Real Madrid had an in-house dinner.

Most of them had smiles on their faces, and they congratulated Zhen Shaolong from the bottom of their hearts on taking the position of vice captain.

Florentino showed up in the middle of the dinner, he came with a reporter from the "Marca" newspaper, and talked with Zhen Shaolong for a few words, and asked Zhen Shaolong to talk about his feelings about being the vice captain.

Zhen Shaolong felt helpless.

He generally does not accept interviews with media reporters, especially in private occasions, when "Privilege" is not activated, he does not want to accept any interviews, but the chairman can't help but give face, he still said a few simple words-

"I'm ...... Well, the first thing I thought about was, don't let me do extra work. ”

"Is it because of language communication problems?"

The journalist asked.

Zhen Shaolong gave the reporter a 'you are very smart, understand what I mean', and suddenly understood what to say, "Captain, is the role model of the whole team, to assist the coaching staff, to lead by example to complete the training, to set an example on the field...... There are a lot of things to be responsible for......"

Zhen Shaolong said a lot in a row, all about what the captain of the team was going to do, and the reporter immediately 'understood' what he meant, and it should have been, "I will try to do these things well in the future." ”

In fact, Zhen Shaolong just expressed it, and didn't say that he would do it at all.

He really doesn't want to be a vice-captain!

Everyone else doesn't see it that way, they think that Zhen Shaolong will definitely do it in the future if he says it.

Of course.

Among them, there are also people with doubts, such as C-Ronaldo, who knows Zhen Shaolong, C-Ronaldo has always regarded Zhen Shaolong as an opponent, and he is not in the mood to compete anymore recently, and he also hopes to create brilliance with Zhen Shaolong, he thinks he has a certain understanding of Zhen Shaolong, and when he heard Zhen Shaolong say a lot of things, he couldn't help but think suspiciously, "This guy ...... Will you do this in the future? ”

"Be a role model for training? Just him? ”

"It's hard to believe on the field, but to be a conductor? What command can he do? Let someone else pass the ball? ”

"And ...... Helping with training, warm-ups? It's really fake, it's good that he can train normally on his own. A guy who can fall asleep in a tactics class......"

C-Ronaldo pressed his hand to his head, no matter how he thought about it, he felt unreliable.

When Zhen Shaolong was surrounded by a large group of teammates and was interviewed by reporters, the former vice-captain of Real Madrid, Guti, was alone in the corner.

During the entire meeting, Guti did not say a few words.

He was depressed.

When Raul took the initiative to give up the captain's position, Guti also went over to persuade a few words, he never thought that in the end, Zhen Shaolong would become the vice captain, a team can have several vice captains, but the vice captain can be regarded as a 'temporary captain', the captain is not on the field during the game, the vice captain will automatically become the captain on the field, so there will only be one recognized vice captain.

When Zhen Shaolong becomes the vice captain, his 'recognized vice captain status' is equal to nothing, and when Raul is not on the field in the future, Zhen Shaolong will become the captain on the field, and he ...... The captain can only be ranked third.

"Alas......"

Guti let out a long sigh.

The most depressing thing is not that Zhen Shaolong has become the vice captain, but that no one has come to ask his opinion, even his good friend Raul, "Probably Raul thinks that I should think the same as him and don't care about the vice captain position?" ”

"Of course, I don't ......"

"Well, even if I don't care, why ask my opinion! Why is everyone the same, I gave up the vice captain to Zhen Shaolong, and I still feel very happy and happy? ”

Guti didn't like it no matter how he thought about it.

Raul walked over and sat down next to Guti, "José (Guti), how does it feel to take off the burden of captainship?" I really envy you, in fact, I didn't want to be a captain for a long time. ”

"Why?" Guti didn't understand.

"Because of the performance. If I can still do the same as last year, I would have no problem being the captain, but I don't even have the opportunity to play, and being the captain again is a burden, the burden of the position, the burden of public opinion. ”

Raul said with a sigh.

Guti patted Raul's shoulder and comforted him with feeling, "Don't worry, Raul, it will slowly get better!" ”

Raul shook his head and continued the topic just now, "That's why I said, no performance, it's a burden to continue to be the captain, you have less playing time than me, and it will be a burden to continue to be the captain." ”

Raul had a 'I helped you' look.

Guti opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and when Raul got up to leave, his expression still didn't change, and it took a long time before he yelled depressedly, "Are you sure you're here to comfort me?" ”

"Not sarcastic about me?"

Ramos and Arbeloa turned their heads in confusion at the sound of voices.

Guti didn't continue to pretend to be fine, and found that Raul was far away from hearing it, so he smashed the table depressedly and shouted angrily, "It's okay!" ”

Two days later.

Real Madrid had an embarrassing but important match, with the Copa del Rey at home to Alcorcon.

Real Madrid suffered a humiliating defeat at Real Madrid last time, losing by four goals to a third-tier side, which has not happened in a century's history, and setting a new historical record seems to be worth celebrating, but it would be embarrassing to become a humiliating record.

Now they have a chance to reverse it.

Because the last game was a humiliating defeat, Real Madrid attached great importance to the game before the game, and Pellegrini announced with certainty early that "Real Madrid will send the strongest lineup", and the strongest lineup will of course have Zhen Shaolong.

So some embarrassing games still ushered in a large number of fans to support, the Bernabeu Stadium was overcrowded early, and a large number of Real Madrid fans integrated in, all hoping to see Real Madrid create a miracle.

Yes, miracles.

Even if the opponent is only a third-division team, it is not easy to create a miracle of a four-goal reversal, because the opponent is already four goals ahead, and can be patient to defend seriously, without paying attention to the attack at all, and will be very motivated, on the contrary, Real Madrid will be very passive, they have to continue to attack, to have a chance to catch up with four goals in 90 minutes.

