When the final whistle of the game sounded at the Bernabeu, Ancelotti was looking at the field in silence.
1 is better than 2!
This is the final result of the game!
All three goals came in the first half.
After Gareth Bale's long-distance run goal, neither side was able to score again.
Real Madrid was very afraid of the counterattack from the Chinese in Bayswater, and Yang Cheng also got the result he wanted.
The situation remained at a stalemate.
In the second half, Real Madrid had a period of time when they wanted to regroup and equalize the score.
But the sharp counterattack of the Chinese in Bayswater made Real Madrid lose their temper.
Moreover, Yang Cheng's team's defense is indeed quite good.
Real Madrid's attacks were beaten back time and time again, and ultimately they failed to score again.
1 to 2, what a bad result for Real Madrid!
But Ancelotti knew in his heart that this was more like paying off a debt.
Long before the game, several Real Madrid executives, including Florentino, had already told him about it.
Real Madrid will not assess Ancelotti's Champions League performance this season.
Because they all know that this is not Ancelotti's problem.
It's the management!
During the winter break, due to Chelsea's poaching of Khedira, Real Madrid chose to sell Khedira and sign Javi Martinez.
This is certainly an exciting decision.
But at the same time, Real Madrid also lost a very important midfielder.
Javi Martinez cannot play in the Champions League at all.
Therefore, Ancelotti had to exclude Illarramendi and Xabi Alonso in this game.
But everyone saw the final result.
The first goal of the Bayswater Chinese was scored in the top arc area in front of the penalty area.
The second goal came from Illarramendi's misplaced back pass.
Although it is a bit irresponsible to say this, Ancelotti feels that if it were Khedira, such a problem would not have occurred, right?
The 1-2 home defeat to Bayswater Chinese almost meant that Real Madrid would stop in the Champions League semi-finals.
This made Ancelotti very disappointed.
He felt that his team could have gone further.
……
Walking from the home team coaching stand to the visiting team coaching stand is like a process of Ancelotti changing his face.
He removed the disappointment from his face and replaced it with a smile.
There is also chewing gum that was put into the mouth without knowing when.
After coming to Yang Cheng and shaking hands with him, Ancelotti even handed him a piece of chewing gum.
"I don't smoke and I don't have this habit." Yang Cheng politely declined.
Ancelotti doesn't care.
"It seems that we still have to decide the outcome in London!" the Italian sighed.
Yang Cheng looked at Ancelotti with interest, as if asking: Are you serious?
But Ancelotti remained calm and appeared sincere.
"We're 1-2 at home, and you still want to decide the outcome away from home?" Yang Cheng laughed.
"Carlo, you should just concentrate on winning your La Liga title!"
After a pause, Yang Cheng added, "With the King's Cup, if you can win the La Liga championship, you will be able to complete your mission."
In Yang Cheng's previous life, this season's La Liga was actually a bit of a fight between the weak teams.
Real Madrid and Barcelona both faced their own problems, but Atletico Madrid stole the tower.
It cannot be said that Simeone's team is not strong, it can only be said that Real Madrid and Barcelona are asking for trouble.
But now, after Javi Martinez joined during the winter break, Real Madrid has performed well in the league.
So far, after 34 rounds of games, Real Madrid still has the same points as Atletico Madrid, both with 85 points.
With four rounds left in La Liga, it remains unknown who will have the last laugh.
Just like in La Liga, Yang Cheng's Bayswater Chinese are still 2 points behind Manchester City, but Yang Cheng still has to keep fighting hard.
The only difference is that the competition in La Liga is much less than that in the Premier League.
In the last four rounds, Real Madrid basically had no strong opponents.
But what about in the Premier League?
After the Chinese in Bayswater return, they will play Arsenal away.
The gunman is not a pushover.
"That's not necessarily true. I still have Wenger to help me," Ancelotti said with a chuckle.
From the perspective of the schedule, Real Madrid really got a big advantage.
"You knew I had to fight Arsenal to the death?"
"Of course, unless you don't want the Premier League championship!" Ancelotti said bluntly.
Having won five championships in a row, the Chinese in Bayswater are unprecedented and it will probably be difficult for anyone to surpass them in the future.
Every step forward is making history.
Moreover, Ancelotti believed that he knew Yang Cheng very well and would not give up easily.
