The Ball at Your Feet

Episode 813

Updated: 2013-10-08

Although I have been looking forward to having good luck, but such luck still surprised Zhao Yaning.

"There is only one team that can draw a team outside of the Premier League, so we can get it? What luck..."

The draw for the Champions League is quite interesting this year. Liverpool drew Chelsea-their old friends, it is strange that they are not arranged by UEFA. And Arsenal was drawn to Lyon-Wenger against the French team, think about it is also a highlight. And Manchester United was lucky this time, drew Schalke 04. In the quarterfinals, Manchester United played the most favored and least favored Schalke 04. The game has not yet started. What is the result? Basically, everyone Can also be guessed.

"If the opponent is Inter Milan, it shouldn't be difficult..."

Although Inter Milan is now the ruler of Serie A, and they only lost one game last season, speaking of dominance, it is stronger than the other giants in the league. However, Zhao Yaning has always felt that Italy's boss is Juventus, followed by Milan. Compared with these two teams, Inter Milan's strength is still much weaker.

But this is just thinking about it. Zhao Yaning also understands that no one has a clean hand if he can secure the position of the boss in a league. Regardless of the Mann contact, the Holy Alliance, or the battle for the prefix of the FC Barcelona Real Madrid, no one is very clean, but if you want to truly take a firm position, you still have to rely on strength. In this regard, although Inter Milan is relying on the downturn of Juventus and Milan behind the phone door, but able to squeeze Roma and hold the boss, their strength really cannot be ignored. Although their players are one grade worse than Real Madrid, they are not worse when it comes to their strength. It's just that they are indeed a bit inferior to the Premier League teams. Therefore, Zhao Yaning has some contempt for them.

But if you think about it, this is really a pretty good opponent: the reputation is big enough that the players will not be distracted from playing well. But the strength is not strong enough to make the players feel desperate after hearing the name. This kind of team that is not good enough to play may lose and can be defeated with one effort is now perfect for Real Madrid. It is better to meet them than to meet anyone.

"Inter Milan is a giant team, we can't take it lightly. Don't always think that their players are something we don't like, just despise them. After all, their strength is still there." In the dressing room, Raul is also instructing everyone.

In Inter Milan, Samuel and Cambiasso were both players who were eliminated in Real Madrid that year. They could not adapt to Real Madrid and chose to go to Serie A. Another player, Ibrahimovic, volunteered to join Real Madrid when Juventus was downgraded in 2006. But Real Madrid looked down on him at the time, and his agent was too greedy, and the deal was not successful. Therefore, when Raul speaks of Inter Milan, his words are not very respectful.

However, he also understands that different leagues make different players. Samuel's failure to play in La Liga is a matter of style, but in Serie A, he is the best defender. Cambiasso didn’t have a chance at Real Madrid. It was Real Madrid’s wonderful midfielder combination of Guti and Beckham at the time. After arriving at Inter Milan, Inter Milan spent a season looking for him to find his status and confidence. Now he It's not what it used to be. The opponents are worse than Real Madrid, but if they think they will win, it is bad.

However, the game was not difficult after all. Several people joked and laughed, and Guti quickly summarized the game, "Speaking of it, it won’t be too bad. Schalke 04 leans on one A genius goalkeeper can advance to the quarterfinals. No matter how talented he is, he can still be comparable to our Ikar? Even if we are worse, with Ikar, we can play well, and we have so many big names. Stars, you won't lose to them, right?"

These words just made Cassie smile, and didn't say much.

Cassie is indeed a very lucky person. His path of fortune can be said to be legendary: in 2002, he just became Real Madrid's substitute goalkeeper, but in the Champions League final, Real Madrid's substitute goalkeeper Cesar was injured. , Allowing him to play in the game-three key saves, let him become famous in one fell swoop. Then, in the World Cup, Canizares, who was supposed to be the main goalkeeper, stepped on the perfume bottle while taking a bath and was injured. At the age of 20, he just entered the national team and became the main goalkeeper.

Then, during Real Madrid's Galaxy battleship, the frontcourt was brilliant, and the backcourt was as hopeless as a black hole. As the godfather of Barcelona, ​​Cruyff was remembered by the world with some sour slogans, which made people quickly form an idea: Real Madrid play football, rely on Ronnie in front, and rely on Cassie in the back. And this kind of propaganda has made his fame continue to rise. He doesn't have much gold gloves, but one of the world's three great generals is firmly established.

It wasn't until last season that Capello dared to publicly reprimand him for having problems with his goalkeeping habits. And this season, after Zhao Yaning came, when training free kicks, he discovered that his positioning and defense were seriously inadequate. However, Cassie has luck-Capello's handsome man has reversed his character problems, and now, Zhao Yaning is helping him train defensive set kicks. Such luck is also hard to find.

