Fox in the Penalty Area

The King of Madrid finally defeated the blue and white Munich in the away game 2:1 with Meli's goal.

In the two rounds of the "European Derby", they had the last laugh.

And Meli's outstanding performance in the face of the defending champion also won him wide acclaim.

Melly's fans were naturally elated.

Since the King of Madrid gave the Madrid Pirates in the "Madrid Derby", this period of time is considered a rare day for them to be proud.

First, Meli scored a key goal in the "National Derby", helping the King of Madrid beat Catalan in the most critical game, and stabilized the first position in the league.

Now he once again stood up in an important game, sealed his throat with a sword, and led the King of Madrid to the semi-finals of the Champions League!

He used practical actions to fully prove how wrong it was to say that after the "Madrid Derby" that Meli was not good at fighting, but only "abuse food"!

If opponents like Catalan United and Blue-White Munich are not considered "strong enemies", then how many players in the world are not "abuse"?

Unlike the Madrid King who fought hard to advance, the Madrid Pirates played more calmly in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals. .

Back at home, when they were leading by two goals in total, Parotti adopted a steady and steady strategy. He did not take the risk of launching an attack first in the game, but took advantage of the overall advantage in passing and control to control the rhythm of the game. Ya slowly dealt with it.

The Madrid Pirates, who are leading by two goals, have the capital and confidence to do so.

If Valentia wants to advance to the semi-finals, he will have to attack from the beginning of the game.

In this way, the space behind them was seized by the Madrid Pirates.

So Valentia seemed a little hesitant.

Is it to storm from the beginning of the game?

What if the onslaught fails and the ball is lost first?

But if you don't speed up the pace, isn't it tantamount to boiling a frog in warm water?

Valentia fiddled like this for almost half an hour. Seeing that the game time was running out, they started to speed up.

Then shortly after the start of the second half,

Just dropped the ball.

The goal came from Joaquín Vela, who slid past Valentia from outside the box.

It seemed that as Valentia feared, once they attacked at full strength, they would be scored. It's just that they didn't expect that the person who scored the goal was not Hu Lai, who they had been wary of and worried about before, but Joaquin Bella...

Valentia puts too much defensive energy on Hou Lai, but the Madrid Pirates can't rely on Hou Lai alone-Hu Lai has not scored this season, or has not played at all. There were a total of thirteen matches, and only two were lost.

The team scored 76 goals in the league, and Hu Lai scored 30 goals alone, not more than half of them.

The role of Hu Lai is very important, but the Pirates are definitely not a team that can only relegation without Hu Lai, as some Chinese fans say.

When opponents pay more attention to Hu Lai, their attention to other pirate players will naturally drop.

Valentia was cornered after being scored by Joaquin Benjamin. They had to speed up further and press on the attack, hoping to get a goal back quickly.

Only in this way will there be time and morale, and the Jedi will fight back.

If they can't score again in a short period of time, as time goes by, the difference of three goals will gradually change from a small mountain to Mount Everest, making them unable to challenge at all.

What's more, what was in front of them was not a "dead thing".

The mountain peak is there, standing quietly, and will not come towards people. If you don't provoke it, it will hardly pose any threat to you.

But the "mountain" of Madrid Pirates is alive, if you don't walk towards him, he can walk towards you!

Thirteen minutes after Joaquin Vela's goal, the Pirates of Madrid took advantage of Valentia's counterattack, with Juan Ramirez intercepting the ball in midfield and directing a long ball in front of Di Kunzo .

Di Kunzo dribbled the ball into Valentia's penalty area, then circled the Valentia goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the empty goal!

2:0!

The Madrid Pirates lead by four goals overall, with less than half an hour left in the game.

Although the game is not over yet, it can basically be asserted that the Madrid Pirates eliminated Valentia and reached the semi-finals of this season's Champions League!

"Final four! Hu Lai is about to become the first Chinese player to participate in the semi-finals of the Champions League!" He Feng was very excited.

Yan Kang reminded him: "No, no, he is not the first."

He Feng turned his head to look at Yan Kang. It was not easy to ask directly in the live broadcast, so he could only express his doubts with his eyes——Hu Lai is not the first one, who else is before Hu Lai?

Seeing his partner with question marks on his forehead, Yan Kang smiled: "Li Qingqing! Li Qingqing is the first Chinese player to participate in the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

He Feng suddenly realized, and laughed out loud: "Ha! Yes, that's right! Li Qingqing is the first, and Hu Lai is the second. The two of them... one in front and one in back, really are a pair!"

What the two of them were talking about wasn't about the season.

Although in the Women's Champions League this season, the Madrid King Women's Football team defeated the Rome City Women's Football Team 8:0 in the first round, and there is no suspense to advance to the semi-finals, but after all, there is still one round in the quarter-finals.

Li Qingqing reached the semi-finals of the Champions League with Paris Eger as early as when he was playing for Paris Eger.

That was also her best result in the Women's Champions League so far.

※※※

Although announcing that the side you support has advanced to the semi-finals before the game is over, it seems very frivolous and not very professional.

