ball at foot

After defeating Porto 5-1 at home, Real Madrid retracted their tentacles into the league.Now Real Madrid is no longer worried that Porto will be able to shake the sky when they are away. Therefore, they have used their full strength in the league games.

However, at this time, they also encountered a little trouble.

After defeating Villarreal at home, in the away game against Tenerife, Real Madrid capsized in the gutter and failed to win the game.

"We have played a little too smoothly recently, and a draw is good for us." Ancelotti was not too harsh on this, "Barcelona also just won a draw, and we are still ahead of them. For two points, there is no need to worry about anything. We also need to calm down now, think about it, and then play the game."

A draw with Tenerife is not a big problem, and it may be a good thing to expose the team's long-standing pride and complacency.After all, the current Real Madrid can be said to be proud of football.The Premier League is gradually declining, Serie A is no longer strong, the Bundesliga and Ligue [-] are now even worse, and the only competition in La Liga is the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona. Such a situation can easily breed complacency. [

In the face of this kind of emotion, it is not a bad thing to lose a game at an appropriate time to clear everyone's minds.

After adjusting, Real Madrid immediately gathered strength and aimed at the next game.Before going to the Dragon Stadium in Porto, they first bloodbathed Sevilla 4-0 as a rehearsal, and then they went to Porto to play.

And on the plane, Pepe, who was a former Porto player, was still telling everyone about some interesting things about Porto.

"Actually, Porto and Benfica are equivalent to Spain's Real Madrid and Barcelona. They belong to the kind of team that is covered by the government and will not go bankrupt." Speaking of Porto's match-fixing case in the past two years, Pepe is also the same Said, "For them, it is impossible for them to be relegated due to match-fixing. The forces behind them are different. Your country, whose capital team, or the government with great influence Background team, possible relegation?"

His question made Zhao Yaning think about it. It is true that after the match-fixing case in China came out, there was a lot of trouble, and it turned out that some little foxes were unlucky?Isn't it true that the team with the most public outrage is because it is backed by the government, and there is nothing wrong with it?Moreover, don't talk about them, just say that the team in my hometown is backed by a national enterprise. If something happens, isn't it painless?

"However, Porto is so rich, so it's not like they don't have money." Regarding this, Zhao Yaning also said, "Porto must have a lot of money after running a black shop for so many years, right?"

"Every black shop in European football is dangling on the verge of bankruptcy." Raul answered this question, "It seems that they make a lot of money from a transaction, but in fact, the investment behind it is quite large. .Teams like Benfica and Porto don’t have 1000 million a year on the scouting network, and they have to throw in a lot of money for their youth training. They made a lot of money, but in fact, they were all on the verge of bankruptcy."

"Won't the government subsidize them?" Zhao Yaning asked.

"The Portuguese government is so poor that it's almost impossible to get rid of it. Now, they buy a house in Portugal and apply for Portuguese citizenship. In fact, Spain is similar. Speaking of which, everyone has rumored that if Spain can't win the World Cup this time , the Spanish economy will collapse completely, it’s no joke.”

Regarding this, Zhao Yaning didn't say anything. He had seen how lazy the Spaniards were before, and he found it strange that these guys were not bankrupt.

"Speaking of which, it seems that some Chinese companies have invested in Portuguese football clubs." Pepe suddenly remembered something, "There is also Brazil, which seems to have Chinese companies naming football stadiums."

"It's not just the Portuguese Super League and the Brazilian Liga. There are also many teams in La Liga who are contacting and wanting to do business with Chinese teams. Villarreal and the others are all thinking of selling their chest ads to Chinese."

Guti also said a few words.

This is true.

For things like chest advertisements, some teams sell them extremely expensively, while others can't collect the money.Real Madrid can sell chest ads for more than 2000 million, and Manchester United is almost the same price, but teams like Malaga and Sporting Gijon can sell chest ads for 100 million, and there are even La Liga football teams. Team, the chest advertisement is the boss's private ham company, advertising for the boss.

Therefore, now, when Chinese capital is pouring into European football in large quantities, these places that cost less money will be captured first.

Zhao Yaning is very happy about this.Their investment is all about influence, but in the final analysis, no matter how influential the La Liga and Premier League teams are, they will not feel closer to their hometown players.When these investors realize that investing in them is not as good as investing in Chinese football, Chinese football can definitely continue to take off.Guangzhou people have made a good start, and this road can go a long way.

"Maybe 20 years from now, Spain and Portugal will both be training grounds for Chinese football." Will it get better?"

----------------------[

In the away game against Porto, Real Madrid won easily and happily.Although Porto still tried to resist, but when they discovered that Real Madrid had prepared all their changes, they quickly surrendered.

