Chapter 287 Now It's Our Turn to Defend the Dignity of Spanish Football
The second day after the end of the game, the whole of Spain was discussing Valencia's home game against Milan.
The Madrid media felt lost in the face of Valencia's results.
But they soon found a way to divert attention.
That's the hype about the Real Madrid-Monaco match.
In their view, Real Madrid defeated Monaco 4:2 at home in the first round, and the game lost its suspense.
Valencia's ability to reverse Milan doesn't mean Monaco will do either. Valencia has a star-studded team, as well as a world champion like Ronaldinho, plus a head coach who is good at creating miracles and often wins. It makes sense that they could.
What does Monaco have?
A bunch of dicks!
But when the night's game started, the optimistic Real Madrid supporters discovered that the script did not go according to their set!
Although the flag of Real Madrid, captain Raul Gonzalez opened the scoring for the team in the 36th minute of the game.
This seems to indicate that Real Madrid will easily run over Monaco and advance to the semi-finals.
After Porto, Chelsea and Valencia have successively qualified for promotion, Real Madrid has become the only seedling in the G14 club and the only seedling among traditional European giants.
In fact, they are not only defending the glory of Spanish football, they are defending their own glory, and they are also defending the glory of traditional giants.
This season's UEFA Champions League is an atypical UEFA Champions League.
The traditional giants either performed sluggishly or stumbled inexplicably. In the end, they were all out due to poor performance. However, many grassroots teams have risen.
Now there is only one team left to defend the dignity of the giants, Real Madrid.
Their performance at the beginning of this game also reflects the value and ability of the giants.
※※※
Giuly equalized for Monaco at the end of the first half.
The total score of the two sides battled to 5:3.
Real Madrid still has the advantage.
When the Real Madrid players finished the first half of the game and entered the locker room to rest, their expressions still looked very comfortable.
The lead of two goals made them think that there could be no suspense in this game.
They are not the same as Milan yesterday.
Yesterday's Milan was beaten by Valencia helplessly, but in fact, as long as they have an away goal, it will be fine. Unfortunately, they never scored.
This game was different, Real Madrid scored the goal from the start.
While Monaco had two away goals, Real Madrid only had one.
But there is still one half time, maybe Real Madrid can score three away goals?
Just when the Real Madrid players were dreaming, the second half had just started three minutes ago. Abandoned by Real Madrid, the center Morientes who rented Monaco scored the second goal of the game for Monaco. This goal also made the total score of the two sides become 5:4. Monaco is only one away from Real Madrid ball!
Morientes didn't celebrate after scoring, but Florentino's expression on the rostrum was definitely not good-looking.
Because Morientes is a player he has always disliked since he came to power, now that he has Ronaldo, he doesn't need Morientes even more.
Morientes who was abandoned by him. But he stabbed Monaco in the heart of his old club!
This goal completely ignited the hopes of the Monaco players. As long as another goal is scored, the total score will become 5:5! And Monaco will eliminate Real Madrid with the advantage of more away goals!
The prospect drove the Monaco players crazy.
When I think about how Valencia reversed Milan in yesterday's game when everyone was not optimistic about them, it cheered Monaco even more.
In the next game, Monaco's momentum was like a rainbow. No matter how you fight.
And what about Real Madrid?
There is more than enough energy. I really want to fight against Monaco, but I find that my physical fitness is exhausted.
In the 66th minute, Giuly gave Real Madrid a fatal blow. His brace finally made the total score 5:5!
Monaco has the advantage of more away goals!
With twenty-four minutes remaining, that's a lot of starting time. But Real Madrid's players can no longer run.
Real Madrid's physical problems, which Chang Sheng had repeatedly emphasized, finally broke out at this time. It became the last straw that crushed Real Madrid.
Although they know that losing this game with this score, they will be eliminated, and this season is very likely to face a situation where all four are empty.
They also can't get up to fight Monaco at all.
Queiroz stood on the sidelines, looking very anxious.
But what's the use of worrying now?
The physical breakdown was the bane planted at the beginning of the season, and it has nothing to do with now.
In the end, Real Madrid lost the game 1:3 in the away game. Monaco eliminated Real Madrid with the advantage of more away goals and entered the semi-finals of the Champions League.
After Valencia reversed and eliminated Milan the day before, Real Madrid also encountered the same situation. Monaco reversed and eliminated them!
Real Madrid's dream of the tenth Champions League trophy was shattered!
