Chapter 31: Welcome Home (Four More Subscriptions!) )

The Copa del Rey match is over.

Real Madrid's enthusiasm for training has also risen.

Or rather, they were stimulated by Guardiola's words.

At first, they felt that there was nothing more than cooperating with Su Ke, but they found that cooperating is certainly cooperating, but they don't want to be a tool person with a single function.

They are also individuals, and they also have inner pride.

To be able to come to Real Madrid, which one is not a star.

They can match up with Suker, and that's because they can win the game, and the tactical choices, although singular, are enough to form a fighting force.

But Guardiola's taunts were full, and they suddenly felt annoyed and angry.

But the problem is, they have no way to refute it!

They do rely on Sooke!

They can really play around Suker.

But they were in no way willing to become Suke's appendages.

For this reason, Real Madrid has set off a vigorous training wave, trying to adjust their state.

But the state is the state, and the system is the system!

Real Madrid needs a system!

This incident even alarmed Florentino.

As president of Real Madrid for so long, Florentino is also well aware of the importance of the system.

A lot of people think of 'system players' as a joke, but being able to fit into the system is the most important thing.

This is a problem that they have to adjust.

Florentino takes this very seriously, as he has already made the same mistake once.

At the time of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship.

Real Madrid has a star-studded ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Raul, Carlos, David Beckham and many other star-studded stars.

But because of the top-heavy problem, he couldn't make any achievements.

This was also the main reason that led to Florentino's dismissal.

The product of the stacking of superstars that are not fragmented is destined to go far.

To this end, Florentino reformed on this basis.

Now the players he buys are more targeted players.

It's not a game of stacking superstars at the front.

For example, Alonso, Arbeloa, etc. It's all about juggling the lineup.

But now, it seems that the problem is not with the players, but with the manager.

Florentino's secretary approached Pellegrini.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with our tactics, the people who say Suker dependence, they're just afraid that we've developed Suker's impact and ultimately lead to a situation where they can't target Suk."

Pellegrini said solemnly; "You could say it's Sooker dependence, but in other words, it's Real Madrid's single-core system."

Looking at the skillful Pellegrini, the secretary felt a little headache.

In these areas of expertise, he can't talk about Pellegrini.

"But Mr. President, I hope that some changes can be made." The secretary again turned to Florentino meaning.

In this regard, Pellegrini frowned slightly, and his heart was very aggrieved.

He worked at Real Madrid for a while, but he couldn't do this, he didn't do that, and he was called over as a manager.

"This season, if we can't get results, then it means that I really did something wrong, and I will obey whatever you arrange when the time comes, but now" Pellegrini said seriously: "Please don't interfere with a manager's judgment!" ”

The secretary felt a little tricky.

They don't want to have too many conflicts with Pellegrini.

It's just that Pellegrini always wants to put his hand where he shouldn't.

"Sir, I think you misunderstood, the chairman didn't mean to meddle in the first team, this is something Calderón would do, but as management, as the president of Real Madrid, Mr. Perez needs to be responsible for this, so he wants to know more detailed plans."

"Let me write a report again?" Manuel Pellegrini hated these broken reports.

The secretary smiled: "This is not a report, but a way to communicate and understand each other's ideas." ”

"It's only when the management and the manager have a relative understanding that we can do our job better, right?"

Pellegrini pursed his lips and finally sighed;

"Okay, I got it! I'll put together some paperwork and give it to you. ”

The secretary smiled and bowed: "Thank you very much!" ”

On the other side, inside the villa in Florentino.

Florentino is pruning his own vines.

Casillas stood by and helped carry the bag of grapes.

Florentino cut a bunch of grapes and stuffed it into the bag, and soon a hand got into the bag.

Casillas saw this scene and grinned.

Florentino, in an indifferent tone, said: "What do you think about the team's tactical system? ”

Casillas hurriedly said: "This is the job of the manager, we are players, we will not overstep, we will only follow." ”

Florentino was silent.

He cut a bunch of grapes again and threw it in, and with a hand he shoved it in, and pulled it out.

Casillas' cheeks trembled.

Florentino whispered, "Sooke, what do you think?" ”

Suke crouched behind Florentino, clutching a bunch of grapes in his hand, and said; "The system is necessary!"

In a word, Florentino nodded slightly.

He was of the same opinion as Suke.

"Barcelona relies on the system, and if a team wants to be strong, it has to rely on the tactical system." Suke shoved a grape into his mouth and continued; "In the last century, with the emergence of the WM formation, the era of star domination of the game came to an end, and with a suitable tactical system, a low-level team could also beat the top giants."

"And for the wealthy, this is also the basis for the beginning of the dynasty moment, and the importance of the system is self-evident."

Florentino nodded slightly, he put down the scissors, looked at the grape stalks, and said with a distant gaze: "Pellegrini is not necessarily suitable for Real Madrid." ”

Hearing this, Callicias's body shook.

