Seven Crowns

Chapter 560: Chelsea

After the end of the Champions League, he returned to the domestic league.

On April 8, in the 32nd round of La Liga, Real Madrid played against Valencia at home.

Valencia played well this season and is currently ranked third, second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona.

However, facing Real Madrid led by Lu Wenbin at the Bernabéu Stadium, although Valencia played a defensive counterattack, he was still scored 4 goals in the end, and Valencia himself only scored a face-saving one in the second half. Goal.

Lu Wenbin scored twice, Real Madrid beat Valencia 4-1 at home, has made a cross-season undefeated record of 36 games, points have reached 90 points.

There are still 6 league rounds left this season, and Real Madrid can almost certainly break 100 points, which is another La Liga record.

On April 11, in the 33rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid was a guest at Calderon and ushered in the Madrid derby with Atletico Madrid.

The derby in the same city was full of gunpowder.

Seeing the scenery of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid is naturally very upset. There is a chance for a direct confrontation, Atletico Madrid is naturally very exciting.

Even if you can't win the league championship, it's good to be able to interrupt Real Madrid's unbeaten record.

This game resulted in two red cards, five yellow cards, and one player on each side was injured.

In the end, Real Madrid brought back a 3-3 draw with difficulty from Calderon. All three goals were scored by Lu Wenbin, two of which were direct free kicks.

If it weren't for Lu Wenbin, Real Madrid might really lose in this game.

Although the momentum of winning streaks in all competitions has been ended, the cross-season unbeaten times of Real Madrid reached 37 games after the Madrid derby, which is only one game away from the 38 cross-season unbeaten games created by Real Sociedad in the 1979/1980 season. .

Three days later, in the 34th round of La Liga on April 14, Mourinho did not go all out to catch up with the so-called 38 unbeaten record, but chose a rotation.

The same city derby that played away at Atletico consumed too much energy for the Real Madrid team, and three days later it was the Champions League semi-final with Chelsea, or away.

As a result, Mourinho was forced to choose a rotation for this game that might tie the Royal Sociedad's 38 unbeaten record in La Liga, and even the most reassuring Lu Wenbin did not enter the big list.

Fortunately, Real Madrid's rotation is also much stronger than the bottom-ranked Sporting Gijon, let alone the Bernabeu at home.

After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 3-1, and Real Madrid won a victory at home with their defensive counterattack.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Bernabéu stood with thunderous applause, and countless Real Madrid fans excitedly clapped, cheered and screamed, celebrating their tying the 38 La Liga unbeaten record.

After the game, the global media reported on Real Madrid's 38 unbeaten record that Real Madrid tied with Real Sociedad.

The British media in particular are very positive, because in the next game, Chelsea's Champions League semi-final opponent is Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has Chelsea’s former coach Mourinho, the world’s first man Lu Wenbin, and the former Premier League Golden Boot Cristiano Ronaldo, and they have achieved a terrifying record of 38 undefeated La Liga games.

With such a terrifying Real Madrid, will the newly appointed assistant coach Di Matteo have a chance to lead the team to defeat the opponent and advance to the Champions League final?

Since the start of the season, Chelsea coach Boas has been mediocre, with no outstanding results.

After losing 1-3 to Naples in the Champions League 1/8 finals, the Chelsea executives finally lost their last patience. On March 4, 2012, Boas was announced to be dismissed from get out of class and assistant coach Di Matteo accepted the team.

Di Matteo's first test after taking office was the second round of the Champions League 1/8 final in Naples.

As a result, Chelsea staged a reversal under the leadership of Di Matteo, home 4-1 comeback and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

Then relying on a firm defensive counterattack, he defeated Benfica in two rounds to advance to the semi-finals, and now meets Real Madrid.

For Di Matteo, this is a more serious test than Naples.

On April 16, Real Madrid arrived in London a day earlier, the players participated in the adaptive training, Mourinho participated in the pre-match press conference.

Faced with British media reporters and old clubs, Mourinho did not save a bit of face, claiming that his faith is victory.

What's more, Chelsea changed coaches in the middle of the season and the tactical lineup was unstable. Real Madrid will definitely take away a victory from Stamford Bridge.

The implication is that he dismissed Di Matteo, Chelsea's new coach.

Mourinho's remarks naturally angered the Chelsea team.

Captain Terry claimed in an interview that although he was full of respect for Mourinho, he would lead the team to defeat Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge and give Mourinho a disastrous defeat to "welcome" him back to London.

In the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, it is natural that everyone wants to make it to the final and win the championship. As for the old friendship between master and apprentice, no one cares anymore.

Di Matteo even claimed that he will let Real Madrid see what a real defensive counterattack is.

Mourinho did not refute.

Di Matteo is the assistant coach of Boas, and Boas was once the assistant coach of Mourinho.

It can be said that Di Matteo's defensive counterattack revealed a trace of Mourinho's shadow.

The apprentice of the apprentice wants to defeat the master, or when the player's strength is not as good as that?

Mourinho dismissed it.

However, when the time came to 20:45 on the evening of April 17th, when the first round of the 2011/2012 Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Real Madrid started at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho saw Di Matteo's greatness. .

Chelsea’s lineup is goalkeeper Cech, defenders Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Ashley Cole, midfielder Essien, Mikel, midfielder Bosingwa, Lampard, Mata ~www.ltnovel.com~ Forward Drogba.

Although not comparable to Real Madrid’s worth, on the central axis, from striker Drogba, to midfielder Lampard, to midfielder Essien, to central defender Terry, to goalkeeper Cech, they are all world-class stars. The strength is extraordinary.

After the start of the game, Chelsea retreated across the board. It was Essien who was in charge of marking Lu Wenbin personally, but the defenders next to him were Terry, Lampard, Mikel, Cahill and others.

The defensive abilities of Essien and Terry are well-known in the world, and Lampard is also a good interceptor in the midfield, and Lu Wenbin is not easy to pass any two of them together.

A 20/20 dribbling does not mean that an opponent who defends 18 or 19 will be able to stabilize and make a smooth breakthrough. Moreover, it is still a few people from the other team that the difficulty of the breakthrough has increased exponentially.

Moreover, Chelsea's formation has been maintained relatively intact, and there has been no confusion caused by Lu Wenbin's breakthrough.

Even if Lu Wenbin passes the ball and assists, it is difficult to get a chance when Chelsea shrinks the defense.

What's more, in front of Chelsea's door, there is still Cech, the world-class doorgod.
