refers to those opportunities that create chances for teammates to score goals.
If you want to brush up on the "Key Pass" data, it's easy to brush up. As long as you pass the ball to a teammate, and the teammate receives the ball and completes a shot, it doesn't matter whether the shot poses a threat or not, and whether it hits the goal frame... As long as it counts as a shot in technical statistics, then you have received a "key pass".
But "creating opportunities" requires creating very threatening shooting opportunities. Only such a final pass can be counted in "creating opportunities". Generally speaking, creating opportunities for teammates to face the goalkeeper alone and hit the empty goal can be regarded as "creating opportunities."
However, "creating opportunities" is not equal to assists, because assists are scored, and if you send a through ball to your teammate and let him directly go one-on-one with the goalkeeper, your teammate will have it in his throat. If the pie is dug out, then you will get a "creation opportunity"...
Specifically in this game, when Roquet cut in laterally from the right wing, he sent a through ball, but forward Pap Bonnet hit the opportunity he created past Turin Bulls goalkeeper Alberta. On Qi...
Of course, this is also because Albertazzi reacted quickly and struck in time, almost completely blocking Bonnet's shooting angle.
In addition, Luo Kai also tried four times in the game and succeeded once.
Although he only succeeded once, his four attempts showed that Luo Kai was still very confident in himself and dared to make moves after getting the ball.
This is a great sign for a player who desperately needs a chance within the team.
Although Luo Kai was so active, he also helped the team win the game at home.
But the difference in losing 0:3 in the away game in the first round was too big.
This 2:1 return at home could not help them advance to the semi-finals.
Luo Kai and Tramed stopped in the quarterfinals together.
As a result, in this season's Champions League, although there were as many as five Chinese players participating, in the end only Hu Lai reached the semi-finals, and everyone else was eliminated halfway.
Hu Lai's performance and achievements are fully worthy of his title of "Chinese Football No. 1".

In the "English Civil War" between Stan Park Rangers and Manchester Athletic, Stan Park Rangers had the last laugh.
In the first leg, Stan Park Rangers defeated Manchester Athletic 3:1 at home. In the second leg, Manchester Athletic was tied 2:2 at home by Stan Park Rangers, and was eliminated with a total score of 3:5.
The top two players in last season's Champions League both went home this time when they advanced from eight to four, just as agreed.
Manchester United's Champions League exit has once again caused media and fans to pay attention and discuss Kabangka's departure from Manchester United.
Almost everyone is convinced that Kabangka will no longer be able to stay at Manchester Athletic.
Because this team can no longer satisfy the ambitions of Brazilian talent.
Kabangka, who was as famous as Meili in the past, now can only see Meili and Hu Lai advance to the semi-finals, and he goes home sadly alone.
Even if there is basically no suspense about the Premier League championship this season...it must belong to Manchester Athletic, which means nothing to Kabangka. (End of chapter)
