Chapter 643
Gnawing the last hard bone of the league, Zidane breathed a sigh of relief.
Real Madrid's next round of league games is 16th-placed Rayo Vallecano, who
met in the first leg of the season, with Real Madrid winning 10-2 at home and breaking double digits in goals.
Rayo Vallecano is currently 16th, three points away from the relegation zone, four more goals away than 17th-placed CF Granada
, hosting Real Madrid, manager Jemmez did not expect to win, his bottom line is not to lose too much, at least in terms of goal difference advantage does not let the opponent catch up.
On the third day after the tie against Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid will travel to England for an important match against Manchester City, and Zidane decisively uses the substitute line-up.
Jiang Ge, Bale, Di Maria, Modric, Kroos and others did not participate in the away challenge to Rayo Vallecano.
Real Madrid, who came off the bench, are stuck in the away game against Rayo Vallecano, with
home side Rayo Vallecano leading 2-0 before 15 minutes, and Real Madrid seem to be on the verge of a defeat?
In the 52nd minute, Danilo provided an assist, Vazquez scored a header and Real Madrid pulled one back.
Five minutes later, Mateo Kovacic equalised with an assist on Jristiano Ronaldo.
At the last moment, Vazquez dribbled the ball into the Vallecano penalty area and was brought down, and the referee decisively whistled to award Real Madrid a penalty.
Jristiano Ronaldo stood on the penalty spot and used the change of rhythm to trick the goalkeeper into shooting low.
3:2, Real Madrid, who came off the bench, won an important victory away from home against Rayo Vallecano!
With the victory, Real Madrid have 89 points and with only three rounds left in the league, the title is almost in hand.
In other matches to be played
, Atletico Madrid narrowly beat Malaga 1-0 at home to keep the theoretical title alive, and if Real Madrid lose all three of their next three games and they win them all, the title will be theirs.
Barca beat Atletico Gijón 6-0 at home, and although they have three points, they may not even have a theoretical title race.
On the Internet, there are already Real Madrid fans who have begun to celebrate the third consecutive La Liga title of Real Madrid!
Three days later, a major match was played at the Etihad Stadium as Real Madrid travelled to Manchester City in the first match of the Champions League semi-final of the season.
Although Manchester City officials have announced a change of manager this summer and have reached an agreement with Pep Guardiola, Manchester City's manager at this time is still Pelegrini.
Reaching the last four, Manchester City's best result in the Champions League, having reached the last 16 of the first two seasons.
For Manchester City, regardless of the outcome, Pellegrini has led the team to history, and of course, he said in his pre-match press conference that he wanted to go further.
In the domestic league, Manchester City have just beaten Stoke City at home to move up to third place, and they are 12 points away from top Leicester City and have completely missed the Premier League title this season.
Manchester City at this time did not yet have the dominance of Pep Guardiola's era, and they were a new team in the Champions League, compared to Real Madrid and Bayern, two teams that have won the Champions League multiple times.
Away to Manchester City, Real Madrid have a natural sense of superiority.
Zidane said in his pre-match press conference that the team's goal is to defend the title and before that, all that needs to be done is to overcome all opponents.
Of course, Zidane paid tribute to Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini sitting next to him.
Pellegrini spent one season at Real Madrid, at the helm of Florentino Galaxy Phase II, although his record at Real Madrid was dismal.
Pellegrini landed in Villarreal in the summer of 2004, and it was under his leadership that Huang Qian transformed from a new La Liga army into a La Liga powerhouse and became the second group of La Liga.
Pellegrini praised Real Madrid as a great club, Zidane as an amazing coach and said he was honoured to lead Manchester City to history.
The politeness of the pre-match press conference does not mean that the game will be soft
, except for Yaya Toure, who is out due to injury, Manchester City's main team has been the main team.
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart;
Defenders: Sania, Kompany, Otamendi, Krish;
Back: Fernando, Fernandinho;
Midfielders: Jesús Navas, David Silva, Delph;
Forward: Sergio Aguero.
Unlike Jiang Ge's original world, De Bruyne does not belong to Manchester City, he belongs to Real Madrid, and he has almost touched the Premier League title on loan to Leicester City this season.
