No. 351 Wayward Ending
After Real Madrid's 3-1 Sporting Gijón match, Pellegrini even triumphantly said to the media, "The team has won, we are one step closer to the La Liga title, and this victory also shows that the team is running well and no one is indispensable." ”
To whom is this spoken? Everyone on earth knows it.
After the game, Jonker walked to the locker room without looking back, and he ignored the microphone handed over by those crazy reporters in the mixed area, he knew that the media wanted to hear what he said, and wanted him to shoot at Pellegrini again, which Jonk would not do, and yesterday, Beckham made a special call to tell Sù Jonke, and the conflict with Pellegrini also needs to consider Florentino's face, the team manager and the manager criticize each other, which is absolutely intolerable to Florentino, even if Jonk is forced to fight, The impact is also not good.
Beckham is a player in the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, and he knows Florentino more deeply than Jonker, and his words are very timely for Jonker.
Therefore, the media did not hear any words from Jonker, not even complaining, which disappointed them, but it was Peragrini's words at the post-match press conference, compared with Jonker's 'forbearance', which was too lacking in the mind that a manager should have, and was criticized by more people.
Regarding Pellegrini's approach, Madrid commentator Albil said that Pellegrini is a dirt bun who has never seen the world, and he is provoking Florentino's bottom line, but he doesn't know that playing with fire is the most dangerous.
The commentator's words did not fall, and the day after Real Madrid's home win over Sporting Gijón, Real Madrid made an announcement. Menendez is no longer the head coach of the Castilla team, and Alberto, who used to play for Real Madrid as a player. Toril was appointed as head coach of Castilla on an interim basis.
Real Madrid Castilla is a football team that currently competes in the Spanish Primera C (Spanish Primera B). It is the reserve team of Real Madrid. The home stadium is Stadio Di Stefano.
Unlike English clubs, which play in different leagues, Spanish clubs' reserve teams play in the same league system as their first team. However. The reserve team and the first team are not allowed to play in the same league as the first team. Therefore, Real Madrid Castilla is not allowed to participate in La Liga. Therefore, even if Castilla reaches La Liga, it can only be sold, and it is impossible to play La Liga with the parent club Real Madrid.
This adjustment of Real Madrid's reserve team did not attract the attention of the media at first.
However, just three hours later, Real Madrid Club suddenly held a press conference to announce that Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini's contract with Real Madrid had been terminated early. Real Madrid would like to thank Manuel Pellegrini for his contribution at Real Madrid and wish him a job in the future.
At the same time, it was announced that Menendez, the former coach of Real Madrid's Castilla team, will be the interim head coach of Real Madrid, an appointment that will be valid until the end of the league.
Florentino was in a hurry, and it broke out suddenly, and Mr. President, when he could not bear Pellegrini, intervened.
When the domestic media reported on the incident, they used the term 'thunderous rage' to describe Florentino's shot.
Pellegrini is really pathetic!
He was still feeling good after the team's win over Sporting Gijón. The victory without Jonker put Pellegrini in such a good mood that he received a call from the famous office at the Bernabeu asking Mr. President to meet him for a consultation. Pellegrini also did not have the slightest awareness that he would be fired by Lightning.
"Pellegrini dug a pit for himself and then he buried himself. He thought his approach to superstar Jonker would be supported by some 'depressed' players within Real Madrid. Ignoring Florentino's 'zero tolerance' attitude towards any action against Jonker, Real Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League. Mr. President, if you can tolerate it, then shake Jonker's position. This is intolerable for Florentino, who is the greatest president in the history of Real Madrid in his grand vision, and Jonk is the guarantee that Real Madrid will be able to regain its glory and sweep Europe. Manuel Pellegrini is too focused on the team's position as the leader and for his own protection. In a word, he was like a commoner boy who came to the palace and couldn't find his way. "Mr. Footballer was the first to report on the analysis of Pellegrini's dismissal.
