Cristiano soon ran out of time to think about Kaka or Macaron, this muscle tear was not a minor injury that was innocuous in the first place, not to mention, at Mourinho's request, he also played with a closed belt injury twice in a row.
Even Mendes has expressed his unmistaken displeasure with Mourinho on more than one occasion, even saying: "Jose, if I didn't know, I would even think that you and Cristiano are not the same agent, but players and coaches who belong to two sworn enemies - you can't use him like that." It's not just for your own second half of the season, it's for the good of all of us. I can't find a second Cristiano, and so are you. β
But it was clear that the words did not work for Mourinho, and he simply ignored it.
"Mr. Coach, I'd love to play, but ......," Cristiano asked a similar question with a frown after training, "and my injury does make me very uncomfortable. My left leg is even swollen now. β
Cassie didn't want to do much, but looking at Mourinho's expression, he also knew that Cristiano stepped on the thunder, so even if it was just for world peace, Cassie had to stand up and take the initiative to block, "The Champions League and the Madrid derby are very important games, and since we have already played, there is no need to discuss them." But next up for Sporting GijΓ³n and Tottenham in the Champions League, I think it's time to make a choice. β
"And then? And then we're going to have no one to use again! Mourinho, who had been irritable for the past two days, finally couldn't bear it anymore, he turned his head to the team doctor who examined Cristiano and yelled: "If you can do better, I don't have to face this embarrassing situation." β
Cassie looked sympathetically at the two poor team doctors, but didn't speak for them. He just crouched down and looked at Cristiano's leg and asked him a little worriedly how he felt.
"We are also sorry. But in any case, Cristiano shouldn't play anymore, it's too dangerous. If the wound is opened for the third time, he is likely to be reimbursed directly for the season. A team doctor said tremblingly.
Obviously, this answer only angered Mourinho even more, "It's a pity? Why do I need a doctor if I'm just waiting for that word? I would just look for someone on the street and they would say 'sorry'! Oh, maybe they could have said it a little better! β
You are for the peace of the world and the survival of humanity, Ikar, our good captain, go on, and defeat the fire-breathing dragon.
When Cassie turned his head to look at his teammates, he was saddened to find that every one of them had this line written on their faces - including Cristiano.
"You know, I think Mr. Mourinho's relationship has not been very stable recently, so I ......" Gu Bei once said to Cassie with pity when he followed Mendes to leave Madrid for Barcelona, "If something really happens, you just need to protect Cristiano, then even if you beat Mr. Manager, I can deal with it in front of the media - as long as you ......"
Protect Cristiano.
yes, yes, that's your eyeball. Cassie thought to herself. So, I'm the only one who doesn't want an unlucky kid?
But this has come to ......
"Mr. Manager, I don't think anyone wants that to happen." Cassie plucked up his courage and headed towards the center of the flames, "But since things have come to this point, I think the best thing we can do is to stop the loss." I don't think Cristiano is a good fit to play. Maybe it would be better to give him a little time to heal his injured leg and then concentrate on playing in the Champions League. β
"If you pay attention," Mourinho said with a cold face, "we are very close to Barcelona on points - allow me to say that, they are even infinitely close. We have a very good chance of winning a league title now and at a time like this it's absolutely unrealistic to wait for the opponent to make a mistake and the only thing we can do is to score more goals and take the three points every game. Based on this consensus, please sue me, Ikar, sue me, what does it mean not to let Cristiano play? β
It means that you are making mistakes on your own initiative, giving your opponent a chance to draw or even beat you, and then giving Barcelona a chance to extend their lead.
"Ikar, as the captain of Real Madrid, do you still need me to explain to you the importance of this matter?" Mourinho didn't continue to lash out, but the oppressive power in his words was self-evident.
