Chapter 362: Strife in the Real Madrid dressing room
The person who detonated this wave of infighting in Real Madrid was Sergio Ramos.
The reason for the incident starts with the second leg of the Super Cup, the post-match clash between Real Madrid and Barcelona, on that day Mourinho behaved toughly, and personally went into battle and poked Barcelona assistant coach Vilanova in the eye with his finger.
Afterwards, in the dressing room of Real Madrid, Mourinho asked the whole team to be tough on Barcelona, and he must not be soft in terms of action and attitude. But Mourinho overlooked the fact that Real Madrid's manager is just a manager, not a 'manager' who oversees the club's sporting work as Chelsea and the Premier League.
In Spain, the manager doesn't have as much power as the Premier League, and it's not naturally intimidating to the players. Although Lafayette is very supportive of Mourinho, calling him the best coach of the day, this support is not the same as Mouratti's support at Inter in previous years.
Moratti is the owner of the club with the power of life and death, and Florentino is only the chairman elected by the members, and there is a difference in authority.
The Real Madrid dressing room itself has a tradition of cliques and factions, and from time to time there will be a good show against the manager, so the paternalistic behavior banned by Mourinho has made the Spanish gang very unhappy.
But at the beginning, the Spanish gang did not embarrass Mourinho, they just did not jump out and criticize the Barcelona players for faking and acting on the field like the Mendes gang (Portugal gang), and the Spanish gang led by Cassie and Ramos remained silent.
Ten days ago, the team went to Croatia to play the first group game of the Champions League, and Zhuo Yang went to Zurich to negotiate and did not participate. Dinamo Zagreb is not a good guy and Real Madrid are playing hard. At half-time, Mourinho asked everyone to put more pressure on Norwegian referee Moen in the second half to cause psychological pressure on the referee.
But Ramos is disgusted with this approach, and he has always believed that winning is to beat the opponent in a dignified football way, and there can be small tricks, but not the end. Coupled with the accumulated discontent, Ramos prevented his teammates from deliberately putting pressure on the referee in the second half.
Only Di Maria, the descendant of Mu Shuai's Mendes Gang, implemented the 'pressure' strategy from beginning to end, and the sycophant Cello followed the gang but failed to grasp the heat, and was punished by two yellows and one red.
Although they won the game 1-0, the angry Mourinho harshly criticized Ramos for his disobedience in the dressing room after the game, which also annoyed the Spaniards.
The next day, Marca newspaper published an interview with Ramos, in which he did not say anything directly, but talked about the previous rivalry with Barcelona's Puyol and Xavi during the international break for the national team.
The media are all smart people, thinking of Mourinho's 'tough order' against Barcelona, Ramos's move is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Mourinho, so he made a big fuss about it.
Next, Mourinho put one of the vice-captains, Ramos, on the bench for three league games. However, this move drew strong displeasure from Casillas, who and Ramos are the top two men in the Spanish gang in the Real Madrid dressing room.
According to Marca, Cassie said that during the national team training camp, he had lunch with Puyol, Xavi and Valdés and had a good conversation.
Jose Mourinho was quick to respond, telling the newspaper As: "No one at Real Madrid is a natural workhorse, and Casillas is no exception.
It was these bullshit things that showed the infighting between Mu Shuai and the Spanish gang in front of the eyes of the world. The three major gangs in the Real Madrid dressing room, the Spanish gang and Mourinho have a confrontation, and the Mendes gang is Mourinho's henchmen and will inevitably support him.
Now everyone has set their sights on the crucial third-party international gang, also known as the Zhuoyang Gang. Everyone was waiting for Zhuo Yang's attitude.
Zhuo Yang didn't have an attitude, or he wasn't in a hurry to show it.
Zhuo Yang knew very well from the moment he came to Real Madrid that the Spanish gang had a large number of people and occupied the home field, so they must be the most powerful. And their feud with Mourinho began when Mourinho cooperated with Lafayette to get rid of Raul and Guti.
Cassie and Ramos are supported by heavyweights or senior members behind them, and those people Lafayette does not dare to offend easily. For example, Bosque, Domingo and Nadal, as well as Bravo (16331), Barrero (13447), Buitron (54005) and Cabot (35166), all of whom criticized Mourinho and expressed their support for Cassie and Ramos at the previous day's general meeting.
They open their mouths to speak, and even if it doesn't sound good, Lafayette has to accompany the smiling face.
Although the Mendes gang is small in number, they also have Mourinho behind them, and it seems that only Zhuo Yang's international gang is the slightest. But Zhuo Yang's gang has an advantage that the other two gangs can't match, because they are monolithic and very united internally.
Therefore, the Spanish power in the Real Madrid dressing room is superior, but it is not a monopoly, the Mendes gang and the international gang are relatively weak, but they cannot be ignored, especially the international gang, whose identity is transcendent, and their tendency determines the strength of the dressing room.
When he went to Barcelona two years ago, Zhuo Yang invited almost everyone in the team to eat in a short period of time, but when he came to Real Madrid two years later, Zhuo Yang did not invite anyone to eat except for a few brothers around him.
Because, in his capacity, there is no need to do it again. It's okay to pull the relationship, you take the initiative to invite me.
Except for the little ones who can't get their hands on it, it has been almost two months since they came to Real Madrid, and among the heavyweight players, Cassie, Carvalho, Alonso Pepe and others have already entertained Zhuo Yang on behalf of their respective camps.
Regarding Mu Shuai's 'Barcelona tough order' Zhuo Yang to adopt a cold treatment strategy of not resisting and not supporting, in an interview with the media, he said: I didn't participate in that game and don't understand the situation.
Regarding the contradiction between the Spanish gang and Mu Shuai, Zhuo Yang led the international gang to stay out of the matter, impartial and silent. It's not that Zhuo Yang is afraid of things, he is afraid of causing a commotion, and he has to learn to swim when he comes to this river and lake.
Zhuo Yang is waiting, selling for the international help.
Sure enough, he waited for an olive branch that he took the initiative to reach.
In the shower after training, Zhuo Yang was smearing the foam all over his body, and Ramos, who had been flushed clean, drilled over.
"Zhuo Yang, I'm running out of antiperspirant lotion, borrow your envoy."
Deodorant, also known as deodorant, is the most commonly used thing by Western men every day, and applying it two baths and four times a day can help them hide the natural smell of fox.
"Sergio, you're stupid, aren't you?" Zhuo Yang smiled and said, "You forgot that Lao Tzu is Chinese, so you don't need that thing at all." ”
Ramos was stunned, the water still dripping.
"You Chinese don't use it? It's incredible, so how do you hide your body odor? ”
"Stupid, ahahaha, our Chinese are little sweat glands, and we are not born with such an intoxicating body odor as yours, ahahaha......"
