We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 218: The championship sprint begins, the super nightmare schedule
Real Madrid's lineup is:

C Ronaldo, Soldado, Robinho

Modric, Beckham, Sneijder
Marcelo, Lucio, Cannavaro, Ramos
Casillas

-

Negredo suffered a minor injury during training and will miss the game.

Carlos attended a party hosted by his friends over the weekend, but caught a cold while many people were having fun, so he was not included in the main list.

Sneijder received a special task, which was to follow Riquelme throughout the field and display the spirit of an engineer.

Although Sneijder did not want to play in this way, he had to grit his teeth and accept the humiliation for the sake of his hard-earned starting spot.

Vieira, Emerson, Raul and other players were waiting on the bench.

This lineup actually reflects He Tianqi's view of Palermo. He does not think Palermo's offense will be very fierce, so he does not focus on piling up defensive strength.

This seems arrogant to outsiders.

Because Palermo's traditional double-wing attack is extremely threatening, and Riquelme is even more deadly in the middle, the two combined are so threatening that it's explosive!

But judging from the data in He Tianqi's hands, after Riquelme joined, Palermo's wingers have lost their original sharpness and their threat on the field has declined significantly.

Especially with Guardiola's idea of ​​a single striker.

Yes, Palermo's formation is a 4231:

Ibrahim
Di Maria, Riquelme, Van Persie
Mascherano, Toure

Ashley Young, Thiago Silva, Vincent Kompany, right back
Handanovic

-

Also on the bench are outstanding young players such as Higuain, Pedro, Hamsik, Diego Costa and others.

Compared to the He Tianqi era, Guardiola's Palermo has become more conservative, which is a sacrifice made for extreme ball control.

So Di Maria and Van Persie are relatively far back.

Di Maria is fine, he has adapted well, he has the attributes of a midfielder.

Van Persie had a harder time, becoming a pure attacker. Although he still had the chance to shoot, his position on the field determined that his shooting efficiency would be lower than before.

As an all-around midfielder and the team's cerebellum, Toure plays a big role next to a brain like Modric who is willing to delegate power.

But next to a centralized brain like Riquelme, he really becomes a sapper.

As a result, his performance continued to decline in the second half of the season.

The right-back was a player in his twenties who Guardiola specifically wanted to buy. He Tianqi had never heard of his name, but he was not expensive, so he bought it.

With a whistle, the game officially begins.

In the second minute, Ronaldo received the ball on the left and made a one-trick move to cut inside. The confusing effect was almost non-existent, but it was too fast.

The veteran right-back that Guardiola favored was passed in an instant.

Yaya Toure came over to delay and looked for physical confrontation.

Unexpectedly, Ronaldo took the initiative to move forward. Toure was afraid of committing a foul and did not use enough strength. Unexpectedly, Ronaldo's strength was so strong that he was almost knocked over by Ronaldo.

Thiago Silva's attention was drawn to Ronaldo.

boom!
Ronaldo made a through ball.

Soldado made a run forward to score, he is a typical Spanish opportunistic striker.

Unfortunately, Handanovic’s control range was too large and he rushed out first to hug the football.

Soldado then tripped and fell.

After standing up, he immediately turned around and gave Ronaldo a thumbs up, interrupting Ronaldo's hand-spreading spell.

In the fourth minute, Robinho challenged Ashley Young on the right. The ball was steady and fast, and Robinho was forced to pass back to Sneijder.

Soldado came out and helped Sneijder with a wall pass.

After receiving the ball, Sneijder dribbled sideways and took a long shot, but was blocked by Thiago Silva's flying tackle.

His shot was slow.

Palermo's defense is still well-trained.

The two attacks failed and the initiative gradually fell into the hands of Palermo.

Guardiola smiled.

In terms of ball possession, Real Madrid, a ragtag coalition, obviously cannot compare with Palermo.

In the ninth minute, Palermo continued to control the ball and Riquelme held the ball looking for an opportunity.

But Sneijder was like a fly, circling around him. He finally got rid of Sneijder and Beckham was in position again.

You can only choose to send back.

As a result, Robinho seized the opportunity to counter-attack.

Riquelme angrily accused Ashley Young, who chased Robinho without looking back.

Unfortunately, King Zinshi is slightly inferior to Robinho in terms of speed.

Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack.

C Ronaldo and Robinho both knock on the door!

boom!
Robinho attracted Thiago Silva and made a diagonal pass.

