Chapter 342 Misfortune is what blessings rely on, and blessings are what disasters are!
After Schuster finished his three points, the reporters who were still in an uproar fell silent. At this moment, they didn't know what to ask.

The German said this in front of so many reporters present today, and he obviously thought carefully.If you don't succeed this season, you will die. At this time, some reporters felt a sense of sadness in their hearts.

This is a champion coach. Last year's five championships almost made him the best coach of the year.If it weren't for the old coach Aragones who led Spain to win the European Cup that they haven't touched in decades, he would be the best on the planet.Although many people think that he only relies on stars like Gago and Robben to win those championships.

But why didn't those coaches win the "five crowns" when the seven superstars of Real Madrid were present?

But today, Schuster had to use this desperate method to keep himself in the position of Real Madrid's head coach.

Every star who comes to the Bernabeu is doted on by the fans, but any coach at the Bernabeu is ignored by the fans.

When "Daddy" Bosque, who helped the team win thirteen championship trophies, was swept out by Florentino, not many fans pleaded for him.

Twice led the team to complete the reorganization when the Los Blancos were at their lowest point, breaking the "Dream Team [-]" and "Dream Team [-]" in La Liga. The gold medal coach Fabio Capello was kicked out twice in a row because his style of play was not liked by the fans. bernabeu.In the whole world, only this extremely noble club can get such humiliating treatment.

And is it finally Schuster's turn now? He is considered a young rookie in the coaching world. The German head coach who was known as the "King of Barcelona" during his player period reached its peak here.The unprecedented "five crowns" brought him to the top and also led him to perdition.The fans judged him by last year's standards. Only the "Six Champions" could surpass last year, but the dream was shattered at this moment, and Schuster was criticized by thousands of people.

At this moment, many people felt sympathy for Schuster in their hearts, wondering whether the accusations against him were too cruel.

But in the next moment, these concepts were thrown away by them, sympathy is worth a few dollars, the fans want to be scapegoats, and the head coach is the best candidate.There will always be fans who are reluctant to scold the players, but scolding the head coach is recognized by most fans.The media will write what the fans want to see, otherwise how could their newspaper sales increase.

After Schuster finished speaking, the reporters who were awakened by their professional instincts after a while raised their hands.Although a problem has passed, a more exciting news has appeared, and they cannot let this go.

But after Schuster finished speaking, he put on a look of refusing to interview. After the reporters ignored the questioning, they had no choice but to pass the microphone to the captain Raul.

"As the captain of the team, your performance in yesterday's game can be said to be extremely poor. Can you tell me how you feel now?"

Raul did not refuse the question, he opened his mouth to meet all the demands of the reporters, and said those official words that satisfied most people.

……

At the end of this press conference, it can be said that both the host and the guest are suitable. Although Schuster was very uncooperative, the last point he said was enough to increase the sales of newspapers of major newspapers by several percentage points.

And through the media around the world, the "military order" that Schuster made to the fans spread all over the world.For a while, there were lamentations, some retention, and some gloating, but most of them just watched with cold eyes.

For some sensible Real Madrid fans, knowing that losing a good head coach may bring the team into a trough again.Just like Bosque left Real Madrid, some fans think that Schuster is no longer suitable for the current Real Madrid, and his existence will only make the team stalemate or even regress.

Real Madrid's opponents all applauded. The dominant performance of the Blancos last year made all clubs fearful.Except for Manchester United and Chelsea, other teams are vulnerable to them.This year, there is an extra Barcelona to wrestle with them, but the strength that is superior to other giants still scares non-Real Madrid fans.

If Schuster really leaves at the end of the season, then Real Madrid will definitely fall into a short-term trough.Other teams can strengthen their combat effectiveness at this time in order to fight against the recovered Real Madrid.

No matter how the Real Madrid fans express their views, fans of other giants hope that Schuster can leave after the end of the season.Including all the teams in La Liga, the result of the entire sky being ruled by white terror is really terrible.

So taking advantage of Gago's injury and when Real Madrid was at their lowest point after being out of the Champions League, other opponents in La Liga tried their best to snipe the top Los Blancos.

The first to put into action is the No. 20 opponents of the seventh round of the Real Madrid League. In this game, Schuster has rotated most of the main players. In addition to Gago and Robben who are still recovering from injuries, Raul, Higuain, Ka Navarro, Marcelo, and Casillas all got a chance to rest.Bench players such as Huntelaar, Sneijder and Heinze got the chance to play.

