Chapter 120 When You Look at This Crown, Lower Your Head and Pay Tribute to the Triple Crown!

After repeatedly throwing Mourinho up, the excited Real Madrid players finally let go of the coach who was already a little weak.

After the passion and excitement gradually faded, looking at the familiar faces of teammates around them, every Real Madrid player seemed to have too many words to talk to each other.

Li Ang and Brother Long took the lead in giving each other a tight hug.

They are master and apprentice, friends, and comrades-in-arms.

Perhaps after leaving Liverpool, Brother Long also opened his heart to his teammates for the first time.

The last person who asked him to do this was called Gerrard.

It can only be said that whether from the attitude towards the game, professionalism, or private character, Li Ang made Brother Long extremely satisfied.

Of course, the emotional kiss like that with Gerrard back then is forgotten.

Brother Long is no longer young after all. This time against Chelsea, Real Madrid is not the weak side. Winning the game is a matter of course, and Brother Long can still hold his emotions.

He patted Li Ang's shoulders hard at last, and asked Li Ang to celebrate with other teammates.

There is no need to say more about some routine congratulations and encouragements. Their relationship would seem hypocritical if they said too much. It was all in the tacit actions and eye contact.

Li Ang was the second one to find Ronaldo, or Ronaldo had been waiting for him.

When Li Ang and Alonso separated, Ronaldo took the initiative to walk towards Li Ang.

"Little lion!"

The two also hugged each other as soon as they met. Li Ang could fully feel the other's happiness in Ronaldo's hug, and he was happy from the bottom of his heart.

"I believe you can do it, Chris, I believe you, we all believe in you, from beginning to end!"

Li Ang did not say polite words. If he had to choose the most critical person in Real Madrid this season, it could only be Ronaldo.

Whether it is the league, the Champions League, or the King's Cup.

As long as Ronaldo plays in the game, Real Madrid has a guarantee of goals.

Looking around the world, only Ronaldo and Messi of Real Madrid and Barcelona can bring such a solid sense of reliance on the field to their teammates.

Li Ang believed from the beginning to the end that they would win the final victory in the three-line battle.

Because their team's running-in progress is very smooth, the defense is solid, the offense has no shortcomings, and the coaching team is excellent.

Moreover, they have the ace figure of peak Ronaldo who dares to take the offensive responsibility.

With such a super giant who can create one goal per game in front, it is really impossible not to rely on it.

"Thank you, little lion, I know that you are one of my best friends and teammates. We will win more together, I have no doubt about it."

Ronaldo seemed to have turned into a chatterbox at this moment, his joy and excitement were beyond words, which was also in line with his personality.

If he likes a teammate, it means that he really likes him. If he is very happy, it will be directly expressed.

Li Ang just listened to his nagging with a smile on his face until Kaka also ran over.

After clapping hands and hugging Kaka, Li Ang found an excuse to leave, leaving Ronaldo and Kaka side by side to talk about their respective joys of winning the championship.

He himself went to the Chelsea players who were still sitting or standing there in a daze.

Li Ang offered his comfort.

At this time, after the game, his behavior would no longer be magnified by the media.

This is normal, because Casillas is comforting Cech at this time, and Mourinho also walked towards his former proud disciples.

After exchanging jerseys with Drogba, Li Ang shyly took out the signature pen he had prepared long ago.

Drogba's depressed heart seemed to be a little better at this moment.

He didn't expect that the previous rumors in the media were true.

Li Ang personally admitted that he was his fan.

Drogba was helplessly comforting himself while signing.

In the end, they lost to their own fans on the field. This result seems to be acceptable.

The award ceremony was quite complicated and bitter for the defeated Chelsea players.

They did not waste time. After receiving the silver medal, they hurriedly left the stadium, leaving this place that broke their dreams and made them sad.

The more than 30,000 Real Madrid fans who stayed at the scene started their unbridled championship carnival with the Real Madrid players who held the trophy high in the stands!

Li Ang also revealed the "suspense" left to all domestic fans in the previous interview.

