Midfielder

If Barcelona's elimination has made many Spaniards sad, then the only people who are secretly happy in the dark may be the supporters of Real Madrid. Although the sworn enemies have no good feelings towards Mourinho and Lin Yi, Real Madrid obviously prefers to see Barcelona get into trouble with Chelsea.

Especially in the Champions League, they had already had a little hope of overtaking Barcelona in the league, but seeing their opponents stumble in the Champions League, many Madrid people are very happy to see it, and these guys do not hide their ecstatic feelings.

Although Barcelona's failure has nothing to do with them directly, Real Madrid just likes to see their opponents stumble.

However, the joy of these Madrid people only lasted for one day. In the second round of Real Madrid vs. Juventus, which started the next day, the final result made all Real Madrid fans want to cry without tears. Real Madrid originally went to the Alpi Stadium with a 1:0 victory at home.

Although many Spanish media had said before the game that Juventus' home court was very difficult to conquer, Real Madrid coach Luxemburgo still believed that with his own Galaxy battleship, he could still win a victory on the "Old Lady's" territory, and he was very confident.

In fact, the Real Madrid team led by this guy did have absolute control in the first half of the game. Although Juventus wanted to press forward, Zidane did not show any discomfort after returning to the place where he once played.

The Frenchman's control ability can still easily kill Juventus' midfield, and he also frequently created shooting opportunities for Ronaldo and Raul in the frontcourt. Even he himself had a very threatening header in the first half, but Buffon's magical save blocked this attack.

But until the halftime break, Real Madrid had a great chance of winning. After all, they had a victory as a foundation, and they obviously played more relaxed on the field, while Juventus seemed a little restrained under heavy pressure and did not play their true level.

But for some reason, Luxemburgo, the old Brazilian, made a strange substitution decision in the second half. With 20 minutes left in the game, he actually substituted Zidane, who was in good form, in advance, and he did not replace him with a defensive player.

Replacing Zidane with Guti, I guess no one can understand why such a tactical adjustment is made, including the fans of Real Madrid. What is the purpose of replacing another organizer with a good form? Is it despising the opponent?

I guess Luxemburgo himself doesn't know why he made such a decision, because just when Zidane returned to the bench to wipe his sweat, Juventus used a wing cooperation to knock open the goal guarded by Casillas, and it was less than two minutes before he left the field.

1:1, such a score gave Juventus another chance to kill the opponent, especially after Real Madrid's absolute midfield core returned to the bench.

Luxemburgo may want to defend his behavior, so when both sides had to play overtime, this guy told his players to attack and not drag the game into a penalty shootout. Maybe even he, the head coach, knew how miserable the Spanish team's penalty shootout was.

But the reward he got was even more ironic. Just because he was too fierce in fighting for money, Ronaldo, the sharpest knife on the Real Madrid front line, was sent off by the referee with a red card less than five minutes after the start of the overtime. Real Madrid could only helplessly fight with ten people.

Capello's insidiousness and cunning were very thorough at this time. He did not hesitate at all and commanded the team to press forward immediately. After ten minutes of crazy attack, Sarayeta's volley once again knocked Casillas's ten fingers. 2:1, a dazzling score.

This is the tragic fate of Real Madrid. They once again missed the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and the two La Liga giants were both eliminated this time. Now no one should laugh at anyone, everyone is the same, except that Barcelona still has the possibility of winning the league, while Real Madrid has nothing. The angry Florentino announced one day after the game that Luxemburgo was ready to give way.

Or Luxemburgo had no choice at this time. He failed to win the league and was eliminated from the Champions League. What awaited him was a long-determined ruling result, and dismissal was inevitable.

Florentino never kept idle people, especially between players and coaches. He obviously stood on the side of the players. After all, the attention a coach can bring is limited, but superstars are different.

Now Real Madrid can become one of the most profitable clubs, relying on these signature superstars. If they were not there, perhaps the sales of Real Madrid's jerseys would immediately decrease by more than 50%.

What can a coach do? Besides, Luxemburgo is not world-class, and it is very easy to replace him.

Although Florentino promised Real Madrid fans after this damn game that he would add more talented players to the Real Madrid club when summer comes, after the excitement of the early days of the Galacticos, such a move can no longer make the fans feel excited.

