Chapter 484 Semifinals

Chapter 484 Semifinals

This time celebrating that Real Madrid is no longer in control. After all, the league has already won the championship, and the outcome of the next game has nothing to do with it, but at the same time, it should not be too much. Although they have won the league and the Copa del Rey double, there is still the Champions League to play.

In the end, after a day of celebration, the Real Madrid players calmed down and returned to the training ground, but even if the players calmed down, the day and night of celebration still had some impact on the players.

The players on the training ground are almost lacking in energy, and this is even directly reflected in the No.30 three rounds of the league. In this game against Getafe, Real Madrid once again received a draw. This is also the last three draws that Real Madrid received.

Since the No.30 draw with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid has ushered in three consecutive draws. Of course, these three consecutive draws will not affect the league championship. Now Real Madrid's attention is all on the midweek Champions League semi-finals.

Fortunately, Real Madrid's starting lineup is still a group of experienced veterans. They know when to relax and when to tense their nerves.

Originally, Li Yi was a little worried. After all, it was his first time leading a wealthy family. When he was in Cagliari, Li Yi was a young player who had to worry about everything and needed to be behind him all the time.

Of course, this refers to the superstars and experienced players in the Real Madrid team. The young players in the team still haven't been able to adjust. It's just that the next Champions League semi-final has nothing to do with the young players. Li Yi didn't get angry.

Fully preparing for the game, after the match against Getafe, Real Madrid's starters began to focus on the next Champions League semi-finals, and as the head coach, Li Yi also needed to work hard.

Although the two parties are very familiar with each other, they need to be more careful because of the familiarity. Of course, this is a double-edged sword. Let's see who can make better use of it.

Real Madrid is undoubtedly stronger than Villarreal in terms of strength in a single round, but in cup competitions, especially in other competitions such as the Champions League, strength does not mean everything. Otherwise, Villarreal would not have entered the semi-finals.

Quiet, extremely quiet, compared to the match between Barcelona and Arsenal, the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal is much quieter.

Li Yi didn't cooperate, and neither did the Real Madrid players. As for Villarreal, they didn't say anything. The Chilean engineer is not a head coach who likes to talk.

Li Yi is very good at it, but this guy usually doesn't take the initiative to trouble others, but as long as he opens his mouth, he almost never loses.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Italians don't like to talk about it. The Italian tradition is elegant, easy-going, and it's true on the court.

Moreover, in Italy, the head coaches change frequently. Today in AC Milan, tomorrow may appear in Inter Milan, so naturally you can't say too much.

As for the Spaniards, it seems to be the same. Although the Spanish coaches do not have Italian traditions, their personalities are not very flamboyant.

At this point, the Premier League is different. The Premier League is a league that is notoriously talkative. Ferguson even reversed Newcastle United with his own mouth.

Now, the Premier League is even more lively. Not only are Ferguson and Wenger in love with each other, but the addition of Mourinho and Benitez has made the Premier League stage a four-nation war.

Although Benitez wasn't the kind of person who took the initiative to provoke, whenever he spoke, the madman would be deflated. In this regard, he actually got along with Li Yi a little bit. Although he didn't take the initiative to speak, as long as he opened his mouth, his opponent would be speechless.

Time was spent in this kind of silence, but with the arrival of Villarreal, this silence began to be broken. Not to mention the arrival of Villarreal players attracted fans, the pre-UEFA interview alone cannot be avoided.

"Real Madrid is very strong. They not only created the record of winning the league in advance, but also won the Copa del Rey" to show their weakness. In subsequent interviews, Pellegrini was all swearing that Real Madrid is strong.

However, the Chilean engineer obviously forgot that this kind of trick would not work in front of Li Yi. As a Chinese, Li Yi's attainment in this area may not be comparable to that of many people in China, but in Europe, it is absolutely no problem to throw two blocks.

Besides, Li Yi's character is cautious, let alone such an important semi-final, how could Li Yi carelessly underestimate the enemy.

"Villarreal is a good team, but they are still far behind us. The match in the first half of the season has proved this." However, Li Yi did the opposite, and even used the first match to stimulate Villarreal.

In the No.18 round of the league, in the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal, goalkeeper Vieira played the leading role in most of the half, but in the end he was conceded three goals by Real Madrid.

Beckham's corner kick is hailed as the most exciting goal so far this season, but with the current situation in La Liga, Beckham's goal is likely to win the best goal of the season.

Sure enough, Li Yi's countermeasures achieved good results. After Li Yi said so, some Villarreal players jumped out.

"Are you saying that you will play tricks with Pellegrini for us?" Li Yi was a little worried.

But soon Li Yi put this worry to the wind, because he had some confidence in himself, and he also had confidence in Villarreal's main lineup.

In this Villarreal team, the core of tactics is Riquelme. As long as Real Madrid can restrain Riquelme, then the offensive threat of Villarreal will be greatly reduced, as proved in the last match.

Evolution?Change tactics?To be honest, they don't have this ability with Villarreal's conditions. Although they can be called a strong team, there is still a big gap between a strong team and a giant.

Then Li Yi got the starting lineup to prove this point. Although Villarreal's starting lineup has changed a lot from the last match, the real core has not changed.

Barbosa replaced Vieira. Although Vieira had a very exciting and outstanding performance against Real Madrid, he lost his main position because of an injury in the second half.

The goalkeeper is the most special existence among all positions in football. The probability of injury is much lower than other positions, but once injured, the main position is likely to be lost.

And such examples are not uncommon. It is said that Buffon, the number one goalkeeper in football today, seized the opportunity of the main goalkeeper Luka Buchi to prove himself and replace him.

Another example is Neuer, who has just entered the first team of Schalke 04 this season. This future German goalkeeper will seize the opportunity of the main goalkeeper's injury in the next season and soar into the sky.