When it was his turn to hold the cup alone, he was already wearing a bright red national flag, proudly and confidently holding the big ear cup high above his head!

At this time, no domestic fan would jump out to question Li Ang's decision to hold the cup with the national flag.

Because just before, Ramos completed the cup with the Spanish flag on his lower body, Ronaldo and Pepe were wearing the Portuguese flag, and Marcelo was holding the Brazilian flag in his hand.

A professional player may not know how many times he will have the chance to enter the Champions League final in his lifetime.

If he can win the championship once, his career can be considered complete.

At such a moment, wearing the national flag obviously represents their strong recognition and pride in their national identity!

He Wei choked up, and Coach Zhang also applauded with tears in his eyes, constantly muttering "good!".

This will undoubtedly be a highlight in the history of Chinese sports, and it will also be one of the most important moments in the history of Chinese sports!

The photo of Li Ang wearing the national flag and shouting to hold the cup was taken by the media at the scene.

Compared with the proud and excited Chinese reporters who shed tears, the reporters from the other two countries in East Asia can only be deeply envious.

South Korea at least had Park Ji-sung to promote it, but Japan had no say in this regard.

And now, with Li Ang starting for Real Madrid to win the Champions League, he also played a wonderful performance of passing and shooting in the final.

The greatest pride in the hearts of South Korean reporters has also been shattered.

After all, Park Ji-sung did not get a chance to play in 2008 when Manchester United won the championship.

In the middle of the night in China, the public opinion of the big explosion was quietly brewing, and the official media of Wutai and higher levels were also rushing to produce press releases overnight.

May 20th was destined to be not peaceful.

Li Ang and his teammates who returned to Madrid with the championship trophy overnight rarely stayed up all night.

Because their own fans were so enthusiastic!

The club executives such as the old Buddha only took a little time to congratulate each player and coach, and then left the time to the players themselves.

Of course, the large-scale celebration ceremony will not start late at night, but it is still necessary to interact with the fans who came to the scene to warmly welcome them.

After that, there was a lively small celebration banquet.

The Real Madrid players, who were also hungry, just had a big meal, and they went to bed in the hotel at three or four in the morning.

The next day and a half of vacation was arranged freely by the Real Madrid players.

Li Ang accompanied his parents who were going abroad for the first time to visit Madrid. Of course, his uncle's family also accompanied them.

On the morning of May 21, Li Ang accepted a special interview with He Wei in the conference room of the training base and did a slightly official interview program.

As usual, neither side mentioned sensitive domestic topics.

Li Ang's attitude was very easygoing, and the five high-level officials who had never paid attention to a certain association also stood firmly for Li Ang.

Well, let's talk about something more realistic. Li Ang has already won five championship titles, and he has just won the league and Champions League double championship as the absolute main force of Real Madrid!

If the certain association still has shame, it should get out of here as far as possible and not get involved.

Otherwise, it will make a mess and make things worse again, and they will have a hard time.

The interview went very smoothly, and Li Ang finally prepared a small surprise for He Wei.

He took out a No. 10 jersey of his own.

A jersey signed by all the players of the Real Madrid first team, although it is not a final version, is enough to make He Wei ecstatic.

In the afternoon, He Wei also has to interview other Real Madrid players and coaches.

This is also specially approved by the Real Madrid top management. They are very happy to establish friendly relations with the official media from China.

And Li Ang has to start his recovery training in the afternoon.

Most of the Real Madrid first-team players also have to start recovery training today.

Because on the evening of May 25, they will usher in the last game of the season.

The King's Cup final with Barcelona!

The good news is that this season's King's Cup final will be held at the Calderon Stadium, the home of Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid can almost be regarded as having the advantage of playing at home.

The rest time is still sufficient, and five days is barely enough for Real Madrid's players to accumulate physical reserves for another big battle.

Moreover, it is related to the third championship trophy of this season, and facing the mortal enemy Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid does not want to lose at this juncture anyway.

Barcelona, ​​which was called the cosmic team in the past few seasons, may not have thought that one day they would carry the expectations of fans of other teams, hoping that they could win the "Earth Defense War".

