[Football] I'm just a defender

Under Manuel Pellegrini, Real Madrid has been in a stable state for the first three months of the season. After the away game against Barcelona, ​​the two La Liga giants have always maintained an equal momentum and kept pace. The half season has not yet passed, and they have already thrown off No. 3 is almost ten.

However, there is still a team that will lose in the competition after all. This time the competition is still won by the imposing Barcelona.In the words of Western media, Real Madrid seems to have changed a team after the winter break, which is meant to be ironic.

Not only is the most difficult Christmas season in the Premier League, but in the rest of the mainstream leagues, the period before and after the winter break is a watershed.If it is the slack before the winter break, it can be reversed by the holidays, but when the enthusiasm of the crowd suddenly vents because of the holidays, the terrible downturn after the holidays occurs.

This is exactly what Real Madrid is going through.

In the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid lost 0:4 to West C and were knocked out, and Lyon was one goal behind in the first round of the Champions League round of sixteen. Pellegrini is still insisting. The opportunity proved that this Real Madrid team had not conceded defeat, and he insisted on waiting for an opportunity.

On March 3, 6 fans at the magnificent Bernabéu Stadium witnessed this opportunity. Real Madrid reversed Sevilla wildly and achieved the feat of surpassing Barcelona in points when Barcelona was tied away.In the game when the score fell behind early in the game, Pellegrini showed his rare courage. In the second half, the engineer replaced van der Vaart and the vice-captain Gutiga to attack. The defense, including Forlan, went to the center field advance.It doesn't make any difference whether you lose one goal or many goals, because everyone from the manager to the players understands that they have to seize this opportunity and they can only win.

Such a desperate tactic resulted in an epic victory, and Van der Vaart's lore goal gave Real Madrid a rebirth.Madrid's flag flew high in the night sky at the Bernabeu after this game, and they finally regained the top spot in La Liga.

Real Madrid manager Valdano said in an interview that the team would like to thank every player for their great efforts to win, and it was also the coach's excellent substitution that allowed Real Madrid to overcome great difficulties.It was also in this game that Pellegrini, who has been frowning recently, finally got Real Madrid's official praise for his coaching ability after several consecutive defeats.

Everyone knows that the game that will determine the La Liga championship this season, when both sides no longer make mistakes, depends on the national derby played at Real Madrid's home court in April.This is bound to no longer be the tepid draw scene in the first half of the season. Without warmth and sympathy between enemies, it will be a fierce collision, and there will always be a battle where one side must die.

"But we can't give up the Champions League competition." Pellegrini said this with a sigh, but there was a lot of hesitation in the seemingly firm words, which sounded like asking 'Should we give up? The competition for the Champions League', he said, looking at the dignified players sitting in front of him.Perhaps it was the joy of regaining the top spot, which made most of them have high fighting spirit, but Pellegrini found that he even wished to lose to Lyon by a big score in the first round of the top [-], so that they could recover when their condition recovered. On the one hand, recognize the current situation of being eliminated, and on the other hand, prepare for the league with all efforts.

And now?In the upcoming second round of the UEFA Champions League, Pellegrini will definitely not be able to passively challenge the Bernabeu. The 1-goal gap is not a problem for Real Madrid in good condition, but if they overtake the total score and advance, the next will be What they are facing is the Champions League knockout round, which is more difficult and frequent.Not to mention that if this Real Madrid team fails to defeat Lyon and is eliminated, the impact of the Champions League elimination will definitely affect the overall state of this team.

Pellegrini's worries are well known to all the people present, but no one can say "then let's give up the Champions League" at this time, even if they all know that the current state is really going to fight for a Champions League The championship is too unrealistic, but I still don't want to believe that it is impossible.Whether it's Raul Guticasi, a few veterans, newcomers who are eager to make contributions to the new club, or the Real Madrid club, they all hope to go all out.After all, Real Madrid has waited too long for the tenth crown.

Moreover, after all, this is not something they can pause just by saying pause. Everyone understands that they can only go forward until they are really broken and bloody, and there is no way out.The difference is that Pellegrini probably wants them to hold their heads high and smash their heads and blood, but they can only tiptoe into a dilemma based on the status quo.

But Raul thought, can he say to Pellegrini with confidence and confidence, let's work hard?He also seems to have acquiesced in his heart that preparing for the Champions League is destined to be a wrong choice that will even delay the league, so it is even more difficult for him to speak.

