1241 A hurdle
Ramos has another red card!
After Real Madrid eliminated Barcelona and successfully reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, the media attention was more focused on Ramos, especially his behavior towards the referee at halftime, which many people found incomprehensible.
"Very stupid foul play this time!" The newspaper even blamed it mercilessly.
Indeed, such an appeal is not necessary at all, because it is impossible for the referee to overturn the previous decision, the first half is over, no matter how much Ramos fights, it is impossible for the referee to change the result, but he let himself lose his mind and get a red card, which is very fatal.
Alfredo also accused Ramos in his column, arguing that Real Madrid almost paid for his stupidity!
The editor-in-chief of the newspaper believes that as early as last summer, when Real Madrid appointed the captain of the team, many people were suspicious of Ramos, because he has never been a good stubble, and now there is finally such a scene again.
"If it weren't for Yang Yang, it would be hard for us to imagine how Real Madrid, who played with one less player in the second half, would win Barcelona."
In addition to the two major media close to Real Madrid, other Spanish and even European media have criticized Ramos's behavior, believing that as the captain of the team, he has made a very bad example.
There are even many Real Madrid fans who posted messages on Real Madrid's official website, calling on the club to replace the captain.
"We can't say for sure when he'll make a mistake like this again next time!"
In the past, Ramos could be described as young, hot-blooded and impulsive, but now that he is twenty-eight years old and will soon be twenty-nine, such a player should make himself calm and not be so impulsive anymore.
Even Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was asked by the media at the post-match press conference and felt very helpless when talking about this red card, "This red card is not necessary, but we have to fall into a hard battle, fortunately, our defense is very solid, and Yang Yang stepped forward again at a critical moment." ”
If Ramos has been overwhelmed with accusations, then Yang Yang has been praised overwhelmingly.
Especially the crucial goal in the second half, when the two defenders Pique and Mathieu dragged and dragged him, Yang Yang fought his way out and steadily sent the ball into the Barcelona goal to open the door to victory for Real Madrid.
Everyone can't deny that it was Yang Yang who led Real Madrid out of the predicament.
On the second day after playing Barcelona, Spanish TV Channel 6 news reported that Real Madrid will temporarily put on hold contract renewal negotiations with Ramos for two reasons, one is that Real Madrid is not very satisfied with Ramos's performance, and the other is that Ramos's salary requirements are too high, so Real Madrid must reconsider.
In the past, Ramos's contract extension has been a topic of concern for Real Madrid, as he is the captain of the team, and during the winter break, it was even rumored that Manchester United wanted to bring in Ramos.
At that time, a number of Real Madrid fans even ran to Valdebebasra banners, calling on the club to renew Ramos' contract as soon as possible.
But with the red card against Barcelona, the call has obviously diminished a lot.
Ramos' current salary is around 6 million after tax, but the Spanish centre-back hopes to double his salary on this basis when he renews his contract, that is, around 12 million euros, which is far beyond Real Madrid's bottom line.
In the current Real Madrid team, Yang Yang's salary is a lone show, and it can even be said to be special among the special.
Long before Yang Yang's contract was renewed, some Spanish tabloid media questioned whether Yang Yang deserved such a high salary, but Jose Sanchez, the head of Real Madrid's Ministry of Commerce at that time, personally came forward to clarify, saying that Yang Yang's salary was not more than that, but was given less.
At that time, Jose Sanchez said, "If any player can create such a high commercial value for Real Madrid as Yang Yang, oh no, only half of Yang Yang's commercial value, we will do everything to offer him a sky-high contract and a huge annual salary." ”
At the press conference to renew his contract with Yang Yang, Florentino also said that Yang Yang is an unprecedented miracle in the history of professional football, not only on the field, but also in the business field, and he has created extraordinary value.
Later, UEFA President Michel Platini also mentioned in an interview after the Ballon d'Or that Yang Yang has greatly expanded the boundaries of professional football, not only at the competitive level, but also at the commercial level, and he is the most influential superstar in the United States with the strongest spending power.
All of this shows that Yang Yang is a unique case, and no one can compare with him.
Ramos has never thought of comparing with Yang Yang, and the annual salary he hopes to get is to become the leader of the second echelon of Real Madrid's annual salary structure after Yang Yang, that is, an annual salary of more than 10 million euros after tax.
This is obviously also the strategy given by the agent, because when Barcelona renewed Xavi and Iniesta, they both gave an annual salary of more than 10 million euros after tax, since they can, Ramos, as the captain of Real Madrid, why not?