Yes, now Real Madrid is playing the role of the big devil in football.

Winning the Champions League undefeated, breaking the record of the league with 109 points, not only crushing Barcelona, ​​but also greatly shocked the world of football!

"Unprecedented!"

This is the label that countless European sports media have given to this Real Madrid in Mourinho's second year.

Barcelona's dominance in the past three seasons has been quite abnormal.

But the tactical suppression and fighting spirit shown by Real Madrid this season have given a new path to the development of European football that has been controlled by the passing.

The lineup is not too short, and it emphasizes space pressure more than the pursuit of ball possession. It plays a fast counterattack, and the tactical style of running, grabbing, and confrontation is more capable.

Heynckes and Klopp, the two head coaches, took the lead in expressing their interest in Real Madrid's tactics.

Or it can be said that they were originally "companions" on the road of exploring this set of tactics.

Mourinho has demonstrated the power of this set of tactics in the upcoming stage before them.

Yes, Mourinho does not dare to say that he has mastered this new set of space pressure tactics.

He is still exploring.

With more head coaches participating in the experiment in the future, a new tactical trend will surely spread rapidly on the big stage of European football.

Of course, more coaches and teams are still choosing to wait and see.

After all, Real Madrid has only played a dominant performance in this season. Whether this set of tactics can be effective and lasting still needs to be tested by time and more opponents.

It just so happens that Real Madrid will soon face Barcelona again in the final of the King's Cup.

The contest between the new king and the old king will be launched for the third time this season, and the two participating parties are gearing up for the battle.

The fans, media and coaches from various leagues who are watching are also looking forward to it.

However, it is important for Mourinho to seek innovation in tactical play.

But for him and Real Madrid, winning the match against Barcelona again stably is more important.

He has never concealed his identity as a "victoryist".

Now that Real Madrid players have tasted the pleasure of winning the championship, they are firmly gathered under Mourinho.

They are not physically superior, but they are firm and confident enough in their will.

Real Madrid, which already has two crowns, will not miss the opportunity to suppress Barcelona again and create a triple crown.

In Li Ang's words.

That is the happiness that Barcelona fans have felt, and Real Madrid fans must also have it, and more!

※※※

On the evening of May 25, at 22:00 local time in Madrid, the Spanish national derby officially kicked off on the stage of the King's Cup final!

Atletico Madrid fans feel very bad at this moment.

After all, they didn't expect that the two teams that played the King's Cup final at their home stadium were their mortal enemy and the other was one of the teams they didn't like.

This caused them to lose interest in watching the final.

Although they would be very happy to see Real Madrid lose in the end, they felt depressed and upset when they thought that Real Madrid's failure was also Barcelona's victory.

At this moment, the fans of Real Madrid and Barcelona were cheering for their beloved teams with all their might in the Calderon Stadium.

Well, the scene was magical, but it would be fine once you get used to it, at least that's how Real Madrid's fans comforted themselves.

After all, the final was held in Madrid, so it was reasonable to consider Calderon as Real Madrid's home court!

From the scene, Real Madrid did not play out the momentum of the home court today, and was almost completely suppressed by Barcelona in the first ten minutes of the game.

However, there was not much worry and anxiety on the faces of Real Madrid's players.

After all, including the Western Super Cup before the season, they also won three games against Barcelona in this year. Psychologically, Barcelona was completely free of the pressure of the previous seasons.

And their pre-match tactical drills were like this.

Barcelona has been resting for almost two weeks, and it is completely possible to adopt a strong attacking tactic at the beginning. It is reasonable for Real Madrid to avoid the attack at this time.

The coaching staff put the time node for the counterattack in the second half, so the Real Madrid players on the field are not in a hurry.

However, the love-hate relationship between Li Ang and Messi has entered the entanglement stage since the beginning of the game.

Barcelona fans are helpless. Now every time Barcelona plays against Real Madrid, Messi has to face Li Ang directly.

Messi can still score goals, but compared with the previous game against Real Madrid, the number of goals and assists is much less.

