Fans in Spain only suspect that there is a discord within the Real Madrid team, and after the fans of Real Madrid and Barcelona in China learned about the quarrel between Ronaldo and Benzema during the game through TV broadcasts or online channels, they immediately started a war of words on the sports forums of major websites.

However, unlike the Barcelona fan camp, which has an extremely "unified" mentality of "watching the excitement is not a big deal", the Real Madrid fan camp is also divided into two factions.

Among them, those domestic fans who like the Real Madrid team because they like Ronaldo (hereinafter referred to as "Ronaldo fans") believe that Benzema only cares about scoring goals by himself, and does not pass the ball to Ronaldo, who has a higher chance of scoring according to the actual situation on the field, is an act that does not care about the overall situation. Therefore, as the boss of the team, Ronaldo, for the sake of the overall interests of the team, it is natural for him to come forward to teach the "little brother" who does not care about the overall situation.

Corresponding to these die-hard fans of Ronaldo, those domestic fans who really like Real Madrid, a team with a long history and a brilliant record, and do not become fans of the team because they like a certain star (hereinafter referred to as "Real Madrid fans"), believe that Benzema's forced choice to shoot in the game instead of passing the ball to Ronaldo in a better position is indeed only debatable. However, Benzema's forced shot had already earned him a goal, and it would have been a lack of energy for his team-mates to come up and ask why he hadn't passed the ball to him while his team-mates were celebrating the goal.

As the saying goes, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Ronaldo himself often cares about his own shooting in the game, and does not make the most correct choice based on the actual situation on the field. Otherwise, he wouldn't have single-handedly accounted for nearly a third of the team's shots on goal. Since his teammates were able to accept his choice of "wave shot" (at least not in person), he should also tolerate Benzema's inappropriate choice.

Therefore, even if there is discord within the Real Madrid team because of this incident, the main reason is the result of Ronaldo's domineering behavior.

In fact, if you look at it from the standpoint of the team itself, the point of view of "Real Madrid fans" is still relatively objective.

However, because the vast majority of "Ronaldo fans" will become fans of Real Madrid because they like the relationship between the player himself, once the player himself changes the court, they will not hesitate to "abandon" their identity as Real Madrid fans and become fans of the player's new team.

For these "pseudo-fans", whether the team wins or not actually has little to do with themselves. And how many goals Ronaldo himself has scored, how many wonderful dribbles he has made in the game, and whether he is happy on the pitch are the questions they are most concerned about.

Therefore, even if the views of "Real Madrid fans" are very objective, "Ronaldo fans" still stubbornly believe that Ronaldo's number of shots is indeed a little more, but as the team's top scorer, it is understandable to occupy more shooting opportunities than other teammates. What's more, Ronaldo is currently temporarily at the top of the La Liga scorer list with 16 goals. Therefore, his teammates should create more shooting opportunities for him, so that the possibility of Ronaldo finally winning the La Liga Golden Boot will be greatly increased.

Just when there were disagreements among Real Madrid fans, their rivals Barcelona fans held the mentality of "watching the excitement and not being afraid of big things", and also sneered at Ronaldo's inappropriate practices.

In their opinion, without Cristiano Ronaldo's proflamation, Real Madrid would have scored more points. If that were the case, it would be difficult for Barcelona to build an eight-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table with only a third of the league played.

However, just when the Barcelona fans in China were happy because of the discordant voices within Real Madrid, in the final match of the 15th round of La Liga, the Barcelona team, which was clearly superior, was dominated by the whole game (nearly 7% possession, 31 shots on goal), but Athletic Bilbao used a quick counterattack to score the only goal of the game.

As soon as this result came out, Barcelona fans, who were still laughing at Real Madrid's internal discord, immediately lost the mind to mock their rivals. After all, when the opponent has won by 4 goals, his team has awkwardly swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat away from home.

However, Barcelona's unexpected defeat made the fans of Atletico Madrid and the fans of Fengquan feel extremely excited.

Previously, when Diego Costa was sidelined due to injury, he had just completed a contract extension with the club, and he had a prominent performance in the position of a central striker, and when he completed his first hat-trick in La Liga, and then temporarily climbed to the top of the scorer list, Atletico Madrid fans were very happy.

In this way, even if the team really loses the "thigh" of Diego Costa, Feng Quan can fill the void left by him.

Now, Barcelona's surprise defeat means that Atletico Madrid can finally get rid of this difficult opponent for the time being and monopolize the top spot in the La Liga standings.

Although there are still nearly two-thirds of the games left to play in La Liga this season, if they can win the halfway game, they have a good chance of winning the final league title. After all, in the history of La Liga, more than 7 percent of the half-way champions have won the La Liga championship trophy that season.

…………

Because Feng Quan did an excellent job of filling the vacancy of a forward center left by Diego Costa, coupled with the fact that Griezmann's winter transfer had been completed before, Atletico Madrid, which was originally at a disadvantage in Diego Costa's contract renewal, suddenly took the initiative in negotiations.

That's right, the amount of liquidated damages stipulated in Diego Costa's contract is really low compared to his performance this season. However, in the case of Chelsea Football Club's announcement that it has temporarily abandoned the introduction of Diego Costa, Atletico Madrid, which has already secured Griezmann, if it is hidden in the second half of the league game, I am afraid that by next summer, Diego Costa will not only miss the World Cup in Brazil, but also lose the favor of other big clubs.

Although Diego Costa's ability does not end up in a miserable situation without a ball to play, he missed the best opportunity for a salary increase. And even his agent, Mendes, will miss out on a great opportunity to make a profit.

As a result, Mendes, who was still extremely tough on the renewal of his contract, had to take the initiative to find a solution when Atletico Madrid's attitude was gradually cold.

Eventually, after a series of negotiations, Atletico Madrid agreed to raise Diego Costa's weekly salary to €120,000. In exchange, Mendes agreed to increase Diego Costa's liquidated damages to 80 million euros (or 50 million euros if a foreign club asks for a purchase).
