Chapter 511: Farce before the King's Cup
Taro Takemura dreams of becoming a celebrity himself.
As a figure who is a trendsetter in Japanese judo and even in world judo and free fighting, Taro Takemura has a good income. At least he does not have to worry about his life. But in fact, the judo industry is not very popular. Although he has many admirers, his income is not as good as that of an ordinary little star.
And, most importantly, Taro Takemura has never received so much attention, even when he was challenging masters from all over the world.
It is true that masters are all unknown. But now is the age of science and technology, so what is the point even if one has high martial arts skills?
So, when he saw many reporters flocking into the hotel and directly asking to interview him, Taro Takemura was very excited. He felt that his life might have undergone a big change.
So he immediately and happily invited these Spanish reporters into the room.
But at this time, Taro Takemura felt something unusual. The attitudes of some of these reporters were quite good, but they could not hide the contempt in their eyes, while the eyes of other reporters even burst out with naked anger.
"Mr. Takemura, what is your purpose in challenging Allen?" In this atmosphere, it was the reporter from Marca who asked the first question.
Hearing this, Takemura Taro said excitedly: "I am a Japanese judo enthusiast. In this regard, I think I have reached a peak. In the 1990s, I won two consecutive Olympic championships. After that, I went to challenge all over the world... Last time I heard that Allen Wang is a inheritor of Chinese martial arts, so I want to verify whether judo is stronger or Chinese Kung Fu is stronger..."
These reporters had good endurance. They listened to Takemura's words slowly, word by word. But the next question was not so good: "Mr. Takemura, don't you know that Allen is a football player?"
Takemura Taro was stunned. He hadn't really thought about this question when he came here. But he didn't know much about football either. He just said lightly: "It's nothing. I think martial arts has no national boundaries and has nothing to do with sports. I think he will definitely accept it..."
"How much did you receive from Barcelona?" Before Taro Takemura could finish his words, a loud voice asked directly.
"Barcelona?"
Before Takemura Taro could react, another reporter immediately asked, "It is said that you came to Spain on purpose to hurt Alan? Why did you do that?"
"I don't have any..."
"Are all Japanese so despicable and shameless?" This person has raised the issue to the level of a nation.
"Why did you choose this time to challenge Alan? Is it for money?"
"...Are you just trying to show off?"
As the reporters asked questions, Taro Takemura found that the interview process was heading in a direction he had not noticed, and it seemed that these reporters were not very friendly to him.
However, he no longer had time to think about this problem, because the hotel was in chaos at this time. The hotel manager said that there was a group of Real Madrid fans outside, who asked them to hand over Takemura Taro by name.
Apparently, these fans are not very friendly.
After hearing the news, all the reporters looked at Takemura Taro as if they were laughing at him, and then slowly dispersed. For a moment, Takemura Taro didn't know what to do.
"Real Madrid fans? Do I know them?"
While he was still confused, angry Real Madrid fans had already rushed into the hotel. Just a few hotel staff were unable to stop them. The Madrid police who heard the news stood outside to intercept them, but it seemed that they deliberately let a lot of fans into the hotel, which made the number of fans in the hotel increase.
Soon, some fans found Taro Takemura, and then more fans found Taro Takemura.
Although Taro Takemura's judo skills were very good and several European men could not get close to him, when he faced hundreds of European men, he became as helpless as an ordinary person.
The next day, Marca reported that 'Japanese tourists were attacked by unknown people'---
"......Yesterday, at the Northville Hotel, Mr. Takemura Taro, a Japanese tourist who came to Madrid for sightseeing, was attacked by unknown persons. According to witnesses, Mr. Takemura Taro was still in the hotel when those unknown persons rushed into the hotel. Faced with this situation, the hotel staff had no way to deal with it. In the end, the Madrid police found Mr. Takemura Taro in the garbage dump behind the hotel. At that time, he had six fractures all over his body."
"...Madrid police said they failed to catch a single criminal. Mr. Rio, who is in charge of the case, said, 'This is a rather suspicious fight. Taro Takemura may have some enemies in Madrid. We will try to contact the Japanese police to jointly solve the case.' The matter is still under further investigation."
Poor Taro Takemura was admitted to the hospital for unknown reasons. It is said that it will take at least six months for him to recover, and after that, he will not be able to do strenuous exercise.
When Taro Takemura encountered misfortune, Real Madrid's training was still going on as usual.
Now is the final stage of the league and also the final stage of other competitions. Carlo has cancelled the players' weekly holidays. He hopes that the players will still train as usual even during the holidays so that their bodies can recover faster.