Many media have pointed out the reason why Barcelona can't do much with Real Madrid's tactics now.

That is Messi lacks helpers.

If it was like before, when Eto'o and Henry were still there, even if Li Ang entangled Messi, Messi could more easily help Barcelona create more threatening opportunities on the offensive end.

Because Eto'o and Henry, who received Messi's pass, are very good at seizing opportunities.

But now Messi's partners are Sanchez and Pedro.

It's not that these two are bad, but compared with Eto'o and Henry, they are not in the same league.

Messi now has to create threats to his teammates and shoot and score goals himself, taking on too many offensive responsibilities.

Although he did perform very well, in this case, once he was entangled by Li Ang, it meant that the strongest firepower source on the Barcelona front line had to be "quiet" for a while.

Guardiola actually knew the problem later, but to be honest, there are too few high-quality forwards on the market that meet the requirements of the Barcelona system.

Real Madrid's Benzema is actually a seamless integration into the Barcelona system.

He can help Messi attract defensive firepower at the front, his passing and control skills are excellent enough, and he has scored 18 league goals in Real Madrid this season, and he is still young.

It's a pity that "White Ronaldo" was taken by Real Madrid early. Looking at the relatively young and outstanding center forwards on the market, there are really few who can catch Guardiola's eye.

Don't talk about Suarez at this time.

Suarez, who just played a whole season in Liverpool, is not the Su Shen of later generations. The data of 11 goals in a single season can only be said to be mediocre.

Guardiola can't consider him.

And now Aguero, who is performing well in Manchester City and also makes Guardiola very excited, is a target of Barcelona's signings that Barcelona can't buy.

This is the player that Guardiola has no chance to bring to Camp Nou. The local tycoons in the Middle East are not short of money at all.

If Barcelona dares to offer Aguero, they will dare to offer 100 million or 200 million to let you exchange for Messi.

So Guardiola has been in a headache for half a season. When he really couldn't find a suitable signing, he didn't make much of a move in the winter window.

Mourinho is now playing tactical exchange with Barcelona again, and Guardiola can only choose to believe in Messi.

Other Barcelona players can only firmly believe in Messi, just like Real Madrid believes in Ronaldo.

But unfortunately, the two superstars on the field today are not in very good condition.

In the first half, Ronaldo only shot three shots, and only one of them hit the goal frame.

There are Ronaldo's own reasons, but it can also be seen that Barcelona's defensive strategy today is still very successful.

Real Madrid also relied on Li Ang's tactical sacrifice to prevent Messi, who was in average condition, from successfully tearing open Real Madrid's back line.

In the first half, both sides seemed to be playing lively, but if we really want to talk about excellent opportunities, there was really no one.

On the other hand, the backcourt players on both sides did a good job on the defensive end today.

Barcelona stopped messing around, the four defenders were neatly arranged, and the combination of Pique and Abidal finally withstood the pressure of Real Madrid's crosses in the air defense.

There is no need to say more about Real Madrid. Li Ang made a tactical sacrifice, and there are two defensive midfielders, Alonso and Essien.

The rest of Barcelona's offensive players still have to spend some effort to get rid of their defense.

However, after the goalless draw in the first half, both teams chose to play more aggressively in the second half.

Real Madrid, who had been hiding for half a game, did not have serious physical consumption, and they could fully withstand the full attack in the second half.

Barcelona wanted to take the lead as soon as possible after Messi broke out.

Barcelona has no problem playing in the regular time period.

But they really don't want to drag the game into overtime later.

Barcelona players have enough physical fitness to play overtime, but they are really not good at playing overtime.

As for the penalty shootout that may come in the end, Guardiola has never thought about it.

Let alone him, Mourinho never thought that the game would go to the final moment of penalty kicks.

Real Madrid's strategic counterattack point was in the second half.

After not being very successful in seizing the ball at the beginning, Real Madrid resolutely launched a counterattack.

Busquets' speed has become a defensive weakness of Barcelona that Real Madrid can use many times.

But today, Adriano and Alves, who were inward, blocked Real Madrid's counterattack many times on the defensive end.

