Football: Starting from the 05 World Youth Championship

Two goals and two assists: the 100 million yuan man has a perfect debut!

Eighty thousand people sang praises as Lin Feng conquered the Bernabéu!

Mourinho: Lin Feng's performance was impeccable!

5-1 Victory Over Atletico Madrid: Is Real Madrid Setting Sail Again?

Immediately after the match, major Spanish and European media outlets reported on it.

As this summer's record signing, Lin Feng has been a hot topic in the football world ever since he joined Real Madrid for a record transfer fee.

Many people are paying attention to his Real Madrid debut, wanting to see how good this so-called greatest player in history really is and whether he deserves his transfer fee of over 100 million euros.

Among them, some were simply there for the fun of it, while others were waiting to see the joke unfold.

As the saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down." As the most valuable player in football today, Lin Feng is liked by some and disliked by others.

Many people feel that Lin Fengde is unworthy of his position, and some Europeans even view him with prejudice because he is of Asian descent, believing that Asians are not worthy of being the number one footballer.

But after watching his debut for Real Madrid, these people were speechless.

With Lin Feng's stats and performance, they can't possibly criticize him even if they wanted to!

Real Madrid scored a total of five goals, and Lin Feng was responsible for four of them.

It's perfectly fair to say that he controlled the outcome of the game. How can you criticize such an exaggerated performance of dominating the game?
If you can't refute it, then you'll just have to shut up.

As a result, all that could be heard outside was praise for Lin Feng.

After the match, The Times of Britain, Bild of Germany, L'Équipe of France, and even Gazzetta dello Sport of Italy all gave special reports on the game, and in their reports, they gave Lin Feng's performance a near-perfect score.

The Gazzetta dello Sport even expressed regret and reminiscence in its report, saying that such an excellent player belonged to Serie A last season, but this season he has fallen to La Liga. How can this not make people sad?
While media outlets from other countries might have offered relatively subtle praise, Real Madrid's two mouthpieces, AS and Marca, made no attempt to conceal their admiration for Lin Feng.

After the match, the two media outlets published extensive feature reports, praising Lin Feng in every way, almost to the point of exaggeration.

Some fans speculate that they may have been instructed by Real Madrid's management to use this opportunity to promote Lin Feng, help him quickly open up the market in La Liga, and increase his popularity.

Of course, there were also dissenting voices. Compared to the Real Madrid mouthpiece's enthusiastic praise, Barcelona's mouthpiece, Mundo Deportivo, sourly stated that one game's performance proves nothing, and that to prove Lin Feng can adapt to the pace of La Liga, he needs to deliver consistently stable performances.

Actually, Mundo Deportivo originally planned to criticize Lin Feng, but Barcelona's shocking draw against ten-man Racing Santander in the first leg caused an uproar.

Barcelona's own poor performance has led to a lack of confidence in the statements made by the club's mouthpiece.

Barcelona's form for the new season still doesn't look very good, despite the fact that they brought in Arsenal legend Thierry Henry during the summer transfer window, assembling an all-star lineup that rivals Real Madrid's.

However, judging from the first leg of the match between the two teams alone, Barcelona's so-called 'Galácticos' seems to be somewhat overrated.

After the first round of matches, Real Madrid sits atop the La Liga standings with a four-goal advantage.

Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, is in an embarrassing tenth place. After only one round of the league, they have already fallen two points behind their old rivals.

This is not good news for Barcelona, ​​who are aiming to win the title.

So, after the match, Barcelona's supporters turned their criticism towards Ronaldinho.

They started bringing up Ronaldinho's frequenting of nightclubs and lack of self-discipline again, criticizing him harshly and claiming he was not a qualified team leader.

Look at Lin Feng's performance at Real Madrid, and then look at yourself. Don't you feel ashamed?
Since the two are of similar worth and hold similar positions, they are naturally compared.

Actually, Barcelona fans were already somewhat unhappy with Ronaldinho last season.

Ronaldinho almost broke ties with Barcelona because of this, when rumors of his transfer to AC Milan were already circulating in the news.

Later, the two sides must have negotiated. After Barcelona demonstrated the club's ambition and brought in strong players such as Henry, Ronaldinho chose to stay for another year to try and win a second Champions League trophy.

