707 "Unblocked"
Although Real Madrid's president Calderón has intended to change the coach, on the one hand, it is out of the consideration of shirking responsibility and letting Capello take the blame, and on the other hand, he also hopes that the team's dressing room will stabilize as soon as possible.
But there are many problems.
First of all, he doesn't have to decide to change the manager alone, he needs to take care of the will of the club's management, and if he invites a successor who everyone else opposes, it would be clearly digging his own grave.
Secondly, Real Madrid has just experienced a fiasco, the Champions League has been recognized by the whole world, this time to change the coach, then the successor will first have to bear the responsibility of the Champions League out, although not big, but at least a little rational coach is unwilling to take responsibility for Capello's poor record.
It's easy to fire Capello, Calderon gives the order, and Capello can roll up and get out.
But who to take over is a big problem for Real Madrid.
After all, the league is still 4 points ahead of Barcelona, and if the result of the change of coach is lost in the Champions League and the league, Real Madrid's chaos may be difficult to end.
After the Champions League matches, European football was scrambling to report on Real Madrid's crushing defeat to AC Milan at the Bernabeu, and Kaka shone in the game, almost leading the game.
He's the brightest star in the game!
Capello is not a broken manager, he can smell the danger of his own from the changing winds at the club's top, but he will not let it go irresponsibly.
After the Champions League match, Real Madrid is about to usher in the Madrid derby!
At Atletico Madrid's home stadium, most of the Real Madrid fans who came to the away stadium held banners to express their protest against Capello and called on the club to "unblock" Qin Xiong and Beckham.
This made Capello very embarrassed at the Calderón Stadium.
Real Madrid were quite bloody in this derby, but unfortunately the technical and tactical aspects were still lackluster, and there was no significant improvement.
The team ended up 1-1 with Atletico Madrid, led by Fernando Torres and Sergio Aguero.
In the same round, Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at home. Narrowed the gap in the Real Madrid points.
Now there is only a 2-point gap between the two teams!
Champions League, Madrid derby.
After two fierce battles in a row, Real Madrid's consumption is extremely serious, and it will be followed by the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, and the opponent is not weak, it is Sevilla.
In the days after the Madrid derby. Many Real Madrid fans pulled up banners in droves to protest outside the club, calling on the team to let Qin Xiong return to the starting line-up!
It is only when the team is in the most critical moment that the forsaken is missed!
Capello was forced to re-select Qin Xiong and David Beckham in the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals due to competitive considerations and external pressure.
March 1, at the Bernabeu Stadium.
After a lapse of two and a half months, Qin Xiong once again appeared on the field wearing the Real Madrid jersey.
In this Copa del Rey game, because the team as a whole had consumed too much before, Qin Xiong did not deliberately speed up the pace of the game after becoming a front midfielder, but controlled the game at a slow pace most of the time.
Then he used the tempo change as a means to suddenly launch an attack to threaten Sevilla's goal.
Slow-paced. Real Madrid's overall defense is still relatively stable, which is psychologically stable from the inside out.
Sevilla, on the contrary, is a bit aggressive, quite a posture of beating the water dogs, and wants to take advantage of the unstable performance of the Real Madrid army to take advantage of the fire.
Qin Xiong and Xiaobei played vigorously in the game, after all, the two had not played for a long time, and there was absolutely no problem in terms of energy.
In the 36th minute of the first half, Qin Xiong suddenly broke through with a personal dribble in the midfield, leading the offensive to Sevilla's back line and pulling out the space before and after giving Robinho an assist. It was the latter who smashed a shot into the far corner of the penalty area.
Real Madrid opened the scoring 1-0 lead.
The score was not safe, and the reason for the lack of insurance was that if Sevilla equalised. Real Madrid will still be eliminated.
The format of the Copa del Rey is very similar to that of the Champions League knockout rounds, with home and away goal advantage having a huge impact on the outcome of a match.
Because of this, after the start of the second half, Sevilla attacked aggressively, and Qin Xiong seized the opportunity to counterattack for a long-distance attack.
68th minute of the game. Qin Xiong was knocked down in front of the penalty area and Real Madrid won a free-kick.
Qin Xiong wanted to relieve the pain of being kicked, so he gave up the opportunity to take the free kick to Beckham.
Beckham, who took the free-kick, kicked a personal moon scimitar straight through the Sevilla gate!
Real Madrid leads Sevilla 2-0 at home.
At this time, Capello began to adopt a conservative strategy, making consecutive substitutions to allow the team to start defending.
Even if the team advances to the last four of the Copa del Rey. But when Capello made a conservative substitution, there were still shrill boos at the Bernabeu.
Now fans are fed up with Capello's defensive football.
Regardless of the outcome, if the scene is not exciting and beautiful, they will directly express their dissatisfaction.
Sevilla scored a goal before full-time to give Real Madrid a little more time to worry about it in the time they had left.
Fortunately, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score was still 2:1.
Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-1 on aggregate over two legs to advance to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey!
In the post-match press conference, Capello briefly answered a few questions about the overall trend and outcome of the game before leaving in a hurry.
The reporters were still unsatisfied, but they tacitly understood: Capello was scared!
He was afraid that reporters would ask him: how did he feel when Qin Xiong, who was banned by him, and Beckham could bring the team a hard-won victory when they played together?
Reaching the last four of the Copa del Rey is no joy for Real Madrid.
Because the haze hanging over the head is still the team's 0:3 defeat to AC Milan!
Ahead of the weekend's league game, Capello attended his pre-match press conference again, and reporters asked him the key question: Will Qin Xiong and David Beckham feature in the league at the weekend?
Capello's answer was: Not sure!
Because he put Qin Xiong and Beckham on the bench list.
He explained the reason: Qin Xiong and Beckham played a Copa del Rey game in midweek and need to be well rested to prepare for next midweek's Champions League match!
Reporters suddenly realized that Capello has now revealed in advance the news that Qin Xiong and Beckham will appear in the Champions League, and it seems that it will not be a smokescreen.
However, the question is, will that game be a battle of life and death?
Falling behind 0:3 at home, go to San Siro to turn the tables?
What an international joke! (To be continued......)
