Chapter 889: One Team VS One Person
After Real Madrid successfully won the 10th Champions League in their history, many people said that the Champions League was no longer attractive to Real Madrid, but in fact, such statements are pure nonsense.
Real Madrid have won a lot of Champions League trophies, but there are not many players who have won more than two Champions Leagues in the current line, so for them, the history of the club is one thing, and their own glory is another.
What's more, now they have a new pursuit, that is, to build Lin Yu into a god of football, but what kind of god is it?
Lin Yu's current achievements have surpassed many players, so it is not an exaggeration to be called the king of the ball by the fans and the media, but if someone says that he is a football god, then there will definitely be a large number of people who stand up against it, even Real Madrid's meritorious player Di StΓ©fano will not admit it, because he has won the Champions League five times in a row, Lin Yu, this kid has only helped the team win a Champions League, what is arrogant?
So in fact, whether it is Lin Yu or other players in the team, the luxury of the Champions League is no less than last season, this is just the first stop to gain a firm foothold after re-stepping on the top of Europe.
As the head coach of the team, Zidane is even more hungry for the Champions League, he needs to prove himself, if he leads this championship team but can't win the championship, doesn't it mean that his coaching ability is not enough? At that time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause fans to "get out of class".
He now has to not only make gods, but also keep his coaching position. So no matter who the opponent of the Champions League is, it is a must to be killed. There must be no slackness.
It is precisely because of this determination to unite that it is in the Real Madrid team. Hardly anyone thought the team would capsize in the gutter.
The only people who doubt Real Madrid now are probably those fans who don't like Real Madrid and are looking forward to Real Madrid's capsizing.
β¦β¦
There are many stories between Schalke 04 and Real Madrid, for example, Raul, who is now the manager of Real Madrid's sports department, once played for Schalke 04 for a period of time, and before that, he was the meritorious captain of Real Madrid.
So when Real Madrid arrived in Germany, some media interviewed Raul, who also came with him, and asked Raul which side he thought would win this game.
In fact, this question is really difficult to answer. However, Raul didn't think much of it, he smiled and said: "I hope both teams can play at their level and try to play a good game." β
His answer can be said to have said that he didn't say anything, but he said everything, and the reporter couldn't do anything about him.
In addition to Raul, there is also a story that Huntelaar has a story with Real Madrid. At that time, Huntelaar was talented and was received by Real Madrid, but it was sold not long after, and Huntelaar moved to Serie A. In the end, it came to the Bundesliga, and it can be said that life was not comfortable.
He definitely has a grievance against Real Madrid, there's no doubt about that, so when the media asked him about something about the game. He said firmly: "We are not playing with them in this game, because we have the opportunity to play against the best team in the world. We're going to try to win and I hope we can beat Real Madrid with our goals. β
Of course. He hadn't spoken too much about this, leaving a way out for himself. Because I'm afraid Huntelaar also knows in his heart that his team will meet Real Madrid, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.
In addition to Raul and Huntelaar, Lin Yu can also be regarded as having some relationship with Schalke 04, when he was still in Dortmund, he bullied Schalke 04 a lot, so the fans here don't have a good impression of him, you can imagine what the scene will be like during the game.
For this, Lin Yu not only won't worry, but he still has a little joy in his heart, he likes pressure, the game without pressure is too boring, if the fans of Schalke 04 dare to boo him and scold him in the stands, it will be fun.
After all, it can be said that the match between Real Madrid and Schalke 04 has many stories and prominent contradictions, but the outcome is not very suspenseful, and many people have even begun to predict that Real Madrid will kill Schalke 04 by a big score.
The reporters probably felt that Raul and Huntelaar's words were not exciting enough, so they went to Lin Yu, hoping to hear some exciting words from this guy who was good at provoking opponents.
They were not disappointed.
Lin Yu told all the media reporters in the tone of a victor: "If Schalke 04 disarms and surrenders, I can consider taking a few fewer of them." β
That's right, he's just looking for scolding, the more fierce the other party scolds, the more energetic he becomes, in that case, he will have a more realistic purpose in the game.
β¦β¦
Soon, major European media processed and edited Lin Yu's remarks, and wrote many interesting articles and reports.
The Battle of Gelsenkirchen! γ
"The Devil's Curse, Does Schalke Dare to Take It?" γ
"The still arrogant Chinese football king! γ
"Lin Yu persuaded Schalke 04! γ
ββ¦β¦ Lin Yu mentioned in an interview with our reporter that if Schalke 04 is willing to surrender, then he can score a few fewer goals, which is a threat? Is it persuasion? Or demagoguery? Or is it a curse? We don't know what Lin Yu thinks, but we can be sure that the German team will be very angry now, they are definitely not a fish belly team, and they will not let Real Madrid and Lin Yu slaughter the ......! β
Next to these words, there is a handsome close-up photo of Lin Yu, and on the face of the photo, there is an unstoppable expression, I have to say that the reporter who took the photo is of a very high level, and the appearance of Lin Yu is completely a disdain for Schalke 04 and German football, which is too vivid.