But considering the mood of the Chinese fans at this moment, no one cares about this unprofessional and frivolous.

The same is true, Valentia, who conceded another goal, was demoralized and gradually died down.

The game started in the last 20 minutes, and the Madrid Pirates deliberately slowed down the pace.

With such a score, even if Valentia chases two goals in a row at the last moment, it will not affect the Pirates' promotion to the semi-finals.

Because the advantage of a four-goal lead is too great.

Parotti even replaced Hou Lai with fifteen minutes left in the game.

Replaced with Maxi Carey.

This is also Kyrie's first appearance in the Champions League this season.

However, his appearance is meaningless, it is purely symbolic to let him feel the long-lost Champions League atmosphere.

No one expects him to be able to show any performance comparable to the performance in the last league in this limited ten minutes.

But the home team fans at the Pirates Park stadium still gave Carey a warm applause.

In these ten minutes, due to the influence of physical fitness, Carey did perform mediocrely.

Valentia's offensive also gradually slowed down, losing all energy.

The final score was fixed at 2:0.

The Madrid Pirates eliminated Valentia with a total score of 4:0 in two rounds and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

In addition to the Madrid Pirates and Madrid Kings both advancing to the semi-finals, the other two semi-finals were also decided.

Trammed is back at home after being three goals down and this time manager Kevin Locke started the game, wondering if he was put off by Roquet's attitude in the last leg Impressed.

Luo Kai, who started the game, was as active as ever.

Although he didn't score or assist, his tireless running back and forth on the right side helped Tramed beat the Torino Bulls 2:1 at home.

From several other statistics, you can understand how well he played in this game.

For example, he has two key passes-"key pass" does not mean an assist, but refers to the last pass before the shot. Different statistical agencies have slightly different definitions of "key pass". Some think that only the last pass before a non-goal shot is considered a "key pass", while others include "assists" ,Repeated calculation.

Regardless of the definition, it means that players with more key passes have a higher chance of completing assists.

In addition, Luo Kai also had a "chance creation" statistic in this game.

The so-called "chance creation" is an important indicator to measure a player's creativity, together with "key pass" determines the player's offensive creativity and threat level.

Unlike "key pass", "chance creation" does not refer to the kind of pass before any shot, and the statistical standard is more rigorous. Refers to those chances that create a high probability of scoring for teammates.

If you want to swipe the "key pass" data, it is very easy to swipe. As long as you pass the ball to your teammate, the teammate will complete a shot after receiving the ball, no matter whether the shot is a threat or not, whether it hits the goal frame or not... As long as it counts as a shot in terms of technical statistics, then you have harvested a "key pass".

But "creating chances" requires creating very threatening shots. Only such a final pass can be counted as "creating opportunities". Generally speaking, creating opportunities for teammates to face the goalkeeper single-handedly and hit an empty goal can be regarded as "creating opportunities".

However, "creating opportunities" is not equal to an assist, because an assist is a goal, and if you send a through ball to a teammate so that he can directly face the goalkeeper one-on-one, but your teammate will put it in the throat If the pie is picked out, then you will get a "Create Opportunity"...

Specifically in this game, Roquet sent a through ball when he cut in from the right side, but striker Papu Bonet hit the opportunity he created on the Turin Bulls goalkeeper Alberta. Qi's body...

Of course, this is also because Albertazzi reacted quickly and struck out in time, almost completely blocking Bonet's shooting angle.

In addition, Luo Kai also tried four times in the game and succeeded once.

Although he only succeeded once, the four attempts to pass others showed that Luo Kai was still very confident in himself and dared to make moves after getting the ball.

That's a good sign for a player who desperately needs to fight for opportunities within the team.

Although Luo Kai was so active, he also helped the team win the game at home.

But the gap between losing 0:3 away in the first leg is really too big.

The 2:1 back at home can't help them advance to the semi-finals.

Luo Kai and Tramed stopped in the quarterfinals together.

As a result, although there were as many as five players participating in this season's Champions League, only Hu Lai made it to the semi-finals in the end, and all the others were eliminated halfway through.

And Hu Lai's performance and achievements are completely worthy of his title of "No. 1 Chinese Footballer".

Stan Park Rangers had the last laugh in the "English Civil War" between Stan Park Rangers and Manchester Athletic.

In the first round, Stan Park Rangers defeated Manchester Athletic 3:1 at home. In the second round, Manchester Athletic was tied 2:2 by Stan Park Rangers at home, thus being eliminated with a total score of 3:5.

The top two in the Champions League last season both went home when they scored eight and four, as agreed.

Manchester Athletic's UEFA Champions League exit has once again aroused the attention and discussion of Kabanka's departure from Manchester Athletic from the media and fans.

Almost everyone is convinced that it is impossible for Kabangka to stay in Manchester.

Because this team has been difficult to meet the ambitions of the Brazilian genius.

Kabangka, who used to be as famous as Melly, now can only see Melly and Hou Lai advance to the semi-finals, and he goes home alone sadly.

Even if there is basically no suspense about the Premier League title this season...it must belong to Athletic Manchester, it is meaningless for Kabanka.
