Mister Legend

Chapter 331 Frustrated People

After Li Mudi got off the plane at Turin Caselle Airport, he didn't get in the car driven by Forsina and returned to the apartment immediately, but found a coffee shop there and sat there for more than half an hour. An old friend Zidane who flew over from Madrid.The Real Madrid coach came to Italy this time mainly to participate in a business event. He came to meet friends here by the way. He will stay with the Turin coach in the evening. The two people who have not been able to talk together for a long time will take advantage of this rare opportunity to have a good chat.

Since their time was relatively tight, after a brief greeting with his friend and his manager Migliaccio, Moody Li signaled everyone to leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble if they were late.This time it is a commercial promotion activity organized by Armani, so the two of them and even other spokespersons such as Mourinho and other big names will be present, and the scale is very large.It was precisely because of this event that the coach of Turin was unable to stay in Tianchao for two more days, and had to hurry back, but he had to do his best to do things for him after taking other people's money, the most basic occupation Discipline is still a must.

This business event was very grand, and there were many celebrities from all walks of life in Europe and America, which attracted the attention of countless people.But for Li Modi who is not very familiar with these people, it is quite boring. Compared with those stars in the entertainment industry, they are several levels behind in the sports world, and they have become their foil.Even though Turin, one of the holy lands of football, has not been able to overthrow the laws of the world, it is also good. The three most famous coaches in the world football At the same level, but the advantage is that they are young and have great potential) got together, hid in a corner and exchanged their experiences, and finally did not let these two hours go to waste.

But when the event ended, the three of them still chose to leave immediately. The Manchester United coach had other arrangements, so he said goodbye and rushed elsewhere.Qi and Li took Guinness to the guild hall opened by Tianchao Capital and enjoyed a mixed meal of Chinese and Western food, rewarding their stomachs and taste buds.After eating, at about [-]:[-] in the evening, Guinness left alone. He had to rest early and flew back to Spain early tomorrow morning to handle company affairs.The remaining two returned to Li Moody's apartment without any haste, and a conversation that might be written into Qi Zu's memoirs began immediately.

Real Madrid's performance last season was absolutely outstanding, although it was not perfect, after all they lost the Copa del Rey, but the two results of La Liga and the defending Champions League are also dazzling enough, which basically guarantees that Zidane can The honor of being elected as the best head coach in the world for the second consecutive year.Before the official start of this season, the Galaxy Battleship, which lost big-name stars such as Morata and Ronaldo in the transfer market, also played an impressive game. After the young talents such as Austria and the recovery of Mbappe, Jesse and Vallejo who were on loan, the youth storm of the team surprised the whole world for a while, and almost all the media shouted: "They will continue to rule. Ten years in football."

In the case of the old injury on the top card, he first defeated the Red Devils Manchester United 2-1 in the European Super Cup, and then returned to China and double-killed the arch-enemy Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. This performance is indeed worthy. With all the praise on the Internet, it seems that after the lineup has been greatly younger, Real Madrid's strength has actually increased, which is really terrible.However, such a situation against the sky is really unlikely to happen. A powerful bomb was detonated when the team was gaining momentum, which directly put the world's best club into a sudden predicament. in the bureau.

Ronaldo, when this name is mentioned, everyone's general opinion is that he is one of the two quasi-ball kings in the world, and currently has the most supporters and sunspots in the world.It is undeniable that after landing at Old Trafford as Beckham's successor, he has been the most watched top star in world football for the past 14 years, and in terms of the club's achievements and honors, It is true that only Messi can share the same score with him. Apart from the slightly controversial performance of these two people in international competitions, the older generation of Qi Zu, Ronnie and others have gradually disappeared from the memory of fans.

Since joining the Bernabeu in the summer of 2009 with a world-record transfer fee at the time, Ronaldo has started his journey to dominate the world. As of now, he has helped Real Madrid win dozens of trophies, the most important of which is There are three Champions Leagues, two leagues and two Copa del Rey.In addition, in terms of personal honors, everyone is stunned. Apart from the top scorer titles in various competitions, three Golden Globe trophies, the Champions League scorer, Real Madrid's historical scorer, and the top five European leagues. ... All of this shows that he has become a living legend.And just in the 2016 European Cup in France, Ronaldo also led Portugal, which was not too optimistic before the game, to win the first major championship in team history, filling his vacancy in the national team.

