Chapter 75 Year-end Awards
"This is Real Madrid's counterattack! Ramos... Adebayo headed the ball back... Ozil received the ball and passed it to the side... He passed the ball to Chu! Cristiano Ronaldo! He received Chu's pass, and he attracted everyone's attention! Barcelona's defenders must be very careful, this is a dangerous person! Is he going to shoot? No... cross! cross! It's cross!... Chu - gooooooooooooooooooooooool!!!"
Chu Zhongtian's goal in the national derby was played in front of the TV, and the narrator's passionate roar was soon drowned in cheers of greater victory.
"This is the highlight moment for Chu! He scored his first goal in the national derby! He is Barcelona's nemesis! Guardiola's Barcelona is the most powerful team in the world at present, but if anyone can defeat them, there are probably only two people, one is Mourinho and the other is Chu! And these two people are now in Real Madrid, and the competition between the two teams this season is very worth watching..."
※※※There is only one voice in the entire Bernabeu stadium, and that is the cheers of Real Madrid fans.
In the 79th minute of the game, Real Madrid led two goals, which basically announced the end of the game in advance. Even Barcelona could not score two goals or even three goals in the last ten minutes when facing Real Madrid.
What's more, Barcelona is not good at playing against the wind. In this level of game, falling behind by one goal is enough to be fatal, let alone falling behind by two goals... In fact, this is indeed the case next. When the game started again, there was no sign of the cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium weakening, and Barcelona players seemed a little depressed.
Although there are still people who don’t want to give up the competition, they are unfortunately unable to go there.
Facing Real Madrid's iron wall, neither Messi nor Iniesta can do anything.
In the 80th minute, Guardiola made his last move. He replaced Boyan, replaced Villa, and replaced Mascherano, and replaced Puyol, who was exhausted. But these substitutions were all just right and lacked the courage and courage that was forced into a desperate situation. Guardiola's team's performance has been smooth since coaching Barcelona. In his first season, he created such a great result of the six-champion title, so he was actually like a flower in a greenhouse, without encountering any big storms. The storms he encountered were all the result of him losing. For example, last season, the season when Inter Milan won the triple-champion title, the first in the Champions League semi-finals.
In the round, Barcelona lost 1:3 away, and Guardiola had no choice but to beat Mourinho's team. Back at home, the Catalan media played the slogan of revenge "Unity, we can create miracles". What's the result? Mota was sent off and caused the game to go in another direction. Guardiola never expected Mourinho to stick to the death with one less person. Facing Inter Milan, which could not defend, he could not come up with a better way, and could only rely on the team's inertia to attack Inter Milan. Although the ball possession rate was astonishingly high, it was useless. In the end, although he scored a goal, he lost 2:3 with a total score and was eliminated.
This game can be regarded as the heaviest blow and the most painful "failure" since Guardiola coached Barcelona. The reason for putting in quotation marks is that Guardiola did not lose in a single game, but lost the most critical total score.
This game also fully exposed Guardiola's lack of experience as the head coach, which led to his lack of flexibility in on-site command.
This is a problem, but it did not attract people's attention, because Guardiola soon defeated Mourinho's Real Madrid 5-0 in the national derby in the new season, avenged the previous revenge and made the media's flattery reach its peak. It seems that Guardiola has no problem, and he and his team are the most perfect in the world.
Now, this problem has been exposed again, how many people can take it seriously?
※※※Four minutes of injury time. After entering injury time, Mourinho used his last substitution and replaced Carvalho with Albiol. In terms of the substitution itself, there was no point in replacing Carvalho with Albiol. Carvalho was not exhausted and was not injured. This time the substitution was completely a tactical substitution, and Mourinho made a substitution to delay the game time. If the substitution is replaced before injury time, this time will be counted into injury time, and thirty seconds will be replaced at a time. But if the substitution is replaced in injury time, then there will be no additional thirty seconds.
This is Mourinho's cunning side.
At this time, the score on the field was still 2:0, with the home team Real Madrid leading, and the home team fans in the stands began to cheer impatiently.
This is their first defeat of Barcelona in three years and it is a time to celebrate!
When Chu Zhongtian pushed Pi Kui's long pass out, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.
"The game ends - congratulations to Real Madrid! They finally defeated the powerful Barcelona! Defend the earth at their home court!"
"It's over! Barcelona lost to Real Madrid 0:2 away. They didn't perform well in this game. Real Madrid's performance was very good. Ronaldo and Chu's goals made them laugh to the end..."
"Chu Zhongtian's goal in this game further proves his position in the team and he is indispensable!"
