Capello's 50-day plan became yet another joke made by Real Madrid.

After a devastated and devastated Madrid mini-derby by the media, Capello began a crisis of confidence at the Bernabeu.

The journalist writes: When will you retire?

Such a report would be supported by a large number of Real Madrid fans.

Just half a month ago, Real Madrid's four-game league winning streak plus the Champions Cup massacre of Dynamo Kiev, the Bernabeu still seemed to be singing and dancing, half a month later, only 1 point in two rounds of the league, the league leader was handed over to Barcelona, and the Bernabeu fell into turmoil again.

This is Real Madrid, forever and the sunny and spring-like Spanish landscape are two worlds, and the next second of the wind and sunshine may be thunder and lightning.

Qin Xiong returned to participate in the preparation for the Bucharest Star Team, and then boarded the plane to the Romanian capital with the team.

8:45 p.m. on October 17.

Real Madrid travels home to Steaua Bucharest.

Qin Xiong sat on the bench and calmly waited for the game to start.

He has just recovered from injury, and Capello did not include him in the starting list for the sake of safety, but planned to respond according to the situation on the field to see if Qin Xiong was needed to play.

Despite the importance of this Champions League match, the league has been winless for two games, and Capello will not say anything about returning to the Bernabeu at the weekend to play the battle of the century against Barcelona, but he knows in his heart that he needs Qin Xiong to play in the game of the century.

"The third matchday of the UEFA Champions League group stage arrives with Steaua Bucharest hosting Real Madrid, with both teams tied on three points. 3 points behind Lyon, who have won both games. The two-legged clash on matchday 3 and 4 will be crucial for both teams. If you play well, you may be able to qualify in advance, for example, if a team kills the opponent twice, then according to the home and away records, 6 points ahead of the opponent will naturally qualify in advance.

Steaua Bucharest started 4411 today.

Goalkeeper: Fernandes.

Defenders: Saban, Goyan, Giyonea, Marin.

Midfielder: Nicolita. Paraschev, Lowen, Bostina.

Forwards: Dika, Badeya.

Real Madrid started 442.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Ramos, Elguera, Cannavaro, Carlos.

Midfielders: Robinho, Diarra, Emerson, Guti.

Forward: Raul. Fanny.

Well, after the kick-off ceremony. The race is about to begin! ”

Real Madrid played with momentum from the start, intercepting and scrambling efficiently, and the Bucharest Stars did not have much of an advantage at home.

It is understandable that Elgra was out of shape in the last game, but with the call-up of Capello to the first team, the dedicated veteran is still gradually returning to the top, and I dare not say that he has returned to the top all the way, but at least it is no problem to return to a normal level.

His centre-back combination with Cannavaro worked well, with Emerson and Diarra forming a barrier in front of the penalty area to ensure that Real Madrid's defence was solid.

Sergio Ramos and Carlos weave up and down the flanks, while Guti and Robinho often move up the midfield to create chances for Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy up front, but they are always submerged in the dense Defence of Steaua Bucharest.

Real Madrid had a good momentum, but unfortunately the attacking tactics were a little rigid, and it was difficult to tear apart the opponent's dense defence.

Qin Xiong sat on the bench and quietly read the game, which was his habit, and it had nothing to do with whether he would play or not.

Capello was unsmiling on the sidelines, but he was a little anxious inside.

Real Madrid today is always compared to Real Madrid a decade ago.

But in fact, ten years ago, Real Madrid didn't even have to play the League Cup, and dedicated themselves to the league, and finally won the throne.

And today?

The Champions League will inevitably become a burden for Capello, and while he has to juggle it, the demands on him have skyrocketed.

Maybe he's the top coach who wins the championship and gets the soft hand.

But his achievements in the Champions League have been unsuccessful other than those won during the Milan dynasty.

In other words, he has been away from the Champions League for more than a decade.

It's impossible to define that he has fallen out of touch with the contemporary Champions League, but at least the reality is that he hasn't shone on this stage for the past decade!

The first half ended 0-0.

The lack of creativity in Real Madrid's attack remains an obvious problem.

Capello asked Qin Xiong to warm up before walking into the locker room, and Qin Xiong put on his vest and warmed up in the court.

What happened in the locker room, Qin Xiong didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

Capello is neither like Koeman, who gives impassioned speeches to motivate the team, nor is it like Arsene Wenger who takes the initiative to decompress his players and reduce the manager's authority.

He is serious, stereotyped, and even proclaims his majesty all the time, so he sometimes disgusts big-name stars, and Qin Xiong is no exception.

Before he made a mistake, no one wanted to be blamed, and he hated the atmosphere of silence with everyone.

Back on the pitch in the second half, Guti was replaced by Qin Xiong, and Robinho was also replaced by Beckham.

Before kicking off, Qin Xiong first walked to Diarra and Emerson, and said to them as usual: "When the midfield controls the ball, try to look at my position and pass the ball to me!" ”

Diara nodded silently, and Emerson did not respond, perhaps relying on the old to sell the old, he disdained the superficial promise, but Qin Xiong could read his eyes.

He agreed.

It's not about subservience to anyone, it's just about cooperating.

If Qin Xiong said this to them two months ago, they must not be convinced!

Over the past two months, however, they have become familiar with Madrid and have come under tremendous pressure from the Spanish media.

Whether it is arrogance or sharpness, it has been suppressed and disappeared.

Now that Qin Xiong said such a thing to them, whether they were holding on to throwing all the responsibility to Qin Xiong, or really understanding Qin Xiong's offensive importance to the team, it didn't matter, as long as they cooperated, it was enough.

After a brief exchange with the double back, Qin Xiong walked to Beckham's side again and said softly: "David, you mainly follow me on the side, try to pull the side, have space to dribble forward, if not, control the ball, give it to me or my teammates behind me." ”

Beckham asked rhetorically: "What is the purpose?" ”

'To create chances for the strikers, we can't just aimlessly pass the ball to the strikers and let them do the two tasks of getting rid of the shots, today the opponent was playing a dense defense and to create great chances you have to be patient.

"Okay, I see."

Qin Xiong patted Beckham on the shoulder and walked back to the back of the halfway line, he had nothing to communicate with Raul, the two had begun to form a tacit understanding in the past some time.

It's just that he didn't realize that after returning from the FIFA match day, Qin Xiong gave outsiders the feeling that he hadn't stepped out of the role of a captain yet.

Beckham glanced at his shoulder with his spare eyes, and the place where Qin Xiong gently patted him was a little inexplicable in his heart. (To be continued......)
