Golden Greenery

Piggy Schweinstagg had previously jokingly warned Zhuo Yang: Be careful of being beaten 4:0 by your grandpa in the West End.

It turns out that Piggy guessed wrong.

In fact, two days before the start of the game, Zhuo Yang had a very bad premonition. In eleven years of professional football, excluding this season, Zhuoyang has participated in six Champions Leagues, winning four times and being eliminated twice.

Both times, he was eliminated in the semi-finals, and Zhuoyang was absent from both rounds. Well, Zhuoyang missed the second round due to accumulation of yellow cards. Although Barcelona defeated Mourinho's Inter Milan 1:0 at Camp Nou, they were still eliminated due to the total score.

There was a huge controversy in that game, and Zhuoyang's yellow card suspension was just one of them. It also indirectly led to the new rule of clearing yellow cards in the Champions League semi-finals.

Last season in Real Madrid, Zhuoyang was injured in a fight with assistant coach Cendo and missed the second round with Bayern Munich. As a result, Real Madrid lost 2:3 away and failed to enter the final.

This season has reached the semi-finals again, and Zhuo Yang is absent from the second round again.

Xiaozhu guessed wrong. Dortmund did not defeat Real Madrid 4:0, the score was 4:1.

Real Madrid was blocked from the finals with a total score of 3:4 and stopped in the semi-finals for three consecutive years.

Zhuoyang, the core of Mo's tactics, is suspended. De Jong, the butcher who can provide the largest defensive coverage area in Real Madrid, is injured. Khedira, the key offensive and defensive coupler in the midfield, is injured. The top passer who has fully entered the best state. Modric is injured.

All four indispensable members of Real Madrid's midfield were absent from the West Coast war, and Real Madrid had a tragic tone before going off.

Mourinho arranged a double midfielder combination of Pepe and Callejon. This was the only solution he could think of. It was no longer reasonable or unreasonable. He could only consider whether it was possible or not.

Eyan replaced the Magic Flute, and Real Madrid are basically the regular main force in other positions. Squidward Lopez, Coentrao, Varane, Shuiye, Arbeloa, Higuain, Ronaldo, Di Maria.

Grandpa Mo, Qi Jesus, Lewandowski, Royce, including Gotze, Kyle, Gundogan and others all made remarks in support of Zhuoyang before the game. They all thought that the red card was ridiculous. But they didn't spare any effort during the game.

While your illness may kill you, the cruel world of professional football has no room for tenderness.

The person who killed Real Madrid was not Uncle Zha or Grandpa Mo, but the 25-year-old Lewandowski. He killed Real Madrid with a four-goal goal.

In the 8th minute of the first half, Gotze made a pass from the wing, and Lewandowski scored through the gap in front of the goal, 1:0.

After falling behind, Real Madrid still resisted bravely, and the midfield struggled to maintain their poor output. Because Dortmund fell behind in the total score, they could only continue to attack vigorously.

Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid seized the opportunity to counterattack. Hummels made a mistake in passing Weidenfeller in front of the penalty area. After Higuain intercepted the ball, he and Ronaldo formed a double ghost shot. In the end, Ronaldo tied the score. 1:1.

This away goal was extremely beneficial to Real Madrid, and everyone left the field smiling at halftime.

This is also the 12th goal Ronaldo has scored in the Champions League this season, firmly occupying the top spot. When he scored, Zhuoyang jumped up excitedly in Madrid. At that moment, he thought he could break the fate of being eliminated in the second round if he missed the semifinals.

Madrid's Melinger also jumped up at that moment. They thought Ronaldo would lead the team to change the fate of missing the semi-finals for three consecutive years.

But in the second half, the situation on the court suddenly changed. Lewandowski scored two goals in five minutes, immediately making the situation delicate.

In the 50th minute, Rocket Royce received a header from Kuba outside the penalty area and knocked back. He volleyed directly but it turned into a through ball. It just hit the feet of Lewandowski in the penalty area. The young Polish center turned around. All at once.

The Real Madrid defender yelled and protested that Lewandowski was offside, but slow motion showed that when the Rockets fired the pass, Lewandowski and Pepe in front of him were on the same line.

In the 55th minute, Schmelzer's right-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area hit Varane and bounced to Lewandowski's feet.

Lewandowski stopped the ball, turned around and shot, hitting Diego Lopez again, scoring a hat trick and making the score 3:1.

The total score is 3:3, and Real Madrid still has an away goal advantage.

After 10 minutes, the advantage was gone. Pepe pushed down Royce while defending in the penalty area, and was whistled for a penalty by Dutch referee Kuipers. Without Zhuo Yang's BUG protection, Lewandowski completed his fourth goal.

In fact, the score of 4:1 is not the end of the world. The game has only been played for more than 60 minutes. Real Madrid only needs to score one more goal to be redeemed. Mourinho then replaced Kaká, Benzema and Morata in succession to strengthen the offense, and their offense persisted until the last minute of the game.

But the final score was settled at 4:1, and Real Madrid lost with a total score of 3:4.

Before Mourinho took over, Real Madrid failed to reach the top 16 in the Champions League for six consecutive years, and therefore earned the title of 'Sixteenth Champions League'. Mourinho broke this fate. He coached Real Madrid for three years. Real Madrid reached the Champions League semi-finals in three seasons, but it seemed to have fallen into another fate.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 12 goals in the Champions League this season, and Zhuo Yang has also settled on Lewandowski's 10 goals. Royce is a little rocket, but in this game, Lewandowski is the soaring man on the Rockets.

Zhuo Yang sighed in the night sky in Madrid. He once said that the Hercules Cup is still far away for the Chinese team, and the Champions League is his World Cup, but he has not touched those exaggerated big ears for two years. .

Perhaps for ordinary professional players, a Champions League is enough to honor their ancestors, but the two-year "empty period" is the longest failure since Zhuoyang's career started in the Champions League mode.

Zhuo Yang was not used to it, but he could only exhale into the dark night sky.

Although the locker room has been clamoring for "three fronts to go hand in hand" and has received support from the club's top brass, the Champions League will undoubtedly always be Real Madrid's top priority.

Zhuoyang's unjust red card suspension was certainly one of the important reasons for the tragic defeat to Dortmund, but the factors of injuries to Detu, He Lian, and Mo Flute cannot be ignored. Real Madrid, with its strong soldiers and horses, suffered from injuries at the most critical time. It's hard to say whether there is accumulation of fatigue caused by the three fronts working hard.

Modern football is a science covering a very wide range, and the field of sports health is worthy of careful discussion. To achieve success, you must not rely solely on passion.

However, should this be the fault of the locker room? Mourinho should ask himself why there are 25 players in the first team, but only a few are always playing, so that at a critical moment, the reserve force cannot share the worries of the core players.

In the three years that Mourinho has been in charge, the number of players from Real Madrid's youth training and Castilla's youth training who have been able to gain a foothold in the first team is zero.

However, for wealthy clubs that pursue ultimate results, youth training is actually a double-edged sword, and sometimes it is indeed a tightrope to walk. La Masia, Barcelona's youth academy, seems to have a higher success rate than Castilla in recent years, and many young players are beginning to prepare to take up leading roles in the first team.

However, this time in the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona lost worse than Real Madrid.
