What gave Mourinho a headache was that Chu Zhongtian's arrival broke the team's mature tactics last season. The team had to formulate new tactics to adapt to Chu Zhongtian's joining, but the problem now is that due to the Copa America, many South American players in Real Madrid were out and could not return to the team. If the staff was not intact, there was no way to conduct tactical training.

The 43rd Cup of America will be held in Argentina from July 1 to July 24. Argentina and Brazil are both favorites to win the championship. They are likely to reach the finals. In Real Madrid, all South American players come from these two countries. If both teams reach the finals, it means that Real Madrid players among these two teams will have to return to the team at least in early August, because they will have to take a vacation after playing in the Copa America.

Mourinho actually does not want these players to go back to participate in the Copa America, but his arms cannot twist his thighs. Argentina and Brazilian Football Association have sufficient reasons to call their own players to participate in such intercontinental competitions, and the club must not stop them.

Except for Higuain who just returned from injury and stayed in the team, Di Maria, Gare, Kaka and Marcelo all participated in this Copa America. Among these people, except Gare, they were almost all the main players of the team. Three main players were drawn at once, which made Mourinho very unhappy.

During this period, the team only conducts physical training, mainly to restore the team's physical fitness and does not involve tactical training, which is okay. But the team can't keep physical training, and then wait for the players participating in the Americas Cup to return to the team before practicing tactics, right? In that case, it will be less than a month before the start of the new season, and it is obviously too late.

How to arrange Chu Zhongtian is another headache for Mourinho.

Chu Zhongtian's ability is nothing. Although Mourinho refused to admit it, he agreed in his heart. The problem is that his role is similar to Alonso. Dual cores do not mean that they can succeed. On the contrary, incompatibility may occur.

If Chu Zhongtian was to be put on the stage, how could he coexist with Alonso?

Mourinho must solve this problem. Florentino definitely doesn't want to see the player he bought for 70 million euros sitting on the bench all day long, and then the media mocked him for taking a look at him again. It was already very unhappy for Benzema to frequently sit on the bench last season.

Another thing that gave Mourinho a headache was also related to Chu Zhongtian.

Because of Chu Zhongtian's arrival, Roussena Diarra began to get angry again. He felt threatened. He had already played as the main player in the second half of last season, but he didn't expect that Chu Zhongtian transferred to join and threatened his position just beginning this season.

During this period, news of him being transferred has been reported in the media.

Mourinho actually doesn't want Diara to leave, because after dealing with Gago, Mohamed Diara one after another, there are only Xavi, Alonso, Chu Zhongtian, Khedira and Lassena Diara. If Diara leaves again, there will be only three midfielders left. If someone is injured, he will be in a short position in the midfielder.

Diyala is a very outstanding defensive midfielder. If he lets go, he has to find a replacement... Diyala's desire to leave the team is now very strong, and he was even late in yesterday's training. His explanation was that the traffic jam was on the road. The genius believed him. He had never seen any traffic jams in training at this time every day, but yesterday's traffic jams?

Mourinho knew that Diarra wanted to use this method to force him to let him go.

Diyala's agent has also found Valdano and expressed his players' desire to leave Real Madrid.

What about Florentino’s opinion? If a club can give a suitable offer, then sell Lassena Diarra.

How can Diyala make up for the team's losses in the midfield after selling it?

Go buy another one?

It is hard to buy a good midfielder now. The best midfielder in the world last season has been bought by Real Madrid... Now Mourinho can only hope that Chu Zhongtian and Alonso will not be injured after the start of the new season.

At least from the results of the physical examination, Chu Zhongtian is in excellent health and has no problems with his physical condition. At the same time, according to his past history, he is also a player who rarely gets injured. At Hoffenheim, he has never missed a game due to injury, and at Metz. If this is true, you can look forward to it...※※※ "The Premier League giants are interested in Real Madrid's iron waist!"

"Las: I'm leaving Real Madrid!"

The media is full of reports that Lassena Diyala is about to transfer and leave Real Madrid.

However, within Real Madrid, this is not "news". It has been a day or two for Diyala to make a transfer. From last season to this season, if he really leaves one day, everyone will not be surprised.

Lassena Diala has been to Real Madrid for two and a half years, but his popularity within Real Madrid has never been very good, which has something to do with language disconnection. He has been to Real Madrid for two and a half years, and he still uses French to chat with Benzema more, and Spain hardly does not. Another reason is related to his personality. He is introverted and does not want to actively integrate into the Real Madrid locker room, which can be seen from his progress in learning Spanish. In addition, he expressed his desire to leave Real Madrid many times, which made many Real Madrid players in the team feel dissatisfied.

In Real Madrid, the only person who can be called his friend may be Benzema, who is also from France. So when Benzema and Diyala could not play in the game before, Diyala would declare that he would transfer and bring Benzema with him.