Ronaldo made the shot and was quite confident in his shooting skills.

Handanovic tried his best to save the ball but it was still a little bit short.

As a "He-style player", he knew too well how He Tianqi's team would seize this absolute opportunity.

He Tianqi will not allow any mistakes in this kind of ball!
"GOAL!"

"One to zero!"

"C Ronaldo scored again!"

"He has scored nine goals in the Champions League! This is more than the goals he scored in the past three years in the Champions League combined! This firepower is really amazing!"

"Although Palermo's high-pass control is full of pressure, once they lose the ball, the result is fatal."

"He Tianqi's team has never lacked counterattack players. Ribery and Valencia from Palermo, Ronaldo and Robinho from Real Madrid!"

Ronaldo rushed to the corner flag area siu!

At this moment, the Palermo players felt sad.

This is their celebration!
Palermo is a team that can withstand pressure. After the kick-off, they continued to maintain control of the ball and launched frequent attacks.

In the 17th minute, Riquelme made a straight pass to the left, and Ashley Young adjusted his left and right feet continuously, deceived Ramos and sent a cross.

Lucio headed the ball away in the penalty area, beating Ibrahimovic.

Like Mido, Ibrahimovic does not like physical confrontation in the penalty area. Especially since his reputation is far inferior to Mido's now, he wants to prove himself with his skills.

It is precisely because of his footwork that Guardiola puts him in the center position instead of Van Persie.

boom!
After Beckham received the ball outside the penalty area, he launched a counterattack directly with a long pass.

Beckham's passes are known for being comfortable to receive, and Soldado in the frontcourt stopped it easily and ran a half-solo.

He kicked the ball into the goal before Thiago Silva came close.

Unfortunately, Thiago Silva blocked some of the shooting angles, and the rest were all within Handanovic's defensive range.

Handanovic made another successful save.

Soldado humbly apologized to the two big guys, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robinho, on his left and right.

His passing route was blocked and he couldn't pass the ball.

This is the downside of an opportunistic striker.

If it is a power center like Negredo, he can use collisions and confrontations to create ball routes.

In the 23rd minute, Real Madrid organized an attack.

Modric and Sneijder switched positions, forcing Mascherano to move forward.

Mascherano knew very well that he could not give Modric too much space and freedom, otherwise he could launch a fatal pass at any time.

Modric passed the ball diagonally to Robinho.

Robinho started straight away and challenged Ashley Young.

Without Mascherano to fill in behind, Ashley Young played it safe and moved slightly inward to avoid being overtaken by Robinho in one step.

boom!
Robinho sent in a cross.

Back point.

C Ronaldo grabbed the ball and jumped up to head it into the goal.

But Kompany used his height advantage to clear the ball first.

This was a very good defense.

But it also means the complete disappearance of Palermo's right-back!
He couldn't provide any defensive intensity to Ronaldo.

Palermo's right side was broken.

"Robin, go back, go back a little further!" Guardiola ordered Van Persie to continue to retreat. Not to mention right winger, he even wanted Van Persie to play as right back.

It's really a waste of resources.

In the 31st minute, Riquelme passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, Cannavaro intercepted it and then passed the ball to Sneijder.

Sneijder made a diagonal pass to Modric.

Modric took two steps with the ball and passed it directly to Ronaldo who was cutting inside without the ball.

Ronaldo pressed down Palermo's right back and made a lob pass without stopping, which was also quite charming.

Handanovic was well aware of the threat posed by Ronaldo and took the initiative to move to that side.

Soldado shot into the empty goal in the penalty area.

Shooting is something that an opportunistic striker like him is good at.

"GOAL! 2-0! Real Madrid scores another goal!"

"Soldado scored the goal. We can see the shadow of Raúl in him!"

"If the last goal was an extremely fast counterattack, then this time it was an extremely coordinated counterattack. Real Madrid's passing was smooth and the ball was faster than people!"

"Palermo's formation was very deformed, which destroyed their defensive system to a certain extent."

"Guardiola was scolding Toure for being too forward and out of position."

He Tianqi looked at the furious Guagua and had to admit that the inertia of history is powerful.

Even in Palermo, Guardiola wanted to use Toure as a defensive midfielder, but Toure's subjective consciousness was in conflict with the defensive midfielder position.

Guagua is too obsessed with tactics, always wanting the players to obey him 100%, ignoring the impact of the players' subjective initiative on the game.

This is also the reason why the atmosphere within this Guardiola Palermo team is not as good as that of other Palermo teams.

