Chapter 341 I Just Say Three Points

The defending champion Real Madrid was eliminated by Chelsea in the Champions League round of [-], which became the biggest news in football today.

The two teams in last year's Champions League final fought against each other for two rounds under Platini's careful arrangements just after they broke out of the group stage this year.This is also known as the final staged in advance, and these two games did not disappoint the fans. The score of 6:5 in the two rounds is enough to prove how hard the players of the two teams worked and how exciting the game was.

And the rain battle at Stamford Bridge will definitely be circulated in football in the future, just like Zidane's rain battle at Juventus.

The newly promoted king Fernando Gago suffered the biggest defeat after landing in Real Madrid. In fact, Gago has not lost before. In 07, Real Madrid met the peak Kaka in the quarterfinals. Real Madrid's Gago, who had just landed that year, suffered a crushing defeat in the match against the Brazilian king.

But at that time, Kaka's reputation was in full swing, known as the No.1 in football, and it was normal for Gago, who had just landed in Real Madrid less than half a year, to lose to him.So both the fans and the media believed that Gago's performance in that game was enough to be worthy of his status at that time.

But now it is completely different. The honor of "five crowns" last year directly made some fans put the title of "ball king" on his head.In today's football, Gago is recognized as the number one star by most people, and his Real Madrid also claims to have brought together the best stars in the world.

With such a lineup, Real Madrid still lost to Chelsea. For a while, criticism from the media began to flood towards coach Schuster like a wave.

The number one headline of the German "Bild" was "Tian Wang scored two goals and was injured, but he couldn't save the team!"

On this day, the entire German media gave the front page to the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea. The "conscience of the Bundesliga" Bayern's [-]-goal massacre of Sporting Lisbon in two rounds was completely ignored by them.

In the final analysis, Real Madrid and Chelsea are too famous. One is the well-deserved "emperor" in football, and the other is the "Ruble Legion" that has attracted the most media attention in recent years.The confrontation between the two is a continuation of the finals of last season, and the ending of the final defending champion being eliminated is really too dramatic.

This is the perfect "Revenge". The media reporters all over the world were full of thoughts at the end of the game, and all kinds of opinions poured out from their pens.

Among them, the performance of Argentine King Gago, who has attracted the most attention from fans, is the top priority of the hype.His two goals in the first round helped the team beat Chelsea at home. In the second round, he stepped up after three goals behind and dragged the game into overtime with two world waves. .

"It's a pity. If Gago can score the last one-handed goal like in the first round, then this game will be the most perfect for Real Madrid and him. It will also be the most satisfying for most fans. The world needs superstars, and they need the kind of superstars who can turn the tide on their own. There is no doubt that the Argentine king is the only superstar in today's football that fits this expression."

"Many football fans don't watch the game, but watch the stars. If Gago drags Real Madrid to eliminate Chelsea in this game, then after this season, it is not impossible for the Argentine to win the title!"

Most of the media scolded Schuster for not knowing how to rotate, and played five games with a main lineup in half a month.As a result, Robben and Gago were injured, Raul and Higuain misfired, and last year the best defense on the planet was defeated by Chelsea players like tofu after fatigue.

During the winter transfer, he bought two midfielders who could not play in the Champions League, which made the team a dead end in this position.Diarra, who has come back from injury, has completely lost the majestic frontal interception ability of last season, and Sneijder, who is good at playing the midfielder, retreated and became an engineer. It is a big failure.

While the media concentrated their fire on Schuster, Gago received universal praise.Although he hit the last one-handed goal on the crossbar, without his four goals in two rounds, Real Madrid would not even have a chance of extra time.

While boasting about Gago, the criticisms of other Real Madrid players have not diminished. Raul, as the captain, of course has to bear the greatest responsibility.

Every time Real Madrid loses, Lord of the Rings is the target of criticism from the media when the results are bumpy. As the captain, he did not lead the team forward at critical moments.As a representative of Real Madrid's image, in the face of these scolding, Raul can only bear it silently. He can't point at the reporter who scolded him and scold him back like those dudes.

He is the captain of Real Madrid, and Real Madrid is an emperor and aristocrat in football. Elegance and humility are the image of the club, and he cannot swear like a shrew.

There is a stark contrast between the praise of Gago and the scolding of Raul in the media, and even most fans and members have such thoughts in their hearts.

