After getting off the plane at Turin Caselle Airport, Li Mudi did not immediately take the car from Forsina back to the apartment, but found a coffee shop there and sat for more than half an hour, waiting for his old friend Zidane who flew from Madrid. The Real Madrid coach came to Italy this time mainly to participate in a business event, by the way to meet friends here, will stay at the Torino coach in the evening, two people who have not been able to talk together for a long time will take advantage of this rare opportunity to have a good chat.

Due to their tight schedule, after a brief greeting with his friend and his agent Migliasio, Li Mudi signaled everyone to leave as soon as possible, so as not to be late and cause unnecessary trouble. This is a commercial promotion event organized by Armani, so the two of them and even other spokespersons such as Mourinho and other big names will be present, and the scale is very large. It was precisely because of this activity that the Turin coach could not stay in the Celestial Empire for two more days and had to rush back, but after taking other people's money, he had to do his best to do things for him, and the most basic professional ethics were still necessary.

This business event was very grand, and there were many stars from all walks of life in Europe and the United States, which attracted the attention of countless people. However, for Li Mudi, who is not very familiar with these people, it is still relatively boring, compared to those stars in the entertainment industry, they are several levels worse in the sports world, and they have become the foil of others. Even Turin, one of the meccas of football, has not been able to subvert the laws of this world, but it is good that the three most famous managers in world football today (the Turin coach is certainly not on the same level as those two, but he is young and has great potential) got together, hid in the corner and exchanged their experiences, and finally did not let these two hours go to waste.

But at the moment when the event ended, the three of them still chose to leave immediately, and the Manchester United manager had other arrangements, so he said goodbye and rushed elsewhere. And Qi and Li took Genes to the guild hall opened by the Celestial Empire Capital to enjoy a meal of mixed and matched Celestial Empire and Western food, and treated their stomachs and taste buds. After eating, about twenty o'clock in the evening, Gines left alone, he had to rest early, and he would fly back to Spain early tomorrow morning to deal with the company's affairs. The remaining two returned unhurried back to Li Mudi's apartment, and a conversation that might have been written into Qi Zu's memoirs began immediately.

Real Madrid's performance last season was definitely very good, although it was not perfect, after all, they lost the Copa del Rey, but the results of La Liga and defending the Champions League are also dazzling enough, which basically ensures that Zinedine Zidane can be elected the world's best manager for the second year in a row. Before the official start of this season, the Galaxy Battleship, which has lost big stars such as Morata and J Ronaldo in the transfer market, also played a dazzling game, with the introduction of young talents such as Ceballos and Te'o, and the recovery of Mbappe, Jesse and Vallejo on loan, the team's youth storm amazed the whole world for a while, and almost all the media chanted: "They will continue to dominate football for ten years." ”

In the case of the old injury of the first card, first defeated the Red Devils Manchester United 2-1 in the UEFA Super Cup, and then returned to China to beat the arch-rivals Barcelona home and away in the Spanish Super Cup, this performance really deserves all the praise, it seems that after the squad has been greatly younger, Real Madrid's strength has increased, which is really terrible. However, such an unfortunate situation is still unlikely, and a powerful bomb was detonated when the team was gaining momentum, which directly put the world's best club into a sudden predicament.

Cristiano Ronaldo, when the name is mentioned, the general opinion is that one of the two quasi-ball kings in the world, the current world's most supporters and sunspots are the superstars. It is undeniable that after landing at Old Trafford as Beckham's successor, he has been the most watched top star in world football for the past 14 years, and in terms of club results and honors, only Messi can be equal to him.

Since joining the Bernabeu in the summer of 2009 for a record-setting transfer fee, Cristiano Ronaldo has embarked on his quest to dominate the world, helping Real Madrid win more than a dozen trophies, the most important of which are three Champions Leagues, two league games and two Copa del Rey titles. In addition, in terms of personal honors, everyone is even more staggered, in addition to a large number of top scorer titles in various competitions, three Ballon d'Or trophies, Champions League goalscorer king, Real Madrid all-time scorer king, Europe's top five league all-time scorer king...... All this shows that he has become a living legend. And in the 2016 European Championship in France, Ronaldo also led Portugal, who was not too optimistic before the game, to win the first major championship in team history, filling the gap in his national team.

