Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 604 Europe 2003 Galaxy Battleship
This summer, as Newcastle and Chelsea have sufficient funds, the Premier League has achieved quite good results in the introduction of players. The poaching of corners has also been very successful. For example, Chelsea has poached the two Serie A forwards Mutu and Crespo, Newcastle has poached Lucio from the Bundesliga, and poached Makelele from La Liga. Many stars have been lost, among which the departure of Beckham is the most shocking.

Florentino succeeded in giving his Galacticos the seventh star, although Beckham's position overlapped with Figo's, and despite the introduction of Beckham, he left Makelele to make Real Madrid's offense and defense more powerful Unbalanced, but Florentino doesn't care about this. He is happy that after the introduction of Beckham, the club's jersey sales have increased by more than ten percent, and the trip to Asia has almost earned Beckham back. half of the transfer fee.

The only thing that makes Florentino a little dissatisfied is that there was a flaw in Real Madrid's Asian tour before the start of this season-they failed to negotiate a price with China, and the Chinese Football Association rejected his offer of 300 million euros. As for the appearance fee, you must know that the Chinese market is quite huge. If Chinese fans are as generous as those in Japan, how much money can Real Madrid earn in China!
However, Real Madrid's results after the start of the new season are quite good. Although they conceded a lot of goals, they scored more goals-think about it, the striker combination of Raul and Ronaldo, with Zidane, Figo and Beckham behind them Support, who can resist such a stormy attack?

Just like the first two games of the Champions League, although three goals were conceded in the two games, seven goals were scored!Scoring more goals and winning, this is the way Spanish fans like to play.

************************************
"Florentino is just a businessman. He does have skills in business, but in football, he is basically a layman." Mourinho said with a little disdain: "'A superstar every year 'The plan has indeed brought great prestige, good results and great wealth to Real Madrid, but at the same time it is destroying those young people in the Real Madrid youth team, which was originally the leading Spanish youth team, and reducing the living space of local players. And… …Even if you make more money, it’s still not as successful as your boss’s wonderful acquisitions.”

"No, Jose, I'm glad you said that, but I still admire Florentino." Pei Wei said with a smile, "He is a genius...the first person to commercialize a football club." To the ultimate genius, no matter how you say it, Real Madrid in the 'Galaxy Battleship' era will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of professional football development. Such a luxurious attacking lineup can be called unprecedented... But the hidden dangers he left for Real Madrid , It will take at least several years to pay off... In order to pursue superstars, he bought all the superstars who were already relatively old and began to decline from their peak, and the money to buy these superstars was the highest in the world Worth! Zidane is worth US$400 million, Figo is worth US$690 million, Ronaldo is worth US$5000 million, Beckham is worth more than US$4000 million... plus their super high annual salary of at least 500 million pounds, Even if Real Madrid can make money, they will not be able to make so much money back, and even if they want to sell them in the future, it will be difficult to sell them at a high price, so this approach can only be a loss, not to mention letting local youth players I don’t have any opportunities, so I don’t know how to play the superstar card. If I want to buy, I will only buy young talents or talented players, which are easy to manage and won’t lose too much money.”

"I also like to bring this kind of players." Mourinho laughed: "At least they are obedient."

"Tomorrow we will play against Real Madrid. This season is probably the last glory of Real Madrid in the era of the seven superstars... I am looking forward to the arrival of this game, because after this season, maybe there will be no more There is a team with so many superstars! A deformed and extremely desirable dream team!"

****************************************
On October 22, the majestic Bernabéu Stadium!
The [-] Real Madrid fans occupied the vast majority of the stadium. They roared crazily, hoping to see their pride win another hearty victory in this great stadium!

Since the start of this season, Real Madrid has won five games in seven rounds of the league, including a hearty [-]-[-] victory!Although they once lost to Valencia in the away game, they still ranked first, while their old rival Barcelona, ​​despite the introduction of Brazilian star Ronaldinho before the season, they are still in La Liga. It was difficult, and only two victories were won in seven games. Just before this Champions League game, Barcelona had suffered four winless games, including a two-game losing streak!