It can be said that the schedule is Ancelotti’s biggest bargaining chip.
"By the way, I heard that Xabi Alonso is really going back to the Premier League?" Yang Cheng "asked" seemingly casually.
It's more like a statement than a question.
Ancelotti's face froze.
This was definitely not what he wanted to see.
According to Real Madrid's original intention, after signing Javi Martinez, they could force Javi Alonso to make concessions.
Unexpectedly, the conditions offered by Manchester City were very generous, and the contract period was longer than that of Real Madrid, so Xabi Alonso finally decided to go to Manchester City.
It’s just that before the end of the season, both sides were still relatively tacit and did not officially announce the matter.
But word of it has already spread in the media.
"With Xabi Alonso gone, what will happen to Real Madrid's midfield?"
In Ancelotti's eyes, Yang Cheng's playful expression at this moment was so annoying!
Will you die if you don't poke people's scars?
Do you know why you are so unpopular with the Bernabeu fans?
It's because you are so annoying!
"I have submitted a transfer list, Toni Kroos and Modric, we must get one of them."
Ancelotti is not a pushover either.
He knew how much Yang Cheng valued these two midfield stars and deliberately poked at his weak spot.
"Have you asked me?" Yang Cheng asked back with a nonchalant smile.
"Then you'd better keep a close eye on your players and be careful not to run away with them!"
After saying that, Ancelotti didn't intend to continue talking, so he waved his hand and left.
This kind of stabbing and bleeding each other should be stopped in time.
This bastard Yang Cheng never gives in even when he is right!
Talking to him one more word is a waste of life!
……
Gareth Bale is completely on fire!
After the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, the Welshman became famous all over the world overnight.
Although he has been the most sought-after top winger in European football over the years and has never lacked championships and honors, he has also always been criticized.
Many people say that he relied on the tactical system of the Chinese in Bayswater to play his football.
In particular, his outstanding performance depends more on suitable tactics and teammates around him.
Needless to say, the first striker was Dzeko, and later Lewandowski.
Both of these centers are top-notch centers who score goals like crazy.
Next to them, Gareth Bale's statistics are quite amazing.
Therefore, many people feel that the Welsh are not as strong as they appear in terms of statistics or on the field.
At the very least, he has not yet been able to stand on his own and put up a convincing performance of dominance in crucial games.
But with Lewandowski's transfer to Barcelona this season, Gareth Bale has gradually become the undisputed number one among the Chinese in Bayswater.
The Welshman's performance gradually won recognition from more and more fans.
Especially in the recent Champions League knockout rounds.
With consecutive double goals and continuous goals, Gareth Bale shocked everyone!
Just like this semi-final at the Bernabeu.
On the first goal, he looked like a center forward.
He stopped the ball, turned around and shot with his left foot.
The second goal was a long-distance run from behind.
Although it was a follow-up shot, the key was his speed of sprinting 60 meters and his calmness in the final shot.
After the game, many media said that Gareth Bale conquered the Bernabeu!
C Ronaldo actually performed well in this game and scored a goal to equalize the score.
But compared to the brilliant Gareth Bale, he is still inferior after all.
Yang Cheng publicly commented on Bale at the post-match press conference.
"I can't imagine that if a player like Gareth Bale can't win the FIFA Ballon d'Or, then I think there's no need for these so-called awards to exist anymore."
"They lack any authority at all!"
"Gareth Bale is the best and strongest superstar in European football this season!"
"He deserves all the credit and praise!"
Yang Cheng's words were also unanimously recognized by the media and fans.
In the Premier League, Gareth Bale has scored 31 goals, tying his best scoring record ever in his career.
In the Champions League, he was unstoppable and led the Bayswater Chinese team to the semi-finals.
Especially from the quarterfinals to the semifinals, he scored twice in three consecutive games.
Such a player, such a performance, is not worthy of the Ballon d'Or?
Yang Cheng’s call was also unanimously affirmed by the British media.
Almost all British media have been promoting Gareth Bale, and they all agree that Gareth Bale's performance this season is definitely at the Ballon d'Or level.
Even the authoritative Times questioned, "If Gareth Bale can't win the Ballon d'Or with such a performance, then what Yang Cheng said is absolutely right. Such an award will lose its authority!"
