Chapter 211 First Arrival in Madrid
Madrid was originally part of the Arab world, called "Magrit". It was not until 1083 AD that it was conquered by the heroic Alfonso VI and became a Christian territory. However, for a long time, Madrid was not the center of the Spanish Kingdom. Not far from Madrid, and the city of Toledo has remained intact so far. It is the center of true power, culture, religion and military.
In the early 17th century, Madrid officially became the capital of Spain and the capital of the Madrid Autonomous Region. Madrid is located in the hinterland of Spain. The Sun Square in the center of the city has a zero point mark, which radiates across the country, and it also symbolizes the importance of this city.
Madrid has never been the center of industry and industry. Perhaps for this reason, football was born and produced relatively late. However, it is almost impossible not to have football in this city full of rich historical and cultural heritage. Unlike the neighing of Manchester locomotives and the shouts of Andalusian miners, Madrid football has grown from the breeding ground away from poverty since its first day of its birth. A wealthy Catalan businessman plus a group of money-free
Staff and students, in this way, Real Madrid appeared in the most expensive area of Chamartin, the city today, and soon surrounded the team with a group of fat people smoking cigars until the royal family was banned. From then on, the city had the first brand. With the tenacious rise of Atletico Madrid, Vallecano's unwillingness to be lonely, and the revelation of a group of surrounding satellite city teams, Madrid finally gained a share of football in its cultural precipitation for more than ten centuries.
When it comes to Madrid football, the first thing that fans think of is Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, a pair of arch rivals in the same city, and Vallecano, located in Madrid's satellite city, has become a forgotten team for various reasons. Compared with the more popular bed sheet army, Real Madrid, with its outstanding record, is more like a gorgeous and elegant nobleman and has a higher reputation. The six European Champions League trophys have overshadowed countless European giants.
Many fans now know that in the early 1990s Dutchman Cruyff led Barcelona to complete the feat of four consecutive La Liga titles, but who knows that before Cruyff, Real Madrid also achieved a five-game winning streak in the league?
What Fiorentina is going to face today is such a giant club with a special status in the Spanish football world.
The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is referred to as the Bernabeu Stadium. The Santiago Bernabeu is a symbol of Real Madrid. During his tenure as chairman of the Real Madrid Club, he successfully led and completed this huge project. In order to commemorate the great contributions made by the Bernabeu to Real Madrid, the stadium was officially named after the Santiago Bernabeu on January 4, 1955.
The Bernabeu Stadium is the home stadium of Real Madrid. It was officially completed on December 14, 1947. It can accommodate 80,354 spectators and is one of the most famous football stadiums in the world. The match between Florence and Real Madrid will be held in this stadium this afternoon.
On the afternoon of November 2, the Bernabeu Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 fans, was packed. Countless fans wearing Real Madrid white jerseys entered the stadium and cheered for the team they supported.
"Hello, Chairman Corleone, I am Lorenzo Sanz, the chairman of Real Madrid Club. I am very happy to enjoy this wonderful game with you." Zhuang Mingge followed the staff of the Bernabeu Stadium into the booked VIP box. As soon as I entered the room, a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair walked towards Zhuang Mingge.
"Hello, Chairman Sans, it's my honor to be able to watch the game with the Chairman of Real Madrid." Zhuang Mingge said politely. He had a good relationship with Cruyff and could not think of any reason why this Real Madrid supporter had to make good friends with himself, Barcelona's "ally."
"Haha, Chairman Corleon, don't be so cold... Although you have a good personal relationship with Cruyff in Barcelona, this will not affect the friendship between Florence and Real Madrid. We Madrid are not as extreme as those Catalans." Sans saw the confusion in Zhuang Mingge's eyes and explained friendly.
Think about it, the stars who transferred from Barcelona to Real Madrid in history will always be threatened and "welcome ceremonies" from Barcelona fans when facing their old clubs, such as the pig head that Figo received... while the stars who defected from Real Madrid to Barcelona have almost never suffered such extreme treatment. The nationalism of Catalans is fully reflected in this regard.
"Okay, it seems that I have too many concerns, Mr. Sans." Zhuang Mingge saw that Sans took the initiative to relieve her concerns about this, so he was no longer as restricted as before, and said, "I'm watching the game about to begin, Mr. Sans, I think we can save those unnecessary politeness and hurry up to watch the game in the seat."
Zhuang Mingge's meaning is very clear: I will say anything after the game is over. The main task now is to watch this game that is crucial to the two teams.
After hearing this, Sans did not make a sound, nodded to Zhuang Mingge, quickly returned to his seat and put on headphones - it seemed that he was also very concerned about his team's performance in this game.
...
Based on the reasons mentioned before, no one on both teams would be disregarded by this game.
This can be seen from the starting lineup announced by both sides in this game. Both sides can be said to be basically all elites. Real Madrid's lineup is that the old minister Bujo serves as goalkeeper, the two full-backs are Shindo and Enrique Flores, the center back Alcota and Sanchis Jr., the midfielder Michelle and Jero, right forward Luis Enrique, left forward Amavisca, and the forward partner is the young player Raul and "terrifying Ivan" Zamorano who became famous last season. Except for Argentine midfielder Redondo is still placed on the bench by his mentor Bardano and "waiting for call", this can basically be said to be the strongest main lineup that Real Madrid can currently produce.
Ranieli is naturally not to be outdone. Goalkeeper Toldo, two full-backs are Bilindelli and Lanna, and the center back is paired by young players Nesta and Ferrara; in the midfield, the back midfielder Dibiagio, the two central forwards are Effenberg and "Boar" Davis, the front midfielder is replaced by Rui Costa, and the forward line is partnered by Philip Inzagi and Batistuta. The reason why Costa replaced Djokav was mainly considered to be in consideration of Real Madrid's lack of defensive strength and running ability in the middle, Costa's precise pass can be maximized in such occasions.
