Chapter 50 Chu Zhongtian and Alonso

c. Ronaldo's goal ended the game early. In the remaining time, it would be great that Arsenal could score a goal that saved his face, not to mention having to equalize the score or turn defeat into victory. This is a completely impossible task.

This goal did make Arsenal players very frustrated and panic. After the re-telection, some people wanted to counterattack immediately, while others felt that the situation was hopeless and the team was not unified, so their performance was naturally a mess. The key to their frustration and panic was the time to score. If Ronaldo scored ten minutes earlier, it might also make Arsenal players ignite their fighting spirit to counterattack. But at the last moment of the game, it was almost time to stop time for injury, and there was too little time left for Arsenal... The next time passed quickly, and when the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the score was frozen at 2:0.

Real Madrid won a valuable away victory, which laid a very good foundation for them to win the first place in the group. As soon as the whistle sounded, Mourinho showed everyone his unique scene. He did not follow the post-match convention to shake Wenger's hand, but turned around and walked into the passage... Before the game, someone else asked whether Wenger and Mourinho would shake hands after the game to talk about it. Now they saw the result, Mourinho ignored Wenger and left as a winner.

But this did not embarrass Wenger, because Wenger did not intend to shake hands with Mourinho. After the game, he stood on the sidelines, frowned, feeling dissatisfied with the team's defeat, and did not notice whether Mourinho next to him had left or stayed.

"The game ends! Mourinho defeated Wenger again. For Arsenal Wenger, if you want to break this embarrassing record, you may have to wait... The latest opportunity is in the Champions League group stage two weeks later. Arsenal will be at the Bernabeu Stadium and play against Real Madrid. This may be the last chance of Wenger this season..."

The Spanish commentator said proudly, not believing in his words that Arsenal could defeat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

※※After the game, a Chinese media declared proudly: "The media in North London will no longer dare to mention that Zhongtian is a substitute Fabregas! No one is anyone's substitute. Chu Zhongtian is Chu Zhongtian. He is unique. He is the best midfielder in the world football world today, no one!"

The London media did not mention this matter at all. They were analyzing Arsenal's path to promotion in the group. After losing to Real Madrid at home, Real Madrid has shown their strong strength. It is almost impossible for Arsenal to defeat Real Madrid away, so perhaps their only ending is to strive for second place in the group.

Madrid's media naturally praised Real Madrid's performance. What makes people happy most is not the final score, but the process. From the process, everyone saw the gap in strength between Real Madrid and Arsenal. Real Madrid is now more powerful than last season. The victory of this game has brought Madrid media's praise of Real Madrid to a new level.

Many people have begun to plan to win the Champions League trophy for Mourinho.

Last season, Mourinho had a note that made people disagree. There is a saying that Mourinho planned to win the double championship, because the number on the note was thirty-eight league games, thirteen UEFA Champions League games, and another number six was not known what it meant. If it was used to refer to the King's Cup, six games were only enough for Real Madrid to reach the quarterfinals.

This final statement is naturally self-defeating, because Mourinho has not won a single Real Madrid champion.

After the end of last season, Barcelona's media sneered at Mourinho, saying that he had made a bold statement at the beginning, but ended up empty-handed, which was really embarrassing. Mourinho thought this result was normal, because Barcelona was a mature team that continued the same football philosophy and played for more than 20 years, and his Real Madrid has only been a team for a year. If Real Madrid can beat Barcelona and steal the championship, it would not be the glory of Real Madrid, but the shame of Barcelona. So it is normal to lose to Barcelona in the championship battle.

The media believe that half of this is true and half of it is false. It is normal for Real Madrid to lose to Barcelona, ​​but it is true, because it is true. Football has its own rules. But if Mourinho can accept this result calmly and think it is no big deal, that would be wrong. With Mourinho's temper, he would definitely not be able to see this. He had a 0:5 revenge at the Camp Nou Camp that lost to Barcelona at the time of the Nou Camp... Real Madrid was in the construction period last season, so

Can Real Madrid still be in the construction period for a season? Nowadays, it is a high-tempo society, so it is impossible to allow a team to be built for two consecutive years, especially a giant club like Real Madrid, who must achieve results. For teams like Real Madrid that win the runner-up is a huge failure, it is already very interesting to allow Mourinho to be empty in one season. So no matter what this season, you must win the championship, whether it is a league championship or a Champions League championship. Of course, it is better to win both championships.

Since you are going to win the championship this season, is Real Madrid ready for strength?

Madrid's media believe that through the past two months of games, they believe that Mourinho's team has already possessed such abilities. Although it is not 100%, with the current strength of Real Madrid, as long as it performs normally, it is possible to win the championship.

Especially in the game against Arsenal, their strength was fully demonstrated. They were still calm in the away game, facing strong opponents. They had not seen such Real Madrid for a long time.