In the 37th minute, Ronaldo retreated to ask for the ball, and then continued to eat it at high speed, causing the opponent's right back to get a yellow card.

In the 42nd minute, Robinho cut inside without the ball, received a through ball from Sneijder, and then performed bicycle kicks to challenge Thiago Silva.

He dribbled the ball away from Silva and shot with his right foot at a small angle.

Handanovic made a high-quality save.

Soldado made a flying shot in the penalty area, but his legs were a little short and Kompany cleared the ball.

In the end, the score in the first half was 2-0.

After returning to the locker room, both sides summarized the problems in the first half.

He Tianqi: "Everyone played very well. Let's continue in the second half. Don't worry too much about the opponent's changes. Play to our strengths and the rhythm of the game will belong to us."

Guardiola: "Van Persie should switch positions with Di Maria in the second half. Di Maria, when defending, you should retreat a little deeper, especially pay attention to the route of C Ronaldo's cut-in."

“When attacking, use your midfield role to help the team run.”

"I emphasize again, don't be in a hurry, maintain absolute control of the ball! Pass it slowly, and you will always find an opportunity, understand?"

"Van Persie, in the second half, try to cut inside more often and be threatening!"

……

In the second half, in the 48th minute, Van Persie dribbled the ball inside.

But Ramos usually plays against Ronaldo and is very familiar with this kind of cut-in.

Move your body, position yourself, stretch your legs and complete the steal as soon as possible.

Riquelme spread his hands and complained in the middle.

Ibrahimovic, who was asking for the ball in the penalty area, also shook his head.

In the 52nd minute, Riquelme passed the ball back and then made a forward run himself.

Mascherano passed the ball to Van Persie.

Van Persie cut inside again and, with the help of Riquelme's pull, cut all the way to the middle.

But Ibrahimovic pulled out from the penalty area and blocked Van Persie's shot.

Moreover, the two players were too close to each other and Van Persie couldn't pass the ball.

He could only take one more step and was stuck by Beckham.

Van Persie passes back.

Riquelme, who failed to make a forward run, retreated and just caught the ball and made a straight pass.

Van Persie broke into the penalty area and kicked...

Ibrahimovic, who did not receive the ball, also rushed into the penalty area and kicked the football.

The two refused to give in to each other.

Or both think the other party will give in.

As a result, Ibrahimovic's feet and Van Persie's feet fought in the air, affecting each other's force and landing point.

boom!
The football was kicked into the sky by Van Persie.

He then bumped into Ibrahimovic, who immediately used force to push Van Persie away.

The two men then fell to the ground.

The scene was filled with astonishment.

Van Persie has been playing on the right side for many years. When he was asked to cut inside from the left side, not only was he not able to adapt, but the team was also unable to adapt.

Riquelme and Ibrahimovic's running positions obviously did not make room for Van Persie.

This also reflects that Van Persie's tactical position is not one level higher.

It seems that Guardiola's tactics and configuration are similar to those of Palermo and Real Madrid, but in fact they are very different.

Van Persie will never have the same treatment as Ribery and Ronaldo, who revolve around him in the midfield and frontcourt.

"Oh! Palermo missed a great opportunity!"

"What a pity! Ibrahimovic and Van Persie's running positions overlapped!"

"This ball is really... such a pity!"

He Tianqi looked at Guardiola, whose face was flushed.

How am I going to explain this to my boss?

As the saying goes, wasting opportunities will be punished.

In the 55th minute, Ronaldo made a straight pass after pulling to the left.

Marcelo walked to the inside and received the ball. After entering the penalty area, he made a fake pass, stopped the ball, and knocked it back with his left foot.

Modric followed up with a shot.

Handanovic had anticipated this and flew to save the ball.

The football flew to the other side.

Sneijder, unwilling to be left out, also moved forward and shot the ball right on the edge of the penalty area.

"GOAL! World wave!"

"Three to zero!"

"Sneijder scores!"

"This young player performed very well today. He stuck to Riquelme on the defensive end and was also very active on the offensive end. In contrast, the players on the Palermo side seem to be able to play only on the offensive end or the defensive end, and it is difficult to play both at the same time."

Even Guardiola was very confused.

Yaya Toure is so good. In the past two years, Guardiola always believed that Toure's honor was stolen by Modric. He is one of the best midfielders in the world.

But this season, Toure has not performed at a world-class level.

