Chapter 84: The Bernabéu

Chapter 84: The Bernabéu

The Bernabeu Stadium, the full name of the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, the dream theater of world football, was officially completed on December 14, 1947. It could initially accommodate 80,354 spectators. The capacity of the club continued to increase. In 1952, it could accommodate as many as 120,000. One of the most famous football stadiums in the world.

After 2005, the Bernabéu Stadium was selected as a five-star stadium by the UEFA. If the five-star stadium is rated, it means that the stadium can become the venue for the European Champions Cup final.

The stadium has also hosted many memorable international events, most notably the 1982 World Cup final, and it was also where Spain won its first international award, Euro 1964.

As the owner of this stadium, Real Madrid's glorious record in European football is not worthy of this great stadium at all, just like the slogan used by Real Madrid: the best team, the best stadium.

Here, there is one person who is absolutely indispensable. With his belief and foresight, he successfully led and completed this huge project. He is the symbol of Real Madrid-Santiago Bernabeu.

Before the establishment of the Bernabeu, Real Madrid did not have a stable home, but moved several times. It was not until Santiago Bernabeu was elected as the club's president in 1943 that Real Madrid began to build a home that truly matched its identity.

In 1947, the stadium began to be used under the name "lselln", and it was not until early 1955 that the stadium was renamed after the chairman.

On December 14, 1947, with the opening match between Real Madrid and Portuguese club Sbelenenses, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was officially inaugurated, it was the best and most modern stadium in the world at the time. The first expansion that followed in 1954 also made it the largest.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Real Madrid won six Champions League titles, five of which were won consecutively. It is definitely a record that has never been seen before or since.

In 1964, the Spanish national team won the first European Cup championship trophy in the history of the national team here. Since then, from the end of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century, in the re-improved Bernabeu, the club ushered back three Champions League trophies in five years, and the silver Bernabeu has once again become the center of European football.

In the 1982 World Cup, the stadium underwent a large-scale renovation and reconstruction. This will be the venue for the finals. The number of stands has been reduced to 90,000, and the most advanced scoring screens have also been installed in the venue.

On the final day of the 1982 World Cup, the stadium was packed, and Italy finally defeated the German team to win their third World Cup championship in history.

Tardelli's frantic expression after scoring Italy's second goal, which put the Italians ahead of the Germans, earned him a place in football lessons.

People will always remember the excited expression on Tardelli's face at that time and his crazy celebration. He rushed to the bench on the sidelines with great excitement to celebrate the goal with the coach and teammates.

Italy's golden boy Rossi Paulo Rossi also scored goals in that final. He not only won the championship medal, but also won the top scorer. Another Italian football legend, goalkeeper Dino. Zoff also ushered in the pinnacle of his football career, he received the championship trophy from King Juan Carlos I of Spain in 1982, he was already 40 years old.

It can be said that the Bernabeu stadium has carried countless brilliance in the history of football. After entering the new century, although Real Madrid's performance has declined, the Bernabeu once again shocked the world this season, and Florentino re-assumed the chairmanship Later, the second generation of Galaxy Battleship was built with a huge amount of money, so a series of world-class superstars such as Ronaldo, Kaka, and Benzema joined in.

Today's Real Madrid can be described as star-studded, but the current Fiorentina is not too far behind, not to mention Digan and Beckham, the new and old male gods, that is, Modric, Fellaini, Kompany, Thiago. People like Silva are now among the ranks of world-class stars as Fiorentina's performance is getting better and better.

Therefore, in the face of Real Madrid's second phase of the Galaxy Battleship project, the Fiorentina team did not pee at all.

The best team of the 21st century is not self-proclaimed. It is the mule or the horse that comes out and wanders around. You will know when the time comes.

Comparing all aspects, Fiorentina definitely has the upper hand in defense. Fiorentina's goalkeeper and defenders are Frey, Pasquale, Kompany, Thiago Silva and De Sciglio.

Real Madrid's goalkeeper and defenders are Casillas, Garay, Albiol, Pepe and Ramos respectively.

From the point of view of fame, there are five players in Fiorentina, one is the main goalkeeper of the French team, two are the backbone of the Italian national team's defense, one is the vice-captain of the Belgian national team, and one is the defense leader of the Brazilian national team. Except for Silio, the other four are experienced players who have played for Fiorentina for many years.

Real Madrid's defense is different. Apart from Casillas who is considered to have top strength, Garay is still very young and inexperienced. Although Ramos and Pepe are known as world-class, they are not stable enough. In particular, Ramos' brainless assists and Pepe's single-cell brain are bombs that can detonate at any time. In addition, Albiol is only a marginal figure in the Spanish national team, and his ability can only be regarded as average. .

The only thing that can be compared is the goalkeeper. Casillas and Frey are almost equal in terms of strength and state. However, Casillas has just recovered from his waist injury, and it is difficult to predict how he will be on the spot.

Although people were more optimistic about Real Madrid to win before the game, those real professionals in the football circle were more optimistic about Fiorentina.

The support of former opponents Ferguson and Wenger is the best gift to Fiorentina. Yesterday, when the head coaches of Manchester United and Arsenal told their hearts about the winner of the Champions League final, they all pointed to Fiorentina.

