166 chapter 166
Real Madrid and Juventus did not advance to the Champions League semi-finals smoothly, and both advanced by small scores. As Forlan said before, for Carlo Ancelotti, perhaps only by defending the Champions League can he remain in Real Madrid.
Judging from the schedule, Real Madrid is in an advantage before the home, and Juventus, who have re-entered the Champions League semi-finals after 12 years, may be slightly weaker than Bayern and Barcelona overall.
The first time he played at Juventus' home stadium was no stranger to Carlo Ancelotti. Although in Milan, Ancelotti achieved unprecedented success and was the head of the Milan dynasty. But Carlo Ancelotti won only one International Toto Cup in his three years in charge of Juventus. And Allegri, who spoke to Carlo Ancelotti this time, also coached AC Milan, and the dialogue between the two managers is also a bit interesting. Just like Pep Guardiola, who is the head coach of Bayern Munich, faces his old club Barcelona.
After a long campaign, Real Madrid and Juventus have absolutely major injuries in the team's lineup. In Real Madrid's 1/8 final away match against Atletico Madrid, Modric was injured and was reimbursed for the season. The physical condition of Benzema and Bale in the front field is also not ideal, and it is still unknown whether they will be able to play in the next Champions League game.
Alvaro Morata joined Juventus from Real Madrid last summer and is now the focus of both parties. When Juventus bought out Morata for 22 million euros, Real Madrid and Juventus signed a pre-emptive buyback clause for the Spanish youngster, and it was reported that Real Madrid also deliberately added an avoidance clause when the contract between the two parties was signed, which proved to be nonsense.
However, the use of the recusal clause is not as great as the name seems, you must know that when Chelsea and Atletico Madrid met in the Champions League semi-finals last season, Chelsea wanted to use the recusal clause of Belgian goalkeeper Courtois in the Atletico Madrid team, but in the end UEFA ruled that it was against the fairness of competitive sports, and the treaty was invalidated.
In an interview, Morata said that he would give his all in the Champions League semi-finals, which is normal when each is in charge, but then Morata criticized the top management led by Florentino, complained about Ancelotti, hinted at the dark tide in the Real Madrid team, and encouraged his friend Jesus to leave the team, etc., at least in Forlan's opinion, it is not so wise.
Someone else interviewed Forlan about this, and Forlan didn't say much about it, every year many people criticize the giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona in order to show their uniqueness to gain attention. After all, Morata's words cannot be said to be completely fictional, at least part of them are the truth of what happened, and he did not speak of Fran himself. It was only in the face of malicious inquiries from the Italian media that he spoke, "I don't really have any opinion, if he has decided that he will not return to Real Madrid, it will all depend on his mood." ”
Forlan does think so, and if Morata is ready not to return to Real Madrid and establish himself at Juventus, then it would be fine for him to say so. But his buy-back clause is still in the hands of Real Madrid, and Juventus is currently only a rotation player with a slightly more chance, even if the child is to show loyalty before the two sides start the game, there is no need to offend the other side of the retreat.
Unlike Morata's □□, when Buffon's Champions League dream team was revealed, Casillas's name was prominently listed. These two former top goalkeepers have a good relationship, some people call it love and kill each other, but in other words, it is not impossible to call it sympathy.
Casillas and Gianluigi Buffon have long been regarded as rivals by the outside world, both captains of club and national teams, both have national team titles, and both are regarded as the best goalkeepers in the 21st world. Gianluigi Buffon won the Goalkeeper of the Year title four times, but since then he has been beaten by Casillas' five-time award. In the selection of the best goalkeeper in the first decade of the 21st century, Buffon won Casey again.
Comparisons between them are constantly being made, and even now they are being mentioned for their respective positions in the club. Buffon, who has been at Juventus for so many years, seems to have been very popular with Juventus fans, and on the contrary, Casillas's two years at Real Madrid have not been smooth sailing.
The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals was played in this situation, and although there was no worst-case scenario as predicted before the game, Benzema was unable to make it to Juventus due to injury. At the Juventus Arena, the first leg ended with a 1-1 draw.
Such a score is not satisfactory for both sides, but it is not disappointing either. The second leg at the Bernabeu Stadium will be the winner, at least on paper. Forlan was particularly good in this game, even destroying a near-sure goal from Juventus striker Carlos Tevez. On the other hand, Casillas' form has not satisfied the Millingers, especially when compared to Buffon, who tipped Kroos □□out of the woodwork with his fingertips, and made mistakes such as positioning mistakes when defending set-pieces.
After the game, the question of Casillas swept again, and it was not over, in the 36th round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Valencia, and Real Madrid lost 1-2 at the Bernabeu Stadium, losing this round of the league, and in the case of Barceloan's continuous wins, it almost buried the possibility of winning the league title.
