Chapter 575: No Comparability
Real Madrid received unanimous praise from all the media in the warm-up match in the United States. The whole team is in very good condition. Wang Feng only played in the first game and completed the big four. He is still the invincible super attacker.
What is even more surprising is that the players in other games where the Chinese superstar was absent were also full of competitiveness, and they also defeated AC Milan, who was the main force.
In addition to the success in football, Real Madrid also gained a lot in business. According to later statistics, the 4 games of Galaxy Battleship attracted almost 25 fans to watch the game on the spot. The average ticket price of 200 US dollars could not stop them from chasing Real Madrid.
In addition, the major media in North America also actively reported the Real Madrid game. The head coach Ancelotti and Wang Feng both accepted exclusive interviews from many important media.
The Chinese superstar was even invited to participate in the "Oprah Talk Show" with the highest ratings on American TV. Originally, this program was officially closed in 2011, but due to the rare opportunity, all the staff including Oprah were willing to make it A special edition.
In the show, Wang Feng conquered all the audience with his witty and witty response, and even the talk show queen had to sigh: "You are the smartest athlete I have ever seen."
After the airing of this episode, his popularity in North America rose like a rocket, almost to the point where everyone knew it. The club took the opportunity to print the special version of the jersey for the US trip, and the stock needed to be replenished.
Compared with Wang Feng, who is high-spirited, Messi is in a crisis of public opinion. When Barcelona and Manchester United held a friendly match in Sweden, the local newspaper exposed a photo. In the picture, the Argentine was drunk and looked blurred. Teammate Harvey walked with a brace.
The report pointed out that on the second day after the friendly match, head coach Lula gave the team a day off, while Messi, Harvey, Valdes, Busquets, Puyol and other absolute main players went to local nightclubs to have fun.
According to people familiar with the matter, they invited as many as 30 girls. In order to prevent leaks of the carnival scene, the Barcelona players asked these ladies to put all their mobile phones at the door of the nightclub and block all the windows.
"Everything was free, including food, drink, and entertainment, and it was the most amazing day of my life," revealed the girl at the party, while another said: "They drank a little too much and did some crazy things. But what happened Anything, it has to be sealed inside and cannot be leaked out."
After the incident was exposed, Messi suffered the most damage. The image of a good baby who never smoked or drank in the past formed a huge contrast with the candid pictures, and some people with ulterior motives compared him with the rigorous Wang Feng.
"Since the debut of a Chinese superstar, there has never been a similar scandal. Messi can't compare on the court, but who do you want to have more fun off the court?"
Of course, although most rational fans feel inappropriate, they can understand human nature. The Manchester United Ronaldo next door is still carrying a case, which does not prevent him from galloping on the court.

On August 8th, there is still a week before the start of La Liga. The Real Madrid team returned to the Valdebebas base in Madrid to make final preparations for the upcoming opening game.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, UEFA announced the list of candidates for the best player in Europe for the 11-12 season. The top three were Wang Feng, Iniesta and Messi.
Wang Feng, who has won the best in Europe for six consecutive years (including the former UEFA Club Footballer), is still the most powerful contender for this award because of the season's [-] goals and five crowns. He scored the most points in the first round of selection .
It is surprising that "Xiaobai" can beat his teammates to get No.2. UEFA even hinted that his score is not much different from that of Wang Feng.
This is mainly due to the "hard work" of some jury members who are European-oriented and do not want Chinese superstars to continue to monopolize. In the past, Wang Feng had too much advantage, be it personal data or honor, he completely surpassed his competitors.
After finally completing the unprecedented defense of the European Cup this year, Spain naturally has to win the core of the team and try to compete with it.
Whether this approach will win the game or not, Wang Feng said otherwise, but he "accidentally injured" his Barcelona teammates first, because Messi contributed 50 league goals and 14 Champions League goals last season, second only to Chinese superstars, but only can come third.
And most of the famous football players scoffed at UEFA's statement that "there is not much difference". Beckenbauer said in an interview: "Wang Feng's contribution last season is obvious to all. His statistics really helped Real Madrid break the best record in history."
"Spain's European Cup defense is more of a team effort, and there are no outstanding players. Andres is very good, but he can't stand out from the group."
Zidane said: "The two have absolutely no possibility of competing on the same stage. In my opinion, Wang has secured the best of the year just by scoring 100 goals in league and cup matches."
"Unless the award wants to lose its authority and fairness, then so be it."

There is no doubt that in the new season of La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona will still compete for the crown, but the structure of other teams may be completely different from last season.
The first to bear the brunt is Malaga. This team, which rises with capital, will naturally fall with capital. In May, there were rumors that the Qatari owner Al Thani had begun to withdraw capital.
"They made me lose a lot of money. I can't play endlessly like this. Malaga will never become Manchester City." Altani said in an interview with local media.
The club simultaneously started clearance sales. Core players Cazorla and Rondon went to Arsenal and Rubin Kazan respectively. The general manager also announced his resignation. Unlike the big purchases last season, they did not buy a single player in the summer window this season. .
Although there are still Champions League seats at hand, coach Pellegrini must make a choice. Now the coast team lineup can no longer support two-line combat.
They are in a similar situation with Levante, the poorest dark horse. With their outstanding performance at the beginning of the season, the team finally ranked 6th in La Liga and won the Europa League ticket, thus reaping the economic benefits from UEFA— - Participation bonus.
But the huge risk of two-line combat will also make them fall into the quagmire of relegation at any time, especially after losing important players such as Baldo and Farinos, the team's already thin bench depth is further weakened.
Valencia and Atletico Madrid should be in a relatively comfortable state. They have steadily improved and are gradually approaching the duo.
The former meritorious player Pellegrino took over as coach. He can fully convey the team's beliefs, and the management also generously signed in, leaving Alcacer, the top scorer in the European Youth Championship, and other promising newcomers.
Under the leadership of Simeone, the latter made amazing progress in the second half of last season, rushing all the way from the relegation zone to fifth in the league, and also won the Europa League championship. The goal of the Sheets this season is undoubtedly the Champions League seat.
The traditional powerhouse Sevilla urgently needs to reach the top six and return to the European theater to ease the financial burden. Although Michel, who took over halfway, only brought the team to the ninth position in the end, their main lineup is still there. Keylor Navas, Negredo, Reyes and others are still top-level stars in La Liga.
Although Deportivo and Vigo Celta, who have just been promoted to La Liga, have brilliant historical achievements, their club finances and lineup strength are completely different from those of the past. Their primary goal is still relegation.
