Chapter 211: First Arrival in Madrid
Madrid was originally part of the Arab Shijie called "Magritte" until 1083 AD, when it was conquered by the valiant Alfonso VI and became a Christian territory. For a long time, however, Madrid was not the center of the Kingdom of Spain, not far from Madrid, and the city of Toledo remained the true center of power, culture, religion and military.
At the beginning of the 17th century, the city of Madrid officially became the capital of Spain and the capital of the Autonomous Community of Madrid. Madrid is located in the heart of Spain, and the Plaza del Sun in the center of the city has a zero point mark, which radiates the distance of the whole country, thus symbolizing the importance of the city.
Madrid has never been a center of industry and industry, and perhaps for this reason, football was born and produced relatively late. But in a city rich in history and culture, it's almost impossible not to give birth to football. Unlike the neighing of Manchester locomotives and the cries of Andalusian miners, Madrid football grew from the first day of its birth in a hotbed away from poverty, and with a wealthy Catalan businessman and a group of cash-hungry clerks and students, Real Madrid appeared in Chamartine, the most expensive district of the city today, and soon surrounded the team with a crowd of fat cigar-smoking men, until it was crowned royalty. Since then, the city has had the first brand, with the tenacious rise of Atletico Madrid, the unwilling loneliness of Rayo Vallecano, and the reflection of a number of surrounding satellite city teams, Madrid finally has a share of football in more than ten centuries of cultural precipitation.
When it comes to Madrid football, fans first think of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, rivals in the same city, while Rayo Vallecano, a satellite city of Madrid, has become a forgotten team for various reasons. Compared with the more civilian Sheet Army, Real Madrid's brilliant record is more like a gorgeous and elegant aristocracy and more famous, and the six European Champions League trophies have eclipsed countless European giants.
Many fans now know that in the early 90s, Dutchman Cruyff led Barcelona to four consecutive La Liga titles, but who knows that before Cruyff, Real Madrid also achieved five consecutive league titles?
Fiorentina will face such a club with a special status in Spanish football.
Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, abbreviated as the Bernabéu Stadium. Santiago Bernabeu is an icon of Real Madrid, and during his tenure as president of Real Madrid, he successfully led and completed this monumental project. In honour of the Bernabeu's contribution to Real Madrid, the stadium was officially named after Santiago Bernabeu on 4 January 1955.
The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the home of Real Madrid, was officially inaugurated on December 14, 1947, with a capacity of 80,354 spectators, and is one of Shijie's most famous football stadiums.
On the afternoon of November 2, the 80,000-seat Bernabeu Stadium was packed, and countless fans wearing Real Madrid's white jerseys entered the stadium to cheer on their team.
"Hello, President Corleone, I'm Lorenzo Sanz, the president of Real Madrid, and it's a pleasure to be able to enjoy this wonderful match with you." Zhuang Mingge followed the staff of the Bernabeu Stadium into the VIP box of the booked haode, and as soon as he entered the room, a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair walked towards Zhuang Mingge.
"Hello, President Sanz, it's an honour to be able to watch the game with the President of Real Madrid." Zhuang Mingge said politely, he had a good relationship with Cruyff, and he couldn't think of any reason for the Real Madrid supporter to make a case with him, an "ally" of Barcelona.
"Haha, Chairman Corleone, don't be so cold...... While you have a good personal relationship with Cruyff in Barcelona, it doesn't affect the friendship between Fiorentina and Real Madrid, who are not as radical as the Catalans. Sans saw the incomprehension in Zhuang Mingge's eyes, and Youhaode explained.
Come to think of it, the stars who have historically transferred from Barcelona to Real Madrid have always been subjected to all kinds of threats and "welcome rituals" from Barcelona fans when facing their old clubs, such as the pig's head that Figo received...... The star who defected to Barcelona from Real Madrid has hardly suffered such extreme treatment, and the nationalism of the Catalans is on full display in this regard.
"Well, it looks like I'm worrying too much, Mr. Sans." Zhuang Mingge saw that Sans took the initiative to solve this concern for himself, so he was no longer as restrained as before, and said, "I see that the game is about to start, Mr. Sans, I think we can save those unnecessary politeness and hurry to the seat to watch the game." ”
Zhuang Mingge's meaning is clear: everything will be said after the game, and the main task now is to watch this game that is crucial for both teams.
Sans didn't say anything, nodded to Zhuang Mingge, and quickly returned to his seat and put on his headphones - it seemed that he was also concerned about his team's performance in this game.
……
For the reasons mentioned earlier, no one from either team will be dismissive of this game.
This can be seen from the starting lineup announced by both sides in this game, both sides can be said to be basically elite, Real Madrid's lineup is the old courtier Buyo as the goalkeeper, the two fullbacks are Shendo and Enrique Flores, the central defender Alcotta and Sanchis Jr. are partners, the back is Michel and Hierro, the right midfielder Luis Enrique, the left midfielder Amavisca, and the forward partners are the young Raul who became famous last season and the "Horror Ivan" Zamorano, In addition to Argentine midfielder Redondo who is still placed on the bench by his mentor Baldano to "wait for call", this can basically be said to be the strongest main lineup that Real Madrid can come up with at present.
And Ranieri's side is naturally not to be outdone, goalkeeper Toldo, the two fullbacks are Billindelli and Lanna, and the central defenders are partnered by youngsters Nesta and Ferrara; In midfield, Di Biagio at the back, Effenberg and Davies "Boar" Davies in the midfield, Rui Costa in the midfield, and Filip Inzaghi and Batistuta in the forward line - the reason why Costa replaced Djokaeff was mainly due to Real Madrid's lack of defensive liliang and running ability in the middle, and Costa's accurate passing can be maximized in such situations.
After the players on both sides set up on the field, the referee of the game, Frisk, glanced at the time on his watch, put the whistle in his mouth, and blew the whistle for the start of the game!
