Real Madrid's away game against Valencia in the 12th round of the La Liga fixture saw the team display resilience in adversity and highlighted the young talent of Jude Bellingham stepping up in crucial moments. All of this stemmed from Carlo Ancelotti's tactical adjustments. Bellingham missed a penalty in the 55th minute, hitting the post, which could have been a morale-damaging moment. However, the young player was not deterred by the mistake and instead became more proactive in the subsequent game. He fought fiercely in midfield, completing multiple interceptions in the opponent's half, and his indomitable spirit inspired the entire team, keeping Real Madrid's fighting spirit alive in difficult circumstances. Bellingham's performance in the final moments of the game was even more impressive. He first assisted Luka Modric in the 85th minute to help the team equalize, then completed a decisive goal during stoppage time. This kind of big-game mentality is reminiscent of former players like Zinedine Zidane and Raul, who also stepped up to carry the team during Real Madrid's toughest times. In a club like Real Madrid, young players often take a long time to adapt to the pressure, but Bellingham seems naturally suited for it. His every tackle is full of passion, and every pass is full of ideas. On the field, he can both cooperate with his teammates seamlessly and complete attacks on his own. In the game, he was fouled six times by the opponents, showing his threat in attack, and the data of winning 13 out of 20 duels reflects his contribution in defense.…

According to exclusive information from Defensa Central, Real Madrid is actively preparing for next summer's transfer market, aiming to strengthen its midfield in order to fill the huge void left by the departure of Toni Kroos. The Spanish giants have set their sights on two rising stars, Martin Zubimendi and Florian Wirtz, as key targets for recruitment. The departure of Kroos has undoubtedly left a significant gap in Real Madrid's midfield, losing a masterful playmaker. To compensate for this loss, the club is actively seeking a replacement with a similar style, preferring creative midfielders over simply physically strong players. In the pursuit of new signings, Zubimendi stands out as the primary target due to his affordable price and solid performances. Meanwhile, despite a potential valuation exceeding 100 million euros, Wirtz has not been ruled out due to his exceptional talent and potential. Real Madrid is seriously considering reaching a potential agreement with the young prodigy next summer. Over the coming months, Real Madrid will continue to search for suitable candidates to fill the void left by Kroos' departure. While Zubimendi and Wirtz are leading contenders, the club is also exploring other options to achieve the perfect reinforcement in midfield. With transfer rumors surrounding players like Arnold and Davies surfacing, Real Madrid President Florentino Perez has shifted the focus of recruitment to the midfield. This move is seen as a crucial step towards strengthening the team's lineup for the next season. This summer's transfer market is expected to be particularly busy for Real Madrid. They need to fill gaps left by…

"Can Zhang Yuning really make it at Atletico Madrid?" This question has been buzzing on various football forums and social media platforms in recent days. On one side, fans are excitedly shouting, "Finally, someone can revive Chinese football," while on the other, some cynically remark, "Don't go there just to warm the bench again." These debates not only reflect the explosive nature of the rumors about Zhang Yuning but also reveal the long-standing major issue in Chinese football: the path of overseas development has always been "arduous but unappreciated." Can Chinese players really break their fate this time? On January 3rd, multiple domestic media reported that Chinese player Zhang Yuning has caught the eye of La Liga giants Atletico Madrid, with head coach Diego Simeone specifically expressing his hope for Zhang's joining. If the signing is successful, the 25-year-old Zhang Yuning would become the first Chinese player in Atletico's history. This is an opportunity that catches the eye, yet it is also a huge challenge. Whether Zhang Yuning can live up to this expectation is not only crucial for his personal career but also for the future of Chinese football as a whole. Atletico Madrid has never been a team that pursues flamboyant football. Coach Simeone's tactical style is known for its tough and hard-nosed approach. He needs a forward who can withstand physical challenges from opponents and burst with key power in tough battles. Looking at the early passionate players under his coaching, like Diego Costa, and the efficient starting center forwards, it becomes clear that Simeone wants a…

