Chapter 3 People's hearts fluctuate
"Chilean engineers descend on Real Madrid!"
"Florentino's first signing of the summer was not a player, not a superstar, but ...... The new helmsman of the Galaxy Battleship - Manuel. Pellegrini! β
"Real Madrid paid Villarreal a liquidated fee of up to 6 million euros, and the meritorious manager of the small town was able to successfully join the La Liga giants, and his annual salary after tax reached 3.5 million!"
"It's a piece of news that shook the whole of the Iberian Peninsula and everyone thought that Florentino would make a big news after the transfer window opened, but they didn't expect it to be - well, we have to admit, it was really a big flash, Real Madrid brought the soul of Villarreal to the Bernabeu!"
"Under the new helmsman, will the Galactic Battleship be able to regain its strength? And after losing the team's most important soul, where will Villarreal go? β
Soon, the confirmed news was like wings, lingering throughout Spain, and almost all sports media were talking about Pellegrini's "transfer" to Real Madrid.
After the end of the league, the period of time since the opening of the transfer market window, the football world seemed a little silent, and the news suddenly revealed made fans feel more excited, and there were more after-dinner conversations.
Real Madrid's exclusive mouthpiece, Marca, welcomed the Chilean coach who led the country side Villarreal to great results in their report, with the headline "It's a win-win!" β
The article reads: "For the Chilean coach who has the ability and the desire to win the championship and succeed, it is a huge challenge and a big stage to take up the coaching whip of Real Madrid, where he will have more excellent players and more financial funds, and he can build a real championship team according to his wishes."
For Real Madrid, due to the strong rise of Barcelona in recent years, they have always been suppressed in the league, and Pellegrini's coaching ability is exactly what the White Army needs. It's no secret that the most discerning fans in the world are Real Madrid fans, and Manuel Pellegrini is a great coach who has the ability to play good attacking football and win β let me use the word 'great', and although the Chilean hasn't won a big trophy, he deserves that accolade for what he's done in Villarreal.
The most important thing is that there was no champion before, but in the future, who can say for sure? Perhaps, from the moment of arrival at the Bernabeu, Pellegrini will create their new glory together with his Real Madrid! β
Marca newspaper has a hint of "Lang has a concubine", and it is true that Pellegrini wants to be the starting point on the road to success by coaching a big team, and Real Madrid also needs a manager who has the ability to lead the team to continuous victories, and the two can be said to be a perfect fit.
However, at the end of the article, Marca expressed some apologies to Villarreal for the loss of their manager: "In the season that just ended, Villarreal unfortunately lost the top four places in the league in a good situation, and before that, they were unfortunately blocked out of the Champions League final. In the league and in Europe, the Yellow Submarine can be said to have ushered in a two-line rout.
It was a difficult time for Villarreal, but even in such a difficult situation, they still lost their meritorious manager. I think it's a big blow to the fans in the small town.
But the world of football is like that, always full of competition and brutality.
Villarreal may struggle without Manuel Pellegrini, but there is still plenty of time ahead of them and they should be able to find a suitable replacement for the team in the intervening period β Villarreal are a team with a lot of potential, and hopefully they can survive the toughest years and allow the yellow whirlwind to continue to sweep across the Iberian continent. β
Although his "proprietor" seems to have poached someone else's helmsman a little unkindly, Marca still thanked the reasonable Villarreal board management and sent blessings to the small town team.
However, the comments and reports of other media have changed a little, and they are somewhat suspicious of watching the excitement or falling into the ground.
Le Monde Sport: "Villarreal used to be a team on the brink of relegation, and all of that turned it upside down when Manuel Pellegrini arrived in the town. Now that he has left with his seal, the yellow submarine will most likely be beaten back to its original shape! β
El EspaΓ±a: "The most important player for Villarreal is not Riquelme, not Diego. Fran, not even their king...... Fan! Yes, this is a team that belongs to the Chileans, and now that the soul is gone, only the shell remains, and the fall of Villarreal seems to be at hand! β
Iberian Evening News: "The disintegration of Villarreal is just around the corner! β¦β¦ Of course, we are not surprised by this result at all, because this is the sadness of the small club! They can't keep their stars, they can't keep their big ambitions...... Famous! β
Daily Sport: "The team that can play football as flashy as Barcelona may disappear from the eyes of fans all over the world!" β
β¦β¦
The news of Pellegrini joining Real Madrid has brought about a chain reaction that does not stop there, for Villarreal, who has lost a meritorious manager, the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, nothing more.
In fact, if the manager leaves alone, the club will not be very passive, because Pellegrini has already communicated with the club before this, and made it clear that he is likely to leave at the end of the season, and after no success, Villarreal decided to part ways peacefully with the Chilean manager, so they have long been looking for a new suitable replacement around the world.
Pellegrini's importance to the club is self-evident, it can be said that without him, there would be no such yellow submarine that can even make Real Madrid and Barcelona repeatedly deflated, his departure will definitely bring a lot of pain to the team, but if there is enough time to find a qualified successor, according to the team skeleton built by Pellegrini, and a group of excellent players remaining, Villarreal's performance will not be too bad, at least there will be no danger of relegation.
However, the club's senior management obviously underestimated the importance of Pellegrini to the team, and they knew that Pellegrini's "job hopping" would cause instability within the team, but they did not expect that this instability had reached the level of an uproar, which can be called a magnitude 9 earthquake.
In fact, when Pellegrini announced the end of the league and the team announced the end, he informed the players of the fact that he was leaving, and the players were shaken hard at that time, and now, the aftermath is really revealed.
Shortly after the news of Pellegrini's move to Real Madrid was revealed in the media, Spain's sports newspaper was dominated by the latest gossip.
"Diego. Fran: He was shocked and disappointed by Mr. Manuel's choice! He thinks that there seems to be no reason for him to stay in the town anymore, because the person who admires him has already left! β
"Atletico Madrid vs young Uruguayan centre-back Diego. Godin is full of interest, and they also seem to be in private contact with Uruguayan striker Forlan, who seem to be looking to make a big splash in the Champions League after qualifying for next season's Champions League! They want Villarreal's pair of Uruguayan twins! β
"Godin: I don't have the idea of leaving here, but football is like that, you never know what's going to happen in the next moment. All I can say is that anything is possible! β
"Roman has already rejected Villarreal's offer and he has already embarked on a flight to Argentina. The last master of the classical midfield in world football, next season, we will never see him again! β
"Arsenal have their eye on Santiago. Cazorla, Arsene Wenger said his team is in need of such an all-round player with a balance between attack and defence! Of course, the professor also seems to be interested in Fan, and according to the staff inside the submarine, Arsenal is already asking about Fan's sale price! β
"Turkish giants Fenerbahce want to bring their national hero Nihat back to Turkey, but Nihat said he wants to stay here until he retires! No matter how many people leave, he will stick to the town as always, because some people may leave, but those who stay will continue to fight here with their dreams! β
β¦β¦
Almost every moment, there is news in the newspapers about Villarreal players, either a team has a crush on a player or a player is thinking of leaving.
During this period of time, Villarreal seemed to be like a supermarket that had just opened, waiting for customers to buy to their heart's content.
The media reports are overwhelming, some fans are convinced of this, sighing while sighing, and some fans scoff at this, thinking that these reports are all made up, and Villarreal's top management is not stupid, Pellegrini's departure is already a heavy blow, if these pillars of the players are sold, this team will not disintegrate, it will be almost over. If you want to stay in the top flight, no one in their right mind will make a big sale of the team.
