The 2017-2018 season began in such an atypical confrontation.

After that, Real Madrid continued to win the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup with a score of 1-0, winning the Super Cup with an aggregate score of 5-1 and claiming their first title of the new season.

Over the years, the confrontation between Real Madrid and Barcelona is about to become a piece of history. From the two-person turn of the Western Super League back then, to the three-legged stand of Atletico Madrid later, to the current standout.

In the past, the passionate national derby is not so exciting today, because Real Madrid's strength has been significantly higher than Barcelona's, and in front of this Real Madrid team, perhaps only Manchester City can challenge them.

Then, La Liga followed suit, and although the second round of the Super Cup against Barcelona only ended with a 1-0 victory, Real Madrid showed their true ferocious side in the first home game against strong rivals Sevilla, crushing them 4-0.

You know, Sevilla have been a strong team in recent years, and although they have not been able to pose a threat to the top three in La Liga, they are a rare opponent in Europe, winning three Europa League titles. But such an opponent is so vulnerable in front of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid left Sevilla helpless with their suffocating defensive stunt, and their unsolvable attacks made their opponents even more helpless.

The score of 4:0 is not surprising.

Echoing Real Madrid, in the Premier League, another Premier League team was slaughtered by Manchester City, although Southampton is not a giant, but they used all their strength in the game, and they could not stop Messi from moving forward, although the score of 5:0 is not as high as the Community Shield, but it is enough to make the entire Premier League tremble. The season has just begun. But there was no hope of a title in sight, and it only took one or two games for Manchester City to declare that the title was in their bag.

What's even more terrifying is that Messi, Ronaldo and Suarez once again scored together at the same time, and the performance of the three of them was terrible!

In the second round, they met the giants Arsenal again, and Arsenal was also slaughtered by a big score. If one or two times can be said to be an accident, but three times in a row it is like this, it means that this team must be very scary.

Real Madrid didn't lag behind either, away to Sporting Gijón. Almost tied the score to double digits. Benzema and Sergio Aguero both scored hat-tricks, while substitute Alvaro Morata scored twice and Liu Hao contributed five assists!

Although Liu Hao did not participate in scoring goals in the league, he contributed six assists in two games, which is equivalent to the number of assists of many midfielders in a season, and he also made Benzema and Aguero rank first in the league scorer list at the same time." And, in the ranking of the European Golden Boot Awards, the two of them also have the same number of goals as Messi and Ronaldo, from players to teams. There is a competing relationship. I believe this competition will be the case until the end of the season. ”

The fans of both clubs are the happiest, and then the national team's match day arrives, both in Europe and Asia, which are still fighting to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

This time. Most European teams have already qualified, and at least a few are still fighting, such as the Czech Republic and Denmark. However, the World Cup qualifiers in Asia are in full swing and no team has yet qualified, with only the first two games played in the previous top 10 matches, and no team will qualify for two more games in the past two weeks, and it will certainly be possible to wait until the end of December to play two more games.

Naturally, the Chinese team is very hopeful that they will get the desired result by that time. In the two World Cup qualifiers at the end of September, under the leadership of Mourinho, the Chinese team won two victories without any suspense, and then the Chinese team was still three points ahead of second-place Australia and six points ahead of third-place Australia. By December, they are indeed likely to qualify early.

In the Champions League, Real Madrid and Manchester City still have no opponents who can stop their progress. Whether it is the club or the competitive pattern of the players, they are all at the top of their respective standings, and on the scorer list, those players are still at the top, but they are just one more or one less.

This situation lasted until the beginning of December, only a little change, the Premier League side of the devil's schedule came, Manchester City team multi-front, has begun to appear tired, the state of the players has declined, but Real Madrid is still strong, Aguero and Benzema's goal momentum has not weakened, has surpassed Messi and Ronaldo they 4 and 3 goals, the Champions League also led by 2 goals.

Then, Messi chose to drop back and conceded goals to Cristiano Ronaldo and Suarez, which was the same as he had done before in Barcelona, and it looked like they didn't want to lose to Liu Hao at this level.

Liu Hao's number of goals this season is not very much, in many games, the team has determined the lead early, Liu Hao is generally based on assists, more than three months, his assists have reached 20, which is unimaginable in other players, it is precisely because of this that his teammates can get more nanny-style goals.

Both teams qualified for the Champions League two rounds ahead of schedule, ensuring qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League.

At this time, Liu Hao even had time to go to Japan.

Because this year's Club World Cup is held in Tokyo, Juventus, as the Champions League champion last season, represented Europe in this event, if Liu Hao is still in the Juventus team, he can also participate in the team, and now this is the only championship he has not touched, and he can only continue to wait until next year to have a chance, provided that he can win the Champions League with the team and continue to stay in the team.

Juventus only needed to play two games in the Club World Cup, with Juventus facing Santos of the Americas in the semi-finals, which Juventus won 1-0.

What Liu Hao didn't expect was that Guangzhou Evergrande, which represented Asia, finally broke through and advanced to the finals for the first time. It was his younger brother Ling Zhenbang who contributed to the team, and his stunner made history for Evergrande, and then could compete with Juventus for the championship of this Toyota Cup.

But no one is optimistic about Guangzhou Evergrande, and Juventus' strength is there. Juventus haven't won the Toyota Cup in so many years, and they can't afford to let this title go by.

