Chapter 274 Perez's Choice
Real Madrid also changed their head coach this summer. Although the official said it was because of "physical reasons," Ancelotti, who is delicious and delicious, doesn't look like physical reasons.

Well, a discerning person can actually see it at a glance.It is also because the chairman of Real Madrid, Perez, was dissatisfied with Real Madrid's performance in the Copa del Rey, the league, and the Champions League last season.Didn't win any championships, so even Ancelotti, who just led Real Madrid to the tenth Champions League trophy last season.Still "fired" by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid looking for a head coach hastily and in a hurry, coupled with Real Madrid's "tradition" that has not had much patience for the head coach, has made it impossible for Real Madrid to find a world-class coach in a short period of time.Therefore, in a hurry, Real Madrid could only poach their head coach from the Naples team in Serie A, also "Real Madrid man," Rafael Benitez.

Benitez is a "Madridian," without a doubt.After all, he is a Real Madrid youth training player, and at the same time enlightened his coaching career in Real Madrid's youth training echelon.However, even he is the head coach who has won the league championship and the Champions League.However, Benitez's own strength has been questioned by many people.

Therefore, among the voices that are hardly optimistic about Benitez's entry into Real Madrid, Rafael Benitez, the "Madridist," became the new head coach of Real Madrid.Among those who questioned him, there were many players from Real Madrid.Including Victor who newly joined Real Madrid.

Therefore, in a chat with Zidane, who stepped down from the position of Ancelotti's assistant coach and served as Real Madrid's B team and Castilla's head coach, Victor said, "Why don't you become Real Madrid as a matter of course? The head coach, Perez originally wanted you to be the head coach. And that Benitez, can he lead Real Madrid well?" Meaning.

But Zidane is a person with very high IQ and EQ.So vaguely told Victor that the head coach of Real Madrid is not in such a comfortable position.Then, as if mocking himself, he opened his mouth and said to Victor:
"In the past few years, I have been behind Carlo, and I can feel that Carlo is indeed very tired, not only because of football. After all, Real Madrid does not have many opponents in the league or in the Champions League. But non-football factors That's why Real Madrid can't win every championship. After all, real football is not a game."

"Okay." Victor could only nod his head, expressing his understanding.However, Victor also knows that compared with Juventus, although Real Madrid faces more off-court constraints.But in terms of strength, Real Madrid is more likely than Juventus to win the Champions League.

But Zidane immediately said to Victor again:
"But Vito, I think you should be able to appreciate these off-court factors soon?"

"Huh?" Victor naturally didn't immediately understand what Zidane said, but Victor also vaguely guessed something immediately.So, Victor tentatively asked:

"I remember the No. 10 jersey on my body, which used to belong to James (Rodriguez). I don't think I have such a great ability to make James take the initiative to give up his own number."

"But what if Mr. Chairman asked him to let him out?" Zidane said with a smile on his face, looking at Victor.

"Sir?" Victor asked in surprise.

"Yes." Zidane nodded immediately.Then, through Zidane's few words, Victor almost understood what Zidane wanted to tell him.After all, before and at the same time as Ancelotti's assistant coach, Zidane actually served as a consultant to Perez, who became the chairman of Real Madrid for the second time.And Zidane, in fact, he didn't like James Rodriguez very much from the beginning.After all, James' style of play is too similar to Real Madrid's first star player C-Ronaldo.Both require individuals to start dribbling in the opponent's danger zone.

However, compared to C-Ronaldo, James is too well-known in the world, and at the same time, it is compared at the level of football.James is undoubtedly not as good as C-Ronaldo.So in fact, after the World Cup ended last year, Zidane did not agree with Perez buying James.

But at that time, James won the golden boot of the World Cup, and was in consideration of commercial development in South America.Therefore, Perez signed James "over all odds".However, in the Champions League last season, Perez saw the commercial value of Victor.Plus C-Ronaldo has always wanted to bring Victor to Real Madrid.

Therefore, the transfer negotiations for Victor to join Real Madrid this summer will be so smooth.And after Victor joined Real Madrid, Perez immediately laughed from ear to ear.Just after the official announcement of the transfer, sponsorship negotiations from China immediately came to the door.Therefore, considering commercial reasons, Perez decisively made considerations in favor of Victor.

Take a look at the signature shoe contract signed between Victor and Nike. Nike still specially made CTR360 football shoes for Victor even if he returns to the striker position.Therefore, at the request of Perez.James could only be forced to give up his No. 10 jersey.Then put on the No. 16 jersey left by Lucas Silva, a young Brazilian midfielder who was loaned to Marseille this season and who has no place in Real Madrid.

Therefore, Victor very smoothly put on the No. 10 jersey at the joining ceremony.And earlier, after Victor’s number was officially announced, in the official flagship store of the Bernabéu stadium, if the fans in East Asia who came to visit, if they bought jerseys, the number 10 and Victor’s name were almost uniformly printed on it. .In Japan's Real Madrid resale store, the No. 10 jersey with Victor's name is also the only option.

This made Perez even more convinced that his decision was correct.Therefore, Zidane naturally knew that Perez immediately gave the new Real Madrid coach Benitez a death order.If Victor is not injured, then he must start more.

After finishing the brief exchange with Zidane, Zidane drove away from Real Madrid's training base and returned to his home.And Victor returned to his own dormitory.Thinking of Zidane's promise to himself, he will appease Benzema.However, on James' side, Zidane can do nothing.However, Victor was vaguely looking forward to the upcoming pre-match training.After all, football still has to rely on feet to speak.
