Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man! - Chapter 397

c397 Perfectly avoid all the correct options!

During this time, Barcelona, ​​which had always been at odds with the Franco government, achieved success on all fronts – the Red and Blue Army won 5 league titles and 4 cup titles.

You know, just one year after the 1:11 defeat to Real Madrid, Barcelona successfully won the league cup. If Franco really wanted to suppress Barcelona, ​​why would he allow such a thing to happen?

In this regard, many fans who support the “Franco threat theory” have put forward a new point of view – Franco does not care about Real Madrid’s performance, he just wants to humiliate Barcelona.

As mentioned above, Franco has no real interest in football, and what he did after taking power was more for political purposes.

Therefore, when Barcelona, ​​the name card of Catalonia, was in the limelight, Franco wanted to humiliate it through a double-digit victory. When his goal was achieved, it was no longer important whether Real Madrid won the championship or revived. This is also an important reason why Real Madrid still has no championship in the following years, while Barcelona has won honors frequently.

Open the official website of Real Madrid, in the introduction of the team in the 1940s, the 11:1 victory over Barcelona is still the focus of the introduction:

“In the first leg, Real Madrid lost 0:3 away. In the second leg, Real Madrid returned to the home court and advanced to the final with a hearty victory. The score at home was 11:1.”

Time has passed, and most of the parties involved in this incident have passed away. It has become increasingly difficult to find the truth. Later generations can only try to find the truth from the words of the parties involved.

But whether the tragedy came from Franco’s threat or the complete defeat in competition, when looking back at the history of the Spanish national derby, this 11:1 is still an unavoidable object for both sides.

But from another perspective, despite the confusion, this 11:1 has returned to dust after all.

80 years have passed, and Real Madrid and Barcelona have experienced their own ups and downs, but have always remained in the top ranks of world football.

To this day, the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona is still one of the most talked-about derbies in Spanish football and even in world football.

Under appropriate circumstances, it is better to forget the complicated entanglements in history and enjoy the real fun of football.

Real Madrid is a business card of Spain in the world. Spain only needs the club “Real Madrid” to belong to Spain. Within the team, non-Spanish players can not only become the top players, but also let the local help the international helpers.

In other words, foreign players are more likely to “stand out” in Real Madrid and become the boss and top player of the team.

Of course, all this did not fall from the sky. Without Florentino’s first time in charge of Real Madrid, building the Galaxy Fleet and shaping Real Madrid into Spain’s national business card, it would not be so easy for Real Madrid to “de-localize”.

However, even so, Real Madrid has experienced a long period of pain. Raul, Casillas and Ramos were driven away to have today’s Real Madrid.

The biggest difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is that Barcelona is a business card for the Catalans.

Barcelona must reuse local players. If there are Catalan players who can be the main force in Barcelona, ​​they must be supported as the top players. If there are no Catalan players who can be reused, they must support local Spaniards who came from La Masia youth training. It is best if they can speak fluent Catalan during interviews.

In the eyes of the “independence” Catalans, Barcelona is not only a club, but also the best prop to gather the national pride and self-confidence of Catalans.

Barcelona must not only win, but also win under the leadership of Catalans (La Masia youth training is the second best).

International players are always mercenaries in Barcelona, ​​unless the player learns Catalan and marries a Catalan girl.

To sum up:

As long as Real Madrid is not controlled by foreign capital, it can always take the international route and embellish a few local players;

Barcelona is different. It must take the local route. If there are no Catalans, it must have its own people from La Masia youth training as leaders.

Therefore, the competition within Real Madrid is relatively fair, and the principle of “capable people go up, mediocre people go down” can be basically implemented.

There are natural level differences within the Barcelona team. As long as the midfielders are not master players at the level of Zidane and Tintin, everyone’s appearance order must be behind Pedri and Gavi.

Until Barcelona has a Catalan first-team midfielder who came from La Masia youth training.

Starting from Pedri, all midfielders have to be ranked behind him in the order of appearance.

Looking back at the entire history of Spanish football, you will be surprised to find that before Cruyff came to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona’s status in Spain may not be as good as Athletic Bilbao, while Real Madrid was already full of honors at that time, with 6 Champions League titles in hand, and had long been the pearl of world football.

It had the best players at the time, Puskas, the golden arrow Di Stefano, and Cruyff’s arrival was around 1974. He was the top star in football at the time and the first person in Europe. This level of signings has lagged behind Real Madrid for 20 years. Cruyff (as a coach) truly reshaped Barcelona.

Barcelona has truly become a Spanish team that can compete with Real Madrid.

Cruyff coached Barcelona for about 6 years from 1989 to 1995, and it was during his coaching period that Barcelona won the Champions League for the first time. It can be said that Barcelona was not as good as Benfica in Europe at that time from the perspective of the Champions League, and was a younger brother in front of Ajax.

Cruyff came to Barcelona to coach and help Barcelona with technology. After the efforts of several Dutch coaches and players, Barcelona formed a fixed style of play.

The Dutch top players, including Van Gaal and Rijkaard, De Boer, Kluivert, Van Bronckhorst, etc., made Barcelona a giant.

