Chapter 63: Return to the Bernabeu
After the match against Colombia, it will be the match against the Chinese team in four days.
In fact, this is not the first time that the Spanish team has played a warm-up match against the Chinese team.
Five years ago, that is, in 2005, in Salamanca, Spain, the two teams had a meeting, and the score was 3:0, and the Spanish team scored one goal each by Torres, Xavi and Joaquín, and easily sent the Chinese team home.
The game was really easy at the time, and in the absence of Raul, the number one striker, the Spanish players did not even get their jerseys wet, and they beat the Chinese team to the north - of course, this is an exaggeration, but it is enough to show how big the difference in strength between the two teams is.
Time has passed, the starting lineups of the two teams have changed a lot, most of the players who experienced that battle are no longer in the team, but the only thing that has not changed is that the Chinese team has proved with time that they are still a group of Adou who can't be supported, and the Spanish team is stronger than five years ago - they have stood on the top of the world, and they are really the world's No. 1!
This is a battle with almost no suspense, both the Chinese media and the European media are unanimously pessimistic about the Chinese team, and even domestic fans have said that they don't care about the national team's win or loss, or how many goals they lose, as long as they can learn something from the world champion, it is enough.
And the Chinese internationals also vaccinated themselves before the game.
"In this competition, our aim is to learn something, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose."
'They are the best team in the world right now and if we have a good performance it will be enough.'
'It's Spain's home stadium after all, so all we need to do is show ourselves and play our style! Dare to fight! ”
There is nothing wrong with the pre-match declaration, but in fact, such words can be said thousands of times, and the fans are almost calloused when they hear these words, they know very well that these words cannot be understood literally, but - we can't play, because the opponent is too strong, we tried our best, but we just can't, we just can't beat, there is no way!
Before the game started, he sang down himself, and there was no one with such a mentality, but Chinese fans have long been accustomed to these ways of the national team, and they have thought of a lot of reasons and excuses before the game started, isn't this the traditional style of the Chinese team?
It's helpless, it's angry, and then there's deep sadness.
On the contrary, the Spanish team has a very objective evaluation of the Chinese team.
"We don't know much about Asian football, that's why we have this competition. But I believe that the Chinese team has the strength to become a competitive team, and the Chinese are a very intelligent race, and they can do whatever they want to do. ”
Spanish coach Bosque said before the game what he saw the Chinese team, he did not directly comment on the strength of the Chinese team, but touted the Chinese, anyway, in his opinion, this is not a lie, how the Chinese team is not clear to him, but the Chinese do create various miracles and achievements in today's world, which is worthy of admiration.
Xavi, the brainchild of the Spanish midfielder, also gave an interview to the media: "We played against the Chinese team five years ago, and I was very impressed by that game. The Chinese players are very hard-working, they are very energetic, and they have caused us a lot of problems...... If their style is the same as it was five years ago, I think we have to be vigilant. ”
These words seem to be praising the Chinese team, but people who know the inside story of the game that year are very clear, Xavi is complaining and complaining, in that game that year, the Chinese team simply played the warm-up game as the World Cup final, the action on the field was rough and savage, and the characteristics of dragging and shoveling were vividly displayed, many Spanish players were let go, and now in retrospect, Xavi was a little scared, just a warm-up game, if he was shoveled into the hospital by a group of crazy people, it would be a big loss.
Unlike Xavi's "cautious", Van Bizhuang's friend Ramos was excited in an interview: "I haven't played against Chinese players, but I think they should be very good. Look at Fan, he is a genius from China, he is the brightest star on the field, and his compatriots must not be far behind. Maybe many people don't know about the Chinese team before this, but I believe that as long as they work hard, the Chinese team will become a world powerhouse. I'm looking forward to playing against Fan's home country and I'll have to see how good Fan's compatriots are! ”
Ramos's tone is very serious, and he is really full of curiosity and expectation for the Chinese team.
Such an attitude has been unanimously praised by Chinese fans, and the straightforward Ramos has also been liked by more Chinese people, but many Chinese fans who are doing good things are also ridiculous: "Sergio, your expectations will not be disappointed, the Chinese team is very different, they will make you 'surprise'!" ”
Of course, this is to be understood in reverse, it is indeed a big surprise, not that the strength is too strong, but the strength is too scummy, Ramos thought that the players of the Chinese team were as talented as Fan Bizhuang, but in fact, there is only one Fan Bizhuang in China, and this superstar is not playing for the Chinese team!
