Chapter 46 Schuster
After winning this game, Real Madrid is still ranked fourth, only one point away from Valencia, which has drawn in this round.Next, Real Madrid will face Sevilla at home for the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.This is a game that was abandoned, and now Real Madrid has no ability to advance on all three fronts.In the first round, Capello consciously set up a full bench lineup and lost 1:4 cleanly in the away game.

Many people thought that Real Madrid would give up in this game. The two consecutive hard battles with Bayern and Atletico Madrid basically exhausted Real Madrid's spirit.A week later, they will go to Germany to fight Bayern again. This is an opportunity to recharge their batteries.Everyone understands the truth of giving up, but not everyone can do it.Capello is one of the people who can harden his heart. At the Bernabeu, he also decisively set up a substitute lineup to play, and once again lost the game cleanly with 0:2.

The total score of the two rounds was eliminated by Sevilla with a total score of 0:4 in the Copa del Rey.

After this game, although many media reporters, experts and fans knew that this was the best choice for Real Madrid, they still scolded them verbally.

"For the giants of Real Madrid, the word has never been given up, but since Capello took over, all kinds of traditions have been broken by him. Home defense, 1:0 doctrine, ugly football, utilitarianism , and now even give up the honor. For Real Madrid, the most wrong thing this season is to invite Capello as the head coach. So far this season, the fans have not been able to see any hope of a championship."

"But this is not the worst. The terrible thing is that since he came, Real Madrid's gorgeous offensive tradition that has been maintained for a lifetime has been discarded. Even if there was no championship before, Real Madrid is still the most popular team in the world. Because the team played a gorgeous and smooth attack, but now utilitarian football is driving fans away from Real Madrid one by one."

“[This is not the Real Madrid we are familiar with], this is the sentence that fans on the Internet have said the most this season. This is the fans’ doubts about Real Madrid’s top management. I think Calderon should consider changing the head coach.”

This is after Real Madrid was eliminated in the Copa del Rey, the "World Sports News" reported on this game, every word of criticism, with bad intentions.

For the words of "World Sports Daily", Capello scoffed, even if it is an unwise chairman, he will not change the head coach at this time.What's more, Real Madrid's current situation is not bad. The Champions League is about to enter the quarter-finals. As long as it enters the quarter-finals, Capello will create Real Madrid's best results in the Champions League in the past four years.

Although the league is now ranked fourth, it has not distanced itself from the top three, and it is only 4 points away from Barcelona, ​​which has regained the top spot.There are still 14 rounds before the end of the league, and the difference is only one or two games.

Even if you want to fire him, you have to wait until the end of the season, when you get nothing.As for playing ugly, Capello really didn't care. The head coaches from Serie A all rely on defense. As long as they win the championship, it doesn't matter how ugly they are.

When Capello thought this way in his heart, he miscalculated Calderon's mind.

Calderon has long been dissatisfied with Capello. Earlier, he used Capello's hand to clean up the superstars left by Florentino. The two cooperated happily.However, with the ups and downs of the results, Capello was forced to re-activate Beckham.This made Calderon, who had suffered a lot from Beckham, very angry, but because of his mindless speech at the time, all the players were very dissatisfied, coupled with some unstable factors within the club, so he endured.

But now that his chairmanship has stabilized, he's going to start purging some people who don't listen to him.Undoubtedly, Capello is the most disobedient in his eyes now.However, although he is not smart, he is still a bit sensible, and he did not change coaches at this critical moment.Instead, he quietly contacted the next head coach, Getafe's head coach Schuster.The two met in private and had a chat. Calderon said that as long as he leads Getafe with good results this season, he will be able to persuade the board of directors to let him join Real Madrid next season.

This king of Barcelona, ​​who was able to overwhelm Maradona as a player, has also achieved outstanding results after becoming the head coach.Getafe led by him this year was originally just a small team that barely relegation every year, but this season has entered the top seven for the first time, and it is still firmly occupying a place in the UEFA Cup after more than half of the season.And also broke into the semi-finals in the Copa del Rey.

Schuster is also very interested in Calderon's proposal. This controversial "prodigal son" in the history of German football is eager to have a wealthy family for him to show off.And the Real Madrid he once played for is naturally a good choice, but he also knows that the key lies in the upcoming semi-finals of the King's Cup. Getafe led by him will play against Barcelona. As long as he can perform well, he will enter Real Madrid next season Basically stable.

