"...There are the most dazzling stars in the world, the greatest giants! Real Madrid! Barcelona! Messi! Ronaldo! Kaka! Villa! and our... Chu Zhongtian! The most starry duel in the world is here, and it will be held at least twice per season...Spanish national derby! This time we Chinese will appear..."

CCTV's La Liga new season promotional video has been bombarded in various advertising periods of the Sports Channel for more than a week. All viewers who often follow the Sports Channel know that the promotional video is coming again whenever they hear the familiar music.

Actually no one is tired of this, because like the editors of the Sports Channel, they are looking forward to the arrival of the new La Liga season.

For La Liga fans, it is natural to not expect the arrival of the new La Liga season for the season. But this year is different. This year there are many more fans who didn’t watch La Liga very much. Since this year, they have also planned to stay up late to watch La Liga games in front of the TV or computer to watch live broadcasts of La Liga games.

This is all because of one person - Chu Zhongtian.

For Chu Zhongtian, CCTV even decided to schedule a special filming team and stay in Madrid to follow and report to Chu Zhongtian. After every Real Madrid game, it would edit a film and send it back to Beijing, which included various news about Chu Zhongtian and close-ups of the game, etc. In short, even Yao Ming, a leader in Chinese sports before, played for the Rockets of the American Professional Men's Basketball League, had never enjoyed such treatment.

This may be because Yao Ming has never won the championship with the Rockets... Chu Zhongtian is only 27 years old and has won all other influential championships besides the World Cup - league championship, domestic cup championship, league cup championship, championship cup championship, and Asian Cup championship... Chu Zhongtian's personal honors are all Jin Cancan's championship trophy.

This is also the reason why so many people in China pay attention to him. If he is a loser, a mid- and downstream team that always hangs in the second-rate European league or first-rate league, then no one will pay attention to him so much. There are also many overseas players in China abroad, but no one has ever received such attention and treatment from him.

Competitive sports are actually a cruel world where success and defeat. Not only football, basketball, table tennis, Olympics, Asian Games, National Games... It's all like this. Those athletes who have worked hard for four years but have not won gold medals in the Olympics will face the questions from reporters: "Do you feel sorry for the training of the country when you lose the gold medal at the last moment?" And athletes who won gold medals will not only be welcomed when they return to their hometowns, but the local government and sports bureaus also have material rewards, such as cash, a house, a car... etc. And those athletes who can't even get silver or bronze medals are naturally unknown. They have spent their youth, but in the end they get nothing... No, they get an injury and retire, and they are lucky enough to work in the local sports association. If they are not lucky, they can make a living by themselves.

Chu Zhongtian is lucky, very, very lucky, and even lucky makes people a little jealous.

※※※ Chu Zhongtian does not need to be responsible for those issues within the system. He only needs to take good care of himself and be responsible for himself.

The new season of La Liga is close to you. Real Madrid's first round opponent is Osasuna. This is not a very strong team and barely relegated last season. But this team once defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home last season, and an upset was revealed.

Although many people think that there are only two teams in the La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona. These two teams are super strong and the other teams are foils and cannot pose any threat to the La Liga duo. But the actual situation is not like this. Even teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona may lose if they go to other people's home courts, they may lose if they are not careful. Barcelona, ​​who is in full swing, has also lost to Hercules at home.

So you have to prepare carefully every game. Whenever Real Madrid thinks that their opponents can easily defeat them, they will always encounter trouble in the game.

After all, for weak teams that are not as strong as them, losing is a natural thing, but even if they can draw, it is worthy of their cheers and celebrations. It is their glorious moment. Every team is eager to be glorious, so when they encounter Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​they will be more excited than usual. This excitement will become a trouble for the two giant teams.

Mourinho definitely doesn't want to lose in the first round. You should know that in the first round, they played Osasuna away, and last season they lost to this team 0-1 away.

The training intensity in the past few days has not increased, but has declined. After two months of pre-season training, it is time for everyone to relax a little. Mourinho does not want the team to have injuries. This season is better than last season. Before the league last season began, Real Madrid almost injured the central defender and had to buy Carvalho to rescue him. Unexpectedly, Carvalho performed well and directly settled in the main force.

Mourinho pays great attention to the injuries of the players this season, so there has not been any injuries that will leave players absent for several weeks so far. They are all minor injuries that are small.

※※The game is tomorrow. The team has left Madrid and arrived at Pamplona, ​​the capital of the Navarra Autonomous Region where Osasuna Club is located.

The good news is that Chu Zhongtian was selected into the 18-man roster, but in the news, he still did not make it into the starting lineup. Although he performed well in the Spanish Super Cup, he still seemed to be unable to win a place in Mourinho's heart.

