Chapter 734: It's a Fact!

"Southampton launched a quick counter-attack at the back, Varane's long pass is of very high quality, it depends on Hazard's stoppage!"

"Beautiful! Hazard's beautiful pick was better than Ramos, who was following up. ”

"Three to two, good chance!"

"What will he do?"

The emotions of everyone in the entire St Mary's stadium were aroused, and countless fans were so nervous that they had already stood up from their seats, almost holding their breath to look at the pitch and look at Hazard.

saw that after the Belgian picked Ramos, although the Spanish central defender quickly adjusted his focus and hurriedly pounced again, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be as agile as Hazard.

'Eden Hazard crossed diagonally to the right, Suarez followed, received the ball and slammed it ......"

"Beautiful, deduct Pepe, pass again, Ibrahimovic, hit the goal, the ball goes in!"

“goaLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”

With the long roar of the on-site commentator, the entire St. Mary's Stadium also let out a deafening cheer, and countless Saints fans rushed out of their seats excitedly, chanting Ibrahimovic's name!

"It's wonderful, Southampton's goal is wonderful!"

"The combination of three players in a row is a testament to the individual quality of the Southampton players!"

"And Raphael Varane, this kick from the back, more than 70 meters of accurate long passes, makes people wonder if he can't have a satellite positioning system installed on the ball, right? Otherwise, how could it be transmitted so accurately? ”

The big screen in the stadium was replaying the entire goal process repeatedly, and everyone saw with their own eyes how the players of Southampton relied on their super individual ability to completely play the two central defenders of Real Madrid.

In that instant, how calm and rational the three players were!

The enthusiasm of the whole St. Mary's stadium was brought out by Ibrahimovic's goal!

When all the fans in the stadium chanted the name of the Swedish centre-forward, Ibrahimovic? His teammates hugged each other, but instead of rushing out of the stadium to celebrate, they waved to their teammates and signaled them to hurry back and prepare.

"Yes, everyone knows that Ibrahimovic is 32 years old and has some more than enough strength to cope with the high-intensity and intense competition of the Premier League, but in the Champions League this season, the Swedish centre-forward has shown his super form and sacrifice and dedication."

"He said before that in his career, when he was destined to miss out on the World Cup and the European Championship because of his nationality, he wanted to win the Champions League the most.

"And this season, it's his last chance!"

"So, we can see that he is working very hard in every game in the Champions League!"

"It's not just him, we can also look at Kaka, who is also very diligent and has performed quite well, and another veteran Drogba has also played in the Champions League group stage, and he is also full of strong wins**."

"We have every reason to believe that with Southampton's performance, they definitely have a chance to win the Champions League!"

While the commentators were celebrating Southampton's opener, rejoicing that the game was likely to be exciting because of the goal, Florentino sat in the chairman's stand, with a depressed face.

In terms of investment, Real Madrid can be called the first in the world.

In terms of lineup, the Galaxy Battleship is definitely the strongest lineup in the world.

Even head coach Carlo Ancelotti is also a top coach in the world.

It can be said that all the resources that Real Madrid currently has are the best and strongest in the world.

But why, such a combination can't put together the strongest team in the world?

At least, the two legs of the Madrid derby this season were beaten by Atletico Madrid, and they didn't take much advantage against Barcelona, and now, against Southampton, they are playing so badly.

Even, if they are eliminated by Southampton, then ......

Florentino felt depressed and distressed, but more often than not.

He knows better than anyone what the reason is, but he can't do it, he doesn't have the courage, he doesn't have the determination to change.

Yang Huan just stood up to applaud and congratulate the players for their wonderful performance, and when he sat down, he turned his head sideways and noticed Florentino's depressed expression, he knew it in his heart, and sighed.

"What is such a good thing in this world? How can it be so easy to win, to win beautifully, and to pile up a lot of superstars? ”

Florentino also smiled bitterly, "The main thing is that we lack the soil to allow players to make mistakes!" ”

It's true!

Southampton's current squad is also star-studded, in terms of squad strength, let alone in the Premier League, even if it is put on the European stage, it is definitely enough to calm the scene.

The problem is that Southampton didn't spend much money on it, and the same group of players who were receptive to playing under Bielsa's tactics allowed the Saints to better integrate this group of stars into a single group.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, it is difficult to do this, no matter who the manager is.

The reason probably lies in the club's management and team philosophy, which is to let the superstar override the team as a whole.

The same Gareth Bale had to be actively involved in pressing and counter-attacking on the spot when he was at Southampton, but at Real Madrid it was up to him.

The reason is simple, Southampton will not allow Gareth Bale to rise above the team as a whole.

