Chapter 396 The long history of Real Madrid
Judging from the cards alone, Barcelona's lineup at that time was no worse than Real Madrid, but the results were far less than expected. Many people blame the problem on Daxiong’s random buying of people. In fact, this is the funniest thing.

If one or two people you buy have problems, or some people have problems, it means there may be something wrong with the buyer's vision. If everyone you buy has problems and no one can perform normally, then it is the problem of the team itself. It has nothing to do with buying players.

Barcelona and Argentina have similar problems. They both make the mistake of establishing Messi as the core and leader of the team.

However, Messi has proven countless times that he is a very good player, but he is definitely not suitable to be the leader of the team.

He can complete his tasks 100%, but he cannot make his teammates or the team better.

This is something that many Barcelona fans have been unwilling to admit, which is the importance of mental attributes.

Think about the roles played by Puyol, the former captain of Barcelona, ​​and the former captains of Argentina, such as Mao Ma and Batty. Those are all stars with extremely strong mental motivation.

So, in those years when Barcelona was buying people, they always demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall. After Neymar left, they had to buy a technical winger, so they bought Dembele at a high price because they thought the midfield organization was not good enough, so they bought it. Coutinho was the best in the Premier League that year, and so on.

Always buy stars from a technical perspective. In fact, what Barcelona needs most is a spiritual leader, a captain with strong spiritual power like Ramos and Van Dijk, someone with the kind of courage that "even if the sky falls, I won't be afraid that I will be there to hold him up."

How big is the difference in strength between the top teams in Europe? Many times the fight is for the last breath, and the role of mental strength is infinitely magnified at this time.

Talking back to Barcelona in those years, if there was such a person, at least it would not have been reversed in so many years, at least it would not have been a tragedy at Bayern. Maybe we can also use Messi's late-stage ability to win two Champions Leagues.

Mourinho was the best at defeating Barcelona back then. He used physical strength, confrontation, desperate fouls, and the fastest counterattack in the universe. At that time, Mourinho only studied Barcelona, ​​and he made himself an old enemy.

The team not only has many world stars, such as Beckham, Zidane, Ronaldo, etc., but also has swept all directions in various competition venues. They have many honors, including 14 Champions League championships and 35 Spanish La Liga championships. , 20-time Spanish Copa del Rey champion, 12-time Spanish Super Cup champion, 5-time European Super Cup champion and 7-time club competition world champion.

Real Madrid Football Club has a wide range of fans and influence in Spain and Europe with its team's super combat effectiveness. It is one of the most successful football clubs in the world.

With the continuous emergence of fans, Real Madrid has launched various forms of marketing, including brand marketing, ticket marketing, membership marketing, and partner marketing. The diversified marketing methods have increased the club's commercial exposure and deepened their impression in the eyes of fans. Create more opportunities for interaction with fans.

Passing and control are not omnipotent. The way football is played fluctuates and reincarnates. It is the same in other industries. How does it fluctuate?
It just so happens that there is such a group of players and such a coach, and they can create an era of playing style. This group of people may not always have a legacy, just like Curry's small ball era in the NBA. You see, if O'Neal suddenly came into play in the 10s and 20s, what would happen? Is there a small ball era?

When the name of Real Madrid has been deeply embedded, the Real Madrid Club has also formed the basis for establishing its brand.

Since its establishment, Real Madrid Football Club has always faced fans and competitors with a "strong" attitude.

After Messi left, the dialogue between the strong players in the knockout rounds has been very unstable. It is indeed not as stable as Cristiano Ronaldo. This is a fact. In recent years, Real Madrid and Barcelona have really lacked a decisive figure in the knockout rounds. A typical example is 17 and 18. In each year, they met Juventus in the top 8. Real Madrid passed and Barcelona was eliminated.

Just like the men's and women's football teams that have been hotly discussed these days. In terms of strength alone, is the men's football team really worse than Vietnam? Is the women's football team really the best in Asia?

From then on, the club was officially known as Real Madrid Football Club.

Later, An Pang and Zidane retained their counterattack ability and strengthened the midfield, which was regarded as a level improvement. It has been used for many years and has been quite effective.

So when a group of Sammy fans said that pass control was the strongest play tactic in the universe, I was speechless.

In fact, what plays a decisive role is the hard work and mental will on the court.

Each championship contains the team's repeated victories, and each victory brings a crushing shock to the fans' hearts. Each shock eventually transforms into worship of the star and loyalty to the club.

It is not too difficult to withstand pressure and win the Champions League in one season, but Real Madrid can pass under high intensity and high pressure for three consecutive seasons. This is the biggest difference between Real Madrid and other European powers in recent years.

It's just soft, but it won't work when you encounter a hard team. La Liga as a whole plays with technical passing and control. Everyone in the league plays like this and it can't be seen. But it's different in Europe, each with its own characteristics.

Real Madrid Football Club, referred to as "Real Madrid", is a football club located in Madrid, the capital of Spain. The team was founded on March 1902, 3 and was formerly known as Madrid Football Team.

Speaking of Spanish football, Real Madrid and Barcelona are unavoidable topics. After years of development, the contest between Real Madrid and Barcelona has become one of the most exciting games in Spain and even the world. This game is also known as the "Spanish El Clasico".

每当西班牙国家德比临近之时，盘点历史便成为了一个热门话题。成立于1902年的皇马与成立于1899年的巴萨，在1902年5月13日迎来了历史首次较量。

The game was held to celebrate the coronation of Alfonso XIII (the predecessor of the King's Cup). Real Madrid and Barcelona met in the semi-finals. In the end, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2:1 and successfully advanced to the final.

