Chapter 302 Advance to the semi-finals! Those three awesome men with the aura of conceding goals [a big seal of ten thousand words, begging for monthly votes]

After returning from the national team, La Liga ushered in the 30th round, and Atletico Madrid challenged Villarreal away.

Affected by the return of many international players to compete in the country and the Champions League quarter-finals next Wednesday, Yang Hao had to make a significant rotation in this game.

Throughout the first half, Atletico Madrid actually played very well and completely controlled the situation.

In the 13th minute, Messi opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

In the 25th minute, Torres scored another victory.

No matter how you look at it, this is a sign of a big victory.

But in the second half, especially after the 60th minute, Yang Hao replaced Messi and Kaka one after another. As a result, in the 76th minute, Atletico Madrid lost a corner kick.

Just 3 minutes later, Aguero scored another victory.

Subsequently, no matter how Atletico Madrid attacked, they could no longer break Villarreal's goal.

2 to 2, the two sides shook hands at the Love Song Stadium.

Atletico Madrid's unbeaten streak extends to 63 games.

Regarding this game, Yang Hao did not blame the players, but clearly pointed out the problem.

"We made some mistakes in the midfield at one point."

Yang Hao said, "At Atletico Madrid, the role of the midfielder is to drive the team through movement and passing, handing the ball to the forwards so that they can find opportunities in the final attack."

"In the first half, our players' movements were very accurate, especially the pressing and pressing in the frontcourt. They did a good job. The football moved very fast, and it was difficult for the opponent to keep up with our rhythm."

"But in the second half, all that disappeared."

The reasons for this situation are quite complicated, but a very important point is that "our players are relatively tired, and after the second half, their running ability gradually declined."

"This can easily lead to the distance between our three lines being widened. Although it may only be about 10 minutes, we are facing a very good team and they seized the opportunity."

Yang Hao did not cover up the problem, but pointed out the team's crux.

It is indeed a decline in physical fitness that leads to the player's lack of running ability, and Villarreal seizes the opportunity.

This kind of thing is so normal.

Especially when I traveled a long distance to play for the national team in the middle of the week.

Barcelona defeated Real Betis 2-1 away from home.

Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 3-1 at home.

Deportivo defeated Murcia 3-1 at home.

In fact, the three games were not easy to play, and every team was affected by the national team.

……

April 4, Liverpool Anfield Stadium.

In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid challenged Liverpool away.

The Red Army, playing at home, actively pressed forward from the beginning. Benitez adopted his best 4231 double midfielder formation, allowing Gerrard and Lucas Leiva to form the double midfielder in the midfield.

England's Crouch was at the front and headed towards Atletico Madrid immediately.

Iniesta kicked the ball back to the right wing. When it was handed to Alves, the players in the frontcourt quickly moved forward.

Alves directly made a long pass to the frontcourt, looking for Drogba.

But Skrtel got the first step and cleared the ball.

The ball is still in Liverpool's half.

The second-tier players from Atletico Madrid quickly controlled the landing point.

When the Sheets Army arrived in the frontcourt, they immediately showed an aggressive momentum, especially on the front line, which was full of aggression.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Iniesta sent a pass from the outside of the penalty area to Drogba in the penalty area.

Unexpectedly, the Ivorian faced the direction of the attack and knocked the ball with his heel. Instead of stopping the ball, he knocked the ball to the left side of the goal.

After Robben stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he immediately started, shook off Carragher, rushed to the bottom line, passed the ball from the bottom line, broke through Carragher, and rushed into the penalty area.

But the Dutchman was stuck near the baseline and barely managed to shoot with his left foot, hitting the side net and failing to threaten Liverpool's goal.

Atletico Madrid took the initiative at the beginning, trying to gain the upper hand.

This forced Liverpool, who had taken the initiative to press forward after the opening, to gradually retreat. The most important thing was to stabilize the defense first.

"As Mourinho said before, no matter who encounters Atletico Madrid now, they must first consider defense."

