Chapter 191 Invincible Real Madrid, Wenger’s farewell battle!

"The game ended with Roma 1-2 Manchester United. Xiao Chu's performance was very good. Both of Manchester United's goals were directly related to him."

"But it's too early to talk about winning or losing now. Seven days later at Old Trafford, it will be decided who will reach the Champions League final and compete for the trophy that represents the pinnacle of Europe."

“I believe that neither team will give up easily, so the game will definitely be unexpectedly exciting.”

There was warm applause at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.

Fans of both sides were quite satisfied with the result of the game.

After all, given the strength of the two teams, it is not easy to get to this point. Every step forward will be an additional breakthrough.

The Roma players were not as frustrated as expected.

Their mentality is not much different from that of the fans, and judging from the schedule, Roma has already secured a place in the top three of the league and has no chance of competing for the championship.

So there is no need to save energy for the league and all your energy can be focused on the Champions League.

On the other hand, Manchester United was closely followed by Manchester City and failed to open up a sufficient gap. They will have to play against Arsenal away in the next round, which will definitely consume a lot of physical energy.

Chu Feng had just walked into the player tunnel when he was suddenly stopped by someone. When he looked up, he saw that it was De Rossi.

The vicissitudes of life De Rossi looked at Chu Feng seriously, but his thoughts drifted back to the 2006-07 season inadvertently, when he had just won the World Cup and was at the peak of his life.

In the match between Roma and AC Milan.

Ancelotti fielded a Brazilian trident consisting of Kaka, Ronaldo and Oliveira.

At that time, Ronaldinho had become "Fat Ronaldo", but he used skillful dribbling to make continuous breakthroughs, which left a deep impression on him.

The young man in front of him has technical characteristics that are extremely similar to Ronaldinho.

De Rossi gathered his chaotic thoughts and asked, "Want to exchange jerseys?"

"Of course, I have no reason to refuse."

Chu Feng replied with a smile, took off his jersey and handed it over.

He has great respect for De Rossi, a passionate and loyal veteran. Even though he was suppressed by Totti for ten years and became the eternal runner-up, he still chose to stay in Rome instead of leaving.

He thought he couldn't do it, De Rossi took the jersey and put it on his shoulders, nodded slightly and turned away. - Half an hour later, the post-match press conference.

"Mr. Mourinho, are your adjustments in the later stages of the game too conservative? If Manchester United fails to advance in the end—"

The Guardian reporter was interrupted before he could finish his words.

Mourinho said grimly: "The second leg hasn't even started yet, how do you know we can't advance?"

"We achieved all our tactical goals in this game. Two away goals are enough for us. We will be in better competitive form when we return to Old Trafford."

"So I think Manchester United will qualify in the end!"

"Besides, whether Manchester United can advance or not does not depend on you, but on me."

The Guardian reporter was speechless and could only sit back in his seat silently.

"Mr. Mourinho, who do you think will win in tomorrow's match between Real Madrid and Liverpool?"

"Real Madrid is the dominant team. But there are always miracles on the road to the championship. I think both Liverpool and Real Madrid are adhering to the idea of ​​'we can win', so the final result is unpredictable."

Next door meeting room.

Di Francesco put on his black-framed glasses again and answered reporters' questions clearly and logically.

"We got back into the game in the second half and suppressed Manchester United's attack and scored the goal we wanted."

"I thought Mourinho would choose to attack to the end, but he chose a conservative defensive tactic."

"To be honest, I am very disappointed. When Mourinho coached Inter Milan, he had this utilitarian tactical style. Now, nearly ten years have passed, and he still hasn't changed at all."

"This is extremely fatal for a football coach, which shows that he has fallen behind the development of football."

"How do you evaluate Chu? He can create a great threat on the wing. The most important thing is that he gradually develops his organizational ability and helps his teammates create many opportunities."

"In short, he is an excellent young player. Of course, we have similar players. Anthony Entei's performance in this game is not inferior to Chu. If he had played longer, he might have performed better."

"I will give him more time in the next game. I believe we will win the ticket to the final!"

After the post-match press conference, the Manchester United players flew back to Manchester overnight.

Fighting on two fronts alone has kept them so busy. If they had to add the other cup competitions, they would have collapsed long ago.

Therefore, it was a very wise choice for Mourinho to give up the League Cup and FA Cup.

Chu Feng admired the night view of the Apennine Peninsula through the window, and couldn't help but think of the current five-time champion club in football.

Barcelona in 2009, Barcelona in 2011, Bayern in 2013, Barcelona in 2015, Real Madrid in 2017.

If Manchester United wants to become a five-time champion club, they must strengthen their bench next season, but where there is buying there is selling.

How many teammates will be left around him? Chu Feng recalled the days when he fought side by side with Mkhitaryan. He heard that this kid was doing well in Arsenal and won several post-match best player awards in a row.

He suddenly looked forward to the game the day after tomorrow.

The next day.

Inside the therapy room.

The Manchester United players were lying on the beds, enjoying the services provided by the masseurs.

"Chu, your gastrocnemius muscle is a little tight, you'd better apply some hot compress ointment."

The slightly plump middle-aged man said softly.

"Then have some."

Chu Feng nodded upon hearing this.

The man who was giving him a massage was called Rod Thornley, who had been a masseur at Manchester United for nearly twenty years. His brother was once a Manchester United player, and his brother-in-law was Gary Neville.

Although he is somewhat of a relative, his professional skills are indeed in place.

Before, Rooney often indulged in alcohol and sex, but he was able to maintain a sufficient competitive state, and Rod Thornley deserved a lot of credit for this.

Take advantage of the free time during massage.

Chu Feng and his teammates watched another Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid against Liverpool at home.

8th minute of the game.

Salah made a lob pass from outside the penalty area, Firmino turned and passed the ball, and Arnold followed up with a low shot to score.

No one expected that Liverpool would score the first goal.

The Manchester United players looked at each other in bewilderment and had an exaggerated idea: if Liverpool could win the game. Zidane on the sidelines was still calm, his shiny head reflecting the dazzling light, and he simply made some adjustments.

But then Real Madrid gradually gained control of the game rhythm, and the unpopular 4-3-1-2 formation once again shone.

37th minute of the game.

Casemiro faced Firmino one-on-one and snatched the ball from under his feet.

Real Madrid's formation instantly switched from defense to offense.

C Ronaldo and Benzema go straight into Liverpool's defense line, Isco is based in the hinterland to make transfers, and Kroos and Modric will move to both sides.

Casemiro passed the ball directly to Kroos on the flank.

The latter brought the ball into the 30-meter area, lightly flicked the ball to avoid Arnold's reckless grab, and then passed it directly into the penalty area.

As the strongest supporting player, Benzema is well aware of his mission.

He decisively passed the ball behind him.

C Ronaldo shoots the ball!

The football brushed past Karius' fingertips and went into the goal.

1-1!

Real Madrid equalized the score before the first half was over, which was so powerful that it was despairing.

In the 57th minute of the game, Zidane replaced Isco with Bale.

This substitution had an immediate effect.

Modric withstood Henderson's close pressure and accurately sent the ball to the right with the outside of his foot.

Bale forced his way past Robertson from the outside, and shot after entering the penalty area, once again breaking through the goal guarded by Karius.

2-1!

Before Real Madrid fans could celebrate the goal, just two minutes later, Marcelo made a run forward, dribbled past Arnold and made a high cross from the bottom.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Ronaldo jumped high and overpowered Van Dijk with a tomahawk header.

The football hit the upper right corner of the goal.

3-1!

The Bernabeu Stadium was completely ignited and Real Madrid fans roared wildly.

From spending money like crazy but being eliminated in the round of 16 every year, to Mourinho laying the foundation for a counterattack to regain the La Liga title, to Ancelotti enriching his style of play to win the tenth title, after Benítez's brief attempt.

In the end, all the efforts paid off. Real Madrid won two consecutive championships under Zidane and is creating an unprecedented legend.

Their squad now includes the best players in every position in modern football.

These talented players can execute any tactics arranged by Zidane and can find ways to disrupt the opponent's tactics when facing any opponent.

But is Real Madrid really invincible?

Of course not.

Atletico Madrid was able to defeat Real Madrid to the point where they were unable to take care of themselves, which shows that they still have many weaknesses.

Amid Klopp's roar on the sidelines, every Liverpool player began to fight desperately, trying their best to fight for every ball.

Under Liverpool's crazy pressing, it became increasingly difficult for Real Madrid to pass the ball.

But compared to their offensive strength, the mentality of Real Madrid players is more shocking.

They are very confident that they will win.

Zidane's expression on the sidelines remained calm, as if he was saying to the world: "I have seen all kinds of storms in the Champions League, and I will definitely not capsize."

The situation on the field seemed to verify this statement. Real Madrid's defense was once compressed to the extreme, but they managed to not lose the ball.

Everyone saw the potential of a champion in Real Madrid.

In the end they maintained the score until the final whistle.

After the game, Klopp told reporters that he had not lost hope of qualifying and that they would create a miracle when they returned to Anfield.

As for Zidane? He believes that no team can stop Real Madrid, and that Real Madrid can only be the Champions League champion this season.

The Manchester United players in the physiotherapy room fell silent. They suddenly lost confidence in themselves.

Even if they beat Roma, what would it matter? Wouldn't they still lose to Real Madrid in the end? It was an indescribable confusion, and they seemed to have lost their direction.

Chu Feng looked through the schedule carefully. The Premier League will end on May 13 and the Champions League final will start on May 27.

If Manchester United can win the league title, he can also win the Premier League Golden Boot Award.

Even though the modules provided by the system could not directly improve his personal strength, the half month was enough for him to benefit greatly from the training.

Maybe we can give Real Madrid a surprise.

After studying for more than half a season, he has a deep understanding of tactics.

If Manchester United can score a goal in the first 20 minutes or at most 30 minutes of the game, it is not without any chance.

"Brothers, we are top of the Premier League. It is a bit inappropriate to be scared before the game even starts."

Lingard felt the depressing atmosphere and stared at everyone and said viciously.

"Fear" has never appeared in his dictionary! "Yes, don't let the future affect you now. We just need to try our best to play the game and leave the rest to God!"

Chu Feng also echoed.

Finally, he added: "In this world, except for math problems, nothing else is that difficult."

The Manchester United players all laughed when they heard this. Most of their worries were dispelled and they started talking about tomorrow's league.

late at night.

News about the Champions League semi-finals was widely reported by the media and topped the hot search lists on major platforms.

"Manchester United 2-1 Roma, Mourinho's utilitarian tactics may destroy Manchester United's Champions League dream!"

"Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1, showing their champion style, and their three consecutive championships are a foregone conclusion!"

"The legendary script has been written, the protagonist is not Liverpool, Manchester United and Roma, but Real Madrid!"

《C Ronaldo scored twice, leading the scorer list!》 - 【Three consecutive championships, Real Madrid is really going to establish a dynasty! 】 - 【At the beginning of the season, Real Madrid sent away Morata, James Rodriguez, and Pepe, but Zidane did not buy anyone. Instead, he loaned Kovacic out in the winter window. I can only say that Qi Xuanzong is awesome. 】 - 【C Ronaldo is really too fierce. In the past five seasons, he has won four Champions League Golden Boots. 】 - 【The remaining one was won by Messi. 】 - 【Even if Manchester United can enter the final, what can they use to play Real Madrid? They are at a disadvantage in all positions, and the depth of the bench is not as good as Real Madrid. There is no point to win. 】 - 【In fact, I think it’s really possible. Manchester United still has the most deadly trick when facing Real Madrid, whose lineup is much stronger than theirs, and that is defensive counterattack. Although it sounds very mysterious, even if Real Madrid is better than Manchester United in 99% of places, as long as there is this trick, Manchester United will have room to display. 】 - 【Don't pay attention to the Champions League final yet, Wenger's farewell match tomorrow is more worth looking forward to. 】 - 【We Arsenal are invincible~】 ​​- 【.】

Time flies, and the 36th round of the Premier League will soon begin.

Emirates Stadium.

There are huge crowds of people.

There is only one focus today: Wenger is about to say goodbye to Manchester United, his opponent after 22 years of fighting.

On the side of the court.

Wenger, Mourinho and Ferguson stood side by side, like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

After seeing this, Arsenal fans couldn't help but recall the Premier League more than 10 years ago.

Wenger's Arsenal, Mourinho's Chelsea and Ferguson's Manchester United are the three strongest teams with constant feuds.

But there is only one left in the future, which is really sad.

Time is indeed the most powerful force that transforms everything.

LeTV Sports live broadcast room at this time.

"Good evening, audience friends!"

“Welcome to watch the 36th round of the 2017-18 Premier League!”

"Arsenal vs Manchester United!"

"Here are the starting lineups for both teams."

"Wearing red and white, attacking from left to right, was Arsenal, who set up a 4-2-3-1 formation."

"Manchester United are wearing the black away jersey and they are also in a 4-2-3-1 formation!"