As soon as the game ended, Chu Zhongtian was surrounded by the media. The reporters all knew the grudge between this man and Barcelona. In the Champions League final, he was not just as simple as defeating Barcelona. Many people thought that Chu Zhongtian was completely humiliating Barcelona - losing to a temporary cameo goalkeeper, and was also sealed by this temporary cameo goalkeeper in the penalty shootout. For the arrogant Barcelona players, what is this not humiliation?
In addition, after the game, Chu Zhongtian said, "Barcelona's football is eternal, but the champion belongs to Hoffenheim." There will definitely be no Barcelona supporters who think that Chu Zhongtian's words are a compliment and praise for them... Usually, they regard it as a provocation.
"How do you feel when you beat Barcelona again, Chu?" A Madrid reporter deliberately bit the word "again".
"It feels good." Chu Zhongtian replied with a smile of joy in the face of the winner.
"What do you think about participating in the national derby in the league for the first time and starting in the national derby for the first time?"
"I think...this is an important reason why I came to Spain."
The reporters of the Real Madrid all laughed. Of course, there is no need to worry that Chu Zhongtian's words would cause dissatisfaction among Barcelona reporters, because Barcelona reporters did not come to interview Chu Zhongtian at all. They all went to interview failed Barcelona players, but Barcelona players did not give them face. They hurriedly left the stadium and entered the player channel. Barcelona reporters finally grabbed the slow-moving captain Puyol. Facing those microphones, Puyol's expression seemed helpless - what is more like sprinkling salt on the wound than losing the ball?
"So, Chu. How do you feel about the national derby?"
Chu Zhongtian thought about it and said to the reporters: "For the national derby, I will always look forward to the next one most!"
※※※"For the national derby, I will always look forward to the next one most!"
Chu Zhongtian said to the TV camera.
Emily, sitting on the sofa, snuggled up to Chu Zhongtian: "It's so cool!"
"...Real Madrid's newcomer Chu has sent a challenge book to his old opponent! The 2:0 against Barcelona is still talking about Real Madrid fans, and Chu and his teammates have obviously set their sights on the next national derby..."
The host on the TV said.
The national derby is a very special competition. Generally, after the game is over, everyone can discuss it for one day, while the national derby can be discussed continuously for several days, with new topics every day.
For example, on the first day, the pro-Real Madrid cheered, and the pro-Barcelona was like a loss. On the second day, the pro-Real Madrid continued to dig deep into various details of the game, while the pro-Barcelona began to analyze where Barcelona lost. On the third day, it completely spread out. Real Madrid sent Mourinho and the goal-scoring hero c. Ronaldo, Chu Zhongtian sang praises, and Barcelona shouted, "We want to take revenge", "If you have the ability, you can wait!" "Give you another 5:0 at the Camp Nou!" Such... all kinds of news emerged one after another.
But this time it was slightly different.
This time, in addition to the news of the two teams, there is also a series of news that has attracted much attention.
That is the selection result of the World Football Master Award.
At the end of each year, the world football awards are released. During this period, the most popular thing is who will become the world football master and who will win the European Golden Globe Award.
Although the European Golden Globes have been co-organized with World Football, after an unconvincing selection season, the organizer of the European Golden Globes, French Football magazine, decided to re-summon the independent goal awards.
This year is the first year of the rebirth of the European Golden Globes.
In fact, the list of the top three candidates was released long before the match against Barcelona. All three candidates came from these two teams, with Barcelona occupying one place and Real Madrid occupying two places.
Messi is naturally representing Barcelona, while Real Madrid has C. Ronaldo and Chu Zhongtian.
Messi and C. Ronaldo are old faces. Both of them are shortlisted for their outstanding performance in the club, especially their amazing results in goals.
Chu Zhongtian's selection was entirely due to the results of the Champions League. Hoffenheim is not a giant team, and before the Champions League final, he could not rank in the entire European football world. Although he had a certain influence in Germany, the influence of the German Football League in European football was already low... What made Chu Zhongtian finally enter the shortlist was his amazing performance in the Champions League final. The Champions League final was a typical example of Chu Zhongtian defeating Barcelona alone. He played his personal heroism to the extreme in that game. In the midfield, he fought against Barcelona's fantasy midfield alone. When the team needed to score, he turned into a striker and scored a key goal to equalize the score for the team. But his performance was not over yet. After the substitute goalkeeper was sent off, it was Chu Zhongtian's show_time that really shocked the world.
Chu Zhongtian, who turned into a goalkeeper, blocked Barcelona. In the last second of the overtime, Pedro and Messi had the opportunity to cooperate to score a must-scoring goal, but Chu Zhongtian saved it with incredible agility. After the ball was saved, the entire Wembley Stadium was silent - Barcelona fans were stunned, while Hoffenheim fans forgot to cheer.