Suke shrugged, silent.

Florentino continued to cut the bunches and stuff them into the bag, and Sooke reached out again and pulled out a bunch.

Casillas shook his head helplessly.

Florentino paused, only to see him reach out and take the bag in Casillas's hand and place it on the other side.

'I'm not going to change the manager on an interim basis, at least I'm going to keep Manuel Pellegrini in charge until the end of the league.

Florentino continued: "But what advice do you have for a new manager? ”

Su Kema said; "Ancelotti!"

Florentino nodded; 'We've been in touch but Carlo Ancelotti's team say they have no intention of leaving Chelsea at the moment and that they are challenging for the league title this season and at least have to do something to do before leaving.

Su Ke was helpless.

This is also the character of Carlo Ancelotti, but the 'Captain of Madrid' may not be able to come early.

Suke ate the bunch of grapes slowly, and quickly finished eating the bunch.

I saw that Su Ke changed his position and squatted directly in front of the bag.

"Well, I have one more candidate." Suke said.

Florentino asked; "Who?"

Suker: "Jose Mourinho! ”

Jose Mourinho did a good job at Real Madrid.

If it weren't for the personality, the locker room would have been conflicted and eventually abandoned.

Putting that aside, Jose Mourinho is definitely the best option for Real Madrid at the moment.

Florentino nodded appreciatively.

Strangely, his thoughts always coincided with Sooke's.

'Jose Mourinho is a good fit for us and he's a big name at the moment, he's doing a good job at Inter and I really want to invite him.'

Florentino kept staring at Suke as he spoke.

Su Ke was embarrassed to do it.

Florentino nodded; "Okay, I see what you mean, so that's all for today."

With that, Florentino stood up with his waist in his hands, clapped his hands, looked down at the bag, and sighed; "The grape harvest is not good, there are too many pests, it looks like pesticides are going to be sprayed."

Suke: "."

Suker and Casillas drove in a vehicle to the training base.

Casillas asked; "What do you mean, Mr. Perez?"

"What else could it mean?" Suker shrugged: "I'm ready to pack up Pellegrini, testing our attitude." ”

Casillas and Suker each hold up half of Real Madrid's sky.

Raul is going to be sent away next season.

Suker and Casillas have the most say in the locker room.

Although Real Madrid are Florentino's cover, the attitude of these players also needs to be taken into account.

If they really support Pellegrini, Florentino will continue to use him.

But if it weren't, Florentino would have to be ready to clean him up.

To put it bluntly, Florentino still feels that Pellegrini is a bit out of place, and there are no top honors that are enough to shock everyone, such as the Champions League.

This does not fit Florentino's aesthetic and plans.

The Galactic Battleship is luxurious, and it doesn't just need top players, it also needs top managers.

Suker returned to the club with Casillas.

Externally, both claimed to have participated in club activities, and no one knew that they had been called over by Florentino to talk.

As for the content of the conversation, they will not reveal it either.

Florentino was ready to clean up Pellegrini, and they weren't going to rebel at this point.

On November 1, the ninth round of La Liga.

Real Madrid take on Getafe.

In this game, Suker still started and scored two goals in the 90 minutes.

Real Madrid beat Getafe 3-0.

At the end of nine rounds, Real Madrid still maintained an unbeaten record of 8-1-0.

But they still finished second in the standings.

First up is Barcelona 9-0-0!

It's really not a loss!

Barcelona are playing too consistently, and unless they go head-to-head with Real Madrid, it will be very difficult for other teams to take out Barcelona.

Of course, Real Madrid is just as tough.

After all, Barcelona at this time was in the Dream Three period, and the control was particularly terrifying.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are not yet at their peak.

In the scorers' charts, Suker is in first place with 17 goals.

Messi scored 15 goals!

As the season unfolds, the major teams are gradually adapting to the intensity of the game, and scoring goals is no longer so easy.

Combined with the research of many teams on Suker and Messi, this has also caused their goal rate to drop a bit.

Of course, this is also in a state of contrast.

After all, apart from them, Villa, who is third in La Liga's scorers, has only 10 goals, and Higuain, who is fourth, has eight goals.

On November 2, the whole Real Madrid team went to Milan, Italy, to prepare for the fourth round of the Champions League.

Away to AC Milan, as long as they win this game, their form of qualification becomes very clear.

Suker also returned to Milan after more than four months.

When the Real Madrid squad arrived at the airport, many Milan fans gathered.

When they saw Suke, they erupted in violent cheers.

The banner in his hand was raised.

【Welcome home!】 Sucre! 】

[You are the eternal darling of San Siro!] 】

[Sooke! Long time no see! 】

[Milan No. 10! NO.1! 】

Looking at these banners and looking at these enthusiastic fans, Su Ke's heart was also filled with a warm current.

