Chapter 175: Chaotic Madrid

Winning the Carabao Cup allowed Tottenham to completely turn on the winning mode, and then in the league at the weekend, Tottenham won a comfortable 4-1 victory at home to Liverpool, in this game, Deegan only played 60 minutes, scored two goals, and assisted Sigurdsson to score from distance, and near the end of the second half, substitute Defoe scored another goal to beat Liverpool in a single season.

After the match against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur will travel to Madrid for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

Real Madrid, this opponent, Digan is no stranger at all, when he played for Barcelona before, his first opponent was the Galaxy Battleship.

The current situation of Real Madrid is not good, but it is not bad, it is not good, because they are in La Liga, they are suppressed by their sworn enemy Barcelona, and there are constant contradictions within the team, because of the internal power struggle, Mourinho's position is not so stable, it is not bad, because this season Golden Mauro ushered in a big explosion in Real Madrid, so far, he has scored forty goals in La Liga, and is the strongest contender for the European Golden Boot award in Degan this season.

Mourinho has been in charge of Real Madrid for the third season, after the initial honeymoon period, Mourinho with a full personality and the real power within the team, started a struggle, as the saying goes, one mountain can not tolerate two tigers, as an alien Mourinho and Casillas The contradiction between the local, after three seasons of brewing, finally ushered in a total outbreak in this season.

The discord between the manager and the players has already caused turmoil for Real Madrid, and the gap between Barcelona and Barcelona in the league has been as much as 16 points, and the league title is completely hopeless.

You must know that Casillas has been the main force of Real Madrid for the last ten years, but that has changed this season.

In the first half of the league, the last game before the winter break, Casillas was suddenly put on the bench by Mourinho, and in that game, without Casillas guarding the gate, Real Madrid finally lost to Malaga 2:3 in the league.

Letting Casillas sit on the cold bench, Mourinho's statement is due to technical reasons, but Casillas, who has always been worshiped as the god of the door, has never been technically questioned. The so-called technical reasons are actually Mourinho's "technical" means to solve the conflict between him and Casillas and even Real Madrid's Spanish gang.

Casillas was robbed of his place by substitute goalkeeper Adan for the first time in La Liga since May 10, 2002. Sitting on the bench with Kaka, Carvalho and other Mourinho's "cold palace group", Casillas showed more frustration and helplessness, as to why Casillas could not start as the main force, Munirio's explanation after the game was only one sentence: "Adan is better than Casillas." ”

From a technical point of view, Casillas's skills will definitely not be worse than Adan, Real Madrid's coach has been replaced, but no one has replaced Casillas, Mourinho's move proves a rumor that the relationship between Casillas and Mourinho is completely broken.

After the game, former Real Madrid director Baldano hinted in an interview with Spanish media that sitting on the cold bench was a punishment for Casillas and a "unique method" for Mourinho to deal with player relations.

Prior to this, Mourinho also punished the team's Spanish gang Ramos in this way, and after a few months, Mourinho finally punished the "leader" Casillas, of course, the Spanish gang in the team will not stop there, Ramos and other players are dissatisfied with Mourinho's actions.

The origin of the conflict between Casillas and Mourinho is probably Mourinho's partiality towards Camuro, who asked Real Madrid president Florentino to appoint him as Real Madrid captain as early as the 2010/11 season.

What caused Casillas and Mourinho to turn against each other?

I'm afraid the most critical factor is that both of them have the gene of being arbitrary and domineering, as early as the Capello era, there were rumors that Casillas and the coach were incompatible, and Real Madrid wanted to replace the goalkeeper, but at that time Casillas performed well, and this matter was over. As the leading big brother in the dressing room and a decorated veteran who is loved by the Real Madrid president, Casillas believes that he should have some weight, so Casillas often confronts Mourinho.

In addition, there are also deep contradictions between the two in terms of tactical settings and employment, Mourinho believes that he is the "emperor" of the team, and no one can "go against the will", so the relationship between them is only getting worse and worse, and finally they turn against each other.

The sparkle for the deterioration of their relationship was in the October 2010 FIFA vote, when Casillas, who captained Spain, did not vote for Camuro and Mourinho for the best player and best coach, although Mourinho eventually won the FIFA Coach of the Year award, which upset Mourinho.

The second is that Casillas has publicly questioned Mourinho's tactics being too conservative, as early as November 29, 2010 in the Spanish national derby, when Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5:0 at home, before the end, Ramos was sent off for shoveling Messi and Barcelona players to clash again, slapping Puyol.

The game ended in a chaotic scene, and after the heavy defeat, Real Madrid relinquished the top spot in the standings, and Casillas, as captain, publicly questioned Mourinho's tactics for being too conservative, challenging Mourinho's authority for the first time, which made Mourinho unhappy.

There is also on August 18, 2011, Real Madrid and Barcelona played against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup, due to the "poke the door" incident during the period.

There was a mutual push during the game, Mourinho lost control of his emotions and poked his finger into the eye of Barcelona's assistant coach Vilanova, who also pushed Mourinho.

Afterwards, in order to maintain the unity of the Spanish national team, Casillas called Puyol, Xavi and others to apologize as the captain of Real Madrid.

Mourinho, however, saw Casillas's actions as a betrayal of himself, and Mourinho stressed the importance of discipline in the two-legged Super Cup against Barcelona.

In the end, when Casillas and Kim Mauro fell out, Mourinho stood firmly on the side of his Portuguese countryman, and he even asked Florentino twice to award the captain's armband to Camuro, but was sternly rejected by the Real Madrid president, Casillas saw it in his eyes and hated it in his heart.

