Chapter 132 Chapter 【095】Europa League Knockout 【Seeking Subscription, Monthly Pass】

Before the end of the winter transfer, the Spanish Football League had already resumed.As early as January 2008, 1, the second half of the season of the Spanish Football League officially started. The first game of Real Zaragoza was a heavyweight game, away to challenge the Spanish League giants Real Madrid.

Real Zaragoza's death sentence has basically been judged for an away game against the Spanish leader. Before the game, no one was optimistic about Real Zaragoza. Even Real Zaragoza's own media "Zaragoza Sport" was not optimistic about Real Zaragoza. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides is simply too big.Take a look, look at the starting rosters of the two sides, and you will be able to see the difference in strength!

Home team: Real Madrid, head coach: Bernd Schuster, formation: 4-4-2.

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas

Back four [from left to right]: Royseton Drenthe, Pepe, Fabio Cannavaro, Sergio Ramos

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Robinho, Diarra, Fernando Gago, Sneijder

Forwards: Van Nistelroone, Raul

Away team: Real Zaragoza, head coach: Victor Fernandez, formation: 4-4-2

Goalkeeper: Cesar

Back four [from left to right]: Diogo, Sergio, Ayala, Juan Julan

Four midfielders [from left to right]: Dali Sandro, Cedras, Aimar, Lucin

Forwards: Diego Milito, Oliveira

You can see the gap in strength between the two teams just from the lineups of the two teams. In addition to the people on the starting list, you can look at Real Madrid's bench.Arjen Robben, Higuain, Guti, Babutista, Metzelder, Heinze, etc., any one of these people, they can squeeze out the main players in the current starting list of Real Zaragoza.This is a team that can play against Real Zaragoza on the bench.

In this game, Xu Zhou didn't start. Victor Fernandez put defense first, so he had a strong attacking power. Xu Zhou, who was poor in defense, was completely pushed on the bench.This annoyed Xu Zhou very much. It has always been Xu Zhou's ideal to be able to play against such a super star.However, with such a good opportunity now, he can only watch others perform from the bench, which is really annoying.

And Xu Zhou, who stepped into the Bernabéu stadium for the first time, was also deeply shocked by this stadium. Although he had been to Camp Nou before, when he saw more than [-] people wearing uniform white jerseys, the scene still moved Xu Zhou very much.Shocking, quite shocking, no wonder so many players want to join Real Madrid!

At the beginning of the game, Real Zaragoza was hit hard, and all the predictions of problems before the game were being fulfilled step by step.In the 12th minute of the first half, Real Madrid scored a goal against Real Zaragoza. It was the Dutchman Ruud van Nistelroone who scored the goal.After receiving the pass from midfielder Gago, Robinho advanced at high speed, threw off Lucin's defense, and then made a series of cycling moves in front of Juan Julan, which made Juan Julan dizzy.Robinho rushed into the penalty area, attracted Sergio's defense, pushed the ball to the unguarded Ruud van Nistelroone in the middle, and then easily swept the ball into Real Zaragoza's goal, 1:0.

The moment the ball hit the net, Xu Zhou experienced the madness of the Real Madrid fans. The shouts made Xu Zhou's eardrums tremble! !

After taking the lead, Real Madrid played more relaxedly, and Real Madrid's stars played more casually and smoothly. A series of classic and wonderful cooperation were displayed in front of the Bernabeu fans.Although, since Schuster moved into Real Madrid, their football has changed from gorgeous football to pragmatic football. Although their results are very good, the Bernabeu fans seem not satisfied with the team's way of playing.However, today, at the Bernabeu, they saw the rare gorgeous football this season.

Real Madrid's stars frequently threatened Real Zaragoza's goal, which made Victor Fernandez on the coach's bench terrified.Although, he had expected the end of the game, but he did not expect that Real Zaragoza collapsed so quickly.

In the 34th minute of the first half, Real Madrid finally expanded the score.It was the Brazilian kid Robinho who scored for them. It was Robinho's continuous breakthroughs on the wing that caused chaos in the Real Zaragoza penalty area. From the corner of the penalty area, Robinho volleyed with his foot. The ball flew up like a missile and hit the upper back corner of the goal. Cesar had no chance.

After leading by two goals, Real Madrid slowed down their attacking rhythm, and Real Zaragoza was able to occasionally threaten Real Madrid's goal.However, at the end of the first half, they were still behind with a score of [-]:[-].At the start of the second half, Real Madrid first made adjustments. They replaced Gago with Arjen Robben. They pushed Sneijder into the center to organize the attack, and gave up the wing to Peter Pan.

Although he didn't play in the first half, Xu Zhou also learned a lot on the sidelines. The stars of Real Madrid taught Xu Zhou a very vivid lesson.Xu Zhouyi was looking forward to playing in this game, but in the 18th minute of the second half, Real Madrid scored another goal against Real Zaragoza.This time it was the Dutch Peter Pan who had just played to break the goal of Real Zaragoza. He broke through continuously on the other side, tore through the defense of Real Zaragoza, volleyed from the penalty area, and shot the ball into the goal of Real Zaragoza, 3:0.

Perhaps it was Real Madrid's three goals that overwhelmed Victor Fernandez, so instead of letting Xu Zhou play, he replaced them with two defenders.This made the fans of Real Zaragoza feel very incredible. Do they still have to stick to it at this time? ?At this time, it is obvious that Xu Zhou should come up and charge.

