124 chapter 124

Jose Mourinho made his debut at the Bernabeu Cup with a group of new signings, the last warm-up game before the start of the league and a game that made the Mantian players curious. し。

How are the players doing after a summer break? How are the rookies doing in the new season? More importantly, can Jose Mourinho, the champion coach who has just led Inter Milan to the treble and brought a declining Serie A Champions League title, to develop good chemistry with Real Madrid?

In the previous promotion period of the Bernabeu Cup, it was expected that Real Madrid's opponent at the Bernabeu would be Brazil's Corinthians, and the Melingers had been expecting Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos to return to Madrid, and this time the fans agreed to give them a round of applause, because the team is always more 'kind' to their opponents than to themselves.

Unfortunately, in the end, Corinthians did not accept the invitation due to time conflicts, and the opponent of the match was Uruguayan team Penarol. Mourinho changed the style of big rotation on the field, put the suspended Ronaldo and Alonso directly in the starting lineup, in addition to Canales and Pedro, who performed well in the warm-up games, as well as Di Maria, Khedira, Carvalho and Ozil, who are also new signings, were introduced one by one before the game.

The only surprise to the media was that Francisco Alvarez was once again pressed on the bench by Jose Mourinho, and it is not clear who is leading the Real Madrid backline, but it is Carvalho who is in the central defensive position in the back three.

"It's not easy for the Portuguese!" said a reporter with some seniority in the press section, not knowing whether he was referring to Mourinho or Carvalho. Arnold Theodore shrugged his shoulders when he noticed the old rival's glances from time to time, "Don't you all know that Alvarez guy is resting for physical reasons?"

"I've been with Real Madrid for so many seasons and I've never seen him have any problems with four or five games off. Mr. Reporter said disapprehantly, but although this is just a warm-up game, Theodore is also more willing to focus on the game than to test each other with him, "If you want to report on Carvalho's mentorship from Porto, Chelsea and now with Mourinho to Real Madrid, it's good to report, anyway, to go deeper, it is estimated that people would rather believe that Mourinho wants to put two or even three central defenders, and will not believe that Carvalho can put Fran... Alvarez pressed on the bench. After that, he didn't bother anymore.

But although Theodore's words did not make reporters who wanted to make big news happy, they had to tell the truth. Forlan is now in the prime of a player's life, and he is no longer the rookie who can be pressed on the bench for half a season by the new manager of the team. As for Carvalho, although they all think that Mourinho brought him to Real Madrid to reuse him, the Portuguese has been hovering between the main and substitute in the past two seasons at Chelsea.

What's more, Mourinho was hired as the head coach of Real Madrid, and part of the reason is that he seems to be able to handle the dressing room relationship very well, where is the reason why the manager has just come to put last season's league hero and World Cup superstar on the bench, and when Real Madrid itself is a tattered defensive line? In Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan, it has never been heard that the coach is at odds, he has had a dispute with Cruz, and Carvalho has a brief disagreement. There was also a bit of a conflict with Balotelli, but it seems that they all reconciled later, and other disagreements are even more rare.

Because Carvalho, who seemed to have been at odds with him at the beginning, was summoned to Real Madrid again by Jose Mourinho, and now the La Liga media is generally reporting that the champion coach is easy to get along with the players, and this is at least what Real Madrid fans like to see at the moment.

Although God knows that a few years ago, the La Liga media unanimously believed that Mourinho was a handsome man.

In the nearly month-long warm-up match of the Real Madrid Tour, except for the match at Bayern Munich's home stadium in the Beckenbauer Cup, Forlan played the whole game, and even if he played, the rest of the games were the last garbage time to warm up. The first game of the new league season was away to Mallorca, and Mourinho still brought Forlan away as always, but he was not put in the starting lineup.

The treatment is completely different is the midfield that started several games in Khedira, Canales, and Di Maria, and even Ozil, who did not appear in several games in the United States, gradually has a stable playing time in warm-up games. There are 11 positions in the starting lineup, and some people are valued and have the opportunity to play, which naturally compresses the playing time of others.

Last season's Fernando Gago's performance was good, partly because of the appreciation of Argentine coach Manuel Pellegrini, but although the preparation for the warm-up game was not good, Gago vaguely felt that he might not be taken seriously in the new season.

It's been three years since he arrived at Real Madrid, a club he dreamed of playing for as a child under the name of 'Redondo's approved successor', but in three years he has made more than 80 appearances but only scored one goal and a few assists. He couldn't believe he could still play at this club, yes he was still 24 years old, but he almost stopped moving in the three years between the ages of 21 and 24.

Sitting on the bench and watching his teammates and opponents running on the field, Gago was momentarily at a loss for his future. Forlan was analyzing the defensive situation of Real Madrid with Cavajal, the new captain of Castilla, who was watching the game with the team, but Gago's vacant appearance was so obvious that Forlan couldn't pretend not to see it and kindly asked, "Are you okay Fernando?"

Alas... This is also nonsense, how can it be okay?

