Chapter 26 Core

"Chu Zhongtian passes directly! Higuain! Beautiful pass and run cooperate! Shoot... The ball is in! Oh! This ball is in beautiful! So beautiful! Of course, the most beautiful one is Chu Zhongtian's previous series of escapes, which is quite casual! In fact, we have already seen Chu Zhongtian's escape in the Champions League final. Now he is technically improving!"

He Ping gave Chu Zhongtian all the praise he could think of, and he didn't feel any numb at all.

"This goal not only helped Real Madrid equalize the score, but I think the more important role is to make Mourinho realize that Real Madrid now needs Chu Zhongtian! Putting him on the bench is the biggest waste!"

"You're right! Any way to make Lin Dan benches is a shameful waste and a despicable crime!"

Many Chinese fans echoed this.

※※※"Chu is so amazing. He only has the opportunity to play as a substitute and perform well! This is the case in the Spanish Super Cup and the league! He only played for five minutes and helped Real Madrid equalize the score! This is his first assist in the La Liga! He has been in the Bundesliga for three seasons, and each season is the assist king of the Bundesliga! Now that he has come to La Liga, he also wants to continue his good performance!" The Spanish commentator also praised Chu Zhongtian.

After scoring the goal, Higuain ran to the sidelines and made a shut-up gesture towards the noisy Osasuna fans in the stands. As an important part of the home atmosphere, these home team fans kept causing interference to Real Madrid players during the game. The booing was simple, and insults were the most rewarding. All kinds of swear words popped out from the mouths of the excited fans, some greeting Real Madrid players directly, some greeting Real Madrid players directly, and some greeting Real Madrid players in the country where the Real Madrid players are located... Higuain had long wanted to calm down these overly excited home team fans.

Other Real Madrid players rushed to Higuain, who scored goals, and celebrated with him. Chu Zhongtian was also among them. C. Ronaldo waved to him first and signaled him to come up to celebrate together. As a big boss who spoke in the locker room in the team, C. Ronaldo still took good care of Chu Zhongtian, which was also related to their good relationship.

Chu Zhongtian ran over and was wrapped around his arm and hugged him into the crowd. Then he heard a burst of excitement.

"Haha!" Seeing Chu Zhongtian being pulled into the celebration circle by C. Ronaldo, He Ping laughed in the studio in Beijing. Because he saw Chu Zhongtian gradually integrating into the team, he had a good relationship with the big guys in the team, which made him feel a little more relaxed.

"Chu's outstanding performance must have made Mourinho very embarrassed. But if I want me to say what's wrong with this? Let Chu and Alonso play as a back midfielder together, and Khedira substitute. Only when these two top European back midfielders play at the same time can they compete with Barcelona's midfielder!"

The Spanish narrator continued.

The TV broadcast gave Mourinho a close-up shot, and he celebrated the goal with his assistants on the sidelines without any strange look.

Zidane, who was sitting on the rostrum, also kept applauding after Higuain scored a goal. Instead, the club chairman Florentino, who was sitting in front of him, only smiled because he was polite and considering the mood of the opponent's club chairman.

In fact, a large part of Zidane's palm was not for Higuain who scored, but for Chu Zhongtian who assisted Higuain. Chu Zhongtian was introduced to club chairman Florentino. Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance shows that he has a keen eye for heroes and has a lot of light on his face.

Mourinho is still observing Chu Zhongtian, but Zidane believes that it won't be long before Chu Zhongtian will completely conquer this picky head coach and make him the core of the team.

※※※Chu Zhongtian's assist made the Chinese audience still talk about it, and the game has started again.

Real Madrid, who equalized the score, has greatly boosted its morale. In addition, the players of Osasuna pressed for 70 minutes in the game. They couldn't hold on in physical fitness and began to run. The pressing against Real Madrid players was not as fierce and fast as before, so Real Madrid has slowly gained the upper hand.

At first, Di Maria was wondering how Chu Zhongtian would raise the offensive rhythm under the opponent's tight defense. Now he believed it. Seeing Chu Zhongtian's performance in assisting Higuain just now, Di Maria knew that this person really had such ability... However, Chu Zhongtian had too little time to play with Real Madrid players after all, and most of the time he was on the bench. In the warm-up match, he was more with the second team and the substitute players, so Real Madrid's main players still lacked some tacit understanding with him.

Chu Zhongtian showed his ability to get rid of his ball, and his passing ability was only reflected in Higuain's goal. At other times, he and Real Madrid players were somewhat unable to catch up. Either they passed the ball too early or they passed the ball too late.

Anyway, it's just not tacit enough.