In the knockout stages of the Champions League, before the away goals rule has been lifted, there is a certain advantage of visiting and then home, provided that you do not concede too many goals away from home.
Zidane's starting 11 are
: goalkeeper: Keylor Keylor Navas;
Defenders: Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe, Carvajal;
Midfielders: Modric, Kroos, Casemiro;
Forwards: Di Maria, Jiang Ge, Bale.
This is Real Madrid's strongest squad at the moment, and because Zidane is not used to using Jristiano Ronaldo, the rising star who became popular in the World Cup has been marginalized at this time, and can only sit on the bench in both the league and the Champions League.
The referee of the match was Turkish Cakir and his four assistants were all from Turkey.
In the JG Sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun still invited his old partner Zhang Lu Zhang tonight.
"Coach Zhang, the upstart of the Premier League faces the king of the Champions League, which team are you more optimistic about?" Zhan Jun asked.
"Well, if you hadn't mentioned that I didn't have that concept, the Manchester City club was founded very early, in 1894, a few years before Real Madrid.
Before 2010 they were an unknown team with little influence in England, Europe or the world.
Beginning in the 2009-10 season, with capital from a consortium, Manchester City made a lot of acquisitions in the transfer market, and it was only after winning the first Premier League title in 2011-12 that the team gradually entered the eyes of fans around the world.
In the first four seasons, Manchester City won two Premier League titles and two Premier League runners-up, and squeezed into the Premier League Big4, and fans gradually realized that this team has risen, and what was once a middle and lower team has transformed into a strong team.
Big conglomerates invest so much money, and of course they want to see results not only in winning the Premier League, but also wanting the team to get closer to the Champions League.
Manchester City have reached the last four of the Champions League this season and faced with the opportunity to continue to rewrite history, it would be false to say that they did not give it their all, but unfortunately, their opponent is the mighty Real Madrid, and the difficulty can be imagined.
Manchester City win at home, it's better not to let Real Madrid score away from home, go to the Bernabeu, they will have a hard time retreating. To
sum up, Zhang Lu believes that Manchester City are very eager to make history in the Champions League because the opponent is Real Madrid, and they have little hope of qualifying.
"You mean Manchester City don't have much hope, do you?"
"Fighting for the overall strength and history, Manchester City really have little hope for two legs, and the possibility of a draw or a small win in this game is quite high." Zhang Lu replied.
The melodious Champions League theme song was played, the referee blew his whistle, and the game officially began.
Manchester City kicked off first, David Silva pushed the ball to Fernandinho behind him, and the two players scattered.
Fernandinho continued to pass the ball back, sent it to central defender Kompany
, glanced forward, did not blindly get up with a big foot, pushed the ball to right-back
Sarnia, Sania received the ball and walked a few steps inside, using Vincotti's blocking to get rid of Bale's pressing, dribbling the ball to the front
, past Bale met Modric, the previous north London derby often touched a piece, Sarnia knows the power of this person, get up and send the ball to the front,
The ball fell to the left side where Delf was, he stuck in front of Carvajal and unloaded
the ball, Casemiro leaned up to assist the defense, Delff transferred
the ball to David Silva in the middle, Kroos expected Delf to pass the ball, entangled David Silva in advance, and did not let him receive the ball comfortably
, David Silva never relied on his body to gain a foothold in the Premier League, and the little and fast Spanish midfielder slipped over like a loach, Received the ball before Kroos
, after getting the ball, David Silva deftly turned to face the direction of Real Madrid's goal, made a feint to pass the ball forward, dunked a kick and moved the ball
to the left, striker Aguero thought David Silva would pass, took two steps forward and immediately returned behind the defender
, saw David Silva move to his side, right striker Jesús Navas ran diagonally to cut inside the middle, and Aguero pulled away to the left
David Silva's ability to combine the ball is very strong, and Kroos who came over tried to get off the foot several times but was unsuccessful
, Real Madrid left back Marcelo saw the opportunity to jam David Silva's forward line
, David Silva trembled slightly, the ball passed between Kroos's legs
, the two players of Real Madrid almost collided, David Silva dexterously turned to kill in the opposite direction, did not wait for Ramos to arrive, and kicked the ball to the left side
Aguero started from Carvajal, raised his left leg to intercept the ball, stopped it three or four meters in front of him, followed by a right-footed push into
the far corner of the goal, the ball flew close to the ground, with a certain arc
, goalkeeper Keylor Navas fell sharply, stretched out his arm and touched the football
, the running line of the ball changed slightly, hitting the outside of the far goal post and popping out of the bottom line.
