I Just Can Score

after one day.

Real Madrid ushered in the fifth round of Group C of the Champions League. They faced Marseille at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

The game was useless against Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has won four rounds and has reached 12 points. Second-place Marseille has only six points. AC Milan and Zurich have three points each. With only two games left, Real Madrid Madrid has qualified for the group stage ahead of schedule.

At the same time, as long as they do not lose to Marseille by a very large score and will not lose the last game against Zurich, Marseille will not be able to overtake Real Madrid in points if they win the last round of the contest with AC Milan.

It is not easy to achieve these three conditions.

In the first round, Real Madrid won Marseille 1-3 in an away game. In the second round with Marseille, as long as the opponent does not score more than three goals, it will be fine. In addition, it is not easy for Marseille to win against AC Milan. Judging from AC Milan's situation, They have reached a desperate situation with no escape route behind them. They must win the remaining two games in a row to have a chance to qualify from the group.

Therefore, Real Madrid can play against Marseille with a relaxed attitude. The entire team, including the coaching staff and players, does not take the game to heart.

This is not carelessness, it is simply the case.

When Pellegrini arranges the starting lineup, he only considers experienced players and lets some players who cannot usually play in the game appear. Among them, the absolute main players are only Ramos and Diarra, Ronaldo, Alonso and other players. , including Zhen Shaolong, who just returned to the team, did not even make the roster.

c-Ronaldo, Alonso and other players are still doing normal rotation, while Zhen Shaolong is completely resting.

The national team games are indeed very tiring. The game is not the key factor. The continuous jet lag is the most harmful to the body. Zhen Shaolong's condition has not been adjusted yet, so he can only temporarily not participate in the game.

Fortunately, the game doesn't matter.

Of course.

Whether the game is important or not is relative. Real Madrid's management still attaches great importance to the game, because the venue is the Bernabeu Stadium and it is also a Champions League event with bonuses.

Before the game.

Real Madrid manager Valdano discovered that many tickets were not sold.

The Bernabeu Stadium was only two-thirds full. Compared with previous seasons, the ticket sales data are already quite good, but compared with this season's data, the difference is really too big.

From the beginning of the season to the present, almost every game at the Bernabeu Stadium is full. In many games, fans cannot buy tickets, instead of worrying about ticket sales.

The current data is a bit bleak in comparison.

When Valdano was struggling with ticket sales for a single game, the game between Real Madrid and Marseille also started.

Real Madrid sent a substitute lineup, and Marseille was not a weak opponent. The two sides played a close match at the beginning. Real Madrid had a certain advantage, but the advantage was not very obvious.

Real Madrid quickly got into shape.

In the 27th minute, Gago's pass allowed Higuain to find an opportunity, and the latter shot hard in the penalty area to help Real Madrid complete the goal.

Subsequently.

In the 31st minute, Marseille made a steal at halftime for a fast break. The striker's shot was saved. Taking advantage of the corner kick on the left, a defender stepped forward and shook his head vigorously to score the goal.

1 to 1.

This is also the final result of the game.

Real Madrid and Marseille shook hands and made peace, with both sides accepting the result.

Real Madrid's draw with Marseille is enough to confirm first place in the group. Marseille successfully scored a point, which is also beneficial to the qualifying situation. Even if AC Milan wins Zurich, they only need to draw with AC Milan in the last round, which is enough. Guaranteed to qualify.

soon.

The match between AC Milan and Zurich also ended, and the news spread quickly. The result of the match made Marseille very complicated, because AC Milan drew 1-1 with Zurich, which caused the competition for second place in Group C to quickly become fierce.

After five rounds of Champions League Group C, Real Madrid has 13 points and ranks first in the group with a huge advantage.

Second-placed Marseille has seven points.

AC Milan and Zurich both have four points.

Marseille will play AC Milan in the next game. As long as they can get points, they will definitely qualify, but if they don't get points, there is still some hope of qualifying.

In addition, AC Milan and Zurich also have opportunities.

In the last round, AC Milan needs to defeat Marseille in order to win the hope of qualifying for the group. If Zurich defeats Real Madrid at the same time, the situation will be very interesting. The record between AC Milan and Zurich is one draw and one loss. The winning-loss relationship will definitely lose to Zurich. At the same time, Marseille's points are also seven points. Zurich lost to Marseille by a big score, and the outcome will be lost to Marseille. Marseille lost to AC Milan in both games, and the outcome will definitely be lost to AC Milan. The situation will become very serious then. complex.

