Xu Zhu's Successor's Football Journey

Chapter 506 Preparations for Celebration
In the Spanish league this season, the early stage belongs to Barcelona, ​​but the late stage belongs to Real Madrid.

At the beginning of this season, it can also be said that throughout the first half of the schedule, all the voices will always belong to Barcelona, ​​because they are so powerful in the league, they almost declared that Barcelona is about to reach the top halfway.

They also do a good job.

Last season belonged to Barcelona, ​​and this season, when they saw that the team once again pulled down Real Madrid's many league points, they did have the confidence to say that they would reach the top halfway, because Real Madrid's performance was very sluggish at that time, and they had experienced a change. Handsome storm, which makes Barcelona people do not think that Real Madrid still has the ability to compete with Barcelona.

However, another one and a half matches passed, and all the Barcelona people died down. They shut their mouths tightly, and could only watch in silence as Real Madrid continued to set new records, and the road to the summit was getting closer and closer.

They have no way.

And now, Real Madrid has won its first trophy—the Copa del Rey, which is by no means comparable to the Spanish Super Cup. The gold content of this trophy is only slightly lower than that of the league. Barcelona people can only look at Real Madrid Can't do anything with the trophy because they didn't even make it to the final.

At this time, even the local media in Barcelona had to praise Real Madrid's performance. Football knows no borders. Even if they support Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's performance is obvious to all. This Copa del Rey final is almost a complete victory. With no power to fight back, what else can they say?

Perhaps, they just said sourly that 'Real Madrid got a world-class player by luck', but Florentino was under tremendous pressure to bring Wang Li to the Bernabeu for [-] million euros. This is not luck, at least Barcelona There was a chance, but they didn't do it.

For Real Madrid, today is definitely a happy day, because they got another trophy.

In the last season, Real Madrid's performance can be said to be a mess. The team has experienced ups and downs, but the results have not improved. Originally, they have no expectations for this season's results. Like Florentino, the fans They also put their minds on next season, but Real Madrid's strong outbreak gave fans hope.

And now this strength has been exchanged for a championship trophy.

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the whole center of Madrid went crazy, especially the Plaza de la Nudes in the center of Madrid, where tens of thousands of fans gathered before the start of the game, and they all came out to watch together in the square Real Madrid's game is ready to celebrate the championship.

From that moment on, they celebrated with great fanfare.

At the Mestalla Stadium, Wang Li also celebrated the championship with his teammates. After returning to the locker room, the players all took off their gentleman's disguise, shouting and cheering more and more crazily.

For Wang Li, winning the trophy is something worth celebrating, because it proves the value of his performance for Real Madrid, and it is an affirmation of his hard work.

Hard work pays off, and for him the championship trophy is the best harvest.

At the awards ceremony, as the captain of the players who came to Valencia, Wang Li walked up to the podium step by step. After shaking hands with the award presenters, he directly raised the Copa del Rey trophy, and then in front of everyone Kissed the sides of the trophy before handing it to his teammates.

Then, Real Madrid players each received a medal, which was specially customized for the players.

However, there are no Real Madrid second-tier players, but the Spanish Football Association has given Real Madrid a lot of mini-versions of the Copa del Rey as commemorations, which can be distributed to those second-tier players.

After the award ceremony, the players went back to the dressing room together, and at this point, their way of celebrating changed.

The celebration just now was just the madness after the game, but now that they have the trophy, they have a reference, so they stepped forward to take pictures with the trophy one by one, and Wang Li also took crazy pictures with his teammates. Something to remember.

In the locker room, Wang Li took photos with Robinho, Beckham, Zidane and others. Of course, the Copa del Rey trophy is indispensable in every photo, which is the focus of the celebration.

At the beginning, Carlo also celebrated with the players. It is rare to have a coach as friendly as Carlo, so the players rushed to take pictures with Carlo. But after a while, in order not to disturb the atmosphere in the locker room, Carlo Luo left.When the coach left, the locker room became even more lively, and everyone was celebrating the championship crazily.

As a head coach, Carlo certainly cannot celebrate wildly with the players, mainly because the players can forget everything for a while, but as the head coach of the team, he must remember that the team's road to winning the championship has just begun.

A few days after the final of the Copa del Rey, it was the semi-final of the Champions League. He didn't want to waste time on the celebration, and before leaving, he also asked all the players to return to Madrid with the team.

Under Carlo's urging, the lively scene in the locker room did not last long. When everyone felt a little tired, they began to pack their bags and prepare to return to Madrid together.

After all, this is someone else's territory. When they arrive in Madrid and the club, it is the beginning of their celebration.

Celebrate with Real Madrid fans, that's the real celebration.

