Chapter 54: The Richest Player of All Time!
After the Champions League group stage, the draw ceremony for the round of 16 was held, and Real Madrid's opponent was Roma of Italy. Roma reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season and were knocked out by Manchester United. At Old Trafford, they were humiliated by Manchester United who scored seven goals.
Roma's biggest achievement last season was at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, ending Milan's 29-game winning streak, and at the end of the season, Torino Sport newspaper thought the game was great, otherwise Milan would even have to create a myth that no one could break - all 38 Serie A games!
The quarter-finals begin on 20 February, before which Real Madrid will play five La Liga matches. The devil's training during the winter break came with the aftermath of Real Madrid's first game after the winter break, when they were held to a 2-2 draw away by Atletico Madrid. Barcelona, on the other hand, won at home to Racing Santander to close the gap between the two teams to five points.
In the second game, Real Madrid's form was still sluggish, and they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by the yellow submarine Villarreal. Barcelona won away at Athletic Bilbao to close the gap to three points.
Real Madrid drew two games in a row, while their opponents won two games in a row, and the Catalan regional media praised Barcelona, "Barcelona have made great strides to get closer to Real Madrid, they have a chance to win the La Liga title!" β
Messi scored four goals in those two games and became the focus of their praise: "At the World Footballer of the Year ceremony last month, Messi received the trophy for third place from Maradona. At that time, many Argentine media shouted that Messi was the future new generation of Argentine football kings. β
"Messi scored four goals in the two games after the winter break. He is using his good form to tell the world that he is making great strides! β
Of course, the Catalan regional media will not let go of such a good opportunity and lashed out at Tang Jue: "After winning the World Footballer of the Year for a second time, the football tyrant seems to have lost motivation and failed to lead Real Madrid to victory after the resumption of the war." Only one goal was scored in two games, and the ball dominate fell into a slump. β
"During the winter break, the ball boss had a war of words with Sky Sports, saying that he was still strong at a low ebb. We're going to ask him now - how strong are you? β
"BarΓ§a's soldiers. Now is the time for you to sound the trumpet. Keep up the form, surpass the points, and make the big words at the beginning of the season a joke! β
The British media has not issued a farewell, and the Daily Telegraph said: The ball boss has encountered a cold winter. The state is sluggish. Wasted chances on multiple occasions in the game. If it weren't for Casillas' outstanding performance, Real Madrid might not even have won a draw. The words of the winter break are still ringing in our ears, "I'm going to tell these people. Even if I'm at a low ebb, I'm stronger than others! β
God, is he really stronger than others? Real Madrid have won two in a row against La Liga's main rivals, Barcelona, to close the gap to three points. Messi scored four goals in those two games, while the ball lord had only one. Is he stronger than Messi?
The Madrid regional media defended Real Madrid, and the newspaper Ace commented: Schuster did a physical training session during the winter break, which is a practice with an eye on the whole season. Now they are in a period of recovery, it is normal to get two draws and Real Madrid will get better and better.
Real Madrid general manager Valdano also spoke up for the team: "We will not just focus on the present, we will aim for the whole season. The current downturn is for the later outbreak, and we will get better and better. β
Johansen countered: The support of the media in the Madrid region and the Real Madrid hierarchy is pale. Their team will continue to decline, continue to fall into the slump, and the facts will prove me right.
Voices from the outside put tremendous pressure on Real Madrid, and there were discordant voices within the team at this time, casting a shadow on the team.
Ruud van Nistelrooy criticised Tang Jue in the dressing room, "Not playing the role of a team leader. He believes that Schuster should put Don Jue on the bench to reflect.
Tang Jue knew the reason why he was not in good shape, on the one hand, it was the sequelae left by physical training, and he was still in the recovery period. On the other hand, the company is about to go public, and he wants to command it remotely, which distracts part of his energy.
Being criticized by the outside world made him feel bad, and now he is being criticized by his teammates, for which he and Ruud van Nistelrooy quarreled in the dressing room. There was another quarrel in the dressing room, which had just been calm, and the royal horse was worried.
The sound of the quarrel here has not fallen, and the voice of complaining over there has risen. Robinho complained in the dressing room that he had played too little and made a transfer request to the club's hierarchy. After Schuster took charge of Real Madrid, Robinho's chances of playing did decrease a lot, and Tang Jue and Henry occupied the position of the main striker.
There are many stories in the dressing rooms of the giants, and most of them end in tragedy. After a careful assessment, the Real Madrid hierarchy told Robinho that it was okay to transfer, and that the transfer ceremony would be launched immediately after the season. Real Madrid's high-level approach is not humane, which makes Robinho extremely sad.
Tang Jue also saw the ruthlessness of Real Madrid's top management from this matter, which is different from Milan, at least Milan will express its intention to stay. As if he smelled something, Fanny began to pay attention to his words and actions.
Since then, there have been fewer quarrels in the locker room, but more indifference, and everyone is at risk.
