Chapter Seventy-Five, Bernabeu Stadium

Agusli, who also returned from vacation, looked like other Spanish players, with a strong atmosphere of the festival all over his body, and fortunately, coupled with Bella's positive attitude towards training, Agusli only glanced at him a few times, and did not say anything else.

The midweek match against Real Madrid is very important to the whole team, and Agusli is no exception: when facing Real Madrid, Barcelona and other top teams that many fans follow and belong to almost the world, it not only means more attention, but also a good opportunity to improve the team's cohesion and self-confidence.

This is equivalent to finding a top master to face off, losing is expected, once you win, you can create a big and small legend, which will be talked about and remembered by fans for a long time, the key is that similar opportunities are rare, and they are definitely extremely scarce.

Although Real Madrid won 10-2 against Rayo Vallecano in the last round, the course of the game showed that Real Madrid played very passively when the two sides were evenly matched.

Real Madrid, coached by Rafael Benitez, who has been reported by the media to be out of class, is not only unstable, but also the performance of the BBC is not satisfactory, especially the line-up in successive games has attracted criticism: the midfield interception ability is weak, the gap left after the full-back's assist is too large, and the whole team has not many options when facing solid defensive opponents......

The situation of the opponent made Agusli look arrogant, and he made a bold statement during his pre-match tactical training: "Compared to Real Madrid's B team and their first team, we are not bad, and we will win this game at the Bernabeu Stadium in one fell swoop!" ”

To this end, he has made targeted deployment and training for his players, such as the coordinated defense of the two midfielders and the back line against the BBC who likes to play alone, the focus on the passer of Cristiano Ronaldo in the wing position, and the single midfield formation that Real Madrid may pose, Agusli stressed to Qu Jing that he must break through boldly, whether it is against Modric or Kroos......

In the pre-match press conference, a reporter from Madrid's local newspaper "As" asked Benitez a very sharp question: Have you lost the trust of the dressing room? Is it true that the players want a new manager to take them into 2016?

Benitez did not look upset when asked by the newspaper As, replying calmly: "The fans are as supportive and trustworthy as ever, the morale of the players is high, we just got a big win before the holiday, we are in perfect shape. As for the rumors, we don't care, the media like to produce news, but in fact, a lot of things don't happen. At the Christmas dinner the other day, I talked to Amancio about the old Real Madrid Stadium and he reminded me of what Di StΓ©fano said: 'Attitude and hard work are the most important thing, and the results will follow'. The team understands that, so we will still show the same attitude as before in today's game. ”

But later, when the "Mirror" reporter asked him what he thought of the question of "Mourinho has reached an agreement with Florentino", Benitez, a native of Madrid, rarely lost his temper: "I am only in charge of the team, you should ask Florentino about this issue, as for Mourinho or Ancelotti, to hell with it!" ”

His uncooperative attitude annoyed the reporters of the media, who simply focused on the topic of the change of manager, so much so that Benitez refused to answer any questions and walked away......

On the other hand, Agusli was much quieter, and in the face of questions from the media, he also said a lot of good things for his colleagues: "Both the media and the fans are always cheering for the performance of the players on the field, but in fact, the coach is facing a lot of pressure. When the team has a situation, the finger will be pointed at the head coach, but the head coach can't seem to find a more reasonable way to digest it except to bear it, except that he should not complain about the media......"

In response to the discord at the pre-match press conference, the fans at the Bernabeu Stadium seemed to be united, both Real Madrid fans and Real Sociedad fans who came from afar, showing great enthusiasm.

The shouts of the more than 80,000 fans at the stadium were not the same as the more than 30,000 fans at the Anoeta Stadium, but it was not necessarily bad news for Real Sociedad – the Santiago Bernabeu was always booing the home players, and if they did not perform well, the tens of thousands of fans were likely to turn back.

As Agusli predicted before the game, Real Madrid's formation and starting line-up have not changed much, due to injuries to Raphael Varane and Carvajal, the back four is still Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe and Danilo, Modric sits in the middle as a single midfielder, J Ronaldo and Klos are on the left and right, and the BBC is forward as usual.

Agusli set up a 4-2-1-2-1 formation: Ilia Ramendi and Sans played in the back two, with Qujing being placed in an attacking front, Canales and Vela on the left and right, and Agureche up front as a lone arrow.

Although he had an unpleasant experience at Real Madrid, his former teammates hugged him warmly when Canales came out, and the fans at the Bernabeu stood up and gave him a long-lasting applause.

Faced with this scene, Canales was a little emotional, he remembered that a few years ago, when he was injured, it was also here, the scene where his former Real Madrid teammates prayed for him on their jerseys when they played, and he raised his hands to wave to the fans, and he couldn't help but have red circles under his eyes.

Qu Jing and Bella comforted their best friend in due time, and they patted Canales on the shoulder, so that Canales could calm down a little.

At kick-off, Qu Jing smiled and whispered to Canales: "I will do my best to create opportunities for you to score a goal at the Bernabeu." ”

Canales was noncommittal about his apparent joking intentions, and as the game progressed, Qu Jing became more and more aware of the possibility.

I don't know if it's because of the holidays, or if the Real Madrid players are really tired of Benitez, they obviously don't feel like they're in the best competitive condition, and most of them don't seem to be very active in running and scrambling.

Ronaldo habitually rushed to the front and became four attackers with the BBC, and Real Madrid's 10 players except the goalkeeper formed the same formation on the field.

This surprised Qu Jing, who had been observing the position of the opposing player on the field: "I'm X, isn't this the legendary two!" ”
