As the second match day of the UEFA Champions League 14 finals came to an end, the media following the UEFA Champions League 14 finals focused their attention on the process and results of the game.
Valencia's 4-0 victory at home was not what most media expected before the game.
After all, there is a certain gap in strength between Tottenham and Valencia.
In addition, they have a serious lack of experience in the Champions League knockout rounds.
The team's overall performance must have had a huge impact, but losing four goals away from home was a bit surprising.
You must know that Tottenham's ability to advance to the quarterfinals is inseparable from the outstanding performance of Van der Vaart and Gareth Bale.
It is really puzzling to have such outstanding offensive players but cannot score a goal on the road.
This is also where the English media are dissatisfied.
The implication is that Tottenham can lose on the road, or even be defeated badly.
The only dissatisfaction is that they failed to score goals on the road.
However, this game was only mentioned briefly by the European mainstream media.
Only Valencia media and Chinese media reported in detail.
Valencia's four-goal victory at home means that they have basically passed the hurdle of Tottenham and entered the Champions League semi-finals. .
In other words, Valencia has entered the Champions League semi-finals again after four years in the 2006-2007 season.
Most of the media's attention was focused on Raul, the former flag of Real Madrid, who turned back and scored a goal at the Bernabeu Stadium, and the goal was scored in stoppage time.
In other words, if Raul did not score the goal, then Real Madrid will defeat Schalke 04 3:1 at home, which can be regarded as half a foot into this season's Champions League semi-finals.
It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of God.
Raul, a natural shooter, sent the ball into the Real Madrid goal with a subconscious shot in stoppage time.
With this obvious contrast, Marca severely criticized Real Madrid for being distracted at the end of the game, especially Sergio Ramos, who was promoted to vice-captain.
In the end, he didn't mark people tightly, which gave Raul plenty of space to shoot.
After the game, Mourinho also talked about the team's defensive issues at a regular press conference.
As the most defensive coach in the world, he would still be at home against a team of Schalke 04's level.
Conceding two goals was unacceptable to him.
Real Madrid's mouthpiece Aspen talked about their worries: "Real Madrid, which was sitting at the Bernabeu last night, failed to reach the Champions League semi-finals at home.
This will inevitably cause them to prepare for the game.
They will go to the famous Devil's home stadium this weekend.
Metz Stadium will be away from home again next week to challenge Schalke 04 at Schalke Stadium.
However, this is not the most difficult game for Real Madrid, because next weekend there will be a new round of Spanish El Clasico at the Bernabeu. , vs.
Barcelona at home” "This game is a must-win for Real Madrid, otherwise it will really miss the La Liga championship this season.
In addition, in the first half of the season, they lost 2:6 at Camp Nou.
If in the 32nd round If Barcelona cannot be beaten in the league, then Real Madrid’s face will be lost.”
Spanish newspapers El Pais and Marca both talked about the disadvantages of Real Madrid's schedule.
However, most of the Spanish media are in a very excited mood, because the two best teams in La Liga currently defeated their opponents at their respective home courts.
Although Real Madrid conceded two away goals at home, As long as they don't lose to Schalke 04 on the road, they will join hands with Valencia and Barcelona to advance to the Champions League semi-finals this season.
Despite this, the Catalan media Daily Sports still satirized Barcelona’s rival Real Madrid in its report that day: “In the Champions League quarter-finals, all Spanish teams performed very well, but only one of their own I think the team that is superior and extremely elegant is holding back.
Yes, they are the disgusting Real Madrid.
What makes it even more ridiculous is that the one who scored one of the goals was their former flag Raul."
"I think Florentino must have regretted it very much when Raul scored Schalke 04's second goal.
Last summer's decision was really ridiculous and generous.
It drove away the flag to satisfy outsiders.
In the world, the only football club is Real."
Such an impersonal club in Madrid” So when Florentino saw the Daily Sports newspaper, he had a rich expression on his face.
Just as the media was reporting on Real Madrid's 3-2 victory over Schalke 04 at home in the first leg of the Champions League 14 finals, Real Madrid coach Mourinho was rubbing his temples with the fingers of both hands.
With the failure to defeat Schalke 04 at home, Real Madrid's troubles will appear one after another.
Especially the schedule made him depressed.

This weekend on the 10th, we will visit the San Mames Stadium to challenge Athletic Bilbao.
Next week on the 14th, we will play the second leg of the Champions League 14 finals with Schalke 04 at the Schalke Stadium to compete for the Champions League.