It can be said that if there was not such a monster as Messi in the same period, Ronaldo would already be the third recognized football king in the world.But it's pretty much the same now, as long as he can win the World Cup before retiring, then he can properly condense the godhead, and it will only exist in legends from now on.

However, this emperor superstar is very capable and has a big temper, no, it should be said to be quite big, and he will come out to make a fuss if he is a little dissatisfied. The relevant situation has been mentioned before, so I won't mention it here.In short, Lafayette and other Real Madrid executives have always adopted an attitude of concessions and compromises. The appeasement and the increase in the price of economic interests have finally managed to maintain a basic state of unity and stability over the years.But what he caused this time was a bit big, which directly caused great fluctuations in the team's performance, aroused continuous heated discussions among the Spanish media and netizens, and even made Qi Zu have a headache to the point where he couldn't stand it up.

Due to injuries, Ronaldo did not start the first game of the season in the European Super Cup. However, with the outstanding performance of Mbappe and other fresh blood, Real Madrid still won the powerful Manchester United, which made him always think that he is indispensable to the team. The missing Portuguese superstar is a little upset.Moreover, when he challenged Barcelona in the first round of the Western Super Cup, before he came on the field in 8 minutes, Real Madrid's teenagers were evenly matched with the rivals who played with the main force. This completely inspired the fighting spirit of the World Footballer. Ronaldo There is no need to question his ability. It is with his long-range shots that the team took the lead again and set the tone for victory.However, he undressed calmly to celebrate and drew a yellow card, and then fell to the ground after dribbling the ball into the penalty area.

In fact, if this matter stops here, it will not have much impact. Even without him, Real Madrid has a great possibility of winning this year's Western Super Cup based on the wonderful performance of the young players in the team.Taking a 32-step back, what if you lose this championship title? How valuable is this kind of trophy with the nature of a warm-up match in terms of Real Madrid's status.However, the 5-and-a-half-year-old Ronaldo, like a spoiled child, pushed the referee Ben Goye from behind when he was dissatisfied with the penalty, which immediately caused an uproar.After the game, the Spanish Football Association quickly made a penalty decision and banned Real Madrid's top card for [-] games. He will miss the second round of the Western Super Cup and the first four rounds of the league.

The reason why Lafayette dared to send Morata, Ronaldo and Mariano attackers in one breath in the summer is because he felt that Ronaldo, the world's strongest attacker who is still immortal, is there, supplemented by Mbappe. The talent is outstanding, and the team's offensive power will not decline too much.And once the young players have been tempered for a period of time and gradually grow up, Real Madrid's scoring ability will be stronger than before.However, the number one star was lost at the beginning of the league. This requires Asensio, Mbappe and Jesse to immediately have the strength to carry the team's backbone, which is somewhat too reluctant.

Sure enough, after defeating Deportivo, which had long since lost its prestige, with three goals in the first round away game, Real Madrid encountered great trouble when they faced Valencia, one of their bitter masters, in this round. There are some problems with all the front sights.Even though Zizou gave Benzema, Bale, Isco, Asensio, Mbappe and Jesse all six attackers a chance to play through the substitution operation, they only scored 22 of 6 shots in the game. Failed to help the team achieve two consecutive victories.With Ramos and Varane absent and Navas in an unstable state, they were forced to a 2-2 draw by their opponents, and they were in an unfavorable situation at the beginning of the league.

After being tied 1-1 by the weak team Levante at home in the third round, they are already four points behind Barcelona, ​​which is the leader of the standings. This disappointed the supporters, but the unexpected thing they didn't expect is far from coming.In the fifth round of the league, Real Madrid finally ushered in Ronaldo. With an absolute advantage of more than 20% of the ball at home, the audience dedicated 12 poor shots. Among them, the Portuguese himself was 2 of 1. The super wave shot made the team not only failed to get the three points that were considered to be stable before the game, but also was killed by Betis in the last minute, suffered the first defeat of the new season, and let Real Madrid in The standings continued to drop.

