As soon as the winter break was over, Chinatown struggled.
The first game is the first leg of the final 16 knockout of the king's cup, at the Bernabeu stadium.
Obviously, he didn't pay much attention to China city. In the first game of the winter break, he didn't play as much as he could. He hid many key players, including Diego Costa and Ozil, and played as a semi substitute.
However, facing the powerful galactic warship, bochetino's team took the initiative and showed great bravery. In the first half, carvahar scored a goal in the 10th minute, and Miranda took the corner in the 29th minute.
With a 2-0 lead, Chinatown seems to see the dawn of victory.
However, at half-time, he repented, replaced three main players, launched a fierce attack on China City, and pulled back three goals in the 68th, 70th and 78th minutes. Finally, he narrowly beat China City 3-2 at the Bernabeu stadium.
After struggling against Real Madrid, Chinatown drew at home with Atletico Madrid 0-0 at the weekend. In this game, the whole team was passive and stuck to the goal. Players such as de GEA, Miranda and Godin showed great courage.
Bochettino kept his strength in the league. In the second round of the king's cup, he played an offensive and defensive duel with Jose. In the whole game, neither side was able to break the other side's goal.
Until the end of the game, after receiving a pass from alba on the left, Azar forced his way into the restricted area and was pulled down from behind by aveloa. The right back of Real Madrid received the second yellow card of the game and was sent off by the referee. Azar personally took the penalty and scored a goal for China city.
The total score was 3-3, but China City eliminated Real Madrid with an away goal.
After the match, he was furious with avelloa for his second yellow card. He denounced the referee for his bias and thought that Azar was diving. However, it can be clearly seen from the video that avelloa did pull Azar down from behind, otherwise the Belgians would form a single sword.
The elimination of star shining Real Madrid has once again brought China city into the sight of fans all over the world, especially the tenacious momentum shown by Real Madrid in the two matches.
However, in the 19th round of La Liga at the weekend, although China City scored a goal in the 88th minute and leveled the score, it still lost the goal in the make-up time and lost to Xi Hong athletics 1-2 away.
With a draw and a loss in two rounds, China city's league ranking dropped rapidly to the 10th place in La Liga, and the excitement brought by the promotion of the king's Cup soon disappeared.
In the middle of the week, the first leg of the final eight knockout match of the king's Cup came. With the goal of obamayan, China City drew 1-1 with Valencia of emery, and a week later, they defeated the bat team 2-0 at home, and both rajitic and ereira scored goals.
In an interview with the media after the match, emery regretfully said that the performance of China City in these two games is better than Valencia, and promotion is a matter of course.
However, in the middle of the two cup games, China city lost 4-1 to Barcelona at the Nou Camp stadium.
Barcelona took the lead in the 13th minute with Puyol's goal, but obamayan of China city soon leveled the score, but in the second half, Messi completely opened up in the 54th, 60th and 63rd short ten minutes, staged a hat trick and surpassed the score again.
In the end, Chinatown lost 4-1 away.
Barcelona double. The morale of Chinatown was low, and the league ranking fell to 11th again.
As a result, the media and fans began to attack bochettino one after another. They thought that Chinatown should not insist on fighting on two lines, should concentrate on playing well in the league, and should not be distracted in the cup, especially in the king's cup.
However, the club's general manager Amando Marcos and technical director cantarello came out again to publicly support bochetino's decision, saying that the club will not change its confidence in bochetino because of the temporary ups and downs of the results.
After Valencia were eliminated in the king's cup, China city soon beat Sevilla 2-1 at home in the weekend's League, with lakitic and obamayan scoring in succession.
A victory, let China city league ranking straight up to eighth.
But even more exciting for the fans is that three days after beating Sevilla, bochetino's team welcomed bersa's Athletic Bilbao at home, which is the first leg of the semi-final of the king's cup.
Both sides are famous for their high-level pressure. The game was very fierce. China city used its home advantage to firmly suppress Bilbao, and in the first half, Azar assisted rajitic to score a goal.
After Yi Bian fought again in the second half, belsa replaced two players at one go, intending to fight back. However, with Pele's help, China city went to the next city from obamayan, and finally won the game 2-0 at home, stepping into the final of the king's cup with one foot.
But the price of struggling with Bilbao is that the team had to rotate at the weekend and lost to Granada one-to-two away. Fortunately, the ranking remains unchanged. However, most media and fans still can't understand bochetino's strategy of playing in the cup. Shouldn't they try their best to keep the League first?
