Chapter 418 Thoughts on Group Leader
Chapter 418 Thoughts on Group Leader
When Li Yi sneaked onto the plane back to Madrid, the expression on this guy's face seemed to be very good.
Some things, once exposed, will become logical. This point was fully demonstrated after Li Yi met Yang Min. You know, Li Yi stayed in Yang Min's room for a whole night.
Although it was a wonderful night, Li Yi didn't get the answer he really wanted. Of course, Yang Min didn't give Li Yi the answer he wanted, but he didn't refuse either. Instead, he had a frank exchange with Li Yi and admitted their relationship.
Yang Min is a very career-minded woman, which is very similar to Miranda, but the current Li Yi is not the former Li Yi. In Yang Min's career, Li Yi can actually provide a lot of help.
Yang Min's frankness was a little bit of a blow to Li Yi's enthusiasm, after all, this guy finally wanted to start a relationship, but at the same time, Yang Min's bluntness made Li Yi let go of the burden of this relationship.
But no matter what, Li Yi will not be the one who suffers, so this time may not be perfect, but the result is still very good.
In the next two days, the two went out on a secret date, but unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Yang Min had his own job, and so did Li Yi.
Yang Min can only be regarded as a newcomer now, with a contract on his back, so he can't help himself. Although Li Yi is not like Yang Min, he can't be self-willed.
In the end, after a short reunion, the two separated again, Li Yi boarded the plane back to Madrid, and Yang Min continued on the road of his dream.
After returning to Madrid, Li Yi could only focus on the team, and at the same time prayed silently in his heart that no players would be injured.
Li Yi's prayer was still useful. When the international competition ended, Real Madrid players began to return one after another, with a fairly healthy body.
However, the first game of Real Madrid's return is not the league, but the fifth game of the Champions League. Real Madrid will usher in the Ligue [-] overlord Lyon at home.
This game also determines the top spot in the group to a large extent. Real Madrid does not need a victory, it only needs a draw to ensure the top spot in the group.
For the first place in the group, Li Yi didn't care. The home and away games were actually the same thing, so Li Yi didn't plan to let all the main players appear in this game. After all, he had just returned from the national team.
Speaking of the fact that there are quite a few international players in the Lyon team, this puts the two sides on the same starting line. No, it should be said that Real Madrid has a slight advantage. After all, Lyon's bench is not as strong as Real Madrid's bench.
This was directly reflected on the court. When the game started, Real Madrid's bench showed the background of the world's No. [-] giant. The midfielder led by Guti firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.
In the 4th minute, Real Madrid completed the first shot of the game. Guti and Gravesen rushed into the Lyon half, and caught the ball into the penalty area after attracting the attention of the defenders.
Negredo, the Real Madrid center leaped high, and hit the header back to Gravesen, who was told to plug in. The latter blasted a long shot from outside the penalty area.
Gravesen's long-range shot is still very high. Unfortunately, Lyon goalkeeper Coupet made a world-class save and finally blocked the ball on the goal line.
Lyon failed to complete a shot in the first 10 minutes, and even had very few chances to enter Real Madrid's half. The Lyon coach decisively changed his tactics after seeing this situation.
The head coach of Lyon is Girard Houllier. The famous French coach was previously the head coach of Liverpool. He was fired by Liverpool in 03-04 and then took a year off. He officially took over the coach of Lyon this summer.
With Houllier's change of tactics, the next game became a bit boring. Facing Lyon who was fully retreating, Real Madrid had no good way.
As the game progressed, Real Madrid's players became impatient, especially Guti, the captain of this game. Raul didn't even make the squad for this game, so Guti, the vice-captain, became the captain of the team.
Guti's fighting spirit is admirable, but he is as famous as Guti's fighting spirit and his bad temper. When the team was unable to break the deadlock, Guti's weakness began to be fully exposed.
The wily Houllier immediately took advantage of this. In the No.304 minute, Thiago's flying shovel completely angered Guti. If the referee was not nearby, perhaps the Real Madrid captain could apply for a red card.
Witnessing all this, the referee finally made a decision to play [-] boards each, and took out two yellow cards to Guti and Thiago respectively.
Faced with this situation, Li Yi on the sidelines was also helpless. He wanted to replace Guti, but he knew that he absolutely couldn't do that at this time, otherwise Guti's temper would definitely explode.
Of course, Li Yi was not afraid of Guti. As the head coach, he had to consider the entire locker room. Besides, with Li Yi's understanding of Guti, he would realize his mistake when he calmed down.
But at the same time, Li Yi also knew that Guti's consciousness was useless. As long as he didn't change, he would never be able to reach the peak. He could only hover between the substitute and the main force in the Real Madrid team.
"Thomas" So Li Yi could only start from another aspect.
"Don't rush to attack in the next time, stabilize the situation until halftime." Don't look at Gravesen who looks fierce, but in fact he is also able to organize and control the rhythm of the game.
When he was at Everton, the Dane was the core of the midfielder, controlling Everton's offensive and defensive rhythms, so under Li Yi's orders, Gravesen skillfully copied his old skills.
The first half of the game ended under the control of Gravesen. In the following time, both sides showed some restraint, so when the first half ended, the score was still 0:0.
"Sorry" and returned to the locker room, Guti really calmed down.
I have to say that Guti is a player that people love and hate. They love him for his talent and dare to admit his mistakes, but hate him for his bad temper and never correct his mistakes.
"I will always pay attention to your performance. If you are still like the first half, then don't blame me." Li Yi said directly.
The main problem for Real Madrid is that the organizers lost their composure. As long as Guti can calm down, Real Madrid will definitely gain something in the second half, so Li Yi did not make any adjustments during the intermission.
Li Yi didn't make any adjustments, but Lyon couldn't sit still. After all, Lyon hadn't given up on being the top spot, let alone beating Real Madrid to become the top spot in the group.
Wiltord and veteran Frey appeared on the stage, and the replacement of two offensive players has already explained everything. The Ligue [-] overlord officially launched an impact on the top of the group.
