Super Marshal

Chapter 1082 Scapegoat

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score was finally settled at zero to four.

International practice is that the home team goes first and the visiting team goes last.

Real Madrid was beaten 0-4 at home by Chinatown. Real Madrid was under tremendous pressure. Players and coaching staff also chose to leave the stadium early after the final whistle sounded, amidst the boos from the fans.

But the fans at the scene obviously still had not vented their breath, so they pointed their fingers at club president Florentino in the box of the Bernabeu stand.

Many fans waved their white handkerchiefs and shouted in unison: "Florentino steps down!"

The voices became louder and louder, the curses became more intense, and the fans' anger was gradually ignited, especially when they saw that the Bernabeu Stadium continued to increase the volume of the team song during the live broadcast in an attempt to cover up the voices of the fans. His anger reached its peak and burst out in full force.

In fact, in the past few years, the president of Real Madrid has been the target of attacks and abuses by fans. Those fans who expected him to save Real Madrid are now beginning to be disappointed with him, but like tonight, everyone in the audience People are clamoring to fire the club president. This is the first time.

Someone indeed needs to be held responsible for the disastrous home defeat.

But should that person be Pellegrini?

It's clear that there is something wrong with Pellegrini, but he is by no means the real culprit.

As the most knowledgeable group about football in the world, the fans at the Bernabeu obviously know very well that Real Madrid's problems were not caused by Pellegrini alone, or in other words, he is responsible, but he should not be entirely blamed.

The head coach should no longer be the scapegoat for the team’s losses and chaos.

And Florentino, who was standing behind him, should also stand up and take responsibility.

"Florentino get out! Florentino steps down"

The shouts at the Santiago Bernabeu intensified and eventually turned into wild cheers from the entire audience.

…………

Being in such a rough and angry sea, Gao Han finally saw the anger of the Bernabeu fans.

He believed that the chairman of Real Madrid, who was sitting in the box at this moment, must also have lingering fears.

This is only at the scene. If you include the Real Madrid fans in front of the TV, everyone can drown him with a spit.

Real Madrid is a very special club. Florentino was able to come to power thanks to this group of fans, but by the same token, this group of fans can also make him step down.

"Today's Real Madrid is like a ruin. It has just been rebuilt and is full of waste. Mourinho and the club have irreconcilable conflicts of ideas. Pellegrini is not the kind of boss who can shoulder this heavy responsibility. coach."

When Cantarero said this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

In 2009, Real Madrid approached Mourinho to coach him, but he was ill and rushed to seek medical treatment. This caused the Galacticos to miss a famous coach like Ancelotti. By the time the Portuguese madman got out of class, Ancelotti was already at Manchester City. Take office.

Come to think of it, it is not easy to convince Ancelotti to coach.

"This summer's signings may seem luxurious, but in fact they have laid the seeds of trouble early, especially in the midfielder position. Huge sums of money have been invested in the midfield and frontcourt, but there is only no action in the defensive midfielder position. Lorentino still hasn't learned the lessons from the first phase of Galaxy Battleship." Gao Han also said with regret.

After Felipe Melo left, Real Madrid only had Casemiro in the midfielder position, but even this player was not trusted by Pellegrini.

In this game, if the Chilean engineer played Casemiro, he could still compete with Chinatown in the midfield position, but he chose the double midfielder of Toni Kroos and Moutinho. This is obviously Not trusting Casemiro is tantamount to giving up the midfield to Chinatown.

Just imagine, if Real Madrid had a trustworthy player in the midfielder position, would it still be like this?

"Florentino didn't think about it. He contacted us and wanted to bring in Illarramendi, but we refused. After bringing in many superstars, Real Madrid couldn't afford to force him. Illarramendi was poached, so in the end I had to make do with it." Cantarero said happily.

If Real Madrid had acquired Illarramendi, the situation in this game would probably be different.

"They also need a technical director to ensure the team's stability and order, and they also need a high-level modern head coach." Gao Han said.

"I heard that their first choice now is Zidane." Cantarero said worriedly.

Gao Han shook his head, "I asked him, and he told me that there had indeed been contact, but he had refused."

The person here undoubtedly refers to Zidane.

Real Madrid undoubtedly plays a vital role for Zidane, and even Gao Han has no doubt that Zidane will coach Real Madrid sooner or later, but that will certainly not be the near future.

Judging from Zidane's coaching in Chinatown in the past two seasons, his level has improved by leaps and bounds. This is certainly due to his own efforts, but also with the supervision of Gao Han and Cantarero, and even the entire professional staff of Chinatown. The team is inseparable.

