looked at Chu Ge.

Fans feel as if they are experiencing first-hand the whole process of a genius who went from obscurity to blockbuster to fame and finally domination of football.

In the process, they can call him, support him, and discuss everything he has experienced at every step of his growth, as if they are involved in his growth process.

The moment this former nobody truly becomes an international superstar, the feeling of euphoria is unparalleled.

This process was experienced by some older fans when Messi and Ronaldo were still young rookies.

Now, they hope to do it again on Chu Ge's body.

But.

Being young represents a lot of room for growth, but also a lot of risks.

"Not all rookies grow into superstars."

After seeing Chu Ge's outstanding performance in the Champions League, Catalonia's media "Le Monde Sport" was somewhat sour.

They mentioned in the report that there has never been a shortage of talented players in world football, and some young people are not even under Chu Ge when they were talented.

But how many young people really cash in on their talents?

When Rooney debuted at Everton, many people thought that it was a rare genius in England in a century, an outstanding talent like Gascoigne and Best.

Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo played for Manchester United at the same time, and at the time, many thought Rooney's talent was superior.

Like Chu Ge, Rooney was also the winner of the European Golden Boy Award.

With his impressive performances at Euro 2004, the 19-year-old Rooney became the winner of the European Golden Boy Award.

That year he moved to Premier League giants Manchester United for £25 million and scored a hat-trick on his first appearance for the Reds.

Similar to Chu Ge, that game was also a Champions League.

At that time, Rooney seemed to have booked the future European Ballon d'Or, and his personal reputation was far from being comparable to that of the current British star Harry Kane.

At that time, Rooney's Manchester United teammate Ronaldo was still known as Little Luo, or Hua Luo, or some people called him Diving Luo.

Wayne Rooney was the European golden boy in 2004, while Ronaldo was nothing more than a silver boy.

The rest of the story is clear to everyone.

Cristiano Ronaldo became a football superstar, while Wayne Rooney didn't fully live up to his talent.

Also experiencing it is England's golden boy, Michael Owen.

Owen became a first-team member of England's most historic club, Liverpool, at the age of 17 and scored a first-team hat-trick at the age of 18 and became an absolute mainstay for Liverpool.

In 1997-98, the 18-year-old became the youngest Golden Boot in Premier League history and went on to become the league's top scorer a year later.

The 98 World Cup against Argentina was born, which made the reputation of "chasing the wind boy" go far and wide.

In 2001, at the age of 22, Owen beat Real Madrid's golden boy Raul and German goalkeeper Kahn to become the winner of the European Golden Ball Award, standing at the peak of personal honor.

However, the move to Real Madrid was a turning point in Owen's football career.

In the following years, after several twists and turns, under the influence of various factors such as injuries and illnesses, the aura of the young man chasing the wind was exhausted.

……

In world football, such examples are not uncommon.

Rooney and Owen have more or less cashed in on some of their talents.

Although the final achievement was not as high as one might expect, at least they all became top players.

The fate of most young geniuses is not so lucky.

Nasri, Ben Alpha, Ochoa, Gago, Anderson, Pato, Bella, Bojan, Balotelli......

A large number of players who made amazing debuts have not grown as people expected.

There are also some young people, such as "Seal Boy" Collon, "American Prodigy" Freddy Adu, Argentina's Cavinagui, former CM monster Simon Davis, Andriy Sipovesson, etc., if you are a slightly younger fan, you may not even have heard of their names.

Debut is the peak, and it may not be good when you are young.

Such examples are very common in international football.

Every year, there are many young talents who emerge in international football, but there are not many who always appear in people's eyes and eventually become top stars.

World Sports concluded, "Over the years, we have heard countless 'second Buffon', 'second Ronaldo', 'second Messi' and so on, but there is only one Buffon, there is only one Messi, and most of the young people who are called 'second xx' have disappeared. ”

"Chu scored a hat-trick in the Champions League at the age of 17, which is undoubtedly a very good result."

"But who knows what the future holds for him?"

'He might be a good player, but a great player isn't just talented.

……

After the battle between Real Madrid and Rome, Chu Ge's name suddenly became the focus of heated discussions in countless media.

Marca, As, and Le Monde Sport are just three of them.

