916 Madrid enters a cold winter
Real Madrid is like a giant ship that leaks everywhere, with leaks in the bow and stern, and you don't have time to close the loopholes.
The injury situation in the team is very serious!
The 1-0 defeat to Valladolid was the first time in nearly eight months that Real Madrid failed to score in the league, and the last time they failed to score was only due to sending a substitute to keep the goal in front of their opponents.
What made Real Madrid even worse was that under Valladolid's intensive defense and fierce pressing, Real Madrid, whose strength in the offensive battle was declining day by day, could only rely on rushing and fighting, and finally Robben was injured in the front and went off the field, and Vanney was seriously injured!
Immediately after the game, Vanney's knee injury was not only determined to be reimbursed for the season, but he may even retire, and Vanney immediately took a flight to the United States to seek medical treatment.
The past 20 days have undoubtedly been a nightmare for Real Madrid, the team was beaten twice by Juventus in the Champions League, the Copa del Rey was defeated by the third division team Real Federation, the league results were not ideal, the victory was in hand but was forced to draw by Almeria, the victory over Malaga relied on a reversal, a humiliating loss to Valladolid, and Barcelona was thrown away by as many as 5 points.
Real Madrid, who were considered the strongest in Europe last season, and were even predicted to dominate European football for three or five years, seemed to be on the verge of falling apart under everyone's unexpected attention.
In the post-match press conference after the defeat to Valladolid, for the first time, a journalist asked Bosque: "Will Real Madrid sack you?" ”
Even the boss who brought Real Madrid to new heights last season is in a crisis of confidence after a nightmare of almost a month.
The media are aware of Real Madrid's style of action and will not give the manager too much patience and time. There was a slight upheaval in the record. That will inevitably lead to a monstrous crisis!
In fact, the Real Madrid hierarchy did already have the idea of changing the manager.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are clubs. It is most in line with the rules of the game of "European and American political circles".
When the crisis comes, it is necessary to shift the blame and find a substitute for the dead.
If the president disagrees with the people, then replace the president, and if the president does not want to step down, then divert the attention of the people or shirk the responsibility and find a scapegoat.
Whether it's Calderón or Laporta, in a similar situation, there is no right or wrong choice. Only the situation that has to do it is compelled to do so!
Just like Capello sacked last season, Calderón needs to sit in the chairmanship, at least not being attacked by fans and members now, and he needs to make the manager a scapegoat and find a new manager to soothe the anger of the fans and make the fans look forward to the new manager and have a quiet time.
Daily Sport reports that Bosque will not be immediately out of his job, and the club's board intends to give him another time to prove himself, and if there is no improvement by January next year, Real Madrid will use the winter break to complete the change of manager. Negotiators have already made early contact with Rijkaard and Ramos.
Rijkaard was surprisingly at the top of the list. As the former coach of the "sworn enemy" Barcelona, Rijkaard is naturally a natural enemy of Real Madrid. But his Dutch roots will help him level out the dressing room, which now has five Dutch players in the room.
Bosque's oversight was blamed for the lack of security in the dressing room, Ramos publicly bombarded the team's tactics of not having a full-time right midfielder, in fact, complaining that Robben was no longer as committed to the defensive end as he was last season, and Guti bluntly said after the game with Juventus that the team lacked fighting power and did not have a sense of unity, and his words made the relationship between the Spanish and Dutch gangs strained.
After the loss to Juventus, there was even a pessimism in the team, and many discordant voices surfaced, and even Raul was once again regarded by the media as the team's ball bully
Of course, it may be wishful thinking to expect Rijkaard to go to the dressing room of Real Madrid, and the important reason for Rijkaard's "dismissal" at Barcelona is that the dressing room is out of control. The media thought it would be better to move to AC Milan to replace Carlo Ancelotti, at least Rijkaard would not have to bear the pressure of public opinion to defect to the enemy camp, and the prestige that the Dutchman had built up at the San Siro as a player would also help him to carry out his work. In addition, Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League also threw an olive branch to Rijkaard.
Time is running out for Bosque, whose atoning period happens to be the "Devil's December" on the schedule, with back-to-back games against Valencia, Barcelona, Sevilla and Villarreal.
To add insult to injury, Real Madrid is being hit by a massive wave of injuries, and Robben and Ruud van Nistelrooy have basically said goodbye to 2008 ahead of schedule!
When the FIFA match day arrived in November, Qin Xiong still did not return to China to participate in the game, during this period, he trained alone at the training base, and he had already started training with the ball.
The coaching staff is very happy with his injury recovery, Qin Xiong's foundation is good, he usually pays attention to physical care, and the most important thing is that his mentality in the face of injury is also one of the important reasons to help him recover quickly.
After the FIFA matchday, Real Madrid host Huelva at home.
In the 12th round of La Liga, Bosque won a rare victory, and he himself escaped death and got a respite.
But for Real Madrid, the victory came at a bit of a cost: the victory over Huelva, who were struggling in the relegation zone, cost Real Madrid two injuries, with midfielder Sneijder Sneijder and striker Gonzalo Higuain both out injured, and Real Madrid's injury list was further expanded.
To make matters worse, Higuain's injury has made the already stretched forward line even more strained, and the commentator lamented after Higuain's departure: "If Higuain's injury is confirmed, the Blancos will probably have to send Butragueno out for next week's match against Borisov Bat in Belarus." ”
Sneijder was the most dangerous Real Madrid player of the game and it was he who scored the only goal of the game, but in the 65th minute of the second half, he had to leave early due to injury, and Bosque replaced him with Van der Vaart.
Sneijder was tackled in the opposition half and looked like he could recover at first, but in the end he couldn't hold on and had to leave early.
Sneijder was examined shortly after the game and the team doctor said that Sneijder had a slight injury to the triceps muscle in his right calf, but should have no problem playing in the Champions League next week.
Sneijder's injury is not serious, and Real Madrid's midfield is also rich, even if he is out, it is not too much of a problem for Real Madrid.
The problem was Higuain's injury, and although the Argentine missed a few chances in this game, he was still better than his striker partner Raul in terms of full-game performance, and the Real Madrid captain almost disappeared in this game, but Higuain attacked the opposition defence.
However, in the 76th minute, something happened that Bosque did not want to see: Higuain sprained his left ankle in a tackle, and the Argentine lay on the ground, unable to continue.
Bosque had to replace Higuain with Saviola, who was lying on a stretcher, crying with his hands over his face, and his painful appearance was extremely worrying.
What makes people laugh and cry is that the stretcher truck also broke down, delaying the rescue.
Real Madrid's injury curse continues, and now Sneijder and Gonzalo Higuain, two of the biggest contributors to the team's attack, have been added to the injury list.
At the end of the game, the commentator said: "Real Madrid won, but two of the team's heavyweights have gone down, and now we just hope their injuries are not as they seem, especially Higuain." The three points from the win over Huelva were a morale boost for Real Madrid, although there were also boos and handkerchiefs at the Bernabeu. ”
General manager Mijatovic said after the game: "The attitude of the team is good, the players are fighting as hard as they can, but unfortunately Higuain is injured and now it remains to be seen how his injury is. ”
The warmth of spring in Madrid seems to have suddenly entered a cold winter. (To be continued.) )
