Before going to Camp Nou, Chu Zhongtian had become one of the most unpopular figures in Barcelona, ​​not only because he led Hoffenheim to defeat Barcelona in the Champions League final that had just ended, but also because he saved Buzquez's shot twice in a row in the penalty shootout. The second shot was a completely venting anger. Even so, Chu Zhongtian did not give Buzquez a chance to vent. This shot was later played repeatedly by multiple TV stations. Of course, while the hosts were amazed that Chu Zhongtian reacted quickly, they did not forget to ridicule Barcelona. Barcelona lost the game and even had no chance to vent their anger.

Because of this incident, Barcelona fans were very unhappy with Chu Zhongtian, thinking that he was too ungraceful and being petty and like a child who never grew up.

Barcelona believed that Chu Zhongtian was completely a villain, and they would insult Barcelona if they won the ball, which they could not accept.

Before the second leg of the Super Cup began, Barcelona fans spoke to let Chu Zhongtian feel the anger of Barcelona fans.

Chinese media are quite worried about whether Chu Zhongtian will be affected in such an environment.

Mourinho was not worried at all. He frequently mentioned Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance in the Champions League before the game, and it looked like he was Chu Zhongtian's most loyal fan. This deeply stimulated Barcelona fans. Now in Real Madrid, there are two people who are the most hated by Barcelona fans. One of them is Chu Zhongtian, because he snatched the Champions League championship belonging to Barcelona, ​​making their dream of breaking the triple-champ Wembley. The other is Real Madrid's head coach Mourinho, who has faced Barcelona many times, and every time he appears at the Camp Nou, it can cause deafening booing in the stands.

Putting these two people who are most annoying in Barcelona together, Real Madrid seems to have done it on purpose... Barcelona fans obviously have been trying to give these two people a warning at Camp Nou.

However, when the game started, they found that Chu Zhongtian was not in the starting lineup. He was still sitting on the bench and sitting with Adebayo. This time, even Kaka and Gareth Bale started, and he was still a substitute.

Half of the boo they prepared were useless and could only be vented to Mourinho. But Mourinho didn't care. He sat peacefully in the coach's seat and watched the game.

This starting lineup disappointed Barcelona fans and also disappointed Chinese fans. Chinese TV stations still did not get the broadcast rights for the Spanish Super Cup, so Chinese fans could only wait in front of the computer in the middle of the night to fight against the craziest Internet speed and unclear broadcast signals in order to enjoy Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance at the Camp Nou - after the first round, everyone was attracted by Chu Zhongtian's last-minute counterattack.

Unexpectedly, Chu Zhongtian was arranged to sit on the bench again.

"This is so hateful! Is it easy for us Chinese fans to get up in the middle of the night to watch the game? Fuck!"

"At least you've been sleeping for a while, okay? I can stay in front of the computer and I'm so sleepy..."

"Didn't Mourinho and Lin Dan have a personal grudge? Is this a blatant revenge?"

"I just said that Chu Zhongtian's trip to Real Madrid is a complete tragedy! Real Madrid is a star black hole! People like Kaka don't get any good results when they go to Real Madrid. Can Chu Zhongtian get it? Return Kaka to Milan!"

"Seriously agree with the upstairs! How great is Chu Zhongtian coming to Manchester United! Manchester United only lacks such a midfield commander, and Sir Freud is also very good at coaching players. Under his training, Chu Zhongtian will definitely be able to go to another level. Isn't it easy for him and Manchester United to reach the top again?"

...A group of people were talking about Chu Zhongtian's choice online, and even among Real Madrid fans, there were people who complained about Mourinho's fault.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian, who was sitting on the bench, didn't know why he was on the bench. He felt that he performed very well in the last round. Although he only played for ten minutes, he instigated a goal. This goal helped expand the score to 3:1, and also made the team's second-round away trip more secure. Now Real Madrid plays more calmly on the court, and he can still hold on to Barcelona's fierce attack. It is said that he has made contributions.

In addition, before the game, Mourinho has been praising Chu Zhongtian's performance against Barcelona in front of the news media. Everyone understands that Mourinho values ​​Chu Zhongtian's performance in the game against Barcelona, ​​which will allow him to start in the second leg of the game against Barcelona.

But what about it?

Mourinho did not let Chu Zhongtian start, and he continued to sit on the bench.

Chu Zhongtian didn't quite understand. It was really because Mourinho didn't like him, so he took advantage of the public to take personal revenge?

But how could a person with such a narrow mind achieve such success from Inter Milan? How could he quickly win the love of all players when he goes to a team? Real Madrid's locker room is full of factions, but when Mourinho comes, no matter what faction it is, he is united closely around him.

Chu Zhongtian believes in his eyes. In his daily training, he feels that Mourinho is not the kind of person who is very difficult to get along with. Although he smiles a little less at himself, he does not deliberately find fault. His teammates at Real Madrid also look very respectful when talking about Mourinho.

