Chapter 442 Zidane's Missing
With the end of the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals, the semi-finals were born.

Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool.

According to the order of the previous draw, Bayern's opponent is the mighty Barcelona.

Surprisingly, in the quarter-finals, Real Madrid lost to Tottenham in an upset.

After the dream of three consecutive championships last season was shattered, the team's top star Cristiano Ronaldo left the Apennines after being rejected for a maximum salary according to rumors, which dimmed the bright Galaxy battleship a lot.

Not only is it 17 points behind rival Barcelona in the league, it is even 2 points behind No.5 Atletico Madrid, ranking third in the standings.

The Copa del Rey semi-final was double-killed by Barcelona, ​​and the Champions League was eliminated. This season is destined to be fruitless.

But what is puzzling is that if it was someone else, such a grade would have left get out of class long ago?

But Zidane, as the coach, was not fired by the club.

For Real Madrid, who like to fire their employer coaches, this is indeed an anomaly.

In the early morning, Zidane arrived at the training ground early, walked casually with his hands behind his back.

Since last summer, with Ronaldo leaving the team and Bell's injuries continued, Real Madrid has fallen into a very downturn.

The BBC group that once made Europe fearful no longer exists.

The team's signings also revolve around rebuilding the striker.

Asensio and Vinicius have good potential, but they cannot carry the banner of Real Madrid's offense.

Especially in the national derby and the Madrid derby, Real Madrid's striker was misfired and lost in the game.

Summer signings have become the most important thing.

Florentino hopes to introduce Belgian winger Hazard to strengthen the team's lineup.

The former Premier League MVP Hazard himself also hopes to win the most important championship in his life-the Champions League in Real Madrid.

Hazard, who has excellent shooting skills, delicate footsteps, and excellent passing skills, is regarded as Ronaldo's successor.

But Zidane has his own ideas.

Rossi was more in line with his ideal type.

Elegant, smart and solid shooting skills, combined with chic and technical skills, who doesn't love such a player?

What's more, the huge commercial value behind him made even Florentino envious.

Since last year, the club has continuously sent transfer contracts, and the transfer fee has risen even higher, reaching an astonishing 1.6 million.

But Bayern remained unmoved.

In their view, Rossi is not for sale.

Zidane also knew that if it was him, a fool would sell Rossi.

This is quite a cash cow, even if he lies flat, the club's annual commercial income from him will be a considerable amount.

Not to mention, Rossi is in a hot state now, and his status in the arena is close to that of Messi and Ronaldo.

At this time, Zidane's phone rang, and the screen showed that it was the general manager of the team, Jose Sanchez.

After handing over training to Pintus, Zidane walked off the pitch and got on the phone.

In the team's training session, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to bring communication equipment.

If there is an emergency, the head coach himself can be found through the office phone.

This move also reflects that after Real Madrid fell into a downturn, the team's discipline became very loose.

Zidane could have refused to answer, but after seeing that it was the general manager of the team, after hesitating for a while, he decided to answer the call.

"Zinedine, good news!"

After hearing this, Zidane's frowning eased.

"I have reached a preliminary agreement with Chelsea's top management, and will introduce Hazard for 1 million euros after the end of the season."

Jose on the other end of the phone seemed so excited, but Zidane was very calm.

If Hazard can be introduced, it means that it is impossible for Real Madrid to introduce Rossi.

Real Madrid's signing plan in recent years has changed from the original buy, buy, buy to the "one big, small" policy.

A superstar + many potential monsters, without losing the luxurious starlight, and strengthening the depth of the lineup in the right position, is an important factor for Real Madrid to win two consecutive Champions League titles.

This healthy operating model has also allowed Real Madrid to gradually get rid of their huge debts.

Hearing Zidane's indifferent response, Jose said: "What's wrong, my old friend, such a thing didn't jump up. Are you worried about your handsome position?"

"Don't worry about this, I can guarantee that you will be the head coach next season. But you have to make good use of Hazard, otherwise the chairman will not be able to explain it."

Jose's implication is that now that the club has introduced superstars to you, if your performance is low, you will be fired even if you are a meritorious player.

How could Zidane not know, and complained: "You don't know how much pressure I have, it can't be solved by giving me Hazard."

In fact, he wants the team's transfer rights.

Only by introducing players who fit your own tactical system can you exert the strongest effect.

But Florentino would not agree easily.

As a businessman, Florentino is clearly aware that for Real Madrid, the introduction of players is not just about satisfying the unilateral requirement of performance.

From the original "Zidane + Pavon", starting with the policy of one superstar a year, Real Madrid has begun to move towards commercialization.

Although it can bring popularity and huge benefits to the club, there is no improvement in performance.

The "Galaxy Battleship Phase I" in charge of Florentino only won two La Liga titles in the first two years.

After gathering the six superstars, Real Madrid's room of honor is just one more Spanish Super Cup, and the Champions League is 16 Lang every year.

In the end, with the resignation of Florentino, the first phase of Galacticos also came to an end.

In 2009, rival Barcelona won six crowns, and Florentino once again served as the chairman of Real Madrid.

He reflected on his first term, and the business philosophy of the second phase of Galaxy Battleship is more mature and reasonable.

Hoarding superstars and strengthening the power of local gangs has become the direction of the team's signings.

After the introduction of top foreign players such as Ronaldo, Kaka, and Benzema, local players such as Alonso, Arbeloa, and Albiol joined the team.

Local players occupy a dominant position and have a stronger voice.

Real Madrid rebuilt the central axis within a year, and then adjusted the lineup according to the actual situation, laying the foundation for the team's recovery.

After winning the club's tenth Champions League trophy, Florentino's signing direction turned to youth training and young teenagers.

Carvajal, Vazquez, Asensio, Nacho, Isco, Varane, and Casemiro are all the main young players that Real Madrid has relied on in the past five years.

Now, once Hazard's transfer is reached, the club will close the transfer negotiations for Rossi and turn to dig more young demons.

"Old friend, I know you miss Rossi, but Bayern and his agent have been refusing to let go, I have nothing to do."

"I can't hang myself on a tree. It's better to settle for the next best thing."

Zidane also knew his difficulties, and said: "I understand you too, I am just complaining. It is the dream of every head coach to cooperate with the best players in the world."

"What's more, Luo's playing style is my favorite, as elegant and chic as me."

Jose laughed and said, "It's fine to play like you, but don't be bald like you."

"Screw you!"

After the two had a brief chat, Zidane hung up the phone and walked back to the training ground. When he saw the sloppy players, he immediately scolded them loudly.

"Didn't you have breakfast? After today's training, everyone will run ten laps for me. Yesterday's game was tied by Leganes, don't you think it's embarrassing!"

Under Zidane's angry reprimand, all the Real Madrid players were like little chickens, shrinking their necks and training seriously.

Only Zidane can shock these big guys.

After all, he is Qi Zu!
