On the evening of May 7, Madrid Bernabeu Stadium.
In the thirty-seventh round of La Liga, Real Madrid host Malaga.
Before the game started, the atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium had already become extremely strong.
Not only because the impact of the championship has reached the white-hot stage, but more importantly, this is the last home game of the season.
After tonight, there will be no more games at the Bernabeu this season.
This is also Zidane's last battle at the Bernabeu.
As early as when the players were warming up, many fans in the stands had already set up huge portraits of Zidane. With Zidane's name, he is full of reluctance to part with this legendary superstar.
In fact, Zidane has not played for Real Madrid for a long time.
He joined from Juventus in 2001, and it has only been five years.
Even, in those five years, half of the time was painful.
If this season hadn't been taken over by Gao Shen, Zidane would have left the Bernabeu with regret and loneliness.
But now, he can welcome the fans' affection for him with his head held high.
Few people can understand the feelings of Real Madrid fans Zidane.
When it comes to superstars, Figo was the first to join; when it comes to cards, Ronaldo joined with the World Cup champion and the Golden Boot award; when it comes to popularity and influence, Beckham is even more stable than Zidane; Speaking of feelings, Raul and Casillas are Real Madrid's homegrown youth leaders...
But Real Madrid fans just love Zidane.
I like his elegance and calmness, like his flash of inspiration, like his words, deeds and actions...
It's hard to understand the feeling, but it's just love.
...
When the Real Madrid players were warming up, Florentino, who came to the Bernabeu early, stood in front of the box, silently watching Zidane in the stadium in a daze.
No one knows his mood at this moment, because he rarely confides the most real emotions in his heart.
Once upon a time, Florentino's greatest wish was to create a star team.
He knows the gameplay of professional football better than anyone else, and he knows the biggest advantage of a team like Real Madrid, so he has created a business system that is one of the best in the world for Real Madrid, and in a very short period of time, he has earned an amazing amount of money for Real Madrid. wealth.
He wants to bring in the top superstars for every position in Real Madrid, so that this beloved team, from the chairman to the coaches to the players, are all superstars, and then become the most unique and radiant legend in the history of world football.
But in just three years, his dream completely collapsed.
Figo and Owen were sent away by him personally, as well as Samuel, and now, it's Zidane's turn.
From the moment he stepped down, it was already proclaimed the end of his Florentino era of galactic battleships.
The only thing that surprised him was that Gao Shen led Real Madrid to a strong recovery in such an incredible way.
Although, everyone can see that this is just a flash in the pan.
But it's amazing enough.
Twenty-five years old, the age of genius.
Chinese, the largest football market in the world.
Tall, handsome, and sunny, he is a high-quality idol.
No matter how you look at it, this is a very interesting head coach with commercial value and media appeal.
Many people outside criticize the lofty and conservative, but Florentino asked Valdano, asked Sacchi and Di Stefano and others, and also learned about Butragueno, everyone who knows the ball. , and none accused him of being conservative.
Even, many people think that he is already considered radical.
His only weakness is that his experience is not rich enough, his ability is not mature enough, and he still needs to hone.
Florentino has always wanted to talk to Gao Shen, but has yet to find the opportunity.
But now, he suddenly realized that maybe his mind should change.
The reason why he was interested in Gao Shen was that Gao Shen could revive the galactic battleship.
But Figo and Owen are gone, Zidane is going to retire, Ronaldo doesn't know how long he can stay, and is there a galaxy battleship?
When thinking of this, Florentino couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart and a little sad.
The Galaxy battleship has sunk, is it necessary for his captain to come back?
...
Gao Shen seems to have long known that Real Madrid fans will prepare a farewell ceremony for Zidane.
So he specially arranged Zidane to start.
Not only Zidane, he also arranged for the superstars to start.
The goalkeeper is Casillas, the back line is Felipe, Elguera, Ramos and Abeloa, the double midfielder is Gravesen and Guti, and the front line is Raul, Zidane and Beckham M, the single striker is Ronaldo.
Almost all of them are teammates who have played alongside Zidane for many years.
Only 24 seconds into the game, Beckham sent a cross from the right, Zidane took advantage of the situation and sent the ball into the penalty area.
Ronaldo deftly got rid of the defender, and then plugged in to form a single-handed shot.
But unfortunately, he was decisively attacked by the opponent's goalkeeper Erno, and the ball was blocked, which defused Real Madrid's first attack.
In the third minute, a pass from Felipe from the left, Raul kicked an angry shot and was saved by the goalkeeper again.
A minute later, Zidane was also on the right side of the front of the penalty area and kicked a powerful long-range shot, slightly wide of the near corner.
