Chapter 383: In a Good Mood, Teasing Mourinho
A team like Real Madrid actually hopes to play against a giant like Barcelona after the international break, because everyone has a large number of international players, and no one takes advantage of the fatigue.
On the other hand, the biggest headache is meeting the next-level strong teams. Although there are some national teams, most of them are marginal and will not be affected much by the international match day. It's not easy to fight under normal circumstances, but it happens to be when you're most tired, and it's really troublesome.
Today's Valencia is such a troublesome team, in the 13th round of La Liga in the 2011-12 season, at the Mestalla Stadium.
Fortunately for Zhuo Yang, he only played the first half against Singapore. He was replaced by Jay Shuai after 3:0 was decided, but players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Casillas, Ramos, Marcelo, and Benzema , Detu, Eyan, Helian, etc., all played two games for ninety minutes. Kaká has also been re-elected to the Brazilian national team. However, because Brazil is the host country, it does not need to participate in the qualifiers. There are no other major competitions in South America recently, so it is good to play friendly matches.
Spain is barely a big country on the world political map, but its land area is not large, and it is slightly larger than Sichuan General. La Liga games are basically scheduled to be played in the evening, so now when most teams go to away games, they fly there in the morning and fly back directly after the game in the evening to disband.
La Liga is more humane than Serie A. There is no provision for collective accommodation the night before the game. This may also be a very important factor in the decline of Serie A. Therefore, Kou Kou's perception of La Liga is much better than Serie A.
When the team gathered in Valdebebas in the morning, Mourinho announced the starting lineup. Seeing that he was not among them, Zhuoyang asked Mourinho mysteriously: "Jose, do you think this is the case? Since I’m a substitute, otherwise I wouldn’t go?”
Mourinho's eyes were as sharp as a knife: "What? Do you have any objections to being a substitute?"
"No objection, absolutely no objection! I believe that you and your teammates will be able to win Valencia with ease. As for me, don't waste two tickets to the club. Hehe~"
"Zhuoyang! Your request is very..."
"Look, I just said this. If you don't agree, you don't agree. Why are you so embarrassed, Jose? Hey, let me tell you, do you really want to stop thinking about it?"
Mourinho: "You..."
Mourinho suddenly realized something was wrong, and the players looked at Zhuo Yang with interest, their eyes full of ambiguity and teasing. Then, he remembered that Zhuo Yang's famous princess girlfriend had just come back in the past two days. This guy was a little better off than a newlywed.
Zhuo Yang still had a playful smile. "It's okay, Jose, it's okay if you don't agree, hehe, just Jiang." After saying that, he patted his shoulder in a friendly manner.
Mourinho has no clue at all. He knows that Zhuo Yang is not serious, but he can't turn against him casually, nor can he deal with it by being unfair. He doesn't have this skill. Alas, Uncle Bird sighed in his heart: I don’t know how the six of them can become brothers!
Mourinho has coached Scar and Meng Er, and now Zhuo Yang. In his opinion, Scar, who looks cold and hard, is the easiest thing to deal with. As long as he feels the pulse accurately, he will immediately throw himself on the ground without even using a spoon.
Meng Er is a kind of person who looks like a fake girl on the outside, but is actually a complete mess on the inside. If you feed him the broth like you give Scar, he can pick up the basin and put it on your head. In the two years at Inter Milan, the second brother never gave Mourinho a good look, but Mourinho was frustrated.
Zhuoyang is gentle and harmless on the surface, but in fact he is as cunning as a child's butt covered with shower gel. Mourinho is not used to this characteristic of being familiar with him, because it means that he has no sense of awe for you in his bones. Of course, this is just Mourinho's opinion.
Zhuoyang is in a good mood! In the past two days, I have seen him grinning from ear to ear, and talking to everyone like a Maitreya Buddha.
Because of his happiness, the sports city feels like spring breeze in this cold season of late autumn.
After being naughty with Mourinho, Zhuo Yang ran over to warmly hug Varane and greet him, completely forgetting that he had people rolling around two days ago.
In fact, Zhuoyang knew that he couldn't go if he didn't go. He just wanted to tease Mourinho. Kaka, Detu, Carvalho, and Coentrao are all not feeling well after being brought back from the national team. They cannot go to the away game today. In addition, Alonso's toe injury has not healed yet. If Zhuo Yang does not go, there will be no one. .
Coming to the Mestalla Stadium, Real Madrid's starting double midfielders are Khedira and Granero. Esteban Granero is not young anymore. He is the same age as He Lian. He is a product of Real Madrid’s youth training with a promising career. He performed very well when he was loaned to Getafe in the past few years, but after returning to Real Madrid, his sense of presence has disappeared. Not very strong. Today is his first start this season and his first appearance.
Zhuo Yang and Altintop sat on the bench to serve as substitutes for the two above. Therefore, the talkative Zhuo Yang couldn't stop at all. He kept chatting with Altintop in German with excitement and buzzing, which made Mourinho even more excited. Austria was so fed up that he still didn't understand, so he had to go out and stand on the sidelines gesticulating.
The game seemed to start well for Real Madrid, who took the lead in the 19th minute.
Marcelo was knocked down by Jeremy Mathieu in midfield and the referee awarded a free kick. Khedira showed off his power. He passed the entire Valencia defense with a long pass. Benzema succeeded in countering offside. After removing the ball with his left foot, he switched to his right foot and sent the ball into the goal, 1:0.
The start was ideal, and it was not difficult to deal with after that. The two sides had a very smooth tug-of-war, which was very lively. Khedira received a pass from Ronaldo and scored, but was ruled offside. When Pepe made a clearance in the penalty area, it was also suspected of handball, but the referee did not take it into account.
Real Madrid ended the first half with an almost steady 1:0 lead. During the intermission, Zhuo Yang, Da Top and a group of substitutes stayed in the field to warm up. They continued to chat while warming up. At this time, the night sky in Valencia was windless and cloudless, and there was no sign that the sky would change.
However, things changed in the second half.
‘Wind’ is Pablo Hernandez, a non-mainstream Spanish winger. He is said to be non-mainstream because compared to the delicate foot skills of traditional Spanish wingers, Hernandez is very rough. He is good at passing at a speed that is not common in La Liga, and is more like a British winger. He is as fast as the wind is.
The ‘cloud’ is Roberto Soldado, a Castilla native who was at Real Madrid for ten years, although he left at the age of 23. Rumor has it that there are four major teams in today's football: Arsenal's injured players, Chelsea's loanees, Bayern's substitutes, and Real Madrid's abandoned players. Soldado is such a cloud abandoned by Real Madrid.
The Second Envoy of Fengyun will not be the protagonist of the story, but he will definitely become an outstanding troublemaker.
