Legendary Godfather

The spring breeze is warm in the Spanish spring afternoon, the soft sunshine shines on the Real Madrid Sports City in Valdebebas, and the entire training ground is warm.

Zidane stroked his bald head and looked at the busy Real Madrid players on the field.

After a while, he nodded with satisfaction.

The team has been in good form recently, and successive wins have put them at the top of La Liga, three points ahead of second-placed Barcelona. With three rounds left in the league, Zidane is full of confidence and feels that there should be no problem in winning the La Liga championship.

Now his mind is set on the Champions League.

For the Champions League, it is not only Real Madrid’s senior management who is full of expectations, but he himself is also full of expectations.

The Champions League title is their only goal.

Originally, they should have won the Champions League last season. It's a pity that they were unexpectedly eliminated by Crystal Palace, which they couldn't accept.

What I didn't expect was that this year Real Madrid would run into Crystal Palace again.

This time, they will never let the tragedy of last season happen again!

This season, they must defeat Crystal Palace, reach the finals, and win the UEFA Champions League trophy!

This time, there is no room for error!

Real Madrid's players are now in very good condition, and Zidane is naturally confident and in a very good mood.

Suddenly, a stack of information was handed to him.

Zidane glanced at the information, and then at the person who handed it over - David Bettoni!

Bettoni, like Zidane, also has a bald image.

No wonder these two people have become close friends. They even have very similar images and the same tastes.

They have known each other for a long time and have become good friends when they played together in Cannes. They have been friends for so many years until now. He has been Zidane's chief assistant when Zidane became Ancelotti's assistant and when Zidane coached Castilla alone.

When Zidane first took over as the head coach of Real Madrid, Bettoni was appointed by Zidane as the team's chief assistant. At that time, Bettoni did not have an A-level coaching certificate and was frantically reported and questioned by many well-known media including "World Sports News", but Zidane still supported Bettoni.

Until now, Bettoni has been Zidane's most trusted first assistant.

The two of them have a deep relationship and a tacit understanding of each other, which is also an important reason for Real Madrid's current good performance.

Zidane immediately took the information and looked through it carefully.

This pile of information is all about recent information about their next opponent, Crystal Palace!

Zidane is convinced of this situation.

Because when he was a member of Ancelotti's coaching staff, Bettoni's job around him was to collect information. that paragraph

Over time, Benito had not made any mistakes in collecting information, so he trusted Benito so much.

Looking at the information in his hand, Zidane raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "It seems that our opponent's situation is very bad recently!"

Bertoni nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Ibrahimovic's serious injury has a very, very big impact on them."

Zidane has already seen this from this information.

There should be great chaos in the Crystal Palace formation now, and there might even be conflict between factions, right?

After all, the outside media has been fanning the flames and speculating on who is the best successor to Ibrahimovic.

Many media reporters feel that Tong Yi, a Chinese soft-boiler, should choose Ignacio. After all, Tong Yi's nepotism problem is still very obvious, especially in his attitude towards Ignacio and Jimenez. Anyone can see that he is more optimistic about Ignacio and pays more attention to Ignacio.

Now that Ignacio has recovered from his injury, even if his condition is not good, Ignacio will be given enough time to play to regain his condition.

Jimenez has performed very well recently, scoring goals continuously, proving his ability and strength. But his playing time is still being compressed, and all of his compressed time was given to Ignacio.

During this period, Jimenez's performance completely surpassed that of Ignacio, but Tong Yi still favored Ignacio.

If Ignacio's scandal hadn't been so intense recently that the club had to impose penalties, Jimenez's position would have been replaced by Ignacio.

Therefore, everyone thinks that the person who will succeed Ibrahimovic in the near future must be Ignacio.

Jimenez won't get any chance at Crystal Palace.

Moreover, especially in the past game, Ignacio's performance actually improved. This gave Tong Yi even more fame. Now he was able to take down Jimenez openly and correct Ignacio.

Of course, at this time, there were also many media and fans complaining about Jimenez.

They all support Jimenez!

Everyone is vividly aware of Jimenez's recent performance. Since March alone, Jimenez has already scored an astonishing 15 goals in limited playing time in various events.

Shouldn't such an excellent performance make him Ibrahimovic's successor?

Some media reporters even claimed that with such results, even when Ibrahimovic is healthy, Jimenez can compete with him. Now that Ibrahimovic is injured, shouldn't his position still belong to Jimenez?

Jimenez has such an amazing performance, why do you let Ignacio step on his head?