After Riquelme joined, Toure's performance declined drastically.

What do you mean?
Play me?

Similar situations have occurred with many players.

Why on earth?
"Rhythm!" He Tianqi walked to Guardiola, "The rhythm of attack and defense is too slow!"

"The biggest problem with using a classic attacking midfielder like Riquelme is that the team's rhythm will be replaced by his rhythm."

"All the players have to adapt to him." "Toure, Ashley Young, Mascherano, Thiago Silva, Di Maria, Van Persie... These players are all capable of attacking and defending in a fast offensive and defensive rhythm."

"But once the tempo slows down, they either become a big sieve on the defensive end or look a little rough on the offensive end."

"To put it bluntly, how many years does it take for a super defensive player who can stand and play on the defensive end and perfectly defend you to appear?"

"Similarly, how many super offensive players can you name who can stand and blow up the opponent's defense on the offensive end?"

"Players all have flaws. If we don't formulate tactics based on the characteristics of the players and let the players adapt to the tactical framework of the gaps, there will inevitably be many loopholes and gaps."

"Besides, your tactical system has been distorted because of a core player like Riquelme."

Guardiola was stunned.

I quickly took out my notebook and started taking notes. If I didn’t understand something, I would ask He Tianqi.

Simeone also took out a notebook.

For a moment, the strange sight of "Saint He preaching" appeared on the sidelines.

It wasn't until the 64th minute that Real Madrid got a corner kick.

Handanovic passed the ball, boxed the football, and ended up hitting Ronaldo on the head.

Handanovic was given a yellow card.

He Tianqi simply made a substitution.

Reyes replaced Ronaldo.

Guti replaced Modric.

After Guti came on the pitch, he found Sneijder and told him that he would be in charge of the game from now on.

Sneijder was very happy.

In the 67th minute, Reyes passed the ball back after a feint on the left.

Guti made a lob pass with the outside of his foot without stopping the ball, which could be described as a "middle-aged version of Modric with improved looks."

Team characteristics affect everyone on the team.

Robinho cut inside without the ball and swept the ball across without stopping despite being pulled by Ashley Young.

Thiago Silva was therefore a step slow and failed to destroy the ball.

Soldado scored a goal.

He was about to celebrate when the linesman raised the flag.

Robinho was offside when he started.

In the 72nd minute, Guardiola signaled the players to start pressing.

Marcelo passes the ball back to the goalkeeper.

Casillas kicked the ball long and accurately found Sneijder in the midfield.

Sneijder received the ball and passed it directly.

After Ronaldo left the field, Robinho moved closer to the center, that is, on the right rib.

His pulling, to a certain extent, serves Ronaldo.

Without Ronaldo, he can enjoy the ball.

After Robinho received the ball, he dribbled and shot.

Handanovic was not paying attention for a moment and was stolen by Robinho.

"GOAL! Four to zero!"

"Robinho killed the game!"

"Palermo was really out of form today! They haven't lost a game so badly in a long time!"

"He Tianqi knows Palermo inside and out. He knows how to beat the team he built better than anyone else!"

"Real Madrid finally got its revenge!"

He Tianqi then replaced Robinho with De La Red, allowing him to enjoy warm applause from the home fans.

De La Red came to the middle.

Sneijder moved to the right winger position, but his playing style was still more midfielder.

So this is equivalent to strengthening midfield control.

With this score, there is no need for the veterans to play, it is good to train the players.

The season has entered the second half, and these main veteran players must not get injured.

Guardiola finally woke up from his dream and used three substitutions in one go to make adjustments.

But he did not have the courage to adjust Riquelme, the absolute core.

Instead, Hamsik replaced Toure.

Pedro replaces Di Maria.

Higuain replaces Ibrahimovic.

These three are clearly a level below the starters.

This is also Palermo’s biggest problem this season - the lineup is not deep enough.

In the 78th minute, Guti retreated and sent a straight pass.

Reyes performed quite well in this unpressured and favorable situation, making a brave breakthrough and then passing the ball horizontally.

Unfortunately, Soldado ran out of power and lacked speed to touch the ball.

Otherwise, you will find it when you encounter it.

Real Madrid still has problems at the center position.

In the 83rd minute, De La Red withstood Riquelme's pressure and made a lob pass.

Sneijder received the ball, made some adjustments and took a long shot.

Handanovic flew to save the ball and kept the goal safe.

In the 88th minute, De La Red competed with Hamsik for the header in the middle. The latter was a little angry and eager to show off, so he raised his elbow and hit De La Red's nose.

