Capello sat on the couch in the villa that Real Madrid had rented for him in Madrid, with a phone tucked over his shoulder, listening to his agent inform him of the final result.

'You led the team to the La Liga title, even without the Champions League, and the result was ecstatic. But in fact, the key to the problem is not focused on the European results, as far as the club's top management is concerned, what they really hesitate is the feedback of the fans, your 1-0 victory is not Real Madrid at all, or this is not the Real Madrid they once loved. ”

But having said that, the voice coming from the earpiece was full of joy, Capello didn't think that being fired by Real Madrid would make the agent happy, otherwise Mr. Agent would be waiting to be fired by himself. "But people see a bright future for this team, and they say they see the progress of cooperation and a bright future." Of course, in other words, you and I know it well, a 3-0 in the national derby is enough to impress all of the Millingers. ”

However, the development of that game was actually very different from the tactics he laid out before the game, and it was the overperformance of those players that impressed the old-fashioned fans, rather than his defensive tactics. Capello is happy to be retained, but he actually knows it's not a long-term solution.

Yes, Capello is referring to the 'long-term solution'.

On the one hand, this summer break must be replenished, in the second half of the season after Raul mentioned the midfield, the forward line Van Nistelrooy, Higuain and Robinho, the latter two are always in a state of flux when they are young, and the former, the Dutchman's glass physique can be said to be fully revealed in Vanney. At the same time, it needs to be supplemented... Capello feels every position needs to be filled.

Royston Drenthe, nicknamed a striker, a true defender and a striker, has come to Real Madrid, and this much-talked-about young player may be a jack-of-all-trades, replacing Beckham's No. 23 shirt on a free transfer, which has not been renewed, is Ajax's midfielder, Wesley Sneijder, and the last Dutchman to arrive at Real Madrid is Peter Pan's Alger Robben.

It seems to be working against the Dutch gang in Barcelona back then, and this time Real Madrid also formed its own 'Dutch gang' composed of Ruud van Nistelrooy, Drenthe, Robben and Sneijder.

People come and go, and after Ronaldo left in a hurry during the winter break, in addition to David Beckham, Elguera and Carlos left Real Madrid during this summer break. Forlan, who is still very young at the back, was classified as an senior group with Salgado, who is in his thirties, and his partners are still a group of young people.

This holiday may not be destined to be easy.

These are the things that the manager and the club's hierarchy need to worry about, and there is a rare summer break without a big tournament when Real Madrid have gone all over the world. As for Fran, after his sister was married, and his parents began to travel to the world on a whim during their son's rare vacation, Fran, who had always arranged his vacation according to 'all actions and commands', had no reason to go out to play, and when Carvajal came to his residence, Fran was slumped on the sofa and had a lot of junk food bags piled up on the table in front of Fran, who looked like he was self-decadent.

Carvajal looked at Fran, who was wearing a loose vest and large square-rimmed glasses, and the otaku atmosphere on his face confused Mr. Agent's face, making him lift Fran's vest without thinking. Fran watched the agent's movements with a confused expression, until Carvajal snorted twice, "It's a good thing, I thought I didn't pay attention for a while, and you ruined your abs." Fran pushed the sliding glasses frame, touched his feel-good abs, and looked at the big belly that Carvajal's suit couldn't hide, and secretly complained in his heart, this guy is still embarrassed to talk about me?

Maybe it's because Fran's mind is too undisguised, Carvajal can see at a glance what he's slandering, "You're a sports athlete, those little girls tout that you're a handsome guy in the Sunshine Sports Department, what do you compare with me?" He said and looked around Fran's house for a week, except for the pile of presumably newly made garbage in front of him, the whole was quite tidy, but how did he think that those little girls all brought their own beauty cameras?

"I'm just a few days away, you see I've been so self-controlled during the season, you just eat a big meal at home and bask in the sun on vacation. Fran grabbed his hair and looked like, 'I'm like this, what else can you do if you don't like it', Carvajal unbuttoned his shirt to avoid being angry, "How many days are you going to waste? I see you're going to be in the sky, how many pounds of meat have you grown in the past few days that don't have any effect? I don't worry about you during the season, but this holiday is like a hungry wolf rushing into a sheepfold without control, how can we get our self-control back?"

“... The hungry wolf rushed into the sheepfold, do you describe me as hungry or what's wrong? I haven't had any scandals lately. Fran tiptoed back to the table the freshly unpacked potato chips, hesitated and then taunted them and stuffed them into Carvajal's arms, smiling like a bribe, 'You eat what you eat'. Carvajal pouted and stuffed a slice into his mouth, swallowed the strange taste and put the potato chips back on the table, muttering "I really have a brain in my head for believing in your choice" as he said, "You don't have a scandal, so I'm here to send you a scandal." ”

"Huh?" Fran was bewildered by what Carvajal said, and when he saw the advertising plan in front of him, he immediately realized that his good days of curling up at home every day were over. Speaking of which, Mr. Agent has been busy with Raul's national team-related operations, and it is really flattering that he can still take care of himself, although Fran actually doesn't want his agent to notice that he is another matter. But he had heard Casillas mention it many times, either jokingly or seriously.