Some Madrid media analyzed why Real Madrid had such a big difference in the two seasons, mainly because of Chu Zhongtian's arrival. His joining stabilized Real Madrid's midfield and allowed Real Madrid to straighten his waist.

Of course, this article quickly introduced to China by Chinese media, making it very exciting for Chinese readers and fans to read.

※※※But Chu Zhongtian still didn't score.

Foreign media do not care whether Chu Zhongtian scores a goal. After all, he is a midfielder. His positioning is the commander, organizer, not the striker. So whether to score a goal, when to score, and how many goals are not the topic they care about.

Domestic media are very concerned. It seems that scoring is the only criterion for measuring whether Chu Zhongtian's success in Real Madrid. Some media even couldn't wait to put Chu Zhongtian in the hat of "goal anxiety" and said that Chu Zhongtian is now starting to feel anxious. Because he doesn't score, Mourinho also has some doubts about his ability... How bad is this to compile such a report?

When someone transferred this to Chu Zhongtian, Chu Zhongtian once again experienced the degree of the lack of a lower limit in some domestic media. However, he did not respond. He felt that such a thing was not worth responding to. If the media were to worry, they would worry about it. If they thought they had so-called "goal anxiety disorder", they would think about it. He couldn't control what the fans thought. He responded and might just let these media hype it up.

Anyway, he has no anxiety disorder and his position in the team has been unprecedentedly consolidated. It is enough for him to know this. His main position in Real Madrid is not given by these journalists and media, so he does not need to be responsible for them.

As for the question of when to score a goal, it will naturally be scored. When a Chinese reporter asked him this question, he answered this way.

※※※In addition to training and competitions, Chu Zhongtian's daily life is very dull. If Emily is there, she will accompany her to go out for a shopping trip, or drive to a escort outing in the countryside, or she will have a small party with her friends in the team.

His new house has been renovated and he can move in in another month. At that time, he will invite all his teammates who are willing to come. He has settled in Madrid and no longer has to stay in a hotel every day.

In addition, he has learned Spanish. Portuguese and Spanish are very similar, almost equivalent to the difference between Chinese dialects - of course, it is definitely not the difference between Sichuan dialect and Minnan dialect - so he learns it very quickly. With his language talent, he can now communicate with Spanish in Spanish on any occasion.

This has increased his relationship with the Spanish local gang players and Argentina players on the team, making his position in the team more reliable.

As long as you can communicate, there are basically no contradictions or problems that cannot be solved. Chu Zhongtian firmly believes in this truth, so he actively communicates with his teammates and never acts silently in the locker room. Benzema was unhappy in Real Madrid, and could not find his state on the court, and had few friends in the locker room. In the end, Zidane came to help him integrate into the team. It was because he couldn't speak Spanish and could not speak anything except French.

Real Madrid is right, i is the world of Spanish and Portuguese, so he seems very silent in the locker room and never participates in jokes between his teammates, just like a marginal figure. How can such a person cooperate with other teammates on the court? If you don’t contact others, how can others understand what kind of person you are? How can you know what you think on the court? They are more willing to pass football to people who are familiar with them than a stranger.

Now Benzema has gradually integrated into the team with the help of Zidane, so his performance is quite remarkable.

No one helped Chu Zhongtian integrate into the team. He integrated into the team entirely with his own strength and attitude.

His performance on the football field has conquered those celebrity teammates. Real Madrid players have a sense of arrogance. When they think your level is not good, they will not pay attention to you. Especially an outsider, this feeling is more obvious. But if you have the same abilities as theirs, they will be very happy to accept you.

To put it bluntly, in Real Madrid, as long as you are a real superstar, you won't worry about any locker room issues. Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo and Raul, and Beckham have never heard of becoming victims of the locker room faction struggle. They are quite like princes in charge, and even the head coach has to be respectful to them. If anyone dares to show the superstars' face, the superstars sue the club chairman Florentino, and the head coach will have to leave. What was the reason for Real Madrid's head coach Camacho resigning after only more than a month? Isn't it because of the tension with the superstars in the team? He asked the lazy Ronaldo to run the circle, and Ronaldo retorted: "Who has ever seen a pianist carry the piano?" Camacho, who couldn't handle the superstars, was unwilling to continue to swallow his anger in the team and chose to resign.

Real Madrid may only be suitable for two types of coaches. One is Boske's kind-hearted type, so that all big-name stars can convince and play under him. The other should be Mourinho's type, the superstars in the coaching world are quite compatible with the superstars among the players. Moreover, his methods of rule are very rich and effective. All the players in the team he coaches are competing to play for him.

