Vol 4 Chapter 204: Madrid's decisive battle

After playing the game with Düsseldorf, Dortmund's team rushed back to their home base overnight. Fortunately, Düsseldorf is not too far from Dortmund.
After returning to Dortmund, Klopp announced the dissolution of the team. These players who participated in the match against Düsseldorf will not be used for training tomorrow morning. They can take a good night’s sleep at home, take a break, and then come to the team for training in the afternoon .
On Monday their team will fly to Madrid in preparation for the second round of the semifinals.
Some people think that the game is just as easy as walking through the field, but I am afraid it is not as simple as everyone thinks...
Before the game, the media in Madrid had started a general mobilization. On the publicity position for two days, the fans were called on to support Real Madrid on the spot. The words were quite horrible.
"... Real Madrid has reached the most critical moment, it is time to show our love for the team!"
"Let us unite, let go of all stereotypes, and fight for the team in the Bernabeu until the last moment!"
"The team needs us! Any shaking back at this time is no different than surrendering!"
"Go to Bernabeu! Turn it into hell! Use our enthusiasm to melt stubborn stones into rolling lava!"
"This is the finals! This is the finals! We have to treat this game like the finals. The players must do their best on the court. Similarly, our fans should no longer be like gentlemen in the stands!"
...
Other media cited various historically successful reversal cases to cheer Real Madrid fans and teams.
The most mentioned nature is the miracle of A Coruña.
In the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in 2004, A Coruña challenged AC Milan in the first round and lost 1:4. At that time, everyone thought that A Coruña had been eliminated and the second round had no game. suspense.
As a result, A Coruña, who answered at home, eliminated AC Milan, who was like a sleepwalker, with a 4:0 and a total score of 5:4.
Some media even specifically found the A Coruña Uruguay striker Pandiani, who performed well in that game at that time, and let him reverse the move for Real Madrid.
Pandiani said that if Real Madrid wants to reverse Dortmund at their home, then the first thing they need to do is to play Dortmund with an unsettled foothold. In the time just after the game, they strive to score goals as soon as possible. As long as there is one goal, the rest of the game will be much better. The mentality of the players on both sides will undergo some subtle changes, and these changes will have a direct impact on the game.
In addition, the head referee of this game also received much attention.
The Madrid media naturally hopes to have a referee who is beneficial to Real Madrid to enforce the game. It is not that the referee will really favor Real Madrid, but from the historical data of his law enforcement related to Real Madrid. Out some probability.
According to the content announced by UEFA, the referee for the enforcement of this game will be Howard Webb, the England Golden Whistle.
This selection made Real Madrid fans and the media feel complicated.
First of all, as a referee who has executed the UEFA Champions League final and World Cup finals, Weber is of course a very high level, but sometimes he will make some inexplicable mistakes.
For example, when he enforced the 2010 World Cup final, there was an obvious controversial penalty in the game-then the Dutch national team's midfielder De Jong kicked and kicked the Spanish midfielder Harvey Aron. This was a very bad foul on Suo's chest, but Weber only gave De Jong a yellow card and left him on the court. After the match, Weber admitted that he should have sent De Jong a red card. Fortunately, Spain finally won the World Cup. If Spain loses the game, the controversial penalty will be said after the game.
The Madrid media made a statistic on the games related to Weber's law enforcement and Real Madrid. Before this game, he had three times to enforce Real Madrid. Real Madrid's results were one win, one draw and one loss, a very average result. Two of these games were against German teams.
Weber's first match against Real Madrid was the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League group stage. Real Madrid defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 at home.
Another game related to the German team was the Champions League semi-final last season. Real Madrid lost 1-2 to Bayern Munich away.
If it is hard to analyze, it can be said that in the game of Weber's law enforcement Real Madrid and the German team, as long as the Real Madrid main game against the German team, they will win.
But in fact, this analysis is meaningless, because there are too few data, and it is not convincing.
And in last season's Real Madrid away game against Bayern Munich, Weber also had a controversial penalty-when Ribery opened the record for Bayern Munich, Gustavo affected Casillas in the offside position, but Weber But insisted that the penalty goal is valid.
Seen in this light, Webb's enforcement of this game is probably not good news for Real Madrid.
But the media still have to find something beneficial to Real Madrid to encourage the team and fans.
For Real Madrid, look for people from Real Madrid.
Really let the media find out, the media found that for Real Madrid's current coach Mourinho, Weber should be an old acquaintance. When Mourinho coached Chelsea, he did not deal with Webber. When Inter Milan played against Bayern Munich in the 2010 UEFA Champions League final, it was Howard Webber who enforced the match. Mourinho's team defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 in that game, and the Portuguese coach got his second coaching career champion.
In this sense, Weber seems to be Mourinho's "Fuxing".
And there is one more thing that can testify that the two seem to have a good relationship-it was still a 1-2 loss to Bayern Munich last season. Although Weber had a controversial penalty in the game, after the game, Mourinho did Choose to defend the British referee: "This ball is obviously offside, but it is normal for the referee to make such an error. I will not criticize anyone."
This is very rare for Mourinho, who has always treated the referee harshly.
So if Weber and Mourinho's personal relationship is really good, then maybe he will intentionally or unintentionally bias a little Real Madrid in the game? If this is the case, it will be a major benefit for Real Madrid.
In addition, the Madrid media also found that Weber is actually a "fuxing" for the Spaniards. The World Cup final in South Africa was the first time in Spanish history to win the World Cup. The referee for the game was Weber.
Of course, not everyone thinks that Weber's enforcement of Real Madrid's game is a good thing for Real Madrid.
First of all, he often has some inexplicable mistakes in the game, there are some controversial penalties, Real Madrid was only pitted by Weber last season, this time no one will guarantee everything goes well.
In addition, everyone knows that Weber is a supporter of Manchester United. While Mourinho coached Chelsea, the main opponent was Manchester United. At the same time in the quarterfinals of this season, Real Madrid just eliminated Manchester United...