It can be said that if it weren't for the existence of such a demon as Messi at the same time, Ronaldo would already be the third recognized king of world football. But now it's about the same, as long as he can win the World Cup before he retires, then he will properly condense the godhead, and from then on it will only exist in legends.

However, this emperor superstar has strong ability and a great temper, no, it should be said that it is quite big, and if he is a little dissatisfied, he will come out and make a fuss, and some related situations have been mentioned before, so I won't mention it here. In short, Galeries Lafayette and other Real Madrid executives have always adopted an attitude of concession and compromise, and a reassuring meal coupled with the increase in the price of economic interests has finally managed to maintain a basic unity and stability over the years. But what he caused this time was a bit big, which directly caused great fluctuations in the team's results, which caused continuous heated discussions among the Spanish media and netizens, and even made Qizu have a headache to the point that it was difficult to handle.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not start in the first UEFA Super Cup game of the season due to injury, but with the outstanding performance of new blood such as Mbappe, Real Madrid still won against the mighty Manchester United, which made the Portuguese superstar, who has always considered himself indispensable to the team, a little unhappy. And when he challenged Barcelona in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, when he came on in the 58th minute, Real Madrid's youngsters were evenly matched with the sworn enemies of the whole main team, which completely inspired the fighting spirit of the world footballer, Ronaldo's ability is not questioned, and it was with his long-range shot that the team took the lead again and laid the tone for victory. However, he was not calm and stripped to celebrate and attracted a yellow card, and then fell to the ground after dribbling the ball into the penalty area, and was determined by the referee to fake a fall, and was directly sent off with two yellows and one red.

In fact, if this thing stops, it will not have much impact, even without him, with the wonderful performance of the young players in the team, Real Madrid has a good chance of winning this year's Spanish Super Cup. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you lose this title, what can you do, and how much can this kind of trophy with the nature of a warm-up match be valued in terms of Real Madrid's status. However, Ronaldo, who is 32 and a half years old, is like a spoiled child, and when he is dissatisfied with the penalty, he pushed the referee Bengoye from behind, which immediately caused an uproar. After the game, the Spanish Football Federation quickly made a penalty decision, banning Real Madrid for five games, and he will miss the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup and the first four rounds of the league.

The reason why Lafayette dared to send out Morata, J Ronaldo and Mariano attackers in one go in the summer was that he felt that with Ronaldo, the world's strongest attacker who is still ageless, supplemented by a talented leader like Mbappe, the team's attack power will not decline much. And once the young players have gradually grown up after a period of training, Real Madrid's goalscoring ability will be stronger than before. However, the loss of the number one star at the beginning of the league required Asensio, Mbappe and Jesse to immediately have the strength to carry the team's beams, which was somewhat too reluctant.

Sure enough, after beating Deportivo La Coruna by three goals away in the first round, Real Madrid faced Valencia, one of their bitter hosts, in this round of home trouble, and the players all had some problems with their shooting goals. Even though Zizou made substitutions to get Benzema, Bale, Isco, Asensio, Mbappe and Jesse all played, their 22-shot stats of just 6 were still unable to help the team win two in a row. In the absence of Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane and Keylor Navas's inconsistent form, the opponent was forced to draw 2-2 and was in a less favourable situation at the start of the league period.

After being held to a 1-1 draw at home by the underdog Levante in the third round, Barcelona was already four points behind Barcelona at the top of the table, much to the disappointment of supporters, but the unexpected was far from coming. In the fifth round of the league, Real Madrid, which finally welcomed back Ronaldo, won more than 60% possession at home, and gave a poor performance of 20 shots off target, of which the Portuguese himself was a super wave shot of 2 out of 12, which made the team not only failed to achieve the three points that were considered stable before the game, but was also killed by Betis in the last minute, suffered the first defeat of the new season, and made Real Madrid's position in the standings continue to decline.

