Chapter 400: .400 Visit the Bernabeu again!

Hamburg Chairman Hoffman will naturally not join the team as a guest at the Bernabeu. The Champions League semi-finals are definitely the focus of global attention!
Real Madrid President Florentino, whether it is out of courtesy or out of wanting to have a good relationship with Hamburg, so that the talented star who will introduce Hamburg in the future, Hoffman still invited Hoffman into the chairman box to watch the game together.
It's just that they feel a little awkward to sit together. Florentino stretched his face as if he was worried, while Hoffman looked around with ease like a curious baby.
Hoffman has no mental baggage. As the Hamburg coach, he can watch his team play in the Champions League semi-finals at the Bernabeu. This is already a very glorious moment.
He is content. Hamburg has just finished defending the league and is now entering the Champions League final. Even if he fell to Real Madrid, he has no regrets.
Especially the club has saved a lot of money in the past two years, and the investors’ money can’t be spent. The life is not only comfortable, but also respected. To put it bluntly, the boss or chairman of any club in European football will give it to you. He has thin noodles, nothing else, just to make a good relationship with Hamburg and do some business in the future.
As for whether Florentino has taken root in his heart, there is no way to know. He has been in Real Madrid for almost three years. The honor the team has won is nothing more than a Copa del Rey, which can break Barcelona this year. The monopoly of the league is also an achievement that can barely be accounted for to fans.
The Champions League led by Mourinho last year ended the awkward record of 16 francs in the Champions League for many consecutive years. Unfortunately, it stopped in the semi-finals and reached the semi-finals this year, which can be regarded as allowing Real Madrid to restore the image of a top team in the European war. .
It is not necessary to win a championship to be considered a top-level team. Just like 10 years ago, people always said that the Premier League is strong, because for many years in a row, the Premier League teams can occupy at least two places in the top four and at least three in the top eight. In fact, the only Premier League teams that can win the title are Manchester United and Liverpool in 2005.
Real Madrid's emergence from the shadow of the Champions League round of 16 is a good sign.
It’s just that Florentino’s distress is that Situ Yunbing pierced the emperor’s new clothes. Mourinho’s Real Madrid is not his ideal, just as Abramovich’s expectations of Chelsea have been beautiful football from the beginning. But almost ten years later, Chelsea is still more than iron, not gorgeous.
Real Madrid’s aristocratic demeanor is greatly reduced compared to the past heyday, which has almost become Florentino’s heart disease, but at the moment the record is most needed, followed by the image of Real Madrid, Mourinho is currently The best choice for the team, because no coaches in European football would dare to guarantee that they can be both gorgeous in style and defeat Barcelona. To put it bluntly, it means that compared with offensive football, who can do better than Barcelona. What?
In a similar style of competition, no one is Barcelona's opponent.
When the players of the two teams entered the field, Hoffman finally stopped looking around, tidy up his suit and sat down looking down on the court.
Florentino swept Hamburg's starting lineup, not to mention, he likes at least half of the players.
There are many Hamburgers whose image and temperament meets the requirements of Real Madrid to build a team, and there may be less ability to meet the standards, but they are young and can be polished slowly.
He already thought about having a good talk with Hoffman after the game.
When the starters of the two teams stood in line on the court for the kick-off ceremony, Situ Yunbing's eyes always fixed on Pepe, the starter of Real Madrid. When the opponent noticed him, Situ Yunbing showed him a touch. A disdainful smile.
Peppa suddenly surged in anger, but was suppressed by himself.
Perhaps they have experienced too many provocations similar to those of fans. Players have become numb and able to achieve a calm mood, but facing the provocation of the opponent coach is rare.
Especially when the other party publicly criticizes you for nothing.
Mourinho didn't find this detail, and looked serious and waited for the start of the game.
"Good evening, friends and spectators, welcome to the focus of the first round of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Real Madrid will play at the Bernabéu Stadium at home to Hamburg from the Bundesliga!
Four days ago, Hamburg had just announced the success of three rounds of defending in the league ahead of schedule. They can devote themselves to the Champions League.
On the other hand, Real Madrid has no room to relax in multi-line combat this season. Although their opponent Barcelona, ​​as the defending champion, performed slightly worse than last season, it also brought great pressure to Real Madrid.
By the end of the 34th round of La Liga, Real Madrid had scored a terrifying 88 points, but only led Barcelona by 4 points!
With 4 rounds left in La Liga, whether Real Madrid can break Barcelona's dominance of the league is still full of suspense.
Against this background, they met Hamburg in the Champions League semi-finals. From a pressure point of view, Hamburg must have a certain advantage.
