Chapter 728 21 Visiting the Bernabéu 1
At the dinner, the two also talked about the work of the club. Real Madrid was originally the best team in the [-]th century, none of them, so they have a lot of experience worth learning from Trapani. Florentino is the first For the first time, he admitted in front of Hugo that the introduction of Zidane or Beckham had not only a competitive purpose, but also a more important commercial purpose.

"I am a businessman, and the times are completely different now! Running a club is like doing business. What is best for the club is the right way!" Returning to the chairmanship, Florentino seemed Fortunately, Calderon was in front. As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. The members of Real Madrid clearly realized that it is better to have Florentino on stage than Calderon on stage.

In the communication with Hugo and others, Florentino still puts sports in a very important position. This is inevitable. In fact, the evaluation of a club’s success is mainly in sports. If you want to talk about making money, Pozzo The family can make a lot of money, but Udinese will never be a great club.

Hugo has a deeper understanding. He comes from a world with a well-developed network, and he knows the energy of a traffic superstar.

But Lafayette is not a future man, and his path is similar to his. Hugo still admires Lafayette for his business.

At this dinner, the two parties also reached a private gentleman's agreement. Lafayette assured Hugo that he would never poach players without Trapani's knowledge, and Trapani would not do that either. Faye has no doubts that Hugo has the energy to buy the best players in the world.

First, Hugo is rich, and second, he is angry. He dares to invest money. No boss is more generous than him.

Lafayette also respects Hugo very much. He believes in his heart that Hugo is a fucking genius who makes money, and he can always think of various ideas to make money.

Later, everyone talked about their respective coaches. Compared with Trapani, Real Madrid’s dressing room has always been an uneasy existence. The current coach of Real Madrid is Manuel Pellegrini, who can be regarded as an old acquaintance of Hugo. Trapani has played against Villarreal several times, and Pellegrini is in office.

Hugo boldly predicted that Pellegrini would fail in Real Madrid because he couldn't control the dressing room. Once a crisis occurred, Pellegrini's qualifications could not control the scene.

This is different from Trapani. Trapani also has many superstars, but basically many of them have played in Trapani for many years and have deep feelings for the team. This is Trapani's advantage over Real Madrid. Trapani appears to be centripetal and cohesive.

Lafayette obviously has some expectations, but in the current situation, there are not many coaches to find. Real Madrid fans are a group of picky fans. They not only want to win, but also win well. It is very difficult to choose a conservative coach , Capello was invited by Calderon at the beginning, so what if he won the championship, the fans booed him, and he still had a very low evaluation.

……

The next night, the much-anticipated game was finally staged at the Bernabeu. Trapani's top executives sat in the box and waited patiently for the start of the game.

In the locker room of the home team, Pellegrini is doing the final mobilization before the game. For Real Madrid players, this is a game they are looking forward to, from the first moment they are assigned to this group , The public opinion thinks that they can only take the second place in the group, and don't even think about the first place anyway. Trapani seems to be a team that is not at the same level as them.

"When I first led the team here, for me, the Bernabeu is a football mecca! Our club is the greatest club in the world, our stadium is also the greatest stadium in the world! Today I I hope you can use your actions on the court to tell everyone that this is the Bernabeu, even if the opponent is Trapani, they are considered to be one of the biggest favorites in this year's Champions League, but we should tell them that this is the Bernabeu...."

Pellegrini doesn't really like to mobilize before the battle, but this game is too important to him and the team. He needs this victory to prove that he is worthy of Real Madrid. You know When he became the head coach of Real Madrid, public opinion was taken aback. Obviously everyone thought he was not worthy of Real Madrid. Now it is time to face him.

For the team, there are too many newcomers this summer, and the main lineup has changed a lot. A heavyweight victory can greatly improve the morale of the team and let everyone know that they can beat any opponent.

In the locker room of the visiting team, the atmosphere in Trapani was not so grand. Everyone was talking and laughing and preparing for this fierce battle. For Trapani, the experience of the Champions League is already very rich, and the team has enough ability Facing any opponent, for them, there is only one purpose in coming to the Bernabeu, and that is to win.

Bielsa had nothing to say. Instead, assistant coach Pochettino clapped his hands and reminded every player.

"We need to play with speed and learn to control the rhythm. Their offense is known for their speed, so we need to use a faster rhythm to beat them!"

"Remember, this is not an ordinary game! This is an absolute group first game! For this game, everyone must play this game with the attitude of playing the final!"

"Pay attention to the distance between the three lines, and pay attention to defensive protection!"

"Strengthen the siege of Cristiano Ronaldo, pay attention to his long shots! Carlos, don't be fucking distracted today, you have been Ronaldo's teammate, you know his characteristics!"

Pochettino has the potential to be a head coach, and he speaks well.

Before the start of the game, for a while, Kenyon asked Hugo if he wanted to visit everyone in the locker room. Hugo finally refused. He didn't want to cause troubles for the players. The work that should be done has been done. My own aura is too full, it is not a good thing for everyone to go.

After sitting in the stands for a long time, the game is finally about to start.

During the period when Trapani was playing this game, the team's injury problems were actually a bit serious. The defensive core Barzagli was injured and absent for as long as two months during the national team match day, while Tony He also missed this game with a minor injury, and Henry on the front line will also be absent for a month due to injury.

Bielsa finally offered a 433 lineup in this game. This is the first time he has used such a lineup in the Champions League this season.

Goalkeeper: Kameni
Defenders: Macho, Victor, Boateng, Evra
Midfielders: Mascherano, Schweinsteiger, Kaka

Forwards: Messi, Di Maria, Suarez

Real Madrid's Pellegrini used a 442 formation:

Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas
Defenders: Ramos, Pepe, Albiol, Marcelo
Midfielders: Las Diarra, Xabi Alonso, Ronaldo, Granero

Forwards: Raul, Benzema
The average age of these two teams is not very old. Real Madrid has a lot of newcomers, as well as old players belonging to Trapani. Pepe played in Trapani before, but he failed to play in Trapani. After making a name for himself and returning to Porto, this guy became a bit enlightened. Mendes knew how to do business and recommended Pepe to Calderon. Calderon paid 3000 million euros for this. Everyone was taken aback, because a Pepe was not worth the price at all.

This guy, like his fellow Luiz, has been a little frizzy so far. Bielsa didn't dare to use David Luiz in this game. He would rather use Victor. Victor is not mentally focused this season, but the victory is not lacking in experience. In this way Once the important game is cheered up, it will be of great use!
