The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 453 Pellegrini

After Raul left, Pellegrini made himself another cup of coffee, curled up in a chair and thought.

The coffee was steaming, and Pellegrini's eyes became distracted.

He didn't expect that the contest between himself and Ronaldo and the other three would shake the morale of the entire team.

He didn't even expect that other players were not optimistic about the result of the three-person fight between himself and Ronaldo, and they generally believed that he would be the one who left in embarrassment in the end.

He underestimated the influence of star players.

This kind of influence is not only reflected in advertisements, jersey sales, TV shows, interviews...etc.

It permeates every aspect of a team.

In the final analysis, I still didn't pay enough attention to the difficulties of coaching giants, Pellegrini thought.

If I were given a chance to do it again, when Florentino sent an invitation, I...of course I would still agree without hesitation, after all, this is Real Madrid.

But he will definitely be more fully prepared when he takes office.

For example, the team is required to buy their favorite general Riquelme, and the attitude must be firm, and this should be regarded as one of the conditions for taking office.

If Riquelme was here, the team might have won one or two more games, and now he would not be so passive.

But it doesn't make sense to think about that now.

Pellegrini sighed, took out his Nokia mobile phone from his trouser pocket, opened the address book, found Ronaldo's number, hung his finger on the button, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally pressed the dial button.

……

Ronaldo is in his own mansion, with a bluetooth headset on his ears, sweating profusely on the treadmill, while talking on the phone with Licardo.

Ronaldo has held his breath since he was heavily criticized by the media after the away game against Sevilla.He doesn't like being called "Garfield" by the media.

He is an alien, a unique alien.

Therefore, although he did not participate in the competition "due to injury" during this period, he trained harder than before and lost 3 kilograms in weight.

"...I said brother, don't worry," Ronaldo smiled, "He will definitely give in, and soon."

Ricardo's voice came: "I don't worry about this, and I don't care if he is really subdued. All I want is that he put us back in the starting lineup again and stop pointing at us."

Ronaldo smiled and said: "I think the same as you, brother. It's really meaningless to convince the head coach. Brother, I have experienced it. Since I was 20 years old, which coach dares to play big names in front of me, dare not give me face? Oh, there are still some, such as Cooper, but I forced him to leave. Other coaches are very good to me, and I never deliberately make things difficult for anyone. Pellegrini is too much, must Let him know that he wants to do his job well, of course he can, but he can't cross the line. I am actually a good talker. If you treat me well, I will treat you well. If you want to play big cards in front of me, show me Look at the face, I'm sorry, I'm not easy to bully."

Ricardo chuckled twice: "I estimate that Pellegrini will come to beg us if we lose one or two more games. I think so, don't wait for him to ask for three or four, as long as he asks, we will Just promise him."

Ronaldo was a little dissatisfied: "Brother, why are you like this? He said so many exaggerated things, shouldn't he be asked to reflect on it? Besides, what is your status now, Mr. Double Material, you can't be a little tempered?"

"We can't delay any longer," said Ricardo. "Every point we lose now, we have to win back by ourselves in the future. If we let the team win one or two games less for the sake of face, the team will be one or two games worse in the future." How about winning the championship?"

Ronaldo stopped and said sullenly, "Okay, it's up to you. Don't talk, there is a call coming in."

"Go to bed early, don't go out to play."

"Got it, you're more verbose than Li Mei."

After hanging up Ricardo's phone, Ronaldo answered the new call.

Not to his surprise, Pellegrini's voice sounded: "Hi, Ronaldo. Are you free to say a few words now?"

Ronaldo got off the treadmill, picked up the towel hanging beside the treadmill and wiped off his sweat casually, and said with a smile, "It's convenient, Manuel, why are you calling me so late."

"I want to know," Pellegrini's voice sounded very cautious, "how are you and Ricardo recovering from their injuries, and whether they can represent the team."

"It depends on the situation." Ronaldo said calmly.

"Depending on what situation?" Pellegrini's tone became stiff.

"As for my brother and I, the injury has not healed yet. It is best to rest for a while and recuperate. After all, our physical health is directly related to our career," Ronaldo paused. , before Pellegrini broke out, he smiled and said, "However, after all, Ricardo and I have the highest salary and the second highest salary of the team. If the team needs us, if you need us, we are also willing to bring Injured to play for the team."

Ronaldo's implication couldn't be clearer: If you want us to be a substitute, then you don't have to talk about it. If you let us start, then you can shake hands and make peace.

After a moment of silence, the other end of the phone said: "Yes, the team needs you, and I...I need you too."

"Okay," Ronaldo smiled, "Is there anything else?"

"Please tell Ricardo and Kaka."

"No," Ronaldo refused, "I think it would be better for you to call yourself."

Pellegrini squeezed the phone hard, and with difficulty managed not to smash the phone against the wall.

After taking two deep breaths, he calmed down: "Okay."

"Then see you at the training ground tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Pellegrini called Ricardo and Kaka respectively, and he was relieved after receiving a positive answer.

Immediately a sense of humiliation welled up in my heart.

This is the first time he has softened to a player since he started his coaching career.

Although they didn't provoke him verbally, he was still upset.

He has always believed that the head coach is the soul of the team, the only authority of the team, and the head coach dominates everything.

But after making these three phone calls, his belief was almost completely shattered.

Some people just can override the head coach.

He doesn't like it.

But he didn't like being fired even more, and he didn't like holding back.

After sitting in the office for more than an hour, Pellegrini finally sorted out his thoughts.

In this contest with the big-name players in the team, he lost, completely.

This will definitely affect his authority in the team in the future.

But he still has a chance to equalize or even reverse.

As long as he can lead the team to keep winning and pick up one championship after another, he can gradually gain the respect and obedience of the players, and re-establish his authority.
