Super Marshal

Messi II!

When the 28th round of La Liga ended, the entire European football world was shocked by this upset at the Bernabeu.

But it was Eden Hazard's performance that amazed people the most.

Although Chinatown had the advantage in possession of the ball throughout the game, they did not take many shots. Hazard became one of the few bright spots on the court for Chinatown, playing a key role in both goals. , especially the last goal, the one-on-four scene is even more amazing.

Marca published the eye-catching headline "Messi II" on the front page. Javier Matayana personally wrote an article praising Hazard's outstanding performance in this game and also affirming The Belgian has made progress and maturity since this season and believes that he has become an indispensable core player in Chinatown.

"After Michu left for England, James Rodriguez moved to Real Madrid, and the two central defenders Otamendi and Alderweireld Lauyan were separated, Chinatown's overall strength declined very obviously, but at the critical moment, Hazard has become the team's key player."

Matayana said in the column that he received information from within Chinatown. Both the club and the coaching staff have very clearly positioned Hazard as the team's most important core player and an indispensable member.

"According to the information I received, the management of Chinatown has begun to vaguely realize that the 100 million euros' release fee may no longer be able to retain Hazard, especially after the game at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid quickly spread the news, Including Florentino and many board members, they all praised Hazard and believed that he would be the Messi of Real Madrid.”

"Chinatown has begun preparing to renew Hazard's contract. In addition to a salary increase, it will also increase the amount of liquidated damages to a staggering 200 million euros. This also declares that Chinatown will never sell Hazard's contract. determination."

Apart from Hazard, the central defenders Miranda and Godin were the players who received the most praise after the game.

After Otamendi and Alderweireld left the team, the outside world once had doubts about Chinatown's defense, especially at the beginning of the season, but the two central defenders Miranda and Godin quickly proved themselves with their strength. And as the season progresses, they also play more and more tacitly.

This pair of central defenders is hailed as the second contributor to Chinatown's reversal of Real Madrid in this game, second only to Hazard, who was elected the best player in the game. Their overall strength has been unanimously recognized by everyone.

"This summer, Chinatown sold four core players in one go and lost the entire central axis. Coupled with the decline of veteran Marcos Senna, everyone was extremely pessimistic about the prospects of Chinatown. They even thought that Chinatown will probably end the season with relegation."

"But half a year later, we looked at Chinatown again, and found that this magical team not only reached the Copa del Rey finals, reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but also kept up the rankings in La Liga."

"After this round of La Liga, Chinatown ranks fifth in La Liga with 46 points, but it is only one point away from Valencia, which is fourth in La Liga. If the Bat Legion is not careful, it is likely that China will be City overtook and fell out of the Champions League zone.”

"There are many reasons for Chinatown's rapid improvement. The recruiting ability is as good as ever and should be placed first."

"Cantarero's technical department is well-known in European football for its selection and refinement of players. Pellet, Godin and Miranda introduced this summer have all shown a very high level, especially In the central defender position, the strength shown by the two new players is not inferior to that of last season, and the team's defensive strength has not declined but has improved."

"On the offensive end, Pellet is not as eye-catching as Michu, but his tactical role is huge. Aubameyang, Rakitic and Hazard have made rapid progress this season, and the number of goals has increased sharply. This is inseparable from the addition of Pellet. Guan Guan, especially Hazard, has become the soul of Chinatown's frontcourt attack."

"In addition to the main lineup, Chinatown also has a large number of talents from the youth training this season. Morata, De Bruyne and Firmino are all important substitute players for the team. The talented rookie Jese who shines in the youth team is also Made an appearance in the first team.”

"Isco in the midfield is the gold medal substitute. Koke, Verratti and Pogba have also appeared in the game. The central defender position in the defense has reserved two players, Varane and De Vrij. Danilo and Alex Sandro is an important rotation player on the left and right wings, and the talent reserve of Chinatown's entire defense line has shown an expected level. "

"Cantarero is undoubtedly one of the most knowledgeable technical directors in today's football. The talent pool he has formulated for Chinatown and the growth plan for young players are quite reasonable, which has helped the young players in the team mature step by step. Progress, this has enabled Chinatown to quickly have young players emerge in the team every time they sell their stars in the past few years, and there is a lot of talent.”

"The most typical one is Illarramendi. With the help of Marcos Senna, this Spanish midfielder has completely established himself in the main lineup, and his performance is becoming more and more general-like, even attracting national attention. The attention of the team’s head coach Vicente del Bosque is that he intends to bring this 22-year-old young player to the national team.”

Matayana also attributed the team's counterattack in the second half to the management led by Armando Marcos and Cantarero, believing that they were full of patience with Pochettino, which led to the strong recovery of Chinatown.