Not only the Welshman, but even Swedish centre-forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as the team's number one centre-forward, cannot rise above head coach Bielsa.

And it's like Eden Hazard.

The Belgian winger was first targeted by Real Madrid, Zidane has solemnly recommended Hazard to Florentino many times, and the media has repeatedly spread the news that Real Madrid will sign Hazard in advance.

But in the end, the Belgian switched to Southampton, why?

Because Real Madrid only needs superstars!

Real Madrid's management believes that Hazard has great potential, but at that time he was not yet able to play for Real Madrid's first team, and even if he joined the team, he would only waste time on the bench.

So, their choice at the time was to continue to watch, even if Hazard were to move to Southampton.

As long as the Belgian can become a top superstar, no matter how much money is spent, Real Madrid can bring in as long as they want.

This is Real Madrid's business strategy!

But it's easy for them to forget one thing, and that's the risks and costs of transfers!

Hazard came to Southampton as a semi-finished product, it can be said that Southampton created and further cultivated Hazard, so the Saints have a certain amount of grace for him, and when he came to the Saints, the team is this style of play, he is used to it, so he will try to adapt to Bielsa's tactical play.

But if he had gone to Real Madrid, it would have been a different story.

With Hazard's current performance, going to Real Madrid is definitely going to be a superstar's value and influence, and he and the team behind him will naturally ask for superstar treatment when the time comes.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale don't have to be involved in the front court, so why should I?

They can get such a high salary, why can't I?

Oh, they can be respected in the team and enjoy special treatment, but I can't? So what kind of superstar am I?

So, in the final analysis, the superstar policy is the biggest crux of Real Madrid!

But in other words, is it true that the superstar policy is abolished and Real Madrid is liberated?

From a competitive point of view, this is true, but from the perspective of club management, it is a kind of self-defeating martial arts, because without superstars, Real Madrid would no longer be Real Madrid!

It can be said that in the years that Florentino has been at the helm of Real Madrid, when Real Madrid, a golden signboard, has swept the world and become the sports club with the highest brand value in the world, the superstar effect has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

As for Florentino, don't think he's a fool.

Zidanegavon's policy proposed by him back then, to a certain extent, is indeed quite reasonable and quite promising to succeed, because his policy cannot simply be attributed to superstars in the front field and local youth training in the backfield.

This is a simple one-size-fits-all understanding, not reality, and the specific operation of reality is more complex.

Or it can be said that in Florentino's plan, it is an organic combination of superstar policy and the overall operation of the team, Zidane represents business, and Pavon represents a talent promotion and development channel.

But perhaps because this plan was a little too idealistic, or because the factions and interests within Real Madrid were too complicated, in short, this plan was ultimately stillborn, and Florentino never mentioned it after entering the palace.

But it doesn't mean you don't do it.

In fact, Real Madrid has been working on bringing in homegrown players and a number of semi-finished products in the past few years, and has also produced first-line stars such as Robinho, Ramos, Marcelo and Di Maria.

This in itself cannot be said to be a policy failure.

Even, if you look at the current Barcelona, isn't it also sticking to such a route?

So, there is no problem with the route, there is no problem with the direction, and the problem is the person who executes!

Thinking of this, looking at Florentino's worried face, Yang Huan was also very embarrassed in his heart.

Even the president of Real Madrid will be worried about being scored in the opening ten minutes, how much pressure is there on this team from top to bottom?

Perhaps, the real problem of Real Madrid lies not in anything else, but precisely in the membership system.

This membership system has led to the fact that the president of Real Madrid must do everything possible to curry favor with members, fans and representatives of major interests within the club for votes, so there is a superstar policy.

The emergence of the superstar policy has further promoted this impetuous mood, and even led to an increasingly irrational demand within the fans and clubs, which further intensified and promoted this impetuousness, turning into a vicious circle.

The result now is that all the people in this vicious circle are well-dressed and envied on the surface, but in reality?

Every day, every person, is burdened with extremely heavy pressure in life, at work, in competition, in training.

The biggest enemy of such a team is no longer the opponent on the field, but their own demons.

Therefore, throughout the past few years, Real Madrid is prone to some crashing games, and it will also cause many players who have performed quite well in other teams to come to Real Madrid, and immediately have a lot of stupid mistakes, which are reprimanded as parallel goods by fans and media.

But when they left Real Madrid, they quickly put in an amazing performance.

I'm afraid this is not without reason!

As if to confirm Yang Huan's thoughts in the chairman's stand, the Real Madrid players on the field once again made a mistake that should not have happened.

But Southampton caught it again!