Real Madrid, which is full of superstars, faced Malaga, who had already been relegated in advance, at the Bernabeu. They kicked out a continuous and powerful offensive, pressing Malaga to the half-court and unable to move.
The Real Madrid fans at the scene also shouted very vigorously.
That feeling is like returning to the peak season of the Galaxy Battleship, back to the atmosphere where the superstars perform as they please, the superstars on the court unleash their talents to the fullest, and the fans in the stands unscrupulously unleash it. shout out their passion.
It's a wonderful memory!
It is a lifetime memory for countless people!
In the 22nd minute of the game, Beckham sent a straight pass from the right, Raul slanted into the penalty area, took the lead to stop the ball, and was shoveled from behind by the Malaga defender.
The referee blew the whistle without hesitation, showed a yellow card and gave Real Madrid a penalty.
Raul grabbed Ronaldo's hand and got up from the ground, but instead of going to the penalty spot, he went straight to Zidane.
In an instant, the entire Bernabeu boiled again.
Real Madrid fans are very satisfied with this move by captain Raul.
Tonight, should really give Zidane a goal!
For nothing else, just to thank him for his contribution to Real Madrid and the happiness he has brought to Real Madrid fans in the past few years!
Zidane wanted to decline, but after praising Raul, the fans on the scene were all shouting his name.
With that momentum, even Gao Shen, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help applauding vigorously, shouting loudly for Zidane to take the penalty kick.
Other teammates also encouraged Zidane.
In the Real Madrid team, Zidane's popularity is still very good.
The Frenchman finally reached the penalty spot, placed the ball, stepped back slowly, made a quick run, and finished it overnight.
One to zero!
The audience is boiling again!
But Zidane didn't celebrate, but after scoring a penalty, he stood still with his head raised.
The live TV footage was zoomed in very close, and he could vaguely see him holding back tears, while the surrounding Real Madrid players had already rushed over to celebrate this memorable goal for him.
Many fans at the scene saw this scene through the big screen, and they were all infected.
As early as half a year ago, they already knew that Zidane was about to leave them.
But when they really came to the moment of separation, they realized that they were so reluctant to give up.
In the past two or three years, they have scolded Zidane a lot, because he did not perform well, he is getting older, and he is no longer the Zidane he used to be.
But now, they all regret it!
...
The match against Malaga was actually more like Zidane's Bernabeu farewell match.
The visiting team has good strength, but it is far from Real Madrid.
Real Madrid firmly controlled the situation on the field and did not give Malaga the slightest chance. After Malaga were relegated, they were basically broken. Even if they wanted to perform at the Bernabeu, it would be difficult to make a difference. as.
The 1-0 score continued from the first half to the second half.
Gao Shen replaced Zidane with Juan Mata in the 60th minute.
The Real Madrid youth training teenager has performed really well in recent times. Real Madrid fans have admired him quite a bit, and Gao Shen also hopes to give him more opportunities to show his face in front of the home team fans.
But it was not until the 85th minute that Real Madrid broke Malaga's goal again.
This is a cross from Beckham from the right. Soldado, who replaced Ronaldo, pushed in front of the goal and scored another victory for Real Madrid, rewriting the score to 2-0.
Then Gao Shen continued to make substitutions and adjustments.
Just when everyone thought that the game should be over, in stoppage time, Real Madrid won a corner kick.
Ramos once again jumped high in the penalty area and hit a header from close range to seal the victory for Real Madrid, three to zero!
The Real Madrid central defender has scored goals with consecutive headers recently, and has the potential to be a knife defender.
More importantly, under the advanced training, Ramos has also played better and better in this defensive system of Real Madrid. Although it is still frizzy and mistakes are made constantly, his role is becoming more and more obvious.
Everyone believes that he is becoming the backbone of Real Madrid's defense.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Malaga 3-0 at home with goals from Zidane, Soldado and Ramos.
After winning another three points, the pressure of the game was once again passed to Barcelona.
They will face the Spaniards at Camp Nou in this round, and this derby in the same city is not easy to play.
Real Madrid fans did not pay too much attention to the game on Barcelona's side, but after the game, they once again sent the warmest applause to Zidane and the Real Madrid fans at the scene.
Many fans were shouting for the players, and Raul took all his teammates and bowed around the stadium to thank the fans for their support for the team in the past season.
And the fans are also calling on the players, hoping they can continue to work hard.
The next two games are related to the two most important championships this season, but Real Madrid fans were unable to show up to support the team. They hope that the team can work together to bring the championship back to the Bernabeu!
