Chapter 18: The Champions League journey begins!

The signed article by the German newspaper Bild mentions a total of five names, predicts the fate of the two teams, and comments on the top management of the two clubs. As soon as the article came out, it sparked a discussion, even beating the first round of the Champions League group stage.

The newspaper described the article as "forward-looking", while Sport concluded that "Galliani did make a mistake, his judgment went awry and he was wrong when he thought that after winning the Champions League, Don would lack fighting spirit." ”

The British press dismissed the article as nonsense, with the Daily Telegraph saying, "Galliani is shrewd, he has made absolutely no mistakes, and he has earned 160 million." Mr. Calderón is the biggest loser, and time will tell! ”

The Guardian, Britain's largest newspaper, did not participate, and since the "scandal" verdict, they have rarely been involved in such ethereal debates. Johansen published a signed article in the World Sports Newspaper: The German newspaper Bild made a mistake, they think they are "prophets", there is no prophet in this world, the season has just begun, La Liga is not necessarily Real Madrid's, and Milan is not necessarily empty.

Numerous facts have proven that Galliani was shrewd, and after selling the French captain, he netted him 127 million. This time he is still shrewd, who can guarantee that Mr. 160 million will stay in San Siro and still maintain a strong fighting spirit? No one!

He has proven himself at the San Siro and no matter how he performs, Milan fans will love him. In San Siro he didn't have any pressure. Some people say that there is pressure to be motivated, and the Bernabeu is a new environment. The discerning Real Madrid fans put pressure on him, so Mr. 160 million was motivated.

The Bernabeu fans are some of the most discerning fans in the world, and there have been countless of the world's best stars who have lifted the ball on that pitch, and they have a discerning eye and a high level of excitement. The challenge that Mr. 160 million faced was what fueled his fighting spirit, which led to his hat-trick in three consecutive matches.

If Galliani keeps Mr. 160 million at the San Siro, it is very likely that the title "Mr. 160 million" will not appear, and Milan will not have the glory of last season. So Galliani made no mistake.

……

Amid the media debate, the first round of the Champions League group stage is about to begin. The team newspaper published its pre-match prediction on the day of the match: there is no match that will test Real Madrid more than the Champions League. The last three years. The crisis of Real Madrid FC has been faithfully reflected in the Champions League.

2004, 2005 and 2006. Real Madrid started their Champions League opener on the road three times, losing all three times. Fans and the Real Madrid dressing room vividly remember the fatal blow to the team after losing the first Champions League game.

0-3 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen. Lost 0-3 and 0-2 to Lyon. 8 goals conceded. Without scoring a single goal, Real Madrid today vowed to clean up the history of the past three seasons and the humiliation of the first round of matches by their opponents.

This time. Real Madrid play at home to the Bernabeu against Germany's Werder Bremen in the 300th Champions League match in the club's history, a figure far ahead of any European giant. The "White Legion" took this opportunity to create a new scene. Calderón spent $260 million this summer to build a new Real Madrid, and the Real Madrid players are confident of competing for the European Champions League.

Cannavaro, who has just turned 34, said it was time for Real Madrid to challenge for their 10th Champions League trophy: "Last season we didn't play well enough against some teams in the middle and lower tiers, now we have to be more clear-headed. The Real Madrid players are very motivated and at a good level, and I believe we have the quality to win the 10th trophy in the club's history this season. ”

One of the biggest changes for Real Madrid in this game is that Gago will start in place of the suspended Diarra, and Schuster has confirmed this, saying that Gago has all his trust. Diarra was sent off against Bayern Munich in last season's Champions League game and the ban extends into this season, so Gago will be in the midfield position he feels most comfortable with.

Schuster chose him because there really wasn't a better option in the midfield position, and because he was playing at home, Gago's passing and organisational skills would help the team's attack. 'Gago's going to start, I have all my trust in him and of course, I trust Diarra. We won't be able to lower the level with the changeovers, and the squad is strong enough to fully fill any gaps in the main squad. Gago will be the team's lone midfielder. ”

In addition, there is good news for Real Madrid, Ruud van Nistelrooy has finally recovered from his injury, and given the Dutchman's outstanding performances in the Champions League, he may be able to return to the starting line-up to replace the underperforming Thierry Henry and partner Don with the burden of attacking the city.

In terms of team form, Real Madrid and Bremen can be described as a heaven and earth. Real Madrid are in good form, winning three consecutive league games and scoring 16 goals in three games, and the new king of the Bernabeu, scoring a hat-trick in three consecutive games, is in good form. Before the game, some media questioned him, believing that the Champions League was the real test.

How will Don prove himself at the Bernabeu? We'll see.

