On September 11, the second round of La Liga began, and Real Madrid hosted promoted Marcelta, but lost 2:3 at home, which surprised the media. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the first few games of La Liga, the three promoted horses in La Liga performed extremely strongly, drawing with Barcelona and making Real Madrid difficult, and now this promoted horse has directly defeated Real Madrid.
In this regard, the board of directors of Real Madrid did not take any action, because a single game does not explain anything, and there are always accidents on the football field.
However, in the next group stage, Real Madrid went to France away, but lost to Lyon 3-0.
After returning to Madrid, on the 19th, Real Madrid challenged Espanyol away, and was strongly pressed by the opponent for a whole game, and finally lost to 0!!
Real Madrid have suffered three defeats in a row!!
And the two teams in the opponent except Lyon, all of them were nameless, and even lost one game in front of their own goal, this performance made the Spanish media exclaim: the Galaxy Battleship is going to fall.
In the face of Real Madrid's poor record, the Spanish newspaper "Royal Sport" said: "Why is this? The team has so many big-name stars, they are the best in the world in terms of individual skills and value, and our squad is no worse than that of Barcelona, but the team has played this kind of record, is it the team's problem, or the manager's problem? ”
And Le Monde Sport, which has always supported Barcelona, scoffed: "This season, Barcelona have one less rival, the league has just begun, but the championship trophy is already flying towards us." ”
For this kind of performance, of course, the Real Madrid management will not be satisfied, in their opinion, as the best team in the 20th century, Real Madrid should show the style of a king, now there are so many big stars in the team, a mistake can be said to be an accident, but three losses in a row, is the manager's problem.
On the night of the defeat to Espanyol, Luxenburg was called to Florentino's office and reprimanded by the club's hierarchy, but the club was not considering a change of manager.
Whether it's the league or the Champions Cup, it's just getting started, and it's definitely not a wise choice to change the manager now.
In the following league, Real Madrid defeated Alaves 0:3 away, 4:0 in Mallorca, and then won 3:0 in the Madrid derby, during which Real Madrid also won 2:1 in the face of visiting Olympiasco.
This kind of performance made the club very satisfied, and also made the always critical Spanish media shut their mouths.
Later, in an interview with the media, Luxenburg said: "At the beginning of the season, the players have not found their form, and it is normal for the team to be inconsistent, and now that the team has run in, all we need to do is play consistently. With Real Madrid's quality, it's easy to win against some of the smaller teams and this season our goal is to push for the league title and the Champions Cup. ”
Four wins in a row made Luxemberg complacent, and he thought the team's glory was coming. At this time, the atmosphere of the team was also very good, and Luxenberg also stabilized the position of head coach.
The next game seemed to confirm his words, as Real Madrid comfortably beat visiting Norwegian Premier League leaders Rosenborg 4-1 at home on October 20.
It looks like everything is going in a good direction.
However, Real Madrid's performance became more and more inconsistent.
On October 24, Real Madrid lost 1-2 at home to Valencia
On October 27, Real Madrid lost 3-1 away to Deportivo La Coruna
On October 30, Real Madrid defeated Real Betis 0-2 away
In this unstable situation, the gap between Real Madrid's league points and Barcelona has gradually widened, and even the Champions League group stage is very difficult, which makes Luxemborg's position more and more unstable
Compared with the tense situation of Real Madrid, Wang Li's life is very leisurely, in addition to the club's training, he occasionally has the interest to visit the shopping malls in Madrid, and during the holidays, he also takes Angela to visit Spain and so on.
However, of course, there was a trouble, at least for Wang Li, and that was to go with Angela to visit her father, the Earl of Edward, in London.
For the marriage of the two, Angela urged more and more frequently.
And Wang Li also loves Angela deeply and doesn't want her to be anxious, so on October 27, when Real Madrid's teammates were fighting with Deportivo La Coruna away, Wang Li took Angela back to London.
Their purpose this time was to see Count Edward.
With gifts, the two first went to Crakenwell Road to visit Wang Hai and Eris.
Generally speaking, the first time to meet the nobles of the British royal family, it is best to go in the afternoon, because the British nobles have an ancient tradition, in the afternoon, will meet the guests, although there is Angela's relationship, Wang Li is not considered an 'outsider', but how to say that it is also the first time to see the future 'old man', the two are still ready to go again in the afternoon.