What makes Real Madrid fans more happy is that there is no Real Madrid's scenery and Barcelona's embarrassment in the world!What's more, these two things happened at the same time!

In the Champions League game, Real Madrid has also won two consecutive victories. This game seems to be another victory, right?How can the three opponents of this group, whether it is Porto, Marseille or Newcastle, stop the progress of the "Galaxy Battleship"?Although Newcastle has changed to a new boss, bought many players, and even poached Makelele from Real Madrid, how can these people add up to compare with Real Madrid's superstars?Makelele, you greedy guy, you forgot that Real Madrid gave you the honor of winning the Champions League and La Liga!Leave Real Madrid, you will never get any honor again!

In the box, Pei Wei met with the chairman of Real Madrid, Florentino. This politician and businessman, who is now the most well-known club chairman in continental Europe, smiled and shook hands with Pei Wei: "You are very welcome. ...the first Asian to own a European club."

Pei Wei also smiled and held Florentino's hand: "Where... I just want to satisfy my wish as a fan... You know that Real Madrid is the club I admire the most, whether it is Zidane Or Figo, Ronaldo or Beckham, they are all my favorite stars! I really hope to have the opportunity to have them."

"Real Madrid has always had the best players in the world." Florentino accepted Pei Wei's compliment with restraint: "But I think Newcastle will definitely have this day."

Speaking insincerely, the two sat down as guest and host, while waiting for the start of the game.

There is no change in Real Madrid's lineup. In fact, it is impossible for Queiroz to make any changes. As long as the seven superstars are not injured, they will definitely play. If they want to replace them, neither the chairman nor the fans will agree——Goalkeeper Silas, four defenders Salgado, Elguera, Pavon and Roberto Carlos, double midfielders Cambiasso and Beckham, midfielder Zidane on the left, Figo on the right, The double forwards are captain Raul and Ronaldo.

Newcastle's lineup is also [-], goalkeeper Given, four defenders Kufuor, Woodgate, Lucio and Bernard, midfielder Makelele and Janus partner in the middle, Robert and Nie Fei Left and right, the forwards are partnered by Ibrahimovic and Shearer. Although Newcastle's lineup is also full of international players, compared with the star-studded Real Madrid, it is obviously much bleak.

After the start of the game, Real Madrid still launched an onslaught from the very beginning, while Newcastle shrunk their defense, compressed the opponent's space to hold the ball, and used fierce personal presses to deal with Real Madrid's superstars. The entire formation was very compact. The distance between the lines is reduced, and a dense defense is used to counter the opponent's short-pass attack-a typical English style of play.

In terms of offense, if there is a chance, it will be handed over to two full-backs with fast speed, excellent technology and strong breakthrough ability, using their speed to break through the defense and create opportunities for the two high center forwards in the middle. It's time to retreat to the midfield to get the ball, and connect the midfielder and frontcourt-this is a typical British style of play, concise and clear, fierce and unstoppable.

This is exactly the method Mourinho uses to deal with Real Madrid. Aren't you good at technique, excellent in coordination, and strong in striker personal ability?If you have good technique, I will suppress your space for dribbling the ball. If you cooperate well, I will make it difficult for you to pass the ball smoothly. If the forward's personal ability is excellent, I will let you have no space for breakthrough and shooting. At the same time, I will pursue efficiency in counterattack. Force your defense to make mistakes by frequently breaking through the two sides. Anyway, after Makelele and Hierro left, Real Madrid did not have experienced and stable defenders.

To reduce the number of shots taken by the opponent and then seize the opportunity to counterattack, this is Mourinho's idea.

Among the current Real Madrid defensive players, although Cambiasso is fierce in fighting and running actively, and Beckham's running ability is also quite good, but they are not standard defensive players after all. Cambiasso first played as a midfielder , and he is not the Cambiasso who can be ranked among the top ten defensive midfielders in the world in the future at Inter Milan. Beckham is even a full-back. Young and inexperienced, Salgado has also begun to decline. In Mourinho's view, Real Madrid's defense line is full of flaws.

Mourinho doesn't believe that his offensive players can't even break through such a line of defense. The key to this game is whether Newcastle can withstand the attacks of Real Madrid's superstars!
