165 chapter 165
Real Madrid, who advanced to the thrilling game, as Forlan said, will face Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. But if Real Madrid put aside Casillas' slip in form at this time, the biggest opponent the team is now facing is Barcelona.
After the Champions League second leg elimination of Schalke 04 on aggregate, a home game against Levante will be followed by a national derby of the second leg at the Camp Nou in Barcelona. Barcelona will want to wash away the humiliation of the 4-1 defeat at the Bernabeu half a season ago, and Real Madrid will have to do their best to at least hold on to a draw to secure top spot in the league.
But perhaps it was Forlan's slump in form after the first-half national derby that made Carlo Ancelotti too concerned, with the Italian hesitant to decide whether to start Forlan. Admittedly, Fran seems to have gone the other way lately, but so far it has only provided him with a stage to perform, and has not yet withstood too many tests.
He did choose the way that suited him, but after all, the time was too short to be fully understood. Carlo Ancelotti packs the ticket, if Forlan starts, Barcelona will use him as a breakthrough point to plan an attack. The question is, if he is beaten by Barcelona again, will he really collapse?
Carlo Ancelotti saw Forlan's efforts and wanted to believe that he would do well, but he was always conservative and unwilling to make such an uncertain bet. It's not about Real Madrid's defence or the credibility of the coach in the squad, it's that Ancelotti doesn't want to bet on Forlan's future.
Yes, even if he is thirty-four, but since Fran himself is still trying to change, then Ancelotti will look forward to his future.
At Real Madrid, neither Raphael Varane, Carvajal nor Marcelo can replace Forlan's place and value in the team. But even so, Ancelotti called Fran and asked him what he meant.
When called into the office, Forlan guessed that Carlo Ancelotti would be thinking about the midweek national derby against Barcelona, but he thought he still wanted to use himself as a counter to attract the Barca crowd who hated him a lot. Who knows the question for Ancelotti is whether he is willing to play or not.
Forlan hadn't thought about whether he would need to play in a game like the National Derby, and in his opinion it was only when he would be substituted in the second half. But hearing Ancelotti's question, he knew that Italians had good intentions, but he was not very used to this type of kindness.
He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't hold back the more impulsive sentence, "What did you say when you asked Maldini not to participate in the Milan derby because of his declining form?"
Ancelotti was stunned, but he didn't think that Fran was disrespectful to himself, and he even had a feeling of "ah, he was finally dissatisfied with letting him back down again and again". Hearing him mention Maldini, Ancelotti also remembered Maldini, who often sat on the bench at the end of his career due to injury. To be honest, according to his friendship with Maldini, he can make a decision directly without saying much, so why do you need to discuss it so earnestly?
Forlan got rid of the initial resentment, and also knew that Ancelotti was thoughtful, but could he really do without himself?" "Igor's recent form has dropped dramatically, you put me off the pitch again, Modric has just recovered from injury, even if he recovers and can play to his strength, you will withdraw Sergio from midfield to the back. But neither the midfield nor the backfield can completely compete with Barcelona. ”
He has never been a person who can't afford to lose, and he has won a lot of hostilities with Barcelona over the years, and he has lost a lot. If his confidence is hit like that again, Forlan doesn't know if he can but Carlo Ancelotti is different, and if he keeps this national derby, he can almost keep the La Liga title. In this way, on the basis of his Champions League victory last season, he also retained the position of Real Madrid manager.
"This position," Fran pouted at where Ancelottien was sitting, "It's too hard to sit down." Ancelotti smiled gently, looking honest and honest, in fact, he is also a representative of stubbornness in the eyes of many people, "Do you not believe in Igor's goalkeeping skills, or do you not believe that Chris can score first?"
Fran knew that many things were not a matter of whether he didn't believe in each other, but he could only nod in the end, "Then I'll go to Camp Nou with the team as a substitute, it's all right?"
"That's what I thought, too. Ancelotti replied.
In the end, Real Madrid were overtaken by Barcelona after scoring first at the Camp Nou, losing 1-2 and ceding the top spot in La Liga, which had remained for most of the season. With the score down in the first half, when an attacking player was more important than a defender, Carlo Ancelotti did not replace Forlan in the second half.
The last time Forlan didn't play in a national derby was back in the 1011 season, when he was kicked out by Costa with an injury, and today's Barcelona crowd is so brave that Forlan thinks he probably won't change much if he is on the pitch. He sat there like every Real Madrid man with a sad face from the loss, his eyes swept over Casillas, who lowered his head and adjusted his goalkeeper's gloves over and over again, and sighed.