This evening, the Plaza de Nudes in the center of Madrid is undoubtedly the busiest place. At the beginning of the Copa del Rey final, more than 1 fans gathered here, and they watched the live broadcast on the big screen in the square together. Come watch this game.

And as the game progressed, as Real Madrid scored goals one by one, more and more fans gathered here. The fans obviously knew that if Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey, all Real Madrid players would definitely come to the Goddess Plaza and the fans Let's celebrate the championship together.

The reason why it is celebrated here is because Cibeles, the goddess of nature and harvest, is the patron saint of Real Madrid. Every time Real Madrid wins the championship, they will come to this square to wear a scarf on the statue, and then celebrate the victory with the fans.

There is also a square next to the Goddess Square called the Poseidon Square, which belongs to the site of Atlético de Madrid.

However, at this time, there were only a few people in that square. At the beginning, there were Atletico Madrid fans gathered together, constantly cursing to God that Real Madrid could not play well, but as the game progressed slowly, they found that Real Madrid It must have won the championship, and it gradually dispersed. No Atletico Madrid fan wanted to see Real Madrid celebrating.

That would frustrate their rivals in the same city.

When the Real Madrid bus drove into the Goddess Square, the whole bus was immediately surrounded by fans, but after mediation, these fans also consciously gave way for the bus to continue, each of them had a face All with a smile, every Real Madrid fan is filled with happiness.

This night belongs to Real Madrid, and it belongs to Real Madrid fans, who have reason to cheer for the team's champion.After experiencing nothing in the last season and Real Madrid's disappointment in the first half of the game, the fans now cherish the championship extremely.

"adrid!!! WE ARE CHAMPIONS!!! CHAMPIONS!!!"

"The championship belongs to Real Madrid!!!"

After the bus stopped, the fans in the square shouted loudly. These shouts were mixed, but after a while, they gradually became orderly. This may be a kind of ritual, but also a preparation before the carnival.

Under such cheers, Real Madrid players got out of the bus and formed a whole row in the square. Then, Wang Li walked out from the crowd, holding a huge scarf in his hand, and walked towards Goddess of Nature and Harvest.

And the Real Madrid fans also spontaneously gave way to a road. Even though there are only a few police officers around, but in the current scene, the fans are orderly. They just stand around and watch Wang Li walk slowly. Shouting 'adrid! ! ! '.

The moment seemed utterly divine.

Wang Li has never experienced this kind of battle. When his teammates talked about this ceremony, he was even a little dazed, and he couldn't believe that the team had to carry out such a religious ceremony after winning the championship.

However, the team unanimously recommended Wang Li as the person to wear the scarf for the goddess. Wang Li was a little curious and did not refuse.

The goddess is very tall, and it is difficult for a person to step up without borrowing tools. Next to the goddess, the Real Madrid Club has already prepared a reduced version of the elevator platform for Wang Li to step on, which is very convenient.

Under the eyes of all the fans in the square, Wang Li boarded the elevator step by step. After reaching a certain height, he did not look back, but carefully tied the scarf around the goddess' neck with his hands in a formal manner.

After completing the ceremony, Wang Licai took a long breath. He stood on the elevator, looked down at all the fans in the square, and waved to them.

"Alan!! Alan!! Alan!!!"

At this moment, the cheers of the fans in the square were not in order, but they all shouted Wang Li's name. There is a reason why they like Wang Li, and perhaps more importantly, Wang Li's current position is too conspicuous. At the highest point, it looks down on all the fans as if looking down on the subjects, which makes the fans feel a kind of sincere awe.

"King, it's time for you to ascend the throne." When Wang Li got off the elevator, Beckham went up to meet him and joked.

At this time, the entire square was in chaos, and many fans shouted the names of the players. Amidst the cheers, the Real Madrid players hurriedly hid in the bus again.

In the bus, the players celebrated with the fans. It’s not that they didn’t want to get off the bus to celebrate. There are too many fans. I’m afraid even if Wang Li gets down, he will be stripped naked by the fans in a few minutes. , The next day's newspaper headline is likely to be 'Real Madrid wins the King's Cup, Alan Wang excitedly staged a streaking farce'.

It is not the first time that Wang Li won the championship. When he was at Chelsea, he won four important championships. However, when Chelsea celebrated the championship, it was not as enthusiastic as Real Madrid, and there was no such strange ceremony. All of this It made Wang Li feel novel, and it also made him feel the difference between Real Madrid and Chelsea.

After all, Real Madrid is a traditional giant, and many of their inheritances are indeed not comparable to the newly promoted Chelsea.

When returning home this evening, Wang Li put his medal and mini King's Cup in a small box, ready to have a chance to take it back to London.