"Wow, just a few centimeters away!" Zhan Jun exclaimed.
"Maybe Keylor Keylor touched it, or the goal would have gone in." Zhang Lu said.
Sergio Aguero thought it was a corner, but the referee awarded Real Madrid a goal.
Aguero insisted Keylor Navas touched the ball and the referee shook his head to signal him to stop beeping.
In this era without VAR, such small movements are difficult for the human eye to notice, not to mention VAR will not intervene on such occasions, so even if it is misjudged, Manchester City cannot do so.
Watching the slow-motion replay shows that Keylor Navas did touch the ball and slightly change its trajectory, otherwise the ball would have scored.
"Manchester City's frontcourt is generally not tall, Silva, Aguero, Keylor Navas, Delph are all one meter seven, these people are very flexible, good foot skills, just this style of play Real Madrid may be a little difficult to defend." Zhang Lu said.
"There is also Raheem Sterling on the bench, and unlike Real Madrid's midfield, Manchester City are playing fast, and Modric and Kroos have a heavy defensive task."
The goal ball is open, Navas passes the ball to left-back Marcelo
, Marcelo takes the ball forward more than ten meters and gives
the ball to Modric, the magic flute gets the ball and wades forward, seemingly to launch a surprise attack from this side, Manchester City's players surround it, Di Maria takes two steps back to prepare to receive
the ball, Modric suddenly gets up and drives the ball to the left wing, the thinking is very clear, the overall situation is very good.
Carvajal ran forward a few steps to get the ball, there are two contact points in front of Bell
and Jiang Ge, Carvajal did not pass the ball at the first time, he took the ball along the right side to rush forward, because Manchester City's defenders are mainly concentrated on the left, this side is an open field
, the defenders need to keep an eye on Jiang Ge and Bale, Carvajal brought more than twenty meters forward to meet the first defender Fernando, this guy still ran from the left
Kompany and Otamendi stared at Jiang Ge and did not dare to come up to make up for the defense, Sania looked at Bale naturally could not separate,
facing Fernando, Carvajal gave him a sudden stop and changed direction, continued to kill with the ball, seeing that it was about to kill to the top of Manchester City's big penalty area
, Otamendi handed Jiang Ge to Kompany alone, and rushed out to intercept
Carvajal, Carvajal has no fear, seems to be going head-to-head with the Argentine central defender?
When Otamendi was about to approach, Carvajal suddenly stopped the ball sideways, gave his back to the Argentinian, and kicked the ball sideways back to Jiang Ge, who had been overtaken by himself
, while Carvajal burst in, Jiang Ge pulled a certain distance to the left, in order to create space for him to rush, Jiang
Ge faced the goal, Carvajal really passed the ball back, he barely looked at the goal, took a step forward and kicked it
The ball flew above Otamendi's head, which was not very tall, and drew an arc straight to the top right corner
of the goal, goalkeeper Joe Hart jumped up, stretched out his arm and pounced on the right side of the goal, but unfortunately it was still out of reach, and Jiang Ge's shot drilled into the net from a ten-point angle!
This series of moves is slow, that is, completed in ten seconds, Manchester City's players gathered on the left did not have time to defend, Carvajal's side is equivalent to a comfortable counter-attack.
The ball went in, and it was Jiang Ge who scored!
After the goal, Jiang Ge pointed to Carvajal, who jumped directly onto Jiang Ge's back.
Jiang Ge ran forward more than ten meters with Carvajal on his back, and his teammates rushed up to hug and celebrate with the two.
Just 3 minutes into the game, Real Madrid led Manchester City 1-0 away!
