Chapter Seventy-Five. Upcoming plays

Seeing Frank de Boer walking into the office in a good mood, Armand was a little strange, how could he turn his head and be in such a good mood when he looked sad just now?

Frank de Boer didn't sell it either, telling Armand what had just happened in the dressing room.

"That's what a big brother should do, and although Babbel isn't too old, he's an old man in this team!"

Armand was a little surprised, but more relieved. Babbel has been reticent since returning to the team, has not communicated with his team-mates, and has even been a little out of the team's tactics, which shows that he is still willing to reintegrate into the group.

"Now we have to think about the next game, facing the old rival Real Madrid, this game is not easy to play!"

Frank de Boer frowned, during this time he was mainly thinking about the Champions League game, some teams in the league may be difficult to deal with, but at least they will not exceed that line, but Ajax, who was divided into the Champions League group of death, faced opponents who exceeded that line.

The so-called line is actually absolute strength, and when faced with this situation where his absolute strength is always at a disadvantage, the test is De Boer's coaching ability.

"Judging by the current situation, our coaching team estimates that Real Madrid should send their rotation lineup in the next game!"

Armand pulled a document out of his folder and handed it to De Boer.

This material is a specific report on Real Madrid's last round of the league, and because Real Madrid suffered two consecutive defeats in the league, Mourinho, who did not dare to slack off, had to send all the main players to the field, so it is conceivable that the opponent will definitely not be the main force in this game in the case of two matches in a week.

"That's barely good news!"

Frank de Boer smiled wryly.

……

Madrid.

Looking at the training taking place on the pitch, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho's face was gloomy.

Real Madrid's position is probably one of the most stressful in the world of football, with the most discerning fans, the most dictator-pointers and the world's best stars. It's easier said than done to manage a team like this.

The team's previous two consecutive defeats have put Barcelona ahead by as much as 8 points, and after this Champions League, there will be a national derby, which can be said to be very critical for Real Madrid and him, if the Champions League wins in a row, the national derby beats Barcelona, then the situation is still under control. But if one of these two games is lost, especially in the national derby, then the situation could be worse.

At this time, there was a change on the field, and Kaka, who was wearing the shirt that symbolized the main goal, stood in place after the ball was broken, watching the substitute team pass the ball into his own half, but he had no intention of returning to the defense.

A wave of anger directly surged into Mourinho's heart, and he scolded Kaka on the field mercilessly: "Back to defense? What are you doing in a daze? ”

Kaka froze on the field, a haze flashing across his face, and then slowly ran back to his court.

Looking at Kaka's lazy appearance, Mourinho was furious, but reason told him that the scolding just now was the limit, and if he went too far, it might cause other incidents.

Forcing himself to calm down, Mourinho squinted at Kaka on the field, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his heart.

If Kaka was still in his plan when he first came to Real Madrid, then after Kaka's concealment of injury to participate in the World Cup was exposed, not only did he need to recuperate for so long, but also completely disrupted his plan, which made his perception of Kaka plummet.

By now, Kaka has become a hot potato, bought at such a high price, you can't do without it, but Mourinho really doesn't like Kaka's slow pace and passive defensive attitude on the pitch after a serious injury.

So he can only start Kaka when the team meets a relatively weak team. It just so happens that Ajax is a weaker team in the eyes of Mourinho, and it happens to be the Champions League, so it can always gag some people's mouths.

Speaking of which, he is still a little lucky, fortunately the opponent in this round of matches is the weakest team in this group, otherwise, this lineup would be really nerve-wracking.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Mourinho has already focused on the next national derby with Barcelona, playing Ajax, and the rotation lineup can also win easily.

……

"I heard that you are going to play Real Madrid in the Champions League?"

A familiar voice came from the phone, that tone, indescribable envy.

"What's the matter, it sounds like you're envious."

The moment he received Pogba's call, Li Lin knew that this guy must be a little unbearable and lonely, although Juventus protected and cultivated him in various ways, but too little playing time still made Pogba feel a little unhappy, especially seeing Li Lin playing better and better in the Eredivisie, Ravel seemed to be reborn, and he was even more anxious in the Premier League.

"I can't kick the ball, I can't use my energy. It's been so long since the start of the season that I've only started once, do you think I can't be in a hurry? ”

Pogba said a little unhappily, he can also say these words to Li Lin.

"Don't worry, as the season goes on, you will definitely have more opportunities to play, and if Juventus, who are fighting in the third line, can't give you more playing time, I think it may not be the team's reason, but your reason."

Li Lin knows very well how difficult it is to start at a big club, at least for now, it seems that Pogba is still developing in a good direction.

'You don't have to envy me, maybe you'll start the Champions League final or semi-final, but Ajax have already been knocked out, right? That's when I could only watch you on TV! ”

Li Lin's comfort made Pogba feel a little better, and his tone became relaxed.

"Well, do you have the confidence to play Real Madrid, if you can put on the same performance as Borussia Dortmund in the last game against Real Madrid, then you are really famous!"

Pogba said a little jokingly that Raiola also told him about the specific situation after Li Lin's shine last time. He was also sincerely happy for Li Lin.

"Famous? What's the use of being famous, if you don't have the strength, it's actually difficult to live up to the fame, so I will play my ball steadily, and not being famous is not my goal. ”

"Speak human words!"

"I don't have much confidence... In the last game against Borussia Dortmund, we were pressed for almost the whole game and couldn't fight back. ”

Thinking about that game now, Li Lin can feel the almost suffocating pressure, which is not the pressure that a team in the domestic arena can bring to them, there is no comparison.
