Chapter 275 Just Like Eating and Drinking Water, It's Common

Real Madrid is the most successful club in the history of the Champions League.

They have won 9 Champions League titles.

Two more than second-placed AC Milan.

But many people are a bit unconvinced by this.

For example.

Of Real Madrid’s 9 Champions League titles.

Five of them were won more than half a century ago - when the Champions League was just born, Real Madrid won five consecutive Champions League titles,

Many people think so.

The gold content of Real Madrid's nine Champions League titles needs to be discounted.

Fundamentally speaking.

The Champions League.

It was established under the initiative of Real Madrid Club.

At the beginning of the birth of the European Champions League, the predecessor of the Champions League.

The European Champions Cup does lack sufficient brand power and appeal.

For example, England's top league has long dismissed the European Champions League.

The first club to be interested in the European Champions League was Manchester United.

Manchester United is also the first club in England to win the European Champions Cup.

but.

With the development of the European Champions Cup.

Especially after it was restructured into the Champions League.

The Champions League has become the most technical competition in the world today.

From the perspective of brand value and attention.

Of course, the World Cup is still unique.

But many football experts believe that from a technical level, it is a recognized fact that the Champions League has surpassed the World Cup.

There are fundamental differences in the organizational situations of club and national teams.

The tacit understanding and tactical maturity between teammates in the club far exceed that of the national team.

Therefore, the club can purchase suitable players for the head coach through the transfer market and form a perfect team with almost no tactical flaws. At the same time, because the club has far more games and training time than the national team, there is a strong relationship between the players. The tacit understanding can be fully cultivated, so more complex tactical coordination can be played in the club.

This is at a tactical level.

The same is true in terms of value.

The worth of both sides in the World Cup final.

There is often a slight gap between the value of the two sides in the Champions League final.

on the other hand.

Not all top players have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup.

For example, for some stars from small football countries, even if they can participate in the World Cup, it is almost impossible for them to win the World Cup championship.

For example, Swedish center Ibrahimovic, such as Ukrainian center Shevchenko, etc.

These players are all top players.

But because of the weakness of their own national team.

They will almost never win the world championship.

for these players.

The Champions League is the highest honor they can win.

Ukrainian player Shevchenko, who plays for AC Milan, once said: "For me, the Champions League final is my World Cup final!"

at that moment.

Shevchenko helped AC Milan defeat Juventus and win the 2003 Champions League.

then.

Shevchenko returned to his hometown with the Champions League trophy.

Came to the tombstone of his football mentor Barovsky.

With the Champions League winner's trophy.

Condolence to my mentor.

At that time, Ukraine almost never participated in the World Cup.

They do have a few well-known stars.

But it is too difficult to break through the World Cup in Europe.

In Shevchenko's prime, in his prime.

Ukraine has almost no chance of qualifying for the World Cup.

That's why Shevchenko is so pessimistic.

But fate is often so magical - three years after Shevchenko won the Champions League, he led Ukraine to miraculously break through the European qualifiers and appear in the World Cup in Germany.

As for Li Mo today.

He came to Real Madrid.

The biggest goal.

Just to help the team win the Champions League! !

He never shied away from this.

The media in Madrid are also highlighting this.

Real Madrid president Florentino also made no secret of Real Madrid's ambitions for the Champions League.

Li Mo is the biggest player he introduced.

The only reason for Real Madrid to spend a lot of money.

It's the Champions League title they've longed for.

Real Madrid's first opponent in the Champions League is Basel, a giant team in the Swiss Super League.

The jerseys of this team are almost identical to those of Barcelona.

In fact.

This team also has a close relationship with Barcelona.

The founder of Barcelona Football Club is a Swiss named Hans Gamper.

Gamper was a professional player when he was young.

Plays for Swiss giant Basel.

After retiring.

Gamper settled in Barcelona.

Here he actively promoted football and eventually decided to form a club. Gamble gradually gathered around him some people with similar ambitions who were all interested in football, even though the sport was not known to most people at the time.

On November 29, 1899, the dream of creating FC Barcelona became a reality.

The jersey of the Basel club where Gamber played for was composed of dark red and blue, so in Barcelona, ​​he swapped the two colors to form the founding jersey of the Barcelona club.

FC Barcelona is a club founded by a former Basel player.

Real Madrid met Basel in the Champions League.

Rounding off, it can be regarded as a "small Spanish national derby".

However, Basel's strength is obviously not enough to play a derby with Real Madrid.

Although it is an away game.

But most media, fans, and critics believe.

Real Madrid will easily win away.

But Basel obviously doesn't think so.

In the pre-match media interview, they said that Basel would never be afraid of Real Madrid, and they would not surrender directly at their home court.

The game has not started yet.

In the distant Dragon Country, fans are also paying close attention to this game.

Because in this game, Li Mo, the most popular star in Dragon Country, will finally make his debut in the Champions League.

Everyone is discussing with great interest how Li Mo will perform in the Champions League.

He has scored twice in three consecutive games in the La Liga.

Will he continue his crazy state in the La Liga in the Champions League?

Everyone is guessing how many goals Li Mo can score in the game.

Some speculated that he would score twice.

Some speculated that he would score a hat trick.

Everyone was full of confidence in Li Mo.

But these speculations.

Still greatly underestimated Li Mo's enthusiasm for the Champions League.

