Chapter 33: The Clus of the Matter

readx;

Real Madrid finally welcomed a strong opponent in the third round of the league - Sevilla, and from this round, Real Madrid will have a "devil's schedule", and the opponents are all stronger teams in La Liga: Valencia in the fourth round, Deportivo La Coruna in the fifth round, Villarreal in the sixth round, Atletico Madrid in the seventh round, and Athletic Bilbao in the eighth round. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If they want to win the league title at the end of the season, they can't afford to lose to these opponents.

Against Sevilla, Jose Mourinho announced the starting line-up a day earlier, and Kaka was on the list!

In fact, in terms of Kaka's attitude in training, it was not a surprise that he got the start, he really worked hard in training.

And Mourinho has always cared a lot about the training attitude of the players, so it is not surprising that Kaka got the start.

But the reality is delicate, there were rumors some time ago that Kaka may have to leave Real Madrid, and Mourinho arranged for him to start, is there any connection to this?

There has been a lot of speculation from the outside world, and some people believe that Kaka's father's coercion strategy has been effective, and it turns out that only crying children have milk. Some people also believe that this is Mourinho's strategy to raise the price in order to be able to sell for a good price in the transfer market at that time, let Kaka play, show the sellers what the player is capable of, and attract offers from clubs interested in Kaka.

Regardless, Kaka himself is happy to start.

He feels like his body has returned to normal and it's time for him to have more game time to find his game feeling. It's not okay to sit on the bench all the time.

At the same time that Kaka got the start, Chu Zhongtian also continued to start.

He didn't know what Mourinho's intention was to start him and Kaka at the same time. Alonso is already training with the team. The team doctor said that if all went well, he could be back in the next Champions League group game. He was coming back a few days sooner than he had expected.

There must be a reason for Chu Zhongtian in this.

Chu Zhongtian performed better than one game after another, and Alonso was worried that if he really rested enough for a month and then returned, the team would have no place for him...... and the team arrived in Sevilla a day early for field adaptation training. When assigning hotel rooms, Kaka and Chu Zhongtian were separated.

In the past, Kaka was in a room with Marcelo, or Portuguese-speaking players such as Pepe and C. Ronaldo. But this time there is nothing surprising, because Chu Zhongtian can also speak Portuguese, and it is not a problem for the two of them to communicate.

Kaka was so interested in the game that on the eve of the game he rejected the advice of Marcelo, C. Ronaldo and others to invite him to play Pro Evolution Soccer and chose to pray alone in his hotel room, hoping to get strength from God.

Kaka didn't go, and Chu Zhongtian was pulled by them to make up the numbers.

In the end, Chu Zhongtian and C. Ronaldo had a draw, and the two abused Marcelo.

Chu Zhongtian, who returned to the room, found that Kaka was still praying.

He didn't bother Ka Ah, but went to wash up himself.

When he came back from washing, he found Kaka sitting on the bed watching him.

He smiled at Kaka, "Are you going to wash?" ”

Kaka nodded, jumped out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

Chu Zhongtian turned on the TV, then lay down on the bed, and pressed the remote control to find the program he was interested in.

Although it is in Spain, you can usually receive foreign programs in high-end hotels. Chu Zhongtian wanted to see if there was any report about the Bundesliga, and he was looking for a German TV station.

I searched for a long time and didn't find it, there is a German TV station, but it shows a documentary...... Later, he simply threw the remote control aside and looked casually.

After Kaka finished washing, he came out of the bathroom and saw Chu Zhongtian watching TV, and also glanced at the TV screen and found that it was an advertisement.

"Hey, Ricardo."

Kaka turned to look at Chu Zhongtian.

"There are rumors out there that you're leaving Real Madrid, is that true?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

Kaka shook his head: "It's just a rumor, I never wanted to leave here before my contract expired." I'm going to ...... Well, prove yourself. ”

"But I don't think you need to prove anything, you've won the World Cup, you've won the European Champions Cup, you've won the European Ballon d'Or, the World Footballer of the Year...... What else do you need to prove? ”

"Prove that I have not fallen." Kaka replied.

"How's your body?"

"I think it's okay anymore." Kaka lifted his leg.

"I still remember when you were at AC Milan......" Chu Zhongtian recalled. At that time, you feel unstoppable. Remember, we fought once? ”

Kaka nodded: "UEFA Super Cup, we lost to you." To be honest, I didn't have any impression of you before, but you blew my mind at that game. ”

Chu Zhongtian smiled and scratched his head: "Hehe." You were running 70 meters with the ball, and I was chasing after you, and I had to do my best to catch up with you, and you seemed to be at ease. But in the end I did get your shot out, you know? I was lying on the ground, happy not to get up. Because I blocked the shot of Kaka, who is the best in the world. ”

With that, he turned to look at Kaka.

Kaka smiled a little bitterly. The so-called number one in the world, that belongs to the past.

