234. The hope of the whole village

"He's okay with the ball, he seems to be very fast. Don't say it, you mentioned Messi just now, in terms of cadence, he and Messi are indeed somewhat similar, but his height is much taller than Messi......"

Domenic struggled to recall his impressions of watching Chu Ge play.

"I checked the player's profile before the game. He scored eighteen goals in the first half of Serie A and remains second in the scorers' charts, just behind Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain, who has scored 24 goals. ”

"Inter Milan's first half match against Roma was on October 31, in the 11th round of Serie A. Inter Milan won 3-1 at home at the time, and Chu scored two goals and provided an assist, putting in an excellent performance. It was Nainggolan who scored for Roma at the time, and the manager was Rudy Garcia. ”

Then in December, he beat Anthony Martial and Koeman to become the winner of this year's European Golden Boy Award.

'However, since arriving at Real Madrid, the player has played every game, which is not bad statistically, but so far he has not played a full game of Real Madrid.

"My personal opinion is that maybe Real Madrid is still evaluating his ability, or maybe Zidane is not very comfortable with him."

"He was really good at Inter Milan, but many experts have analysed that the player's outstanding performance is partly due to his own ability, and on the other hand, it is also related to Mancini's tactics around him alone, and the opponent's unfamiliarity with his characteristics."

"Considering that he is only seventeen years old, Chu is indeed a genius. But if he is at the top level, he can be compared to players like Higuain, but not necessarily. ”

"Maybe he's going to be at the level of Higuain in the future, maybe higher? But, at least not yet. ”

"After the transfer to Real Madrid, Real Madrid no longer formulates the tactics of the whole team for him alone, and he competes with players of the level of Ronaldo, Bale, Hames and Isco, so it is inevitable that his playing time is not fixed. Under the aura of those star players, he is not as shining as he did during the Inter period. ”

"Coming back to our game against Real Madrid, if we want to focus on defense, we must pay attention to Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Luka Modric, Isco and other players."

"Especially Isco. After Zinedine Zidane took over, Isco took on many attacking tasks and basically became a regular starter for Real Madrid. As for the number five, he may not even be able to start this game. ”

Domenich gave Spalletti detailed advice from his point of view.

Spalletti listened intently.

"Okay, I get a little bit of that. Thank you for your hard work. ”

……

"Cristiano Ronaldo is coming, defending the Olympics!" Roma Sport

As the tournament approaches, the Italian media is starting to warm up for this high-profile event.

In media reports, Ronaldo's name is most often mentioned.

Chu Ge is also mentioned, but just like Domenich said. Although he has the experience of dominating the Apennines, he is still a little less famous than his teammates in Real Madrid.

On the contrary, it was the fans of Inter Milan who were more impressed by Chu Ge.

After Chu Ge left Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri habitually collapsed. Their most recent games can be summed up as Xiucai moving, all books (losing).

In the most recent league game, Inter Milan lost 1:2 away to Fiorentina, and was beaten by the Purple Lilies in a single season, and the league ranking slipped all the way from first to fourth place now, as many as nine points behind Juventus at the top of the standings.

This makes Inter Milan fans miss Chu Ge immensely when he was still in the team.

In fact, Inter Milan has collapsed during the winter break not once or twice. Even if Chu Ge is still there, it will be difficult to recover the team's decline.

In the final analysis, it is the team's own strength that is flawed.

It is unrealistic to expect seventeen-year-old Chu Ge to turn the tide alone.

Chu Ge's transfer left Inter Milan with more than 50 million euros.

Using these funds to slowly check and fill in the gaps, be more patient with the team, and find a more reliable owner, Inter Milan can really reverse the decline, get closer to the old level little by little, and return to their rightful position.

……

The Spanish media are also following the Champions League match.

"The chances of winning the league are slim and the Champions League is perhaps the most important criterion for clubs to judge Zidane's managerial achievements."

Before the game, many media outlets made statements like this.

For a club of Real Madrid's level, a season without any titles is a losing season.

It was for this reason that Ancelotti was swept away by Florentino.

In this season's Copa del Rey, Real Madrid has been ruled out because of a farce. And the league championship is just like the media analyzed, and there is really little hope of a reversal. The only hope for the UEFA Champions League is the only hope for the whole village of Real Madrid.

However, as the top competition in world football, it is too difficult to win the Champions League.

Even pro-Real Madrid media such as "Marca" and "As" did not dare to blow the conch, claiming that Real Madrid could win the championship.

So, let's set a small goal for the team first.

For example, knock out Roma first.

If Roma can't win, Zidane can probably get out of class.

The pressure of the game began to reach Zidane's shoulders.

……

Baldebebas.

Real Madrid's first-team training ground.

The starters in the last La Liga game all trained indoors, with low-intensity recovery training in the gym and some physiotherapy.

Of the starters against Athletic Bilbao, Kroos was the only one who went to the training ground, with the German midfielder stretching and jogging on the pitch.

Marcelo and Gareth Bale are still out injured, while centre-back Pepe was expected to make a comeback in this Champions League game, but his plantar fasciitis has not recovered.

"The other side has also won four consecutive league games...... I'll you...... Is it really enough for Shui Ye to take a top student? ”

"The centre-backs are fine, but what about the full-backs? Is Nacho on, or Vázquez? ”

Seeing the team's current lineup, Real Madrid fans can't help but pinch a cold sweat for their team.

On 16 February, before leaving for Rome, Real Madrid held a pre-match press conference in the club's media centre.

Unlike the league, the most eye-catching position on the background wall of this press conference is the openwork football logo of the UEFA Champions League, and the foreign media attending the press conference is also much more than the average La Liga.

As is customary, head coach Zinedine Zidane brought a Real Madrid player to the press conference.

Journalists had expected the player to be Cristiano Ronaldo.

Outcome.

It's Chu Ge.