"Liverpool is no exception."

"Benitez obviously wanted to grab a start tonight, but now that Atletico Madrid is suppressing them, even if they don't want to defend, it's impossible."

"But Liverpool must also be careful not to retreat too far."

"This is the experience of all defensive teams facing Atletico Madrid. Once they retreat too deep, the defense will be very passive."

"Atletico Madrid players have extremely strong personal abilities. Once superstars like Messi, Kaka, Drogba, Iniesta and Robben are given the opportunity to get the ball, they may create threats at any time."

"Especially getting into the box, it's very bad."

"After the opening, Atletico Madrid seemed to pay more attention to the attack on the left side. Robben faced Carragher. This seems to be the area where Atletico Madrid focuses on attacking tonight."

"On the contrary, Messi, who was on the right, did not enter the state immediately after the start."

"But it could also be a smokescreen for Atletico."

"The Sheets' offense is very flexible and full of virtual and real situations. This is also a problem that all teams encounter when facing Atletico Madrid."

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, he saw Atletico Madrid break through with the ball from the left again, and the cross was headed out by Hyypia.

But the ball still landed on the outside. Xavi Alonso stopped the ball with his chest and passed it diagonally to Messi on the right side of the penalty area.

At this time, Atletico Madrid's frontcourt players were quickly exiting the penalty area.

Kaká, in particular, fell back to almost the same position as Messi.

With his back to the right sideline and facing to the left, Messi volleyed the ball passed by Xavi Alonso with his left foot and stopped it for the running back Kaká.

The Brazilian stopped suddenly and used his body to block Gerrard behind him. He still did not stop the ball and stopped the ball back to Messi. Then he turned around and quickly made a diagonal pass to the right, taking away Gerrard.

After Messi stopped the ball right in front of the right corner of the penalty area, Riise followed, and Lucas Leiva immediately came over to help defend and cover the ball, obviously aware of the Argentine's threat.

But as soon as Messi stopped the ball and saw Kaká rushing towards the right side of the penalty area from behind Riise, he immediately feinted a shot, pretending to pass it to Kaká. In fact, the outside instep of his left foot suddenly moved the ball horizontally inward. cut.

The Argentinian started too quickly and immediately left Riise behind.

After Messi took two horizontal steps, Lucas Leiva rushed over immediately.

But at this time, Messi pushed the ball with the inside of his left foot.

The ball was passed diagonally in front of Lucas Leiva to the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Iniesta rushing into the right side of the penalty area from behind Lucas Leiva, catching up with Messi's pass just in time, stopping with his left foot and taking off with his right foot.

"Messi's wonderful pass..."

"Iniesta has a chance..."

"The ball went in!!!"

"Atletico Madrid took the lead in scoring Liverpool's goal in just 6 minutes!"

"It's still Yang Hao's iconic opening attack! In just 6 minutes, Atletico Madrid took the lead and scored!"

"Liverpool's defense is really difficult to defend against Atletico Madrid's skillful passing and the players' tacit movement."

"In just 6 minutes, the goal was declared lost!"

"1 to 0!"

"Atletico scored a valuable away goal!"

After Iniesta scored, he rushed to the sideline excitedly, but was quickly chased by Messi, Kaka, Drogba and others, who surrounded him and celebrated the goal with him. .

Yang Hao also applauded on the sidelines.

This is actually a very typical Atletico Madrid goal.

The players not only have skillful passing, but also use this kind of quick interspersion to stretch the defense and form a threat.

This is what Yang Hao said before, running is very important.

But there are also certain hidden dangers.

It was when they faced Villarreal before that they conceded two goals in a short period of time.

When the three auspicious treasures are around, it is always easy to lose the ball.

But now, Thiago Silva is still recovering from injury, and Evra has returned from injury.

……

After the opening, Atletico Madrid got a very good start.

Liverpool seemed a little impatient.

At Anfield Stadium, it was another focus game like the Champions League quarter-finals. They conceded a goal in the first 8 minutes. How could they play in the next game?

