Chapter 976 Messi II
Messi II!
When the 28th round of La Liga league was over, the entire European football world was shocked by the unpopularity at the Bernabeu.
But what amazes people the most is Eden Hazard's wonderful performance.
Although Chinatown had an advantage in ball control throughout the game, it did not take many shots. Hazard became one of the few highlights of Chinatown on the court, playing a key role in both goals, especially the last goal, the one-on-four scene was even more amazing.
Marca posted this eye-catching title on the front page headline. Javier Matayana personally wrote an article praising Hazard's outstanding performance in this game, and also affirming the progress and maturity of the Belgians since the season, believing that he has become an indispensable core player in Chinatown.
"After Michu went to England, James Rodriguez turned to Real Madrid, and the two central defenders Otamendi and Aldeveldelauyan split, Chinatown's overall strength declined very significantly, but at the critical moment, Hazard took the lead in the team and became a crucial core figure of the team."
In the column, Matayana said that he received news from Chinatown, whether it was the club or the coaching staff, he clearly positioned Hazard as the most important core player and an indispensable member of the team.
"According to the news I received, the management of Chinatown has begun to vaguely realize that the 100 million euro termination fee may no longer be able to retain Hazard, especially after the Bernabeu game, news came soon, including Florentino and many members of the board of directors, who were amazed at Hazard and believed that he would be Real Madrid's Messi."
"Chinatown has begun to prepare to renew the contract with Hazard. In addition to the salary increase, it will also increase the amount of liquidated damages to an astonishing 200 million euros, which also declares that Chinatown will never be too strict with Hazard."
In addition to Hazard, Miranda and Godin, the central defenders, were the most praised players after the game.
After Otamendi and Aldevelde left the team, the outside world once doubted Chinatown's defense, especially at the beginning of the season, but the two central defenders Miranda and Godin quickly proved themselves with their strength, and as the season deepened, they played more and more tacitly.
This pair of central defenders is known as the second hero of Chinatown to reverse Real Madrid in this game, second only to Hazard, who was elected the best player in the game. His overall strength has been unanimously recognized by everyone.
"This summer, Chinatown sold four core players in one go, losing the entire central axis. In addition, veteran Marcos Senna's decline in form has made everyone extremely pessimistic about Chinatown's prospects, and even once thought that Chinatown would probably end this season with relegation."
"But half a year later, we looked at Chinatown again and found that this magical team not only reached the final of the Copa del Rey, but also reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but also chased the La Liga rankings."
"After this round of La Liga, Chinatown ranked fifth in La Liga with 46 points, but Valencia, which is fourth in La Liga. If the Bats are not careful, they may be overtaken by Chinatown and fall out of the Champions League."
"There are many reasons for Chinatown's rapid performance. The ability to sign as outstanding as ever should be put first."
"Cantarero's technical department is well-known in European football in selecting players and sculpting players. Pelle, Godin and Miranda, introduced this summer, have shown quite high standards, especially in the central defender position. The strength shown by the two new players is not inferior to last season, and the team's defensive strength has not declined but increased."
"On the offensive end, Pelle is not as eye-catching as Michu, but has a huge tactical effect. Aubameyang, Rakitic and Hazard performed sharply this season, with the number of goals increasing sharply, which is inseparable from Pelle's joining, especially Hazard, who has become the soul of Chinatown's frontcourt offensive in one fell swoop."
"In addition to the main lineup, Chinatown has also produced many youth training talents this season. Morata, De Bruyne and Firmino are important substitutes for the team. The talented rookie Hesse, who shined in the youth team, has also made a debut in the first team."
"Isco in the midfield is the gold medal substitute, and Cork, Verati and Pogba have also played one after another. The central defender position on the defense line has reserved two players, Varane and Devrey. Danilo and Alex Sandro are important rotation players on the left and right sides. The talent reserves of the entire defense line of Chinatown have shown an expected level."
"Cantarero is undoubtedly one of the technical directors who knows the most about football in today's football. The talent reserves he has formulated for Chinatown and the growth plans of young players are quite reasonable. This has helped the young players in the team mature and progress step by step. This has enabled Chinatown to quickly have young players in the team to emerge every time they sell their star in the past few years."
"The most typical one is Ilia La Mendi. With the help of Marcos Senna, this Spanish local midfielder has completely gained a foothold in the main lineup, and his performance is becoming more and more popular, and has even attracted the attention of the national team head coach Boske, who intends to bring the 22-year-old young midfielder to the national team."
Matayana also attributed the team's ability to make a comeback in the second half to the management led by Armando Marcos and Cantalero, who believed that they were patient with Pochettino, which led to a strong recovery in Chinatown.