Over the past few years, major awards from UEFA and FIFA have been intentionally or unintentionally belittling the Premier League.
This is the consensus of everyone.
Although Bayswater Chinese have achieved excellent results, they have always been criticized for lacking a core superstar in the team.
Some even say that in the past, several stars shared the brilliance of the Bayswater Chinese.
But now, all the team's highlights are focused on Gareth Bale, what else is there to say?
The Spanish media responded one after another.
Because this year is 2014, the year of the World Cup!
As a rule, tournament years often feature stars who perform well in the tournament.
Moreover, the 2014 World Cup was held in Brazil, which is Neymar's home ground.
Therefore, the Spanish media believe that the 2014 FIFA Ballon d'Or will still depend on Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Messi?
In the past, the Argentine had always been favored by the Spanish media before he transferred.
But isn’t he in the Premier League now?
When has Argentina performed well in major competitions over the years?
As for Gareth Bale, needless to say.
The Welsh can't even make it to the World Cup.
The British and Spanish media began a debate over the highest player honor in 2014.
In terms of public opinion, the British media currently has the upper hand.
But the key still lies in this summer's World Cup and the performance in the following games.
If Neymar can really lead Brazil to win the World Cup at home, there is no doubt that Gareth Bale will be eliminated tragically again!
……
Knock knock knock!
Yang Cheng was sitting in the office. He heard a knock on the door. He looked up and saw Gareth Bale walking in.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
"Here you go, sit down."
Yang Cheng pointed to the sofa next to him and motioned Gareth Bale to sit wherever he wanted.
Gareth Bale often comes to Yang Cheng's office. Sometimes he is called in to be lectured, and sometimes he just comes to chat.
To outsiders, Gareth Bale is relatively introverted.
But when you really get to know him, you'll find that he just doesn't like talking much with people he's not familiar with.
But deep down, he is still very opinionated.
Moreover, once you get familiar with him, he is quite good at dealing with people.
Of course, he didn't say much.
Just like now, after being called over by Yang Cheng, he didn't ask anything and just sat there quietly.
He was waiting for Yang Cheng to speak first.
Sometimes, Yang Cheng felt that the excited celebration after scoring a goal on the court was the limit of what he could do.
"You have been in very good form recently. I plan to continue to play you when we play against Arsenal this weekend."
Yang Cheng said calmly.
Gareth Bale nodded silently and had no opinion.
"What do you think?" Yang Cheng was speechless and could only ask directly.
"I think my physical condition is still very good, no problem."
Yang Cheng nodded, "Also, you should have noticed the recent news, right?"
"Yes, got it."
"Our PR and marketing departments are working at full capacity right now. We just want to build momentum for you."
Yang Cheng put it more bluntly.
No one would think that with so many British media outlets simultaneously praising Gareth Bale, there aren't Chinese people in Bayswater fanning the flames behind the scenes, right?
"To be honest, after Messi joined Manchester City, he took some time to adapt and his performance this season is not as good as in the past. At least his goals and statistics are not as eye-catching."
"C Ronaldo's performance in Real Madrid is good, but he will most likely stop at the semi-finals of the Champions League."
"You need to work harder and try to maintain your current state. Make a concerted effort and give it a try!"
"You should understand what I mean, right?"
Yang Cheng looked at Gareth Bale and felt that he had made it clear enough.
Gareth Bale is just a little introverted, but that doesn't mean he is stupid.
On the contrary, this boy was very smart and immediately understood what Yang Cheng meant.
"I understand. Don't worry, Boss. I will try my best!"
Yang Cheng was very satisfied with his statement.
"I'm not worried about your private life and news off the field, but I think you still need to be more aggressive on the field, take more shots and try to score when you have the chance."
For the media to fan the flames, there must be a prerequisite: there must be a wave.
News hype also requires material.
In the past few years, many people have said that Messi's winning of the Ballon d'Or was hyped up by the Spanish media.
This is true.
But at least, Messi's record-breaking goals are real.
"You know, we have produced many superstars over the years, but no player has ever been in the top three of the Ballon d'Or or even won it while playing for our team."
This has always been Yang Cheng's concern.
With a player who has won the Ballon d'Or, Bayswater Chinese have finally secured their status as a top team!