β¦β¦
As the temperature began to rise in February, Real Madrid's form began to pick up, and in the round of 22, they finally won their first game since the winter break, beating Almeria 1-0 away. In the 25th minute of the second half, Ribery received a pass from Tang Jue and fired a low shot from the left side of the penalty area to help Real Madrid win.
After the game, Tang Jue was once again criticized by the Catalan regional media, and the World Sports newspaper said: The ball bully was very active in this game, but still did not find the crosshairs, and his shot was either out of the way or in the arms of the goalkeeper. The rest of Real Madrid's players showed signs of recovery in this game and they were also a guarantee of the team's victory.
The ball bully was ruthlessly replaced by Schuster in the 29th minute of the second half, indicating that the Real Madrid coach has been disappointed in the 160 million gentleman. At the post-match press conference. Schuster's speech confirms this view, "Don has been in a bad state lately, and he needs to sum up. β
When the media asked, "Will you start him in the next game?" The Real Madrid boss replied: "The next game is the next game, it depends on how well he is in training sessions. It is not excluded that he should sit on the bench. β
Putting the ball on the bench is worse than killing him. We asked the Real Madrid manager, do you want him to direct the game when you put the ball on the bench?
β¦β¦
Johansen's pen was sharp, not only mocking Tang Jue, but also Schuster.
Marca reported for Don: "The match against Almeria. The goal was scored by Ribery though. But Ribery's goal came from a pass from Don. So we can't erase his credit for this victory! β
In an interview with As, Tang Jue said: "The current form is not good because I have left my form in the upcoming Champions League games. Compared to La Liga, the Champions League appeals to me more. β
Johansen immediately ridiculed Tang Jue: "The football dominates La Liga and is not in good shape. Made a good excuse. He left his form in the Champions League. Oh, God. The ball bully finally admitted in front of the media that he was not in good shape. This is the player's fourth professional season, and it is also the first time in his four-year career that he has publicly admitted that he is not in good form. What does this mean? It shows that the situation of the ball master is very bad now. β
"There's a reason for the bad form of the ball bully, his mind is no longer on the pitch. Last week, a French pharmaceutical company was listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, and Alice, the girlfriend of the ball tyrant, is the chairman of the company. On the day of the company's IPO, the company's share price tripled to $41 and is now rising, reaching $60. β
"We found out from the company's public information that Qiuba is one of the majority shareholders of this company, with 19% of the shares, ranking second, and the first place is his girlfriend, Alice has 23% of the shares. In other words, this pharmaceutical company belongs to the two of them. β
"Based on the conversion of stock prices into assets, the assets of the football tyrant reached $2.1 billion. In this way, the ball bully became the richest player in history. So he lost his fighting spirit on the football field, because he was a rich man, and rich people take care of their bodies. β
"Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that the football tyrant has lost interest in football and he is focusing on making money. Real Madrid fans, wake up, the number one star in your heart is a rich man, he will not fight for you! β
Since it is an opponent, Johansen has been following the news of Tang Jue and Alice. Economic news, which had nothing to do with football, did not let it go. In this way, Tang Jue never wanted the outside world to know about his company, and was poked out by Johansen.
He had already found out about the listing of Longteng Company, and he was waiting for the opportunity to announce the news. Tang Jue's rebuttal made him come up with a killer idea!
As soon as Johansen's report came out, it caused a shock in the football world, and people were shocked and doubted its authenticity. The Daily Telegraph confirmed the news: our reporter found evidence on the company's website, Alice is the chairman of the company, and Qiu Ba is the second largest shareholder of the company, and the third largest shareholder of the company is also very interesting, it is one of the protagonists of last year's scandal - Wen from China. β
The Chinese woman, who now teaches at Lyon II, is the head of the company's technical department. We are very skeptical about the relationship between her and the ball tyrant, is there really a clean relationship between them? β
It is said that this young woman from China comes from a wealthy family, and her father is a successful real estate developer in China. The ball bully has a vision, and the women who are close to him are not only rich, but also beautiful. β
As for Alice, she is rumored to be close to a large Spanish family. This family is one of the richest in Spain. It is reported that Alice's funds came from that family. β
Tang Jue knew that since this matter had been exposed by others, he could no longer hide it, and in an interview with Marca Daily, he said: "What the media reported is not wrong, I am the majority shareholder of that company. But that's not the reason for my recent slump, the winter break was a lot of physical training and I'm still recovering. The team is not in good shape, and that's why we're going to get better and better. β
As soon as the report of the Marca newspaper was published, the whole world shook, two billion billion, God, what is this concept?
Real Madrid fans are talking, maybe Johansen has a point, Don's energy is focused on making money...... So, the so-called La Liga and the Champions League, that ...... Maybe there won't be......
A wave of disappointment hung over Real Madrid's supporters. Differing opinions flood the media. Opponents and supporters engaged in a war of words. (To be continued......)
