Chapter 67: Failure is motivation

readx;

Even if it was a warm-up, the Real Madrid players could feel the enthusiasm of the Real Madrid fans, and the die-hard Real Madrid fans in the south stand led the entire Bernabeu to chant the players' names. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chu Zhongtian's name is also among them. In less than half a season, Chu Zhongtian has conquered the discerning Real Madrid fans with his practical actions and abilities, and now his status in the hearts of Real Madrid fans can be completely compared with Kaka, C. Ronaldo, Mesut Ozil, Casillas, Ramos and other stars.

In Real Madrid's specialty stores, jerseys with his number and name on them also sell quite well.

There are also many fans and tourists from China who come to visit the Bernabeu specifically for his name. After Chu Zhongtian joined Real Madrid, the economic impact on the team has gradually emerged. Now Florentino is waiting for Chu Zhongtian's influence on the competition to blossom and bear fruit. You must know that when Zidane recommended this Chinese player to him, he patted his chest and promised that Chu Zhongtian would bring the championship to Real Madrid, because this is a "champion-level player".

Whether this is the case or not, this national derby is a good test.

With half an hour to go before the start of the game, the players from both sides who had warmed up on the field left the field and returned to their respective dressing rooms. Real Madrid president Florentino and Barcelona president Russell appeared side by side on the podium.

There was a burst of boos from the stands. The fans are not targeting Real Madrid's president Florentino, in fact, Lafayette has a very high status in the hearts of Real Madrid fans since the "second palace", and almost no one will boo him at the Bernabeu Stadium - of course, this was not the case before this, but with Calderón as a comparison, everyone knows that Florentino is so powerful, a real figure, Calderon is like a clown.

Real Madrid fans booed the president of FC Barcelona, Russell. The reason for booing him is naturally because before the game, Rosell made insulting remarks, claiming that Barcelona's five-goal win over Real Madrid is traditional...... "Get out of the Bernabeu, Russell!" ”

"Go back home, Catalan bitch!!"

"Do you have the ability to score five more goals for us? Splintlists! ”

All sorts of angry shouts and slogans were a sign of the anger of Real Madrid fans against the Barcelona president. However, Russell was not disturbed by these disturbances, and he still greeted the VIPs on the rostrum with a smile on his face.

The game has not yet started, and everyone is not in a hurry to sit down, but to take this opportunity to get acquainted with each other. A football match is a game for the average fan, and for these high-level people it is clearly more like a social dance.

※※※ While Rusell, Florentino and others were meeting new friends and chatting with old friends, the Real Madrid players had returned to their dressing room, and all the Real Madrid players who entered the dressing room would be stunned at the door, because they could see the tactical board placed in front of them at a glance.

It was written with Rosell's quote from the last week: "I think if we don't win 5-0, it's a loss." Because it's a tradition in Barcelona. And the score below: 0-5.

All the Real Madrid players who saw this sentence and the score did not understand what Mourinho was trying to do.

When Rusell said this before, Mourinho didn't say anything, they thought that Mourinho didn't want to provoke a new war of words...... Others even thought their head coach had shrunk his eggs.

Now, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Chu Zhongtian also saw the words and scores of the tactical board at first glance, he was stunned for a moment and then laughed silently, he felt that he had somewhat guessed what this unruly head coach wanted to do, but he didn't say anything, returned to his seat, and began to change his clothes and prepare to play.

After all the Real Madrid players had returned to the dressing room, Mourinho motioned for assistant coach Karanka to close the dressing room door.

There was a sudden silence in the locker room, and the noise outside was silenced from the doors and walls.

Jose Mourinho looked at the players who had quieted down before pointing to the tactical board.

"Did everyone see that?" He asked.

Someone nodded, someone squeaked, someone was expressionless and indifferent.

"Of course that's not what I said, it's a thing called 'Sandro. Rusell's people said that three days before this game, he said so. I don't know what he meant by that, maybe to show superiority? But I'm putting this here to want you to remember that we lost to them 5:0 a year ago. ”

There is no need for others to uncover the old scars, Mourinho himself will uncover them.

"I can still recall that fight, it's so impressive, it's never been forgotten by me. What about you? Do you remember how they slaughtered us? How did those five goals go in? ”

Mourinho said as he watched the players underground. He noticed that some of them had rather unsightly faces, their fists clenched, and they seemed to be ready to explode at any moment.

'I know a lot of people don't want to remember that game again because it was a humiliating rout for us. But if you really forgot about that game, then I dare say you won't win today! ”

His words caused many people to look up at him, because it sounded so strange, why would forgetting the humiliating defeat lead to not winning today?

