Chapter 19 Chu Zhongtian's Research Object
readx;
Before going to Camp Nou, Chu Zhongtian had become one of Barcelona's most unpopular figures, not only because he led Hoffenheim to beat Barcelona in the recently concluded Champions League final, but also because he saved two consecutive shots from Butzques in a penalty shootout. The second kick of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was completely an angry shot, even so, Chu Zhongtian didn't give Butzks a chance to vent. This scene was later repeatedly broadcast by many TV stations, of course, while the hosts were amazed at Chu Zhongtian's quick reaction, they did not forget to ridicule Barcelona for losing the game and not even having a chance to vent their anger.
Because of this incident, Barcelona fans were very unhappy with Chu Zhongtian, thinking that he was too personless, and he was like a child who didn't grow up.
Barcelona thinks that Chu Zhongtian is completely villainous, and they can't accept insulting Barcelona if they win.
Before the start of the second leg of the Super Cup, some Barcelona fans released words to let Chu Zhongtian feel the anger of Barcelona fans.
The Chinese media are worried about whether Chu Zhongtian will be affected in such an environment.
Jose Mourinho was unfazed, and he frequently mentioned Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performances in the Champions League before the game, as if he was Chu Zhongtian's most loyal fan. This deeply stimulated the Barcelona fans. Now in the Real Madrid team, there are two people who Barcelona fans hate the most, one is of course Chu Zhongtian, because he snatched the Champions League title belonging to Barcelona and shattered their dream of a treble Wembley. The other is Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who has played Barcelona on a number of occasions and has drawn deafening boos from the stands every time he appears at Camp Nou.
Bringing together these two of Barcelona's most hated people, it seems like a deliberate look at Real Madrid...... Barcelona fans are clearly looking for a blow to the two at Camp Nou.
However, when the game started, they found that Chu Zhongtian was not in the starting lineup, he was still sitting on the bench, sitting with Adebayo, this time even Kaka and Gareth. Bale started and he was still on the bench.
Half of the boos they had prepared were useless and had to be vented to Mourinho. Mourinho doesn't care, though. He sat peacefully in the dugout and watched the game.
This starting line-up was very disappointing for Barcelona fans, but also for Chinese fans. Chinese TV still hasn't won the rights to broadcast the Spanish Super Cup, so Chinese fans can only wait in front of their computers in the middle of the night, battling the jammed Internet speed and unclear broadcast signals, just to enjoy Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance at Camp Nou - after the first round, everyone was whetted by Chu Zhongtian's last-minute counterattack.
Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian was arranged to sit on the cold bench again.
"It's so damning! Is it easy for us Chinese fans to get up in the middle of the night to watch the game? Exercise! ”
"You slept for a while, didn't you? I could stay in front of the computer all the time, trapped ......"
"Didn't you say that Mourinho and Lin Dan had a personal vendetta? Is this a blatant communiqué for personal vendetta? ”
"I just said that Chu Zhongtian's trip to Real Madrid is a complete tragedy! Real Madrid is a black hole for stars! People like Kaka don't have good fruits to eat when they go to Real Madrid, can Chu Zhongtian please them? Give us back Kaka Milan! ”
"Seriously agree with the upstairs! How good it is for Chu Zhongtian to come to our Manchester United! Our Manchester United lacks such a midfield commander, and Lord Fu is very good at training players, under his training, Chu Zhongtian will definitely be able to go to the next level. Won't it be easy for him and Manchester United to climb to the top again? ”
…… A group of people have discussed Chu Zhongtian's choice on the Internet, and even Real Madrid fans are complaining about Mourinho's not.
In fact, Chu Zhongtian, who was sitting on the bench, didn't know why he was still sitting on the bench. He felt he had done well in the previous leg, playing only 10 minutes but instigating a goal that extended the score to 3-1 and made the team's second leg away trip more secure. Now Real Madrid is playing more calmly on the field, and he can still stabilize in the face of Barcelona's onslaught, which cannot but be said to have his credit.
In addition, before the game, Mourinho had been praising Chu Zhongtian's performance against Barcelona in front of the news media, and everyone would understand that Mourinho valued Chu Zhongtian's performance in the game against Barcelona and would let him start in the second leg against Barcelona.
But in reality?
Jose Mourinho did not let Chu Zhongtian start, and he continued to sit on the bench.
Chu Zhongtian didn't quite understand. It's hard to understand is really because Mourinho doesn't like himself, so he takes advantage of the current announcement of personal vendettas?
But how could such a narrow-minded man achieve such success from Inter Milan? How can it be that every time you go to a team, you will quickly win the love of all the players. There were many factions in the dressing room at Real Madrid, but when Mourinho arrived, no matter what the faction was, they were all tightly rally around him.
Chu Zhongtian believes in his eyes, and in his usual training, he feels that Mourinho is not the kind of person who is very difficult to get along with. Although he smiled a little less at himself, he didn't deliberately find fault. His team-mates at Real Madrid also spoke of Mourinho with respect.