This was supposed to be a negotiation and negotiation between Ramos' team and Real Madrid, but with this red card against Barcelona, it was quickly poked out by the media and quickly detonated the anger of Real Madrid fans.
Real Madrid members and fans continue to leave messages on the official website or write letters to the club, arguing that with Ramos's performance, he does not deserve such a high annual salary, and should even be stripped of his captaincy.
The media outside are also like sharks that smell blood, and they have rushed up one after another, biting Ramos and not letting go.
Obviously, this is a topic that is very easy to arouse the discussion of fans, on the one hand, red cards, and at the same time, huge annual salaries, what could be more able to stir up the emotions of fans?
Feeling the surging emotions of the outside world, Real Madrid officials remained silent and did not respond.
This is also a strategy of the club, although it did not fall into the trap of Ramos, but at the same time, it is also using public opinion to put pressure on Ramos, hoping to take more initiative in the contract renewal negotiations.
In the current Real Madrid team, an annual salary of 10 million euros has always been a hurdle.
As early as 09, except for a very few players such as Yang Yang and Ibrahimovic, basically no one in the team could get an annual salary of 10 million euros, and after the departure of the Swedish center, Yang Yang has always been the only one.
It was rumored that Real Madrid was going to renew Suarez's contract, and the annual salary would definitely exceed 10 million.
In addition to Suarez, Hazard, Di Maria, Modric and other players are also facing contract renewals.
In other words, after this round of contract renewal, Real Madrid's overall salary will have a very obvious and large increase.
Compared to Real Madrid's annual income, the salary expenditure is not very stressful, but if it is not properly controlled, once it is laid-handed, it may be uncontrollable at any time.
This also has a lot to do with the external environment.
Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Barcelona and other teams are very willing to give money in terms of poaching and recruitment, especially in terms of annual salary, the annual salary expenditure of these teams is very high, especially Barcelona, which has almost reached more than seventy percent of the club's financial income, which is quite a terrifying figure.
Drawing a red line for the annual salary is Florentino's bottom line, and because of this, Real Madrid is very careful when negotiating with players, so much so that fans have only called on the club to give Ramos a salary increase.
After this round of hype by the outside media, Real Madrid and Ramos' teams also invariably adopted a cold treatment and temporarily shelved negotiations, and Real Madrid turned to open contract renewal negotiations with other players.

…………
On the afternoon of January 31, at the Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.
In the 21st round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Real Sociedad.
The match was played in sleet, the field conditions were very bad, and Real Madrid were unlucky.
Just 36 seconds into the opening period, Real Sociedad's first attack created a corner kick opportunity, which resulted in a direct corner kick and a leak caused by a defensive error, which has become a common problem for Real Madrid.
But fortunately, this time Real Madrid woke up quickly, and after only three minutes, Real Madrid equalized, Yang Yang cut inside on the left side, and after hitting the wall with Hazard, the curling ball in front of the goal scored into the far corner, and once again scored in the Yang Yang area.
In the 37th minute, a diagonal pass from the left side of Marcelo, Yang Yang stopped the ball at the back point and hit the goal directly, which was saved by the goalkeeper.
The Real Madrid captain, who had just received a red card in the Copa del Rey, staged redemption on his home turf.
Everyone in Real Madrid also ran to Ramos as soon as possible after the goal and congratulated him on the goal, which also showed the atmosphere of unity within Real Madrid.
The media on the outside can hype up without regard for the consequences, but not on the inside of Real Madrid.
What's more, Ramos has always been like this, this aside, he is definitely the top central defender in world football today, if even such a player can't be tolerated, then where else can Real Madrid find a central defender?
After the second half of the rematch, only six minutes, Yang Yang once again collided with Hazard on the left side, Yang Yang cut diagonally to the right side of the penalty area, Di Maria broke through to the bottom line and passed back, Yang Yang followed up and shot directly in front of the goal, once again broke through the goal of Real Sociedad and scored a brace.
Three to one!
In the 77th minute of the game, Marcelo crossed from the left, and substitute James Rodriguez scored with a header nine meters in front of the goal, knocking on the goal of Real Sociedad again, 4 to 1!
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 4-1 at home, and the visitors did not get too many chances throughout the game.
Ilia Ramendi played the whole game and performed in a decent manner, although not as eye-catching as Mascherano, but still relatively stable, with no serious mistakes.
Obviously, Carlo Ancelotti is still giving him opportunities and wants to help him integrate into Real Madrid.
Both the coaching staff and the management still hope that Ilya Ramendi can stay at Real Madrid and take over from Mascherano.
After playing Real Sociedad, Real Madrid also ushered in the first hurdle after the winter break.