And if he has a personal grudge with anyone, then he and C. Ronaldo also have a personal grudge. When the Portuguese played for Manchester United, Mourinho coached Chelsea, and both sides were direct competitors in the league. Mourinho once criticized C. Ronaldo for his favorite fall. Now? Ronaldo is the ace he relies on the most. No one will change Ronaldo, and no one will rotate him. And he has also spoken out for him many times, believing that everyone only knows to protect Messi, but no one says he wants to protect his Portuguese fellow countryman. You must know that C. Ronaldo has definitely not suffered less violations than Messi.

Chu Zhongtian couldn't figure it out.

But he had to figure it out because it was related to his future at Real Madrid. He did not transfer here to be a high-paying bench.

He is not satisfied with a Champions League champion. After tasting the taste of a European championship, he still wants to win more championships. He is standing at the top of Europe again and again.

He must understand the relationship between himself and Mourinho, whether Mourinho likes himself or not.

And there is something he needs to figure out - why did Mourinho let him take the bench in this game?

Is it because I feel that the pressure to play Barcelona away is too high, for the purpose of protecting myself?

Chu Zhongtian didn't feel that he needed protection, his psychological quality was quite strong.

The pressure formed by the expectations of hundreds of millions of people in China has not had any impact on him. What is the only tens of thousands of people in Camp Nou?

But does Mourinho know?

Chu Zhongtian felt that Mourinho should be a smart person, good at observing, and he should be able to see it.

So it must be something else that made him on the bench of his house...what was it?

※※ Mourinho has been sitting in the coaching seat and has not stood on the sidelines to command the game like Guardiola. The game lasted for 27 minutes, and the score was still 0:0, and Real Madrid led 3:1 in total, which allowed him to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai until now.

Whose credit is this?

Mourinho leaned forward slightly and turned his head to look at the bench.

Chu Zhongtian, who was sitting next to Adebayo and Marcelo, was staring at the stadium in a daze, not knowing whether he was watching the game intently or thinking about his thoughts.

If he was thinking about his concern, was he wondering why he was sitting on the bench again?

Think about it. If you can't figure it out, you are just like that, Chu.

Mourinho turned his head back and continued to watch the game.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian was still thinking. But his thoughts were quickly interrupted - a goal appeared on the field.

The Camp Nou was filled with huge cheers, and Barcelona fans jumped from the position and shouted their arms to cheer for the team's goal.

The goal scorer was Pedro. After receiving Iniesta's pass from the wing, he broke into the penalty area and then hit the football from Casillas under the blockade of Ramos.

"The total score is 3:2! Barcelona wins back a game!"

"Pedro! Pedro!!"

"Barcelona took the lead at home! They are only one goal away now!"

Barcelona players hugged excitedly.

The Real Madrid player held his head in disappointment.

Casillas was very dissatisfied with the team's defense, and he was chattering endlessly and didn't know what he was talking about. Any goalkeeper would be dissatisfied with conceding the ball, and he was no exception.

"How could Sergio let Pedro shoot so easily?"

"He missed someone while defending..."

"It's understandable. You have to know that Barcelona's middle penetration is very powerful. If I were him, I would also guard the middle lane instead of defending the side lane."

On the bench, everyone is also discussing the goal concealment. For the substitutes, concealing the goal may not be a bad thing. If the situation on the court changes, it means that Mourinho has to make some changes. Since the change is to be made, then the people on the bench have hope of playing.

Despite the end of the first half, Mourinho did not make a substitution. He just stood up and scolded loudly on the sidelines to make the players pay attention to defense.

In the end, Real Madrid held the score and only fell behind Barcelona one goal at halftime. This was a good thing. At least it was much better than they were two goals behind in the first half of the first leg of the national derby last season.

In fact, that 0:5 is not a reflection of the real strength of the two teams, and even Barcelona fans must admit this. If Mourinho was not pressured to play against Barcelona at Camp Nou, the final outcome would be difficult to predict.

However, Mourinho made the ambitious senior executives realize how overestimated it is to play against Barcelona away.

Since then, both Florentino and Madrid have never dared to point fingers at Mourinho's tactical arrangements. Now, it's hard to say whether Mourinho deliberately defeated a crushing defeat in exchange for more and more complete team building time. You should know that if he beat Barcelona away, all Real Madrid fans will ask him to win the European Championship this season. But that's a bit reluctant for Real Madrid... Now Mourinho insists on the defensive counterattack strategy at Camp Nou. Not to mention whether such a tactic can win, at least it can ensure that they won't lose too ugly.

Relying on defensive counterattacks, Real Madrid only conceded one goal in the first half, with the score of 0:1, and the result was pretty good.

