v1 Chapter 32: Opening of La Liga

"Fox of the Forbidden Zone"

The opening match of the 0708 season of La Liga was between the defending champion Catalan and the eleventh place Turias last season.

This summer, the Catalan United pursued Hu Lai and Kabanka at the same time.

As a result, Hou Lai chose the Madrid Pirates, while Kabanka failed to join the Catalan United because Atletico Manchester did not agree to release him.

As a result, Cathay-Thai United spent more than a month of work, but it was nothing.

This is not to say that they have nothing to gain in the transfer market, it's just that they don't have any important signings.

The important signings are naturally Hu Lai or Kabangka.

Of course, they did not give up on continuing to introduce Kabangka, after all, the transfer window has not yet closed. Anything can happen before September 1st.

After snatching back a league title from the Madrid King, who has won three consecutive league titles, the Catalan United are ambitious. On the one hand, they want to stabilize their performance in La Liga. On the other hand, they naturally pursue a breakthrough in the Champions League and win the Champions League again. champion.

Neither of the two strong players won, which is not good news for Catalan United in the new season.

But for the talented player Mario Salado they have cultivated, it is a major benefit.

Because this means that the team will give him more opportunities and rely more on him, and he can also fully get a stage for training and displaying his talents.

Salado suffered an injury last season and missed three months. This is the first major injury he has suffered since entering the Catalan United first team.

Fortunately, he recovered well without leaving any sequelae. With the rapid recovery ability of his young body, he still performed well after returning to the court.

In the case of missing three months due to injury, he scored 14 goals and assisted eight times for Catalan in La Liga all season.

Scored one goal and assisted three times in the Champions League.

Six goals and one assist in the Copa del Rey.

In one season, he scored 21 goals and assisted 12 times.

Performed very well.

Has been regarded by the Catalan media as someone who can really compete with Meli.

In the absence of Kabanka, the Catalan United also increased their efforts to train Salado.

Of course, this does not mean that the Catalan United have given up on Kabanka, they will definitely continue to work hard to win Kabanka.

And with Hu Lai joining the Madrid Pirates, the Catalan United can even use this as a bait to lure Kabanka and help him make up his mind-Hu Lai and Meli are both in La Liga, don’t you want to come to Catalonia and the two of them? Is it long or short?

Although Hu Lai is far inferior to Meli in terms of personal honor and team honor, but because of the 120 million transfer fee, he has become the most expensive player among players under the age of 24.

So to some extent, he can indeed be compared with Meli.

Public opinion recognized that Hu Lai has become a leader among young footballers in the world.

At the same time, his every move after transferring to the Madrid Pirates will be closely watched by the media to see if he can live up to everyone's evaluation and expectations of him.

120 million euros, even in the entire European football world, that is a huge transfer fee.

It is the only one among players under the age of 24.

This is not only a great honor, but it is also a great pressure for Hu Lai.

If he does not perform well and is dissatisfied with La Liga, then he will become the biggest parallel importer in the history of the Madrid Pirates Club, even if it is placed in the entire history of La Liga, he can still compete for the top spot.

In the opening game of the league, Mario Salado, who started the game for Catalan United, performed very actively. He scored one goal and assisted two goals, helping Catalan United beat Turias with six goals at home.

As the eleventh place last season, Turias' strength is good. After all, they are a small team, but their results have been stable in the middle in recent years. He even won the sixth place in the league in the 0506 season, so he qualified for the Europa League.

So this eleventh place last season was won when they participated in the Europa League.

In such a comparison, they are much better than Sarria, who participated in the Europa League but caused the team to be relegated.

Such a team that is stable in the middle and can still compete for the European qualification, but in the first round of the league, they were beaten 0:6 by Catalan United.

This shows the strength of the Catalan United.

At the same time, it also allowed outsiders like Hu Lai to see the power of the "Xi Chao".

The so-called "Western Super League" means that the strength of the three super giants in La Liga is obviously stronger than other teams. overtake". The other seventeen teams play in the First Division, one level below the Super League.

Similarly, England has big6, which actually means the same thing.

But because there are as many as six teams in England's giants, the competition among the giants is fierce enough, so there will be no monopoly.

The top three of the Western Super League and other Spanish teams are too far apart, forming a monopoly.

Historically, La Liga was established in 1910, and it has gone through 117 years, and 113 league titles have been born-because of the Spanish Civil War, it was suspended for three years.

Among the 113 league titles, the King of Madrid has 35, the Catalan United has 28, and the Madrid Pirates have 20.

The total number of championships won by the three heroes of the Western Super League is 83, accounting for 73% of the total number of La Liga championships.

