Chapter 18: Kaka
readx;
Chu Zhongtian's appearance caused a burst of cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium, and the Bernabéu fans' love for Chu Zhongtian was purely because Chu Zhongtian led Hoffenheim to victory over Barcelona. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info You must know that when Hoffenheim and Real Madrid played, Chu Zhongtian would hear boos at the Bernabeu when he got the ball.
Now that the former enemy has become a teammate, there is no need for boos or anything.
It's strange that fans sometimes like a player because of a little thing, even if the player doesn't play well and isn't famous.
Chu Zhongtian knew why these fans were cheering for him. But he didn't like it, like when he was in Metz, there were some fans who supported him because he was serious in training and never refused to ask for autographs and photos.
But Chu Zhongtian didn't like this, he wanted his fans to support him because of his good performance on the field, not something outside of football.
He is first and foremost a player who attracts the audience by playing football, not a clown who relies on scandals, scandals, and news off the field to attract attention.
Although Chu Zhongtian is a person who starts a company and has a net worth of more than one billion yuan among the players, everyone's impression of him is more on the football field, and not many people talk about his earning ability.
This has always been something that Chu Zhongtian is proud of.
After Chu Zhongtian, who was on the field, conveyed the defensive message to the whole team, he came to his position - the back.
His goal is not to contain Messi, but to defend the middle, whether it is Messi, Xavi or Iniesta, they will always return to the middle.
As soon as they settled down, Barcelona launched an offensive. Xavi raced forward with the ball and, after seeing Khedira, he split the ball on the wing. Messi received the ball on the flank and then made a feint to cut in, and Marcelo, who was responsible for defending him, was easily deceived by him. Then Messi dribbled the ball to the bottom, and then made a fake cross, deceived the central defender Carvalho who came up to make up for the defense, and Messi burst into the penalty area!
"Messi! Broke through, pretty! ”
Chu Zhongtian watched Messi burst into the penalty area, and he rushed straight up.
Messi, who was bowing his head and dribbling the ball, suddenly felt the danger, and he didn't have time to look up, so he swept the football directly to the middle. The somewhat rushed cross was saved by Casillas straight to the ground.
At this time, Messi had time to look up to see who the dangerous feeling came from - he saw Chu Zhongtian.
In fact, he only saw Chu Zhongtian's back, because Chu Zhongtian had already turned around and ran back when he crossed.
Messi was a little surprised at first, he was familiar with Chu Zhongtian's No. 8 in the Champions League final, and he has always associated the number 8 with Chu Zhongtian. But after coming to Real Madrid, Chu Zhongtian's number became No. 10, which made him not react. It wasn't until he saw the name on Chu Zhongtian's number that he found out that this was Chu Zhongtian.
It seems that that sense of crisis comes from him...... In the next game, Barcelona tried very hard to score. The Super Cup is a two-legged home-and-away format, and it also depends on away goals.
If Barcelona can score twice at the Bernabeu, it will go a long way in helping them get back to home.
Despite losing to Hoffenheim in the Champions League, the Barcelona players still have a psychological advantage against Real Madrid players, especially on their own home turf. The 5-0 win over Real Madrid was truly memorable.
However, Real Madrid's defense is very tightly organized, coupled with another midfielder Chu Zhongtian, Real Madrid's central defense is almost leakless. Even if Barcelona crosses from the wing, it will be pushed out. Barcelona's forwards are generally short and they don't have an advantage when it comes to the ball.
Chu Zhongtian had a successful header clearance, which made the Chinese fans waiting in front of the computer excited. However, it is a pity that they did not see Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance in the offense, after all, in the past few years, Chu Zhongtian has relied more on his outstanding performance in the offense to make everyone remember.
Helplessly, the tactical requirements limited Chu Zhongtian's play in this game. Mourinho apparently didn't give him more freedom.
※※※ Rangnick watched the game in front of the TV, and Chu Zhongtian only appeared in the last ten minutes, and he was basically on the defensive. He knew it was tactical. It seems that Mourinho does not intend to make him a free man of the kind in Hoffenheim.
Rangnick shook his head with some regret. He was accustomed to being a free man Chu Zhongtian, and he always felt that such a Chu Zhongtian was a little shrunken, perhaps because of the adaptive sacrifices that had to be made when he came to a new environment. But it's still a pity.
※※※Everyone is expecting Chu Zhongtian to show his talent in attack, even the Spanish commentator: "Chu has been defending, it seems that Mourinho asked him. He didn't go against the manager's will, and you can see that he is a player who cares about the big picture. But it's always a pity......"
But how can a player who came out of Hoffenheim endure defending all the time without attacking?
Chu Zhongtian has been observing, although Mourinho has not asked for this, he is also observing the other party's loopholes. Barcelona's intent to score was clear, with their two full-backs constantly plugging in and leaving plenty of space behind. It's just that Real Madrid shrinks its defense, and even people like C. Ronaldo need to defend back, and there is no guarantee that they will rush up at any time.
