Chapter 622： This is not Real Madrid at all!

After the weekend of the League Cup, Manchester City played against Portsmouth at home.

With Giroud's goal in the 40th minute of the first half, and Kompany's corner kick before the end of the game, Manchester City defeated Pompeii 2-0 and temporarily walked out of the shadow of the cup defeat. .

Gao Shen reiterated at the post-match press conference that he is patient with the players, and believes that with time and adjustment, the players can quickly get out of the predicament, and the team will naturally get out of the trough.

In another focused match on the same day, Ferguson really fulfilled the Haikou he boasted in front of Gao Shen.

Manchester United and Arsenal were deadlocked for more than 30 minutes, but then Nani and Rooney scored twice in four minutes.

After changing sides in the second half, Antonio Valencia scored a goal to help Manchester United seal the victory.

Although Arsenal then scored a goal from Vermaelen, they eventually lost to Manchester United 1-3 at home.

At present, Manchester United are ranked fourth in the Premier League. If Arsenal want to rush into the top four in the league, they must pull the Red Devils down.

But it was in such a crucial game that Wenger's team suffered a disastrous defeat at home to a direct competitor.

Obviously, Arsenal's nickname of the four madmen may not be able to be preserved.

On the other hand, Manchester United, since December, it can be said that it has won consecutive victories, and it has shown surprising momentum.

…

A week later, the twenty-fifth round of the Premier League.

Liverpool beat Everton 1-0 at home.

Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0 at home, with Drogba scoring twice.

The unfortunate sought-after suffered a two-game losing streak.

As Wenger said to Gao Shen before, he felt like a bus.

This season's Gunners' performance in the strong dialogue is indeed too bad.

Manchester United was at home, rout Portsmouth 5-0, and won another big victory.

After Manchester City won the last round, they faced Hull City in this round, and they were sluggish again, losing 1-2 on the road.

It was also Manchester City's second league defeat so far this season.

The Blue Moon's leading momentum is still good, but the poor performance since the winter break has caused many people to worry about Manchester City's prospects. After all, the team's performance in recent times has indeed been far from the previous 19-game winning streak.

But Gao Shen defended that everything was within control.

"Every team has lows and highs, and we are no exception."

"Right now, we are in a low period, but I believe that we will soon usher in a peak period."

…

Sure enough, in the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Bolton 2-0 at home with goals from Suarez and Robben, who returned from injury.

Liverpool beat Arsenal 1-0 thanks to Torres' goal.

The unfortunate Wenger has faced strong enemies for three consecutive rounds, and also suffered a three-game losing streak. The current situation of the Gunners has obviously fallen to the bottom. Even Wenger himself said that the possibility of hitting the top four in the league is becoming slim. .

The media also generally believe that with the current performance and lineup of the Gunners, the possibility of reaching the top four in the league is becoming less and less likely.

Also in this round, Manchester United drew 1-1 away with Aston Villa, and Chelsea lost 1-2 away to Everton.

Ferguson's team finally stopped their winning streak, while Ancelotti suffered a defeat.

After this battle, Manchester City breathed a sigh of relief.

With twelve rounds remaining in the league, Manchester City is still the favorite to win the title.

Even after kicking Bolton, Gao Shen publicly stated that Manchester City had regained its form.

"We will bid farewell to the low point of the past month or so!"

The media were also generally satisfied with Manchester City's victory over Bolton. After all, the return of Manchester City's Robben and David Silva made the Blue Moon even more powerful.

As for Arsenal, after a three-game losing streak, the chances of the Gunners rushing into the top four are becoming increasingly slim.

After the twenty-sixth round, there is nothing to do with Manchester City in the Premier League this weekend.

Not because of the national team match day, but because of the FA Cup.

This is also a consistent feature of the Premier League. The FA Cup is held on weekends, but unfortunately, Manchester City has been eliminated, so Gao Shen can only train players in Carrington.

…

After having the last experience, Su Qing came to the UK this time without notifying Gao Shen in advance.

Every time Gao Shen returned to China, he was secretive, just to surprise her. This time, she also followed suit.

She was worried at first, because the media outside said that Gao Shen's Manchester City has encountered a huge crisis and may collapse at any time. Therefore, even if Gao Shen behaves normally in the video and on the phone, she is still worried.

Until she saw Gao Shen with her own eyes.

"I originally thought that your mood would be quite low."

Su Qing came to Gao Shen's house in Cheshire from London by herself. After preparing Gao Shen's favorite dishes on weekdays, she called Gao Shen and asked him to go home for dinner after training.

She knew that if she didn't make this call, Gao Shen would probably stay in Carrington until late.

She was a little surprised to see Gao Shen, but she was more than happy.

