Chapter 960: Situation
The media hyped up the love-hate relationship between Sneijder and Real Madrid, and Robinho was not let go by the media. He was not very happy when he left Real Madrid, he was in the same situation as Sneijder, the players themselves wanted to stay at Real Madrid, but Real Madrid did not want to stay, so they were all kicked out.
Now that you meet Real Madrid again, if you want to say that you don't have any grudge against your old club, it is impossible.
So in this game, there are two Avengers against Real Madrid, Sneijder and Robinho.
In addition, the media is still hyping up the feud between Glory and Real Madrid.
Although this is already a cold rice, Rongguang has not met Real Madrid for a long time, so this encounter, even if it is fried cold rice, there are people who eat it.
Speaking of the feud between Glory and Real Madrid, it has to start with when Glory played at Bayern Munich......
It was Rongguang's second Champions League appearance, and he met Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
Real Madrid were not in a good situation at the time, starting to be suppressed by Barcelona in the league and their only hope was the Champions League.
As a result, Glory scored a solo run at the Bernabeu to give Bayern Munich a 1-0 away win over Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's defeat in this game directly led to Florentino's downfall, and his ouster also marked the beginning of the collapse of the original glorious Galactic Battleship.
The battleship that was almost invincible back then was sunk by a bullet from this kid of Glory, which is really embarrassing.
Calderón then announced his candidacy for the presidency of Real Madrid, and his campaign promise was to bring glory to Real Madrid fans.
He hopes to seduce the votes of Real Madrid members with glory.
However, his plan did not succeed, because Glory publicly rejected Calderón, which made Calderón make a big joke, and the wolf was unbearable, and almost ruined Calderón's chairmanship.
When Calderón came to power, he never talked about buying glory again.
At the height of his glory, he did not make such a promise.
It seems that Calderón has made a bond with Glory.
He would rather buy Cristiano Ronaldo for 80 million pounds than be interested in glory.
In this way, Real Madrid Club has a grudge against the president and glory of the two clubs......
So in fact, this game is not Glory seeking revenge against Real Madrid, but Real Madrid seeking revenge against Glory.
Coupled with the fact that this Real Madrid team now has Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka, the story between them and glory is definitely indispensable.
Therefore, in the media before the game, the grudge between Glory and Real Madrid took up more space than Sneijder and Robinho.
A reporter asked Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka what they thought of Manchester City's current appearance.
“…… Manchester City have won two in a row in the Champions League and are unbeaten in the league, and they are currently top of their group and top of the league, and they also beat Manchester United in the city derby......"
Cristiano Ronaldo interrupted reporters' questions: "It has nothing to do with our game. This match is a contest between Real Madrid and Manchester City, and it does not involve Bayern Munich or Manchester United......"
Kaka nodded beside him: "Yes." ”
'This game is our home stadium and we will definitely beat Manchester City,' the Portuguese continued.
Kaka glanced at his teammate next to him, then smiled and nodded, "That's right. ”
It's completely a husband-and-wife posture.
The two of them have a good relationship, and they were heroes when they played for Manchester United and AC Milan.
This is especially true after coming to Real Madrid.
It is also said that there are also rumors that Kaka first transferred to Real Madrid, and then took the initiative to propose to the club's president, Florentino, hoping that Real Madrid would also buy Cristiano Ronaldo.
Of course, Real Madrid and Manchester United have already reached an agreement, so the Portuguese transfer was soon announced.
At that time, everyone expected Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka to rub sparks at Real Madrid and form a golden pair.
But it's a pity that after these two people teamed up, they didn't bring any good results to Real Madrid......
※※※
Glory did not respond to the words of Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo in interviews.
He didn't bother to reply, there was no point in fighting a war of words. Let's beat them on the pitch.
Sneijder, on the other hand, was aggressive.
In an interview with reporters, he said that he couldn't wait to return to the Bernabeu.
"There's my teammates there, and some ...... You get the idea. ”
Sneijder has not hidden his hostility towards Real Madrid.
※※※
For Real Madrid, this match is even more important.
Because in the previous two Champions League group games, Real Madrid did not win a single game!
It sounds incredible – how can a team like Real Madrid go without a win in the first two rounds of the Champions League group stage? You must know that Real Madrid is the team that has won the most Champions League in European football.
