Real Madrid's Rankings Soar—From 15th to 6th in the League!
Refusing Reconciliation? Su Hang Visits Robinho in Hospital; Caregiver Reveals Robinho Threw Away Flowers After Su Hang Left!
Robinho Upset with Su Hang? Late-Night Social Media Post "Shit" Quickly Deleted!
The incident stirred up a storm.
Management demanded the matter be resolved swiftly.
After Robinho was discharged, Luxemburgo invited him back to the training ground.
Su Hang, however, didn't seem too concerned.
He scored the goal, but he was also the one who crashed into Robinho.
Rumor had it that if the hit had been any harder, Robinho's ribs might have broken.
Apologizing was the right thing to do.
Besides, Su Hang was naturally magnanimous. As captain, he knew he had to take more responsibility—just like Raúl.
So Su Hang, in front of all his teammates, offered a sincere apology.
But Robinho seemed unwilling to accept, turning his head aside and staying silent.
Su Hang just smiled.
He had done his part.
Whether others accepted it or not was out of his hands.
It was Roberto Carlos, the leader of the Brazilian clique, who looked worried.
In management's eyes, no matter who was right or wrong, the one unwilling to ease tensions would always be seen as the troublemaker.
Carlos patted Robinho's shoulder, giving him a look.
Only then did Robinho reluctantly nod.
The Real Madrid players erupted in cheers, applauding loudly.
Of course, no one truly believed Robinho had forgiven Su Hang.
But everyone knew the matter was settled—for now.
And that was enough.
In the adult world, sometimes the truth doesn't matter as much as appearances.
"Hmph! He looks so pleased, as if I've really forgiven him." Watching Su Hang practicing passes with Zidane, Figo, Beckham, and Raúl, Robinho fumed.
Even Raúl had been impressed with Su Hang during the training match.
He really was magnanimous.
Honestly, if it had been Raúl, he would've held a grudge against Robinho.
You already disrespected me by stealing the shot.
And now you have the nerve to resent me?
Who the hell do you think you are?
But Su Hang?
Not the slightest hint of resentment.
That kind of heart, that kind of composure—that's the mark of someone destined for greatness.
What Raúl didn't know was that right after Robinho accepted Su Hang's apology, Su Hang received a notification.
"Ding! Robinho still resents you for fighting over the shot, but under pressure, he was forced to reconcile. As a false token of goodwill, he has gifted you 'Youth's Chain Stepover' as a reconciliation gift."
Youth's Chain Stepover: Superstar Skill. For a time, Robinho was synonymous with chain stepovers. The Stepover Kid dazzled countless fans with his flair.
"Your dribbling, agility, ball control, speed, and explosiveness increase."
"When performing three or fewer stepovers, explosiveness receives an additional boost. When performing more than three, the deception increases significantly with each additional stepover."
"Small chance to activate the 'Ankle-Breaker Dribble' effect, sending opponents tumbling!"
Pretty strong, right?!
Do you think Su Hang is still mad at Robinho?
Robinho might be petty, but when he makes a gesture, he goes big!
As a result, Su Hang's dribbling attribute kicked in.
His Ball Control also improved slightly, reaching 79.
...
A person's reputation and credibility aren't built in a day.
They are built over time.
People see what you do.
Su Hang's tolerance and generosity toward Robinho.
His responsibility on the pitch.
His persistence when the team was behind.
His scoring instinct and tactical sharpness.
All of it was gradually influencing Real Madrid's players and staff.
Perhaps some still doubted such a young man leading Real Madrid as captain.
But if he continued this way, sooner or later, he would earn their full trust and respect.
September 25th, La Liga Round 5.
Real Madrid traveled to face Alavés.
Luxemburgo stuck with the same starting XI.
The result? Goals from Su Hang, Raúl, and Zidane.
Assists from Figo and substitute right-back Cicinho.
A 3-0 win, another emphatic victory for Real Madrid.
Fans were filled with confidence ahead of the next Champions League match.
Real Madrid's next fixture: the second group stage match of the Champions League.
The opponent: Olympiacos, giants of the Greek Super League.
They weren't exactly a top-tier side.
But after losing to Lyon, Real Madrid absolutely had to win this one.
And yet, Olympiacos had one player who worried Madrid deeply.
That man was... Rivaldo!
Former Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year. Core of the Brazilian national team.
In the future, Rivaldo might be remembered as a player whose reputation outlasted his ability.
Some people today barely even know his name.
But when he was winning football's greatest honors, his rivals were Zidane, Figo, and Ronaldo!
In terms of prestige, those years were ruled by those four.
Rivaldo had long been the core at Barcelona before joining AC Milan in 2002, where he struggled. He later moved to Olympiacos.
But even Figo had a last burst of brilliance last season.
So for a world-class player like Rivaldo, to explode in a few games was nothing unusual.
Never underestimate a fallen legend.
Not only because the heights they once reached may be beyond your grasp,
but also because they just might return to that peak—
even if only for a short time, enough to destroy any who dare mock them!
For this match, all 80,000 seats at the Bernabéu were packed.
"Welcome to the Bernabéu!"
"Today's Real Madrid lineup should please the fans, as it's the same squad that won back-to-back victories."
"Up front: the club's new and old captains, Su Hang and Raúl."
"In midfield, a diamond formation: Zidane on the left, Figo in the hole, Beckham on the right, and Garcia as the holding midfielder."
"The backline, from left to right: Roberto Carlos, Helguera, Ramos, and Cicinho. Salgado's form has dipped, while Cicinho impressed in the last match."
"And in goal, Iker Casillas."
The match kicked off.
From the first whistle, Real Madrid took control.
Their players were simply stronger.
In the 8th minute, Zidane played a back pass to Garcia, signaling him to switch play.
Garcia passed to Beckham, who whipped in a cross from the right.
Su Hang burst into the penalty area, leaping high and drawing two center-backs.
But he mistimed his header.
Olympiacos defenders followed the ball's path.
On the left side of the box, Zidane, unmarked, brought it down with his left foot. The ball bounced slightly to his right.
And then...
