"It's Real Madrid's counterattack! Ramos...... Bam Adebayo's header is back to ...... Mesut Ozil receives the ball and goes wide...... Pass! He passed the football to Chu! Cristiano. Ronaldo! He received Chu's pass, and he caught everyone's attention! Barcelona's defenders have to be very careful, this is a dangerous man! Is he going to shoot? No...... Cross! Cross! It's a cross! …… Chu - gooooooo!! ”

Chu Zhongtian's goal in the national derby was broadcast in front of the TV, and the passionate roar of the commentator was quickly drowned out in the cheers of greater victory. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is the highlight moment that belongs to Chu! He scored his first goal in the national derby! He is Barcelona's nemesis! Pep Guardiola's Barcelona is currently the strongest team in the world, but if anyone can beat them, I'm afraid there are only two people, one is Mourinho and the other is Chu! Both of them are now at Real Madrid, and the battle between the two teams this season is worth watching......"

※※※ There is only one voice in the entire Bernabeu Stadium, and that is the cheers of the Real Madrid fans.

In the 79th minute of the game, Real Madrid led by two goals and basically announced the end of the game in advance. Even Barcelona will not be able to score two or even three goals in the last ten minutes against Real Madrid.

What's more, Barcelona are not good at playing against the wind, and in a game of this level, one goal behind is deadly, let alone two goals behind...... In fact, it was exactly what happened next. When the game resumed, the cheers at the Bernabeu showed no signs of abating, and the Barcelona players looked a little frustrated.

Although there are still people who don't want to give up the game, it's a pity that they can't go anywhere.

In the face of Real Madrid's iron wall, whether it is Messi or Iniesta, there is no way.

In the 80th minute, Guardiola made a last-ditch effort when he brought on Bojan for Villa, then Mascherano and the exhausted Puyol. But these substitutions are all decent, lacking the courage and audacity that erupt when cornered. Pep Guardiola has had a smooth run since taking charge of Barcelona. In his first season with the team, he created such a great result as six crowns, so he is actually like a flower in a greenhouse, without encountering any strong winds and waves. The storms he encountered, the result was that he lost. For example, last season, the season when Inter Milan won the treble, in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Barcelona lost 1:3 away, and Pep Guardiola had no way to take Mourinho's team. Back at home, the Catalan media played the revenge slogan "Together, we can work miracles", and the result? Motta was sent off and the game went in the other direction, Guardiola didn't expect Mourinho to insist on defending so shamelessly with one less person, facing Inter Milan who couldn't defend it, he couldn't come up with a better way, he could only rely on the team's inertia to attack Inter Milan, although the possession rate was amazing, but useless. In the end, although he scored a goal, he was defeated with an aggregate score of 2:3 and was eliminated.

This game can be regarded as the heaviest blow and the most painful "failure" since Guardiola took charge of Barcelona, and the reason why it is in quotation marks is because in a single game, Guardiola did not lose, but lost the most crucial aggregate score.

The game also exposed Pep Guardiola's lack of experience as a manager, which led to his lack of flexibility in on-the-spot command.

This is a problem, but it has not gone unnoticed, because then Guardiola quickly defeated Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid in the national derby in the new season, which shocked the world 5-0, avenging the previous one-arrow revenge, and also making the media tout of him reach the peak, it seems that Guardiola has no problems, he and his team are the most perfect in the world.

Now that this problem has been exposed again, how many people can take it seriously?

※※※ Injury time is four minutes. After stoppage time, Jose Mourinho used his last substitution, bringing on Albiol for Carvalho. In terms of the substitution itself, it didn't make sense for Albiol to replace Carvalho, who was not physically exhausted and not injured. The substitution was entirely tactical, made by Mourinho in order to delay the game. If you make a substitution before stoppage time, this time will be counted towards stoppage time, and you will make a 30-second substitution. But if you make a substitution in stoppage time, you can't add another 30 seconds.

This is where Mourinho's cunning side lies.

At this time, the score on the field was still 2:0, the home team Real Madrid was ahead, and the home fans in the stands could not wait to cheer.

It was their first win over Barcelona in three years and it was a moment to celebrate!

When Chu Zhongtian pushed Piqui's long ball out, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"It's over – congratulations to Real Madrid! They have finally beaten the mighty Barcelona! Defend the Earth on your home turf! ”

"It's over! Barcelona lost 2-0 away to Real Madrid and they didn't play well in this game. Real Madrid, on the other hand, played very well. Ronaldo and Chu's goals put them in the last laugh......"

"Chu Zhongtian's goal in this game further proves his status in the team, he is indispensable!"

