Chapter 299 Approaching the National Derby

Benitez became the head coach of Real Madrid, which was actually the desperation of Chairman Perez.The contract between Ancelotti and Real Madrid has not expired.It is because in the last season, the league, the Champions League, and the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid has been eliminated from the championship on the three fronts.

Therefore, even in the last season, that is, in 2014, he led Real Madrid to the coveted tenth Champions League trophy.However, coach Ancelotti still had to be forced to bid farewell to the Bernabeu and Madrid.As a team of Real Madrid's level, the head coach can't just find an ordinary head coach.

Anyway, the title of "Champion Coach" is a must.So, not to mention looking for the best head coaches in the world, but at least looking for someone with a name and surname.The president of Real Madrid, Perez, is the most suitable coach for Real Madrid. Arsenal's coach, Arthur Wenger.However, Wenger had a good life at Arsenal. Although he could not lead Arsenal to another championship, Wenger, as one of Arsenal's minority shareholders.Nor is there much reluctance to leave London.Not to mention that Wenger himself knows that Real Madrid's head coach is a "hot potato."

Therefore, even if Perez has intentionally or unintentionally countless times, in public or private, he has expressed his willingness to leave the seat of Real Madrid's head coach to Wenger.However, Wenger is like his "old rival," the godfather of Manchester United, "Sir Alex Ferguson".Still firmly rooted in the position of Arsenal's head coach.

Well, this summer, after "fired" Ancelotti, Perez found that he couldn't find a top-notch head coach to coach Real Madrid after his "second entry into the palace".Therefore, in desperation, Perez can only choose a head coach who is waiting for Real Madrid's call at any time, and who is not the "stabbing" type, like Mourinho.

This is Benitez.

However, although Benitez has the league title in his hands, he also has the Champions League title.But he is definitely not a champion coach, nor is he a head coach who can suppress these big stars in Real Madrid.Because of his qualifications, he even handles the relationship with the players.Neither is commendable.

Even when it comes to the Miracle in Istanbul, more people may think of Liverpool's team soul, Gerrard, or the German veteran Hamann who blew the counterattack horn for Liverpool.But if you talk about the head coach of Liverpool at the time, you may need to think about it in your mind, and then answer with uncertainty.

"It seems to be Benitez."

Therefore, the relationship between Benitez and the Real Madrid players under his coaching is also reasonable.After all, Benitez can't convince such a group of "proud soldiers" based on his qualifications.In addition, he is not good at handling the relationship with the players, which led to the confrontation between the players and him.

Therefore, in the next game, Real Madrid defeated two "underdog" teams with a score of 3 to 1 in the league.One is Celta Vigo and the other is Las Palmas.It's just that the game against Celta Vigo is away, while the game against Las Palmas is at the Bernabeu Stadium at home.

In these two games, it is impossible for our protagonist Victor to gain nothing.But, "Mr. 60 Minutes," is the new nickname some media are now giving Victor on purpose.And sure enough, even if Victor starts the game, even if Victor scores goals and assists in the game, even if Victor performs very well, without injury or physical problems.

But Real Madrid's head coach Benitez, although he has never admitted it, Victor has already said it in front of the reporters.There is indeed a conflict between him and Benitez.It was all around the 60th minute of the game when Victor was replaced with Benzema or other substitute players.

And every time the substitute player who replaced Victor always looked sad.But Victor also knows that this is purely "fairies fight, mortals suffer." So except for the third game of the Champions League, the away game against Paris Saint-Germain in Paris, these two games.Victor always high-fives the teammates who replaced him.

Then, Victor went straight to the player tunnel as usual.Dissatisfaction with Benitez was palpable before.And these teammates of Victor also expressed their support for Victor to a certain extent, and did not isolate Victor because he took the initiative to confront the head coach.On the contrary, in the photos taken by reporters of Victor and his teammates together, everyone was talking happily.

After two rounds of the league, it is time to usher in the competition for the Champions League.This time Real Madrid is at their home court, facing the most powerful opponent in this group, Paris Saint-Germain, which they could not beat in the previous game.This time the soldiers of Real Madrid did not waste the opportunity. 1 to 0, although it was a small victory by one goal, it has basically ensured that Real Madrid has already stepped into the round of sixteen with almost half a foot.Next, Shakhtar Donetsk and Malmo are far inferior to themselves, and far inferior to Paris Saint-Germain.Real Madrid can sit back and relax.

The only goal for Real Madrid was still running unremittingly, Victor, who pressed the opponent's defender.But Victor was still at that moment, in the 60th minute, replaced by Benitez.

Next, Real Madrid tasted defeat for the first time this season in an away game against Sevilla.After the opening game, Sevilla, who sit at home at the Pisjuan Stadium, showed their strength as "a strong contender for the La Liga championship" and "the overlord of the Europa League".

Real Madrid, who were far stronger than themselves on paper, did not break through the gate guarded by their goalkeeper, Rico, until the 22nd minute.However, after about ten minutes, Victor's "old acquaintance," the Juventus striker Immobile who had not been reused and was forced to leave, equalized the score.

And in the second half, shortly after Benitez would replace Victor again in the 60th minute.Sevilla overtook the score.Llorente, full name is Fernando Llorente.This tall Spanish man who was a teammate with Victor at Juventus, his appearance allowed Sevilla to overtake the score.

This seemed to be the last straw that crushed Real Madrid. Banega's goal in the 74th minute completely made Real Madrid lose their confidence in winning.Although Real Madrid tied the score at 3-2 at the last moment, it was more like a shame.However, Real Madrid had no time to think about the defeat, because the next round, the national derby.However, in the meantime, these Real Madrid stars have to "return to the country to serve the king."
