Chapter 83 The Wounded Lion

After the war of the century with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid was depressed.At this time, head coach Luxenberg also handed in his resignation to the club.

"Rather than the club taking the initiative to sweep the door, I might as well leave by myself." Facing the Brazilian gang, Luxenberg said bitterly.His honeymoon period with Real Madrid is over, even if the club keeps him, he will not stay.

This season's performance is poor, the club's player structure is aging, and it is very unsatisfactory in terms of Champions League and ticket sales.If he doesn't leave now, he will leave sooner or later.

"This is a crater, and it will erupt sooner or later." Before deciding to leave Real Madrid, Luxembourg specially invited everyone from the Brazilian gang together for a meal.

"This is probably the last time we will get together. I believe that within a week, I will pack up and leave." Sitting in the best hotel in Madrid, Luxenberg said to everyone with a smile.At this time, traces of aging can be clearly seen from his temples and forehead.

"Coach, we just lost a few games, and there are still many opportunities in the future, why did you get out of class?" Facing Luxenberg, Zhou Xing asked puzzled.

"Hey, don't you understand this? The recent record is poor, so you have to find a scapegoat. No need to look, the teacher is the scapegoat." Taking Zhou Xing's topic, Ronaldo said indignantly.Luxenberg was originally his mentor in the Brazilian league.More than anyone else, he had a special connection with Luxenberg.

"What if we show our attitude, support the coach, and not let him go?" Carlos asked at this point.

"I think that's the way to go. No matter how much we support, I don't think the chairman will listen to our opinions. If we don't make a good move, even we will pack up and leave!" Robinho thought for a while Once, said.

"Forget it, it's just a meal. I've made up my mind to go. I don't need you to keep me, I will go." Luxenberg laughed, then picked up the menu and began to order.

At this time, the cell phone beside him suddenly rang.

"Hey, why, the club decided to terminate the contract with me? Okay, okay, I got it." Luxenberg responded, showing a bitter smile, and this so-called handsome face was also a bit sad.

"That's good, I can also get more termination fees, enough for me to go back to Brazil to enjoy it." Facing these Brazil players, Luxenberg said.

"Forget it, forget it, this is a farewell dinner." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little sad, Carlos hurriedly changed the subject and started chatting about other things.

In November, Luxemborg finally left Real Madrid in a frenzy, leaving behind a mess.But all of this has little to do with Zhou Xing.At this time, he was still training on time as usual and didn't pay much attention to other things.A few days later, Real Madrid's technical director Sacchi also left Real Madrid.

Before the winter break, Real Madrid had a big change.However, since everyone knows the mess of Real Madrid, there are not many coaches in Europe who dare to take over this Galaxy battleship. They are afraid that if they are not careful, they will sink the Galaxy battleship with them.

Under the leadership of Real Madrid's second-team coach Carlo, Real Madrid continued to train and live, which seemed peaceful on the surface.But everyone knows that a new storm will be brewed next.

"I heard that Capello intends to join Real Madrid!"

"Eriksen, the head coach of the British national team, is very likely to become the new coach of Real Madrid."

A piece of news of unknown authenticity appeared in the media and newspapers.Promoted by them.However, the soldiers of Real Madrid didn't care so much.Next, they have to prepare for the league and Champions League games.

In the league, they are now No.4, six points behind Barcelona.In the later stages of the league, if they can't maintain their form, I'm afraid they will give up the championship.

In the Champions League, they performed pretty well, and they have already made it out of the group.Next, they will play away against Olympias in Greece.

To their delight, this game is irrelevant.No matter how Real Madrid plays, they will be the top two in the group.This game is considered an irrelevant game.

As there is no head coach for the time being, the temporary acting head coach Carlo led all the young players on the bench to Greece by plane.This game focuses on training.

In this game, Zhou Xing did not participate, but stayed in Madrid with Ronaldo and other main players, preparing for the next round of the league.On TV, Zhou Xing still saw the embarrassment of Real Madrid.

In the away game, they lost [-]-[-] to Olympias in Greece.Although Ramos scored the first goal, Olympias scored two goals in a row and lost the game.

Seeing this, Zhou Xing also frowned tightly, greatly disappointed.

"What's wrong, this team doesn't have any fighting spirit." Zhou Xing knew that the team was in turmoil, and it was inevitable that the results were not satisfactory.

However, he was still very dissatisfied in his heart.For more than a week, he has been training hard, hoping to score goals in the next round.In the next round, they will challenge Athletic Bilbao away.

Like a wounded lion, Zhou Xing silently licked and wiped his wound, hoping to perform well in the next round.
