Chapter 62 Fourteen consecutive victories!
Chu Zhongtian didn't know if this was a reconciliation with Mourinho, or as they claimed to the outside world - there was no conflict from the beginning.
Anyway, he is on the roster in the next round of the league against Espanyol.
Although there is still no starter, this is a good progress for Chu Zhongtian, who has not been on the roster for two consecutive games.
When playing away against Espanyol, Chu Zhongtian knew that he would only come on as a substitute in the 77th minute. The person he replaced was Ozil. Mourinho pushed him to the front midfielder in this game.
"Chu is on the bench! He replaces Ozil!"
The commentator shouted excitedly. After two games, Chu Zhongtian finally appeared in the team's lineup again.
Ozil and Chu Zhongtian hugged on the sideline, and Chu Zhongtian rushed into the court.
Pushed to a new position, Chu Zhongtian's performance was as outstanding as ever. Taking advantage of the Spanish's physical strength decline, he instigated an offensive and finally assisted Adebayo, who came on as a substitute, to score a goal that secured the victory.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 2:1 away. From this score, we can see that Chu Zhongtian once again played a key role, and his appearance helped the team score a goal that decided the victory.
After this game, the media still had a relationship with Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho. Have they really reconciled, or have there been no conflicts? These are all things that everyone cares about, but what everyone cares most about is whether Chu Zhongtian will play as a substitute in this game and will he start in the next game?
How Mourinho answered: "I won't promise here whether any player will start in the next game, it depends on how effective their training will be in the next week."
※※When returning to Madrid from Barcelona, Chu Zhongtian invited all his teammates to visit his new home. After two months, his house was finally renovated and all the furniture was purchased. In fact, he had moved in and lived in for a week.
In order to entertain these teammates, Chu Zhongtian specially invited the chefs from the Greater China Restaurant in Madrid to his home to make Chinese delicacies for his teammates.
Everyone had a great time eating this meal.
Chu Zhongtian’s good friends in the team were all happy and satisfied with the change in the situation, such as Kaka.
Kaka may be the best friend with Chu Zhongtian in Real Madrid. Because it was Chu Zhongtian that Kaka found the second spring of his career in Real Madrid. If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, his life in Real Madrid would have been tormented.
Kaka has always been worried that Chu Zhongtian would leave Real Madrid because of the conflict with Mourinho. Now it seems that all the problems have been solved, Chu Zhongtian has regained the opportunity to play, and there is an assist. Is there any better return than this?
Chu Zhongtian was in a good mood too - he didn't want him to be on the bench all the time.
Through that show, he felt that Mourinho's relationship with him was not as nervous and bad as he thought before.
For a team, the coordination of the generals is the most important thing.
Especially for teams like Real Madrid, if internally unite, there are almost no opponents that can defeat them.
Real Madrid will strive for all possible honors this season. If there is no internal unity, nothing will be discussed.
※※※The storm between Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho quickly subsided, because he started in the next round of La Liga.
This means everything is on track.
The media discussion on the relationship between Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho was then put aside. The Chinese media only focused on Chu Zhongtian's wonderful performance.
The Spanish domestic media have turned their attention to the two La Liga champions this season.
Everything is the same as last season, even more exaggerated than last season. This season's La Liga has shown a situation where Barcelona and Real Madrid compete for the dominance from the beginning. So far, the league has played ten rounds, and neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona have ever lost. The offensive firepower of both sides is also very fierce.
In the tenth round of the league, Real Madrid faced Mallorca at home, and the game scored a high score of 6:0. C. Ronaldo scored twice, Ozil, Ramos, Benzema and Kaka each scored one goal. Chu Zhongtian contributed two assists in this game. Currently, he ranks first in Real Madrid with seven assists, and in the entire La Liga assist list, he is only one behind Barcelona's Xavi, ranking second.
Real Madrid and Barcelona's winning streak continue, and there is no one who can stop them in the entire La Liga.
Barcelona relies on their goal difference to suppress Real Madrid.
Many experts believe that the winner may only be able to be decided until the first national derby this season, and the ranking of this standings may change.
Whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona players, what they care most about in their own game is the result of the opponent's game. After winning the game, the side who plays the game will wait for the opponent's game with a relaxed mood. When the opponent also wins, they will swear a few words and then continue to prepare for their game.
The battle between the two sides has become a scene in the La Liga.
However, not everyone likes this pattern. Many Spanish footballers believe that the monopoly structure between Real Madrid and Barcelona is harmful to Spanish football in the long run. Why does Spanish football have the best stars in the world but still cannot surpass the Premier League and become the most influential football league in the world? It is because Barcelona and Real Madrid are too strong that they suppress other teams, making these two teams lack opponents in Spain.
What about the Premier League? In addition to the traditional semi-finals - Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, there are many mid-level teams that cannot be underestimated. For example, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, and other teams are not easy to mess with. In short, although the champions of the Premier League have been taking turns to take turns to the banker, the competition is actually very fierce. Arsenal may lose to a relegation team, and Manchester United can also capsize in the gutter.
