Can make Real Madrid feel nervous team.In La Liga, I am afraid that there is only Barcelona team.

In the previous year's game, Barcelona beat Real Madrid to win the league title.In the two derbies, they had one win and one loss with Real Madrid, and the battle ended in a draw.In the final stages of the season, they lost [-]-[-] to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.Today, they are coming for revenge.

In their team, there is also the Brazilian Ronaldo, the successor of the world champion.In the past year, he has dominated the international football arena with a strong limelight.

In addition to him, the young Messi who won the best player in the World Youth Championship is also very eye-catching.This player was praised by Maradona as the successor of the new ball champion.

"Okay, Zhou Xing." In the player tunnel, Ronaldo, who was regarded as his brother from the same school, greeted Zhou Xing in a friendly manner.The Brazilian also played for Zhou Xing's Corinthians club.

"Hello." Seeing his legendary senior brother, Zhou Xing greeted Ronaldinho shyly.His brother's performance in La Liga has always impressed him very much.

Excellent technique, strong body, coupled with excellent positioning skills, has firmly stabilized the core position of the club.In the two years since he came to La Liga, he has led Barcelona to become the league champion team.His excellent skills, clever breakthroughs, coupled with his own pigtails, bright smile and celebratory gestures, have made him a superstar.

Seeing Ronaldinho talking to himself, Zhou Xing still felt some inexplicable tension in his heart.It is an honor in itself to play against the best players in the world.

"Haha, you're quite shy. Little brother, I heard that you have good skills. I want to see your performance during the game. Also, you have to leave the jersey to me when the time comes." Looking young Zhou Xing, Ronaldinho greeted him with a smile, jokingly, with his signature smile on his face.

"Well, I will try my best." In front of him, Zhou Xing was still very humble.Facing this senior brother with excellent skills, he couldn't help but have a kind of respect in his heart.

This respect is written on his face and also reflected in his actions.However, this is not worship, it is just out of admiration.At Zhou Xing's age, not many people admire him.

In football, he never said that he has a special heart for any star.For him, each star is just a redeeming feature.What he needs to do is to learn the strengths of his opponent and then surpass him.

He's still young and still has a lot to learn.What he needs now is to hone in game after game and learn experience.For him, there is no unsurmountable mountain.

Now he may not be as good as those famous stars.But he's growing, every day, every moment.One day, he will surpass these people, all these people.

All he needs to do is try to play every game well.

"I must perform well!" Zhou Xing looked at Ronaldinho's figure and said in his heart.He also knows that such an important game can best improve people's skills and experience.

"It's nothing, just play hard, don't be nervous." Seeing Zhou Xing in a daze at the side of the player tunnel, Ronaldo who walked by him thought he was a little nervous, and quickly comforted him.

"Well, I'm not nervous at all!" Zhou Xing replied with a smile.At this moment, he really wasn't nervous at all.In his heart, there is only excitement and excitement.It is a wonderful thing for him to be able to participate in such a level of competition.

"That's good, I thought you were nervous!" Ronaldo smiled, put Zhou Xing's shoulder affectionately, and walked out of the player tunnel.

When Zhou Xing and other players walked into the Bernabéu stadium, he felt a wave of cheers like a landslide and tsunami.Huge cheers and full audience stands gave him a strong shock.

"Wow, this is called Derby!"

The atmosphere on the court today is different from any previous game. "Whoever you lose to, you can't lose to Barcelona." This is the consensus of all Real Madrid fans.In turn, the same thing for Barcelona fans.These two teams are born to be sworn enemies, and they have too many unexplainable grievances mixed in.

Amid cheers from the audience, players from both teams began shaking hands.After that, the captains of the two teams will guess first to decide who will kick off first.

"Character!"

"back!"

As Raul and Puyol said the direction of the coin they chose, the national derby officially began.As a result, Real Madrid won the right to kick-off, and Barcelona won the right to pick a side.

Before the game started, there were some small episodes on the field.Surrounded by security guards, a male fan ran into the field, intending to perform the "Jimmy Jump", which became popular after the European Cup.However, he was soon taken away by security guards.His messing up the situation still dilutes some of the tension in the game.Seeing this, all the superstars on the field smiled.

"Now people want to be famous like crazy. Alas, can't figure them out." Raul lamented, pointing to the crazy fan.He didn't understand why fans who usually look very elegant like to put on funny scenes on the court.

"I don't understand either. These days, many things can't be explained." Zhou Xing also shook his head and sighed, remembering the popularity of super girls in China he saw when he returned to China.

"Forget it, forget it, let's play." Beckham shook his head and smiled at the two.As a celebrity, he knows best the pain of being a celebrity.It's just that these troubles can't be poured out to others.

After the referee's whistle sounded, the national derby officially started.

As soon as the game started, Beckham's long pass caused a lot of noise from the fans, and Valdes confiscated the ball before Zhou Xing.This long pass was a little too big, even though Zhou Xing tried his best to speed up, he couldn't grab the first point.

"Bah!" It was just a little bit short of him being able to play football.But Valdez was the first to hold the ball into his arms.If Zhou Xing kicked again, he would hit Valdes' body.

"Sure enough." Seeing the positive and quick response of the Barcelona goalkeeper, coupled with the timely replacement of their defenders, Zhou Xing really felt a big gap.

Today, defending him is Barcelona captain Puyol.Under the marking of this experienced central defender, Zhou Xing found it difficult to turn around, let alone make a big difference.

In the frontcourt, he didn't get many chances with Ronaldo and Raul's trident.On the contrary, Barcelona played like a duck to water at Real Madrid's home court and played very relaxed.

Especially Barcelona's talented teenager Messi, his performance is very eye-catching.In the 4th minute, Ramos knocked down Messi in front of the penalty area and was awarded a free kick very close to the Real Madrid goal by the referee.The ball was taken by Ronaldinho himself.Seeing this, all the Real Madrid players hurried up to line up the wall.Real Madrid players who have already experienced Ronaldinho's free kick naturally dare not be careless.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!" With the shout of Eto'o from Cameroon, the score on the field was finally rewritten.At this time, on the field, Barcelona took the lead [-]-[-].

Seeing this, the Real Madrid players on the field and the Real Madrid fans in the stands fell silent.At home, they were scored first by their opponents.Such a situation also made them helpless.

On the coach's bench, Luxenberg smiled wryly and helplessly.On the Barcelona side, coach Frank Rijkaard cheered his players loudly, beaming with joy.And in the VIP seats of the stadium, the high-level figures of Real Madrid also frowned tightly, very dissatisfied with Real Madrid's performance.

"It's over, everything is over." Luxenberg's face was serious and his face was ashen.He knows that the initiative of this game has been grasped by the opponent.In the next game, Real Madrid will be very passive.

Perhaps, after this game, it was time for him to dismiss get out of class.A gust of cold wind blew over, Luxenberg shivered from the cold, and huddled tightly into a ball.At this time, his heart was also under intense torment.

After that, the offensive of the two teams fell silent.However, it can be clearly seen that it is the visiting team Barcelona that takes the initiative on the court.