Maybe this is processed, but it is undeniable that Lin Yu did say something like that, and he did not pay much attention to Schalke 04.
The media did not take the words out of context, nor did they make directed reports. What they reported was the truth, and they were all Lin Yu's complete answers.
Although many people think that Lin Yu has the capital to say such things. But I still think he is a little too arrogant, what if the boat capsizes in the gutter? In that case. Won't it become the laughing stock of the whole world?
Their thoughts are always afraid of wolves and tigers, so they can never understand Lin Yu's thoughts, Lin Yu never believed that he would fail, because he first believed in his own strength, and secondly, his words were not completely nonsense, he was able to score five goals against a strong team like Barcelona and help the team beat Schalke 04 What's not to do?
Therefore, Lin Yu didn't care about those voices of doubt and accusation at all, he was such a person. From the very beginning, even after he was stabbed with a knife, many people advised him to keep a low profile, but he still didn't change, this is Lin Yu, the living Lin Yu is like this, and the dead Lin Yu should also remain like this, so I'm afraid that such a character will accompany him for the rest of his life.
He believes. The players of Schalke 04 must be very angry when they hear him say this, and they will definitely try to prevent Real Madrid from scoring in every possible way. But Lin Yu didn't care, he really didn't care, the more energetic the opponent was. The more energetic he fights, the more powerful he becomes, if the opponent really has to disarm and surrender. He really can't get any energy, which is another aspect. What he said to the media was really not nonsense.
β¦β¦
Lin Yu's words, of course, will anger the players of Schalke 04, especially those who are not very good-tempered.
In Schalke 04, Da Boateng undoubtedly belongs to such a person, he is very unhappy with Lin Yu's words, what's wrong with you being the number one in the world? What's wrong with you scoring more goals? But why do you underestimate our team? What's more, our Bundesliga team is not inferior in the competition with your La Liga team, why do you look down on people.
There are a lot of people who have the same idea as him, people who have a little temper, a little strength, and a little blood, I'm afraid they can't stand Lin Yu's provocation like that.
So Farfan, Huntelaar, Big Boateng, and even Schalke 04's head coach Keller have all stated that even if they don't win this game, they must let Lin Yu not score a single goal, because Lin Yu's words are really annoying.
Although they did not openly express their dissatisfaction in the media, everyone secretly made up their minds in their hearts to let Lin Yu walk around without eating.
Schalke 04's central defenders Matip and Santana are basically going to face Lin Yu face to face, and they have some whimsical ideas, if they can block Lin Yu, then they are not stronger than any defender in the world? Maybe after this game, they can negotiate with the club to increase their salary.
β¦β¦
At the pre-match press conference, the most asked question by reporters was also Lin Yu's remarks that were very easy to anger Schalke 04 players.
Of course, Zidane understands Lin Yu's thoughts, Lin Yu said that, there are two reasons, the first reason is that he wants to stimulate his opponent, and then let himself be nervous, excited, and active, because he likes to play under pressure.
The second reason may be the most important reason, it is not actually a provocation, but Lin Yu's truth, he thinks so, but he is more straightforward.
Zidane actually thinks the same way, but he can't say that, because his opinion represents the opinion of the club and may affect other players, so he laughed: "As a player of Lin Yu's level, it's not surprising to say some arrogant things, right?" In my opinion, Schalke 04 is a respectable opponent, the Bundesliga team is generally tenacious and not easy to play! β
As the opponent's head coach Keller, of course, he has to be a little more high-profile at this time to boost the team's morale, otherwise he will be so provoked by Lin Yu and not say a word, which will really disappoint the players.
And Keller really doesn't believe that in his home stadium, even if Lin Yu can score again, can he still turn the sky upside down?
Aren't you Lin Yu trying to stimulate our players? Okay, then I'll add a little more fire to make your excitement a little more intense.
He told the media: "Some people look down on our team because he is strong enough, but what I want to say is that football is round, anything can happen on the field, and he Lin Yu has not always kept winning, I believe that my players can hand in a satisfactory answer!" β
A reporter took Keller's words to ask Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled and said: "Okay, I want to see if Schalke 04 can stop me and my teammates from attacking with all their might, and I forgot to tell them that the people or teams who talk hard to me before the game don't turn out well." β
β¦β¦
In fact, no one noticed that when people compare Lin Yu now, they don't compare a certain player with Lin Yu, but use a team to compare with Lin Yu alone, they have long acquiesced to Lin Yu's ability to be as strong as a team, but they just refuse to admit it.
The players of Schalke 04 are actually the same, they are very unwilling to admit defeat on the surface, but whether it is formulating tactics or discussing defense, there are always several people working together to deal with Lin Yu, and let them go to Lin Yu alone, then absolutely no one dares to stand up, because whoever stands up will definitely become a big joke in the end.
