Chapter 154: The "Light of Asia" That Sets Off an Idol Boom in East Asia

"If it weren't for the principle of avoidance from the same country, I would have liked to have drawn Valencia in the quarter-finals, how comfortable it would have been, I would have played two more league games and not have to take a long flight."

"That's a beautiful idea. It's okay to draw Porto and Celtic, just don't draw Donetsk and Galatasaray, it's cold over there! ”

"Hey, I think of the away game in Moscow last season, the turf, the weather~"

"The Virgin Mary's frosted artificial turf is a nightmare! Not to mention, it would be terrible to do it again this season! ”

"Actually, if you want me to say, draw Arsenal and Milano."

"Shut up!"

After the daily training on December 7, the Real Madrid players who received a massage and relaxation in the physiotherapy area chatted about the follow-up Champions League knockout rounds.

At first, the group chatted happily, until Leon joined in and spoke.

But before he could finish his sentence, he was suppressed by his teammates.

"Your mouth has magic, don't say it, when the time comes, we will really draw Arsenal and AC Milan, we are not afraid, it will also consume some physical energy and energy."

Brother Long, who had been watching the excitement before, spoke now, and tapped on Li Ang's head, signaling Li Ang not to "do it".

"By the way, is the lion cub familiar with neon? We're going to Neon soon, what's there to do in that place? ”

Kalehon, who had never been to Japan before, asked Leon with great interest.

However, he stopped Leon from asking this question.

Li Ang has watched a lot of neon movies, cough, the normal kind, if you want to talk about playing and eating, he can barely understand a little.

But let's be honest, for their European teammates, Japan's food culture and some of the small, delicate landscapes can be appealing.

But he himself can't say what is attractive.

If you really want to eat and play, if you have enough time, it is really better to fly to the Jiaodong Peninsula for two laps after the game.

It's a pity that the schedule is tight, and you can't fly.

Li Ang tilted his head and thought for a moment, but finally shook his head and decided not to introduce it randomly.

He himself was not interested, so don't say it so that Callejon will think that he is perfunctory.

The discussion in the physiotherapy area is so heated that no Real Madrid player will think they will not win the Club World Cup.

It's not about inflating, it's about the confidence you should have, and the historical Chelsea can lose to Corinthians because Chelsea are already in a rebuilding period.

Today's Real Madrid is at its peak, and its hard power is the first in Europe, and there is no difference between the champion teams of other continents.

Just press it to death, where are there so many twists and turns, and in the end, even Corinthians can't win, so what are you talking about defending the Champions League?

Forget it as soon as possible, so as not to meet Bayern in the future.

The relaxed players of the Real Madrid team laughed and began to look forward to the wonderful feeling of having a six-time crown.

And for the fifteenth round of La Liga that will come the next day, they will not worry at all.

In the last round of the Champions League, Jose Mourinho opted for a complete rotation, so Real Madrid's main players were well rested.

Real Madrid will be the main players in this league, although Valladolid is currently unexpectedly ranked seventh in La Liga as a promoted horse.

But in the eyes of Real Madrid's main players, there is not much difference between the seventh team in La Liga and the teams in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga.

As it turns out, Real Madrid's current main team does not think this way because of their confidence.

The next day's midfield La Liga, Real Madrid did play a complete game at Valladolid's home stadium.

According to the usual way of playing, in fact, Real Madrid will not attack and suppress at the beginning so actively.

But Mourinho wanted his disciples to adapt to the new style of play in the Club World Cup, so he simply used Valladolid to "practice".

It has to be said that Valladolid's backfield defense, which has only conceded 15 goals in 14 league games, is indeed an excellent whetstone.

In the face of this defensive system in the middle and back, which can be said to be in the top four in La Liga, Real Madrid opened up their arsenal and played with both wings and penetration in the middle.

Leon also threw himself heavily into attacking today, but his attacking luck may have run out in the last round against Atletico Madrid.

In the last round of the league, he made a contribution to the shooting, and he was very addicted.

But this time, after two long-range shots flew out of the crossbar slightly, Leon knew that he was not lucky to score this goal today.

