Chapter 66 Starting Lineup

Mourinho initiated a war of words, but did not continue to deal with it. Instead, Rossel's response seemed very ruthless, which made Mourinho lose his voice.

Although Rossel was severely criticized and criticized by Madrid media, everyone believes that the winner of this verbal battle belongs to Barcelona club chairman Rossel, because he successfully shut up Mourinho.

Mourinho did not respond to Rosel, which made the media feel bored. They could only criticize Rosel for being not humble and low-key enough, and to give his predecessor Laporta a case. Why did Laporta perform so well when he was president of Barcelona, ​​and he was still criticized as the club chairman because Laporta did not know how to be low-key and acted too arrogantly, which did not conform to Barcelona's philosophy.

But no matter what Barcelona's philosophy is, at least Rossel gave all Barcelona supporters a sigh of relief - they were very happy when they thought that Mourinho, a madman, would have been defeated for a day.

0: It is indeed a scar that is difficult to smooth with Real Madrid and Mourinho. Although it has been a year since then, this thing is still being re-mentioned from time to time to hurt Real Madrid. After Hefren scored his fifth goal in that game, he raised his palm high and stretched out his five fingers to symbolize five goals. This gesture is the biggest heartache for Real Madrid fans.

Pique raised his hand, Eric Abidal also raised his hand, and the players around Hefren Suarez all reached out. Valdes raised his hand, and the plastic gloves shone under the light. Not long after, the entire Camp Nou crowd raised his hand... This gesture became a symbolic gesture for Barcelona fans to humiliate Real Madrid after that game. After the game, the Barcelona Club began to sell a special T-shirt: they were blue and yellow, with a total price of only 9.95 euros, which was not expensive. The back of the T-shirt said "Great Battle", while the front text was reduced to traditional, leaving only the date and score of the national derby (Camp Nou, 29/11/2010, 5-0), and a big yellow handprint.

There was even a Barcelona sponsor who used this gesture when shooting advertisements. Barcelona players showed their hands and appeared on the bus. Although Barcelona denied that it was deliberately provoking and insulting Real Madrid, and claimed that the advertising idea was provided by the sponsor and had nothing to do with the Barcelona club, it was still believed that it was targeting Real Madrid.

However, this gesture is not original by Pique, and it even has a relationship with Barcelona. In Spain, this open five fingers have a special meaning - Athletic Santander fans may still retain their "palm" T-shirts - especially for Barcelona fans, it is even more difficult to let go. For a native Catalan like Pique, you will still remember the scene in which Santander defeated Barcelona with the same 5:0 score in 1995.

Therefore, when Hoffren helped Barcelona score the fifth goal, Pique couldn't wait to open his palms. Now he wants to give the score to Real Madrid, and he wants Real Madrid fans like him to remember this moment for the rest of their lives.

Not many people remember the story of Athletic Santander defeating Barcelona 5:0, but everyone still remembers the story of Barcelona defeating Real Madrid 5:0.

For Mourinho, this was the most painful failure he had since become the head coach. At that time, at the Camp Nou, 80,000 Barcelona fans yelled in unison: "Get out of the coach's seat, Jose! Get out of the coach's seat!" As a result, he sat on the coach's seat most of the time, without moving.

No one knows what Mourinho was in that time, maybe Almeria's players knew - they had just been fed eight goals by Barcelona. Almeria's player Hennoke Guito wrote to Mourinho on Twitter: "I can understand what you are thinking: you just hope the game ends as soon as possible."

Chu Zhongtian watched that game and he also had this idea. Not only Mourinho, but other Real Madrid players hope that the game would end as soon as possible.

This game was a terrible torture for them.

He was wondering how could he be willing to swallow the bitter fruit of losing 0:5 with Mourinho's vindictive character?

After the game, some media analysts believed that Mourinho must have thought about revenge during the game.

However, Barcelona believe that those are all speculations. The fact is that Real Madrid was hit by Barcelona at the Camp Nou. As for the revenge in the next round? Who knows the future? The facts have also proved that Real Madrid did not be able to complete revenge in the next round, but was eliminated by Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals.

For Mourinho, losing one after another to Barcelona is a great shame. He is the enemy of Barcelona throughout his life, and this relationship makes him especially unable to accept losing to Barcelona.

So this time, Mourinho did not say a word in the face of Rossel's provocation, which is really confusing.

You should know that according to his personality and temper, it is impossible to have revenge without revenge.

The blame is that this time he didn't say anything or did nothing.

Chu Zhongtian was a little disappointed with Mourinho's reaction. If it were him, he would never be able to bear such a thing, and he would find a way to fight back.

He is not the kind of person who will swallow his anger after suffering losses.