And if he has a personal vendetta with whom, then he also has a personal vendetta with C. Ronaldo. When the Portuguese played for Manchester United, Jose Mourinho was in charge of Chelsea, and the two sides were direct rivals in the league. Jose Mourinho once criticized C. Ronaldo for faking falls. What now? Ronaldo is the trump card he relies on the most, no one will replace Ronaldo, and no one will rotate him. And he has complained about him many times, thinking that everyone only knows how to protect Messi, but no one says to protect his Portuguese countrymen, you must know that C. Ronaldo must be no less violated than Messi.
Chu Zhongtian couldn't figure it out.
But he has to figure it out because it's about his future at Real Madrid. He didn't come here to be a high-paying bench.
He is not satisfied with one Champions League title either, and after a taste of European champions, he wants to win more. Again and again on top of Europe.
He has to figure out his relationship with Mourinho, whether Mourinho likes him or not.
And there is one thing that needs to be figured out - why did Mourinho put him on the bench in this game?
Is it because you feel that there is too much pressure to play Barcelona away from home, for the purpose of protecting yourself?
Chu Zhongtian didn't feel that he needed protection, his psychological quality was quite strong.
The pressure caused by the expectations of hundreds of millions of people in China has not affected him in any way, so what is the value of tens of thousands of people at Camp Nou?
But does Mourinho know?
Chu Zhongtian felt that Mourinho should be a smart person who was good at observation, and he should be able to see it.
Then there must be some other reason for him to be on the bench in his own house...... What is it?
Mourinho has been sitting in the dugout and has not been on the sidelines to direct the game like Pep Guardiola. Twenty-seven minutes into the game, the score was still 0-0, and Real Madrid led 3-1 on aggregate, which allowed him to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai until now.
Whose credit is this?
Mourinho leaned forward slightly and turned his head to look at the bench.
Chu Zhongtian, who was sitting next to Adebayo and Marcelo, was staring at the court, and he didn't know whether he was watching the game intently or thinking about something.
If he was thinking about something, was he wondering why he was sitting on the bench again?
Think about it. If you can't figure it out, you're just that, Chu.
Jose Mourinho twisted his head back and continued to watch the game.
※※※Chu Zhongtian is still thinking. But his thoughts were soon interrupted - there was a goal on the field.
There was a huge cheer at the Camp Nou, and the Barcelona fans jumped from their positions and cheered with their arms for the team's goal.
The scorer was Pedro, who received a pass from Andres Iniesta on the flank, burst into the box and then slotted the ball past Casillas under a block from Ramos.
"The overall score is 3:2! Barcelona pull one back! ”
"Pedro! Pedro!! ”
"Barcelona take the lead at home! They're just one goal away from it now! ”
The Barcelona players hugged excitedly.
The Real Madrid players held their heads in disappointment.
Casillas was unhappy with the team's defense, and he didn't know what he was talking about. Any goalkeeper would be unhappy with conceding a goal, and he is no exception.
"How can Sergio let Pedro shoot so easily?"
"He missed a man when he was defending......"
"It's understandable, you have to know that Barcelona's penetration in the middle is very strong, and if I were him, I would have held the middle, not defended the wing."
On the bench, everyone was also talking about the goal conceded. For the substitutes, conceding a goal is not necessarily a bad thing. A change in the situation on the pitch means Mourinho has to make some changes. Now that the change is going to be made, there is hope that the people on the bench will play.
Despite the fact that the first half was over all the time, Mourinho did not make any substitutions. He just stood up and yelled on the sidelines to get the players to pay attention to the defense.
In the end, Real Madrid held on to the scoreline, trailing Barcelona by just one goal at half-time, which was a good thing, at least a step up from the two goals they were behind in the first half of last season's national derby.
In fact, that 0:5 is not a reflection of the true strength of the two teams at all, and even Barcelona fans must admit it. If Mourinho hadn't been pressured to play Barcelona at the Camp Nou, the final outcome would have been unpredictable.
However, Mourinho's defeat made the ambitious executives realize how inadequate Real Madrid is to play against Barcelona away from home.
Since then, both Florentino and Madrid's media have not dared to point fingers at Mourinho's tactical arrangements. Looking at it now, it's hard to say whether Mourinho deliberately traded a heavy defeat for more and more time to build the team. If he beats Barcelona on the road, maybe all Real Madrid fans will demand that he lift the Champions League this season. But that was a bit reluctant for Real Madrid...... Now Mourinho has insisted on the strategy of defensive counterattacks at Camp Nou, and whether such a tactic can win or not is not to say, at least it can ensure that they will not lose too ugly.
Relying on defensive counter-attacks, Real Madrid conceded only one goal in the first half, and the score was 0:1, which was not bad.