If this attempt fails, he may very well leave Barcelona.

Even if he doesn't leave on his own initiative, he will still be purged by Barcelona.

Ultimately, Catalans are relatively conservative and xenophobic. Even if you are a world-class superstar, it will be difficult for you to gain their acceptance and respect if you do not have Catalan ancestry.

……

Despite winning the opening match, Mourinho did not let his guard down.

He knew very well that the league was a long-term race, and starting ahead did not mean he would still be in first place in the final sprint.

To win the league title, they must be prepared for a long battle.

Therefore, continuing to intensify training and helping the players become familiar with their tactics and techniques as soon as possible is the most urgent task at present.

So the next day, Mourinho moved the training time from 10:30 to 9:30, so that he could train for an extra hour!
He took over the team relatively late and missed the pre-match preparation period.

Therefore, this is the only way to make up for the lost time in the past.

The schedule for the early stages of the new season isn't too packed yet, with the Champions League and cup competitions not having started.

Increasing training intensity at this time will not put too much strain on the players' bodies.

Once the Champions League and Copa del Rey have started, it will be unlikely that we can increase the intensity of training.

That would not only be ineffective, but could also cause players to get injured during training.

Last season at Chelsea, Mourinho suffered from numerous injuries and he doesn't want to go through that again at Real Madrid.

Mourinho's adjustment has caused Real Madrid's players to complain bitterly.

Training at 9:30 means they have to leave home around 8:00 and get up around 7:00.

Otherwise, if there is a traffic jam on the way, it is very likely that there will be no time to report.

Real Madrid's training base is near Madrid Airport, which is more than ten kilometers away from the city center. If the players live in the city center or even on the other side of the city, they have to leave early to avoid the morning rush hour traffic jam.

Although the players were groaning and complaining, they only dared to grumble in private, and no one openly opposed Mourinho's rule.

This has allowed Mourinho's PUA plan to take another big step forward!

However, not everyone was lamenting. At least for Lin Feng, Mourinho's adjustment had little impact on him.

After visiting Real Madrid's training ground, he moved to the Real Madrid training ground to live the next day.

It's not about saving money, it's mainly about convenience.

The facilities at the training base are quite good. The hotel-style player dormitories are comfortable, and the training ground is right outside. There's also a player canteen where the food is prepared according to recipes designed by professional nutritionists, so you don't have to worry about eating the wrong thing.

When you get tired from training, you can relax in the recreation room, take a bath in the pool, or get a muscle massage from the team doctor. It's very convenient.

In Lin Feng's opinion, this place is simply a resort paradise. No wonder Cristiano Ronaldo still misses this place after leaving Real Madrid, and even used Real Madrid's training ground on several occasions to maintain his form.

Real Madrid's training ground is highly praised by everyone who has used it!
With the time saved from traveling and the harassment from reporters and fans along the way, Lin Feng can concentrate on training.

For him, starting training at 9:30 was not only not early, but actually a bit late.

When he was with Inter Milan, he would start training at 7:30.

Now that he lives at the team's training base, which is very close by, he can even sleep a little longer. His burden has not only not increased, but has even been reduced.

Influenced by Lin Feng, Pepe is also considering whether to move to the players' dormitory.

After all, his annual salary is not high, and he can't afford a luxury house for the time being, so he can only rent a house.

Pepe's family was very poor. When he first came to Portugal to play football, he only had 5 euros on him after getting off the plane. He used that money to buy a phone card to make an international call home to let his family know he was safe.

Pepe, who was so hungry she was dizzy, came to the outside of a restaurant and honestly told the waiter that she was very hungry but had no money.

The restaurant staff did not chase him away; instead, they offered him a long loaf of bread for free.

It was this piece of bread and the waiter's kindness that moved Pepe, making him put Portugal before Brazil from that moment on. Even after receiving a call-up to the Brazilian national team, he still joined the Portuguese national team despite the criticism.

Although he has saved some money over the years, he has sent almost all of it to his family.

Pepe's dream is that one day she will save enough money to bring her parents and sisters to Europe and settle them down.

To achieve this goal, he needs to continue working hard and earn more money.

"Keep it up, young man! If you maintain this level, you'll definitely be able to sign a big contract in the future!"

