Chapter 974 Messi II

Messi II!

When the 28th round of La Liga ended, the entire European football world was shocked by the upset at the Bernabeu.

But what amazed people the most was Eden Hazard's wonderful performance.

Although Chinatown had an advantage in ball possession throughout the game, it did not have many shots. Hazard became one of the few highlights of Chinatown on the court. He played a key role in both goals, especially the last goal, the one-on-four scene was even more amazing.

Marca published the eye-catching headline [Messi II] on the front page. Javier Mataiana wrote an article in person, praising Hazard's outstanding performance in this game, and also affirmed the progress and maturity of the Belgian this season, believing that he has become an indispensable core player of Chinatown.

"After Michu left for England, James Rodriguez moved to Real Madrid, and the two central defenders Otamendi and Alderweireld separated, the overall strength of Chinatown declined significantly, but at the critical moment, Hazard took up the responsibility of the team and became a vital core figure of the team."

Matayana said in the column that he got the news from Chinatown, whether it was the club or the coaching staff, they clearly positioned Hazard as the most important core player of the team and an indispensable member.

"According to the information I received, the management of Chinatown has begun to vaguely realize that the 100 million euro buyout clause may not be enough to keep Hazard, especially after the game at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid soon reported that Florentino and several board members were full of praise for Hazard and believed that he would be the Messi of Real Madrid."

"Chinatown has begun to prepare to renew the contract with Hazard. In addition to the salary increase, the amount of the liquidated damages will be increased to a staggering 200 million euros, which also declares Chinatown's determination not to sell Hazard."

In addition to Hazard, Miranda and Godin were the most praised players after the game.

After Otamendi and Alderweireld left the team, the outside world once doubted Chinatown's defense, especially at the beginning of the season, but Miranda and Godin, the two central defenders, quickly proved themselves with their strength, and as the season progressed, they played more and more tacitly.

This pair of central defenders is regarded as the second hero of Chinatown's reversal of Real Madrid in this game, second only to Hazard who was elected the best player of the game. Their overall strength has been unanimously recognized by everyone.

"This summer, Chinatown sold four core players in one go, losing the entire central axis. In addition, the decline in the status of veteran Marcos Senna made everyone extremely pessimistic about Chinatown's prospects, and even thought that Chinatown would probably end the season with relegation."

"But half a year later, we looked at Chinatown again and found that this magical team not only made it to the King's Cup final and the Champions League quarterfinals, but also chased the ranking of La Liga all the way."

"After this round of La Liga, Chinatown ranked fifth in La Liga with 46 points, but it was only one point away from Valencia, which was fourth in La Liga. If the Bats are not careful, they may be defeated by Chinatown. Overtaken, fell out of the Champions League zone. ”

“There are many reasons for the rapid progress of Chinatown. The ability to recruit players is as good as ever, which should be put first. ”

“The technical department of Cantarero is well-known in European football for selecting and polishing players. Pelle, Godin and Miranda introduced this summer have all shown a very high level, especially in the central defender position. The strength shown by the two new players is not inferior to last season. The team's defensive strength has not decreased but increased. ”

“On the offensive end, Pelle is not as eye-catching as Michu, but the tactical role is huge. Aubameyang, Rakitic and Hazard have made great progress this season, and the number of goals has skyrocketed. With the joining of Pelle Inextricably linked, especially Hazard, who has become the soul of Chinatown's frontcourt attack. "

"In addition to the main lineup, Chinatown has also produced many youth training talents this season. Morata, De Bruyne and Firmino are all important substitutes for the team. The talented rookie Jesse who shined in the youth team has also appeared in the first team. "

"Isco in the midfield is a golden substitute, Koke, Verratti and Pogba have also played in the game. The central defender position on the back line has two players, Varane and De Vrij. Danilo and Alex Sandro are important rotation players on the left and right sides. The talent reserve of the entire back line of Chinatown has shown an exciting level. "

"Cantarero is undoubtedly one of the most knowledgeable technical directors in today's football world. The talent pool and growth plan for young players he has formulated for Chinatown are quite reasonable, which helps the young players in the team to mature and improve step by step. This has enabled Chinatown to quickly have young players emerge in the team every time it sells its star players in the past few years, and the team is full of talents."

"The most typical example is Illarramendi. With the help of Marcos Senna, this Spanish native midfielder has completely established a foothold in the main lineup, and his performance is becoming more and more like a general, even attracting the attention of the national team coach Bosque, who intends to bring this 22-year-old young midfielder to the national team."

Matayana also attributed the team's counterattack in the second half to the management headed by Armando Marcos and Cantarero, believing that they were full of patience with Pochettino, which contributed to China's The city’s strong recovery.