In the final analysis, Guardiola still learned the lesson of being broken by Real Madrid's counterattacks in the previous few times, but his way of dealing with it was to exchange the attack power of the wing for a more stable defense.

Alves didn't get on the side much, and the burden on Messi's shoulders was increased again.

This also made Mourinho depressed for a rare time.

He really didn't expect Guardiola to be so conservative in this final.

Neither team wanted to take the risk of making mistakes first, and the game time really went to the end of the regular time period bit by bit.

Li Ang was not as exhausted as he usually was in the match with Barcelona.

But he did not think that it was his own credit to silence Messi in 90 minutes today.

He could feel that Messi's performance today was indeed very average.

Even though Messi had a burst of energy at the beginning of the second half, after seeing Pedro, who received his pass, kick the ball away, Li Ang knew that Messi must be tired.

The current result seems to further verify his conjecture.

After entering the overtime, Barcelona, ​​who obviously had a better physical fitness, just like Real Madrid, gradually became heavier.

Perhaps it was because the Barcelona players were still immersed in the frustration of being eliminated from the Champions League by Chelsea?

Or was it because they saw Real Madrid win the two most important championships of this season, and the confidence of the Barcelona players was hit hard?

One by one, the speculative thoughts flashed through the minds of the Real Madrid players.

But no matter what, the current situation is very favorable to Real Madrid.

Even if it really came down to penalty shootouts.

During the water break in the extra time, Mourinho and Karanka obviously thought of this and began to give the players a shot of prevention.

Speaking of which, they had rehearsed the penalty shootout many times before, and in terms of psychological preparation, Real Madrid was not panicked at all.

They didn't know whether Barcelona was prepared or not, but at this moment in the game, if they really couldn't score, they could only bravely stand on the penalty spot and use their will and confidence to make the final decision!

The fans of both Real Madrid and Barcelona also became nervous at this time.

The time in the second half of the extra time passed quickly.

Before the end of the game, Ronaldo received a cross from substitute Kaka in the counterattack and competed for the header, and Messi broke out again and cut inside and shot after shaking off Li Ang, which once gave Real Madrid fans hope.

However, the goalkeepers of the two teams who performed well today refused to score at the last moment with stable performance.

Finally, the referee on duty blew the whistle to end the extra time!

The commentators and fans of various countries also felt nervous at this moment.

The brutal penalty shootout is really coming!

The coaches on both sides began to make the final arrangements for the penalty shootout.

Whether they are willing or not, they can only hand over the decision of the game to their own players.

There was a brief commotion on the Real Madrid side. Although it was quickly calmed down, it also attracted the attention of the live camera.

Puyol, who came on as a substitute in the extra time of Barcelona, ​​got priority in choosing sides with Casillas.

Needless to say, the old captain of Barcelona directly chose the side where Barcelona fans gathered.

And Casillas chose Real Madrid to take the penalty first!

This confident attitude made Puyol subconsciously feel bad.

And the next moment, when Valdes warmed up and walked to the goal line, Li Ang walked out with a smile, turning the football in his hand!

Yes, not C Ronaldo, Kaka and Ramos, Real Madrid sent Li Ang to play the penalty first!

This is also the penalty order that Li Ang fought for himself.

He was originally scheduled to take the fourth penalty kick, after Ramos and before Ronaldo.

His previously developed penalty kick skills and top-level stress resistance mentality won him the trust of his teammates and Mourinho.

And now, his initiative to volunteer has won the respect of almost all fans!

There is no coward in front of the twelve-yard line. The player who took the initiative to ask for the first penalty kick has an absolutely big heart!

Li Ang's confident smile and passing the ball at this moment may be deeply remembered by Real Madrid fans many years later!

Xu Yang, who was commentating on the game today, was a little trembling.

At least He Wei held up the scene and continued to cheer Li Ang up!

"Li Ang didn't do much. He calmly placed the ball, adjusted his pace, and looked at Valdez who began to twist his body on the goal line!