This is too difficult!

In fact, the C-League team is not as weak as imagined, the players of the C-League team can only be regarded as just touching the side of professional players, but how is it also the third-level league, you can fight with the youth team of the giants or even the reserve team, and the ordinary players of the youth team and the reserve team of the giants, the ability and experience may not be as good as the players of the C-League League.

There is a huge gap between the overall quality of a team like Alcorcón and the top league, but if they want to focus on defense, no team can say that they will win 100 per cent.

This game is a challenge.

When the game started, Real Madrid were faced with an 'analysed situation', with Alcorcon focusing on the defense, with most of the players piled up around the box and kept the goal airtight.

Manuel Pellegrini fielded the strongest line-up, with Zhen Shaolong and Raul in the attack, Raul helped Real Madrid score a goal in the last league game, breaking his personal goal drought in La Liga, and the coaching staff hopes that he can perform better.

The end result is disappointment.

Raul was indeed one of the hardest working players, but he failed to take a single chance in front of goal or outside the box, and he did not score for Real Madrid in the full 90 minutes.

Kaka was brilliant and solid in attack, and in the 31st minute, he scored Real Madrid's second goal of the game with a sudden shot from the outside.

Zhen Shaolong's performance continued to be stable and excellent, scoring one goal each for Real Madrid in the first and second halves, especially in the second half, the goal of two people in the penalty area pushed the near corner, which pushed the game to a peak.

Pity.

That was also the last goal.

In the end, Real Madrid won the match 3-0, but because they lost four goals in the first round, they were unfortunately eliminated by Alcorcón and had to withdraw from the Copa del Rey.

After the game.

The emperor didn't want to talk anymore.

Pellegrini is the head coach of Real Madrid, he had to be interviewed head-on, and only praised Zhen Shaolong's performance, talking about the elimination of the Copa del Rey, he can only admit calmly, "We were too careless in the first round." ”

"There are a lot of mistakes that can't be remedied, and that's a lesson for us. I believe that everyone in the team will write it down and will not make the same mistakes in the future. Then we can focus on the league and the Champions League ......"

Next up is indeed the Champions League.

The fourth round of the Champions League group stage is coming quickly, Real Madrid hosts AC Milan, and the continuous games make Real Madrid a little tired, Pellegrini regretted sending all the main forces before, and they had to rotate some players, such as C-Ronaldo, Diarra and other players, all of whom played the whole game in a row, and their physical condition was obviously a little unable to keep up, even Zhen Shaolong felt a little tired.

But, no way!

In the end, Pellegrini still let Diarra play, the midfield partner became Xavi Alonso, the forward line let Higuain and Raul partner, C-Ronaldo was rested, and the right side was replaced by Gago, but Zhen Shaolong still entered the squad, Pellegrini did not consider what experience the team, but the physical fitness of the players really could not keep up, and injuries began to appear gradually.

Fortunately, Real Madrid is playing at home, and the enthusiasm of the players is still very high.

This game once again attracted a lot of attention, but the media and fans did not pay attention to Real Madrid, but AC Milan, AC Milan's group stage results were not very good, and the situation of qualifying for Real Madrid would become very critical if they lost to Real Madrid, for them, they must play well in the fourth round.

The good news for AC Milan is that Zhen Shaolong did not start, C-Ronaldo and Kaka did not make it to the squad, and the three superstars of Real Madrid rested as a whole, which made them feel very relaxed.

AC Milan's defense didn't need to face too much pressure, and the game was relatively easy.

AC Milan's attacking problems are huge, their goal scoring is a big problem, even if they suppress Real Madrid for a while, it is still difficult to get good chances in front of goal, the magical Pato is no longer magical, and the penalty area has been defended for a long time and cannot find opportunities.

AC Milan still have to rely on Andrea Pirlo.

In the 44th minute, Pirlo once again took advantage of a set-piece opportunity and curled a shot straight into the bottom corner to help AC Milan break through the door guarded by Casillas.

"Pirlo! Pirlo! ”

'Andrea Pirlo gave AC Milan the lead, the late goal in the first half was so crucial that it would give AC Milan a good mentality, and taking the lead meant it was easier to play in the second half......

Pellegrini let out a long sigh.

Although Real Madrid won three games in a row in the group stage, he would never want to lose at home to AC Milan, who had just experienced the embarrassment of being eliminated from the Copa del Rey, and would definitely like to play a victory, especially against AC Milan, another giant in the group, and the victory would also boost the morale of the whole team.

Now what?

Pellegrini immediately thought of Zhen Shaolong.

Many people also had the same reaction, such as Real Madrid players, who all thought of Zhen Shaolong and hoped that Zhen Shaolong would come off the bench.

This is especially true for Real Madrid fans.

When AC Milan took the lead, even though they knew that the first half was about to end, the surrounding stands still resounded with the shouts of fans, who shouted Zhen Shaolong's name, hoping that Zhen Shaolong could be replaced on the field.

Pellegrini covered his head helplessly, of course he knew the feelings of the players and fans, and even he would think of Zhen Shaolong for the first time, instead of making any tactical adjustments.

"This should be called dependency, right?"

"The entire Imperial Horse got off and became dependent on Zhen Shaolong......

Of course, Pellegrini knows that this is not good, not to mention whether Zhen Shaolong will still belong to Real Madrid next season, even if he will definitely be a Real Madrid player, and over-reliance on one player will become a big problem.

What if Zhen Shaolong is injured?

At that time, Real Madrid's fighting spirit and results will be greatly affected!

But......

"Do you want Zhen Shaolong to appear?" Pellegrini was mired in tangled thoughts.
