Chapter 455
Chapter 455
The league championship has lost its suspense. Although there are still [-] rounds in the league, for Real Madrid and Barcelona, the league is only [-] rounds.
There are still [-] rounds and the remaining [-] rounds are completely different concepts. If it is an ordinary team, there may be a chance, but now Real Madrid is leading, and the point difference is still as much as [-] points.
Real Madrid can concentrate on preparing for the added Copa del Rey and Champions League. No, there should be no problem with the Copa del Rey. With a big lead in the first round, reaching the final is almost inevitable.
The opponents in the final, whether it is the Spaniard or Deportivo, are more than a step behind Real Madrid in strength, so as long as Real Madrid plays normally, there is almost no suspense about winning the Copa del Rey.
This point was fully reflected in the second round of the contest. After returning from Bilbao, Real Madrid welcomed Zaragoza at home in the middle of the week.
Zaragoza had no retreat in this game, so Zaragoza worked hard from the beginning of the game, but unfortunately, their desperate efforts did not bring them any hope.
Even because of their desperate efforts to give Real Madrid a chance to fight back, Owen, who scored a hat-trick in the last match, started again and scored two goals in the first half.
Moreover, these two goals were all scored by counterattacks. In this game, Li Yi's Real Madrid used counterattack tactics to the extreme. Three of the four goals were scored by counterattacks.
The first goal in the second half was also a counterattack, but it was no longer Irving, but another teenager in the team, Mata. This teenager didn't play many times, but his progress was visible to the naked eye.
Such a dense schedule has little impact on a team with a deep bench like Real Madrid, and it even allows young players to get exercise.
With the end of the semi-finals, Real Madrid can finally set their sights on the Champions League. In the middle of next week, Real Madrid will be in the Netherlands and usher in the Champions League quarter-finals.
There is no idle moment. Since returning from the winter break, Real Madrid has been in the stage of a week of double matches. Now that the Copa del Rey has come to an end, the Champions League will immediately follow.
But Li Yi didn't care much about it. He even enjoyed being busy now. To be honest, as a single dog, he would rather be busy.
Although there are many women around this guy, Bellucci often appears by his side. It is said that the full name goddess of the Coppa Italia disclosed her relationship with Li Yi in an Italian program before.
However, Bellucci didn't say that the two children were an accident, but claimed that the two had changed from a couple relationship to a family relationship, and they would raise their two daughters together. In this way, Li Yi was officially single again.
As for Yang Min, who has a relationship with Li Yi, she is a woman who is more ambitious than Miranda Kerr, and there is no possibility for the two of them to go any further now.
Therefore, this guy is now an out-and-out single dog. Although there are many women who want to climb into his bed, this guy still restrains himself.
Want to fall in love, but don't have time, this is Li Yi's present, so he can only devote all his energy to work, so three days passed, and Real Madrid ushered in the No.20 opponent in the fourth round.
Alaves, after the first 23 rounds, Alaves only scored 22 points and is currently at the bottom of the standings, only one step away from the relegation zone.
At present, the bottom three in La Liga are Athletic Bilbao, Mallorca and Malaga. With [-] rounds left in the league, the relegation situation is not star.
It can even be said that from No.10 to No. [-], the teams in the middle may be relegated, because the difference between the points is very small, so small that one game is enough to change the ranking order of many teams.
In this regard, Real Madrid does not need to worry. With a 17-point lead over Barcelona in the league, Real Madrid can calmly welcome the knockout rounds of the league and the European Championship.
No, Li Yi arranged a lineup of half starter and half substitute for this game. Alaves was weak, and the midweek Champions Cup was not strong either. They came from the fallen Dutch giants Eindhoven.
Although Eindhoven broke into the semi-finals last season, they were defeated by Cagliari led by Li Yi in the semi-finals. Therefore, Li Yi has experience against Eindhoven.
Initiative, after the start of the game, Real Madrid immediately took the initiative on the field, but the initiative at the beginning did not help the team open up the situation and gain an advantage.
It can even be said that it is very late. As far as the entire first half is concerned, Real Madrid's ball possession rate reached almost 70.00%. You must know that Real Madrid's current possession of the ball is not Barcelona's possession of the ball. Real Madrid's possession of the ball is almost all converted into shots.
But even so, the first 40 minutes failed to break Bonano's goal, and this situation did not change until stoppage time.
The captain of Real Madrid, at the critical moment, Raul stood up and received a diagonal pass from Zidane. Raul and Negredo, who retreated, made a one-two and rushed into the penalty area to complete the goal.
In the face of Real Madrid's goal, Alaves blamed all the responsibility on the referee. If the referee hadn't stopped for 3 minutes, then Real Madrid would not have been able to break through Alaves' goal.
Neither side made any adjustments in the second half, and Real Madrid still took the absolute initiative. However, Real Madrid's initiative was almost the same as that of the first half. In the first three 10 minutes, they always gained momentum and failed to score.
This also gave Alaves hope. Although Alaves never thought about beating Real Madrid, it would be a good thing for them to get a draw.
Even a draw is enough to change the morale of the Alaves team. After all, Real Madrid's performance this season is too abnormal, and they have lost only one game so far.
The head coach of Alaves began to make substitutions and began to change his tactics, but just 2 minutes after Alaves changed his tactics, Real Madrid expanded their lead.
Zidane, the French veteran's long-range shot from outside the penalty area completely extinguished Alaves' hopes. In the No. 709 minute of the game, Gravesen and Guti's insertion attracted the defensive players.
The 2-0 score snuffed out Alaves' hopes of a comeback but it wasn't the final score of the game as Real scored their third goal of the game just five minutes after Zidane's goal
Soldado, who came off the bench, received a pass from Juanfran. Real Madrid's right back stepped in from the wing, went down under the cover of Zidane, and then sent the ball to the goal with a low pass. Soldado grabbed a point and scored.
On the other side, at the Camp Nou, Barcelona finally stopped their losing streak and slaughtered Real Betis with a score of 5:1.