This scene made Ibisevic constantly beat his chest and stamp his feet in front of the TV - because if he had these opportunities, he would have completed a hat trick long ago...※※※Real Madrid's goal overtaking had nothing to do with Chu Zhongtian. It was Xavi Alonso instigated that he passed the ball to Higuain in front. Higuain stopped the ball and pulled it to the side, and then made a cross. C. Ronaldo, who followed up in the middle, headed the ball. The football was blocked by goalkeeper Felipe. The follow-up midfielder Ozil easily shot and scored the football into the unguarded goal.

This goal completely left the Navara Kingdom Stadium silent. Osasuna fans dreamed for so long and finally woke up.

From leading to falling behind, the huge contrast made Osasuna's players unable to accept it. Their movements on the court became more and more rough. The referee of this game failed to control the situation. Finally, in the 85th minute, Xavi Alonso was tackled to the ground by Osasuna's forward Arlanda.

"Alonso is injured!"

“Aranda’s tackle is really rough…”

"It seems that he is very hurt!"

Seeing Alonso injured, Mourinho stood up from his seat nervously. He leaned out and stared at the stadium.

The referee had already blew his whistle and interrupted the game, and the Real Madrid team doctor ran up.

The examination results were soon released, and the team doctor stood up and made a substitution gesture to Mourinho off the field.

Mourinho swung his fist and turned around: "Hell!"

Alonso is the brain and heart of Real Madrid. If he has any short and shortness, Real Madrid's offense will be greatly affected. Last season, Real Madrid's poor performance almost all were related to Alonso's absence or poor condition - at this time, he seemed to have forgotten Chu Zhongtian... "The team doctor made a substitution gesture! It seems that Alonso can't hold on! But he forgot that Real Madrid has used all three substitution places, Di Maria replaced Kaka, Chu replaced Khedira, Benzema replaced Higuain... There is no one to replace Real Madrid!"

Real Madrid is indeed no one to change, but Alonso can't hold on to the game anymore. He feels his ankle hurts. It's probably because Arlanda's kick hit his ankle.

Despite this, Aranda only received one yellow card and was not sent off with a red card. This caused dissatisfaction among Real Madrid players. When Alonso was examined by the team doctor, they surrounded the referee and asked him for an explanation.

The referee did not give any explanation, but just waved his hand to disperse Real Madrid players.

In this way, Real Madrid could only face the challenge with ten people. This scene of course made head coach Mourinho very dissatisfied. He roared at the fourth official off the court, attracting everyone's attention. The home fans were excited again and they gave Mourinho a huge boo.

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the game. After Mourinho roared at the fourth official, he turned to Chu Zhongtian on the field and shouted: "Chu! Chu!!"

Chu Zhongtian heard his shouts and took advantage of the opportunity to run to the sidelines before the game started again. Mourinho hooked his neck and gave him a face-to-face message: "Closing the defense, we need to hold this ball!"

This was the first time he had set up tactics facing Chu Zhongtian, which used to be through assistant coach Kalanka.

This scene is believed to make many fuji girls scream in the future, but at this moment, it has another meaning - perhaps this action means that the "ice" between Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho has loosened and cracked.

"Let them all come back to defend..." Mourinho said in English.

"Everyone?" Chu Zhongtian also asked in English.

"Everyone! Everyone must defend!" Mourinho said firmly.

"Okay." Chu Zhongtian nodded.

From his attitude, he and Mourinho were incompatible with each other as rumored to the outside world... After explaining, Mourinho patted his head and pushed him back to the stadium.

Chu Zhongtian, who ran onto the stadium, conveyed Mourinho's meaning to his teammates. He first slapped and shouted: "We need to defend!" Then he waved to C. Ronaldo and others in front: "All back to defense!" He did not feel timid because the opponent was a star with a high status in the locker room like C. Ronaldo, and still yelled.

This is quite like he is the captain of Hoffenheim... After conveying the head coach's tactical adjustment, he guarded the middle area at the front of the penalty area alone to curb the opponent's attack.

※※※Osasuna underestimated Chu Zhongtian and thought that he was the only one in the middle and would definitely not be able to defend their attack. They planned to launch the final offensive against Real Madrid's goal in the last few minutes of the game, so as to equalize the score before the end of the game. Even if it was just a draw with Real Madrid at home, it was already an amazing result.

But they soon found out that they were thinking wrong.

Chu Zhongtian is like a moving city wall, which can appear at any position in the middle of the midfield at any time.

With header clearance, a tackle that was accurate to centimeters, a grab at the right time, and an easy interception that stuck to the passing route, Chu Zhongtian fully demonstrated his defensive ability.

When Osasuna found out that they could not enter the Real Madrid penalty area from the middle, there was little game time left.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 2:1 with one person away, achieving a good start to the new league season.

