Real Madrid Club de Futbol

Real Madrid is one of the earliest clubs in Spain. Its predecessor was Skye Football Team. It was founded in 1896 with only 30 members and 7 or 8 players. The game was played in an open space on Lista Street. On March 6, 1902, the Madrid Social Club was officially established, with Englishman Arthur Johnson as its first head coach. On June 29, 1920, the King of Spain added the word "Real" to the name of the club to promote the development of football in the capital city of Madrid. Since then, the club has officially changed its name to Real Madrid Football Club. Real Madrid began to participate in the National League after its establishment. Since Spain had not held a national league at that time, there was only the King's Cup hosted by the royal family. The team won the championship for the first time in 1905, and then won the championship for three consecutive years in 1906, 1907, and 1908, becoming a powerful team in Spanish football. In 1928, the Spanish Primera Division began with ten teams. In previous sessions, the team failed to win the league championship due to its weak strength. It was not until the introduction of the famous goalkeeper Chamorra that they won the championship twice in 1932 and 1933. After more than 20 years, the team never won the league championship. In the early 1950s, Real Madrid spent heavily on hiring top players from all over the world, introducing Gento and Stefano, and reached an unprecedented golden period, known as the "Real Madrid Era". In 1954, they regained the league championship after 21 years, and won the championship again in 1955. In the same year, UEFA established the European Champions Cup, and Real Madrid represented Spain in the competition. Unexpectedly, the team was out of control and won the first five Champions League championships. This record has not been broken so far, and Real Madrid has become a "dream trip" in European football. In the 1970s, Real Madrid continued to maintain a strong momentum of winning championships with the remaining power of its golden period. Although the team did not have any special big-name stars during this period, the team's united efforts won five league championships in 1972, 1975, 1976, 1978, and 1979. In 1980, after winning both the league and cup championships, the situation deteriorated. Except for winning the cup championship in 1982, they missed the championship for six consecutive years and entered a difficult period. In 1985, Real Madrid introduced Mexican star Sanchez and Argentinian star Valdano, plus their own rising star Butragono, etc., greatly increasing their strength. The team won the UEFA Cup twice in 1985 and 1986, becoming the first team in the history of the UEFA Cup to win consecutive championships. From 1986 to 1990, the team won five consecutive league championships, setting a Spanish football record. However, in the Champions League, the team missed the championship and even created the worst record in history with a 0:5 loss to AC Milan. Generally speaking, the late 1980s, marked by the UEFA Cup championship, can be called the second golden period in the team's history. After winning the league title in 1990, due to poor management, heavy debts, and the rise of old rival Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid was eclipsed and watched as its rivals won four consecutive championships. In 1995, the team won the league championship, but just one year later, the team only finished sixth in the league, falling to the lowest point in more than ten years of history. In 1996, Capello took over as coach and led this luxurious team to win the championship. The team won the Champions League twice more in 1998 and 2000. After talking about Zidane all summer, newspaper sales have increased and Real Madrid has gained a little more pressure. It seems that this super team should no longer have anything to do with losing. The results in several warm-up matches were not satisfactory, and the public opinion circle was in an uproar. The debate over whether it is worth spending huge sums of money to buy Zidane will continue throughout the season. As a decision-maker, Florentino gave various reasons to explain the benefits, while the fans only wanted to see the results in the league and Champions League. Zidane has made Real Madrid's offensive routine more versatile. But Zidane should not be overly optimistic, "You are not allowed to score in Italy, but you are allowed to score here." This is just a theory. Against a superstar like him, any opponent will strictly monitor it. To win, Zidane needs the support of his teammates and more running from them. Real Madrid still lacks a guaranteed central defender. Siero is old and cannot perform at a super level throughout the season. Del Bosque tried Gremi in the warm-up match, but the effect was not good. Real Madrid's goal this year is to win the championship or win the championship. There is no choice.
