Ultimate Demon Sword

Chapter 206 Madrid Derby

After the match against Serbia, the Chinese team went north to Chongqing the next day to prepare for the second warm-up match against South American powerhouse Colombia.

Facing the strong Serbia, Liang Xin was naturally in a good mood to score the first goal of the national team.Confidence was a little overwhelming. After arriving in Chongqing, he saw from the news headlines that James Rodriguez, Colombia's number one star, did not come to Chongqing with the team. He curled his mouth and said to Wen Zhihao: "Fuck, Ronaldo didn't come! I wanted to compete with him, it's boring."

Wen Zhihao said as if he was very experienced: "In this period of time, for this kind of warm-up game, there are quite a few big names absent. Everyone will focus on the club's competition. Those with injuries like Ronaldo are even more legitimately absent."

Liang Xin nodded if he realized something, and then said to Wen Zhihao: "Doesn't that mean that our wrists are not big enough? The national team was called up and ran thousands of kilometers back... Well, maybe I can learn from it in the future. To be honest, I don't want to play a warm-up match either."

Wen Zhihao rolled his eyes at him, with a "child, you're too naive" expression, and replied: "Just think about unreliable things, wait until you get there. Just be yourself. Next year's World Cup will definitely satisfy your desire to compete with top big names. I hope you won't doubt your life on the spot."

Liang Xin was so choked that he didn't know what to say, but he was very unconvinced by Wen Zhihao's statement in his heart. Although I am not as good as you for the time being, I am also the main defensive midfielder of the Eredivisie championship team. Apart from those bugs who are capable of competing for the Ballon d'Or, I will not be powerless against others, right?

Liang Xin's self-confidence is not without confidence. The reason why he can secure his position as the main midfielder in PSV Eindhoven is due to his superior defensive prediction and position selection ability in the Eredivisie.You must know that the selection and prediction of the midfield defense will test the ball quotient of the midfielder, and Liang Xin's ability to become a skilled defensive barrier at a young age is a good example of his ball quotient.

In fact, since the first day Liang Xin was transformed into a defensive midfielder, Eindhoven coach Cocu emphasized to Liang Xin the defensive essentials of midfielders: midfielders are the most typical mental workers on the pitch, and they must learn to play smarter on both offense and defense.

Cocu is a famous Dutch football midfielder. His words are naturally of great value to the fledgling Liang Xin. Liang Xin can really listen to it. Last season, he averaged 9.8 interceptions per game and became the top stealer in the Eredivisie. Because Huo Wen's number of goals conceded will be completely unsightly, and the number one in the league is even more unthinkable.

French football star Makelele has a famous saying: Attack protects the ball and defends to protect space.Liang Xin is best at pressing the offensive space of the ball holder. The Dutch media also called him "Makelele 2.0 Mini Upgraded Version" because he is 1.7 meters tall and taller than Makelele. At the same time, his offensive ability is not possessed by Makelele.Makelele is more like a specialist in midfield defense, while the Dutch media believes that Liang Xin is more likely to become an enhanced version with an offensive skill set.

Perhaps because of living under the spotlight in the Netherlands, Liang Xin subconsciously felt that even if he was a little worse than the world's top-notch attackers, it was only by a hair's breadth. The only people he was really afraid of were those top superstars who had won or were very likely to win the Ballon d'Or in the future.

But is that really it?

There is a saying that fantasies are meant to be broken...

Liang Xin quickly realized how powerless it was for his teammates to make up for it in the midfield without the awareness of defensive positioning.Even though he spared no effort to run back and forth in the midfield, facing the strong and elegant South American players, the midfield was almost out of control.Colombia took the lead in the opening 4 minutes. In the second half, they took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese team to overwhelm and scored three goals in a row. In 10 minutes, the score was locked at 4:0.

When the whole team disbanded at the airport, Wen Zhihao said to Liang Xin in a prescient tone: "Failure is not terrible, at least you should know that you can't underestimate any opponent. Okay, go back and practice hard. I don't want to see your depressed expression during the World Cup, making me feel bad."

……

The FIFA match day was over, and Wen Zhihao arrived at the Atletico Madrid training center at noon the next day.All the recruited international players also returned to the club one after another, and Simeone began to sprint to prepare for the No.12 round of La Liga and the heavyweight matchup against Real Madrid at home.

The first Madrid derby of the season.It is also the focus battle that has attracted the most attention this round.A week before the game, the warm-up and preview of the game in the entire Madrid and even the Spanish media has already started.

The Madrid derby is not the top derby.In terms of level, it is not as good as Real Madrid and Barcelona's Spanish national derby.In terms of the grievances of the fans and the popularity of the scene, it is far from the Ruhr Derby in the Bundesliga, and it is not even comparable to the Argentine national derby between Boca Juniors and River Plate on the South American continent.At least from the perspective of fans and the media, there are not many off-field tidbits to render.It is only because of Atletico Madrid's strong rise in recent years, especially in the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League final, that they had a highly anticipated matchup with Real Madrid, which made the contest between the two teams attract widespread attention again.

In addition to the diehard media like "Marca", most media and industry experts are more optimistic that Atletico Madrid can take advantage of the home court to retreat.The reason is very straightforward. The two teams meet at this time period. The worst Real Madrid meets the best Atletico Madrid. The psychological advantage brought by historical records is not a panacea.

It was also the first time for Wen Zhihao to experience the atmosphere before the Derby. The madness of the media completely caught him by surprise.It was the first time he saw that because of his own words, the media of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid choked each other on the spot.He could only smile wryly, unable to understand the reporter's brain circuit at all.

As an Atletico Madrid player, what's wrong with expressing your determination to help the team win the opponent with all their strength at home?In order to take care of the emotions of individual media, you can't say against your will that "the two teams don't hurt each other, it's best to shake hands and make peace", right?
Unless you don't want to be in Atletico Madrid, the fans' saliva can drown themselves.

So for the first time to participate in the Madrid derby, is there anything special to look forward to?Many journalists, especially Chinese journalists, want to know this question most.

Wen Zhihao's answer did not disappoint them: "Of course! I will try my best to pay tribute to Ronaldo!"

No matter how shocked the media are, Wen Zhihao thinks that Ronaldo's realm is the highest pursuit of a professional football player.He became famous when he was young, and he is handsome and good at football.Both individual and collective honors have reached the top level.It’s hard to say whether my career can reach the height of Ronaldo in the future, but in terms of personal appearance, although Ronaldo is recognized as another handsome superstar after Beckham, Wen Zhihao believes that he has the perfect inheritance from his parents. In the future... no, maybe his appearance is no worse than Ronaldo now!
