“…… There are some of the brightest stars in the world and the greatest clubs! Real madrid! Barcelona! Messi! Cristiano Ronaldo! Kaka! Villa! and our ...... Chu Zhongtian! The world's most star-studded matchups are played here at least twice a season...... Spanish National Derby! This time there will be our Chinese figures......"

CCTV's new La Liga season promotional video has been bombarded with various advertising slots on the sports channel for more than a week, and all the viewers who often follow the sports channel will know that the promotional video is out again as soon as they hear the familiar music sound. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, no one is bored with this, because they, like the editors of the sports channel, are looking forward to the arrival of the new La Liga season.

For La Liga fans, it is only natural that they are not looking forward to the arrival of the new La Liga season. But this year is different, this year there are a lot of fans who didn't watch La Liga much before, and they plan to stay up late in front of the TV or computer from this year to watch the live broadcast of La Liga games.

It's all because of one person, Chu Zhongtian.

For the sake of Chu Zhongtian, CCTV even decided to arrange a special film crew, based in Madrid, to follow up and report on Chu Zhongtian. After every Real Madrid game, a film has to be edited and sent back to Beijing, which includes various news of Chu Zhongtian and a close-up of the game, etc...... In short, even Yao Ming, a former leader in Chinese sports and a player in the Rockets of the American Professional Men's Basketball League, has never enjoyed such treatment.

This may be the reason why Yao Ming has never won a championship with the Rockets...... Chu Zhongcai is twenty-seven years old, and he has already won other influential championships in addition to the World Cup - league championship, domestic cup championship, league cup championship, Champions Cup championship, and Asian Cup championship...... Chu Zhongtian's personal honors are all golden championship trophies.

That's why so many people in China are paying attention to him. If he's a loser, a team that is always in the middle and lower leagues of Europe's second-tier leagues, or first-class leagues, then no one will pay so much attention to him. There are also many Chinese players abroad, but no one has ever received such attention and treatment from him.

Competitive sports are a cruel world of winning and losing. Not just football, basketball, table tennis, the Olympics, the Asian Games, the National Games...... It's all like this. Athletes who have trained hard for four years but have not won a gold medal at the Olympics will be questioned by reporters: "Do you feel sorry for the country's training when you lost the gold medal at the last moment?" "Athletes who win gold medals are not only welcomed back to their hometowns, but also have material rewards from the local government and sports bureaus, such as cash, a house, and a car...... Wait a minute. And those athletes who can't even win silver and bronze medals are naturally unknown, they spend their youth and end up getting nothing...... No, if you get an injury and then retire, if you are lucky, you can still do the work in the local sports association, and if you are unlucky, you can fend for yourself.

Chu Zhongtian is lucky, very, very lucky, and even lucky to make people a little jealous.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian does not need to be responsible for those problems in the system, he only needs to manage himself and be responsible for himself.

The new La Liga season is just around the corner, and Real Madrid's opponent in the first round is Osasuna. It's not a very strong team and narrowly escaped relegation last season. But the team did a 1-0 home win over Real Madrid last season and caused an upset.

Although many people think that there are only two teams in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona, these two teams are super strong, and the other teams are foils, and they cannot pose any threat to the La Liga duo at all. But that's not the case. Even teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona can lose if they go to someone else's home stadium and are not careful. Barcelona have also lost to Hercules on their home turf.

So every game has to be prepared carefully, and whenever Real Madrid think their opponents can easily win, they will always get into trouble in the game.

After all, for the weak team that is not as strong as them, it is natural to lose, but even if it can be drawn, it is worth their cheers and celebrations, and it is their glorious moment. Every team is hungry for brilliance, so when they meet Real Madrid or Barcelona, they will be more energetic than usual. That excitement can be a problem for both big teams.

Jose Mourinho definitely doesn't want to lose in the first round, knowing that the first round was away to Osasuna, who they lost 1-0 to last season.

The intensity of training has not increased over the past few days, but has decreased. After two months of pre-season training, it's time to relax a bit, and Mourinho doesn't want injuries in his squad. This season is better than last season, and before the league started last season, Real Madrid almost injured the central defender and had to buy Carvalho to save the emergency.

Mourinho has been very mindful of injuries to his players this season, so so so there have been no injuries that would have sidelined players for weeks.

※※※Tomorrow is the game, the team has left Madrid and arrived in Pamplona, the capital of the autonomous community of Navarra, where the Osasuna club is located.

The good news is that Chu Zhongtian was selected for the eighteen-man squad, and the news is that he is still not in the starting list. Despite his impressive performance in the Spanish Super Cup, it still seems that he has not been able to earn a place in Mourinho's heart.

