Chapter 66: The starting lineup
readx;
Mourinho provoked a war of words, but did not continue to deal with it, but Rosell's response was very ruthless, which made Mourinho lose his voice at once. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Although Russell has been heavily criticized and attacked by the Madrid media, everyone believes that the winner of this war of words belongs to Rosell, the president of FC Barcelona. Because he managed to shut up Mourinho.
Jose Mourinho's failure to respond to Rosell has left the media bored, who have only criticized Rosell for not being humble and low-key enough, and for making the case for his predecessor Joan Laporta. said why when Laporta was president of Barcelona, Barcelona did so well, and he was still criticized as the president of the club, because Laporta did not know how to keep a low profile and acted too arrogantly, which is not in line with Barcelona's philosophy.
But whatever Barcelona's philosophy, at least Rusell gave all Barcelona supporters a sigh of relief – just to the thought of the madman Mourinho having a day when he was deflated.
0: It is indeed a scar that is difficult to erase easily for Real Madrid and Mourinho. Although it has been a year, this thing is still brought up from time to time and used to sting Real Madrid. After scoring Huffren's fifth goal in that game, Piquet raised his palms high and five fingers stretched out to symbolize the five goals. This gesture is the biggest heartache for Real Madrid fans.
Piqué raised his hand, and Eric. Abidal also raised his hand and gathered around Hefren. The players next to Suarez all reached out. Valdés raised his hand, plastic gloves glistening in the light. It didn't take long for the entire Camp Nou audience to raise their hands...... This gesture became a signature gesture for Barcelona fans to humiliate Real Madrid after that match. After the competition, FC Barcelona started selling a special T-shirt: they were blue and yellow, and the total price was only 9.95 euros, which was not expensive. The back of the T-shirt reads "Great Battle", while the text on the front has been reduced to a simple list, with only the date and score of the national derby (Camp Nou, 29/11/2010, 5-0) and a large yellow handprint.
There's even a Barcelona sponsor that used the gesture for an advertisement, with photos of Barcelona players showing their palms on buses. Although Barcelona denied that it was deliberately provoking and insulting Real Madrid, and claimed that the advertising idea was provided by a sponsor and had nothing to do with FC Barcelona, it was still believed to be aimed at Real Madrid.
However, this gesture is not original to Pique, and even has a relationship with Barcelona. In Spain, the open fingers have a special meaning – and Racing Santander fans may still have their own "palm" T-shirts – especially for Barcelona fans. For a Catalan native like Pique, he will still remember the same 5-0 win over Barcelona in 1995.
So when Heffren scored Barcelona's fifth goal, Piquee couldn't wait to open his palm, and now he wants to give the score to Real Madrid, and he wants Real Madrid fans like him to remember this moment for the rest of their lives.
Not many people remember Racing Santander's 5-0 win over Barcelona today, but the story of Barcelona's 5-0 win over Real Madrid is still fresh in everyone's minds.
For Jose Mourinho, it was the most painful defeat of his tenure as manager. At the Camp Nou, 80,000 Barcelona fans shouted in unison: "Get out of the dugout, Jose!" Get out of the dugout! "Most of the time he sat in the dugout and didn't move.
No one knows what Mourinho's mood was at the time, perhaps the Almeria players knew - they had just been conceded eight goals by Barcelona. Almeria player Hennock. Speaking to Mourinho on Twitter, Guito wrote: "I can understand what you're thinking: you just want the game to end as soon as possible. ”
Chu Zhongtian watched the game, and he also had this idea, not only Mourinho, but other Real Madrid players all wanted the game to end as soon as possible.
It was a terrible match for them.
He was thinking that with Mourinho's character who must be retribution, how could he be willing to swallow the bitter fruit of a 0:5 loss?
After the game, some media analysts believed that Mourinho must have thought about revenge in the game.
However, the Barcelona man thinks that is all speculation, and the fact is that Real Madrid were beaten by Barcelona at the Camp Nou. As for the next round of revenge? Who knows what the future holds? It also proved that Real Madrid was not able to complete their revenge in the next leg, but also eliminated Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
For Mourinho, it is a great shame to lose to Barcelona one after another. He was Barcelona's lifelong enemy, a relationship that made him especially unacceptable to lose to Barcelona.
So in the face of Russell's provocation this time, Mourinho didn't say a word, which is really puzzling.
You must know that according to his character and temper, it is impossible to have revenge.
It's no wonder that this time he didn't say or do anything.
Chu Zhongtian was a little disappointed with Mourinho's reaction, if it were him, this kind of thing would definitely not be tolerable, and he would find a way to fight back.
He's not the kind of person who swallows his anger when he suffers a loss.
