Chapter 469 Do you still need to watch the Real Madrid game? Waking up is another victory that I don’t know how to win!
As time approaches the end of May, the war between the five major leagues that lasted for ten months has finally dissipated.
The championship situation of the five major leagues this season can be said to be as ups and downs as ever.
The first to decide the winner without much suspense is the Bundesliga and the Premier League!
At the beginning of May, Bayern and Manchester United were already leading the second place in the standings by more than ten points.
In the middle of the season, Ligue 1 also ushered in its finale.
If you want to choose the "most surprising" team from the five major leagues this season, then Monaco in Ligue 1 will definitely be the choice of many people.
Monaco, which has young talents such as Mbappe, B-seat, Lemar, and Fabinho, has performed extremely well this season.
Whether it is in the French Ligue 1 or the Champions League, they have played a youthful storm that makes people excited!
Although they encountered Manchester United early in the Champions League round of 16, they were single-handedly eliminated by Ling Feng and failed to stage the dark horse counterattack in history.
However, being eliminated from the Champions League early is not a bad thing. It also allows Monaco’s young people to retain more physical fitness and focus on the league!
In mid-May, Monaco defeated Lille at home and won the Ligue 1 championship one round ahead of schedule!
So far, this Ligue 1 team that does not belong to France has overturned the rule of Paris Saint-Germain, ended the Ligue 1 hegemon's four consecutive championships, and once again stood at the top of Ligue 1 after a lapse of 17 years. Top!
As for Monaco, which has many rising stars in this team, the most impressive thing is naturally their ferocious attack.
Scored 102 goals in 36 league rounds, the team with the most goals in the five major leagues this season!
Among them, the 18-year-old "prodigy" Mbappe emerged like a dazzling star, making the French exclaim "another French supercar"
However, the better the performance, the greater the exposure. Gao, the young talents in the team have quickly become prey in the eyes of major giants.
The league has just won the championship here, and the French media over there have concocted stories such as "Manchester City is interested in Bernardo Silva", "Paris is determined to take Mbappe away" and "La Liga is paying close attention to Lemar." "Wait for the transfer scandals related to Monaco players.
While ushering in the club’s eighth Ligue 1 title, Monaco’s management must also begin to consider how to retain the team’s young talents.
In Serie A, Juventus is They were defeated by Manchester United in the Champions League semi-finals and once again missed their dream of winning the Champions League.
The Champions League still owes the 39-year-old Buffon a Champions League trophy.
However, after Juventus' old boys returned to the Apennine Peninsula, they still showed the defending champion's super dominance over the league.
After defeating Crotone in the penultimate round, Juventus still won the Serie A championship this season with a four-point advantage in advance, achieving its sixth consecutive championship!
Among the five major leagues, the competition for the championship is fiercest than La Liga.
The suspense of the championship was left until the last round before the winner was determined!
With the away victory over Malaga, Real Madrid successfully maintained its 3-point advantage in the standings. Under the leadership of team legend Zidane, they finally regained the La Liga championship after five years!
In addition to the La Liga championship, Real Madrid also reached the Champions League final this season, ushering in the opportunity to hit one of the most difficult records in football, the "Champions League Defending"!
It is worth mentioning that the most terrifying thing about this Real Madrid team is not the star Cristiano Ronaldo who still maintains a high level of performance at the age of 32 and suddenly broke out in the Champions League knockout rounds;
< br>It’s not that Asensio, James Ronaldo, Morata, Isco and others are sitting on the bench, the enviable depth of the bench;
It’s about creating a new “metaphysics” in football. "Zinedine Zidane, the tactical coach!
Since taking up the Real Madrid coach, Zidane can be said to have carried forward the word "metaphysics".
No matter how the outside world criticizes Real Madrid for playing without tactics or advantages, it does not give fans a sense of security that "they will definitely win this game."
But Zidane's team can always win the final victory of the game (many of them with a buzzer beater), and will perform even better in key games.
Such an elusive football metaphysics has attracted countless people, and has even spawned a hot meme on the Internet:
"Do you still need to watch the Real Madrid game? Wake up. Another victory that I don’t know how to win! ”
It is precisely because Zidane's metaphysical football is so wonderful that he was dubbed "Qi Xuanzong" by fans in the far East.
Is Qi Xuanzong’s metaphysical football more powerful, or is the curse of defending the Champions League more difficult to break?
