Chapter Forty-Six: The Flag Flies (One More Requests for Subscription!) )
January 10, Spanish Copa del Rey.
Real Madrid plays at home against Racing Santander.
Real Madrid is an all-substitute lineup, and despite the fierce fight, the current score is still 2:2.
Racing Santander were very tenacious to recover the score twice, and the situation has been in a state of stalemate.
Real Madrid watched time pass little by little, but still had no intention of making a substitution.
Manuel Pellegrini stood on the sidelines, with Suker, Casillas and other main players sitting on the bench.
"Hey~~~"
Suke sighed suddenly.
Manuel Pellegrini is on top!
After 65 minutes, there were no substitutions, and there was no intention of replacing the main force on the field, which is an awkward performance.
After Florentino agreed to his suggestion and asked him to sign the military order, Pellegrini was completely blocked.
Can't get the Champions League!
He had to leave!
This is also Florentino to make room for the next manager.
In fact, Pellegrini is also a little pitiful.
Just took over Real Madrid, and it was extremely uncomfortable in the ecosystem of giants.
I thought that Villarreal's set would also work.
But he was far from anticipating the intricacies of the big club's dressing room and the personal influence of the star.
Think about it from another perspective, if Su Ke is the head coach, and a lot of big names under his hand give him eye medicine every day, he will be annoyed to death, this head coach is really boring.
But there is no way!
It can't be said that Pellegrini is responsible for this situation, but he has an unshirkable responsibility.
First, he failed to bring changes to the team at the beginning of the season and was courted before Suker's position could be cemented.
If Pellegrini had supported Suker at that time, it would have been a different situation, and even Suker would not have fallen out with Raul.
Second: Pellegrini failed to communicate effectively with the top management and show his plans and ideas, especially Pellegrini's transfer attitude was directly labeled as 'lack of star flavor' by Florentino.
If it is the owner of Arsenal, it is estimated that he will like Pellegrini as a thrifty type, but Real Madrid is not Arsenal, and Florentino is not Kroenke.
In the four years of his reign, he won two La Liga titles, two Champions League titles, one UEFA Super Cup title, one Toyota Cup champion, and two Spanish Super Cup titles.
But Bosque was forced to leave for the simple reason that it was written!
Bosque was too low-key, without any appearance rate and scandals, which was engraved by Florentino as a "lack of star flavor" label and purged.
Bosque has such a record, but it is still the fate of inevitable departure, and Pellegrini has more Bosque status?
Finally, and most crucially, the relationship between Pellegrini and the two 'talkers' in the dressing room has not been good.
At the beginning, when Suker had a conflict with Raul, Pellegrini chose to wait and see and lost the opportunity to recruit Suke.
Now, he's at odds with Casillas.
Suker and Casillas are definitely the two pillars of the current Real Madrid dressing room, offending these two one after another, he doesn't have enough records, and even the system is a half-finished product, what are you doing with him!
For these reasons, Pellegrini has to go if he doesn't go!
The Champions League is a starting point, even if he wins the Champions League for the first time, Pellegrini still has to go.
Florentino was sure that ten cows could not pull it back.
Little by little, the game passed.
Towards the 80th minute, Real Madrid finally made a substitution.
"Suker, Ramos, get on the pitch and find your form!"
Suker and Ramos are ready to play.
Suker didn't say a word, Pellegrini said whatever he wanted, there was no need to continue fighting with him.
With 80 minutes on the pitch, there really isn't much time left for Suker.
What's more, seeing Suker on the field, Racing Santander retreated with all the members, eager for everyone to seal the goal like an arhat.
The tactics of setting up buses are always the most annoying!
Su Ke also felt a headache, not to mention that it was only more than 10 minutes.
Real Madrid launched the final onslaught, and with Suker's charge, they continued to increase their intensity.
"Suker's performance is still very strong, can Real Madrid open the scoring against Racing Santander again?"
The clock went to stoppage time.
In just 3 minutes, Real Madrid won back-to-back corners.
"Ramos! Come up! Fight for the top! ”
Suker beckoned Ramos.
In the current situation, if you want to score, you can only rush more savagely.
In the corner kick area, Di Maria gasped, looking at the dense crowd of Santander players in the big penalty area, he couldn't find the place where the pass landed.
At that moment, Suke stood at the top of the arc and pointed towards the overhead.
'Spread a little higher!' ’
Di Maria grinned.
Pass a little higher, it's to kick the back point, but, is it useful?
Anyway, the corner is still going to be taken.
Bang!
Di Maria respected Suker's instructions and the corner was slightly higher.
Racing Santander's captain Oriol made a prediction, looked at the height of the ball and shouted; "Rear point!"
At this moment, there was the sound of fierce footsteps in my ears.
At the moment when he turned his head.
Suke jerked out with his right foot, the soles of his feet touching the ground firmly, and his feet jumped.