Real Madrid needs to be in the best condition before every game. Only in this way can they perform at the team's highest level in important games and strive to win one victory after another.
At this time, as Real Madrid has achieved excellent results on three fronts, the club's top management, players and fans have all set their sights on winning the treble.
This was unimaginable when Real Madrid was in a low period around Christmas. At that time, Real Madrid's top management even thought about giving up this season. Even the club chairman Florentino Perez was looking to the next season. However, with Wang Li's comeback, Real Madrid has been winning streak until now.
Then the team's goal is of course the treble.
However, there are differences among these three crowns. For example, Real Madrid has given 100% effort to win the European Champions League. The championship of this event is of extremely high value, so giving up the other two championships for it is acceptable.
Real Madrid is determined to win the league title because their main rival Barcelona is already 6 points behind Real Madrid. In the next 5 league rounds, as long as nothing unexpected happens, there should be no obstacles for Real Madrid to win the league title.
As for the upcoming King's Cup, Real Madrid Club needs to think carefully about it.
In recent days, Carlo has been thinking about this issue, because the opponent is Espanyol, this team is not strong, but in a game that determines the ownership of the championship, they must burst out with strong strength. If Real Madrid really fights to the death with such a team, it may not be worth the loss, because after the final, it is the semi-finals of the Champions League, which is also something Carlo needs to focus on.
During this period of intense competition, Wang Li received many blessings, most of which came from England, but also from Germany and Italy. Up to now, Wang Li has gone through so many competitions and the baptism of Wolverhampton and Chelsea, and he has made many friends.
Although these friends who are not in Real Madrid will not win the European Championship, they still hope that Wang Li can win the European Championship again.
These blessings made Wang Li feel gratified. Seeing the blessings one by one, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
However, what moved him most was the congratulations from Thomas. He hoped that Wang Li could win the European Championship and then the two of them could participate in the World Cup in Germany together. He also mentioned that Harrison might also be able to enter the national team, which made Wang Li very happy.
Of course he hopes that his friends can perform well. Harrison and Thomas are both Wang Li's best friends. It would be great if they could join the England team together.
Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Harrison since joining Real Madrid, and he doesn't know how he has performed in the Premier League recently.
This situation made Wang Li feel a little guilty. After all, they were best friends, but he didn't even know how his friends behaved. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Wang Li rarely watched football reports. He was in Spain and didn't even watch the Spanish La Liga. In fact, when he didn't participate in Real Madrid's games, he didn't even watch Real Madrid's games. This habit was indeed inconsistent with his identity as a professional player.
No wonder even Messi couldn't recognize him when he played against Barcelona.
However, these are just digressions. Thinking of this, Wang Li immediately opened his notebook to check Harrison's situation this season.
Last season, Wolverhampton was tragically relegated, which made the team's top scorer Harrison Clarke the target of many teams. In the end, Manchester City unexpectedly came out and bought the young player for 12 million euros.
According to the data, Manchester City has performed well this season. They are now ranked seventh in the Premier League, and Harrison himself has participated in 30 league games and scored 19 goals.
It is no wonder that McClaren was tempted by this performance. Although the England team already has three powerful shooters in Wang Li, Rooney and Michael Owen, with Harrison's ability, there is absolutely no problem for him to be a substitute.
Thinking of the three of them joining the England team and participating in the World Cup together, Wang Li couldn't help but grin. He had been looking forward to that moment. Now in Real Madrid, even though the treble is about to be won, Wang Li still doesn't feel much. Except for extremely strong opponents, it is difficult for him to find much fun on the court.
Experts are lonely...
Unfortunately, Pete, who was also in the Wolverhampton youth team, might not be able to make it into McClaren's squad. Although his performances were acceptable recently, he was far behind shooters of their level. Besides, the England team did not lack forward players, and Pete's ability was still a little insufficient.
Nothing is perfect. Now that three people can enter the England team together, Wang Li is already very happy.
Before the King's Cup final, Real Madrid still has a league game to play, which is at home against Malaga.
This may be a game with little suspense.
At the beginning of this season, Malaga performed well, but after Christmas, the disadvantages of the small club became apparent. Their main players were injured one after another, and the bench depth was not enough. So far in the league, they have even promoted several new players from their youth team to join the first team to supplement the lineup.
The strength of such a team can be imagined. It is too difficult to achieve good results in the top La Liga.
But despite this, Malaga still has to fight to avoid relegation. Now, a league point is also very important for them, which will be of great help to their relegation. Although the opponent is the almost "impossible to beat" Real Madrid, for the club's relegation, they have a strong will on the court and showed an "undivided" look at the opening.
