Chapter 8 The Battle of Two Horses in the Eyes of Guangzhou Media

Updated: 2012-11-17

Guangzhou is the hottest time in August. Not everyone can stand the humid and stuffy weather in Guangzhou. Even Gong Zheng felt that his skin suddenly became sticky and his clothes were a little uncomfortable when he put them on his skin.

The stuffy heat in Guangzhou gave Real Madrid players a warning. Playing in such an environment is more uncomfortable than playing football in the scorching heat.

However, Real Madrid stars are not spoiled. They are football players. Adapting to the weather is one of their homework.

During this trip to Real Madrid, CCTV Channel 5 will broadcast the entire process live, so many Chinese fans can watch the grand event of Real Madrid players arriving in Guangzhou through TV or Internet TV.

Real Madrid then took a bus to the hotel they stayed at - Guangzhou White Swan Hotel.

The time to arrive in Guangzhou is 3:00 pm, and it is almost 5:00 after the hotel is settled. Although Real Madrid stars are looking forward to this trip to China, they don’t have much time to do so. Tonight is one of the few times. At other times, they have to participate in training, attend various press conferences, and participate in commercial and charity activities.

However, after more than ten hours of flight, the Real Madrid stars have become very tired, and not many people choose to go out shopping and enjoy local Chinese food.

Gong Zheng didn't plan to go, but Casillas and others found Gong Zheng and wanted Gong Zheng to take them out for fun. After all, Gong Zheng understood Chinese among them.

In order to integrate into the team faster and accommodate the Real Madrid stars, Gong Zheng urgently agreed to the captain's invitation and led the Real Madrid stars to have fun in Guangzhou and enjoy the delicious food in Guangzhou.

This game lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening. When he returned to the hotel, Real Madrid's stars immediately attracted the team's head coach Jose Mounirio's criticism.

The training intensity of Real Madrid will not be too high the next day. Real Madrid's star woke up at noon the next day. At 4 pm, the first training of Real Madrid will begin after arriving in Guangzhou. Real Madrid's first training will be open throughout the whole process, and there will be live broadcasts.

From the bus, they entered the locker room inside the stadium, and the players began to change their clothes and prepare to go out for training.

The locker room at the Olympic Sports Center was far less than that of the Bernabeu, but no one cared about it. After changing their clothes, they ran out one after another.

In fact, when they were still in the passage, they could hear the crowds of people outside.

When they ran out, they were shocked by what they saw. Even the knowledgeable Real Madrid players had never seen the scene of fans in the stands around them.

The Guangdong Olympic Sports Center, which can accommodate 80,000 people, is almost full. Later, Gong Zheng learned from the Internet that the organizer sold 68,000 tickets this time. If safety factors were not considered, the organizer would rather sell all 80,000 tickets...

Seeing this situation, Real Madrid's stars were also shocked. In just one training, more than 80,000 people came to the scene. This is more than some fans of Real Madrid's home league games, which makes Real Madrid's stars very hot.

In training, Real Madrid stars are very motivated, especially those who are unstable in the team, and of course some new players. They are all excited to show themselves with all their energy and be able to train in front of such people.

Yes, Real Madrid's stars are also human.

However, after entering the training, the stars of Real Madrid were very excited and were not affected by more than 80,000 people on the scene. Seeing the dedicated side of Real Madrid stars, the fans on the scene were cheering again.

Real Madrid was conducting a simple recovery training today, but the fans on the scene watched it very seriously, and they also took photos to record this moment.

In the final stage of training, Jose Mourinho arranged a seven-on-seven training match in a small venue. In this simple training match, the Real Madrid stars played very seriously. Gong Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo were not assigned to the same group, and the two teams did not match.

Gong Zheng and his team solved the battle in less than five minutes of the game. Gong Zheng's "long shot" blasted the opponent's goal. Cristiano Ronaldo and his team played a longer game, nearly twenty minutes, and the goal was scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid's first training class in Guangzhou ended in such a harmonious atmosphere. All the fans who paid a hundred or hundreds of dollars to watch the training were satisfied.

When the Real Madrid bus left the stadium, the fans gradually dispersed. I believe that after their promotion today, there will be so many people watching tomorrow's training, and the organizers are laughing from ear to ear this time.

In addition to training, various business activities are also indispensable when coming to Guangzhou.

So the team basically trains in the afternoon and participates in commercial activities in the morning. Not everyone needs to play. Some contracts are named, which Real Madrid players must attend, and some contracts are the entire Real Madrid team.

