Chapter 16: The Triwizard Tournament (Four More Subscriptions!) )
Football is a team sport, but it is also an individual sport made up of many people.
An absolute single cannot completely influence the situation, but a small group that is strong enough can.
To be a professional footballer, everybody is constantly training to win.
If you don't advance, you will retreat, which is the truth of football.
There are so many players in the big five leagues, so many players.
But all the players in the world are staring at this position, playing in the big five leagues, trying to keep it is useless, only improvement is king.
Sooke returned to Spain for his first day of training with the team.
He saw Pellegrini in a thunderous rage.
The reason is simple, in the World Cup European qualifiers, Xavi. Alonso was injured.
Harvey. Alonso is definitely Real Madrid's only attacking engine at the moment, and his injury means that Real Madrid's attacking firepower will be greatly affected.
Suker was powerful, but he couldn't juggle the difficult task of exporting firepower and transporting artillery shells.
Someone has to get the ball from the back to the front and to the feet of Suker.
Still, it doesn't matter how advantageous they can help Su Ke create a space, after all, Su Ke has strong personal abilities.
But that doesn't mean that Suker can score goals from the back.
Harvey. Marcos Alonso is injured and Real Madrid are once again in the midst of a weak midfield.
Manuel Pellegrini scratched his ears and cheeks, and he kept insulting Spanish coach Bosque.
"What does Harvey do? What does Iniesta do? And David. Villa, Cesc Fabregas, so many midfielders, why did you let Alonso play at that time? ”
Pellegrini roared angrily.
"What was the situation? Eight goals ahead! The opposite side has already been kicked mentally collapsed and faces great danger, Bosque has understandably chosen to replace Xavi, but does he have no other substitutes? Isn't Mata good? Why Alonso! Damn it! Why! ”
"Dog thing, did Barcelona stuff him with money? Let him target us like this? Fuck it! ”
Pellegrini scolded fiercely.
Casillas, Raul and others on the side also looked embarrassed.
Raul, in particular, as the captain, has a certain say on Bosque's side, and he can influence Bosque's substitution options.
Casillas is the second captain and he also has a certain say.
These two people added together, and they didn't save a Harvey. Alonso?
Some of Pellegrini's words were addressed to the two of them.
After a while, Pellegrini also calmed down.
He exhaled slowly, his head racing.
"Sir, what we have to do now is to find a solution." Casillas reminded; "Soon the league will restart and the Champions League will come."
"I know!" Pellegrini's eyes were still angry; "What do you think I'm doing? I'm figuring it out! ”
Casillas touched a nose of ash.
Raul looked at Pellegrini's appearance, couldn't help but bow his head and ponder for a moment, and said; "Or. Let Suker play as a central midfielder? ”
After that, Pellegrini looked at Raul and said angrily: "I played a game, let him change three positions, and I don't know that I think 100 million is Korean won!" ”
In other words, Lao Tzu can't say this.
When Suker joined Real Madrid, he was in the centre of the field.
However, for the sake of the game, Manuel Pellegrini approached Suker to convince him to take a position on the left wing.
This is already for Suke to make concessions.
And now, they still have to inch in.
Although the central midfielder and the wing-forward are in the same position, their attributes are completely different.
The wingers are still the attributes of a striker, with the ability to shoot.
But the central midfielders, then they are purely a firepower delivery link, and there are definitely not as many shooting opportunities as the center forwards.
Thinking of this, Peragrini suddenly looked at Raul.
How does this guy's suggestion feel like consolidating his position?
Raul also saw Pellegrini's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't have any other ideas, I just simply think that the only one who can replace Alonso is Suke." ”
Pellegrini waved his hand: "No, I can't do it!" ”
Joke!
Once Su Ke was really angry.
With Suker's position in Florentino's heart, is he still the right manager?
Raul gritted his teeth: "Good! I'll go and say! ”
There is no way to do things.
If you want to ensure combat effectiveness, you must make some sacrifices.
As much as this may really anger Sooke, Raul is ready to take the consequences.
In Real Madrid's dressing room, there was silence.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Casillas kept his head down and did not speak.
Ramos turned his head to look out the window.
Coach Manuel Pellegrini stood in the doorway, hiding far away, as if he had nothing to do with him.
The players from other non-Spanish factions looked like they were watching the show.
The captain of Real Madrid and the number one star of Real Madrid are facing off.
"I'm sorry, but that's the way it is, and it's a helpless move." Raul looked at Suke and said sincerely; "I know that this will be a great sacrifice for you, but as the captain, I need to think about the whole team and make a solemn request to you!"
Raul's posture was very low, but in front of him, Suke's eyes narrowed slightly.
"What's going on?" Benzema muttered quietly.
Pepe on the side grinned: "The captain is putting pressure on Suke." ”
"Pressuring?" Benzema whispered surprise: "But the captain is sincere?" ”
"Sincerity is useless, this kind of thing can't be said in private, and you have to make a request in the locker room, in front of us?" Pepe sneered; "This is to engulf everyone, to put pressure on Suke."