It can be said that now is the golden period for him to accumulate coaching experience and quickly improve his coaching level. Zidane obviously knows how to weigh up the risk of giving up Chinatown and taking over a mess like Real Madrid.

What's more, neither Gao Han nor the Chinatown team had anything to say to Zidane, making it difficult for him to say goodbye even if he wanted to, let alone abandon Chinatown and go to coach the rival Real Madrid in the same city.

At the very least, how do you pass this hurdle in your mind?

"If it's not Zidane, it's Ancelotti and Benitez," Cantarero said.

"Ancelotti is okay, and Benitez's coaching performance in Serie A is also quite good, but I'm afraid it's not suitable to coach Real Madrid, especially the group of big-name stars in the team. I'm afraid they can't control it and may cause trouble. "

This is indeed something that must be considered.

In today's European football, not only are stars scarce, but famous coaches are also extremely scarce.

Since Ferguson and Gao Han retired, Pochettino has stepped into Ferguson's class. Gao Han strongly recommended Zidane to play in Chinatown's class. Blanco has stepped into Gao Han's class, but he has the first-line coaching level and is in line with Real Madrid's philosophy. Looking at European football, there are only a handful of head coaches.

Ancelotti should be considered the most suitable one.

"Perhaps, he will make up his mind to poach Ancelotti." Gao Han frowned slightly and said.

"We really didn't play well."

In the post-match press conference, Pellegrini unabashedly pointed out the team's problems.

"Losing at home in this way is very hurtful, but now we must work hard to improve ourselves. What worries me most at the moment is the players' emotions."

"Chinatown is a very outstanding team. They completely controlled the game and the ball. Facing such a team, we paid a heavy price for our mistakes."

"It's not that we didn't think about attacking. The reason why I arranged two technical players to play in the midfield was mainly to use high-level technical players to fight against Chinatown, but this obviously failed. Our starting lineup was not successful. "

"I want to say that there is nothing to say about losing in this way. Each of us, including me, including the eleven starting players, is all responsible, but we must get out of the negative emotions as soon as possible."

"In fact, we don't have much time to summarize and analyze. We must start preparing for the next game as soon as possible. In a week, we will visit the Royal Stadium and we will face Chinatown again, and this season we still have We have a few games to play and we don’t have time to lick our wounds.”

Pellegrini's remarks were also indirectly supported by Zidane.

The head coach of Chinatown said that the development of the game was completely beyond his expectation. No one expected that Chinatown could win in this way, but he also said that Pellegrini's team was not as good as the score. Showed so weak.

"In fact, they had at least two excellent chances to score. Here, I must thank De Gea. It was his very stable and high-level performance that kept our goal clear."

Regarding the 4-0 away win against Real Madrid, Zidane said that he has complicated feelings. He loves Real Madrid and Chinatown, but he is now the head coach of Chinatown.

"Coaching Real Madrid? No, I still have two years of contract with Chinatown, and I don't think I'm ready yet. I still have many shortcomings and need to continue to improve myself. I know very well that I can achieve such a success. The results are by no means due to me alone, but also to my colleagues behind me and the club’s management, especially technical director Cantarero and Gao Han.”

"Yes, there is no doubt that I would like to have the opportunity to return to the Santiago Bernabeu as a coach in the future, but it will certainly not be this summer and I will not think too much about it even in the short term."

“The most important thing for us now is that we have three more league rounds to keep the pressure on Barcelona, ​​a Copa del Rey final, the second leg of the semi-finals, and even the Champions League final. "

…………

With Chinatown's outstanding performance in the past two years, Zidane is well-known in European football. He is just like Guardiola back then and is hailed as another rising star.

Zidane's comments about Gao Han and Cantarero aroused huge attention.

Is it Chinatown, where geniuses gather, that created Zidane? Or did Zidane create Chinatown?

Perhaps, it is the two parties who have made each other successful.

But no matter what, Zidane personally promised to stay with the team, which undoubtedly stopped thinking about Real Madrid.

But the Bernabeu fans' criticism of the chairman put Florentino under tremendous psychological pressure, especially the wave that followed.

Even AS, known as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, pointed the finger at Florentino in his comments.

Interestingly, after the game, both AS and Marca conducted questionnaire surveys, with more than 40,000 Real Madrid fans participating. The topic of the survey was, who is Real Madrid's number one sinner?

As a result, in a survey by Marca, 42% of people chose Florentino, 32% chose Pellegrini, and the rest chose players.

But in the same survey, 66% of AS fans pointed the finger at Florentino.

It can be seen that Florentino's position as chairman can be said to be in danger.

As for Pellegrini, everyone has reached the consensus that he will be dismissed after the season.