Moreover, in terms of commercial value, it will be taken to a higher level than before.
Especially considering that Gareth Bale is a British player.
"Gareth, work harder and help us win back the Golden Globe!" Yang Cheng stared at Gareth Bale deeply and advised.
Feeling the high expectations from the head coach, as well as the relationship built over the past few years, Gareth Bale nodded solemnly.
"You wait for my good news!"
The Welshman is not a flamboyant person and he won't say anything in front of the media.
Even in private, this was the limit of what he could promise.
But Yang Cheng had no doubt that he would try his best!
Because this is what he has always wanted!
……
April 4th afternoon, Emirates Stadium, London.
In the 36th round of the Premier League, Bayswater Chinese challenged Arsenal away.
The overall strength of the Gunners is actually very strong.
The forward line includes attackers such as Benzema, Sanchez, Van Persie, Nasri, Cazorla and Rosicky.
The midfield also includes players such as Fabregas, Arteta, Wilshere, Toulalan, Alexander Song, Gourcuff and others.
It can be said that Wenger's team ranks among the top teams in the Premier League in terms of bench depth.
But one of Arsenal's biggest problems this season is that their performance in strong matches is not good enough.
Of course, it’s not bad.
Therefore, the Gunners are currently ranked fourth in the Premier League.
Teams that really performed poorly in the strong dialogues, such as Manchester United and Chelsea, have now fallen out of the top four.
Before the 36th round of the Premier League, Wenger's team had no pressure from the Champions League and had a full week to rest and prepare, which gave the Gunners a great advantage in the schedule.
In the starting lineup, Wenger also sent out all the main players.
Goalkeeper: Lloris;
Defense: Clichy, Koscielny, Mertesacker and Lichtsteiner;
Midfield: Arteta and Alexandre Song form a double defensive midfielder, with Fabregas in front;
Forwards: Sanchez, Benzema and Nasri.
With Van Persie's frequent injuries, the Dutch center's condition has been somewhat up and down, and his performance this season has also declined significantly.
This game was put on the bench.
Bayswater Chinese made appropriate rotations, but several main players still started.
Ancelotti’s expectation was absolutely correct. Yang Cheng still hopes to defeat Arsenal and continue to maintain pressure on Manchester City.
Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defense: Marcelo, Pepe, Van Dijk and Piszczek;
Midfield: Casemiro drops back, Pogba and Aaron Ramsey in the middle;
Forwards: Walcott, Harry Kane and Gareth Bale.
After the start of the game, there was an obvious change, that is, Walcott appeared on the left, while Gareth Bale still played on the right.
Yang Cheng hopes to create threats through the inverted winger.
From the beginning, both teams focused on attacking with all their strength.
Just 1 minute and 24 seconds into the game, the Chinese players from Bayswater launched a threatening attack.
After Marcelo threw the ball out of bounds on the left, Pogba stopped the ball, dribbled past Arteta who was defending, and made a sudden long shot.
The football just brushed the post and went out of the bottom line.
This sudden shot made the entire stadium break out in a cold sweat.
But Wenger's team quickly responded.
In the 3rd minute, Nasri passed the ball from the right side of the center. Sanchez stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, cut inside, and suddenly took a long shot.
The position was almost the same as Pogba's long shot just now, the angle was also similar, and the shooting trajectory was almost exactly the same.
The result was also sliding out of the door.
Both teams had their first shot and both were threatening.
This seems to be telling everyone that this will be a tit-for-tat showdown!
In the 6th minute, Marcelo made a straight pass from the left, and Walcott made a horizontal pass near the left bottom line of the penalty area without having a chance to shoot.
Harry Kane's follow-up shot from the center was blocked by Koscielny.
Pogba stopped the ball near the left side of the penalty area and shot again.
Unfortunately, it still missed.
In the 9th minute, Sanchez shot from the left side of the penalty area after a straight pass from Fabregas, but it was caught by Courtois. The back-and-forth offensive battle between the two teams not only made all the fans at the scene burst with adrenaline, but also made the audience in front of the TV feel very excited.
Sky Sports commentators kept saying, "Both teams are not conservative tonight, it will probably be another goal-scoring battle!"
As the strength of the Premier League teams becomes closer and closer, and their technical and tactical styles become more and more open, there have been many goal-scoring battles between strong teams this season.