This situation made Carlo a little worried.
The King's Cup final is the day after tomorrow, so he only sent out a few main players in this game. Most of the first-team players were not included in the roster. Even Wang Li, who basically has no physical problems, was placed on the bench by Carlo.
But the game was very intense at that time. In order to win, Magalha's players even adopted foul tactics. This situation made Carlo worry that some players would be injured.
Sure enough, in the 61st minute of the game, Ronaldo, who started the game, was knocked to the ground by the opponent and did not get up at all. He was carried off the field by the team doctor.
At this time, Carlo stared at Wang Li for a long time, and was hesitant about whether to send him to the court.
The current situation on the field makes him hesitate. He doesn't want the black-haired boy to get injured. That would be a huge blow to Real Madrid.
In Carlo's heart, even if Ronaldo, Raul and Robinho were all injured, he didn't want Wang Li to be injured, because it was obvious that Wang Li's performance alone was definitely stronger than the three of them combined, which could be seen by just looking at the number of goals.
"...Coach, let Alan play, he won't get hurt." said Beckham, who was also on the bench.
Beckham's words still have a certain effect. Although Beckham is usually very popular and can be said to be a good guy in the team, it is precisely because of this, and with his popularity and strength, that he is definitely one of the few top figures in the Real Madrid locker room. Even head coach Carlo does not want to offend such players, because these players are all Real Madrid's treasures.
Hearing Beckham's words, Carlo was a little dazed. He thought about it and it seemed that he had never seen this black-haired boy injured. Looking at his bored expression sitting on the bench, Carlo decided to let Wang Li play.
Wang Li, who had just come on the pitch, obviously became the 'target' of the Malaga players.
Now both sides on the court have really been playing with anger, although no one has scored a goal, the game has become extremely fierce, and it looks more like a wrestling match. Both sides can't cooperate at all because of too many fouls.
As Wang Li is a weather vane player for Real Madrid, Malaga is certainly aware of his strength. If they let this black-haired boy play freely, then they will have no hope of winning.
Then, several Malaga players started to commit malicious fouls against Wang Li for "sexual reasons".
They didn't really want to kick Wang Li off the field, they just wanted to intimidate him in this way, hoping that Wang Li would not be able to perform at his best, so that the team would have hope of winning.
However, their foul was soon retaliated.
Wang Li is definitely not someone who is easy to bully. Although he looks gentle, he is not light-footed. In the first few times, he deliberately avoided the black feet of Malaga players. But then he thought about Ronaldo being kicked off the field, and saw the behavior of these Malaga players, the anger in his heart rose.
So, in the 69th minute of the game, a Malaga player tried to tackle Wang Li's ball again, but Wang Li put his legs on the grass, waiting for the opponent to tackle him, and then the player was unable to get up after the tackle.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Li blasted open Malaga's door with a powerful long-range shot, and the score became 1:0.
I don't know what these Malaga players were thinking. When the defender left the field, they did not learn a lesson. Instead, they became even more aggressive. It was obvious that they wanted to "avenge" their teammates.
Seeing this situation, Wang Li frowned deeply. In fact, under normal circumstances, he did not want to use any violence on the court, but the opponent was taking advantage of the situation and this made him angry.
So, just 3 minutes later, Wang Li deliberately paused when dribbling past the opponent, making the opponent's defender think that he had a chance to steal the ball, and then the two of them completed a foot contact in front and behind the football. As a result, under the somewhat palpitating gaze of all Real Madrid fans, the body of the Malaga player completed a 90-degree rotation in the air above the court, and fell face down on the grass like a dog eating shit.
“Ouch… Ouch…”
After falling, the player kept making this sound from his mouth and was never able to get up again.
After that, the Malaga players' playing style became much softer. In their opinion, the black-haired boy was simply a devil. The opponent's player was injured after being tackled, and the scene just now was even more shocking. After the kick, their player was directly knocked over and fell on his back to the ground. What kind of power was this?
It's like an adult playing football with a child.
No one wants to repeat the experience of the two players just now. After all, they are professional players, not sold slaves of Malaga. When they play on the court, they must first consider themselves and then the team's results.
If the team successfully avoids relegation, but they have to be injured for half a year, no one will want that because it affects their careers.
Under such circumstances, the following game will be much easier.
In the end, thanks to Wang Li's two goals and Granveson's goal before the end of the game, Real Madrid won 3:0 at home.
This victory also made Carlo breathe a sigh of relief. Now, all his energy can be focused on the King's Cup in two days. This is the first championship trophy that Real Madrid has a chance to win this season, so he has no choice but to be cautious.
