Chapter 984 Horrifying Mutual Achievements, Preparing for the Madrid Derby

Cristiano Ronaldo also stood up. He tweeted: In my opinion, the 2010 national team belongs to Spain, but football belongs to Dong, and Dong is the only candidate for the Ballon d'Or.

Modric also tweeted: Ballon d'Or, the only one in the world. Only he is qualified to win the 2010 Ballon d'Or.

At Inter Milan, Sneijder also said: Although I also want to win the Ballon d'Or, besides Dong, who else is qualified? I would rather stand behind him and help him watch the trophy. It was an honor to play with him at Inter Milan for a season. It was he who showed me what it means to play football...

Balotelli was even more unkind: Anyone who says Iniesta should win the Ballon d'Or has shit in his head. I've always thought Messi was the scariest player I've ever seen, but I have to reconsider my opinion now, probably from a few years ago. Dong is the player I admire the most in the world. If they don’t give him the Ballon d’Or, I will burn their house down!

Far away in England, Scholes also gave a rare interview: "Oh my God, do we still have to choose? Of course it is Dong, the six-time champion and the third place in the World Cup, and the top scorer of all kinds, almost all by himself. It’s done. You simply can’t imagine that a player can do this, even Maradona and Pele may not be able to do it!”

Chelsea's Terry: "As the captain of England, I even want to vote for the first, second and third positions to the Chinese Dong, if possible."

There are countless players who support Dong Fangzhuo, and there are also many coaches who support Dong Fangzhuo.

Wenger jumped out: "Oh my God, this is the biggest joke I have heard this year. Do you even think about it? It must be a Chinese director."

Ancelotti: "In my coaching career, there are two people who can bring lasting shock to football. One is Ronaldo and the other is Dong."

Of course, there are also those who oppose Dong Fangzhuo, such as Benitez: "Football is not only about skills, but also about character. Iniesta is more suitable."

…

The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.

No, my friend is anxious.

Dong Fangzhuo's friends are complaining about him. Although the voting for the Golden Globe Award has just begun, everyone always has a feeling that the Golden Globe Award already belongs to Iniesta and Dong Fangzhuo is already finished.

However, Dong Fangzhuo himself is not anxious at all. He cannot control the winning or losing of the Ballon d'Or alone. He will not be as anxious as Messi. After all, Messi has not won it yet, and even Ronaldo only has one.

He has two in his hand,

What's the rush?

However, Barcelona now doesn’t even want to lose face...

Amid all this commotion, Real Madrid went on an away league trip.

Mourinho, who has tasted the sweetness of the Champions League, still uses a three-back formation in the away game.

This time Mourinho played more conservatively in the away game, but the team still won 3:0. Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Dong Fangzhuo each scored a goal. The three forwards scored again, and everyone was happy.

But the Spanish media still criticized Mourinho's team a lot. Anyway, Mourinho's way of leading the team makes them unhappy.

Barcelona on the other end also won. Real Madrid has won 5 consecutive league games and ranks first in the league. Barcelona has 4 wins and 1 loss, clinging to Real Madrid.

"No matter what, Real Madrid are now top of the league, three points ahead of second place."

Mourinho did not argue, he only spoke with results.

As long as Real Madrid remains at the top of the standings, he doesn't mind any opposition. If the team plays well and can secure the Real Madrid coaching position, then Pellegrini will not leave Real Madrid, and why does Mourinho need him to take charge.

The winning lineup and style of play do not need to be adjusted. Next, the team will travel to Serbia, where they will face Partizan Belgrade in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

Because the team had already won three consecutive victories in the Champions League, Mourinho chose to rotate in this away game.

Dong Fangzhuo did not enter the starting lineup, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema partnered up front.

Such a piece of information also sent another signal to the gambling company. Real Madrid actually only conceded a half goal in the away game.

The results of the competition also proved that the news from the betting company was very professional.

Real Madrid actually drew 1:1 with Partizan Belgrade in an away game, ending their 9-game winning streak in all competitions since the beginning of the season.

Although Dong Fangzhuo came on the field at the last moment, he did not turn the tide.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid encountered greater difficulties than in the league, but this did not affect their position in the group standings. They still ranked first with ten points and basically confirmed the first place in the group. Back at home, as long as they score a point against Braga, they can qualify first in the group two rounds in advance.

Naturally, the Spanish media would not miss such a good opportunity to step on Mourinho, and the news was bombarded again.

But after returning to the Bernabeu, Real Madrid quickly rebounded. Because they were playing in the Copa del Rey, Mourinho even sent a combination of Jose and Morata. As a result, Real Madrid won 2:0 at home. .

After going to the away game, it was another 3:1, and Real Madrid still easily advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey.

In the following Copa del Rey draw ceremony, Real Madrid drew a different opponent, since it was Valencia.

La Liga's two giant teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​met Valencia and Athletic Bilbao respectively.