Cassie was a little embarrassed by this, after all, it seems that Mourinho is unwilling to let Real Madrid take the three points safely, "but the situation is like this, we always have to make a trade-off." Moreover, I believe that the difficulties will pass, and we can achieve our goals through everyone's efforts. β
"Huh." Mourinho said dryly, "It sounds like the difficulties will disappear as soon as we touch the skin of our mouths." β
"Of course it won't be difficult, but we'll always have a way." Cristiano may not have felt that it was kind enough to let Cassie fight alone, so he resolutely spoke up to help, "There are always more solutions than problems, don't they?" β
"I appreciate your optimism, Cristiano," Mourinho indiscriminately unleashed his mouth cannon skill points, "but what can you do?" Do you want to say to me, 'Let Kaka try, sir'?" No, don't tell me that. β
Although everyone hoped that they could hold back, to be honest, most people still subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of Kaka.
Cristiano may have thought so, but he didn't think about it openly, let alone make it the way it is. So not surprisingly, Cristiano also became annoyed, "Sir, I never wanted to interfere with your employment. But I don't think you should blame Kaka so much either, it's not fair to him! He worked very hard! β
"I accuse him? I'm just stating a fait accompli! Mourinho almost burst into a rage, "If you noticed a number jΓΉ, you wouldn't be talking to me like that!" Do you know how low your goal percentage is when you're both on the pitch at the same time? You two don't fit in at all! β
Kaka's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something for himself, but in the end he didn't say anything. Because perhaps he himself knows that Mourinho is just describing a fact.
Counting jΓΉ doesn't lie.
The others also felt the awkward atmosphere of further escalation at this time, and they exchanged glances with their teammates who were on good terms, and silently lowered their heads to tidy up their things, not intending to get involved in the argument of the 'Big Three'.
Cristiano was about to speak, but Cassie grabbed him. Cassie whispered, "Please, Cristiano, don't talk, let me come." β
Cristiano looked at Cassie, and he obviously remembered Gu Bei's instructions, "Listen to Cassie, he may be the only adult in your locker room." β
"Sir, on the issue of the squad and the starting 11, I think you and the coaching staff will have a final decision." Cassie licked her lips, saddened by the overall mental age of this locker room, "But I guess Cristiano is also just hoping to comfort you." After all, we're not in that bad shape. Maybe...... Maybe with a break for a game, Cristiano will be able to recover. You know, he's been almost full-time this season, and it's really tiring. β
In the third-line battle, as well as the national team competition, even if it is a real machine, it is time to lose the power - not to mention that Cristiano is still a big man.
"If he could have cared less about other people's affairs, maybe he wouldn't be so tired." Mourinho said harshly, "Seriously, Cristiano, do you think I don't know the story of your 'heart-to-heart' conversation with Kaka in private? β
Cristiano also seems to have finally reached a point where he can't bear it anymore, "So what did I do wrong?" Isn't it what we should do to encourage our teammates? Do you want me to be indifferent to all qiΔ and just be a goal shooter who shoots on the field? β
Cassie has neither supported Mourinho nor supported Cristiano.
In fact, he is also very ambivalent about this.
On the one hand, he knew that Cristiano was well-intentioned and did it without problems. Cristiano is right, they are teammates, it is their kindness to help their teammates, but also for the harmony and unity of the dressing room. This is what a leader should do.
But on the other hand, he also understands what Mourinho means - Cristiano is wasting time, Kaka has too many problems and is too difficult to solve, Cristiano as Real Madrid's number one superstar, the most important thing he should do is to do his own thing and plan his life. As for that, he could have left it to the coaching staff instead of delaying it like that.
"No, you didn't do anything wrong." However, Mourinho's answer left everyone confused.
He quickly explained his words, "It's Ann who is wrong." Ann is too indulgent to you, in her heart you will always be perfect and kind, you will not make mistakes, even if you are wrong, it is entirely because others did wrong first. She thinks she's defending your kindness, but she's just doting. That's why I say you didn't do anything wrong, it's her who is wrong. β
"No, sir, you are wrong. Ann can never be wrong," Cristiano refused, "and even if there was a mistake, it must have been because I made it first." You can accuse me, but you must not accuse her! β