Therefore, the Red Army also began to actively launch an onslaught. The focus was to use Crouch's threat in the frontcourt to create offensive opportunities.

Evra was hit by Kuyt on the left.

But after Liverpool pressed out, they attacked a little too hard.

The rapid impact flow of the Premier League team can still put a certain amount of pressure on Atletico Madrid.

But as long as the previous attack cannot pose a threat, especially when Atletico Madrid adapts and takes a breath, they can immediately retaliate.

In the 14th minute, Atletico Madrid intercepted the ball at the front of the penalty area. Xabi Alonso made a long pass and accurately sent the ball to the left side of the front court.

Robben moved forward at the fastest speed, and after catching up with Xavi Alonso's pass on the left, he drove the ball straight to the left side of Liverpool's penalty area, and was caught up by Carragher near the baseline.

The Dutchman had to make an emergency stop. After slowing down, he retreated to the outside of the penalty area. He passed a high ball diagonally with his left foot and transferred the ball to the right edge of the top of the penalty area.

Drogba and Kaka had already rushed into the penalty area at this time, but Messi was lagging behind, and it was only then that he rushed over.

I saw the Argentinian facing Robben's diagonal pass. Gerrard had already rushed to Messi's side, but Messi picked the falling football with his right foot and just missed Gerrard.

Liverpool's defensive players in the penalty area did not expect that Gerrard would be picked out by Messi in this way when they met each other, so that when Messi ran horizontally to receive the ball, there was no trace at the top of the penalty area. one person.

After Messi caught up, he unloaded his left foot against the falling football. When he saw Skrtel and Lucas Leiva rushing over at the same time, the Argentinian dribbled the ball to the left with his left foot.

This trip happened to allow him to get rid of Skrtel and Lucas Leiva and open a channel to the left side of the goal.

Messi didn't hesitate at all. After catching up, he directly kicked the goal with his left foot.

The football made a beautiful curve, bounced in front of the goal, and got into the lower left corner of the Liverpool goal at a faster speed.

"The ball went in!!!"

"Messi!!"

"World wave!"

"A curved shot from the top of the penalty area, sending waves around the world!"

"Messi wins another victory for Atletico Madrid!"

"2 to 0!"

"After Liverpool lost the ball, they attacked so anxiously that Atletico Madrid's counterattack penetrated their own defense."

"I have to say that Atletico Madrid's counterattack was really sharp."

"Robben was also very smart in handling the ball. Instead of going directly to Drogba and Kaká in the penalty area, he went to Messi. It was very surprising."

"Of course, Messi's handling is absolutely top-notch!"

"We can look at the slow-motion replay. This pick and the subsequent offload. Football really listened to his words, and the last curve ball volley was also hit. very exciting."

"In the first 14 minutes, Atletico Madrid scored two goals!"

"It's a very bad situation for Liverpool now."

"The most important thing for the Red Army now is to stabilize their position and try to ensure that they don't concede the ball. Otherwise, they may be threatened by Atletico Madrid's attack again."

"Perhaps Benitez should consider adopting a defensive counterattack tactic instead of rashly continuing to attack."

……

"Liverpool are attacking."

"After conceding two goals in a row, Liverpool simply let it go tonight. They urgently need to recover the goals they conceded."

"But we saw that Atletico Madrid played without any pressure after taking a 2-goal lead. This is obviously not a good sign."

"Liverpool still have to be careful, especially since they seem a little anxious now."

"Look at this time, give it to Gerald."

"Passing the ball into the penalty area, trying to find Crouch."

"Ramos blocked Crouch and Neuer came out and held the ball."

"Atletico Madrid's defense was well organized this time."

"The cooperation between Ramos and Neuer is very tacit, and the goalkeeper attacks promptly and decisively."

"Neuer holds the ball and throws it quickly."

"Wow, Neuer threw the ball very far."

"Straight to the center, Iniesta."