Although Mourinho didn't say anything, the reaction within the Real Madrid team to Rosell's words was still very strong.
Everyone generally felt very unhappy, and the past score was always taken out to say that this is not a very polite and personable thing in itself. Especially since the person who spoke was the president of the club, and a person of this status should not say such undignified words.
The second is naturally that the game is indeed a pain in the hearts of these people, and this pain is now repeatedly taken out by Russell, which will remind them of the fiasco a year ago, and a sense of humiliation will come to their hearts.
No one likes to be unearthed. If Real Madrid played Barcelona 5:0 and then often came up with things to say, I believe that Barcelona people will also be quite unhappy.
In fact, the relationship between these two teams is quite good except for the game. For example, Abidal temporarily left the team because of cancer, and the players of Real Madrid sent their blessings immediately. The performance also touched the Barcelona players, who were notoriously anti-Real Madrid in the Barcelona squad, and they all thanked and praised the Real Madrid players for their performances.
These people are players, but first of all they are ordinary people, they have ordinary feelings, and these feelings are not necessarily affected by the feud between the two clubs.
But if you have to poke their scars, they don't mind treating each other like enemies. Just like Ramos, no matter how good the relationship with Puyol is, even if he is a teammate of the national team, he will shoot when he should shoot in the game...... After complaining, Real Madrid players have a common idea that they must beat Barcelona in this game and use practical actions to slap Rosell's face. There are also proposals to win Barcelona at home 5:0, but this idea is a little difficult to implement, unless all Barcelona are out of fighting spirit, just like the second leg of the national derby in the 07-08 season, Real Madrid has won the league championship in advance before that game, according to the management, this game Barcelona must be lined up at the Bernabeu to welcome the new league champion, which is undoubtedly the biggest shame for Barcelona's players, so the Barcelona players in that game showed no fighting spirit, There was hardly any resistance. Even so, the score in that game was just 4:1.
The 5-0 scoreline has been played seven times in the history of league meetings between Real Madrid and Barcelona, with Barcelona beating Real Madrid 5-0 five times and Real Madrid only twice. So in that sense, Rosell is not bad, Barcelona do have a tradition of beating their rivals 5-0 compared to Real Madrid - Barcelona's first 5-0 defeat came on April 21, 1935, and the most recent time was on November 29, 2010.
However, the biggest difference between the two teams was not 5:0, but the astonishing 11:1 score created by Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey, which is almost impossible to replicate these days.
Not to mention 11:1, it is difficult for Real Madrid to beat Barcelona with 5:0 points. Barcelona are in the best period of their history, with talented players, talented managers, a well-developed style of play and a mature style, an almost unbeatable team – and it is also true that so far in the new season, Barcelona have not lost a league or the Champions League or the Copa del Rey.
Although Real Madrid is also very good, it is generally believed that the same era as this Barcelona team is the sadness of this Real Madrid team. Because no matter how good they are, they can only be a foil for Barcelona and a stepping stone for Barcelona to step onto the throne. Whether it was when Manuel Pellegrini was in charge or Jose Mourinho's first season, Real Madrid could win the title in any league with the points they obtained, but in La Liga they met the better Barcelona...... What is the birth of Yu?
Therefore, the meeting and collision of these two teams is even more eye-catching.
"There are still a few hours before the start of the game, but it is already crowded outside the Bernabeu...... "The reporter of Spanish TV is giving live coverage to the audience outside the Bernabeu stadium. Every encounter between the two sides can attract media attention and hype, and this one is no exception.
For Spain's national derby, there is no such thing as "aesthetic fatigue", every game can attract a lot of attention, and every collision has a different story, which is always worth savoring.
This time, for example, it was considered a day of revenge by the Madrid media.
Although Barcelona did not beat Real Madrid twice last season, they maintained an unbeaten record against Real Madrid, whether in the league or in the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid did not win against Barcelona, drawing at home and losing away...... Real Madrid has changed significantly this season with Chu Zhongtian, which makes people feel that they have the confidence to challenge Barcelona. On the other hand, it is naturally because Chu Zhongtian has a winning record against Barcelona.
In short, everyone feels that if Real Madrid can beat Barcelona, then Chu Zhongtian is definitely an important factor that cannot be ignored.
Another important factor is that Mourinho must not play against Barcelona just because this is their home stadium. There is no team in the world that can beat Barcelona against them, not even Jose Mourinho. At this time last year, he was forced to play against Barcelona because of pressure from the top, and he ended up scoring five goals.
Cruyff also published his article before the national derby, which seemed to be very neutral, but in fact he was still helping Barcelona to speak.