Needless to say, Valencia's strength has always been strong. Barcelona's opponent, Athletic Bilbao, is also a tough opponent, which will be a severe test for the two giants.

The first leg of the Copa del Rey 1/8 finals will be played on December 22, local time, and the second leg will be on January 5 next year. In addition, the time for the quarter-finals has also been finalized. The first round will start on January 12, 2011, and the second round will be on January 19; the semi-finals will be held on January 26 and February 3; the final The final was held on April 20, 2011.

According to the analysis of the matchup situation after promotion, if Real Madrid and Barcelona can pass all the way, these two teams will have the opportunity to meet in the final. If Barcelona passes Athletic Bilbao, they will face the winner of Betis and Getafe, while if Real Madrid defeats Levante, they will face the winner of Atletico Madrid and Espanyol.

The official website of the Spanish Football Federation also provides the promotion rules for the competition:

1. The total score of the two home and away rounds will determine the outcome;

2. If the total number of goals scored in the two rounds is the same, the number of away goals will be calculated;

3. If the winner still cannot be determined, overtime will be required to decide the winner again;

4. If there is a tie in overtime, the winner will be determined by penalty kicks.

In addition, the Copa del Rey winner can directly enter the Europa League.

Returning to the league, Real Madrid and Barcelona continue to love each other. They quickly opened the gap with third-place Atletico Madrid in the standings.

After a 9-game winning streak in the league, Real Madrid finally welcomed Atletico Madrid at home.

This will be the first strongest opponent Real Madrid will face this season, and it will also be a game for Real Madrid to test its true combat effectiveness. When Barcelona challenged Atletico Madrid away from home at the beginning of the season, they only won with a score of 2:1, and they played very hard in that game. Now it is finally Real Madrid's turn.

Naturally, Barcelona also hopes that Atletico Madrid can attack Real Madrid. If Atletico Madrid can draw in the away game or win against Real Madrid, then Barcelona can close the points gap with Real Madrid.

If they can successfully close the distance in this round, the direct confrontation between the two sides in the 13th round will be even more intense.

The two teams compete directly in the league, and the core figures of the two teams are also competing.

With 15 goals in 9 games, Messi leads the Champions League scorer list, while Ronaldo continues to lead the scorer list.

Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring performance not only surpassed Eto'o and Tevez, who only scored 7 goals in the same period, but also surpassed the Bundesliga's Jekas (9 goals in 10 games). Currently, only Miller of the Scottish League (16 goals in 10 games) exceeds Ronaldo, but the competitiveness of the two leagues is simply not the same. Especially in the crazy month of October, Ronaldo scored 10 goals in 4 La Liga games, setting his highest scoring record in a single month.

Last season, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 40 goals in 37 appearances in La Liga. So far this season, he has been close to half in only 9 games, and his efficiency has been greatly improved. According to this scoring speed, Ronaldo may even increase the number of league goals to more than 48 - in the history of the five major leagues, only Aston Villa's Wallin in the 1930/31 season has scored 49 goals in a single season. best result.

The biggest credit for Ronaldo's ability to score so many goals is of course Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo only scored 7 goals in 9 games, but his assists reached 10, and 9 of these 10 assists were contributed to Ronaldo.

The number of assists that Messi has always been proud of was easily crushed by Dong Fangzhuo...

Dong Fangzhuo is obviously now Ronaldo's green leaf, or it may be related to Dong Fangzhuo's position on the field. More often, he plays the role of offensive organizer.

He doesn't have that much desire to score goals, and many times he gives up shooting opportunities to Ronaldo. There are often opportunities to pass or shoot, but Dong Fangzhuo always chooses to pass the ball. Can Ronaldo not get the benefit?

You have to say that Dong Fangzhuo has selfish motives...

Messi has only 5 assists in the league so far. In fact, this assist number is already very impressive, but it is just embarrassing compared to Dong Fangzhuo.

Of course, the only threat to Ronaldo is probably Messi. Messi's number of La Liga goals is 10, but in La Liga, the gap may not be big. One day Messi will score twice and add a hat trick and he will catch up...

Real Madrid fans are now firmly convinced that Ronaldo is more terrifying as a forward than as a winger.

With Dong Fangzhuo by his side, Ronaldo is omnipotent, and his scoring rate is really amazing.

"The modern football game is a battle for space, and the ball itself is the target of this war. When we talk about the king of the penalty area, Ronaldo is the fastest contender."

Real Madrid fans say,

"We believe that Ronaldo will be the best in the world as a forward. He is a good header, can shoot with both feet, and his shooting skills are very comprehensive."

"Of course it would be the same if the Chinese director was in his position."

"The almost brutal attacking efficiency of the two of them is so shocking that now we are not even thinking about Barcelona."

"I don't even know who's better between the two of them."

"But I think the Chinese director is more comprehensive. Cristiano Ronaldo is now a striker in a pure sense, but the Chinese director can do everything."

"In this case, Ronaldo only needs to look for scoring opportunities near the penalty area."

