After defeating Roma 3-0 at home, Real Madrid successfully but somewhat nervously advanced to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League with a total score of 4-2.
The next day, with the remaining Champions League games over, all the top eight teams in the UEFA Champions League for the 2007-08 season were produced. Among these eight teams, the biggest beneficiary is the Premier League. The four teams that participated in the Champions League group stage, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal, all successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, accounting for half of the Champions League, which shocked the world. .
¡°However, despite being shocked, the fans also had to sigh. After all, it is the most profitable league in the world, but the team¡¯s combat effectiveness is extremely low.
Premier League bug4 has occupied four places in the Champions League quarter-finals, and La Liga still occupies two of the remaining four places, namely Real Madrid and Barcelona. However, compared with the Premier League, La Liga is a little thin this season. The last two top eight spots are Schalke 04 of the Bundesliga and Fenerbahce, the Turkish Super League team that surprised teams around the world. The former eliminated the Portuguese Super League giant Porto, and the latter even eliminated the powerful La Liga team Sevilla. It can be seen that the strength of the two teams still has some gold content.
This season, all the top eight seats in the Champions League have been determined, and the results of the top eight matches were also announced through a draw that night.
Among them, in the first half draw results, the two teams recognized as the weakest among the Champions League quarter-finals were luckily hit by Real Madrid and Chelsea respectively. Among them, Schalke 04 was divided into a group with Real Madrid, and Fenerbahce and Chelsea are in one group.
As soon as the draw results came out, many fans lamented the good luck of Real Madrid and Chelsea, because Schalke 04 and Fenerbahce obviously could not stop these two teams. In other words, Real Madrid and Chelsea have already occupied two of the top four seats in the Champions League this season. This is undoubtedly a very successful Champions League season for the two European giants.
With the situation in the upper half divided, the draw results for the lower half were soon announced. Among them, Manchester United and Barcelona will stage a wonderful battle. Arsenal and Liverpool will engage in a Premier League civil war, and the game is also quite exciting.
However, compared to the competition in the first half, the competition in the second half was obviously much more tragic. In fact, whether Manchester United plays Barcelona or the Premier League civil war between Arsenal and Liverpool, these two games have reached the requirements of the semi-finals or finals. If one of these two games is played in the final, it will definitely attract the attention of fans around the world.
But as fate would have it, these two Champions League final-level games were placed in the Champions League quarter-finals. For this season¡¯s Champions League. This is undoubtedly a huge loss. But then again, maybe that¡¯s what football is really about. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ The Champions League quarter-final group results came out, and fans all over the world were immediately shocked by the Champions League group results. This level of shock is even more shocking than the top four of the Premier League occupying half of the top eight of the Champions League.
And for the participating teams. It's not just a shock, it's also a kind of pressure. The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will start on April 2 and end on April 10. In just two weeks, all participating teams have to participate in four games, which is a double match every two consecutive weeks. For a team that has reached the end of the season. Especially for teams that still have hope of competing for the championship, it is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
If it goes well, both the league and the Champions League may go well. If you're unlucky, you probably won't be able to make a profit at both ends. Xu Feng didn't quite understand what was going on with the other teams. But Xu Feng is still very clear about Real Madrid's situation.
The current injury situation in Real Madrid is still relatively serious. Ramos and Pepe are both still recovering from injuries. Even if Pepe's condition is better, Pepe can already perform simple recovery training. But it will still take two weeks before the game can officially take place, and Ramos will have to wait a long time.
And just yesterday. Team vice-captain Golden Wolf Guti was also injured. It can be seen from Guti's painful expression that his injury is not optimistic, and Real Madrid must be mentally prepared to lose the vice-captain for a period of time.
Fortunately, while bad news keeps happening, good news comes one after another. The return of Ruud Ruud can greatly alleviate the tension in Real Madrid's forward line.
What? With Raul and Xu Feng, Higuain and Soldado, how could Real Madrid's striker be nervous?
But don't forget that Raul has not scored a goal in many games. As for Higuain and Soldado, they also cannot meet Schuster's requirements. Therefore, currently the only striker player Real Madrid can rely on is Xu Feng. Just people.
As for why this situation occurs, it should be blamed on Real Madrid¡¯s current locker room environment. As we all know, Higuain and Soldado are two very talented and powerful young forwards. Such two young talents, no matter if they are placed in any other team, they will definitely be the team's core forwards. ButThis is not possible in Real Madrid, they must be substitutes for the two veterans Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy. There will only be a chance to play when the two veterans' physical fitness fails, or when the team rotates normally.
Now, Xu Feng firmly occupies a forward position in Real Madrid, which means Higuain and Soldado have been reduced to substitutes. The very little playing time naturally caused the two young talents to lose their sense of scoring goals, and naturally they were unable to achieve the goal that Schuster required upon playing.
Now that Ruud is back, Schuster can finally let captain Raul sit on the bench and calm down. Otherwise, with Raul's current state, it will be a matter of time before he is kicked out by Real Madrid. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ The team¡¯s forward situation has improved, which seems to bring good luck to the entire team. In the twenty-seventh round of La Liga on March 9, Real Madrid, sitting at home, welcomed its league opponent Espanyol.
In the first round of the match between the two teams this season, Real Madrid once won the away game with Xu Feng's brace. In this game, Real Madrid occupies the home court and naturally wants to win in order to end the team's embarrassing two-game losing streak in the league.
In this game, Xu Feng and Van Nistelrooy, who returned from injury, formed Real Madrid's attacking front combination. Raul was indeed on the bench as reported by the media. Raul, who was sitting on the bench, had an expressionless face, making it difficult to tell from the surface his mental activities at this time. However, on the court, Real Madrid showed a very proactive attitude. In less than 5 minutes after the opening, there were already 4 shots on goal, three of which were within the goal frame. This shows that Real Madrid is in really good shape in this game.
In the end, after a 90-minute contest, Real Madrid, which was clearly dominant, was slightly better, defeating Espanyol 2-0 at home, ending the team's two-game losing streak. And Xu Feng has unknowingly increased his league goals to 39 goals, which is only one goal away from La Liga's single-season scoring record of 40 goals.
