Chapter 44: "I Will Not Fire Him"!

Marca newspaper criticised Schuster and Tang Jue by name, saying: "As Real Madrid manager, he should understand the importance of the Spanish national derby. In such an important game, he made such a low-level mistake and replaced the number one star early. This mistake led directly to the game getting out of control, which ruined the good fortune. ”

"Don's mistake was not to control his emotions after going off the pitch, and he should have understood that his words and actions would affect his teammates. Now this team was carefully built for Calderón, for which he sent away Raul, Carlos, Beckenham and other superstars of the Galacticos, and spent 260 million for this summer. ”

"As the star of Real Madrid, he should take more responsibility, set an example and control his emotions. Only then will he be able to lead the team to new brilliance in the second half of the season, fulfilling the promise made at the beginning of the season, helping Real Madrid defend their title in La Liga and bringing Real Madrid fans a tenth Champions League trophy. ”

"He should understand that a united team can win the championship. Now that there is such a serious problem in the Real Madrid dressing room, whoever is to blame should take responsibility for it and help the team get back on track. ”

"It's a disappointment for male fans all over the world, they didn't have the opportunity to see adriana_karembeu post a photo of themselves stripping," said the newspaper As. Real Madrid, with a two-goal lead, were reversed by Barcelona and lost an important national derby. ”

……

Real Madrid fans were deeply disappointed with the defeat in this game. According to the statistics of the newspaper As. Sixty-five per cent of fans believe Schüsterl is to blame for the defeat, 25 per cent think Don is to blame for the defeat, and 10 per cent think Thierry Henry and Ribery are to blame for the defeat.

A number of media outlets began to speculate about Schuster's fate, and "Daily Sports" believes that Schuster's days in charge of Real Madrid have entered the countdown, and Calderon will fire him immediately.

Milan Sport agrees with this view: Schuster has no experience working for the big clubs, and at the same time he has no ability to control them. Under his leadership, Real Madrid have not been able to achieve good results and should be looking for a new coach right away if Calderon wants to make a difference in the Champions League.

Time. Everyone was speculating about when Schuster would get out of class. Some netizens even made a web page to count down Schuster's dismissal.

……

At noon on December 24, Tang Jue, Alice and Fu Yajun sat at the dining table, on which was Alice's elaborate Christmas dinner - turkey. The dining room was filled with the scent of turkey. Alice and Fu Yajun feasted. Tang Jue was a little sullen. The Marca article caused him to think deeply.

Fu Yajun praised Alice while eating, this skill can be used to open a restaurant. Alice was very satisfied with the wine glass and took a sip of the red wine in the glass.

"My dear. What's wrong with you? Yesterday's events are in the past, you don't have to blame yourself, and the responsibility is not all on you. That damn German should take more responsibility. Alice noticed that something was wrong and began to persuade Tang Jue.

Fu Yajun raised his head, looked at Tang Jue, nodded and said, "That's right, Alice is right, that German is the culprit." ”

Tang Jue looked at the two of them, squeezed out a smile, and said, "It's a fact that the game was lost. In fact, I do take responsibility for this game. They were right, I'm the number one star in the team, and I'm responsible for the failures no matter what. ”

"That's what others say -- with great power comes great responsibility."

"I've never shirked my responsibilities. From now on, I will try my best to learn to control my emotions and lead the team to victory! ”

When Tang Jue spoke, he slowly straightened out his thoughts and figured out what he really thought in his heart. He continued: "I think it is a great irony that I told Li Na that I wanted her to learn emotional control, who knew that she had not done a good job, and she was still teaching others. ”

Alice held Tang Jue's hand and said comfortingly: "Okay, dear, I know that you are a responsible person, we should eat now, and other things will be talked about later." ”

Fu Yajun is a curious baby, as soon as she heard Li Na's name, her interest came, she said: "Tang Jue, tell me the story of you and Li Na." I watched the French Open final live on TV. ”

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Jue left home and went to the club. At noon he received a call from Calderón asking him to come to his office in the afternoon. It should come, it will come, the matter has come out, and as the president of the club, Calderón must come forward to solve this thorny problem on his own.

The criticism from the outside world is about to swallow him and Real Madrid. No one likes to live in this atmosphere. For the sake of this afternoon's conversation, he had the newspaper Marca publish the commentary according to his wishes, which can be described as well-intentioned. He wasn't sure if the two of them would be touched after reading the comment.

At half past three in the afternoon, Tang Jue arrived at Calderon's office, and he found that Casillas had already arrived in addition to himself, and was sitting on the sofa talking to Calderón. After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, sitting on the sofa, Calderon looked at Tang Jue and said with a smile: "How is it, did Alice cook a big meal for you?" I've heard that she's doing a good job, so when would you invite me to taste her cooking? ”

Tang Jue replied with a smile: "She roasted a turkey at noon, and it tasted good. I'll invite you the next time I get a chance, but that's with her permission. ”

The atmosphere at the beginning was very good, and the two started talking from home. Casillas said with a smile: "When the time comes, I was forgotten to invite me." ”

Tang Jue nodded and said, "I will definitely invite you." ”

After a few words, Calderon got down to business and became serious.