However, his aggressive interspersed balls still created more attacking opportunities for his teammates.

Valladolid took advantage of Real Madrid's big pressure to counterattack, and scored two goals at the end of the game, which was a rare highlight moment for their entire team

However, after conceding a full five goals, Valladolid fans could not be happy.

Real Madrid stopped after 70 minutes, conceding a full number of slap goals, which really caused a serious loss of confidence for the whole Valladolid team.

However, they are promoted after all, and it is inevitable that they still have trust in official statistics.

Other teams in La Liga, such as Malaga, Real Betis, and Getafe, all understand that when they meet the current Real Saga Atletico, they will honestly lower their psychological expectations first.

Looking at the results and points, it can be seen that Huangsa is the only class, and it is not a La Liga-level team at all.

Atletico Madrid has climbed up now, and the results were also awesome before, and they played the rest of the La Liga teams.

The result? It's not like it's not just a matter of being pinched when you meet Real Madrid!

So, now look at the official data of La Liga, you can, but you have to put aside the data of Huangsa first.

To compare, it is also to compare with other normal La Liga teams.

Atletico Madrid is now almost on the verge of a dimensionality reduction blow to other La Liga teams, not to mention the two teams of Real Madrid, which are still in their prime.

After harvesting enough confidence and happiness, and by the way, leaving enough frustration for Valladolid, the whole Real Madrid team rushed back to Madrid overnight with joy.

After a night's rest, on the morning of December 9, the Real Madrid coaching staff boarded the plane to Japan.

At this moment, the European and East Asian media also began to promote the Club World Cup.

Just like when Barcelona went to Japan at the end of '09.

The whole football world is waiting for the moment when Real Madrid will actually lift the six-time crown.

Of course, there are teams that don't want to see this scene, and Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are naturally the clubs with the strongest resistance among them.

But again, even if they hate Real Madrid, they will have to admit that Real Madrid is the only big devil in football at present.

99% of Real Madrid won this six-crown title, and the teams of East Asia and the Americas can't be stopped!

※※※

After a twelve-hour flight, Leon and his teammates were somewhat out of spirits.

Even though they had slept briefly a few times on the plane, there was still an unconcealable tiredness in their eyes.

The only good news may be that it will be around 5 o'clock in the morning, and there are not many local Japanese fans who have received the news to pick up the airport.

So the Real Madrid players arrived at the hotel by bus smoothly.

This will make Leon and his teammates the same, after a simple rinse, he went straight to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

slept directly from 6 o'clock in the morning to more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the Real Madrid players woke up one after another to wash up and eat.

Don't worry about jet lag, Real Madrid's first training session in Japan will start on time at four o'clock.

Pintusla practiced fitness today, so as soon as the two-hour training was over, the Real Madrid stars were the most energetic and had to be trained.

Going to bed on time tonight and returning to the normal rhythm of the two training sessions tomorrow is no problem at all.

And just when Real Madrid was actively adjusting its state, the sports media throughout East Asia had already been agitated.

In the morning, pictures of Real Madrid's arrival at the airport in Japan in the early hours of the morning were already publicized on the Internet.

The major sports newspapers in East Asia have begun to compete for the first place in propaganda and reporting.

The press corps of Huaguo Radio 5 left for Japan that morning.

In the evening, as soon as the training session on the Real Madrid side was over, a large number of reporters waiting on the sidelines finally waited for the opportunity to interview the players.

"Leon! Here and here! ”

Before he had time to go back to the locker room to wash and change his jersey, Li Ang didn't mind waving his hand and trotting over with a smile as soon as he heard He Wei's shout.

The rest of the Real Madrid players told reporters that they needed to go back to the dressing room to get their personal image in order.

Therefore, seeing the scene of Li Ang's generous interview with the Chinese media, reporters from South Korea and Japan could only wait with envy on the sidelines.

Leon's hair is now cut short, slightly longer than his head, so he doesn't look sloppy with some beads of sweat.

Under the winter sunlight in the evening, Leon's smiling handsome face and sweat clinged to the jersey, and the strong muscles that looked particularly prominent broke directly into the camera of Channel 5.