"I used to search YouTube for videos of you playing football. I especially like the way you slam the ball behind you, then turn around and wipe away from the opponent and stride forward. I can't learn...... I had to keep my headband down with the ball. Then you came to Real Madrid and you didn't behave like that again......"

Kaka didn't know how to answer, so he had to shrug his shoulders: "I've always been plagued by injuries. ”

"Not really." Chu Zhongtian suddenly stared at Kaka, and his tone must have been said.

Kaka was a little surprised.

Injuries have long been blamed for Kaka's poor performances at Real Madrid. It was the groin injury that affected him, because he couldn't exert his strength during the run, and he didn't dare to fight physically with his opponents, so he rarely had the kind of picture of running long distances after taking the ball after Real Madrid, and falling to the ground immediately after being hit by the opponent. The injury also affected his performance with the Brazilian national team, and the World Cup in South Africa was nothing short of disastrous for him.

He later had to undergo surgery and missed almost the entire season.

Initially, the team doctor and people in the media were optimistic that as long as the injury recovered, Kaka would be able to show the familiar side. But now the situation is not so developed, it stands to reason that it has been a year and a half after the surgery, and in the second half of last season, to be on the safe side, Kaka did not even play a few games, and his body should have recovered a long time ago.

But why can't he find the feeling he used to have?

"Ricardo, I ask you a question, and you must answer me seriously. What type of forward do you think you are? Offensive or scoring? Is it a classical midfielder or a forward midfielder that is more in line with modern football? Are you good at passing or shooting? Is your main role to attack the opponent's defense, or to mobilize the opponent's defense? ”

Kaka lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said to Chu Zhongtian: "If you want to ask me what type of forward midfielder I am, I think I am quite difficult to locate." I'm not playmaker, but I can pass and assist my team-mates. I'm not a scorer, but I can score on my own. I'm certainly not a classical midfielder, the classical midfielder is like Riquelme, I'm not, and even Mesut Ozil is more of a classical midfielder than me. ”

Chu Zhongtian nodded: "I don't think you're the kind of forward who takes the ball and organizes scheduling." Even though you're in the midfield, I think you're more of a second striker, you have a great ability to score, you're not good at getting past a few guys in a small area, but your high-speed dribbling is unbeatable. But you seem to have taken on too many responsibilities at Real Madrid that shouldn't have been on your shoulders, so you didn't perform as well as you did at AC Milan......"

Chu Zhongtian analyzed Kaka's problem, in fact, this was also the result of Chu Zhongtian thinking about it for many days. He just likes to think about nothing, and he also thinks it would be a shame if Kaka couldn't win praise at Real Madrid. You must know that you used to see him as a target to chase after, how could you watch your target fall to the ground?

"Were you the playmaker of the attack when you were at AC Milan, Ricciardo?"

Kaka thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, there is only one person in the organizer of AC Milan, it is Pirlo. ”

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "You see, when you are in AC Milan, you don't need to organize an attack, so you don't need to stand and get the ball frequently and then think about where to pass the football." You can make the most of your speed, sharpness with the ball, and strong impact. But at Real Madrid, nobody does that for you...... Maybe it's because you feel like you're a midfielder and should be responsible for organising the attack? ”

Kaka had to admit that what Chu Zhongtian said was very reasonable, he had never thought so before, but today let Chu Zhongtian say it. Yes, when he was at AC Milan he never thought about organising the attack, leading the whole team and so on, he just had to charge. Andrea Pirlo is the brain of AC Milan, and he is Milan's fist.

But when Real Madrid came, he seemed to feel that he should be the core of Real Madrid's midfield, to be a brain. But in fact, his style of play is not the type of brain, once he slows down his speed and takes the ball on the spot, his threat is much smaller, and it is much easier for the opponent to defend himself.

He nodded, acknowledging that Chu Zhongtian's statement was correct.

"Actually, you don't need to take so much responsibility on your shoulders, you just need to play your own characteristics, don't think about the rest, how to organize the attack, how to mobilize the whole team, how to make the opponent's defense line flawed...... Don't think about any of that. Don't believe you try tomorrow's game to see if things get better? ”

After Chu Zhongtian finished speaking, he didn't continue to speak, he believed that Kaka was a smart person and knew what he should do. If you talk too much, you seem to look down on others.

Kaka didn't say anything more, Chu Zhongtian's words tonight gave him a lot of shock and inspiration, and he needed time to digest and understand.

Nothing was said all night.

β€»β€»β€» Judging from Mourinho's starting lineup arrangement, his thoughts seem to be the same as Chu Zhongtian.

Because instead of replacing Ozil with Kaka, he replaced Di Maria with Kaka.

It's always said that Kaka can't coexist with Mesut Ozil because they are both in midfield. But in fact, Kaka's best years at AC Milan were mainly on the wing. He's not really a striker.

Kaka's position in the starting line-up for this game was right wing-back, but this is just a picture of the line-up. In fact, his position is very flexible, not only him, but also C. Ronaldo and Ozil's positions are not fixed, although Ronaldo is more active on the left side, but he can also switch positions with Kaka, because Kaka is also used to playing here.