And this is also the last unsolved mystery of this season
. . .
As the five major leagues come to an end, most of the teams have been disbanded, and the players have also taken their annual vacation.
There are still thirteen days left before the last "big drama" of the season, the Champions League final.
For Manchester United, which has reached the Champions League final again after six years, this game is definitely the most important game in recent years!
Under the leadership of Mourinho this season, Manchester United, which was still competing for fourth place last season, has transformed into a unrivaled league champion!
From the beginning to the end of the season, Mourinho transformed into a magician and used magic to bring the minds of Red Devils fans back to the period when the Red Devils dominated the Premier League:
At that time, the Manchester United coach Ferguson is the best coach in the Premier League;
Today, the Manchester United coach is Mourinho, another best coach in the Premier League!
At that time, Manchester United’s frontcourt trident was Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Tevez, which made people shudder;
Today, Manchester United’s frontcourt trident is Rooney, Ibrahimovic , Ling Feng, even more frightening!
At that time, Manchester United was the dominant player in the Premier League;
Today, Manchester United is also the champion of the Premier League!
This season, Manchester United has won two championships, the League Cup and the Premier League.
And even reached the Champions League final!
For Manchester United, which has not been competitive in the Premier League or even the Champions League for several years and is in a trough period, such a report card can definitely be called satisfactory!
Of course, if we can win the club's highest honor, the Champions League, it will definitely be a perfect season for the club!
The next ten days will be their precious preparation time.
You know, their opponent is Real Madrid, the king of the Champions League who is known as the "Galaxy Battleship" and attracts countless stars!
Of course, as early as the day after defeating Juventus in the semi-finals, the coaching team led by Mourinho had already begun to study Real Madrid’s tactics and staffing
And in After the final game of the league, Mourinho also gave the players two days off, allowing them to go home, have a good rest, and reunite with their families.
Two days later, the Manchester United players returned to Carrington and officially entered preparations for the Champions League final.
Carrington Base.
In a certain tactical room, all the Manchester United generals gathered together.
On the high-definition projection screen, the video of the first leg of the quarter-finals between Real Madrid and Bayern was played.
During this period, Mourinho would pause the game from time to time, and then explain and analyze the game situation:
“When attacking, their starting point is usually Kroos and Modry. Odd, we have to stop these two before they play the ball."
"When they retreat, they adopt a regional defense, mainly to cut off the passing route of the player with the ball. Give the ball to Ling Feng and let him make the breakthrough."
"Have you noticed? Casemiro, the No. 14 defensive midfielder, will not immediately step forward to press for the ball at times like this. Instead, he chooses to retreat. His role on the court is to slow down the opponent's attack speed. Rather than grabbing the ball."
As for Mourinho's analysis and explanation, the Manchester United generals are like serious students, receiving the team coach's tactical guidance attentively.
Although coaching Real Madrid was already four years ago.
And this Real Madrid lineup has also undergone major changes compared to when I was coaching. However, many things are still the same as Mourinho is familiar with.
For example, Real Madrid's counterattack is as sharp as ever;
For example, Modric is still the core of Real Madrid's midfield;
For example, Ronaldo's speed and shooting skills are still top-notch
< br>Of course, in his opinion, this Real Madrid team is indeed very strong.
Even better than the Real Madrid team I coached back then!
Coupled with the inspection and analysis of the coaching staff and scouting team, he can be sure that this is definitely the most difficult game to play this season.
Of course, this is to be expected.
No one who can make it all the way to the Champions League finals relies on luck.
However, although Real Madrid is strong, Manchester United is not weak either!
This is the first time Mourinho has led the team to the Champions League final after seven years.
It is also an excellent opportunity to once again prove to the world that Mourinho is still the best head coach in the world!
Therefore, he takes it very seriously and basically works overtime in the office until one o'clock every night.
It is worth mentioning that after learning that Mourinho stayed up late every year, Ling Feng also came to the head coach's office after the day's training and advised him to rest early and not before the final. Exhausted.
Mourinho, who had previously been unable to convince his wife, daughter, or right-hand man, listened to Ling Feng's words and went home from get off work at twelve o'clock for the first time.
In addition to organizing the whole team to watch Real Madrid game videos and highlights to learn as much as possible about the opponent's tactics and the characteristics of the players, the team will conduct corresponding tactical drills every day.