This is a volleyball-like jumping action, when the whole person jumps, the whole body is like a spring compressed to the limit, and it suddenly jumps upward.
"Suke!!!! ——”
Gonzalez exclaimed.
There was silence throughout the Bernabeu Stadium.
They saw that in the crowded large forbidden area, Su Ke was soaring in the air like a flying man, his body was tense, and the whole person moved forward in mid-air.
Ramos tilted his head, his mouth slightly open.
Under his vision, Suker seemed to be flying.
Di Maria's eyes widened as well.
What the hell is this bouncing!
Suker flew almost overhead in the crowd, his forehead touching the ball, a small flick of his head, and a slam of the ball towards the goal.
The ball flew towards the left corner of the ball.
Swish!
The ball goes into the net.
In 90+2 minutes, Suker scored the winning goal.
"Whew~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
Gonzalez jumped up from the commentary seat, and he jumped and shouted excitedly; "Oh my God! Oh, my God! My God! Suke Fatal Blow!! He jumped so high that everyone thought it was the back post, but Suker headed the ball in. ”
"Di Maria's corner kick is also just right, the height is just right!"
"Real Madrid took the lead in the last minute of the game!"
"Suke! Lore! ”
Suke stumbled to the ground, steadying himself on his hands and feet.
This time, he just used all his strength, but finally got the goal.
After confirming the goal, Suker surged to the corner to celebrate.
In an instant, the entire Bernabeu stadium was boiling.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——
The Real Madrid fans celebrated like crazy.
It was a crucial goal that helped them win at home.
In the final moments, Suker showed 'key attributes'.
The eyes of all Real Madrid fans looking at Suker are shining,
That's right!
That's the taste!
When Suker played for Milan, he always showed key attributes, and Real Madrid were also one of the victims of Suker's stunner.
But now, Suker has shown that key attribute at Real Madrid, which is not too cool.
Sucre!!!!!!!!!!! ——
Sucre!!!!!!!!!!! ——
Sucre!!!!!!!!!!! ——
The entire Bernabeu Stadium was boiling.
More than 90,000 Real Madrid fans are chanting Suker's name.
Their voices were so agitated that they ignored the game itself.
Even now, they have the impact of Suker's goal all over their heads.
Pellegrini's mouth was slightly open.
He asked Suker to go up and adjust, but Suker scored a goal.
He's going to give up the Copa del Rey!
But Suker's performance didn't seem to be like that.
Scoring goals should have been a joy.
But Pellegrini felt a little awkward in his heart again.
After a long period of depression and a somewhat distorted mentality, he felt that Suke's goal was a silent protest against himself.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Racing Santander 3-2 at home.
The Copa del Rey is played in a round-robin format, so Real Madrid only need to play well away games and not win, and only need a draw to qualify.
The Real Madrid players were also very happy after the victory.
Although the process was very difficult, it was also a great motivation for the substitutes.
Di Maria's eyes lit up as she looked at Suke.
This is a key attribute, and this will to fight really struck him.
When everyone was in a moment of frustration and thought it was a draw, Suke stepped up like a hero.
With this visual impact, Di Maria feels that Suker is simply not too cool!
"You guy. The last header was so beautiful. ”
Casillas put his arm on Suke's shoulder, a look of joy on his face.
He is advocating not to give up the Copa del Rey, so he is happy to win.
Moreover, in this game, Suker only played more than ten minutes, but still scored a key goal.
"Honestly, do you have the same idea as me? You don't want to give up the Copa del Rey either! Casillas' eyes were glowing.
Suke grinned; "I just want to win."
Suker really wanted to win and win the Copa del Rey, but he couldn't say it directly.
He didn't want to be drawn into Casillas' fight with Pellegrini.
For Suker, the early stage of the Copa del Rey was relatively easy.
As long as you don't run into particularly strong opponents, you will have a little better luck in the draw and you can reach the semi-finals even with a substitute.
And after reaching the semi-finals, if Pellegrini still advocates giving up the Copa del Rey, Suker will not give up!
Suk has his own way of doing things, he doesn't cater to others, and his status and influence don't need to be pandered.
Not meddling is not wanting to get involved in trouble.
But once it comes to Su Ke's core interests, Su Ke will not be honest.
He dared to beat Bilic in the national team.
He also dared to team up with Casillas at Real Madrid to force Manuel Pellegrini.
The quarter-finals of the Champions League will be played on 17 February.
During this period, Real Madrid will have to play six league games and five Copa del Rey games.
The six rounds of the league are:
January 11, round 17, Real Madrid VS Mallorca.
On January 17, round 18, Athletic Bilbao VS Real Madrid.
January 24, round of 19, Real Madrid vs Malaga.
January 30, round 20, Deportivo VS Real Madrid.
February 6, round 21, Real Madrid VS Espanyol.