Because it was not a live broadcast, Li Ang didn't feel embarrassed, he generously greeted the domestic audience first.

Some of the questions asked by He Wei were relatively friendly, and Li Ang also briefly talked about Real Madrid's outlook for the Club World Cup this time.

But just as he was being interviewed, the Japanese reporter in South Korea on the other side quickly took a number of photos of his interview.

A few minutes later, online sports forums in Japan and South Korea began with a frying pan, followed by a topic about Leon that spread across the Internet.

Good guys, when the discussion started, the fans of South Korea and Japan, as well as the onlookers who ate melons, were not calm.

"This is a strong young player, he is strong enough to represent the highest level of Asian players today, and his appearance is better than most male stars in Asian entertainment today."

A well-known Japanese sports journalist's personal social media statement received a large number of likes and retweets.

And the picture of Li Ang holding the Champions League trophy and shouting in celebration last season under his caption is also once again circulating on the Japanese Internet.

Many Chinese fans are not particularly understandable after seeing the current situation of Japanese public opinion carried by domestic big hands.

If Japan produces a super genius similar to Li Ang, then there may indeed be many fans in China who will prefer such an East Asian genius.

However, it is definitely not as hot as the whole people in Japan, and there are even a lot of speeches of worship and praise.

South Korea also set off a heated discussion about Li Ang, but the media is quite calm, and Li Ang can afford to praise "the light of Asia" or something.

Public opinion on the Japanese side is about to mold Leon into a "perfect idol" in East Asia.

"Our little lion is handsome and upright enough, but it's not up to the one they blow, right?"

Many domestic fans began to complain.

Some older guys even posted to discuss the root cause of this phenomenon.

The "Mu Qiang" remarks made by a fan brother who is now working in Japan is to the point, which directly solves the doubts of domestic fans.

"If Leon hadn't achieved what he has today, one less Champions League, or one less league, the Japanese media wouldn't have been so exaggerated.

But it is because Leon has played well both on loan and after returning to Real Madrid, and has almost won the club's Grand Slam glory in just over two years of his career.

Therefore, his achievement of breaking the ceiling in Asia was quickly praised and recognized by Japanese fans and the media with the blessing of his appearance and age."

This statement is quite reasonable, and this old brother is now working in Japan and can personally experience the fermentation of public opinion in Japan, so it naturally seems that his statement is more authentic and credible.

Li Ang's side also felt more and more that something was wrong.

Because whether it is outside their hotel or on the outer road of the training ground, there are more and more Japanese fans holding up slogans in support of him in the past two days.

This concept of "many" is not as simple as adding from hundreds to a thousand.

It was from a few thousand people to a sudden increase of more than 10,000!

By noon on December 13th, a support team composed of almost all young girls stopped outside the hotel where Real Madrid was staying in unison shouting slogans, and Li Ang was completely in a state of confusion!

"Damn it! It's so popular in Japan! Little lion, you're not kind! You said you don't have a fan base in Japan!! ”

When Ma Pongpong saw this support team of hundreds of young women, he was the first to hold back, and stretched out his hands to grab Li Ang's collar.

Li Ang could only wave his hand with a bitter face.

This is really wronging him, he has never been to Japan for activities, never before, and he has not played against the Japanese team in the year of the national youth team!

This is the first time he has come to Japan to play with the team, and he has never done any publicity, how did he know that he could have such a huge popularity in Japan!

Fortunately, Karanka smiled and came over to help Leon relieve the siege.

In order not to cause more sensation and trouble, Li Ang did not show up in advance in front of this group of fans.

The staff of the hotel and Real Madrid Club came forward to comfort the enthusiastic fans outside.

Knowing that Real Madrid would stay in Japan for a day after the Club World Cup, and that Real Madrid's stars would meet them at that time, most of the fans slowly dispersed.

But a large number of Leon and Ronaldo personal fans are still resolutely waiting outside the hotel, including the Leon personal reinforcement team composed of hundreds of girls.

In the end, Li Ang couldn't bear it, and opened the curtains of the car window when he rushed to the competition venue with the team in the afternoon.

