Golden Greenery

In Madrid in April, the spring breeze is already blowing, and you can even smell the breath of summer in the beautiful sunshine during the day. But on this warm night, the Bernabeu Stadium felt as cold as water, and the cold air penetrated into the bones of every Real Madrid person.

Being humiliatingly defeated by Barcelona 3-0 at their own home court is a cruel fact that every Real Madrid person cannot face but has to face. This battle not only ended Real Madrid's 12-game winning streak in the league, but also widened the point difference between the two teams to 6 points. There are still seven rounds left in La Liga, and this gap means that Real Madrid, which has already been eliminated from the Champions League and Copa del Rey, will usher in another season with empty hands.

In the last 30 minutes of the game, the Bernabeu was filled with sadness. The appearance of Raul and Guti and later Benzema did not change Real Madrid's passivity at all. Barcelona replaced defense with control, using skilled ball control tactics to always control the situation at their feet.

From Raul to Ronaldo, from Casillas to Ramos, everyone has a deep sense of powerlessness.

Zhuoyang looked at Raul who was running dazedly on the field, and remembered what Cheng Hao said: Those who lament for Raul have just never seen him in his prime.

Zhuo Yang has never dealt with Raul, nor has he seen his grace on the court in his prime, because Zhuo Yang has never been an opponent of Real Madrid before. For Raul, Zhuoyang doesn't know more than the fans who read newspapers.

Raul is a very controversial figure. Some say he is a cancer in the Real Madrid locker room, while others say he and Beckham are the last two noble men in the football world. He experienced the peak of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team in the new century, but was never the protagonist of this peak.

Coaches of all generations have recognized Raul's importance, but he only enjoyed core treatment under Del Bosque. But after Del Bosque took charge of the Spanish national team, he still abandoned Raul mercilessly.

The most sad and regrettable thing is that beauties grow old and heroes grow old. But on the football field, the replacement of old and new players is an iron law that will never change. Even old Huang Zhongs like Baresi and Maldini will eventually end their legends. For all players, there is an unavoidable finish line in their careers. Tonight's El Clasico may witness the collective curtain call of three legends in wealthy clubs.

As usual, Raul replaced Van der Vaart around 20 minutes into the second half. This is the 31st time Raul has participated in the Spanish El Clasico. He has tied the record of former six-time champion Gento for the number of Clasico appearances. He has already scored 11 times against Barcelona. But due to the lack of creativity in Real Madrid's midfield, the King of the Rings failed to get any help from his teammates today.

Although he did not say it explicitly, Raul also knew that this would be his last appearance on the battlefield of El Clasico. After Florentino's restoration, he immediately suggested to Raul,

He hopes that the King of the Ring will retire early in the summer of 2010 and join Real Madrid's top management as an image ambassador. After being rejected by Raul, Florentino instructed Pellegrini to throw the King of the Ring on the bench.

The King of the Ring has already had a showdown with Real Madrid's senior management, and as long as the team clearly informs him that his presence will hurt the team, he will leave the Bernabeu.

Raul never talks much, but Guti always has something to say. Two days before this game, Guti suddenly publicly confirmed that he would leave the Bernabeu this summer.

Why did Guti leave Real Madrid? This is because his relationship with the team's top management has completely broken down. Last season, Guti was banned from the team for having a conflict with coach Juan Ramos. This season, he was banned from the team for two months for angrily cursing Pellegrini.

Losing Guti means that Real Madrid will lose its most spiritual midfield master, but it also means that Florentino has one less troublemaker and powder keg.

Raul and Guti finally got playing time, while Henry was completely forgotten by Guardiola.

In the 80th minute of the second half, Guardiola rubbed salt into his wounds and replaced Barcelona's two most threatening players, Zhuo Yang and Messi. He proudly announced that Barcelona would reserve strength for the following games. Iniesta and Toure got the honor of playing in the El Clasico, but Henry, who was also looking forward to it, never got to wait for the last substitution.

This game will change the fate of many people. Pellegrini also knows that the next season he has been looking forward to has become a castle in the air. It is imperative for Real Madrid to change the head coach in the summer, even if he creates the highest points in the same period in team history. record of.

Although he was in a very depressed mood, Ramos still exchanged jerseys with Zhuoyang with a gloomy face after the game as promised. In fact, because of a century-old hatred between Barcelona and Real Madrid, it is rare for players to exchange jerseys with each other, but Zhuoyang does not carry history, and he does not care about other people's opinions.

"Hey, Sergio, cheer up. It's just a game, the days are still long." Zhuoyang comforted Ramos. After hearing this, Ramos reluctantly grinned, which was uglier than crying.

"Oh, that's right!" Zhuo Yang added, "I always forgot to say thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"That year, when we were in the UEFA Cup group, Sevilla, do you remember? In the last round, you scored in the last minute in St. Petersburg. Do you remember?"

"Of course I remember, so...so what?"

"That goal of yours allowed Madibao and I to enter the top 16. Thanks, brother."

On December 16, 2004, Zhuoyang, who was in the deepest stage of his flowering period, led Madibao to a difficult 2:1 away victory over Aek Athens in the final round of the UEFA Cup group stage. However, this score could not allow them to enter the top 16.

On the other side of the game, Sevilla, which had already qualified early, drew 1:1 with Zenit St. Petersburg thanks to Ramos' goal in the 96th minute. This goal fulfilled Madiburg. Madibau has 7 points, and Zenit, which has 5 points, narrowly entered the top 16 in third place.

Everyone knows the story behind it. Zhuoyang, who broke the bottleneck, was unstoppable and led Madibao to win the UEFA Cup again that season.

It was the first season after the Six Musketeers separated. Zhuoyang didn't want to be left behind by his brothers. This League Cup was a source of pride for him.

"Oh~~Oh!" Ramos suddenly realized that there was such a thing. "Hey, what's there to thank you for? I didn't even think about Madiburg when I scored the goal, hahaha..."

"Hahaha..." Zhuo Yang laughed with him. This scene was so conspicuous in the depressed Bernabeu.

In the stands of the Bernabeu, butcher De Jong said to Kaká: "Oh, this summer, it looks like we are going to buy and sell again."

"you sure?"

"Master Ka, I've been here for six years and there's nothing I can't understand."

"Then... forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it. I just want to play well in the World Cup now." Kaka stared at Zhuo Yang and chatted with the butcher.

"Master Ka, you really don't want to tell Zhuo Yang about your... what... Huahua?"

Kaka has entered the flowering period!

Two months ago, on February 17, Real Madrid went away to play against Lyon in the first leg of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, and ultimately lost 0:1. Kaká, who had always been as gentle as jade in the game that day, was inexplicably irritable from the beginning. He was even annoyed to death when he got up in the morning.

During the game, Kaka was a completely different person, his behavior was rude and aggressive, and he was no less than Zhuo Yang when he was violent. During the game, the young master wanted to hit Ma Kong with a hammer, and deliberately kicked Tularang's arm until it bled. What's even worse is that because of a positional error, Mr. Card also scolded his teammate Mohamed Diarra.

That day, Kaka seemed to be possessed by a ghost, or maybe the demon in his heart was rising. Kaka that day was strange to the whole world.

So, that night, Kaka, who had regained his composure, was sure that he had entered the flowering period.

If it were in the past, Master Ka would definitely tell Zhuo Yang the news immediately because they were a couple. But after hesitating for a long time, the young master just told the butcher and repeatedly told Zhuo Yang to keep it a secret.

The butcher is a man of his word.

Kaka's explanation is: He doesn't want Zhuo Yang to worry, and no matter how worried he is, he can't help.

But there is another reason that the young master did not explain clearly.

Nowadays, Zhuoyang and Messi have become more and more cooperative in Barcelona. The praise of the "two swords" in world football has gradually made people forget about Milan's "unparalleled double pride" in the past three years.

People always prefer to see new people smiling, so Kaka was jealous.