Mourinho didn't look unhappy when he returned to the dressing room, and even though his team was behind, he still had a smile on his face, reassuring all the Real Madrid players who returned to the dressing room - they knew that the manager would not blame them for falling behind in the first half.
While Jose Mourinho and his players were setting up the second half in the dressing room, Chu Zhongtian was warming up with other Real Madrid substitutes on the pitch.
There are still a lot of people sitting in the stands at Camp Nou, only a small number of people have gone to rest, and behind the goal that Chu Zhongtian warmed up is the stand where a group of extreme Barcelona fans are located, and they are very excited to see Chu Zhongtian. One by one, they put their fingers in their mouths, and then shushed at Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian turned a deaf ear, let them shush, and warmed up normally. Ten minutes later, when we were back in the dressing room, Mourinho had all he had to say and everyone was cheering each other on.
"We'll do it!"
"Beat Barcelona! The Super Bowl is ours! ”
A group of stars with a unique star style in front of fans are shouting shirtless at this time.
This is Real Madrid, and it's not mysterious at all.
Seeing Chu Zhongtian warm up and returning, Gareth. Bell greeted him: "Will you play in the second half, Chu?" Because Chu Zhongtian can also speak English, Bell often communicates with Chu Zhongtian, and the two of them are more familiar. Of course, if you want to know each other, the two people knew each other earlier. In last season's Champions League quarter-finals, Hoffenheim and Tottenham Hotspur were drawn together, and they played each other twice, as a necessary understanding of the opponent, Bale knew Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian also knew Bale.
Speaking of which, Chu Zhongtian is not unfamiliar with Real Madrid. First of all, he played Real Madrid twice last season, and as the most dangerous figure in the Hoffenheim squad, it is only natural that he will be highlighted by Mourinho to the Real Madrid players. He then played against Mesut Ozil, Khedira in the Bundesliga, and Gareth. Bale played in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and while at Hoffenheim, he worked with three former Real Madrid players, namely Metzelde, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Gago, who spoke to him about Real Madrid.
So he didn't have a sense of being a newcomer when he arrived at Real Madrid.
Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I don't know about this. ”
Bell didn't know what to say. He thinks that in terms of strength, Chu Zhongtian's strength is not to say, look at his performance in the Champions League final, the invincible Barcelona can't face him alone, not only in the midfield, can score goals and defend, and even keep the goal in the end. Bell watched that game in front of the TV, and when he saw Chu Zhongtian standing in front of the door wearing goalkeeper gloves, he was already surprised. Later, when I saw that he could still save Pedro's inevitable goal, I was even more shocked that I couldn't close my mouth for a long time.
Later, the media in England commented that Barcelona actually only lost to one person in this final, and that person was Chu Zhongtian.
Such a good guy couldn't even start, but he was able to start at Camp Nou. Bell couldn't figure out why. Do you really want to think about what the outside media said, Mourinho didn't like Chu Zhongtian, so he deliberately didn't give Chu Zhongtian playing time?
But by his observations, Mourinho is not that kind of person...... He couldn't figure it out. At this time, I can only frown and shake my head.
Kaka came up and patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "It's okay, I think you will definitely be able to play in the second half." ”
Because of the first round of the match, Kaka now has a good relationship with Chu Zhongtian. Kaka, C. Ronaldo and Chu Zhongtian are the three most valuable people in the current Real Madrid team, and their relationship is very good, in fact, they have formed a small circle intentionally or unintentionally, Chu Zhongtian is not like a gang, but some factions are not something you don't want to participate in if you don't want to participate.
In the first team of a team, you will always have teammates who have a good relationship and are more speculative, there will be teammates who have a general relationship but can get along with each other, and maybe there will be teammates who have a bad relationship but everything is okay on the surface.
The relationship is better, the more speculative, naturally often together, training together, eating together, and even staying in a hotel, all the same, and over time a small circle is formed.
This is the so-called "where there are people, there are rivers and lakes".
Chu Zhongtian didn't care if he could play in the second half, he now wanted to understand Mourinho's attitude towards him.
The break was brief, and players from both sides walked out of the dressing room and onto the pitch.
Chu Zhongtian walked straight into the bench, and then the other substitute players there sat down together, ready to watch the second half of the game.
The stadium stands at Camp Nou were full of people again, and when Mourinho then appeared in the coach's box, Chu Zhongtian could even clearly hear what the fans were scolding in an impassioned tone, some things in Catalan, Chu Zhongtian couldn't understand, but more of the internationally accepted "**_you" and a high raised middle finger.
Chu Zhongtian also enjoyed such treatment in the Champions League final, and Mourinho did not seem to take these insults to heart at all. He stood on the sidelines, with Barcelona fans constantly raising their middle fingers behind him and the game in progress in front of him.
The ability of such a man to withstand pressure is not trivial...... Chu Zhongtian found that he was not very interested in the game on the field, but was more interested in Mourinho.