In the 14th minute, Marcelo saw that Arsenal's entire defensive formation was leaning towards their left side, the right side was empty, and Gareth Bale raised his hand for the ball, so he sent a long diagonal pass.
The football was accurately passed diagonally from the left side of Arsenal's 30-meter area to the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area.
Gareth Bale quickly moved forward, used his body to push Clichy away, stopped the ball with his right foot, and shot with his left foot.
The football was like a cannonball, instantly penetrating Lloris's defense and going into the goal behind him.
1 is better than 0!
Gareth Bale turned and rushed out of the stadium excitedly, braving the boos at the Emirates Stadium, and rushed out of the stadium to celebrate his goal.
"This is Gareth Bale's 32nd Premier League goal of the season!"
"Surpassed last season's 31 goals and set a new personal career high!"
"He is now the most lethal attacker in European football!"
……
The game starts again.
Arsenal did not choose to be conservative just because they lost a goal. On the contrary, the Gunners counterattacked even more fiercely.
The pace of the game has also become faster and the scene is more open.
In the 18th minute, Walcott cut in from the left side of the penalty area and shot a curved ball into the far corner, which was directly caught by Lloris.
In the 21st minute, Sagna made a cross from the right, and Benzema headed the ball in front of the goal, but it was slightly off target.
In the 24th minute, Aaron Ramsey pressed in the frontcourt, intercepted Alexander Song outside the Arsenal penalty area, and made a straight pass. Harry Kane made a hasty low shot, but the angle was too straight and was saved by Lloris.
In the 26th minute, Nasri created a corner kick opportunity when he dribbled the ball on the right side of the frontcourt.
After Arsenal took a corner kick, Koscielny headed the ball into the goal and successfully equalized the score.
1 is better than 1!
Both sides returned to the same starting line.
The entire Emirates Stadium was filled with cheers from Gunners fans.
This game is so exciting!
After the Gunners equalized the score, the Bayswater Chinese launched another counterattack.
From the 30th minute, Yang Cheng's team continued to besiege Arsenal.
In the 34th minute, outside the 30-meter area of Arsenal's half, after the midfielder intercepted the ball, Pogba dribbled forward and passed it to Harry Kane who was retreating to receive the ball.
After the latter retreated to receive the ball, he turned to the right and made a diagonal pass.
When Gareth Bale received the ball on the right frontcourt, facing Clichy, he kept dribbling closer and closer. When he rushed to the right corner of Arsenal's penalty area, he suddenly dribbled the ball across the line.
The Welshman first cut inside and passed Clichy, then accelerated and dribbled the ball past Koscielny. He volleyed the ball with his left foot from the right side of the arc and the ball bounced off the ground and went straight into the lower left corner of the goal.
Although Lloris made a sideways dive, he still failed to save the ball.
2 is better than 1!
"Two goals!!"
"Gareth Bale scored another goal for Bayswater Chinese in the 34th minute!"
“It was a really great long shot!”
Falling behind again, Arsenal quickly launched a counterattack.
In the 42nd minute, Sanchez made a volley from the edge of the penalty area on the left, which was saved by Courtois, causing a melee in the penalty area.
At the critical moment, Fabregas suddenly came back and shot the ball into the goal of the Bayswater Chinese again.
2 is better than 2!
Before the end of the first half, the Gunners equalized the score again.
The two sides tied 2-2 in the first half.
After the second half, Arsenal began to intensify their pressing.
Falling behind twice and equalizing the score twice made the Gunners feel the pressure from top to bottom.
Especially at home.
But the Chinese in Bayswater continued to intensify their attack.
Long before the game, Yang Cheng had already told the players that substitutions would be made in the 60th minute.
After all, we still have to play Real Madrid at home in three days.
Therefore, players including Gareth Bale, Marcelo and others had to be substituted.
The players know this too.
So after the start of the second half, the Bayswater Chinese continued to attack, while Arsenal adopted extremely strong pressing and defense.
But in the 61st minute, when Yang Cheng was about to make a substitution, Marcelo made a steal on the left side of his own half.
Walcott drove the ball straight into the goal and when he was on the left side of the Arsenal penalty area, he passed the ball behind him.
