The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 452 Everyone Is Worried
On August 8th, Real Madrid ushered in their first league game, and they played against Atletico Madrid at home.

This Madrid derby can be said to be the highlight of the first round of La Liga, and the media generally believe that Real Madrid will easily win.

Even without Ronaldo, without Ricardo, without Kaka, the strength of Real Madrid is not comparable to the current Atletico Madrid.

Pellegrini continued to use the 4231 formation, basically following the lineup he played against Sevilla.

The effect is just as unsatisfactory as the appearance.

The two sides played 1:1 in the first half, and there was no achievement in the second half, and finally ended in a draw.

Pellegrini said in the post-match press conference: "It was a tough game and we only got one point because we didn't do well enough. The opponent's movement was very active and our physical fitness There is a problem with the reserve, and the main responsibility lies with me."

"It may not be a very good start, but I am confident that the team will play better and better. We are on the right path and my transformation of this team is smooth."

The media has been largely critical of Pellegrini.Atletico Madrid is not strong, but in this game it is obvious that the visiting team has the advantage, and it is not easy for Real Madrid to get 1 point.

Although Ronaldo, Ricciardo and Kaka failed to play, the attacking line composed of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Raul, Sneijder and Robben is strong enough and should not only achieve such results.

On September 9, in the second round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Villarreal away.Facing the former home team, Pellegrini did not show mercy.Villarreal, who lost their leader, played in a chaotic manner. Real Madrid beat their opponents 3:5 and won their first victory of the new season.

After the game ended, it was the international match day. The Brazilian team played two more warm-up matches, beating the United States 4:2 and Mexico 3:1.Li Carduo and others were naturally not selected.

But when the World Cup qualifiers start in October, Dunga will definitely call them.

In the third round of La Liga on September 9th, Real Madrid played against underdog Almeria at home. In the first half, Real Madrid took the lead with Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal, but inexplicably collapsed in the second half, and was eventually defeated by the opponent. 15:1 draw.

On September 9, in the first match of Group C of the Champions League, Real Madrid drew 18:1 with Werder Bremen at home.

In the fourth round of La Liga on September 9, Ronaldo, Ricardo, and Kaka have not "healed from their injuries" and continued to watch the game from the stands.Real Madrid's away game against Valladolid maintained a tie in the first half. After entering the second half, they conceded 23 goals in a row within 20 minutes. It was only at the last minute that Ramos scored a header and lost 3:1.

5 games, 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, such results are definitely not ideal.

Media criticism of Pellegrini intensified.

It is impossible for Ronaldo and others to be injured until now, right?Even if he hasn't fully recovered from his injury, he should be able to enter the squad, right?You still exclude the three biggest stars of Real Madrid from the squad. What are you trying to do?Are you planning to abolish your martial arts?

Florentino talked to Pellegrini again.

The place of the conversation was in Florentino's office. Lafayette smiled and made Pellegrini a cup of coffee, but the content of his speech was not in a friendly manner.

"Manuel, I don't understand why you haven't let the three of them play yet? Can you tell me what you think."

Pellegrini pondered for a while, then said: "They can't meet my requirements."

Florentino laughed angrily: "The three of them are all top 10 players in the world, and you tell me they can't meet your requirements?"

"Yes," Pellegrini said, "I need players who obey me completely, execute my tactics completely, play exactly as I ask. They can't do that."

"No, no, no," Florentino held out a finger and shook it, "What they can do is better than your wildest imagination. They are all true geniuses."

"but……"

Florentino interrupted him: "Don't fail. Manuel, I admire you, but you are making mistakes. Next game, let them start."

Pellegrini bit his lips stubbornly, stared into Florentino's eyes for a while, and then said again: "Mr. Chairman, you promised me that you would not interfere with my selection and appointment."

"But I care about the team's performance! And your current leadership performance undoubtedly does not meet my requirements."

Pellegrini was silent.

Florentino said slowly: "The next game must be won."

He didn't say what would happen if he didn't win, but Pellegrini was clear.If the team continues to win, he is likely to become one of the shortest-lived coaches in the history of Real Madrid.

After leaving Florentino's office, Pellegrini thought about it and called Raul. "I want to meet you and talk to you."

Raul was not surprised. "Where do we meet?"

"Come to my office."

Pellegrini returned to his office, looked at the photos on the table, and smiled wryly.My ass is still hot, and this will soon be someone else's office.

When Raúl stepped into the office, Pellegrini saw Pellegrini with lost eyes and seemed to have lost his sense of direction.

"BOSS!"

"Please sit down." Pellegrini woke up like a dream.

Raul sat down and asked politely, "What's the matter with you looking for me?"

Pellegrini looked at him: "What the hell happened to the team?"

"I do not understand what you are saying."

"I'm talking about the mental outlook of the entire team. Could it be that Ronaldo took care of you all and asked you to sabotage and prepare to drive me away?" Pellegrini snapped.

"No such thing." Raul sighed.

"Then why is the team playing like this? On the field, everyone seems to be absent-minded!"

"Sir," Raul considered his words, "everyone is worried."

Pellegrini was taken aback, "Worried? What are you worried about?"

"Everyone is worried that you are so harsh on the biggest players in the team. Will life under you be difficult in the future? Everyone is worried that you don't know how to deal with the relationship with the big players in the team. The results are definitely not ideal. Will everyone get nothing for a season? Everyone is worried that you have conflicts with Ronaldo and Ricardo, and you must be the one who leaves in the end. If you vote for you at this time, will you be excluded by them in the future? ?”

Pellegrini pursed his lips tightly.He found that he had thought things too simply before.He always thought that this matter was a contest between himself and Ronaldo, Ricardo and Kaka.

However, the truth is, this incident has affected the entire team.