Of course, the main focus is on how to restrict Real Madrid's playing style and how to launch an offense around Ling Feng.
In Mourinho's view, how to get Ling Feng to exert 100% of his strength is the key to victory or defeat!
As long as Ling Feng plays comfortably and can create a threat in the frontcourt, then they can penetrate Real Madrid's goal!
Only by scoring goals can they win the game!
Win the championship!
While the team was preparing seriously for the game, Manchester United's top management also expressed condolences to the team.
In order to motivate the team, the club's senior officials also promised the team high Champions League bonuses.
It is worth mentioning that in the contract signed by Ling Feng and Manchester United, there is such a clause:
If he can help the team win the Champions League, he will receive five Generous bonus of one million euros!
Of course, for Ling Feng, who now has a net worth of over 100 million, five million euros is nothing.
It doesn’t matter what the bonus is.
What he cares about is whether he can lead Manchester United to win the Champions League in his first Champions League season!
In 2017, when there are no international competitions, if he can defeat Real Madrid to win the Champions League, hold the team honors of the Triple Crown, and win the Premier League Golden Boot and assists, he will achieve a grand slam of personal awards. Data, this year’s Golden Globe Award belongs to him!
Whether it is for his first Champions League championship or for the Ballon d'Or, he must defeat Real Madrid in the upcoming Champions League final!
. . .
At the same time, far away in the Spanish capital Madrid of the Iberian Peninsula, Manchester United's final opponent Real Madrid is also preparing intensively.
As the Champions League champion last year and the team that has won the most Champions League titles, Real Madrid certainly has the confidence to do so.
However, in Zidane's view, even if Real Madrid is equal in strength on paper, arrogance will make people unable to make reasonable judgments, resulting in mistakes on the field.
As one of the very few coaches in the coaching world who has played in the Champions League finals and World Cup finals during his player period, Zidane certainly knows that it is fatal to underestimate the enemy and overestimate oneself!
Therefore, the thing he did most during the preparation stage was to beat the players!
"This is a team that can beat us!"
"Don't take it lightly!"
"We must treat it with caution from the first second of the game!"
Cristiano Ronaldo, who played against Ling Feng in the European Cup semi-finals, also reminded his teammates not to underestimate their opponents in training and daily life.
Especially the one named Ling Feng!
Real Madrid generals were surprised to see Cristiano Ronaldo's high regard for another No. 7, but they also slowly stopped disdainful of the Manchester United team.
As the Champions League final gets closer, related discussions and topics on the Internet are becoming more and more intense.
Some people hope that the Red Devils will return and reach the top of Europe again;
Some people hope that Real Madrid will break the curse of the defending champion and show that everything is possible in football;
Also Some people simply hope that the two teams can play a real peak battle, a battle with faster offensive and defensive transitions, which can bring a visual feast to fans around the world!
However, judging from the voting conducted by major media, the support of defending champion Real Madrid is obviously higher.
And the odds given by major betting companies are even better for Real Madrid.
Indeed, judging from paper strength alone, Real Madrid is definitely the most luxurious team in Europe, bar none!
Every position is world-class, there are no shortcomings at all.
In comparison, Manchester United's overall lineup and player strength are slightly inferior to Real Madrid.
Moreover, Real Madrid has the advantage in terms of experience and psychological advantages in the finals.
Therefore, the outside world is more optimistic about Real Madrid.
It is worth mentioning that even football king Pele has publicly stated that he is optimistic about Real Madrid winning the championship.
You know, the football king Pele has always been the famous "crow's mouth" in the football prediction world. The teams favored by the football king in the competition have fallen into disarray.
After Pele made his remarks, Real Madrid fans cried and cried on the Internet, asking Pele to withdraw his magical powers.
In this way, in addition to breaking the curse of defending the Champions League, Real Madrid will also have a head-on confrontation with Pele's "crow's mouth" curse this time!
As both sides actively prepare for the battle, the time is getting closer to the final decisive battle step by step.
Just three days before the game, in an interview in Spain, Real Madrid captain Ramos’ remarks added a bit of smoke to the game on the eve of the war:
< br>"Manchester United is not our opponent at all!"
"Ling Feng? You mean that No. 7 boy. He may be very good in the Premier League. But, in my opinion, he will not cause us any harm at all. What a threat.”
"We are Real Madrid! Of course we will win the game! And lift the trophy!"