But compared to Maca's praise of Chinatown, Ass posted the complaints of Real Madrid coach Mourinho on the front page, and the Portuguese madman publicly bombarded the referee at a post-match press conference.
"I'm not going to criticize the referee of this game, but he did make a decision that was against us in two penalty fouls and made a serious mistake that left us unable to win the game."
The Portuguese madman also pointed his finger at the assistant referee, believing that the lineman's law enforcement was also problematic. At least two times when Real Madrid players formed a single shot, they made offside decisions, which was an obvious mistake.
As for the game itself, Mourinho's statement of the loss was not surprising.
"Chinatown is a very powerful team. Don't forget that they reached the Champions League quarterfinals and the King's Cup final, currently ranked fifth in La Liga. Their strength is not weak. I don't know why everyone always treats them as a weak team. This is simply a prejudice."
"Chinatown is very tenacious, making it difficult for us to get into the rhythm of the game, so the game was very difficult and it was a pity to lose the game in the end, but my players have tried their best and none of them should be criticized for this."
"I think it's normal for losing one after winning so many games. If we lose the game because of a misbehavior, underestimating the enemy or being lazy, I'll definitely get furious, but we all tried our best to lose to Chinatown, I don't think there's anything to complain about."

After playing Real Madrid, Chinatown quickly ushered in the 29th round of La Liga.
Vallecano was welcomed at home, and Pochettino's team continued to fail to start well. Central defender Varane, who replaced Miranda, gave the opponent a penalty kick in just five minutes of the game.
But before the end of the first half, Rakitic assisted Pelle to score a goal.
After the start of the second half, Chinatown continued to counterattack, and it was another assist from Rakitic, allowing Pelle to win another goal and score twice to reverse the score.
After that, the game completely entered the rhythm of Chinatown. Isco and Aubameyang, who came on the bench, scored goals one after another. In the end, Chinatown defeated Vallecano four-two at home and scored three points again.
The good news is that the Bats scored just eight minutes into the game, but Zaragoza scored two goals in a row and lost one-two at home.
After this round of battle, Chinatown surpassed Valencia's forty-seven points with a score of 49 points, and returned to the top four in La Liga this season for the first time.
This news quickly ignited the Spanish football world, shocking the whole European football world.
After selling four core backbone players this summer, Chinatown actually relied on internal excavation and powerful signings to return to the top four in the league. This is simply unbelievable.
You should know that Chinatown's net income in the transfer market this summer exceeded 200 million euros.
So where did the money go?
On the weekend, Chinatown went to Barcelona to challenge Espanyol away.
Since Chinatown is going to challenge Barcelona away from home in the middle of the week, Chinatown has been away from Barcelona for two consecutive away games, so this round of the league is also known as the preview of the first leg knockout match of the Champions League quarterfinals in the middle of the week.
But what is amazing is that Pochettino's team still failed to play the first half.
Brazilian young player Coutinho, who came on loan from Inter Milan this season, scored the first record for Espanyol in the 24th minute of the first half. After that, both sides played in a very stalemate until the 76th minute of the second half, Isco assisted Morata, who came on the bench, scored a goal and tied the score.
In the 78th minute, De Bruyne assisted Aubameyang to score the second goal, helping the team turn the defeat into victory.
The unlucky Valencia challenged Getafe away. After Soldado scored the first goal in the fifth minute, he conceded three goals in just fifteen minutes. The Bats defeated Madrid one-to-three away.
After this round of battle, Chinatown won 52 points, ranking fourth in La Liga, while Valencia was still 47 points, five points behind Chinatown. Levante also began to show fatigue and only got 44 points. Chinatown has gained a firm foothold in the top four.
In the championship battle, Real Madrid lost to Chinatown and drew with Villarreal, losing five points in two consecutive rounds. Although he defeated Real Sociedad five-to-one in this round, Barcelona won consecutively and successfully chased the gap to five points.
With eight rounds left in La Liga, the five-point gap is no longer irreversible.
After playing the 30th round of La Liga, Chinatown went to the Camp Nou Stadium with all its main lineups in the middle of the week.
In the last three rounds of the league, Chinatown has no exception. They have lost the ball first and tied. They always performed very poorly in the first half, but they chased them all the way in the second half. Pochettino also felt helpless about the team's performance and repeatedly reminded the players that they must pay close attention to playing Barcelona away, because Barcelona is not other ordinary teams.
But what is disappointing is that when visiting the Camp Nou Stadium, Chinatown started the game again with a bad start.
First Ibrahimovic assisted Busquets to score a goal, then Messi assisted Iniesta to score a goal. At the end of the first half, Chinatown fell behind 0-2 away and was almost sentenced to death.
