A week later, Marcelo was appointed assistant coach for Real Madrid.

Tang Zhenglong did not find two assistant teachers as usual, but found one assistant teacher.

In terms of recruitment.

Tang Zhenglong bought Bayern winger Leroy Sane.

This is controversial because of Leroy Sane's age, but Tang says his experience can help the team.

The season has set sail.

In the first round of the match against Valencia, Real Madrid overturned in the gutter and lost 0-1 at home.

The door is open, and the pressure is great for Tang Zhenglong.

Tang Zhenglong knows very well what the European football media is.

Here, even if you are a player of Messi's level, even if you don't score a game, someone will immediately say that you can't do it, and you are out of breath.

So immediately after the first game, some people said that Tang Zhenglong became the head coach of Real Madrid by nepotism.

Tang Zhenglong didn't want to explain, because it was useless.

When he was a player, why was he so arrogant?

Because he can score a steady stream of goals, it's the goals that give him the motivation to be arrogant, but now it's different, the past results are written off and you have to come up with new results to convince the fans to support you.

The next day's training went on as usual.

Tang Zhenglong and Marcelo stood together.

"Curly, what's wrong with us? You can say it straight. ”

"I think our problem is still running-in, there is nothing wrong with the squad."

"Are they not trusting me?"

"You're the new coach and it's not easy to convince these big names of your ability."

Tang Zhenglong also understood.

But being a coach is really harder than being a player, as a player just needs to take care of yourself, and as a coach you need to manage others.

"I'll go back and think about it."

******

"Give you hot milk." Fermina brought Tang Zhenglong a glass of milk.

"Thank you, dear."

Tang Zhenglong looked at the notebook and watched the game with Valencia over and over again, not letting go of every technical detail.

Real Madrid have a professional technical team and submit a detailed report to the manager after each game.

Fermina held Tang Zhenglong.

"Honey, don't bother with a game."

"Huh." Tang Zhenglong smiled slightly, "There's no way, the pressure of being the head coach is a little too much." ”

"They all have gray hair."

"Really?"

Tang Zhenglong immediately took out his mobile phone and took a photo.

"Haha, kidding you, no."

"Scared the hell out of me."

"Let's rest, shall we? My dear. ”

"If I were fired by your grandfather, would you still love me?"

"My little tiger, you won't be fired."

"Haha."

******

The next day, Tang Zhenglong was the first to arrive.

"Let's do 10 laps today."

10 laps?

Everyone was stunned, is it going to die?

As soon as you look at everyone's expressions, you know that everyone is not convinced.

"Are you not convinced?"

“……”

"Then I will convince you, and I will take the lead in the first training program I ask you to do in the future."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

I saw that Tang Zhenglong really ran first.

Tang Zhenglong is more than ten years older than everyone, and he has to be the first to complete all the projects, which does not need to be said for the shock of the rest.

If you can't do it well, then you really don't deserve to be a professional footballer.

At the end of the training, the players were as tired as their grandsons.

"The coach is really not human."

"Is that physical fitness, really a person who is already 40 plus?"

After all, but the players also know that as long as Tang Zhenglong can really stick to it like this, then they really have no excuses.

******

In the second game with Deportivo La Coruna, Real Madrid drew 1-1, the team played much better, the opponent's goal was a long-range shot, a fairy goal, not that there was any problem with the team's defense.

Tang Zhenglong said in an interview: "The players performed a lot better, and everyone saw the lost goal, it was the opponent's fairy ball, and the violent long-range shot went straight to the dead corner, and we couldn't do anything." ”

European journalists are professional and do not mess with the dark.

You can see the progress in the players.

******

After the first eight rounds, Real Madrid is in third place for the time being.

Round 9 is the most crucial because it is a national derby, a match against Barcelona.

The current Barcelona coach is Dutchman Koeman, who was originally a replacement, but he didn't expect to do it, and he did a really good job, and he has stayed in office until now.

Barcelona are now top of the table, six points ahead of Real Madrid.

Tang Zhenglong led the team to Barcelona, and the outside world even said that this game would decide the championship of this season in advance.

Because if Barcelona wins, then they are nine points ahead of Real Madrid, which is almost double digits, and there will be pressure.

However, Tang Zhenglong also knows that this is the urine nature of the media, and it is impossible not to do things.

When he came to Barcelona, Tang Zhenglong did not let the players train or rest, but asked the players to watch a movie, watch all the "One Goal to Fame" series, and write a review after watching it.

The players are stupid, how narcissistic is the manager? Let's watch the movies he made, and also write about the aftermath.

Tang Zhenglong watched it in his room.

"The boss is so handsome, and the acting skills of the heroine are the highlight of this film."

"The boss is an example for us to learn, let's ask the world football, in addition to the boss and Xiaobei, who else can cross the border so successfully?"

"My dream is to be a movie star, boss, can you give us a class?"

Tang Zhenglong looked at the computer screen, and I have to say that he felt very happy.

"Nonsense!!"

Tang Zhenglong posted a message in the group.

"I'm asking everyone to look at things from the perspective of football professionals and ignore my superb acting skills, okay?"

……

……

Tang Zhenglong's purpose is actually to let everyone relax, if he always thinks about the game before the game, then the rest is not good, and he is likely to be abused at that time.

*******

The pre-match press conference, a familiar field.

When he was a player, Tang Zhenglong came often, but now he is the one sitting in the middle, and he is the coach of the first team.

Barcelona reporters love and hate Tang Zhenglong.

But I don't know why, they were really a little moved at this time.

"Don, welcome back."

The audience burst into applause.

"Thank you."

When he started to ask questions, Tang Zhenglong was not polite, he said whatever he wanted.

As soon as Tang Zhenglong came up, he said that Barcelona's football style was outdated.

"Barcelona's style of football needs stars like Xavi and Iniesta, but Barcelona don't have such superstars anymore."

"Barcelona's football philosophy is beautiful, but the requirements for footballers are too high, in this case, if Barcelona can't find the next Xavi, then Barcelona can't guarantee their football level."

"Real Madrid is different, our football is simpler."

"We have continued the style of football that Jose Mourinho left behind."
