Chapter 303 Scapegoat, Benitez
"Barcelona won the Bernabeu without Messi."

This is the title drawn up by many neutral football media magazines on the second day of this game, that is, after the first round of the national derby this season.And the game was indeed like this, it was played at Real Madrid's home stadium, the Bernabéu Stadium, but the score was indeed not what Real Madrid fans wanted to see.

0 to 4, Real Madrid suffered a four-goal massacre by Barcelona at their home court.If this score happened at Camp Nou, which is the home court of Barcelona, ​​then these Real Madrid fans can still comfort themselves with words like, "The away game is too much interference." and so on.

But this is at home, so Real Madrid fans were hit by the tragic loss of the game one by one in the next day.However, Real Madrid fans sometimes have to ask themselves, they actually have too high demands on Real Madrid players in their home courts.

Think about Drenthe, the hopeful star player of Dutch nationality. In 2007, he represented the Netherlands U21 national team and won the European U21 Nations Cup, and he also won the title of best player personally.And Drenthe, who came to Real Madrid with such a title, was booed by the harsh Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu.And refused to play at home.

In the end, this "second generation of Davis" who had a bright future could only leave Real Madrid in despair, and after a series of unsatisfactory careers, he was finally forced to announce that he was in his "golden age." retired.As for the reason, it has to be said that the psychological impact of Real Madrid fans on him is extremely huge.

However, Real Madrid fans will never "repent".And this home defeat to what they consider the biggest opponent, after Barcelona.Before the game was over, there were already boos from the "Meilingers" on the field, "for" the current head coach Benitez.And the white handkerchiefs waving all over the sky made the face of Benitez, who had been standing expressionless in the Real Madrid command area, even more ugly.

On the second day, due to the loss of the game and the Champions League game in the middle of the week, the Real Madrid players did not have a holiday.In Real Madrid's training base, outside the Real Madrid Sports City, a large number of fans wearing Real Madrid jerseys gathered.The banners and slogans they put up collectively declared their views very clearly.

"Benitez is out of class, it's best for Perez to leave too."

Perhaps the most unpopular crowd for Benitez, who became the head coach of Real Madrid this summer, may be these Real Madrid fans.After all, before Benitez, "Chilean engineer" Pellegrini was more like a transition, and then Mourinho, Ancelotti, which one is not the first-class head coach in world football.And now Benitez?This is all the more reminiscent of the headlines that Benitez made in a newspaper when he first took office.

"Benitez signed a three-year contract with Real Madrid. Barcelona will build a great dynasty under Benitez's coaching period."

But now thinking about this news, and thinking about last night's game, how can this not make these fans angry.

But even so, these Real Madrid players, although such as C-Ronaldo and Ramos, the "big bosses" who "master" the two largest "factions" in these two teams. One represents outsiders The "Portuguese-language gang," and the "Spanish-language gang," which represent local players, have a very tacit understanding and at the same time expressed their support for Benitez.

"I think we should support the coach at this time. We can't lose confidence in the coach because of the loss of this game. We will return to the right path." Is Ramos's words sincere?Anyway, Victor, who came a little later than Ramos, was stopped by reporters when he was about to enter the gate of Real Madrid Sports City and answered this question.Victor still had a smile on his face, and then said:
"He's our captain, and what he means is what we mean."

However, with such an answer, none of these reporters, as well as these Real Madrid fans, believed that these words were true.In other words, whoever thinks these words are true may be the biggest fool.

And even though this is said, these Real Madrid players, when they are on the training ground, Benitez is still not on the training ground now, and it is assistant coach Hiero who leads them.During the intervals of training, Ramos, C-Ronaldo, Victor, Pepe, Carvajal, etc., almost all the players covering all the "Portuguese and Spanish gangs" gathered together.At the same time expressed dissatisfaction with Benitez.

But the discussion between the players belongs to the inside of the locker room, they will not say it outside.The analysis of football critics such as newspapers and magazines has become the best material for ordinary fans to "condemn" Benitez.What is Benitez's tactical mistake, instead of the best 4-4-2 that Ancelotti has pointed out to beat Barcelona, ​​he insists on using 4-2-3-1. And Benitez does not use the only one in Real Madrid A defensive midfielder Casemiro makes Real Madrid's defense extremely easy to be penetrated by Barcelona players.In addition, Benitez made two mistakes in making substitutions. It is no problem to replace Marcelo, one of the only Real Madrid players who performed normally in this game, and replace Carvajal.But replace a left-back with a right-back, and there is a right-back Danilo on the field.What does it mean?
Therefore, in the final conclusions of these newspapers and magazines, it is still believed that Benitez is not enough to become the current head coach of Real Madrid.He couldn't handle the relationship with the players well, nor could he make the players obey him.The loss of this game was not because Real Madrid was not as strong as Barcelona, ​​but because of Benitez's own problems.

For a time, Benitez became the biggest "scapegoat."

However, the statements of newspapers and magazines cannot be heard by the players of Real Madrid, but not all of them.However, for the Real Madrid players, the most important thing to face is the next away game against Shakhtar Donetsk.Winning this game, Real Madrid entered the Champions League knockout round ahead of schedule.

And among the news that may be "gloomy", the only good news is that,
Victor returned from injury and is likely to start the next game.This may be the greatest consolation for Real Madrid fans.