On April 29, the Dortmund team arrived in Madrid by plane.
At the airport, the players had to face numerous reporters and the problems they threw.
Some people chose not to talk, and some people chose to perfunctory, but Zhou Yi stopped and took the initiative to cooperate.
The reporters quickly gathered up and separated him from his teammates.
Everyone threw the questions they prepared to Zhou Yi.
Facing the swarming reporters and the questions they asked, Zhou Yi didn't change his face, and he smiled and replied: "How do you feel about Madrid? I honestly don't want to come, and we have been here too many times this season Alright, ha!"
When he said this, the reporters also laughed.
This is really the case. In the group stage, Dortmund and Real Madrid were divided into a group, so the team came to Madrid once in the group stage. Then in the quarter-finals, Dortmund and Atletico Madrid met, another Madrid team. So come again. Now in the semi-finals, they met Real Madrid again, and in this way, came to Madrid three times in one season...
"So what do you think of the next game? There is a voice in the outside world that this game is a form for Dortmund..."
Zhou Yi interrupted the opponent and shook his head: "No, no, no. How could it be the form? It is not difficult for Real Madrid to score three goals. If we ourselves think this game is just a form If so, I’m afraid we will get out of the Champions League in the end."
A Chinese reporter asked:
Madrid media used the example of the match between Deportunia and AC Milan as an example, thinking that Real Madrid still has the possibility of a comeback...

"Of course, even a probability of a few hundredths of a percent is possible. So we will not take it lightly, we are not AC Milan... In addition, I think the media are too unfriendly to AC Milan. When it comes to reversing miracles or anything, I take AC Milan as an example. What is the miracle of Istanbul, what is the miracle of La Coruna...really, I am a fan of non-AC Milan fans! Joked.
""Marca" calls on Real Madrid fans to turn Bernabeu into hell..."
"That's not very good~EbookFREE.me~ We play at the level at home half of the season, so this feeling is really familiar. If Bernabeu really becomes hell, I think It will help us to play instead."
On the one hand, he said he would not underestimate the enemy; on the other hand, Zhou Yi also showed great confidence.
Before the game, Zhou Yi did not participate much, but every time he participated, he took advantage of the opponent's advantage. This is also his ability.
A reporter once lamented that if Zhou Yi was keen on fighting, I am afraid that few people in football could have done him... This was seen during the Olympics last year.
But it is a pity that Zhou Yi's "big killer" level mouth is not easy to fire, otherwise the media practitioners will just like the New Year every day... (to be continued)).