The medals he won at Chelsea, as well as the trophies for World Player of the Year, top scorer, etc., were all placed by Wang Li in a specially vacated small showroom in Ellis's house. Now, Wang Li is not married yet, and he has no fixed Therefore, it is more convenient for these things to be placed at Ellis's house.

Thinking of this, Wang Li's heart moved, and he walked into the bedroom slowly.

At this time, Angela was sitting on a chair in the bedroom and looking at the computer screen. Wang Li walked over slowly and turned his head to see that an English movie was playing on the computer. It was a movie about love, but It seems that Angela's mind is not on the computer screen, because she has closed her eyes at this time, and her head is moving slightly, as if she is about to fall asleep lying on the table.

Since coming to Madrid, the two of them rarely slept so late. Obviously, Angela was waiting for Wang Li to come back.

Seeing this scene, Wang Li's heart warmed up. When he came home so late, there was still someone waiting for him silently. This feeling was really good.He walked over slowly, put his arms around Angela's shoulders, put his face on her shoulders, smelled the scent in her hair, and a fragrance came to his face, making Wang Li unconsciously intoxicated. in.

"Oops!" A scream interrupted the atmosphere.

Angela woke up from a half-sleep, she turned her head to see Wang Li, wrinkled her nose and said, "Why didn't you say anything when you came back?"

Wang Li smiled, didn't say anything, just hugged her quietly, feeling each other's warmth.

Gradually after a while, the atmosphere in the room became a little ambiguous, Angela turned her head and looked at Wang Li, everything was kept silent.

Soon, Yiyi's yelling came from the room. This kind of irregular yelling played the melody of falling asleep late at night.

The championship of the Copa del Rey made Real Madrid happy for two days in a row. The atmosphere of the team training in these two days was obviously much more relaxed. In the UEFA Champions League, the feeling of such a one-line battle is indeed a lot easier.

The next round of the Spanish La Liga will not start until May 5. They have pulled down Barcelona by as much as 1 points. With 6 rounds left in the league, Real Madrid only needs to win two games to win the league championship. , so that they do not have a little pressure.

Therefore, during the team's internal training, the players talked and laughed more.

This does not mean that the players are slack in training, each of them is working hard, but the atmosphere is more relaxed during the training process, for example, during the hard training process, the teammates will joke with each other Just kidding, etc., this situation is what the coaching staff wants to see, because it shows that Real Madrid players have no pressure, so that they can play their best in the big competition.

The team is very easy up and down, only one person is an exception, and that is the team coach Carlo.

On the night of the Copa del Rey final, Carlo also completely relaxed, but when he trained the next day, he was already thinking about the next game.

For Carlo, everyone can relax, but he can't. He must work out the tactics for the next game as soon as possible. A Copa del Rey obviously cannot satisfy Real Madrid. This season, Real Madrid and Carlo have only one goal, which is the triple crown king.

The only undetermined champion at the moment is the UEFA Champions League.

As the most outstanding club in the 20th century, Real Madrid has countless champions. They have become accustomed to using championship trophies as collectibles. Under such a smooth situation, one championship obviously cannot satisfy the appetite of this galaxy battleship, nor can it satisfy the appetite of fans .

On the night of celebrating the Copa del Rey, many Real Madrid fans had shouted the slogan of 'Triple Crown'. Although Real Madrid has won many championships in history, the Triple Crown is also a luxury for them.

In 99, Manchester United won a triple crown, and it is still being sung by the fans. It can be seen how difficult it is to win the triple crown. To win, there must be no mistakes in the middle, which is really too difficult.

However, for Real Madrid now, the Triple Crown is very close to them.

"Just get the Champions League trophy." Yes, it's that simple.

Although the next opponent is Benfica, a giant Portuguese team, it is only a small club compared to a team like Real Madrid, but in fact, those who can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League must not use dark horses To describe them, if they can eliminate other teams, even Barcelona, ​​they must have their own advantages.

There is a saying in European football that "there is no dark horse in the Champions League". This is the truth. Teams with no strength are eliminated as early as the group stage. Whether it is the knockout round of 16 or the knockout round of 8, every team has to face All of them are the best teams in other top leagues. If this situation can persist until now, can it still be called a dark horse?
At least, Benfica is a strong team, a strong team that can threaten Real Madrid.

The closer to the end of the season, the more we cannot relax. This is the gap between the giants and ordinary teams. Many teams performed very well in the early stage, but at the end of the season, their state declined extremely, and now it is the end of the season. Real Madrid is about to face the most dangerous game. As the team's head coach, Carlo can't help worrying.

He needs to get the team ready for everything.
