Chapter 11 Real Madrid's No. 10
readx;
What is a headache for Mourinho is that the arrival of Chu Zhongtian has broken the team's very mature tactics last season, and the team must develop new tactics to adapt to Chu Zhongtian's arrival, but the problem now is that due to the Copa America, there are many South American players in the Real Madrid team who are out of the country and cannot return to the team. If the www.biquge.info personnel of the pen "Fun" Pavilion are not neat, there is no way to conduct tactical training.
The 43rd Copa America is played in Argentina from July 1 to July 24, and Argentina and Brazil are the favourites to reach the final, while Real Madrid have all South American players from these two countries. If both teams reach the final, it means that the Real Madrid players from both teams will not be back until at least the beginning of August, as they will have to take a leave of absence for the Copa America.
Mourinho actually doesn't want these players to go back to the Copa America, but his arms can't twist his thighs, and the Argentine and Brazilian Football Confederations have good reasons to call their players to participate in such continental competitions, and the club must not stop them.
In addition to Higuain, who has just returned from injury and stayed in the team, Di Maria, Garay, Kaka, and Marcelo all participated in this Copa America. And almost all of these people, except for Garay, are the main players of the team. The three main players were transferred at once, which made Mourinho very unhappy.
During this time, the team only carried out physical training, mainly to restore the team's physical fitness, and did not involve tactical training, which is okay. But you can't just keep training and wait for the players from the Copa America to come back and then practice their tactics, right? In that case, the start of the new season is only a month away, and it is obviously too late.
How to arrange Chu Zhongtian is another headache for Mourinho.
Chu Zhongtian's ability is not to say, although Mourinho does not admit it in his mouth, he agrees in his heart. The problem is that his role is similar to that of Alonso. Dual cores do not necessarily mean that they will succeed, on the contrary, they may lead to incompatibilities.
If you want Chu Zhongtian to play, how can you coexist with Alonso?
Mourinho has to solve this problem. Florentino never wanted to see the player he had bought for 70 million euros sitting on the cold bench on the bench and then being ridiculed by the media for once again looking away. Letting Benzema sit on the bench frequently last season was already very unpleasant for Florentino.
Another thing that gave Mourinho a headache was also related to Chu Zhongtian.
Because of the arrival of Chu Zhongtian, Rasena. Diarra started to lose her temper again. He felt threatened. Originally, he had already played the main force in the second half of last season, but he didn't expect that this season had just begun, and Chu Zhongtian transferred to join, threatening his position.
During this time, there was news in the media that he was going to transfer.
Mourinho actually didn't want Diarra to go, because he had successively disposed of Gago and Mohammed. After Diarra, Real Madrid now only have Xavi. Alonso, Chu Zhongtian, Khedira and Rasena. Diarra has four people, if Diarra goes again, there will only be three midfielders left, in case someone is injured, it will be stretched in the position of the midfield.
And Diarra is a very good defensive defender, and letting him go, it will take a lot of effort to find a replacement...... Diarra's desire to leave the team is very strong now, even being late for yesterday's training session. His explanation is that there is a traffic jam on the road, and the ghost believes his words, and he has never seen a traffic jam in training at this time of day, but he was in a traffic jam yesterday?
Mourinho knew that Diarra was trying to force him to let him go.
Diarra's agent has also approached Baldano to express his player's desire to leave Real Madrid.
What about Florentino's opinion? If there is a club that can make a suitable offer, it will be La Sena. Diarra was sold.
How can the sale of Diarra make up for the team's loss at the back?
Going to buy another one?
It's hard to buy a good back now. Last season's best midfielder in the world has been bought by Real Madrid...... Now Mourinho can only hope that Chu Zhongtian and Alonso will not get injured after the start of the new season.
At least judging from the results of the physical examination, Chu Zhongtian's body is very good, and there is no problem with his physical condition, and at the same time, according to his previous history, he is also a player who rarely gets injured, and at Hoffenheim, he has never missed a game due to injury, and the same is true in Metz. If that's the case, you can look forward to it...... ※※※" Premier League giants are interested in Real Madrid's iron waist! ”
"Russ: I'm leaving Real Madrid!"
The media was full of Rasena. Diarra is on a transfer to leave Real Madrid.
Internally, though, it's not news. Diarra's transfer has not been a day or two, from last season to this season, and everyone will not be surprised if one day he is really gone.
Rasena. Diarra has been coming to Real Madrid for two and a half years, but his popularity within Real Madrid has not been very good, and this has something to do with the language barrier - he has been here for two and a half years, and he still uses French more to chat with Benzema, and Spain hardly does so. Another reason has to do with his personality, he is withdrawn and does not want to be involved in the Real Madrid dressing room, which can be seen in the pace of his Spanish learning. In addition, he has repeatedly expressed his desire to leave Real Madrid, which has made many Real Madrid players in the team dissatisfied.
Perhaps the only person who can be called a friend in the Real Madrid squad is Benzema, who is also from France. So when Benzema and Diarra couldn't play before, Diarra would announce that he wanted to transfer and bring Benzema with him.