In the current season, Spanish giants Barcelona have started strong but have since faltered under new coach Flick, with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses in their last 9 matches, dropping to third place in La Liga. Moreover, Barcelona has recently encountered another headache, as the registration issues with Olmo and Victor have made them a laughingstock among other teams' fans. Now, another former Barcelona player has delivered an outstanding performance, embarrassing his old club. In 17 matches, he has contributed to 14 goals! The 25-year-old discarded by Barcelona has exploded, with Laporta selling him for 7 million, and now his value is 27 million. On January 4th, in the 17th round of the Portuguese League, Guimaraes faced off against Sporting Portugal in a goal-scoring battle, ending in a 4-4 draw. In this match, Sporting Portugal's main center forward, Zekai Rais, scored a hat-trick. With 21 goals and 2 assists in 17 appearances this season in the Portuguese League, the Swedish forward, valued at 75 million euros, is a focal point in the transfer market. After securing 1 point in this match, Sporting Portugal temporarily rose to first place in the league. Sporting Portugal not only has Zekai Rais, but their attacking midfielder, Trincao, also performed exceptionally well. In the match against Guimaraes, Trincao scored a goal in the 95th minute to help the team secure a 4-4 draw. This season, Trincao has started every match for Sporting Portugal in the Portuguese League, scoring 6 goals and providing 8 assists, ranking first in both the assist…

Desailly, a well-known figure in French football, discussed his views on football during a certain program. He mentioned that when he and Maldini played for Milan, they would feel very nervous whenever they faced Inter Milan's Ronaldo. Whenever facing Ronaldo, they needed two people to defend him together. Once Ronaldo got the ball, you couldn't catch up with him. His abilities were too outstanding, with speed, dribbling, and breakthroughs that made it hard for you to react in time. He is considered the least controversial third-generation football king in the world of football. However, the genius Ronaldo was ruined by serious injuries. Since his knee problems, he has lost about 70% of his peak abilities. The current Messi is considered a quasi-football king level, lacking the fear factor that Ronaldo had! After watching many Inter Milan games back then, I was extremely disappointed with Ronaldo, concluding that he was a product of star-making. 1. Playing with a single trick, rushing with the ball, and a high error rate, Ronaldo's style of play was very demanding on the team, which explains why he didn't perform well in other teams except for Brazil at its peak. 2. Poor ability to create and assist, no defensive or assisting skills. 3. Although he scored many goals, most were against weak teams, adding icing to the cake, and with low success rates, he would disappear when facing strong teams with increased defensive intensity. His lifetime achievements worth mentioning: one World Cup championship, one league championship, what's there to boast about? A player who gets injured…

The registration dilemma of Olmo has once again turned Barcelona into a laughingstock. On the evening of January 4th, La Liga and the Spanish Football Association jointly announced that they had rejected Olmo's registration. It is reported that Olmo is very angry about this, while Laporta stated that he would appeal. Due to their failure to complete Olmo's registration before January 1st, Barcelona has recently been in a passive position. Although they urgently raised 100 million euros by selling seats at the Camp Nou, their re-application for Olmo's registration was rejected by La Liga and the Football Association. Barcelona is very disappointed with this outcome. It is reported that Laporta is particularly furious. Originally, he was supposed to have a lunch gathering with the opponent club before the King's Cup match and hold a reception. However, upon learning of Olmo's failed registration, he refused to attend these two major events. For Olmo, this result is undoubtedly a disaster. In the next six months, he will be unable to play football. Moreover, according to relevant regulations, he cannot even be called up to the national team. In recent days, Olmo has consistently stated that he will not leave Barcelona and wants to continue playing for them. However, he now faces two difficult choices: 1) Stay with the team, likely to go half a year without playing, wasting precious time; 2) Leave the team, terminate his contract with Barcelona, but he will not receive a penny of salary until 2030. Spanish media outlet AS revealed that Olmo feels that Barcelona deceived him.…

A match in the third round of the King's Cup saw Barcelona face off against Bawastro. Barcelona has fallen behind in the league, trailing Real Madrid by 5 points and Atletico Madrid by 3 points, only able to rank third. It is surprising how quickly Barcelona, which played so well at the beginning of the season, has declined. In the last seven league matches, Barcelona has won only one game, which is quite unbelievable. In the last two games, Barcelona lost both, first to Leganes and then to Atletico Madrid. This time, on the King's Cup stage, Barcelona faced Bawastro, a team from the Xieyi League. This was a must-win game for Barcelona. As a result, Barcelona swept Bawastro and advanced to the next round. In this game, Barcelona lined up in a 4231 formation. Lewandowski led the attack upfront. The attacking trio of Fermin Lopez, Pedri, and Torre worked together. Eric Garcia and De Jong formed the double pivot in midfield. Gerard Martin, Inigo Martinez, Araujo, and Kounde started as the four defenders. Szczesny was the starting goalkeeper. Soon after the start of the game, Barcelona created a threat, with Kounde heading for goal, but unfortunately, he missed. Four minutes later, Lewandowski headed for goal from the middle of the penalty area, also missing. In the 19th minute, Barcelona used a corner kick opportunity to create a chance, with Araujo heading close-range, but the goalkeeper reacted quickly and saved the ball. In the 21st minute, Barcelona finally scored. Araujo received a cross in the penalty area, headed the ball…

