933 Expedition to Wembley
Ancelotti disgraced to class!
Almost overnight, the world's major media outlets were reporting on this exciting news.
On the evening of 22 May, Chelsea lost 1-0 away to Everton in the final Premier League game, and Ancelotti received the club's decision on the bus back to London from Liverpool, at the same time as Chelsea also issued an official announcement.
Ancelotti out of class!
It was a sudden, but at the same time expected.
The reason why it was expected is that the British media have been hyping the news of Carlo Ancelotti's resignation since last year, but the Italian has held on until this season, and the reason why it was sudden was because Chelsea's decision came so impatiently, and the manager's death sentence was announced less than two hours after the final game.
Even, Ancelotti said at the post-match press conference that his whereabouts would be known within a week, but as a result, more than an hour later, he received the message that he was fired on the bus.
According to the Daily Mail from within Chelsea, everyone on the bus was shocked at the time, and Ancelotti himself was very surprised by this, but he could only accept it, so after returning to London, he went to a pub with several players in the squad for a night of hilarity.
'John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and other key Chelsea players don't want him to go.
Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson openly expressed in the media that he could not understand Chelsea's dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti, because Ancelotti's coaching record at Chelsea was not bad, winning the league and FA Cup double in the first season, and the second season was a bumper result, but also won the league runner-up.
Ferguson said that it was a huge disrespect to the manager to be sacked by Chelsea for a manager like Carlo Ancelotti to be sacked in such a humiliating way, and he personally regretted it.
Not only Ferguson, but also a number of British and European media have expressed their solidarity with Ancelotti and criticized Abu's approach.
According to media analysis, there are many managers who are expected to accept Chelsea next, such as Barcelona's Pep Guardiola, Porto's Villas-Boas, Tottenham Hotspur's Redknapp and Hiddink, etc., are all popular candidates.
As for Ancelotti's departure, there is no shortage of next homes.
As a former top star-turned-head manager, Carlo Ancelotti's coaching ability is obvious to all, and even if he is sacked by Chelsea, his tenure at the Blues has proven his quality and will not affect his future in charge.
According to the British Sun, Ancelotti currently has three possibilities, one is to stay in the Premier League, and the team interested in him is Manchester City, Ancelotti himself has said that if he is fired, he tends to stay in the Premier League.
Another option is to return to Serie A and coach Juventus, the old lady has just fired Del Neri, and the return of Ancelotti must be a welcome welcome, and Ancelotti has also coached Juventus, and knows both Torino and Serie A.
There is also the possibility of Real Madrid, who are in charge of La Liga.
Real Madrid wants to fire Benitez, it is no big secret, even in October last year, the outside world has been boiling hype, Benitez can not survive the winter break, but in the end Yang Yang came back to help Real Madrid defeat Barcelona, and Benitez continued his life, and Real Madrid then won the Copa del Rey and reached the Champions League final.
The Spanish newspaper As, known as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, also said that Real Madrid is indeed paying close attention to Ancelotti's movements, and if Benitez leaves, Real Madrid will list Ancelotti as the first candidate for the new manager.
But the newspaper also said that if Benitez leads the team to successfully defend the Champions League, then Real Madrid will inevitably reconsider Benitez's stay, after all, the first defending champion since the Champions League was restructured, Benitez's Real Madrid will make history.
……
Yang Yang saw the news of Ancelotti's dismissal from class during dinner the next morning, so he did not browse through the news like other news, but seriously picked up the newspaper and read it carefully.
This immediately attracted Su Ye's attention.
"Are the rumors true?" Su Ye guessed a little.
As family members of the players, they always have easier access to some of the team's internal intelligence than from the outside.
For example, the reason why Benitez did not leave class during the winter break was not because he won against Barcelona, but because Florentino and the management assured Yang Yang of this, and the team's results were really good, but this does not mean that the management will continue to trust Benitez and continue to let him stay.
During Benitez's tenure at Real Madrid, the results were indeed brilliant, but the problem was also very obvious, he was not a manager who was good at adjusting the attack, and even Yang Yang himself had to admit that Benitez's offensive routines and details were not ideal, and he was better at straight and fast counterattacks.
However, this style of play is not suitable for the future direction of Real Madrid, because Real Madrid still hopes to strengthen the team's control, while improving the team's offensive ability and enriching the team's tactical means.
What's more, with the improvement of Real Madrid's results, Benitez's relationship with the team's big-name players is also a big hidden danger.
Of course, Yang Yang has no problem, but it is difficult for others to say.
