Golden Greenery

Zhuoyang always feels that Real Madrid fans are more graceful than Barcelona fans in public. When the Barcelona team entered the stadium today, there was thunderous applause in the Bernabeu Stadium, and Meringe uniformly shouted "Tito Vilanova" to express his support. Encouragement from the archrival head coach.

Although Vilanova did not come with Barcelona today, Real Madrid fans still send blessings to him in this way, and Zhuo Yang thinks this is very good.

Vilanova is 44 years old. He served as Barcelona's head coach after Guardiola resigned last summer. In fact, in 2011, Vilanova was diagnosed with a parotid gland tumor and underwent surgery to remove it. At that time, he was still Pep Guardiola's assistant. No one realized that small tumors and small surgeries would later develop into irrepressible tumors.

In November last year, during a review, Vilanova discovered that the tumor was spreading rapidly, which meant that he had parotid gland cancer. Before Christmas, Vilanova had emergency surgery and needed to continue chemotherapy after the surgery.

After the news came out, Real Madrid expressed condolences to Vilanova on many different occasions. During the game, the players also pulled banners with blessings to support Vilanova in defeating the disease.

After the surgery, Vilanova continued to perform his duties as head coach while undergoing chemotherapy, missing a game from time to time. The Barcelona club did not burn bridges. During Vilanova's most difficult time, he expressed that he would support him in continuing to serve as head coach until the end of this season.

After entering December last year, Barcelona's performance had a slight ups and downs. It was not as strong as at the beginning of the season, which was somewhat affected by Vilanova's illness. Vilanova was absent again in the first leg of today's Copa del Rey semi-final. He went to New York to receive a new treatment and will be absent for at least three weeks.

In Vilanova's absence, his deputy, 4 Jordi Lula, took over the team in his place.

Lula is a Barcelona native with a well-established background. Although he came into contact with regular professional football a little late and only entered La Masia at the age of 15, he is a midfield genius and was promoted to the second team to compete in the Spanish Second Division two years later. 1 When Lula entered the Barcelona first team, everyone was optimistic about his development prospects.

But in the 1st Cup, Barcelona played against AC Milan, which was in full swing. Lula, who started the game, injured his right knee in a fight with Milan midfielder Rijkaard in the 10th minute, and was then replaced by Miguel Soler. .

After that, Lula was out for more than half a year. After his comeback, the speed and explosive power for which he was famous declined significantly, and therefore he could no longer gain a foothold in the Barcelona first team. Since then, he has been in the Spanish second division, playing less than 2 years.

Zhuo Yang and Lula are quite familiar, because when he was at Barcelona, ​​Lula was a member of Guardiola's coaching team. Barcelona has a tradition of supporting chief assistant coaches. Guardiola was followed by Vilanova. Now the coach's future is unclear due to illness. Many people speculate that Lula will be officially promoted next season. During the Guardiola era, Lula was responsible for collecting intelligence on opponents and conducting technical analysis. There is no problem with his theoretical reserve, he is just very knowledgeable about football.

However, Zhuoyang and Guardiola had communicated that Pep was not optimistic about Lula's coaching ability. He believed that he was a very good assistant coach and would be excellent in training, but he was still far from being a head coach. In 2007, Lula served as the head coach of the Spanish League C team, but was fired after less than half a season due to poor performance.

Zhuoyang wanted to ask Guardiola again whether he would return to Barcelona next season. Guardiola laughed like "Oh my god" and said he was not that shameless. Sure enough, just last week, Bayern Munich Club and Guardiola issued official announcements at the same time: It was confirmed that Bayern's current coach Heynckes will leave at the end of this season, and Guardiola will become Bayern's new head coach.

Father-in-law Hai joined Bayern Munich for the third time purely because of his age.

Not everyone has the ageless ambition of Ferguson, who decided to retire completely at the end of the season. I don’t know what kind of results Bayern will use this season to comfort the old man’s coaching career, and what kind of results will welcome Guardiola to take office.

.

In this game, the first El Clasico in 2013, Real Madrid has an incomplete lineup. Although Ramos returned in the last league game, he will continue to be suspended in today's Copa del Rey. Also suspended are Coentrao and Di Maria, who received red cards in the quarter-final round with Valencia.

Of course, captain Casillas will definitely not be able to play, and his replacement will be new aid Diego Lopez.

The 32-year-old Diego Lopez is nicknamed ‘Squidward’, which is enough to illustrate the skill in his arms. He was born in the youth training of Real Madrid Castilla and has since risen through the ranks and successfully entered the first team.

However, Casillas, who is in full swing at Real Madrid, is only half a year older than Squidward, which obviously makes him desperate. He has only had less than 10 appearances in two seasons, and the two goalkeepers who are almost the same age are not very suitable for the game. The team has reserves at this position.

In 2007, Lopez left Real Madrid, moved to Villarreal, and quickly became Huang Qian's main goalkeeper. Last summer, it was not Lopez's fault that Huang Qian was relegated. He also left there and went to Sevilla.

In fact, although Lopez has many opportunities to play in Sevilla, he also faces competition from the old goalkeeper Palop and the Portuguese international goalkeeper Beto, and all three are unambiguous.

Cassie was injured, and Lopez, who heard the call from Real Madrid, chose to return without much hesitation. At the age of 32, if he is a little more reserved this time, it will be difficult for him to have another chance to realize his dream at the Bernabeu in the future.

Squidward is also Real Madrid's only signing in the winter transfer window. Brazilian young midfielder Casemiro is not yet old enough for immediate combat effectiveness. He was added to Real Madrid's second team Castilla.

The right back who was originally coveted just took a feint, which made Mourinho very dissatisfied, but now he is not as good at talking and showing off as before, and Lafayette does not take it seriously.

In fact, Lafayette has his own plan on the right back.

With Mourinho in such trouble, his future in Real Madrid is worrying, so Real Madrid must consider the long term and cannot just pay a high price for the right back he likes.

In any case, Arbeloa is not shabby. After all, Spain is selecting the national team. Although his ability has shortcomings, it depends on who he is competing with. Moreover, Real Madrid already has a clear backup in this position.

The 21-year-old Daniel Carvajal was once the captain of Castilla, but last summer Real Madrid accidentally sold him to Bundesliga Bayer Leverkusen for 5 million. But fortunately, Real Madrid was cautious, and the agreement gave priority within three years.

Carvajal is a right back, and his performance in the Bundesliga this season has been amazing. If the pharmaceutical company hadn't been unwilling to do so, Real Madrid would have wanted to buy him back in the winter.

Young, with good roots and capable of attacking and defending, Carvajal is the future of Real Madrid's right back.

Real Madrid only coughed twice in the winter window, but Barcelona was completely silent. They had no supplement at all.

Barcelona has no signings, but they have a boss who has scored in eleven consecutive games.
