Chapter 45: Chu and Sesk
readx;
Although Chu Zhongtian did not make much of a splash in the war of words, he was still mentioned by the media in North London, who made him famous now?
As the heart of Real Madrid, he has also been psychologically attacked by the media. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In the report, the North London media referred to Chu Zhongtian as "Fabregas's stand-in", which is evident in his disdain.
Of course, this may not be really contemptuous, but just a means of psychological warfare, hoping to provoke Chu Zhongtian with this.
But Chu Zhongtian didn't care what the media thought of him at all, and the mention of Fabregas's stand-in had been used by some ill-intentioned media when he first came to Real Madrid, and he didn't feel any disgust at the time. First of all, Fabregas is indeed very good, he is on a par with himself, and he will not make Chu Zhongtian feel insulted. Secondly, he never thought of himself as anyone's stand-in, and when he was first called Beckenbauer II, he didn't think that he was really "Emperor II". So such a debasement does not work for him.
Chu Zhongtian is reluctant to fight a war of words because football is not won by talking about it, but by kicking it with both feet. So don't look at the big war of words between the two sides in the media now, sometimes it is Arsenal who have the upper hand, and sometimes it is Real Madrid who leave the other side speechless. In fact, it's all virtual, and the one who can still laugh in the end must have won the game, not in a war of words.
※※※When Real Madrid arrived at Heathrow Airport, Chu Zhongtian met Boss John and them at the airport.
It doesn't matter what team he's on, as long as he comes back to London to play, he's sure to see the faces of these old friends.
"Welcome Mr. Seventy Million!" Boss John and the others held such a banner to cheer for Chu Zhongtian.
Chu Zhongtian walked over to sign autographs, but in fact, he chatted with them on the grounds of signing and reminisced about the past.
"I love Arsenal football, but this time I've got to be a Real Madrid fan, ha!"
"Hey, Chu, can you help me get a Cristiano. Ronaldo's signature? ”
"I want Kaka! Kaka's! ”
"Don't you all want me?" Chu Zhongtian feigned anger.
Everyone laughed: "Your autograph is not uncommon to us, Chu!" ”
"However, I've read the reports in the London media, and they don't respect you enough, Chu! They actually said that you are a 'Fabregas stand-in', Real Madrid only offered Fabregas 60 million at the beginning, and gave you a price of 70 million, is there a stand-in who is worth more than the main owner? ”
Old friends were indignant that the media looked down on Chu Zhongtian so much. And Chu Zhongtian smiled indifferently: "Everything depends on the feet to speak." It's good to let them know that when it's time for the game. ”
"Hey! I just like your mentality! Boss John patted Chu Zhongtian on the shoulder. Come on! We'll all be going to watch you play then! its_my_chuuuuuuuuuuuu—" He joined his head, and the people around him began to sing along.
In the midst of the song, Chu Zhongtian waved goodbye to these lovely old friends and turned around and returned to the team. This time, he was also tasked with asking his star teammates for autographs.
C. Ronaldo saw him return to the team, and heard the singing of those fans, he smiled and patted Chu Zhongtian's head: "It seems that you are very popular in London, Chu!" ”
"Aren't you too?" Chu Zhongtian handed over a few jerseys.
The Portuguese were a little surprised: "What is this?" ”
"They asked me to ask you for an autograph." Chu Zhongtian winked at Ronaldo.
The war of words between Mourinho and Arsene Wenger continued until the press conference the day before the match. The two managers did not attend the press conference at the same time, but the smell of gunpowder was still strong for everyone to smell.
In his press conference, Mourinho said nothing about Arsenal, instead reminiscing about his time at Chelsea, saying that returning to London was like coming home, where he met a lot of old acquaintances and made him feel good. He was completely stress-free.
This dismissive attitude made the Arsenal side very unhappy, and a reporter told Wenger about Mourinho's performance in the press conference after his appearance, and the Frenchman was unhappy with Mourinho's attitude: "I think he lacks basic respect. He was willing to remember Chelsea as his business, but he soon understood that this was not for a holiday. ”
Whether or not Mourinho's attitude is arrogant, at least he is right - returning to London is like coming home to him.
Even if the game is away, he has a large supporter base. Just as Chu Zhongtian has supporters from Wimbledon, Mourinho has supporters from Stamford Bridge. There will be a number of Chelsea fans who will come to support Jose Mourinho in this game.
※※※Although Chu Zhongtian was very low-key before the game, he was very disappointed in his low-key, and he did not respond to the provocations and insults of the pro-Arsenal media, which made people think that he was afraid.
But when the game started, everyone found that Chu Zhongtian did not dare to fight back, but used all his strength on the court.
As soon as the game began, he suddenly inserted himself into the box and came with a powerful volley.
If it hadn't been for Arsenal's goalkeeper Almunia's quick reaction and a side-saving save, perhaps forty seconds later, Arsenal would have been behind.
Arsenal's radio commentator was speechless in the face of this shot, he had just begun to read the starting lists of both sides, and he didn't expect Chu Zhongtian to come with a threatening shot, which made him unexpected.
