131. Captain Dragon's Challenge
September 15, 2010.
Madrid, evening.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2010-11 European Champions League. Today we are bringing the first round of Group G, with Real Madrid taking over Ajax at the Bernabeu."
Jose Lopez, a commentator of the Madrid local TV station, stood on the side of the home team without surprise, and said affectionately:
"It is hard to imagine that a top giant like Real Madrid is at a disadvantage in the historical confrontation with Ajax, which is definitely a shame for the Melingers.
I still clearly remember that just half a year ago, our Galaxy battleship was broken up here by Ajax's blue-collar workers. We, who have two big Golden Balls, were helpless in front of the Dutch! Real Madrid fell to the quarterfinals for six consecutive years. What a humiliation!
Now, we have the opportunity to wash away this humiliation. Champions League champion coach Jose Mourinho replaced the conservative and cowardly Pellegrini, who will lead the team to revive Real Madrid's reputation in Europe!
Yes, this is a battle of revenge! Let's cheer for Real Madrid together! Hala, Madrid!"
-
"Murinho is of course strong, but we should see that Real Madrid has bought too many new players this summer, and their running-in level is far from the best, while Ajax's players have not changed at all. After a season of fighting side by side, the tacit understanding between them has long been closer. It is not impossible to defeat Real Madrid again."
On the Dutch TV side, commentator De Kur cheered Ajax very rarely.
His partner, Jansen, suddenly said: "The camera was given to the Bernabeu stands. Aha, who did we see? John Cruyff..."
But Dekur curled his lips: "Does this old man want to put some pressure on Van Basten?"
In the VIP box at the Bernabeu, the godfather of Barcelona and honorary chairman John Cruyff were looking at the players from both sides who came out of the passage.
The sixty-three-year-old Dutch legend turned his head and said to his son who was sitting beside him: "Who do you think can win?"
Yordy Cruyff's eyes wandered for a moment: "Real Madrid had already suffered from underestimating the opponent last season, and they would not lose again this time, right? What's more, Suarez can't play..."
The old man sneered and shook his head without saying a word.
Yordie knew that his old man had always regarded Ajax as the second home team, so he didn't dare to say anything that would disappoint him, although he didn't think Real Madrid would lose to Ajax at home.
In the eyes of Barcelona fans, although Real Madrid is a mortal enemy, only Barcelona can play a strong role in the Bernabeu. It would be too unqualified to Ajax be on par with Barcelona.
-
Although he had known the starting list of both sides, when Duan Yixuan saw Long Shute as the first to get out of the player channel with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited:
"Look at this picture. As the captain of Ajax, Long Shute and the current first goalkeeper, Real Madrid captain Casillas walked out side by side! This is the first time that a Chinese young player has played in the Champions League as a captain. We believe that this is just a small starting point!"
Compared to the excitement of his compatriots in China, Long Shute himself has become calm: because he has experienced these things in the first two games of the league.
From being discomfort for the first time, to saying hello to the referee team on behalf of the team, listening to precautions, rectifying discipline, leading the team to enter the court, directing teammates to shake hands with opponents... He has become much more proficient in these things.
The players of both sides shook hands one by one, and Long Shute could feel that some Real Madrid players were indeed burning with flames of revenge, such as Ronaldo and Cassi.
Compared with the two matches half a year ago, Ajax's starting lineup was not changed at all except for Romedal, Suarez, who was suspended, and Hamdavi, and the injured Vertonheng was replaced by veteran Oyer, but the other eight people remained unchanged, but almost all of them were changed on Real Madrid.
Brazilian king Kaka relapsed after the World Cup and had to miss the game for a long time. Ramos was also bizarrely injured before the game. Marcelo, Alonso and Pepe, who did not play due to injury last time, got the starting chance. Ozil, Di Maria, Khedira and Carvalho who transferred to the summer also competed in the Champions League for Real Madrid for the first time. Except for Cristiano Ronaldo, Cassi, Aberoa and Higuain, the other players were all the first time they met today.
However, for Long Shute, who has the system, these strange opponents have no mystery in his eyes. He is almost familiar with their characteristics and habits, and even knows himself better than themselves.
-
"You will not leave the Bernabeu with three points again today."
Casillas declared war on Longshu with a smile.
The Real Madrid captain's English sounded a bit weird, but Long Shute could barely understand it. He handed over the Ajax team flag in his hand and answered the best goalkeeper in today's football world in two words: "you, too."
You won’t take three points away from your home court!
-
"drop!"
Howard Webber, a famous whistle from England, blew the whistle to the start of the game.
The first kick-off was Real Madrid's side, and Higuain pushed the ball to Ozil, who passed it back to the backcourt.
After receiving the ball, Alonso swept the ball to the left with a "boom".
Real Madrid's main attack direction must be the side where Ronaldo is. Last year, the two Golden Ball Kings who came together to visit the Bernabeu. After just one season, the careers of the two people have undergone significant changes.
Especially after Kaka concealed his injuries and participated in the World Cup, he angered Mourinho and Real Madrid's senior management, the younger, stronger and more self-disciplined Portuguese deserved to be the only core of the Galaxy Battleship.
With Mourinho in charge of the team, Raul went to the Bundesliga, and the No. 7 finally belonged to Ronaldo. Guti went to Turkey to hunt for gold, and Saint Cassi became the first captain. These all symbolize that Real Madrid has officially ushered in a new era.
Ronaldo received the football on the left wing. Before he could decide whether to dribble the ball to attack Ajax, who was not firmly established, or hand over the football to his teammates in the back. Then he saw the familiar red number 8 blocking him.
"Aha, Ronaldo and Long Shute formed a one-on-one situation at the beginning! Who is better?"
Before Duan Yixuan could report the starting lineup of both sides, he couldn't help but slapped his thighs excitedly.
However, before his emotions were fully mobilized, he returned to normal levels: "Ah...C Ronaldo chose to return..."
Come and fight one-on-one?
Long Shute seemed to be sending a silent challenge to his opponent.
But Ronaldo just shrugged disapprovingly.
Who is Cristiano Ronaldo?
If every unknown person has to accept the challenge, wouldn’t I be exhausted?
Ronaldo wanted to say this, but he knew how powerful the little guy standing in front of him was.
In the two rounds of battle six months ago, it was this Ajax's No. 8 jersey that freezes Kaka.
And when Kaka showed fatigue, this guy was still energetic to help his teammates defend against Ronaldo!
It's okay to forget it the first time, after all, the venue is slippery, but the second game is really unacceptable - Kaka and the peak Ronaldo, who are close to recovering, joining forces to defeat him!
The No. 8 player brought his red and white Ajax teammates to turn the pure white Bernabeu stands into the home team's hell!
For the arrogant Ronaldo, Long Shute has long become the object he must get rid of. In Long Shute's eyes, the tall and burly Portuguese in front of him is the opponent he focused on in this game.
Kaka is not here, Ozil, who is weak in the game, is handed over to the tall and powerful De Jong, while Di Maria and Alonso are responsible for Dezeu and Enno. Each of them has their own targets in defense.
Long Shute, who has the strongest defensive ability in Ajax, of course, has to deal with Ronaldo, the most offensive threat in Real Madrid.
Chapter completed!
