Chapter 20 The Desperate Magic Bird

The calendar flipped to the last month of 2011.

After more than half a month of recuperation, Su Changwei has already removed the plaster cast and can walk freely, but it will take another month to resume vigorous exercise.

So he is still unable to train with the team, and can only work out upper body strength in the gym with other injured teammates, or walk slowly around the entire training base.

Real Madrid's entire training base covers an area of ​​more than 120 million square meters, equivalent to 160 standard football fields.Although the first team also trains here, as a player in the youth training echelon, Su Changwei has hardly encountered superstars such as Ronaldo and Casey.

But today is an exception.

During the walk, he saw an extremely familiar face head on.

Kaka.

The Brazilian who was injured in the national team game, like Su Changwei, is still in recovery training.

After running for a long time, Kaka's face was covered with hot sweat, and her thick black hair was curled up in a mess, making her look a bit sloppy.

"Rika..."

After finally meeting his childhood football idol, Su Changwei still couldn't control himself and couldn't help shouting,

But before he even finished shouting the third syllable, he saw the preoccupied Kaka running past him with his head bowed.

"……many."

Su Changwei looked at Kaka's back, and his mood that was full of excitement just now returned to normal temperature.

He took a deep breath, clenched his fist slightly, and muttered to himself:
"Don't blame Kaka for ignoring me, I'm just an ordinary youth player, he has no obligation to respond to me..."

"It's my lack of manners, calling other people's names casually on the road..."

"Thinking so engrossed, he also has a lot of troubles, right?"

He was fighting wits and courage with the air, but he heard footsteps coming from behind:
"Sorry, did you call me just now?"

Su Changwei turned around quickly in astonishment.

Kaka was standing behind him, slightly apologetic:
"I was a little distracted just now..."

Now it was Su Changwei's turn to be distracted.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Kaka's body, outlining a layer of faint golden light, as if he was not like a mortal.

Kaka stretched out her hand to brush her sweat-soaked hair, and suddenly froze for a moment:
"You are... Su from the youth team?"

His pronunciation is very inaccurate, it sounds like Hugh.

But Su Changwei still couldn't help being filled with joy:
"You know my name?"

Kaka nodded:

"I read the club news, you had a super long shot, it was very exciting!"

Su Changwei laughed contentedly:

"I'm looking forward to entering the first team as soon as possible and being a teammate with you!"

Kaka encouraged him a few words, and this exchange ended here.

Both of them thought that the next encounter might be a long time away.

After all, there are still two levels between U19 and the first team!
In addition to the level, the bigger problem is Mourinho!
If you want to impress this madman and become a regular player in the first team, it is more difficult than reaching the sky! -
Perhaps because of this encounter, Su Changwei subconsciously paid more attention to the performance of the first team.

In the first game in December, Real Madrid easily defeated Sporting Gijon 12-3 in an away game with a large rotation.

Kaka got the chance to play in the last 10 minutes, but did not perform well.

Three days later in the UEFA Champions League group stage, Kaka finally started, but everyone knows that this game has long been regarded as tasteless by Mourinho.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria, Alonso, Pepe, Ramos, Casillas and others all got a rest, and Kaka played with Adan, Granero, Callejon, Shaheen, Albiol... and the young players who joined Coentrao and Varane...

However, even with a substitute lineup, Real Madrid still firmly controlled the situation. Callejon scored twice, Higuain sealed the score, and Kaka, who played 90 minutes, also contributed an assist.

The large rotation of these two games is of course to allow the main players to get enough rest time, so as to kill the arch enemy Barcelona in the best condition! -
On December 12, Mourinho, who was ready to go, ushered in Guardiola's Barcelona at the Bernabeu.

This century war has attracted unprecedented attention.

The media from all walks of life is even more frantic.

Someone looked back at last season's 5:0 and Pique's Wuzhishan.

Some people are comparing the players worth of Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and some are listing the statistics of Ronaldo and Messi.

Someone made a video of the "Battle for the Earth", which is as intense as Star Wars.

Various football celebrities also appeared on the stage one after another, making various predictions for this peak battle from a professional perspective.

Even Wenger, who is far away in London, couldn't help being interviewed, pointing out Real Madrid's tactics:
"It's an opportunity for Real Madrid to show how far they have closed the gap between them and Barcelona."

However, Professor Wen, who has never won against Barcelona and Guardiola, how could Mourinho follow his advice?

Real Madrid, which is playing at home, has recently won 16 games in a row, and its momentum is at its peak. All the wounded have returned, new aid has also been in place, the main force has been rested, and the entire team has adjusted to its best condition.

As for the visiting team Barcelona, ​​they are 3 points behind Real Madrid in the case of one more game, and they have been chasing for a long time, which puts their mentality at a disadvantage, and they are also on the more passive side tactically.

In terms of players, Barcelona generally fight continuously, with insufficient physical reserves. The main central defender Pique has not been in a good state recently, Fabregas has been unable to integrate into the team's tactical system for a long time, and the overall bench lineup is also slightly inferior to Real Madrid.

In addition, the first assistant coach Vilanova was hospitalized due to illness and was unable to assist Guardiola in preparing for the game, which also had a big impact on the team.

then……

In the case of seemingly "the advantage is in me", Real Madrid finally lost 1:3!

控球率皇马38:62,射门次数17:12,射正5:7,黄牌4:3,犯规次数22:13,这些数据已经足以说明比赛的场面。

Mourinho, who was full of confidence before the game, lost again in disgrace!
His speech after the game was obviously a bit out of order:
"Messi shovels Alonso, why doesn't he even get a yellow card?"

"We protested against the selection of the referee before the game. Why didn't the La Liga official change?"

"We didn't lose to Barcelona, ​​we lost to luck."

"Cohen Tran's cameo at right back is a bold attempt, not a big problem."

——Yes, in this battle of the century, it is not Ramos, Arbeloa, Albiol, Diarra, nor Nacho and Carvajal who have been relegated to the sidelines, but Mourinho's Portuguese fellow, Coentrao!
Under Barcelona's frontcourt attack, the little golden retriever's defense was full of loopholes, and even lost his position many times!

Su Changwei, who was watching the live broadcast, even felt that his defense was better than his!

[Although I can't guard Messi, Xiaofa, and Sanchez, I can break their legs! 】
-
After the disastrous defeat to Barcelona, ​​the Real Madrid club almost had an earthquake.

Fortunately, even if they lose, they still have an active advantage in the league. Coupled with the personal appearance of club chairman Florentino, the atmosphere in the locker room did not completely collapse.

But Mourinho still put on an iron fist to rule the army:
"Some players didn't go all out in the game, their concentration was not even as good as the reserve team!"

So he rarely notified the youth training supervisor:
"I need some fresh blood, Fernando."

Fernando Sanchez quickly understood:
"I'll give you a list and let them train with the first team!"

Mourinho gritted his teeth and aggravated his tone:

"I want these first-team stars to feel the cruelty of professional football!"