"And not only can't you win today, you can't win in the future." Mourinho ignored the surprised eyes of his players. "Why? Because you have forgotten how painful it is to fail, and how shameful it is to lose to a mortal enemy! If you don't remember that, you will taste this shame and pain again. Now, I'm glad that Russell helped me remind you. You know why I didn't object to what he said, right? ”

"Russell thinks it's tradition that they beat us 5-0, and voila, guys, we're being looked down upon!" Mourinho, who was calm and expressionless just now, suddenly broke out, and he roared loudly. "Flattened by the president of the fucking Barcelona club! Because of what? The president of a bullshit club dares to laugh at us like this, why? Isn't it because we lost to them with a score of 0:5? Do you think that if you don't mention it, if you don't want to do it, this game won't exist? No! This game is there, always reminding us of how painful it is to lose to them! ”

"Are we going to suffer like this for the rest of our lives? No! We can beat them in this game! We can continue to beat them in future matches! Are they invincible? Wrong! They are not! There is no invincible team in this world! When they think they're invincible, it's time for them to be out of luck, guys. But you have to remember how many times they relied on this game to humiliate us! ”

"We are Real Madrid, we are not cats and dogs that they can humiliate at will! Can you bear to be slighted like this? Are you willing to let them show off their power on our turf? ”

"I can't!" Ramos stood up from his seat and said with a look of resentment. "I can't be! Anyway, I'm going to give them some color in this game! ”

A year ago, Ramos was sent off for a red card for pushing Puyol in the final stages of the national derby, which was used by the media as the best evidence that "Real Madrid lost and lost". This made him very unhappy, and perhaps other Real Madrid players may not have the same humiliation as he received. He has long wanted revenge, and he met Barcelona three times last season, and each time he wanted revenge, but he drew two and lost one, and he didn't get revenge on any time.

Ramos clearly spoke for the other players. The 5-0 defeat to Barcelona has really become a shadow in the hearts of many people, if they can't beat Barcelona, they will always be under such pressure, and become the object of ridicule and ridicule.

C. Ronaldo still remembers last season's Champions League semi-finals, when they went to Camp Nou to play, the five-finger slap was full of five fingers, which was a kind of cheering prop, and the Barcelona club gave it to the Barcelona fans who watched the game for free. Then the whole audience shouted: "5:0! 5:0! 5:0!! ”

For him, it was more unbearable than attacking him directly. Attack him directly and he can hit back with brilliant dribbles and goals. But there is nothing he can do about the results of the game, he can't beat a team alone, and unless his team can win, he will have to continue to endure such humiliation.

He was joined by other Real Madrid team-mates who had been humiliated by Barcelona fans at Camp Nou.

The reason why Barcelona fans can be so rampant, the root of everything comes from that game. Originally, everyone thought it was a race like Mars hitting the earth. Unexpectedly, it was one-sided, which was really unexpected by everyone.

That's why this game has been mentioned by so many people repeatedly - the contrast between the pre-game and the post-game is too great.

Now, the opportunity for revenge is here again, will they be able to seize it this time?

Mourinho saw that the effect he wanted had been achieved, so he did not continue to stimulate these players, if the stimulation was too much, Ramos gave Messi a flying tackle as soon as he came on the field, it would be too much...... "Very good, I am happy to see that you still want to win against your opponents and not accept this kind of mockery." So let's talk about how we can beat them...... Mourinho began to explain the tactics to his people.

※※※ At the same time, in the dressing room of the away team. Pep Guardiola has finished talking about his team's tactics. In fact, there is nothing to talk about, Barcelona's tactics are those, Barcelona's players have long known what they should do, they have played together for many years, many people have cooperated since the youth team and the youth team, and their understanding of Barcelona's football philosophy is far better than ordinary people. A lot of times they don't play by tactics, they play by habit.

Pep Guardiola only needs to let his players play according to their habits, no wonder the Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who once played for Barcelona, once mocked Guardiola: "...... If I had been in his position, I would have led Barcelona to so many titles. Any coach can manage Barcelona to success......"

This team has inertia, and many times inertia alone is enough for them to overcome most enemies.

After talking about tactics, Guardiola felt that there was still some time and that he should say something more, but in fact, it was all a cliché, he just repeated it and told the players again.

"There's one thing, it's very important." He said to the players with a grim expression.

Quite a few players looked up at him.

"Thousand. Ten thousand. Thousand. Ten thousand. Don't take it lightly," Guardiola said.