In addition, Guti also became the passing king of La Liga with 126 accurate passes in 3 games. Schaff's side, on the other hand, are now in doubt, having lost 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund in the last round of the Bundesliga, and are currently only 13th in the Bundesliga. In addition, a number of key players are missing, with Frijns, Bolovski and Alberto not coming to Madrid, and the availability of the injured Mertesacker is still in doubt.

The key man in this game is still Don, and it is undeniable that he is in great form. In addition, this is also the time for him to prove himself and fight back against the questioning voice.

……

At 7:45 p.m. on September 18, Real Madrid welcomed Werder Bremen at the Bernabeu.

Two hours before the game, the managers of both sides announced the starting lists. Real Madrid: Goalkeeper: Casillas; Four defenders: Ramos, Cannavaro, Metzeld, Marcelo; Four midfielders: Ribery, Gago, Guti, Sneijder; Two strikers: Don, Henry.

Schaaf also sent a four-four-two formation. UEFA also announced the referee on duty: Englishman Vibo.

7:25 p.m. The players on both sides walked out of the players' tunnel with the caddies, and Tang Jue, who walked behind Real Madrid, was holding a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. Hearing the loud shouting, his eyes were almost silver-white, and Tang Jue exhaled a long breath.

The journey of the Champions League has begun, so here's the chance to prove yourself!

There is a banner on the south side of the stadium: 300 Champions League games, a new journey!

It's Real Madrid fans reminding the players on the pitch that we have a long history and a glorious past. And motivate them to create new brilliance for the team. 300 Champions League games. It is a proof that Real Madrid has become the most influential club in the world, and this number ranks first in the world today.

Antonini, the Spanish sports commentator, said into the microphone: "Calderón spent 260 million euros this summer to build the new Real Madrid. Calderón's purpose is to hope in his own hands. Let the number of Champions League games go from single digits to ten digits. He spent 160 million on it. Bought Don, who had an outstanding performance in the Champions League.

This is the number one striker in the world today. In three years of professional football, he scored a staggering 43 goals in the Champions League, ranking ninth in the Champions League scorers' list. No one knows that they will be able to surpass their predecessors in time. Ranked first in the world. He has helped Milan win two Champions League trophies in three Champions League appearances, and no one knows how many more Champions League trophies he will win.

Tonight is his first Champions League game for Real Madrid, and Real Madrid fans will be hoping that he can continue his great performances in the Champions League and help the team to victory.

Calderón's new Real Madrid have been strong in La Liga, winning three in a row, including two 6-0 victories, but tonight will be the real test for them. Don was the stronger and scored a hat-trick in all three games. There were doubts before the game, and the Catalan regional media believed that the success of La Liga does not mean anything, and the important thing is to look at the performance in the Champions League.

A new season, a new journey, and we hope that Real Madrid will make a difference in the Champions League this year and not disappoint the fans. ”

At 7:45, the Englishman Vibo blew the whistle, and the game officially began!

Rosenborg kicked the ball to the backfield, and Tang Jue and Thierry Henry quickly entered the Bremen half and began to press. The Bremen defenders didn't have too many passes and quickly moved the ball up front and started attacking.

Real Madrid fans on the sidelines began to sing the team anthem "Come on! Madrid!

"The honor of shaking the whole of Spain

Real Madrid is coming to you

They carried white flags

That's the symbol of a great club

We give our hearts to you

You have brought us countless legends

We are always filled with reverence and passion

Look up to the laurels that are on your head, Madrid!

Come on, Madrid!

You are a symbol of nobility and dignity

You are a knight of honor

Come on, Madrid!

Come on, Madrid!

Go all out to win

Defend your noble white

Come on, Madrid!

Come on, Madrid! ”

In the heroic and sonorous singing, the Real Madrid players actively scrambled, and soon snatched the football down and launched a tidal attack. In the hearts of Real Madrid players, there is only one goal tonight, which is to defeat the opponent and let the 300th Champions League game of Jiji Madrid end with victory!

Real Madrid's attack continued to start from the left, with Franck Ribery delivering a quality cross in the third minute. Tang Jue half sideways to get the ball, suddenly spun with Paris, and shook off Naldo next to him to look for a shot. Bremen's defenders, knowing who the most dangerous figure of Real Madrid was, quickly formed an encirclement around Tang Jue.

It was like falling into a swamp, and it was difficult to move an inch, but Tang Jue had no fear in his eyes, and suddenly accelerated and dribbled the ball horizontally. Mertesacker moves his position quickly, always keeping himself between the ball and the goal. The encirclement formed by the other three players quickly closed, like a fisherman trying to close the net! (To be continued......)