Chu Zhongtian's debut in La Liga was very successful. Although he only played for more than 20 minutes, many media still gave him high scores after the game.

※※※"They are excellent in both offense and defense. He lets us see the style of the best player in the Champions League. Such a person is not unfair to spend 70 million!"

"...Before Chu came on the court, Real Madrid's offense seemed very messy, and a group of stars always played wherever they thought, lacking plans and inspiration. But all this changed with Chu's appearance. In the fifth minute, he beautifully got rid of the Iranian midfielder Jawad Nekonan who was marking him. In the face of his wonderful performance, the Iranian country looked extremely heavy..."

"I think it is necessary to call on Mourinho again to let Chu start! It is obvious that Chu can bring inspiration to Real Madrid. It is a pleasure to see his command in the midfield!"

"...Xavi Alonso is an excellent rhythm controller, but he is not good at organizing exquisite attacks. His last pass in front of the opponent's penalty area is not as good as Ozil. This is why in the Spanish national team, Xavi is the core, and Alonso can only assist him. I think Real Madrid has also welcomed their core now..."

"To be honest, Chu's move when he passed Neko Nan suddenly reminded me of Zidane. His elegant and graceful movements were not as fancy as he deliberately made. He was like the best choice he made by making full use of the environment at that time! It was simply amazing!"

After the game, many Spanish media praised Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance so much.

The Chinese media commented that "Chu Zhongtian conquered the entire Spain in 25 minutes!"

Although it is a bit exaggerated, the basic facts are still accurate - Chu Zhongtian's performance in the past twenty minutes has indeed made many Spanish media applaud him.

So will these praises help change Chu Zhongtian’s position in the team?

Maybe, but in fact, it was the one who played the decisive role that was the injury of Harvey Alonso.

After the game, Alonso was sent back to Madrid. After being examined in the hospital, he found that he had a strained ankle ligament and a local tear, and his lateral ankle was swollen. The doctor's advice was to have a rest for one month.

A month was not short, but Mourinho did not curse or chatter after hearing the news.

Although he violently criticized the Osasuna player's approach and the referee's mercy penalty standards at the press conference after the game. You should know that the biggest news in Spanish football these days is actually not Chu Zhongtian's amazing performance for more than 20 minutes, but Mourinho's failure to control his big mouth at the press conference. He criticized the existence of "anti-Real Madrid" phenomenon in Spanish football.

"...There are always people who only put their malicious eyes on Real Madrid. No matter what the team does, it will become an excuse for criticism in them. They scold them when they lose, and they scold them when they win. They scold them when they win. They scold them when they win, and they say that Real Madrid does not respect their opponents enough..." Mourinho spread his hands among the many flashes. "I won't say the reason here. I believe you know better than me, the Portuguese. I'm not complaining, because complaining cannot solve any problem. No matter how you complain, they can always find reasons to criticize us. So what we have to do is to win and win continuously!"

Mourinho's remarks caused a stir among the Spanish media after the game.

Florentino, chairman of Real Madrid Club, also called Mourinho urgently, warning him not to talk about this in public anymore.

Florentino refused to say "anti-Real Madrid League" again, not because it was Mourinho's splashing sewage out of nothing. On the contrary, this is a fact. But if you talk in depth, it is easy to touch politics. Florentino has always asked his club to stay away from political and ethnic issues.

There is indeed an invisible "anti-Real Madrid league" in Spain. Their members are uncertain, but they are huge in number. And they have a long history, and it seems to have existed since the Franco era and still exists now. Look at the people who threw things at goalkeeper Casillas on the court, and the caddies who threw the second football into the court many times in order to prevent Real Madrid from playing smoothly, and you will know that the league exists.

All of this has little to do with football, it is more of a political factor. Because many people believe that the centralism represented by Real Madrid represents the government, and thus also represents backward values. For these people, local autonomy is the symbol of progress and modernization, and Madrid symbolizes fascism and all the evil that can be imagined. From a long time ago, Real Madrid and Francoism were linked together.

※※※Murinho has been banned by the president now, so he can concentrate on studying how Real Madrid will deal with this month's game without Alonso.

In this month, Real Madrid has two league games and two Champions League games. The only good news is that after the first round of the league, it is a week's national team match day, and Mourinho has time to adjust.

He thought of Chu Zhongtian. His original intention of buying Chu Zhongtian was to find Alonso's substitute, but he couldn't find the substitute and found an enhanced version... Now Alonso is injured, and Chu Zhongtian is just on the way.

Mourinho was just worried that the transition would be too fast, and his team might not be ready yet... He sighed, it seemed that Zidane won... Chu Zhongtian became the core of the team so quickly, which was really something he had never expected.