In the 91st minute, Barcelona attacked again, Xavi was tangled by Alonso and Khedira at the same time, and he desperately dodged a gap before passing the ball.
Chu Zhongtian took a step forward and rushed up, just stuck in the route of his pass. Xavi's football was passed directly to Chu Zhongtian's feet!
Seeing this scene, the Barcelona fans in the stands let out a burst of exclamations.
"Chu!!"
Chu Zhongtian took the football forward, as if he was going to break through the middle and drive straight in, but as soon as he took two steps, he kicked out the long diagonal pass of the football foot!
He didn't look up the whole time. But this kick is still very accurate!
He played the ball straight to the left, right in front of Kaka!
Such a pass can take full advantage of Kaka's speed, allowing him to catch the ball in a sprint situation.
When the ball was cut off by Real Madrid, Kaka was in front of him and, as is customary, he ran forward, ready to receive a pass that could come at any moment. With no Barcelona player in front of him, he thinks it's a good opportunity, but he's not sure his team-mates will be able to get the ball over quickly.
Here comes the ball!
Kaka Acceleration!
"Kaka-"
How long has it been since the Bernabeu fans have seen Kaka take the ball and drive straight into the stadium, running for dozens of meters, dribbling the ball like the wind and being as chic and excited?
They never saw it.
But today, they saw it!
That Kaka in AC Milan is wearing Real Madrid's No. 8 shirt and is rushing forward with the ball!
Benzema followed up at high speed in the middle, but when it comes to the level of tacit understanding with Kaka, it is clear that there are people above him.
C. Ronaldo accelerated from the right flank and sprinted diagonally into the box, and from the moment he started, he was ahead of almost everyone, and the Portuguese started when Chu Zhongtian passed the football to Kaka.
Kaka raced down the flanks and looked up at the middle where the Barcelona defenders were hastily withdrawing and Ronaldo had already hit the penalty line.
He didn't cross right away, he suddenly changed the line and cut inside!
This completely disrupted Barcelona's defense, and the Barcelona players thought that Kaka would definitely pass the ball to C. Ronaldo, so they didn't save Kaka at the first time. Anyway, these two seasons have proved that Kaka has not been able to return to the state of duty, his dribbling on the subfield has no impact at all, as long as he makes physical contact with the opponent, he will fall to the ground, coupled with his good relationship with C. Ronaldo, who will he pass to if he does not pass to Ronaldo?
Barcelona was originally in a hurry to return to the defense, and there were not many defensive players, so it was natural to focus on defending C. Ronaldo, who was more threatening.
Unexpectedly, Kaka actually cut inside, as if he wanted to hit the door.
Chu Zhongtian smiled when he saw Kaka's choice in the back.
If there is anyone in the current Real Madrid team who can not pass the ball to Ronaldo in front of the goal, shoot on his own without being complained and held grudges by Ronaldo, then it is only Kaka.
"Kaka - Kaka bursts into the box!"
Piqui and Puyol pounced at the same time, and it was only then that they remembered that Kaka was once the world footballer who let their Messi chase after him but couldn't catch up!
When Kaka is changing gears, his hands will keep waving, as soft as bones, like willows swaying gently in the wind, and it really looks like he is dancing.
Now he is dancing gracefully in the penalty area of Barcelona and grabs everyone's attention. Then he jerked the ball between Piqué and Puyol!
"Ronaldo!! gooooooooooooooooooooooool!!! ”
3:1, Real Madrid sealed the win!
C. Ronaldo looked happy after the goal, he made a celebratory gesture to Kaka, and Kaka pounced. The two men hugged each other tightly in front of the Barcelona door.
Chu Zhongtian and the rest of his teammates also ran up. Harvey. Alonso stopped Chu Zhongtian: "Chu! ”
Chu Zhongtian turned his head to look, and Alonso stretched out his hand to him.
The two high-fived each other.
His career at Real Madrid seemed to get off to a good start...... and in the end, Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 on their home turf to end last season's winless streak against Barcelona. The performance of the last ball Kaka was brilliant, and many Spanish media outlets were chanting "the best Kaka is coming back".
However, Kaka thanked Chu Zhongtian in the locker room after the game, because it was Chu Zhongtian's accurate passing that gave full play to his speed advantage, gave him the opportunity to show his speed, and made many people see the scene they wanted to see the most.
"Pass beautifully, Chu!" Kaka gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up.
For the past season, he has been living with anxiety. He is carrying a sky-high transfer fee of 65 million euros, but his performance is not as good as that of a 15 million Ozil, and he is always compared to Ozil by the media, thinking that he is already going downhill, and he is going quite fast. Mesut Ozil is the future of Real Madrid, and Kaka had better hurry up or else he will rot in his own hands.