It can be said to be very monopolistic.

And these three teams are also the only teams in the history of La Liga that have never been relegated.

That's why they can become the three heroes of the Western Super League.

Of course, the reasons why these three families can become giants are different.

The King of Madrid was originally backed by the royal family, and later he was also the favorite of the big capitalists, nobles, and rich people. They took the upper-class route.

The Catalan United is backed by the whole of Catalonia, supplying this team with the most economically developed region, and cultivating a wealthy family.

The Madrid Pirates really rely on the working class and the people at the bottom, relying on their fighting spirit, and use their fighting power to win enough honors, so that they can be called the "Three Heroes of the Western Super League" with the first two. Of course, in this process, the Madrid Pirates also have a large capital injection, and many chairmen are also wealthy. But these rich people, without exception, were born at the bottom, started from scratch, and worked hard.

For example, although Carlos Lombo, the current chairman of the Madrid Pirates Club, is a rich man with assets of 800 million euros, he was also from a civilian family in the southern city of Madrid, and he made his fortune step by step.

He has been a diehard fan of the Madrid Pirates since he was a child. For ordinary families like him, the Madrid Pirates are simply their beliefs. So even if he developed, he did not change his beliefs, and still loved the Madrid Pirates. He loved it so much that he became the club president of the Madrid Pirates.

Compared to the smaller teams that really came from the bottom, the Madrid Pirates were, of course, colossal. But if compared with the King of Madrid and Catalan United, it is indeed slightly inferior.

This can be seen from the net worth of the club presidents of the two rival teams in the same city:

It was said before that Carlos Lombo, chairman of the Madrid Pirates Club, has assets of 800 million euros and can only rank 50th on the Spanish rich list. Juan Beneto, chairman of the King of Madrid Club, has a net worth of 2.5 billion euros and ranks among the top ten richest people in Spain.

If nothing else, the La Liga champions this season will also be born among the three Western Super League teams: King of Madrid, Pirates of Madrid and Catalan United.

It is difficult for other teams to compete with them.

After the game between Catalan and Turias, the new season of La Liga kicked off completely.

Zhang Qinghuan also ushered in the first game of his second La Liga season.

Last season, Sarria first struggled to relegation in the league. Unexpectedly, he soared to the sky in the end. At the end of the season, he won the seventh place in the league. With the King's Cup champion, the King of Madrid has already qualified for the Champions League and won the UEFA Champions League. League Cup tickets.

So this summer, the Sarria Club first renewed the contract with the team's head coach Arno Casas, and then recruited troops to expand its strength. I hope that the same mistakes will not be repeated this time, and I can not only make a breakthrough in the Europa League, but also stay in the First Division smoothly.

Although Sarria has strengthened the lineup, Zhang Qinghuan still won the trust of the head coach Casas. He started the first game of the new season.

In the end, Saria scored a draw with Samir Sports in the away game.

Zhang Qinghuan did not score or assist in the game.

As a midfield commander, his performance is quite satisfactory.

In fact, for many people, this performance is already qualified.

Because there is no mistake.

As long as you don't make a mistake, you can occupy a place in the team's starting lineup~lightnovelpub.net~ Only by playing consecutive games can you have a chance to perform well.

Moreover, Zhang Qinghuan, who is already a second-year student in La Liga, was obviously valued by his opponents during the game.

Under such circumstances, it is really good to be able to show such a performance.

Hu Lai's standard cannot be used to demand Zhang Qinghuan, the two of them are completely different.

※※※

The game between Sarria and Samir Sports was held at night, and Zhang Qinghuan returned to his home in downtown Barcelona the next day.

After dinner with Uncle Yong in the evening, they stayed in front of the TV and watched another game.

The TV is showing the bus of the Madrid Pirates heading to the windsurfing stadium, home of the Seville Navigators.

There are police escorts at the front and rear of the bus.

They are not here to help the Madrid pirates show their prestige, but to protect the Madrid pirates.

Because just behind the bus and the police, there are also some private cars.

These are the fans of the Sevilla Voyagers. They followed the bus of the Madrid Pirates, yelling and cursing all the way, and they chased them all the way.

Zhang Qinghuan, who has played in La Liga for a year, has naturally seen this kind of scene. He laughed: "Haha! Navigator's 'meeting ceremony', I don't know if Hu Lai can stand it!"

Then the broadcast screen switched to a close-up shot of the pirate's black bus.

It was Hu Lai who appeared in the car window in the camera.

I saw him holding his mobile phone, facing out of the car window, as if he was taking pictures or videotaping.

He took this noisy scene as a Western scene! (to be continued)