What about La Liga? Now there is no other team that can pose any threat to the two giants. A few years ago, it was a little better, with Valencia, Selivia, Villarreal and other teams causing trouble for them. Now? Look at the results of these teams fighting with the two top players - Real Madrid 3:0 Sevilla, 5:0 Villarreal, 2:0 Valencia; Barcelona 4:1 Valencia, 3:0 Sevilla, 3:0 Villarreal... It is no longer the same level.
Many people are worried that in the long run, the La Liga will lose its competitiveness, and Real Madrid and Barcelona can dominate their own domestic leagues, but once the competition becomes more intense and the opponents are stronger, they will fail.
In recent years, Barcelona is too strong. Barcelona, composed of Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Villa and others, can still dominate Europe, but what should I do when Xavi retires? What should I do when Villa gets old? Who will support the pride and honor of Spanish football at that time?
In the Champions League final last season, Barcelona's crushing defeat at Wembley has sounded the alarm for many Espanyols.
But what's the solution?
Other teams in Spain are not good at it. Sevilla, Valencia and Villarreal, who have the foundation and hope, have lost their determination to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid. They want to compete for the third place in the league every season. It is enough to qualify for the Champions League. As for the league championship, they don’t even dare to think about it, let alone compete with the two heroes.
However, some people are not worried. They think the current situation is just the state of the two teams, and this situation will change when the national derby is reached. They also cited the examples from last season.
Before the national derby in the first leg of last season, Real Madrid and Barcelona were also in the limelight, with the two teams far ahead of other teams, so that before the national derby, the Spanish media made such an sigh - "The entire La Liga is actually just a preparation for these two national derbys." What's the result? After Real Madrid lost to Barcelona 0-5 in the game, Mourinho's myth was also broken. In the subsequent leagues, Real Madrid not only had a draw but also lost, and even trailed Barcelona by as much as seven points.
What does this matter mean? It shows that other La Liga teams do not want to compete with the traditional two heroes, but are scared by the momentum shown by the two teams at the beginning. Once they find that these two teams just look great and will also lose, they will burst out with huge energy and desire to win.
So after the first national derby, the situation in the La Liga will change and become interesting. At that time, other teams will show their fangs one after another. The team that lost the game in the national derby is likely to become victims... What everyone says seems to make sense.
However, Real Madrid and Barcelona don't care about this at all. They don't care whether they monopolize the La Liga or not for the league, nor do they care whether the La Liga wants to surpass the Premier League and become the number one league. They just want to defeat each other and then win the championship. Whether in the domestic league, the Copa del Rey, or the Champions League, they will overwhelm their mortal enemies completely, and then they can laugh at their opponents.
In order to be able to enter the national derby with your head high, no one wants to lose before the national derby, that means they will be humble in front of their mortal enemies.
The national derby in the first leg of the season is in the 16th round of the league, and it is December 4th, and the kick-off is at 10 pm local time on Sunday.
No one can lose before this game!
※※ Whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona, their tasks in the Champions League group stage have been completed. Real Madrid and Barcelona have both obtained the right to qualify in their respective groups in advance with their super strength. Real Madrid even won the first place in the group with their double-defeated Arsenal at home and away.
Although Barcelona did not win the first place in the group in advance, there were still two group matches left, and the opponents were not strong enough. It should not be a problem for them to win the first place in the group.
In this way, both teams can temporarily focus on the domestic league. Before the national derby comes, they will make every effort to compete.
The consequence of doing so is that other teams in La Liga have suffered.
In the 11th round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 1:0 away, and Barcelona defeated La Coruña 3:0 at home.
The 12th round of the league. Barcelona, who was the first to beat Espanyol 2:1 away and won the Barcelona city derby. One day later, Real Madrid easily defeated Levante at the Bernabeu with a score of 3:1. Chu Zhongtian scored his third league goal in the new season in the game.
The 13th round of the league. Real Madrid and Barcelona played on the same day, but Real Madrid kicked off two hours ahead of Barcelona. On the away game, Real Madrid beat Santander 2:0 and Chu Zhongtian contributed an assist. C. Ronaldo became the most shining person. He scored twice in the game and won all the goals of the game. Just fifteen minutes after Real Madrid's game ended, Barcelona's game began. They had almost no suspense in their home game with Mallorca. Villa, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta each scored one goal, defeating each other 4:0.
The 14th round of the league. Barcelona first played and Real Madrid later played. Barcelona went on a hard away game and finally defeated La Coruña 3-2. This game once gave La Coruña lead. People thought that Barcelona's winning streak was about to be suspended. Even Real Madrid players who watched this game in front of the TV were very excited. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed in the last ten minutes. Barcelona scored two goals in a row and completed the reversal. The goal scored was Messi, who is now in a very strong momentum. After this game, Real Madrid was at home.