Ignacio has been recovering from injury for so long, what data has he produced?

That is to say, he only scored two goals in the game that just ended. Otherwise, his data after returning from injury would still be 0!

How can such a person be compared with Jimenez?

The position left by Ibrahimovic should be given to Jimenez!

Webster and other media reporters are cheering for Jimenez and putting pressure on Tong Yi.

At this time, it's not just the media reporters and fans who are clamoring about these things. .??.

According to a report by "The Times" reporter Webster, there are two camps in the Crystal Palace club. Some people support the correction of Jimenez, and some support the correction of Ignacio.

But now the two parties are somewhat inconsistent in daily training and life. There are conflicts within the Crystal Palace, which is likely to cause the team to become disunity. Perhaps under such circumstances, if Crystal Palace collapses this season, the current lineup of Crystal Palace will most likely fall apart during the next summer transfer period, and many Crystal Palace stars will choose to leave.

The Crystal Palace is really going to collapse and be doomed!

Moreover, at this time, Jimenez and Ignacio also stood up and expressed their opinions.

They all claim that they are the best successor to Ibrahimovic, and they all claim that the position of Crystal Palace's main center should belong to them.

Although the two people did not openly quarrel, they were completely on opposite sides.

Even "The Sun" reporter Delvestri reported that in normal training life, Ignacio and Jimenez never spoke to each other, and there was no communication at all. The relationship between the two has reached a freezing point and is irreconcilable.

He claimed that the atmosphere within the Crystal Palace team has become extremely bad and internal conflicts are likely to break out next.

He said he agreed with Webster's view that Crystal Palace would definitely collapse this season.

Fortresses often fall apart from within.

Such is the case at Crystal Palace right now.

Delvestri said it is absolutely impossible for Crystal Palace to win the Premier League title this season, let alone the Champions League title.

He also claimed that Crystal Palace will definitely lose in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals with Real Madrid!

Moreover, Crystal Palace fans were divided into two factions at this time, some only supported Jimenez, and some supported Ignacio. There were many public discussions between the two parties, which eventually turned into scolding each other, and even almost started fighting...

Seeing the contents of these materials, the corners of Zidane's mouth rose even more.

incredible.

He turned to look at Bertoni and asked, "What do you think about this matter?"

Benito was well prepared and said directly, "It's not like the Chinese soft rice man is such an irrational person. The media reporters are probably setting the pace for the above content, and it's very obvious that they are targeting the Crystal Palace." . The inside of Crystal Palace should not be as bad as they reported."

Zidane nodded slightly in agreement.

Although he doesn't know Tong Yi very well, there is no doubt about Tong Yi's ability.

Although this guy Tong Yi also has some problems, such as nepotism.

However, this guy can still understand the importance. In the face of the overall situation of team performance and nepotism, he will definitely be able to make the right choice.

Perhaps Tong Yi's heart does favor Ignacio now, but at this time, he will definitely not do it so obviously. Especially now that it is a critical moment to achieve results, will this guy Tong Yi leave Jimenez who is in better condition and can score goals?

Anyway, Zidane didn’t believe it.

Maybe there are some problems inside the Crystal Palace, but Tong Yi should be able to suppress them now.

Therefore, Zidane will not believe the news from these media reporters.

Zidane smiled slightly and said, "You said that, did you find something?"

Benito immediately nodded and said, "Although the starting lineup of Crystal Palace has not yet been determined, I have already heard that in our game with Real Madrid, the starting center will be Jimenez, not as the outside media reporters have guessed. It’s Ignacio!”

Zidane nodded slightly, "It's pretty much what I thought."

Then, Zidane looked at the information in his hand and asked, "Your information says that Kanter is injured and may not be able to play in this game. Is it true?"

Yes, this news is what Zidane takes most seriously.

Kanter's importance to Crystal Palace is self-evident. If he is injured and cannot play, the impact on Crystal Palace will be huge. If Kanter is really injured, this is great news for Real Madrid.

Bertoni smiled slightly and said, "It's true. I found out this news without any objection."

Zidane raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Why is there no news from the outside world?"

Benito immediately said, "This news has been blocked internally by the Crystal Palace and is in the confidentiality stage, but I am sure that this news is 100% accurate."

Zidane immediately smiled. In this case, Real Madrid will definitely win this game.

Zidane looked at the information in his hand again. He felt that it would be difficult for Real Madrid to lose in this game. There were indeed many problems inside the Crystal Palace!