Chu Zhongtian didn't bother to think about what Mourinho thought about, anyway, he trained seriously every day, and then waited for the opportunity. What about playing as a substitute? Anyway, as long as you come on as a substitute every time, you can seize the opportunity, and you don't have to worry about the day when you don't start. Just make yourself a starter...... Hey, it's hard for anyone to get themselves off the bench anymore.

Jose Mourinho announced his starting XI after the team arrived in Pamplona. The eleven players who played Real Madrid's first game of the new season were goalkeeper Casillas; Central defenders Carvalho and Pepe, left wing-back Marcelo, right wing-back Sergio. Ramos; The midfielders are Alonso and Khedira, the three defenders are C. Ronaldo, Kaka and Mesut Ozil, and the forward is Higuain.

The starting line-up from last season was basically the same, except for Kaka, who replaced Di Maria.

Kaka relied on his outstanding performances in two Super Cup games to squeeze out Di Maria and become the starter. But Chu Zhongtian, who also performed well, failed to start, which made the Chinese media very upset for him.

As soon as the news that Chu Zhongtian did not start came out, the expectations of Chinese fans for this game naturally dropped. Not to mention the fans, even the people on CCTV's sports channel, which was in charge of broadcasting the game, found it particularly boring.

Who knows if Chu Zhongtian can play this game? What's the use of being on it for only 10 minutes? Everyone stayed up until three or four o'clock just to enjoy Chu Zhongtian's ten-minute performance.

"What's wrong with Mourinho? Again and again against our family every day! ”

"What's so good about moving to Real Madrid just to be a substitute? I only saw the scenery of the wealthy family but I didn't see the cruelty of the wealthy family, look, look, Chu Zhongtian just fell into the quagmire......"

"I still believe in Lin Danda and the magic bird! The two of them will one day understand each other and understand that the other person is the one they need the most......"

"Good upstairs!"

"If Real Madrid dares to let our family Lin Dan sit on the bench, I will support Barcelona to blow them up 5:0 every day!"

…… The night before the game, Emily called Chu Zhongtian.

"I heard that you didn't make the starting list, I came to comfort and comfort you, don't cry!" Emily made a serious joke about Chu Zhongtian.

"Hey!" Chu Zhongtian rolled his eyes when he heard Emily's words.

"Haha!" Emily laughed happily on the other end of the phone.

After laughing, she suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Chu." I can't be with you. ”

"Just pay attention to rest, don't worry about me." Chu Zhongtian remembered for a short time that when he was still playing at Wimbledon, the manager at that time Eames warned himself when he was about to leave the team and transfer to Chelsea: "No matter what team you go to in the future, don't think that you can still be the core, start from scratch, start from a substitute substitute." So no matter what problems you encounter, you must keep your mind calm, don't think that you are famous, you should play the main team in any team, you should be the core, and you should be the focus of everyone's attention......"

He feels that he has had a smooth life in the past few years, from Metz to Hoffenheim, he is the main force and core of course, and he has almost forgotten the taste of struggle. He's a bit of a bit of a sitting, but at Real Madrid he has to start over.

It's not a big deal, although there are a lot of comments on the Internet about his transfer to Real Madrid and he can only be used as a substitute, but he didn't take it to heart. For him, it might be a good thing to be a substitute at Real Madrid...... Zidane was right, he was going to start a new way of football. The reason why he came to Real Madrid by giving up the core guarantee that was logical in the past is not because it is possible to win more trophies in this kind of team. Since it is for more championships, it is normal to make some sacrifices yourself.

Therefore, don't look at the argument outside about whether he should start or substitute, it is already very loud, but Chu Zhongtian himself is very calm.

If this is Chu Zhongtian who came out of Metz, he will definitely not be able to accept such a status quo, clamoring for a transfer and the main position. After all, he was the well-deserved core of Metz at that time, the whole team revolved around him, and he was like the sun. The spirit is high, I feel that I have won the UEFA Cup, and also defeated AC Milan with Kaka in the European Super Cup, I should go to a team to be the core and the main force, if I dare to let myself start from the bench, I will definitely leave. There is no place to stay here.

But after a few years, Chu Zhongtian, who has grown in age, has taken it lightly, he has made money and doesn't know how many billions, do you still care about such a little storm? The arrival of the Champions League did not allow him to put up the shelf, but let him know the measure.

Twenty-seven-year-old and almost twenty-eight-year-old Chu Zhongtian has truly matured.

"Speaking of which, will you play tomorrow, and if so, how long will it be......" Emily guessed on the other end of the phone, in fact, she was in the same mood as ordinary fans, that is, eager to see Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance on the field. Emily is not a fan of Real Madrid, she has no interest in Real Madrid, if it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, she wouldn't have watched Real Madrid's games. As a Wimbledon native, she only has one team that she will always support in her life, and that is the "Crazy Gang", now Wimbledon.

