148 chapter 148
Starting with the victory in the national derby, it seems that everything is going in a good direction for Real Madrid. A 2-0 win over Celta Vigo in the league, a narrow one-goal win away to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League group stage, a big win away to Mallorca in the league and a 4-0 win at home to Zaragoza. At the same time, the Copa del Rey is progressing victoriously, as if they are two very different teams from the team at the beginning of the season.
In the twelfth round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Levante away, and this round of games also provided people with laughter. When defending Levante's long-distance set-pieces, in order to prevent Levante from thinking about the side to cooperate, Marcelo arranged for Ozil to stand alone in a more remote position. Ozil looked very cooperative at first with Marcelo's arm, but the Germans didn't seem to expect that Marcelo was going to leave him here alone, and he dragged Marcelo alive and didn't let him go.
This set-piece, which is not in a good position, did not usher in much attention from Real Madrid, and when Forlan saw that even the manager began to pay attention to the two people pulling and pulling on the side, he sighed in his heart, Marcelo, you can't stand there with him?
However, Ozil, who has always been clever and has a big picture view, does not seem to have the intention of getting Forlan, and when he saw that Marcelo was going to run to more teammates = safer, he immediately ran in that direction. After running a few steps to get rid of the fear of set-pieces, he realized that Forlan was probably going to accompany him to defend the wing, scratched his face and ran towards Forlan with his head down.
Fran raised his face with a dark face and slapped Ozil on the back, "You let me go!" Ozil simply hooked Fran's arm and shook his head desperately, "I'll line up the wall with you, I won't go, I won't go." ”
The referee saw that Levante was ready to serve, and signaled to start. I don't know if there are too many scenes between Fran and Ozil on the side, Levante's striker deliberately glanced at them a few times before re-aiming at the football, and when he got up and drove out, he really rushed straight to Fran's human wall position, Ozil wanted to hide behind Fran when he saw the football coming, but Fran raised his hand and pressed it the top of his head, and the football flew past the back of Fran's hand and smashed straight into the billboard outside the field.
Forlan looked at his waistcoat that had been rubbed with a layer of oily skin, and felt that Ozil, who had been defended by set-pieces around him, was even more frightened. Seriously, even if you hide by yourself, it seems that you will be smashed to the top of your chest, if it weren't for Fran by her side, she would really be smashed now.
Ozil unconsciously tightly wrapped his arms around Forlan, and Forlan saw that Real Madrid was about to re-serve, so he patted Ozil's head as a reassuring gesture, "Forget it, next time, I'll arrange you directly in the pile." "No, no, no, I'll stand with you next time. With that, Mesut Ozil ran back into midfield to get involved in organising the attack.
But the crux of the matter is that under normal circumstances, I am the main force of the team's anti-set-piece work, and the direction I am standing must be in a position where the football is very likely to fly, you little fool.
Fran looked at Ozil as he ran away, and sighed helplessly.
However, the good situation on the surface cannot change the heart of the outside world who wants to use Real Madrid to hype up big news. When the media broke the news, Mourinho publicly accused Cassie within the club, believing that he had leaked the inside information of the team to the media. "The team's deep throat is Iker Casillas", this phrase has appeared not only in the mouth of Mourinho, but also in the mouths of some Real Madrid staff. 】
The news that was exposed like this was what Mourinho once told himself, so that Forlan had to believe that someone in the team was really revealing the news in the dressing room to the outside world. He didn't know how many people Mourinho would react to, but at least it wasn't revealed by Forlan himself.
"Did you originally envision that Real Madrid might regain the glory of the treble in five years at this opportunity?" Forlan looked at Alonso, who was different from Ramos, who was clearly on the side of Casillas, who had always been close to Jose Mourinho within the team, even if he was one of Spain's main players. Fran was silent for a few seconds and sighed silently, "I dreamed." ”
I had a dream that this young army would be able to rebuild the dynasty.
"Why are you asking this?" Forlan changed his clothes, and saw that Benzema was glancing at them undetected, and after being caught, he was very thick-skinned and winked at him like no one else, Fran patted Alonso on the shoulder and signaled that he was ready to go out, and gave Benzema a roll of the eye by the way.
"Actually, you also understand that Jose has already won the Champions League and the league at Real Madrid, and he and Igor are in such a stiff state this season that he will definitely leave if he doesn't get it. Alonso licked his dry lips, "The reason for this is probably because in the Champions League group stage away to Manchester City, Igor was 'injured' and was not included in the Manchester squad. ”
The corners of Fran's mouth moved slightly, and he finally couldn't help but ask Alonso where such detailed information came from. However, it is clear that this is not just Mourinho's personal decision, but may also be the intention of the higher-ups.
But can we not do this kind of thing when the team's condition is slightly improving? Damn, are they all undercover agents sent by other families? At this time, let Igor stop the Champions League group stage and let Adan play? Now that Mourinho has arranged for the Copa del Rey to be played by Adan, is it not enough? The Champions League will also be handed over to Adan?
But no matter how much Forlan questioned the news, the news of Casillas' injury in training the next day was revealed. The official answer is that although it is not a big problem, the medical team does not recommend that Casillas rush to Manchester to prepare for the Champions League group stage.
In a 1-1 draw with Manchester City in the Champions League group stage, Adan performed without fault throughout the game, and people were quite acceptable to this sudden arrangement. There are also many people who speculate whether Casillas was temporarily replaced because of the escalation of the war in the Real Madrid dressing room, Real Madrid did not give an answer, but Casillas was placed on the bench when he faced Real Betis at home in the thirteenth round of La Liga, and Adan still started.