※※Although Mourinho said nothing, Real Madrid's reaction to Rossel's words was still very strong.

Everyone generally feels very unhappy. The scores in the past have been always shown and said that this is not a very polite and graceful thing in itself. Especially the person who speaks is the chairman of the club, people with this status should not say such ungraceful words.

Secondly, of course, that game is indeed the pain in these people's hearts. Now that Rossell repeatedly talks about this pain, it will remind them of the crushing defeat a year ago, and a sense of humiliation will surge in their hearts.

No one likes to be exposed to old scars. If Real Madrid beat Barcelona 5:0 and often talk about it, I believe that Barcelona people will be very unhappy.

In fact, the relationship between these two teams is good at other times except for the game. For example, Abidal temporarily left the team because of cancer, and the Real Madrid players sent their blessings as soon as possible. Such performance also moved Barcelona players. Pique is a famous anti-Real Madrid player in Barcelona. He expressed his gratitude and praise for the performance of Real Madrid players.

Although these people are players, first of all, they are ordinary people. They have ordinary people's feelings, and these feelings do not necessarily have to be affected by the grudges between the two clubs.

But if they have to poke their scars, they don't mind treating each other as enemies. Just like Ramos, no matter how good the relationship with Puyol is, even if it's a teammate of the national team, they will take action when they should... After complaining, Real Madrid players have a common idea that they must beat Barcelona in this game and use practical actions to draw Rossell in the face. Some people also proposed to win Barcelona at home, but this idea is a bit difficult to implement unless Barcelona is a bit difficult to implement. All Rona players had no fighting spirit, just like the second leg of the national derby in the 2007-08 season. Real Madrid had already won the league championship in advance before that game. According to management, Barcelona must line up at the Bernabeu to welcome the new league championship in this game, which is undoubtedly the biggest shame for Barcelona players. Therefore, Barcelona players in that game had no fighting spirit and had almost no resistance. Even so, the score of that game was only 4:1.

The 5:0 score has appeared seven times in the history of Real Madrid and Barcelona's league matches, of which Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5:0 five times, while Real Madrid only has two. So from this perspective, what Rosel said is not bad. Compared with Real Madrid, Barcelona does have a more tradition of defeating their arch rivals 5:0 - Barcelona's first defeat of Real Madrid appeared on April 21, 1935, and the most recent one was on November 29, 2010.

However, the biggest difference between the two teams was not 5:0, but the amazing score created by Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey, which is almost impossible to be copied now.

Not to mention 11:1, it is difficult for Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona today with 5:0 points. Barcelona is in the best period in their history. The players are talented, the head coach has outstanding talents, the team plays well and mature styles, and is almost an invincible team. This is true. So far in the new season, Barcelona has never lost in the league, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey.

Although Real Madrid is also very good, it is generally believed that it is the sadness of this Real Madrid in the same era as Barcelona. Because no matter how outstanding they are, they can only serve as a foil for Barcelona and serve as a stepping stone for Barcelona to step on the throne. Whether it was when Pellegrini led the team or Mourinho's first season, Real Madrid's scores can win the championship in any league, but they met the better Barcelona in La Liga... Why did you have a good life?

Therefore, the encounter and collision between these two teams is even more eye-catching.

※※※"There are still a few hours before the start of the game, but there is already a crowd outside the Bernabeu..." A reporter from Spanish TV station was making live reports to the audience outside the Bernabeu stadium. Every confrontation between the two sides can attract the attention and hype of the media, and this time is no exception.

For the Spanish national derby, there is no such thing as "aesthetic fatigue". Every game can attract a lot of attention. Every collision has a different story, which is always worth savoring.

For example, this time, it was considered by the Madrid media as a revenge day.

Although Barcelona did not double defeat Real Madrid last season, they maintained an unbeaten record against Real Madrid. Whether in the league or the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid did not beat Barcelona, ​​tied at home and lost away... Real Madrid has changed significantly after Chu Zhongtian this season, making people feel that they have the confidence to challenge Barcelona. On the other hand, it is naturally because Chu Zhongtian has a winning record against Barcelona.

In short, everyone thinks that if Real Madrid can defeat Barcelona, ​​then Chu Zhongtian is definitely an important factor that cannot be ignored.

Another important factor is that Mourinho must not play against Barcelona just because this is their home court. There is no team in this world who can beat them even if they play against Barcelona, ​​even Mourinho cannot do it. At this time last year, he played against Barcelona due to pressure from senior management, and ended up eating five goals.

Regarding this, Cruyff also published his article before this national derby. It seemed very neutral, but in fact he was still helping Barcelona speak.

