Chapter 435
Chapter 435
With no bloodshed, and with the main force at their best, Real Madrid won the No. 14 victory in the league as they wished, and it is also the No. 14 consecutive victory.
In the first half, Ronaldo and Raul teamed up to break Getafe's goal once. In the second half, Ribery and Beckham scored again to rewrite the score to 4:0.
It is said that before the start of this game, Ribery appeared at the Bernabeu with his golden ball in his hand. Yes, Ribery successfully grabbed the Golden Globe from Ronaldinho.
If it was before the national derby with Barcelona, it might be a bit controversial that Ribery won the award, but after the derby with Barcelona, Ribery is already worthy of the Golden Ball.
After winning the golden ball, the call for Franck Ribery to be named as the World Player of the Year has also become louder and louder. This is a good thing for Ribery himself and Real Madrid.
With two goals in each half, Real Madrid finally won Getafe 4:0, but this victory failed to help Real Madrid expand its points with Barcelona.
After losing to Real Madrid, Barcelona quickly adjusted and won Racing Santander by a big score in the 2th round of the league.
However, it will not be that simple for Barcelona to win in the next round. Barcelona will face Sevilla in the No.15 round of the league, while Real Madrid's opponent is Malaga.
Of course, before the league, both teams need to finish their final round opponents in the Champions League group stage. Like Real Madrid, Barcelona has already qualified ahead of schedule, but Barcelona's final round opponents have some difficult ties with Li Yi.
Cagliari, Barcelona's opponent in the final round is Li Yi's former club, and this contest is related to whether Cagliari can qualify for the group stage.
Without Li Yi, Cagliari's situation would be even worse. Not only did they fail to enter the top four in the league, but with the strength gap between Barcelona and Cagliari, it would be difficult for Cagliari to stand out from the encirclement.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Although Barcelona's victory or defeat in this game has no effect on it, they still won the game in the end, and even gave people a feeling of wanting to be beaten to death.
In the words of the media, Barcelona failed to defeat Li Yi's Real Madrid in La Liga, and they wanted to take revenge by defeating Li Yi's old club in the Champions League group stage.
Even Cagliari thinks so. Of course, Cagliari fans will definitely not blame Li Yi. After all, Cagliari is still in the Champions League because of Li Yi.
However, Barcelona will obviously not admit it, and Rijkaard even stood up to refute the rumors in person. However, Rijkaard's behavior obviously gives people a feeling that there is no silver 300 taels here.
For Cagliari's elimination from the group, Li Yi naturally felt sorry for it, but at the same time felt a little fortunate. It's not that Li Yi wanted Cagliari to be eliminated, it was because he was too familiar with UEFA's piss.
Although Platini didn't take office until 07, UEFA's tradition of making gimmicks has long existed, and Platini is just one step closer.
Not surprisingly, if Cagliari enters the knockout round, the opponent will definitely be Real Madrid. Not to mention the natural matchup of the first and second teams in the group, the connection between the two names Li Yi and Cagliari is enough to attract everyone's attention.
Therefore, this behavior of Barcelona has also caused dissatisfaction with UEFA. You must know that this is not the era of Plantini, and Barcelona is likely to be put on small shoes.
The reason why Li Yi had time to care about Cagliari was mainly because of Real Madrid's excellent record. In the last round of their visit to Greece, Li Yi led the team to Piraeus near Athens.
This is a port city, the largest port city in Greece and one of the top ten port cities in Europe. It is also the home of Olympiakos.
The port city has a unique flavor, let alone the country of Greece, but Li Yi and Real Madrid obviously didn't intend to play, even though the last round of Real Madrid was very relaxed.
If possible, Li Yi could even give the players half a day off, but this is just thinking about it, as an enemy of this city, even if there is no impact in the last round, wandering alone in this kind of city is a dangerous thing.
Therefore, after a day, Real Madrid is either training and adapting or staying in the hotel. At most, everyone is playing games in the hotel, playing table tennis or something.
As for the next game, the starting lineup was decided early, and the players who did not make the squad did not even come to Greece.
And when the game really started, the group of Real Madrid's substitutes also showed their strong strength and good condition, especially for the young people inside. The Champions League stage is a very rare opportunity for them to perform.
Under the control of Captain Guti on the field, Real Madrid's offensive was higher than later, and finally broke the deadlock in the No. 209 minute. Soldado's shot, Real Madrid tore through Olympiacos' defense through a wonderful pass.
1:0 is also the final score of the first half. Real Madrid actually has several good opportunities in the future. Unfortunately, Negredo and Soldado on the front line lack the ability to seize opportunities.
However, Real Madrid's offensive was as strong as ever. In the second half, Real Madrid recovered somewhat, but this recovery helped Real Madrid expand its lead.
Seeing that Real Madrid recovered, Olympiacos began to press up, but was hit by a quick counterattack by Real Madrid. The teenager Mata scored and rewritten the score to 2:0.
However, this score still cannot guarantee Real Madrid's victory, because then Olympiacos moved back a goal, Rivaldo, in this goal, the Brazilian showed the demeanor of the former World Footballer.
But this was Rivaldo's only bright performance in this game. In the following time, Real Madrid's defense did not give Rivaldo a chance. In the 703rd minute, Li Yi also replaced Woodgate, who was back with a yellow card, with Pavon.
And when the game ended, the score was finally fixed at 3:1. Just after Li Yi replaced Pavon, Real Madrid rewrote the score again.
The goal from the captain of Real Madrid, Guti and Gravesen's cooperation, the two rushed to the front of the penalty area, and then Guti passed the ball into the penalty area, but Soldado had no shot angle and could only pass back. Facing Soldado's return pass, Guti directly broke the goal of Olympiacos again with a long shot.
"Is this considered Bruce's compensation for Real Madrid?" After the game, some media made such headlines.
Last season, Li Yi eliminated Real Madrid in the group stage. This season, Li Yi came to Real Madrid and entered the knockout stage with a complete victory in the group.