Real Madrid will not regret Diarra's departure. This player who is unwilling to play as a substitute may only be able to satisfy his desire to play the main team by going to a middle and lower team, otherwise he can only be reduced to a substitute in a giant club like Real Madrid...... A qualified substitute, Real Madrid needs it very much, but he himself may not be willing to.
Some Chinese media are worried that Diarra's departure due to Chu Zhongtian's arrival will not cause Chu Zhongtian to have any conflict with Diarra in training.
Their worries were unnecessary, Chu Zhongtian and Diarra did not have any conflict, at least on the surface. In fact, Diarra's more dissatisfaction is directed at Real Madrid Club, he has to leave anyway, and there is no need to conflict with himself.
The tug-of-war between Diarra and the Real Madrid hierarchy soon came to fruition, and on July 15, Real Madrid announced that they had reached an agreement with Manchester United. Diarra moved to Manchester United for 25 million euros.
Ferguson didn't grab Chu Zhongtian, so he could only buy Diarra as a replacement. You must know that Diarra was also the core of the midfield when he was at Portsmouth, and he could attack and defend well, but in all aspects, he was inferior to Chu Zhongtian.
Real Madrid spent 20 million euros when they bought him from Portsmouth, and this time it changed hands for 25 million euros, and he finally didn't lose anything.
Diarra's departure gave Chu Zhongtian a number - No. 10.
Chu Zhongtian's favorite number is No. 8, but now Real Madrid's No. 8 belongs to Brazilian Kaka, who is also a superstar, not the kind of rookie in the second team who has just been promoted to the first team, if you want to get this number from him, if the other party does not agree, it is impossible.
In fact, Kaka has long said that he likes the number 8 and does not want to use other numbers.
Therefore, Real Madrid's No. 8 is destined to not belong to Chu Zhongtian.
The choice for Chu Zhongtian now is to accept the No. 10 left by Diarra.
Or you can use the number 5, Zidane really wants Chu Zhongtian to use the number 5, after all, this is the number he used to have at Real Madrid. But Chu Zhongtian was not interested in No. 5.
In the end, after soliciting opinions, Chu Zhongtian chose No. 10.
Real Madrid's 10 belong to Chu Zhongtian.
Although the number can no longer represent anything, there are some special numbers that still make people's hearts flutter.
10, this number has become the symbol of the core of the whole team since Pele, and it is the number that the ace of the aces is qualified to wear.
And since Figo, Real Madrid's number 10 has lost its luster and has become an ordinary number. Neither Robinho, Sneijder nor La Sena Diarra carried the number forward.
Of course, compared to No. 7 and No. 9, No. 10 is not a great number at Real Madrid. The number 7 is now more known because of Raul, and even many Chinese Real Madrid fans believe that the number 7 is known as the greatest number in Real Madrid because of Raul. Gonzalez, in fact, became an epic figure in the number 7 shirt between 1962 and 1976, winning nine league titles, three Copa del Rey titles and one European Cup during his time at Real Madrid.
The next representative figure was Juan in the 70s and 80s. Juanito. Similar to Raul, he was originally a player for Atletico Madrid, but was abandoned by Atletico Madrid after a serious injury at the age of 20 before joining Real Madrid. During his more than ten years with the team, the bold and even somewhat violent Juanito conquered Real Madrid fans with his fighting spirit. Several classic cup comebacks have come from his feet. The No.7 dared to kick the linesman and punch Mateus...... In the 80s, when Real Madrid was in a slump, Juanito became a symbol of Real Madrid's fighting spirit. Every seventh minute of a home game, the Bernabeu stands cheered him on. When Juanito died in a car accident in 1992, Madrid was left with a royal funeral at the level of the Real Madrid club, which is the only place in history to have been enjoyed by the Bernabeu, the father of the Champions Cup. Until now, the "Juanito spirit" has been an important spiritual asset for Real Madrid, and whenever they face difficulties, someone mentions the Juanito spirit.
It was the No. 7 before Raul who really pushed Real Madrid's No. 7 to the international level, Butragno. As representatives of Real Madrid's "Five Eagles", "Vulture" Putragno and Michel formed the Gemini constellation of Real Madrid in the 80s. In 1985 and 1986, he helped Real Madrid win the UEFA Cup twice.
Next up is Raul. Gonzalez.
Another great number is the number 9, and the reason why this number is great is only from these names - Paino, who scored 124 goals in 144 official matches, and Dee "Golden Arrow". Stefano, Grosso, who is both offensive and defensive, Sandiana, who played for Real Madrid in 461 games, and Hugo, the goal machine who won four La Liga top scorers. Sanchez, Zamorano "Ivan the Terrible", Davao who "can play the violin with his left foot". Suker, Raul's best partner Morientes, the phenomenal "alien" Ronaldo, and the most expensive No. 9 C. Ronaldo in history.