Chu Zhongtian was too lazy to think about what Mourinho thought. Anyway, he trained hard every day and waited for opportunities. So what if he played as a substitute? Anyway, as long as he came on the bench, he could seize the opportunity every time he came on the bench, and he would not worry about the day when he played as a starting player. As long as he became the starting player... hey, it would be difficult for anyone to go to the bench.

Mourinho announced the starting lineup after the team arrived in Pamplona. The eleven people who played against Real Madrid in the first game of the new season were goalkeeper Casillas; central defenders Carvalho and Pepe, left defender Marcelo, right defender Sergio Ramos; midfielder Alonso and Khedira, the three forwards were C. Ronaldo, Kaka and Ozil, and the forward was Higuain.

He basically used the starting lineup of last season, except for Kaka who replaced Di Maria.

Kaka relied on her outstanding performance in the two Super Cup games to squeeze out Di Maria to become the starter. But Chu Zhongtian, who also performed well, failed to start, which made the Chinese media very upset.

As soon as the news that Chu Zhongtian did not start came out, Chinese fans' expectations for this game naturally declined. Not to mention fans, even the people on CCTV Sports Channel, who were responsible for broadcasting this game, felt that it was very boring.

Who knows if Chu Zhongtian can play this game? What's the use if he can play but only ten minutes? Everyone stays up until three or four o'clock to enjoy Chu Zhongtian's ten minutes performance.

"What's wrong with Mourinho? He targeted our family again and again every day!"

"If you transfer to Real Madrid just to be a substitute, what's the best choice? You only saw the glory of the wealthy but didn't see the cruelty of the wealthy. Look, look, Chu Zhongtian just fell into the quagmire..."

"I still believe in Lin Dan Yama and Magic Bird! They will understand each other one day and understand that each other is the person they need most..."

"The good guy upstairs!"

"If Real Madrid dares to let our Lin Dan sit on the bench, I will support Barcelona to beat them 5:0 every day!"

...The night before the game, Emily called Chu Zhongtian.

"I heard that you were not on the starting list, so I'll come to comfort you, don't cry!" Emily played Chu Zhongtian's joke seriously.

"Hey!" Chu Zhongtian rolled his eyes when he heard Emily's words.

"Haha!" Emily smiled happily on the other end of the phone.

After laughing, she suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Chu. I can't accompany you."

"Just pay attention to rest, don't worry about me." Chu Zhongtian remembered that when he was still playing in Wimbledon Athletics, the head coach Eames at that time warned himself when he was about to leave the team and transfer to Chelsea: "No matter what team you go to in the future, don't think you can still be the core, start from scratch and start from a substitute. So no matter what problems you encounter, keep your mind calm and don't think that you are famous. You should play the main force in any team, be the core, and be the focus of everyone's attention..."

He felt that he had been doing so well in the past few years. From Metz to Hoffenheim, he was the main force and core, and almost forgot the taste of struggle. He was a little bit enjoying his life, but in Real Madrid, he had to start over.

This is no big deal. Although there are many comments on the Internet about his transfer to Real Madrid and he can only be a substitute, he didn't take it seriously. For him, being a substitute at Real Madrid may be a good thing... Zidane was right, he wanted to start a football again. Why is he going to give up the core core of the past to come to Real Madrid? Isn't it because he may win more championships in such a team. Since it is for more championships, it is normal to make some sacrifices by himself.

Therefore, although there is already a lot of debate outside about whether he should start or bench, Chu Zhongtian himself is very calm.

If this was Chu Zhongtian who came out of Metz, he would definitely not be able to accept this situation and clamored to transfer and have the main position. After all, at that time, he was a well-deserved core in Metz. The whole team revolved around him, and he was like the Sun. He was also very energetic and felt that he had won the UEFA Cup and defeated AC Milan, which had Kaka in the European Super Cup. He should go to a team to be the core and the main force. If he dared to start from a substitute, he would definitely leave. If he didn't stay here, he would have stayed.

But after several years, Chu Zhongtian, who has grown older, has become indifferent. He has made countless billions of money. Do you still care about such a little bit of storm? The winner of the Champions League championship did not make him stand up, but instead let him know the right position.

Chu Zhongtian, who was about twenty-seven years old, became truly mature.

"Speaking of this, will you play tomorrow? How long will it take..." Emily guessed on the other end of the phone. In fact, she is in the same mood as ordinary fans, just to long for Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance on the court. Emily is not a fan of Real Madrid, and she has no interest in Real Madrid. If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, she wouldn't have watched Real Madrid's game. As a Wimbledon man, she only has one team that she will always support in her life, that is, the "crazy gang", now Wimbledon Athletics.

