Chapter 20: The First Champion
readx;
In fact, although Barcelona are now ahead, Barcelona are not completely in the upper hand on the field, and their goal was somewhat lucky, without warning and unconvincing before the goal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, Real Madrid's counter-attack was very sharp, threatening Barcelona's goal many times, but Benzema, who started this time, wasted many chances and the team was never able to score.
Chu Zhongtian stared at Mourinho for a while, and found that he couldn't see anything, so he simply watched the game again. At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona clearly took the initiative, and Chu Zhongtian felt that this was different from their performance at the beginning of the first half.
That's right...... A thought came to Chu Zhongtian's mind.
Why is it different? What's the difference?
Barcelona started the first half with a bit of a scramble, or rather no goal, and they didn't seem to know what to do.
This scene once surprised Chu Zhongtian, but at that time, he was only surprised, and he didn't take it to heart. Now that I see it, I was careless. As a mid-length player, known as the "manager of the field", how can he turn a blind eye to such a noticeable change in Barcelona?
During his time at Hoffenheim, he often studied the footage of his opponents to find out the reasons for their subtle changes and to deal with them in matches. That's why he was able to join the Hoffenheim coaching staff.
Chu Zhongtian lowered his head and carefully recalled Barcelona's performance in the first half.
It looked like Barcelona were playing against Real Madrid and they had the advantage. But in fact, that is because Real Madrid chose to actively shrink the defense and leave space for Barcelona. They kept putting their feet on the outside, had a lot of possession, but they didn't pose much of a threat.
And this is still the performance of the second half of the first half, in the first half of their insurance is not normal, a little impatient. It's like accumulating strength for a long time, but the last punch is empty, so the more I want to hit, the more I can't hit, the more I can't hit, the more I want to hit, and I seem impatient and blind.
Why is this so?
Chu Zhongtian thought of Mourinho's pre-match praise for his performance against Barcelona.
Don't...... A thought suddenly crossed his mind.
Chu Zhongtian felt that it was a little unlikely.
He felt that he should not have such a deterrent...... Chu Zhongtian's thoughts were that Mourinho had praised himself before, just to set off smoke bombs, and at the same time kept reminding Barcelona what kind of character they were, asking them to think of the Champions League final and the defeat in the Champions League final when they think of themselves. Therefore, it is believed that Mourinho will send Chu Zhongtian to start, so Barcelona's arrangements are aimed at themselves, but they didn't think that they didn't start, but let Barcelona pounce, and the previous arrangements were useless. Naturally, I have to re-adapt.
If this is the case, it shows that Mourinho takes himself very seriously, because he uses himself as a nuclear weapon.
Originally, if Benzema had given a little more force, Real Madrid might have even taken a 3-0 lead in the first half. But it's not bad now, only one goal behind, and there are chances to counter-attack.
At this time, Real Madrid was very, very in need of speed. Who can bring them speed in midfield playmaking?
Chu Zhongtian thought of himself.
I came out of Hoffenheim, and in the past two seasons, especially last season, Hoffenheim's fast football has become famous in Europe.
As the leader of Hoffenheim, Chu Zhongtian represents the player, although his own speed with the ball is not fast, but it is under his fast and accurate passing that Hoffenheim can be fast.
He doesn't think Mourinho won't know that.
If Real Madrid want to improve the pace of their attack, they need someone who passes the ball quickly and accurately, and who is also clear-headed and has a strong sense of the big picture. Harvey. Alonso fits the bottom three, which is that the passing tempo is not fast enough.
If what he had guessed before was correct, Chu Zhongtian knew that his time had come.
Sure enough, five minutes later, assistant coach Karanka walked up to Chu Zhongtian and said to him, "Chu, go up and warm up." ”
Chu Zhongtian put on his vest and ran to the warm-up area.
The TV broadcast gave Chu Zhongtian, who was warming up, a shot. As the transfer bid king in Europe this season, he transferred to Real Madrid worth 70 million euros, and Chu Zhongtian is naturally in the spotlight.
Playing such an important game as Barcelona, the media originally speculated that Chu Zhongtian would definitely start in the two rounds, but he was benched in both games. So during this time, there was a lot of speculation about the relationship between Mourinho and Chu Zhongtian.
If Mourinho really doesn't like Chu Zhongtian, then there will definitely be another storm within the Bernabeu. As a sky-high player who spent 70 million euros on the club, if he is always a cold bench, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the senior management and members of the Real Madrid club. Supporting one of them would lead to the other leaving Real Madrid. Of course, Real Madrid's rivals would love to see Jose Mourinho leave Real Madrid. But no matter who leaves Real Madrid, who stays, or no one leaves, as long as there is chaos within Real Madrid, it is good news.
It's no secret that Real Madrid is divided into factions within the football world. Factions cannot be eliminated, and when Real Madrid have good results, the relationship between their factions is handled well, and when they have poor results, it must be when there is strife in the dressing room.
Real Madrid is a very strong team, they have the best players on the planet, and if they work together, they can beat all enemies. To use a very vulgar saying, "it is always you who defeat them".
