Chapter 33: The First Major Change

The match between Castilla and Barraccardo was broadcast live on Madrid Regional Television, but the post-match press conference did not take place. As mentioned earlier, this battle for the top spot is the highlight of this round of La Liga B, but few people are interested in it, because the first national derby of the 15-16 La Liga season - or the derby of the century – will be played later, with Real Madrid hosting Barcelona.

Real Madrid had just lost away to Sevilla in the last round and were overtaken by Barcelona, who had won four in a row, by three points in the table, relinquishing the top spot that had been sitting for four rounds. In this league game against a sworn rival, the whole Real Madrid club from top to bottom is hoping to get a win and step on the corpse of Barcelona to regain the leader's position, and the scenery is simply too beautiful to look at......

Li Mudi was not able to watch the big battle live because he had to direct the match of Castile, but due to its special score and the time he traveled not too long, he was still very impressed by the game. As soon as the match on Castile's side was over, Li Mudi took out his mobile phone and called Zizu. Previously, through some planning, Qi Zu would appear in the chairman's box to watch the game with the senior management of the two teams, and Li Mudi gave his friend a few so-called "tips" in the name of metaphysics, so that he could predict the situation on the field by Lafayette's side at the right time, hoping to have the opportunity to put the last straw.

After some necessary matters after the race, Li Mudi hurriedly took a taxi back to the apartment, ready to watch the live broadcast of the game. When he was about to get out of the taxi, he received a text message from Zizou at 22:10, which read: "...... You...... Possessed by Lao Tzu? ”

Li Mudi, who ran into the room and turned on the TV, saw the score of 0-1 in the twelfth minute of the game, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and the heart that had been carried before was relaxed. This game doesn't look much the same as it did before the time-travel, and if God helps, the first major change in history since he crossed over will be in his hands.

Li Mudi wants to take advantage of the two league games against Sevilla and Barcelona in succession, let Benitez leave class early, and correct his friend Zidane, so that he can live more comfortably in the coming days. Of course, it would be great if it could change the fate of Real Madrid's league runners-up. In the past ten days, Li Mudi has been planning this matter, of course, with the passive cooperation of Qi Zu and the tacit consent of Lafayette in secret. Benitez's guilt was summed up by Li Muddy into several points: rigid tactics and failure to give full play to the strengths of superstars; Poor communication with the players, few committed supporters in the dressing room; The use of young players is too conservative, and the development of young players is not valued in the context of the explosion of youth training in Castile; The last one is the fiasco in the face of the sworn enemy today, if Lafayette can still support the manager in the face of Mourinho's 0-5, then the 0-4 after more than an hour will definitely put Beyshuai into endless hell. In reality, although Benitez was not fired immediately after being bloodied by Barcelona at home, when he narrowed the gap between the two teams from 6 points to 5 points, he was fired because of a draw, you must know that Barcelona only scored 1 point in that round, and the 5-point gap between the two teams has not changed. It can be seen that this 0-4 has definitely made Lafayette's tolerance for him reach the limit, and all Li Mudi has to do is to put the last straw on the camel.

In the following time, Li Mudi has been paying attention to the progress of the game, and although Real Madrid is playing at home, there is really no advantage at all. The specific important nodes must not be recalled, Li Mudi only roughly remembers that Barcelona scored four goals in the first half around the tenth minute, around the 40th minute, shortly after the opening of the second half and around 70 minutes, of which Luis Suárez (Luis Suárez) scored two goals, and there is no impression of who scored the remaining two goals, but it is certainly not the king of plum balls. In addition, Isco should have been sent off with a red card in the closing stages of the game, which is also impressive.

Thinking about the success of this matter, Li Mudi, who was a little absent-minded watching the game, only to find out that the plum ball king was not on the field ten minutes later, and was a little surprised, and it took him a long time to find him on the bench of the away team. However, the process of the game did not change much, in the 38th minute, Barcelona extended the lead, Suarez handed over to Iniesta (Andrés Iniesta) after the successful counter-attack in the midfield, the small white collar ball after the middle straight plug, Neymar (Neymar) successfully countered offside after forming a single knife, in the left side of the penalty area of the rib left foot low shot, the ball passed through the armpit of Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas, 0-2, Barcelona away two goals lead. As the visitors gathered around to celebrate, there was a deafening boo at the Bernabeu, and it was not known if it was aimed at the Barcelona players, the underperforming home players or the manager. In first-half stoppage time, Alves cut in and crossed and was hit by Rakitic with his right foot, and the referee blew the half-time whistle. Cristiano Ronaldo walked back to the dressing room with a blank face, which was in stark contrast to the elation of the Barcelona players.

Li Mudi hurried up to communicate with Qi Zu by text message, knowing that Lafayette's face was a little ugly at this time, his mood was even more settled, this game was definitely enough for Benitez to drink a pot.