Only then did they have the capital to attract Ronaldinho to Barcelona.

Finally, they welcomed a god like Messi.

So the temperament of Barcelona is essentially the temperament of Dutch coaches.

They advocate offense, play in a big way, and would rather die standing than live lying down.

Of course, Barcelona after Guardiola belongs to passing and controlling, but the previous Barcelona was all high-handed and high-handed, and Real Madrid’s temperament is that of a rich and noble son, just like an aristocrat, with nobleness in every move.

To be honest, no matter how good you are at playing football, if you are not handsome and have a bad image, it is difficult for Real Madrid to get into the eyes of Real Madrid, so Rivaldo and Ronaldinho can’t come to Real Madrid.

Including Makelele, who was in the first period of the Galaxy Battleship, was also sent to the Premier League.

Real Madrid’s signings are all players with aristocratic atmosphere, such as Raul, Beckham, and later C Ronaldo, etc. This is the temperament of these two teams, both with distinct personalities, and these two teams have the most fans in the world.

Why has Ronaldo not won the Ballon d’Or, the World Player of the Year, and the European Golden Boot Award since he left Real Madrid in 2018?

In 2018, everyone knew that the Ballon d’Or went to Modric, and Ronaldo was also in Real Madrid. He played in the final but didn’t score.

But we can see that when Ronaldo received the award, when he passed by Florentino, he felt that the two of them were no longer as close as before.

After leaving Real Madrid, Ronaldo also made some remarks that “the 2018 Ballon d’Or should be given to Ronaldo.”

Why in the third year of Real Madrid’s three consecutive championships, fans felt that Modric’s role was very important and Real Madrid’s midfield was very important?

It is that fans really discovered that if a team succeeds in the Champions League in a season, it may be the extraordinary performance of one or two offensive players that allows the team to reach the height that originally belonged to him.

But in 2016, we all know that Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid played a penalty shootout in the final. In the 2017 Champions League final, Ronaldo played well, which was also Ronaldo’s best performance in the Champions League final.

When Real Madrid won the Champions League three times in a row in 2018, fans began to calmly think about a question, is the platform too strong?

If the midfield is too strong, then the focus must be on Modric, the core of the ceremony’s three midfielders.

Especially since 2018 is still the World Cup year, many fans began to say that 2018 is the World Cup year, and 2010 is also the World Cup year, and they began to talk about Sneijder and Modric.

Remember that Sneijder’s role in Inter Milan and the role he played in the Dutch national team in the World Cup are far less shocking than Modric brought us.

Before 2018, the size of the Croatian national team and the size of the uncrowned king of the Netherlands, including the level of the players owned by the two teams, were different.

Before the beginning of 2018, no one was optimistic about Croatia. Why did Modric’s performance in the national team after Real Madrid won the Champions League make everyone’s eyes light up instantly, like opening a new world?

Before, Real Madrid might be full of stars, but Modric himself was relatively low-key. The functions or skills he possessed might make fans feel that in Real Madrid, due to the stars, the attention was not particularly high.

But what really made fans start to examine Modric was the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where his performance in the midfield conquered everyone.

In 2018, everyone knew that Ronaldo did not score in the Champions League final. He played well against Spain in the World Cup group stage, but was eliminated by Uruguay after qualifying.

In the knockout stage, Ronaldo still did not score. Even though Ronaldo had the Champions League in 2018 and scored a lot of goals, his performance in the World Cup final combined the performance of the two events. Modric was the undisputed first in 2018. It was a natural thing for him to win the Golden Ball and the World Player of the Year.

Now the focus of discussion is why Ronaldo missed the Golden Ball after leaving Real Madrid?

In fact, the platform of Juventus and Serie A is not at the same level as Real Madrid, which is why after Ronaldo left, Real Madrid still has two players who can continue to win the Ballon d’Or, namely Modric and Benzema.

In addition to the different size of the club, Ronaldo’s personal performance is also very important. The winner of the Ballon d’Or in 2019 was Messi, but Messi did not win the Champions League that year.

Messi’s performance that year was a historical phenomenon “19 Messi”, which is beyond doubt.

When Ronaldo went to Juventus, I also admit that he was a big hit in Juventus. Although the efficiency of scoring goals is another matter, the overall competitiveness of Serie A was generally weak at that time.

When the 33-year-old Ronaldo joined Juventus, his physical condition was still very good at that time. It was relatively difficult to play some high-end games, but there were almost no high-end games in Serie A.

Juventus is far ahead of other Serie A teams, including Inter Milan and AC Milan, which are generally not competitive enough. Occasionally, teams like Atalanta, Napoli, Lazio and Roma can pose some challenges to Juventus in bits and pieces.

But as long as Juventus’s high pressure comes out, these teams have no resistance to Juventus. The competitiveness of the entire Serie A team is weak, and Juventus’ strength is much higher than other teams.

After C Ronaldo joined Juventus, he maintained a relatively impressive and eye-catching goal data, which is limited to the scope of Serie A. When a super striker joins, the good operation of the entire team feels a bit split.