Sometimes, in a team like Real Madrid, the manager's professional ability is not necessarily the most important, on the contrary, how to coordinate and handle the relationship between the big stars in the team is the top priority of the Real Madrid manager.
For example, Bosque in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, in terms of tactics and coaching level, Bosque is not necessarily very high, but he is the most successful, he can win a championship every year during his coaching, and even after leaving his job, he has been missed by all superstars such as Zidane and Ronaldo.
Yang Yang knows a lot of inside stories that outside fans and media don't know, for example, he knows that Real Madrid's management is not as short-sighted as rumored outside, even if Benitez really gets out of class, it is definitely not because he can't win the championship, but because he has built a tactical framework in the Real Madrid team, but the management can't see the possibility of him further improving this framework.
Therefore, if Real Madrid can find a suitable manager, then even if Benitez wins the Champions League, he may be dismissed, and if Real Madrid cannot find a suitable manager, even if he does not win the Champions League, Benitez may stay.
Yang Yang can't be wrong about the management's approach, because sometimes running a team just can't think about too many emotions, just like running a company, you must be calm and rational.
"Do you think Carlo Ancelotti would be the right choice for Real Madrid if he really did?" Su Ye asked again.
Yang Yang looked at her with a frown, after she became pregnant, she insisted on exercising every day, but she still gained some weight.
In the words of Yang Yang's mother, it is a good thing to be fat.
"I don't know, there is no perfect manager in this world, there are no perfect players, and there are no perfect tactics." Yang Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Suitability is the most important thing." ”
So what is appropriate?
This is a question that has no standard answer.
Time changes, what is right today may not be the right tomorrow.
Is Rafael Benitez a top manager?
The answer is obvious, absolutely!
But he really doesn't fit Real Madrid right now, because he can't take this Real Madrid team to a higher level.
Judging from Ancelotti's past coaching experience, what he is best at is to combine the cards in his hand, play the best effect, and play the highest combat effectiveness, which is his advantage.
But Carlo Ancelotti also has his own problems, that is, his character is not strong enough, he belongs to the kind of good old man.
To put it simply, he can handle all aspects of the relationship and get along well with the players, but he is not the one who can lead the team out of adversity, which is not as good as Alex Ferguson, Rafael Benitez and Jose Mourinho.
There are many managers like Carlo Ancelotti, such as Bosque, Pep Guardiola, Arsene Wenger......
Therefore, the key is not how long Ancelotti can coach, but whether he can lead Real Madrid to play at the highest level.
Of course, it is entirely possible that Carlo Ancelotti will not take over the scepter of Real Madrid because the pressure is too great.
Last season's double, this season's all-time league runners-up and Champions League final, as well as winning the Copa del Rey, not anyone has the courage to carry the burden in this situation.
…………
…………
The Champions League final takes place on Saturday evening, May 28.
Traditionally, Real Madrid was supposed to leave for London on Thursday, but this time, and considering the impact of the volcanic ash on the Icelandic side, Real Madrid and Barcelona both decided to leave for London on Tuesday at the same time.
Last year, Barcelona was eliminated by Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the problem was pushed to the volcanic ash after the game, which also attracted the attention of both teams, so in this year's Champions League, both sides coincidentally changed their schedules.
It will also be a long expedition.
Su Ye is still pregnant, Yang Yang attaches great importance to this, not only told his mother to pay attention, but also specially hired an extra professional nurse, and at the same time asked Shen Yuzhu and Su Ye's mother to come to Madrid in advance to help take care of Su Ye.
Even, if it weren't for Su Ye's insistence, Yang Yang wouldn't even let her go to the Champions League final.
And considering the impact of volcanic ash, it will definitely not be possible to take a plane at that time, so not only did the team leave early, but Yang Yang also asked Su Ye and them to go to London in advance, and they would go to London to play everywhere in the spare days, anyway, Yang Yang would reimburse them.
It wasn't until Su Ye and his party were sent on the plane to London that Yang Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
On Tuesday afternoon, after a training session at Valdebebas, the squad was disbanded and the players went back to pack their belongings, had dinner in Valdebebas that evening, and then departed at 8pm to catch a flight to London at the capital's airport.
Real Madrid president Florentino personally led the team, while Baldano, Zinedine Zidane and Redondo also travelled with the team, while the rest of the club's top management, the players' families and the team's reporters will travel to London on Thursday, where the club's sponsor Emirates has prepared another flight for them.
Real Madrid were greeted by a large number of fans at London Heathrow, especially Yang Yang.
As a star who came out of the Premier League, even now, Yang Yang still has a huge influence in the hearts of Premier League fans.