Delared's nose was bleeding profusely.

Hamsik receives the yellow card.

In the 91st minute, the game was about to end.

Real Madrid's corner attack was cleared, but Beckham received the ball on the outside and passed it horizontally to Marcelo.

Marcelo made a cross from the wing.

De La Red jumped high and headed the ball into the goal.

"GOAL! Five to zero!"

"Real Madrid youth midfielder Prince De La Red is the icing on the cake!"

"Barcelona has Xavi and Iniesta, Real Madrid also has De La Red!"

"He has already established himself in the first team and we can totally imagine this kid's future at Real Madrid!"

"Congratulations to Real Madrid! They announced the end of this round of the series in advance!"

Beep beep!

Three whistles and the game ended.

The Palermo players were extremely frustrated.

This was the first time in three years that they lost completely to Real Madrid.

Guardiola shook hands with He Tianqi with a gloomy face.

He knew that this game would not only mean Palermo's elimination from the Champions League, but would also cause them trouble in other competitions.

Because Palermo's flaws have been exposed.

In the future, more and more teams will follow suit.

The key is that he can't adjust yet.

The team's tactics are deeply tied to Riquelme, and Riquelme's ceiling is Riquelme's ceiling, which is probably between the quarterfinals and semi-finals of the Champions League.

If Riquelme is abandoned, the team's strength will decline in a short period of time.

This was acceptable at the beginning of the season, but now...

Guardiola let out a long sigh.

If Palermo without Riquelme has a 20% to 30% chance of competing with Inter Milan for Serie A.

So now Palermo doesn't even have any chance.

Even...it's unclear whether we can maintain the second place.

After re-establishing Totti's dominant position, Roma burst out with one last burst of energy to win the championship and performed very well.

……

Marca: "The battle ended in one match! The Silver Eagles defeated the Pink Eagles 5-0 and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals in advance!"

"AS": "He Tianqi personally broke the Palermo curse! Real Madrid has more young players who can decide the game!"

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "Does Palermo still have a chance? They once reversed the super Real Madrid with 4 goals, but the river is not He!"

"Torino Sports Daily": "Palermo was eliminated early, Guardiola created the worst record in Palermo's European history!"

"The Clarin": "Riquelme can't lead Palermo's group of giant babies! Van Persie and Yaya Toure's performance can be called war criminals!"

Daily Sports: "Barcelona focuses on the league and aims to win the championship! Real Madrid is obsessed with European competitions and can only reach the semi-finals at most!"

Mundo Deportivo: "Real Madrid's consecutive top two matches in the Serie A standings prove the value of La Liga. If Barcelona wins La Liga, they will prove they are the best in the world!"

After the game, He Tianqi expressed his support for Guardiola in an interview: "I understand Guardiola's situation and hope everyone will give him more patience."

“My Palermo is painting on a blank sheet of paper, so many things can be implemented according to my wishes.”

"Guardiola has to paint on other people's works, which is more difficult. In addition to football, he also needs wisdom in many other aspects."

"In fact, Palermo's performance this season can meet the team's expectations."

"The quarterfinals of the Champions League are pretty good. They are in the top four of Serie A, so they are qualified to qualify for the Champions League. They are also in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, so they have a chance to win the Coppa Italia for the fifth time in a row! This would be a great honor!"

He Tianqi's speech helped relieve Palermo's pressure.

This avoids them being burdened too much and affecting domestic competitions.

April 8th, the 29th round of La Liga.

Real Madrid defeated the challenging Osasuna at home.

With the eleven points they have gained in the last five league games, they have overtaken Valencia and moved up to second place.

Valencia was burdened by the Champions League and lost its last two La Liga games in a row.

However, their Champions League performance was not smooth.

April 11, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid visit Sicily.

He Tianqi participated in the unveiling ceremony of his second bronze statue.

There are three statues of him holding the World Cup trophy in Italy.

There is one in Palermo, one in Milan and one in Turin.

Used to commemorate He Tianqi who led Italian football to find hope and get out of despair after the phone scandal!
Palermo performed better in this game.

Guardiola made some changes.

Unfortunately, the root has not changed, so the result has not changed either.

Three to two!
Real Madrid won thanks to goals from Negredo and Lucio, as well as an own goal from Thiago Silva.

Goals from Van Persie and Ibrahimovic failed to help the team turn things around.

Palermo, out!

