Chapter 532 European Super Cup

2001年8月20日，皇家马德里结束为期十五天的亚洲之旅返回西班牙，01-02赛季的准备工作正式开始。

Although the [-]-day trip to Asia consumed a lot of energy for the Real Madrid players, thanks to the huge profits from the trip to Asia, each player is still in a good mood.

Back in Madrid, Real Madrid immediately entered a state of preparation. This year's European Super Cup will be held on August 8. It can be said that Real Madrid's preparations are still very hasty.

Since the European Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup were officially merged in 2000, the current Super Cup is contested by the champions of the Champions League and the Europa League. Every year, the competition venue is set up at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco. (From 1998 to 2012, the UEFA Super Cup final was played in Monaco)

Last season's Champions League champion was of course Real Madrid. Their record in the Champions League can be said to be the best in Europe, and their eight Champions League titles have attracted the attention of the whole world.

Last season's Europa League champion belonged to Liverpool in the Premier League. Although the Liverpool coached by Houllier has long lost the toughness that swept Europe back then, with the rise of a large number of young players, Liverpool's performance last season was quite poor. vulgar.

Liu Han did not return to Madrid alone. Anna also followed Liu Han back to Madrid. She will start a new life here. The Spanish Rhythmic Gymnastics Training Base prepared by Florentino and other Real Madrid shareholders has been basically completed. After construction, only the preparations for personnel are left, and Anna is of course the first batch of athletes to enter this training base to participate in training.

Anna did not follow Liu Han on Real Madrid's Asian tour before, she returned directly to Ukraine, and training abroad still requires a lot of procedures.

After settling down Anna's life in Madrid, Liu Han hurried to Monaco with the team.

Monaco, the second smallest country in the world, has a land area of ​​only 1.98 square kilometers. However, although Monaco is one of the few "miniature countries" in the world, their citizens are extremely rich. Gaming, tourism and banking The business model dominated by France has made this country surrounded on three sides by France one of the wealthiest countries in the world.

Although the Louis II Stadium can only accommodate less than [-] spectators to watch the game, the facilities of this stadium are well-equipped and can be called the top in Europe. Not only can football matches be held here, but the retractable turf can even hold large-scale concerts here. and various parties.

Liu Han, who came to Monaco for the first time, was first shocked by the strong gaming atmosphere here. When he checked into the hotel, the first thing he saw in the hotel lobby was the automatic lottery vending machine. As one of the three major casinos in the world, Monaco Daily life has a deep relationship with gambling.

2001年8月24日，摩纳哥路易二世体育场，01-02赛季的第一项冠军争夺战正式打响。

Compared with the slightly tired Real Madrid, Liverpool is determined to win the Super Cup. In the Premier League, it has been suppressed by Manchester United and Arsenal. Liverpool can only focus on some less important games, such as the Europa League. , such as the European Super Cup.

Although Houllier has been criticized by the British media for a long time, the fighting power of Liverpool under his coaching is still quite good. Nelka also loaned to Liverpool from Paris Saint-Germain, and the team's offensive power is still very strong.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool quickly entered the fighting state, while Real Madrid inevitably appeared a little out of state due to the exhaustion of the Asian tour.

No.20 two minutes into the game, Liverpool left-back Riise broke through the gate guarded by Iker Casillas with a shocking long-range shot.

Liu Han is still in the forward position in this game. Although Tai Ding attracted Liverpool's defensive attention at the front, he still couldn't stop the opponent's heroic goal. The long shot was about 35 meters away from the goal. Riise fully demonstrated What is the aesthetics of violence.

Although Liverpool's tactics are still the traditional Premier League style, it has to be admitted that they have maximized their style, and the rapid offensive and defensive transitions made the tired Real Madrid players look a little embarrassed.

After conceding the goal, Real Madrid woke up. Makelele once again entangled Gerrard, the core of Liverpool's midfielder, which eased Liverpool's offense a little.

Taking advantage of Liverpool's offensive no longer so strong, Real Madrid began to organize a counterattack. Less than 15 minutes after Liverpool scored the first goal, Liu Han helped Real Madrid equalize the score.

Real Madrid Figo took a corner kick. In the penalty area, Liu Han squeezed Carragher's defense and scored a header to break through the gate guarded by Dudek.

However, not long after Real Madrid equalized the score, Liverpool broke Real Madrid's goal again before the end of the half-time. Hierro seemed a little helpless.

During the intermission, Real Madrid made a lot of adjustments. Guti and Raul who were not in good shape were replaced, and Del Bosque was replaced by McMaraman and Molotes to strengthen the team's confrontation ability.

Less than 10 minutes after the opening of the second half, Liu Han once again broke through the goal of Liverpool. This time, it was his pure individual performance. His super gorgeous foot skills completely played the Liverpool defender. Han shot with his left foot and scored.

Liu Han's wonderful goals shocked the fans at the Louis II Stadium. If Liu Han used to be like an invincible tank, now Liu Han has become a gorgeous and amazing Maserati.

After the score was equalized, the Liverpool players became a little irritable. Although Houllier once cleared out many "thorns" after coaching Liverpool, he is not a coach who is very good at managing players. Shanda players don't care much about Houllier.

After equalizing the score, Real Madrid's players gradually regained their game status. The midfielder Real Madrid relied on their strong personal ability to control the ball.
In the No.80 minute of the game, the more impatient Liverpool made a mistake. Midfielder Barosch made a stop error. McMaraman broke the ball directly regardless of the old club's friendship, and then sent a very effective kick to Morientes. A penetrating pass, Morientes' wide-angled goal gave Real Madrid the lead with 10 minutes remaining.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-2 thrillingly. They won the first championship before the start of this season, which is a good start for the season.
