Chapter 91: Winning the Championship
At halftime, Li Mudi did not give too many instructions, but first praised the players' previous performances, and then reminded them to pay attention to maintaining a calm mind and not to get overly excited. As for the tactical requirements in the game, there is no mention of anything, because the opponent has already given up on this game, and it is really not a threat to the home team, and it is more meaningful to focus on avoiding unnecessary cards and injuries at this time.
But reality once again taught Li Mudi, a rookie head coach, a good lesson. Although before arriving in Madrid, it seemed that all their minds were on relegation, neither the Raroda hierarchy nor the manager expected to be lucky enough to pick up points here, thus messing up the game on Castilla's winning night. However, this does not mean that these players will also casually go through the motions, you must know that this is a national live broadcast of the game, almost the only time in the lives of these players who can only mix in the third division of the league can show themselves to the people of the whole country The best opportunity to show themselves to the people of the whole country, how can they easily accept to be a mediocre slaughter, and then achieve the other party's supreme glory background board?
So at the beginning of the second half, the eleven players of the visiting team on the field suddenly burst into a strong fighting force, and they started a frantic scramble like wild dogs off the leash. This kind of "grabbing, pressing, and surrounding" without sparing physical strength and strength is very hard to beat the seriously ill-prepared Castilian players at once, and the home team has made many mistakes in a short period of time, and Li Mudi, who has been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai in the coach's seat, finally got anxious, and hurriedly walked to the sidelines and began to shout loudly to let the players calm down, and at the same time commanded all the frontcourt players to retreat and help teammates strengthen ball control, which stabilized the situation again.
Just when everyone thought that the home team had successfully defused the opponent's last fight and the rest of the game would be completely in the direction of a perfect ending, the visitors knocked on the door of Yáñez in the 56th minute by centre-back Chaguia from a corner, causing the home fans who had been singing loudly to boo. Fortunately, the score of 3-1 was quite safe, and the Castilla players did not have a big psychological fluctuation because of this accidental goal, and they were still very calm after the kick-off, constantly attacking the opponent's defense.
At the moment when they just brought back a goal, the manager and players of La Roda did not think about chasing after the victory to see if they could gain more by luck and hard work. However, due to the serious consumption of their physical energy in the previous scramble, and the fact that the opponent was more concentrated after conceding the ball, he did not leave them any chances, so he completely gave up the idea of fighting to the death and honestly retreated.
However, due to the fact that there is still a lot of gap in strength, coupled with the shouting and cheering of the fans at the scene, the stubborn La Roda still failed to keep the score of 1-3, and was scored by the home team's Muñoz and Alvaro in the 66th and 75th minutes respectively, and the final score was fixed at 5-1.
When referee López López blew the whistle for the end of the match, the entire Alfredo Di Stefano stadium erupted in a tsunami of cheers, accompanied by the "Hala Madrid" played on the loudspeakers, and the Castilians inside and outside the stadium were shouting, singing and jumping. The rest of the Castilla players sitting on the bench and in the stands rushed to the center of the field, grabbed Li Mudi, who was hugging each player there, and threw it into the sky, everyone's face was full of excitement and excitement. Naturally, these scenes were captured by the cameras of Spanish national television, which had not yet cut off the live signal, and in the commentary room in the back, the host was discussing Li Mudi and the record-setting Castilla team with special guest commentators Fuenlavrada coach Morientes and Getafe B coach DelaRed.
In fact, judging from the identities of the two guests selected by the TV station, it has been proved that everyone agreed before the game that there was no suspense about Castile's victory. But now that the moment has come, people find it difficult to deal with this great miracle with complete peace. This is the situation of the commentary team at the TV station, in front of the two happy guests, the famous Spanish football commentator Gabi Moran is using a very exaggerated expression to popularize these broken records: "Wow! That's amazing! The 28th game and 95 goals scored in a single season are the best results in nearly 40 years since the first inception of the 1977-1978 season, plus a record-breaking 87 points. It's unbelievable, I mean it's great to have such a great result with seven league games left, it's ...... I can't think of any words to describe how I feel right now. Two, as opponents in the same league as this super team, what do you think of them? ”
Two Real Madrid celebrities (except for a season on loan to Getafe, De La Rede has been playing for Real Madrid at all levels, and once won the Euro 08 on behalf of the national team, although he retired at the age of 25, but he can barely be regarded as a team celebrity. After smiling and glancing at each other, the coach of the Getafe B team, who was born in the Real Madrid academy, took the lead and said: "This is not the most talented Castilla I have ever seen, and none of them have any hope of reaching the same heights as Guti and Mata in the future, let alone Raul, and of course it may not be as strong as me at that time, haha!" But this is really the most effective La B team I've seen since I started playing football, maybe at their current level, I think they could all be ranked in the top eight or even the top six, and the gap between them and our teams is too big. He shook his head, as if to express his displeasure, but the bright smile on his face looked like a joke.
At this time, Morientes on the side took over and said: "Yes, I completely agree with Ruben's statement, the overall strength of this Castilla team is far beyond the opponents of this level, and I even doubt that if they play in the B3 group of La B, which is not at a high level, this season, will they have a complete victory." For me personally, the most satisfying game of the season was a point at home to them at the beginning of the season, and that game alone proved that I was up to the job. He laughed as he spoke.
