Chapter 883: Six Crowns
The next day's TV and newspapers were almost full of news about Atletico Madrid's victory in the Club World Cup and the creation of the "Six Crowns".
In 2009, Barcelona won an unprecedented six crowns, from the Copa del Rey, to the league, to the Champions League, the Spanish Super Cup, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
It was the first six-time championship in La Liga, and even the first six-crown in European football, before Ajax won all the titles they could, but only a five-time crown, and it was from Barcelona that they won the six-time crown, which is one more title for the La Liga giants, the Universe Team.
But today, just five years after Barcelona won the six-time title, Atletico Madrid, a team that could not be compared to Barcelona before, has also won the six-time title, and it is not worse than the title won by Barcelona.
New Cosmos Team? No, no one calls Barcelona that, because the world knows very well that in terms of individual ability, Atletico Madrid can't be compared with Barcelona, even with other giants.
It is precisely because of this that it is rare to see the "six crowns" of Atletico Madrid, and the role played by Lin Dong in Atletico Madrid's "six crowns".
In the Copa del Rey final, Lin Dong created the first hat trick in the history of the final when facing his old boss Real Madrid, and the first big four.
In the league, Lin Dong scored an incredible 60 goals, helping Atletico Madrid suppress Barcelona and Real Madrid and lock the championship early.
In the Champions Cup final, Lin Dong once again proved himself with a hat trick, and even in this game, Lin Dong not only scored a hat trick, but also scored a shocking goal at the last moment of the game, and Atletico Madrid became the second team to win the treble.
Subsequently, this summer, many European giants launched a crazy pursuit of Lin Dong, and even several giants directly paid 150 million termination fees.
However, what is surprising is that Lin Dong did not leave Atletico Madrid, Lin Dong rejected all the invitations of the giants and chose to re-sign a contract with Atletico Madrid.
At that time, perhaps no one would have thought that Lin Dong's eyes had been aimed at the new season and the next few championships.
Knowing that Lin Dong led Atletico Madrid to win the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup successively, people suddenly discovered that unconsciously, Atletico Madrid was so close to the six-time champion, only to find that Lin Dong had such ambitions.
Of course, outsiders don't know that Lin Dong's ambition is far more than that, in addition to the six crowns, one of the most important reasons for Lin Dong to keep Atletico Madrid is to suppress Ronaldo and Messi, he wants to become the best one in today's football, not one of them, so he must stay in Atletico Madrid, with facts.
One season is luck, but what about two? Even three seasons, it's a bit far to talk about three seasons, but now this second season is real, Lin Dong and his Atletico Madrid are still pressing Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Lin Dong, the most important member of the six crowns of Atletico Madrid, without Lin Dong, Atletico Madrid would not have won the Champions League and could not have won the six crowns.
Exaggeration? It's not an exaggeration at all, Lin Dong's performance is there, Lin Dong's goal data is there, in the whole world football, no one's data is better and more luxurious than Lin Dong.
The word "great" is now finally affordable by Lin Dong, because Atletico Madrid has a great season, Atletico Madrid has achieved a great "six crowns", and Lin Dong has a great performance.
In front of Atletico Madrid's great results and Lin Dong's great performance, the last three finalists for the Ballon d'Or were released, and there is no doubt that Lin Dong was among them.
And when this list came out, almost everyone decided that there was no suspense in this year's Ballon d'Or, because the other two who were selected in the end were Messi and Ronaldo, and the players of the World Cup winners did not enter the final three-person squad.
Prior to this, the German goalkeeper Neuer's voice was also quite high, and even many media coaxed that the annual Ballon d'Or should return to the winning team of the tournament.
But in the case of the last three-person list, this wish obviously has to be postponed, and with Lin Dong's relationship so far, almost everyone is shouting for the loss of suspense when this list comes out.
In fact, the performance of Ronaldo and Messi cannot be compared with Lin Dong at all, and even from last season to now, Ronaldo and Messi have been suppressed by Lin Dong, which is not only personal performance, but also reflected in the team's results.
Atletico Madrid is the new six-time champion, and in Atletico Madrid's six-time championship achievements, Lin Dong is the absolute core, and it is the biggest contributor to Atletico Madrid's results, and look at Ronaldo and Messi, the personal data was crushed by Lin Dong, and the team is not as good as Atletico Madrid, after all, Atletico Madrid's six crowns were obtained by stepping on the corpses of Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The next day, when Atletico walked out of the airport with the Club World Cup trophy, the cheers of tens of thousands of fans flooded the entire airport, and the honor of the six-time champion was enough to make any team crazy.
The Atletico players had apparently been informed of the news as captain Gabi and manager Simeone lifted the trophy, and with the duo's move, calls for a six-time title began to ring through Madrid.
And as the bus traveled, more and more Atletico fans joined in, and by the time the bus returned to the training base, the number of fans had exceeded 100,000.
But the celebration is not over, and Atletico have plenty of time to celebrate, as the winter break in La Liga is next, and the 16th round of the league is the last game before the winter break, although Atletico's game will be moved to February next year.
Entering the club, the Atletico players all changed into clothes with the words "Six Crowns" printed on them, and of course, it is December and it is impossible for everyone to wear only T-shirts.
Then I returned to the bus, but instead of the bus returning to the club from the airport, it was changed to a parade bus, and it was clear that Atletico Madrid's target was Poseidon Square.
In just one moment, the number of fans reached 120,000, and the number is still increasing, and if this situation continues, the scale will match last season's championship celebration.
Of course, it is impossible to celebrate the achievement of Atletico Madrid winning the Club World Cup and achieving the great feat of six crowns, because in the whole of Europe, only two teams have done it, no, it should be two and a half, and Ajax is actually counted.
This is also a "great achievement", plus it happens to be another winter break, it would be strange if Atletico Madrid didn't celebrate wildly, after all, I don't know how many years I will wait for the next time.
