Chapter 30 Some people are happy and some are sad

When Chu Zhongtian suddenly accelerated to drive the ball forward, all the boos at the Bernabeu stadium disappeared, replaced by a sudden increase in cheers.

"Chu suddenly dribbled the ball forward! He passed Urtado...passed the ball! Beautiful! Adebayo! Adebayo...shot - gooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!"

The football flew into the goal from Nicopolidis and hit the net hard.

Real Madrid's irritability is cured.

Adebayo was very excited to score the goal. This was his first goal at Real Madrid in the new season and his first goal in the Champions League.

He ran to the corner flag area with his arms wide open, and then danced an African dance alone.

After just jumping twice, Real Madrid teammates rushed up and hugged him.

Chu Zhongtian celebrating with Khedira over there.

Those who score goals will always be the most popular, but those who assist will not care about them.

However, Adebayo did not forget to assist him. He escaped from his teammates and ran towards Chu Zhongtian, hugged him, thanking him for his assist.

"Real Madrid took the lead at home! In the 28th minute of the game, Adebayo scored a goal! The one who assisted him was... Chu! The midfielder who spent 70 million euros to buy from the club this summer reflects his value in this assist! A beautiful central breakthrough, just the right pass!"

"Chu Zhongtian's assist is very beautiful. It can be said that he is the key to this goal. Adebayo's contributions account for 10% of the goal, and the remaining 90% belong to Chu Zhongtian!" He Ping shouted excitedly.

In front of the TV and in front of the computer, Chinese fans were also very excited, but they were still a little regretful while being excited - how good it would be if Chu Zhongtian made the ball... If Chu Zhongtian broke into the penalty area after passing two people in a row and shot successfully, wouldn't it be better?

Although the assists are also beautiful, everyone knows that the person who scores the goal is the protagonist. You can know that the close-up shot of Adebayo is longer than Chu Zhongtian when the camera lens gives Adebayo.

Chu Zhongtian doesn't care whether he scores or not. If his teammates have a better chance of scoring than him, he will pass the football without hesitation. He is not the type of player who must score forty goals in a season. He is a midfielder, not a forward. If he wants to score so many goals, he might as well change careers and be a forward... Although Rangnick once said that he can be competent for the forward... But he is not interested... He still likes the midfielder. Only here can he have the feeling of controlling the overall situation and controlling the whole world.

※※Real Madrid ended their celebration and returned to their respective positions.

This ball calmed down Real Madrid players. After calming down, they were able to perform at their normal level. In addition, Olympiacos was behind and his plan to secure a draw on the away game was lost. The players on the court were a little confused and didn't know what to do. Some people planned to counterattack immediately and equalize the score, while others felt that losing only one ball was not a bad thing. They still wanted to defend and did not intend to attack.

Olympiacos was out of touch on three lines. The forwards wanted to score, but the defenders did not dare to cross the midfield because they were worried about conceiving the ball again. The midfielders... they didn't know whether it was time to attack or defend.

Although it was only a short period of panic, it was enough for Real Madrid to seize the expansion of the lead.

Three minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback. This time, C. Ronaldo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt alone. After continuous shaking, he made a two-pass and one-on-one cooperation with Adebayo, then broke into the penalty area and shot. The football flew into the net from the goalkeeper's armpit, expanding the score to 2:0.

Leading two goals at home, this game has basically lost its suspense.

The next thing was simple. Real Madrid firmly controlled the situation on the court and threatened Olympiacos' goal from time to time. Although there was no goal, everyone could see that Real Madrid played very well. Especially when attacking, the exquisite cooperation and threatening shots made Real Madrid fans at home excited.

Chu Zhongtian took advantage of this great opportunity to cultivate tacit understanding with his new teammates, looking for a sense of cooperation with them. How much appropriate should Ronaldo pass the ball in advance, whether it is better to pass Di Maria to him or a little in front of him, and to get the ball to Adebayo, he can give him full play to his physical and foot advantages, and when he drives the ball and fights back, how do they run and pass the ball as the most suitable choice... Chu Zhongtian slowly explores the above feelings through this game.

Even if you waste offensive opportunities, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the team won this game without much problem.

Real Madrid was like a goal in the second half. This time it was Sergio Ramos who scored the goal with a corner kick and scored his first goal in the Champions League in the new season.

After a 3:0 lead, Mourinho began to substitution. He first replaced Ozil with Kaka, then replaced Di Maria with Gareth Bale, Bale went to the left, and Ronaldo came to the right. Finally, he replaced Adebayo with Benzema.

All three substitutions were substitutions on offensive players. But he did not replace Chu Zhongtian. Mourinho's intention was very obvious - he was also using this game to make Chu Zhongtian find the feeling of cooperating with more Real Madrid players, especially in terms of offense, so he replaced all of Real Madrid offensive players.

After Kaka came on the court, Chu Zhongtian quickly kicked him straight, but unfortunately Kaka didn't catch up, but he still gave Chu Zhongtian a thumbs up.