"Atletico Madrid launches a quick counterattack, and Liverpool must quickly defend."

"Leave it to Robben on the left."

"Robben takes the ball and faces Carragher..."

"Beautiful pass!"

"Robben's speed is up!"

"But Liverpool retreated very quickly and Hyypia came out to defend."

"Robben had to slow down and try to go towards the ribs."

"Okay, we see the left wing and Evra comes in."

“There are opportunities here on the wing.”

"It's time for Rob to pass."

"Pass to the bottom line."

"Evra jumped in at high speed, made a cross from the left side of the penalty area..."

"In the middle, Drogba..."

"The ball went in!!!"

"Drogba!!"

"In the 21st minute, Drogba scored with a header!"

"A quick counterattack from Atletico Madrid, a very threatening attack."

"Drogba calmly seized this opportunity in front of the goal and scored Atletico Madrid's third goal with a fierce header!"

"3 to 0!"

"Only 21 minutes into the game, Liverpool were defeated!"

"Conceded three goals in a row."

"Among them, two goals came from Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack."

"As we have always emphasized before, when playing against Atletico Madrid, we must not give them too much room to counterattack."

"Liverpool gave Atletico Madrid such opportunities twice in a row, and they took advantage of them both times."

"We can say that Atletico Madrid is very efficient because they have a group of top superstars with very strong personal abilities."

"But at the same time, we should also see that Liverpool's defense tonight was really disappointing, especially the defense and interception in the midfield."

"I have to say that in the opening 21 minutes of the game, what we saw was not a showdown between a La Liga giant and a Premier League giant, because the strength shown by the two teams was not at the same level at all."

"I can only say that Atletico Madrid were in excellent form tonight."

……

When the game reached this moment, everyone already knew the result.

Atletico Madrid used their best opening attack to create a goal, and then Liverpool's counterattack gave Atletico Madrid two key counterattack opportunities.

Yang Hao's team seized these two excellent opportunities.

When Drogba scored the third goal, the entire Anfield stadium became silent.

They all feel that Liverpool's overall strength is not at the same level as Atletico Madrid.

Perhaps the Red Army is very competitive in the Premier League, but in front of the giants in La Liga, they are still somewhat difficult to withstand.

After leading by 3 goals, Yang Hao decisively signaled the team to slow down the pace and focus on passing and cutting. He firmly controlled the ball and the rhythm, slowed down as much as possible, and took advantage of Atletico Madrid's midfielder's advantage in passing and controlling the ball.

Liverpool have a big problem right now.

He wanted to press out, but he was afraid that Atletico would counterattack and hit him behind again.

But if they don't press out to attack, they are now 3 goals behind.

How to do?

More importantly, they completely lost possession of the ball. Without pressing out and pressing the whole court, they could not grab the ball at all.

Benitez is known as an expert in the European war, especially the season when he led Liverpool to win the Champions League, which fully demonstrated his status as a tactical master and made him famous.

What he is best at is balance, especially defense.

But at the moment, he also encountered problems that were difficult to solve.

The Spaniard stood on the sidelines, wiping his mouth constantly, obviously very worried about the current situation.

Liverpool's situation is very passive.

Yes, passive.

Benitez knows very well that the biggest advantage of Atletico Madrid's passing and cutting style is to control the initiative of the game.

It seems like now, the initiative is in Atletico Madrid's hands, they can play however they want.

What about Liverpool?

There aren't many options from the start.

I believe Anfield fans are also very surprised at this moment. Why did Liverpool collapse like this tonight?

Will they concede 21 goals in a row in 3 minutes?

The real reason is that Benitez wanted to attack at the beginning.

He knew how powerful Atletico Madrid was, so the tactics he formulated before the game were mainly defensive. But playing at home, blindly defending tightly, this is not a Premier League team, nor is it Liverpool's style at Anfield.

He just wanted to grab a shot at the beginning and see if he could create a goal.