In the next two league games, Zizou's side finally stopped their poor form in time, winning Alaves and Espanyol in succession, but the process of the game was extremely difficult. It's easy to see that this year's Ballon d'Or nominee is clearly out of balance in terms of mentality, and he is reluctant to work with his new team-mates, instead constantly trying to prove his status as the world's number one star with his individual ability. The two games combined with 13 shots, 2 shots on target, 0 goals and 0 assists were really embarrassing, but fortunately, his form or luck in the Champions League was better, and only 5 of the 14 shots hit the woodwork, and he scored 4 goals, which can be regarded as saving some face.

However, the current atmosphere in Real Madrid is very bad, mainly Cristiano Ronaldo, including his friend Benzema, Marcelo and other stalwarts of the team, including overseas senior players, for Mbappe, Cevallos and Te'o These young players are very cold, Asensio and Jesse are a little better because of the identity of local players, but the situation is still not very optimistic. Lafayette originally expected Mbappe to form an effective rotation with the "200 million" superstar this season, and then sell Bale next summer to straighten out the French youngster. And Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a year older, will gradually give way to Asensio next season, and the renewal of the team will be completed in this quiet.

But the idea is good, but the reality is always unsatisfactory. The Welsh winger has been in a nightmare cycle of injury, recuperation, return and re-injury, as if he had been cursed and simply not useful when it mattered. As Ronaldo gets older, his competitive state has also declined significantly, but his temper has not risen less, and he is still a self-respecting and unconvinced mentality. Benzema can finally stop taking the blame, because of the ultra-low goal rate and the ability to waste chances, everyone basically agrees that he is one of the cancers in the team.

These three bigwigs are all in no state in the new season, but they are still unwilling to give way to the newcomers, and even made some exclusionary moves, and the Real Madrid team is about to become a pot of porridge. Even if the results are not at their worst, Zizou already has a hunch that if he does not intervene, he may be swept away in a month or two, let alone a new contract extension. This is a 180-degree turn compared to the praise in the media before the start of the season, not that he can't accept this fact, but the world is changing too fast!

So in the evening in his friend's apartment, while casually drinking red wine from France, the Real Madrid coach vomited bitterness, saying that he never thought that the team would make such a big change in such a short period of time, and a sad expression of inability to control the situation was very obvious.

After waiting for the other party to vent the depression in his heart, Li Mudi responded calmly: "There is an ancient book in the Celestial Empire, called "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period", which was compiled more than 200 years BC, and it is also a famous work based on Taoist theory and integrating many doctrines. There is a very famous saying, which says: 'Flowing water does not rot, and the hub does not beetle'. Translated, it means that the long-flowing water does not stink, and the rotating door shaft does not suffer from insects. This principle is also applied to team building, Real Madrid has been able to dominate world football in the past two years, relying on that group of top-level and stable superstar lineups, but after experiencing a peak, it quickly fell to the bottom, but it is precisely because they are too stable and have lost their previous vitality. ”

At this point, the Torino coach took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and continued to give his thoughts: "Although the current state of the team is a bit of a trend of falling all the way to the bottom, after all, the season has only just begun, there is still a lot of time, and it is time to be determined to make changes." Remember the advice I made last summer? Taking advantage of the fact that the value of the player is at its most inflated, break up the BBC, leave only one person at most, and then use the exchanged funds to reinforce. It's a pity that the best opportunity of the summer transfer window was missed, in last year, Bale added more than 10 million to get back to De Gea, this year it is possible to fill in an extra 20 million, as for next summer...... It depends on Jose's mood, you must know that he has no good intentions towards Real Madrid now, maybe he will no longer look down on the Welsh by then, this is all uncertain. ”

After that, Li Mudi shook his head slightly, ignoring his friend's face, which was becoming more and more difficult to look at.
