Iron Man on the pitch

However, something went wrong with Real Madrid, and Barcelona failed to seize the opportunity.

Barcelona lost to Real Sociedad 1:2 away in the match the next day.

Real Madrid is still the first in the standings, with 87 points. After Barcelona lost to Real Madrid in the 32nd round of the national derby, they won and lost in the next two games, with only 84 points.

Now Real Madrid has more room to lose.

Mourinho, who was still worried, was suddenly overjoyed and dissed Guardiola fiercely during the interview.

"Look, I'll just say that in the long season, how to adjust the team's condition is very important for the head coach. It's obvious that after Barcelona loses the game against us, they will start to collapse. It's right."

"I have to say that Real Madrid players have more championship genes, such as the top stars in our team, Ronaldo and Li Ling. They have been tested in the World Cup finals and can win the thrilling situation. Now this small scene is like this It's nothing."

"Especially Li Ling, when he was the only one of our strongest tridents in Real Madrid, led the team to tie Zaragoza, which proves that he is not a follower of Ronaldo, but has the ability to be like this in Real Madrid. The team took on more important roles, just like he did at Sporting Lisbon.”

"Establish Li Ling as the core of the team? No, no, they still have to listen to me as the head coach. I have to emphasize again that in my team, stars do not have privileges, and they have to follow mine. Tactical arrangements, meticulous execution.”

Barcelona naturally would not swallow their anger and immediately started to fight back, but their counterattack seemed pale and powerless in the failure of the previous four battles.

Originally, he was not brave enough to attack Real Madrid, but he could only hide, but in the first round of the Champions League, he was a little embarrassed by Real Madrid's pressing in the whole game, and everyone saw it, so he couldn't attack at all.

As for Real Madrid's embarrassment in defending against the opponent in the previous few games, Real Madrid also has something to say.

After all, most of Barcelona players came from La Macia and have been practicing this tactic since childhood; while Real Madrid is a player from all over the world, relying on Mourinho to form a whole, and was still in the previous few confrontations. Practice tactics, so it is normal to fight and fight against the counter-attack.

Even if Barcelona moved out of Iniesta and injured this reason, it is not Mourinho who found a way to crack the transmission control, but to put it another way, this argument is that it is not that the transmission control tactics are strong, but that Iniesta is strong. .

The verbal blows around mean that Barcelona has a complete defeat in football philosophy, which is the most unacceptable for them. It is said that first-class companies make standards, second-class companies make brands, third-class companies make products, and Barcelona vigorously promotes and control tactics, which means setting standards for football.

But now their philosophy cannot prove its effectiveness through actual combat, and the loss to Barcelona is greater than losing to Real Madrid in several national derbys.

Therefore, before the second leg of the Camp Nou game began, Barcelona had already made a mobilization inside and vowed to complete a comeback at home.

On May 4, after a few days of rest, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals was played at Camp Nou.

This time Barcelona's main players were all out, and the formation was still 4-3-3.

Goalkeeper: Valdes:

Defenders: Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Puyol;

Midfielders: Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta;

Forwards: Di Maria, Messi, Villa.

For Real Madrid, Mourinho had to line up the previous 4-4-2 to counterattack due to injuries.

Goalkeeper: Casillas;

Defenders: Thornton, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo;

Midfielders: Li Ling, Fellaini, Xavi Alonso, Moutinho;

Forwards: Ronaldo, Benzema.

Although Pepe and Xavi Alonso's injuries only recovered to the situation where they could play, and it was hard to say, Mourinho insisted on letting them start.

Because the substitute players Albiol, Gago, Granero and Galai are really hard to trust, they showed their unreliability in the last game against Zaragoza. Mourinho has already shown his unreliability. I made up my mind to clean up these players in the summer.

Of course, several of them already have plans to leave.

The away team Real Madrid kicked the ball first, and Ronaldo passed the ball backwards.

As soon as Li Ling got the ball, he heard deafening boos sounding in the Camp Nou Stadium.

"It seems that they are very dissatisfied with my performance in the last game." Li Ling curled his lips disdainfully and passed the football to Pepe behind him.

After the last game, Li Ling's goal of leaping through Busquets was blownIt fell out, but major media still used this action as the cover of the news.

In the media score after the game, Li Ling, who scored only one goal, won the highest score in the game, surpassing Ronaldo and Kaka.

However, if Li Ling was in the whoscored scoring system, he could only rank second in the whole audience.

After all, in Real Madrid's tactical system, Li Ling rarely relies on his personal ability to force breakthroughs like he did in Sporting Lisbon and the Portuguese national team. It is more about passing and cutting the running position and looking for gaps, because Real Madrid's teammates can always send the football to Li Ling's running route just right.

If it weren't for Kaka's injury and retreating, Li Ling would have reached the front midfielder and sent several key passes forward, he would probably not have been able to get the second place in the game in the whoscored scoring system.

Of course, compared to the performance score, Li Ling's terrifying rider's header smash is what Barcelona fans hate the most.

It’s just that the opponent’s hatred is more like a stimulant to Li Ling, who has become an old man. After all, the louder the opponent's fans scream and the more unpleasant the expressions, Li Ling will be more excited.

The same booed, the booed Camp Nou was far less lethal than the booed Bernabeu.

Li Ling decided to give Barcelona a warning, so he reached out to ask for the ball.

Ramos understood and passed the football to Thornton on the right, and he handed the football to Li Ling, because Villa was stuck on the route Ramos passed to Li Ling.

However, Li Ling was not at ease when he received the ball, because Messi had already come to Li Ling to press.

At this time, Messi was still relatively capable of running and had a strong defensive intention, but his defensive ability was not enough to steal the football under Li Ling's feet.

In particular, Li Ling fully utilized the advantages of height and legs, firmly controlled the football to a position where Messi could not reach.

"Hey! Be careful!" Ramos shouted loudly, Villa was quietly approaching Li Ling.

Of course, Li Ling noticed the sneaky Villa. A horizontal Cruyff turned around and shook Messi away; then picked up the football and avoided Villa's stretched foot; finally passed it directly Going forward, he accurately found Ronaldo on the left.

Ronaldo made a fake move to the bottom, passed the football horizontally to Xavi Alonso who was inserted, and then rushed forward by himself.

Xavi Alonso made a straight pass and accurately sent the ball behind Barcelona's defense line.

Ronaldo is particularly active today. He won the race against Alves. While running at high speed, he found Benzema in the penalty area with a precise cross.

Unfortunately, Benzema was disturbed and the header was pushed up and down a bit.

Although Real Madrid's opening defense did not score, it also made the fans of Camp Nou's fans nervous.