After learning about Peipei's story, Lin Feng's impression of this young man changed somewhat.

In private, Peipei doesn't seem to be a bad person at all; on the contrary, he seems to be a filial son.

This image is so different from his image on the field; I can only say that people have a thousand faces!
……

Pepe hasn't moved in yet, but Mourinho has already done so.

Mourinho's family did not accompany him to Madrid due to concerns about their children's education.

Madrid's educational resources are still incomparable to those of London. Currently, Mourinho's son and daughter are both studying in London, and his wife has also stayed in London to take care of them.

So he became too lazy to buy a house and simply lived at Real Madrid's training ground, devoting himself entirely to his work.

Every morning, Lin Feng would go out to train on time, and Mourinho also had the good habit of morning exercise.

As a result, the two often ran into each other at the base.

Good morning, Coach!

"Well, morning!"

That morning, Lin Feng greeted Mourinho as usual when he saw him.

But Mourinho did not simply nod in response as he had done before.

After hearing Lin Feng's greeting, he stopped and walked towards the training ground.

"Coach, is something the matter?"

Lin Feng noticed the other person's actions and stopped his training.

"Hmm, it seems like we've never really had a proper talk before. How about we go to my office to chat?"

Lin Feng thought for a moment and nodded:
"You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I haven't either. How about we go to the cafeteria and eat while we chat?"

"That's okay too!"

Mourinho did not object, although he felt it was a bit early to have breakfast at this time, but it didn't matter, the point was not to eat, but to chat.

A player's diet is quite different from that of a normal person. Not only do they need to pay attention to nutritional balance, but they also need to be careful about what they eat. There are many things they cannot eat.

Therefore, the daily menu can only be selected from a limited number of ingredients.

But thanks to the chefs' efforts, the players were still able to eat different dishes every day, although the taste was a little disappointing, with many players complaining that it was unpalatable.

Lin Feng, however, didn't care. It would be a miracle if a nutritional meal tasted good. As long as it filled his stomach, that was enough. He didn't care much about the taste.

After all, as a citizen of a country known for its food lovers, he didn't think much of the cuisine in Europe, except for Spain and Italy, which he considered relatively good.

Germany and the UK are truly culinary wastelands, especially the UK.

Seeing Lin Feng enjoying his meal, Mourinho, who originally had little appetite, seemed to be infected by the food and ate a piece of bread and then had a bowl of oatmeal porridge.

After they had eaten enough, Mourinho finally got down to business:

"Lin, what are your thoughts on my tactics?"

Upon hearing Mourinho's question, Lin Feng thought for a moment and then replied:

"It's concise, efficient, and practical!"

Mourinho laughed. This kid is dishonest. On the surface, he seems to be praising me, but in reality, he's criticizing me for being conservative!
"Yes, that's a very accurate assessment!"

He himself admitted that his defensive counter-attacking tactics were indeed conservative and outdated, but they were just so effective!
Using this tactic, he led Porto to victory against all odds and win the Champions League title.

He led Chelsea to nearly overthrow Manchester United's dynasty, snatching two championship trophies from the Red Devils.

But in his last season at Chelsea, when opponents became familiar with his style of play and began to target him, Mourinho's approach became less effective.

You can use counter-attacking tactics against strong teams without any problem. Strong teams like to attack, and counter-attacking tactics will always be effective against them.

But if you play against weaker teams, especially those ranked lower, this tactic won't be very effective.

The other party is happy to help you set up a bus, and then take 1 point from you!
The failure of his usual tactics and joining a completely different team made Mourinho realize that he had to adjust his style of play.

If you want to adjust your tactics, you have to discuss it with the team's midfield maestro.

Because this tactic was designed around Lin Feng!
Talking without doing is useless; it's about verifying whether your thinking is correct.

In the second round of the league, in the away game against Villarreal, Mourinho made a bold change to the formation, switching from the previous 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1.
The final score of the match was an astonishing 0:5!

The home team is in front, and the away team is behind!
Real Madrid thrashed Villarreal 5-0 away from home!

Following his stellar performance in the previous match, Lin Feng delivered an even more phenomenal performance this time, scoring three goals to complete his first hat-trick for Real Madrid and once again being named the Man of the Match. (End of Chapter)