"Chu Zhongtian-oh! Pretty! It was He Ping who shouted very hard. Before the game, the London media's disparagement of Chu Zhongtian made him, a fan of Chu Zhongtian, very unaccustomed to it. So as long as Chu Zhongtian has a wonderful performance in the game, he will tout it desperately. Although he was in the studio in Beijing, he fantasized about the expressions of the group of reporters who were speechless by Chu Zhongtian's performance, and he felt very happy.
Only the Real Madrid players understand that if Arsenal really despises Chu Zhongtian and only treats him as a substitute for Cesc Fabregas, then Arsenal will be in bad luck...... in fact, among the Chinese media, this game is considered a contest between two midfield masters. Real Madrid have Chu Zhongtian, while Arsenal have Cesc Fabregas.
So the collision of the two people in this game will be quite interesting.
The game Harvey. Alonso continued to sit on the bench, this time not because he was still injured. Rather, Mourinho is playing away from home, Arsenal's midfield is very strong, and there is a need for a sapper-type midfielder who is specifically responsible for interception, and no one is more suitable than Khedira.
He ran tirelessly in the midfield, doing dirty work in obscurity, clearing a relatively orderly midfield space for Chu Zhongtian and C. Ronaldo, Kaka and others.
And that's something Alonso couldn't do. Although Alonso can also defend, he is not a professional defensive player after all, and the effect is not as good as that of Khedira.
So Mourinho put Alonso on the bench.
For Chu Zhongtian, it doesn't matter if he and his partner do, anyway, he and Khedira also cooperate well. When he is paired with Khedira, he takes care of the defense less and can devote more energy to attacking, while Khedira is dedicated to defense. And when he is paired with Alonso, both men need to attack and defend.
Of course, Chu Zhongtian also has defensive tasks in this game. His defensive target was Cesc Fabregas.
Mourinho intends to give full play to Chu Zhongtian's all-round characteristics, since he can attack and defend well, then let him contain Fabregas in defense.
As long as Arsenal is without Cesc Fabregas, it is equivalent to having no brains, and the performance is very chaotic.
In terms of defensive hardness, Chu Zhongtian is much stronger than Fabregas, and Mourinho is not worried that Chu Zhongtian will not be able to defend against Fabregas.
After Chu Zhongtian declared war on Arsenal with a volley, Arsenal also quickly reciprocated.
Van Persie received Theo Walcott's cross and headed it over the top of goal, only to go just wide.
The other person to be careful with in this game was not Van Persie, but Walcott, who was so fast that if Arsenal were to take advantage of the opportunity to counter-attack, there would be few people who could stop the "little tiger" running at full speed.
Therefore, Mourinho asked the back line not to press too much and not to create offsides. For this reason, he did not start Marcelo and Bale, but instead used the more defensive defender Arbeloa as the starting left-back. Arbeloa's attacking prowess is far from the previous two, but he is mediocre defensively and obedient and doesn't press forward so that he doesn't give Walcott too much space to play his speed advantage - he plays right wing-back against Walcoat on the right wing.
※※※ After a dangerous attack from each side, the game officially kicked off.
The re-encounter between Mourinho and Arsene Wenger attracted the attention of the world, and the photographers on the sidelines did not focus their cameras on the pitch, but frequently turned to Mourinho and Wenger.
After the game started, both managers sat in their dugouts and did not come out to direct the game, and there was no direct conversation.
Before the game, the two of them naturally did not shake hands, hug or other friendly gestures.
Jose Mourinho wants to take all three points away from the road, while Arsene Wenger can't wait to beat them, and there is absolutely no camaraderie at all.
In the 11th minute, Real Madrid instigated an offensive, and Khedira cut off Van Persie's ball and passed it to Chu Zhongtian. As soon as Chu Zhongtian turned around, he saw Arsenal's defender Alexander. Song pounced, he almost reflexively made a dodge action, stretched out his foot and gently poked the football to the side, and dodged the save, then he dodged sideways, and then bypassed Song to regain control of the football.
"Beautiful! The ball is divided! He Ping shouted excitedly again. He only hated now that he was not in the commentary booth at the Emirates Stadium, and that he couldn't demonstrate to the media in London with exaggerated gestures - let you look down on our Chu Zhongtian!!
After Chu Zhongtian dodged Song, he rushed forward with the ball. This time it was Cesc Fabregas who came up to defend him.
The commanders of the two teams finally met head-on.
Fabregas didn't rush out to steal, but jammed until it stopped, forcing Chu Zhongtian to slow down and prevent him from continuing to dribble the ball inside. We all know that Real Madrid is characterized by being fast, and as long as they can slow down, it means that their defense is successful.
Chu Zhongtian did not entangle with Fabregas, he turned around and distributed the football to Kaka, who followed up on the wing.
Then he ran past Cesc Fabregas without the ball.
Fabregas did not go back to defend Chu Zhongtian, but pounced on Kaka. The person who came back to defend Chu Zhongtian was Song.
Arsene Wenger asked Song to defend Chu Zhongtian, because Song is the most reliable and defensive midfielder in Arsenal's midfield. The best of course has to deal with the best.