But unlike Marca's praise of Chinatown, AS published the complaints of Real Madrid coach Mourinho on the front page. The Portuguese madman publicly blasted the referee in the press conference after the game.

"I don't want to criticize the referee of this game, but he did make decisions that were not in our favor in the two penalty fouls, and made serious mistakes, which ultimately prevented us from winning the game."

The Portuguese madman also pointed the finger at the assistant referee, believing that the linesman's enforcement was also problematic. At least in the two cases where Real Madrid players formed a single knife, an offside penalty was made, which was an obvious mistake.

As for the game itself, Mourinho said that the loss was not surprising.

"Chinatown is a very strong team. Don't forget that they have reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League and the final of the King's Cup. They are currently ranked fifth in La Liga. Their strength is not weak. I don't know why everyone always regards them as a weak team. This is simply a prejudice." "Chinatown is very tenacious, making it difficult for us to get into the rhythm of the game, so the game was very difficult. It is indeed a pity to lose the game in the end, but my players have tried their best, and none of them should be criticized for this." "After winning so many games, losing one game is a normal thing. If we lose the game because of an improper attitude, underestimating the enemy or being lazy, then I will definitely be furious, but we all tried our best. I don't think there is anything to complain about losing to Chinatown." ………… After playing Real Madrid, Chinatown soon ushered in the 29th round of La Liga. Sitting at home to welcome Rayo Vallecano, Pochettino's team continued to fail to start well. Central defender Varane, who replaced Miranda in the starting lineup, gave the opponent a penalty kick just five minutes after the start. But before the end of the first half, Rakitic assisted Pelle to score a goal.

After the start of the second half, Chinatown continued to counterattack, and it was Rakitic's assist that allowed Pelle to score another goal and score twice to reverse the score.

After that, the game completely entered the rhythm of Chinatown. Isco and Aubameyang, who came on as substitutes, scored goals one after another. In the end, Chinatown defeated Rayo Vallecano 4-2 at home and won three points again.

The good news is that the Bats scored a goal in just eight minutes after the start, but Zaragoza scored two goals in a row and lost 1-2 at home.

After this round of games, Chinatown surpassed Valencia's 47 points with 49 points, and returned to the top four of La Liga for the first time this season.

This news quickly detonated the Spanish football world, shocked the entire European football world, and even the whole world.

After selling four core players this summer, Chinatown actually relied on internal excavation and strong signings to return to the top four of the league. This is simply too incredible.

You know, Chinatown's net income in the transfer market this summer exceeded 200 million euros.

So where did all this money go?

This weekend, Chinatown traveled to Barcelona to challenge Espanyol away.

Since Barcelona will be challenged away in the middle of the week, Chinatown will travel to Barcelona for two consecutive away games, so this round of the league is also known as a preview of the first round of the knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of the week.

But surprisingly, Pochettino's team still failed to play well in the first half.

Coutinho, a Brazilian teenager who was loaned from Inter Milan this season, opened the scoring for Espanyol in the 24th minute of the first half. After that, the two sides played extremely stalemate until the 76th minute of the second half, when Isco assisted Morata, who came on as a substitute, to score and equalize the score.

De Bruyne assisted Aubameyang to score the second goal in the 78th minute, helping the team to turn defeat into victory.

The unlucky Valencia challenged Getafe away. After Soldado scored the first goal in the fifth minute, the team lost three goals in just fifteen minutes. The Bats lost 1-3 away to Madrid.

After this round of games, Chinatown scored 52 points, ranking fourth in La Liga, while Valencia still had 47 points, five points behind Chinatown. Levante also began to show signs of fatigue, with only 44 points. Chinatown has established a firm foothold in the top four.

In the championship battle, Real Madrid lost to Chinatown and then drew with Villarreal, losing five points in two consecutive rounds. Although Real Sociedad was defeated 5-1 in this round, Barcelona won consecutive games and successfully narrowed the gap to five points.

With eight rounds left in La Liga, the five-point gap is not irreversible.

After the 30th round of La Liga, Chinatown went to Camp Nou with a full lineup in the middle of the week.

In the last three league games, Chinatown lost the ball first and then tied the game. The first half was always not ideal, but the second half was full of chasing. Pochettino was also very helpless about the team's performance. He repeatedly reminded the players that they must pay close attention to the away game against Barcelona, ​​because Barcelona is not an ordinary team.

But what is frustrating is that Chinatown had a bad start again when playing away at Camp Nou.

First, Ibrahimovic assisted Busquets to score, and then Messi assisted Iniesta to score. At the end of the first half, Chinatown trailed 0-2 away from home and was almost sentenced to death.

Hazard, the Messi II, still failed to turn things around in front of the real Messi.
