Chapter 736 Why are you fighting for the golden boots?

The day after the Real Madrid game, that is, the day they just returned to Madrid, all the top 16 of the Champions League were decided.

Naturally, last year's champions and runners-up, Barcelona and Bayern Munich, both successfully advanced. This is nothing new.

After the top 16 were decided, the draw for the quarter-finals was held in Switzerland.

As expected before the game, although Real Madrid qualified first in the group, the opponents they drew gave them a headache.

This opponent is Juventus from Serie A, which was also the Serie A champion last season. This team is not weak, but it is a pity that there are players who performed better than it in the group stage, so it qualified second in the group. In this way

This resulted in the La Liga champion and the Serie A champion meeting early in the quarter-finals.

The Italian media were very dissatisfied with this. They felt that Platini was trying to kill Serie A. Originally, this season, the only teams participating in the Champions League group stage in Serie A were Juventus, Roma and Naples. As a result, Naples was eliminated from the group.

, Roma and Juventus both advanced in second place, and then Juventus met Real Madrid, while Roma met Bayern Munich.

No wonder the Italian media scolded Platini. No matter how you look at it, Juventus and Roma can't hold their heads high in front of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

Lin Yu's old club Dortmund met Arsenal. This was an unsafe signing, but it was not bad. After all, the two teams did not take advantage of each other in their collisions in recent seasons.

Another thing Chelsea had better luck with was the Turkish Super League champion Galatasaray. As long as they performed normally, they should be promoted.

In every Champions League draw, some people are happy and some are worried, but the team that really wants to win the championship probably won't care who they meet, and that's the case with Real Madrid.

Not to mention the Serie A champion Juventus, even if they meet the Bundesliga champion and last season's Champions League champion Bayern Munich, they will not feel fear. If they meet, they will just destroy the opponent. Anyway, Real Madrid has already

He is no longer the Wu Xia Amon of the past. Now he is really not afraid of the Bundesliga giants.

On the contrary, after the draw, Real Madrid players and fans seemed very happy because their top star Lin Yu finally ended his suspension and could compete in the Champions League.

Currently on the Champions League scorer list, the first one is Liverpool striker Suarez. He actually scored eight goals and is in hot form. The second and third are Messi and Lewandowski, both of whom have

Seven goals were scored. Judging from the current situation, Liverpool met Atletico Madrid, who qualified first in the group. The two sides should be considered a 50-50 draw. Liverpool has Suarez and Atletico Madrid also has Diego Costa.

In fact, whether Liverpool was eliminated or Atletico Madrid was eliminated, Lin Yu cleared an opponent.

It shouldn't be a big problem if Messi and Lewandowski's teams continue to advance. So in fact, Lin Yu's biggest opponents are Messi and the Bundesliga striker.

Seeing this, the media couldn't help but exclaimed, "What on earth is Lin Yu trying to compete with his opponents for?"

Even if Real Madrid performs well this season and can play until the finals, Lin Yu can only play seven games.

But you must know that both Messi and Lewandowski have the possibility of reaching the final. The teams these two are on are not weak at all, or in other words, very strong.

Most media feel that Lin Yu's previous arrogance has some basis and is understandable, but this time it is really too early to talk nonsense. It is better to explain to the media and fans earlier, otherwise he will not be able to fulfill his promise in the end.

Then it would be embarrassing to leave it to grandma's house.

In a duel between Go masters, even if there are two people with very different chess skills, if you let the opponent have seven or even eight pieces, it will be a very troublesome thing, and it can even be said that it is impossible to win.

What's more, in terms of scoring ability, Lin Yu is actually not much better than Messi. Even Lewandowski can still catch up with him. Of course, Lin Yu's comprehensive ability is the absolute strongest, but he can score goals.

It's not about comprehensive ability. Even if Lin Yu can defend, it won't affect the number of goals scored.

Although Lin Yu was the winner of last year's European Ballon d'Or and FIFA Ballon d'Or, that kind of personal honor may not be able to protect Lin Yu from going crazy in the Champions League this season.

Anyway, there are really few people in this world who believe that Lin Yu can fulfill those bold words in the knockout stage.

Because there were so many people who were doubtful, the media actually wanted to know what Real Madrid's coaches and players thought of this matter. After the draw, many Spanish media found Real Madrid's head coach Lippi.

"Do you really think Lin Yu can beat Messi to defend the Champions League Golden Boot this season?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Lippi smiled and said: "As a reporter, you are too unprofessional to ask such a question. Who is Messi? He is just Lin Yu's loser. As a coach, shouldn't I support a stronger player?"

A player? Messi’s glory has passed, it’s just that you don’t want to admit it.”

"You did not answer our question directly. We just want to know if you are sure that Lin Yu can win the Champions League Golden Boot this season?"

This question is obviously a trap. If Lippi answers yes and Lin Yu cannot complete it in the end, it will affect the image of the entire Real Madrid. If the answer is no, it means that Lippi does not trust Lin Yu, which means that

There are internal problems at Real Madrid, which will definitely make Lin Yu feel unhappy.

However, Lippi did not hesitate at all. He said categorically: "Lin Yu has never missed a Champions League golden boot from his debut until now. Do you think this is just a coincidence? Obviously not! So I can be responsible here.