This game officially kicked off the century-old rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In the next hundred years or so, the two teams have joined forces to provide us with wonderful scenes - there have been hearty final shots, there have been different handshakes and reconciliations, and there are also moments that still trouble the world today. "Cold Case".

Looking through history, it is not difficult to see such a game - June 1943, 6, the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid 13:11 Barcelona. You must know that although Real Madrid had revived at that time, it was still far from the prosperous stage of five consecutive Champions Leagues in the future. Barcelona was more influential in Spanish football at the time, so why did it suffer a double-digit bloodbath?

Looking at Real Madrid's club introduction, you can find that most websites set the team's founding date as March 1902, 3.

In fact, if you continue to look back, Real Madrid's predecessor, Skye Club, was established in early 1896.

In early 1896, several graduates from Cambridge and Oxford universities came to Madrid, Spain for academic exchange.

The development of European football at that time was far less average than it is now - England's football level was in a leading position, but the development of football culture in other regions, including Spain, lagged behind.

These British graduates already had a certain understanding of the English football operating system during their studies. In addition, after arriving in Madrid, they met some local football enthusiasts. So, with the help of these British graduates, the Spanish region was established One of the first formal football clubs, one of the representative ones was called "Skye Club".

Skye Club is the oldest football club in Spain, but at that time the development of Spanish football had not yet formed a system, and institutions such as the "League" and "Football Association" similar to the symbols of modern football had not yet been formed.

Therefore, the Skye club participated more in amateur competitions in its early days.

For the Skye Club, although it has the aura of Spain's first football club, due to the relatively general football environment, the club's initial operations were extremely bleak.

European football players of the early 20th century
At that time, the team only had more than 30 members, and in many games it could not even make up the starting 11 people. Monthly wages and logistical support often troubled the team's senior management.

In the early days of its establishment, due to financial constraints, the Skye club could not even rent a professional competition venue and could only play games in an open space on Lista Street.

Under all difficulties, several founders of Skye Club fully learned from the development experience of English football clubs and decided to look for investors with certain financial reserves.

However, several other shareholders of the club always insisted that they should develop the grassroots in a down-to-earth manner to attract citizens to join. The two sides fell into conflict and decided to find several shareholders who were investors (Carlos Padros, Juan Padros, Julian Palacios) finally left the team resolutely.

In order to distinguish the Skye club, they formed a new team called "New Social Club" (Skye Club was also known as the Social Club at the time).

In the few years at the turn of the 20th century, the development of Spanish football finally got on the right track, and a number of teams that had a profound impact on future Spanish football were established.

Against this background, New Sociedad has the courage to keep up with the trend. On the one hand, they have increased their promotion efforts in Madrid and recruited many young players; on the other hand, they have also actively attracted investors to introduce outstanding athletes from other regions.

On March 1902, 3, Carlos and others held the first board meeting of the New Society Football Club. In the context of the increasing number of football clubs in Madrid, in order to highlight the "historical status" of the New Society Football Club, Carlos It was decided to rename the team "Madrid Football Club".

As soon as this news came out, it aroused strong opposition from the Skye Club, causing Carlos and others' application to the Madrid government to change the name to be shelved for a long time. Fortunately, the New Sociedad Club at that time had already become famous after years of investment and operation. , and the Skye Club, which was unwilling to accept new things, went from bad to worse. In the end, the New Sociedad Club finally broke through many difficulties and successfully changed its name to Madrid Football Club.

Although Madrid Football Club had a certain influence in the city of Madrid when it was first established, it was not yet the most competitive team in Spanish football.

In comparison, Athletic Bilbao is the real "Big Mac" - they have won the championship in all the previous three Copa del Reys.

But Madrid came from behind and won the King's Cup in the next four years. They also won the privilege of permanently retaining the King's Cup championship trophy because of their outstanding performance in this event.

Off the field, the Madrid club has gradually developed into a label in Spanish football.

On the one hand, they are one of the most important founding clubs of the Royal Spanish Football Association and one of the eight founding members of FIFA (FIFA was founded in 1904, but at that time, Spain had not yet established a nationwide football association, so Represented Spain in FIFA by Madrid Club);
On the other hand, Madrid Club has deeply cultivated youth training on the basis of attaching great importance to investment, which has promoted the development of football in the Madrid region.

In this context, on June 1920, 6, King Alfonso XIII of Spain officially announced that the name "Real" would be added before the name of Madrid Club, and the familiar "Real Madrid" was born.

Of course, there are many other stories circulating about the Spanish government's favor for the Madrid club - the most striking of which is the feud with Barcelona.

Gamber is a businessman from Switzerland. He has shown a strong interest in football since he was a child. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints when he was young, Gambler did not receive formal football training, and his athletic talent was not outstanding. , Gamble never became a professional football player throughout his life.

As an adult, Gamper gradually embarked on the road of business, but many of his investments ended in failure. Afterwards, he accepted his uncle's invitation to work in Barcelona.

In Barcelona, ​​Gamper gave up the idea of ​​doing business in Africa in the future.

Here, Gamber witnessed firsthand the citizens' interest in football. He also joined an amateur football club in Barcelona after work.

However, while engaging in football, Gamper, who has a keen business perspective, realized a major loophole in the local football movement - although football has become popular in Spain, it has not yet been fully integrated into Spanish society. Although the citizens love football, they are not willing to Joining the team, the ones who actually play on the field are often foreigners or Spaniards who have returned from abroad.