Strictly speaking, Casillas is not a highly talented goalkeeper: after all, Casillas's height is not enough. He was 180 when he debuted. It is good to be placed in the pile of ordinary people, and he is considered a big man among the players. But in goalkeepers, it's a problem. Although his height has grown in the past two years and reached m, it is still not high. Anti-ball is a permanent pain point, and the defense of set-pieces also has an impact on it. Generally speaking, top goalkeepers seem to be taller than Casillas. Buffon and Cech are tall goalkeepers. They do not have such injuries and fatal shortcomings. It is undeniable that Casillas is not as talented as them. fact. However, Zhao Yaning also believes that Casillas is now the top three in the world, and can even compete for the first place: Cech is already unstable after being seriously injured, and Buffon is now beginning to appear. Regarding injury issues, the goalkeeper's first priority is stability. A goalkeeper without stability can't be regarded as a good goalkeeper. From this perspective, Casillas is already the world's number one. .

If someone can rely on a good goalkeeper to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, then Real Madrid may also rely on Casillas to go further. He is an extremely important link for Real Madrid, and it can even be said to be a source of confidence. This is undeniable.

That being the case, then, what else to be afraid of? In this game, Real Madrid is also full of confidence.

And then, in the league, Real Madrid's opponent is Sevilla. Although Seville can be regarded as a strong enemy, Real Madrid still ruthlessly ran over them with a very violent 3-1.

During the game, Zhao Yaning continued the work that was not completed in the first half of the season. He was in the right corridor where Alves was in charge, constantly carrying out raids. Alves was responsible for guarding him, but there was no effect at all. If in the first half, he still thought that Alves was inserted into the defense by Zhao Yaning successfully, and he scored a goal or his own strength was not good. In the second half, when Alves faced Zhao Yaning, I have chosen not to intervene, but to defend with all his strength, but Zhao Yaning still broke the defense and scored a goal from his defensive area, which made Alves quite depressed.

"Did you know that you did this, but you made Sevilla a lot of grudges." After the game, Guti was also full of praise for this. "This season, people are going to sell people to Barcelona. After you play it once, the price will go down."

"Then I should go to Barcelona and ask for a gratuity?" Zhao Yaning smiled. "But why did Barcelona remember to buy him?"

"Barça's full-backs have not been very good. You can't always let Puyol play on the wing." Guti replied, "He is still the best choice. Barcelona is estimated to spend 30 million for this."

"Why are there 30 million defenders everywhere in La Liga... I didn't say you, Sergio, don't be so stingy. Barcelona should not be rich than Real Madrid? This time, are they really going to fight?"

"Laporta wants to participate in the elections in the Catalan region. He now hopes that Barcelona will achieve results. Anything owed will be the next chairman's responsibility. What Laporta has to do now is spend tomorrow. The money to buy a reputation for himself.” Raul said to the side, “It doesn’t matter whether they cooperate with UNICEF or buy a lot of people, they are all related to this. It is said that the Catalan region may hold a referendum. In deciding whether to be independent, Laporta wants to become the capital of a country, and he does not want to miss the great opportunity to become the founder of a country. With such interest temptation, he doesn't care about Barcelona's finances."

This made Zhao Yaning a moment of silent mourning for the next Barcelona chairman: Without Real Madrid's ability to attract money, but spending money so wildly, how can they make money in the next term.

However, political reasons also made him sigh: because of this kind of reason, it has disturbed football, not once or twice. The most obvious example: In 2002, FIFA President Blatter had just taken office and his footing was not stable. He was opposed by the Asian, European, and South American Football Confederations. In the fiercest time of the struggle, the Asian Football Association The Football Federation’s Zheng Mengzhun turned to each other and helped Blatter stabilized his position. Then, in the 2002 World Cup, South Korea played all the way to the semi-finals, until it met Germany, because Germany has more power in the more powerful UEFA. Beckenbauer personally called to change the referee ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ only to stop South Korea's victory.

In fact, many people did not know a follow-up of the incident: Zheng Mengjun announced before the World Cup that if South Korea enters the World Cup semi-finals, he will participate in the presidential race. At that time, everyone thought it was idiotic dreams, but then his achievements in South Korea made him all of a sudden. It's just that he lost to Roh Moo-hyun in the party's election campaign, which prevented him from becoming president. Otherwise, things would have a greater impact.

Football, as the world's No. 1 sport, a sport, can be related to the change of national leaders. This is also the charm that other sports can't match anyway.

The same situation is now in Barcelona. Laporta wants to become the leader of Catalonia, and then lead the independence of the region and become the founder of the country. What does it cost to spend some loan money? The big deal is that the club went bankrupt and sold. Even if the membership system for a team like Barcelona is abolished, shouldn't they worry about not being able to find a rich person to take over?

"Furthermore, they have to buy people now. Otherwise, if such results come for another season, then Laporta can just resign."

This season, Barcelona was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and in the league, the points difference is getting bigger and bigger. After the end of the Champions League, they have completely fallen into the rhythm of a crash. Now they have not won in two rounds, let alone score points with Real Madrid, even Villarreal surpassed them and ranked second. Rijkaard's get out of class is about to end, and now Barcelona has been driven to the ground by wind and rain.

"So, this season, our only problem is to win the championship a few rounds in advance." Zhao Yaning also smiled at this. "Then, let's wait and see and see how far we will go this season."