Real Madrid's Champions League journey this season has been smooth and smooth, and Hamburg is also the same, but Hamburg has faced even greater challenges. As a fourth-tier team, Hamburg has had two conversations with defending champion Barcelona in the group stage. They were unexpected. The ground achieved a superior record of one win and one tie, thus laying the foundation for the top spot in the group.
In the knockout round, Hamburg has won four games in a row, with home and away doubles of Monaco and Bayern Munich, which can be said to be the best performing team among the semi-finals.
But to say that they are the favorites to win, we may have to see if they can pass the Real Madrid level!
It is worth mentioning that the coaches of the two teams Situ Yunbing and Mourinho had a confrontation in the Champions League final two years ago. That final was also played at the Bernabéu stadium today. In the end, Monaco beat Inter Milan 2:1. With the Champions League trophy, Situ Yunbing also became the recognized top coach in European football after that game!
Two years later, when they met again, the two did not seem to have the joy of reunion, only the sudden increase in contradictions and hatred. Situ Yunbing took the initiative to make a series of negative comments on Real Madrid before the game, while Mourinho made a contemptuous gesture. Hit back!
I don’t know who will be the winner in this famous battle!
Here are the starting lineups of both sides.
Real Madrid, which sits at home, started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Defenders: Abeloa, Ramos, Pepe, Coentron.
Midfielder: Khedira, Özil, Alonso.
Forwards: Di Maria, Benzema, C Ronaldo.
Due to Marcelo's injury, Mourinho had to use Coentran in this game. In addition, Real Madrid's formation was basically not unexpected.
Hamburg started 442 away today.
Goalkeeper: Navas.
Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Boateng, Matuidi.
Midfielder: De Bruyne, De Mer, Kanter, Rakitic.
Forwards: Griezman, Royce.
Hamburg still maintains a rigorous style in the Champions League and attaches great importance to defense and midfield control.
As Real Madrid accounted for a very high proportion of defensive counterattacks this season, Hamburg has also used defensive counterattacks in the Champions League. Perhaps today both teams will use defensive counterattacks to contain each other!
In that case, the game may become a bit boring.
Hope it won't be so!
Well, the kick-off ceremony before the game has been completed, let us look forward to the two teams can offer a classic battle for all the audience! "
With the referee's whistle, the game officially kicked off.
At the beginning of the game, Hamburg put on a tight defensive posture to see what Real Madrid makes!
Real Madrid fought a defensive counterattack for a season, almost invincible!
But want to break the fortress of Hamburg in the battle, I am afraid it is not so easy.
And at the level of the Champions League semi-finals, does Mourinho allow the team to reduce the defensive strength and take the initiative to attack?
Situ Yunbing still intends to beat his opponent with static braking.
Real Madrid didn't invest much in the offensive position, only three strikers and a midfielder Özil.
Cristiano Ronaldo got caught up in the attack between De Bruyne and Azpilicueta after the left-handed approach in the front court. He knocked the ball beautifully behind CHOP and turned to a crosscut to get rid of, but after seeing Kanter decisively The ball was knocked back diagonally to Özil, who made a diagonal pass to transfer the offense to the front right.
Di Maria turned into the inner track and pulled the ball back as soon as he stopped the ball. After adjusting in place, he dropped the ball into the penalty area.
Benzema lost to Boateng in the fight for the high-altitude ball, who easily headered the ball.
Rakitic took possession of the ball in the backcourt near the center. Real Madrid’s defense was tight in the center. Alonso and Hedira maintained a close defense. Özil, Di Maria, Ronaldo and Benzema were the four. The offensive players quickly withdrew to participate in the counter grab!
Seeing this group of big-name stars are participating in the defense, willing to put down their body to do dirty work, such a Real Madrid, it is difficult to think of results!
It's really impossible to change to a general team, but Hamburg has experienced big winds and waves after all, and they have strong strength themselves.
When Rakitic passed the ball directly to the right of the front court, Griezmann knocked the ball back to De Bruyne, who was inserted under the pressure of Coentran, and then quickly turned around and moved forward quickly. Plug in.
When Griezmann crossed in, he and Royce completed a cross-swap. When De Bruyne sent the ball to the front right of the penalty area, Alonso's defense was not yet in place. Previously, he was active in a positional battle. Offensively, the midfielder certainly can't be left behind, and it is bound to move forward.
And Hamburg's counterattack is as fast as lightning!
After Royce stopped the ball and adjusted a step, before Pepe could grab, he started a long shot three meters in front of him!
The kick was a bit positive, Casillas moved a step and lowered his center of gravity to hug the ball. Real Madrid's goal was not tested.
It’s just that Peipei is unwilling. He wants to show the Hamburg players a bit of color, as if to vent his hatred of Situ Yunbing on the Hamburg players!