Now, compared to those dazzling superstars, Real Madrid fans want a real championship trophy. They have been away from the championship for a long time. This makes many Real Madrid fans feel uncomfortable and they also say, "We are a great club. We need more championships, but we don't need more stars!".

I really don't know how Florentino can meet the fans' requirements. After all, the superstars he bought have gradually become old, including Raul, the flag of Real Madrid, who is almost 30 years old. Maybe it's time for Real Madrid to change blood on a large scale again, but who can be recruited to play here now?

"Alas, if Chelsea can sell that kid to me." Florentino's sigh may represent the voices of many people, including Ferguson and Wenger. They may have sighed in their hearts.

Just like the two La Liga giants were eliminated, when the second round of the round of 16 was over, Manchester United and Arsenal were also eliminated. They also bid farewell to the Champions League duel sadly.

Arsenal, who was ravaged by Bayern Munich in the first round at the Allianz Arena, finally regained some face at the Highbury Stadium. They relied on Henry's goal to beat the visiting Germans 1:0, but such a result was just to cover up their shame and did not make their fans excited at all.

Wenger also admitted after the game that this season was a disappointing season for Arsenal, and they now have to face the ending of empty hands. "The team's personnel adjustment work is about to begin. We will sign new players. Although the league has not ended, we are no longer expecting miracles."

The French old man's idea is very simple. Now he just needs to keep the qualification for the Champions League. Now he has to consider the personnel adjustment problem of next season, transfer, supplement strength, retain the main core of the team, and then find more capable young players. This is what Arsenal must prepare for now.

The league and the Champions League are over for Arsenal's journey this season. Similarly, for Ferguson who refuses to admit defeat, the same is true for Manchester United. Their journey of competition should also come to an end.

AC Milan defeated them both at home and away. Although the score was not big, it was still a bit difficult for Ferguson to accept such a result. However, looking at the whole process of the game, perhaps Ferguson should be thankful that they did not lose more goals away from home. If it were not for Kaka and Shevchenko's bad luck, perhaps the score would be even uglier.

Although the youth combination of Ronaldo and Rooney also caused a lot of trouble for AC Milan's defense, such an impact was obviously not enough for the Italians' continuous attacks and iron chain-like defense.

"After a season of turbulence and disappointment, I think Manchester United will usher in its own new life, and we will return to the top of Europe!" Ferguson's post-match speech revealed the stubbornness of this old man, but also revealed a kind of loss. After all, Manchester United has indeed been a little depressed recently.

Compared with these two old guys, the Spanish bald Benítez seemed to be in high spirits, because his Liverpool team defeated the opponent both home and away. Leverkusen paid a heavy price for their lack of experience. They were scored three goals by the opponent in both rounds, and the scene also looked embarrassing.

"Our team is very strong. Now Liverpool has entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but my ultimate goal is the final trophy, not a place in the quarterfinals. I believe the players can do better and we can make it to the final." You can say that the victory in these two games made the bald Benítez's head brighter, because this guy now surpassed Manchester United and Arsenal with the results of the Champions League.

Although Liverpool is still as tragic as ever in the league, this Spaniard can make up for everything with the results of the Champions League. At least he can now use promotion to maintain his position as head coach, and occasionally hear two shouts for himself at Anfield.

However, Liverpool's victory was not the craziest in the second round. The most terrifying scene was that Lyon from Ligue 1 bloodbathed Bremen with a crazy score of 7:2. This strong team from Ligue 1 wanted to tell everyone in this way that our Ligue 1 champions are not easy to bully!

But Mourinho's evaluation of this game was just one sentence, "If we can meet them in the competition for the top four seats, the game will be easy."

Brito was a little speechless about his old partner's words, because he had counted that since the day Mourinho started coaching, it seemed that Mourinho had never lost to any Ligue 1 team so far. Since he coached Porto, the strong teams in Ligue 1 have almost been ravaged by him in shifts.

If it is really as he predicted just now, then when Chelsea really meets Lyon, this guy's record may really continue.

I just don't know who God will arrange to be Chelsea's next opponent. . .

(Ashuai was laid off. Compared with Ashuai, Morey, the idiot, should get out. He is purely a mentally retarded manager.)