A spot in the semi-finals.
On the 17th, they will play a home game with Barcelona that will affect the La Liga championship this season.
After playing for Barcelona, he could take a break, but thinking about the challenge to the league leader Valencia at the Mestalla on the 23rd, Mourinho felt that his first season at Real Madrid would be useless. receive
Fortunately, Valencia's schedule is more intensive than Real Madrid's.
Real Madrid has nearly a week's rest, but Valencia has to play a fierce Copa del Rey final with Barcelona in midweek.
Mourinho's eyes lit up when he thought of this If we can defeat Barcelona at home in the 32nd round and defeat Valencia away in the 33rd round, it is not impossible to win a crown.
Because according to this season's Champions League schedule, the away game against Valencia will be the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
A consecutive week of double matches will definitely cause Valencia players to lose energy and consume a lot of physical energy.
At that time, Real Madrid can take a break while Valencia plays the Copa del Rey final, use the gimmick of the 33rd round of El Clasico to confuse Valencia, and focus on the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Of course, Mourinho's plan also carries certain risks, and all success must be based on their ability to eliminate Schalke 04 in the second leg of the Champions League 14th final next week.
At this time, Guardiola also had a headache.
Following the 5:3 away defeat to Valencia, he had long given up hope for the team to defend the league championship.
After all, the seven-point gap faced this outstanding Barron team.
West Asia has huge difficulties.
But then again, both Valencia and Barcelona under the guidance of Guardiola have to endure a double match for a week, but Real Madrid got a chance to breathe when Barcelona and Valencia played in the King's Cup final.
Real Madrid will definitely have a certain advantage in the El Clasico at Mestalla before the first leg of the semi-finals.
With Ancelotti's cautious nature, he will definitely not fight Real Madrid at home.
After all, the Champions League is in the semi-finals, and he will definitely not focus on the league when he has a seven-point advantage.
In this case, Guardiola has more choices.
The five-goal victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 14 finals is equivalent to making the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 14 finals meaningless.
You can completely focus on the league.
As long as Valencia loses points in the league, then Barcelona still has a chance.
Defending the league title.
It's just that this chance is too small, and Aiello's competitive form this year has continued to be extremely good.
He has a hat-trick in the El Clasico and a hat-trick in the Champions League knockout rounds, and his feet are extremely hot.
His excellent form is enough to ensure that Valencia has a very high winning rate against weak teams in the league.
Therefore, Barcelona and Valencia's initiative to make mistakes is almost zero.
It is also too early and inappropriate to give up the league too early and focus entirely on the Champions League.
Overall, Mourinho and Guardiola have a lot of headaches If Ancelotti knew what Mourinho and Guardiola were thinking, he would definitely sing a song very cheaply: "I am smiling triumphantly, I am smiling triumphantly" Ancelotti is very satisfied with Valencia's victory over Tottenham at home.
The four-goal difference gives Valencia more options and can temporarily return to the league and Copa del Rey finals.
I have to say that the La Liga schedule this season is very slippery.
After the second leg of the Champions League 14th final is the El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and four days later is the Copa del Rey final, with Valencia facing Barcelona at Mestalla.
Three days later there was another El Clasico at the Mestalla Stadium, Valencia vs Real Madrid.
And there is no respite after the El Clasico, because the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals is approaching Continuous strong dialogue is a festival for fans, but for these strong teams, it is a kind of torture.
Various choices are difficult.
Over the weekend, Valencia welcomed the 31st league opponent of the 20102011 season at home, Villarreal from the same city.
This team was able to maintain extremely high combat effectiveness under the leadership of Pellegrini in the first two seasons, but this season with Pellegrini going to Malaga and core players being poached, the team's ability has deteriorated.
It has declined, but it still cannot be underestimated.
Ancelotti made some rotations in the team to give those players who finished the first leg of the Champions League 14 finals in midweek a chance to breathe.
Otherwise, when the Champions League semi-finals come, the team's lineup will become stretched. .
Before the start of the weekend's league, the attention of European mainstream media once again focused on the Western Premier League group Because after 30 rounds of La Liga, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 48 goals and Messi 47 goals.
Aiello, who holds the La Liga single-season scoring record, also scored 46 goals with six rounds less.
The three of them are only one drop away from Aiello's single-season scoring record set in the 2006-2007 season.

So the media began to speculate who would be the first to break Aiello's record:
