Golden Greenery

‘10’ is undoubtedly the most well-known jersey number on the football field. It has been endowed with a lot of meaning. Most teams in world football regard this number as a god.

Real Madrid has also had many brilliant No. 10s in its history, which I won’t go into details here. But since entering the new century, Real Madrid's No. 10 seems to have become a curse, and those who wear this number are not always in good times.

1. When Dove moved from Real Madrid to Inter Milan, Real Madrid's No. 10 went to Luis Figo, and he became the only No. 10 for Real Madrid in the new century.

Figo also went to Inter Milan later, and the No. 10 behind him was Robinho. It is difficult for the Brazilian cyclist to be called a success. After Robinho went to Manchester City, Sneijder became the new owner of No. 10.

Real Madrid's two seasons were Sneijder's nightmare. He would rather never have heard of the Bernabeu's name.

After Sneijder, a strange scene occurred. Real Madrid's No. 10 became the midfield defensive champion Lass Diarra. This is simply a betrayal of No. 10, a naked anti-No. 10 behavior. Real Madrid's No. 10 has even become a joke in the international football world.

In the summer of 2011, Metsu Ozil wore No. 10. This was his second year at Real Madrid.

In his first season in La Liga, which was the 10-11 season when Zhuoyang was still at Barcelona, ​​Eryan performed very amazingly. He competed with Zhuoyang and Messi for the league's assists title throughout the whole process, but in the end he just lost to Barcelona. Double evil.

But since putting on the No. 10 jersey, Eyan's performance cannot be said to be that bad, but it is indeed not as good as the year he first arrived, and it has been declining year by year. Especially after the arrival of Magic Flute this year, although he is still ahead in the competition among Real Madrid's top three attacking midfielders, he really has nothing outstanding.

But on the day when Real Madrid played against Valladolid in an away game in December 2012 and coach Mourinho needed to be saved, Eryan stepped forward.

Real Madrid's No. 10, who started the game, first assisted Benzema to score, and then scored twice to help Real Madrid reverse the victory 3:2. This pair of dead goldfish eyes became the most beautiful cub in the Sorilla Stadium that day, and Manucho flew together.

After completing the reversal in the 75th minute, Eryan rushed to the sidelines and hugged Mourinho affectionately.

Mourinho knew that the media would not let him go against an underdog but narrowly escaped death, so he habitually did not attend the post-match press conference and asked assistant coach Karanka to attend the occasion. But through other channels, Mourinho praised Eryan's performance in this game, saying that he is one of the most outstanding midfielders today, the best passer and the best defensive midfielder.

Mourinho even used the word 'great', insisting that Eryan could be compared to Zizou.

Zhuoyang's performance in this game was relatively mediocre, with no success or mistakes, so he was quite satisfactory. After taking a 3:2 lead on the seventh horse in the second half, he felt discomfort in his back after fighting with Valladolid midfielder Sam Perez and was replaced by Mourinho with Varane.

After the game, Zhuo Yang was diagnosed and needed to rest for a week to ten days. He also joined the ranks of Real Madrid's injuries, playing against Marcelo, Detu, and Higuain.

Real Madrid still have three games to play before the Christmas break. The incredible adventurous play of the two defenders and the powerful comeback victory over Valladolid. The outside world believes that Real Madrid can recover from the bad luck and there will be no more troubles in the future. After all, the hard power is here.

However, it turns out that everyone thinks too much. When you are unlucky, you will lose your teeth when you drink cold water. Real Madrid is such an unlucky person.

Four days after narrowly defeating Valladolid, Real Madrid went to the Valades Stadium for a Copa del Rey 1/8 first leg match against Celta Vigo. Less than two months ago, Real Madrid defeated Celta Vigo 3-0 at home in the eighth round of the league. At that time, Zhuo Yang passed and shot, and Ronaldo and Higuain each made contributions.

But this time, Real Madrid's mixed lineup led by Ronaldo failed to take advantage of its opponents in the away game.

Although Ronaldo still scored, Real Madrid lost 1:2 rather helplessly.

Mourinho praised him a few days ago and played the entire game in the starting lineup, but the magic was no longer there. He was completely trapped in Real Madrid's "No. 10 Curse". The whole game was mediocre, but he could not compare with Qida. Guilty.

This is not all the misfortune. Real Madrid center Benzema sprained his ankle without confrontation in the 30th minute of the half. This damn rainy day made the Real Madrid people very uncomfortable, and the stupid horse also joined the ranks of the wounded.

Celta Vigo is also a newly promoted team this season. Real Madrid was humiliated by two weak teams within four days. At this time, any excuse they can find seems pale.

Returning to Madrid, Real Madrid ushered in the No. 1 team in La Liga at the Bernabeu and it was not a strong team. Real Madrid beat them both home and away last season.

Detu returned from injury in time. Even though there were still four injured players missing, this was supposed to be a game without any suspense, but it ended in a 2:2 draw. Spanish midfielder Albindi The equalizer, Real Madrid lost even though it was a draw.

Due to the absence of Gua Guo, Ronaldo was reluctantly pushed to the center position by Mourinho in this game. As expected, he played awkwardly, even though Mourinho specially arranged two players, Eyes and Magic Flute, behind him. Even a passer cannot make Ronaldo smile.

However, the president is the president after all. Even if he plays awkwardly and even if he is holding resentment in his stomach, Ronaldo still uses one shot and one pass to let Real Madrid equalize or even take the lead in the game. Although there are basically no highlights except for this shot and pass, you can't say that he didn't work hard.

The ones who didn't work hard were Eyan and Magic Flute. They interfered with each other on the two front midfielders and played in a disorganized manner. The offense could not help Ronaldo, and the defense only caused chaos to Detu and He Lian.

After this campaign, Real Madrid was already 11 points behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who were continuing their winning streak, and they did not dare to find reasons anymore.

However, this is not the end.

Real Valladolid, Real Celta de Vigo, and Real Espanyol. In these three consecutive games that were nicknamed the "Royal Civil War" by the media, Real Madrid performed extremely decadently and urgently needed a change of luck. So, they waited for the last game of 2012, the 17th round of La Liga, away to Malaga.

Malaga is just Malaga, without 'Royal'.

But this Malaga without 'Real' makes Real Madrid even more vigilant, because just two weeks ago, Malaga defeated AC Milan in the Champions League and became the first place in the group. Real Madrid with Royal is second in the group. .

This is the final game of the year, and Real Madrid cannot afford to lose. Otherwise, it will be difficult to chase Barcelona or even Atletico Madrid after the New Year. The matter was so important that Zhuo Yang took the initiative to end his recovery and training one day early. Benzema also came back in time to ask for help. A group of people rushed to the Rose Garden Stadium with solemn expressions.

The hope of winning the championship at the halfway stage has long since evaporated, and Barcelona has opened up the points to double digits. If they miss again, Real Madrid will definitely not be stable next year, and the internal backlog of conflicts will no longer be concealed.