Fran looked at Raul who kept his thoughts empty and remained silent, Guti who was helpless when his lips squirmed but finally swallowed his words back, and Iker Casillas who seemed to be staring at a flower in the goalkeeper's glove.He knew that it was not his turn to say this no matter what. He was not the future captain, and he was a defender who could only defend. Even in the starting lineup, he seemed to be more of a gag.

But because of this, he doesn't have to worry as much as Cassie, and he also has more confidence in his ability than Raul and Guti.

Pellegrini standing in front of the tactical board was a little tired. Everyone present, including himself, was afraid that they would go out to a worse situation and tried to stay out of this muddy water, but no one was willing to part with it. Say give up.

"Why don't we try to watch it?" It was a recognizable voice that broke the oppressive silence of the blockbuster. He didn't even deliberately adjust his tone to be decisive, so that it sounded a bit procrastinated, as usual Lazy, like saying "why don't we go to dinner?" after a satisfying sleep in the afternoon

Someone turned to look at him, and he even asked "why don't we go to eat" as if he was full of sleep. It was easy and natural, and the choice of working hard in the Champions League was as natural as eating when he was full of sleep.Fran knew that he had to show full confidence, even if the source of this confidence was unknown, it couldn't look like he was pretending.What Real Madrid lacks now is actually not strength, but a backbone, a spiritual pillar. Forlan can't be that backbone, but he can at least influence them and straighten the backs of those who lack confidence and suffer blows.

Pellegrini looked at Forlan suspiciously. The Chilean engineers throughout the team always thought that Francisco Alvarez was a simple and complicated person.The whole world knows what he wants, to hang up his boots at Real Madrid, it's that simple.But how many people in the world know what is going on in his heart, and what does he really care about when laughter and sadness are freely switching on his face?

Fran and Pellegrini looked at each other, his eyes remained clear, as if he knew exactly what the head coach was thinking, and he seemed to have wandered elsewhere. Generally speaking, he actually didn't care.Fran looked at Ramos who was sitting beside him, and nodded to Pepe, Marcelo, Alvaro and others who looked at him not far away, "We will try our best not to concede a goal, or to break through us. I’m going to experience the danger of losing skin and losing flesh.” His words seemed to hit Ramos’s point of laughter, and the latter laughed and gave Fran a thumbs up

The head coach licked his dry lips before opening his mouth. Guti in the front row raised his hand and waved it. When he put it down, he hooked the shoulders of Kaka and Alonso sitting next to him. The golden wolf of Real Madrid could never laugh People ignore the traces engraved by time, still so passionate, his blue eyes seem to never be shrouded in a moment of shadow, "The best midfielders are all here." I don't know if he said this sentence Include yourself.

Casillas shrugged his shoulders. When he spoke, everyone around him put on relaxed smiles as if they were gradually being infected, "No need to say more, I am the best goalkeeper in the world!" The Spanish captain rarely revealed Tough posture.

Raul, who was sitting in the middle, folded his hands on his chest. He suddenly felt hot all over, and his blood was boiling and flowing in his body. The body seems to be full of youthful vitality, "Aren't we the most offensive strikers in the world?" He himself has not really given up yet.

Pellegrini watched all this, Raúl, Guti, Forlan, Cassie, the four forwards, midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers who stayed with the team when they fell from the altar of Real Madrid. The whole of Real Madrid.In fact, they are the few who lack the least honor, but what makes them willing to fight hard is the glory of Real Madrid after all.

What kind of team is Real Madrid?Pellegrini may have held a longing for this giant before he came to this club, but he has already dismissed it in the past six months. He even feels that this club may actually be as the outside world said. Amount of wealth and brilliant record nothing more.When people question the gold content of Real Madrid's first five crowns, this Real Madrid can't even compete for the championship to prove their own strength. They seem to only wave money to attract superstars, and then make themselves the grave of superstars.

But the scene in front of him made Pellegrini understand that after all, something is engraved in his bones. This team may have been in a trough for many years, but they are still fighters in white. The love of the club and the pride of fighting for it.

Whether it is a highlight or a setback for Real Madrid, Madridista will follow Real Madrid to the death.

But sometimes they are not willing to die so easily, and they still want to fight again and fight hard again.

"Then we," Pellegrini was no longer as unworthy of his fatigue as he was a few days ago. He felt that, as Fran said, this made his voice return to his usual calmness, "then we, let's Try it out."