The two of them just spoke verbally and did not sign any contract.

However, this incident was still photographed by powerful reporters. The reporters of "Daily Sports" published a photo of the two meeting.Although they couldn't listen to the conversation between the two, but based on this photo and their identities, they can basically guess the matter.

The good people immediately blocked Capello and asked him his opinion on this matter.

"He used to be a Real Madrid star, and it's normal to meet him as the president of Real Madrid!"

Capello said a word and left without any change on his face, but those who cared still knew that Capello rushed into Calderon's office, the two talked for an hour, and finally Capello walked away with a dark face out.

This matter gave the media reporters room for speculation, and the most important thing is that Real Madrid's next round opponent in the league is Getafe.That is to say, the direct confrontation between Capello and Schuster, this game can show the coaching gap between the two.

So thanks to the media, a very ordinary league game received as much attention as the last round of "Madrid Derby".

"Calderon made a condition to Schuster, if he wants to win Real Madrid, he must beat Capello!"

This is the headline of the British "Mirror". Of course, everyone who knows football immediately scolded him. No matter how inflexible Calderon is, he is still the chairman of Real Madrid. How could he let others snipe his own team.Sometimes I have to say that the tabloids of the British corrupt country can publish any content in order to attract attention.

During training these few days, Gago saw that Capello's face was ashen. He didn't know whether he was unhappy with the outside media reports or hated Schuster.In short, because he was in a bad mood, all the players were panicked these days, for fear that they would become his punching bag.

Gago has been very sad in the past few days. After the team doctor checked his ankle after the last match with Atletico Madrid, he was advised to recuperate for a few days and not to do too much training.Although he was shoveled by Atletico Madrid's players, the accumulation of many times cannot be ignored.

In desperation, under the arrangement of the assistant coach, he did some light training, and the rest of the time was tutored by tactical coach Louis alone.Point out Gago's running problems on the team, and his lack of decisive passing.Some small mistakes that are usually invisible on the court, after the analysis and explanation by the tactical coach, Gago's organization and tacit understanding of the team have risen to a higher level.Sometimes, cooperation does not mean training the game all the time. Others' commentary and tactical training are also very important.

Although Gago's legs and feet are somewhat inconvenient these days, he has not forgotten the big meal that Higuain had.On the second night after the competition, Gago and his classmate Xiao Ma blocked the small smoking gun after training, and pressed him to the barbecue restaurant. The two of them politely ordered a lamb for the boss to roast. up.

As a professional player, he eats a lot, but this sheep still only ate half of it, and he drank a lot of wine.At the end of the checkout, the little smoker's expression was like that of a dead lover.In the end, he was so angry that he packed up the remaining half of the sheep and took it away, which can be regarded as a little comfort for himself.

Gago's foot was flawed, so after a week it was almost healed.Copa del Rey did not play against Sevilla, and now against Getafe, just to be on the safe side, Capello let him sit on the bench.

Originally, Capello wanted Emerson to play instead of Gago, but Emerson, who was booed by the home fans, refused to play.Capello was so angry when he heard the news, if you weren't a direct descendant of Lao Tzu, how could the main position be given to you.You're fine, don't fucking want it.

In the end, Capello thought of Cassano, who had been abandoned by him for a long time, and thought that he should have had enough lessons, so he included him in the big list.

There was a big change in the midfield, because Guti got a yellow card in the last game and was suspended for this round.Therefore, there is no organizer in the midfield, and a formation with two wings flying together was formed as a last resort.

After the suspension ended, Beckham served as the midfielder, Reyes and Robinho served as the wings, and Cassano played as the midfielder.The striker was injured because of Raul, and Higuain continued to partner with Ruud van Nistelrooy.Raul's poor performance in recent seasons is also related to his constant injuries. He always plays a few games and stops a few games, and his state is not stable.

There is good news for the defense. Carlos is back from injury again. Because of Cannavaro's red card suspension in the last game, Ramos and Elguera have come back to partner with the central defender, and the teenager Torres has moved to the right.

The goalkeeper is the unassailable Iker Casillas.

It was rare for Gago to sit on the bench with classmate Xiao Ma in this game, classmate Xiao Ma proudly laughed at him for a long time.After Gago heard this, he glanced at him lightly.

"I'm not someone who has been sitting on the bench without injury or illness."

This sentence directly choked classmate Xiao Ma.