He said, "...... Even a manager of Mourinho's calibre has to admit that he can only rely on ugly defensive counter-attacks to win the game against Barcelona. And this is the eternal pain in the hearts of Real Madrid fans - a team with a fine tradition like Real Madrid, which became the best club of the 20th century thanks to its heart-warming attacking football and noble artistic football, can now only challenge Barcelona by counter-attacking defence. When will Real Madrid and Barcelona dare to say that they can beat Barcelona when they face off? Perhaps only that day will be the moment when Real Madrid will be truly revived......"
This is very reasonable, and many Real Madrid fans are depressed.
Real Madrid's football is definitely not defensive counter-attacking football, definitely not ugly football, but beautiful football, attacking football. This concept has been ingrained in the minds of the people since the fifties of the last century - Real Madrid represents the most advanced and beautiful football in the world.
That's why Fabio Capello led Real Madrid to a stunning comeback, overtaking Barcelona and winning the La Liga title in the 06-07 season, still without the support of the fans.
This season, with Chu Zhongtian, Real Madrid's style of play is much better than before, which makes Real Madrid fans full of expectations - when can we also play against Barcelona with confidence and then defeat them?
But the news from some media before the game poured cold water on them.
“…… Mourinho did not rule out the possibility of a back three in the game......"
“…… According to our reporter, Mourinho is experimenting with a formation of three midfielders playing at the same time in training, and it is believed that this may be a ...... for Barcelona"
“…… Now Real Madrid has three regular midfielders, Chu, Alonso and Khedira, and it is not impossible for the three to start ......"
What does three at the back mean? In most people's eyes, a back three is synonymous with conservative passivity, meaning Mourinho has to play defensive counter-attacks on his home turf. The back three are very good defensively, but what about the attack? No one knows.
These media are right, Mourinho is indeed thinking about playing a back three, and the back three is the focus of training during this period when Real Madrid is training in the team.
Even the players are speculating that the starting line-up will be a back three.
※※※ The answer will be revealed before the start of the competition.
Two hours before the start of the game, the media rushed to get Real Madrid's starting line-up for this game.
Jose Mourinho did have all three midfielders on at the same time, but it didn't seem to be a back three. Because on the formation map, Chu Zhongtian is ahead of Khedira and Alonso.
And Kaka and Ozil did not start, Chu Zhongtian is actually ...... Front waist!
Chu Zhongtian hit the front waist?
It's not like he hasn't played this position before, but after all, the number of times is very small, and it is almost unnoticeable. Spain didn't know much about his experience as a striker, so they were surprised.
While Real Madrid's starting line-up was shocking the media, Mourinho was doing something in the home dressing room at the Bernabeu.
He put Russell's words on the tactics board.
At this time the players were warming up outside and there was no one else in the dressing room but him.
"I think if we don't win 5-0, it's a defeat. Because it's a tradition in Barcelona. ”
After writing this sentence, Mourinho drew a score below, which is exactly 5:0 in Rosell's mouth, but it is reversed, Real Madrid's score is in front, and Barcelona's score is in the back - 0:5.
After doing all this, he stepped back, looked at the tactical board in front of him with his hands on his chest, nodded in satisfaction and turned to go out.
※※※The Bernabeu Stadium was full of people, and the stands were almost full.
The match attracted 201 TV media outlets from all over the world, including China Central Television.
However, this time, the sister who came to the scene said that the game was no longer Duan Bin, who liked "wow", but He Ping, who was responsible for commenting La Liga games all year round. Now that he has passed the World Cup in South Africa, he is already the number one football commentator on CCTV, so it is similar to coming to the Bernabeu and Camp Nou...... The task of conducting live commentary on this kind of stadium naturally fell to him. This is not the first time he has come to the scene to comment, but it is the first time to come to the Bernabeu, the home of Real Madrid...... He is also looking forward to this game. Judging from the list obtained before the game, Chu Zhongtian was ranked in the position of the front midfield, does this mean that Chu Zhongtian will be more responsible for attacking in the game? If that's the case, then there's something to see.
The grievances and hatreds between Chu Zhongtian and Barcelona are simply worth looking forward to.
Half a year ago, he still remembers the Champions League final. Chu Zhongtian single-handedly defeated Barcelona, and that game made him watch the blood boiling. So what about this time? With better teammates around him, he hardly has to turn the tide on his own.
It's a pity not to see him as a guest goalkeeper and keep a clean sheet against Barcelona...... He Ping thought "darkly" in his heart.
He is not a Real Madrid fan, but because of Chu Zhongtian, he became a supporter of Real Madrid when there was a Real Madrid game. Just as he was unequivocally supportive of Hoffenheim in the broadcast of the Champions League.