"Predicting the championship is too difficult, but you have to say that Fiorentina are more experienced and more stable, which can play a key role in a final. Real Madrid's performance on the field this season is very beautiful, but it is not stable enough. If you can Give Pellegrini another two years, and Real Madrid may have a better chance." Wenger predicted in an interview, "Fiorentina's advantage is that their defense is in place, which may help them lock the final championship. "

Sir Ferguson, who had lost to Fiorentina twice, also stood by Fiorentina this time. Sir Ferguson said: "Degan has an ability, he can make the whole Fiorentina look different, I think they will win the championship in the end, but Royal One thing that worries Madrid is their star."

This season, it was Real Madrid that eliminated Manchester United in the semi-finals. Jin Maoluo hit back and scored a home and away goal to help Real Madrid finally defeat their old club.

"Guys! The enemy is coming! I don't need to emphasize how important this game is. If we win this game, we are the champions. We are the first European kings to win three consecutive championships after the Champions Cup reform. "

"The people of Madrid must think they have won now. The whole world is probably on their side. Why? Giampaolo, what do you think!?"

Pacini put on a cynical look, and said: "That's strange, people want to see a festive scene, the Madrid people won the championship at their doorstep, that scene, wow! It must be very lively ."

Pacini's words caused a burst of laughter in the locker room, and Degan couldn't help laughing: "That's very well said, that's about it. Madrid people think they are noble, they think they are born to be champions, In their eyes, the others are nothing more than a bunch of bumpkins. Even if they haven't won the championship for several years, their innate superiority will not change. Just like this game, from the very beginning, they felt that they were looking down on us , Do you know what looking down is? Looking from top to bottom, those Madrid people have always thought that their status is higher than ours, and it is much higher. Maybe they think that playing us is a charity for us! Ma Lu Wan, what do you think we should do?"

Fellaini yelled, "Kick their balls!"

Digan smiled and clapped his hands: "That's right, I like this saying, it's vulgar enough! This is the image of us in their eyes, vulgar, despicable, there is no way, that's what they think, white nobles, purple Every farmer knows who he should support!"

"People are looking forward to a great moment. Real Madrid become the first super king to win ten Champions League trophies, and become the veritable best team of the 21st century. Who cares about the life and death of humble Fiorentina? Except us, That group of damn noble gentlemen wanted us to be their little supporting roles to climb to the top, our answer is, think too much!"

The teammates laughed when they heard the words, and the tense atmosphere before the game disappeared for a while.

"Okay! Guys! Today is indeed going to be a great moment, but not Real Madrid. Those self-righteous nobles will fall in front of us humble little people today. Think about it. Is it exciting? !?"

"That's right! Rhodes! Fuck them!"

"Let them kneel before us and admit defeat!"

Degan's voice suddenly rose: "Yes! We want to overthrow them and let people all over the world know who is the greatest team, it is us, it is Florence, it is us little people, we will Defeat all the self-righteous nobles, let them tremble when they see our purple and gold shirts from now on, let them dare not say those nonsense in front of us from now on!"

Look at the time, it's time to play, the staff of UEFA has come to urge several times just now: "Let's go! Guys! This is the territory of the Madrid people, but after ninety minutes, we will Conquer the Bernabéu!"

When Degan led his teammates to the starting position, the Real Madrid players had been waiting for a while, and from a long distance, Degan saw his brother Kaka.

"Ricardo! I will disappoint you again today!"

Kaka smiled: "Okay! Rhodes! Don't be self-righteous, don't forget that this is our territory, I am very sorry, your curtain call performance in Florence, I will spoil the situation!"

As an opponent, Kaka is really not likable. Digan and Kaka hugged, and directly ignored Jin Maoluo, who was about to talk about it, and walked to the front. Standing next to him was Real Madrid in this game. Iker Casillas, captain of the field.

The old golden boy Raul is basically about to be given up by Real Madrid now. The former favorite of the Bernabeu is getting old, and when it's time to get out, this is the human touch of Real Madrid.

Casillas is not a person who is good at words, and he has no hatred with Degan. If there is anything to say, it was also in the European Cup. Degan's goal made him lose a lift of Delaunay cup of chance.

Outside is the Bernabéu stadium. Standing at the entrance and listening to the deafening singing of Real Madrid fans outside, it is indeed shocking.

Going in, looking at the stands around, they are all snow-white, and the purple of Florence is very inconspicuous here. After the remodeling, the Bernabéu Stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, is completely super big compared to Frachi. Big Mac.

This is indeed worthy of the title of "best stadium", but the best team!

Today Digan and his Florence will do their part!

To Degan's surprise, he walked into the stadium. When the broadcaster read his name, there was no booing at the scene, which was a pleasant surprise.

In fact, there is nothing strange about this. Now there are constant rumors about the transfer of Degan to Real Madrid next season. As the world's number one player, Degan is the target of many European giants. What kind of bad impression was left in Gan's heart.

If Digan can really transfer to Real Madrid, then Real Madrid will really become a veritable galaxy battleship.

What kind of scene that will be, just thinking about it now makes people feel excited.

Not to mention the wishful thinking of the Real Madrid fans, if they knew what Digan was thinking, they would definitely rush down and trample Digan into mud to protect the flowers.

If you score a goal in front of these Real Madrid fans, it will definitely feel great!