According to the report of "World Sports", after Real Madrid won the game of Sporting Gijon, Pepellegrini said triumphantly that no one is indispensable, originally he thought that this would make the rest of the club agree, but underestimated the influence of Jonk in the Real Madrid dressing room, which caused great dissatisfaction among the players, Casillas, as the team's vice-president and close to Jonker's player representative, said to Florentino, 'Real Madrid is now facing a great crisis'. Le Monde Sport interpreted this as 'betrayal and mutiny'.
However, given the hostile relationship between Le Monde Sport and Real Madrid and Jonker, their reporting was also blamed by Ace, saying it was shameful to drag innocent players into the water.
In any case, Real Madrid's short-lived Pellegrini era is over, and of course, Menendez is only the interim manager. But, in any case, Real Madrid are on the verge of attacking the only possible trophy of the season, the La Liga title.
On March 23, Real Madrid's interim head coach Menendez's first training session attracted a frenzied media attention.
In the last part of the training, Menendez gathered everyone together and gathered in a circle, which was an open meeting with the players, although Menendez is the head coach of the reserve team, everyone knows him well, but, after all, it was different from now.
When the team was dismissed, Menendez stopped Jonker: "Jonk, come to my office after changing clothes." ”
After Menendez left, Casillas walked up, patted Jonker lightly on the shoulder, and whispered in English, "Mr. Menendez is very talkative, don't worry." ’
Jonk turned his head to look at Casillas, knowing he meant well. Jonk nodded, saying nothing.
Menendez sat in his office waiting for Jonker, which had belonged to Pellegrini a day before. Now it belongs to him Menendez.
As for the role of interim manager of Real Madrid, Menendez certainly knew that this was his opportunity. It's not that Menendez has the ambition to be corrected after the season, he is self-aware, he knows that he is only an interim manager, and after the season, Real Madrid will definitely have a new manager.
However, for Menendez, even being able to be the manager of Real Madrid for these months is a rare opportunity and qualifications, not to mention anything else. As long as he can lead Real Madrid to win the La Liga championship, after he Menendez steps down from the post of interim head coach of Real Madrid, at least he wants to find a job as the head coach of a La Liga team, which is absolutely no problem, and, the most important thing is that in these two months, he will slowly try to deal with the relationship with these stars of Real Madrid, and it will also be important for him to coach giants in the future. It's been a great benefit.
Moreover, Menéndez understands that compared to Pellegrini, who led Villarreal to the last four of the Champions League, he has no qualifications at all. Menendez summed up Pellegrini's failures, arguing that the Chileans' failures began when they mishandled their relationship with Jonker.
So. Menendez approached Jonk to talk after the first day of training sessions. He had to take the initiative.
Jonk arrived at the door of Menendez's office, and he didn't know what the new head coach was looking for him. However, Jonker has a good mentality, as long as the head coach does not deliberately target himself, he is definitely not the kind of thorn who deliberately looks for trouble, speaking of which, the reason why the relationship with Pellegrini is so stiff is also because Pellegrini mistakenly put Jonk on a bad platform from the beginning.
Jonk knocked on the door.
"Come in." He heard Menendez's voice, and Jonk pushed the door in, glancing at the somewhat messy office.
Menendez looked at Jonker, who had changed out of his training uniform and was wearing Armani's casual clothes, and he knew that Jonk was Armani's spokesperson.
"The office is a bit messy, and it's still tidying up."
Jonker knew that this was Pellegrini's former office, and he nodded in understanding.
"Hmm...... Have a seat. Menendez casually pointed to the sofa, "How did it feel to train today?" ”
"Not bad." Jonk replied that he was guessing Menendez's purpose for finding him.
Perhaps, Menendez also felt that the atmosphere of this conversation was too dull, he opened his laptop and sat there, "Hmm. Speaking of which, I never thought I'd have the opportunity to coach a super player like you. Being able to coach you is every manager's dream. ”
Jonk smiled, he knew it was a compliment, however, feeling good, Jonk was a little surprised, because Menendez spoke in a tone that was less like a manager and a player, more like an equal status, not a friend, uh, like a stranger meeting for the first time.