Mourinho, who returned to the locker room, could not see any unhappy appearance. Although the team was behind, his face still had a smile, which made all Real Madrid players who returned to the locker room feel relieved - they knew that the head coach would not blame them for falling behind in the first half.

And when Mourinho and his players were setting up the second half in the locker room, Chu Zhongtian and other Real Madrid substitutes were warming up on the court.

There were still many people sitting in the stands at Camp Nou, and only a small number of people went to rest. Behind the goal where Chu Zhongtian warmed up was the stands where a group of Barcelona extreme fans were. They were very excited to see Chu Zhongtian. They put their fingers in their mouths one by one, and then booed at Chu Zhongtian.

Chu Zhongtian turned a deaf ear and let them swear and warmed up normally. He returned to the locker room ten minutes later. At this time, Mourinho had finished all the words and everyone was cheering each other up.

"We will definitely do it!"

"Defeat Barcelona! Super Cup is ours!"

A group of stars with unique star styles in front of fans were shouting shirtless and very ungraceful.

This is Real Madrid, which is actually not mysterious at all.

Seeing Chu Zhongtian warm up, Gareth Bale greeted him: "Will you play in the second half, Chu?" Because Chu Zhongtian can speak English, Bale often communicates with Chu Zhongtian, and the two are familiar with each other. Of course, if you want to know each other, the two met earlier. In the Champions League quarter-finals last season, Hoffenheim and Tottenham Hotspur drew together, and they fought twice. As a necessary understanding of their opponents, Bale knew Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian also knew Bale.

Speaking of which, Chu Zhongtian is not unfamiliar with Real Madrid. First of all, he played against Real Madrid twice last season. As the most threatening figure in Hoffenheim, he will naturally be highlighted by Mourinho to Real Madrid players. Then he also played against Ozil and Khedira in the Bundesliga and Gareth Bale in the Champions League quarter-finals. In addition, when he was at Hoffenheim, he worked with three former Real Madrid players, whether it was Metzeld, Van Nistruei or Gago, he had mentioned things to him about Real Madrid.

So he did not have the awareness of a newcomer when he went to Real Madrid.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "I don't know this."

Bale didn't know what to say. He felt that Chu Zhongtian's strength was nothing to say in terms of strength. Looking at his performance in the Champions League final, the invincible Barcelona could not stand alone. Not only did he perform well in the midfield, he could score goals and defend, but he could even defend the goal in the end. Bale watched that game in front of the TV. When he saw Chu Zhongtian standing in front of the goalkeeper gloves, he was already surprised. Later, he saw that he could save Pedro's goal that was bound to score, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide for a long time.

Later, the English media commented that Barcelona actually lost to one person in the final, and that person was Chu Zhongtian.

Such an outstanding person can't even play as a starter, but he can start at the Camp Nou. Bale can't understand why. Do you really think what the outside media said that Mourinho doesn't like Chu Zhongtian, so he deliberately doesn't give Chu Zhongtian the playing time?

But according to his observation, Mourinho is not that kind of person... He was puzzled. At this time, he could only frown and shake his head.

Kaka came up and patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder: "It's okay, I think you will definitely be able to play in the second half."

Because of the first round of the game, Kaka now has a good relationship with Chu Zhongtian. Kaka, c. Ronaldo and Chu Zhongtian are the three most valuable people in Real Madrid. Their relationship is quite good. In fact, they have formed a small circle intentionally or unintentionally. Chu Zhongtian is not like forming cliques, but some factions are not something you can't participate if you don't want to participate.

If you have more than 20 first-team players in a team, you will always have better relationships, more speculative teammates, more ordinary teammates, who can get along well with others, and maybe you will have less relationships, but on the surface everything is acceptable.

Those who have good relationships and are more speculative will naturally be together, train together, eat together, and even stay in a hotel. Over time, a small circle will be formed.

This is what is called "there are rivers and lakes where there are people."

Chu Zhongtian didn't care whether he could play in the second half. He now wanted to understand Mourinho's attitude towards him.

The halftime break was short, and players from both sides walked out of the locker room and walked onto the court.

Chu Zhongtian walked straight into the bench, and then the other substitutes there sat down together to watch the second half.

The stadium stands of Camp Nou were filled with people. When Mourinho appeared on the coach's seat, Chu Zhongtian could even clearly hear the fans cursing in an excited tone. Some things were Catalan, and Chu Zhongtian couldn't understand, but more of them were the internationally common "fuck_you" and the high-rise middle finger.

Chu Zhongtian also enjoyed such treatment in the Champions League final, and Mourinho seemed to have no regard for these insults at all. He stood on the sidelines, behind him were Barcelona fans who kept raising their middle fingers, and ahead of him was the ongoing game.

Such a man has a great ability to withstand pressure... Chu Zhongtian found that he was not very concerned about the games on the court, but was more interested in Mourinho.