In the next two rounds of the league, Qi Zu's team finally stopped the bad state in time and won Alaves and the Spaniard one after another, but the process of the game was extremely difficult.People with a discerning eye can easily see that this year's most powerful candidate for the Ballon d'Or is obviously out of balance in his mentality. He is unwilling to cooperate with his new teammates, but keeps trying to use his personal ability to prove that he is the number one in the world star status.The performance of 13 shots, 2 shots on goal, 0 goals and 0 assists in the two games is really embarrassing. Fortunately, his state or luck in the Champions League is better, and only 14 of 5 shots hit the goal frame Within the range, 4 goals were scored, which can be regarded as saving some face for him.

However, the current atmosphere within Real Madrid is very bad, with Ronaldo as the mainstay, and the overseas senior players including his friends Benzema, Marcelo and other team backbones. The attitude of the two teenagers is very cold, while Asensio and Jesse have a slightly better life because of their identities as local players, but the situation is still not very optimistic.Lafayette originally expected Mbappe to form an effective rotation with the "[-] million" superstar this season, and then sell Bell next summer to restore the French teenager.And Ronaldo, who is one year older, will gradually give way to Asensio next season, and the team's replacement will be completed quietly.

But the idea is good, but the reality is not always satisfactory.The Welsh winger has been in a nightmare cycle of being injured, recuperating, coming back to look for form, and getting injured again. It's like being cursed, and it's useless at critical times.As Ronaldo grew older, his competitive state also declined significantly, but his temper did not decrease, and he still had a mentality of being the only one who respected himself and refused to accept anyone.Benzema can finally no longer take the blame, because of the ultra-low scoring rate and the ability to waste opportunities, everyone basically agrees that he is one of the cancers in the team.

These three bosses have no overall form in the new season, but they are still unwilling to give way to the newcomers, and even made some moves to exclude them. The Real Madrid team is already in trouble.Even if the performance has not reached the worst state, Qi Zu already has a premonition that if he does not intervene, he may be kicked out in a month or two, let alone a new contract extension.Compared with the praise from the media before the start of the season, this is a complete 180-degree turn. It's not that he can't accept this fact, but that the world is changing too fast!

So in my friend's apartment at night, while casually drinking red wine from France, the Real Madrid coach complained, saying that he never imagined that the team would have such a big change in such a short period of time. The sad expression of being unable to control the situation was very clearly revealed.

After waiting for the other party to vent his depression, Li Mudi responded calmly: "There is an ancient book in the Celestial Dynasty called "Lu Shi Chunqiu", which was compiled in more than 200 BC. It is also based on Taoist theory and incorporates many theories. The famous book. There is a very famous sentence in it, which is called: "Flowing water does not rot, and the hinge of the door does not moth". The translation means that the long-flowing water does not stink, and the door hinges that are constantly turning are not eaten by insects. This principle can be applied The same is true for team building. Real Madrid has been able to dominate the world football in the past two years, relying on the top-level and stable superstar lineup. However, they quickly fell to the bottom after experiencing the peak, but it is precisely because they are too stable. , lost its previous vigor."

At this point, the Turin coach took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and continued to give his thoughts: "Although the current state of the team is somewhat on the verge of falling all the way to the bottom, after all, the season has just started and there is still time. There are many, it's time to show determination and make a change. Remember the advice I gave last summer? Take advantage of the player's value at its highest level, break up the BBC, leave at most one person, Then use the exchanged funds for reinforcement. Unfortunately, I still missed the best opportunity in the summer transfer window. Last year, Bell added more than 1000 million to exchange for De Gea. This year, it is possible to fill in an extra 2000 million. , As for next summer... it depends on Jose's mood, you know he doesn't have any kindness towards Real Madrid now, maybe he will no longer look down on the Welsh by then, it's all uncertain."

After all, Li Mudi shook his head slightly, ignoring his friend's complexion which was getting worse and worse.
