Hamburg President Hoffmann naturally would not have joined the team to visit the Bernabeu, and the Champions League semi-finals are definitely the focus of global attention!

Real Madrid President Florentino, whether out of courtesy or in order to establish a good relationship with Hamburg, would invite Hoffman to the chairman's box to watch the game together.

But it feels a bit awkward to sit together. Florentino has a long face and seems to be full of worries, while Hoffman is like a curious baby who always looks around with a relaxed look on his face.

Hoffman has no ideological burden. As the coach of Hamburg, it is already a very glorious moment to watch his team compete in the Champions League semi-finals at the Bernabeu.

He is very content. Hamburg has just completed the league defense and is now rushing to the Champions League final. Even if he falls in Real Madrid, he has no regrets.

Especially since the club has saved a lot of money in the past two years, investors can't spend money. Not only does life be comfortable, but also respected. To put it bluntly, the boss or chairman of any club in European football will give him a three-point margin. For nothing else, just to establish a good relationship with Hamburg and can do some business in the future.

As for whether Florentino's heart has been in his heart, there is no way to know. He has been in Real Madrid for almost three years. The honor the team has won is nothing more than a Copa del Rey. This year, he can break Barcelona's monopoly against the league, which is a result that can barely explain to fans.

Last year, the Champions League ended its embarrassing record of 16 Rons in the Champions League for many years, but unfortunately it stopped in the semi-finals and reached the semi-finals this year, which can also be regarded as a return to Real Madrid's image as a top-notch team in the European game.

It is not necessary to win the championship to be considered a top-level team. Just like 10 years ago, people always said that the Premier League is strong, because for many years, the Premier League teams can occupy at least two places in the semi-finals and at least three places in the quarterfinals. The only Premier League teams that can win the championship are Manchester United and Liverpool in 2005.

Real Madrid emerged from the shadow of the Champions League round of 16, which is a good sign.

But what bothered Florentino was that Situ Yunbing exposes the emperor's new clothes. Mourinho's rule of this Real Madrid is not his most ideal, just as Abu's expectations for Chelsea were beautiful football from the beginning, but almost ten years have passed, and Chelsea still has more iron and gorgeousness.

Real Madrid's aristocratic style is greatly reduced compared to its heyday, which has almost become a heart-wrenching problem for Florentino. However, in the current situation, Real Madrid, which needs the most record and is second to its image, Mourinho is currently the best choice for the team, because no coach in European football dares to make guarantees. He can be both gorgeous in style and defeat Barcelona. To put it bluntly, compared to the strength of offensive football, who can do better than Barcelona?

Competing with similar styles, no one is a match for Barcelona.

When the players of both teams entered the court, Hoffman finally stopped looking around and sorted out his suit and sat down at the stadium with his straight face.

Florentino swept over Hamburg's starting lineup, not to mention that at least half of the players he liked very much.

There are many people who meet the requirements of Real Madrid's team building in terms of image and temperament. Fewer abilities may meet the standards, but they are better at young age and can be polished slowly.

He was already thinking about having a good talk with Hoffman after the game.

When the starters of the two teams stood in line on the court for the kickoff ceremony, Situ Yunbing's eyes kept staring at Real Madrid's starter Pepe. When the opponent noticed him, Situ Yunbing smiled disdainfully at him.

Pepe immediately burst into anger, but was suppressed by himself.

Perhaps after experiencing too many provocations similar to fans, players have become numb and can be calm in their mood, but it is rare to face provocations from opponent coaches.

Especially when the other party publicly criticizes you for nothing.

Mourinho did not notice this detail and waited for the start of the game with a serious expression.

"Good evening for all the audience. Welcome to the focus battle in the first leg of the 2011-2012 European Champions League semi-finals. Real Madrid sits at home at the Bernabeu Stadium to face Hamburg from the Bundesliga!

Four days ago, Hamburg had just announced that it had successfully defended its title in three rounds in advance, and they could devote themselves to the Champions League.

On the other hand, Real Madrid has no room to relax in multi-line battles this season. Although their opponent Barcelona, ​​as the defending champion, performed slightly worse than last season, it also brought great pressure to Real Madrid.

As of the end of the 34th round of La Liga, Real Madrid has scored a terrifying 88 points, but only 4 points ahead of Barcelona!

With four rounds left in La Liga, it is still full of suspense whether Real Madrid can break Barcelona's dominance against the league.

Against this background, they met Hamburg in the Champions League semi-finals. From the perspective of pressure, Hamburg must have certain advantages.