At the very least, it would be good to disrupt Atletico Madrid's offensive and organizational rhythm.

Unexpectedly, before Liverpool could press out, they were attacked by Atletico Madrid.

After losing a goal, the players were probably a little confused and their rhythm was a little messed up.

Therefore, they wanted to continue to implement the tactics before the game, grab a wave, and strive to equalize the score.

As a result, the second goal was conceded.

Then I lost it again and again, and lost the third one.

This is the problem Liverpool encountered after the start.

Even though Benitez was standing on the sidelines, he could still see it clearly.

He really didn't have any good options.

Now, pressing out to attack is dangerous, retreating is slow suicide, and the initiative in the game is still at Atletico Madrid's feet.

Once it runs out, who knows what will happen?

……

Benitez is indeed a master tactician.

Compared with Yang Hao's previous life, Liverpool now lacks Xavi Alonso, Mascherano, Arbeloa and many other stars, but under Benitez's overall tactics, the Red Army still played very well. There is wholeness.

Especially on the defensive end.

After Atletico Madrid took a 3-goal lead and slowed down their offensive, Benitez decisively chose to play it safe.

This caused a bit of a stalemate on the scene.

It wasn't until the last 10 minutes of the first half that Liverpool launched another wave of offense.

Obviously, Benitez's calculation was very shrewd. He wanted to rely on this last wave of strong attacks to play directly to the end of the first half. It would be best to enter the halftime break with a goal.

Yang Hao now has 3 goals in hand and is not afraid of fighting with Liverpool.

Even at Anfield.

The most important thing is that Yang Hao is not very confident in the three auspicious treasures in the defense. God knows whether these three big treasures will create any surprises for him?

As a result, the two teams fought against each other for 10 minutes. Liverpool tried hard to attack. Players such as Crouch, Kuyt and Babel all took turns to hit the goal, but most of them were long-range shots from the outside.

The real threat was Gerrard's two long-range shots, one of which went straight into the upper right corner of the goal.

But Neuer was very focused and made a very beautiful flying save to block Gerrard's shot from the baseline.

In the end, Atletico led 3-0 in the first half.

During the halftime break, Yang Hao repeatedly warned the players that they must not relax their vigilance, especially when facing Liverpool.

"In front of Liverpool, a 3-0 lead in the first half is the most dangerous score in the world!"

Yang Hao's words confused the Atletico Madrid players in the locker room.

what's the situation?

Why is it that even though we were leading 3-0 in the first half, we were still the most dangerous?

Is there some secret we don't know about?

Well, maybe, the boss just wants to stimulate us.

Otherwise, who else in the world would lead by 3 goals in the first half and still lose the game?

If so, it is really pure...

Yang Hao decisively chose to attack in the second half.

Benitez seemed to have guessed it, so he held on to the start.

The situation fell into a stalemate again, and no one was able to create a good opportunity.

Atletico Madrid created several shooting opportunities, but failed to form an absolute advantage. Messi, Kaká, Iniesta and others were closely marked every time they got the ball.

When Benitez's team concentrates on defense, it is not easy to break through his defensive formation.

This guy has developed a lot of different coping strategies over the past few years.

For example, tonight, facing Atletico Madrid, which has excellent passing and ball control skills and smooth offensive coordination, he knew very well that even if they tried their best to grab the ball, it would be difficult to steal much of the ball from Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, he focuses more on organizing an orderly defense and emphasizing the players' availability.

It requires players to appear where they should be when defending.

And through this overall orderly movement, Atletico Madrid's pull and transfer are contained.

This style of play worked extremely well in the first 30 minutes of the second half.

On the one hand, it was a 3-goal lead, but it was also true that Liverpool's defense was well organized, which made it difficult for Atletico to threaten in the first 30 minutes of the second half.

Liverpool began to make substitutions after the 70th minute, replacing Benayoun and Cahill one after another to strengthen the team's offense and try to create some offensive opportunities in the final period of the game.

The Red Army's last-minute attack did put a lot of pressure on Atletico Madrid.

The most powerful part of the whole game was that Yang Hao used up all the substitution quotas in the 78th minute. The last substitution was to replace Iniesta with Mascherano, leaving Mascherano and Xavi ·Alonso forms a double defensive midfielder.

The team also changed into a 4231 formation, which barely stabilized the defense.

But in the 87th minute of the second half, Liverpool still seized a chance.

This is a corner kick attack.

Hyypia hit a very weird header near the penalty spot, hit the inside of the right post of the goal, and bounced into Atletico Madrid's goal, 1-3!

Yang Hao shook his head speechlessly.

"This auspicious three treasures is really an awesome man with the aura of conceding goals!" Yang Hao said speechlessly.

Juanma Lillo, Guardiola and others all smiled bitterly.

In fact, whether it is Ramos, Pepe, or Neuer, their performance in the second half of the season is remarkable.

Especially after Thiago Silva was injured, the performance of the three was really good.

But with Atletico Madrid holding high the banner of offensive football this season, coupled with the intensity of the Champions League quarter-finals and the intensity of La Liga this season, it is really difficult not to concede goals.

Just imagine, Atletico Madrid now only has two central defenders and a goalkeeper in the back line.

Look around the world, the only one.

Except for Atletico Madrid, no other team dares to play like this.

This is also due to the team's strong midfield control and frontcourt attack firepower suppression.

But with this style of play, there will inevitably be omissions. If the opponent hits the ball behind you, and a player with good speed is involved, it will be very dangerous.

If you insist on saying that Atletico Madrid has any shortcomings...

That is set piece defense and free kick offense.

Yang Hao is carefully cultivating Messi's free kicks, but it still needs some time.

……

Atletico Madrid finally defeated Liverpool 3-1 away from home.

This battle attracted strong attention from the entire British media and fans.

After losing like this at home, everyone knows that the result is almost there.

It will be difficult for Liverpool to come back in Madrid.

At the post-match press conference, Benitez said stiffly that he believed the team had a chance to reverse the situation at the Emirates Stadium, but no one believed this at all.

Of course, Atletico Madrid dare not be careless.

Yang Hao also said in a low-key manner that the two sides still have a second round of competition and it is too early to say anything now.

In another game played at the same time, Barcelona defeated Chelsea 4-2 at home.

This battle was very good.

First, Reyes opened the scoring for Chelsea.

The Spanish winger is really working hard to participate in the European Cup.

But then, Ronaldinho caused a foul by dribbling the ball in the frontcourt. During the free kick attack, Xavi assisted Bruno Alves with a header and scored, successfully equalizing the score.

Afterwards, Diego Milito assisted Eto'o to score another victory and successfully reversed the score.

After changing sides in the second half, Reyes' wonderful performance assisted Anelka to score and equalize the score again.

But before the end of the game, Ronaldinho first assisted Xavi to score, and then Ronaldinho scored a goal himself.

The Brazilian completely directed this reversal.

4 to 2, Barcelona reversed Chelsea at home!

Yang Hao watched the recording of this game on the plane returning to Madrid from Liverpool.

He found that Mourinho changed his tactics.

Different from Yang Hao's previous life, Thiago Motta did not leave Barcelona this season, but he has been suffering from injuries and rarely played games.

But recently, after returning from injury, he began to be reused under Mourinho.

More importantly, Mourinho and Cruyff completely fell out.

Yang Hao has a feeling that Mourinho doesn't want to wrong him anymore.

Or it should be said that he no longer wants to accommodate Barcelona.

Last summer, in order to get the opportunity to coach Barcelona, ​​Mourinho promised that he would change his coaching style and try to let superstars such as Ronaldinho, Henry, and Eto'o compete on the same field to create the most offensive team. Barcelona with firepower.

This resulted in Mourinho's team playing very awkwardly and stumbling throughout the season.

The reason is not difficult to guess. Mourinho did not sort out the team's midfield and offense well.