Real Madrid's infighting is great news for Real Madrid's enemies. So the media in Catalonia are often keen to report on the inside of the dressing room at Real Madrid, saying that a certain player and the manager had a quarrel, and then saying that two big-name players don't like each other...... Anyway, there is always negative news of this kind and that, and I hope it will affect the internal unity of Real Madrid.
In the same way, the pro-Real Madrid Madrid media will also deal with Barcelona in this way, in short, this is definitely not a simple contest between two teams, the feud between Real Madrid and Barcelona is entangled in too many other things, national character and future, and political appeals. Catalonia has never given up on breaking away from Spain and pursuing the best efforts, and when it is currently unattainable, it can only use football as a weapon, so every time Barcelona wins against Real Madrid, they will be regarded by them as the victory of Catalonia against the Spanish royal family.
In fact, the hatred of pure football will not be so deep. The derby hatred that is deep enough has to do with something other than football. For example, the world-famous "time-honored" derby, the feud between Glasgow Rangers and Celtic, is related to religion.
The hatred between Inter Milan and AC Milan is not deep, because they have no other hatred than football.
Chu Zhongtian didn't pay attention to the non-football hatred between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and he wanted to beat Barcelona purely out of football considerations. Because Barcelona is the strongest in world football right now, and although they lost the Champions League final, it did not shake their foundations, as the Catalan journalist said somewhat arrogantly after the game: "Barcelona's football is eternal". He's right, a defeat in a Champions League final didn't knock Barcelona off the top spot in the world, and they remain the strongest team in world football today.
The team has been working together for many years, most of the players in the team have come out of the La Masia academy, Cruyff has run Barcelona for many years, and the biggest legacy for Barcelona is La Masia. Barcelona have a style of football from the academy to the first team, which means that the players in their academy will not need to adapt to being promoted to the first team and will be able to perform well almost quickly.
So to beat Barcelona completely, it is definitely not something that can be done in a Champions League final.
Since Barcelona is the strongest team in world football today and likes to be challenged, of course it is challenging to beat Barcelona often. In the whole of Europe, only Real Madrid can play against Barcelona often, and it is on the same level as Barcelona. That's why he chose to come to Real Madrid.
Five minutes later, Chu Zhongtian warmed up and returned to the coach's seat. This time, it was the assistant coach Kalankara who talked to Chu Zhongtian and explained tactics to him.
"When you go up, tell them that we're going to speed up the counterattack. The midfielder should be fast, and the two wings should be actively forward......"
Karanka said for a long time, but Chu Zhongtian only grasped the key point and asked: "Is it just as fast as you attack when you attack?" ”
Karanka nodded: "Yes, just be fast." ”
Chu Zhongtian: "Okay, then I know what to do." ”
With that, he walked to the sidelines.
When he was in Hoffenheim, Rangnick never said so much to him, and the most he said was: "What are we going to do, you know what to do, right?" Chu Zhongtian nodded, this matter is over, needless to say.
It seems that when you come to a new environment, you still need to get used to it...... When Chu Zhongtian stood next to the fourth official, waiting to play, Karanka had already returned to the coach's box, he sat down next to Mourinho, and said to Mourinho: "Chu's tactical understanding is excellent......
Mourinho took one look at him, then turned his head back to watch the game. 'When he was at Hoffenheim, he was a coach and was mainly responsible for tactics.
Karanka smacked: "What a monster ......"
※※※ "Chu Zhongtian is on the field!" ”
"Sixty-fifth minute...... I gave an extra fifteen minutes this time, I wonder if it's an improvement? ”
"Haha! Finally didn't stay up all night! ”
In China, the Chinese fans who stayed up all night on the Internet were excited.
Unfortunately, the game was still not broadcast on Chinese television, so they couldn't hear how the commentator introduced and commented on Chu Zhongtian's appearance. From the Spanish commentary, they could only understand the pronunciation of "chu".
The Spanish commentator is introducing the player: "Jose Mourinho replaced Khedira with Chu, still in a back two, and it looks like he is going to score goals away from home...... Chu joined Real Madrid from Hoffenheim for a whopping €70 million this summer, and it was in the Champions League final against Barcelona that he made a name for himself. In the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Chu came on in the last ten minutes and instigated a beautiful counterattack to help Real Madrid win the game 3:1 at home, otherwise it should be Barcelona happily by now, Real Madrid will definitely not be so leisurely. You know, Barcelona did have an away goal. ”
"Chu is out! Let's hear it...... Wow! What a big boo! ”
When the fans at Camp Nou saw Chu Zhongtian running onto the pitch, the boos came to him overwhelmingly. All Real Madrid players are not treated as "grandly" as he is, and even C. Ronaldo can't enjoy the boos compared to Chu Zhongtian.
In the overwhelming boos, Chu Zhongtian was not afraid, his face did not change, he ran onto the court and pointed to the two teammates on the side and shouted: "We need speed!" Be more resolute when fighting back! ”
It's like a captain, like he was at Hoffenheim.
After communicating the manager's intentions to the players on the pitch, he took the position of midfielder. He addressed Harvey. Alonso gave a thumbs up, it's always right to have a good relationship with his partner. You must know that Mourinho gave him the task of actively participating in the attack, and he must appear in almost every attack, so after he goes up, the space left behind him will naturally be handed over to his midfield partner, Alonso is the person behind him, and it is absolutely no good to offend him.