Let me tell you, I support my player not because he belongs to Real Madrid, but because he really has that ability! He is the number one in the world and the best player in the world!"

Of course, the media were still dubious about Lippi's words. They felt that Lippi chose to compromise because of his face and chose to support Lin Yu. In fact, Lippi still didn't believe that Lin Yu could win the Champions League Golden Boot. These media always like

Judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart is probably their specialty.

Even though Lin Yu has dominated the Champions League golden boots since his debut and his scoring ability is obvious to all, the situation this season is special. Why should Lin Yu, who has never participated in the Champions League group stage, compete with Messi for the Champions League gold?

Boots? Isn’t this a fantasy?

"You are not saying what you mean. In fact, you don't think Lin Yu's words can be realized, do you?" The media is still aggressive.

Lippi simply sneered: "It's up to you to decide whether you believe it or not. Lin Yu always thinks carefully before speaking. You think you have caught him because he was so reckless at the Champions League awards ceremony?"

Is it okay? Can you laugh at him? Little do you know that you are actually embarking on a road of slapping yourself in the face!"

"Okay, that's all I have to say, goodbye!"

Since the media did not believe what he said, there was no point in talking anymore. Lippi squeezed out of the crowd under the protection of security guards and stood outside, with strong ridicule on his face.

Do you think I'm trying to flatter Lin Yu?

Do you think I am cheering for my players?

Do you think I am talking in my sleep in broad daylight?

Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!

People who sit in a well and look at the sky! Just wait and see, Lin Yu is far more terrifying than you think!

Messi? Lewandowski? Suarez? Diego Costa?

No! None of them is Lin Yu's opponent. Just wait and see, when the devil starts to devour the whole world, you will know how terrifying he is!

In fact, he was also very unhappy. His players were so underestimated and he was said to be inconsistent. How could he swallow this tone? So! After he went back, he wanted to tell Lin Yu that the fate of Real Madrid had already changed.

Lin Yu's fate is entangled!

After a training session, Lippi really found Lin Yu.

In fact, as the head coach of Real Madrid, Lippi did not have much private communication with Lin Yu. They only had dinner together once. Because he felt that Lin Yu was a self-reliant person and Lin Yu did not need to be forced by him.

Whatever you want to do, that person himself knows what he should do. If he is pushed too hard, it will have the opposite effect, which will not be good for anyone.

Just like when he first came to Real Madrid, he tried to use the opportunity to suppress Lin Yu to consolidate his coaching authority. Fortunately, he did not continue on that path. Otherwise, the Real Madrid head coach standing here today would have been

It's not him anymore.

Some people may say that he is too laissez-faire towards Lin Yu. Whether Lin Yu is visiting a nightclub or flirting with a female bodyguard, he will not criticize Lin Yu, but he has his own reasons. He is a coach, not Lin Yu's guardian.

Not even a kindergarten teacher. As long as Lin Yu performs well on the court, as long as Lin Yu can score goals and lead the team to victory, isn't that enough?

The reason why many coaches object to players visiting nightclubs is that it will affect the game. However, Lin Yu's behavior did not affect the game. Is it necessary to ban it?

He even said in front of all the players in the locker room, "If you can perform as well as Lin Yu, then I won't care what you do in the future!"

This sentence completely choked other players, because no one, including Cristiano Ronaldo, could catch up with Lin Yu's performance, so they had to act in accordance with the club's rules.

Lippi's actions also made Lin Yu very happy. He hated the feeling of being constrained. He was like a student. He could study by himself and be the first in the grade and get admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University, but you had to let him listen.

Your classes have no effect on him at all, and you insist on asking him not to do this or that, which will only make people feel bored, and sometimes even have the opposite effect, wasting other people's self-study time.

Because Lin Yu often trains in the King of Football Training Center, he definitely hopes to have more free time. Lippi is very open to him. He does not feel that this is disrespect, but it is a kind of respect.

So a season has passed, and although the relationship between the two is not good friends, it is definitely considered a close relationship.

If possible, Lin Yu really doesn't want Lippi to retire. He hopes Lippi can coach until he retires, because he just likes the atmosphere Lippi created for him.

Lippi asked him to stay and talk to him today. Lin Yu didn't think much about it. He thought it was just a few words of encouragement. After all, the suspension was finally over and the knockout rounds were about to begin. Lippi definitely didn't want him to be too nervous.

But what surprised him was that when Lippi found him, he was gritting his teeth and looking very angry.

"Coach, what's wrong with you?"

"The draw results for the quarter-finals are out, do you know?"

"I know, our opponent is Juventus. Although they are very strong, we can win." Lin Yu smiled.

"No! No!"

"Ah?" Lin Yu was a little stunned. Isn't it wrong to win?

"Not only must we win, but we must also score more goals! We must score more goals!" Lippi became more and more excited as he spoke. It was obvious that the media really pissed him off.

"Haha, that's natural. Of course I will score more goals. I said at the Champions League awards ceremony that I would win the Champions League Golden Boot. This season's European Golden Ball award went to Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller.

But the Champions League golden boot must be mine!” (To be continued