……
Before the match, Ramos approached Van Bizhuang and asked him what he thought about the topic that has been buzzing on the Internet these days.
"What do you think, Fan? That's a great idea! ”
Ramos was a little bit excited, and he was thrilled to see him face to face at international level.
"How's that?"
Fan Bizhuang asked a little confusedly.
"I represented the Spanish team in the first half and the Chinese team in the second half! It's a warm-up game anyway, and Coach Vincent won't have a problem if you will. ”
Fan Bizhuang suddenly realized, daring to think that Ramos was waiting here, and glared at him angrily: "Do you think the national team game is a game, and Mr. Vincent has no opinion?" Do you believe that if you really want to make this opinion, the coach will immediately get angry? ”
"Coach Vincent isn't that rigid. I said Fan, you guys shouldn't be scared, worried about losing face, right? You have to have faith in your fellow citizens, besides, we are friends, and I will be very gentle and will not abuse you too badly......"
"Get out!"
Fan Bizhuang gave Ramos a roll of the eyes, too lazy to take care of this obviously abnormal guy with brain circuits.
……
The match against China was played at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid's home stadium.
This summer, Fan Bizhuang had just left from here, but he didn't expect to be back here a few months later.
Originally, he thought that the fans here would be resentful of his departure and have no good impression of him, but in fact, on the contrary, the entire Bernabeu stadium was full, and when Fan Bizhuang appeared on the field to warm up, there were tidal cheers and applause in all directions, and countless fans held up Fan Bizhuang's portrait and poster, shouting his name.
Fan Bizhuang, who has returned to the old place, seems to be the most popular player in this stadium. The fans at the scene gave him the greatest courtesy, as well as the most enthusiastic cheers.
Fan Bizhuang's departure, how much made some fans unhappy, but think about it and don't seem to blame the other party, Fan Bizhuang and the fans here had an unpleasant accident before, the fans also ridiculed and booed countless times, and Fan Bizhuang still persevered, and brought back a league championship trophy for Real Madrid that had been lost for several years, this is not enough, when Fan Bizhuang left, he also left a lot of transfer income for the team - the matter of liquidated damages is not a secret, Fan Bizhuang did not use only 40 million euros to force him to leave, It can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, and from this point of view, Real Madrid fans have no reason to hate him.
Whether it is from the competitive aspect or in terms of economic income, Fan Bizhuang has no place to be sorry for Real Madrid, and the fans are not a group of unreasonable trouble, after all, they left from Real Madrid, and they can't be relatives, but there is no need to be an enemy, and Fan Bizhuang's contribution to Real Madrid is real, and until now, there are still many fans who miss Fan Bizhuang's every outstanding performance here.
"Fan, welcome home!"
"We won't forget you!"
"You may be gone, but your name has long been engraved in the club's honour room, and you are a member of the Bernabeu at all times!"
"The Harvest Goddess is always watching over her children, and I hope that one day, you will come back here again, for real!"
With banners and slogans on all sides, and cheers and shouts, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium was transformed into a huge, scorching furnace with a fiery atmosphere.
Fan Bizhuang was a little moved and emotional, waving his hands to the stands on all sides, and the wave of cheers became more and more turbulent.
Such a passionate scene opened the eyes of the opponents of the Spanish team and the players of the Chinese team in this game - in China, these international players are also big stars, big stars, enjoying the chase and enthusiasm of fans and media, but compared with the scene in front of them, it is really trivial, and there is no comparison at all.
What does it mean to be the king and hegemon in one's own acre and three points of land, look at Fan Bizhuang, who is also Asian with yellow skin and black hair, is also Chinese, and as a result, he is still complacent about becoming a big name in China, but he has already gained a reputation in Europe and conquered fans all over the world.
It can be said that they and Fan Bizhuang are not at the same level at all.
Perhaps there were still people who were unimpressed by Fan Bizhuang's success in Europe before, but the current scene is estimated to be unforgettable in their future careers - the same Chinese, people go to conquer the world, but they can only play with themselves behind closed doors, which is simply incomparable.
Even if they don't want to admit it, Chinese internationals must admit that Fan Bizhuang really transmitted the style of the Chinese to every corner of world football!