The boos finally stopped, but don't think that the Barcelona fans just let Chu Zhongtian go, as long as the football was passed to Chu Zhongtian's feet, it was a deafening boo.
This kind of boos did not affect Chu Zhongtian, but affected the referee - Chu Zhongtian broke the ball from the feet of Iniesta in a defense, and then Iniesta fell to the ground, and the huge boos in the stands on the spot made the referee have the illusion that Chu Zhongtian had committed a foul, whistled to stop the game, and gave Barcelona a free kick.
This penalty made Chu Zhongtian a little surprised, he knew that he was not fouled, Iniesta was just hit by himself, but such an impact was definitely not enough to make Iniesta fall to the ground, unless he only had one leg. The actual situation was that Iniesta was hit by Chu Zhongtian, and then in the process of maintaining his balance, his right foot tripped over his left foot, and he fell to the ground like this. That's the truth. But the Barcelona fans in the stands didn't see it, or they saw it but still thought it was Chu Zhongtian's responsibility, so there were boos, causing the referee to make a wrong judgment.
Chu Zhongtian was dissatisfied with this decision, he thought that the referee was under pressure from the home fans, this was obviously a beautiful steal, and the most important thing was that this steal was an excellent opportunity for Real Madrid to counterattack, just because of this inexplicable whistle, Real Madrid's counterattack opportunity was gone.
Chu Zhongtian stepped forward to argue with the referee, but walked up and found that the other party didn't care about him at all. And Kaka, who was next to him, also grabbed him: "Don't be impulsive, Chu!" The Brazilian thought that Chu Zhongtian was dissatisfied with the referee's decision and wanted to go to the referee for trouble.
was pulled by Kaka like this, Chu Zhongtian suddenly reacted - he is no longer the captain of Hoffenheim, so he is not necessary or qualified to come out of many disputes on the field, and the referee can ignore himself at all because he is not the captain.
Accustomed to being the captain of Hoffenheim, on the pitch for himself and his teammates. When I came to Real Madrid, I was not comfortable enough for a while. So he shook his head, turned away from the referee with a wry smile, and accepted the decision.
The game restarted and Xavi kicked the football out and gave it to Messi.
Chu Zhongtian was not affected by the previous miscalculation, he was still very tough in defense, and he slammed it up, almost making Messi almost unable to hold the ball. However, the Argentine golden boy is really good, and the first impact did not make him lose control of the ball, and the football is still at his feet.
Chu Zhongtian continued to hit, and at the same time stretched out his foot from behind to break the ball. Messi focused on the confrontation with Chu Zhongtian, but there was no place to go to Gareth, who suddenly came up from behind. Bell, when he found that Bell had stretched out his foot towards him, quickly pulled back the football and hit the ironclad Chu Zhongtian.
The ball is lost.
Real Madrid took advantage of the opportunity to counter-attack, and in the end C. Ronaldo completed a dangerous shot on goal.
It's just a pity that there is still no goal.
※※※ In the 70th minute, Mourinho replaced Benzema with Adebayo, who was working hard but still squandering his chances. Bam Adebayo's presence means Real Madrid will have to continue to adjust their tactics. However, the general direction remains the same, and it is still a defensive counterattack. Bam Adebayo has added a point of contact up front for the team, giving the team more options and more certainty on the counter-attack.
The substitution was immediate, with Bam Adebayo's first touch of the ball coming on was to shoot a football into the Barcelona goal.
At that time, it was Chu Zhongtian who received Alonso's pass in the backfield, and then made a long pass directly to the middle without stopping the ball, Kaka received the ball in the middle and divided the ball, C. Ronaldo took the ball on the side to attract the opponent's defensive attention, and then Gareth Bale inserted it, and the Portuguese passed the football to him again, he crossed it underneath, and Adebayo put the football into the goal.
1:1!
The boos at Camp Nou finally stopped.
The final score was this, and Real Madrid, who scored an away goal, began to shrink their defense again. Jose Mourinho was clearly intent on holding on to the scoreline. Real Madrid led Barcelona 4-1 on aggregate, and the goal was basically unplayable.
Barcelona also knew that the score gap was a bit big, and the time was too little, so in the end they simply gave up on winning, and the last minutes of the game were very friendly between the two sides, and the smell of gunpowder disappeared. And seeing the team like this, Barcelona fans are also a little discouraged. When Chu Zhongtian took the ball, the boos were not so loud, and they were a little scattered.
After a 1-1 draw away from Barcelona and a 4-1 aggregate win over old rivals, Real Madrid lifted the Spanish Super Cup on their opponents' turf. Chu Zhongtian got his first championship trophy after joining Real Madrid.
This trophy is somewhat chicken, Chu Zhongtian is not complacent because of this, he knows that the journey is still long, a Spanish Super Cup is nothing, the league championship and the Champions League championship are the most important.
The Spanish Super Cup will never be his last trophy for Real Madrid, and he must not become a second Beckham until he leaves the team to win a league title......