"Li! Li Mo!! Li Mo!! Beautiful! Beautiful!! Oh oh oh! Beautiful goal! Beautiful long shot!!!"

The commentators stood up from their seats and cheered.

"Real Madrid took the lead in the eighth minute of the game, the scorer. Li Mo!!"

"The game started only eight minutes, and Real Madrid scored a goal. The man who helped Real Madrid score the goal was still that man! Li Mo! He is now the guarantee of Real Madrid's goals!"

"Li Mo opened his goal account in the Champions League with a shocking long shot!"

"Li Mo scored a crazy 23 goals in the Champions League last season. This season, can he continue this crazy goal momentum?"

"This is the beginning of Li Mo leading Real Madrid to the Champions League title!!"

In the stands.

Real Madrid fans and Li Mo's supporters cheered.

The players in the Real Madrid coaching bench were also cheering.

The game was scored in the eighth minute.

This is definitely a good start.

Real Madrid got off to a dream start.

Every season.

Real Madrid's goal is the same: they want to win the tenth Champions League in team history!

The tenth championship in team history.

This is almost becoming Real Madrid's obsession.

Li Mo did not stop after scoring the first goal.

His desire for goals is one of the spiritual pillars that support him to continue to score goals.

Basel's strength is actually quite good.

They are a well-deserved super giant in the Swiss Super League.

Their status in the Swiss Super League is similar to that of Real Madrid in La Liga.

Before the Bosman Act.

Teams like Basel can actually compete with Real Madrid, Barcelona and other teams.

The strength gap between the giants in European countries was not particularly large at that time.

At that time, the European Champions Cup often saw the scene of small country league champions winning the championship.

But now.

As the European football world has formed a pattern of "the strong will always be strong".

Small league giants like Basel have gradually become the blood supply source for the four major league teams.

Basel, playing at home, was very tenacious.

They had not lost the second goal until the 30th minute of the game.

They even threatened Casillas' goal through a counterattack.

But in the 31st minute of the game.

Li Mo scored again.

"Li got the ball outside the penalty area, beautiful! Beautiful turn, dunk, and broke into the penalty area!! Li Mo!!!!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

"Two to zero! Two to zero! Two to zero!!! Li Mo! It's Li Mo!!"

"Scored twice!!"

"Beautiful!"

"Turning, passing, shooting, the action was done in one go, without any drag. He is the most terrifying center forward, he is the most terrifying goal machine in the history of the Champions League!"

"Basel felt the dilemma of all the teams facing Li Mo, and they found that they could not effectively defend Li Mo at all."

The commentator was right.

Li Mo not only has strong positioning and scoring abilities.

But he is also very good at heading.

Long shots are also reliable.

He is also top-notch in physical confrontation.

He is very good at all means of scoring.

And he is very balanced with both feet.

This makes it more difficult for defenders to defend.

Li Mo scored twice.

This time, the excitement of Real Madrid players was slightly lower.

After all, the opponent is Basel.

Although their jerseys are very similar to Barcelona (correction: Barcelona's jerseys are very similar to Basel).

But, they don't have the strength of Barcelona after all.

The feeling of defeating Basel for Real Madrid players is definitely not as good as defeating Barcelona.

In the media seats.

The reporters were all shocked by Li Mo's performance.

"Too amazing."

"I guess Real Madrid has basically no opponents in the group stage"

"Liverpool is not good either."

"Liverpool, who lost Suarez, is expected to return to the middle of the Premier League."

"Perhaps only in the knockout stage will there be a team that will be difficult for Real Madrid."

Li Mo scored twice in the first half, helping Real Madrid to lead by two goals.

But Basel, playing at home, was still quite tenacious.

Not long after the start of the second half.

Basel scored a goal by luck.

They got a corner kick, and after the tactical corner kick.

Basel midfielder Luca kicked the ball hard towards the goal from the right side of the penalty area.

The football hit Marcelo's shin guard, producing a very strange refraction, and flew into the goal in everyone's astonishment.

Own goal!

Basel scored a goal with an own goal, and the score was rewritten to 1:2.

Basel, who scored a goal, was like a chicken blood, and the fighting spirit was high to the extreme.

However, just when they had some ideas about the game.

Li Mo stood up again.

Smashed all the delusions of the Basel players.

Modric dribbled the ball to the back of the goal at the corner of the penalty area.

Li Mo, who rushed in from outside the penalty area, jumped high.

He seemed to be gliding in the air. After flying more than two meters, he rushed in front of the defender and hit the ball into the goal!

1:3

Real Madrid once again expanded the score to two goals.

"Hat-trick!!!!"

In the commentary booth.

Ole, the commentator of Cope Radio, exclaimed.

"Hat-trick! Hat-trick! Hat-trick!!!"

All the commentators were crazy.

Li Mo will definitely score in the first Champions League game of this season.

This is the consensus of everyone.

There is no suspense.

But. Everyone thinks that the difficulty of a hat-trick is still quite high.

Great, scoring twice.

But who would have thought.

Li Mo completed a hat-trick like this.

In the 60th minute of the game, he scored his third goal in the Champions League this season.

It was like this was not a hat trick of great difficulty, but coming to Basel to attend a dinner party and scoring three goals, which was as common as eating and drinking water for him.

He is simply a monster!

This was the first thought in many people's minds.