Not only the reunion after a long absence, but also because she saw confidence and a smile in her deep expression.

"There's nothing to be down about. We recently won a game, and after the injury came back, the players are in good shape." Gao Shen explained with a smile, "I've talked to all the players in the team in the past two days. In fact, their current status I'm in good shape, and I'm in a good mood."

Both Gao Shen and the coaching staff agreed that this is a good sign for the team to get out of the predicament.

"Just because you were worried about me, you flew over to celebrate the New Year with me?" Gao Shen asked with a teasing.

"How is that possible?" Su Qing shook her head shyly, her eyes were full of concealment, and she didn't dare to look directly at Gao Shen, "I'm just... My father and my mother have been too busy with business recently, and they can't take care of me. so…"

This reason is really lame.

But Gao Shen didn't break it, just smiled softly, "I'm so glad you can come here."

Su Qing didn't say anything, staring at Gao Shen with those soulful eyes, which was more convincing than anything else.

…

This season's Champions League has lost its depth and lost a lot of breaking news, but it still attracts much attention.

In particular, Naples, who lost their depth, Real Madrid, which has introduced many superstars, and Barcelona, ​​who is aiming for revenge, are the most eye-catching focuses in the Champions League this season.

But after entering the knockout round of the round of 16, the first round was a bit disappointing.

Ancelotti's Chelsea met Mourinho's Inter Milan in the first leg of the match at the San Siro.

Chelsea scored by Kalou, but Inter Milan equalized with Cambiasso's goal.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and made peace.

Facing his old club, Mourinho failed to win the opponent at home, but instead gave Chelsea an away goal. This is a very unfavorable situation for Inter Milan.

Gao Shen's former club Napoli are still very competitive after a major clean-up this summer.

Allegri led the team to the top of the group, and in the away game against Van Gaal's Bayern Munich, Benatia scored an early goal, but Klose equalized the score before the end of the game.

In the end, the two sides also shook hands and made peace.

Manchester United against AC Milan.

Although Ronaldinho scored the home team's goal in the opening three minutes, Scholes equalized the score and Rooney scored twice in the second half to reverse the score.

In the end, Manchester United defeated AC Milan 3-2 away.

After this game, the Red Devils grabbed the initiative to advance. As long as they play normally at home in the second round, I believe the possibility of advancing is very high.

In the other game, Barcelona beat Stuttgart 2-0 away, with Messi and Sanchez scoring a goal each.

But what really caught the attention was Real Madrid's away game against Lyon.

Pellegrini's current position is unstable, and he needs a Champions League knockout victory to stabilize his position.

Facing Lyon away, Chilean engineers also put up the strongest attacking lineup.

In front are the tridents of Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuain and Di Maria, Kaka as the attacking midfielder, and four players form an offensive lineup in the frontcourt, which can be described as one of the most luxurious offensive combinations in world football today.

Mohamed Diarra and Xavi Alonso form a double midfielder to ensure the protection of the defense.

But as a result, Real Madrid lost to Lyon 0-2 away.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Delgado volleyed in the top of the penalty area before Mohamed Diarra, and opened the scoring for Lyon, but only 83 seconds into the second half, Marcoon scored a Ligue 1 ball The team goes to another city.

If it is just a loss, it is nothing, but the key is that Real Madrid has fewer shots than Lyon when the possession rate is twice that of the opponent.

More importantly, Real Madrid performed badly throughout the game.

Valdano, the technical director who led the team to the expedition, criticized the team very fiercely after the game, believing that the game was "a bad result, a bad performance!"

Valdano later described it as "very bad". UU Reading

"Our team's performance fluctuated so much that I couldn't believe it. It didn't look like Real Madrid at all."

"In the first hour, we didn't do anything, we couldn't even get the ball to our attacking players in the frontcourt effectively, and in the last half hour, we barely even had a midfield pass."

Valdano said it was incomprehensible.

Because in Real Madrid's midfield, with world-class stars such as Diarra, Xavi Alonso and Kaka, there is no reason to play like this.

Pellegrini believed at the post-match press conference that the loss was related to Lyon's enthusiasm in running and fighting, which made the football controlled by Real Madrid unable to transmit normally.

But in any case, the 0-1 loss to Lyon on the road is absolutely unacceptable for the Galaxy Battleship, which cost more than 300 million euros, especially in the Champions League knockout rounds.

You know, since Gao Shen led the team to win the Triple Crown in 2006, Real Madrid has never advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the past four years.

Originally, there were high hopes for this season, but who would have imagined that they would lose 0-2 away in the first round.

After the fiasco, Madrid and Spanish football resounded with warm and nostalgic voices.

As the chairman's special envoy, Zidane set off from Madrid overnight to meet up with Valdano in London.
