Chapter 232 Real Madrid

Real Madrid, as the greatest football club of the twentieth century, when the turn of the new century, as the chairman of Real Madrid, real estate tycoon Pérez Florentino adopted the big purchase of already famous world-class football The star's approach is to construct a star-studded "galactic battleship."

Look at the string of star-studded names, excluding Casillas and Raul, who were cultivated by the club itself, the leaders of Portugal's "golden generation", who created the world's transfer fee record at the time, in July 2000 , transferred from Barcelona to Real Madrid for $7 million.

Zidane, the core player of the French national team, transferred from Juventus to Real Madrid in July 2001. The transfer fee broke the record of Figo last summer and became the world's largest transfer fee at that time with US$7 million. First.

Ronaldo, not the Portuguese superstar C-Ronaldo of Real Madrid, but indeed the childhood idol of many active stars, the Brazilian "alien." In the 2002 summer transfer window The closing moment, from Inter Milan to Real Madrid for $4400 million.

David Beckham, in June 2003, transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 6 million euros.So far, the Real Madrid team has won over the seven superstars in world football at that time, although Roberto Carlos joined the Real Madrid team early, and has not won any personal world-level honors.However, who has held the throne of the world's number one left-back for a long time, who dares to say that Roberto Carlos is not a superstar.

Therefore, the Real Madrid team at that time, under the "operation" of the chairman Perez Florentino, seemed to be playing a football game, gathering seven of the most famous football stars in the world at the same time. under the club name.And such a Real Madrid team has won many championships, leagues, and Champions Leagues.

At that time, prosperity must decline, and when these players joined Real Madrid, although they were all in the golden period of their careers, after a few years, the inevitable state and physical fitness gradually declined.Coupled with the high wages provided for these superstars, it also caused the team's internal salary status to be unstable.

In the end, the Real Madrid team, which has seven superstars, collapsed in the league and cup competitions.In the end, it also led to the gradual departure of these seven superstars from Real Madrid one by one.But it is undeniable that such a Real Madrid team has a huge impact on fans all over the world.

This approach has led to the fact that for these players who have grown into the mainstay of today's world football, it is taken for granted that "the best players should go to Real Madrid, and only by going to Real Madrid can they prove that they are the best players in the world." top football star."

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why C-Ronaldo, who has already won a lot of honors in Manchester United, insisted on going to Real Madrid, so that he did not hesitate to train him from a young Portuguese kid who liked to play tricks to a world-famous player at that time. The relationship between Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United's best offensive player broke down.And would have Sir Alex Ferguson even say:
"I'm not going to sell a word like that to Real Madrid for a single virus."

However, the current Real Madrid team, although the chairman is still Perez - Florentino.However, after experiencing rest or reflection during the Calderon period, Florentino gradually thought about his own way.Therefore, the current Real Madrid team, from the beginning of Florentino's second term as chairman, will not implement the ideas of his first time as chairman. "Zidane and Pavon."

Arbeloa, Harvey Alonso, Raul Albiol, Pepe, etc., the names of defensive players, were brought to the Bernabéu by Florentino at a high price. Of course, Kaka was brought from AC Milan for 6500 million euros, C-Ronaldo was bought for 9600 million euros, and Bell was bought from Tottenham for 9100 million euros.Others As for Benzema, he was bought from Lyon for 3500 million euros.After the World Cup in Brazil, they bought Colombian star James Rodriguez for 8000 million euros and Toni Kroos for 3000 million euros.It's also not cheap.

But although Florentino became the chairman of Real Madrid for the second time, he also spent huge sums of money to buy players.But unlike his first time as chairman, these players are undoubtedly younger and more eager for victory and championships.

Therefore, now Victor and the Juventus he plays for are facing this Real Madrid team, which is the defending champion of the Champions League last season.

Therefore, although Juventus has already won the Serie A championship in advance, and it is still an astonishing four consecutive championships.In the Spanish arena, Real Madrid is still struggling with Barcelona in the standings.However, before the game, almost all football media and ball critics, if they were asked to express a position, most of them would think so.