Even after four months away, the Milan fans have not forgotten themselves.

When he returned to Milan, they offered to greet him.

Of course, there are also some bad banner comments, after all, no one is perfect, and the old horses are sprayed.

However, these comments are automatically filtered by Suke.

Suker greeted the Milan fans who welcomed him warmly and followed the team on a bus to their hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Suker was called by Pellegrini.

'In this game, in the first half, I was going to put you on the left wing.

Pellegrini said.

Suker's single-point blasting ability can only be fully displayed on the wings.

Suker, who sits in the center, is certainly very impactful, but he has not been able to fully vent this firepower.

In the first half, Suker played as a winger and continued to press on the wings, and it was best to blast the wings.

In the second half, facing a physically exhausted Milan, Suker continued to press in the center of the striker.

In the meantime, the left wing was also able to help Suker more.

That's the real use of 'cannon'.

Pellegrini spoke in detail and seriously.

The whole person is full of energy.

Suke felt that this old fellow was a little pitiful, and I was afraid that he didn't know it yet, and Florentino was going to send him away.

"I see, sir!"

After Pellegrini finished speaking, Suke immediately nodded his head in agreement.

Pellegrini said earnestly: "Suker, you are the absolute core of our squad, I will give you everything you want, tactical resources, dressing room status, and even captaincy. ”

Suker looked at Pellegrini in dismay.

Spotting Pellegrini looking at him with burning eyes.

Su Ke grinned: "Captain doesn't need it, right?" I haven't been a captain, I can't do it well. ”

'Everybody has a time when they try and I can help you fight for it, even though it's not the first captain, but it can also increase your voice in the dressing room. Pellegrini smiled; "You just have to play well and I'll take care of the rest."

Su Ke coughed dryly and left.

When he returned to the locker room, Suke immediately said to Casillas: "Pellegrini wants to recruit me. ”

Casillas was surprised; "Recruiting you?"

Suke nodded; "He didn't have enough say in the dressing room, so he wanted to recruit me, increase his influence, and even said he could help me fight for the captaincy."

Casillas frowned.

The captain is not something that anyone will give.

In addition to the time he played for Real Madrid, he also needed a performance bonus, and of course the nationality bonus was the largest.

Real Madrid's two captains after Raul are Casillas and Ramos.

Both are Spanish and have a natural bonus.

Since then, Marcelo and Benzema have served as the first and second captains respectively.

With Marcelo on the bench, Benzema became more of a captain on the field.

It's just that Real Madrid has entered the transition period at this time.

Suker never wanted to be the captain of Real Madrid, and this is also his statement.

"By the way, if it doesn't work on my side, he might go to you." Suke turned his head and said.

Casillas grinned.

Manuel Pellegrini can't see the current situation!

Both Suker and Casillas knew that he might be leaving, how could they support him.

After Sooke finished speaking, he walked into his room.

The hotels prepared by Real Madrid are in very good condition.

Compared to the Milanese period, the environment where the standard room lived.

At Real Madrid, Suker can live in a suite.

Suke and Casillas are roommates, but both have their own rooms.

Sooker's room has a large floor-to-ceiling window that offers views of the outside world and the nearby San Siro Stadium.

Standing outside the window, overlooking the scenery of Milan, Suke couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It was the first time he had looked at the San Siro from this angle.

As the sun sets, the shadow of the San Siro Stadium grows long.

It's like Milan when you're lonely.

The next day, in the evening, the whole city of Milan became agitated.

Despite losing the first leg of the Champions League, they still have some confidence in the second leg.

Moreover, Suker is back at the San Siro Stadium, much to the delight of the Milan fans.

Although, at that time, Suke was already an opponent.

At the San Siro Stadium, in the middle floor of the South Stand, a long banner hangs.

[Sooke! Milan 10! The darling of San Siro! Welcome home! 】

Since they are rivals, they do not call out Suke's name.

But it's also a way for them to show their love for their former stars.

When Suker walked into the stadium to warm up, the audience burst into applause.

More than 60,000 Milan fans all stood up and applauded.

They silently did not let out cheers, but replaced everything with applause.

Suke took a deep breath as he placed one hand on his chest and bowed in all directions in thanks.

Milan fans love themselves.

I haven't loved Milan before!

"After more than four months, I think for the Milan fans, they miss the Milan number 10 very much, and in that Milan omnipotent period, the Milan number 10 became our icon!"

"Even though he's gone, here we give him a round of applause!"

The live DJ said warmly:

"Suke! Long time no see! ”

"Suke! Welcome home! ”

The applause stopped, and Suke returned to warm up.

Whether or not Suker was once the darling, they are now their opponents, so Milan will give it their all.

The same is true of Suke.

The tender moment is over.

Then came the brutal game.