Real Madrid's Champions League journey this season is smooth, and Hamburg's performance is the same, but Hamburg has suffered even greater challenges. As the fourth team, Hamburg had two conversations with defending champion Barcelona in the group stage. They unexpectedly achieved an advantageous record of one win and one draw, thus laying the foundation for qualifying for the top spot in the group.

In the knockout round, Hamburg won four consecutive games, defeating Monaco and Bayern Munich at home and away, and can be said to be the best team among the semi-finals.

But if they are favorites to win the championship, they may also need to see if they can pass the Real Madrid level!

It is worth mentioning that the coaches of the two teams Situ Yunbing and Mourinho had a confrontation in the Champions League final two years ago. That final was also held at the Bernabeu today. In the end, Monaco defeated Inter Milan 2:1 and won the Champions League championship trophy. Situ Yunbing also became a recognized top coach in European football after that game!

After the fight again two years later, the two seemed to have no joy of reunion, only sudden increase in contradictions and hatred. Situ Yunbing took the initiative to make a series of negative comments on Real Madrid before the game, while Mourinho made a contemptuous fight back!

I don’t know who will win this battle between famous coaches!

The starting lineup of both sides is introduced below.

Real Madrid, who is at home, started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Aberoa, Ramos, Pepe, Cointran.

Midfielder: Khdira, Ozil, Alonso.

Forwards: Di Maria, Benzema, Ronaldo.

Due to Marcelo's injury, Mourinho had to use Cointran in this game. In addition, Real Madrid's troops were basically not unexpected.

Hamburg started 442 away today.

Goalkeeper: Navas.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Boateng, Matuidi.

Midfielders: De Bruyne, Demer, Kante, Rakitic.

Forward: Griezmann, Reus.

Hamburg still maintains a rigorous style in the Champions League and attaches great importance to defense and midfield control.

Since Real Madrid's defensive counterattacks account for a very high proportion of goals this season, Hamburg also uses defensive counterattacks in the Champions League. Perhaps today both teams will use defensive counterattacks to curb each other!

In that case, the game may become a bit boring.

Hopefully this won't be the case!

Well, the pre-match tee has been completed, let’s look forward to the two teams being able to contribute a classic battle to all the audience!”

With the referee's whistle, the game officially kicked off.

At the beginning of the game, Hamburg took a tight defensive attitude, and it depends on what choice Real Madrid made!

Real Madrid played a defensive counterattack for a season and was almost invincible!

But it is probably not so easy to break the fortress of Hamburg in the tough battle.

And at the Champions League semi-final level, does Mourinho allow the team to reduce its defense and take the initiative to attack?

Situ Yunbing still planned to use quiet to beat the back.

Real Madrid's positional battles have little investment in offense, only three forwards and one midfield engine Ozil.

C Ronaldo was caught in the cross-bow of De Bruyne and Azpilicueta after receiving the left side of the frontcourt. He beautifully chopped the ball behind him and changed direction to pass through to get rid of it. However, after seeing Kante, he decisively knocked the ball back to Ozil, who made a diagonal pass and transferred the attack to the right side of the frontcourt.

Di Maria turned into the inward cutting track and pulled the ball back as soon as she stopped the ball. After adjusting on the spot, she hanged the ball into the penalty area.

Benzema lost to Boateng in a scramble for a high altitude ball, who easily headed the ball to clear the ball.

Rakitic controls the ball in the backcourt near the middle, Real Madrid's defense line in the middle is tight, Alonso and Khdira maintain close contact, Ozil, Di Maria, Ronaldo, and Benzema also quickly retreated to participate in the counter-attack!

Seeing this group of big-name stars participating in defense and willing to put down their figure and do dirty work, it is difficult for Real Madrid to fail to think of results!

If it were ordinary teams, they would really have no choice but to do anything to them, but Hamburg has experienced strong storms and they also have strong strength.

When Rakitic passed the ball directly to the right side of the frontcourt, Griezmann knocked the ball back to De Bruyne who was inserted under the pressure of Coentron's pressing, and then quickly turned and quickly stepped forward and quickly stepped forward.

When Griezmann stepped forward, he and Reus completed crossover. When De Bruyne sent the ball to the right in front of the penalty area, Alonso had not yet returned to defense. He had been actively attacking in positional battles. Of course, the midfielder could not be dragged behind and he was bound to respond forward.

And Hamburg's counterattack speed is also as fast as lightning!

After Reus stopped the ball and adjusted his goal, he took a long shot from three meters in front of him without waiting for Pepe to grab it!

The ball was a bit straight. Casillas moved a step and lowered the center of gravity and hugged the ball. The Real Madrid goal was not tested.
Chapter completed!