In the second round of the semi-final, Chinatown drew with Bilbao in the Second World War and eliminated belsa's team by 4-3 to advance to the final of the king's cup.
It's also the first time in the history of Chinatown to reach the final of the king's cup.
This time against Barcelona in Guardiola.
After the final of the king's cup, the team's morale was greatly boosted. In the subsequent match against Real Mallorca, kapalos's team made a sneak attack and scored in the fourth minute. However, bochetino was at home and soon adjusted the situation. Pelle assisted obamayan to level the score.
In the 55th minute of the second half, ilia ramendi scored a long-range shot to surpass the score for China City, then forward Pelle scored a goal and finally reversed Real Mallorca 3-1, but the league ranking remained unchanged.
A week later, bochetino rotated for the Champions League in the middle of the week. China city lost to Athletic Bilbao 0-1 away. Belsa's team avenged the elimination of the king's cup at home and stepped on the ninth place in the league ranking of China city.
Unexpectedly, on Wednesday at Lyon's Olympic Park Stadium, China city lost the ball in just eight minutes. Young player lakazete opened the record for Lyon, and the top French team scored the goal with the first shot.
After that, Chinatown was completely trapped in the walls of Lyon.
…………
…………
Bochetino stood in front of the coach of the visiting team at the Olympic Park Stadium. His suit was open and his hands were at his waist, revealing a white shirt. But his face was full of scum, which made him look very rough.
He hasn't taken good care of his image for more than a month. His dishevelled hair is like a bird's nest.
Since the winter break, the team has been in a row, in the king's cup, the league and the Champions League three fronts, every game is a tough battle, China city played very hard, the players are also very hard, the pressure is very big.
As the head coach of the team, bochettino is the best.
Lyon, the opponent of this match, is a regular in the knockout of the Champions League and has great strength. Although young coach gard has just taken office this season, he has been the youth training coach and assistant coach of the first team in Lyon for many years. He has assisted the former Lyon managers such as Legang, Houllier and Puel. His appointment has won the trust of the management and intends to make the team younger.
Lakazete, who scored in this game, was promoted from the youth team.
Four three three formation is the mainstream in Europe at present, and gard also adopts this kind of playing method. The goalkeeper is loris, the defensive line from left to right is Sissoko, Chris, lovelen and Ravier respectively, the midfield is Fofana, Karsten and Gourcuff, and the front field is Bastos, lakazette and Blaine.
Gard obviously did a lot of work in this game, deeply studied the playing method of Chinatown, and adopted the regional defense strategy for Azar, who was the most active in the front court and had the strongest personal ability, so as to avoid the team falling into a one-on-one defensive state as far as possible, which made Billy not get a good chance in the whole game.
Obamayan is the team's top scorer, fast, strong impact, so gard let Sissoko stick to him, the left back this game is good, did not give obamayan too good opportunity.
The game lasted 75 minutes, the ball control rate of Chinese city reached 60%, and the number of shots reached three times of Lyon's, but it failed to break Lyon's goal, and the shooting efficiency was very poor.
There was a substitution for the home team, but not for the visitors. Bochetino knows that everyone is waiting for their decision.
In fact, it is also an acceptable result to play 0-1 away from home.
Back at home, Chinatown can play more targeted according to the layout of the game.
The idea came to pochetino's mind, but soon, he pressed the tempting idea desperately, because another voice came to his mind.
"Fearless, always forward, this is the purpose of our Chinatown competition!"
"We will never be afraid of any opponent, nor will we bow to any difficulties. No matter who the opponent is, we should dare to wield our sword."
This is what Gao Han said to bochetino, which is enlightening.
At this moment, in bochetino's mind, but let Argentines some shame.
With 20 minutes left, the team is one-to-one behind, and he is satisfied!
If Mr. Gao Han were here, he would be looking for the weakness of his opponent and find the weapon to restrain him, but he would never give up.
Don't say lose, draw can't appear in the cold options, he always has only one goal, that is to win.
Pochetino slapped his hands on his face, breathed heavily, turned and yelled at his assistant coach, hessus Peres, "show me the detailed analysis of this game."
Hessus Perez was stunned for a moment. He quickly found the data analyst, and soon came to bochetino with a tablet computer. The data analysis software carefully created by Gao Han and Sergio Garcia was opened inside, and he began to study it carefully.
Through the club's data analysis software, everything of the game is clearly presented in front of bochetino. At this moment, calm down and many details that were ignored before will reappear in his sight. After a little organization, the outline will appear in his mind.
"Lyon's loophole is here!" Said pochetino, gnashing his teeth.