Gago was awakened by Fran's words, and smiled reluctantly but didn't say anything. Compared with the forward line composed of Ronaldo, Benzema and Higuain on the surface, the Real Madrid midfield is undoubtedly too competitive, and now the midfield position is Diarra and Alonso, and the midfielders who play in the front are all excellent, and Gago is stunned that he can't even say 'okay'.

Carvajal saw that his predecessor could not be instructed for a while, so he sat down next to him and leaned over to Granero, who was also his own. Granero glanced at the new captain of the Castilla defender, and felt that Castile's coach Mr. probably liked the defender, otherwise why always let the defender be the captain of the second team?

Forlan thinks that Gago is also stubborn, I heard that the coach of Boca Juniors wanted him to play in a different way, and in Real Madrid, Capello and Pellegrini even hinted that if he switched from the back to the front, then he would have a lot more opportunities to play. But Gago just recognized the position of the midfielder and the way Redondo played.

Admittedly, as Redondo praised, his understanding of the game and his artistic sense are so bright, but this does not make up for his physical shortcomings.

Is it so troublesome that the name 'Fernando' is?Fran wanted to sigh like this, but for a while he felt that no one around him could get this stalk, so it was difficult to say. "Pintita..."Forlan called out to Gago, Gago, who looked at him in confusion, after all, although his nickname is not as popular as Higuain's 'pipita', his teammates basically know and occasionally call him that, but he has never heard Fran call him like this, always 'Fernando' and 'Fernando', it feels like calling the former prince of the Bernabeu.

And this time, Fran, who finally stopped calling him 'Fernando', hesitated several times and didn't know whether to say it or not, Redondo let himself take care of some Gago in life, maybe he was not expecting him to be his successor, not to mention that Twenty-Four was no longer a child on the green field, and he should make all the decisions himself.

Forlan was still struggling, Gago looked at the vice-captain with an inexplicable tangled expression, and the field changed in the two of them for a while, Ramos and Carvalho, who were arranged as two central defenders, mismatched and Mallorca formed a great chance to score, but fortunately Casillas's flying save kept the football out of the door.

Mourinho also knew in his heart that it would be difficult for the two people, who had just been training together for a month, to reach the tacit understanding of Ramos and Forlan, so he waved directly at the bench but didn't see anyone get up, and when he looked back, he found that this guy didn't know what to think anyway, he didn't watch the game seriously. As soon as the assistant coach noticed that Mourinho's face was pulled down, he hurriedly went over to remind Forlan to warm up quickly, and the manager was going to replace him. Mourinho watched him obediently go to the sideline to warm up, so he didn't care what he was talking to Gago just now.

A few minutes later, Real Madrid signalled for a change, with No.5 Forlan replacing No.2 Carvalho. Carvalho was a little frustrated by the substitution, but Mourinho on the sidelines did not criticise him, pat him on the shoulder encouragingly. This substitution brought a huge change to the Real Madrid defense, at least from Ramos's point of view, this guy has absolute confidence in Forlan, and Saya stepped forward to assist and lost the middle area where both the defense and Carvalho were chaotic to Forlan alone.

Fran scratched his head, looking at the two midfielders who were unconsciously moving to the midfield, not knowing whether to be happy to gain their trust or complain about their inconsistency.

Ronaldo's performance throughout the game was exceptionally positive, this was his La Liga debut after wearing Real Madrid's No. 7, Real Madrid's legendary No. 7 will put pressure on others, but bring more motivation to Ronaldo. During the period when the Real Madrid back line gradually stabilized, Ronaldo and Higuain bombarded Mallorca's goal one after another, but they did not score for a while.

As the game drew to a close, Mallorca seemed to have settled for a draw and began to drag their feet on the clock. In contrast to Mallorca's efforts to delay the time, Real Madrid, who were unwilling to score a draw for the first game of the season, took a quick throw-in. Diarra, who had the ball on the sidelines, quickly threw the ball to Alonso, who ran a few steps with the ball and directly adjusted the angle to prepare a long shot without being marked, but was blown by the referee The foul whistle was blown by the referee, so that Alonso shot the plane and crossed the goal.

That position is the area where Alonso is good at long-range shots, and he was a little annoyed by the referee's whistle and looked to the sidelines, only to realize that it was not his own foul that was blown, but Diarra's throwing foul. On the sidelines, Mourinho complained to the fourth referee with great dissatisfaction, but in exchange for a yellow card warning from the referee. Forlan walked next to the referee and the head coach with a headache, thinking that it was great for me to open the door before the defender opened the door, but on the surface, he signaled the assistant coach to pull the coach quickly, and the game was not over yet.

Mallorca's mascot on the sidelines took advantage of the referee's inattention to hold the football and sell cuteness, but they just didn't throw the ball back into the field, and the Mallorca players didn't urge, anyway, they were not in a hurry to score goals. Forlan, who assumed the responsibility of vice-captain because of the inconvenient position of the goalkeeper of Casillas, was a little annoyed by Mallorca's negative response, he glanced at the mascot that was still holding the football hand and danced, and silently turned around and ran, and the referee saw that the Real Madrid vice-team did not return to its original position, but ran to the sideline without saying a word, turned over the billboard to get a football, and ran back quickly.