A series of disputes finally caused the conflict between Mourinho and Casillas to completely explode, and since the second half of the season, Casillas has never played even a minute in the hands of Mourinho.

This Champions League semi-final is naturally the same, at the press conference before the game, when Mourinho was interviewed by reporters, he did not shy away from saying: "I prefer Adan, as long as I am the head coach of Real Madrid, under normal circumstances, Adan will be ranked in front of Casillas, although others tell me that Casillas is twenty times stronger than Adan, but my decision will not change, as for why I chose Adan, it is very simple, I think he is the best, it's as simple as that, I accept that others disagree with me, But you also need to accept my decision because I'm the coach. ”

Mourinho certainly has his options, and his choice will certainly be supported by the entire Tottenham spur team, as no one wants to face a stronger opponent.

Not only was Casillas completely beaten into the cold palace and was once regarded as a confidant by Mourinho, but Real Madrid defender Pepe, who is also Portuguese, was also punished by Mourinho for unexpectedly supporting Casillas after the previous match between Real Madrid and Valladolid.

Pepe obviously overestimated the weight of his heart in Mourinho: "I think we should have more respect for Casillas, the coach is not very fair now, Casillas is an important member of Real Madrid, he is an icon of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, he should know that as a player we support him, Casillas is an important player, we should not belittle any player for no reason, we need to respect Casillas more because he has contributed a lot to the team." ”

Mourinho then sneered at Pepe in an interview: "Pepe's problem is very easy to analyze, Pepe's problem is called Varane, if you ask me Pepe's question, then I will answer you, in fact, I didn't want to talk about Pepe, this question is easy to understand, for a 31-year-old player, his main position was taken away by a 19-year-old child, naturally there will be frustration, this is the law of survival in nature." ”

Since then, Pepe has been beaten into the cold by Jose Mourinho.

Pepe rebelled, and Mourinho could still send him into the cold palace to deal with it, but Camuro also rebelled, which completely shook Mourinho's position in Real Madrid.

Since Mourinho became the owner of Real Madrid, Camuro has always been his confidant, but in the previous game, after scoring a goal, Camuro suddenly rushed to the sideline and spoke at Real Madrid's coaching box: Foda-se

This is Portuguese, which translates into Chinese to mean "X your mother".

Camuro used Portuguese to swear, and he was clearly targeting a Portuguese, and Mourinho is most likely the target of his abuse among the Portuguese on Real Madrid's coaching staff, as the relationship between the two has already been greatly cracked.

The reason is that Mourinho often uses Camuro as a weapon against Casillas and a scapegoat for the team's failures.

After the previous several games, because of the poor record, Mourinho once blamed Kim Mauro for his poor performance, how could Kim Mauro's temper be endured, and immediately ridiculed each other, and the two even quarreled in the dressing room.

The contradiction between Mourinho and Casillas is actually the most important thing in the struggle for control of the Real Madrid dressing room and the contradiction between the "Spanish gang" and the "Portuguese gang" in the Real Madrid team.

Casillas was selected for the Real Madrid academy at the age of nine and is the undisputed boss in the Real Madrid dressing room, as the double captain of the Real Madrid and the Spanish national team, he has been the banner and representative of Real Madrid before, and has always dominated the Real Madrid dressing room.

But Jose Mourinho's strong move to Real Madrid changed all that, and Mourinho's dictatorial and unconventional style deprived Casillas of control of the dressing room, and wiped out Casillas' importance and superiority as captain.

But Casillas is deeply loved by Real Madrid's top management and fans, so he is pampered and arrogant, often contradicting Mourinho, and Mourinho can't stand his own assertion and often contradicting his own Casillas.

In addition, there are currently Spanish and Portuguese gangs in the Real Madrid dressing room, the boss of the Spanish gang is Casillas, and the boss of the Portuguese gang is Golden Retriever.

The conflict between the two gangs stemmed from the fact that Casillas's journalist girlfriend had criticized Golden Mul for being too independent, and Golden Mulo was unbearable and humiliated, so he immediately asked Casillas to manage his girlfriend, but Casillas insisted on respecting his girlfriend's right to speak as a reporter.

This also directly led to the bitterness between Camuro and Casillas, and directly affected the relationship between the two gangs, because the head coach Mourinho is Portuguese, the Portuguese gang is naturally Mourinho's descendant troops, and Mourinho's attitude towards the Portuguese gang is to protect and connive, Casillas will naturally fight back.

Casillas was punished by Mourinho with an intra-team suspension, and even tried to strip Casillas of the captain's armband twice, which eventually led to a disagreement between the two sides.

When Mourinho and Casillas, Ramos and other Spanish gangs completely fell out, because the Portuguese Gang's Camuro found that he was always used by Mourinho as a weapon to fight Casillas, Pepe was resentful because of the rise and outstanding performance of the teenager Varane lost the starting qualification, and the Portuguese Gang also joined the camp against Mourinho under the leadership of Camuro and Pepe, and only Adan and Essien in the team have always been loyal to Mourinho, which makes Mourinho feel that he has been betrayed and betrayed, and he just wants to leave as soon as possible.

In this Champions League semi-final with Tottenham, he has always been strong, the cooked duck's beak is still hard, and Mourinho, who is not down, said bluntly: "At present, the team has encountered a big crisis, and at this time, in the face of Tottenham, which has performed strongly since the beginning of the season, I basically have no confidence!" ”

Mourinho would say such a thing, and Digan was surprised when he found out: "That Portuguese seems to be crazy, he seems to have come to Real Madrid to offend people, Ricardo, Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, Cristiano. Ronaldo, maybe tomorrow's game, we will meet a Real Madrid second team on the pitch! ”