However, Victor Fernandez let them down, he did not replace Xu Zhou.After replacing two defensive players, it did play a role in Real Zaragoza's defense.However, at this time, they are already behind by a large score, so should they continue to defend? ?

In the game after the second half, the scene was a lot calmer. As time passed, there was not much time left in the game.At this time, Victor Fernandez finally replaced Xu Zhou. At this time, Real Madrid had no intention of attacking much, and the scene calmed down. At this time, it is better for Real Zaragoza to strengthen the attack. Unfortunately, the calm of the scene came too late. Now Victor Fernandez no longer expects the team to equalize the score. He only hopes that Xu Zhou's appearance can stimulate the team's offense and score a consolation goal.

After playing, Xu Zhou was finally able to compete with these stars, but at this time they didn't want to play anymore, and they couldn't get any more energy at all, which made Xu Zhou very annoyed.In the following games, Xu Zhou worked very hard and continuously broke through and threatened the opponent's defense line, but Pepe and Cannavaro's defense made him return without success many times, and at the end of the game, he did not break through Real Madrid's goal. In the end, Real Zaragoza lost the away game against the leader, and Xu Zhou only played [-] minutes in this game!

After losing to Real Madrid, Victor Fernandez's formation ability was doubted by the fans. They believed that if Xu Zhou was allowed to start, the team would never lose like this. Then the call for a coaching change that had just subsided gradually rose again.However, Real Zaragoza ignored it and continued to play in the league.On January 1th, Real Zaragoza played against Mallorca at home. In this game, Xu Zhou started and scored a goal, but the team was tied 13:2 by Mallorca at home.This pushed Victor Fernandez to the forefront again, but fortunately, in the next match against Murcia, Real Zaragoza beat their opponent with a score of 2:3, which eased Victor Fernandez's crisis!

However, recent results of Real Zaragoza are like riding a roller coaster. Just after winning the next game, Real Zaragoza got another draw in the away game. Racing Santander drew with Real Zaragoza with 2008 goals at home. In this game, Xu Zhou started and assisted!Then the time entered February, and the winter transfer in [-] officially ended!

On February 2, Real Zaragoza returned home to play against Athletic Bilbao. In this game, Xu Zhou started and scored the only goal of the game. Real Zaragoza beat the opponent 3-1 at home. On February 0th, Real Zaragoza lost to Waterloo again in an away game, losing to Osasuna 2:10.This season, Real Zaragoza's home and away results are very different, and they can't always win the away game, which makes the fans of Real Zaragoza worry unceasingly!

After the game on February 2th, Real Zaragoza will face the knockout round of the UEFA Cup. They qualify with No.10 in Group F and advance to the top 2 of the UEFA Cup, which is the knockout round.And their knockout opponent has already been determined, and that is Atletico Madrid from the same league as them!After entering the UEFA Cup knockout round, this competition system has also become a double cycle, with home and away games.On February 32, 2008, Real Zaragoza will face Atletico Madrid at their home court.The second round away game will be played on February 2!

Atletico Madrid, in 1903, the club was originally a branch club of Athletic-Bilbao (Athletic-Bilbao). At that time, it was wearing blue and white jerseys. In 1911, the team changed to the current red and white vertical striped jerseys and dark blue ball pants. In 1921, the club officially became independent from Athletic Bilbao and established Atlético de Madrid.The team also occupies a very important part in the history of Spanish football. They have won the Spanish Second Division once, the First Division nine times, the Spanish King's Cup nine times, the Spanish Super Cup three times, the UEFA Champions League runner-up once, the Intercontinental Cup champion once, and the European Cup Winners Cup champion once.

Although their performance in the past few seasons is not outstanding, they often appear on the UEFA Champions League stage, and this season they participated in the UEFA Cup stage.Although their golden boy has left the team, their team still cannot be underestimated, and in this season's league, Atletico Madrid's ranking is much higher than Real Zaragoza!Moreover, in the first match between the two teams in the league, Real Zaragoza was blocked by the opponent, so it is a very difficult task for Victor Fernandez to compete with Atletico Madrid for a place in the top 16! !

Before this game, the major media were very concerned about this Spanish civil war, but most of them were on the side of Atletico Madrid, thinking that Atletico Madrid would defeat Real Zaragoza to advance to the top 16 of this season's UEFA Cup.However, there are also a small number of people who are on the side of Real Zaragoza. They think that Real Zaragoza still has a good chance. After all, in the first round of the two teams, Xu Zhou and Lucin were both suspended and could not participate in this game, so this game is definitely not a reflection of the strength of the two teams.

Before the game, the two teams didn't say a word about the game, and they all focused on training one after another. It seems that both teams attach great importance to this game.Moreover, this is a Spanish civil war. The head coaches of the two teams did not start a war of words before the game like other head coaches. The two teams are relatively calm!

On February 2008, 2, Real Zaragoza's home stadium, La Romareda, was packed with Real Zaragoza fans early on. It was really cool to watch the UEFA Cup game at their home stadium.And they performed very well in the UEFA Cup this game. They believe that their team will defeat Atletico Madrid and advance to the top 15 of the UEFA Cup! !

The players from both sides also went to the infield to warm up early, while their head coach was making final preparations in the locker room.The commentators and fans at the scene were equally excited. This was a Spanish civil war. No one thought that the Spanish teams would meet so early. Before that, there were still many fans fantasizing about the Spanish team winning the top four of the UEFA Cup! !Obviously this is wishful thinking! !