But recently, especially after losing to Atletico Madrid in an away game, Mourinho has been desperate.

He adopts 433 tactics.

There are basically no changes in the defense line, the difference is in the midfield and frontcourt.

Thiago Motta trailed behind, and in front was the combination of Mohamed Diarra and Xavi.

Sometimes it's Baptista paired with Rosicky or Van der Vaart.

A very important point of this style of play is that Diarra's coverage and sweeping can inject iron blood and intensity into Barcelona's midfield, and Xavi's running coverage and passing sorting can help Barcelona create more offensive opportunities.

Thiago Motta's presence not only protects the defense, but his passing and sorting abilities are also very strong.

In front is the combination of Ronaldinho, Diego Milito and Eto'o.

Yes, Mourinho got Henry.

Or should be said, he rotated the three superstars of Ronaldinho, Henry and Eto'o.

This caused Barcelona to reverse Chelsea 4-2 at home.

Another obvious change is that the defense of Abidal, Puyol, Bruno Alves and Zambrotta has been trained very well by Mourinho.

Although Chelsea conceded 2 goals in this game, judging from the overall defensive performance, it is becoming more and more stable.

how to say?

When Yang Hao saw this game, he really felt a sense of deja vu.

It was like what he had seen in his previous life, the Barcelona version of Mourinho's Inter Milan team.

Overall it looks really similar.

"We will face Mourinho's Barcelona in the semifinals!" Yang Hao frowned.

Mourinho has now trained Barcelona.

Although it was 4 to 2, in fact, Barcelona played quite steadily.

On the contrary, it was another game the day after the Atletico match, Real Madrid played Manchester United at home.

Wenger's team defeated Manchester United 2-1 at the Bernabeu Stadium and played very dangerously.

Facing his old club, Ronaldo was extremely active, and in the 25th minute of the first half, he used a long shot to break Van der Sar's goal and open the scoring for Real Madrid.

But then, Ribery and Rooney's connection helped Manchester United equalize the score.

After that, Real Madrid completely took advantage of passing and controlling the ball, but Manchester United's defense was very well organized.

The double central defender combination of Vidic and Ferdinand, coupled with Marcos Senna and Carrick in the midfield, made Manchester United's defense very tight. The Galacticos were unable to break through Manchester United's defense for a while.

Until the end of the game, there was a chance for a corner kick. Beckham took the corner kick. Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high in the crowd and headed the goal, giving Real Madrid another victory.

2 is better than 1!

Real Madrid defeated Manchester United at home, but the victory was very dangerous.

In another game, Sevilla was on the road and evened the score twice after falling behind twice. However, in the end, Adriano's furious shot in the 87th minute knocked out Meazza. court.

In the end, Sevilla lost 2-3 away from home.

After this result came out, the entire European football world was shocked.

From the current point of view, Atletico Madrid has basically advanced ahead of schedule. Although Barcelona and Real Madrid both won at home, there is still a little suspense.

As for Sevilla, although they lost 2-3 away from home, they still have a chance to return home. After all, they have two away goals in hand.

The strength of La Liga is still clearly demonstrated in this season's Champions League.

Even a team like Sevilla can perform on a par with Inter Milan.

This can't help but remind many people of Villarreal back then.

Wasn't Yellow Submarine a dark horse all the way to the finals?

Who dares to say that Sevilla has no chance of an upset?

……

After returning to Madrid from Liverpool, Atletico Madrid took a short break and welcomed Emery's Almeria.

Emery repeatedly expressed his respect for Yang Hao before the game, and also said that this time he came with a learning mentality.

But his players were clearly unprepared.

In the first 2 minutes, Marcelo, who replaced Evra in the starting lineup, got a chance to hit the goal on the left side of the penalty area, opening the scoring for Atletico Madrid.

Just 4 minutes later, Torres formed a single shot in the penalty area and was fouled from behind by Almeria defender Pulido.