He said: "...even a coach like Mourinho has to admit that if he wants to win a game against Barcelona, ​​he can only rely on ugly defensive counterattacks. And this is the eternal pain in the hearts of Real Madrid fans - a team like Real Madrid that has a fine tradition that has become the best club of the 20th century with heart-warming offensive football and noble artistic football. Now he can only rely on defensive counterattacks to challenge Barcelona. When will Real Madrid and Barcelona dare to say that they can defeat Barcelona when they attack? Perhaps only that day will be the moment for Real Madrid to truly revival..."

This is very reasonable and has made many Real Madrid fans feel depressed.

Real Madrid's football is definitely not a defensive counterattack football, nor is it an ugly football, but a beautiful football, an offensive football. This concept has been deeply rooted in people's hearts since the 1950s - Real Madrid represents the most advanced and most beautiful football in the world.

This is why Capello led Real Madrid to complete an amazing reversal, overtaking Barcelona, ​​winning the La Liga championship in the 2006-07 season, but still not receiving support from fans.

This season, with Chu Zhongtian, Real Madrid's playing style is much better than before, which makes Real Madrid fans full of expectations - when can we also play against Barcelona with confidence and then defeat them?

However, some news from the media before the game poured cold water on them again.

"… Mourinho does not rule out the possibility of three midfielders in the game..."

"...According to our reporter, Mourinho is testing the formation of the three midfielders playing at the same time during training. I believe this may be aimed at Barcelona..."

"...There are three genuine midfielders in Real Madrid now, including Chu, Alonso and Khedira. It is not impossible for the starter of the three midfielders..."

What does a three-back midfielder mean? In the eyes of most people, the three-back midfielder is synonymous with conservative and negativeness, which means that Mourinho has to play defensive counterattacks at his home court. The three-back midfielder is very good at defense, but what about the offense? No one knows.

These media said it is right. Mourinho is indeed considering playing three-middle midfielder. During this period, three-middle midfielder is the focus of training in Real Madrid.

Even the players were guessing that the starting lineup would be the third midfielder.

※※※The answer will be revealed before the competition begins.

Two hours before the game, the media won Real Madrid's starting list in this game.

Mourinho did let three midfielders play at the same time, but it seems that they are not three midfielders. Because in the formation chart, Chu Zhongtian Bikhdira and Alonso have to take the lead in the exam.

Neither Kaka nor Ozil started, Chu Zhongtian is actually... the front midfielder!

Chu Zhongtian beats the front midfielder?

It’s not that he has never played this position, but after all, he has very few times and is almost unattractive. Spain has even less understanding of his experience of playing the front midfielder, so it is very surprised.

When Real Madrid's starting lineup was shocking the media, Mourinho was doing something in the home team locker room at the Bernabeu.

He wrote Rossell's words on the tactical board.

At this time, the players were warming up outside, and there was no one else in the locker room except him.

"I think if we fail to win 5:0, it's a failure. Because it's Barcelona's tradition."

After writing this sentence, Mourinho drew a score below, which was exactly what Rossell said 5:0, but it was reversed. Real Madrid's score was in front and Barcelona's score was in the back-0:5.

After doing all this, he stepped back, wrapped his hands around his chest and looked at the tactical board in front of him, nodded with satisfaction and turned away.

※※※The Bernabeu Stadium was crowded with people, and the stands were basically full.

The game attracted broadcasts and reports from 200 television media from all over the world, and China Central Television was also among them.

However, this time the sister said that the game was no longer Duan Bin who liked "Wow", but He Ping, who has been responsible for commenting on La Liga games for many years. Now he has passed the South African World Cup and is already the number one football commentator of CCTV, so similar to coming to the Bernabeu and the Camp Nou... The task of conducting live commentary on the stadium naturally fell on him. This is not his first time to present a live commentary, but it is his first time to present a commentary at Real Madrid's home court... He is also full of expectations for this game. Judging from the list he received before the game, Chu Zhongtian was ranked in the front midfielder. Does this mean that Chu Zhongtian will be more responsible for offensive tasks in the game? If this is true, then some people will see it.

The grudges and hatred between Chu Zhongtian and Barcelona are simply worth looking forward to.

He was still vivid in the Champions League final half a year ago. Chu Zhongtian defeated Barcelona alone, and that game made him excited. So what about this time? He had better teammates around him, and he almost no longer had to turn the tide with his own strength.

It's really a pity to not see him appearing as a goalkeeper and throw Barcelona away without hesitation... He Ping thought in his heart "dark".

He is not a Real Madrid fan, but because of Chu Zhongtian, he became a Real Madrid supporter when he had Real Madrid's game. Just like he clearly supported Hoffenheim in the broadcast of the Champions League.
