Chapter 274 Bundesliga ending, Hamburg’s dominance!(1/3)
Round 33 of the Bundesliga.
Since Hamburg won the championship two rounds in advance, the championship lost its suspense, but the battle for relegation and the top four in the league is still fierce.
In the relegation zone, Braunschweig, which is first from last, has been relegated early, and Nuremberg, which is second from last, is 6 points behind Stuttgart, which is third from last, and has a goal difference of 17 points less. It is basically hopeless.
.
Therefore, the remaining teams still in the relegation zone have to "compete" for the last, which is the third-to-last spot.
Although it is said that the third from bottom will have to play a play-off with the third Bundesliga to decide whether it can stay in the Bundesliga, but who dares to take this risk?
Of course, get ashore as soon as you can!
Then it became lively here.
Stuttgart is ranked 16th in the standings with 32 points, and just above it, there are four teams with 36 points, namely Frankfurt, Freiburg, Hannover 96, and Werder Bremen.
p>
In other words, these five teams all have a chance to qualify for the relegation play-offs.
Even though the other four teams are 4 points higher than Stuttgart, there are still two games left. With such fierce competition, anything can happen.
For example, in Frankfurt, where he first played, he lost 0:2 at home to Leverkusen!
Then Freiburg also lost to Schalke 04 by the same score.
Although these relegation teams have high fighting spirit, their opponents are all teams that are working hard to qualify for the European competition. They not only have fighting spirit, but also have stronger combat effectiveness!
But the last game of this round brought an early end to this season's relegation battle.
Stuttgart lost to Wolfsburg 1:2, and this result also locked them in the third-to-last position.
In these head-to-head confrontations between the relegation teams and the European teams, the European teams achieved a comprehensive victory!
After all, they are still the stronger side.
With this key victory, Schalke 04 also continued to maintain a 3-point advantage over Leverkusen and ranked fourth. As long as they do not lose in the final round, they can qualify for the Champions League qualifying rounds next season.
p>
If all goes well, they will join Hamburg, Bayern Munich and Dortmund in the Champions League next season.
There is a high probability that Leverkusen will participate in the Europa League next season with Wolfsburg.
……
Hamburg will face Bayern Munich at home in this round.
This should have been a decisive battle for the Bundesliga championship that attracted the attention of thousands of people, but now it has been reduced to a "friendly match".
Since this will be Hamburg's last home game of the season, before the game started, the German Football Association also held a formal awards ceremony for Hamburg at the People's Park Stadium.
Hamburg's captain Westermann took the stage on behalf of the team to receive the Bundesliga championship trophy.
All Hamburg fans in the audience cheered for him, and the atmosphere in the stadium was warm yet restrained.
After all, they have already celebrated once, and everyone has heard what Pan Yi said, they will not start the real celebration until they win the Triple Crown!
Before the game officially started, both sides were in harmony.
Bayern Munich's head coach Guardiola had already "admitted defeat". When he came to the People's Park Stadium today, he grabbed Pan Yi and the two sides had another long cordial conversation.
In this conversation, Guardiola was talking most of the time, while Pan Yi just listened with a smile.
Conversations include but are not limited to:
"I watched the two games you played against Atletico Madrid. You seemed to have used my advice to play in the first game, but what can I say about the second game? I really didn't expect you to do such a good defensive counterattack.
Better than Simeone!"
"Aren't you going to fight Klopp again in the German Cup final? How are you going to fight? You don't need me to help you this time. I think you already have an idea in mind!"
"Actually, I prefer to play against a team like Dortmund, just attack each other. You should teach me how to deal with a strong team that focuses on defense sometime, right? It's really difficult to face such a team.
It’s such a headache.”
"You're talking about the two games we played against Real Madrid? Well, don't mention it, I was blown away by An Pang... Their BBC combination is indeed too strong! And their counterattack is sharper than Atletico Madrid!"