He posted a handwritten thank you and a note urging the girls to go home as soon as possible on the window of the car, in English, of course.

He didn't know if it would have the effect, but at least he had persuaded him.

But he didn't see the group of little girls who were almost crying in the crowd, and the Japanese media who were constantly taking pictures around them.

So before the start of the game in which Real Madrid debuted, a news of "Li Ang's female fans crying excitedly" became popular again in the three East Asian countries.

And in Japan, the focus of public opinion is not the discussion of whether this group of girls may chase the wrong star, but Li Ang's "consolation" is too considerate and warm-hearted.

Fortunately, Li Ang, who was in this meeting, no longer paid attention to the public opinion situation outside the game.

So these topics of praising him didn't make him feel embarrassed to pick his feet on the spot.

At 6:30 p.m., Real Madrid, fully prepared, began their first Club World Cup match against Monterrey FC to the cheers of more than 40,000 local fans.

The Toyota Stadium, which was supposed to remain neutral, was almost completely turned into Real Madrid's home stadium in this game.

Of course, in Real Madrid's full-fire performance and the production of six goals, the fans at the Toyota Stadium can only feel happy and excited!

The Japanese commentators and special guests who commented on the game that night also exclaimed again and again.

"This is the true level of the number one giant!"

Well, in fact, Real Madrid still took a hand, scoring four goals in the first half, and only scored two goals in the second half.

Leon didn't have an assist today, but he scored a powerful long-range shot from outside the box to repay the local fans for their support these days.

After a 6-0 win over Monterrey, Real Madrid and Corinthians will face off for the Club World Cup title on 16 December.

And it was also after this game that the whole Real Madrid team didn't stay long, so they packed their bags and rushed to Yokohama City.

The final will be held at the Yokohama International Stadium in Yokohama City.

The Real Madrid players, who had just finished stepping on the pitch that night, suddenly had the feeling that they were playing an away game in the Champions League.

It's just not stressful.

Even Corinthians are one of the biggest football clubs in South America, but to be honest, they don't feel much different from a team in the middle of La Liga.

Mourinho did not change his tactical style of play in the final, and still pressed forward strongly at the beginning, completely killing Corinthians' midfield rhythm and playing siege.

Corinthians' defense is still good, at least much better than Monterrey.

In the first 20 minutes, Real Madrid failed to break down their defence.

However, in the 22nd minute, Real Madrid, who had a set-piece opportunity in front, showed absolute dominance and dominance in the field of high-altitude balls!

Li Ang borrowed Pepe's cover in the middle of the penalty area, and successfully rushed forward to beat Corinthians' old central defender Chikang to complete the head-shaking attack!

His powerful header opened Corinthians' goal and opened the way for Real Madrid to victory!

Corinthians resisted fiercely, looking a bit like they wanted to do a miracle.

But after they pressed out to make an attacking attempt, Real Madrid made a quick counterattack with two crisp breaks!

4-1!

Real Madrid beat Corinthians by three goals at the end of the game to finally win their last trophy of the year!

The more than 70,000 fans at the scene were also quite excited, after all, it was extremely enviable to witness the historic moment when Real Madrid won the annual six crowns, no matter how many years have passed, and take it out to reminisce about it!

Before the medal ceremony after the victory, Leon deliberately approached Corinthians' No. 8 midfielder, comforted him and exchanged shirts with him.

This player is called Paulinho.

"Your future is in Europe, don't be discouraged, keep up your good work!"

Paulinho was grateful for Leon's cheering.

After a series of decoration processes, the live DJ cheered loudly.

Real Madrid finally lifted the FIFA Club World Cup trophy high on the podium!

At this moment, they completed the feat of six crowns in 2012!

And Li Ang has also set off a fanatical wave of "perfect idols" in East Asia!

This state is too bad, alas

It is impossible to take a leave of absence!

It's 7,000 words away, it's better to count it, foodies remember it, and the bigwigs will help me remember it.

The foodie continued to code the word slowly.

But I shouldn't be able to post a second chapter tonight.

I don't believe it, hard top, I can't top this state yet!

(End of chapter)