Chu Zhongtian found that he and C. Ronaldo and Kaka had a tacit understanding, which was not achieved through training... Just like when he and Ribery were in the beginning, their tacit understanding had nothing to do with training, but more of a manifestation of friendship... Just like Kaka and C. Ronaldo were in Real Madrid for a season. Many fujoshi liked to pair Kaka and C. Ronaldo into a pair, either called "Capello" or "ck". In fact, it was not that Kaka and C. Ronaldo loved each other, but that their friendship was too strong. On the court, Kaka always passed the ball to C. Ronaldo, and C. Ronaldo often gave away pets. This was a manifestation of tacit understanding. Both players of the same level had a higher understanding of football than ordinary players, so they could always produce an almost innate tacit understanding on the court.

In fact, this is the case with Chu Zhongtian.

Kaka also felt that if Chu Zhongtian was on the court, he seemed to have always performed better. Once Chu Zhongtian was not on the court, he felt very awkward. He didn't know how to run, and he was hesitant after getting the ball, and he couldn't play out his own characteristics.

He still remembers the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup. After Chu Zhongtian came on the court, he helped himself assist c. Ronaldo scored a goal and ran for dozens of meters. It felt like he was returning to Milan in 2007. His body had no problems at all at that moment, and he was venting his speed.

If he can always make such a feeling, it means that he has really found his state... Unfortunately, there are too few such feelings.

※※In the end, Real Madrid won the game with a score of 3:0 at home, easily defeating Olympiacos. The media comments after the game were not for Real Madrid's second half and squandering too many opportunities, the score of the game should not be just 3:0. The implication is that they can score more goals, which can be regarded as praising Chu Zhongtian's performance from another angle.

Chu Zhongtian, who played for 90 minutes after the game, was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone. He talked about his assists and his feeling of starting in Real Madrid for the first time.

"Yes, I assisted a goal. But that's my job. I personally think there's nothing to say... No goals? Oh, I didn't shoot much, so I don't feel any regrets. I like to score goals, but I also like assists. But I prefer victory. As long as the team can win, I don't care whether I scored the goal. Yes, I did score ten goals in the Champions League last season, but what makes me happier is that we finally won the championship, and it's the same in Real Madrid... The first time starting? Ha, I don't have any special feeling. The starting and the substitute contribute to the team the same... I'm telling the truth. In a team like Real Madrid, the best players in the world gather here. It's normal for me to start or not to start. It's mainly the head coach to make the decision..."

Adebayo, who benefited from Chu Zhongtian's assist in the game, walked up from behind, hugged the reporters of Chu Zhongtian's dynasty and smiled: "Chu is my good friend! His passing is really great!!"

Then the two of them hugged each other and walked away.

Chinese journalists looked at their backs from behind and couldn't help but sigh: "This game really helped Chu Zhongtian establish his position in the team..."

Spanish reporters are worried about Xavi Alonso's position: "With Chu's performance like this, will Alonso still have a position after returning to the team after he recovers from injury?"

In this game, Xavi Alonso watched the game at home. Because he was injured, it was not convenient to come to the Bernabeu to watch the game on site.

At the same time, he also had the same concerns in his heart.

Chu Zhongtian's performance was even better than he thought, and he integrated into the team very quickly. In the first half, he saw him and several major players make mistakes in passing. He didn't expect to go together, so he gave several wonderful passes in the second half. If those people hadn't squandered the opportunity, Real Madrid would have won 6:0 in this game.

Although Chu Zhongtian and himself are good at organizing and defending, Chu Zhongtian's organization is more delicate than himself. His organizational style is somewhat like a big opening and closing, mostly passing the ball, but he dribbles himself and then assisting his teammates. There are not many things like this that he has taken the ball and assisted his teammates.

To put it bluntly, Xavi Alonso is good at controlling the rhythm and passing the ball accurately. What about Chu Zhongtian? He grasps a fatal pass better... But based on his observation of Chu Zhongtian, he can do things like controlling the rhythm, and it may not be worse than himself... Such an all-around midfielder is a threat to any player at his position.

Since transferring to Real Madrid, Alonso has been the main player that Real Madrid cannot play. Although he often appears low-key and even becomes obscurant, most people cannot see what he is for. But without the series of problems and difficulties encountered by Real Madrid, it is enough to show his importance. He missed the game many times last year, resulting in Real Madrid's unsatisfactory results. So the club said he wanted to find a substitute for him. At first, he thought it was a good thing.

But when his substitute really came, he found that it might not be the case... Although he hoped that Real Madrid would have good results, if his position was gone... it would be a bit contradictory.

This night, Real Madrid fans left the Bernabeu with satisfaction. The reporters were planning how to report Chu Zhongtian's first start. Obviously, it was a successful game. Chu Zhongtian performed very well. The next day, the reports from various media would repeatedly mention his name. He would conquer the picky fans of the Bernabeu little by little, as well as the more picky media in Madrid.

Also on this night, Chu Zhongtian returned home, and Emily used her body to celebrate Chu Zhongtian's first starter. Xavi Alonso had a little insomnia...※※The next day, various news about Real Madrid winning the first group stage in the Champions League were posted on major media.