As soon as the game ended, Chu Zhongtian was surrounded by the media. Journalists all know the feud between this man and Barcelona, in the Champions League final he was not just as simple as beating Barcelona, many people thought at the time that Chu Zhongtian was completely humiliating Barcelona - lost to a temporary guest goalkeeper, and was given a clean sheet by this temporary guest goalkeeper in the penalty shootout, for the arrogant Barcelona players, this is not humiliation What is it?

In addition, after the game, Chu Zhongtian said that "Barcelona's football is eternal, but the championship belongs to Hoffenheim", absolutely no Barcelona supporters think that Chu Zhongtian's words are a compliment and praise for them...... Often, they see it as a provocation.

"How do you feel about beating Barcelona again, Chu?" There are Madrid reporters who deliberately bite the word "again".

"It feels good." Chu Zhongtian replied with a smile of victorious joy on his face.

'Your first time playing in a league national derby, your first start in a national derby, how do you feel?

"I want to ...... That's a big reason why I came to Spain. ”

The pro-Real Madrid journalists laughed. Of course, there is no need to worry that Chu Zhongtian's words will cause dissatisfaction among Barcelona reporters, because Barcelona reporters did not come to interview Chu Zhongtian at all, they all went to interview the failed Barcelona players, but the Barcelona players did not give them face, they left the stadium in a hurry and got into the players' tunnel, Barcelona reporters finally caught the captain Puyol who was walking slowly, and in the face of those microphones, the expression on Puyol's face looked very helpless- What's more like rubbing salt in a wound than being questioned by the media after losing?

"Well, Chu. How do you feel about the national derby? ”

Chu Zhongtian thought for a while and said to the reporters: "For the national derby, I will always look forward to the next one!" ”

※※※ "For the national derby, I will always look forward to the next one!" ”

Chu Zhongtian said into the TV camera.

Emily, who was sitting on the sofa, snuggled up to Chu Zhongtian: "It's so cool! ”

“…… Real Madrid newcomer Chu has sent a challenge to his old rival! The 2-0 win over Barcelona is still getting Real Madrid fans talking, and Chu and his team-mates are clearly already eyeing the next national derby......

The host on the TV said.

The National Derby is a very special game, usually after the game is over, everyone can discuss it for a day at most, while the National Derby can be discussed for several days on end, and each day has a new topic.

For example, on the first day, the pro-Real Madrid faction cheered, and the pro-Barcelona faction mourned. The next day, the pro-Real Madrid continued to dig into the details of the game, while the pro-Barcelona began to analyse where Barcelona had lost. On the third day, it was completely dispersed, Real Madrid sent Mourinho and the goalscorers C. Ronaldo and Chu Zhongtian to sing praises, while Barcelona chanted "We want revenge" and "You have the ability to wait!" "Feed you another 5:0 at Camp Nou!" This kind of ...... There is a lot of news coming out of the way.

But this time it's a little different.

This time, in addition to the news of the two teams, there is also a series of news that has attracted attention.

That's the result of the World Footballer of the Year award.

At the end of each year, it is the time when the world football awards are released, and during this time, the most concerned is who will become the world footballer of the year and who will win the European Ballon d'Or.

Although the European Ballon d'Or has been co-organized with the World Footballer of the Year, after an unconvincing season, the organizer of the European Ballon d'Or, France Football magazine, has decided to re-organise the ** Goal Award.

This year marks the first year of the rebirth of the European Ballon d'Or.

In fact, the list of the top three candidates was released long before the match against Barcelona. All three candidates are from these two teams, with Barcelona taking one and Real Madrid two.

Barcelona is naturally represented by Messi, while Real Madrid has C. Ronaldo and Chu Zhongtian.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are old faces, and both of them have been shortlisted for their outstanding performances at the club, especially in the area of goals.

And Chu Zhongtian's selection is completely due to the Champions League results. Hoffenheim is not a big club and was not ranked in the whole of European football until the Champions League final. Although it has a certain influence in Germany, the influence of the German football league in European football is already low...... What made Chu Zhongtian finally on the shortlist was his stunning performance in the Champions League final. The Champions League final was a typical example of Chu Zhongtian's one-man defeat of Barcelona, and he took his heroism to the extreme in that game, single-handedly confronting Barcelona's dream midfielder in midfield, and when the team needed to score, he turned into a striker and scored the crucial equaliser for the team. But his performance is not over yet, after the substitute goalkeeper is sent off, it is Chu Zhongtian's show_time that really shocked the world.

Chu Zhongtian, who incarnated as a goalkeeper, kept a clean sheet against Barcelona, and in the last seconds of extra time, Pedro and Messi had the opportunity to score a must-score goal together. But Chu Zhongtian pounced with incredible agility. After the ball was saved, the whole Wembley stadium fell silent - the Barcelona fans were stunned, and the Hoffenheim fans forgot to cheer.