"What, you're going to see Count Edward?" Hearing the conversation between the two, Eris was a little shocked on his face, but more than that, he was happy!
For her part, Eris was looking forward to Wang Li bringing her a grandson, a day that the London lady had been looking forward to for a long, long time.
The purpose of meeting Count Edward was undoubtedly to get married and to seek his opinion, and if Count Edward could agree, Wang Li and Angela could naturally start to consider the date of marriage.
Of course, even if Earl Edward disagrees, there is no such thing as 'parents' intentions and matchmakers' in England, and the two can still get married if they want to, but the marriage is not perfect.
Seeing Wang Li and the two nodding, Eris hugged Wang Li's head again with a look of surprise, and rubbed it between her two **, she asked a little nervously: "Allen, you have to behave well!" By the way, are you ready for clothes or something? Also, what about gifts? What gifts did you buy? ”
Wang Li pushed Eris away a little depressed, and then said, "Everything is ready, don't worry." ”
Eris nodded, "That's good, I'll have to show myself well this time, oops!" I'm so happy, it seems that I also have to discuss your marriage with Wang Hai. As she spoke, she glanced at Angela.
Being looked at like this, Angela's face turned rosy directly, although Britain is very open, but marriage is also a little shy for a woman
Since Earl Edward's return to London this year, he has lived in his manor house in north London, his private estate, where he has lived since his marriage to Mikay more than a decade ago.
At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Li and An Qi pulled the car and came here with gifts, and after parking the car at the manor, the two walked towards the villa in the middle of the manor.
At this time, Wang Li was very nervous.
The third life is a person, this is the first time he has gone to see the 'old man', it is said that the ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, in fact, for men, this step is more nervous.
In fact, although these members of the British royal family are a little extravagant and wasteful in ordinary times, if they don't go into business, they don't have much property, and Britain only allocates a part of the property every year to maintain the dignity of the royal family.
In the living room, Wang Li finally met the Earl Edward, who had been a long-time friend.
Earl Edward is only about the same height as Wang Li, but his face shows a soldier's fortitude, it is said that he was once a British marine, and participated in the United Nations peacekeeping force in West Asia, and has a good performance, and when he saw Wang Li, Earl Edward also showed a kind smile on his face.
When they really met, Wang Li was not nervous, he just carefully examined this future 'old man'.
I have to admit that although in Britain, the glory of the royal family has long been history, the royal power has become a shell, and the nobility is just a symbol of meaning, but in Earl Edward, there is still an elegant temperament, which is rarely seen in Angela.
This is a kind of traditional aristocracy, formed under the royal education.
Seeing Wang Li and Angela, Count Edward nodded with a smile, hugged Angela, and then turned his head to look at Wang Li, pointed to the sofa in the living room, and said, "You are here, sit casually." ”
As he spoke, he took the tray from the servant's hand, and gave each of them a cup of black tea, and then the servant brought a small porcelain plate with two tiers, on which were sandwiches, cakes, and some English desserts, and a plate of flowers was placed on the coffee table, as well as various knives and forks, and so on.
Wang Li bowed slightly and nodded, and said politely: "Thank you."
When everything was done, Earl Edward also sat down on the side of the sofa and said, "I heard yesterday that you were coming, and I didn't prepare anything. Your name is Alan, and I've heard your name a lot this year. ”
"It's nothing."
"Hmm."
Count Edward nodded and said, "Young man, you are very modest. I also love football and I've watched you play a lot and you've done really well. ”
"I thought you should have come a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to get married after waiting so long?"
Wang Li nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Earl, we are going to get married." ”
At this time, Angela's arms around Wang Li were also tightened, and her two big eyes kept staring at Count Edward's face.
In fact, she didn't know if her father would agree, she grew up in Queen Elizabeth's Buckingham Palace, and when she was a child, Earl Edward had been in the army, and she rarely saw each other, and she didn't know much about her father's thoughts.
Listening to Wang Li's words, Count Edward nodded calmly, took a sip of the black tea in front of him, and after a long while, he looked at Wang Li with his eyes and said, "Young man, I only want to ask you one question. ”
Seeing Wang Li nodding, he continued: "If I say that it's okay for you to get married, but you want to give up football, what will you do?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Li was stunned for a moment, and then frowned and thought