Mesut Ozil, on the other hand, runs back and forth between the left, the centre and the right in the race, with a considerable range of motion.

β€»β€»β€»Chu Zhongtian is no stranger to Sevilla, and the first European championship he won was snatched from Sevilla. His performance in that game was as impressive as the Champions League final. It's just that the influence of the League Cup is not as good as that of the Champions League, so Chu Zhongtian was only famous at that time.

Sevilla has changed a lot from the Sevilla side of the past. The full-back Alves, who attacked him with Keylor Navas, has gone to Barcelona and is thriving at the Camp Nou. Left wing-back Adriano also went to Barcelona and became a qualified rotation player.

As for the other full-back, Puerta, he unfortunately lost his life due to heart disease.

Defender Paulsen went to Juventus and later to Liverpool.

However, Keylor Navas, Fabiano and Canute are all still in the squad.

And in today's game, Fabiano and Keylor Navas started the game, and Canute has been reduced to a substitute. He was once a fearsome all-round centre-forward in the Spanish league. Now he is thirty-four years old, and he is quite old.

The centre-forward who is now partnered with Fabiano in Sevilla is former Real Madrid centre-forward Negredo.

The centre-forward, who was played and abandoned by Real Madrid, is always the strongest against Real Madrid. Although Sevilla is also a strong team in La Liga, being swept away by Real Madrid is still Negredo's hate.

Therefore, every time he plays Real Madrid, he is very energetic, hoping to break through Real Madrid's goal and prove to Real Madrid how wrong it is to give up on him.

This time was no exception.

As soon as the game began, Negredo found an opportunity to shoot from outside.

Soccer rubs out. The Real Madrid fans were shocked into a cold sweat, and the Sevilla fans at home were excited.

The Estadio PizjuΓ‘n was filled with a frenetic atmosphere, sweeping in like a heat wave, encroaching and engulfing Real Madrid players.

Normally, teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona can dominate on their home turf, but when they come to the home stadium of Sevilla, Valencia, Athletic Bilbao and Espanyol, they will have a headache because the atmosphere at home is very good - this is good for the home team, and it is scary for the away team.

As one of the few teams in the league that has the opportunity to threaten two traditional giants, Sevilla have the quality to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona on their home turf.

Not to mention that Sevilla already have a grudge against Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid. In the semi-finals of last season's Copa del Rey, Sevilla FC made a video attacking Real Madrid, which ended with the words "We're going to leave you without a title" (vamos_deixar-te_sem_titulo). However, Sevilla is just a counterattack, because in the 16th round of last season, after Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 1-0, Mourinho once held a piece of paper with the thirteen questions committed by the referee of this game and read it out at a press conference. The grievances between the two sides are even earlier than that. When Manzano had just taken over from Alvarez as the head coach of Sevilla, a reporter asked Mourinho what he thought of Manzano coaching Sevilla, and Mourinho replied very directly: "Who is Manzano?" I do not know. "Manzano is no stranger in Spanish football, having been voted La Liga Manager of the Year in 2008 and led a small team like Mallorca to the Europa League, only to be unable to compete in European competitions due to the club's financial problems. He also led the team to a 10-game winning streak at home in Mallorca. In Spanish football, he has the title of "Zhiduo Star".

With these beams in place, it's no surprise that the game was fierce.

Sevilla manager Manzano doesn't want Osasuna's Getafe boss to give Chu Zhongtian too much space. He found that the reason why Getafe lost was because they cared too much about Ozil in midfield, but not enough to mark Chu Zhongtian.

He is very keenly aware that Chuzhong's genius is the brain and core of today's Real Madrid. C. Ronaldo, although he has scored a lot of goals and has unlimited scenery, is at most a sharp knife in terms of tactics and strategy.

Therefore, if you want to gnaw the hard bone of Real Madrid at home in this game, you must curb Chu Zhongtian's play.

Sevilla fans must not have forgotten that Chu Zhongtian once robbed them of the League Cup, because as soon as Chu Zhongtian got the ball, there would be a loud boo at the Pizjuan Stadium.

At first, some of the Chinese reporters who came with the team didn't quite understand -- these people either had only been with Chu Zhongtian in the last two years, or they were not academically proficient, and they didn't even know that Chu Zhongtian had snatched the League Cup from Sevilla.

Later, under the explanation of their peers, they finally understood why Sevilla fans were so hostile to Chu Zhongtian.

The hostility of the Sevilla fans also surprised the Real Madrid coaches - they obviously didn't know much about Chu Zhongtian's past.

Only Chu Zhongtian turned a deaf ear to the boos.

He didn't care what the Sevilla fans booed him for, he listened to the boos and so much that his ears were calloused.

These boos could not affect him at all.

He is now patiently tangling with Sevilla midfielder Romaric in search of an attacking opportunity.
