Chapter 266 New hatred
On Tuesday night, Schalke defeated Paris 1-0 at home and double-killed the opponent 4:2 in two rounds to advance.
In another game at the same time, Real Madrid successfully passed Chelsea on the away scene, but the game was very thrilling.
In the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid fell behind 0:2 at Stamford Bridge. If this score is maintained to the end, Real Madrid will be eliminated.
Fortunately, at a crucial moment, Bell assisted Benzema and scored a goal, rewriting the score to 1:2, which also allowed Real Madrid to finally eliminate Chelsea with a score of 4:3 and advance to the Champions League semi-finals for three consecutive seasons.
Then on Wednesday night, the other two Champions League quarter-finals also started.
Bayern’s league weekend let all the main players rest well. It is for this UEFA Champions League match that they won Manchester United 3:1 cleanly at the Allianz Arena and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 4:2.
Well, Schalke and Bayern both advanced with a score of 3:1 in the Champions League round of 16.
Now in the Champions League quarterfinals, both teams have advanced with the same score of 4:2.
The two teams seem to have a tacit understanding.
There is still the last game, Atletico Madrid returned to the home court with a small 1-0 victory over Barcelona and advanced with a total score of 2:1.
At this point, all the semi-finals of the Champions League this season have come out, with two Bundesliga teams, Schalke and Bayern, and La Liga, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
The next step is to see the semi-final draw.
Whether the theme of this year’s Champions League semi-finals is the civil war or the Bundesliga vs. La Liga, it depends on UEFA.
In the second round of the Champions League quarterfinals, none of the top-ranked players in the Champions League scorers scored, so neither the ranking nor the number of goals on the scorer list has changed.
It is worth mentioning that in the previous home game of Schalke, Zhang Xizhe only sat for a whole game, and finally did not get a chance to play, making him miss the fourth Chinese player to play in the Champions League.
※※※
All the top four teams in the Champions League came out, and then the semi-final draw that attracted the most attention.
The four teams in the current Champions League, according to the general opinion of the European media, should be Bayern, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Schalke if they are divided according to their strengths.
And the strength of Bayern and Real Madrid is obviously stronger than Atletico Madrid and Schalke.
This statement has also been generally recognized by the majority of fans, so neutral fans feel that in order to have a wonderful Champions League final, Bayern and Real Madrid should be separated in the semifinals so that they can meet again in the final. it’s the best.
Before the draw, it is indispensable for the participating teams to express their opinions and talk about the team they want to draw.
Schalke and Atletico, the two teams, their respective chairmen hope to draw each other, so that both teams can have a greater chance of reaching the finals.
However, the players of the two teams have different opinions. There are still many people in the Atletico Madrid team who hope to get Real Madrid because they want to fight against their rivals in the same city.
Schalke’s side, although most people want to win Atletico Madrid, but there are also people who want to win Real Madrid, that is Huntelaar.
Huntelaar was also a Real Madrid player. He joined Real Madrid during the Calderon period and then became a former veteran who was purged when Florentino entered the palace.
When Florentino entered Real Madrid for the second time, he quickly began his purge work, naming Robben, Sneijder and Huntelaar the nickname of the Dutch gang, criticizing them for being entangled. Disturbed the locker room, accused them of being injured when the glass body was not braked, and then forcibly washed them.
After leaving Real Madrid, Robben and Sneijder have proved themselves.
Season, the first season after leaving Real Madrid, Sneijder and Robben each helped their new team reach the Champions League final, and it happened that the Champions League final was held at the Bernabéu Stadium.
At that time, Florentino was in the box watching the two players who were cleaned by himself lead the team to compete for the Champions League at the Bernabeu. It should be quite interesting.
After , Sneijder and Robben both won the Champions League, but Real Madrid is still struggling to pursue the tenth championship.
In general, both Sneijder and Robben proved themselves after leaving Real Madrid, but Huntelaar did not.
Although Huntelaar has an outstanding performance of 48 goals in a single season, he has never won a decent championship, nor has he had the opportunity to avenge Real Madrid.
Now this time, it is Huntelaar’s opportunity, so he hopes to draw Real Madrid, he wants to help Schalke eliminate Real Madrid and complete his revenge.
But for Lee Chenglong, he does not want to draw Real Madrid.
Among the three current potential opponents, Real Madrid is definitely the most difficult one to deal with.
If possible, save Real Madrid to the finals to play. Only in the finals where the outcome is determined can the impact of the strength gap be minimized.
But Bayern is the most aggressive. After all of the top four teams came out, they were shouting the same slogan from top to bottom-we want to play Real Madrid.
Guardiola needless to say, he is from Barcelona, and he naturally likes to play against Real Madrid.
And the Bayern chairman is also saying: “If Real Madrid is drawn, it will be a good sign. Their performance is not stable enough, and Bayern will have a greater chance to advance.”
In addition, Kahn, Effenberg and other famous Bayern players are standing up and saying that it will be easy for Bayern to play Real Madrid.
It is true that Bayern has restrained Real Madrid based on their combat records alone. The two teams have encountered 9 times in the knockout rounds of the European Championship. Bayern won 8 of them. Only Bayern lost to Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
But what is strange about Li Chenglong is that even if they are very confident of their own strength, they think Real Madrid is just a belly in front of them, but there are two more relaxed belly of Schalke and Atletico, why didn’t they choose it? ?
Anyway, Bayern’s thinking is quite peculiar. The whole team is shouting to play Real Madrid. They don’t know what the problem is and may need to be treated.
On April 11, the draw for the Champions League semi-final was held in Nyon, Switzerland as scheduled.
Li Chenglong and his teammates gathered again to watch the drawing ceremony together.
The first one to be drawn was Real Madrid and then Bayern was drawn second.
According to the lottery process, this means that Real Madrid will play Bayern after the host.
Then only Schalke will play Atletico Madrid, but the draw still has to continue, assigning the home and away order.
The third draw was Schalke 04, and then they opened the fourth note to let everyone see that it was indeed Atletico Madrid.
That is Schalke needs to play Atletico first and then off.
Lee Chenglong is quite satisfied with the result of this draw.
not only avoided Real Madrid, but also avenged Atletico Madrid.
Two seasons ago, Lee Chenglong was knocked out by Atletico Madrid in the Europa League semi-finals, and was suspended by the opponent’s fake yellow card.
This time, it is Li Chenglong’s chance to avenge his opponent.
Speaking of it, Schalke and Atletico Madrid are not the first time they have met in the Champions League.
During the season, Schalke and Atletico Madrid met in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. In the end, Schalke drew 1:1 with Atletico Madrid at home, but lost a 0:4 away game, and was eliminated by the opponent’s total score of 5:1.
In the previous season in the Champions League, Schalke and Atletico met in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. That time Schalke also drew 1:1 at home with Atletico, but lost one less in the second round, and was defeated by Atletico Madrid 4:1 Eliminated.
So, Schalke and Atletico also have some grudges.
Now this time, it happens that the old and the new hatred are counted together.