Compared to these two numbers, number 10 is really not too great. The biggest card is the Hungarian colonel Puskász, and Figo, Laudrup and Seedorf are all slightly inferior.
Now that Chu Zhongtian has taken over the number, the Chinese media are chanting that Chu Zhongtian has inherited the fine tradition of the number 10 of Real Madrid, in fact, they really can't say that there is any too great person who has ever worn this number. After the interpretation of recent generations, the number 10 has actually become an ordinary number in Real Madrid, and it does not make much sense.
Even Chu Zhongtian himself did not say in an interview that he wanted to carry forward this number, he just said that it was a wonderful thing to be able to become Real Madrid's No. 10.
This number is actually quite meaningful, and it can give people unlimited space for reverie.
Because the number 10 has always been the core number in the football world, the number of the midfielder. Chu Zhongtian is wearing such a number, which can't help but remind people of his ability, does Mourinho give this number to Chu Zhongtian What does it mean?
※※※ "No, no, there is no meaning. 'At his regular press conference after training, Mourinho answered this question from journalists. For me, the number 10 or the number 90 is just an ordinary number. I choose a player based on his training attitude and condition, not what number he wears. ”
Immediately, a Chinese reporter stood up and asked, "So what do you think of the team's No. 10 training attitude now?" ”
Mourinho grinned: "Good. ”
The Chinese reporters laughed, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
There have always been rumors that Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho have personal grudges, so under Mourinho, Chu Zhongtian cannot be reused. And Chu Zhongtian was introduced by Zidane, not Mourinho, Mourinho prefers Schweinsteiger, Chu Zhongtian is the fuse of the contradiction between Mourinho and Zidane.
But judging by Mourinho's answer, it doesn't seem to be like that.
In fact, it was Chu Zhongtian himself, and he couldn't figure out how Mourinho felt about him. He couldn't tell from the usual training whether Mourinho liked himself or hated him, but he had a smile on his face, but that was when he was in a good mood, and he did that to everyone. And his impeccable performance in training did not give Mourinho a chance to show that he was not good for himself.
Chu Zhongtian is not as anxious as the domestic media, and he is at peace when he comes. It's all here, he doesn't think about whether he can play or not, he believes in his own strength, and he also believes that Mourinho is not the kind of person who will declare personal vendettas. In fact, when Mourinho was at Chelsea, he once mocked C. Ronaldo as a fake wrestler, now what? C. Ronaldo is Mourinho's most relied on player, he did not rest a game last season, started every game, played full time, and was the real core.
So in fact, Chu Zhongtian didn't believe that Mourinho would put himself on the bench because of his personal vendetta. There is only one factor that determines whether or not you will be a substitute, and that is whether you are in the best form.
Except for training, Chu Zhongtian didn't think about other messes.
Of course, he didn't forget to make friends at Real Madrid, after all, these teammates will be playing side by side with him on the pitch in the future. As a playmaker in midfield, he has to know every team-mate, not just their style of play but also their personality traits in order to make decisions about the best team-mate on the pitch.
※※※ "Hey, Chu. "After training, C. Ronaldo gave himself a free-kick as usual, as he always does. That's why he often scores from free-kicks in games.
And the person who practiced with him was of course Chu Zhongtian, who was practicing shooting. After training every day, the training of these two people has become a scenery in Real Madrid Sports City in the past ten days.
And the friendship between Chu Zhongtian and C. Ronaldo has also slowly developed in this kind of training. As the first person to help Chu Zhongtian, it is natural that the relationship between the two of them is better.
Chu Zhongtian heard C. Ronaldo calling him, stopped shooting, and turned to look at the Portuguese.
The two of them were back-to-back, one shooting at one side and the other at the other, but they were on a small field, so they weren't too far away, and they could still hear each other's voices.
"Come to my house tomorrow night, I have a party."
When C. Ronaldo was in England, he was portrayed by the media as a "little prince of nightclubs", but strangely enough, when he came to Madrid, the news that he was still hanging out in nightclubs at night was almost extinct. Only those who know him know that C. Ronaldo is first and foremost a professional footballer.
Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised. "Is the whole team going?"
The Portuguese smiled and shook his head: "How is that possible?" It's just a few friends, some of my friends want to get to know you, and at the same time want to meet the famous Hollywood movie star Emily. Stan. What do you think? ”
Chu Zhongtian thought about it, during this time, Emily was really bored when she was not only looking for a house, but also accompanying herself in the hotel. Just take this opportunity to relax.
He nodded in agreement: "Okay, no problem." ”
C. Ronaldo received an affirmative answer and happily turned the ball upside down before kicking it towards the goal. The ball hit the crossbar directly with a crisp sound.
When Chu Zhongtian saw his appearance, he couldn't help laughing. Last season, the two were still rivals for their own masters, constantly competing on the field, but this season they have become teammates and have a good relationship.
Last season he struggled to lead his team to beat Real Madrid, but this season they have to play together and then do everything they can to beat those who want to beat them.
It's a truly amazing feeling.