Benzema looked at Suker's expression.
Although there aren't too many expressions floating, it's still not good-looking.
Under everyone's gaze, Suke looked at Raul and suddenly asked; "Captain, have you thought about it?"
Raul nodded: "Yes, I have fully prepared. ”
Suke sighed suddenly; "Well, in that case, I promise you!"
"Actually, I don't want the team to lose either, since there is one person who needs to be sacrificed, why can't that person be you cough cough me?"
"There is no need to say this kind of thing in front of everyone, you are the captain, you speak, who dares not to listen!"
Raul continued; "I know that this matter will make your stats drop and you may even lose the competition with Messi"
"That's it! All right! "Suker waved his hand;" No need to explain! It's done! ”
Su Ke smiled and waved his hand, and smiled at everyone: "Don't get off work!" It's all over training! ”
With that, Suke walked straight out of the locker room.
Everyone touched their heads, it was a tense atmosphere, why did it suddenly become relaxed?
Pepe looked at Suke's back, he grabbed the training bag on the side, and smiled; "It's time to get off work! It's time to get off work! ”
With that, he immediately walked out of the locker room.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief.
The range just now was too exciting.
Pepe chased after Suke all the way and soon came to Suke's side.
"You're not angry?"
Pepe asked.
Su Ke turned his head: "Angry! But does it work? ”
Pepe; "I thought they were going to fight."
Suke: "Not everything is solved by fighting, but I didn't expect them to play tricks. ”
Pepe; "So, what do you want to do?"
Suke turned his head to look at Pepe, but didn't speak.
Ten minutes later, Suke arrived at the villa, and Pepe followed.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm curious!"
Pepe blinked: "You just accepted it and admitted defeat?" ”
Suker shrugged: "Raul is the meritorious captain of Real Madrid, what can I do?" ”
Pepe nodded: "That's the same thing." ”
Suke opened the door and walked in, and Pepe followed.
"You're still following?"
"I have a feeling that you won't give up."
Su Ke was puzzled: "What do you say?" ”
Pepe; "Intuition!"
Suke grinned and let Pepe walk in, after all, he couldn't drive people away.
Pepe was in the villa, watching Suke get busy in the kitchen.
The whole person did not look angry.
Pepe looked at Su Ke strangely, and thought about it, if he was Su Ke, he would probably have been angry, and even made a move.
But Su Ke looked like an old god was there, and he didn't make any moves.
A short time later, the door opened.
Sooke's agent, Zolanch, walked in.
Zolanch's expression was cold; "I've contacted Mr. Perez."
"How?" Suke said casually.
Zoranch glanced at Pepe.
Suke waved his hand: "This guy is not a native Spanish gang!" ”
Zoranch nodded, and then said, "Mr. Perez promises that he will give you an explanation." ”
Pepe still looked puzzled.
Suker beckoned to Pepe; "Since you're here, let's have dinner and then leave."
Pepe leaned in, but he was quickly captured by Sooke's delicacies.
Leave all curiosity behind and feast.
After dinner, Suke sent Pepe away.
Pepe was asking Suke what he was going to do until the end.
But Suke just wouldn't let go.
But soon, he knew.
Real Madrid have terminated contract renewal talks with Raul.
And this was an order from Florentino himself.
Raul's contract is until this season, that is, after this season, if Raul does not renew his contract, he will leave as a free agent.
Raul used his position as captain to coerce others to pressure Suke, forcing Suke to nod in agreement.
For this, Raul is also prepared to bear the consequences.
It's just that the consequences are a bit too cruel.
The next day, there was still silence in Real Madrid's dressing room.
All of us are in a state of great shock.
This is Raul!
This is Real Madrid's decorated captain!
But after he had a falling out with Suke, the club responded quickly.
They lifted the contract extension with Raul, and the consequences were too cruel.
Raul was also sitting on the bench, his face confused.
He didn't expect the club to be so determined.
He pressured Suker because he was the captain of Real Madrid, a team he had been with for 16 years.
He is one of the most representative players in Spain.
But now, in the choice between Suker and Raul, Real Madrid chose Suker without hesitation.
This incident not only had a great impact on Raul.
It also impacted the rest of the Spanish gang.
For the first time, Suker showed his influence as 'Mr. 100 Million'.
Even if he is a meritorious captain who offends Su Ke, he will also be sent away!
"Good morning!"
A bright voice rang out, and Suke pushed the door open.
Everyone looked at Suke in dismay.
There was a hint of horror in their eyes.
Raul also looked at Suke, his eyes full of helplessness.
"Good morning." Raul greeted with a wry smile.
Su Ke smiled brightly: "Good morning, captain! ”
With that, Suker walked to the locker on his own, began to change his equipment, and then walked out of the locker room.
Pepe glanced at everyone and immediately chased after them.
"How did you do that?"