This is not the first time we met.
After chatting casually with Jonker, Menendez nodded: "Jonker, I know, you have won almost all the titles at Manchester United, and now, in Real Madrid, is it convenient to tell me what you really think in your heart?" Well, I mean, your goal for this season, or rather the pursuit or something. ”
Jonk was stunned, he didn't know why Menendez asked this, so Jonk said directly, "For the championship, but now, there is only one championship for the league championship." Perhaps thinking of being knocked out of the Champions League by Lyon, Jonker's face changed slightly.
"That's right, for the championship." Menendez applauded loudly, and he asked Jonker, "You must be familiar with me." ”
Jonk nodded.
"Let's put it this way, I'm the head coach of the reserve team, leading the team to the third division, you can imagine, a day ago, I was the coach of the third division, and now, I'm in the office of the head coach of the greatest club in the world, and I thought I was the guy who won the lottery, and I say that, can you understand, Jonker?"
Jonk smiled and nodded, he was thinking, this manager seemed to be a good guy to get along with.
'I'm the manager of Real Madrid now, temporary. Menendez looked at Joan Ke very frankly, "I know that this position, I only have two months, and these two months are very important to me, my task is to lead the team to win the La Liga championship this season, this is a reward for your hard work this season, and for me, this is a very important qualification for my future work, even if I leave Real Madrid, I can say to the next employer, look, that has the glory of La Liga titles, I have coached Jonck, Kaka, these stars." With that, Menendez jumped off the table and moved his numb half of his buttocks, "So, I'm very important for this championship, I'm very important for these two months, it's the most important moment of my life, Junk, I need your support and the players, we have a common goal." ”
Jonk was surprised, he had never been in contact with Menendez before, and he had no impression of the reserve manager, but he didn't expect Menendez to be so candid, but it also made Jonk feel good about the interim head coach.
"Mr. Menendez, but you should go to Raul or Igor, they are the captains." Jonk said.
"I'll look for them later. How, I just said. "Menendez reached out and meant, in my opinion, you are the most important.
"What I want to say, sir, is that I treat the championship as if it were my life." Jonk smiled and shook hands with Menendez, he never wanted to go against anyone, since Menendez valued him very much and took the initiative to show goodwill, Jonk would naturally take it.
"I believe that one day, this office will truly belong to you." Jonk said with a smile.
"Thank you, I believe it too." Menendez understood what Jonk meant, and said with a smile in his eyes, his eyes were very determined, it seems that this opportunity has made the Real Madrid reserve coach have a higher idea.
Two days later, Alfonso. Estadio Pérez, Real Madrid's away match against Getafe, since Getafe is in Getafe, in the Community of Madrid, this match can also be seen as a Madrid derby.
This game is also particularly eye-catching, this is the first game after the change of manager of Real Madrid, only Menendez, who has coaching experience in the third division, can control the superstars of the supercarrier Real Madrid, which is of great concern.
"World Sports" even maliciously speculated that the Real Madrid stars led by Jonk would make the unqualified manager unusually ugly.
In the end of the match, Real Madrid played in Alfonso. Pérez Stadium won 4:2, whether it was the score result or the process, Real Madrid showed a very good performance, and in the whole game, Getafe, who was playing at home, did not get a real chance.
Jonk started the game, and although he didn't score, Jonk made a penalty and provided two assists to Higuain and Ramos respectively.
In the 25th minute of the second half, Menendez replaced Jonk with Benzema. Some reporters at Perez Stadium began to speculate maliciously, because everyone knew that Jonk only needed one goal to tie the distance of nearly ten years of Ronaldo's single-season 34 goals when he was in Barcelona.
However, to their surprise, after Jonker was substituted, he even hugged interim head coach Menendez on the sidelines, and then sat on the bench with a smile on his face, chatting with Van der Vaart next to him, looking very happy and not showing the slightest sign of anger. (To be continued......)