Chu Zhongtian felt that his relationship with Mourinho was improving, or there was no major problem from the beginning. Anyway, Mourinho and himself were talking and laughing during training, and they were not as nervous as the outside world thought. Perhaps because of winning consecutively, the foreign media now have a positive evaluation of Mourinho and the team, and the pressure from the club's senior management is also very small. The season has not yet reached the stage of championship competition, and the pursuit of results is not so urgent.

The atmosphere inside the team is relaxing.

Of course, this is just a superficial phenomenon. Chu Zhongtian knows what Mourinho's goal this season is - the tenth European Champions League in Real Madrid's history.

This is also the reason why he chose to come to Real Madrid. Real Madrid has an urgent need for championships, and the team's strength is here, so he came here to compete for the championship. He is almost twenty-eight years old and he doesn't know how long his peak state can last, so this transfer may be the last choice in the glorious period of his career. He hopes to win as many championship trophys as possible in this limited number of years.

He admitted that his transfer was very utilitarian, but isn’t professional football a utilitarian world? He came here to play football to win, not to lose. Who doesn’t like the championship?

※※※After playing against Arsenal, Mourinho began to continue to study the coexistence of Chu Zhongtian and Alonso. In the next league, Alonso will definitely start, and then it will be the key to whether these two midfielders can coexist. If Chu Zhongtian and Alonso can coexist and perform well, then there will be no need to worry about Real Madrid's waist throughout the season. But what if the two cannot coexist? A game cannot explain the problem, Mourinho plans to experiment more

A few games, let’s see the effect. If it still doesn’t work, we can only break up and let one of them be a rotation player... This is a bad thing for the team’s locker room. Alonso is a very important member of the team as a local Spanish player. He doesn’t speak much, but he is very authoritative in the locker room. Last season, the media made Alonso the real captain of the Galaxy Battleship. If he can’t play the game, the team’s locker room will definitely be turbulent.

What about Chu Zhongtian? The star bought for 70 million euros was asked to sit on the bench. He didn't know whether the locker room would cause turmoil, but there would definitely be turmoil between the club's senior management and him... If the coexistence of Alonso and Chu Zhongtian was not very good, it would be difficult for anyone to be a substitute, which is a very troublesome thing.

Therefore, Mourinho hopes that the team's transformation can be completed smoothly, and Chu Zhongtian would be better off having some chemical reaction with Alonso like he and Kaka.

Judging from the training in recent days, there are still some problems with the cooperation between the two, but in general, Mourinho is quite satisfied. I just wait for actual test.

※※※But the media will not let Real Madrid prepare for the battle so easily.

Just the day after Real Madrid finished his match with Arsenal, a "stunning news" suddenly broke out in a sports newspaper from Catalonia - "...Xavi Alonso obviously can't stand the days of continuing to sit on the bench at the Bernabeu. He has already submitted a transfer application to the senior management of Real Madrid, hoping to leave Real Madrid. At present, Mourinho trusts Chu, who has joined the team more than this Basque man... After Alonso feels that he has no position in Real Madrid, he hopes to leave... There are many teams that are interested in him now, and Manchester United from the Premier League are the most eager..."

This article seems to be true, because everyone knows that Chu Zhongtian has squeezed Alonso's position. In the game against Arsenal, he thought Alonso would start before the game, but he sat on the bench and sat until the end of the game, and did not even get a minute of playing time.

Then even more intense news was revealed, saying that Alonso and Chu Zhongtian were already in conflict, and neither side looked down on each other and both regarded themselves very high. The locker room was divided because of the conflict between the two. The Spanish local gang and the Portuguese gang each supported their own partners and fell into opposition, while the other small gangs could only watch the fun and play. Because Chu Zhongtian had a very good relationship with Kaka, c. Ronaldo, so he was naturally assigned to the Portuguese gang by the media. Alonso was a Spaniard and a member of the national team, so he naturally had to be protected by the Spanish local gang.

The last two pieces of this news can be seen as fake. They don’t know whether Chu Zhongtian and Alonso have conflicts. At least it seems that it’s no big deal on the surface. They will say hello when they meet, but they are not as intimate as good friends. This cannot be considered “contradictions.”

As for the split of the locker room... this is even more ridiculous. Yesterday, Marcelo was still joking about Casillas during training. Marcelo is a member of the Portuguese gang. If the two gangs are in opposition, can they still make such a joke?

There is only one thing that Real Madrid's teammates have no way to know the truth. Because no one knows whether Alonso really applied for a transfer to the club's senior management. He will never tell them such a thing, and the club will not come forward to say anything.

But everyone has seen Alonso have some anxiety during this period, and he even risked to get injured again to come back early. He did feel the threat from Chu Zhongtian, which is the consensus of his teammates. So if Alonso really plans to leave Real Madrid, no one will be too surprised.

But will he really leave?