But no matter which event it is, Gong Zheng is the one who must attend. He is the most popular in China. If you want to make a profit, you will all rely on him. How could he be absent?

So from the moment he opened his eyes in the morning, Gong Zheng was busy, sometimes participating in free commercial activities one day, and the time was almost the same. After participating in commercial activities, he had to go to training in the afternoon, and there were still various activities waiting for him in the evening.

Gong Zheng is the most tiring star in Real Madrid, but this guy is happy.

After several consecutive days of business activities and training, Real Madrid finally ushered in its first commercial game, and their opponent is Guangzhou Evergrande.

Guangzhou Evergrande is a new Chinese Super League team. It only participated in China's top professional football league for the first time this season. In terms of honor and status, these two teams seem to have nothing to do with each other.

The reason why it is named "Real Madrid in China" is entirely because Guangzhou Evergrande is as rich as Real Madrid. Evergrande's boss is engaged in real estate. What is the most money in China today? Of course it is real estate! So it is not surprising that Evergrande is rich at all.

Because they have money, they can buy the players they like without caring about the transfer fee. They repeatedly poach international players from other clubs at high prices, forming the most luxurious lineup in China, and always spend a lot of money on foreign players to create big transfers. Last year, they signed Brazilian striker Muric for $3.5 million, and Belgrade guerrilla striker Cleo for 3.2 million euros. The most sensational one is the introduction of the Brazilian MVP Conca for tens of millions of dollars, which caused a sensation in the entire world football world.

While many Chinese capitals are rushing to escape from the Chinese football circle, Guangzhou Evergrande is so generous that it is eye-catching.

It is precisely because of its generous investment that it has bought many international players and high-level foreign players and built a top-notch team in China that has earned the nickname "Real Madrid in China".

Now this "Real Madrid in China" is about to face the real Real Madrid. You will know whether it is a horse or a mule, just take it out for a walk.

Chinese media have been hyping more than a week ago, and on the day of the competition, this hype reached its peak. In Guangzhou, almost all newspapers bought on the market mentioned this game, and local media in Guangzhou even put it on the front page.

This game was called the "Two Horse Battle" by local media in Guangzhou, and this gimmick is very attractive.

However, Li Zhangzhu, the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande Club, was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of this game. Now is the most critical moment for Guangzhou Evergrande to strive for the Chinese Super League championship. Moreover, this week was the most difficult time for the Chinese Super League to double-game in the week. At this time, arranging a commercial match with Real Madrid was simply unreasonable.

Yes, the Chinese Super League is different from the European League. Due to the weather in northern China, the Chinese Super League does not celebrate the New Year, so at the end of the European League, the official Chinese Super League is in full swing. At this time, it is undoubtedly very important for Guangzhou Evergrande, a new Chinese Super League team that is striving for the Chinese Super League championship. Of course, Li Zhangzhu does not want to let the efforts of the season be shattered because of a commercial game.

Li Zhangzhu was very dissatisfied with the arrangement of this game, but under the pressure of the Chinese Football Association and the senior management of the club, Li Zhangzhu had to send all the main players in this game.

Guangzhou Evergrande players also want to compete with high-level players like Real Madrid, especially high-level foreign players such as Muric, Cleo and Conca. They also want to compete with Real Madrid stars.

At the press conference before the game, Chinese reporters asked Jose Mourinho, and Guangzhou Evergrande was likely to not send out main players in this game due to league reasons. What does Jose Mourinho think?

Jose Munirio said: "For any team, the league is undoubtedly the most important thing. It is reasonable for the opponent to give up a business game because of the league. If it were me, I would do the same. We respect our opponents very much!"

Listening to Jose Mourinho's words, Guangzhou Evergrande's head coach Li Zhangzhu nodded.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center was crowded with people and brightly lit. At this time, there was still an hour before the start of the competition, and the Olympic Sports Center, which can accommodate 80,000 people, was almost full.

This is Real Madrid, which owns Gong Zheng, debuted in China for the first time, and Chinese fans have been looking forward to it for a long time.

At this time, the fans on the scene and in front of the TV were thinking about what kind of lineup Real Madrid would send today, and how many stars could appear in this game? Will Gong Zheng start? Will Gong Zheng and Cristiano? Will Ronaldo start at the same time?

Chinese fans are very excited about this game. Before Real Madrid came to Guangzhou, they were looking forward to it. Now that Real Madrid is coming, they are even more urgent and hope that this game will start soon.

At this time, Munirio was also considering whether Gong Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo should appear in the starting lineup at the same time?