But unlike Marca, which praised Chinatown, Aspen published the complaints of Real Madrid coach Mourinho on its front page. The Portuguese madman publicly criticized the referee at the post-match press conference.

"I don't want to criticize the referee in this game, but he did make a decision that was not in our favor and made serious mistakes in the two penalty fouls, which ultimately prevented us from winning the game. ”

The Portuguese madman also pointed the finger at the assistant referee, believing that the linesman's law enforcement was also problematic. At least two Real Madrid players made an offside penalty when a single player was involved. This was an obvious mistake.

As for the game itself, Mourinho said the defeat was not surprising.

"Chinatown is a very strong team. Don't forget, they have reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League and the Copa del Rey final. They are currently ranked fifth in La Liga. Their strength is not weak. I don't know why everyone always Treating them as a weak force is simply a prejudice.”

"Chinatown was very tenacious and made it difficult for us to get into the rhythm of the game, so the game was very difficult. It was really regrettable to lose the game in the end, but my players did their best and none of them should be criticized for this."

"After winning so many games, I think it is normal to lose one. If we lose the game because of a bad attitude, underestimation of the enemy, or laziness, then I will definitely be furious, but we I tried my best and lost to Chinatown, so I don’t think there’s anything to complain about.”

After beating Real Madrid, Chinatown quickly ushered in the 29th round of La Liga.

Facing Rayo Vallecano at home, Pochettino's team continued to fail to get off to a good start. Central defender Varane, who replaced Miranda in the starting lineup, gave the opponent a penalty kick in just five minutes.

But before the end of the first half, Rakitic assisted Pellet and scored a goal.

After the start of the second half, Chinatown continued to counterattack. Another assist from Rakitic allowed Pellet to score twice and reverse the score.

After that, the game completely entered the rhythm of Chinatown. Isco and Aubameyang, who came on the bench, scored goals successively. In the end, Chinatown defeated Rayo Vallecano 4-2 at home and scored three points again.

The good news is that after scoring a goal in just eight minutes, Zaragoza pulled two goals in a row and lost 1-2 at home.

After this round, Chinatown scored 49 points, surpassing Valencia's 47 points, and returned to the top four in La Liga for the first time this season.

This piece of news quickly detonated Spanish football, shocking the entire European football world and the whole world.

After selling four core players this summer, Chinatown actually relied on internal digging and strong recruitment to return to the top four in the league. This is simply unbelievable.

You know, Chinatown's net income in this summer's transfer market exceeded 200 million euros.

So where did all this money go?

Over the weekend, Chinatown traveled to Barcelona to challenge Espanyol away from home.

Since Chinatown has an away game against Barcelona in the middle of the week, Chinatown has two consecutive away games against Barcelona. Therefore, this round of the league is also known as a preview of the first leg knockout round of the Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of the week.

But what is surprising is that Pochettino's team still failed to play well in the first half.

Brazilian teenager Coutinho, who is on loan from Inter Milan this season, opened the scoring for the Spaniard in the 24th minute of the first half. After that, the two sides played extremely stalemate until the 76th minute of the second half. Coe assisted substitute Morata to score and equalized the score.

De Bruyne assisted Aubameyang to score the second goal in the 78th minute, helping the team turn defeat into victory.

Unlucky Valencia challenged Getafe away. After Soldado scored the first goal in the fifth minute, they conceded three goals in a row in just fifteen minutes. The Bats lost 3-1 to Madrid in the away game.

After this round, Chinatown scored 52 points, ranking fourth in La Liga, while Valencia still had 47 points, five points behind Chinatown. Levante also began to show signs of fatigue. With only 44 points, Chinatown has firmly established itself in the top four.

In the championship game, after Real Madrid lost to Chinatown, they drew with Villarreal, losing five points in two consecutive rounds. Although they defeated Real Sociedad 5-1 in this round, Barcelona won consecutively and successfully closed the points gap. Caught up to five points.

With eight rounds left in La Liga, the five-point gap is no longer irreversible.

After playing the 30th round of La Liga, Chinatown went to Camp Nou with its full lineup in midweek.

In the last three rounds of the league, without exception, Chinatown lost the ball first and then tied it. The performance in the first half was always unsatisfactory, but it continued to catch up in the second half. Pochettino also felt that the team's performance Very helpless, I repeatedly reminded the players that they must pay close attention to Barcelona when playing away games, because Barcelona is not an ordinary team.

But what is devastating is that Chinatown once again had a bad start when visiting the Nou Camp.

First, Ibrahimovic assisted Busquets to score, and then Messi assisted Iniesta to score. At the end of the first half, Chinatown was 0-2 behind away from home, and was almost sentenced to death.

Hazard, the Messi II, was unable to turn the tide in front of the real Messi.
