Ball king grower

Whoever wins the World Cup wins the world.

There has always been such a saying, but this year's World Cup champion is the German team, which is a bit interesting. Because the German team pays attention to the team, although it does not matter whether it is Thomas Muller, Ozil, Gotze or Reus.

Their performances were quite outstanding, but if they really wanted to compete with Lin Yu one-on-one, they really couldn't compete.

In fact, in the World Cup, Messi, Suarez, Neymar, and Lin Yu's good friend and teammate Cristiano Ronaldo might have threatened him, but the problem was that none of these national teams could win the championship.

The winner was the Germans.

If measured by championships and performance, this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or may be awarded directly to Reus.

After all, Reus was also a contributor to Real Madrid's Champions League and league championships last season, as well as the World Cup's Golden Boot. In addition, he is not bad at popularity and is handsome, so it is possible for him to win this trophy in all aspects.

If it was taken by an opponent, Lin Yu might still be unhappy, but if it was taken by Royce or Cristiano Ronaldo, then he would only congratulate him. After all, for him, the biggest goal now is not those personal honors.

Yes, but five consecutive Champions League titles.

…

Before the awards ceremony arrived, Lin Yu received an invitation letter from FIFA, inviting him to attend the FIFA awards ceremony in January.

There are two meanings in this. One meaning is that Lin Yu has entered the top three. The other meaning is that if people like Lin Yu do not attend the award ceremony, the gold content of the award ceremony will be much lower.

Lin Yu has a grudge against UEFA. However, he has no grudge against FIFA. His relationship with Blatter is not bad.

So he will definitely go to this invitation, because he has learned through internal information that the top three players in this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or are Real Madrid players, namely him, Royce, and Cristiano.

Ronaldo.

Portugal reached the semi-finals in this World Cup, and their performance was not bad. Cristiano Ronaldo was older in the World Cup, but he became more useful than before. Not only did he have four goals,

, and also contributed six assists to the team. With such results, coupled with his achievements in the club, he does have such qualifications.

Now it seems that no matter who wins the award, the final award will definitely go to Real Madrid. So Lin Yu is naturally willing to attend such an award ceremony. If he can't win it, he can also congratulate his teammates.

…

After the Champions League group stage, the draw for the top 16 was held quickly. Real Madrid, which won the first place in the group, originally planned to draw a weaker team. This way, it could save some energy to deal with other games.

But no one expected that the team they drew was actually the strongest team in second place - Manchester City.

Manchester City has a strong team and is a rare tycoon in the Premier League. However, their performance in the Champions League is always unsatisfactory. This time they were placed in the same group as Barcelona. As a result, they finished second in the group, which is not too surprising.

However, even though Manchester City's results in the Champions League do not seem to be very good, absolutely no group leader is willing to encounter it. After all, Manchester City's strength is there, who can guarantee that it will not go crazy?

After the draw was over, the rest of the group leaders breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, Manchester City had a headache.

I originally thought that I had avoided Barcelona, ​​and if I avoided Real Madrid, I could beat anyone I drew, but who would have thought that after avoiding the former Space Team, I encountered a stronger Space Battleship. This is really disappointing.

So helpless.

After all, they were drawn by the team that was rated as the least desirable opponent in Europe - Real Madrid.

When the draw results came out, the rest of the second-placed teams laughed, and only Manchester City cried.

Real Madrid fans are also very relaxed. Although Manchester City is the strongest team in second place, Real Madrid is the strongest team in first place. As long as they perform normally, there is basically no big problem in defeating Manchester City.

of.

Being feared by the whole of Europe is such a wonderful feeling. You must know that since the first phase of Galacticos, Real Madrid has basically been a team that many teams really hope to meet. They have even been divided for a long time.

In the second gear, this was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by all Real Madrid fans at the time, but there was no way, who made Real Madrid so bad at that time.

Now, the real No. 1 team in the world has finally appeared in the Champions League with its head held high. The media all say that they are here to win the Champions League this season. The team is affected by this media argument.

That's a lot, so many teams begged grandpa to sue grandma, and even burned incense and worshiped Buddha, just to avoid Real Madrid.

…

After the draw ceremony for the top 16 ended, the showdown between the strongest number one and the strongest number two quickly became a topic, so the media interviewed Real Madrid head coach Zidane about this matter.

Zidane is really a strong head coach now. He doesn't care about what others say about his character. He only said one sentence into the microphone, "We are here for the championship!"

Although he didn't say anything else, reporters could analyze from his words that he didn't take Manchester City seriously at all, or in his eyes, Manchester City was just a stepping stone.

Although Zidane seemed confident, some media supporting Real Madrid complained, "This must be another trick of UEFA. Anyway, I have never seen Real Madrid encounter a weak opponent in the knockout rounds! This

What the hell is the difference between first place in the group and second place in the group?"