Hercules was welcomed. The strength of the two teams was very different. Real Madrid played at home again, so the game process was not as thrilling as the match between Barcelona and La Coruña. In his own home court, Real Madrid almost won the opponent without any blood. Two minutes into the game, C. Ronaldo helped the home team break the deadlock, and the next game was even better. In the end, Real Madrid swept Hercules 5:0 at his home court. Chu Zhongtian did not score in the game, but had an assist.
As of the 14th round of the league, Chu Zhongtian performed in Real Madrid with three league goals and nine assists. Three goals on the scorer list are not worth mentioning, but he was not a scorer and took it as his responsibility. He was still behind Xavi in the assist list, with a small assist and could overtake at any time. Moreover, considering that he was also placed outside the roster by Mourinho, he played less time than Xavi, so such a result is even more commendable.
Last season, the best foreign aid in the Spanish League One was Real Madrid's German midfielder Ozil. With the current momentum, the best foreign aid in La Liga this season is likely to fall into Real Madrid, and Chu Zhongtian has great hope of being elected.
※※※"This is really incredible. There are very few situations in La Liga history - Real Madrid and Barcelona have always been moving forward in the fourteen-round leagues in the new season, and neither side has fallen behind in advance! Fourteen consecutive wins! It's terrifying! Real Madrid scored forty-two goals in the fourteen-round leagues and conceded only five goals. Barcelona scored forty-nine goals in the fourteen-round leagues and conceded six. Six more goals than Real Madrid in the goal difference, so Barcelona is currently ranked first in the league. But this situation is about to end, and there is still one round of league left. A victory and loss must be decided between these two behemoths!"
After the end of the 14th round of the league, some media said so.
The situation is indeed incredible now. Even the La Liga was not here last season. After all, Real Madrid had a draw at the beginning, and Barcelona even lost. But this season, both sides actually won all the wins!
Moreover, the competition between the two teams is not simply at the level of league points. The scorer list and the assist list are both places where the two teams fight each other.
In the scorer list, Messi from Barcelona led C. Ronaldo with a slight advantage of fourteen goals, and the Portuguese scored thirteen goals, only one less than Messi. Last season, C. Ronaldo's condition fluctuated in the second half of the season, not as crazy as the first half of the season, so he finally lost to Messi in the competition for the scorer list. He made a comeback this season and would never want to lose to Messi again.
In addition, the competition between the two sides on the assist list is also very fierce. Although the assist list is not as dazzling and eye-catching as the scorer list, it can also reflect the strength of the two teams. After all, assists means that a team can create opportunities for shooters. The more assists, the stronger the team's ability to create opportunities.
In the assist list, Xavi led the lead with ten assists, Chu Zhongtian followed closely behind with nine assists, Ozil in the third place, with eight assists, and Iniesta in the fourth place, with seven assists.
The top four are a good explanation of why Real Madrid and Barcelona rank in the top two in the league, not any other team.
Another statistics are also very important, that is, to create scoring opportunities - similar to assists, but not assists. Assistances include "creating scoring opportunities", but goals must be considered assists, and the last passes who did not score in the end are "creating scoring opportunities". In this regard, Chu Zhongtian currently tops the list with 66 times, followed by his teammate Ozil in Real Madrid. Ozil created forty-three times for his teammates. The third and fourth places both came from Barcelona, Xavi, who created 38 scoring opportunities and Iniesta, who created 30 times.
The champion in this ranking last season finally belonged to Ozil. After Chu Zhongtian came this time, the top of the list changed hands. However, for Real Madrid, this is a good thing, and Bailey is harmless. Real Madrid strikers who have two players who can create opportunities are really happy... In response to this situation, some media said that in the new national derby, the protagonists are not Messi and C. Ronaldo, or even Mourinho and Guardiola, but the midfielders of the two teams - Real
Madrid has the best player in the Champions League last season, the best midfielder Chu Zhongtian, the German genius Ozil, and the Spanish metronome Alonso, as well as experts like Di Maria and Kaka. In Barcelona, there is no need to mention the names of Xavi and Iniesta, as well as Buzquez and Mascherano. Of course, if C. Ronaldo and Messi are classified as midfielders, the midfields of these two teams will be even more luxurious.
Due to Chu Zhongtian's joining, the value of the two teams has been increased again. This game is far more star-studded than the World Cup final, and more luxurious than the Champions League final last season. It can be said that in the entire European football world, there is no derby as eye-catching as the confrontation between these two teams. Even the "Milan derby" between AC Milan and Inter Milan, and the "England derby" between Manchester United and Liverpool cannot be compared with it.
So the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona is also called the "War of the Century".
The best Barcelona, and the best Real Madrid, will meet at 10 pm on December 4 at the Bernabeu Stadium.
What kind of wonderful performance will be then?
Many people can't wait to start two weeks in advance.
Chapter completed!