Harry Kane quickly cut into the left side of the penalty area, caught up with Walcott's straight pass, and fired a fierce shot with his left foot.
Gunners goalkeeper Lloris quickly left the goal and dived sideways to save the ball.
The ball landed to the right of the penalty spot.
Gareth Bale, who had just seen Harry Kane make a diagonal run to receive the ball and was about to slow down, reacted immediately, moved forward quickly, and shot the ball with his left foot.
The ball was easily sent into the Gunners' goal!
3 is better than 2!
hat trick!
The entire Emirates Stadium fell silent!
All 6 fans in the stadium were staring at Gareth Bale running on the field.
The Welsh players excitedly rushed out of the stadium, ran all the way to the sidelines, and celebrated the goal with ecstasy.
This is his fourth hat trick this season!
……
One minute after the goal, Yang Cheng replaced Gareth Bale with Sterling.
Shortly afterwards, Luke Shaw replaced Marcelo.
In the 80th minute, Yang Cheng made his last substitution.
As the mainstay of the defense this season, Pepe's performance has been very stable.
It can be said that the Portuguese center back is at the peak of his career.
But at the same time, he also had the most playing time.
Therefore, Yang Cheng replaced Pepe with Harry Maguire in the 80th minute to give him some rest time.
But no one expected that in the 93rd minute, Sagna made a pass from the right.
Van Persie, who came on as a substitute, received the ball on the edge of the penalty area, dribbled into the right side of the penalty area and had a one-on-one chance. He shot with his left foot and broke through Courtois' goal.
In the end, the two sides tied 3-3!
Yang Cheng was actually not satisfied with this result.
In the post-match press conference, he believed that his team performed better throughout the game.
Especially in the second half.
The Gunners were more defensive.
But unfortunately, Van Persie's goal in stoppage time helped Arsenal get a valuable point at home.
However, Wenger was not feeling well either.
Manchester City beat Crystal Palace 2-0 away.
Manchester United beat Norwich 4-0 at home.
In this round, Liverpool lost 0-2 to Chelsea at home.
Interestingly, both goals scored by Mourinho's team came in stoppage time.
Falcao scored a goal in the third minute of stoppage time in the first half.
In the 4th minute of stoppage time in the second half, William scored a goal.
Mancini was extremely dissatisfied with the referee's enforcement, and even said that Liverpool was RJed at Anfield!
"The team that performed better was robbed of three points."
The reason is simple: the extra time was too long.
Chelsea received 4 yellow cards in this game, while Liverpool received 0.
But both Chelsea goals came in stoppage time.
Mancini feels that this is very unfair to Liverpool.
But in fact, looking at the whole game, Liverpool's attack was indeed curbed by Chelsea.
The gap between Bayswater Chinese and Manchester City has widened again.
……
On the evening of April 4th, Prudential Arena, London.
In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Bayswater Chinese will face Real Madrid at home.
Compared with Real Madrid, who vowed before the game to reverse their opponent away from home, the Chinese team of Bayswater, playing at home, adopted a more cautious tactic.
As Yang Cheng said before the game, "We walked into Prudential Arena with a clear advantage!"
In terms of starting lineups, the two teams also adopted different strategies.
Real Madrid has made great adjustments.
Goalkeeper: Casillas;
Defense: Coentrao, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal;
Midfield: Xabi Alonso is in the back, with Di Maria and Isco in front;
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Dzeko and Mesut.
In Yang Cheng's previous life, Mesut had already transferred to Arsenal.
But there is no place for Mesut in the Gunners now.
The German midfielder's situation in Real Madrid has been getting worse and worse, especially after Isco joined, his situation has been reduced to a substitute.
In this game, Ancelotti obviously wanted to use him to strengthen the attack.
Yang Cheng also made some adjustments to the starting lineup in this game.
Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defence: Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Kyle Walker;
Midfield: Matic drops back, with Toni Kroos and Modric in front;
Forwards: Hazard, Giroud and Gareth Bale.
Compared with the first round, Yang Cheng made an adjustment, which was to replace Piszczek with Kyle Walker.
The reason for this adjustment is mainly because Yang Cheng wants to use Kyle Walker to guard Ronaldo.
In his opinion, as long as Ronaldo is frozen, Real Madrid's offensive threat will be reduced by more than half.
