Chapter 453 - You Should Ask Them

According to Ricardo, Manuel Pellegrini is a high-level coach who is world-class in terms of tactics and on-the-spot command.

But he never knows how to get along with big stars.

After all, it was the first time he had coached a giant, and the most famous one under him was Riquelme, and he couldn't get along in Barcelona and left gloomily, and Riquelme has been a man with his tail between his legs ever since.

As for Riquelme's status in the rivers and lakes...... Although he claims to be the last classical midfielder, the heart of Villarreal and Argentina's midfield, it seems that there is something missing to say that he is a big name.

His status in the rivers and lakes is a little stronger than Baptista, but it is not as good as Veron, and he is almost at the same level as Guti.

And how old is Guti in Real Madrid?

When the media talks about Real Madrid's big-name stars, Guti is definitely not on the list.

Let's talk about these years, there were Figo, Zidane, Beckham, Owen, and now Ronaldo, Ricardo, Kaka, Van Nistelrooy, which is not bigger than Guti?

In other words, Pellegrini has at best experience dealing with players of Guti's level, and he simply does not understand that at the level of Ricardo, Kaka, and Ronaldo, he is no longer the same creature as Guti.

It's like the difference between an Oiran and an ordinary skilled woman.

The Oiran is the pillar of a green building, and this pillar cannot be topped, and the old bustard has to coax the Oiran.

As for ordinary skilled women, they love to stay and go, and the bustard can come and go as soon as they are summoned, and even beat and scold them wantonly.

Pellegrini treats Oiran with the same attitude as an ordinary skilled woman, and of course Oiran rebels!

And if the news of their conflict spreads, will the club's hierarchy support the players or the manager? With Florentino's character, there is a good chance that Pellegrini will roll up and leave.

Ricardo didn't want to get Pellegrini out. But he had to make Pellegrini understand what he was doing wrong and wait until the media and the club's hierarchy put pressure on Pellegrini before coming out and cleaning up the mess.

Basically, a head coach who started his coaching career in a grassroots team will have this experience when he first coached a big club.

On the contrary, head coach Carlo, who was promoted from Castilla in the 05-06 season, understands the need to deal with big stars, gets along well with the big names in the team, and even negotiates tactics and starting lists with dressing room leaders.

Although his own lack of tactical literacy led to the loss of competitiveness in the league, in the knockout format of the Champions League, Real Madrid's big-name stars repeatedly broke out, saved the team again and again, and finally won the championship.

If Pellegrini wants to manage a big club like Real Madrid, it doesn't mean that he has to bow to the big stars, but at least he must know how to compromise.

If you want to manage an Oiran in the same way that you manage an ordinary skilled woman, it will definitely not work.

On the night of August 19, Ronaldo, Ricardo and Kaka were not in the squad for the match. The explanation given by Manuel Pellegrini was that they were injured.

As for why the three of them were injured together, there is no comment.

Ronaldo, along with Ricardo and Kaka, also unanimously stated in an interview that he was indeed injured and could not play. As for whether others believe it or not, it doesn't really matter. There are some things that can be done but cannot be said.

Even if everyone knows that you quit the game because you had a falling out with the manager, you have to say that you withdrew from the game because of an injury.

Otherwise, the club's hierarchy may put the board on the players in order to maintain the authority of the head coach.

As for the other two Brazilians, Marcelo and Baptista, they are still a little lower and not suitable for getting involved in the battle between the big names and the manager, so they did not "miss due to injury", but honestly sat on the bench.

Manuel Pellegrini continued to line up in the 4231 formation today, with no change in goalkeeper and defender, and in midfield, the midfield partnership became Diarra and Sneijder, left winger Drenthe, right winger Robben, forward Raul, and single striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

The Dutch took the place of the Brazilian Gang.

Sevilla also made adjustments, the formation was also 4231, and their top scorer Kanute played as a single striker.

Manuel Pellegrini is looking forward to a big win.

However, only in the 17th minute, Poulsen knocked the ball across and Renato pushed the empty net in front of the goal, giving Sevilla a 1-0 lead.

But Pellegrini didn't worry for long. In the 24th minute, Real Madrid attacked, Sneijder distributed the ball to Drenthe, who burst into the box line and fired a cold arrow, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the ground and crossed the goal line.

In the 30th minute, Renato scored twice with a header past Casillas.

In the 38th minute, Pepe was not only warned by a yellow card for a handball foul when he was competing for the top, but also gave the opponent a penalty, Canute deceived Casillas to score the ball, and Sevilla led 3:1.

At this time, Real Madrid was only one goal behind on aggregate, and it was not hopeless that they could win the reversal with only two goals.

And in the 43rd minute, Cannavaro took advantage of a free kick opportunity and headed hard to save a point for his team.

Manuel Pellegrini sees a silver lining.

Although he doesn't care about this championship, it's a good thing to have multiple championships after all.

And last year, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 3-2 in the UEFA Super Cup to win the championship, and if he led the team to lose at home, wouldn't he be regarded as inferior to Capello?

Manuel Pellegrini still had a hand in command and dispatch on the spot, and he did not rush up front to equalise, but replaced Guti and Baptista successively to strengthen his control of the midfield.

Real Madrid played well at one point. However, in the 82nd minute, Pepe made a mistake in defense, and he stopped the ball directly at the feet of Canute, who scored an empty goal.

In the 90th minute, Pepe received a second yellow card and went off the field, Sevilla sent a quick free kick, Poulsen crossed the ball from the left, Kanute outflanked it at the back point, easily pushed the goal, and rewrote the score to 5:2.

Real Madrid suffered a narrow defeat at home and handed over the Spanish Super Cup title.

In the post-match press conference, reporters asked Pellegrini: "Why did you abandon Ronaldo, Licardo and Kaka? Especially Ronaldo and Ricardo, who scored a goal each in the last game to help Real Madrid win, why were they abandoned this time and didn't even enter the squad? ”

Pellegrini said with a blank face: "They are all wounded. ”

The reporter chased after him: "Are they really hurt?" ”

Pellegrini blurted out: "How do I know, you should go and ask them." ”