Before Juventus played as a whole, it was still competitive in the Champions League before C Ronaldo came. After C Ronaldo came, there was no problem in Serie A, but there was a problem in the Champions League.

The biggest advantage of Juventus is the big whole, using the whole to crush you, but entering the Champions League knockout stage, Juventus’s goal attribute integrity is not as solid as before because of C Ronaldo in the front.

There are gaps, there are loopholes, and there are weak points. C Ronaldo has led the team in Juventus for three consecutive years, but has not played a brilliant result in the Champions League, and has not made a breakthrough in the Champions League. It is difficult to impact the first-class individual awards in international football based on the data in Serie A alone.

In the remaining years, Ronaldo gradually drifted away from these top awards. After Ronaldo left Juventus, his career ushered in a sharp turning point.

After leaving Juventus, Ronaldo ushered in a turning point, and at the same time, he said goodbye to the first-class awards in football. Why?

Leaving Real Madrid, a super-large club, it is too difficult to make a name for himself outside. Juventus is not enough to support Ronaldo, and Ronaldo is not enough to lead the team to a higher level.

In Juventus, even if the goal data is okay, although the efficiency is not high, it is completely goodbye to the first-class world awards.

At this time, many fans began to question why Messi did not win the Champions League after 2015, but could win three Golden Balls?

Messi did not win the Champions League after 2015, but won three Golden Balls. The biggest difference is Messi’s personal, superb team-leading ability is fully reflected.

Let’s not talk about Messi in 2019. When the size of the club is not enough to support you to reach a certain height, but your personal ability can lead the team to a higher level.

Clubs such as Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain all had their own problems, but Messi was not affected by the clubs, and his level of ability remained at a very high point.

That is to say, after Messi had more or less problems in these clubs, Messi maintained his super high level.

Achieving great success in the national team in 2021 and 2022 is the biggest difference between Messi and Ronaldo. Messi does not have to rely on the team. The platform and the team are not very good. Messi has a super strong integration ability.

But Ronaldo needs the platform team to be integrated well, and then Ronaldo can be embedded there so that he can be combat-effective. If Ronaldo comes to this platform or team, the team is not integrated well and Ronaldo does not have the integration ability.

This is why Ronaldo did not win the Golden Ball Award or any top personal honors after leaving Real Madrid, of course, except for the Globe Award.

Ronaldo is one of the best offensive players in the world, but he is not a god. He will get tired and old. Not to mention Real Madrid, any team will have a day of renewal, including lifelong enemy Barcelona. Messi will also get old. Of course, because of the different main positions, the age requirement can be relaxed.

Generally, there are two ideas for team replacement: use the old king to lead the new king, and finally the old king abdicates and the new king ascends the throne, or scratch the lottery/do youth training.

After all, even if Ronaldo lives a hundred years, he can’t play until he is fifty or sixty, right? The team will run without him, but there is always money to be made. I sell a main attack point and buy a new fried chicken. It’s not too much. But the problem is that compared with a certain son of Ferguson, is it embarrassing to sell Ronaldo with that performance?

Ronaldo is just asking for a salary increase, not a big principle issue. Is it too much for others to increase their salary if they score fifty goals a year?

It’s like Real Madrid has a super limited edition sports car that has been used for several years. It has many minor problems but can still be driven.

The normal way of doing things (Zidane) is that we first free up some money. When I sold the glass man, the price was over 90 million. Now it has dropped to 70 million. Are you afraid?

Then I went to the supercar dealer to place an order (voluntarily sold myself to the king of football, Kane, the first brother of Tottenham Hotspur). When the new sports car arrives and drives smoothly, we will replace the old sports car.

The route taken by a certain operation genius is: I will throw away the old car if it is old. I would rather wear skates than throw away the old car. As for the head breaking and bleeding on skates, it doesn’t matter. I will just spend a lot of money to buy brake pads.

(Ku has scored 40 goals this year)

The result is that a certain masterpiece “Looking for the Dog” is on the market and is selling well – looking for a dog that can score 40 goals every year and is fed by the world’s number one midfielder. However, the reality is that the dog has not been found, and it has been bitten by other people’s dogs and is about to get rabies.

40 goals per year (not achieved) 40 goals scored per year (achieved) Back and forth, 80 goals less per year, and there is no championship for the hammer.

Let’s take a step back and say that there is no problem in selling Ronaldo. With 100 million in cash and 35 million for a certain goal-scoring background, the total is 135 million. Kane’s transfer to Germany was 120 million. Real Madrid was the champion of three consecutive championships at that time, and the premium of 80 million euros was added. Wouldn’t you feel touched?

200 million to buy Kane to replace Ronaldo, maintain the team’s strong offensive power, and the premium of 80 million a year in Champions League bonuses will pay off.

For any team, offense is the best defense, not to mention that Real Madrid’s defense is far from being an iron wall. In the past, the offensive firepower was strong, and if you scored one goal against me, I would score two goals against you to offset it. What about now?

The offense has been greatly reduced, and others have been hitting the target. What do you think of Real Madrid now?

The uniform team has perfectly avoided all the correct options.