"By the way, do you want to get first-hand information about Real Madrid? I can give it to you, but you have to treat me to a good meal again. As promised, we can't go to any ramen restaurants anymore!..."
p>
The two head coaches are like this, and the players of the two teams are harmonious on the court.
Hamburg has already won the championship ahead of schedule. Sun Xingmin and De Bruyne are also absent due to injuries. Pan Yi sent a lineup mainly composed of rotating players.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, has no intention of playing after losing on all three fronts, and has brought in many young players for training.
For example, Lucas Ryder, Mitchell Wiesel, Hoyinbjerg, etc.
The two sides ended up in a draw, with Westerman and Shaqiri scoring one goal each for their teams.
……
Valencia Mestalla Stadium.
Held here tonight is the final of the 2013-2014 Spanish Copa del Rey.
The two sides facing each other are Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is another Spanish national derby!
Before this game, in the official El Clasico match, Real Madrid and Barcelona faced off 226 times, with Real Madrid having the upper hand with 90 wins, 48 draws and 88 losses;
If informal games are included, El Clasico has been played a total of 259 times, with Real Madrid at a disadvantage with 94 wins, 58 draws and 107 losses.
But in general, it can still be described in one word: equally matched!
Judging from the results this season, the two teams have also formed a tendency to pull each other apart.
Their current rankings in the league are second and third respectively.
Ranked first is none other than Atletico Madrid, which was just eliminated by Hamburg in the Champions League semifinals!
After 37 rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid no longer has any hope of winning the championship. They are already 5 points behind Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona is 3 points behind Atletico Madrid, but they still have a chance.
Because in the last round, the two teams will face off head-to-head. If Barcelona can defeat Atletico Madrid, it can still come back and win the championship!
It can be said that the last round is the final of this season's La Liga, and Barcelona is one of the finalists.
As for Real Madrid, although there is no hope for the league, they are unstoppable in the Champions League semi-finals, sweeping Bayern Munich with a total score of 5:0. They also reached the final and have great hopes of winning the championship.
Barcelona can't do it in the Champions League.
They were suppressed by Hamburg in the group stage, and were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain after qualifying. They didn't even make it to the quarterfinals.
Therefore, the two teams have reached the finals of two major competitions, and now they are going to face each other head-on in the King's Cup final. You can imagine how much they want to win against their opponents.
But neither side could field their strongest lineup in this game.
On Real Madrid's side, Cristiano Ronaldo had a slight injury. To be on the safe side, Ancelotti asked the Portuguese superstar to rest in the stands.
On Barcelona's side, Pique is absent due to injury, and Pinto is still used as the goalkeeper.
But after all, both teams are the world's top clubs, and their lineups are still star-studded.
Both teams have adopted the current "standard formation for giants", the 433 formation.
Real Madrid:
Forwards: Insko, Benzema, Bale.
Midfielder: Alonso, Di Maria, Modric.
Defenders: Coentrao, Ramos, Pepe, Nacho.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Barcelona:
Forwards: Neymar, Cesc Fabregas, Messi.
Midfielder: Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta.
Defenders: Alba, Bartra, Mascherano, Alves.
Goalkeeper: Pinto.
After the opening, Barcelona had a certain psychological advantage because they defeated Real Madrid 2:1 and 4:3 in the two league games this season, so they attacked more intensely.
But Real Madrid was not to be outdone at all. They also regarded this game as a battle to avenge their league defeat, so they played particularly hard.
The two sides immediately started a fierce fight, with constant collisions.
After all, it is a Spanish El Clasico, there is no testing at all!
Only 3 minutes into the game, Yinsko kicked Neymar down and received a yellow card.
2 minutes later, Yinske made a direct pass, and Bell broke into the penalty area with his left rib and shot with his left foot and missed the far post.
Then Benzema passed the ball and Bell's right-footed shot from 11 meters was resolved.
In the face of Barcelona's passing and control, Real Madrid's defensive counterattack formation today seems more threatening!
To be continued...