February 13, round 22, Jerez vs Real Madrid.
The period was also interspersed with Copa del Rey matches.
Luckily, the Copa del Rey will be preceded by the Champions League, with the final not going until May, after a three-month break.
So for Suker, on the one hand, the league is guaranteed, and on the other hand, Suker also expects the substitutes to make it to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
At that time, whether Pellegrini wants it or not, Real Madrid will have to face it with all their strength.
It's all to the semifinals, and Pellegrini said that he can't play it, and he won't need Casillas when the time comes, and Suker is the first to stand up and cut him.
"Di Maria! Brilliant shot after the breakaway, wonderful goal! ”
"Real Madrid lead Osasuna 2-1!"
"Combined with a 1-0 away victory, Real Madrid leads Osasuna 3-1 on aggregate, and with less than five minutes to go, Osasuna has basically lost the chance to reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey!"
"Real Madrid still reached the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey with the substitute lineup, this is Real Madrid! This is the essence of the top giants! ”
With Di Maria's goal, the entire bench also burst into cheers.
Suke jumped to his feet and threw his fists in celebration.
The rest are also boiling.
With the substitution play, Real Madrid still reached the semi-finals.
Suker's look was excited, the substitutes performed very well, and after reaching the semi-finals, their main players will also start to exert their strength.
Looking at the game, Pellegrini had mixed feelings.
He was about to give up the Copa del Rey, but he didn't expect the substitutes to play a wonderful performance, and now he has reached the semi-finals.
If he once again makes it clear that he wants to give up the Copa del Rey, the dressing room will be completely messed up.
Look at the boiling bench, watch the main players hug each other in celebration, but look at him alone, or celebrate with him.
This made Pellegrini even more helpless.
After all, I was on the opposite side of the locker room.
The previous conflict with Casillas was also the same, and now Suker no longer cares about himself, and with that military order, Pellegrini feels exhausted.
He has lost the confidence to lead Real Madrid to the title.
"Perhaps. It's really time to leave. ”
Pellegrini shook his head secretly.
The game is over.
Real Madrid defeated Osasuna 3-1 over two legs to reach the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
Even better, Barcelona lost 3-1 to Sevilla over two legs in this round of fixtures, losing their hopes of qualifying.
Real Madrid made it to the semi-finals as a substitute thanks to a good signing.
This gives them a chance to reach the final.
"See the Hercules Cup, don't you step on the green field immediately!, let's unite together to win glory!"
"Sing for the eternally young heart, sing in the sun."
"Let's cheer for a beautiful game and get together until the end of each day!"
Marcelo sings in the dressing room.
This is the just-released 2010 South Africa World Cup promotional song, sponsored by Coca-Cola Company for the song "Flag Flying" by Canadian singer Conan.
As soon as the song was released, it immediately gained a lot of attention.
The catchy melody, paired with a song of African land and football passion, immediately won the love of the masses.
Coupled with the enthusiasm for the World Cup in South Africa, this song quickly became popular.
Marcelo sang a passage and suddenly roared;
"Let's sing it loud together!"
In an instant, everyone in the entire locker room jumped up and danced.
"They will praise my faith as if it were a fluttering flag!"
"Let's start all over again!"
"Start over!"
Marcelo jumped directly onto the table and yelled, "One more time!" ”
Stirring melodies and singing voices reverberate in Real Madrid's dressing room.
The players were twisting their butts excitedly, singing and dancing happily.
Winning the game is one thing.
Reaching the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey is also one thing.
Barcelona suffered a Copa del Rey elimination, the hot song on the eve of the World Cup and many other factors, everyone's emotions were mobilized.
Suke and Casillas were also playing around for a while, and soon sat down.
"The World Cup is coming soon."
Casillas' eyes were sparkling.
"We're not going to lose to you this time."
Suker shrugged; "Who knows?"
With that, the two looked at the locker room, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but smile.
The 2010 World Cup in South Africa was hotter than ever.
This kind of heat and attention are a little inexplicable, but it is more concerned than in the past.
At present, there is only such a promotional song for the World Cup, and Shakira's "WAKA WAKA" has not yet appeared, and it is estimated that after this song appears, this atmosphere will be raised a few points.
Just yesterday, Suker also received an invitation to participate in the recording of the World Cup promotional video.
After all, a player as popular and popular as Suker, the South African World Cup organizers will not let him go.
Nike also sent a message that Nike endorsement series players will also launch a World Cup promotional advertisement.
Suker joined the Croatian national team in 2007.
Before you know it, three years have passed in a flash, and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is just around the corner.
There are only four months left until the World Cup.
During this time, they also need to be prepared.
There were many phone calls from the national team, and the problem of injury was emphasized again and again.
In addition, they also need to mail a medical report to the national team.
All this is telling everyone that the quadrennial event, the highest tournament in football, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, is coming!