Guardiola became the first head coach in history to lead his team to the quarterfinals of the Champions League but create the team's worst European record.

The top four teams in the Champions League have been announced one after another.

Real Madrid, Milan, Manchester United, Chelsea!

The Premier League finally surpassed Serie A and occupied half of the top four.

Premier League fans therefore claim that the Premier League is the best league in the world.

They hope that the Premier League teams will not have a civil war, but instead meet Real Madrid and Milan separately, and then meet in the final!

Sky Sports made a bold prediction, saying that this year might become the "first year of the Premier League era", marking the official arrival of the Premier League to the top of European football!

Looking back at the new century, the Premier League has not won any Champions League titles.

2000-2001, Bayern Munich.

2001-2002, Real Madrid.

2002-2003, AC Milan.

2003-2004, Porto.

2004-2005, 2005-2006, Palermo.

In the end, the grouping gave Premier League fans what they wanted.

AC Milan VS Chelsea!
After leaving the team, Shevchenko returned to San Siro!
Between the nuclear warhead under the financial support and Kaka, the son of God who has shouldered the offensive responsibility this season, who will make it to the end?
Manchester United VS Real Madrid!

After leaving the team, Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford!
Between the exiled Portuguese and Valencia, who helped Manchester United rebuild successfully and entered the team's peak period, who is the most worthwhile 40 million euro player in history?
The story of UEFA is particularly interesting this year.

Fans from all over the world started the war on the Internet in advance.

"Sheva couldn't adapt to Chelsea's tactics at all. He has already regretted joining Chelsea!"

"Pirlo, Kaka and Ronaldo all hit the same critical hit, Shevchenko was never a necessary condition for Milan to win the championship!"

"Haha! Milan is old and can't fight a tough battle. Chelsea will deal with you!"

"As long as Robben is healthy, Milan will be awesome!"

Compared to the rivalry between Chelsea and AC Milan, the atmosphere between Manchester United and Real Madrid is actually much better.

Because the facts have proved that Ronaldo's departure is a win-win situation.

"C Ronaldo has exploded since leaving Manchester United. He has scored 30 goals in all competitions this season! At this rate, his final goal tally for this season is likely to exceed 40!"

"After Valencia replaced Ronaldo as right winger, Van Nistelrooy and Rooney were fully activated. The number of goals scored by both of them increased significantly, ranking first and second in the Premier League scorer list! Drogba can only be ranked third!"

"In the final analysis, Ronaldo was too inefficient when he was at Manchester United and had too strong a desire to score, which affected Van Nistelrooy and Rooney. But He Tianqi just liked his style and arranged for the team to supply him with ammunition."

"On the contrary, although Valencia is an unparalleled shooter, he likes to assist. Combined with his speed, one person can actually meet the ammunition needs of both Van Nistelrooy and Rooney at the same time."

"It's a win-win deal... until the result of this semi-final is known!"

That’s right, my Valencia plays as right midfielder for Manchester United, which is the position that Cristiano Ronaldo used to play in.

Although he is a right-back in Palermo, Manchester United has high hopes for him.

Valencia did not disappoint everyone.

People say Ferguson's use of Valencia was a stroke of genius.

Similarly, after Cristiano Ronaldo came to Real Madrid and changed to play as a left winger, his statistics also exploded.

He Tianqi's transformation of Ronaldo was also a phenomenal success.

One red and one white, Mars collides with the Milky Way!
……

However, the two teams are in very different environments.

Real Madrid has ushered in the 25th day of death!

The Times: "Real Madrid faces a nightmare schedule. In the worst case, they may be eliminated from all three competitions within 25 days!"

Kicker: "Real Madrid's next eight games will be a nightmare!"

In order of priority, Real Madrid will face:
La Liga, Racing Santander, seventh in the La Liga standings.

Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, Barcelona, ​​first in La Liga.

La Liga, Valencia, third in La Liga.

Champions League semi-final first leg, Manchester United, Premier League first.

La Liga, Barcelona.

Champions League semi-final second leg, Manchester United.

La Liga, Sevilla, fourth in La Liga.

Copa del Rey semi-final second leg, Barcelona.

Three games against Barcelona, ​​two games against Manchester United, and a showdown against the giants of La Liga.

And they are basically direct competitors, and the competition intensity is terrifyingly high.

Who can stop this series of events?

Among the five major leagues, many teams faced nightmare schedules in April, but only Real Madrid's could be called purgatory-level!