However, as soon as the two of them met, they let Chu Zhongtian get rid of the ball, which was undoubtedly a humiliation for Song, who became famous and made rapid progress at a young age, and he must get this game back in the game.
Song, who came back to defend Chu Zhongtian, acted much more ferociously this time.
When Kaka feigned a breakthrough but passed the football to Chu Zhongtian, he slammed into it from the side, such physical contact is nothing in the Premier League, but it may be a foul in La Liga. Song hoped to use such a collision to make Chu Zhongtian lose control of the football - he must have lacked a true understanding of Chu Zhongtian. Although he watched a lot of video videos of Chu Zhongtian's game before the game, it didn't mean that he really knew Chu Zhongtian's strength. There are a lot of things that you can't see just by watching the game footage.
Therefore, his collision did not pose any threat to Chu Zhongtian, and Chu Zhongtian's figure didn't even shake.
Cameroon's international player was a little surprised, but his reaction was fast, and when he saw that his collision was unsuccessful, he immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed Chu Zhongtian's clothes, preventing him from taking the opportunity to escape.
Chu Zhongtian didn't plan to break through, but directly passed the football out again, this time to Ozil, who came back to pick him up.
Chu Zhongtian has already tested Arsenal's attitude towards himself through this attack. The pro-Arsenal media may have shown disdain for him, but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has absolutely no disdain, allowing the team's most defensively capable midfielders to defend him.
However, for Chu Zhongtian, Song may be regarded as a relatively good midfielder in the Premier League recently, but he still can't threaten himself. Chu Zhongtian has encountered a lot of very powerful backs, he has fought against them, he has a wealth of combat experience, he knows how to deal with these backs. Especially the strong back waist, this is the type that Chu Zhongtian is not afraid of.
After Chu Zhongtian passed the football out, he quickly got rid of Song's entanglement and ran to the next place.
Song followed and ran over.
Ozil did not continue to pass the football to Chu Zhongtian, but turned around and organized the attack himself.
Real Madrid's advantage is that they are not the only playmaker who can pass the ball, Mesut Ozil and Alonso are both good players.
Song was pestering Chu Zhongtian, and Ozil lacked people to defend.
Mesut Ozil pushed a through ball and Higuain cut into the box, a little late, and the ball was caught up in advance by Arsenal's centre-back Vermaelen, who kicked it out.
Chu Zhongtian's idea in this game is that if Arsenal keep a strict eye on him and limit his role, then he will pass more football to Ozil and hand it over to this player with great spirit to deal with Arsenal's backline.
He only plays a rhythm master, similar to the role of the man behind the scenes.
He also used this trick when he was at Hoffenheim, when the opponent cared too much about him, he passed the football to Salihovic or Eduardo, and let these two men organize the attack, and he was only responsible for controlling the tempo. Make the opponent's defensive set-up useless and meaningless.
After all, there are a limit to eleven people on the field, and if the heavy soldiers take care of Chu Zhongtian, there will inevitably be loopholes in the defense of others.
※※※After figuring out Arsenal's defensive strategy against him, Chu Zhongtian's position was withdrawn a little, leaving the forward position to Ozil.
Now he can use more energy to defend Cesc Fabregas.
Cesc Fabregas is characterized by delicate footwork, strong overall view, accurate judgment, very calm in possession and distribution, and decisive shooting. He is an all-round midfield playmaker, and Chu Zhongtian does have similarities, and it is no wonder that the media in north London will call Chu Zhongtian "Fabregas's stand-in", they believe that Fabregas became famous earlier than Chu Zhongtian, although Chu Zhongtian is currently in the limelight, but according to the time of appearance, Chu Zhongtian is indeed quite like Fabregas's stand-in.
Dealing with such a player, Chu Zhongtian sometimes has the feeling that he is dealing with himself.
Fabregas's only weakness is that he is not good enough physically, he is not too strong in confrontation and his header is not good.
Chu Zhongtian decided to start from this and deal with Fabregas.
When Cesc Fabregas received a pass from his teammates, Chu Zhongtian squeezed up to prevent him from turning easily, and at the same time rushed at him from behind, making him unable to control the ball.
Cesc Fabregas's footwork certainly doesn't throw away the ball with such a collision, but it allows him to spend more time adjusting the ball, so that by the time he regains control of the ball, Real Madrid's defense is basically finished, he can't find anything too good, and because he can't turn, he can only pass back and cross.
In order to enhance the effect of this defense, Chu Zhongtian did not hesitate to foul and make Fabregas suffer.
Van Persie passed the football to Cesc Fabregas, and Chu Zhongtian kicked Fabregas directly from behind this time, in the center circle, this was not a threatening attack, but Chu Zhongtian still did it. It can only be said one thing - he is warning Fabregas that there is no good fruit to eat when he encounters himself!
Cesc Fabregas was lying on the ground, clutching his heels, in some pain.
Chu Zhongtian stepped on it just now, and the spikes just hung on his heels, and now it was very painful, and he didn't know if the skin was broken and bleeding.
This kick is so ruthless...... It didn't seem like it was going to be a good game, even on your home turf......