"I'm not Mourinho, how do I know..." Chu Zhongtian thought Emily asked this question very stupidly.

"Oh..." Emily sighed. She was not worried that Chu Zhongtian would not be able to play in the future. She just regretted that she would not be able to enjoy more Chu Zhongtian's games tomorrow.

"If the team encounters difficulties, maybe he will think of me." Chu Zhongtian thought for a while and said.

The team encountered difficulties in the game and definitely needed to make some changes. If the midfielder wants to make changes, he is definitely the first choice. Now the team has only three real midfielders, Khedira, Alonso and himself. If you want to change the midfielder, you can only change yourself. Moreover, you have both offense and defense, which has the effect of killing two birds with one stone in a row. It can not only enhance offense and strengthen defense. Such a comprehensive player will not lack the opportunity to play... Chu Zhongtian imitated the idea that a head coach should have in his mind

, If he was the head coach, what would he do when he encountered a situation? This is something he often did, especially when he was in Hoffenheim, when Emily was not always around at that time. She was always in the United States, or somewhere else. Chu Zhongtian played this game when he was bored, imitating the head coach, and guessing their thoughts and practices from the head coach's perspective. This game is a kind of exercise that can help him make the most accurate and effective judgment in a very short time on the court. He can become a midfield commander not just rely on intuition.

"Then I have to look forward to your team in trouble from the first minute of the game, haha!" Emily laughed in a prank.

Amid her proud laughter, Chu Zhongtian rolled his eyes again...※※"Crow's mouth..." Chu Zhongtian muttered in his heart.

On the phone yesterday, Emily said she wanted to expect the team to encounter trouble, but now she is in trouble.

The Navarra Kingdom Stadium is crowded with people, and Osasuna fans are announcing their advantages with singing.

In the fifteenth minute, Osasuna caught a casual look at Real Madrid and scored the first goal of the game.

Real Madrid is behind away!

"Oh...oh! Pandiani!! A wonderful counterattack! Real Madrid lost the ball in the midfield and was hit by the opponent with a quick counterattack! Casillas didn't even have time to organize the defense...They conceded the ball too suddenly, and Osasuna's attack was too fast! The two feet passed to the goal!"

Pandiani was celebrating with his teammates, while Real Madrid players stood in the field at a loss - they lost the goal in fifteen minutes of the start of the game, which was really something they didn't expect.

In fact, Osasuna is not without the possibility of scoring a goal. They relied on their home advantage to launch a fierce press against Real Madrid from the beginning of the game. Real Madrid players could hardly stop the ball well. The opponent's feet always arrived with the football team to catch the ball. As long as they delayed a little, they might be trapped in a heavy siege.

This is one of the ways for many teams to deal with Real Madrid. They use fierce pressing to make Real Madrid unable to organize effective offenses, make Real Madrid players anxious to concede goals, and make Real Madrid's offensive rhythm constantly interrupted, so that they can't even exert their usual 50% of their abilities.

Real Madrid's midfielder's goal just now was actually caused by Osasuna's persistent pressing. At that time, Xavi Alonso controlled the ball in the middle, and he controlled the ball under his feet as usual, then observed around, preparing to find the route and space for the pass. At the same time, in order to control the football, he turned around 360 degrees and planned to protect the football. In this process, his ball was broken... Khedira rushed to the front, so he didn't have time to chase it back as soon as possible.

Osasuna's tactics are very clear. Once the ball is intercepted in the midfield and frontcourt, he will immediately pass the ball and will never delay it at his feet.

This tactic was very successful. Real Madrid was stunned by their quick counterattack and fell behind away just fifteen minutes into the game.

Mourinho jumped up from his seat, then turned around and slapped him on the roof of the coach's seat. It can be seen that he was angry about the goal.

※※ When Pandiani shot the football into Casillas' goal, poor Casillas couldn't even touch the football. He turned around and stared at the football in the net with a sad face, making any Real Madrid fan who saw his expression heartbroken.

But in front of the TV, someone jumped up and shouted: "Yeah!!"

This person is Emily Stein.

Because she was away from home, she couldn't go to watch the game on site. She could only watch the game in the hotel room. When she saw Osasuna score, she jumped happily.

Now that the team is in trouble, her husband Chu Zhongtian's chance of playing will be greatly improved!

So she raised her arms and cheered, just like Osasuna fans.

The voice of the commentator came from the TV: "The Galaxy battleship Real Madrid, which spent 120 million euros this summer, started with such a situation. They were behind 0:1 at Osasuna! Many Real Madrid stars didn't even have time to show their amazing skills..."
Chapter completed!