Hearing this, Moran turned to De La Red and asked: "I remember that Getafe B has another league game against Castile next month, right?" How's it to be confident that you'll get a point without making your former teammates too proud? ”
"......" The smile of the Getafe B coach disappeared without a trace, and after giving Morientes a roll of his eyes, he replied angrily: "That's why we're here to play away!" When the time comes, you can only do your best and obey the destiny of heaven! This expression made the two people next to him laugh again.
After a while, Gabby Moran stroked the headset and said, "There is still one last bit of time left, I want to ask you what you think of the head coach of this team, Li Mudi?" Now there is a lot of controversy about this young Oriental on the Internet, making it difficult for people who are not familiar with him to judge what kind of person he is. ”
Naturally, the two guests also heard the signal from the director that time was running out from the headset, so they hurriedly spoke at a fast speed and gave their good friends and colleagues a very high evaluation.
Morientes: "Lee is a very amazing guy in terms of coaching ability, I have learned from him for my current coaching philosophy and some of my tactical routines, and I have heard that the current Real Madrid coach Zizou will listen to his advice from time to time. So don't look at his age, but in terms of ability, he is definitely very good, and in my eyes he is definitely one of the most promising managers in the future. ”
De la Red: "I won't talk much about coaching ability, Fernando has made it very clear, let me tell you about Lee's personality. We formed a strong friendship when we worked together in the Real Madrid Under-19 team, he is two years older than me, but he is very introverted, except for football, he just stays in his apartment to listen to music, read books or play games, and almost never leaves the confines of the sports city. Li is very kind and sincere, and now there are some people on the Internet who are deliberately smearing him, which is very immoral, and we should resist it......"
Before he could finish speaking, the commentator Gabby Moran hurriedly interrupted the following unsuitable words, and after briefly summarizing a few sentences of the game and congratulating Castile who successfully won the championship, he announced that today's football live broadcast was over, and let the people who were waiting in front of the TV to watch the lively melon-eating crowd shout about the cheating father.
Turning his gaze back to the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium, after a brief celebration with all the home team, the head coach returned to the dressing room to change into a new suit and took to the stadium's conference room for the post-match press conference.
Faced with questions from reporters from fifty or sixty media outlets, Li Mudi did not show too much excitement, and his congratulations to everyone were just a simple thank you, and he did not lose himself because of these praises. He first praised the players from both sides for a great matchup in the game, and then turned the conversation to the club's management and fans, who believe it is because they have been behind the team that the players have played so well this season.
As for the question of breaking many records in a row, he also responded very calmly: "The reason why records exist is for future generations to break." We've been consistent this season and we've had some good luck to do that. And there will be new teams to break our record in the future, so it's not something to brag about. Although Li Mudi deliberately pretended to be modest here, he inevitably thought that only a record of winning all was the safest, but unfortunately he and the team did not have the strength to complete it now......
When the reporters saw that this kid didn't play according to the routine, he was so modest in what he said, not at all like the attitude of a coach who had just won the league championship in a record-breaking way. Only by writing this guy from the mysterious East as arrogant and arrogant, or making him say something shocking, can he arouse public controversy, thereby increasing newspaper sales or Internet clicks. As a result, many reporters began to dig holes, trying to get Li Mudi to evaluate his personal contribution to this team, and then asked him to discuss the differences between the football of Spain and the Celestial Empire.
For the first question, Castilla naturally shared the credit with each member, from the chairman to the coaching staff, to the players, to the first team, down to the U19 team, and even the chef in the canteen and the driver of the bus did not skip it. Then it was a cliché that brought the topic to the fans, and Balabala mentioned himself after hundreds of words. He thinks that he has only been able to achieve these results by standing on the shoulders of giants, and thanks to Zizou for leaving him with such a good squad foundation, and thanks to the club's management for bringing in young players with such potential for him. As for Celestial Empire football...... I can only hehe.
At first glance, this sounds very unconfident and even a little hypocritical, but as long as you think about it carefully, you will analyze Li Mudi's cunning intentions. When it comes to Zizou, it is reminiscent of last year's Castilla, in the case of almost no difference in the personnel lineup and the lack of many cores in the second half of the season, Li Mudi led the team to get more than 30 points more than his predecessor in the same period, isn't the meaning obvious enough? As for the issue of recruitment, although the introduction of Mbappe, Zivkovic and Melle and others have the shadow of Li Mudi behind the fact that it is not widely known to the outside world, there are still many media with a keen sense of smell who know the development process of some of those transactions from the side, and they all know that the key is the current coach of Castilla, and I have to admire his vision and courage in my heart. In particular, the French teenager Kylian Mbappe, who is said to be the general manager of the Monaco club, is about to leave at the end of the season, because he let Real Madrid pay only 6.5 million euros last summer to let go of the prodigy, who has already shown amazing talent in La Liga. Not to mention the fast-growing lads in the current Castilla squad, Zizou is said to have begun to worry about who will be promoted to the first team next season.