If it was a win, maybe people wouldn't react much. But when Real Madrid saw that their form was picking up and had to suffer another defeat, Mourinho's tactical arrangements became proof of his short-sightedness and focus on personal grievances.
In the face of media criticism after the game, Mourinho's answer was extremely reasonable, "At this time, my coaching staff and I agreed that Adan is better than Cassie. You media can come up with a myriad of theories, but Cassie playing as a substitute is just a purely tactical choice. ”
The reason he gave was that "Cassie has experienced a decline in competitive form after a long period of absence of competitive pressure". The Portuguese believes that this is a wake-up rotation Cassie and should be understood, while Casillas, who was caught interviewing on the sidelines, also said that he "will be more diligent to gain the trust of the coach", which has been interpreted by the media as a relent.
The captain on the field was naturally Fran in Casillas' absence, and he was also present at the press conference. Forlan's sluggish state can be clearly seen under the lens of reporters, although some people still sympathize with the Real Madrid vice-captain, but there are still people who want to cover the big news, "What do you think about Casillas being put on the bench for this game?"
It's a malicious question, given the notoriously important use of his head coach on the one hand, and a friend of 20 years on the other. Fran looked at the eager reporters in front of him, as if he saw a fierce beast with grinning teeth and waiting to split the flesh, and he was silent for three seconds before giving only a seemingly inconsequential answer, "We are eight points away from Barcelona." ”
Mourinho seemed to be taken aback by Forlan's answer, and many people, including him, knew that Forlan had his own way of avoiding reporters and was invincible. The questions from the reporters were difficult, but Mourinho believed Forlan would still be free, but no one expected him to say it.
What does 'we are eight points away from Barcelona' mean? The reporters who got this answer seemed to have a common association, does it mean that Mourinho or Casillas, he doesn't care about the competition between the two of them, but at least to ensure that Real Madrid does not lose?
Arnold Theodore was frightened into a cold sweat by Forlan's answer, didn't he know that this was almost offending Casillas and slapping Mourinho in the face?
The organizers above also seemed to be afraid that their deputy captain would be stubborn and dare to say anything, so he hurriedly came forward to say that this press conference would end here. Mourinho and Forlan walked towards the dressing room, Mourinho walked in front, Forlan fell behind him, and the Portuguese slowly stopped in the empty hallway, "You seem to have something to say to me?"
Forlan was staring down at the road under his feet, but he exhaled when he heard Mourinho's words, "Jose, seriously, you're a bit of an inflated ego. ”
Anyone who says this to Mourinho seems to have countless reasons to be angry, but the coach, who seems to be unquestionable, does not. He seemed to ponder Forlan's reasons for his 'self-aggrandizement', "You supported me last season when neither Ramos nor Cassie were very supportive of the tactics I had arranged. ”
"Last season's tactical set-up was really controversial and Sergio and Igor felt that it made the game ugly and not in line with Real Madrid's usual style, and I agree. Forlan had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and there was no doubt that the sudden change in the team's style had caused a lot of controversy in the outside world, with good and bad reviews, "but I know that you are focusing on winning and losing in this arrangement, and I also value winning and losing more than sticking to style, so I support you." ”
"Don't you think that now?" Mourinho looked at Forlan with an extraordinarily gentle attitude, so gentle that Forlan felt that if he got along with Casillas in this way, he would be fine. 'You've been successful in Porto, at Chelsea, at Inter Milan and I agree with you a lot of things, but the tension between a player and a manager is that when you need to assert your manager's authority, it's about winning and losing. ”
"We had a great scene, I told you, Igor, a lot of people, maybe some people think I'm a little nervous. Forlan smiled and shook his head, the smile was hard to describe, but Mourinho felt that he probably couldn't forget it. knew that this was not the curvature of the corners of his mouth that he forced himself to prop up, but he looked even more sad because of it.
He had been following Fran since he was twenty-three years old, when he was a young man who grew up in a simple environment and did not hit the south wall and did not look back, but now he could no longer regard the man in front of him as a child who was 'gifted and needed to be cared for'. But Mourinho thinks it would be nice if he kept that pretending to be confused.
Forlan remembered that he pulled Redondo's sleeve in the stands and cried bitterly because Real Madrid missed the league championship, remembered the sneering of Real Madrid in the season when the four major teams were empty, remembered the academy that Calderon was forced to cut back due to poor results, remembered the teammates who came with a halo but finally returned, remembered Guti who said 'I really can't imagine that there is no Real Madrid', and Raul, who said with a smile and said 'I see the light' even though he was eliminated in the Champions League final, and thought that he saw the bright future of Real Madrid.
He was twenty-three to thirty years old, the best age for a player, always up and down, always waiting.
"I've been waiting for eight years for what should have been a good situation. ”
however
However.
The author has something to say: Fran is in... A state that was annoyed by Cassie and Mourinho.
In his opinion, I can endure just tossing, but tossing to the point of ignoring the results, hum hum then allow me to blow up.
Mourinho's diehards, it should be Tofu Arbeloa and Alonso...
On Cassie's side, it is Ramos, Pepe, and some also say that there is Ronaldo
I can put forward a different opinion on what I wrote, mainly because I can only speculate on this paragraph from the reports and results I have seen, and there must be a lot of questions. Welcome to discuss.
And I have to repeat, hey, I said that I would retire Fran Real Madrid, so don't be in a hurry~
