Blancos
Blancos is Spanish word means whites. It is a nickname of Real Madrid, my favorite football club. the club is famous as a rich club. In the summer of 2019, the club Totally spent thirty billion yen to get new players. However, they didn't buy new player in the next summer. Some writers say they don't have much money because they are reconstructing their home stadium. But many jounalists think they'll make Mega Winter. Of course I expect it gonna happen.
Because Real Madrid is a rich club, the way of team build is large-scale project. The chairman of the club, Florentino Perez, thinks 11 best players can make best team. He has bought many star players. Kaka, Cristiano Ronald, David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, and so on. In 2000, Perez did one biggest historical transaction. Luis Figo transferred Real Madrid from Barcelona. Barca is the rival club of Madrid. The match between Madrid and Barca is called "el clasico" and watched by 4 hundred million people. If the club loses the derby match, many people think that season is a bad season, even if the team get the league title. Despite the big rivalry, Perez succeeded to buy star player of Barca. This story is a good instance how Real Madrid and Perez are. As an aside, a head of pig was thrown to the pitch at the first clasico Figo transferred.
2020/10/24, the "clasico" was held in Camp Nou, the home stadium of Barcelona. Due to prevent spreading COVID-19, all professional football games in Spain are being held without any spectators. Clasico usually attracts over 90 thousand people. They sing supporter's songs, clap their hands, do noisy booing. The sounds make player excited and the match is full of fouls. Sergio Ramos, the captain of Real Madrid, always quarrel with Leo Messi. However, that match was peaceful. At first, I expected an intensive game because Fede Valverde scored for Madrid in the 5 minute and Fati tied in 3 minutes. After this opening strike, the game turn to boring match. Both teams did not do pressing, so they could pass a ball around defenses. They could do only few effective attacks in the First Half. The Second Half started with two chances for Barcelona. Coutinho and Fatis' shots grazed the left post. Ramos got penalty kick and he calmly scored. In the end of this game, Luca Modric scored for Madrid. The final score was 1-3. Although Real Madrid won the derby match, I don't think they will get the league title. Their performance was unstable. I hope good defender and striker join the team in next winter.
You should try to go to Spain next year!