With this save, it is enough to make the whole world remember Chu Zhongtian's gorgeous performance. Not to mention that in the subsequent penalty shootout, Chu Zhongtian also blocked Barcelona.
But it is unlikely that he can win this year's World Footballer and European Goal Awards.
The European Golden Ball Award was selected by French Football magazine. It is voting by editors and reporters of French Football magazine. This award is more professional and authoritative. Chu Zhongtian's performance may impress those professional journalists and editors. However, the FIFA World Football Masters' selection depends on the head coaches and captains of various national teams to vote. The selection method itself has many problems, not to mention that FIFA has the tradition of undercover operations. The captains and head coaches of the national team vote completely from the perspective of candidate fame. In this way, Messi and C. Ronaldo have a good advantage, because after the bombardment of the media over the years, children know their names, but what about Chu Zhongtian? Before the Champions League final, how many people knew his name? After the Champions League final, how many people remembered his name and could they remember it when voting?
Therefore, some pessimistic Chinese media have begun to accuse FIFA of this lazy selection method - they have never commented on this selection method before, but now that their interests are involved, they are about to start criticizing it.
Can Chu Zhongtian win these two awards? I don’t know at this time, but the answer to one award has been revealed, that is, the “World’s Best Player” selected by the British "World Football Magazine". The magazine’s readers voted, and Chu Zhongtian from China was finally elected as the World’s Best Player of the Year 2011.
However, this award is limited to the voting of readers of World Football Magazine, and its limitations are too strong. In addition to the decline of the popularity of this magazine, it has no influence anymore. Except for Chinese media, major European media have not paid much attention to the results of this award.
Despite this, for Chu Zhongtian, this is still a affirmation of him.
Just after the news of his award came out, Chu Zhongtian received a call from Boss John. In the call, Boss John did not forget to brag about the efforts his own people had in this selection. "We have called on many people to vote for you, Chu!"
The best football player in the world is more like an appetizer before a meal.
The most attractive ones are the Golden Globes and the World Footballer.
There is no suspense for the Golden Globes. Everyone already believes that unless the editor and reporter of "French Football" have their brains twitched, it is impossible to ignore Chu Zhongtian's performance in the Champions League. He can bring a country team that no one was optimistic about before to the finals, and defeat Barcelona and win the European Champions League when everyone thinks it is impossible. The reporter cares about these things very much, so there is basically no suspense for Chu Zhongtian to be elected to the European Golden Globes. In fact, before the awards, the news circulated through various channels was that Chu Zhongtian had already won the European Golden Globes.
The last suspense now is the FIFA World Footballer. Although it has the lowest value, it has the greatest influence. After all, there are not many professionals, and most of them are watching the fun.
FIFA is obviously more famous than "French Football".
※※※These days, Chu Zhongtian has been surrounded by reporters and has been asked the most questions during the interview. The most common ones are about the selection of the Footballer. Everyone is concerned about whether he can win the World Footballer.
And in such a fierce competition, will the friendship between him and C. Ronaldo be affected?
This is not an unscrupulous worry. In the 2005 World Footballer selection, two players from Barcelona, Ronaldinho and Etoo were selected into the final three-person candidate list. In the end, Ronaldinho won the World Footballer for the rest of the time. At that time, his teammate Etoo was very dissatisfied with this result. He once publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Ronaldinho's award, believing that Ronaldinho was too arrogant and arrogant.
Of course, although Etoo denied that he said this later, and Barcelona also handled the matter in a low-key manner, it still caused turmoil in Barcelona's locker room. Later, Etoo eventually left Barcelona, which was because Guardiola did not like him, and also because he had a bad relationship with him in Barcelona.
c. Ronaldo is a very arrogant person. He always thinks he is the best. He has not been selected as the World Footballer for two years. If this third time is stolen by someone else, will he have any ideas?
Will this affect his relationship with Chu Zhongtian, and further affect the unity in the dressing room of Real Madrid Club? The current dressing room is strongly unified by Mourinho, and it is a whole, but everyone knows that Real Madrid's dressing room cannot be stable for a long time, and the relationship between Chu Zhongtian and C. Ronaldo may become a time bomb.
Chu Zhongtian is the core of Real Madrid's midfield, and C. Ronaldo is the number one star. If these two people have any conflicts, it will definitely be a big blow to Mourinho, who is ambitiously establishing a dynasty.
The Catalan media are constantly hyping up this possibility, and it seems that they can tell them what they didn't have.
Will this really happen?