After all, Boas is too young, and his experience is still a lot worse. The 33-year-old coach, who is about the same age as Raúl, can't compare with Ancelotti's old fritters trained in Serie A in terms of tactical experience. In this game, Ancelotti made a corresponding response. Arrangement, he can do anything.

Zhao Yaning in the middle almost crushed the opposing Fernando, which made Porto’s defense collapse in less than 20 minutes.And Real Madrid made a slight change, allowing Pepe and Ramos to serve as defenders at the same time. The two defenders with excellent marking ability also allowed Falcao to do almost everything in the game, and was strangled by Real Madrid.

The result of the game is naturally a big victory for Real Madrid.Zhao Yaning scored a goal, assisted Ramos from a corner kick, and then Yaya Toure scored the team's third goal to seal a 3-0 victory for the team. , It also allowed Real Madrid to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a total score of 8-1.

And soon, the quarter-finals of the Champions League will all be announced.In addition to Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Inter Milan and several other powerful teams have also qualified.But what is surprising is that Milan, Arsenal, and Chelsea were all eliminated one after another. On the contrary, the two Ligue [-] teams, Bordeaux and Lyon, both advanced.

Such a result, in fact, is not surprising if you think about it carefully.

Although Lyon is not considered a super giant, it can be regarded as a member of the traditional giants.This summer, after selling Benzema, they spent 500 million yuan on signings in one go, and naturally they achieved good results.They were originally the kind of teams that worry about the top [-], and the top eight depends on luck. This time the luck is good, and it is normal to appear.

Under the leadership of Marshal Blanco, Bordeaux did play well: the former French central defender played offensive football. In the group stage, Bordeaux, Bayern and Juventus were divided into a group. It is still a group of death, but they double-killed Bayern, beat Juventus, and locked the qualifying places in advance, forcing Bayern to beat Juventus away in the last round of the group stage. Juventus with Harvey Alonso Tus defeated Bayern Munich at home, pushing Bayern out of the Champions League, and reached the quarter-finals in the knockout rounds. Bordeaux is stronger than them. Naturally, it is not a surprise to advance.

And Chelsea unfortunately met Inter Milan. Mourinho is too familiar with his old disciples. He did a lot of psychological warfare before the game, and the arrangements during the game were also aimed at weaknesses.And the coach Mancini that Chelsea replaced this season is really not a material for playing in the Champions League. The team under his presidency will inevitably play the Champions League with soft feet. It has almost become his unique attribute. It is not surprising that he was eliminated by Inter Milan.

Unfortunately, Arsenal drew Barcelona in the first round.Although they beat Barcelona 2-1 at home, they played in a mess when they arrived at the away game.In this away game, Arsenal didn't have a single chance to score and lost directly.

This game is also full of controversy like many games in Barcelona: In fact, speaking of it, Arsenal has its own mistakes: Wenger does not know what is wrong, suddenly wants to rely on shrinking to keep the tie, the trend of tactical design Being conservative is not a way of playing that wants to win.And his team was indeed taken care of in the first round. Messi's away goal was considered offside by the referee.However, even so, this game at Camp Nou was played enough to make people feel nonsense.Arsenal's main center Van Persie received a yellow card for his counterattack after being locked by Abidal, and because he continued to shoot after the whistle, two yellows turned into one red. This is probably the most bizarre red card.And Cesc Fabregas made a heel clearance in front of his penalty area and sent it to Harvey by mistake, giving Barcelona the first assist. Then, Arsenal's main goalkeeper was kicked and left the field. The substitute goalkeeper was injured again shortly after playing, but Barcelona choked the throat and injured a lot of people, but only got a yellow card in total. The whistleblowing of this game is really something to say.

After the game, Wenger and Guardiola also quarreled extremely enthusiastically. Guardiola even said directly that "La Masia is full of players of Wilshere's level", which made Wenger extremely angry.

It seems that offending Platini is really no good.Thinking of the rumored grievances between Wenger and Platini, Zhao Yaning could only smile wryly.

Fortunately, the current Real Madrid probably won't be affected by the sound of the whistle.This is too important for Real Madrid.

At this time, the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals has also been drawn, and looking at the drawn teams, Zhao Yaning can't tell whether he is happy or unhappy.

Real Madrid has drawn Liverpool, and Zhao Yaning is about to face his old club.

-------------------------

ps: The game between the Gunners and Barcelona was not this year, but it was indeed dark.In fact, Wenger used the wrong idea, there is absolutely no need to whistle like that...

In addition, I made some changes according to the situation in the book. Mancini went to Chelsea, but was eliminated, because Prandelli went to Milan, so Florence did not qualify. I hope readers can accept it.And Alonso went to Juventus, squeezed Bayern to the third place in the group and went to the group stage that year. Bordeaux is indeed a very abnormal existence.