The competition for Group C of the Champions League has also been reported by major media.

The Champions League is held every year, and such complicated situations rarely occur. Interestingly, the name of the giant AC Milan appears in it. The situation of AC Milan is not very optimistic. They are slightly stronger than Zurich, and Zurich has hope of qualifying. is the smallest.

This has nothing to do with Real Madrid.

They are safely ranked first in the group, and they can consider drawing lots for the top 16.

When the game between Real Madrid and Marseille ended, Valdano also found the reason for the poor ticket sales-the lineup problem.

Media surveys helped explain the reason. Many Real Madrid fans said that because Real Madrid had already qualified for the group stage and Zhen Shaolong was not involved in the game, they had no interest in watching the game. The most they could do was look at the results.

"The score was 1-1. I'm glad I didn't go there."

"When I saw Zhen Shaolong was not on the list, I decided not to go to the game. My friends thought the same way."

"I watch the game in the bar and occasionally buy tickets, but it is more interesting to drink and watch the game with my friends. If there was Zhen Shaolong, maybe I would go to the scene to support him, but no."

"I'm looking forward to the next game. Zhen Shaolong will probably appear..."

The answers given by Real Madrid fans in the interview made Valdano a little unhappy. He is the management of Real Madrid and naturally knows about Zhen Shaolong's contract. Judging from Zhen Shaolong's performance, it is very likely that Manchester City will spend a lot of money to buy out the contract.

What to do then?

When Real Madrid loses Zhen Shaolong, it seems that every aspect will be greatly affected!

Fortunately, there is no need to think about it for the time being.

Valdano called Zhen Shaolong and knew that he was going home to rest after the game, so he drove directly to his house and told him the 'good' news.

"You won the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year. We have known this news for a long time." Valdano said very excitedly.

"I already knew it."

Zhen Shaolong was not interested in the news at all, because as long as the selectors were not blind, he would definitely get the award, "Is this what you want to tell me?"

"Ahem...of course not."

Valdano continued awkwardly, "Remember what I said before? It's good for you to refuse the Golden Globe Award, but you don't have to refuse it now, because the two awards are about to be merged. This is secret news, for now Don’t spread it, don’t tell anyone.”

"Well... merge? This year?"

Valdano shook his head and explained, "The merger will happen next year. This news will be announced publicly at this FIFA awards ceremony. At the same time, the Golden Globe Award will also be awarded at the award ceremony, which means you can get two in one go." A major award."

"But... I refuse the Golden Globe Award?" Zhen Shaolong was a little confused.

"Why do you still refuse?" Valdano couldn't understand, and he explained in surprise, "When the time comes, you will directly receive two awards, and the organizer has decided to let you announce the news. By then, you will become the world's As the founder of the greatest award in football, fans will think that you are the one who brought the two awards together. There are benefits to it, the benefits of fame, the benefits of influence."

Zhen Shaolong was a little moved when he heard that, but he didn't pursue fame too persistently. He was already famous enough, and any more fame would be just a cloud. As for creating any awards, they wouldn't be awarded to him after the merger. He just An announcement was made at the venue that saying 'pioneer' was a bit too much.

so……

"If I refuse the Golden Globe Award at the awards ceremony, maybe I will be more famous?" Zhen Shaolong asked in a divergent way.

Valdano opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say, but he felt it made sense.

In such a grand award ceremony, a big stage broadcast live to the whole world, the presenter presented the Golden Globe Award to Zhen Shaolong, but Zhen Shaolong refused...

World-class news!

Zhen Shaolong's fame will definitely rise again, but it will definitely have some negative effects.

Valdano took a deep breath and decided to persuade Zhen Shaolong to accept the Ballon d'Or, because in terms of the merger of the awards, Real Madrid also played a role in promoting it. Having a good relationship with FIFA will definitely be beneficial to the development of the club.

If Yan Shaolong refuses the Golden Globe Award, all his previous work will be in vain.

Valdano began to persuade, "You should accept the award. This is not a compromise. In fact, they have already compromised with you."

"But it's not good for me..."

"As soon as you accept the Ballon d'Or, it's over between you and me."

"What do we have? Besides, it's not good for me?"

"FIFA also hopes..."

"What about the benefits? I need a reason to convince myself." Zhen Shaolong said firmly.

Valdano was a little annoyed, and he asked hysterically, "What else do you want, do you want to give you a bonus of one million euros!?"

"This... can be considered..."

Zhen Shaolong nodded and said seriously.