Moreover, in this game, time is on the side of the Bayswater Chinese.
From a foul at the beginning of the game, it was obvious that Real Madrid players were anxious.
Just 2 minutes and 11 seconds into the game, Ramos made a mistake in stopping the ball when receiving a pass from Xabi Alonso outside his own 30-meter area, and was intercepted by Gareth Bale.
After successfully intercepting the ball, Gareth Bale wanted to dribble the ball directly towards the 30-meter area of Real Madrid.
As a result, Ramos chased up from the side and made a tackle, knocking Gareth Bale to the ground with the ball.
The referee immediately blew the whistle and gave a yellow card.
Ramos was obviously dissatisfied with the penalty and wanted to argue, but was pulled away by Xabi Alonso.
If it wasn't for the fact that the game had just started, it wouldn't have been excessive to give a red card!
This is actually a common phenomenon in refereeing.
They were more in control of the game.
A red card was given at the start of the game, and Real Madrid lost the first leg at home. Doesn't this make the game lose suspense?
Yang Cheng also understood the unspoken rules of this kind of law enforcement, so he did not act excessively, but just protested loudly a few times on the sidelines.
We still have to apply some pressure when it is necessary.
Only the child who cries gets the milk!
You are so well behaved, even the referee thinks you are in control well!
Even Ramos seemed so anxious, so one can imagine how anxious other Real Madrid players were.
Instead, it was the Bayswater Chinese who patiently controlled the game.
Yang Cheng's team did not adopt the fast-paced offensive start of the past, nor was they as open as they were when they played away against Arsenal three days ago. Instead, they played steadily and patiently against Real Madrid.
In the 14th minute, Real Madrid finally lost their patience and made another mistake.
Isco tried to break through Toni Kroos but failed, and passed the ball to Mesut.
Unexpectedly, Modric suddenly made a sliding tackle and knocked Mesut to the ground with the ball.
This happened on the right side of the centre circle in Bayswater's Chinese half.
The referee did not blow the whistle.
Modric rushed forward with the ball, skillfully pulling the ball with his left and right feet. After passing Xabi Alonso who came forward to assist in defense, he continued to move forward.
Real Madrid's defense line was constantly retreating, but the midfield had been completely lost.
Just when Real Madrid's defense line retreated to the front of the penalty area, Ramos finally couldn't help it and immediately chose to rush forward to intercept Modric who rushed into the 30-meter area with the ball.
Giroud at the front of the center arc area attracted Varane's attention.
At this time, Modric sent a through ball.
The football quickly passed by Ramos and slid into the right side of Real Madrid's penalty area.
Gareth Bale ran forward and left Coentrao behind.
After Ramos made the interception, the Welshman decisively chose to cut diagonally into the right side of the penalty area.
Just at the beginning, in order to avoid being offside, he deliberately slowed down and fell behind Varane who was dragging in the last arc area.
But after Modric made a straight pass, Gareth Bale had no worries and moved forward at the fastest speed, catching up with Modric's pass on the right side of the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Casillas decisively left the goal and rushed to the right corner of the small penalty area.
But Gareth Bale reacted faster. He stopped the ball with his right foot and passed it to his left foot. Then he made another sideways move and immediately passed Casillas who was lying on the ground trying to save the ball.
After catching up, he easily shot the ball into the empty goal with his left foot.
After completing a series of wonderful shots, Gareth Bale did not slow down and rushed straight to the left side outside the penalty area.
The entire Prudential Arena also erupted with crazy passion at this moment.
In an instant, 9 fans shouted Gareth Bale's name in unison.
"It was a great combination of two players."
"Modric intercepted the ball and counterattacked, passing Real Madrid's midfielder and directly threatening the defense."
"I have to say that at least half of the credit for this goal should go to Modric."
"It was this interception by the Croatian midfielder, followed by his dribbling and final through ball, that gave Gareth Bale a one-on-one opportunity."
"Of course, Gareth Bale handled the one-on-one shot very calmly. After dribbling past Casillas, he shot into the empty goal with his left foot. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, very beautiful!"
……
The 2-1 victory in the first leg and the goal in the 14th minute of the second leg still failed to stop Real Madrid.
The total score is 3 to 1.
For Real Madrid, as long as they can score two goals, they will be able to tie the total score.
