Chapter 106: Against Real Madrid
How strong is Real Madrid? Real Madrid is arguably one of the top clubs in the world from the eyes of future generations, but what about now???
The policy of one superstar a year sounds very powerful, and the Galaxy Battleship sounds invincible, but it is worth noting that the strength of the Galaxy Generation is not as strong as the star fame shows, and the Galaxy Generation has only two league titles and one Champions League title technically, and has never blossomed in any one year.

Of course, this is only on the whole, although this record does not look very bad, but compared to Real Madrid's investment and the popularity of the players, the value for money is too low, and Real Madrid should not be just like this.
In the summer of '03, Real Madrid underwent a great change, due to disagreement with President Florentino, the old captain Hierro and the meritorious coach Bosque left the team. New coach Queiroz has taken over, but although he is better at the team's tactics, he has almost zero on-the-spot command.
That's it, Real Madrid is typical top-heavy! Makelele, the iron gate of the back, was sold, but even so, it may be because Real Madrid's lineup is too luxurious in the early stage, so other teams basically dare not be presumptuous, and they are abused by Real Madrid's attacking end.
But then they found out that this Real Madrid team is actually just like that, (it may have something to do with the team's chain drop in some major tournaments.) After that, it was time to torment San Casillas, and Real Madrid's incomparable backline and Casillas's god-like performance were honed in this way.
Then to be reasonable, in the 01-02 season, Real Madrid won the top of Europe, not to mention anything else, after all, it was the championship, but, relatively speaking, at that time, the major teams were basically in the adjustment period, and Real Madrid's opponents basically belonged to the situation of new players, new tactics, and new coaches.
In the 02-03 season, although Real Madrid finally entered the semi-finals, but against the Serie A team with the highest level of the top five leagues at that time, the performance was not so good, and the second group stage away to AC Milan and the semi-final away to Juventus were basically defeated.
Finally, when it came to the 03-04 season, although now Real Madrid can be said to have both results and money, after all, there are so many superstars in Real Madrid, just those advertisements, sponsorships and the like are indispensable, and these are all right, you take those things, you always have to play, don't you spend money in vain if you don't play without exposure?
There is a saying in China that if you want a horse to run, you want a horse not to eat grass, and Real Madrid wants to make a lot of money in business and want to get good grades, is this possible? What's more, those superstars have money, glory, and they are not young, will they still fight as hard as they did when they were young?
(Look at the later generations, Real Madrid shoots those young players, rarely buy that kind of older players, look at Ronaldo, Benzema, Marcelo, they were all introduced when they were young, unlike the previous superstar policy, it depends on fame and price.) )
Maybe in Sun Jinghan's eyes, the strength of this Real Madrid is quite strong, but in the eyes of Momo, a familiar person, this Real Madrid is actually not to be feared, not to mention anything else, just talk about their defensive line, as long as the midfielders can pass out, Momo can play how he wants.
You know, Real Madrid's top-heavy is not just talking, let alone a giant like Inter Milan, in this period, even some average teams can be wild against Real Madrid's defense.
Of course, strictly speaking, the title of Galaxy Battleship officially appeared after Beckham joined Real Madrid, so strictly speaking, Galaxy Battleship has not won a Champions League championship once, and Galaxy Battleship is basically equivalent to Real Madrid's trough period.
Everyone thinks Real Madrid is a ferocious tiger, but is that really the case?
In 2000, Bosque, who had spent almost his entire life at Real Madrid, became the manager of Real Madrid. Although they lost to Laco in the league competition, they defeated Manchester United and Bayern Munich in the European arena. In the Champions Cup final at the end of the season, Real Madrid easily won the first "final derby" in history 3-0, defeating Valencia, also from Spain, to win the Champions Cup for the eighth time.
In the same year, construction tycoon Florentino won the presidential re-election with the support of his predecessor Mendoza Mendoza, defeating his predecessor Sanz to become the 14th president in Real Madrid's history.
Florentino advocates a superstar policy and claims that the club will implement a "superstar a year" transfer strategy under his leadership. Since then, Real Madrid has entered a new period in its history, and Florentino's team has been dubbed the "Galaxy Battleship" by critics.
At the beginning of the election, Florentino's first important signing as president was the signing of Portuguese star Luis Figo, and at the end of that year, Mr. Golden Ball became the first foreign player in the era of Real Madrid's "Galaxy Battleship" with a world record value of 56.1 million US dollars, and formed a strong squad together with Raul, Carlos and Hierro. The arrival of the Portuguese helped Real Madrid win the La Liga title in 2001.
In 2001, the Frenchman Zidane became Florentino's second "prey", and the transfer fee of up to 76 million euros broke Figo's record, and Real Madrid has since had "the two most expensive players in the world", after a long adaptation period,
The French legend dominated the Santiago Bernabeu after the winter break, and Real Madrid won the Champions League for the ninth time. In that season, the club's centenary celebration, Real Madrid completed the perfect end of the great club's centenary with two Super Cups, a Champions Cup and a Toyota Cup.
Every summer since 2000, Florentino has bought in a superstar, turning a team that already dominates Europe into the most luxurious galactic battleship in history.
When the club celebrated its centenary in 2002, they played a friendly match against World Stars United at the Bernabeu.
In the summer of 2003, David Beckham boarded the Battleship Galaxy. Less than a month after he joined, they travelled to China for a friendly match, and during Florentino's tenure as Real Madrid's president, the Galacticos made a series of moves to overtake Manchester United as the richest club in the world in 2006.
Subsequently? Real Madrid is starting to go from strength to strength, and instead of saying it's a great big team, Momo prefers to call this period a commercial team, and their main purpose is to make money. (To be continued.) )