With this one save, it is enough for the world to remember Chu Zhongtian's gorgeous performance. Not to mention that in the subsequent penalty shootout, Chu Zhongtian also kept a clean sheet against Barcelona.

But it is unlikely that he will win this year's World Footballer of the Year and European Goalser awards.

The European Ballon d'Or Award is selected by the French magazine "French Football", relying on the votes of the editors and reporters of the French football magazine, this award is more professional and authoritative, and Chu Zhongtian's performance may be able to impress those professional reporters and editors. However, FIFA's World Footballer of the Year selection relies on the voting of the coaches and captains of each national team, and there are many problems with this selection method, not to mention that FIFA still has a tradition of black-box operation. The captain and head coach of the national team vote entirely from the perspective of the candidate's fame, in this way, Messi and C. Ronaldo are very advantageous, because after all these years of media bombardment, children know their names, and what about Chu Zhongtian? How many people knew about him before the Champions League final? After the Champions League final, how many people remember his name and remember it when they voted?

As a result, some of the more pessimistic Chinese media have begun to accuse FIFA of this lazy selection method - they have never been noncommittal about this selection method before, and now that their interests are involved, they will start to criticize.

Can Chu Zhongtian get these two awards? I don't know yet, but the answer to one award has already been revealed, and that is the "World's Best Player" selected by the British "World Football Magazine". The magazine's readers voted for Chu Zhongtian from China as the 2011 World Player of the Year.

However, this award is too limited to the readers of World Football Magazine, and the magazine's popularity is declining, so it has little influence. With the exception of the Chinese media, none of the major European media paid much attention to the results of the award.

Despite this, for Chu Zhongtian, this is still an affirmation of him.

Just after the news of his winning this award came out, Chu Zhongtian received a call from Boss John, in which Boss John not only congratulated him, but also did not forget to brag about his own people's efforts in this selection. "We've called on a lot of people to vote for you, Chu!"

The best player in world football is more like an appetizer before dinner.

The only ones that attract the most are the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year.

There is no suspense in the Ballon d'Or, everyone already thinks that unless the editors and reporters of "French Football" have their brains pumped, it is impossible to ignore Chu Zhongtian's performance in the Champions League. To be able to take a country team that everyone had not fancied before, all the way to the final, and beat Barcelona to lift the European Champions League when everyone thought it was impossible. The reporter is very concerned about these, so there is basically no suspense that Chu Zhongtian will be elected to the European Golden Globe Award, in fact, before the award, the news that circulated through various channels is that Chu Zhongtian has been selected for the European Golden Globe Award.

Now the final suspense is FIFA's World Footballer of the Year, although the gold content is the lowest, but the influence is also the largest. After all, there are not many professional people, and most of them are just watching the fun.

FIFA is clearly more famous than France Football.

※※※ In the past few days, Chu Zhongtian has been surrounded by reporters, and the most asked questions during the interview are also about the selection of Mr. Football. Everyone is concerned about whether he will be able to win the World Footballer of the Year.

And in such a fierce competition, whether the friendship between him and C. Ronaldo will be affected.

This is not without precedent. In the 2005 World Footballer of the Year award, two players from Barcelona, Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o, were selected for the final three-man squad. In the end, Ronaldinho won the World Footballer of the Year, when his teammate Eto'o was very unconvinced by this result, and he once publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Ronaldinho's award, thinking that Ronaldinho was too proud and had no one in his eyes.

Of course, although Eto'o later denied that he had said such a thing, and FC Barcelona also handled the matter in a low-key manner, it still caused turmoil in Barcelona's dressing room, and Eto'o eventually left FC Barcelona, because Guardiola did not like him, and also because he had a bad relationship with Barcelona.

C. Ronaldo is a very arrogant person, he always thinks that he is the best, he has not been voted World Footballer of the Year for two years, if he is robbed by someone else for the third time, will he have any thoughts?

Will this affect his relationship with Chu Zhongtian, and thus further affect the unity in the dressing room of Real Madrid? The current dressing room is a whole under Mourinho's strong unity, but everyone knows that Real Madrid's dressing room cannot be stable for a long time, and the relationship between Chu Zhongtian and C. Ronaldo may become a time bomb.

Chu Zhongtian is the core of Real Madrid's midfield, and C. Ronaldo is the number one star, and if there is any conflict between the two, it will definitely be a big blow to Mourinho, who is ambitiously building a dynasty.

The Catalan media is constantly hyping up this possibility, as if they can say what they don't have in the first place.

Could such a situation really happen?