Someone chuckled softly. They felt that the manager was overblowing. Does this need to be brought up so seriously by the manager? Originally, looking at the manager's serious expression, they thought it was something else. I did it for a long time just to remind them not to underestimate the enemy, Guardiola has received this many times, to be honest, everyone's ears are calloused, and now it's a little numb to mention it...... Hearing the chuckle, the look on Guardiola's face became more and more grim: "Don't laugh, I'm not joking." Have you forgotten the Super Cup? ”

The smile on the faces of those chuckling froze for a moment.

In the two Super Cup matches, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 3-1 at home and drew 1-1 away, and the two meetings in the new season are unbeaten, which has ended Barcelona's eight-game unbeaten streak against Real Madrid.

The defeat in the Champions League final made Barcelona set their sights on the Spanish Super Cup, and their opponents in those two games were Real Madrid, such an opponent, Barcelona definitely did not want to lose. Unexpectedly, he lost to Real Madrid in the end.

It's just that due to the limited influence of the Spanish Super Cup, and the nature of the Super Cup is more of a warm-up match for pre-match training, the loss of the Super Cup did not cause an uproar in the media, and the Catalan media deliberately kept a low profile and did not hype up the fact that their team lost.

But in the hearts of the Barcelona players, losing is losing, which makes them a little unhappy, although it is not to the point of "very unhappy", but it is also like a stone in their hearts, whether it will sting them.

If Real Madrid needs revenge, why not Barcelona?

Seeing the increasingly solemn look on the faces of the Barcelona players, Guardiola knew that he had achieved his goal.

It's a clever way to use defeat to motivate players and get them to fight for victory. However, Pep Guardiola did not know that there was a difference in the effectiveness of this approach, and the reason for the difference was the degree of pain of failure...... For the players on both sides, losing a chicken Super Cup is obviously not more painful than losing the league 0:5 and then being repeatedly ridiculed and ridiculed...... ※※※ The players on both sides left the dressing room and walked to the pitch. Although they are mortal enemies, you don't have to worry about the players of the two teams fighting first in the players' tunnel. Because the players' tunnel at the Santiago Bernabeu is separated and enclosed, with a wall in the middle of the tunnel separating the players from both teams, and the home and away team's dressing rooms in two completely different directions, the two teams don't have to meet before entering the pitch.

Near the exit, the wall was turned into barbed wire, so that the opposite side could be seen.

Chu Zhongtian stood in the middle of the team, next to the barbed wire, and across the barbed wire happened to be Barcelona's brightest star Messi.

The two men have only crossed paths in the Champions League final, but that game left a very strong impression on both sides.

At the beginning of the final, Chu Zhongtian was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Messi, allowing Messi to break through repeatedly. In the words of the commentator at the time, "those who have been broken through can't find the north", and everyone thought that Chu Zhongtian would be another victim at the feet of the "little quick" Messi.

But as the game progressed, Chu Zhongtian gradually adapted to the rhythm of Messi's play, and in the next game, Messi never got any decent opportunities from Chu Zhongtian. In such an important Champions League final, Messi did not play at the level he should have and did not score a single goal. Even before Chu Zhongtian went to play a cameo as the goalkeeper, he didn't have any decent shots. And what is more classic is that after Chu Zhongtian played a cameo goalkeeper, Messi still had to face him, an almost unattainable mountain - Chu Zhongtian blocked Messi and Pedro's shots as a temporary guest goalkeeper, dragging the game into a penalty shootout...... This game is still fresh in Messi's memory, and it is also the first time that Messi in his prime has met a player who can completely freeze him.

Now, he was turning his head to look at Chu Zhongtian through the mesh.

Chu Zhongtian was chatting with C. Ronaldo in front of him, and both of them spoke Portuguese. No one seemed to notice his presence.

This is the enemy of two Messis. One is on the defensive side and one is on the offensive side. Chu Zhongtian can freeze Messi, while C. Ronaldo is chasing Messi on the scorer list.

Originally, before or after the previous national derby, the players of the two teams could still get together for a while to chat and chat. However, due to the prosperity of Russell before this game, the relationship between the two teams was not very good. So neither side cares about the other.

They just want to be eager to start the game and then talk with their feet on the pitch and be ashamed.

When Domingo's Real Madrid anthem came from outside, the captains of both sides shouted backwards: "It's out!!" ”

Hearing this shout, C. Ronaldo jumped up on the spot, and Ramos raised his head to the sky and roared. There was a crisp echo of shoe spikes hitting the floor in the passageway, and everyone was walking out with their respective captains.

Chu Zhongtian couldn't help but look forward to it - the real national derby, his first national derby start, is finally coming!