However, the process of the game was a big surprise, and the score of 0:0 lasted until the last moment, and finally it was Marchisio who finally won the Toyota Cup with great difficulty.

This is also the result that Liu Hao wants, although he is no longer at Juventus, he still hopes to have a successful championship journey.

Then, the World Cup qualifiers came again, and La Liga entered the winter break. Liu Hao and the Chinese team flew to Bahrain, and after killing the Bahrain team 2:0 away, the Chinese team is in sight, and there is only one game left, and the Chinese team can qualify two rounds in advance!

Just one game away!

The whole of China is excited.

In the past World Cup journey, we have heard too many painful memories - there is not much time left for the Chinese team, the Chinese team suffered three black minutes, the Chinese team's dream of the World Cup was shattered, and the Chinese team was eliminated from the competition.

But this time, the Chinese fans are the happiest, they don't need to wait until the last round, they don't need to look at other people's faces. There is no need to suffer in the competition.

They have reason to believe that in the home game, the Chinese team can win the game calmly and then reach the 2018 World Cup.

this day. Shenyang Wulihe Stadium was full, as if returning to the day of qualification in 2001.

No more fear, no more fear.

It was such a big game that Mourinho actually made a rather bold decision. pressed Liu Hao on the bench.

Many people may not understand why Mourinho did this, this is the most important game related to the Chinese team's qualification!

But, as Mourinho said to Liu Hao in the dressing room. One day, you have to get used to sitting on the bench and watching the Chinese team play, the Chinese team is not your Liu Hao's Chinese team, the Chinese team is a team, everyone should devote all their strength to it and fight for it to the end!

In this game, the Chinese team must win the game without Liu Hao playing!

Mourinho believes that even if there is no Liu Hao to suppress the formation, the Chinese team must win this game, and the Chinese team must have such confidence!

"Mu Shuai's idea is actually very simple, that is, to go to Liu Haohua, the Chinese team must rely on their regular strength to win the United Arab Emirates, so that they have the confidence to play the World Cup, anyway, there are still two games ahead, even if this game can't be won, in fact, there is no pressure. Of course, Liu Hao will definitely be anxious when he sits on the bench at this time, after all, this is a game that will go down in the history of Chinese football! ”

Everyone really thought too much, but without Liu Hao, the performance of the Chinese team did not disappoint anyone.

It was also bloodless, the Chinese team scored one goal in each half, and it did not let the UAE mess with the Chinese team's dream of entering the World Cup!

In this way, the Chinese team got the ticket to the 2018 World Cup two rounds in advance!

On December 28, fans all over China celebrated this historic moment, and the Chinese team reached the World Cup finals again after 2002.

China became the first Asian team to reach the World Cup finals, and the other three and a half places may not be revealed until the last minute.

At this time, the Chinese team, perhaps in the eyes of many people, has become a real strong team......

With the World Cup qualifying, the 2018 World Golden Ball Awards ceremony is also coming.

Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Suarez, Neymar and Liu Hao are the players who enter the final five, but Liu Hao is still the last to call. In 2016-2017, Liu Hao won the Italian Serie A championship, the Italian Cup, the Spanish Super Cup, the UEFA Champions League, and was the European assist king. These honors are not available to other players, and their existence is just to set off Liu Hao's greatness.

At the award ceremony on January 8th, Liu Hao became the final protagonist, in the past award ceremonies, the camera camera always liked to capture the expression on each candidate's face, but now everyone's expression is actually the same, only people who are uncomfortable in their hearts will show stiff and embarrassed expressions, but now no! They lost convincingly!

Liu Hao won the third World Golden Ball Award in his life, which is more weighty than the European Golden Ball Award he won last summer, because the World Golden Ball Award is the highest honor for a player, and there are only a handful of players who can win the three Golden Ball Awards, Messi and Ronaldo are the most won, four respectively, and there are only two of them in front of Liu Hao!

"Liu, from the East, continues his mysterious football journey, his arrival is not to stir up the world of football, but to surpass the peerless duo and create a new history, we couldn't believe it before, and now we don't doubt how far a miracle can be extended by a player who is about to turn 34 years old." "French Football" sighed, "Since we founded this magazine, we have seen countless football talents create unparalleled miracles, but there has never been a player like Liu, who is full of eternal worship!" ”

The editor-in-chief of France Football continued: "I have seen almost all the great players play in my life, some of them can be called gods, football kings, superstars, etc., but if I had to describe Liu Hao in one word? I really can't find the right words to describe it for a while. ”

"He's incomparable, but he's completely different from everyone else."

"He doesn't seem to know much about football, but he plays football to the extreme."

'He's always been able to get the ball into the back of the net and win the game, no matter who he's up against.

"Oh, maybe he's the god of football, and when everyone is trying their best to win, he just needs to lift his feet lightly."

"He's the god of football."

In this way, the football god led his Real Madrid to win the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey again, and meet Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium.

The UEFA Champions League final of the 2017-2018 season was held at the place where Liu Hao's European dream began.

It couldn't have been a perfect season, from start to finish.

From the beginning of the season, the two strongest teams in Europe have agreed to reach the final together, and then they will decide who is the strongest king in the world and which club is the strongest.

"Finally, it's coming...... fans from all over the world flocked to Europe to see the greatest final of the 21st century. (To be continued.) )