His expression was very calm. The referee blew the whistle! Li Ang took a run-up and shot! Wow!

The ball went in! The ball went in!

Li Ang shot the ball into the upper right corner of Barcelona's goal without hesitation!

Valdez jumped in the wrong direction! But even if he jumped in the right direction, it would be difficult for him to save Li Ang's powerful shot! He was too decisive and confident! Li Ang made a good start for Real Madrid!"

In He Wei's excited and fast commentary, it was already more than six o'clock in the morning in China, and many fans cheered and roared and jumped up from their seats!

Li Ang patted his chest and roared as if to vent, and cast encouraging and trusting eyes to his fans and his teammates!

The Real Madrid camp was boiling, and some of the Barcelona players on the other side began to look a little strange.

Fortunately, Messi, the first player to play for Barcelona, ​​did not show weakness this time. He used a powerful shot to the middle to deceive Casillas's prediction and helped Barcelona regain some morale.

After that, Kaka and Benzema, who played for Real Madrid, did not disappoint their previous hard training and achieved success in one go.

Confidence is something that becomes more and more abundant as one's team plays, and the opponent may be slightly affected.

Iniesta, who played for Barcelona in the second round, hit the lower left corner with a very fast speed.

Casillas finally jumped in the right direction but did not touch the ball. He was so angry that he slapped the grass, but his confidence in saving was completely up!

Sanchez, who played for Barcelona in the third round, had a blank expression on his face. He chose to hit the lower right corner of Real Madrid, which was the opposite of Iniesta, and it was also a ground ball.

However, this time, Casillas's save was more decisive than the last time, and the direction he predicted was exactly the lower right corner!

The moment Casillas saved Sanchez's penalty, the Real Madrid fans at the scene were instantly excited!

The morale of Real Madrid was also high, and everyone's belief in winning was strengthened!

Ramos played in the fourth round, facing Valdes' twisting posture, he hit the middle of the goal very resolutely!

Valdes rushed to the same lower right corner as Casillas!

Real Madrid took a 4-2 lead in the fourth round of the penalty shootout!

Even if Xavi, who came on later, helped Barcelona stabilize the situation and pulled the penalty score back to 4-3, Barcelona's hope of tying the score was already very slim.

Because the fifth person to take the penalty for Real Madrid was Cristiano Ronaldo!

Li Ang and the others did not cheer for Cristiano Ronaldo. At this time, all they could do was try not to interfere with Cristiano Ronaldo's shooting choice.

After Cristiano Ronaldo set up the ball, he looked at Valdes, who finally calmed down and looked solemn, with determination in his eyes!

The referee blew the whistle, and Cristiano Ronaldo started to run up. After running just right, Cristiano Ronaldo caught the ball and hit it in the upper left corner of the goal!

It was exactly opposite to the direction Li Ang chose at the beginning!

Valdes jumped in the right direction this time, but his speed of saving could not keep up with Cristiano Ronaldo's shooting speed at all!

The ball hit the net without any hindrance, and Cristiano Ronaldo's goal at the last moment completely ignited the gorgeous summer of Real Madrid fans!

"Ahhhhhhh!!! Triple Crown! We are the Triple Crown!!!"

Marcelo was the first to jump out excitedly, and the rest of the Real Madrid players followed closely behind!

However, when they sprinted to the penalty area, including Ronaldo, they all celebrated with a "bomber glide"!

This grand scene attracted countless reporters on the sidelines to take pictures, and also made the Real Madrid fans on the scene cheer more and more crazily!

This was the last suggestion made by Li Ang before the penalty shootout.

If they won this game, they would celebrate this great season destined to belong to Real Madrid with a collective celebration!

Triple Crown!

This season has been completely concluded!

When Mourinho raised his arms and shouted, watching the Barcelona fans in silence, he only had one thought in his mind.

"When you look at this crown, keep your head down!"

"Give a tribute to Real Madrid, the treble winner!!!"

Huh, this season is over, and I'm sorry to all the bosses for changing the time.

Finally, the foodie also shamelessly asked for a wave of subscriptions and votes~