Chinese media can't wait to reprint various news and comments from their Spanish counterparts to meet the requirements of domestic fans - they won the game in the team where Chu Zhongtian is, and Chu Zhongtian performed well. Chinese fans always hope to see foreign media's evaluation of Chu Zhongtian. Of course, there are many praising articles written by Chinese people themselves, but they don't feel numb at all, they just feel enjoyable.

"... Chu Zhongtian's performance on the court was very good. Although only one assist was counted as statistics, anyone who has watched the game knew that he could complete three to four assists. Unfortunately, Real Madrid's offensive players were too relaxed and were squandering opportunities. But despite this, we can also say that Chu Zhongtian has conquered many fans of the Bernabeu! After listening to how much booing there is on the stage, you will know... I think Chu Zhongtian has successfully completed his premiere now, and the ball was kicked to Mourinho. It's time for Mourinho to have a headache. If Xavi Alonso returns from injury, how will he arrange the lineup and tactics?"

"Chu's breakthrough is the key to changing the deadlock..." In Spanish TV shows, football experts are also analyzing the game for the audience in combination with the game video. "His sudden forward disrupted the defense of Olympiacos players, thus causing Adebayo to lose his guard..."

In Germany, the TV station is also broadcasting the highlights of this game: "...For us German audiences, this scene is not unfamiliar with us. When Chu is unable to start the game, he uses his personal ability to create opportunities and then assists his teammates to score. Hoffenheim players must have a deep understanding of this..."

When Chu Zhongtian came to Real Madrid Sports City, the first thing he encountered was Kaka.

Kaka expressed his congratulations to him: "I saw your name when I watched sports news in the morning. You completed a very wonderful game. Congratulations, Chu!"

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "Thank you, Kaka."

Kaka patted his head.

Chu Zhongtian certainly knew what the difficulties Kaka encountered, but he didn't know if he could solve them, so he had to not mention them so as not to make Kaka in a bad mood.

Then Chu Zhongtian met other teammates, and everyone congratulated Chu Zhongtian.

As the player with the highest transfer fee this season, Chu Zhongtian came to Real Madrid but kept playing as a substitute, which made Real Madrid players feel strange. So when he started in the Champions League and performed well, he naturally attracted everyone's congratulations.

Fortunately, Alonso was still resting at home at this time and couldn't see this scene. Otherwise, I really didn't know what he would think...※※※ One of the training today is to summarize yesterday's game.

Although he won yesterday's game, he was not satisfied with Mourinho's performance.

"We should have won by a bigger score, and I didn't replace the offensive player and the defensive player to curb your offense... But you obviously relaxed after the three-ball lead. I must point out that even if you lead three-ball, you are not allowed to relax!"

Mourinho is the kind of coach who will never pursue losing if he can win, and will never win one if he can win two goals.

He hopes Real Madrid can do the same.

This is one of his secrets to success.

At this analysis meeting, Mourinho pointed out the problem of the team's impatientness after falling behind. He has said this question many times, but the players always seem to be unable to control their emotions. Perhaps it is the inertial psychology of the rich... I always think that I am a rich family, so I can't put down my airs before falling behind. Once I fall behind, I will go crazy... Chu Zhongtian never came, so I wouldn't have such an idea. Since his debut, he has been playing football in a weak team. In order not to lose, they must fight with all their strength every minute of every game. As a weak team, they are not qualified to look down on their opponents and despise their opponents. In fact, they are often in a position that is despised by teams like Real Madrid.

If they relax for a minute, they may lead to endless consequences.

So Chu Zhongtian's attitude towards the game was very serious and he said nothing at all.

If the attitude towards the game can determine who can start, Chu Zhongtian will definitely start every game in Real Madrid.

After criticizing the team, Mourinho began to smile and praised the team's performance in yesterday's game. At least they won the ball, and there was no news that the team that won the game would still be criticized.

"Congratulations on winning the first game and we won the ball, which is great. Remember, nothing is more important than victory. If you want to win Real Madrid's tenth Champions League trophy, then you must remember this sentence. No matter what kind of dilemma we face, don't care how the fans at home boo us, as long as you win, only victory can all doubt and ridicule shut their noisy mouths."

This season is Mourinho's second season at Real Madrid. He knows very well that Real Madrid is not a very patient person from the top to the bottom, so this season is actually the key, and he must achieve results this season. Because he brought a Champions League championship to the team in two seasons at Inter Milan, and he also brought a Champions League championship in two years in Porto.

So people have reason to ask him to win the Champions League championship in Real Madrid for two seasons - they believe that Real Madrid's foundation and strength are stronger than Inter Milan and Porto, so since he can do what Inter Milan can do in Porto, why is it impossible for Real Madrid to do?

For the championship, he can put his composure, he can ignore the booing of the fans and the ridicule of the enemy. But whether his team can ignore it requires him to instill such a concept in this team:

In order to win, we do whatever we want. Victory is the only truth. Only when we step on top of Europe and hold up the European Champions League can all critics shut up.

Let the enemy be jealous, go crazy, slander, and curse. We will be the well-deserved champions!!