In the warm-up of the new season, because there is no change in the head coach, it is relatively simple for everyone who has been cultivated for a year under Capello's coaching, but the overall run-in of the team is still the top priority under the arrival of many newcomers. Within the team, the gradual disintegration of the Brazilian gang is correspondingly the strong rise of the Dutch gang. But in fact, this so-called Dutch gang will not bring the same sense of crisis to the Spanish people as the Brazilian gang back then, on the one hand, because the Dutch have always scattered Van Nistelrooy, Robben, Sneijder, and Drenthe in various leagues, except for the first two debuts Eindhoven have some connections, basically no friendship. On the other hand... Well, don't worry about it at all, don't worry about whether there will be a conflict between the two gangs, the Dutch themselves are thankful that they don't fight themselves.

And if Robben's arrival is one more winger option, Drenthe is a panacea, and Sneijder's arrival at Real Madrid is obvious for the competition for midfield control, that is Guti's own concern, after all, Capello's choice has always looked at the state rather than the human feelings. The lone 'Swede' Fran, as always, magically mingles with the people he has his eye on, and in it he finds himself inexplicable, indescribable, and suddenly crushes to Alger Robben.

This kind of goodwill is manifested in the fact that when Casillas is extremely busy in private and doing certain aspects of the comparison, when Guti has to work hard and consume a lot of brain cells in order to ensure his position at the heart of the midfield, the spirit of 'ground companion' that has been idle for many years after Beckham is once again burning in Francisco Alvarez.

Robben, who had just successfully married his childhood sweetheart Benardyn during the summer break, was always full of happiness on his face, and the joy of loving □□ and reaping the harvest was probably exactly that. Although after so many years, Fran subconsciously still can't help but envy such a natural and happy couple who really come together and are logical. Of course, Robben would not refuse the kindness of Fran, who has a good reputation inside and outside the team, but once he had a small talk about what he would have done if he hadn't chosen to be a footballer.

Fran looked at the couple smiling at each other, feeling that he had been poked again as a single dog, and heard Bernardine begin to count the list of accolades that Robben had won as a child, such as the 'Junior Chess Champion, Junior Tennis Champion, and Cycling Champion Balabala'. Fran was stunned at the end, and could only express his inner respect by clapping the sea lion.

Raul saw that Fran, who was thrown out to explore the way, once again successfully broke into the base camp of the opponent's troops, and mixed well, on the one hand, he once again confirmed Fran's talent in some aspects, and on the other hand, he also hoped that these things could occupy some more of his energy, save him from worrying about other things, and intervene in the event that was a foregone conclusion. It has to be said that the plan worked, Fran even learned about the termination of Casillas and Carvajal in the newspaper.

For this matter, if it weren't for the fact that he was also under Carvajal's name, it actually had nothing to do with Fran. But Casillas made this choice, and although Fran was mentally prepared before, he still had to ask Casillas what he thought.

"What kind of conflict can you have with Raul? Fran sat on Cassie's couch and looked at his friend, his face looking haggard, and he was overwhelmed by the off-field accident. Casillas didn't blame Fran except for the strange words "You finally remembered me" when Fran came over at the beginning. Hearing Fran's question, Cassie looked directly at him, "There is no conflict? Do you think there is no conflict in the slightest? Do you know why he puts so much effort into you? It's because you are not on the Spanish team, so there is no conflict in shaping your role as Raul's number one in Spain." And me?"

"It's '07, and Raul is thirty, so it's not nice to say," Fran sighed, "It's not good, since Aragonés didn't call Raul into the national team, how does Carvajal actually work and how much of a difference? ”

"It's 07 now, is it really until the moment he finally realizes that Raul won't be selected for the national team, and he starts to prepare for me to get that captaincy title too?" Casillas has nothing to hide from Fran, after all, Fran knows what he thinks, Fran scratches his hair, this is his subconscious action when he consumes a lot of brain cells, "So what, these people in Spain now, you are the most likely to take over the captaincy of the national team." Both Puyol and Xavi are Catalans, and as you know, no Catalan has ever been the captain of the Spanish national team. ”

What Fran actually didn't understand was that "the position of captain of the national team is particularly important? "Igor Casillas is good at everything, but he takes fame and fortune and rights too seriously.

"Raul is old, but Carvajal has been trying to mold him into the number one player in La Liga. Cassie seemed to be in a hurry and panicked, and Forlan thought it was actually quite chilling, after all, he was not old, who knows?

Fran wants to say, oh, you want to open a little bit, we are still young, Fran wants to say, you think Raul's form is declining now, but we all have this day, Fran also wants to say, you also know that Carvajal has a lot of influence in La Liga, and if you offend him, there will inevitably be a lot of news that is not good for your image, and others don't care if it's true or not. But in the end, he looked at Casillas, who seemed extremely tired, and said only "oh". Casillas then fell silent, not asking Fran if he would also leave Carvajal's control. After all, he could see that it wouldn't be long before Carvajal shifted his focus more and more to Fran, who was actually benefiting from this. Cassie also guessed that Carvajal's connections over the years were not in vain, and if he had a grudge against his departure (Cassie himself didn't think he would be without resentment), in the near future, it is estimated that his off-court image will inevitably be discredited.

When we were all young, we were close and all we needed to do was play well and there would be people who would take the initiative to carry the load.

Later on, we all became the kind of player who could do it on their own, and Forlan just needed to play well as he did when he was younger, but I gradually became the one who took the initiative to carry the load.

Now that I think about it, if our relationship was in danger for a long time, then this incident may be the first crack.