Rumours that he is going to be purged by Real Madrid have never stopped, and whenever he doesn't perform as well as he wants, the media will focus on the news that he has been included in the Real Madrid purge list and that major clubs are interested in Kaka, Chelsea, Inter Milan and AC Milan, and even Sao Paulo, Cruzeiro and Corinthians in Brazil have become the teams chasing Kaka.
Even Kaka himself doesn't know how much of this is real and how much is fake.
Kaka never thought of leaving Real Madrid like this, just as he never thought he would end his career at Real Madrid. He will definitely leave Real Madrid, but he hopes that he will leave with the glory of the championship and the aura of praise from everyone, rather than leaving with his tail between his legs.
If he leaves the Bernabeu as purged, what will others say about him? He's a guy who cares a lot about what people think of him.
He signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid, and now he has three years left, so there is not much time left for him.
Today in the last moments of the Super Cup, he felt that feeling that he had not felt for a long time, the wind was blowing on his face, his hair was blowing, he was blowing up his shirt, he was striding with the ball, he felt that the football and his body were one, and the rhythm was very clear.
There was no pain in the groin, no pain in the thigh muscles, everything was normal, and he felt that every push he made was powerful.
There is no player who doesn't want to be back at the top, especially one who was once on top of the world.
Chu Zhongtian's arrival made Kaka see the hope of returning to the top. Before, his relationship with Chu Zhongtian was not bad, but that was more because he was easier to get along with, plus Chu Zhongtian and C. Ronaldo had a good relationship, and Kaka's relationship with the Portuguese was extraordinary, in line with the principle of "a friend's friend is a friend", he and Chu Zhongtian are also friends.
But until now, Kaka's friendship with Chu Zhongtian is truly from the heart.
And Chu Zhongtian used this pass to let his teammates see his ability, which was very helpful for integrating into the team.
Real Madrid have a 3-1 lead over Barcelona at their home stadium and they have taken the lead in the two-legged Super Cup. The next step is to try to win the Super Cup.
They have a lot of ways to win the Super Cup. Beating Barcelona at Camp Nou is certainly the safest option, but it's a tough one. They can draw away from Barcelona and then dominate Barcelona on aggregate, or they can lose to Barcelona but lift the Spanish Super Cup as long as they score away and don't concede by more than two goals.
Compared with winning the Spanish Super Cup, it is this opponent that makes Real Madrid's blood boil for a long time. If they can lift the Spanish Super Cup, it means they beat Barcelona.
Last season, Real Madrid was suppressed by Barcelona too badly, especially in the 0:5 game at Camp Nou, which was unforgettable.
The benefit of the Super Cup for Chu Zhongtian is that it speeds up the speed at which he integrates into the team.
After this match, Mourinho began to think about whether to give Chu Zhongtian more time in the next round.
Jose Mourinho is a very contradictory man, sometimes he seems very adventurous, other times he seems timid and cautious.
In Chu Zhongtian's use, he was a little cautious. You must know that when Chu Zhongtian went from Metz to Hoffenheim, Rangnick's use of Chu Zhongtian can be described as quite bold. A player who has just joined the team is immediately treated as the core and is also entrusted with the responsibility of captaincy. At a time when everyone didn't understand at the time, Rangnick used his authority to forcibly implement his new policy, almost holding Chu Zhongtian up with both hands.
But at Real Madrid, he doesn't enjoy such privileges. First of all, it is not Mourinho's decision whether he can be the heart of Real Madrid, he has to use his real talent to conquer everyone - the club president, the discerning Real Madrid fans and the Spanish media, as well as the arrogant manager and players.
If he can't do that, he'll just be an average player, no matter how much glory he has had before.
Just like Kaka, his value is not much different from him, and his past status is even above him, and he is considered one of the three representatives of the youth storm in world football, tied with C. Ronaldo and Messi. But when he couldn't play his level at Real Madrid, he became "the most expensive parallel import in the history of Real Madrid" and a "regular on the cleaning list".
Chu Zhongtian came to Real Madrid to pursue more championships and greater success, not to get a high salary of six million on the bench.
Mourinho is more cautious because last season, his Real Madrid tactical system has been basically stable, and he did want to give Alonso a replacement, but it was a replacement, not a second commander. Now that there is a Chu Zhongtian, the team's tactics will have to be readjusted, and according to the previous play, this team will not be able to play its strongest strength. If it is to be changed, Real Madrid will have to start running in again.
Mourinho has a headache right now.
And the second leg against Barcelona is getting closer.
He hasn't forgotten the humiliation of losing 0:5 away to Barcelona last season, and he can't calm down when he thinks of the ridicule and attacks on him by the Catalan media after that game.
This time you must take revenge!
On August 212, Camp Nou, the second national derby of the season, will be staged.