Many well-known media, such as "Milan Sports Newspaper", "Rome Sports Newspaper", "Team Newspaper", "Bild Newspaper", "Argentine Ole Newspaper", "Globo Sports" (Brazil) and many other well-known media, have devoted a lot of space to introducing Chu Ge and making detailed special reports on him.

Through these media, Chu Ge's fame has risen again.

The most obvious benefit of the rise in fame is that for the first time, the number of people who support Chu Ge as a right winger starter in the latest issue of Marca newspaper has overwhelmed James.

More and more Real Madrid fans are beginning to hope that Chu Ge will get more opportunities to play in games.

Even at the cost of their favorite James having to be on the bench more.

(James: Real Madrid fans are big pigs!) ）

In fact, it was not Hames, and even Bale's position began to be threatened.

The same is true of Marca.

After giving the front page to Chu Ge, in other pages, the newspaper Marca also reported a rumor that was not very favorable to Bale.

"It is rumoured that the Real Madrid hierarchy is gradually starting to run out of patience due to Bale's ongoing injuries and long recuperation period. In fact, some of the hierarchy now believe that Bale's injury-prone physique looks like another Arjen Robben, whose career at Real Madrid ended due to health concerns, and this part of the hierarchy has begun to weigh up the option of selling the Welshman this summer. ”

Since Bale's arrival in 2013, the 26-year-old has gone down 11 times due to injury, playing just 8,620 minutes of 13,590 minutes, which equates to only 63 per cent of Real Madrid's first-team appearances.

And if you look at this season alone, it seems that Bale has played even less minutes, playing only 44% of the game time (2,880 minutes and 1,265 minutes in games).

Marca believes that considering Bale's transfer fee of 100 million euros and a total salary of 18 million euros, it can be said that Bale will cost the club 750,000 euros every time he plays.

And most importantly, Real Madrid's record shows that the team's results were not terribly bad in the absence of Bale due to injury, and only once did the team lose in Bale's absence due to injury, in the penultimate week of the 2013-14 La Liga season.

'Bale has not played in six games since suffering a soleus muscle injury in his last game at Sporting Gijón and all indications are that he will continue to miss this week's Real Madrid and Mallorca games and next weekend's local derby against Atletico Madrid.

"With Chu performing so well, Bale seems to have become dispensable in the minds of some of the club's hierarchy......

There are Real Madrid fans who commented under this news from Marca.

"(At the beginning) I thought it was the new Cristiano Ronaldo, but now I understand that it is the new Kaka."

'Bale came to Real Madrid from Tottenham with an injury and was rested for a while when he first arrived. I suspect that Florentino hid Bale's injury in order to sign him. ”

"Didn't Manchester United want to buy it for a long time? It's time to sell this summer. Now that he has Chu, Bell can sell it. Such an attendance rate cannot be raised, and it cannot be raised. ”

Of course, there are also fans who raise objections.

"Remember what happened after you sold Robben?"

"Don't forget the 2014 season, the Copa del Rey and Champions League finals!"

……

Due to Chu Ge's outstanding performance, coupled with Bale's frequent injuries, some people hope that Chu Ge will be directly on the throne, and some people are reluctant to give up the great sage, and the opinions of fans have begun to have some differences.

These different voices did not affect Chu Ge's mentality.

From the beginning of the media hype about his position competition with Hames, to the current discussion of Bale's whereabouts, in fact, it reflects Chu Ge's progress from one side.

More people began to recognize Chu Ge's strength, which led to these so-called position battles.

Being able to threaten Bale's main position is a compliment to Chu Ge's efforts at this stage.

However, Chu Ge didn't care about this.

In this match with Roma, he gained not only new records and fame, but also a lot of praise points.

In this game, Chu Ge received 15 million appreciation points.

That's more than three times as much as the average La Liga, close to four times as much!

And in the same game, there will be another one two weeks later, when Real Madrid hosts Roma.

If Chu Ge can compete in the second round, he can get praise points of about this magnitude.

And that's just the quarterfinals.

If Roma is eliminated and the quarter-finals are reached, the appreciation points of the game will be further greatly improved.

That's the beauty of the UEFA Champions League!

Participating in Serie A or La Liga for a whole year, Chu Ge's accumulated appreciation points are not enough to raise his S-level attribute to SS.

But with the stage of the Champions League, if Real Madrid can enter the final, Chu Ge even hopes to accumulate enough appreciation points before the final to improve one of his abilities to the SS level!

How can you not love the Champions League?