However, no matter how fierce the media and fans scolded, no one proposed to revoke Captain Raul, because this is the bottom line.As long as Raul is still at the Bernabeu for one day, he is the well-deserved leader of the Blancos.Even now that Gago surpassed him both in terms of prestige and commercial value.

Fans will scold Raul for his poor performance, but they will definitely not let the Lord of the Rings come down from the throne!This is their child, the child who has dedicated all his youth to Real Madrid for 12 years.

Since Schuster and Raul did not participate in the press conference at Stamford Bridge, the team executives specially summoned reporters at the club to make up this time after consideration.While stabilizing the emotions of the fans, it also allowed the team to come out of the shadow of being eliminated.

"Mr Bernd, what are your thoughts on the team's exit from the Champions League?"

"I heard that Gago's injury is serious, and he has been reimbursed for the entire season, and he can't even participate in the Confederations Cup this summer?"

……

When Schuster and Raul came out, the whole scene was boiling, and more than a hundred reporters from all over the world rushed to squeeze in. If Real Madrid hadn't considered this and sent more people over, now I'm afraid the order is in disarray.

Seeing this situation, Schuster suppressed his exhaustion and signaled to the press officer beside him that it was time to start.Since he was eliminated in the Champions Cup yesterday, as the head coach, he has not slept all night, not only to deal with the accusations of failure, but also because of Gago's injury.

After the game, he personally sent Gago to the hospital. After receiving the test results with anxiety, he asked the club to charter a plane overnight to send the injured Gago and the players back to Madrid.

Staying in England, where the paparazzi are rampant, will have a great impact on the team's next preparations.

After returning to Madrid, Gago was transferred to the hospital that cooperated with Real Madrid, and then he had to be summoned by the board of directors to explain in detail his views on this defeat.

After being eliminated from the Champions League, it was the first time that Calderon, who used to see him with a pleasant face, looked gloomy.After half a day of discussion, he got the chance to stay on.

Although the treble plan fell through, the form of the league and the Copa del Rey are very good.Although they were tied at home by Atletico Madrid in the last round of the league, they are still three points ahead of No.2 Barcelona. As long as they don’t make mistakes in the next period, the team is likely to complete the three consecutive league championships that only existed in ancient times. great cause.And the Copa del Rey also broke into the final, which can basically be said to be a championship.

Those who can achieve the top level of Real Madrid are all elites in society, and they have made correct judgments about the current form of the team.Thinking that keeping Schuster is the best choice, even though Calderon was upset, he didn't think of firing the German.

Although he was able to stay in the post in the end, Schuster issued a military order. If he did not win the remaining two championships, he would resign voluntarily after the season without any liquidated damages from Real Madrid.

The Germans are also proud and arrogant. After blowing the cowhide in front of the entire Real Madrid board members, they immediately came out with captain Raul to solve the press conference.

Facing the problem of reporters trying to make things worse, Schuster has already dealt with it, and he is not that kind of rookie now.The reporters asked all kinds of embarrassing questions based on his own understanding, and he also said what he wanted to say according to his own opinion.

"There are only three points I want to emphasize!"

After the press officer quieted the people at the scene, Schuster spoke. He raised three fingers, and then said without regard to the raised hands of the reporters below.

"The first point is that the team lost and was eliminated. This is the fact. Don't ask about this question. The result is there, and you can write whatever you like!"

After Schuster said this, there was an uproar at the scene. Although he knew the character of the German, he dared to say such a thing when he just lost. Didn't the Real Madrid executives beat him?
"The second point is that Phil's injury is not serious. I don't know how he will be reimbursed for all the next games, but the doctor told me that he will return from injury by the end of April at the latest. About this You can ask the doctor in charge of the Madrid hospital, he gave me the inspection report himself, even if I can lie, the doctor can't lie against his own morality, right? "

After finishing the second point, Schuster added something as if he remembered something.

"However, when you are going to the hospital, I hope that you will not disturb Feier's rest, otherwise, you will never get a single word of news from me from now on!"

After saying this, without waiting for the objections of the reporters, Schuster said the last point domineeringly.

"The third point is that I am here to promise the fans that none of the remaining league and Copa del Rey champions will give up. We are still the double champion this season. If I don't do this , then I will resign at the end of the season!"
