The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 680 Another bloody storm!

"As the king of the Champions League, Real Madrid has always been the top club in football and has an unparalleled historical heritage.

Today, they also have top stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Modric, Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Courtois, so they are extremely powerful."

On December 11, at the press conference before the final round of the group stage, Lee Polo suddenly mentioned a seemingly unrelated topic.

Then he changed the subject:

"Many clubs and players regard it as a great honor to play against Real Madrid. Therefore, I hope that more clubs and players can get such an opportunity."

Conte, who was sitting next to him, almost laughed out loud!

【This guy’s meaning is simply too obvious!】

[Opponents in the Champions League have already enjoyed the opportunity to play against Real Madrid! 】

[So... now it’s the turn of the teams in the Europa League to compete with Real Madrid! 】

After talking for a long time, Li Polo still wanted to achieve the bold words he had put down at the beginning of the season:

"Let Real Madrid play in the Europa League!"

-

Zidane feels very heavy now.

Since taking over the Real Madrid coach in January 2016, in the first five months of leading the team, he quickly cleaned up the mess left by his predecessor, led the team to defeat the city rival Atletico Madrid, won the Champions League trophy, and received unanimous praise from fans and public opinion.

.

But in the next three years, his coaching career was almost a mess.

In the 2016-2017 season, although Real Madrid won three cup championships: the European Super Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, and the Club World Cup, these three championships all relied on the residual power of the Champions League last season. In La Liga, Copa del Rey, and Champions League

In three more important events, he was completely defeated, only finishing second in the league and the Champions League, allowing Valencia to monopolize all championships.

In the 2017-2018 season, as Valencia's short-lived dynasty fell apart, Real Madrid did not usher in a strong dominance. In the league, they were still overwhelmed by Barcelona, ​​and they were even beaten by their opponents with three goals at home. In the Champions League, they

They were defeated by Chelsea in the final again, and could only win the double Asian championship for the second consecutive year...

Originally this season, Florentino wanted to hire the former Spanish national team coach Lopetegui as the head coach, but improper operation caused a public outcry, and the Spanish Football Association almost fell out with Real Madrid. In order to settle the matter, Florentino chose to let him

Zidane remains in office.

Zidane also wants to prove himself again, and core players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Modric, Kroos, Ramos, and Courtois are still very motivated. They are all eager to win at the end of their careers.

Go to the top and win more honors for the team and yourself!

But no one expected that this season would be so difficult.

The league has been stumbling. After the first 16 rounds, Real Madrid has lost 5 games and is as many as 7 points behind the top Barcelona. It is only ranked fourth in the standings, even worse than Sevilla!

But in the Champions League, which they valued most, they encountered the opponent they least wanted to face - Chelsea with Lee Polo!

Zidane knows better than anyone:

This is a game that I absolutely cannot afford to lose! -

Before the final battle began, Benzema even expressed solidarity with his old club, Lyon Club, through social media:

"Although Lyon has encountered some difficulties, I believe they can overcome the disadvantages and play at their own level!"

"Lyon and Inter Milan are equally powerful. Today's game is at home in France. I believe they can play a wonderful game!"

Although he sent encouragement,... even Lyon's own die-hard supporters were full of pessimism about this game.

After all, midfielder Fekir is still lying in the hospital, and many players have been injured or suspended. The team's combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced.

What's more... after the previous head coach Genesio was fired by the club as a scapegoat, Lyon has still not found a firefighting coach willing to take over!

They originally wanted to find the famous tinkerer in football - Claudio Ranieri. This Italian veteran coach originally coached Nantes, another Ligue 1 team, but was recently fired due to a falling out with the management.

What makes Lyon Club depressed is that Ranieri, who has nowhere to stay, said seriously after receiving their call:

"As a coach who once coached at Chelsea, I will never choose to be their enemy!"

"Lyon FC has no respect for Chelsea FC. This is the biggest reason why I rejected them!"

——I, Ranieri, just have respect for my old club, and I am not afraid of Lee Polo!

-

December 12th, this day has finally arrived.

Lyon welcomed Inter Milan, who was full of confidence, in an empty home court.

Chelsea, on the other hand, waited at a packed Stamford Bridge to face an anxious Real Madrid.

Since Ramos suffered an extremely tragic injury in the first round and was almost scrapped for the season, the one wearing the captain's armband and standing at the front of the queue today is vice-captain Marcelo.

As a team favorite, Captain Ma was originally the most comedic person in the Real Madrid team, but in this depressing environment, he had to put away his smile and take it seriously.

But he immediately broke through the defense.

Because at the end of Chelsea’s team, a voice that deserved a beating sounded:

"If you want to be more open-minded, in the Europa League, at least you still have hope to compete for the championship, thus bid farewell to the embarrassment of losing all four titles for two consecutive years!"

"By the way, Chris, when you win the Europa League, you can completely crush Messi in terms of the comprehensiveness of the trophy!"

Ronaldo punched the wall of the tunnel!

【Do I still need to compare with Messi?】

【I have the European Cup championship, what does he have? 】

[Negative emotions from Ronaldo, +7481!]

[Negative sentiment from the entire Real Madrid team, +61894!]

-

"..."

Gianluca Rocchi, the golden whistler from Italy, stood in the center circle and looked at the players on both sides with a serious face.

The captains of both sides - Azpilicueta and Marcelo - have just finished the coin guessing game and are now leading their respective teammates in the final mobilization.

Rocky also sighed to his assistants:

"Today's game is destined to be another bloody one!"

-

"Dip~~~"

As the whistle blew, TV commentators from various countries entered formal working mode.

"The current group situation is a little complicated. Of course Chelsea has advanced to the knockout rounds ahead of schedule, and Lyon is definitely out, but Real Madrid and Inter Milan will continue to compete for the last qualifying spot.

In this round of competition, Real Madrid can qualify as long as they draw, while Inter Milan must win. The initiative... seems to be in Real Madrid's hands, but Chelsea will not agree!"

As a former Barcelona player, Lineker also gave up his neutral and objective stance today and chose to side with Chelsea.

One of the two guests sitting opposite him was Carragher, who had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Affected by Liverpool's elimination by Real Madrid last season, he also chose to support Chelsea:

"Seeing Real Madrid's formation today, I knew that Zidane is not an authentic Frenchman!"

"He has not inherited the fine traditions of the French at all, and actually wants to launch tenacious resistance to powerful enemies abroad!"

The other one is Michael Owen, the former Ballon d'Or player who has played for many wealthy clubs.

Today Irving is wearing a suit and leather tie, looking like an expert football commentator:

"Zidane sent out a double midfielder partnership of Casemiro and Marcos Llorente, obviously hoping to further strengthen the midfield defense to make up for Ramos' absence.

On the back line, Ramos's replacement is not Nacho, but Vallejo, who was promoted from the youth training camp.

Although young players may lack experience, they are often more conscientious than veterans in terms of running ability and execution. They may cause some trouble for Chelsea, who knows..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the 21-year-old Vallejo hurriedly knocking Li Polo over in his penalty area!

The referee Rocky hesitated for three seconds, communicated with the video assistant again, and finally stretched out his right arm resolutely and pointed at the visiting team's penalty area!

"Dip~~~"

Less than 3 minutes into the game, Lee Polo scored a penalty kick!

Real Madrid is off to the worst possible start!