"When he first debuted, Ronaldo always played as a winger. Later, in order to score more goals, he gradually changed his playing style. Now he is always looking at the opponent's goal. He needs to score goals to find happiness. This change of his makes him more perfect.”

Even Sir Alex Ferguson in England couldn't help but jump out for an interview and praised Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldo.

"To be honest, I thought Ronaldo was the most perfect as the wingman of the Chinese Director. I didn't expect that the Chinese Director would also be perfect as the wingman of Ronaldo. In other words, the two of them can completely make each other successful. The two guys' The cooperation is really seamless and perfect. I think it is possible for the two of them to exchange positions. But I can see that Dong now wants to fulfill Ronaldo and wants Ronaldo to overtake Messi in the scorer list."

"But why can't we suppress it together? This would be more perfect." Sir Alex doesn't think it's a big deal...

"There was a lot of turmoil in international football a few days ago. Everyone was discussing the issue of who should win the Ballon d'Or. I haven't said anything and I haven't figured out what the criteria for the Ballon d'Or are. But I figured it out today and want to win it. When it comes to the Ballon d'Or, you've been the best player in this field for at least one year, right?"

Ferguson did not say who it was, but the meaning behind the words was already very obvious, and there was only one month left before the Golden Globe Awards revealed the mystery.

"Spanish fans always say that Mourinho's team's style of play is not good to watch, so why is the Spanish league's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, the assists leader is Dong, and Real Madrid is the club with the most goals? Can it continue? Don’t they feel conflicted about having Barcelona under their control?”

yes,

why?

Sir Alex Ferguson's words seemed to remind many people.

As the Madrid derby gets closer and closer, when people analyze Real Madrid again, they gradually find that Mourinho's team is not as unbearable as they imagined.

※※※※

The Madrid derby, a confrontation that affects the entire Madrid, seems to be nothing for Mourinho.

On Saturday, Real Madrid's training was still open to the media. Mourinho was chatting and laughing with the players. Sometimes he hugged Dong Fangzhuo's shoulders affectionately, and sometimes he playfully touched Pepe's bald head. There was no trace of the dignity before the war.

After training and coming to the press conference room, Mourinho put on another face - a little nonchalant and a little careless.

"Is there anything special about the Madrid derby? In my opinion, this is just an ordinary game."

Talking about tomorrow's derby, his tone was very relaxed, "Of course, I know that these three points are important for the fans, but it will not change anything for me personally - I have experienced too many derbies. This is just Another game we have to win as we want to stay at the top of the table."

It seems that reporters are more worried than Mourinho. For example, the powerful firepower that Forlan and others may create will be a big test for any team. But Mourinho obviously disagreed: "All games are tests for us. Atletico Madrid has excellent forwards, but a team is not equal to their forwards. The focus is always on my own team. If it plays to the level it deserves, , we will win.”

As for tomorrow’s starter? Mourinho had no intention of hiding anything: "It's still the same eleven people."

At the same time, he also said that the team does not have a clear distinction between main players and substitutes. "Today's main player may be tomorrow's substitute, and vice versa. We do not play with a fixed team for eleven months, but adjust the lineup every day. I cannot say that Carvalho and Arbeloa are Real Madrid's substitutes, although they have to be on the bench, they are of the same level and at the end of the season they will play as many games as anyone else. Everything is temporary. I have confidence in the team. Every time When the team scores a goal, all the players on the bench participate in the celebration. It is with players like this that it becomes easier to be a coach and a leader."

Real Madrid are currently going smoothly and have not lost a game since the beginning of the season, but Mourinho is certain that he is not deliberately pursuing this record: "The day will come when we lose, and then we will continue to win." Keep winning and setting new records. It's not a drama to me. If I have to choose between a draw or risking a win, I'm not going to think about the record, I'm going to risk a win."

For Atletico Madrid's eleven-year winless run at the Bernabeu, he even downplayed the numbers: "Statistics represent the past. In the world of football, past numbers have no importance. They only represent the great success at the Bernabeu." Hard to win - every away team knows this. We are not playing for statistics, we are playing to win the league and to achieve that you have to win more games. For that, We need to win tomorrow."

When he said this, he sounded as patient as a primary school teacher.

A reporter's "flattering" compliments to Mourinho's Real Madrid stopped people from arguing about Mourinho's overly defensive play. Mourinho did not accept this trick: "The argument was originally yours and had nothing to do with me. My The team is always working hard to win games, and if we play conservatively on a day, it’s because we only have ten men left. When eleven against eleven, my team doesn’t play defensively.”

Asked about Dong Fangzhuo and Cristiano Ronaldo's recent fashion photo shoot for the Spanish magazine "DT", Mourinho laughed: "Young people have young people's activities. If DT doesn't ask them to shoot it, why should they ask me to shoot it? As long as they If I can win in the game, I will never interfere with their private life. Of course, everyone's private life must have a bottom line and comply with ethical standards."

The last sentence seems to be knocking Benzema again...