'There is a lot of criticism coming out of the outside world and as president of the club I have to take responsibility for not bringing the team together and causing this to happen in the dressing room.

Tang Jue shook his head and said, "No, Mr. Chairman. The responsibility is not on you, on us. I didn't control my emotions well last night and it caused problems on the pitch. The comment from Marca this morning was very pertinent and I should have taken more responsibility for the team. ”

As soon as Calderon heard this, joy appeared in the corners of his eyes, and his efforts were not in vain. However, Tang Jue's next words made him unable to be truly happy: "You must say that if you are responsible, that is, you did not choose a good coach for Real Madrid." ”

Calderon's brows furrowed, and Tang Jue actually commented on the coach, and then pointed out that there was a problem with the coach hired by the chairman. This is a big taboo. Touching Calderón's bottom line.

Casillas had a look of shock on his face. He didn't expect Tang Jue to speak like this.

Don didn't care about Calderón's upset, and continued: "Before the game he said that we were going to play long balls and use speed to break down the Barcelona defense. This tactic is correct in general, but on slippery turf. This tactic is just wrong. ”

"You were there last night. You also saw how bad our attack was in the first 10 minutes. This shows that his offensive tactics are problematic. I reminded him before the game. We can penetrate with a quick transition and play a beautiful short pass in front of the Barcelona penalty area, which is more threatening. ”

"It turns out that I was right about the tactics. But. Before the game, he didn't listen to me at all and insisted on going his own way. We had to change our attacking tactics on the field ourselves. ”

Calderon touched his nose and asked Casillas, "Did you start changing tactics on the field a long time ago?" ”

Casillas nodded and said: "The specific time should have started with the match against Bremen." I was still recovering from my injuries at the time and didn't get involved, but I approved of it afterwards. After that, we will change the tactics according to the actual situation of the game. ”

He looked at Calderón and said, "Mr. President, this situation is normal, the purpose of the game is to achieve victory. A lot of great superstars do this a lot in competitions. Zinedine Zidane, for example. ”

"And Don did say before the game last night that his tactics were problematic, but he didn't listen."

Casillas expressed his opinion. Although the final conclusion of the localists was neutral, Casillas is an "ambitious" person, and in his opinion, following Tang Jue, has a better chance of winning the Champions League. In addition, the players adjust their tactics during the game, which is not a big deal in itself. As long as the head coach has a bigger belly, it's too late to be happy, where will he blame his players.

But Calderón thought differently and put himself in Schuster's shoes and said: "Are you doing this with the coach's feelings in mind? It's okay once or twice, but if there are too many times, he will feel very shameless. ”

Tang Jue shook his head and said-for-tat: "If you lose the game, you won't have face." The purpose of our game is to beat the opponent, not to take care of someone's face, to know that they are wrong, and to do what they say. ”

Calderon had a headache when he met someone like Tang Jue, and he always spoke so directly, without saving face.

Tang Jue then said something that shocked the two of them: "If you continue to keep him, we will continue to play in our own way for the sake of victory." But don't worry, the purpose of our game has never changed, it's to beat the opponent. Last night's situation will not happen again. ”

It's already broken, so let's get it straight.

It took Calderón a long time to digest this sentence. Casillas wondered in his heart: Is it because of his personality that he is invincible in the ring?

Calderon looked at Tang Jue and asked word by word, "Do you mean to force me to fire him?" ”

Apparently, he was already angry.

Tang never backed down, and said, "I never asked you to fire him. The football I'm after is the football of the winners, and I think that, you agree. Since we want to win, when he makes mistakes, we should not carry out his tactics. That's my opinion. ”

The scene was deadlocked. Casillas didn't persuade, it had nothing to do with him, whoever he helped with the two people in front of him might offend the other.

Calderón closed his eyes, pondered, and after about a minute, opened his eyes and said: "There must be a reason for dismissal, the team has achieved such good results now, and dismissing him will only give the opponents a handle." Have you ever wondered how risky it is to fire him, and we don't have any reason to do so. ”

It's a conundrum, and Calderón says another: "Who will take over?" Who's coming? Don, who do you think can lead Real Madrid to glory? How many famous marshals are there at home now? So, I'm not going to fire him. ”

Tang Jue shook his head and said: "This is your business, not for me to think about, my responsibility is to help the team win by scoring goals." ”

Calderon has made it clear that he will not sack Schuster. Tang Jue was a little disappointed, and he had to think about what he should do next.

Calderon concluded: "So you have to figure out now what to do next, Schuster will be in charge until the end of the season. You'd better keep the negative news out of it. ”

Calderón's words implied another meaning, that there will be a change of manager next season. Tang Jue and Casillas leave Calderón's office, and Tang Jue invites him to a bar for a seat.

The two then went to a secluded bar and sat in a seat near the window. The waiter gets a bottle of fine red wine. The bar had no other guests than the two of them. It's the Christmas holidays, and people are mostly at home with their families or going to ski resorts for a vacation. (To be continued......)