Although the game had just begun and Atletico Madrid was leading by one goal, the referee clearly gave out a red card and a penalty kick.

This was a decision without any controversy, and even Emery did not protest.

Torres calmly took the penalty and scored another victory for Atletico Madrid.

There was one player missing in the first 6 minutes, and they were facing Atletico Madrid. You don’t have to think about how this game will turn out.

What made Almeria worse was that in the 27th and 39th minutes, midfielder Juanito received two yellow cards in a row and was directly sent off with a red card.

This Juanito is not the central defender Juanito recruited by Yang Hao into the national team.

Atletico Madrid finally defeated Almeria 8-1 at home.

This is already a sign of mercy from Atletico Madrid.

By the 71st minute, after Atletico Madrid scored their eighth goal, they basically stopped organizing attacks.

To some extent, this also leaves face to the opponent.

If we continue to attack, we will really get an astonishing score.

More importantly, Almeria did not take any measures to anger Atletico Madrid, so Atletico Madrid also took care of the opponent's face.

8-1, Atletico Madrid slaughtered Almeria at home.

At the post-match press conference, Yang Hao took the initiative to defend Emery, saying that the two red cards changed the trend of the game.

"In fact, it is difficult for the head coach to completely control the players' play on the court. Changes that are beyond the head coach's expectation often occur, such as sudden fouls."

Yang Hao spoke highly of Emery and believed that his team performed very well in La Liga this season.

"This game was an accident."

It is rare for Yang Hao to take the initiative to defend his opponent.

The Spanish media also gave Yang Hao enough face and did not further criticize Emery. They just felt that he was really unlucky. He got a red card at the beginning and two red cards in the first half. It was natural to lose.

When Emery communicated in private, he was very grateful to Yang Hao for his protection.

He knew it himself.

Even if there is no red card, he may not be able to lose honorably.

Because he lost the ball at the beginning, Torres had already scored a solo goal that time.

Judging from the trend at the time, Almeria had been completely stunned, and it was inevitable to lose consecutive goals.

There are two games worth noting in this round.

Real Madrid drew 1-1 away with Real Mallorca, and Barcelona drew 0-0 at home with Getafe.

The reason why these two games require attention is that both Real Madrid and Barcelona have arranged substantial rotations in this round.

Atletico Madrid has been undefeated in 64 league games so far.

They cannot compete with Atletico Madrid in La Liga this season.

So, both Real Madrid and Barcelona are fighting for the Champions League.

……

Three days later, Atletico Madrid faced Liverpool at home in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

If they lose 1-3 at home in the first leg, Liverpool must score at least 3 goals in the second leg away from home.

Therefore, from the beginning, Liverpool took the initiative.

Benitez also carefully crafted Liverpool's opening attack, trying to suppress Atletico Madrid from the beginning.

But at the 23rd minute, at the critical moment, Kaka stepped forward, dribbling the ball from the front of his own -meter area, rushing past Liverpool's midfield, and sent a straight kick from the -meter area. Pass the ball.

Messi successfully countered offside, broke into the right side of the penalty area, made an emergency stop when receiving the ball, and tried to dunk past Skrtel and cut inside, but failed to deceive the Liverpool central defender.

The Argentinian suddenly changed direction again, dribbling the ball from the outside of Skrtel into the small penalty area, and scored with a low shot with his right foot, opening the scoring for Atletico Madrid, 1-0!

This is also the only goal in the game!

After Atletico Madrid scored a goal, Liverpool launched a crazy attack.

However, Atletico Madrid's continuous counterattacks threatened Liverpool's goal, especially Drogba's close shot that bounced off the post, making the Ivorian regret it.

After that, Atletico Madrid created opportunities continuously, and Liverpool was gradually suppressed by Atletico Madrid.

The Sheets' Legion's advantage in passing and controlling the ball worked, completely controlling the game.

After the Red Army made consecutive substitutions in the second half, there was still no improvement.

In the end, they had to accept a 0-1 defeat on the road.