In the process, he didn't communicate with his teammates to solve the problem, nor did he report the problem to the referee, so he decided the method by himself. At this time, the referee also found Mallorca's passive response, and directly awarded the Real Madrid midfielder a throw-in, which is equivalent to directly exposing the part of Diarra. Forlan, who rarely threw a throw-in on the sidelines, looked at Alonso, who was once again let go by Mallorca, and felt a little funny, and looked at the midfielder, everything was silent.

Alonso, who won the ball again, readjusted his angle and before the Mallorca players could react, it was a powerful long-range shot, the ball smashed on the post and bounced back into the box, but it was not Ronaldo or Higuain who had just besieged him, but Benzema who picked up the leak.

Seeing that Benzema scored with an easy push and was ruled that the goal was valid, Mourinho's heart that had been hanging was more or less relaxed. He looked at the vice-captain of the strikers who came straight from the midfield to the group to celebrate, and felt a little funny, the kid had a big temper.

But in any case, Real Madrid also won a game with a one-goal lead, and Benzema successfully topped the scorer list with this goal. Cristiano Ronaldo and Higuain, who had been besieging for a long time, were a little uncomfortable, and they didn't understand why they let Karim's kid pick up a leak in the end.

The dressing room was quite harmonious, after all, it was also a 90-minute victory, substitute Forlan cleaned up quickly, and most of the people were still laughing in the shower when they came out of the shower. Fran walked to his place while rubbing his hair with a towel, passing by Gago, who was still in a low mood, and what he wanted to say this time he couldn't control his mouth, "Pintita... I remember you told us that it meant flower work, right?"

Gago nodded, and saw Forlan stop wiping his hair, and the coach of Boca Juniors, Bicapello, and Bipellegrini said it bluntly:

"So Pintita, have you ever thought that the object of your emulation should not be Redondo, but Riquelme?"

It was then that Gago's understanding of why he suddenly stopped calling himself 'Fernando'.

The author has something to say: Steel needle, Gago's physical fitness is not a little worse than Dong Ge's, Dong Ge just doesn't look strong, but in fact, his body is stronger than anyone else.

In fact, he is a very spiritual playmaker, picking and passing long passes is very good, but the defense... It's not like you can defend well if you want to.

However, the goose family is not happy to have to move in front of the opponent's penalty area like a forward midfielder, and he likes to fall gracefully in the middle and back.

So I didn't really understand that Boca Juniors, the same Pellegrinier, the same flowing technical dribbling, and of course the same power and speed were not outstanding...

Why did you recognize Redondo and identify the midfielder, you should have learned from Riquelme to play the midfielder.

But that's all my personal opinion... I'm still struggling with whether or not to let Gago change.

After all, to be honest, if he is willing to play like Redondo, then the enjoyment is probably the way of playing in the midfield, everyone has their own insistence. Otherwise, he would have changed his mind when he was at Boca Juniors...

However, Maradona praised him as 'Redondo's successor'... I deeply thought that this guy was at odds with Riquelme

Side story: When Fran retires

Forlan was holding the physical training book of the Manchester United players, and while recording and pushing the flat glasses that he was not used to, Rooney was joking in front of him, "Fran, why do you still wear glasses, do you think you can be serious with glasses?"

Fran didn't raise his eyes, and said slowly, "Wayne, are you fat again?"

Rooney remembered that this guy was a man who couldn't pay for his life in the national team, and the Manchester United friends collectively watched the assistant coach open the captain, which can basically be regarded as Juan Mata, who was watched by Forlan from the academy to play football, stand straight.

When the team broke up, Ibrahimovic approached Forlan and looked around his glasses and casually asked, "Do you have a backline that you can see for a long time?"

Forlan was not guilty, "It's not!" Ibrahimovic felt that this Real Madrid celebrity said that his face was really big, as far as Real Madrid's porous defense line and Manchester United didn't dislike anyone, what he brought was not a flat glass, it was a unique fan filter of Real Madrid, right?

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has recently added a new mantra, "You play worse defensively than an assistant manager." Forlan didn't care that Mourinho had set himself in front of the players, but he didn't expect Mourinho to say the same to the referee.

"He's faking a fall! The Manchester City striker is faking a fall! How can a penalty be awarded! My player's sliding tackle is taught by this guy who can't foul the least," Mourinho crackled Forlan's back in front of the fourth referee, and kept emphasizing, "He's faking a fall, do you know what a fake fall is?" Guardiola on the other side kept smiling and watched Mourinho dying.

Forlan felt it was time for him to come on and cut straight between Mourinho and the fourth referee and fell next to them. Mourinho was stunned for a moment, then instantly reacted and pointed at Fran, "This is a fake fall!

However, regardless of whether the fourth referee understands it or not, the referee gave each of them a yellow card... 166 Reading Network