With Real Madrid's strength, this is completely achievable.
Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines and kept reminding his players, asking them to pay attention.
Especially Kyle Walker.
The most important task for England's right back in this game is to keep a close eye on Ronaldo.
As Real Madrid's main attackers, the two started competing from the beginning.
Whether it is a physical battle or a speed battle, it is difficult for Ronaldo to gain an advantage over Kyle Walker.
After several unsuccessful attempts to break through on the left, Ronaldo had to start changing his offensive line.
He first appeared in the middle, but was also suppressed by Matic.
Afterwards, he appeared on the right side and cooperated with Di Maria to attack the side where Marcelo was.
From the 20th minute, Real Madrid frequently posed threats.
First, Dzeko shot from the edge of the small penalty area and almost broke Courtois' goal.
Then came Ronaldo's long shot and the Portuguese superstar's header, both of which were slightly off target.
But just when Real Madrid was gradually gaining momentum, the Chinese in Bayswater completed a beautiful defense.
In the 34th minute, Thiago Silva took the lead, defended in front, intercepted the ball from Isco and passed it to Dzeko, and then launched a quick counterattack.
Hazard dribbled the ball all the way forward and reached Real Madrid's half.
Marcelo quickly dribbled forward and received the pass from Hazard on the left side outside the penalty area.
But by this time, Carvajal had already returned to his position.
Having learned from the experience of conceding the first goal, Real Madrid is now defending very quickly.
The left back faces the right back in a one-on-one battle.
Marcelo continued to dribble and feint in an attempt to confuse Carvajal, but the Real Madrid right-back remained unmoved.
The Brazilian left-back finally seized an opportunity and instead of crossing the ball, he cut in from the left corner of the penalty area.
As soon as he cut inside, Marcelo made a diagonal pass with his right foot, accurately transferring the ball to the back point.
Real Madrid's defenders were simply unable to defend against diagonal passes from this position and angle.
The football fell accurately near the right corner of the small penalty area.
Almost at the same time, Gareth Bale quickly moved forward and broke into the right side of Real Madrid's penalty area with an unstoppable momentum. With the help of inertia, he jumped high and headed the ball fiercely towards Marcelo's diagonal pass.
The ball was smashed into Real Madrid's goal by Gareth Bale, passing through Casillas' hands and into the left side of the goal.
"The ball went in!!!"
"In the 34nd minute, Bayswater Chinese scored another goal!"
"Gareth Bale again!"
"The Welshman scored another brace!"
"This is simply incredible!"
"He's in great shape!"
"He has been scoring goals like crazy since the Champions League knockout stage, and recently he's been scoring twice in consecutive games!"
"The unstoppable Bell leads the Bayswater Chinese to advance triumphantly!"
"It's always 4 to 1!"
"Real Madrid is in a very difficult situation now."
"They need to score at least three goals in the remaining 60 minutes of the game."
“But this is almost an impossible task at Prudential Arena!”
It can be said that Gareth Bale's second goal completely destroyed the morale and fighting spirit of Real Madrid players.
2 goals, they still have a chance.
But it is almost impossible to score three goals without preventing the Chinese from counterattacking and scoring.
Especially at Prudential Arena.
Moreover, there is only one hour left in the game.
Who can do it?
After Gareth Bale scored, the morale of Real Madrid players was visibly declining.
One obvious change is that they no longer played as aggressively and offensively as they did at the beginning of the game.
They even began to adopt the same cautious tactics as the Chinese in Bayswater.
Ancelotti was helpless about this.
After the second half, he did not make any substitutions until the 70th minute.
Morata replaced Mesut and started to adopt a 442 formation.
Isco was then replaced by Illarramendi.
This is actually a very obvious signal.
Yang Cheng was also making substitutions.
Harry Kane, Pogba and Sterling took turns coming on as substitutes.
Yang Cheng also hopes to let them feel the atmosphere and rhythm of the Champions League semi-finals.
But in the end, Bayswater Chinese beat Real Madrid 2-0 with Gareth Bale scoring twice.
Advance to the finals with a total score of 4-1!
In another match, Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 with Manchester United away from home, and then returned home to beat the Red Devils 2-0.
Bayswater Chinese's opponent in the Champions League final is Atletico Madrid led by Simeone!