This time, it was Lin Yu who comforted the media. He smiled and accepted the interview: "Don't be nervous, don't be angry, anyway, no matter who we meet, we will win. No matter how strong Manchester City is, they are just a small group."

It’s just the second one, it’s trivial.”

Lin Yu doesn't have much hatred towards Manchester City. He can only blame Manchester City for being unlucky. After all, the Champions League knockout round is different from the group stage. If you lose in this knockout round, you will be eliminated. You lose one game in the group stage.

, there might even be a chance if we lose two games, but not in this knockout round.

When there is a stone blocking your way, what can you do? There is no doubt that it is moved away. This is a very simple thing and something that must be done.

Real Madrid is full of confidence. However, Manchester City is not trembling with fear. Although they are very reluctant to encounter Real Madrid, since they meet, they will eventually separate the male and female, and even Manchester City's

Players believe that this may be the watershed for Manchester City to embark on the road to championship. Once they defeat Real Madrid, the road after that will be smooth sailing.

Although their Champions League results have not been very good in consecutive seasons, some Manchester City players believe that even if it is the first round this time, it should be Manchester City's turn to win the championship. After so many seasons, if they still fall directly in

On the way to the top eight, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

Are Aguero, Silva, Nasri, Yaya Toure and other stars really inferior to Lin Yu?

Manchester City, who did not believe in evil, chose to raise the flag of resistance when they had no choice but to retreat. If they don't succeed, they will be benevolent.

…

Although both teams are holding back their energy and want to show off in the knockout rounds, there is still a long time before the knockout rounds. After the Champions League group stage ends, the competition will not resume until February. During this period, there will be a considerable period of time.

During the long winter break, some teams need to add players, and some teams need to sell players. Although the transfer period is not as long as the summer transfer period, it is also a critical moment to change the team's strength.

Of course, Real Madrid is not currently concerned about this. They still have one event to play in December, and that is the Club World Cup.

Zidane planned to give up the Club World Cup, but Lin Yu was determined to take the trophy back to the Bernabeu. Finally, the coaching staff discussed it and sent a lineup with the second team as the main force to play in the Club World Cup.

The only players in the first team were Lin Yu, Hessey, Khedira, Mignolet, and Karas.

"I gave you a chance. If you want to win this championship, then rely on your own ability to get it back." This is what Zidane said to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu certainly knows Zidane's difficulties. This season's league and Copa del Rey, plus the Champions League, are not easy enough. Going to the Club Cup is not a big deal. The key is to worry about someone being injured. Even if Real Madrid this season

The thickness of the bench is good, but Zidane doesn't want to see anyone injured directly for a few months, or even a season. It would be too painful.

He didn't blame Zidane. In fact, he was very happy that Zidane could give him this opportunity to go out.

Fortunately, there are not many games to be played in the Club World Cup. For Real Madrid, if they want to win the championship, they only need to win two games.

One is the semi-final showdown on December 17, and the opponent is the winner of the quarter-finals.

The other game is the final.

As the Champions League champion, Real Madrid does not need to play the qualifying rounds and quarter-finals, but starts directly from the semi-finals.

Fortunately, before and during the Club World Cup, Real Madrid only has two league games to play, one is against Valencia at home on December 14th, and the other is on December 22nd.

Home game against Levante.

These two games are both home games, and if we go by time, Lin Yu can actually play in both games.

Because after the game against Valencia on the 14th, the semi-finals of the Club World Cup have not yet started, and the final of the Club World Cup will be held on the 21st. After it is over, you can rush back to Madrid the next day.

, for the match against Levante.

However, Zidane did not allow Lin Yu to do this. If Lin Yu had to participate in the game, he could just finish the game with Valencia. As for the game with Levante, because the time was too tight, in order to prevent Lin Yu from

Overtired, Zidane will never allow Lin Yu to play.

So the time was already arranged.

December 14: Real Madrid vs. Valencia at home

December 17: Club World Cup against one of the quarter-final winners

December 18: Lin Yu will definitely not participate in the second round of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, but the opponent is a Spanish third-division team that has already been defeated by a big score, so this is not a big problem.

December 21st: If you advance to the finals, the Club World Cup finals will be held on this day

December 22: Real Madrid plays against Levante at home, but Lin Yu will not play, even if he can make it in time, he will not play.

In fact, Zidane is not panicked about this kind of game rhythm. To put it bluntly, he doesn't care about the Club World Cup. He doesn't care whether he loses or wins. The reason why he lets Lin Yu play is entirely for satisfaction.

It's just Lin Yu's desire.

The games that Real Madrid really lacks for Lin Yu are actually only one domestic league match and one quarter-final of the Copa del Rey.

The opponents in these two games are weaker than the last. Without Lin Yu, Zidane is fully confident to win. If they can't even win against such an opponent, then why does Real Madrid need substitute players? Why?

Isn't keeping Benzema just for games like this?

In fact, in previous seasons, before the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, Benzema had always started the game. Didn't he still win?