"I'm not Mourinho, how do I know......" Chu Zhongtian felt that Emily was stupid to ask this question.

"Ugh......" Emily sighed. She wasn't worried that Chu Zhongtian wouldn't be able to play in the future, she just regretted that she wouldn't be able to enjoy more of Chu Zhongtian's games tomorrow.

"If the team has a hard time, maybe he'll think of me." Chu Zhongtian thought for a while and said.

The team had difficulties in the game and definitely needed to make some changes, and if the midfield had to make changes, he would definitely be the first choice. Now there are only three real midfielders in the midfield, Khedira, Alonso and himself, and if you want to change the midfield, you can only change yourself. And having both offense and defense has a double effect on changing the situation on the field, which can not only enhance the offense, but also strengthen the defense, and such a well-rounded player will not lack opportunities to play...... Chu Zhongtian imitated in his mind the idea that a head coach should have, what he would do if he was a head coach and encountered a situation. This is what he often does, especially when he was in Hoffenheim, when Emily was not often around, she was always in the United States, or somewhere, when she was bored, Chu Zhongtian played this game, imitated the head coach, and guessed their thoughts and practices from the head coach's point of view. The game is a form of exercise that helps him to make the most accurate and effective judgments in the very short time he is on the field, and he can become a midfield commander more than simply by instinct.

"Then I'll have to expect your team to get in trouble from the first minute of the game, haha!" Emily laughed mischievously.

In her smug laughter, Chu Zhongtian rolled his eyes again...... "Crow's beak ......" Chu Zhongtian muttered in his heart.

Yesterday on the phone Emily said that she was expecting the team to be in trouble, and now she is in trouble.

The Navarra Kingdom Stadium was buzzing with people, and Osasuna fans were singing to announce their superiority.

In the fifteenth minute, Osasuna seized on a carelessness from Real Madrid to score the first goal of the game.

Real Madrid are behind away from home!

"Oh...... Oh! Pandiani!! A brilliant counterattack! After Real Madrid conceded a goal in midfield, they were hit by the opponent with a quick counterattack! Casillas didn't even have time to organize the defense...... They conceded the ball too suddenly, and Osasuna's attack was too fast! Pass the two feet to the front of the door! ”

Pandiani was celebrating with his team-mates, while the Real Madrid players stood in the middle of the pitch in a daze, conceding a goal in the first 15 minutes, something they hadn't expected.

In fact, Osasuna is not without the possibility of scoring, they relied on home advantage to launch a ferocious press on Real Madrid from the beginning of the game, Real Madrid players can hardly stop the ball properly, the opponent's foot always reaches the Real Madrid player who receives the ball with the football, as long as the slightest delay, you can fall into a siege.

This is one of the ways that many teams deal with Real Madrid, using ferocious pressing to make Real Madrid unable to organize an effective attack, so that Real Madrid players fall into the anxiety of constantly conceding goals, so that Real Madrid's offensive rhythm is always interrupted, so that they can't even play 50% of their usual ability.

The goal conceded by the Real Madrid midfielder just now was actually caused by Osasuna's relentless pressing. At that time, Harvey. Alonso controlled the ball in the middle, keeping the ball at his feet as usual and then looking around, ready to find a route and space to pass the ball. At the same time, in order to control the football under his feet, he made a 360-degree turn, intending to protect the football in front of him. And in the process, his ball was broken...... Khedira rushed to the front, so he didn't have time to chase back in the first place.

Osasuna's tactics are clear, as soon as the ball is broken in midfield, they will immediately pass the ball out, and there will be no delay at their feet.

It was a successful tactic and Real Madrid were stunned by their quick counter-attack, falling behind on the road just fifteen minutes into the game.

Mourinho jumped up from his seat before turning around and slapping the roof of the dugout. You could tell he was angry about the goal.

When Pandiani shot the ball into Casillas' goal, poor Casillas didn't even touch the football, and he stared back at the ball in the net with a sad face, much to the heart of any Real Madrid fan who saw his expression.

But in front of the TV, one of the people jumped up and shouted, "Yay!! ”

That person is Emily. Stan.

Because she was out of town, she couldn't go to watch the game live, and she could only watch the game in her hotel room, and she jumped for joy when she saw Osasuna score.

Now that the team is in trouble, the odds of her husband Chu Zhongtian appearing will be greatly improved!

So she raised her arms and cheered, as if she were the fans of Osasuna.

The narrator's voice came from the TV: "The new season of the Galacticos Real Madrid, which cost 120 million euros this summer, started with such a situation, they fell behind 0-1 at home in Osasuna! Many of Real Madrid's stars didn't even have time to show off their amazing skills......"