Of course, it won't be Casillas' responsibility alone, but if they think so, then it may only be Casillas' responsibility.
There was a burst of boos from the Bernabeu South Stands, and the boos were so loud that even Casillas, who had already prepared the worst presupposition in his heart, turned pale. Even if the boos were soon overshadowed by the applause of the rest of the Real Madrid fans who came to the Bernabeu stadium, it did not compensate for the damage caused by the move.
The Bernabeu South Stand, the exclusive stand for Real Madrid members, is known as the stand of Real Madrid's die-hard members. One of the big things that the stands did was probably during Jose Mourinho's final game at the Bernabeu, with the manager's name being shouted "Jose Mourinho, Jose Mourinho!" at regular intervals throughout the game, while the anti-Mourinho fans booed at the same time.
They said, "Casillas and all the traitors of Real Madrid, get out of the Bernabeu! Mourinho, please stay." The slogan also reads: "Jose Mourinho, thank you for leading Real Madrid against the impossible." Banners. After Mourinho returned to the dressing room in the final game of the league, most of the fans in the south stand did not leave the stadium, chanting Mourinho's name for a full fifteen minutes until Mourinho, who had already entered the dressing room, re-entered the pitch.
Since then, Casillas has not been the goalkeeper in the name of 'saint' in the hearts of Real Madrid's South Stand fans.
The applause continued, not because the Real Madriders were happy to see a defeat, but because the boos continued. Forlan said many years ago that this club offers you too much salary and too much exposure certainly comes at a cost, and you need to carry more fingers and criticism for that wealth and attention, and boos are part of that.
But at this moment, he doesn't think so, there is no one on this green field who can not make mistakes, if they are reluctant to Mourinho, but they can't be guilty of putting Casillas on the opposite side completely. These people in the stands, apart from the right and wrong reports, who really know what's going on in the locker room? They take so much they don't know and demonize and dramatize it, and then they argue with each other about it.
In the era of cramming education and information explosion, everyone seems to be very anxious to make a conclusion on one thing by one person, completely forgetting all the causes and consequences, all the processes, emotions, and many things, which cannot be divided between black and white.
Casillas still stood motionless, his face expressionless and he fiddled with his goalkeeper gloves and snorted thinking about how long these men would be booing at him. The prodigal son will always be forgiven when he looks back, but his choices will undo all the hard work he has put into this club, and not only that, but he will face it again and again.
The boos continued, and suddenly Casillas had one more person next to him holding him on the back, straightening his spine. Not only that, but he even simply took Casillas in a different direction, not to take him to escape, but to look directly at everything that was happening in the South Stand.
When someone else appeared around him, Cassie knew it was Fran.
Forlan looked up at the fangled fans, and even though he didn't have much opportunity to sit here and watch the game, Forlan still had a season ticket for this camp. He is a hardcore man known for his loyalty, and he is a child of the South Stand, but he is also a coward who does not have to take on the responsibility of captaincy and can win countless favors with just a few beautiful words.
Everyone thought Casillas was luckier than Forlan because of his original Champions League title, but Forlan knew that he was far more fortunate than Casillas in addition to those titles on paper.
"Think about Mourinho, Casillas is to blame!" said a strong man in the front row of the South Stand, irritated by Fran, who was looking directly at him, and his voice was clearly audible in a chorus of boos, at least Forlan could hear it clearly.
Now you're spraying him for 'taking the blame', and when he's gone, please don't call this club 'impersonal'. After all, you haven't done such a stupid thing once or twice, isn't it you who scolded Mourinho before he confirmed to leave?
Fran raised an index finger in front of his mouth, then raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling that the voice would be quiet. People's hearts are biased, and such actions will be provocative when others make them, but Fran, who is favored, will not. The sound of the south stand gradually subsided, and they could only watch Fran, who was sweating profusely after the game, stalk his neck, and vaguely hear him shouting:
"Jose is gone!
"It's just Igor Casillas, there's no Mourinho!"
The author has something to say: I haven't left any messages recently, I don't know if the plot development is not satisfactory.
Hawkers, but it doesn't matter, I'll write quietly, and you'll watch quietly.
Maybe I'm too idealistic from the text.
Alas, I have a friend who has been an Italian fan for many years, and she watched the match between Spain and Italy today and said something to me, which impressed me very much. She said, I thank Buffon for his dedication to the national team for so many years, but now I am still letting him start the national team, is it difficult to admit that Buffon is old?
In fact, she is quite right, whether it is on Buffon being old, or admitting that it is difficult for Buffon to be old.
I don't have much to look forward to at the World Championships. 166 Reading Network