The relationship between Casillas and the club's hierarchy is not as harmonious as it was when he first became captain of Real Madrid. In his battle with Mourinho, Mourinho's departure seemed to be his victory, but in fact, as Forlan said, he was a loser. As long as Casillas can guarantee his form, then Real Madrid will be very lenient with him, otherwise, it will be another problem. However, Casillas' agent is Mendes, and the Portuguese rarely loses in the game.
At the same time, it is also because Forlan can sit on the bench as a substitute under the decision of the head coach, and with the arrogance of Casillas, he must not be willing to be a substitute goalkeeper in Real Madrid.
Each has its own ideas and grievances, and Fran can't tell who is right and who is wrong, and he can't tell which choice is good and which is bad.
After the national derby, there was of course a burst of criticism for Real Madrid who lost, from coach Carlo Ancelotti to captain Casillas, from the out-of-position Ramos to the completely out of flames Bale, and of course, Benzema, who was destined to take the blame. Forlan's absence was inevitably mentioned at the press conference, with Ancelotti not responding when asked if it was an injury, only stressing that 'this is a normal rotation'.
your normal rotation!When this phrase came out of Ancelotti's mouth, many people just wanted to reply to Ancelotti like this. But the Italians didn't say anything else, so they didn't know whether to hype Forlan to be disliked by Ancelotti, or whether to say that the former Real Madrid defenders were afraid of Barcelona.
Online fans are not only interested in this defeat itself, after all, it has not been once or twice by the next door in the past few years, but more depressed that they are the first in their league because this gave way to the opponent. On the issue of the team members, it has to be said that they have been given a double blow this season, the former goalkeeper has become a butter hand in front of goal, and has been ridiculed by the big mouth of Roy Keane in the Premier League as "constantly throwing football at his own goal". In the past, the state of perpetual motion machines declined, and although the prospect of transformation can be seen, no one knows what the future holds.
It's no secret that Real Madrid is a club that feeds countless media outlets in Europe, and this flash-exposed giant is always in the spotlight, and of course it won't be let go of at this moment. The news reports and column comments one after another forced the Meilingers to start discussing, "According to the tradition of our club, the worst guess is probably that Casey and Forlan both transferred at the end of the season, right?"
Some netizens spoke like this, and some of the comments below were saying, "Maybe Cassie and Forlan are double substitute insurance" was sprayed by a group of people, and the players didn't really sell your Real Madrid, why did they let him stumble on the bench. There are also those who believe that although Forlan still has a one-year contract with the club, it is not impossible for him to transfer freely due to the player's personal favors.
'When Guthilaur is gone, when Kaka is gone, when Mesut Ozil is gone, think about what the club has become of being scolded by the players. I hardly believe what Casey and Forlan would be like if they were to move together. I think that when the time comes, it is better to say goodbye to the Internet and keep it safe in that transfer period. ”
“... Honestly, if Fran really falls to the point of leaving Real Madrid, I'm afraid I can't help but blame this club. ”
“... +1 upstairs, I don't even dare to think that there is such a possibility. ”
"Hurry up Bah Blah! I, Fran, will definitely be able to realize his dream of being a Real Madrid man for the rest of his life, and he has survived all these years. ”
"I don't want to think about it, but... So many players who say they want to live at Real Madrid for the rest of their lives, how many of them can finally achieve it?"
"Actually, you don't think the most terrible thing is that if your conjecture comes true, then what we should be entangled in is that Ramos and Marcelo, who were previously the third and fourth captains, will take over the position of captain and vice-captain of the team, Real Madrid's painting style..."
The forum fell silent suddenly.
——————
In the Champions League, Real Madrid's quarter-finals and Atletico Madrid's two-legged draw ended with a 0-0 away draw and a 1-0 win at home to advance to the Champions League semifinals. The Champions League semi-finals are Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus.
Judging from the list alone, there are no dark horses in this year, and each of them is a veritable giant team. Perhaps it is the impression of Serie A's decline, many people think that Juventus is one of the big gifts, and whoever chooses Juventus has a godfather and is almost guaranteed to enter the Champions League final.
But this is all standing and talking without back pain, after all, Juventus cannot be a weak team, and they are not Real Madrid's favorite opponents with strong defense. In the Real Madrid team, in fact, the players feel that the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich should be a good choice.
It's not that they look down on Bayern, but Real Madrid has frequent injuries in the team, and almost half of the main team in Bayern's team has been injured. Wounded to wounded, sick to sick, how fair, and there is no need to be full of sorrow when choosing Juventus, and there is always a suspicion of 'selling cheaply' when you say it.
However, in the end, Real Madrid's opponent in the semifinals of the Champions League was really Juventus.
When the screen full of Barcelona fans brushed the "shady curtain next door", "the final next door was escorted", and "the black box operation next door", Real Madrid fans actually just wanted to say that they were not so sincere in pursuing the old woman.