Since joining Real Madrid this season, Mbappe has not performed at the top level that everyone expected, and there have been many rumors about changes in his future. As a top European powerhouse, Real Madrid cannot give Mbappe unlimited opportunities to exercise himself. They have also been looking for someone who can be a stable center forward for the team, and this time the target of Real Madrid has been exposed. Real Madrid wants to bring in the striker Isaac, who has shone in the Premier League this season. As a forward from La Liga's Real Sociedad, Isaac has maintained a very high level since joining Newcastle. This season, he scored 14 goals and provided 4 assists in 17 Premier League games, which made many top clubs want to sign this central forward at the peak. Currently, Newcastle's asking price for Isaac has reached 150 million euros because they spent 70 million euros buying Isaac from Real Sociedad. Now that Isaac has realized his ability and talent, the asking price is naturally not low. Fans familiar with Real Madrid's signings in those years should also remember that Real Madrid asked about Isaac at that time. But considering signing Haaland later, Real Madrid finally did not choose to take away Isaac. But now Haaland is quite happy playing for Manchester City, so Real Madrid also wants to pursue Isaac. Isaac is a player with a big heart who gets stronger when facing strong opponents. This season, he has played at a top level against the big six teams, earning him a…

On January 4th at dawn, in the make-up match of the 12th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Valencia away from home. Real Madrid started the game trailing, followed by Bellingham missing a penalty, Mbappe's goal being disallowed for offside, and Vinicius being sent off with a red card. Despite these difficulties, Real Madrid managed to turn the game around, defeating Valencia 2-1, showcasing Ancelotti's excellent coaching abilities. Coach Ancelotti adapts his tactics! Switching to a 4-2-3-1 formation, he has activated the core of Real Madrid, contributing to 6 goals in 6 games and leading the team to the top of La Liga. Real Madrid conceded a goal in the 27th minute when Guedes' shot was saved by Courtois, but Duro scored on the rebound with no one marking him, putting Real Madrid behind 0-1. In the 55th minute, after Mbappe created a penalty, Bellingham hit the post with his shot. In the 61st minute, Mbappe's solo goal over the goalkeeper was ruled offside. In the 79th minute, Vinicius was sent off for maliciously pushing down Valencia goalkeeper Dimitrievski. In the 85th minute, Bellingham set up Modric to equalize for Real Madrid. In the 95th minute, Bellingham intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and scored the winning goal. Currently, Real Madrid, having played one more game than Atletico Madrid, leads the league by 2 points. Barcelona, with the same number of games as Real Madrid, is 5 points behind and ranks third. Real Madrid has been in great form recently, with a strong momentum, and Ancelotti's tactical changes have…

Cristiano Ronaldo, a top football star, has always been very popular among his fans, even after joining the Saudi league for two years. However, there are still many fans who adore him. In a recent interview, Ronaldo shared his experiences since joining Al-Nassr. Ronaldo said, "I am very happy to have joined the Saudi league and experienced a new life here, which makes me very happy. Both football and life are great, and I strive to respect the club's decisions. I believe that many things will change." He also fondly recalled winning the Arab Crown championship, which he considers the happiest moment since joining the Saudi league two years ago. Winning the championship with his team made Ronaldo very happy, as it was the only title he had won in the past two years. He also discussed his future, expressing uncertainty about his contract renewal. However, he did not rule out the possibility of renewing his contract with the club. Currently, discussions about Ronaldo's future mainly focus on his potential move to Paris Saint-Germain. The French Ligue 1 giants have always wanted to sign a top superstar. Ronaldo also wants to return to Europe, so Paris Saint-Germain, with its Champions League qualification, is naturally a team he would like to join. There, Ronaldo could aim for the Ligue 1 Golden Boot and continue scoring in the Champions League, potentially surpassing Messi in the goal-scoring charts once again. The only question remains whether Paris Saint-Germain would offer Ronaldo a starting position.
