The next day, the front page headline of the newspaper Marca was a photo of Rafael Benitez at his post-match press conference in the Madrid derby, with a huge headline: "Rafael Benítez: Misjudgment leads to defeat!" ”

Not only the newspaper "Marca", but also the newspaper "As" also published a report on this incident: "After yesterday's game, Benitez was obviously stimulated by this defeat, and he even publicly blamed the referee's decision after the game, which made Real Madrid lose the game......"

“…… The La Liga disciplinary committee is said to be very unhappy with Benitez's remarks. After all, when the losing coach blames the referee and puts the responsibility for the loss on the referee, it means that any losing side can put the blame on the referee, which is a very bad example, which will shake the authority of the referee......"

In fact, Real Madrid club president Florentino was also furious with Benitez's remarks. He is obviously worried that the manager's accusations against the referee will affect the relationship between Real Madrid and the referees, and it is inevitable that there will be a situation against Real Madrid in the next game...... Real Madrid has issued a statement in which they disagree with the head coach of the team, reiterating the club's support for the referee's work......"

'Benitez must know what this Madrid derby means to him, it's an exam. As a result, I failed the test. He immediately experienced the pressure of being the head coach of a big club – Benitez had managed the likes of Liverpool and Inter Milan, but these teams were not on par with Real Madrid, and the pressure of coaching in these two teams was completely different from the pressure at Real Madrid...... With so much pressure, Benitez's gaffe is understandable. It's just that understanding is understanding, and he, as the manager of Real Madrid, should not say such things......"

“…… Rafa is aware of the negative impact that his words said after yesterday's game will have on the team and the club, so he clarified what he said yesterday in an interview at Sporting City today, saying that he did not mean to blame the referee, he was just a little puzzled by the penalty award, after all, he was too far away from the incident to see clearly. When he returned home last night, he watched the video of that clip repeatedly, and he thought that the referee Marienko's decision was no problem, and he was willing to apologize to Marienco for it, to everyone he hurt......"

Although Benitez has publicly apologized, the controversy and criticism surrounding him will not stop. As Carlo Ancelotti's successor and a Real Madrid-born manager, he has high expectations. However, the team's results after he took charge were not satisfactory. After losing to Atletico Madrid, the team has been winless for two consecutive games, and he has only played seven league games without a win in three...... You must know that in the competition for La Liga, three games without a win is already a bad result...... Atletico Madrid won the league last season without a win in six games, and Real Madrid have now equalled half of last season's winless streak at Atletico Madrid. This is unacceptable for a demanding team like Real Madrid......"

“…… Benitez is in trouble! After yesterday's defeat to Atletico Madrid, he not only questioned the referee's decision after the game, but also pushed Real Madrid and himself into the vortex of public opinion. At the same time, there is another thing - after Benzema was substituted, his face was not good-looking, even if Beni Tesla talked to him, it did not make Benzema happy. This detail is considered evidence that Benitez is spiraling out of control of the dressing room. As a manager, there's nothing more terrible than losing the support of the dressing room...... Of course, it's just a sign now, but if it's not handled well, who knows if there will be a big storm in the future? It's just that we all know that Benitez is not good at dealing with dressing room matters......"

After the game, the news about Benitez was overwhelming, and it seemed that overnight, the tactician was on the verge of being sacked by losing to Atletico Madrid.

But this is not an unusual thing in the position of Real Madrid.

After all, this position is probably the hottest position in the club, especially during Florentino's time as president of Real Madrid......

When Florentino was president of Real Madrid, there was a record that under his rule, there had never been a Real Madrid manager who had fulfilled his contract.

In his two terms at the helm of Real Madrid, he has fired nine managers.

So it won't be surprising whether Benitez will also be fired.

What happens to Benitez, it has nothing to do with Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid fans are more focused on the league standings.

In this round of league games, the match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is the last, so before they kick off, the results of the matches of the other teams are out.

Barcelona lost a very unexpected 1-2 away to Sevilla, which has not performed well this season and is only 16th in the league......

Barcelona was originally ranked fifth because of the previous loss to Atletico Madrid, but after losing this game, it was even worse, the league ranking fell to seventh, and they were almost out of the European zone. This is a rare ranking for Barcelona.

At the same time, Villarreal, which ranked first in the league in the last round, also lost 0:1 away to Levante, the second-to-last team in the league, which can be regarded as a small upset.

Plus Real Madrid lost to Atletico Madrid.

The main rivals all lost, and Atletico Madrid returned to the top of the table with 18 points at the end of this round of league games.

In the upcoming international break, this league standings will provide a little relief to Atletico Madrid fans.

Next, all Atletico Madrid fans began to pray for Gao Zheng.

I hope Gao Zheng will not be injured in the match between the Chinese team and the Qatar team.

Because of Gao Zheng, the media in Madrid will also introduce the situation of the Chinese team to Atletico Madrid fans, after all, Gao Zheng's performance in the national team is also related to his performance in the club.

China is so far away, every time I go back to compete, it's a toss-up.

Atletico Madrid fans now know that the Chinese team is playing in the round of 40 of the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, and these Atletico Madrid fans are also very upset when it comes to the format of the Asian qualifiers, thanks to the media publicity.

They know why the Asian qualifiers are different from the European qualifiers, and why there are the top 40 tournaments.

They also know that Qatar is the strongest team in this group of the Chinese team except for the Chinese team itself. If China wants to reach the round of 12 of the next qualifiers, they must beat Qatar.

They also know the current situation in this group, the Chinese team and Qatar have nine points, but because the goal difference is at a disadvantage, the Chinese team is ranked second in the group behind Qatar. Only the winners of each group will qualify directly for the Round of 12. So group second is not a position of insurance.

They even know that although there are two games in the next national team break, the Chinese team only has to play one game because of the schedule.

This means that Gao Zheng can return to the club early to prepare for the next league against Real Sociedad and the Champions League group stage against Astana at home.

This is a major positive for Atletico Madrid......

I have to say that because of Gao Zheng's existence, many Atletico Madrid fans are about to become experts on Chinese football issues.