"Juventus are a quality team, but they can only cause problems for Real Madrid."

Before the draw for the semi-finals of the Champions League, there was even a cartoon depicting Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich as three gluttonous eaters, while Juventus was drawn as a delicious steak on the table.

For the Juventus players, this is even more displeased.Everyone is the same professional player, and it doesn't mean that their own strength is worse than the players who play for these three teams.Why is it that Juventus can only become a stepping stone under the feet of Real Madrid.What's more, the clay figurines are still three-point fire.

Therefore, even if the relationship between Victor and C-Ronaldo is very good, before this game, Victor did not give any call to Real Madrid's current head star, C-Ronaldo, who came to Turin for pre-match training. Or a text message inviting you to dinner.

And just on the day of the game, in the player channel, Victor, who was wearing the Juventus No. 10 jersey, found C-Ronaldo, who was wearing the Real Madrid No. 7 jersey.Both numbers are legendary numbers for their respective clubs.

After the two embraced together, Victor smiled in C-Ronaldo's ear and said:

"Chris, welcome to Alpi." However, Victor spoke in Italian at this time.

"Welcome to the Italian channel of Sky TV to bring you this season's UEFA Champions League semi-final, this is the first leg of the Juventus-Real Madrid match, at the home of Juventus, the Alpe de la Turin. Stadium. I'm Gentile."

"I'm Marchegiani."

The partner of Gentili and Marchegiani must be on the spot to explain this heavyweight game. As for the other side, the contest between Barcelona and Bayern Munich will be a day later.

"Now let's introduce the starting lineups of both sides," Gentili said first:
"For the home team Juventus, coach Allegri continued to use the 4-3-1-2 that has now become a common formation for Juventus, and this game is also the main force. The goalkeeper is 1 No. Buffon, the defense is still the partner of No. 26 Lisi Steiner, No. 19 Bonucci, No. 3 Chiellini and No. 33 Evra.

In terms of midfield, No. 27 Sturaro has shown in front of Allegri in recent games that he can replace Pogba when he is injured. Therefore, Allegri will also use Sturaro placed in the starting lineup.In addition to Marchisio No. 8, his partner was questioned by some critics and the media before, but in the end it was proved that it was nothing more than the eye-catching words of these critics and media. No. Pirlo.

The position of the midfielder is still No. 23 Vidal.However, Vidal still has to provide protection for Pirlo during the game.On the front line, Allegri made an adjustment.Let No. 9 Tevez sit on the bench, and No. 10 Victor is actually No. 24, a Real Madrid youth player, No. 24 Morata. "

Then, Gentile said jokingly:

"I don't know if Morata will kill his old owner in this game. After all, before him, there are many players who left the Real Madrid team. When facing their old owner, Real Madrid, they all With their own goals 'sentenced' Real Madrid's 'death.' Such as Morientes, Eto'o.

But from this aspect, it can also be seen that Real Madrid's youth training ability is indeed very commendable in the entire European continent, no less than some teams known for their youth training. "

After Gentile finished his joke-like words, he immediately re-opened and continued to introduce:

"As for the head coach of the away team, Real Madrid, who is also an Italian tactician, Carlo Ancelotti chose a 4-4-2 position.

The goalkeeper is No. 1 Iker Casillas.He can be said to be the banner figure of the current Real Madrid team, but since Mourinho took over, due to some things, he has gradually lost his original stable position.Although the head coach has now been replaced by Ancelotti, Casillas will not return to his previous status.

On the defensive line, the left back is No. 12 Marcelo, the two central defenders are No. 3 Pepe and No. 2 Varane, and the right back is No. 15 Carvajal.

In the midfield, No. 10 James Rodriguez serves as the left back, and No. 23 Isco is the right back.The two central midfielders are No. 4 Sergio Ramos and No. 8 Klose.

On the front line, this can be regarded as '2 million flying together,' No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo and No. 11 Gareth Bale.The head coach of this game is Atkinson from England.For many Real Madrid players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Bell on the front line, this is an old acquaintance. "