In fact, Xiao Li still respects Bei Shuai very much, he himself is a descendant of Real Madrid, and he also cultivated a lot of excellent players when he coached Castile, and he has achieved success in many teams after "being released". Especially in the decade from 2001 to 2010, Benitez can be regarded as one of the most high-profile young marshals. During his years at Valencia and Liverpool, he won two La Liga titles, one Champions League and one runners-up, one Europa League, one FA Cup and one UEFA Super Cup, and the limelight was not much worse than Mourinho's. Even if Inter Milan and Chelsea were disgraced, they left the local fans with an Italian Super Cup, a Club World Cup and a Europa League. He went on to coach Napoli in 13 years and also won a Coppa Italia. It can be said that Benitez is a veritable "king of the cup"! A head coach with so many honors is worthy of everyone's respect, but while he coached the Real Madrid first team, he had a great negative impact on Castilla's coach Li Mudi, so that Xiao Li could not do his best to create meritorious achievements, which would affect his future career. In order to become a legend in football, Li Mudi had to kick him out of class in order to protect himself, after all, if he didn't do it himself, Bei Shuai would still be out of class in early January. If the whip can be handed over to Zizu in advance, maybe Real Madrid's league title can still be hopeful, which also alleviates the guilt in Li Mudi's heart.

The second half of the game began with a mixture of cheering and boos from the home fans, and the home team significantly stepped up their attack, with a series of shots on goal, but unfortunately the effect was not good. The visitors gradually regained their first-half form after beating their opponents' opening three-platers, and Neymar's long-range shot from outside the box went just wide, shocking the home fans in a cold sweat.

In the 53rd minute, Barcelona made a comeback, Iniesta passed directly from the midfield, Neymar imaginative with his heel, followed by Xiaobai on the line of the big penalty area directly picked up his right foot and shot, Navas couldn't reach the whip, the ball hit the net, 3-0, the away team completely laid the victory.

In the 57th minute, the two teams made one substitution after another, Real Madrid replaced J Ronaldo with Isco, and Barcelona came off the bench to replace Rakitic.

In the 68th minute, the home team wasted the best chance of the game, Ronaldo rarely found an absolute opportunity in the penalty area, but unfortunately his close push was blocked by Barcelona goalkeeper Claudio Bravo (Claudio Bravo) with his face, and the home fans of the whole stadium made a great cry of regret.

In the 74th minute, the king of the plum ball dribbled the ball in the midfield, wiped the defender and sent a precise through ball, the left back Jordi Alba (Jordi Alba) received the ball and passed again, Suarez formed a single knife and then paused slightly, shook off Navas's center of gravity, easily pushed the goal, scored twice, scored the eleventh goal in La Liga this season, and the average goal per game efficiency is the highest in the entire major European leagues.

In the 84th minute, Isco deliberately retaliated behind his back as he remembered, kicked down Neymar, and was directly shown a red card by the referee and sent off.

In the end, Real Madrid, under the attention of a billion fans around the world, was bloodied 0-4 at home by the sworn enemy Barcelona.

Final Stats: The home team had 5 fewer shots on goal, the same number of shots on target, and the possession rate was close to 40%-60%, and most of the other statistics were also dominated by the away team, and the home team was defeated.

In the post-match press conference, Benitez's somber expression became a backdrop for Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, and even though the "top three public enemies of Real Madrid's history" did not make a big deal about his former parent club like Samuel Eto'o, it still made Real Madrid officials and media close to Real Madrid feel deeply insulted. After this round of games, Real Madrid, which lost two consecutive games, was not only opened by the bitter rival Barcelona in the standings by 6 points, but also fell to the third place by 2 points because of the victory of another mortal rival, Atletico Madrid. Being pressed on the head by two sworn enemies one after another, the life of the Real Madrid coach and players is really not easy!

For ordinary people, life is not good, and they have to go on; But for Real Madrid and its president Galeries Lafayette, if life is bad, change the way to live, anyway, the price paid is just a check.

On the morning of the second day of the national derby on 22 November 2015, Real Madrid officially announced that after careful consideration, the team had made a difficult decision to terminate Rafael Benitez's coaching contract. We would like to thank him for his contribution to the team during this time and wish him a better career in the future. In addition, it was announced that the position of first-team manager will be taken over by the former Castilla coach and first-team special assistant Zinedine Zidane.

So far, the Real Madrid football team has entered the Zidane era 44 days ahead of schedule, following Li Mudi's previous real world. Correspondingly, Benitez stepped down 44 days early, and if there were any history books to record this event, it could be named "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" - no, it was "Forty-four Days of Early Release" - and the author's ability to name it was simply weak!