Pepe asked, "Raul is the captain!" After you fought each other, the club chose to send the captain away? ”
Suker shrugged; "What does this have to do with me?"
In fact, this is also true.
Suker didn't do anything, he just followed in the footsteps of history.
Raul put pressure on himself in his own capacity, and Suker couldn't refuse, and if he refused, he would be in disregard of the team's actions, and it would be difficult to integrate into the goal in the future.
Everybody's impression of him will be the word 'selfish'.
So, Sukh accepted.
At the same time, according to the original plane, Raul would have been sent away.
It was in the summer window of 2010 that he left Real Madrid.
Even if Suker doesn't do anything, Raul is bound to go.
After all, no one can live old at the Bernabeu!
However, this time, Suker took advantage of the opportunity to establish his position in the locker room.
Suk didn't do anything.
But in the eyes of others, Raul was at odds with Suker, and the club chose Suker when choosing.
This is a full indication of Suker's status in the hearts of the club's hierarchy.
It also warns the others not to provoke Suke.
It's an unpleasant thing.
But killing two birds with one stone has contributed to good things.
It strengthens Suke's position in the locker room, and at the same time makes others understand how difficult Suker is to mess with.
At least in Pepe's opinion, Suke looks harmless to humans and animals, but he is actually more fierce than himself.
If it were him, he would have a fight with Raul at most, and even cause bigger problems.
But Suke didn't seem to have done anything, and then sent the captain away.
Pepe looked at Suke's back, a little creepy.
This guy. Fiercer than yourself!
"Suke! Oh!! Oh, my God! Wonderful header goal! ”
"The Spaniards couldn't shake Suker with three men, and he still scored this powerful goal even though he was caught by three people!"
"Real Madrid scored in the 42nd minute after a series of missed chances!"
"Suker's goals continue, even if he is put in the playmaker's position, his firepower is still ferocious!"
Spanish commentator González exclaimed.
In the early stages of the game, Suker created a succession of chances for Real Madrid's forward line, but they failed to capitalise on them.
It wasn't until the 42nd minute that Suker scored his first goal.
In the stands, Real Madrid fans cheered wildly.
They celebrated excitedly.
But there was also a question mark for Pellegrini in the cheers.
"Idiot Coach! Why put Suker in the central midfield? His firepower is gone! ”
"Which idiot suggested this?"
"Fuck it, crap! If it weren't for Sooker, we would have lost! ”
These Real Madrid fans hate iron but not steel.
Before Suker's goal, Real Madrid's forward performance was nothing short of miserable.
Pellegrini was angry, what is the matter with Lao Tzu, Suker plays in the center of the midfield, it is your captain's opinion.
It was also your captain who persuaded Su Ke, he didn't do anything!
Pellegrini was a little aggrieved.
That's not a bad thing, though.
At the very least, this incident has led to Raul's imminent departure from Real Madrid.
As bad as it is to say that, it is also true.
If Real Madrid want to take off again, sending Raul away is the key.
Otherwise, Raul will hold back too much of Suke's energy and will not be able to safely implement the position of absolute core.
Just like this incident.
Florentino gave a gag order, so there was no leak.
But it also has a certain impact.
For example, the form of the players has been affected, especially these Spanish players, who suddenly have a sense of crisis after Raul was punished.
"Hey! High five! ”
Suke ran in front of Casillas from afar, and the two high-fived.
Casillas looked blankly at Suke.
Suke gave him a thumbs up: "Nice guard, if it weren't for your save, we would have fallen behind." ”
Suke is unleashing goodwill on Casillas.
Casillas' eyes also lit up, and he immediately said; "It was a beautiful goal."
Suke grinned; "Good partner!"
Casillas also smiled and hugged.
Everyone looked at the clouds in a fog, wondering why Suke suddenly became so close to Casillas, the second man in the Spanish gang, after he had a bad relationship with Raul.
Pepe grinned from the sidelines.
"This guy is really fierce!"
The 90-minute game was over.
Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0 in the second leg.
Suker and Gonzalo Higuain each scored a goal.
In the two legs, Suker scored four goals, an average of two goals per game, and the performance was still very eye-catching.
But during the Catalan week, Messi also made good on his promise.
Against Getafe, Messi scored a hat-trick and scored three goals.
In two legs, Messi scored five goals and led the scorer list.
The media throughout Spain immediately began to compare the results of the two.
At the same time, he also pits Suker against Messi.
One is Barcelona's number one star.
The other is Real Madrid's number one star.
The clubs of the two are competitive in their own right, and the performances of these two are so outstanding.
It's only two rounds, but it's already a mode of confrontation with competition.
La Liga is a double sky, and the situation of echoing each other has been born since then.
Looking at the entire football world, Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo is also following in the footsteps of the two, but based on the intensity of the Premier League, Ronaldo's goal rate is only an average of one goal per game.
But this is still a proud result in the fierce Premier League.
The media exclaimed that since the fall of the gods, football has ushered in a new situation.
Triwizard Tournament!