Real Madrid will not feel sorry for Diyala's departure. This player who is unwilling to play as a substitute may only be able to satisfy his desire to play as a main player by going to a mid- and lower-level team. Otherwise, in a giant club like Real Madrid, he will always be reduced to a substitute... Real Madrid needs a qualified substitute, but he may not be willing to.

Some Chinese media are worried that Diyala's departure will cause Chu Zhongtian to have any conflict with Diyala during training.

Their worries are redundant. Chu Zhongtian and Diyala have no conflicts, at least on the surface. In fact, Diyala is more dissatisfied with Real Madrid clubs. Anyway, he has to leave, so there is no need to have conflicts with him.

The tug-of-war between Diyala and Real Madrid's senior executives soon came to an end. On July 15, Real Madrid announced that it had reached an agreement with Manchester United, and Ralsena Diyala transferred to Manchester United for a price of 25 million euros.

Ferguson did not grab Chu Zhongtian, so he could only buy Diyala as a substitute. You should know that Diyala was also the core of the midfield when she was in Portsmouth. She was good at attacking and defending, but in all aspects, he was inferior to Chu Zhongtian.

When Real Madrid bought him from Portsmouth, they spent 20 million euros, but this time they switched their hands at a price of 25 million euros, and finally they didn't lose money.

Diyala's departure provided Chu Zhongtian with a number - No. 10.

Chu Zhongtian’s favorite number is No. 8, but now Real Madrid’s No. 8 belongs to Brazilian Kaka. This is also a superstar. He is not the type of second-team rookie who has just been promoted to the first team. If he wants to pass this number from him, it is impossible if the other party disagrees.

In fact, Kaka has long said that he likes No. 8 and does not want to use other numbers anymore.

Therefore, Real Madrid's No. 8 is destined to be impossible to belong to Chu Zhongtian.

The choice given to Chu Zhongtian now is to accept the No. 10 that Diyala stayed.

Or you can use No. 5. Zidane really hopes that Chu Zhongtian will use No. 5, after all, this is his number in Real Madrid. But Chu Zhongtian is not interested in No. 5.

Finally, after soliciting opinions, Chu Zhongtian chose No. 10.

Real Madrid's 10 belongs to Chu Zhongtian.

Although the number can no longer represent anything now, some special numbers still make people excited.

10. Since Bailey, this number has become the core symbol of the team. It is the number that only the ace among the aces is qualified to wear.

Since Figo, Real Madrid's No. 10 has lost its glory and become an ordinary number. Neither Robinho, Sneider nor Lassena Diarra have promoted this number.

Of course, compared with No. 7 and No. 9, No. 10 is not a great number in Real Madrid. No. 7 is now more well-known because of Raul. Many Real Madrid fans in China believe that No. 7 is called the greatest number in Real Madrid because of Raul Gonzalez. In fact, as early as 1962-1976, Amancio wore No. 7 jersey and became an epic representative. During his time at Real Madrid, he won the league championship nine times, three times the Cup, and once the European Champions League.

The next representative figure is Juan Vanito in the 1970s and 1980s. He was also a player of Atletico Madrid. He was abandoned by Atletico Madrid at the age of 20 and then joined Real Madrid. During his ten years of playing for the team, Vanito, who was bold and even somewhat violent, conquered Real Madrid fans with his fighting spirit. Several classic cup reversals all came from his feet. This No. 7 player dared to kick the lineman and punch Matteus... In Real Madrid's slump in the 80s

In the era, Vanito became a symbol of Real Madrid's fighting spirit. Every time the seventh minute of the home game was held, singing cheering for him would sound in the stands of the Bernabeu. When Vanito died in a car accident in 1992, Madrid was deserted, and Real Madrid Club held a grand funeral at the king level for him. In history, only the father of the Champions League, Bernabeu, had enjoyed such a funeral. Until now, the "Vanito Spirit" is still an important spiritual wealth for Real Madrid. Whenever they face difficulties, someone would mention Vanito Spirit.

The one who really pushed Real Madrid's No. 7 to the international world was Raul's No. 7 - Butragno. As a representative figure of Real Madrid's "Five Eagles", "Vultures" Butragno and Michel formed Real Madrid's Gemini constellation in the 1980s. In 1985 and 1986, they helped Real Madrid win the UEFA Cup.

Next is Raul Gonzalez.

Another great number is No. 9. You can only know the reason why this number is great from these names - Paino, who scored 124 goals in 144 official games, "Golden Arrow" Di Stefano, Grosso, who has selfless offense and defense, Sandiana, the golden header king who played for Real Madrid for 461 times, the goal machine that won the top scorer of La Liga in four, Ugo Sanchez, "terrifying Ivan" Zamorano, Davao Suk, who can play the violin with his left foot", Raul's best partner Morientes, the phenomenal "alien" Ronaldo, and the most expensive No. 9 c. Ronaldo in history.