※※※
When Real Madrid was eliminated, the Madrid media wailed.
The Valencia media gloated.
"Now it's Valencia's turn to defend the dignity of Spanish football!" said the provincial newspaper bitterly.
Even so, the stubborn Florentino still insisted that he trusted Queiroz.
The media throughout Europe are surprised by the strange phenomenon in this season's Champions League.
All the traditional giants were eliminated without exception.
In the Champions League semi-finals, for the first time, four grassroots teams have advanced, and these four teams come from four completely different countries. Perhaps the most famous of these are Valencia, which has entered the Champions League final twice, and Chelsea, led by Ranieri.
The European media analyzed and analyzed. Don't know why this phenomenon is.
In fact, Chang Sheng didn't know why, but he knew that 2004 was a particularly evil year in European football. In the UEFA Champions League this year, there was a grassroots counterattack to win the championship. In the European Cup in Portugal in the summer, the Greek team also repeated this scene. They defeated the host Portugal and won the European Cup when they were completely unfavorable.
Perhaps this year is a year of change in European football?

Although there was still a league game with Zaragoza on the weekend, Chang Sheng still gave the team a day off after the game. The team completed such a great game at home. You should express what you say. So he gave the team a day off and told them to rest at home without training.
The players naturally welcomed this with both hands and feet.
After this fierce battle, they really need to rest.
Although it seemed that they won the game easily, and Milan was beaten helplessly, in fact, the Valencia players were in a very excited state from the beginning to the end, so in fact, the players were more aggressive than usual. It consumes more physical energy. more tired. It's just that their real experience was covered up by the extreme excitement and excitement at that time, and many players didn't feel tired until after the game.
If there is still training the next day, there may be new players added to Chang Sheng's injury list.
The team had a good day of relaxation and rest before returning to training on Thursday.
And according to the plan, the training intensity will not be too great. The first group should focus on post-match recovery training.
It's just that on this day, Chang Sheng's first thing to do is not to lead the team to train, but to trouble Soler.
Soler arrived at the chairman's office at the Patna Stadium training base at half past nine.
He is different from Ottie. He stays in the Sports City four days a week, and he also follows the team to watch the games live. He wants to show his influence as the chairman of the club wherever possible.
He prides himself on being a hard-working club president. It's completely different from Jaime Otti, the former chairman of the club who spends half his time on his own business and doesn't ask about it.
Therefore, Chang Sheng had the opportunity to find him before the team started training.

Dang Changsheng was carrying the examination report issued by the hospital. When he came to the club's administrative building, he was followed by a woman as soon as he entered the building.
The woman was the personal secretary of the club president Soler.
As if she had been instructed in advance, as soon as she saw Chang Sheng appearing in the administrative building, she took the initiative to greet him.
"Mr. Chang, what can I do for you?"
The beautiful secretary said to Chang Sheng very politely.
"Oh, I'm here to see Mr. Chairman." Chang Sheng said this politely, making it impossible to find fault.
The female secretary's answer also seemed very professional: "Do you have an appointment?"
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment. He thought he heard it wrong, so he asked, "What did you say?"
The female secretary continued to ask professionally: "Excuse me, have you made an appointment with Mr. Sorel before?"
Chang Sheng laughed when he heard this: "Is this the New Deal after Mr. Chairman came to power? The head coach of the team even made an appointment when he saw the club chairman?"
With a professional smile on her face, the female secretary shook her head at Chang Sheng and said, "If you don't have an appointment, then I'm sorry, Mr. Chang, I can't let you see Mr. Sorel... you must know that Mr. Sorel is very busy. , His daily schedule is very full, and he hates unplanned arrangements the most... So I'm sorry, Mr. Chang. If you want to see Mr. Soler, please make an appointment in advance, just make an appointment with me directly It's..."
Chang Sheng listened quietly to the secretary's arrangement, and gradually frowned.
The other party is not joking, but serious.
As the head coach of the Valencia team, I have to make an appointment to see the chairman of my club!
And this is something he had never heard of when Otti was in power before. Not only when Otti was in power, Chang Sheng felt that based on his understanding of world football, no club in the world had such weird regulations. The head coach of the team even had to make an appointment when he saw the chairman of his club!
So he ignored the chattering secretary and strode towards the stairs.
It's not that he doesn't know which room the club chairman's office is in.
The third floor, the fourth room from the left.