But that's just the way it is, in the first round of the Champions League group stage, they host Bordeaux, the third team in the group.
Everyone thinks Real Madrid will win at home.
But the result?
Real Madrid were forced to draw 1:1 at home by Bordeaux!
Real Madrid didn't win.
In the second round, Real Madrid challenged Bayern Munich away.
Historically, it has been difficult for Real Madrid to play away from home against a German team, let alone a German team that lost in the first round.
So in the end, Real Madrid lost 1-2 away to Bayern Munich.
After two rounds of group play, only one point is accumulated...... Such an achievement is too much to say.
Manuel Pellegrino, the Chilean coach, suddenly felt a lot of pressure on his head.
This game against Manchester City must be won, if it can't be won, Real Madrid will not say anything to compete with Bayern Munich for the first place in the group, and it will be difficult to even qualify from the group!
※※※
“…… Real Madrid are under a lot of pressure right now because they have been unable to win the Champions League......"
In my hotel room, a Spanish TV show was playing on the TV, analysing the upcoming Champions League matches.
Sneijder snorted when he heard this.
As someone who has been abandoned by Real Madrid, it is really happy to see the predicament of Real Madrid now......
What happened this summer is nothing short of a shame for him.
He was deprived of his number by Real Madrid and denied registration...... He is the core of the midfield of the Dutch national team, when did he get mixed up like this?
So even if I used to have feelings for Real Madrid, I have long been tortured by such a method and have nothing left.
He stared at Florentino on the TV screen, his hands clenched into fists.
※※※
“…… Given the current situation at Real Madrid, there are Real Madrid fan groups who are already calling for everyone to come and cheer for the team, and this game against Manchester City is very important...... It is said that the Bernabeu will turn into a sea of white and a hell of ...... for the visiting team"
Benitez turned off the television.
This is the point that worries him very much.
Because of the winless in the previous two rounds, Real Madrid will definitely attach great importance to this game, and there is no possibility of underestimating the enemy.
Secondly, playing in such a terrible stadium will also bring some psychological shadows to the players, which will affect the players' performance to a greater or lesser extent.
So Benitez didn't dare to hope that in this game, Manchester City could still win.
He believes that as long as he can draw with Real Madrid away, it will already be a "victory" worth celebrating.
※※※
Benitez's fears were justified, and when the next day's matchday arrived, the streets around the Bernabeu Stadium were filled with Real Madrid fans from the afternoon.
Dressed in white jerseys, they gathered and waited for the game to start.
It looked like the whole Madrid fans were there.
By the time the Real Madrid bus reached a kilometre away from the stadium, it had to slow down because the fans were already rushing to the road.
The fans were waving their arms and scarves at the bus in a way of showing their support for Real Madrid.
They stepped up when the team needed their support the most.
Real Madrid can no longer ask their fans to do more.
The Spanish TV station transmitted the scene back, and the host in the rear said excitedly: "Look at this scene!" I thought it was the final! With such fan support, why can't the team win?! ”
With the Champions League final at the Bernabeu this season, Real Madrid's wishful thinking is to reach the Champions League final this season and lift their tenth trophy on their home turf – a flawless tenth crown!
As a result, I didn't expect that only two rounds of the group stage were played, and Real Madrid didn't win a game......
Out of the line shì has become precarious.
※※※
Later, Manchester City's buses also arrived at the stadium, and they saw the surging crowd of Real Madrid fans on their way.
This is what Real Madrid fans are waiting for them on purpose, just to show them, put pressure on them, and let them know that this away game is not easy to play!
When the Manchester City bus appeared, these Real Madrid fans waved their Real Madrid scarves and let out a deafening shout.
Trying to create some pressure on the Manchester City fans.
The Manchester City players in the car were indeed taken aback when they saw this scene.
It was just a group stage, and they didn't expect the fans of Real Madrid to be so grand......
Benitez couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.
The Real Madrid fans are so united, which is not a good thing for Manchester City.
Rong Guang was also quite surprised - aren't Real Madrid fans all wallgrass? If Real Madrid is good, cheer, if Real Madrid is bad, shout? Why are you so united today?