But this set of half-main and half-substitute lineup was defeated by Athletic Bilbao 4:2 in the away game.Huntelaar opened the scoring for the team, but was reversed by the opponent with four consecutive goals in the next time.Heinze scored an own goal, and Metzelder was completely unable to replace Cannavaro's role. Llorente faced goalkeeper Dudek directly without turning twice in a row.After falling behind, Pepe got hotheaded and gave the opponent a penalty kick.

Although Higuain, who came off the bench in the end, scored a goal in stoppage time, he failed to save the overall situation.

This defeat made the media's criticism of Schuster even more joyful, and some Real Madrid fans who originally wanted to keep the German were also silent after this game.

After this round of the league, Real Madrid's three-point advantage disappeared, and Barcelona, ​​which started the game the next day, easily defeated the newly promoted Almeria relying on Bojan's brace.

But even so, Guardiola's brows have been tightly frowned recently.Although the news of Real Madrid's exit from the Champions League made Barcelona fans very happy, as the head coach, he couldn't be happy at all.Originally, according to Real Madrid's strength, they would only be out when they were in the top four.At that time, Real Madrid must have been crushed by the intensive schedule of the three-front battle.

However, Barcelona, ​​which only has the league and the Champions League, can take the opportunity to regain lost ground and reverse its arch-enemy to win the championship in one fell swoop.

But now the script deviates from what he imagined. Real Madrid was actually eliminated in the round of [-] and eliminated by the damn Chelsea.This does not mean that the advantage of their schedule is gone.

"Real Madrid, Real Madrid, why can't you give me a little more power, and let me knock out Chelsea before I get out?"

Looking at the comparison of the next two teams' schedules, Guardiola scratched his scalp once, ignoring the cruel truth that his head was gradually becoming bald.

After the UEFA Champions League round of [-] knockout rounds, Zhuqiang conducted the final draw ceremony. Although he didn't care about Real Madrid, Gago still watched the scene on time.

When he saw that Bayern drew Bayern Munich, he had a big smile on his face.

The faces of Bayern coach Klinsmann and Guardiola at the scene were so dark that they could hang a layer of ink, and the two old coaches Ferguson and Wenger were undoubtedly the ones who laughed the most.Manchester United drew Porto and Arsenal drew Villarreal.Both clubs are in the upper half of the competition. No matter what, the semi-finals are guaranteed. As for who can enter the final, it depends on who is more skilled than Sir Alex Ferguson and the professor.

Looking at the four teams in the second half of the division, after Ferguson and Wenger looked at each other, they had a tacit understanding and breathed a sigh of relief.

Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Chelsea and Liverpool are the team enemies.Only one of these four teams can enter the final, and no matter which team reaches the final, it must pay a heavy price in the end. This is definitely a good thing for Ferguson and Wenger.

And it must be a good thing for Real Madrid, the only direct opponent in the league is Barcelona.Gago knew that Guardiola's team had made it all the way to the final. Although the process was a bit dishonest, it was absolutely impossible to put all their energy into the league, so Real Madrid's hope of defending the title was even greater.

Although Real Madrid is now fighting on two fronts, only the final of the Copa del Rey is left in mid-May, and they can basically concentrate all their energy on the league.

On the other hand, it is absolutely impossible for Barcelona to give up the Champions League. If they want to win the championship, they have to play at least five games, and their opponents are not ordinary cats or dogs.They are all giants at the same level as them, and if they are not careful, they will be eliminated like Real Madrid.

With the lessons learned from Real Madrid, Guardiola must not dare to play all the games with a main lineup.And as long as he rotates, then Real Madrid has a chance, even if they don't lose, as long as there is a draw, it is possible for Real Madrid to win the final victory.

If you think about it this way, being out of the Champions League is not all bad for the team.

Misfortunes depend on blessings, blessings lie on misfortunes!
Did Schuster think of this before he dared to issue a military order in front of the media and club executives?

Gago felt as if he knew something!
"But it's not enough to rely on the opponent to make mistakes. First of all, we can't make mistakes. Otherwise, we will lose in the end."

After Schuster lost to Athletic Bilbao in the league, he immediately held an ideological mobilization meeting for the whole team, and explained in detail the current advantages of the team compared to Barcelona to his players, instilling a kind of " Such a good opportunity, if we all lose, then Real Madrid is indeed far inferior to Barcelona's thinking."

The players of Real Madrid certainly disagreed with this point of view. The passionate young people headed by Ramos began to clamor that they must win the league championship, and Barcelona was also under them for three consecutive years.