Compared with these two numbers, No. 10 is really not too great. The biggest ones are Hungarian Colonel Puskas, Figo, Laudrup and Sidov are all slightly inferior.

Now that Chu Zhongtian has taken this number, Chinese media shouted that Chu Zhongtian has inherited the fine tradition of Real Madrid No. 10. In fact, they really can't say that there are any great people who have ever worn this number. After recent generations of interpretation, No. 10 has actually become an ordinary number in Real Madrid, and it doesn't make much sense.

Even Chu Zhongtian himself did not express his intention to carry forward this number in an interview. He just said that it was a wonderful thing to be able to become Real Madrid's No. 10.

This number is actually quite meaningful and can give people unlimited room for imagination.

Because No. 10 has always been the core number in the football world, the number of the midfielder. Chu Zhongtian wearing such a number cannot help but remind people of his ability. Does Mourinho's explanation of this number to Chu Zhongtian?

※※※"No, no, it has no meaning." Mourinho answered the reporter's question at the regular press conference after training. "For me, No. 10 or No. 90 are just ordinary numbers. What I choose to choose a player is his training attitude and status, not what number he wears."

A Chinese reporter immediately stood up and asked: "So what do you think of the team's training attitude of No. 10 now?"

Mourinho grinned: "Very good."

The Chinese journalists all laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.

There have been rumors before that Chu Zhongtian and Mourinho had a personal grudge, so Chu Zhongtian could not be reused under Mourinho. Moreover, Chu Zhongtian was introduced by Zidane, not Mourinho's intention. Mourinho prefers Schweinsteiger, and Chu Zhongtian is the fuse of the conflict between Mourinho and Zidane.

But judging from Mourinho's answer, it doesn't seem like that.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian himself couldn't figure out what Mourinho felt about him. From his usual training, he couldn't tell whether Mourinho liked him or hated him. His face was smiling, but that was when he was in a good mood and was like that to everyone. His impeccable performance in training did not give Mourinho a chance to show that he was not good to him.

Chu Zhongtian is not as anxious as the domestic media. Since he comes, he will be content with it. When he comes, he will not think about whether he can play like this. He believes in his strength and believes that Mourinho is not the kind of person who can avenge his personal revenge. In fact, when Mourinho was at Chelsea, he once mocked c. Ronaldo is a fake thrower. What about now? c. Ronaldo is Mourinho's most trusted player. He has never had a game last season, starting every game, playing all the time, and being the real core.

So in fact, Chu Zhongtian didn't really believe that Mourinho would put himself on the bench because of his personal grudge. There is only one factor in deciding whether he would be a substitute, that is, whether his state has met the requirements.

Apart from training, Chu Zhongtian did not think about other messy things.

Of course, he did not forget to make friends at Real Madrid. After all, these teammates will fight side by side with him in the future. As a midfield organizer, he must understand every teammate, not only understand their style of playing football but also their personality traits in order to make the most suitable teammate decision on the field.

※※※ "Hey, Chu." After the training, c. Ronaldo practiced free kicks for himself as usual, and he always did this. That's why he often scored with free kicks in the game.

Of course, Chu Zhongtian is the one who practices with him. He is practicing shooting more. After training every day, the two of them have become a landscape in Real Madrid Sports City within these ten days.

The friendship between Chu Zhongtian and C. Ronaldo gradually developed through this kind of extra training. As the first person to help Chu Zhongtian, it is natural that they have a better relationship.

Chu Zhongtian heard the sound of C. Ronaldo calling him, stopped shooting, turned around and looked at the Portuguese.

Two people were back to back, one shot from the goal here and the other shot from the goal there, but they were on the small field, so they would not be too far away, and they could still hear the sound of each other talking.

"Come to my house tomorrow night, I have a party."

c. When Ronaldo was in England, he was portrayed as a "little prince in nightclub", but strangely, when he came to Madrid, the news about him still hanging out in a nightclub at night was almost extinct. Only those who know him knew that c. Ronaldo was first and foremost a professional player.

Chu Zhongtian was a little surprised. "Does the whole team go?"

The Portuguese smiled and shook his head: "How is it possible? It's just a few friends. Some of my friends want to know you, and at the same time they also want to meet the famous Hollywood star Emily Stan. How about it?"

Chu Zhongtian thought about it. During this period, Emily was indeed a little bored even if she was looking for a house and staying with her in the hotel. She might as well take this opportunity to relax.

He nodded and agreed: "Okay, no problem."

c. Ronaldo received a positive answer and happily pushed the ball up and kicked it towards the goal. The ball hit the crossbar directly, making a crisp sound.

When Chu Zhongtian saw his appearance, he couldn't help laughing. Last season, the two of them were their opponents, and they kept competing on the court, but this season they became teammates and had a good relationship.

Last season, he tried his best to lead his team to defeat Real Madrid, but this season he had to fight side by side, and then tried his best to defeat those teams who wanted to defeat them.

This feeling is really wonderful.
